Chapter 22 Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival arrived in a blink of an eye. When I got up early in the morning, the sun was hot and steamed on the ground.
When the old lady and Zhixian sent people to send corn mille and rice balls, Bu Nuan was busy sprinkling male yellow powder at the corner of the Yanbo Building. They were fascinated by the wind and had a lot of snot and tears.
The two girls only smiled. The wet nurse quickly took out the prepared healthy man and sachet, invited someone to take it back as a gift, and greeted, "It's done. It's enough. If you spill it tightly, I'm afraid it's not enough to weigh another two catties. He came up and pulled Bu Nuan, brought the corners of his clothes to her eyes, and muttered, "Be careful, I dare not be careless about this. Go back and wash it!"
Bu Nuan raised his hand and rubbed it, just smiling, "It's okay, it's all right now."
Xiu didn't ask for mercy. He led her into the room and carefully wiped the powder on her face with a towel handle. The newly bought lead powder smells like medicine, which is said to be able to prevent sweating in hot weather. At one end, he ordered Xiangnon to get a change of clothes, pulled out two long-lived waps and tied them to her wrists, said a string of auspicious words, and said, "I have lived my life for the young lady."
Bu Nuan took a look and pouted, "A man of my age still tied this, not a child, which makes people laugh."
"Speaking about it, you don't allow others, why aren't you a child? Wear it obediently and take refuge in disaster relief. It doesn't matter whether it's useful or not. At least it's a sustenance. Xiu shook the robe sent by Shake Xiangong, "Change your clothes quickly. Don't wait for General Lan to come back to pick it up. It's so chaotic."
The wet nurse's job was really well done. The day she entered Chang'an, she said she wanted to be fooled, and she was ready the other day. Bu Nuan looked at the headdress in the pear tray. The top of the hairpin was inlaid with a circle of tassels, which was densely laid on the bottom of the plate and lingered.
"I don't want to wear Hu clothes." She turned her back awkwardly and yearned for it first. As a result, she found that the person who surprised her was her uncle, so she didn't even think about it.
The wet nurse didn't understand her heart and said blindly, "It's better to wear beard clothes. There are so many people outside, and it's inconvenient for the girl's half-arm collar. Your child is really weird. He was clamoring to buy Hufu first, but now he has it, but he doesn't wear it. What on earth is unsatisfactory? I don't know if you are bored. Why don't you say it and change the bad things again. What a pity to throw away the new clothes for nothing!"
Xiu nagging for a long time, but Bu Nuan couldn't stand the noise of her. Seeing that she wanted to remember the bitterness and sweetness, she hurriedly nodded, "Stop talking, I'll just wear it."
Several people dressed her happily. The jade furnace half knelt down and buckled the belt for her. Several sachets were hung on the seven things and stroked their palms, "Miss is really beautiful in a Hu suit. I'll look at it twice, but there are any omissions?"
Bu Nuan was at their mercy like a puppet. Shannon took osmanthus oil to give her a high bun, put on a hair crown, inserted a hair needle, looked up and down with a smile and said, "Whose husband is this? What a handsome little father-in-law!"
Bu Nuan became happy, turned around in front of the mirror and admired, "If I were a man, all the women in Chang'an would probably rush to marry me!" Look at this figure, this face, General Shen is not as good as me!"
The people in the room covered their mouths and laughed, "How can you praise yourself so much? Don't be ashamed!"
Xiu picked a piece of wormwood and put it in her bun and said, "The grade is so poor! The sixth son was so busy before the festival that he was not at home for several nights, and he had to guard the palace today. Mr. Lan is so leisurely that he doesn't have much official business on weekdays, and he can make time to compete during the festival. After all, the royal relatives are very different from ordinary officials.
Bu Nuan smiled, and his uncle was always majestic. He told a small lie, and everyone saved a lot of trouble. She agreed, "Isn't it? It's not easy to be a big governor!"
Xiu's expression was like tasting a bottle of good wine and nodded himself, "It's still easy for Mr. Lan. There is no war at the border gate, and he lives freely. If anyone marries him, just wait to live a good life.
Bu Nuan has one head and two big, and his heart is coming again! The wet nurse is a demon of Lan Sheng. Although he is good-looking and has a high family background, it is an indisputable fact, but if it is true, his uncle is more top-notch! My uncle is calm and reliable at a glance. As far as the boudoir's son-in-law is concerned, she feels that her uncle is safer than Lan Sheng's impetuousness.
It's a pity that it's in vain to compare.
She was melancholy when someone shouted downstairs, "Is the young lady available?"
Bu Nuan lay on the hook railing and leaned out. He saw the housekeeper standing in the shade of the house with his head up and smiled at her, "Miss, clean up quickly. The prince's car is waiting. Let's leave the house when she is ready!"
The nurse said strangely, "Why is it the sixth son's car? Didn't General Lan come to pick it up?"
Housekeeper Qu touched his nose and said, "I don't know that. I expected General Lan to be busy. Isn't there a competition today? I won't be free!"
Bu Nuan turned back to get the hat and told the jade furnace, "There is real wine in the morning. You can have a good drink with the nurse. If you are interested, you can go out and disperse. It's very lively outside the Dragon Boat Festival. If you miss it, you have to wait until next year!"
