Chapter 135: Chasing the Moon Festival
♂ ,!
The osmanthus in the yard has already bloomed, Niu's with its exquisite cooking skills, made several small snacks with osmanthus to help the fun, osmanthus sugar, osmanthus cake, and even a kind of moon cake with osmanthus as filling, it tastes like a unique flavor. This is in Chu Chengfeng's arms, and when he instructed Sun Chen to do his homework, he was holding a plate, and his mouth was reluctant to stop.
On the fifteenth day of August, the Moon Chasing Festival of the Apocalypse Dynasty arrived.
On this day, Sun Chen specially gave several employees in the store a holiday, and after eating in the evening, even Shen Bo's family was driven to the street by him.
Because it is the middle of the month, the moon is big and round, and this day is also regarded as a day of reunion, and it is second only to the Spring Festival. Usually if it is not far from home, people will rush home for reunion on this day, and the family sits together, while eating sweet moon cakes, while looking up to admire the moon, chatting about family life, what a pleasant thing!
In the middle of the moon, many girls who have not yet left the pavilion will go out of the house with lanterns at this time, laughing and laughing with their companions while walking along the street, looking up at the direction of the moon from time to time, which is 'chasing the moon'.
The fairy Chang'e in the moon is famous for her beauty, so the girl chases the moon, and she wishes that she can "look like Chang'e and face like the bright moon".
There are so many beauties, and of course, there are also young men who want to meet their crushes on the day of the Moon Chasing Festival. Slowly, the moon chasing festival also evolved into a large-scale blind date meeting, where young men and women held flowers in their hands that day, and handed each other the flowers in their hands when they met the right eye. If the other party accepts the flowers and gives back the one in his hand, then congratulations, you can inquire about the other party's address, and try to ask the father and mother of the family to help you propose.
Usually, as long as the two families are not too different, parents are very interested in such a situation. Because their union is witnessed by the moon god Chang'e, if the marriage is caused by the destiny of heaven, they can grow old together.
Sun Chen didn't want to fall in love with anyone at first sight, he heard from Master Chu that there was a star-picking tower in Taikang Town, built in an empty suburb, from which he could see the most beautiful moonlight in the entire Zhuo County.
So now, a few of them are carrying lanterns and walking on the way to pick up the star tower.
A few people on the road chattered, but they didn't think it was too far, and when they found a table on the highest floor of the Star Picking Building and sat down, Sun Chen felt that the soles of his feet were a little sore.
Watching Chu Chengfeng fight with the second girl in good spirits, Sun Chen swallowed the complaint he wanted to say silently, forcefully put a few toes together in the center of his foot, and then stretched it out all at once, letting the sourness dissipate.
The Star Picking Building is a tea house, divided into four floors, the entire four floors are actually a huge pavilion, and there is a lantern hanging high every few steps, and the fourth floor is brightly lit. Instead, they only set up tables and chairs around the pavilion, and in the middle of it was a table with the four treasures of the study, which was said to be for the guests who were ready to make a fortune.
As soon as she sat down, someone came over with flowers and wanted to give them to fennel on the same table, but she politely refused.
Sun Chen took a closer look at this little girl who actually met him all day long, and found that she had unconsciously become so beautiful. Got rid of her grandmother Sun Yang's struggle, and now she has something to do, she has completely got rid of her original submissiveness, her life is vibrant, and her whole person has a kind of youthful vitality that attracts attention. But her appearance is the kind of person who will be protective at a glance, and the two temperaments that are somewhat contradictory are perfectly blended in her, which adds a bit of charm to her.
She is undoubtedly the most attractive to men, no wonder so many people are discerning. But how to find a better way out for her, Sun Chen really didn't have any idea yet.
Because of the relationship with her grandmother Sun Yang, her future can be said to be completely in her own hands, but his own experience in this area is almost zero, so how can he make decisions for her?
"Alas!" Thinking of this, Sun Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong, Ah Chen? Do you feel ashamed to see that there are so many people sending flowers to fennel, but you don't have one? Do you want me to teach you how to receive flowers from others? Chu Chengfeng saw Sun Chen sighing, thinking that he was jealous, and asked in a low voice with a narrow face.
"Uh, no need, cough cough cough ......" Sun Chen picked up the teacup and just took a sip, and almost squirted out when he asked like this, but because he swallowed too quickly, he coughed for a while before stopping.
"If you want me to say, Master Chu is a lot older, so don't run out like us young people, and after a while, you should shout that you are tired and want to sleep." The second girl was very distressed when she saw it next to her, and couldn't help muttering, "It's good to go to bed after eating early like Uncle Yang, and you can worry about it here!" ”
"Girl, I didn't seem to mess with you just now, did I? Don't always target me all day long, be careful that you won't find a good mother-in-law in the future! If you have a little vision now, and coax me well, I am happy and promise to find you a wishful husband, how about it? Chu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.
"Phew, who needs your help! Why didn't I see you find a mother-in-law for yourself? "Chu Chengfeng is an old bachelor, this is a point that Erniu has to mention every time he quarrels with him, and he is used to it, and he doesn't feel anything.
"Ah Chen, do you see it? What do you mean by 'only women and villains are difficult to raise'? You know why I'm celibate all this day, right? ”
Sun Chen was about to smile and say a few words of comfort, but a not very harmonious voice sounded behind him.
"Others come here today to enjoy the moon, and a group of people who don't know what to say come to quarrel with are too insulting to the Moon Chasing Festival and the Star Tower!"
"It's just a group of rough people, why should Brother Liu care~ In these years, as long as there is silver, what does it have to do with desecrating the Star Picking Tower and the Moon Chasing Festival? The store won't take care of it, alas, it's really a bad day! Another voice reassured, but it didn't sound right.
"What Brother Han said is that this star-picking tower is gradually no longer a clean place, and it is almost covered by the smell of copper, it's a pity~"
"What's the use of wearing it no matter how shiny it is? Isn't it the same that can't hide the vulgarity that comes out from the inside out?! ”
That's a bit excessive.,It's almost a personal attack.,Besides, what does it have to do with whether you wear it well or not? It's really puzzling.
Sun Chen turned around and saw two people dressed as scholars looking sneakily in the direction where he was, shaking their heads from time to time with a look of disdain.
Although the fabric of the caftan on their bodies is not bad, at a glance, they know that they have been washed at least a dozen times, which shows that the family background of the two scholars is not very good.
