Chapter 180: August Weiyang
In the mid-autumn season of August, about the release of the Song State Sicheng Le Qi, the Jin court quarreled again.
However, at this time, the Liuqing in Xinjiang is not complete, Fan Ying is still singing, it is said that he is infected with a minor illness and cannot return immediately, after all, he is already an old man who is nearly eighty years old. Everyone is speculating about when this tumbler in the political arena of the Jin Kingdom will choke, or when he will retire and give up the throne to his young concubine Fan Jiji.
The rebel forces in the Zhou royal family revived, occupying the royal city for a long time and unable to take it. Since Fan Bo was ill, Zhisong, who was in charge of Chengzhou's affairs in the past, also went to the south to preside over the overall situation, and he also brought his nationality with him, and it is said that Deng Fei also accompanied him to write in the army.
As an ally of the Zhi clan, Wei Ju is back, and under Zhao Ying's offensive, it has the meaning of loosening......
The Zhongxing clan has always expressed opposition to the release of Le Qi, and Han Buxin, the only one who clearly supports Zhao Ying, went to Lingyi County.
Therefore, the Marquis of Jin used the excuse that the six kings were not in order, so he could not hold a public meeting, and his state was still a procrastination, but he had changed from leaning towards Fan Yingzhi to becoming neutral.
This is also thanks to Zhao Wuxian, the "courtier" next to the Marquis of Jin, who intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Zhao Ying's loyalty to the office, and emphasized the damage to the prestige of the Jin State caused by Fan Zhongxing's greedy and despicable behavior. Wuxian felt that the line of Jin Hou, after more than a month, should be ripe, and he could take action.
And Zhao Wuxian's side, the messenger sent ♀ to Zheng Guo to find Qin Yueren, also came back.
When the messenger arrived, Zhao Wuxian was originally cooking and researching a new food with Zhao Guangde, and immediately ran out after learning the news. When I asked, I found out that they had not found Qin Yueren.
The messenger returned, "Jun. The people of Xinzheng said, before we arrived. The Qin Yue people have already come to the Jin Kingdom. ”
Wuxian was stunned when he heard this: "I came to the Jin Kingdom, why don't you see him?" ”
"He didn't come to Xinjiang, it is said that he went to Yu County."
Yu County, originally the state of Zhou Wangqing Shi Yu Gong, more than a year ago, Jin Xian Gong used the ancestor Xun Xi of Zhongxing and Zhi to conquer there.
The land is located on the edge of the Yellow River, and the area of the Gate Gorge in later generations controls the fortress of the peach forest. That is, Cuihan Tianxian, also known as "outside the river", is far from Xinjiang, but it is only a decade to go back and forth. So Zhao Wuxian asked the messenger to go to the land instead, and he was sure to invite the people of Qin Yue!
He couldn't help but sigh and said, what a good thing, fortunately, Le Qi has been in good shape recently, and after he started writing his volume of "Le's Historical Records", his health has improved day by day. Maybe the spirit was misdiagnosed?
When the Book of Poetry said "", Zhao Wuxian entered the Qiqi Palace again as the assistant sacrifice of the Marquis of Jin. It is the so-called "spring sunrise, autumn sunset". The setting moon is to worship the moon on the day of Weiyang.
This day, in fact, is the fifteenth day of August in the later generations, the night of the full moon. There is no Mid-Autumn Festival in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, there is already a custom of "nourishing aging in the mid-autumn moon and eating porridge". It's a little different than usual.
After the complicated sacrifice was over, Zhao Wuxian was the same as usual. Under Shi Mo's cold gaze, he presented another novel thing to the Marquis of Jin, and the same was true for Le Qi's side. And in the lower palace, he also sent someone to his father Zhao Ying's eldest brother Zhao Bolu, sister Ji Ying's fiancée Le Ling and others each sent one.
"What is this?"
Le Ling was worried that Qin Yue people would not come to the Jin Kingdom for a long time, and she couldn't sleep at night again, and the food was unsweet, and when she uncovered the porcelain food jar sent by the shirtless with some unbelievable eyes, she found that there were some pink foods with attractive colors inside.
