Chapter 82 Customs and Taboos of Beginning of Summer

After some efforts, the dispute between the two good brothers was finally resolved. Little Bell and Yingying also resumed their laughter and joy, playing happily with them. The four lovely babies played in the garden, their laughter and shouts were full of innocence and happiness, forming a warm and touching picture.

Hua Yuchen was also attracted by Luo Ying's sweet smile at this moment. He approached quietly, gently hugged her from behind, and buried his head in her soft hair. He greedily breathed in the faint fragrance emanating from Luo Ying's hair. The fragrance seemed to have a kind of intoxicating magic that made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

He lowered his head and blew gently into Luo Ying's ears with his warm breath, his voice low and magnetic: "What are you laughing at? So happy?" His voice seemed to carry a kind of magic, which made Luo Ying's heart surge with a warm current. She turned to look at him, with happiness shining in her eyes.

Luo Ying's laughter became brighter and brighter. She joked in a playful tone, "I didn't expect that you, the overlord of the world, are not only first-class in cooking, but also first-class in educating children. You looked so handsome when you were educating the two brothers just now!"

Hua Yuchen felt a warm current in his heart after hearing Luo Ying's praise, and couldn't help but smile proudly. He lowered his head close to Luo Ying's ear and whispered in a seductive voice: "So... is your husband more handsome when he is educating children... or when he is in bed..."

Luo Ying was caught off guard by his sudden question, as if an electric current instantly spread throughout her body, and her cheeks instantly flushed, and the blush even spread to her ears. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Hua Yuchen's deep and fiery eyes, but her heart was extremely sweet.

Hua Yuchen saw her shy look, and he was instantly overwhelmed with excitement. He gently stretched out his hand, gently lifted her face, and let her bright eyes look directly at him. His heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and a strong impulse drove him to kiss her deeply.

However, Luo Ying suddenly stretched out her hand alertly and gently sealed his lips. Her voice was a little nervous and shy: "The children are all here..."

Hua Yuchen understood her meaning instantly. He smiled and gently hooked her hands around his neck. With one smooth movement, he picked her up horizontally, walked gently into the room, and locked her tightly against the wall.

He gazed at her deeply, his eyes gleaming with indescribable tenderness. That tenderness was like a pool of spring water, rippling with clear water and sparkling with the shimmering light of stars. He seemed to want to suck her deeply into his own world and become one with her.

"What should I do?" He looked at her affectionately, his voice low and magnetic, "I'm addicted to you... I just want to stick to you every day."

Luo Ying felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to his confession.

Luo Ying stared at his tempting red lips, and an irresistible impulse surged in her heart. She couldn't help but tiptoe, gently moved closer, and kissed the heart-moving lips affectionately.

Hua Yuchen was stunned for a moment by her sudden action, but then he reacted quickly, took her hand and hooked it around his neck, and held her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head, covered Luo Ying's with his hot lips, and kissed her deeply. His kissing skills were skillful, and he skillfully pried open her teeth and lingered with her, as if he wanted to suck each other's souls into this passionate kiss.

Luo Ying was numb all over by his kiss, and her mind was in a mess, as if she was in a dream. She gradually forgot to resist, letting her emotions flow in the kiss, responding to his passionate kiss like a conditioned reflex.

After a long time, Hua Yuchen finally let go of Luo Ying and whispered in her ear: "How about... let's have a few more babies..."

Luo Ying was frightened by his sudden words and her face turned red with shame. She hurriedly pushed him away and stammered, "I... I'll go see the children..." After that, she turned around and fled out of the room.

Hua Yuchen looked at Luo Ying's panicked back, with a smug smile on his face. He knew that his words had successfully aroused Luo Ying's heartstrings, and in the days to come, the feelings between them would become deeper and more lingering.

Luo Ying walked into the garden leisurely, and saw children gathered under a big tree with lush branches and leaves, laughing and talking happily. She couldn't help but feel curious, so she walked closer to find out what was going on.

There was a huge weight hanging on the tree, and a sturdy little stool hung on the hook. Several children happily lined up in a long queue and sat on the stool one by one.

Seeing this, Luo Ying couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look. She opened her red lips slightly and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Little Bell proudly explained: "This is our Lixia custom! The second custom of the Lixia every year is to weigh people, which means measuring their weight, but not with a scale, but with a traditional large scale.

