During the Qiqiao Festival, every household has a grand and joyful atmosphere. Luo Shi got up early in the morning and led Xiaoxing to work at home, steaming cakes, lighting incense, and worshiping gods.

The highlight of the Qiqiao Festival is at night. The weather is clear during the day, and I believe that the moon will be bright and the stars will be sparse at night.

Tian Minyan is currently the only daughter of the Tian family, and her new clothes have already been prepared, a light green double-breasted jacket, a goose yellow pleated skirt, a light green belt around her waist, and two palace sash long down to her feet, Walking is extremely elegant.She is still combing the bun, fastened with two bead flowers that she made herself. The bead flowers are round and can cover the whole bun, so that no matter from the front or the back, the bead flowers can be seen.

Although Xiao Xing is a servant, but because he is young and obedient, Luo Shi also loves her very much. Tian Minyan gave Luo Shi a half-new peach red dress to cut according to Xiao Xing's figure, and also dressed up.

Time flew by quickly, before the sky was completely dark, the moon had been hung up early, and when it was dark, Tian Minyan and the others had eaten, and the moonlight had already brightened, and it was cold and scattered all over the ground.

According to the customs of Qingping County, in the half month before the Qiqiao Festival, some rice, wheat grains, mung beans, etc. will be soaked in porcelain bowls to germinate them. When the sprouts grow to more than two inches long, they will be used to worship gods. "Worship Xianhe" and "Worship God Vegetables".As the Qixi Festival approaches, it gets even busier. Skillful people are invited to make a magpie bridge with bamboo strip paper and make all kinds of exquisite handicrafts.On the night of the Qixi Festival, a table for the Eight Immortals will be set up to confess, and an embroidery table will be tied, and all kinds of wonderful flower and fruit products and female reds will be placed on it to worship.

Daxian's daughters' skill is to pierce pinholes against the shadow of the moon under the moon. If they can pierce seven pinholes with colored thread in one breath, they are called skillful, and if they can't, they are called losers.

Luo Shi set up a table for worship in the yard, on which there were melons and fruits to eat, many paper products and other exquisite things. He worshiped the moon three times and murmured congratulations. Tian Minyan listened attentively. It's nothing more than making a wish to pray for the happiness and safety of my family, my daughter's ingenuity, and a good husband in the future.

Xiao Wu also heard it, winked and stuck out her tongue at Tian Minyan, so ashamed that she wanted to chase him and beat him.

"Ninny." Seeing her running around the yard in a skirt, Luo Shi called out reproachfully, and beckoned, "Come and say goodbye to Seventh Sister, and bless your ingenuity and your future success."

Tian Minrui and Xiao Wu all snickered when they heard this, even Tian Huairen smiled naively, Tian Minyan blushed with embarrassment, glared at them, went to the desk and knelt down, took Luo's incense and held it on top of his head worship up.

After Tian Minyan got up after paying respects, Luo Shi said to Xiao Xing who was beside him: "Xiao Xing, you also come to pay your respects."

"Ah? Shall I worship too?" Xiao Xing looked at Luo Shi in a daze. Cai'er envied that the second girl had a mother and a family. She could pray to the seventh sister for blessings like this. Can she do it herself now?

"Silly little star, you are also a member of our family and a girl, so of course I want to worship you." Tian Minyan sneered and poked her forehead.

Xiao Xing suddenly got hot eyes, hummed with a nasal voice, took Luo's incense, and bowed to the moon. The first thing she asked was that the family was safe and happy, because they were all good people, and then she made a wish for herself .

The two girls had already bowed, and Luo Shi asked Tian Minrui and the others to bow, saying: "You are not girls, but you still have to bow, and let Seventh Sister look down on the ingenious sister for you."

Xiao Wu was very ignorant, but Tian Minrui blushed, Tian Minyan giggled, and shaved the two of them with his fingers, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, making you laugh at me just now.

The whole family had paid homage to Seventh Sister, Tian Minyan and the others started begging for cleverness, probably because she didn't like to do needlework, Tian Minyan held the needlework, and it was very difficult for Tian Minyan to thread through two needles.As for Xiao Xing, she is extremely dexterous, and her stitches are extremely fine when doing needlework on weekdays. She passed seven needles in one breath, which was a neat trick.

"It's better for our little star to be more skillful." Luo Shi praised Xiaoxing, then poked Tian Minyan's forehead and said: "You lazy girl, start learning how to be a needlework girl tomorrow, or your in-laws will hate you in the future." is you."

"Mother..." Tian Minyan stomped her feet with a flushed face, that coquettish, shy and annoyed look made everyone smile.

After paying homage to the moon and welcoming the fairy queen, Tian Minyan and Xiaoxing gave each other clever gifts, then ordered the long-term worker Zhou Gui to look after the house, and let Xie Chengzhong drive an ox cart to follow them to the town.

The town is very lively, with lights and festoons everywhere, and some shops are already full of people, playing various begging games.

Tian Minyan and the others first arrived at Wenxiangju, parked the ox cart there, greeted each other with shopkeeper Qin, and then met to go shopping in the street together, as a coincidence.

Tian Minrui didn't go with Tian Minyan and the others because he made an appointment to visit the town with Fang Yu and a few of his better classmates.Before leaving, Luo Shiqian told Wan to be careful and safe, Tian Minyan also gave him a few words, and stuffed him with a purse containing one tael, so that he would know where to report anything, Tian Minrui agreed and left his family to go first up.

