When Feng Qingchen heard that An Yi was going to hold a Qiqiao Festival tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Aren't you worried about the plague in the Three Kingdoms? Why are you thinking about celebrating the festival again?"
An Yi talked about the strawberry body and whispered: "We have been so busy that we have neglected the growth of these two children. In fact, I don't want any world. Our family is safe and sound, and these cities are enough."
Feng Qingchen lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"You should spare your time tomorrow and spend the holidays with these children!" An Yi said, "Shangguan Lin, Bai Sheng, Qing Yu, Sun Xin, and Qin Yannian have all grown up, and they should be assessed and assigned tasks. Got it!"
Feng Qingchen nodded.
An Yi sighed in his heart. It would be better to wait until after the festival to ask about the matter of the man in white. Let's have a good time with the children tomorrow.
The next day is the Qixi Festival, which was also called the Qiqiao Festival in ancient times.
In modern times, the Chinese Valentine's Day has been celebrated as Valentine's Day, but in ancient times, worshiping the Seventh Sister, praying for blessings and making wishes, begging for skills, sitting and watching the Altair and Vega, praying for marriage, and storing Chinese Valentine's Day water were all traditional customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day, which are much better than those in modern times. It is much more colorful and lively, especially those with daughters at home, who pay great attention to this festival.
An Yi said he wanted to celebrate the Qiao Qiao Festival, but A Yi and A Yao were so happy. Unfortunately, Qin Yanran was in good health now and needed to be observed for two days before she could leave the quarantine.
Ayi and Ayao took the maids in the house and made all kinds of fancy toys. They used grass, colored paper, sesame seeds, rice grains, etc. to make various flowers and fruits, ladies, utensils, palace models and other objects.
The grain seeds and mung beans are also soaked in small pots in advance to germinate and used to make "worshiping crops" and "worshiping dishes".
On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, I saw several flowers in front of the incense table in the yard, bunched with red paper and placed in bottles. There was a small incense burner in front of the flowers. The incense table was filled with flowers, fruits, rouge powder, small paper-made floral clothes, shoes, There is a dazzling array of daily necessities and embroidery.
Ah Yi and the maids gathered around the incense burner and silently recited their thoughts, making wishes like the Vega, while Xiao Douzi and Xiao Lanfu chased and played with several children, which was very lively.
At this moment, Cao Ma brought a silver basin with Yuanyang water in it.
The so-called mandarin duck water is to mix river water and well water, pour it into a basin, and leave it in the yard overnight. Then it will be exposed to the sun the next day, the seventh day of July, and you can "test the trick" in the afternoon or evening.
The water in the basin, after half a day of sunlight, formed a thin film on the surface. The little girls took their sewing needles and gently placed them flat on the water. If the needles did not sink, a needle shadow would appear under the water. Everyone The player will judge whether it is a lucky move or a lucky move based on the shape of the needle shadow.
If the needle shadow is a straight line, it is a loss of skill. If the needle shadow forms various shapes, whether curved, thick at one end, thin at the other, or other shapes, it is a skill gained.
Ayi's needle shadow was curved, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in pride.
"No wonder Sister A-yi is good at needlework!" Several little maids complimented A-yi on the spot.
Ayao lost it, and the shadow of the needle was a straight line, which was a coincidence.
Several little maids couldn't help but snickered quietly.
A Yao is indeed not very good at needlework.
"Look at it, little miss!" Ayi said, pushing Little Lanfu forward.
