The affairs of Northwest Dzungaria still need to be decided by the two saints, but at least in the last few years, there will be no friction.

Turgut will not give up the ancestral pasture like this, after getting the aid of Daqi, he will definitely have to meet Dzungaria again for the last time, stay where he is because he wins, and move westward if he loses.

Dzungaria will also spend several years of work to digest the new territory, and then the land eaten by those small tribes will also be recovered, plus the Turghat is gone, and the Kipchaks and Dzungar have opened a piece, so that in this way, there will be no friction between Dzungar and Daqi in six or seven years.

But even so, Daqi can't do nothing, Jia Hui thought about it, and began to personally write some military orders and send them to the Rest Capital Protectorate.

。。。。。。

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.

There are still quite a lot of origins of the begging festival, even if you go to the Hanlin Academy and ask those decades old Hanlin, they will not necessarily explain all the origins of this festival.

However, this does not affect the fact that the Qiqiao Festival has become one of the legal holidays of Daqi.

It's a holiday for the daughters' families.

It's a pity that the girl from the Jia family who came with the big house is only one of them to welcome the spring, and the children in the second room are all in Luoyang Rongguo Mansion, so this kind of excitement has nothing to do with the spring exploration

But Yingchun will not be lonely, after all, Daiyu, Xiangyun, several girls from the Shi family, and even Wang Xifeng have come over

Luckily, I had a lot of stuff to offer.

Although the important ceremonies of the festival are held at night, there are also many interesting activities during the day.

Fun things to do at my daughter's house.

However, there are some projects that Jia Hui also has a lot of fun

"Hurry up, second girl, get the box quickly, I'll find a big one!"

In the corner of the courtyard wall, Jia Hui waved to Yingchun excitedly and asked her to come over.

"Come on" Yingchun, whose little face was a little pale, walked to the eldest brother with some anxiety, handed him the small box in his hand, and then hurriedly covered his eyes with both hands, and looked at Jia Hui's hand from time to time if he wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it

"Haha, look, second girl, look, it's not big!" After some manipulation in his hands, Jia Hui excitedly lifted the small wooden box and showed it to Yingchun, so frightened that Yingchun hurriedly took a few steps back.

Still, Yingchun saw what was in the small box.

A small spider.

Joy spider coincidence.

A custom born quite early, on the day of Qixi Festival, the daughters' families will catch some small spiders alive and put them in small boxes.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, each of them caught the spider in a small box, until dawn opened; Seeing the cobwebs as dense is a coincidence. The secret ones have many clever words, and the rare ones have few clever words.

It's just a bitter spider.

The activity is very interesting, but the daughter's family is more or less afraid of insects, and Yingchun is especially afraid, so Yingchun is unprecedentedly spoiled to her big brother who seems to be omnipotent.

Help, must help! My fairy-like girls are all coquettish to me, if you don't help her catch ten or eight, then it's okay! I'm worthy of my sister-in-law's coquettishness!

So, before dawn, Jia Hui had already carried more than a dozen small wooden boxes with breathing holes the size of needle's eyes and began to sweep the courtyard!

Seeing that his eldest brother was going to rummage for spiders again, Yingchun bit his lip a little tangled. She could tell that the eldest brother hadn't had enough fun, but he had caught thirteen of them.

"Big brother, I've caught thirteen of them, and the boxes are all used up, is this too much?" After struggling for a while, Yingchun still decided to dissuade the eldest brother.

"Ah, full? Okay, let's not catch it." Hearing the girl say that the box had run out, Jia Hui reluctantly stood up, still unsatisfied.

Hey, that's fun!

After two days of free, come to the yard again, and be sure to catch more insects to make specimens!

Jia Hui suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to have learned the craft of making insect specimens

I don't know how much I can recall after all these years.

"It's done, you just choose a small wooden box to bring with you, and give the rest to Si Qi, let her take care of the remaining twelve boxes, and wait for tomorrow to be tomorrow, anyway, when the time comes, you can pick a densely woven net and bring it to compare with them."

"Ah, but this. Isn't it cheating? Yingchun looked at his eldest brother with his mouth open, looking incredulous.

Big brother is actually teaching himself to cheat!

"What's the matter, your little sisters are also strong in temperament, maybe they all do this, it's okay." Jia Hui said to Yingchun with a smile, and wanted to touch the two horns on Yingchun's head, but when he thought that there was still dust on his hands, he dispelled this idea.

