August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival

Because this day is in the middle of the year, and the moon is also the fullest time of the year, so, for thousands of years, the Chinese people have taken this day as a time for the whole family reunion, although later generations say that the reason why this day is celebrated on this day is because this time is the time when the crops, melons and fruits are harvested, but no matter what, this day is an important day in the entire Chinese history.

And for the scholars who were officials in the Ming Dynasty, this day was also the easiest time, because this day was the day of rest, and others were good officials, but it was estimated that it was more difficult to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Qin Dynasty, whether the official is a ten-day rest or a half-moon holiday, plus other holidays, there are always dozens of days of rest time every year, but it is different in the Ming Dynasty, you must know that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born in a poor family, let go of the cattle, and wanted to eat.

Therefore, since he established the Ming Dynasty, he regarded these officials as wicked people, not to mention that they would be severely punished at every turn, and even the holidays were only given eighteen days a year, of which in addition to the New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Lantern Festival and his own birthday, there was only the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although, now, after more than 200 years of changes, the holidays of the Ming Dynasty have long been extended a lot, but it is estimated that no one will disagree with the justifiable vacation.

"Mother, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that there is a dinner market in the evening, and I will accompany you for a walk then." Sitting in the spacious room, Shi Lei said to Li Cuier while eating all kinds of sunken moon cakes.

Seeing Shi Lei eating moon cakes with relish, Li Cuier had a smile on her face and said softly, "Hey, forget it, my mother is old, and I don't have that kind of spirit anymore, now that you have the title of the gold list, you have also entered the family tree of the Shi family, and you will also be an official family in the future, just take advantage of this time to go out and go around, and when you have the emperor's order in the future, you will not be so free." ”

Hearing Li Cuier's words, Shi Lei put down the moon cake in his hand, reached out to hold his mother's hand, and said, "Since my mother is unwilling to go out, then rest early, now that our conditions are good, my mother should pay more attention to her body, don't worry so much, my son is still waiting to honor you in the future." ”

"Okay, well, I must live well, and I want to see the day you marry your own son." Seeing her son's concerned expression, Li Cuier also said happily

As night gradually fell, the capital, which was supposed to fall into darkness, did not look like the sun, but was illuminated as if it were day by a lantern of command.

Although the whole tomorrow is now full of smoke, rebellions everywhere, and the whole country is even in danger, but, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the people here have self-confidence that they do not have elsewhere, they live in the center of the Ming Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so no matter what the chaos is outside, the people here are still lively, but it shows a last prosperity.

Wearing a brand-new Confucian costume, slowly walking on the road to Wanshou Temple, at the same time I couldn't help but complain in my heart, originally according to previous years, they were admitted to the Jinshi scholars, they would take the palace test before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then they would be divided into various places, but, what is strange is that this year has been waiting for more than half a month, there is no news, this abnormal move, so that those new Jinshi, are panicked, for this reason, under the auspices of several famous Jinshi, convened this year's new Jinshi, The Mid-Autumn Festival was held in Wanshou Temple, and it is unknown what other purpose it had.

Although Shi Lei was extremely reluctant to participate in this kind of boring party, after thinking about it, he still came, after all, he would be mixed in the officialdom in the future, and in the troubled times that were about to come, if he was still so alone, let alone doing a career, he would be very glad not to become a ghost.

"Da Da Dong "

Just when Shi Lei was walking and thinking about these things, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves was still far away when it first appeared, but because the speed was too fast, he came behind Shi Lei in a short time.

But Shi Lei, who was contemplating, didn't notice these at all, and when these galloping horses were about to hit Shi Lei,

"Ahh

At the critical moment, the knight on horseback suddenly held the reins and wanted to stop the galloping horse, but, let alone a horse, even if the brakes of the car in later generations were also a bit of inertia, so, although the galloping horse was strangled by the reins, the running body barely stopped, but with a painful long tear, after lifting the two front legs, he couldn't help but fall to one side, and unfortunately, the side it fell to was where Shi Lei stood.

The galloping horse tore for a long time, and suddenly Shi Lei, who was in deep thought, woke up, and when he saw what happened, Shi Lei was about to hide to the side, but this was not an official road, but some good believers in some Wanshou Temple were built by someone, and it was originally able to pass an ox cart, but on both sides of the road was a wide canal.

