In the sixth year of Datang Huichang, September 9, Chongyang. Li Chen www.biquge.info standing in front of the Taihe Palace, looked at Chang'an, "They all said that they were going to climb today, but I was already so high, and I was climbing every day." Li Chen said with a smile.

The terrain of Longshouyuan is very high, standing in front of Hanyuan Palace, you can see very far, almost the entire Chang'an City. In the farthest distance, you can faintly see the city wall and the most conspicuous Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

"Standing here and watching, it's really refreshing", Xiaohong slightly straightened the hair that was blown by the autumn wind, and the whole Chang'an City was under her feet, neatly planned, like a chessboard with a grid, which made people feel like a chess game with the world.

'Let's go, go back and eat cakes.' Li Chen watched for a while, feeling no interest, although the scenery here is beautiful, but I look at it every day, I often see it, and I get tired of seeing too much, mainly because today is the Double Ninth Festival. According to the custom, it is necessary to climb high, Li Chen was interested for a while, and ran to the front of Hanyuan Hall to see the Chang'an City below, which can be regarded as ascending.

'Eat, and you will know how to eat.' Xiaohong said angrily, "It's a pity not to eat, it's just once a year." ''If you like, the Imperial Chef can cook it for you every day.' ''Then how can it be done, if you don't eat it on the day of Chongyang, there will be no such atmosphere.'' ’

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, in addition to climbing high, you have to plant dogwood, and you also have to eat canopy bait. Grind the grass and mix it with millet flour or steam it to become a bait. It is also steamed with wheat flour, which is called puffy cake. In fact, it is an Asteraceae family, which grows all year round, but because it is an Asteraceae, its flowering period is about autumn every year, and at this time, the aroma will be stronger.

'Run back. Li Chen waved his hand and ran first, Xiaohong had already prepared, and also ran, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind him who were tired worked hard to keep up. If they fall behind, when the emperor needs to serve, they can't find anyone, and they will be in big trouble.

Finally, Li Chen didn't run in stride, ran for a while and then slowed down to walk, so they could keep up. Finally, back in the Zhonghe Palace, Li Chen had been looking forward to it for a long time, steaming, freshly baked Chongyang food, ready to come, just waiting for him to come back.

'It's delicious. Li Chen unceremoniously picked up a green square and ate it in one bite. The aroma of fluffy grass fills the mouth, as if it bursts in the mouth, 'This imperial chef is really good.' Li Chen smashed his mouth, his hand did not stop, he picked up another different cake with one hand, and handed a cake to Xiaohong with the other hand. Xiaohong reached out and took it, put it in her mouth, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, it was really delicious.

Up to now, the Chung Yeung Festival still has to eat cakes, but it is no longer limited to pengbait. In this plate, there are Ma Ge cakes, rice brocade cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, and so on.

The colors are different, some green, some red, and some are multi-layered, and Li Chen happily ate them piece by piece. This custom has existed since the Han Dynasty, and the cake sound is the same high. On the ninth day of September, eat cakes and ascend, step by step, the old life cake ninety-nine.

'Take another sip of chrysanthemum wine, Zane. After eating the cake with a dry mouth, Li Chen tasted a sip of chrysanthemum wine. His face was full of happiness.

Chongyang drinking chrysanthemum wine is also a custom that has been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the present. Li Chen didn't understand this custom, why he drank chrysanthemum wine or ate chrysanthemum cake on this day. Chrysanthemum does have a high medicinal value, the wind and eyes, clear heat and detoxify the effect. In modern times, many people will make chrysanthemum tea to drink.

But why is it regarded as a symbol of double yang? It is regarded as a must-drink for Chongyang, and has the effect of dispelling disasters and praying for blessings.

Don't understand this? Li Chen looked away, 'Is it delicious?' ', 'Yes. I've never drunk such a delicious chrysanthemum wine before. Xiaohong nodded, "Have you sent it to a few sisters?" ''Yes, you can rest assured. Li Chen continued to taste chrysanthemum wine.

If you talk about cakes, you can make and eat them every day, but this wine is not good. Because this wine was made last year, every year on the day of Chongyang, chrysanthemums, millet and koji are put into the jar. Seal it for a year, take it out and drink it at this time next year. If you want to brew for a year, you don't just want to drink it.

At this time, there were voices outside the Zhonghe Palace, and they were getting louder and louder, 'It's coming.' Li Chen never sat down, and replied lazily. At this time, the sky was dark, and the sun had just climbed into the air, about mid-hour. A group of mermaids passed through the left silver gate, and from a distance, each of them was either strong and strong, or stretched out his hand.

These people are good at fighting against horns. From the Heavenly Cliff Cape, there are all directions. Some are very famous and good players, and some are secretly recruited by Fu Bo.

Since he has the intention to inherit the throne and become the emperor, there must be a group of reliable people around him. Fu Bo had long been secretly recruiting and cultivating, plus Wan Qi's own people, mixed with a group of people with different backgrounds, and entered the palace together, blatantly entering the palace.