"It looks so good." Ji Huan, who was dressed in red, was like a gluttonous cat, and she was also holding another food bowl and lying lazily on the pu mat, and when she saw the sweets, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
The two girls each picked up a piece, the cherry mouth opened slightly, and the shell teeth bit lightly, and tasted it carefully. Soon, both pairs of eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't stop looking at each other.
The wheat flour is made of crispy crust with thin edges and thick hearts, made of pine nuts, sunflowers, almonds and caramel, or green salt. Then wrapped in hot ointment as filling, the food is fragrant and soft, very unusual food.
They said in unison, "It's sweet!" "It's salty!"
Sister Ji Huan is a sweet party, and Le Ling is actually a salty party.
Zhao Wuxian is sweet and salty.
Ji Huan picked it up and took a look, only to see a few small seal characters written by Zhao Wuxian himself: "The small cake is like chewing the moon, and there are crisps and syrup."
"It turns out that this thing is called a moon cake, and it is really similar to the full moon." Ji Huan looked at the silver plate in the sky and silently wrote down the name.
And the simple slip on Le Ling's food cake has more words, and it is densely written. Ji Ying was quite apprehensive about her younger brother's behavior of "favoring one over the other", and just wanted to laugh at Le Ling sourly, but saw two lines of tears on her cheeks.
"What's going on?"
Ji Huan leaned over and wiped her tears with her red cuffs, but saw her pair of big eyes full of tears, which made me feel pitiful, and Ji Huan was a little stupid.
"I want to see what Wuxian said, which made you cry."
She picked up the slip that Le Ling had dropped by mistake and read it out loud.
"People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope people will last for a long time, thousands of miles together Chanjuan ......"
These words are very different from the style of the poem, although they cannot be elegant, but they are catchy and have a different sense of beauty, which is exactly the same as Zhao Wuxian's "broken sound" that he once answered the musician Gao in the main hall of the lower palace.
Ji Huan was also stunned for a while, but saw Le Ling wiping his tears and laughing.
For the first time in a few days, she let herself eat more food, and these delicious snacks were Jun's heart and silent care. Come to think of it, my father can also have the same taste in the deep palace, I hope my father will live a long life, I can grow old with you, and the family can be reunited as soon as possible!
But in Ji Huan's heart, thinking of his life experience, he had a different taste.
The moon can be reunited, but can the broken copper jian be rerounded?
The Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon, and people also hope to reunite, which is probably the first time in history that someone has given a different meaning to this day.
At the same time, Zhao Wuxian rejected Le Qi's suggestion to let him stay in the palace of Yu Qi, and rushed back to Chengxiang overnight. He couldn't go to the same room with Ji Yingleling, so only by becoming a hometown could he feel a little bit of home on this special day.
After tossing and turning on the carriage until the second half of the night, he finally returned to his living room, and after bathing and freshening up under Wei's personal service, he sat down on the watchtower of the village temple again. Accompanied by Wei, he also held a piece of "moon cake", looking at the bright moon that was climbing higher and higher.
It's been almost a year since he came to this era, and his words and deeds are becoming more and more like a Spring and Autumn Jun, and he is gradually completely overlapping with "Zhao Wuxian". In his previous life, his family and all kinds of life events were like a world away, and here, he also got a lot of things, and even relived the taste of family love.
It was also from this year that the custom of "eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival" began to become popular in the circle of the upper nobles of the Jin Kingdom.
……
Mid-autumn has passed, and it has begun to enter the season of "September dressing". The Jin Kingdom is located in the north, the first to feel the coolness of the north wind, every household began to sew winter clothes, under the governance of Zhao Wuxian, has become more and more prosperous, but do not have to worry about this winter and then "no clothes and no brown" day.
However, the messenger who went to find Qin Yue still did not return within the expected time, but sent someone from the lower palace to summon him over, because the car of Dong Anyu, the doctor of Jinyang, was about to arrive tomorrow. (To be continued......)
