Chapter 163 Boys and Girls and Rain Lady

As soon as Shen Zi'an saw Li Zheng coming, they could only stop, thinking that Li Zheng said that there was something to discuss, and they didn't know what was going on.

Li was coming and looking at Mrs. Li. He didn't want to say it in front of her, so he said, "Zi'an, let's go to your house and talk about it."

Mrs. Li immediately said, "Li Zheng, what can't you let me hear?"

Li Zheng could only stop. He could say that it was a private matter of Shen Zi'an's family, so he could not let the old lady hear it, but he was too lazy to say so, thinking that it was also a matter of the village anyway. When the whole village had to hear it, it was okay to let the old lady listen.

"That's it. Spring is coming. After the Qingming Festival, it will be Gu Yu. On this day, we have to hold a ceremony to pay homage to the Empress Yu. Every year, our ten miles and eight villages hold this ceremony together, which is also very lively. This year, I want to let the three little dolls in your family A virgin. I don't know if you are willing or not.

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi and waited for their reply.

Su Zhi was shocked when she heard the word boy and girl. It's not her fault. She used to read a lot of myths, especially Journey to the West. When it was mentioned in the boy and girl, it must not be a good thing. They were all going to feed the goblins, so as soon as she heard that Xiaori and the three If there is such a confused thing, she will definitely not send the child out to die.

But this is just an instantaneous thought. Ji Ziqing thought that it was impossible. If this really happened, as soon as this day approached, the people with children in the village would have been in a hurry. She must have heard the letter, but she had never seen her family with children in a hurry. Looking at Li Zheng again, it doesn't seem to be saying bad things, but it's like saying good things!

Sure enough, when Mrs. Li heard Li Zheng's words, her turbid old eyes lit up and said, "Li Zheng, such a good thing. It's also a portion of our iron eggs. Look at how good my iron egg is. It must be suitable to be a boy. Yu Niang will like it!"

Li was waving his hand and saying, "No, this boy and girl can't be too young or too old. It's best to be three to five years old. Your iron egg is too old. Don't be annoyed. I didn't let my family go. Besides, this boy and girl want nine each. There are more than a dozen villages and towns that hold the Rain Festival together. Each village wants the children of their own village to be boys and girls. Even if there are candidates in our village, we have to put them together and choose them again. At the age of your iron egg, you will definitely come down, so don't toss your iron egg!"

Mrs. Li was discouraged and took a look at Xiao Rixinger and Yueyue. I was jealous of the good luck of the Shen family. As soon as I brought a few children back, there was such a good thing. But thinking that they were unhappy just now, now say a few good words to save the relationship.

"What Li is saying is that in our village, only the three little children in Zi'an's family can be seen. Look at this white and tender, it looks like a golden boy and a jade girl. I'm sure I can compare the children of other villages. At that time, there will be three boys and girls in our village all of a sudden, which will be majestic.

Mrs. Li squinted at the three dolls and smiled. She also wanted to touch Yueyue's head. She was dodged by Yueyue. She hid behind Su Zhi and watched Mrs. Li blink her eyes. Mrs. Li twitched the corners of her mouth and scolded the little boy in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

Li Zheng asked, "Zi'an. Zi'an's daughter-in-law. How do you feel? I think these three children are also in good physical life. They can be boys and girls.

Shen Zi'an looked at Su Zhi. As soon as Su Zhi heard Li Zheng's words, and then saw that Mrs. Li was so anxious to let Tie Dan go, she knew that it was not a bad thing. She told Shen Zi'an that if he agreed, she would ask the children if they would like it. Shen Zi'an asked the three children if they were willing to be boys and girls, and said that they just needed to put on new clothes to accompany the Empress Yu.

Xing'er said, "Brother and sister, I'll go."

Xiaori took a look at Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an. Although he didn't quite understand what this was, it seemed to be a good thing. His father and mother did not object, so he did not object.

"Little sister, do you want to be a virgin?"

Yueyue blinked and said, "I'll go if I can make my father and mother happy."

Su Zhi's heart was warm. She thought that the child was really good at talking. At such a young age, she knew that she loved her parents. She didn't raise them for nothing. It was really a sweet little cotton-padded jacket. She picked up Yueyue and kissed her, and Yueyue giggled.

Xiaori said to Li Zheng, "Grandpa Li Zheng, let's go."

When Li Zheng heard this, he touched his beard happily and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll take you to the election tomorrow. With your clever appearance, you must be able to choose!" At that time, even if only the three of you are selected in our riverside village, we will show up!"

