The contradiction between Jiao'er and Wei Heng came to an end for the time being, and several people came out of the valley and drove directly to Li's house.
The panic caused by the recent homicides in Xiaoxian seems to have passed, and the people have begun to work on their own, and there is no sense of regret for the lives of those who died under Gu Ji, even the most adept at thinking. I still feel that these dead people are retribution for evil, and cause and effect are reincarnated. Because of such a good attitude, what Qi Liu and his group saw most along the way was the hustle and bustle of the crowds, carrying large bags and small bags, whether they were happy or anxious on their faces.
The various forms of sentient beings seem to be concentrated on this congested street with no end in sight.
"Thank you, a few people also come here specially."
Li Kuan, who greeted a few people in Qi Qiu, took them to the Xiaohua Hall to sit down, and asked the little servants to serve tea and snacks to entertain them.
"It's not annoying, the Bone Ji's matter has been resolved, and a few of us planned to leave. We are here this time for the purpose of separate arrests."
Qi Qi said politely and politely. Li Kuan, who had just sat down, twisted his serious eyebrows and his eyes became deeper.
After a long silence, the man spoke.
"As soon as the county magistrate Li died, the post of county magistrate in the middle of the county was vacant, and the royal capital had just issued an order to temporarily take the post of county magistrate until a suitable official was selected."
"Isn't this very good, you are still very prestigious among the people, and management skills are good."
Wei Heng said that he didn't know why Li Kuan had the power of the county magistrate but was so upset.
"Yes, Li Kuan will naturally not fail the people's trust, nor the emperor's hope. It's just that a few people left in such a hurry, and I have no chance to thank a few of them about Gu Ji."
Li Takuya hesitated and worried that the few people left were too anxious to leave him without a chance to thank them for their help.
"That's not easy. On the seventh day of July is the Qiao Qiao Festival, a banquet was set up on that day to invite a few people to have a drink, and they would leave after walking around the Queqiao!"
A dignified and beautiful woman came from outside the Xiaohua Hall, holding a square food box in her hand, with apricot eyes and lips, and a kind smile at the corner of her mouth.
"master,"
The beautiful lady flexed her body towards Li arrester, then nodded to the people sitting there, and put the square plate in her hand on the small table.
"This is the third day of the middle school, and it is only four days away from the Qiqiao Festival. At this time, the excitement in the county is no less than the Spring Festival. If several people are not in a hurry, they will stay in the Fuzhong for a few days. late."
Mrs. Li opened the snacks she brought, and handed them to several people to taste one by one.
"Here, this is the rice noodles that have just been fried, and there are some tricks. If you don't dislike it, you can taste it."
"Thank you Mrs. Li for the hospitality, it's not polite to be curled up."
When he brought something to his mouth, Qi Niaoyu would naturally not refuse, and he generously grabbed a handful of rice noodles and Qiaosuo in the palm of his hand and it became normal.
Both of these are festive cakes that can only be found on the Qiqiao Festival, and you can't eat them during the day, and they are only available in Yuji Country. Jiangmi noodles are made of glutinous rice noodles and soybean flour. The two flours are steamed and pounded in a stone mortar. After drying, they are fried with scented oil, and they are served with syrup and served with plum blossom, pine flower, and sesame bean paste. The flavors are various. Qiaoguo is a bit simpler, with sesame and wheat flour as the main ingredients. It tastes sweet and has a lot of patterns. There are rabbits and plums, as well as seasonal embroidery patterns, which are very fresh.
Take a bite of the glutinous rice noodles, and the cold scent of plum blossoms and the sweet scent of red bean paste will flow from the tip of your nose. The syrup on the outside is soft and delicate, and it is sweet and greasy hanging on the tip of your tongue, but the inside is very crunchy, mixed with glutinous rice and soy flour. The aroma, churned together, melted between the teeth.
"Well, it's delicious."
Such an endless taste made Qi curl happy and squinted his eyes. The girl then twisted up a lotus-like fruit, which is cold and has a strong sesame aroma, which is less sweet than the previous rice noodles, but It melts in the mouth, fresh and pleasant.
The others who had tasted the cakes also nodded in agreement. Li Kuan had eaten several rice noodles a long time ago and laughed with satisfaction and pride.
"My wife's favorite thing is to ponder these dim sums. The madam's Jiang Mi Tiao are all famous in the county, haha!"
"Master, don't talk about it, it's the one who eats you. You can't stop your mouth with so much food."
Mrs. Li gave Bai Li a wide glance, but her tone was not blaming, and she was a little embarrassed.
"The cakes and tea for the Qiqiao Festival are all being prepared, as well as the peach branches. Bai Ye had long asked his people to pick them back, and waited for the seventh day of the seventh lunar month to make Tiansun holy water to bathe."
"Well, these things have to trouble Madam."
"That's all."
Mrs. Li smiled and looked forward to the upcoming Qiqiao Festival.
"This Qiao Qiao Festival is the most favorite festival for women. Whether it is a little girl, a married woman or an old woman who is a grandmother, they all rejoice in this feast, and I wonder if you have ever had such a festival, now If you have the chance, let go of your heart and have a good time."
