The Autumn Society, also known as the "Land Festival", is for the warm life of the land. Every year on the fifth day after the beginning of autumn, the Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing will worship the land god and the grain god, which is for the community.

The imperial court sent officials to sacrifice to the altar, and the spring prayer and the autumn report were also. The fields will be prosperous, and the farmers will be auspicious.

The greeters were three or five tenant chiefs in the Imperial Village.

"The community does not have food and lodging, so there will be rain on the day of the society. The prince has worked the road. The head tenant stepped forward and said respectfully.

When Ah Nuan got out of the carriage, he heard a slight noise behind him. Looking back, I saw the father and goddess of the tenants complaining on the road, and one of the tenant chiefs who came to greet him looked unnatural.

After a hasty glance at everyone's expressions, she knew a rough idea in her heart. What's more, it's the prince?

"Everything is important to sacrifice, and the rest is not mattered." Yan Jin smiled.

Upon hearing the king's command, the head of the tenant led the people to the altar and began to preside over and make sacrifices.

Welcome the rain every year, and wash the forest flowers lightly. Under the tree, the field drum, the altar side to serve the meat crow.

After Ah Nuan cleaned his hands with everyone, he learned from the peasant woman to mix a bowl of meat and rice and presented it to Yan Jin.

Stack drums to pray for the New Year, drink alcohol to cure deafness, and mix rice with meat.

"The prince tasted this, I put pork and mutton, kidneys, belly lungs, and cakes, melons and ginger. If you have anything else to taste, I'll add more. ”

If it weren't for the conversation between the senior brothers and sisters last night, Yan Jin really couldn't see that Ah Nuan, who was smiling at the moment, would be leaving his side soon.

He tasted a few bites of the social food she brought, and his mouth was full of fragrant.

How did Ah Nuan know that if she left, Beihe Wang Ye would be a walking corpse who didn't know the five flavors and didn't know the warmth and coldness......

After the wine and dinner, it is the highlight of the sacrifice, and it is also the purpose of A Nuan's trip - to take rice for the Queen Mother.

The genus of chickens, melons and vegetables of various agricultural furniture is to worship and bless in the field. This refers to the new rice of the farmer.

All the peasants bowed, bowed their heads, and then knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely.

At this time, the housekeeper came to Yan Jin's side and whispered, and Ah Nuan also heard it.

"Lord Wang, the rest of the farmer's new rice has been filled with a small bag and placed on the carriage, and no one notices."

At the same time, the cherry that had not spoken for a long time transmitted a message to Ah Nuan's heart.

Sakura: Nuan?

Nuan: What's wrong?

Sakura: Listen, this new rice is an unusual thing, just grab a handful.

？

Warm:...... Good! Grab a handful when I go to the imperial dining room to make porridge for the Empress Dowager later.

Sakura: Tsk, you illiterate baby...... I don't want the dining room, I want the altar! Now is it!

After hearing this, Ah Nuan raised her head blankly, only to see a stone pile of rice stacked high in the center of the altar wrapped in red and yellow cloth.

About 100 people around were sincerely worshipping the rice pile.

The pig's head, which was sacrificed next to the rice pile, glared at it with its nostrils like a ghostly ghost.

At the thought that she had to go to the altar to steal rice in front of everyone, Ah Nuan shuddered.

No way! It's absolutely impossible!

"Are you crazy?!"

Ah Nuan was furious, and cursed loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

By the way, the tenant girl who stopped the car and complained about it is approaching Yan Jin with a ghost in her heart at this moment.

Her eyes were full of affection, and she quietly approached the prince's side, just when she was startled by A Nuan's sudden scolding, and then she had tears in her eyes and was at a loss.

The timing was just right.

An awkward atmosphere flowed between the two, and there seemed to be a crow in Ah Nuan's ears.

The tenant girl's name is Caizhe, born in a peasant family, she looks smart, and her smile is quite moving. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been remembered by the villains.

