  "Sixteen sisters, guess what's going on?" Mo Ningrou smiled sweetly and cutely, while other book friends looked on normally.

  Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "You really think I'm a god, Fourteenth Sister, don't be mysterious, tell me."

  "Sixteen sister, do you know what day is May 5th?" Mo Ning Rou asked.

  The three words "Dragon Boat Festival" rolled around on Mo Qingchen's tongue, but he bit them back and didn't say them out loud. Heaven knows if there's still a Dragon Boat Festival in this time and space, but he remembered that last year on May 5th, he seemed to have eaten zongzi sent by the big kitchen.

  "Qīng chén, you really are too focused on cultivation, even I know that May 5th is Girls' Day! Bookworms also like to read:" Tiger Head said with a clap of his hands.

  "Girls' Day?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  Mo Ning Rou nodded and said, "Yes, every year on that day, every household eats zongzi. I heard my mother say that ordinary people's daughters will take the zongzi they packed themselves to the banks of Yingxia River, throw the bamboo basket containing zongzi into the river, and pray for a perfect marriage. Then they can boat on Yingxia River and laugh with their close friends. After noon, many young men will come to Yingxia River and compete to fish with fishing rods. If they catch a bamboo basket with zongzi inside, it's a very good omen."

  "Is it really fun?" Mo Qingchen had never heard of this custom before. It turned out that the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated in such a way in this time and space.

  "Yes, I've also heard that some girls would carve their names on the bamboo baskets, and if a man picked it up, it could lead to a beautiful story." Mo Ning Ruo continued.

  Mo Qingchen's smile froze: "Fourteenth sister, did Eleventh Aunt also say this to you?"

  Mo Ning Rou's face turned slightly red as she pursed her lips, saying in a low voice: "Mother wouldn't tell me these things, I just happened to hear Green Qin and the other maids mention them."

  "Fourteenth sister, you've come to find me. You wouldn't be here to celebrate the Daughter's Festival, would you? As nuns, we don't need to observe such worldly holidays, do we?" Mo Qingchen asked, having been here for two years and never seeing them celebrate these festivals before.

  Mo Ning Rou said with a sneer: "Sixteen sister, you really are single-minded in your cultivation, and have not heard anything outside the window. Our four families of cultivators have lived in Luoyang City for a long time. Except for a very small number of cultivators, the vast majority are ordinary people. Daily life is naturally no different from that of mortals, it's just that our Mo family, the patriarch grandfather is afraid that the worldly temptations will disturb our minds, so he has made our food and drink, daily life and cultivation all take place in the inner courtyard, and we are not allowed to go out casually. In fact, other families, such as the Ouyang family, I've heard that their cultivators often move about in the mortal world."

  "Hmph, what other household? I often see Eighth Brother sneaking out to play in secret."

  Born into the world, all are cultivation. The two family heads have different views, and it's hard to say who is right or wrong. In Mo Qingchen's opinion, only after experiencing the seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world can one's heart jump out of the red dust and have a more solid foundation. Book fans also like to read: Just - at least first have the power to protect oneself before talking about entering the world, she doesn't want to be involved in worldly disputes again.

  Mo Qingchu was silent and didn't speak, Mo Jingrou stretched out her hand to push her and said: "Sixteen sister, this time you don't want to go but you have no choice."

  "What did you say?" Mo Qingchen blinked his eyes.

  "Thirteen Aunt is getting married. After marrying, she will leave the Mo family. I heard from Mother that our Mo family has not had a wedding celebration for a long time. So, the clan specially allowed Thirteen Aunt to spend Girls' Day with us together, which is a farewell before her marriage." Mo Qingrou said slowly.

  So that's how it is!

  Even if it's a cultivator, especially in this kind of immortal family, marriage is extremely encouraged, because the combination of male and female cultivators can greatly increase the chances of giving birth to descendants with spiritual roots. If one gives birth to a child with excellent qualifications, it may be the hope for the rise of a family.

  Before Mo's daughter got married, she took the girls out for one last Girls' Day, which sounds quite warm and fuzzy.

  Mo Qingchen thought of this and asked Hu Tou with a mischievous glint in his eye, "Hu Tou, are you also going to celebrate Girls' Day?"

  Hutou's face turned slightly red as Mo Qingchen asked, and he said loudly with some annoyance: "Why can't I go? Later on, Ba Ge and the others will still go!"

  Mo Qingchen glanced at Mo Ningrou, who smiled and said: "Yes, Mother said that the aunts will prepare zongzi for the 13th aunt. At that time, we girls will all go. As for Hu Tou and the others, they can go if they want to, or not go if they don't want to."

  It's clear that Mo Qingyu, who lives in the Mo Manor, is looking forward to this festival. When Mo Qingchen heard that everyone would be attending, he naturally wouldn't be a loner and readily agreed to join in.

  May 5th is the day after tomorrow, and on May 4th, several sisters-in-law of Mo You's generation made zongzi with their own hands and put them in special bamboo baskets.

  To know that the zongzi they made is different from those made by ordinary people, glutinous rice is used with spiritual grains, and the water and fire used are all transformed by magic. The finished zongzi contains a hint of spiritual energy, fragrant and refreshing, and if an ordinary person is lucky enough to get it, eating it can strengthen their body, eliminate hundreds of diseases, and accumulate blessings for Mo You, wishing her a beautiful marriage.

  By the early morning of May 5th, Mo Qingchen was still washing up when he heard a knock at the door.

