Ah Xiu thought about it and ordered "The Drunken Concubine" and "Chang'e Running to the Moon", which can be regarded as the occasion. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Xu Da and others each clicked out, and let the stage sing slowly. During the banquet, the cup was changed, and Ah Xiu's face turned crimson from drinking, which provoked Zhu Yuanzhang to add a little love. After drinking a few more laps, Ah Xiu walked to the women's banquet to toast, Hui Lan was faint and did not look at Ah Xiu, but Lian'er covered it up for her, and Ah Xiu did not delve into it, but she couldn't help but look down on Hui Lan a little more.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Ah Xiu called Su Xin and instructed: "Later, the sacrifice to the moon, the fruit cake must be as round as possible, and the watermelon should be cut into a lotus shape as in previous years." I read the moonlight paper in the morning, and the cut is good, but the moon image painted is not clear enough, but that's it. On the contrary, the Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus flower is very exquisitely drawn. Since this year's pattern is the Moon Wheel Gui Hall and the Rabbit Pounding Elixir, it will be this year in the future. Let people move the case to the moonlight position for the time being. Everything else should be prepared in advance, so that there will be no chaos. Su Xin wrote everything down, and Ah Xiu got a gap to be lazy.

After each table was finished, Ah Xiu made up her makeup and assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to gather everyone to walk to the altar in the middle, ready to invite Zhu Yuanzhang to sacrifice the moon. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said with a smile: "In previous years, I was in the army, and I never sacrificed, but now my wife does it for me." Everyone also agreed, Ah Xiu thought about it, and calmly responded: "The prince and the guests are reunited on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now I will live in this main sacrifice!" Please don't laugh. ”

So Shi Shiran walked to the sacrificial table set up in the direction of the moonrise, facing the statue of the moon god hanging in front of the case (that is, the moonlight paper mentioned above), and took the moon cakes, sacrificial wine, watermelons cut into lotus shapes, washed grapes, kumquats, various dried fruits and other poultry eggs and other foods handed by the people as sacrificial offerings, and carefully paid homage to the case. He also lit two red candles himself, and placed a small incense burner and three wine cups. Since Ah Xiu is the chief priest, all the affairs are assigned by her, so she condensed and said loudly: "The former dynasty is still left, and the Yuan dynasty is still right, but the Yuan Dynasty does not treat the Han people as people, and we naturally don't need to abide by their etiquette. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Madame's opinion is very much in line with my heart, our Da Wu is the Da Wu of the Han people, and we are not treated with the patriarchal law of the Yuan Dynasty, now the men stand on the left with me, and the women stand with my side concubines!" Huilan and Lian'er and the other side rooms saw Ah Xiu so cautious and respectful, and the prince strongly supported her opinion, and there were distinguished guests in the house, and they were all solemn and obedient. As soon as Qiē was about to stop, Ah Xiu burned incense, took out the moon sacrifice text that was originally prepared for Zhu Yuanzhang, and recited:

"Jiachen mid-autumn, night with songs: tonight the moon is bright, clear and vast. The sun is in the air, and the moon is not young. Looking at the Toad Palace from afar, his head is pale and yellow. The transformation of clouds and sunshines, ** eight wildernesses. The change of the circle and the lack of hope. Ice heart jade, chrysanthemum cinnamon incense. Shine brightly in the world, shining in all directions. The hope of the nine skies, the hometown of heavy clouds. Pounding medicine spirit rabbit, cutting Gui Wu Gang. The sea of clouds is blowing, clear and cold like frost. The clear is long, and the turbidity is the soup soup. Good days and fine wines feast on the moon to enhance the terrace and the group. Fuguang is in the east coast, and Ruoying is in the west. Guanghan's Lang Yuan, it is better to drink wine on the moon. ”

"The bright moon is bright, and Hu is not affectionate. What is the lack of time, what is the profit tonight? Now the world is a phantom, and the world is hidden in the invisible. Brought the canopy out of Qiongtai and invited Chang'e to enter the Xuanting. Autumn twilight and sunset, there are chrysanthemums. The sun returns to the yang, and the moon stays in the yin spirit. Soft as snow condensation, round as a water mirror. Mu Fairy Ke Xiaoqu, envy the dedication of the goddess. Light as frost, whisk ice. The five lakes are cold and the waves are cold, and the tides and frost crystals of the four seas are poured. The moon is rising, and the stars are waiting for the world. All things that are vaporized are only people. The gods of the monthly offerings, but the spirit is sincere. Panic and prayer, in this court. Looks at all the forces and turbidities in the world, but Si has never harbored personal feelings because of wealth and poverty. ”

"The universe is created, the sun and the moon are bright. Spring polyester willow silk, summer lotus heart, autumn chrysanthemum frost, winter plum ice. The farmer waits for the season, and the vast sea and the tide are sound. According to the thousands of young and old, take the holy name of a hundred generations. Looking at the moon, the void is just like the infinity of heaven and earth. The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. The poet invites the moon and walks with songs. ”

"Today's sacrifice to the moon, Zhou to make a ceremony, please lay in the king. Place the temple, with the Hou Hou, the sacrifice of the sacrifice, the system of the text. Weiwu Dawu Jiangshan will be inherited for hundreds of generations, prosperous for thousands of years, and prosperous for all generations. I wish to brush the fairy robe again, and vow to revitalize the etiquette again. Khan Qing Yongji, the death of the Great Song Dynasty. Salute heaven and earth. Pray for the prosperity of my Great Wu country, and pray for Sven. I would like to recommend the spirit of Taiyin, and worship Si. Vovi Shang feast! ”

After the sacrificial text was finished, Ah Xiu led everyone to worship the moon, burned the moonshine paper, removed the food offered, and distributed it to everyone in the courtyard, even the most poor house slaves in the house each shared a little. In addition, he ordered someone to take out the moon cakes and moon fruits that had been prepared and selected in advance during the day and gave them to everyone. Some of the breads that were given to the important ministers were as large as two feet in diameter. Everyone accepted the gift and smiled. Ah Xiu reminded the prince again, let everyone disperse early to see the lights, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, and naturally agreed.

The guests were ordered to disperse and go home, but Zhu Yuanzhang stuck to Ah Xiu, no matter where Ah Xiu went, he followed carefully, and refused to leave anywhere. Ah Xiu smiled and complained: "What does the prince always do with his concubines, these things have to be put away by me, if the prince is tired, I will let Ying'er help you go back and sleep first, okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as red as a ripe apple, he smirked to himself, and he didn't go back to the room, he was still sticky, Ah Xiu had no choice, so he could only let him.

After Ah Xiu was busy for a while, he turned around and looked again, but Yuan Zhang was gone, and he still said in his heart that he had gone back first, and he didn't care. After more than half an hour, Ah Xiu completely dealt with the stop, and when he returned to the room, he didn't see Yuanzhang, Ah Xiu was also puzzled, and beckoned Su Xin to ask, Su Xin also said that he had never seen it, and then asked Ying'er, but he didn't know, Ah Xiu muttered: Where did this guy go? said that after the moon festival, I talked all night, and now I drink too much cat urine, and the person is gone?

was muttering, saw Cheng Huan and Mei Xiang playing with lanterns under the eaves, Ju Yun was watching from the side, but her eyes were dodging to herself, and she called her over unhappily: "Look at it, what are you doing sneaking at me?" Mei Xiang saw that Ah Xiu's face was displeased, and hurriedly said: "I saw the princess in his mouth before, but he was helped by Mrs. Huilan to go to her courtyard. I felt strange in my heart, and I didn't dare to ask, so I secretly looked at the princess. ”