"But." was said by Jia Hui, Yingchun was a little moved, but his morality still did not allow him to cheat in the way to compete, and he was very entangled.

"Hehe, don't worry, big brother told you quietly, everyone does this!"

"Huh?" Yingchun looked shocked.

"Hehe, I can't think of it and I'll whisper something to you again, in the past, when your sister-in-law competed with her little sisters during the Chinese Valentine's Day, she did the same.

Every Tanabata Festival, she will ask me to help her catch a dozen spiders for her to spare, and when it is time to open the box, she will pick out the densest one to take away and compete with others."

Yingchun grew her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect such an elegant and dignified sister-in-law to be this kind of person!

"Oh, the concubine seems to hear someone saying bad things about me"

A bony and white Rouyi suddenly appeared between the brother and sister, covered Yingchun's little face, and took her into his arms.

"Second girl, you say, who said bad things about my sister-in-law just now?" Li Kun smiled and stroked the fluff on Yingchun's face, and was so frightened that Yingchun's little face turned white because he heard his sister-in-law's glorious deeds back then.

Hey, it's so cute

Yingchun's cowering appearance successfully aroused Li Kun's interest, so the paws that rubbed Yingchun's little face changed from one to two

"Hmm"

"Oh, it's okay, it's not too early, Daiyu Xiangyun and they should also arrive, go to Yingchun, go and play with your little sister." At the critical moment, it had to be his brother who was reliable, seeing that Yingchun's little face was about to be rubbed by his mother-in-law's red eyes, Jia Hui blocked Li Kun's hands with both hands and successfully rescued Yingchun.

"Come, take this, this is only the biggest, I estimate that the net knot should also be the densest" Jia Hui lifted up the dozen or so small wooden boxes that had been slipping in his hand, looked at the marks on them, handed one of the small boxes to Yingchun, and reveled in Yingchun's sweet sentence of "Thank you, big brother".

Hey, hey, my sister is so cute

"Hey, wake up, wake up, the saliva is going to stay!"

"Ah, what?" Jia Hui, who was awakened, hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and was about to wipe it to his mouth, but found that Li Kun was looking at him with a smile on his face

"Okay, I'm so capable, I dare to tease me!" Jia Hui was furious, and stretched out his salty pig hand to implement the family law, but was deftly dodged by Li Kun, who had been prepared

The husband and wife who grew up together were selfless in the yard, and you chased me and fought for a while, as if they were back in their youth.

。。。。。。

"I won, I won, hurry, Yun'er, I am willing to lose the bet, call my sister quickly!" Seeing that the needle she threw in the basin was so skillful, Daiyu happily hugged Xiangyun who was pouting, and kept telling her in her ear that she was willing to gamble and lose and call her sister.

At this time, Xiangyun only felt that this person was very noisy

Needle test.

This project is a variant of the Qixi needle-threading custom of begging, which originates from the needle-threading, but is different from the needle-threading, and is the prevailing Qixi festival custom.

The so-called needle test, that is, on the day before the Chinese Valentine's Day, prepare a basin, put it in the patio, and pour in the "mandarin duck water", that is, mix the water taken during the day and the water taken at night.

However, most people mix river water and well water and pour it into the basin, and only people like high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants and squires have this idle time to come originally.

The basin and water should be left in the open air overnight, and then the sun will be basked during the day on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, and it will be "tested" at noon or afternoon.

After half a day of sunlight, the flour remaining in the basin begins to ferment and stick, and the water surface vaguely forms a film, so take a sewing needle and gently place it flat on the water surface.

The needle will not sink, under the water, there will be a needle shadow, if the needle shadow is a straight one, that is, "begging" failure, if the needle shadow forms a variety of shapes, or curved, or one end thick, one end thin, or other figures, it is "skillful".

Somehow, it is clear that the needles placed by the two of them are only two inches apart, and the pattern pressed out by Daiyu is more complicated than Xiangyun

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count, I just played abnormally and didn't throw it well! I'm going to throw it again! After that, Xiangyun was about to reach into the basin and take out his needle, but he didn't expect a slender jade hand to grab her slender wrist, so that she couldn't move in an inch, and the fingertips were only three inches away from the needle, but under the grip of this slender but powerful hand, it was like a galaxy across it.