There's a kind of winner now. ''Who is afraid of whom?'' Wait until you get to the palace, I will definitely give you a good look. ''Fight, fight, now it's better for the two of you to fight, and there is no basis for your words.'' "You two, don't quarrel, don't say a word, and wait until the royal front is moving." ’

The two of them were arguing, and their voices were not small, some of the others fanned the flames, some did fight, and more, those who were calmer, all showed expressions of watching a good show.

Finally, there was a guard who couldn't look at it, and he was about to get to the front of the holy car, and he was so noisy, these people in the rivers and lakes just didn't understand the rules at all, 'Shut up.' 'A roar of rage, eyes fixed on the initiator of the two, if these two are not interesting, mess with the stick out, anyway, there are many people who come today, not worse than these two.

As a result, in the expectant eyes of the guards, the two immediately shut up, and the people around them also quieted down. Li Chen looked funny, no matter how stupid a person was, he shouldn't be so noisy at this time.

You said that people who practice martial arts are full of fire, and it is inevitable that they will not agree with each other. Of course, this is a must, the people who practice martial arts are strong-blooded, and they lick the blood with knives at every turn, but if they really want to fight, they have already started fighting, and they will not still be fighting verbal battles, unless the two of them practice the magic skills of mouth cannons.

If so, Li Chen has to nag and nagging with the other party. Brother, how long have you been here, will he have tears in his eyes when he sees his fellow countryman?

Li Chen was in a trance, and after a while, a group of people came to the square in front of the Zhonghe Palace. Sure enough, after seeing Li Chen, the two of them who had just quarreled immediately jumped out and said that they were going to have a competition soon. It was not Li Chen's expectation at all, it was simply an excuse to settle grievances, and he wanted to be the first to come out and behave well in front of him.

Li Chen pretended not to know, pretended to be happy to see everyone, and said, "I should have had breakfast, but I have ordered you to treat all the strong men well." ’

'I've eaten it. ''Breakfast was delicious. ''Thank you Emperor for the meal. A group of people replied unevenly, and Li Chen nodded, "Since you have all had breakfast, let's start." The two strong men have a heart, so they start with you first. ’

The two of them looked happy, and the others suddenly realized, it turned out that these two guys fought this idea, unless you have any outstanding skills, otherwise the sooner you do it, the better.

After all, the image is the deepest at first. After watching too much, I will get used to it. Just now, he was able to stretch out his hand, but later he was wiped out by everyone. The horizon is high, and I can't look at it.

Thinking of this, some people were annoyed and glared at the two of them angrily, some people were disdainful, people who had no ability would engage in this kind of trick, and some people were indifferent.

Soon, the crowd dispersed in the square, surrounding three sides, revealing the side near the middle hall, and in the middle was a place for people to compete.

Zhonghe Palace, the square in front is very large, not to mention that the corner needs a place, even the bow can be played here, at this moment, the center of the square is surrounded by two floors, the cheers are continuous, and Li Chen also nods frequently.

These two guys, although they put a little thought into it, really have two brushes under their hands. Li Chen has no objection to thinking about the guy, such a person at least means that he is trying to do things well.

Of course, this should also be moderate, if these two guys continue to quarrel like this in front of him, it will be too much.

Next, it's game after game. As mentioned earlier, the Chinese have fierce confrontation between the two sides like this. It seems that except for polo and tug-of-war, there is none. Some people may want to say, isn't it also considered a corner to resist?

No, at least not in Li Chen's opinion. Unbelief? Suppose there are people in the square today, and there are two dozen people in the tug-of-war, and the same two dozen people are in the corner. The police are here today, which side do you think they will arrest?

Of course, you have to say that martial arts is also a form of formal competition. But at least Li Chen didn't see it in the Tang Dynasty, it's not like this, it seems that he has to perform in full swing, or he has to fight in full swing.

'Okay, good on both sides. Li Chen high-fived and praised, although he belittled that he was in full swing, but it was a weekday, and the two sides had no reason to do their best, two or three days to compare like this, every day they fought like this, they were injured and had no income, and no one reimbursed them for their medical expenses.

Today is different, the two sides have tried their best to fight, and some of the tricks that were not commonly used in the past have been used. After all, before the royal drive, they must try their best to behave, their thoughts are similar to those bowers, as long as they are brilliant and have no official position, there will be no shortage of rewards.

In this way, Li Chen watched a lot of groups in the morning, and they had grudges on weekdays, so they also took this opportunity to play a game, and they were used to cooperating on weekdays, and their performance was even more brilliant. Let Li Chen watch it addictively. During this period, Li Chen asked people to send snacks, which were the ones he ate in the morning, Chongyang food for the occasion, and all kinds of cakes as snacks.

'Okay, very good, let's stop the morning.' Li Chen stopped the next competition and stood up, "Continue in the afternoon." ’

'Come on, prepare a place for you strong men to stay, I haven't finished the competition today, and you can continue in the future.' There is a pass, just the reward is not counted, each person will be rewarded with a horse', this is to leave people in the palace, everyone can't help but be happy, the emperor is really generous.
