In ancient times,

Tanabata is a big festival.

It is also known as the "Begging Festival", "Daughter's Festival", "Book Festival" and so on.

The Qixi Festival began in ancient times, popularized in the Western Han Dynasty, and flourished in the Song Dynasty.

For example, he was popularized in Western Chu and flourished in the current dynasty.

However, in this era of relatively single entertainment, many activities have also been derived.

For example, worshipping the Weaver Girl, this activity, generally between relatives and friends, or between good neighbors, is about ten people.

On the day of Qixi Festival, a table is set up under the moonlight, and offerings such as tea, wine, fruits, and five sons (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, and melon seeds) are placed on the table; There are a few flowers, bunched of red paper, inserted in the bottle, and a small incense burner is placed in front of the flowers.

After fasting, bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and praying, everyone sits around the table together, facing the constellation Vega, silently reciting their thoughts, hoping that their dreams will come true.

For example, the red head rope is said to be held only when there are frail and sick children in the family.

It is the parents who tie the red head rope into a knot and wear it around the child's neck, praying that God will bless the child with health and longevity.

Of course, the most important thing is to worship Kuixing, and it is rumored that the seventh day of the seventh month of July is Kuixing's birthday. Kuixing is the main scholar, and the scholars who want to seek fame and fame especially respect Kuixing, so they must worship on the day of Tanabata. Pray that he will bless him with good luck in his examinations.

Kui Xing Ye is Kui Dou Xing, the Kui Star in the 28 Constellations, the first star in the Big Dipper, also known as Kui Xing or Kui Shou. In ancient times, the champion among the scholars was called "the corporal of the great kui world" or "winning the championship in one game", all because the kui star was in charge of the examination.

This is also the reason why local governments like to hold banquets such as cultural gatherings on this day every year.

Of course, there are also various activities such as celebrating the birthday of the cow, planting and asking for children, and eating good fruits......

It's also colorful.

……

This year's township test is martial arts.

Therefore, on the day of Qixi Festival, Jiangning Mansion held an eagle feast.

The venue for the banquet was on the embankment of the Qinhuai River.

More than 500 tables were set up, and they filled up a street.

Countless lanterns are hung on both sides of the river, illuminating the entire embankment.

The literati warriors, celebrities, and wealthy squires of Jiangning Mansion......

Basically, everything that can come is gone, and this is a major festival in this day and age.

……

"Master, little aunt is here......" Zhang Mu'er greeted Lin Yiru and the others from afar.

"Sister, it's your apprentice, let's go sit over there, there's a place." Lin Yueru looked at the position occupied by Zhang Muer, leaning against the river, and the scenery was beautiful.

"Hmm!" Lin Yiru responded coldly.

followed Lin Yueru and walked over.

Zhang Mu'er helped Lin Yiru pull out a chair, let her sit down, looked around with a little curiosity, and asked, "Master, what is Uncle Shi doing?" Didn't you come back today? ”

"I'll be back in two days." Lin Yiru didn't answer, Lin Yueru answered for her.

Zhang Mu'er is not surprised by this, her own master has this character, and it is good to get used to it.

There's a little bit of chatting here.

In the distance, Luo Ming looked around, obviously looking for someone, and when he saw a few people, his eyes lit up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he ran over with a smile, along with Xia Haibo and other second ancestors.

"Master, aunt...... Mu'er. Luo Ming came over first to say hello, then looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him and the others, so he lowered his voice and said, "They have all been informed, and everything is going according to Master's plan." ”

"Well," Lin Yiru nodded, indicating that she understood, and her attitude towards Cao Yan's apprentice was obviously better than that of her own apprentice.

And here, Lin Yueru looked at the second ancestors who were hanging on their children, and ordered: "Be careful not to leak the news, needless to say that you understand too much, as long as they give money to follow, the ugly words are in the front, give me a tighter mouth, if anyone leaks the news and makes everyone less chance of being promoted and rich, don't blame everyone for being polite." After speaking, Lin Yueru looked at the people present with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Yes, Second Miss." A group of people responded in fear.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Muer felt a little inexplicable when she heard everyone's words.

Luo Ming opened his mouth and looked in the direction of Lin Yueru, seeing that she was frowning and looking at herself viciously, but finally did not say the reason: "I didn't say anything, by the way, you can remember to go to Master's house tomorrow, and I have already paid the registration fee for you." ”

Seeing Luo Fatzi's secret to himself, Zhang Muer wanted to get angry a little, when did this Luo Fatzi be himself?

But when she looked at Lin Yueru, she pursed her lips and swallowed the words back, the two sisters in front of her would not be like Luo Ming, she could only mutter: "Mysterious dead fat man." ”

……

In the banquet, the interest at this table was very high.

Obviously, everyone has a happy event in their hearts.

This also made Zhang Muer even more curious.

After eating, that's what everyone likes to see, it's time for the wind and snow.

Singing and dancing, drama...... After one round.

Of course, at this time, it must be indispensable to the poetry that everyone is looking forward to.

At the banquet of the people who were in charge of the Jiangning Mansion who were sitting on the main seat, the theme of tonight's poem was shouted out by the people around them.

It is a poem related to "Tanabata".

Whenever there is a link, Zhang Muer is very excited.

She frequently looked in the other direction of the field.

It is a place where some well-known talents of Jiangning Mansion gather, and it is also the most popular place.

If it weren't for Lin Yiru and Lin Yueru sitting here and not moving, it is estimated that she would have run over to join in the fun.

"Mu'er, don't look at it, the best poems today are at our table." Looking at Zhang Muer's actions, Luo Ming said confidently.

Zhang Mu'er looked at the second ancestors sitting around a little strangely, and pointed: "Just you?" ”

"Cut, Zhang Mu'er, don't look down on people, what's wrong with us?" Xia Haibo said in a slightly wrong tone, if she wasn't Luo Ming's fiancée, they wouldn't want to take her to play at all.

"That is, today we all prepare the ...... of poetry"

"Well, the first one today must be Miss Lin, and the second is Miss Lin, is this the third......" One person said this, and nodded to the others present, "It's us." ”

"I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue," Zhang Mu'er said disdainfully, and then said to the two sisters of the Lin family flatteringly: "Of course, it's not about master and aunt. ”

"Cut, brothers, take out our works and let the little lady of the Zhang family open her eyes." A man shouted, and after speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

The others followed the man's movements, and they all took out a piece of paper from their bosom.
