No matter which dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for the people, and the Xia Dynasty is no exception. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sitting in the carriage, watching the people coming and going in the market, Zhang Xiuer pointed all the way, and Shen Yueran talked and laughed all the way, forgetting the haze of the past few days for a while.
The two went to Wu's house in the north of the city first.
After knocking on the door, it was Shen who came to open the door.
Shen Yueran handed the burden to Shen Chong, and Shen Chong couldn't wait to take out a shortbread and nibble on it.
"Why didn't you go to school today?"
It's only been two months, and it seems that he's grown a little taller again.
Shen Zhong said while eating, "This is the holiday, Mr. let us go home and write silently." ”
Shen Yueran responded, "What about my brother and sister-in-law?" ”
"I heard my father say that the Zhou family is full of gold and worships the moon today, hey, it seems to be in the suburbs of Beijing, not far from my aunt's residence. Dad doesn't have to start work, he goes to his grandfather's house with his mother to have a look. ”
"Oh."
Shen Yueran responded.
The Xia Dynasty has the tradition of worshipping the moon, and the imperial court and the government will set up altars in the moon worship towers and moon-gazing pavilions in various places during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that the people can worship the moon and pray for blessings and enjoy the moon. And some large families will also set up their own altars, perform sacrifices, sing sacrificial songs, distribute free melons, fruits and shortbreads, and do good deeds. There is a raised flat land in the middle of the suburbs of Beijing and the capital, with a wide field of vision and convenient transportation, and over time it has become the first choice for many families to worship the moon, and is given the name of the moon worship hall. Shen Yueran had known about this for a long time, but she was not interested. Zhang Xiuer's belly is getting bigger, and it is not suitable to go to crowded places, but she is not happy to sit around and eat a hot pot at home.
She didn't say anything more, explained to Shen Zhong how to drink osmanthus wine, and was about to leave.
"Auntie, why didn't Master Wei come?"
Shen called out to her.
"He-"
Shen Yueran was slightly stunned and said, "He went out on official business, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Zhong smiled honestly, "It's nothing. Didn't Lord Wei make a two-year contract with me last time and asked me to write silently. It's only been two months, and I'm familiar with Zengguang Xianwen. If I see Master Wei, I want to ask him to hear it. ”
The heavy eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.
Shen Yueran felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, if he knew, he would be very proud. Because Chong'er is his apprentice in the picture, he is not mistaken.
She said with relief, "That's good." The next time you see him, you recite it to him, and he will be very happy. ”
"Yes."
Shen wiped the crumbs all over his face and grinned.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is high and refreshing. Zhang Xiuer said that the carriage was bumpy and uncomfortable, so it was better to walk, and Shen Yueran had nothing to do, so the two of them walked along the alley to the market.
This road is not close, it is close to noon when she walks to the market, Zhang Xiu'er is slightly panting, Shen Yueran is afraid that she will be tired and hurt the fetal gas, so she suggested, "Xiu'er, why don't we find a restaurant to eat something first, and then go to the cloth village to buy cloth after eating?" There are many restaurants here, and it is only about ten steps away from Buzhuang. ”
After Zhang Xiuer agreed, Shen Yueran chose a restaurant called "Lu Wei Fang".
Shandong cuisine is characterized by saltiness and freshness, and is famous for its fragrance, freshness and tenderness, and mellow taste, and has the reputation of "one dish and one taste, and one hundred vegetables are not heavy", and it is one of its major characteristics to prepare with broth. Zhang Xiu'er has a heavier taste after pregnancy, and Shen Yueran feels that Lu cuisine, which attaches importance to nutrition, rich ingredients, and has a fresh and fragrant taste, should be suitable for her.
The duo ordered three dishes and a main dish, namely Kung Pao Chicken, Pu Cai in Milk Soup, Braised Pomfret and Pansi Cake, plus two servings of white porridge.
It is estimated that it is related to the festival, there are many guests in the restaurant, and it is the time of the meal, the kitchen and the second child are very busy, and the voices of watching, urging, checkout, and shouting come and go, and they are chaotic.
Waiting for the food, Zhang Xiu'er was tired, leaned down on the table to take a nap, and Shen Yueran looked bored.
After a while, the originally chaotic restaurant suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the curtain that had been lifted.
Walking in were three women who were all about sixteen or seventeen, gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and at first glance they knew that they were young ladies from rich and noble families.
Xiao Er nodded and bowed, and welcomed the three women to sit behind the screen that had been prepared a long time ago.
This point can also reserve a seat, which shows that the origin of the three women is extraordinary.
Everyone had their own eyes, and after looking at it for a while, they felt that there was nothing to see, and after a while, the restaurant resumed its previous chaos.
Shen Yueran only glanced at it, and after recognizing one of the women, she turned her gaze to the other side.
Wang Yaxin.
Wang Yaxin, who once tried to use her as her witness, was finally exposed by Wei Yi.
The daughter of the head of the ministry.
It's no wonder that restaurants deliberately reserve seats and serve private rooms.
Listening to Wei Yi, she was once punished with hard labor, and it seems that she has been released now.
She pretended to look out the window until the three of them were seated behind the screen, and then turned back.
She probably didn't want to see herself.
Shen Yueran thought so.
The dishes came up quickly, she had dinner with Zhang Xiu'er, and walked out of the restaurant.
Just as he was about to walk towards Buzhuang, the curtain of a carriage parked on the side of the road was lifted.
"Miss Shen."
A soft, soft voice called softly.
Shen Yueran followed the prestige, Wang Yaxin!?
Hey, isn't she in a restaurant?
Wang Yaxin stepped out of the carriage, walked towards Shen Yueran, and said softly, "Miss Shen, it's a coincidence, there are many people in the restaurant, and it is inconvenient to greet you, so I have to change my clothes and wait for you." ”
She said with a smile, as if she was facing an old friend who had known each other for many years.
Zhang Xiuer really thought that the two knew each other, so she pointed to Shen Yueran, waved her hand, pointed to the restaurant, made a "wait" gesture, and then left alone.
******
Shen Yueran sat straight on the Wang family's carriage, her eyes not knowing where to look.
In this way, Wang Yaxin had already seen that she was pretending not to see her?
She felt embarrassed.
Wang Yaxin didn't seem to mind, and opened the topic first.
"That happy woman is Miss Shen's relative?"
Shen Yueran shook her head, "No, it's a friend, and they currently live together." ”
Wang Yaxin let out an "oh" and asked, "So the little girl who lived with Miss Shen before was Miss Shen's relative?" ”
Shen Yueran shook her head again, "Not really." ”
A hint of envy flashed in Wang Yaxin's eyes.
"Miss Shen is so happy, with so many good sisters by her side."
Shen Yueran glanced at her and said in her heart, don't you also have many good sisters? There was Yun Yong Yaxu before, and there were two women who followed together.
Wang Yaxin seemed to see through her thoughts, and explained, "The two people in the restaurant are relatives in the clan, and today they want to wash my bad luck and bring me here to eat the signature braised elbow here." ”
Shen Yueran sighed in her heart, there are indeed such exquisiteness in some places, and those who have experienced right and wrong and are safe in the end, they have to eat elbows or elbow noodles to clear the bad luck.
"But I don't like to eat elbows, greasy, and not good for the mouth." Wang Yaxin frowned.
"I like to eat light and refreshing things, and when I used to go to Jinlan Pavilion in Yunru, she understood my taste, and always instructed the cook to mix some refreshing cold dishes, such as lettuce, radish, cabbage, and lotus root...... Xu Rong always makes fun of me for being a rabbit. ”
She reminisced about the past, a smile on her lips.