While waiting to separate from Mrs. Li and Li Zheng to go home, Su Zhi listened to the conversation between Shen Zi'an and Li Shi and knew what was going on with the Rain Festival.

It turns out that this is a custom of a good country. On the day of Gu Yu, everyone wants to worship Yu Niang.

Farmers worship Rain Niangniang in order to have a good year, so that they can have a bumper harvest year. And others naturally have their intentions to worship. Emperors worship for the peace of the country and the people, officials worship for promotion step by step, merchants worship for money, and scholars worship for a bright future. In a word, it's all about seeking prosperity.

The riverside village and the surrounding villages have set rules a long time ago. On the day of Gu Yu, this ceremony will be held together, which will be more popular and shows the unity and harmony of the villages.

It naturally costs money to hold this ceremony. Every year, the money will come out by rich people. Of course, they will not pay for nothing. It will be festive. At that time, Yu Niangniang will sprinkle lucky water on their home, which symbolizes that everything will go well in their family this year. This is just a situation, but others are willing to get this blessing, and many rich people will actively pay this money. This makes the ceremony more lively.'

On that day, Gu Yu will let a long-selected outstanding girl dress up as Yu Niang, sit on the gorgeously decorated floats, walk around these villages, and finally hold the final ceremony under Daqing Mountain, and then disperse.

After the whole ceremony, sometimes it was noisy until the afternoon. After all, there are too many villages, and the walking time is long enough. But after so many years, everyone is used to it and is willing to make trouble for a day. This is a festival that is no worse than the Spring Festival.

Su Zhi thought to herself that there was such a festival, which was really interesting.

"So how to choose this rain girl? Isn't it like this boy and girl, every village calls a girl and then let everyone choose, right?

Su Zhi is curious about which girl she will choose in Riverside Village. As far as she knows, there are many beautiful girls in Riverside Village.

Shen Zi'an said, "This girl who pretends to be Yu Niang asked to be fifteen years old, but there was no married girl. In addition to her appearance, she finally chose the best one."

Li Shi said, "The girl selected last year is from the town. She is the daughter of a scholar. She can write and draw, and she is very popular. I heard that the girl of the year before last was from the village of Shen Yu's sister's husband's house. She is the daughter of a man and can cure the disease.

As soon as Su Zhi heard it, it was just like the draft. The women who can be selected are all top-notch, which is very popular. These days' women, even if they are rural girls, can show their faces, and they are also taught the rules. If the limelight is too big, they will be pointed out. This is Yu Niang A thing that can be both popular and praised is simply a big highlight in life. I guess the competition is very fierce.

Su Zhi suddenly thought of Shen Zhu and asked Shen Zi'an, "Will Pearl's sister run for the election?"

Shen Zi'an shook his head and said, "I don't know about this.

Su Zhijue's Shen Zhu must want to go. Shen Zhu is not a peaceful woman from the bone. How can she not go with such a thing in the limelight?

Li Shi said, "I guess Zhao Xiaohua will also run for the election. Didn't you see that the old lady Li left in a hurry just now? The iron egg of the boy's family can't do it. I guess she wants her daughter to run for Yu Niang again."

Su Zhi thought of Zhao Xiaohua dressing up as Yu Niang. Although she didn't know what Yu Niang should dress, she must be a fairy like Guanyin. She must be dignified and generous. Can she play Zhao Xiaohua? Thinking that Zhao Xiaohua was pretending to be holy there, she suddenly stared and couldn't help laughing.

When Shen Zi'an saw his daughter-in-law smiling, he could guess what she was laughing. He took her hand and laughed with her.

Li Shi looked at the love between the young couple, twisted his face aside, and sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that when he could have a cold and hot person to stay aside. He thought of Liu Siniang in his heart and shook his head to make her shadow disappear. Let's do this first.

Su Zhi designed his house for Li Shi. Finally, Li Shi decided to build the house. He took the picture drawn by Su Zhi and discussed it with Shen Shugen. Shen Zi'an asked Li Shi to stay for dinner, but Li Shi didn't stay and left in a hurry. Su Zhi didn't put away the pen and ink, and then drew pictures. She thought that the weather was getting warmer, and it was time to clean up the garden. It can't always be so barren.

Yueyue played with the little black little white on the mat on the ground. She had to sit on the big black and was arched to one side by the white wolf. Yueyue was not angry and played on the other side.

Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi sat on the kang and discussed how to clean up the garden while drawing on the paper. Xiao Ri and Xing'er were watching, and they didn't know if they could understand it.

When it was getting dark, thick black clouds floated into the sky, and soon floated over. The thunder sounded, and the first rain of this spring was coming. ( To be continued) RQ
