The good times of Fujin

Unlike the indigenous couples, the reborn couples get along more harmoniously, perhaps because they have experienced more things, and their tolerance for each other has also increased a lot.As the Qixi Festival approaches, many girls begin to prepare tools for begging for cleverness, so most of the small stalls in the market are filled with such items.

Some sell special needles and threads for girls to thread needles and threads; some sell fresh balsams for girls who love beauty to dye their nails - mashing balsam into juice to dye nails red, it is said that it can make fingers flexible No cramps; there are some who sell mills and drink.This thing was originally a custom that prevailed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. With the improvement of the living standards of the people in the Qing Dynasty, merchants began to make money in different ways for these traditional festivals.This custom of grinding, drinking and having fun gradually spread again.

Mohele, also known as Moheluo, Mohoro, etc., is transliterated from the Sanskrit god name in Buddhist scriptures. It is a plaything for the folk Qixi Festival, that is, small clay puppets, mostly men with smiling eyes and holding lotus leaves. Child image.Mohele is regarded as "Qiaoer" for children to play games; it can also be enshrined on Qixi Festival to convey women's wish of "becoming a man".Therefore, this Mohele product has been launched. Not only are married girls and daughters-in-law who are about to get married willing to buy it, but even those who have children can’t be bothered by their children’s acting like a baby. little child playing.

Since ancient times, Chinese people celebrate festivals, and every festival seems to have a fixed and matching diet. As for what to eat, it is the finishing touch for this festival.Qiaoguo is a festive food for Qixi Festival, such as rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival and mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.Qiao Guo is more commonly made by adding sugar to glutinous rice flour or flour, kneading and cutting into long thin slices, and deep-fried in a frying pan.This kind of Qiaoguo is in a twisted shape, which means "Qiao" with "seven bends and eight bends".

In addition to this type, Qiaoguo also has a variety of other shapes. When crafty women make Qiaoguo by themselves, they will make various patterns related to the legend of Qixi Festival or entrust their good wishes.However, before the Qixi Festival, the girls begging for Qiaoguo have not yet started to make Qiaoguo, and the merchants began to sell it as a seasonal snack.The aroma of some snacks when they are being made makes people unable to stop and taste them. In the alley, there are songs sung by children during games: "Beg for skillful hands, beg for skillful appearance; beg for understanding of heart, beg for beauty; beg for my father and mother's beauty." A hundred years old, beg my sister for thousands of years."

Hongli took Jing Xian's hand and walked slowly down the street, watching Jing Xian being attracted by the items in the market from time to time, he felt that the time was quiet for a while.

The two of them entered a shop specializing in jade jewelry decorations one after the other. Jing Xian rushed to the Bogu shelf after entering, while Hongli just strolled casually, looking around, not particularly interested.

"Master! Come and see this!" Jing Xian waved at him with something, as if she had something to say to him.Hongli walked over and saw that it was a pair of mutton jade rings.Jingxian and Hongli originally had a pair of diamonds. Although it was not very popular in the Qing Dynasty, according to the well-informed Hongli, this thing is a symbol of love.Later, the Western envoys also said that this diamond is much more valuable than gold, and because it is very hard, it is also very difficult to polish. Such a pair of diamond rings are rarer than jade.

Women in this day and age wear rings mostly for decoration, but Hongli insisted that the rings were not worn indiscriminately, and he was determined not to let her wear them on her index finger and little finger. bring out.This time, when I saw it in this shop, I picked it up and tried it casually. Who would have thought that it would actually fit perfectly with my ring finger, as if it was tailor-made for her.Out of curiosity, she asked Hongli to try the other one.

"Ma'am, this ring is a pair." When Jing Xian picked up the ring, the shopkeeper reminded her.These two rings are actually displayed on the counter. Most people would not buy a pair of rings, even couples would not. Although these two rings are the masterpieces of the masters in their jewelry store, they have been here for several years. , did not sell.

At the beginning, it was a piece of high-quality suet jade, although the quality was very high, when the jewelry master was making jewelry, he just caught up with the emperor's "marriage movement", so he had an idea and made a couple's ring. The ring is surrounded by a small ring, and a small safety buckle is made of the last piece of material.

It's a pity that the ring is mostly a metal ring, which is easy to adjust the size.Most of the mutton fat jade is a thick finger pull, which is used for hunting and drawing bows for men, or it is used as a decoration on the thumb.It is actually very difficult to find a suitable owner for such a slender ring on the finger, and it is even more difficult to find the right pair.

Jing Xian didn't pay attention to it, she just liked it, and saw the box on the Bogu shelf from a distance, and inexplicably liked the pair of rings there, and asked to try them on when she entered the store.The shopkeeper took a look at Jing Xian, and saw that she had a good temperament, she looked like the head wife of a wealthy family, such a wife would like this kind of ring, presumably she should also be favored in the inner house.

