Chapter 261 Make Chicken Soup for You
Chapter 261 Make chicken soup for you personally
The custom of begging for skill on the Chinese Valentine's Day is very popular in this dynasty.
Every household should set up an incense banquet, display fruit wine, and then burn incense to worship the Avalokitesvara and Vega, beg for skill and pray for blessings.
In addition, you need to prepare a small box, catch a spider and put it down, and then wait for the next morning to open it. If the spider webs in the box are dense, it means that you have succeeded in begging for success.
Xiao Jingcheng took a small box to Xue Mei: "For you, I'll catch it myself."
Xue Mei did not celebrate the Qiqiao Festival last year, and she didn't expect the spider to be like this in her mind.
Xiao Jingcheng said that he caught it himself, and she was a little curious and couldn't wait to open it.
Then, a spider as big as a thumb crawled out, and Xue Mei's hair exploded, and she screamed and threw the box away.
Xiao Jingcheng was puzzled: "Are you afraid of spiders?"
What's scary about this?
Xue Mei: "..."
Classmate, just your behavior of sending spiders to a girl’s house is destined to be a single dog.
Xue Mei’s words are hard to describe, and Xiao Jingcheng also explained seriously: “In the past, the spider caught by a small eunuch was rewarded.”
"Are you a little eunuch?" Xue Mei was furious.
She was shocked and wanted to seek rewards.
Spiders and cockroaches are "nothing scary, but they are really scared".
Xiao Jingcheng went to pick up the box, opened it and saw that the spider was still inside.
Thinking that he had been busy for several days to catch this spider, Xiao Jingcheng felt a little regretful.
He thought Xue Mei would be very happy.
After all, the spider webs you get when you wake up tomorrow morning must be very dense.
"Then throw it away." Xiao Jingcheng said.
Xue Mei saw his loss and suddenly felt that his single old mother was very difficult.
"I understand your intention." Xue Mei took it over, and his hands were still shaking a little even though he was separated by the box. "But I am really afraid of spiders. Also, spiders are beneficial insects and can form nets to eat mosquitoes. Let's release it and spare its life. Is it okay?"
It’s fake to spare Spider’s life, but it’s real to spare Xue Mei’s life, and she’s going crazy.
Which man gave a spider to a girl who hadn't yet been chased?
There are so many troughs and no mouths, Xue Meiquan endured it.
"Okay." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Just do it according to your opinion."
Xue Mei put the spider away and put away the box.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, Xue Mei and her elder brother and fifth brother went to the second uncle's house, and begged for a good time with her second aunt and second sister-in-law, and accompanied them to burn incense and sacrifice to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
However, this night she refused to open any box with her own hands.
When she went back, there was a small black dot on the carriage, which scared her.
It turned out to be a little dirty thing.
Xue Chi asked her what was wrong.
She told Xue Chi about Xiao Jingcheng sending her big spider: "It's so unintentional. Fortunately, it's me. If it were other girls, I would have to suck him with big mouths."
Xue Chi: "..."
You are the ones who are not enlightened?
Sending spiders on the Chinese Valentine's Day is very attentive. Not everyone can catch such a big spider?
"That's not good for him." Xue Mei said.
Xue Chi heard the words and asked her: "It's not good at all?"
"Yes." Xue Mei said, and then thought of him, his heart was very sweet, maternal love was about to spread, "Everything else is good, everything is good! He is so smart and handsome!"
Xue Chi: "Do you love him?"
"You can't say that. Even if you love someone, you must understand that this person actually has shortcomings, but he is different." Xue Mei said.
The son can be perfect and does not accept any criticism. This is the mother's position.
Xue Chi: "..."
When she returned to the princess's mansion, Xue Chi told her: "After you went back, you saw the box and threw it away directly. It was the spider that my fifth brother and I gave you, three in total, packed together."
Xue Mei's feet became soft and she almost knelt down.
"You have a grudge against me?"
Xue Chi couldn't help but smile and walked towards the backyard.
There was indeed a box in Xue Mei's yard. Dai's mother and others said that it was sent by the eldest son and sent it to Xue Meiqiqiao.
Xue Mei handed it to Jinping: "Put the spider and throw the box."
This night passed, and there were no spiders on the pillow to accompany him, and Xue Mei slept very sweetly.
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the heat of heat has been reduced by half, and the air when you wake up early is cool.
When Xue Mei pushed open the window frame and planned to breathe the fresh air, she smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus.
She was both surprised and delighted.
Who wouldn't want to smell the fragrance of flowers from nature on such a cool morning?
The maids are not usually worth the night, so this is Xue Mei's habit. Only her fat girl sleeps in her room. Seeing her open the window, the maids then brought water and came in to serve her to wash.
Xue Mei stretched her waist and let the maids comb her hair, while saying, "I smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Did the osmanthus flowers bloom so early?"
Hongluan holds laughter.
Xue Mei was curious: "What are you laughing at?"
"Miss, it was King Rui who asked someone to send a pot of osmanthus early in the morning and placed it under your window. This was carefully cultivated by the craftsmen in the palace to offer sacrifices to the nobles in the palace when they begged for skill." Hongluan said, "King King Rui brought you a pot."
Xue Mei: "..."
Hongluan smiled and said, "Miss, why don't we make your wedding dress first? As soon as you get rid of the clothes, you will quickly marry the prince."
Xue Mei reached out and knocked her head.
Hongluan: "The prince is so careful, and he won't let anyone wake you up."
Xue Mei couldn't help laughing.
It seems that Xiao Jingcheng is here to apologize.
It was obviously not his fault, but he was also dedicated to sending spiders last night.
"What good things do we have to return to the prince?" Xue Mei asked.
Hongluan smiled and said, "Miss, please invite the prince to come for a meal, even if it's a gift."
This idea is pretty good.
Xue Mei indeed gave Xiao Jingcheng an invitation and asked him to come over to have dinner in the evening.
Dai's mother taught Xue Mei to make a chicken soup - that is, Dai's mother prepared the ingredients, killed the chicken and washed them, Xue Mei put the chicken and ingredients in the pot, and then watched the fire.
"I made this chicken soup." Xue Mei showed off to Xiao Jingcheng, "I watched the fire for an hour and a half."
The chicken soup was delicious, Xiao Jingcheng nodded and praised: "It's very delicious."
Xue Mei: "You really know the goods."
Tonight, only Xiao Jingcheng, Xue Chi and Xue Run were both turned away by Xue Mei.
Xiao Jing made an appointment with Xue Mei: "During the Ullamban Festival, I will take you to set up river lanterns."
The Ullamban Festival is a Buddhist saying, which is the Taoist Chinese New Year - July 15th.
July 15th was a very lively festival in ancient times. Buddhism had temple fairs all night long; Taoism also had its own activities.
For ordinary people, river lanterns can be displayed this night.
Flying a river lantern is like flying a kite. It has the effect of praying for blessings and seeking good fortune, and it also has the meaning of summoning souls.
Put a river lantern to connect yin and yang, and you can bring your own words to your deceased relatives.
"It's better to go to the canal. We will go to the water to the water in our mansion. You can go with me when the time comes." Xiao Jingcheng said.
Xue Mei: "Do you still have a pleasure boat?"
"I have everything in my house." Xiao Jingcheng said, "You can tell me whatever you want and I'll give it to you."
lure!
Xue Mei warned himself that he could resist and not be attacked by sugar-coated shells.