Seeing that there was no way to hide, in desperation, Shi Lei couldn't help but get short, so he got into the belly of the horse, and then quickly flashed to the other side, but even so, Shi Lei's body couldn't help but be stepped on the shoulder by the jumping horse's hooves, and felt the sharp pain in the shoulder, Shi Lei grinned while thinking angrily in his heart: His grandmother's, people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

"Ahhh

Just when Shi Lei was checking the injuries on his body, a low cry for help came into his ears, and when he looked up, he found that the cry for help came from the other side, it turned out that what happened suddenly just now, although the horse knight stopped the horse at a critical moment, but because of too much inertia, the horse's front legs were in the air and he was thrown off.

Hearing the cry for help, Shi Lei suddenly crossed the horse, and by the bright moonlight in the sky, he searched for the knight who had landed, and took a look, not to mention people on the narrow road, not even a big stone, seeing this situation, Shi Lei's heart suddenly screamed badly, and immediately lay down on the side of the canal, and saw a black shadow on the ground in the canal.

This roadside canal was originally used by farmers to irrigate the farmland, although it is not deep, but it is also half a man high, and fortunately the crops in the field have been harvested, and there is no water in this canal, otherwise, the consequences are even more unimaginable, and in addition to this knight, he fell from his horse, so it can be seen that he must have fallen not lightly.

"Ah, how are you, it doesn't matter." Seeing this situation, Shi Lei did not go down blindly, but asked first, he who has a deep understanding of the porcelain incident in later generations, this precaution is still there.

As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, he saw the figure of the person below shake for a moment, and then spread on the ground and did not move, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, "Ah, it hurts me, my legs, my legs can't move." ”

Hearing the cry accompanied by a sharp voice below, Shi Lei judged that this person's age was not too old, although Shi Lei was very unwilling, but he couldn't watch him stay alone in the canal and walk away, otherwise, maybe he would die before dawn.

Shi Lei, who secretly sighed that he was not good for the year, could only jump into the ditch.

Hearing the sound of falling, he saw that the knight slowly raised his head, this look, suddenly made Shi Lei feel a burst of surprise in his heart, although he had already judged from the sound that the person riding the horse was not too big, but he did not expect that he was so young and so charming.

Yes, after Shi Lei thought about it for a long time, he could only use the word bewitching to describe him, in the era of the information explosion in the later generations, he saw a lot of various transgenders and disguised pseudo-girls, but when he saw this knight, he couldn't help but feel amazed.

Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.

If this was a woman, Shi Lei wouldn't have too many thoughts in his heart, but seeing that sassy riding outfit, Shi Lei felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But although he was uncomfortable, Shi Lei couldn't see death without help, "That, you bear with it now, I'll show you how your injuries are." Shi Lei said to the knight lying in the ditch.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, the knight was barely there, nodded slightly, and stopped talking, although Chinese medicine is also divided into specialties, but it is not as detailed as Western medicine, especially in ancient times, because of the shortage of doctors, every doctor has to understand all kinds of diseases.

The probe gently stroked the knight's legs, Shi Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the bones are fine, but the joints are a little misaligned, as long as they are connected.

"Okay, it's okay, it's just a little misplaced, now I'll help you pick it up, it'll be fine right away, don't move around!" In order to get rid of this matter as soon as possible, Shi Lei didn't say too much nonsense.

"Huhu, I'm dying of pain, you actually say I'm fine, will you see a doctor." When the knight heard Shi Lei's words, he immediately shouted loudly.

It's good that he doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Shi Lei is even more pimpled on his body, not only does he look charming, but his voice actually looks like a woman.

Shi Lei, who was uncomfortable, was not talking at this time, but just grabbed the knight's leg with his probing hand.

"Ah, what are you doing, you whore." Feeling Shi Lei's movements, the knight suddenly shouted in panic.

However, Shi Lei, who had made up his mind to solve this problem as soon as possible and left here early, did not say anything, only saw that as soon as he used his hands hard, he heard a soft sound of "click", and then the knight screamed loudly in pain, and then fainted.
