August 15 is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in the Central Plains.

On this day, since ancient times, there have been customs such as worshipping the moon, admiring the moon, worshipping the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, etc., which have been passed down to this day and endured endlessly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival uses the full moon to reunite people, in order to express the feelings of missing hometown and relatives.

However, Cui Wenqing and Su Shi are both young people who don't know what it feels like to be worried, and they are ordered to tolerate young dignitaries, but there are not too many homesick episodes.

Except for Cui Wenqing thinking about it, the Mid-Autumn Festival doesn't have much other meaning for the two.

And at this moment, they are both preparing for the upcoming poetry collection,

said that it was preparation, but this word seemed a bit redundant to Cui Wenqing.

As usual, he wore whatever he wanted to wear to participate in the poetry collection.

He was still wearing a Confucian robe with blue edges on a white background, wearing an ordinary, unadorned leno head on his head, and a dark belt embroidered with gold thread around his waist.

In such a costume, he looks like an ordinary Confucian scholar, except for his slightly handsome appearance, there is really not much conspicuousness.

In comparison, Su Shi's outfit today is much grander.

A black saro with jade in the middle hangs down the head, a moon-white robe embroidered with dark patterns and large flowers, and a pair of black and shiny black leather shoes at the feet.

Not to mention that his face was like a crown of jade, and the jade tree was in the wind, after wearing this shirt, he was really like a tiger with wings, like a dragon getting water, and the whole person suddenly showed a different demeanor when he stood there.

"I'll wipe it, Brother Su, you're going to go on a blind date wearing such a grand outfit!" Seeing Su Shi like this, Cui Wenqing, who consciously became a foil for green leaves, immediately burst into a foul mouth, revealing a look of crying and laughing.

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Dare to ask Brother Wenqing, what do you mean by blind date?" ”

Cui Wenqing then remembered that Daqi had not said a blind date at this time, thought about it and scratched his scalp and said: "This blind date is a way for men and women to get acquainted with each other and fall in love with each other through matchmaking or acquaintances, and even finally get married." ”

Su Shi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Isn't this what you said just asking the matchmaker?" However, there are no heirs yet, how can they go on a blind date, Brother Wen Qing is really joking. ”

Cui Wenqing knew that the ancient blind date was a meeting between the parents of both sides, which was very different from the meeting of the blind date in later generations, so he couldn't help but feel a little difficult to answer, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Su, have you ever thought that men and women meet alone like this, and don't want their parents to intervene in the whole blind date process?" ”

Su Shi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it violate the etiquette and law like this, how could it be?" Even if there are people who violate the etiquette and want to meet, most of them are brought to the temple fair or assembly by the matchmaker or their parents to have a so-called 'meeting', but they can only be seen from a distance. ”

Cui Wenqing sighed lightly: "However, such a marriage is arranged by the parents, and the husband and wife can't see each other until they get married, don't you think it's terrible?" ”

Su Shi couldn't understand Cui Wenqing's idea of being too advanced, and said with a puzzled face: "What's so terrible, everyone has lived like this for thousands of years." ”

"Alas, let me tell you this, if Brother Su's parents choose a wife for your arranged marriage, if your wife is ugly and unsalted, what should you do?"

Hearing Cui Wenqing's words, Su Shijun's face twitched obviously, and then he sighed and said: "What else can I do, the marriage event is the life of the matchmaker's parents, how can it be changed according to people's wishes?" If the wife is ugly, it will be a big deal to accept a few more beautiful concubines in the future. ”

Su Shi's thoughts are also the thoughts of many powerful people in Daqi, Cui Wenqing can also understand, and said lightly: "This is also a way to do it, so ah, marrying a wife is really like buying a lottery ticket, after all, there are only a few people who can marry beautiful women, Brother Su, there is no such worry in the future, I can only sympathize with you for what happened to you in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi was furious, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Rub! Do you think that everyone is like you, you can marry a wife like Zhezhao, in addition to her fierce temper, she is completely a peerless beauty like Yue Guo Xi Shi and Han Palace Feiyan, so glamorous, it is really more difficult than winning the first-class lottery! ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing immediately laughed, obviously extremely proud of his good luck, and Su Shi was depressed.

After laughing, Cui Wenqing asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Su is twenty years old, hasn't Su Shangshu married a wife for you?" ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "My generation of men should start a business first and then start a family, I only entered the Shi and the first year before the year, and the family has not had time to choose a wife for me, but my second brother Su Che has already started a family last year, and the wife chosen is the daughter of Lord Chen of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, this looks ...... Tsk, I can only express deep sympathy and condolences to Ziyou (Su Zhezi). ”

At this time, Cui Wenqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, I heard that Brother Su also has a sister called Su Xiaomei, who has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is a rare peerless talent, and I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

These rumors that Cui Wenqing said were not heard in contemporary times, but for the Song Dynasty in the time and space he traveled.

According to many wild historical records, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe father and son have always been admired by future generations because of their extremely high literary achievements, but at home can be compared with Sansu in literature, as well as Su Xun's daughter Su Xiaomei.

A generation of writers Su Shi Confucianism complements each other, and his fame is boundless, but compared with his sister Su Xiaomei, he seems to be half a year shorter, and Su Xiaomei left behind stories such as the Three Difficulties Qin Temple, Buddha Seal and Cow Dung.

Cui Wenqing had never heard Su Shi mention whether he had a little sister, so he asked out of curiosity.

Hearing Cui Wenqing's question, Su Shi suddenly showed a look of vigilance, and looked at Cui Wenqing as if he was guarding against thieves: "Brother Wenqing, why are you asking about this?" ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and said with a teasing smile: "What's the matter, is there really a little sister Su who is hidden by you and doesn't want others to know?" ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "What is hidden, the little sister is still young, it is a treasure in our family, and she is deeply loved by the two elders and me and my son, so I am a little strange to hear you inquire." ”

"Wow, it turns out that there is really Su Xiaomei!" Cui Wenqing was excited, grabbed Su Shi's sleeve and said, "How is it, how old are you, and are you beautiful?" Can there be a comparable appearance? ”

Su Shi looked depressed and secretly wondered: Haven't you already seen it a long time ago? But he said: "Brother Wenqing, you inquire so clearly, do you want to be my brother-in-law?" It's a pity that you have a family, otherwise our two families would get married, and you would become my brother-in-law, wouldn't it be happy! ”
