Young rich peasants

The empty house is by the field, basically a house counts as a room, because it is too small.It doesn't take too much trouble to arrange things, and it can be done in a few days with someone's help.They moved in very quickly, and at the beginning there will be some discomfort, but they have experienced more difficult days, and now it is not a big deal.

All that should be dug and can be dug in the old house has been cleared out, and the new house cannot be built for a while.

Things in the fields on the mountain are still in order, watching the rice seedlings pull green in the fields, the shock of undecided dates finally subsided slowly.The two geese in the family regained their spirits and ate weeds by the edge of the field. Little Ayue smiled happily watching them.The most ordinary scene, after such a small calamity, is extremely precious.People who have always been smooth sailing are prone to numbness, feel numb to happiness and joy, and people who always stand on the top of the mountain tend to forget the magnificence of the high place; if disasters and valleys are inevitable, then Zaozi believes that this is a special gift from God to mortals, teach People know how to cherish and learn to be grateful.

The seventh day of July came at this time.Qixi Festival is the annual reunion day of the legendary Cowherd and Zhijun, and it is also the Qiqiao Festival. According to folklore, if you send melons and fruit needles as sacrifices on this day, you can ask Zhijun and his brothers for good craftsmanship.Gaoliang County itself does not celebrate this festival very much, but this year it made an exception and held it grandly.

Zaozi felt that this was a good opportunity to change Mei Xiaopai's mood, so she told Lei Shounuo that she wanted to go.Lei Shounuo had the same idea as Zaozi, his only concern was that this Qixi Qiqiao Festival, like the Mid-Autumn Festival, started at night for sacrifices and some important activities. During the day, it was at most a big market, buying and selling things, and watching some juggling.If Daddy Zaozi was going, he would definitely have to spend the night.

Zaozi said, "Would you like to go with us?" Now that everything is being supervised step by step, he, Brother Lei, has been tired for so long, so he should relax a bit.

Lei Shounuo thought about it and agreed.

Xilang is the one who loves excitement the most, and this time he also found time to go with Zaozi.

On the carriage, Xi Lang opened up the chatter box, "Do you know why it takes more than half this time?" He looked like he was coming to ask me.

Zaozi could not help but follow his words and asked, "Brother Liuxi, tell us."

Xilang rolled up his sleeves, crossed his legs and started talking enthusiastically, "This is about to talk about the Tiangou Eclipse. The old man was right when he said that the Heavenly Dog Eclipse will cause disasters. On that night, the Empress Dowager in the palace She is seriously ill! The empress dowager's body is inherently weak, and she was bedridden two months ago, but it got worse on that day, and she almost couldn't save her. "

Zaozi was amazed in his heart, it turned out that not only their family suffered, but even the palace had a big incident.

Xilang went on to say: "The first misfortune is that the empress dowager was frightened by the tengu, and catastrophe is imminent; the first joy is that the person who is destined to marry the prince has appeared in the sky. Although the star was born before, it has not yet become clear, and now it has just emerged; The fate of the first two members of the royal family is very mysterious. First of all, Qixi Festival must be celebrated all over the world. The imperial decree is sent to every county, town and village, just for those who are looking for the prince’s marriage. This joyful gathering of qi will definitely lead to a long life, and the prince's marriage will be smooth and happy in the future, but there is a fork in the fate. If the person who is married cannot be found, the empress dowager will not have much time. Even if it hits, there will be a death calamity."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Xi Lang took a sip of the water in the bamboo tube and wiped off the water stains. He was so proud that the three people in the carriage were stunned.If the head of the Mei family hadn't been sitting outside the car looking at the scenery, he would have reacted in the same way, he was full of confidence.

Mei Xiaodi woke up from his own emotions, and was completely attracted by this mysterious and mysterious divination. He waited for a while before saying: "The entire Chen Kingdom has a population of more than ten million. It's too difficult to find someone. Do you have any characteristics?" Can it be used as a proof?"

Xi Lang said: "It is said that there is, but it is not known to ordinary people like us. If the villains find out, our future queen of Chen Kingdom will be in danger."

