Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 434 Begging for Skillful Festival ([-])

The seventh day of July is the Qiqiao Festival.

The Qiqiao Festival is also called the Girl's Day. Early in the morning, all the daughters-in-law and maids inside and outside the Miao Mansion were extremely excited.

Miao Douer was also happy. Early in the morning, he followed Xiao Dumplings and placed fresh melons and fruits in the yard, and enshrined the Skillful Empress, and then followed the carriage to Decui Tower.

An Qi Heben persuaded Miao Douer to rest at home this day, Miao Douer thought about it, and simply imitated the March [-]th Women's Day in her previous life, giving half a day off to the female family members in Miao's mansion.

As soon as news of the holiday came out, all the little girls in the Miao Mansion were overjoyed, and in the afternoon they began to mutter together, talking about going to pay homage to Mistress Qiaoshou in the evening.

On the evening of the seventh day of July, there is a night party as usual, and the curfew will be later this night.How many love stories happened this night.

At noon, after lunch, Miao Douer and Xiao Jiaozi went back home in a carriage.In the mansion, Shui Ya and Chun Hua are busy arranging everything needed for evening activities.

"In the south of us, the incense burner is burned at night during the Qiqiao Festival, and then "Saiqiao" is placed under the incense burner." Shui Ya arranged the melons and fruits while chatting with Chunhua.

Chunhua is simple, and when she smiles, she looks even more carefree: "You girls in the south are skillful, and we are also 'saiqiao' here, but I have always lost in urine since I was a child. I must not be as good as you. I will take care of eating at night."

When Miao Douer stepped into the yard, he happened to hear these words.She smiled slightly and interjected: "That's not possible. Tonight everyone will have a competition. After the competition is over, let's go to the street to watch the fireworks."

The courtyard became more lively for a while.

Hearing what Miao Douer said, Xiao Jiaozi stretched out her hand and tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, since you have said that you have to participate in the competition tonight, you must also participate!"

Miao Dou'er suddenly felt that he had dug a hole for himself to jump in: "Me? Don't you know, little dumpling? I have never learned needlework since I was a child... Even if I barely learned a little from you two years ago, it's not enough. I can roughly make some underwear, but it is difficult for me to embroider."

When Shui Ya heard this, she quickly waved her hand: "Ma'am, don't be nervous. Tonight, Saiqiao is just more about threading needles, not necessarily about embroidery."

"Yeah, if it's really more than embroidery, how can there be time to watch the fireworks!"

Miao Douer was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree to play with him at night.

During these days, the men in Miao's mansion lost their status one by one, and they were ordered to do this and that by the maids, and they had no complaints.

Which man doesn't have a girl in his heart?They were still counting on to confess their love tonight!
The men were instructed to move the incense burner, wash the melons and fruits, and moved the unused lamps and tripods from around the Miao Mansion.

　 As the sun was about to set, the lamps and incense burners around the courtyard were lit one by one.The lights were brightly lit, making the courtyard as bright as day.According to Shui Ya, what was burning in the censer was a delicate fragrance.

"Shuiya, where did you buy this fragrance? It smells so good!" Chunhua wrinkled her nose and asked with a smile after sniffing for a long time.

There is a scent of ripe melons and fruits in this aroma, as well as a hint of sweetness, which makes people feel comfortable when smelling it.

"Isn't it from the gouache shop in the town? The lady asked me to buy it yesterday. I saw that this incense was specially sold at the Qiqiao Festival, so I bought it and tried it. It smells good."

Miao Dou'er also thought it smelled good. She looked at the small courtyard illuminated by the lamps like daylight, and felt peaceful and joyful.
