"Ah Da, you did the right thing---" Huo Dao lifted a bowl and saluted it, and drank it.

Huo Zhennan took a sip and was about to speak, but Huo Nanzhi sobbed and said, "Ah Da, I'm sorry, I'm ignorant."

Huo Zhennan laughed and said, "No--- you are all my good sons and daughters---

began to sensationalize, Huo Dao couldn't stand this, poured a bowl of drunken spring breeze as strong as a knife, smiled at Huo Zhennan, pushed him and said with a grin: "Ah Da, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't accompany us, go to your cave room."

Huo Zhennan knocked his fingers on Huo Dao's head and reprimanded: "Boy, Lao Tzu dares to make jokes--- it's really no big or ---small."

After several days of drowsy cold and cloudy days, at night, it was not snowing, and the northwest wind blew on the face, like a knife cutting through it, and suddenly felt pain. I don't know if it's because of the wine, or because of the cold wind, everyone's faces are red and simple.

Slowly, the wine banquet dispersed, and the outside of the cave room was quiet. Even the women in the village began to collect bowls and butterflies, tables and chairs, but the groups of descendants still refused to leave. Seven horizontal and eight vertical, staggering around the table, drinking, shouting, and making noise---

Huo Gang twisted the wine jar, led a group of brothers to shake it step by step, swayed it over, sat on Huo Dao's body, supported it slightly, and grinned: "Fifth brother, you are married, how can you drink less--- come and accompany the brothers to drink a few more jars."

"Drink again, call your mother sister-in-law---" Huo Dao joked, it was a foul word, but it was a woman behind him, and he took two steps to catch up. In her early forties, but the maintenance is very exquisite, walking outside, it is estimated that she will think that she is a beautiful young woman in her thirties, who dares to believe that she is the mother of two babies. Qiong's fancy face cage, ruddy and fat white, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, Danfeng triangular eyes, not angry and self-imposing, moist and red lips plus a plump and full delicate posture, more coquettish, Dan lips are not opened, first hear laughter.

Haha smiled: "Little Five, if you dare to call the fourth aunt a sister-in-law, I will dare to respond."

Huo Daoyi smiled and said, "Fourth aunt, don't take the joke seriously---."

"Sa'm cowardly---," the fourth aunt smiled. To say that these four aunts are indeed the most important characters in Ganquan Village, they are known for their pungency and fire, and they are in charge of the internal affairs of Ganquan Village, but they are meticulous. Some people jokingly call her Wang Xifeng of Dream of Red Mansions, which does have a bit of her taste. Otherwise, how can Huo Zhenxi's cattle uniform be subdued. Her surname is Liang, her name is Fengjiao, and among the women in the village, she is naturally called Sister Feng. More because of her eight aqueducts, the largest Liang Liang Liang rose on the pearl.

Liangsheng is the most prestigious iron rooster in the entire eight aqueducts, not only thrifty, but also the door, his rice grain is fine by the grain. Her daughter Liang Fengjiao is the opposite, she is hot and lavish, but there has never been a mistake in the detailed accounts of all parties.

Provoked by her, Huo Dao smiled and said, "Sister Feng--- have worked hard for you."

"Sister Feng, I'm happy, I'll call my sister --- in the future" Liang Fengjiao laughed, and shouted to Li Xiulan not far away: "Lanzi, you ordered to go down to the room and heat some more dishes for Xiao Wu and them."

Liang Fengjiao pushed her son Huo Gang away, squeezed Huo Dao's side, avoided it at all, stroked Huo Dao's hair, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, how many days have you been back, and I don't know how to go to see your aunt, I really hurt you in vain."

looked at Shen Ling even more stunned, her hot eyes made people's faces hot for a while, and her heart was simple. Looking carefully from head to toe, Xu Xu asked: "Xiao Wu, this is the --- and beauty of your mother-in-law brought back from Xi'an, and her charm is like an orchid, not to mention that you think it is the character of which prince."

"Fourth aunt, I'm smiling" Shen Ling stood up in shock, bowed deeply in front of her, and said in a low voice.

Liang Fengjiao got up, put her arm on her shoulder, took his hand, smoothed the hair on her shoulder with one hand, slowly stroked it down her back, and gently patted it on her buttocks, so frightened that Shen Ling hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but respectful but panicked.

Liang Fengjiao laughed and said: "The front is convex and the back is upturned, it will give birth and raise, and it looks beautiful, so beautiful that it is like a flower, but the body is too thin and weak."

Huo Dao pulled Liang Fengjiao back to the chair and scolded: "Sister Feng, don't scare my mother-in-law ---."

"Squeak---" Liang Fengjiao squeaked, and said with a smile: "I haven't done anything yet? You will protect it", and shook his head and threatened with a word: "The Laba Festival is coming, when the time comes, open the Zhende Hall, go to the mouth of the cliff in the sky, sacrifice incense, and brand chastity and seal her can't stand it even more."

In a word, Shen Ling didn't know the reason, but Huo Dao was worried, hugged Liang Fengjiao's arm, and said, "Fourth aunt, then help her ---."

Liang Fengjiao laughed and said, "Now you know to beg me---."

"Doesn't the fourth aunt love me the most?" Huo Dao bought worriedly, but still respectfully said: "I heard that you can't get out of bed after three days of tidying up Huo Nian's mother-in-law."

Liang Fengjiao stood up strictly, slapped Huo Dao, and reprimanded: "It seems that I am committing evil--- this is the rule of the ancestors, this is the tradition of Ganquan Village, how can it be said that it is me? I just do things according to the rules."

