The Cold Food Festival used to be the first major festival day for the people! Before the Qingming Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the development of later generations, customs such as sacrificial sweeping, stepping on the green, swinging, kicking, hooking, and egg fighting were gradually added. The current Winter Food Festival is for young people to go out, swing, stumble, paint, compose poems, and write! Regardless of birth, high or low, men and women, young and old, can participate!

The Cold Food Festival is also the most casual day, where men and women can sit on the same occasion without being afraid of it, without being separated by screens, and sitting opposite each other. This is also an important reason why the participants are so motivated.

When she was in Yizhou, Yu Nianniang never participated in any activities because of her health. Occasionally, when she goes out, she just finds a secluded teahouse with a few familiar girls to drink tea and eat snacks, and she will not participate in lively days like the Cold Food Festival.

The first time I participated in the Cold Food Festival, it was still in Taiyuan Mansion, and Mother Sun and Linglong were excited and excited.

Two days early, I began to prepare the clothes that Yu Nianniang was wearing.

Mother Sun thinks that Yu Nianniang should dress up dignified and graceful, so that she will be looked highly by Mrs. Wei. And Linglong thinks that Yu Nianniang is already beautiful and has good skin, and she always appeared in front of everyone with a light image of clear soup in the past, so this time she should choose bright clothes, which will be glamorous and eye-catching.

The two found Yu Nianniang several times and asked her to come up with an idea. Yu Nianniang smiled lightly every time: "Whatever! ”

However, when that day came, she wouldn't listen to anyone's idea, and still chose her favorite clothes to wear.

Mother Sun and Linglong finally knew that no one could change what Yu Nianniang decided, and since then, the two have honestly done things for Yu Nianniang. As long as Yu Nianniang decides something, no matter how difficult it is, the two of them will work hard to complete it. If anyone objected, the two of them would also work together and swear to stand on Yu Nianniang's side.

Of course, that's all for later!

The Winter Food Festival in Thai Nguyen Province is held in the western suburbs paddock.

The western suburbs enclosure covers an area of 1,000 acres, very vast, and is connected with a patch of mountains behind it, rolling and undulating, with no end in sight.

In the hunting grounds of the previous dynasty, whenever high-ranking officials came to Taiyuan Mansion, local officials would organize hunting and let them have fun. In order to increase the excitement, there are also many wild beasts in the forests of the back mountains. However, on one occasion, due to negligence in prevention, a tiger appeared in the mountains, injuring many people and killing family members of officials. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a ban on hunting in the paddock, believing that the wild beasts in the western suburbs were terrifying and ferocious, and he was afraid that the beasts would rush out of the paddock and hurt the people. Later, the imperial court organized guards to go into the mountains to kill wild beasts.

The imperial court was afraid that there would be fish that slipped through the net, so they enclosed the entire enclosure and did not allow anyone to enter, and it was abandoned for decades, until the emperor ascended the throne, and someone handed the emperor a fold, saying that the vacant enclosure in the western suburbs was somewhat wasteful, and could be used for the annual cold food festival.

Therefore, in recent years, the cold food festival in Taiyuan Mansion has been carried out in the western suburbs enclosure.

This year's Winter Food Festival was organized by Lee. Although the Cold Food Festival is casual to play, there are many people who participate, and there are always some arrangements.

Wei Hongshan made meritorious contributions, and got the emperor's jade house in the capital, and Mrs. Wei got the four-grade order! When the Wei Mansion was in the scenery, the Li family organized the Cold Food Festival, and most people were very face-saving. Therefore, in addition to the girls and young masters from all provinces, the ladies will also go to cheer.

On the third day of the fourth month, the carriages of various provinces took to the streets one after another, and the various carriages on the street slowly headed towards the western suburbs.

Fortunately, the enclosure in the western suburbs is very large, and the guard post has also specially dispatched manpower to patrol the vicinity to maintain order and prevent people from messing up.

At the beginning, in order to change the paddock to the special use of the Cold Food Festival, Taiyuan Mansion Yin specially asked people to renovate the paddock.

The whole enclosure is divided into three parts, a racecourse, a keju field, and the other half is a banquet hall, a place for people to rest, drink tea, and taste desserts, and you can also chant poems, make pairs, paint, play the piano, etc.

Kemari and the racecourse were only lightly built, and only the banquet hall was carefully refined.

The whole paddock not only built a gravel road along the road, but also built a few exquisite pavilions for people to rest, and replanted some leafy and beautiful trees in the paddock.

The fly in the ointment is that there are too few flowers and plants, but this is more suitable for the heroic and wanton drinking and drinking tea in the paddock! Different from the garden with flowers and birds on weekdays, it makes the Winter Food Festival even more different.

The girls who have been in the boudoir and abide by the rules of etiquette can only play as much as they want during the Winter Food Festival.

When Yu Nianniang and a few people arrived, there were already people coming and going in the paddock, lively field, and the sound of road hooves continued!

Linglong and Mother Sun were amazed, Taiyuan Mansion is really different, and there is no such grand scene in Yizhou!

When you enter the paddock, you don't need to be guided, and you can find the banquet hall by sound.

Keju field, horse farm, banquet hall three places with a high wall to build apart, next to the wall and a row of wooden stakes, seemingly simple and rough materials, but carved on a variety of complex and vivid patterns, exquisite techniques, patterns vivid!

Yu Nianniang observed, in addition to carving a variety of different flowers and plants, animal figures, the most complex is the Nine Heavens Xuannu picture.

The banquet hall is also very well decorated. Compared to the empty horse farms and Kemari fields, the banquet hall is particularly elegant and warm.

The wooden stakes standing against the wall have become creepers, and there are many small flowers and grasses on the roadside, and many beautiful potted plants have been placed, which shows that Li is very troubled this time.

When Yu Nianniang followed Kang's into the banquet hall, the venue was already full of warblers and swallows!

Today, you don't have to stick to the old rules.

Kang walked towards the wives who could talk.

Fu Jinxue has participated in the Cold Food Festival many times, and she is already very familiar with it, so she threw a sentence to Yu Nianniang: "My cousin has not participated in the Cold Food Festival, so I have to have fun today!" Then he took the maid ring and left.

Yu Nianniang stood in place and looked around the venue. She really wanted to know how Li came up with it!

In the center of the field is placed a large circular table, on which all kinds of pastries, snacks, fruits, preserved fruits, and fine wines are not only beautiful, the aroma is overflowing, even the snacks are decorated with small plates painted with red lacquer and gold.

There is no small table under the circular table, one table is only for one person to sit, and a cushion next to it, so that the next person can kneel and serve.

At the Cold Food Festival, regardless of status, men and women, old and young, choose to sit at will.

The organizers sit at the front of the room, so they can see the whole venue at a glance.

Whoever wants to eat can take a plate and pick out their favorite snack and put it on the plate, or pour a glass of their favorite wine and bring it to the table below.

It's a lot like a modern cocktail party!

However, here is not to pick up dim sum by yourself, but by the people around you to pick up dim sum and then bring it to their master.

Yu Nianniang was surprised!
