096 Dragon Boat Festival Durian Blooms Suddenly Blooming
Mei Lin rested for the first time.
The pistils and the pomegranates are blooming, competing for the season.
The horned millet is covered with gold, and the cattails are cut with jade. This is the place where the feast is arranged.
The Dragon Boat Festival comes in a blink of an eye, and the days seem to slip away secretly.
Ning Yujin rarely got up early on this day, and pulled 108 along to do a set of aerobics with her, feeling physically and mentally comfortable.
Outside the small courtyard, a few pomegranate trees were in bloom. Before I noticed, the trees were covered with orange and red flowers.
The flowering branches stretched out from outside the wall into the yard, with green leaves, red stamens, and blue bricks and red tiles. Ning Yujin couldn't help but burst into poetry: "Ah, the garden wall can't stop it, but a branch of pomegranate flowers enters the wall."
Come, ah, come into the wall!"
Being a battle-hardened man, 108 calmly turned around and floated away, pretending not to recognize her.
As the only two maids in the courtyard, Xiangyue and Xiangqiao were very busy today.
We should be busy making human-shaped mugwort figures made of calamus, moxa leaves, durian flowers, garlic and dragon boat flowers at the door to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil, and we should be busy decorating everything inside the house.
I have to be busy running a small stove to make rice dumplings and cook bath orchid soup. I have to be busy going to Aunt Zhao to get the festival rules for each courtyard.
As for why it was collected from Aunt Zhao, it was naturally because the eldest lady was ill and all matters related to the Dragon Boat Festival could only be left to Aunt Zhao to take care of.
Ning Yujin was shocked at first as the eldest lady delegated her power without hesitation this time.
A woman who clings to her power as if it were her life can actually lower her body to this level. This requires so much determination and how much ideological work Ning Yuyan has to do.
However, if you are willing to give up, you will not be able to let the child catch the wolf, and you will not be able to fish with the long line. If the eldest lady had been willing to make a big move earlier, she would not have allowed Aunt Zhao to be so arrogant in Quan Ningbo Mansion for so many years.
But since they didn't involve her this time, she consciously didn't get involved.
Isn't it more interesting to spend a good Dragon Boat Festival with your loved ones than fighting and scheming?
but……
"Xiangyue, I'm not a child anymore, so I don't need this sachet anymore." Ning Yujin looked at Xiangyue who was playing with the sachet seriously, but couldn't help but speak to interrupt her enthusiasm.
Xiangyue grasped the key point this time and immediately retorted: "When it comes to getting married, you say you are still young and not in a hurry. When it comes to this, you say you are not a child anymore and there is no need to wear it, Miss.
What do you mean?"
"Well, what I mean is that this sachet is quite beautiful." Ning Yujin immediately said seriously and calmly.
The sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival are all specially made. They are filled with cinnabar, realgar, and fragrant herbs. They are wrapped with silk cloth on the outside and tied with colorful silk threads. They actually look pretty good.
It's so inconvenient to just hang something like this around your waist while walking.
Ning Yujin was about to take off the sachet as soon as she left Xiangyue's sight, but Xiangyue clearly saw her intention: "Miss, this sachet is to ward off evil spirits and avoid plague. You have to wear it or not.
You have to wear it, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
This posture shocked Ning Yujin. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "If you don't wear it, what are you going to do to me?"
Xiangyue said with a smile: "What else can I do? I won't cook meat for you for three to five days at worst."
Ning Yujin immediately succeeded and did not dare to make any more crooked ideas.
Xiangyue has simply caught her weakness!
She has been growing, and coupled with the physical exertion of squatting at night, she has been having sex all day and night. If Xiangyue doesn't give her meat for three to five days, she thinks she will die!
While they were making a fuss, Xiangqiao, who had gone to get something, also came back, followed by the young man who was working as a coolie.
At a glance, I saw one person walking leisurely in front, waving his hands, and the other person holding large and small bags behind with difficulty.
Ning Yujin and Xiang Yue looked at each other and sighed longly for the future of their mistress.
Xiangyue immediately went up to take the things from the hands of the mistress: "That little heartless Xiangqiao, why did you take everything? Poor kid, please give it to me quickly."
The mistress grinned with white teeth and said, "No need, Sister Xiangyue, I can afford it. Xiangqiao originally wanted to help me get it, but I didn't see much, so I took it alone."
Xiangqiao puffed out her cheeks and felt aggrieved: "That's right, I wanted to take some too, but he refused to let me go. How can it be my fault?"
"No one said you were wrong, they just said that you are in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed." Ning Yujin reached out and rubbed Xiangqiao's head and said funny.
It's a good thing that someone loves her so much. Many people can't get this kind of blessing in a few lifetimes.
Xiangqiao didn't know if she understood, but in the blink of an eye she rushed up to her with a smile on her face and took her arm affectionately: "Miss, the mistress can be used by you in the future. He will do whatever you want him to do.
He is extremely obedient."
"To call you stupid is really stupid."
Ning Yujin knocked her on the head mercilessly.
You have to take good care of your own man, how can you push it to others? Don’t cry in the future even if you can’t cry.
While the two were chatting, Xiangyue and Xiaosanzi had already moved all their things into the house.
Realgar wine to ward off evil spirits, four large boxes of snacks, mugwort bags for burning, a food box of horn palm, and a few accessories are the usual configurations in every room.
Xiangyue took a look and was immediately surprised: "Why are there so many less things than last year? And every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the eldest lady also distributes summer clothes, so why are there none here?"
Xiangqiao clenched her fists angrily at the side: "It must be those dog slaves in Aunt Zhao's room who bullied us too much and deducted the things in our room. I will go to them to settle the account!"
When Xiangyue saw Xiangqiao's posture, she quickly grabbed her and said, "Okay, don't make trouble on such a busy day. Besides, didn't Miss have people bring these things in from outside?
When did we use it when we got one?"
"But they bullied us!"
"Maybe it's not just us who are being bullied," Ning Yujin looked at the mistress who was interrupted several times when he tried to speak, and asked him, "Is this the case in other rooms?"
The mistress nodded solemnly; "The proportions in each room have been reduced, but the degree of reduction is different."
Ning Yujin said thoughtfully: "It's true: how bold a person is, how productive the land is."
Everyone looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
She chuckled and casually changed the topic: "Xiangyue, give Xiaosan some of the rice dumplings you made. The ones given out in the house are not generally unpalatable."
"That's what you have in your mouth, miss." Xiangyue rolled her eyes at Ning Yujin, and then called the mistress to the kitchen.
As soon as Xiangqiao heard that the rice dumplings were cooked and ready to be eaten, she immediately shouted, "I'll go too," and then chased after him in a hurry.
Ning Yujin smiled and shook her head, then lowered her eyes to look at the things on the table, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled again.
"I thought it was some kind of trick, but it turned out to be so simple and crude, like a bandit."