"Well, follow Mrs. Li."
Several people in Xiaohua Hall looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant.
After that, from the fourth day of the fourth day until the seventh day of the seventh day, several people stayed as guests in the Li Shuyu's mansion. As Mrs. Li said, people in the county want to buy things at this time. The streets and shops are full of people, so don’t go out. Joining in the fun, so as not to get caught in the heat, Qi Qiu patiently stayed honestly, but on the way, the tailor made in the county came a few times and gave Qi Qiu and the others some clothes that they would use for the body magpie bridge.
Waiting for the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the girl couldn't wait any longer and got up early.
But the maid-in-law and the young man in the Li Shouyi’s mansion was already busy. The back kitchen had just boiled the water, and Mrs. Li sent someone to bring the burned peach branches and cypress leaf water to the guest room. Several people were waiting. After getting the haircut, I took Qi Yu, Wu Yu and Jiao'er out of the girl's house and painted them nail water while the sun was bright and not dazzling.
So at this time, on the stone table of the pavilion in the mansion, Mrs. Li, Qi Niao, Wu Yu, Jiao'er, and a little Amao sat on the stone table.
"This is the nail lotion made of golden phoenix juice. You have to apply it on the seventh day of the day. Then you have to dress up and dress up. The people next to you will go to worship the Weaver Girl, ask for clever needles, and there are many etiquettes for begging for cleverness. You are foreigners, if you are If you don’t want to participate, just watch it. Today’s dinner will be earlier than usual. You can go out after eating the dumplings. The streets are full of lights and colorful, and it’s fun to stroll around."
While Mrs. Li painted her nails carefully on several people, she talked about what to do, and the origin of the story.
"Also, when the time comes, the girls will go to Yiqiao to pay a respect, or buy a few small clay puppets. No matter how crazy the Qiao Festival is, no one will say to you. Okay, paint it well Now, the back chef is steaming dim sum if you want to go and see it. I have detained you these few days, and I feel bored even thinking about it."
Mrs. Li gently breathed in the nails that Qi Niao had just painted.
Look at the little Amao who smiles at yourself,
"Amao will be taken by you for a while. After dinner, the master and I will take him out to play."
After that, put down the small brush for dyeing nails, gave Amao a look that would make him behave, and the maid behind him helped him back. Because Mrs. Li is already weak, she has been worrying about begging for clever things. Everyday It is better to take medicine and tonic.
"Green Peach, are all the back chefs ready?"
"Madam, it's all well, it's just that Green Peach has told you how many times, don't work, don't work, when the time comes, I will be tired and sick, the master feels distressed, and we still suffer as slaves."
Said the maid supporting Mrs. Li.
"Okay, okay, the Qiqiao Festival is only once a year, and I have taken pains to prepare for what the master will not say."
Mrs. Li shook her head to defend, rubbing her swollen temples, and the green peach frowning on the side said again.
"Lvtao naturally knows that Madam loves begging for coincidences most when she is in her boudoir. When I didn't prepare in advance, I would go to Yiqiao to ask for marriage and beg for a man in the evening. Later, I really asked my wife for it. Master arrester, a good man!"
The maid was talking witty words, and a pink cloud flew up on Madam Li
"Don't say anything, look at your lips..."
The voices of the master and servant gradually faded away and disappeared into the small garden. Qi Ling in the pavilion saw that Mrs. Li's figure had hidden behind the tree, and then he retracted his gaze and looked at Ah Mao for a while before speaking.
"Amao, do you like your little aunt?"
The little boy who sat on the bench in the arbor, heard Qi Ling ask this question, and answered without thinking about it.
"I like it, my aunt is just like my mother!"
"okay."
The girl nodded. Since Amao received such good care in Li's mansion, there is no need to worry about him being sad and lonely without his parents.
"Wu Yu, did you bring Dongzhu?"
Qi Qi asked, Wu Yu immediately understood and nodded.
"Yes, it's still made into jewelry."
"Then pack it up and send it to Mrs. Li, even as a thank you for living in the mansion these few days."
He would definitely not accept the gift to the stubborn person Li Kuan, but he would not refuse to give him a set of jewelry for his most concerned wife. The set of Dongzhu jewellery mentioned by Qi Qiuhuo happened to be a bracelet and a single pendant. It was concise and magnificent, and it was perfect for the frail Mrs.
"Well, Wu Yu will go now."
When the woman finished answering, she got up and went to work, watching Wu Yu walk away, Qi Niaoyu suddenly laughed out loud.
"I'm used to seeing Wu Yu being so quiet on weekdays, but applying nail polish today feels very rare."
The curled volume was neither light nor heavy, but it was just enough for Wu Yu to hear. Wu Yu, who was walking away, had a barely noticeable stagnation, and soon returned to normal and left.
"Miss Curly, Qi Qiaohui's clothes are here."
As soon as Wu Yu left, there was a pink-robed maid talking outside the pavilion.
"Okay, I see, I'll trouble you, OK, Xiao Amao and Jiao'er, let's take a look at our new clothes together?"
Qi Yu smiled, stretched out his hand and took the two children one by one, and then followed the maid who led the way away from the pavilion.