Zaozi still doesn't know what the royal family in this world is like. What he has learned with his heart is the common sense and knowledge that ordinary people can use.But that was a distant matter that had nothing to do with them, and it made no difference whether they knew it or not.

After chatting for a while, Xi Lang said that he was tired and leaned on the carriage to recharge his batteries.Mei Xiaopai came to his senses, and he didn't think about it for too long. Erlang held the dates, the money that Mei Xiaopai brought out this time, and some purses embroidered before, and soon recovered from these gossips. He had to concentrate on Guard these possessions.Zaozi is playing with little Ah Yue.Little Ayue always holds a goose feather in her hand, except for sleeping and bathing.It is the same now, waving the feather to sweep Zaozi's nose, Zaozi avoids him and sends the goose feather to his nose, scratching himself to sneeze.Jujube fought against the goose feathers all the way.

When we arrived at the county seat, we heard noises before getting out of the car. The curtains of the car were lifted, and the scene in front of us could only be described as a sea of ​​people.It is indeed a celebration to be held in the palace, and the level of excitement is not comparable to other festivals.

The eaves of all the houses are dotted with flowers and ribbons; both sides of the street are full of large and small stalls, those who lay mats on the spot, those who build wooden tables by themselves, and those who pick wooden boxes to place... even some shops selling drinks and food A few tables are set up to sell festive things.The middle of the road was crowded by young and old people, and the difference between the city people and the village people could be seen from the clothes, but the joy on everyone's face was the same.

Maybe it's because there are so many things like spices, powder, sachets, etc., there is a faint fragrance on the street, which makes people feel more happy

The driver of the carriage was a hired boy, and he said, "Boss Lei, you guys, the carriage cannot pass."

Lei Shounuo, who had been sitting in front of the car looking at the road and the scenery, took out dozens of pennies and said, "Buy some wine and go back to eat, and you will wait for us here at half past tomorrow."

The boy happily took the reward and left, and the four joined the crowd.Little Ah Yue was carried face forward on Zaozi's chest, her eyes sparkling.There are so many people, so many novelty things, and so many delicious and colorful things, all of which he has never seen before.

Zaozi protects his son and walks behind Xilang, with Lei Shounuo Erlang and Mei Xiaodie beside him.

When it comes to the county seat, Xilang is the most familiar person.He said: "Since it's a celebration, there must be something interesting, let's find it."

Walking to the center of the county town, there was really a bamboo platform like a arena on the open space opposite the gate of the county government office, surrounded by brothers. Xilang stood on the root of the tree and looked at it for a few times, then turned to Zaozi and the others and said: Catching stones in a competition!"

There were too many people in front, Lei Shounuo hugged Zaozi and Ayue, not allowing him to go any further.Jujubes are actually not a must, I heard Xilang chattering to them, who caught ten more, took No.1, and the government rewarded them with two bucks, whoever was in a hurry to go up and almost fell... That's right. The voice is full of emotion, even if you can't get in, you seem to be able to see the grand occasion on the stage.

Little Ah Yue looked at it happily, and one accidentally dropped her goose feather, and called "Daddy, Mao Mao", but the place was too noisy, and no one noticed.He jumped up and down vigorously, pulling his hands around, somehow he caught his little scarf, and with a little force, the soft silk cloth fell with the wind.It was just such a flutter that touched Zaozi's hand.

Zaozi hurriedly covered little Ah Yue's birthmark, bent down to pick up the small scarf and goose feathers.

Sooner or later, several men with swords happened to pass by them, one of them looked back, his eyes swept over Zaozi Xilang's neck, and silently followed his companion.

Lei Shounuo picked up Zaozi, took the silk scarf and patted it clean, tied it back around little Ah Yue's neck, pinched his little face, "Naughty!"

Little Ah Yue thought his father was playing with him, grabbed the goose feathers, and went straight to his father's nostrils.