  Mo Danyan smiled and said: "Grandfather go open the door, Yunzhi, today give your family's young lady a good dressing up, don't let others surpass you."

  "Grandpa." Mo Qingchen helplessly shouted, thinking to himself: You must be going to a beauty pageant or something, on a day like today it's bound to be crowded, and if you dress up too nicely who knows how miserable you'll look in the crowd.

  Yun Chi responded with a crisp and clear "yes".

  Facing the crystal mirror, Mo Qingchen saw Yun Zhi's delicate white fingers flying nimbly, and soon her full head of black hair was styled into a lively and charming butterfly bun.

  After being together for a long time, Yun Chi was familiar with Mo Qingchen's temperament. She only picked up a pair of peach blossom hairpins from the jewelry box and inserted them among her hair, which matched interestingly with the blue pearl flower on her hair.

  "Miss, please change your clothes quickly." Yunzhi turned around and brought out a stack of neatly folded new clothes. With a flick of her hand, the clothes unfolded like moonlight pouring out.

  A moon-white dress with a skirt that blooms with large peach flowers, from bottom to top the color gradually fades, eventually disappearing at the waist.

  Yunzhi has a great eye for matching clothes and accessories. Mo Qingchen coordinated with her to wear them, and they went out together.

  "Qing Chen, you're really slow!" Hu Tou was also wearing new clothes, and when he didn't speak, he looked like the golden boy in front of Guanyin's temple, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was discovered that a pair of big door teeth were missing.

  Jian Mo Qingchen stared at his mouth again, and Hu Tou's face turned fierce: "Qingchen, what are you looking at!"

  Mo Qingchen was trying to hold back her laughter, as the seven-year-old Hu Tou had already started losing his baby teeth. She and Mo Ning Ruo had lost theirs early, and at that time, they hadn't been spared from this guy's teasing. Now it was his turn, and naturally, they wouldn't be polite either.

  Mo Ning Rou's attention was on Mo Qing Chen's new clothes: "Sixteen sister, your new clothes look great."

  Mo Qingchen smiled and pouted her lips, nodding at Yunzhi: "It's all because of Sister Yunzhi's instigation."

  Mo Ning Rou glanced at the maid Green Qin behind her and said, "Sister Green Qin, you and Yunzhi sister have been in contact with each other many times, how come you didn't learn this skill?"

  Luqin pretended to be angry and said: "If Miss is dissatisfied with Luqin's clumsiness, then let the sixteenth miss take Yunzhi away."

  Mo Ning Rou covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "It's just that I'm willing, but Sixteen also can't bear to part with me."

  The three men each brought their personal attendants and walked out smiling, gathering in the front hall with everyone else.

  Mo Qingchen didn't expect that Fourteenth Uncle was also there; seeing her come in, he gave her a faint smile.

  Thirteen aunts don't worry, today is also in a good mood, with a smile on her face, only wearing a dress that is convenient for walking, somewhat similar to military uniform, looking heroic and majestic.

  The only ones from the previous generation were Thirteen Aunt and Fourteen Uncle, while several girls of the same generation were present, but Mo Xiaosi was noticeably absent, yet within everyone's expectations.

  Mo Qingchen noticed that as soon as they entered, Yun Zhi secretly greeted Yun Shan, who was standing behind Mo Feiyan. It seemed like it had been some time since the two sisters had seen each other.

  Nowadays Yun Shan has grown into a lovely young girl with a yellow dress, which makes her look even more gentle and charming.

  Everyone was ready, and each girl received a delicate bamboo basket. They followed Mo You out of the Mo Manor gate, each carrying their own basket.

  Mo Ning Ruo and Mo Yu Qi's faces were filled with excitement, their expressions overflowing with joy. Mo Ran Yi tried her best to put on a nonchalant expression, but her eyes couldn't help wandering around everywhere. Only Mo Fei Yan, still dressed in white, had no expression on his face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

  Arrived at the banks of the Yingxia River, as expected, it was crowded with people, mostly young women, fragrant and beautiful, competing in beauty, occasionally someone would solemnly dip their bamboo basket into the river, laughter filled the air, truly a genuine Girls' Day.

  Mo Qingchen found that Fourteenth Uncle still had a calm expression, neither being dazzled by the messy flowers nor feeling uncomfortable because he was a man.

  "Come on, let's go by the river and put down the bamboo basket." Mo You beckoned.

  Fourteenth Uncle stood with several boys at the original place, smiling as he watched several girls throw baskets into the clear but bottomless river like ordinary girls, and then everyone boarded a painted barge together.

  The river is very wide, with painted boats and small boats coming and going, but not crowded. In the afternoon, more and more young men came to fish by the river.

  Mo Qingchen and the others were having a great time on the painted barge, drinking wine and admiring the scenery through the windows. As it got more lively on the river, they couldn't help but run out and lean against the railing of the barge to soak in the festive atmosphere.

  Several maidservants were hiding at the back of the boat, chatting and laughing, Mo Qingchen and others didn't bother them either, it was a rare relaxation, being carefree was the best.

  But little did they expect that at this moment the boat shook, and the river water below was like a startled beast, roaring and ravaging the painting boat. Then a column of water rose into the air, like an inverted waterfall, tens of feet high, as if it were connected to the clouds in the sky.

  Cries of surprise rose and fell, with one woman's shriek standing out in particular.

  Mo Qingchen's expression changed, it was Yun Zhi's sister Yun Shan's voice.

  Just as he reacted, a white shadow flew towards the back of the boat like a startled swan.