The jade furnace sent her out of the door, pulled the corners of her clothes and said, "Don't just play by yourself. Bring some back when you meet delicious food!"
"I know how to eat all day long!" Bu Nuan pinched her fat cheek, "I remember, salty, not sweet, the little lady is really difficult to serve!"
The jade furnace slammed and opened her hand and said, "Be careful, are you flirting with the good family?"
The cloth warm folded the fan and went out with a long smile.
The chariot did not stop in front of Shenfu. Chunhuifang is not a straight road. When you enter the gate, you have to turn a few corners to get to the general's mansion. Bu Nuan followed the housekeeper and faintly saw a car parked on the wall through a dense bamboo forest. I was wondering what to do secretly. As I approached, I saw that the person standing in front of me was actually my uncle.
She was shocked and quickly walked up to salute, "Why did your uncle come in person? Didn't you say that Lan Sheng's little boy came to pick him up?
The first time I saw her dressed in nonsense, she looked a little familiar, which was very similar to the clothes he often wore, but she showed a different taste. Rong and looked up and down, removing the ridiculous wormwood above his head, which can be regarded as a beautiful man.
"Humu Mu has nothing to do. Lan Sheng is busy preparing. Since I'm idle, I come to save some hands and feet." He smiled and said, "You look good in a beard."
Bu Nuan blushed and felt guilty, and he squeezed his robe awkwardly, as if something he didn't want people to peeped into exposed to the public.
She was afraid that her uncle would make fun of her and became more and more trembling. Fortunately, he was wearing a regular suit. If he bumped into him, wouldn't it make her feel embarrassed?
"Look, uncle, my clothes are the same as yours? As soon as I entered Chang'an that day, I saw a man wearing such a robe. I thought it was really beautiful, so I asked the wet nurse to buy it for me..." She smiled dryly, smiled and suddenly felt bitter, and the corners of her mouth were like a thousand pounds, and she couldn't lift it anymore. The voice gradually lowered, remembering that the sincerity in front of him went with the wind, full of infinite sadness, "Who knows that person is actually you!"
He was slightly surprised to hear that her face was cloudy, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. He hurriedly said, "I received an urgent call to go out that day, but I met her on the road? However, this dress suits you as much as your uncle. We are heroes with similar opinions. My hair crown was made by a jewelry craftsman last year. Can it be sold now?
Bu Nuan was still complaining about himself. As soon as he interrupted him, he put it on the back of his head and said, "That's for sure! Such a beautiful crown is 80% available in every gold shop. It's just that the beam ridge has been flattened, and the civilians don't dare to wear a crown and catch it to eat the board!"
She drew a gesture, and she didn't look sad at all. Rong Yuxing sighed and guessed that he was old and could no longer keep up with her jumpy thinking. Send her into the car, put down the veil on her armpits, swing the whip freely, and the carriage swayed forward. She sat aside, with a small man leaning against the hem. He turned his head and looked at her, "Why do you smell like yellow?"
Bu Nuan didn't make a sound and pointed to the string of sachets around his waist to show him, "Isn't Uncle the one who hangs healthy people to fight off evil spirits on the Dragon Boat Festival?" Speaking of carefully, his dress is really incompatible with this lively festival. There is no suitable object, and there is only a goldfish bag with a military charm on his waist. Compared with the flowers on her belt, the seven things are pitiful.
"Didn't Sister Zhixian prepare anything for her uncle for the Dragon Boat Festival?" She shook her head with pity, "It's too cold for such a holiday."
Rong and held the corners of his mouth, and Zhixian sent a lot of things to the army, but he didn't want to wear them. He is not Lan Sheng. He hangs a bunch of accessories on the man's house, which makes people laugh behind his back.
Bu Nuan was a little regretful. If she had known that Zhixian was not in the mood to ask these questions, she should have given the complicated things to her uncle. Now it has been given to Lan Sheng, and there is no more. Fortunately, two long-lived waps were tied to her arm.
She quickly untied the next one and hesitated to ask, "Nuan'er continued my uncle's life?" The wet nurse said that those who are not married are all children, and wearing long-lived wafers can prevent them from being injured by the blade.
He didn't say a word and watched her put the five-color silk on his wrist, and all his attention was focused on that square inch in an instant. Her ten-finger white jade, deftly flipped and carefully tied a bow. His fingertips occasionally scratched his skin, and the warm touch shook and spread.
He held his breath. She raised her eyes and smiled like flowers. Her pure face was close at hand and said proudly, "How beautiful it is!"
Maybe she didn't see him disgusted, and she became bolder and bolder. After thinking about it, he pulled out the wormwood on his head and put it in his hair. He bowed with satisfaction, "This is what looks like a festival!"
To be honest, the general of the town army has a long life on his wrist and wormwood on his head. The funny appearance and plain and majestic style are far from each other. If he is met by his colleagues in the court, he will probably laugh for three or five days.
Bu Nuan likes it. Such an uncle is alive and will not be abrupt when he enters the flow of people. Just like ordinary people, at best, they are calmer than others, more indifferent than others, and more tolerant than others.