After leaving the stage, the group moved to the tea house and had lunch in the private room on the second floor.At this time, the other boxes were already full, and this one was vacated because of the friendship between the restaurant owner and Lei Shounuo.

No one wants to leave after a full meal. There are too many people, and they feel exhausted after walking a short distance.They simply continued to sip tea and eat snacks, waiting for the evening program.

As night falls and the moon rises, some people go home, and there are a lot of vacant places on the street. There are more activities at night than during the day. According to Xi Lang's inquiries, the government found a few famous restaurants and teahouses in the county, and borrowed their places. Organize activities, for example, the teahouse where they are now has a competition for Jinzhendu people.Brothers have to thread needles against the shadow of the lamp. Those who pass through seven needles in one go will be considered "smart", and those who fail to pass through will lose "smart". .Zaozi stood on the stairs on the second floor with everyone and looked down, but he could see it more clearly than the people crowded below.

He also wanted to try it, but it was a pity that only unmarried brothers could participate.Lei Shounuo saw it, and suddenly had an idea, went downstairs to find the shopkeeper, bought ten needles and a ball of thread, and took Zaozi back to the box.

Zaozi asked: "Brother Lei, what are you going to do?"

Lei Shounuo said: "They have their rules, and we have our own methods. We also have a match in our own room." Mei Xiaodi and Xi Lang who followed back were happy to agree, and even Erlang, who was silent, whispered The ground should.

Lei Shounuo immediately became interested, "The reward is ten taels of silver!" His family won't lose if they get it, but it's even better to let Xi Lang get it, and reward him for saving their family when the sand and mud poured down.A Tang is a stubborn person, no matter what he refuses to accept his repayment, now in the competition, he has nothing to say about winning or losing.

Erlang said, "I'm going to find some more lamps..."

"No need." Mei Xiaodi smiled, "The moonlight is just right, so why bother to waste lamp oil and fire wax, I heard that some places are threading needles against the moonlight, isn't it more suitable for the occasion? Come, let me try first."

Zaozi said: "How many times can we try alone? Brother Lei."

Lei Shounuo raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Several times are fine, the first time you get it right, you will be rewarded, and there will be no more after that." He leaned into Zaozi's ear and said, "Save some for your husband." Zaozi pulled She touched his ear, but smiled silently.

Mei Xiaopai picked out seven needles out of ten and went to the window, facing the moonlight and began to feed the thread.Everyone couldn't help but gather together, staring at the thin thread slowly passing through the first hole.Mei Xiaodi suddenly said: "The ancients said that it is easy to thread a needle into the moon, but it is difficult to complete the thread in the wind, so it makes sense." His hand trembled slightly, and the thread deviated.

Zaozi stretched out his hand to feel it, and sure enough, there was a breeze.

Lei Shounuo leaned against the table, hugged his son in one hand and sat on his lap, and took a high-necked jug with the other to drink with his mouth, and said, "You guys, you need to work harder." Zaozi looked back With a glance, he thought: Brother Lei thinks he is watching a play?

Several people took turns to fight, and in the end only Zaozi got a coincidence.Zaozi happily ran over and stretched out his palm to Lei Shounuo, "Boss, you mean what you say."

Lei Shounuo patted it lightly, "Okay, I'll take it home."

Mei Xiaopai picked up little Ayue, "My eyes are not as good as before, so let the younger generations play. Little Ayue, you, a drinker, can't take care of children."

So only Zaozi Xilang and Erlang were left to go through the needle on the moon. If Zaozi passed, we just waited for Xilang and Erlang to get it once.At any rate, Xilang had also done needlework, and after a lot of effort, he finally succeeded. He was so happy that he jumped three feet high on the spot.Erlang also got it later, and it was rare for him to smile.

Lei Shounuo had expected that the seven needles would not trouble these guys, so he said, "I asked for three more needles, how many of you will try again?"

The difficulty suddenly increased, and the three of them worked hard.In the end, only the jujube was finished, and the other two stopped before the seven needles.

Everyone enjoyed themselves, followed Lei Shounuo to the inn and rested.