Although her motives are not pure, and she wants to rely on her own appearance to take refuge in Beihe Wangye, she will not be scolded in this kind of scene!

And that doesn't do anything......

The inquiring and mocking gazes of the surrounding farmers made her feel hatred.

She gritted her teeth and thought: I heard the palace maids say, although that Wen girl is a little ambiguously involved with the prince, to put it bluntly, she is just a little chef, how can she be so jealous?

"The prince is angry! Miss Wen is angry! The folk girl just wanted to take a handkerchief to clean the prince's hands after the salute, and there was no other heart. The land is a testament! ”

The pear blossoms of the color dyeing defense bring rain, which makes people feel pity.

Yan Jin's keen sense of smell noticed someone approaching early in the morning. It's just that Ah Nuan stopped it first, which was unexpected.

Interesting, interesting.

He folded his hands in a playful motion, looked at the people around him playfully and asked, "Ah Nuan, what do you think?" ”

This is a big misunderstanding!

She was worried and didn't know how to end, and suddenly she had an idea.

"Miss Colorime misunderstood, I didn't mean that. It's just that the new rice on the altar just flew into a fluttering moth, and none of you saw it? ”

Everyone shook their heads blankly.

"The sacrificial things are too big to go out of the way. What I scolded just now was that daring moth! ”

A Nuan said while stepping onto the altar with a solemn and serious face, holding a handful of sacrificial new rice with his back to everyone, and then restoring the pile of millet into a golden shape, throwing it away with a fake model, and then smiled at everyone: "I picked it out, and the moth flew away!" ”

Everyone present was blind and agreed, and no one dared to question it.

That's the prince's woman, who dares to provoke?!

A tenant patted his ass and shouted that the girl was wise, and everyone joined in.

Ah Nuan stepped down from the stage, and waved his hand with a smile: "After the award, the little girl is just caring about national affairs." ”

Sakura: You're ......

The sacrifice proceeds normally and ends at the end of the day.

Later, the tenant father and daughter identified the tenant chief with various crimes, and the evidence was complete. The sinner confessed and was sent by the palace guards to Jingzhao Mansion Yin for detention.

After the sacrifice, the north and the prince ordered to drive back to the palace.

Before leaving, Pear Blossom, who was crying again, begged the prince to take her in and let her enter the palace to do things in order to support her father.

Yan Jin didn't answer immediately, but asked Ah Nuan.

"What do you think?"

She thought it wasn't good to bring strangers into the house at will, but the girl was pitiful.

Ah Nuan was a little unbearable.

"The little girl thought that since she was the daughter of a tenant who worked in the fields, she must be a good hand at housework."

This is a plea.

A Nuan's answer was decent, but it changed in Cairan's heart: this woman was so vicious, and she directly cut off her thoughts. It seems that after entering the palace, he is also a rough maid and other streams, and he can't get on the stage.

Thankfully, the days are still long.

Yan Jin looked at Ah Nuan's calm and clear gaze, and then looked at the color dyeing, and smiled deeply.

"Okay, just as you say."

Contains the main hall of the cool hall.

The old man swallowed three or four more mouthfuls of yellow rice porridge before putting down the dishes and chopsticks and asking someone to clean them up. The Empress Dowager is old, and even if she likes to eat this bowl of porridge again, her appetite can't be contained.

At this time, she is the highest person in this palace city.

The prosperity of the country and the people, the children and grandchildren under the knees, have no regrets.

But it's not.

"I wonder if the mourning family can announce that the person who made this porridge will see it?"

"It's just a cook, and the imperial grandmother can see it if she wants to. By the way, the concubine heard that it was a daughter's family. ”

It was Su Guifei who said this.

She entered the palace in the year of her enthronement, but she had been promoted to this position in six years, which shows her honor. To this day, this is not all due to the love of the saints, but also because she is blessed with three princes.

Today, she took the youngest eighth prince with her.

