The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Daughter's Festival, has the custom of admiring the moon every Mid-Autumn Festival since ancient times. The Great Xuan Dynasty is no exception, on this day, each family puts up lanterns, every family sets up a case to worship the moon, especially the unmarried girls are particularly pious, according to legend, Chang'e looks beautiful like a flower in the moon, and the girls worship the moon devoutly, wishing to "look like Chang'e, face like the moon".

In terms of seasonality, the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the harvest season for the grains planted in spring and summer, so the people celebrate the harvest with songs and dances, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

In addition to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Son of Heaven also hopes to set up incense cases with hundreds of officials to pray for peace in the world and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the maids had already gone to rest, and Tong Xiao and Lingfeng were left in the room. Every night, when everyone has rested, their masters and servants have to practice behind closed doors, and after Tong Xiao, who is dressed in white single clothes, finishes practicing, he freshens up and sits in front of the dressing mirror, his hair hangs down on both sides of his shoulders, and the traces of water on his hair have not yet dried.

Looking at the delicate facial features in the mirror, the white and tender skin, and the perfect face, she seems to be like a person in a painting, and her bright eyes make her more aura than the person in the painting. "Master, since you have already recovered your appearance, why do you still dress yourself up like that during the day?" Lingfeng asked puzzled.

It turned out that Tong Xiao had already refined the Jade Muscle Pill after he had risen to the seventh level, which could not only cure all kinds of poisons, but also rejuvenate the skin and keep it young and beautiful. Tong Xiao refined a total of ten, after trying it himself, I didn't expect to receive such an effect, hmph, it seems that some people have failed to give me medicine, if I let them know, will I be mad with anger?

Of course, such a good thing can't forget to enjoy it for his godmother, Tong Xiao put the jade muscle pill in a bowl for the godmother to eat in the bird's nest prepared for the godmother, although the godmother is over fifty years old, and she has not cultivated it, but it still has an effect, but it is not as obvious as Tong Xiao. During this period of time, everyone has clearly seen that the wife of the General's Mansion, Liu, is radiant, the wrinkles on her skin have been significantly reduced, and her skin has become white and tender. Of course, the general who loves his wife like his life is happy, and he can't close his mouth when he sees his wife getting younger and younger.

Such a good pill does not mean that it can be refined every day, and the medicinal materials needed must be the best among the same medicinal materials, so it takes a while to collect these medicinal materials for alchemy. Fortunately, this kind of pill only needs to be taken once a month, and the amount of medicine is still enough for a few months, and it is still possible to collect all the medicinal materials in these months.

"Hehe, what's wrong with being ugly? Is it safe to understand? Tong Xiao heard Lingfeng's words and replied. It's not that she doesn't know that although her beauty looks comfortable and eye-catching, it will bring trouble to herself.

"I don't understand. Doesn't every woman like to look like her own flowers? Who would paint himself so ugly, like the master. "Lingfeng is definitely a complete non-lying in front of his master, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and he will definitely not pretend to understand.

"If you don't understand, forget it, I'm going to sleep, come on, dry my hair." It's good to have a spirit animal, not only can she defend herself, but she can help her dry her hair after washing her hair. Hehehe, in fact, she can do it herself, but it's just one word: lazy.

Lingfeng's cultivation is fire ability, after she exercises, the heat of her palm can dry her hair, but Tong Xiao's courage is still quite big, and she trusts Lingfeng quite a lot, you said that if Lingfeng's energy is not controlled well, if she exerts too much force, will it make her master bald in an instant?

Lingfeng also thought so in her heart, if the master provokes himself one day, I will burn all your hair, and see that you don't go to the nunnery to be a nun. Because of the contract, she didn't dare to think like this at any time, because the master could sense it. Tong wrote that if she dared to make her head feverish, she would strip her feathers and make her a hairless ugly bird forever.

Lingfeng pouted: Master, can you think that I am a woman? Why do you talk like this hooligan?

Tong Xiao: Then it depends on your ability to control, if you dare to lose control, I will lose control.