"This can't be done, one person has one chance, it's been said a long time ago! Willing to lose! "Seeing that Xiangyun is going to cheat, Daiyu will pay it back when she hears this? Hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed Xiangyun's wrist, and with a slight flick, Xiangyun was overturned on the couch, looking at the slender and thin girl in front of him with a blank face, as if a gust of wind could be blown down, but in fact, she could easily lift herself west onto the couch

I really don't even dare to lose my temper!

What if I lose my temper and make Sister Lin unhappy, how about Sister Lin smashing a punch in my face?

I'm afraid that every year's Qixi Festival is the death day of my big girl, right?

This. Isn't it just a title? Shout!

"Sister Lin Lin."

"Hey, Sister Yun'er." Hearing that Shi Xiangyun finally changed her words, Daiyu laughed happily, reached out to help Xiangyun up, patted Xiangyun's messy clothes when she was turned over on the couch just now, and helped her clean up her somewhat displaced head

Around the basin, Wang Xifeng, who was frightened by Lin Daiyu's inadvertent means, and several sisters of the Shi family were so frightened that their faces stiffened a little.

This. Sister Lin. Ah no, Miss Lin won't break out and hurt people, right?

"Hey, Brother Hun, what did my cousin and niece grow up eating, why is she so strong?" Hearing the noise from the girl's side, Shi Nai, who was afraid of some situation, hurriedly looked over and witnessed the scene of Daiyu overturning Shi Xiangyun.

"Ah, just eat normally. But I did teach Daiyu some archery." Jia Hui, who was talking with Wang Ziteng, heard his cousin ask him, thought about it and replied.

"No, archery. Daiyu has a daughter's family, and she is this age. She's supposed to be using a small soft bow now, right? Isn't this thing just barely on target? Shi Nai didn't believe it.

"Yes, Captain, how could the little soft bow allow Daiyu's niece to practice this kind of strength?" Wang Ziteng next to him also caught a glimpse of the scene when Daiyu overturned Xiangyun just now.

"That's nature, that soft bow is a toy for children's enlightenment, and it's good to be able to hit the target, but." Jia Hui nodded in agreement with the two of them's thoughts, but looked at Shi Nai again, and his tone changed, "Didn't Xiangyun tell your cousin a few days ago?" Daiyu is already able to use a stone bow with her hands and feet."

"What? A stone bow? Good girl." Shi Nai, who was originally a little surprised by Daiyu's strange power, was really shocked this time.

A stone bow, even those guards may not be able to pull a stone bow!

Although it is a combination of hands and feet, Daiyu is only seven or eight years old now!

"This Lin Tanhua and Cousin Min are really. I gave birth to a good girl." After organizing for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, and in the end, Shi Nai could only praise Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.

"Oh, if you want to study hard, you don't read, you said that you have to work hard to create a knighthood by yourself, it doesn't matter if you read or not, it's enough to write military orders in person, now it's good, people won't praise it!" Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding looked at his second brother Shi Nai with disdain.

"Hey, when the eldest brother wanted to inherit the title and interact with the noble relatives, he naturally had to learn this. But don't we have to work hard for the future, then I must have to practice martial arts more, how can I have time to learn this? You say, don't you? Shi Nai looked at Shi Ding with a disapprehensive expression.

"Don't, I'm famous, don't confuse me with you!"

"You kid"

Shi Nai, who couldn't say Shi Ding, was annoyed and ashamed, and pounced on Shi Ding and began to fight with him

Jia Hui also turned around and began to watch the excitement.

The two of them are brothers, and today is also a holiday, they both have a sense of proportion in their hearts, the two of them are just having a joke, I didn't see that the two of them were not even beaten in the face!

"Captain, Captain?" Just as Jia Hui was looking at it, Wang Ziteng once again came to Jia Hui's side.

"Alas, Uncle Shi, the affairs of the Shangzhi pro-army are really not in my hands, you also stayed in the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, you should also know that the appointment and dismissal power of the Shangzhi pro-army is held by the emperor, right? If you really want to join the direct army, then take the exam in two days." Jia Hui's face turned pale, this prince Teng had not been in his house for a quarter of an hour today, and he began to gather around him to inquire about the affairs of the Shangzhi Army, and even intensified, he was thinking that he would directly operate him into the Shangzhi Army.

Oh, if it weren't for today's festival for fear of disturbing the interest of his sisters, he would have invited Wang Ziteng out a long time ago!

Alas... The date of the interview results is getting closer and closer, and I can't concentrate on anything now...