In ancient times, people would put a large scale on a tree at the entrance of the village, hang a stool on the scale hook, and people would take turns to sit on it and weigh themselves, saying some auspicious words, and they had to start with the children and end with the elderly. This is called Li Da Chu, which means the order from youngest to oldest.

Luo Ying listened with great interest and couldn't help asking curiously, "What's the explanation for this custom?"

So Luo Ying called a few more children over, and they brought small stone benches, sat around together, and listened attentively to the little bell telling about this ancient and interesting Beginning of Summer custom.

Xiao Lingdang explained seriously, "It is said that this custom is related to Liu Adou. According to folklore, before Liu Bei died, he asked Zhao Zilong to send Liu Adou to Jiangdong to be taken care of by Madam Sun. Madam Sun took good care of him, but she was still afraid that she was not taking good care of him, so she would weigh Liu Adou every summer to see if he was in good health."

Seeing Xiao Lingdang's concentration, Luo Ying couldn't help but tease her and said, "Teacher Xiao Lingdang, besides the custom I just mentioned, what other customs are there during the Beginning of Summer?"

When Xiao Lingling heard this, his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. He jumped and found a big rock to stand on. He cleared his throat, put on the posture of a lecturer, and said, "Then teacher, I will explain it to you in detail... From ancient times to the present, people have always paid attention to this important solar term, the Beginning of Summer. In ancient times, on the day of the Beginning of Summer, the king would take officials to the wild to welcome the summer. Therefore, the Beginning of Summer has many customs and taboos. In addition to the second custom of weighing people, the first custom of the Beginning of Summer is to eat Beginning of Summer eggs."

Luo Ying gently held her cheek, with curiosity glittering in her eyes. She asked seriously, "What does it mean? Who is the origin of this custom?"

Xiao Lingdang was very serious when he heard this. He replied, "The custom of eating eggs standing on end originated from Nuwa. After the beginning of summer, the weather starts to get hotter and people's appetite starts to decrease. Children in particular don't like to eat. They feel tired and have no energy, and they are more likely to get sick.

Many parents were also very anxious, so they prayed to Nuwa, asking her to save their children. Nuwa told people that if they hung an egg around the child's neck, the child would not get sick again.

So the custom of eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer came from this. In addition, the third custom of the Beginning of Summer is to eat three new foods: cherries, wheat, and green plums. These three foods are seasonal foods around the Beginning of Summer. In many places, these three seasonal foods are eaten on the Beginning of Summer.

Those who come to worship their ancestors let them taste the crops they have planted first, to bless the next crops to go smoothly. "

Luo Ying listened with great interest and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are the taboos of the beginning of summer?"

Little Bell nodded slightly and said seriously: "The taboo of the Beginning of Summer is not to sit on wood. The temperature rises around the Beginning of Summer, and there will be more rain. Wood is easily damp. If you sit on damp wood, the moisture will easily enter your body, which is not good for your health and will cause many diseases. So it is best not to sit on wood at the Beginning of Summer. Remember this."

Luo Ying looked at Xiao Lingling's serious face and couldn't help laughing. He quickly nodded and agreed, "I'll remember it. Thank you for the reminder, teacher!"

She pondered for a moment, then curiously continued to ask: "Teacher Xiao Lingdang, they all call you Xiao Lingdang, is the flower you represent related to your name?"

When Xiao Lingling heard this, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she replied with joy: "Sister Luo Ying, you are so smart. I am the Flower God of Beginning of Summer and the Flower God of Lily of the Valley."

Luo Ying was very interested and asked excitedly: "Tell me, what does lily of the valley look like? What's the legend?"

Little Bell smiled and said, "I'll pick one for you."

The little bell was jumping happily in the garden, like a lively elf. He stopped in front of the lily of the valley, carefully plucked a lily of the valley, and then ran towards Luo Ying excitedly. Luo Ying took the flower and her eyes were immediately attracted by it. She exclaimed in surprise: "This looks too much like a bunch of little bells."

Seeing how much she liked it, Little Bell proudly told her, "This lily of the valley is the best among orchids. Its flowers are as pure as jade, better than many orchids. It likes to grow quietly in the mountains and forests. Although it has strings of bell-like flowers, who can hear its sound? It is named lily of the valley because its flower shape resembles a bell and its fragrance is as elegant as an orchid. Moreover, there is a very touching legend about lily of the valley."

Luo Ying was fascinated by what she heard, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. She urged anxiously, "What legend is that? Tell me about it quickly."
