In the city of lakes and mountains, the eyes are full of autumn light. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Yuan and Yun Yang walked straight along the sedge-lined embankment.

In the water by the shoal, a few mallard ducks play with their heads down and chase under the craggy dead leaves. A breeze blows, the autumn water echoes, the blue light ripples, the osmanthus tree on the opposite bank is like a golden banner spreading, floating and moving, a piece of cinnamon fragrance is full of arms.

Zhao Yuan saw that there was a sycamore forest in front of him, and there was a small tea house in the forest, which was quiet and tidy. He walked into the teahouse with Yunyang.

The two sat by the window and asked for a pot of bamboo leaves, ready to rest for a while.

The shops here are already very hospitable, and when they saw Zhao Yuan and Yun Yang, they were handsome and handsome, and they treated each other differently.

Not only did they use the best porcelain at home, but they also brought four homemade mooncakes in black pottery discs.

This kind of home-made moon cake has a very clumsy style, round and bulging, and there is no pattern engraved on it. Just to breathe, cut a cross with a knife on top of the puff pastry.

But Zhao Yuan and Yunyang's eyes were attracted by this plate of moon cakes, because there were four freshly picked flowers with dew on the side of the plate. One by one, they were pressed into a diamond shape.

Yunyang looked at it, and the light in his eyes flashed: "What a chic arrangement, what a delicate flower!" ”

Zhao Yuan saw that there was a cold air between his eyebrows, and he said in a low voice: "What does this flower mean?" Why is it like this? Could it be a code? ”

Yun Yang was amused by his words: "The general is too worried. This is the custom of this place, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is to make hairpins. These four flowers are both flowers and medicines, and hairpins on the head can cure diseases. ”

As she spoke, she picked up a red, orange six-petal flower and held it up in front of Zhao Yuan's eyes: "This flower is called Fengyi, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving cough and reducing phlegm." ”

"The general has had a lot of twists and turns these days because of me, and he hasn't had a good rest. You don't like to drink water, and you already had some cough yesterday, so hairpins are the best. ”

As he spoke, Yunyang stood up and walked to his side, carefully inserting the phoenix wings on the edge of Zhao Yuan's black yarn folding scarf.

After the hairpin was finished, Yunyang took a few steps back and looked at it carefully.

Outside the half-rolled bamboo curtain, the grass is green, and the weeping willows are like smoke. Zhao Yuan sat by the window, under the translucent black gauze scarf, there were sideburns with a clear outline like a knife cut.

The two sword eyebrows on the pale face stood with majesty, and the deep and slender eyes were like the bottom of a secluded pool, elusive. He was wearing a brown robe of rabbit fur and brown in a flowery rock, and his skeletal right hand was half-clenched into a fist on the table, and two protruding green tendons were winding on the back of his hand.

His whole person exudes a domineering and clear atmosphere, like a mountain rock with cold dew before dawn, but the phoenix wings on the sideburns are unparalleled and charming for a while, and they are half-open and half-closed.

Compared with the two phases, the more Zhao Yuan sat there with an indescribable vigor and strength, strong and majestic.

Yunyang couldn't help but smile down.

Zhao Yuan was a little embarrassed when he saw her expression. He took off the phoenix wings casually: "What is a big man doing with flowers, you think it's funny." ”

Yun Yang didn't speak, sat back at the table, picked up the moon cake, broke it, and handed it half to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "I've never liked sweets. ”

Yunyang didn't let him anymore. After walking for an afternoon, I happened to be hungry in my stomach, so with tea, Yunyang ate the whole mooncake.

Although the filling of this moon cake is only a vegetarian red bean, it is very finely ground, melts in the mouth, and has a fine taste, which seems to be a little more delicious than that in the palace.

Seeing that Yunyang was still a little unsatisfied after eating the moon cakes, the expression on Zhao Yuan's face softened, as if he had tasted it himself.

He called the store to give a reward, and by the way, he asked for a piece of butter paper to wrap the remaining three mooncakes and put them on his body.

When he was about to leave, Yunyang saw that the other three flowers in the black pottery plate were still lying in the place, and he was pitiful.

Remembering that he came out of the palace without a hairpin ring, Yunyang put the remaining three flower hairpins on his head.

Today, she combed her bun, inserted a red spicy flower and a pink and purple iris in the back of the bun, and inserted an acacia branch diagonally on the side of the bun.

After the hairpin was finished, she walked to Zhao Yuan's side, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a smile: "How does the general think of my hairpin?" ”

Zhao Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the flower on Yunyang's head. I saw that her cicada temples were fluffy like smoke, and a few flowers were strong and fragrant. Between Yunyang's breaths, a sweet and silky smell of bean paste swirled.

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhao Yuan's eyes. He quickly looked away: "Let's go quickly, it's getting dark." ”

Out of the teahouse, the two of them walked slowly to the inn along the way they came.

At this time, the sky was already a fiery red sunset haze, dyeing the high terraces of the buildings on the street into rouge. The river on the bank of the embankment was covered with waves, and a thin layer of smoke rose in the ethereal clouds. Waterfowl live on a sandbar in the middle of the river.

A bowl-sized blue-tailed butterfly fluttered its glittering wings, fluttered from a distance, circled around Yunyang a few times, and finally landed on the acacia flower on her head.

Just when Zhao Yuan and Yunyang were surprised, a team of people ran over panting, led by a white-faced scholar about twenty years old.

This person has a long body, beautiful eyebrows, white teeth and red lips. He was dressed in a lake-blue satin gown with a carnation embroidered with colored threads on the hem of his clothes. He behaves elegantly, acts decently, and is really a beautiful son.

The scholar saw that the blue-tailed emerald butterfly was still flapping its wings on Yunyang's head, falling in love with the acacia flower on the sideburns, and refused to leave. So he took a few steps and came to her. Just as he was about to hug his fists, he saw Yunyang's bright smile, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw this beautiful woman in front of me, not only with unparalleled appearance in the world, but also with a calm and gentle expression, and had a romantic attitude between her gestures.

The scholar was choked up for a while, but soon he controlled his emotions and bowed to Yunyang deeply: "My name is Xie Tangchen." Caidie chose Miss as tonight's Moon Palace Jiao'e. ”

"Please also ask the young lady to move to the flower cart and lay down the flower clouds, so that everyone can step on the moon."

After listening to the scholar's words, Yunyang already understood his intentions.

It turns out that there is a custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Northland, that is, the female dependents of the family have to walk together in the moonlight with flowers in their hands on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, until the moon sets, which is called stepping on the moon.

In order to prevent separation, this moon-stepping team should be led by a talented man on a horse, followed by a Nanmu potpourri car decorated with colorful silk, and the beauty sitting on the car is called Yuegong Jiao'e.

After the car that Jiao'e of the Moon Palace was riding, it was the official crowd of people who stepped on the moon.

The trip to the moon is an annual event, so it is highly valued. The talents who lead the moon walking team are young talents selected by the local gentry, and the moon palace Jiao'e is selected by the talents.

It seems that this year's method of pink butterflies is used, that is, a pink butterfly is released, and whichever girl falls on the head, this girl will serve as the Moon Palace Jiao'e.