Huo Nanzhi was interested, or he still rejected Yao Meng, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and said with a smile: "Laba Festival, you have to work more on Yao Meng, Shen Ling can't stand this in the city, you have to be merciful."

"Here we --- again" Liang Fengjiao smiled and said, "I'm a wicked person, but it's been ten years since I took over the burden from your grandmother." It's not bad this time."

At this time, Li Xiulan accompanied Li Renpu over. Liang Fengjiao got up and said with a smile: "A big banquet made me have a sore back--- who made me miserable, and I can't be idle."

looked at Shen Ling again and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I'll withdraw the egg, and you will continue to make trouble---."

However, Liang Fengjiao and Li Xiulan don't deal with each other very well, according to the first aunt, the first nephew and daughter-in-law will not have too much resentment, and they will get along very well. But no, I don't know if Li Xiulan married into Ganquan Village and was treated too hard by this Liang Fengjiao, and she still holds a grudge, or Li Xiulan doesn't look down on this aunt in her heart, and Liang Fengjiao doesn't look down on her with a high posture, not to mention that Liang Fengjiao is still in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Ganquan Village under Bai Xiaoying. There will inevitably be some conflict.

"Xiao Wu, why don't you know how to go and see your sister-in-law--- I think my sister-in-law is ugly and not welcome" Li Xiulan came up, but what came out of the scholarly house was different, one by one smiled and bowed down, respectful.

It is impossible to say that she is as beautiful as a flower, she is well-proportioned and tall, slightly rich, dressed as a companion but very particular, elegant manners, every move, walk, and talk have rules, but her temperament is very good, which makes people respectful, but they dare not be short-sighted. It is like a lotus flower, blooming in the water.

Huo Dao and her, but they are not as casual as they are with Liang Fengjiao, the two are also classmates, but they rarely communicate, there is always something separated by something, and they dare not get close.

Naturally, he got up and greeted, and introduced: "My mother-in-law Shen Ling ---."

Shen Ling pinched his fingers and bowed his waist and said, "Sister-in-law is so ---."

Or Shen Ling's demeanor and talk, or her origin made Li Xiulan feel close, greeted and supported, and looked at it slightly: "Natural carving, clear water out of hibiscus--- clever smile!

"Sister-in-law has won the award" Shen Ling gently pulled hands with her, and said with praise: "You are: demure is like a flower shining on water, and your actions are like the wind supporting the willows--."

"Are you sour or not--- you can't stop boasting" Huo Nanzhi doesn't have those crepe things, beauty is beauty, and if it's not beautiful, it's not beautiful.

"Hee-hee--- Sister Nanzhi is also very beautiful, looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color," Shen Ling praised.

Huo Nanzhi was so excited that he was silent, touched his face carefully and chuckled: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Sitting down with each other, Shen Ling was worried and asked, "Laba Festival, isn't it just a sacrifice to the ancestors, as if it was terrifying---

Huo Nanzhi pointed at Li Xiulan and said, "Sister-in-law, you know better than me--- you let your sister-in-law talk to you."

To say Laba, for ordinary people is a traditional festival to worship ancestors, but for Ganquan Village, it is a major sacrificial festival, especially for women who have just married into the village, only every year Laba Festival on the virgin incense, after worshipping the ancestors is really married into Ganquan Village.

Three days before the beginning of the Laba Festival, all the women of Ganquanzhai have to fast for three days, the dawn of the day, eat the bowl of Laba porridge specially made, unify the white clothes and add the body, then under the leadership of the ancestor Bai Xiaoying, the two sides of the ladder are lined up in formation, until the sacrificial platform at the mouth of the cliff.

Bai Xiaoying watched the ceremony, Liang Fengjiao presided over various sacrificial activities, and the deacon village witch sacrificed to the ancestors. In the early morning, the red sun rises, the big gong opens the way, the trumpet sounds, and the drum beats for music, which is a day-long sacrifice.

The patriarch of the whole village led the villagers of the whole village to worship on incense and pray to the ancestors for protection. But it is a tradition, when a pillar of incense is burned, most of them will retreat from the mouth of the cliff, and then the women of the whole village will sacrifice. It is another pillar that has been burned is the new Ganzhai woman.

There are three difficulties for the bride, one is that when the trumpet sounds, the newlyweds will hold high incense in their hands, steadily go up from the Joan of Arc Hall to the mouth of the cliff, kneel on the ground, and wait for all the sacrifices to be completed. It is not difficult to add sesame oil, the difficulty lies in adding sesame oil to the oil lamp that is erected in the sky lantern stand suspended on the cliff, the bottom is the abyss, the upper is the cold wind, and the body will be broken if you are not careful, the intention is to warn the bride, she has become a wife, and there ---is no chance to return to the water poured out, so you must have the courage to undertake all the affairs of the husband's godson and her husband's family, and the burden is on the body, and loyalty is the same;

For all brides, this day is completely in the hands of Liang Fengjiao, the correctness of the posture of holding high incense is all up to Liang Fengjiao's mood, in order to avoid the hot incense ash that falls, the slightest deviation will suffer from her reprimand, and the panic and slowness when adding incense is also urged and reprimanded by her, and the speed and depth of the branding technique are even more palms in her hands, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture from body to soul, but no one dares to have any complaints. It was even when Liang Feng and Liang Liwei took care of the brides one by one, and it would be easy for the management of the village to be summoned in the future.
