I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"Miss Xu, do you still remember me?" A woman looked at her with curved eyebrows.

"Of course, we just met at noon."

"The chocolates you made are so beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined." The woman was overwhelmed by the many chocolates on the table.

After looking at them for a while, she looked up and asked for help, "What should I do? They are all so beautiful. I don't know which one to choose."

Xu Si also understood it very well. Isn’t this just a case of indecisiveness?

She pointed to one of the knots and said, "Since you're going to give it to your fiancé, why not choose this love knot?"

The love knot, as the name suggests, symbolizes deep love and everlasting union.

The woman hesitated, "Will it seem like I'm too unreserved?"

"No, you are an engaged couple, isn't it normal for you to have the same mind?"

A woman who falls in love tends to think too much and is too self-conscious.

"Then I'll take this one. Please give me a double link so I can carry it myself. My fiancé will take the provincial examination next month, and I hope I can bless him with good luck."

"Oh, you're a scholar, not bad."

The woman was a little shy. "We are neighbors. We grew up together. We can be considered childhood sweethearts."

Xu Si handed her two strings of chocolates and said with a smile, "I wish you happiness."

Speaking of the provincial examination, it is held every three years in August, so it is called the Autumn Examination.

Many people specifically choose the fruit with Wenchang knot, which symbolizes success in the imperial examinations and passing every exam, and they either give it to themselves or bring it to others.

On the day of Chinese Valentine's Day, Xu Si made another batch at the request of the guests. They tasted delicious and all the scattered cookies were sold out.

"Luckily we set aside a few strings in advance, otherwise we would have none left." Lou Yuexin counted out 1000 copper coins she had received and strung them together, planning to go to the bank to exchange them for whole silver coins later.

Half of the snacks hanging around Xu Si's waist had been eaten, leaving only three. She moved the remaining snacks around to make them look more evenly distributed.

Shen Anyi said as he cleaned up the table, "Let's close the stall early in the evening. There will be a lot of interesting activities. You and your mother can go and have some fun."

"What activities will there be?"

Seeing Xu Si's interest, Su Jinyue explained, "There are many things to say about this. For example, there are various forms of contests of ingenuity, such as threading a needle to beg for ingenuity, spiders responding to ingenuity, and throwing needles to test ingenuity. You can also go to worship the Weaver Girl and pray for ingenuity and marriage."

Xu Si found it quite interesting at first, but when the last few words came out, he couldn't help but frown.

"Anything else is fine, just pray for a marriage."

"Why? Everyone is praising the love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Su Jinyue was a little puzzled.

"I know this story. My mother told it to me and I still remember it." Qi Ning raised his little hand, shook his little head, and began to explain.

"It is said that there was a man named Niulang. After his parents died, his brother and sister-in-law divided their property with him, leaving him only a cow and a shabby house.

On this day, the Weaver Girl and other fairies came down to earth to play. With the help of the old cow, the Cowherd got to know the Weaver Girl. They fell in love with each other and got married.

We also have two lovely babies and the whole family is very happy.

The good times did not last long. The Emperor of Heaven found out about this and sent people to capture the Weaver Girl. The old cow asked the Cowherd to peel off its skin so that he could help him go to heaven.

So the Cowherd carried the two children on his back and chased after them wearing the skin of an old cow. When they were about to catch up, the Queen Mother waved her hand, and a Milky Way appeared in front of them. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl looked at each other across the river.

Their love moved the magpies, which built a magpie bridge for the two to meet each other.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to allow the two to meet at Magpie Bridge on the seventh day of the seventh month every year."

Qi Ning spoke vividly, and the expression on his face changed as the story developed.

He was very nervous when talking about the Weaver Girl being captured, and became angry when talking about the Queen Mother waving the Milky Way. But he smiled again at the end.

Xu Si felt something was not right. The story was too concise. It avoided the important issues and completely beautified the process.

"Is this the story you heard when you were little?"

Su Jinyue looked a little nostalgic, "Yes, this is what my mother told me when I was a child."

Xu Si found it hard to accept, "Then do you know how Lao Niu helped the two of them meet?"

Everyone shook their heads, curious about the answer.

"That's because the old cow and the cowherd said that on the seventh day of the lunar calendar, if you go to the reed pond at the east end of the village at night, you can see seven fairies coming down to earth to take a bath.

As long as he secretly hides the clothes of one of the fairies and returns them to her when the fairy comes to look for them, the fairy will marry him. "

Su Jinyue was greatly shocked, "Did Niulang really do this?"

"Of course, why else would the fairy marry him."

"But isn't Niulang a simple and honest man?"

Xu Si spread his hands, "Who knows? Would an honest person steal someone else's clothes?"

"This, let me slow down."

It was the first time that everyone heard about a plot that was not written in the story, and it turned out to be so unbearable.

"The cowherd is a bad guy. How could he peek at a girl taking a bath!" Qi Ning was a little angry. He decided not to like the cowherd anymore.

"Is there love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" Lou Yuexin frowned and thought.

"I don't think so. Cowherd is a thief. Besides, Weaver Girl is living well in heaven. After coming down to earth, she has to work and can't eat delicious food. It's all because of him."

Xu Si felt terrified just thinking about it, and who would want to work if not forced by life? It was not like the Weaver Girl had nothing better to do.

"Then why did she want to meet the cowherd?"

"I think he can't bear to leave his child and wants to see him."

Su Jinyue felt that this explanation made sense and couldn't help but touch Qi Ning's head. If it were her, she would also be reluctant to give up the child she gave birth to.

Shen Yanchen suddenly asked, "Then why don't the fairies bathe in the sky, but go to the reed pond to bathe?"

Why, victim blaming?

Xu Si suddenly got angry. "It's the fairies' freedom to bathe wherever they want. That's not a reason for being peeped at."

Shen Yanchen was startled. "Don't get excited. I was just saying it casually. I just think the water in the reed pond is not clean."

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Xu Si didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Why do I have to marry him just because he stole his clothes? Can't I refuse?"

Su Jinyue had some guesses, "Maybe it's because the cowherd stole the clothes from the Weaver Girl, so he used this to blackmail the Weaver Girl."

In this world, a woman's chastity is extremely important. If they were to encounter such a thing, who knows what would happen.

Lou Yuexin looked at her young daughter, who was beginning to show her beauty, and was a little worried. She then said firmly, "Qinghuan, if you encounter something like this one day, you must not agree to this thief. This is not your fault. You would rather not marry than marry someone with such bad character. Your life will be ruined."

With this understanding, everyone feels that Qixi Festival is a bit off-putting.

I was originally planning to go out and have some fun, but now I’ve given up the idea.