A good night's dream, early the next morning, as the hostess of the General's Mansion, Liu got up very early to prepare the family's holiday items, Tong Xiao also simply freshened up, went to help, because today to participate in the palace Yan, so their own moon worship activities still have to be held, but in advance.

A lot of things have been prepared a few days in advance, today I just wrapped some gifts, and then instructed the housekeeper to send them all down. The Liu couple treated the people in the house very kindly, and would prepare gifts for each person during the New Year's holiday. Although the gift is simple, the gift is light and affectionate, and the people are all grateful: it is their blessing to meet such a host, so they usually work hard.

In the past, it was packaged by the housekeeper and the grandmothers around the lady, but this time Tong Xiaojian was also attended by her and her godmother, she said that in this way, people will feel more sincere. Today, Tong Xiao personally cooked and made moon cakes with the kitchen cook, there are various flavors, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Great Xuan Dynasty also eats cakes, but the most is only Gong Yanshang, their cakes are all in one shape, the taste is five kernels, sesame flavor, and later there are also folk people, but not everyone can eat such cakes.

Today, the chefs taught the cooks to fry all kinds of flowers and fruits into stuffing and wrap them in the cakes, Tong Xiao and the cooks were busy in the kitchen, and the flour was everywhere, because Tong Xiao had never made so many moon cakes at one time, so it was inevitable that he would be covered with white flour, and even his face was not spared.

Hua Niang and Lingfeng saw the young lady with a cat face, turned their faces sideways and laughed, the kitchen girls could only endure it because of their relatively low status, they didn't dare to laugh, but they held it very hard.

Tong Xiao raised his eyes and saw the two staring at his face and smiling heartlessly, Tong Xiao was not annoyed, secretly grabbed the flour with both hands, pretended to be careless and came to the two, and touched the flour on their faces while they were not paying attention, and the two maids glanced at each other: We were tricked by the young lady/master? Seeing each other's faces, they also picked up flour and touched each other's faces again, and the scene became chaotic.

The cooks went to the three girls to play, and finally couldn't help laughing, and the three girls were even more laughing. When Liu came in, he saw a mess of the kitchen: "Yo, what's wrong?" The grandmother beside Liu asked.

Hearing the sound in front of the door, several struggling girls stopped playing, and the cooks also saluted respectfully to Liu: Madam.

"Child, what are you doing here? It's not too early, are you all ready? Liu is not angry, she is also young, it is normal for children of this age to have such a heart, if it weren't for the fact that she was already old, she would definitely follow them to make trouble, I think I was also a lively girl back then.

"Mother, everything is almost done, hehehehe, it'll be out of the pot later. Wait for the mother to taste it, it's delicious. Tong Xiao patted the flour on his body and face, walked in front of Liu, and Liu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the flour on Tong Xiao's face.

"Look at you cat, why don't you go wash and change your clothes, and then your uncles will come over, and if they see you like this, they won't laugh at you for a month?" Liu's loving smile is small.

"They dare, see that I don't pull off their white beards." Tong Xiao is a girl after all, and she has long known those Shi Bo, and she has been playing together for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to each other's temperament, Shi Bo just likes her lively personality, but Tong Xiao is still measured.

"Look at your uncles who spoil you no longer big or small, they are not the only ones who come, but also their wives and children, you also make people laugh, don't you? Okay, go quickly, let Mama Li take care of the rest here. You two go for a change too. "Liu's proper arrangement is finished.

"Yes." Everybody takes orders.

Mama Li by Liu's side is an old man who has always followed her, and she can be regarded as her confidant, who is careful and steady, and has won the trust of Liu. Usually, Liu also treats Mama Li as an outsider, and he will tell her if he has anything to say, after all, he is a person of the same age and has a common topic. So Mama Li knows her wife very well, and Mrs. said that the old friend of the lord spoils the lady, in her opinion, when it comes to the word spoiling, who else can compete with the lady and the master? If it weren't for the fact that the young lady is also kind-hearted, if it were something else, she would have been spoiled a long time ago.

In the afternoon, the front of the general's mansion began to be lively, and several old urchins and their families came one after another, and before they reached the front hall, they had already heard the shouting and remembered.