"I really can't help my mother." Looking at the back of his son going away, Luo Shi smiled wryly at Shopkeeper Qin.

"When the children grow up, they will have their own ideas. I think Brother Rui is also sensible and measured. You should learn to let him go." Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile.

In fact, she felt that Tian Minrui was a little different today, more cheerful, generous and sensible than before, and less shy and timid than before.

Roche sighed and said that's the only way to go.

Wenxiangju also has a small game show, and they will give away some picks. Shopkeeper Qin couldn't leave for a while, so he asked Tian Minyan and the others to go first, and she would catch up later.

Tian Minyan and the others also knew that the business was important, so they nodded in agreement. Therefore, the potbellied Luo Shi was protected by Tian Huairen, Xiao Wu was led by Xie Chengzhong, and Tian Minyan and Xiao Xing walked arm in arm to the river in a hurry .

There are many pedestrians on the street, and the girls are all dressed up in the most beautiful dresses and new jewelry, talking loudly or playing begging games in the shop, laughing and laughing, it is very lively.

There are even more people when they walk to the river, and the Yangliu River on both sides is almost full of people. On the river, lotus lanterns of different colors flow along the water, shadowy and beautiful.

"Mother, let's light up the lights too." Tian Minyan looked at Luo Shi and smiled.

Luo Shi nodded, and now their family is doing well. These small lamps were folded by the nearby villagers and peddlers. You can have one for three renminbi, and you can afford it, so he said, "You children, go and put it away."

Xiao Wu cheered, and immediately walked towards the nearest old lady peddler, knelt down to choose the lotus lantern he liked.

The old woman and her husband came out to set up a stall together, folded flowers and sold them at the same time. The folded flowers were very beautiful. Tian Minyan bought one for everyone at once, and put it on the riverside with his wishes.

"Chengzhong, watch them order." Luo asked Xie Chengzhong to take them with him, and ordered them carefully.

"Understood, third wife."

There is a hydrophilic platform under the stairs where the river lanterns are placed. There are many people, and they are all putting the lanterns. In order to prevent accidents, there are also guards guarding them.

Tian Minyan and the others carefully put their own river lanterns into the water, and watched the little lantern with their own wishes drifting away without sinking, so they all smiled.

After walking ashore and walking two steps among the crowd, Tian Minyan was stopped by a pleasantly surprised voice.

"Yan'er, is it really you? I thought I was wrong."

The person who came was none other than Liu Ruyu and Liu Yeshi and their group.

The two families quickly greeted each other, seeing more and more people around them, Liu Ye proposed to sit in Zhenjiang Tower for a while, their Liu family had a private room on it, and there would be fireworks for a while, Tian Minyan and the others were happy agree.

There are also begging games in Zhenjiang Tower, there are girls' skillful hand competitions, there are also couplets and lantern riddles for talented scholars, each of which is different.

Tian Minyan and the other children were full of energy, and they didn't feel tired after walking for a long time. They all wanted to guess the lantern riddles and idioms.

"Slippery, bright, eyes on the buttocks, guess something." Tian Minyan caught a riddle and read it out with a smile.

Xiao Wu and Liu Ruyu were still tilting their heads and thinking hard, but Xiao Xing had already guessed it: "I know, it's a needle."

Xiao Er quickly said that it was right, and the picking head he sent out was a small bag of embroidery needles, Xiao Wu and Liu Ruyu were very annoyed, Tian Minyan grabbed another one.

"Bai Ruyu, wearing a yellow robe, only a little bigger, all treasures among treasures."

"I know this, it's millet." Xiao Wu guessed it out quickly, and got a bag of candies, which he happily shared with Liu Ye and the others.

"This Zigan must know, it's an idiom, listen." Tian Minyan unfolded the note in his hand, and read aloud: "Hold the needle in one hand, and the thread in the other."

Liu Ruyu pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "Is it hopeless?"

"Actually, I think threading a needle is more appropriate." Tian Minyan asked Xiaoer to open up a mystery, and she really wanted to see through, so she said depressedly.

"Haha, sister, you are not as good as Ruyu's elder brother." Xiao Wu happily ate a handful of candies, laughed and made fun of him, and Tian Minrui was so angry that he chased him to beat him.

Liu Ruyu smiled when she saw it, and took the picking head from Xiao Er. It was a roll of multicolored silk thread. He squeezed it, and when Tian Minyan stopped, he handed the roll of thread to her: "Yan'er, this colorful thread I'll give you the thread, actually, I think the answer you said is a little bit right."

There was a roll of thread lying in the boy's white and tender palm, and he handed it to the bright girl opposite. The private room suddenly became quiet, and Tian Minyan was a little embarrassed. Feeling the gazes around him, he let out a loud voice: "You really should give it to me. It should be threaded with a needle, how simple it is." Then he took it, stuffed it into Xiaoxing's arms and said, "Xiaoxing, I will keep it for the girl, and I will embroider tomorrow."

Liu Ruyu laughed, and at this moment, there was a bang in the sky, and gorgeous fireworks suddenly appeared in the air, shadows were reflected on the faces of the boy and the girl, very gorgeous.

Seeing this scene, in the eyes of a man leaning on the balcony in the private room next door, he clicked his tongue and said in a somewhat unpleasant way: "Guan Yang, why do I suddenly feel that I am getting old!"