The queen on the other side is much more dignified and virtuous than her, she is the wife of the saint, and everything is based on the holy will. Since taking charge of the Phoenix Seal, she has never done anything wrong, and she has a deep affection for the Holy Lord.

The queen first looked at the saint, and after getting tacit approval, she sent someone to bring Ah Nuan over.

Also entering the Hanliang Hall with A Nuan are Bei and Wang Ye Yan Jin.

Due to the hurry of the trip, neither of them returned to the palace, and he changed into the clothes for the audience in the Zichen Palace.

Compared with outsiders, the saint greets his brother first.

"Beihe, why are you so procrastinating in changing your clothes, your grandmother's porridge is almost finished."

The world knows that Yan Jia, the emperor of the Sheng Dynasty, was quite kind to his younger brother.

Looking at the harmony of this family, it is no different from ordinary people. Ah Nuan thought privately, it seems that the royal family is not as terrifying as the senior brother said.

After greeting one or two, the royal people praised Ah Nuan's cooking skills, and the words were more magnificent than the other, what delicacies, what jade food.

Especially the queen and concubine who have never tasted a bite.

In addition, the queen also mentioned that Beihe Wangye's recommendation was meritorious.

The more Ah Nuan listened to everyone's praise, the more she felt panicked, and she couldn't help but compare the words that Senior Brother Mo Ze had used to evaluate her food.

Pigs and dogs are hard to eat.

……

"The mourning family looks at this child very well-behaved." The Empress Dowager said suddenly.

"I also look at this girl's cleverness, I don't know if it's a marriage match?"

The words of the saint made the queen and Su Guifei's expressions stagnant, and they were unnatural.

Without waiting for Ah Nuan to think about replying, Yan Jin, who was sitting on the side of the hall without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Huang, this woman has been with Lu for two years."

Most women enter the palace at the age of 123, and the latest is only 16.

Ah Nuan has always been favored a lot in the museum because of her youth, and she only realized that she no longer belongs to the category of girls.

Concubine Su was the first to react, and said with a smile: "Although this age is a little older, it is still a person in the prince's mansion, and many people care about it, so they don't worry about getting married!" ”

She glanced at the saint half-coquettishly and half-reproachfully, full of charm.

The saint smiled inexplicably, and did not delve further.

This Su Guifei is very good-looking, but Ah Nuan always feels as if she has seen it somewhere.

After gossiping a few pillars of incense, the Empress Dowager became a little drowsy. Seeing this, the children and grandchildren consciously retreated softly.

In a moment, the huge palace was deserted and lonely.

The palace maid stepped forward and gently carried her back to the bed to rest, and traced back to the golden hairpin cardamom in her dream.

The Empress Dowager was born as a tenant, not an official eunuch, and entered the palace at the age of thirteen. Speaking of origin, she is not glorious; Speaking of the past, it is not allowed to be open.

There used to be blood stains, white clothes and plain wraps, glory and body, and loneliness and helplessness. She wasn't proud, everyone in the walls of this palace was like that.

It's just that life is long and life is short.

I still remember that before entering the palace, my mother would always take a few handfuls of porridge back from the sacrifice after she and other farmers had disposed of the new rice left over from the sacrifice.

Yellow rice mixed with grain bran, boiled more can be eaten.

Ah Nuan's cooking skills are naturally not superb, but they are similar to the porridge made by the Queen Mother's mother.

The taste is rough and difficult to swallow.

I still remember that before cooking porridge, my mother would always pick rice with her on the stone slab in front of the courtyard. The rice in early autumn is not very ripe, and the new rice after the sacrifice has passed for another six or seven days, and it is no longer considered new.

When collecting rice, the mother and daughter often picked up the ribbons and firecrackers during the sacrifice, and she always smiled and put the ribbons on her head and asked her mother with a smile.

Do you look good when you are born?

The mother always smiled and said, "My son is so beautiful, and when he grows up, he may be able to be the daughter-in-law of the saint."

Later, she really entered the palace.

all the way from the palace maid to the queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother.

……

In this life, I've had enough.