Looking at Hongli who came in with Jingxian, he should also be a serious couple based on their age, and the relationship between this couple should be quite harmonious.This is not the 21st century, when the wife goes shopping and the husband has to drive, pay, and carry the bag, and he has to express his reasonable opinions on the things his wife buys from time to time.If there is perfunctory or unwillingness to spend money, it will be criticized by the wife, the wife's best friend, the wife's parents, the wife's relatives, etc., with the wife as the core.

These days, taking his wife out to offer incense can be regarded as a good husband in the Qing Dynasty!Most of them are like Hong Zhou, who saw something rare and bought it back for his beautiful wife and concubine at home, or asked the shop to deliver something to the house with a big wave of his hand, and let the family choose whatever they wanted.The habit of shopping together as a couple like Hong Zhou was cultivated after traveling.Before that, Hong Zhou and Erin Bu went shopping very rarely, almost zero.

Looking at this couple who got along very well, the shopkeeper suddenly felt that maybe this ring could be sold today.So she greeted Jing Xian very attentively to try on the smaller ring.Jing Xian picked up the ring and put it on the ring finger of her left hand without thinking. The size and tightness were just right.So, he called Hongli over to try the ring.

These days, dragons and phoenixes are not something ordinary people can use casually, so the engravings on this ring are just very common auspicious cloud patterns.Men's patterns are rough and bold, while women's patterns are more delicate.The head of the water looks good, and the material is also high-quality when you touch it with your hands. Although it is not as good as the tribute, it is still the top-quality product on the market.

I picked up the remaining ring and tried it on my ring finger, and it actually fits very well! "Oh my God! So you two are the destined people for this pair of rings!" The shopkeeper replied with a kind of "Oh, I'm going, I actually saw a live dinosaur. Mom has a live dinosaur. Oh, there are really live dinosaurs in this world." !" Looking at Jing Xian and Hong Li with such eyes. (The above is from Hongli’s dictation)

"You two are not locals with your accent, right? You two, you don't know, this pair of rings..." Well, the shopkeeper began to introduce the origin of this pair of rings, and by the way explained that the couple who could wear them had never It has appeared in this store, and it is not that there are no ladies who want to buy a catwalk show, but they all end in failure.As for the men, they are naturally not interested in such things that hide the little thoughts of their daughters, and they prefer thick and practical finger spanners.

All in all, all in all, if Jingxian and Hongli didn't buy this pair of rings, they would be sorry for entering the store, sorry for their coming to Qingpu, and sorry for their leaving from Beijing.In the shopkeeper's mouth, it seemed that they came all this way to meet these two rings.

Finally, Hongli couldn't bear the attack of the shopkeeper's magic voice—he didn't let them go, but forced them to repeatedly introduce how lucky, happy, and enviable the couple who could wear these two rings... Finally, Hongli Li still spent some money to buy these two paired rings, and the store also gave them the same safety clasp as a souvenir.

The safety clasp that was dug out of the ring could be as big as it could be for the grandson in the palace, but Hongli still threw the safety clasp into his purse out of the desire not to take advantage of the bastard.After thinking about it, he asked that the master who made the ring was still in the shop, and Hongli asked to engrave "scenery" and "calendar" on the inside of the ring.After asking the old craftsman, they ordered to pick up the goods the day before Qixi Festival, and the two returned to their residence.The servants did not report back the quarrel between Elinbu and Hongzhou, so the two places lived in peace, and it was the day before Qixi Festival in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Hongli and Jingxian went to the shop to get married rings, and on the way back they bought some utensils and fruits needed for begging.No one said that Qiqiao must be a big girl and a young daughter-in-law. Erlinbu and Jingxian thought they were not very old, so they planned to hold a Qiqiao activity at night according to folk rules.

When the first quarter moon clearly appears in the sky, the activity of begging for cleverness begins.The so-called "begging for cleverness" is nothing more than a competition. In the case of two victories in three games, the sister-in-law actually drew a tie, which is also due to fate.Several people were in good spirits, sitting in the gazebo in the yard to enjoy the shade.

Hong Zhou was very curious about his fourth brother's ring, but unfortunately, his fourth brother was not willing to show him off, and just threw a fingernail-sized safety clasp casually, saying it was a reward for him. "Stingy!" Hong Zhou muttered, but he was rewarded by his fourth brother, and he didn't dislike it too much.Hongli was amazed at Hong Zhou's obedience, and when he didn't take advantage of the trend to ask for a better baby, Jing Xian exclaimed: "It's a broom star!"

The so-called broom star is another name for fashion. Hongli stood up, walked out of the gazebo, and came to the courtyard, watching the sky from time to time. After Hongli finished thinking, he heard "Be careful!" He felt like he was hit by something heavy...

Hongli, who was lying on the bed, became conscious. He remembered that he had been hit by something, and he was startled. Before he opened his eyes, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice: "Mr. There is a board meeting that needs to be attended; at noon, there is a commercial dinner; in the afternoon, the contract with the xx group is dealt with..."

Hongli opened his eyes suddenly, seeing all the modern equipment and electrical appliances, and the sound came from the video connection at the head of the bed...
