Before I knew it, the Chung Yeung Festival had arrived.

This is the first major festival of Wu Festival in the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitable that it is a little fresh.

There were not many festivals of the ancients, and there were only four festivals of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang Festival and Spring Festival. Unlike modern society, in addition to this festival, there are also New Year's Day, March 8, May 1st, May Fourth, June 1st, National Day, and even some people celebrate Christmas.

The ancients celebrated the festival, and generally did not take too long of the holiday, even if it was the Spring Festival, it was only a day off. From the second year of junior high school, if you have a public office, you have to do what you have to do.

Just because there are few festivals and short holidays, when it comes to major solar terms, it is even more grand.

According to Mozi, she estimated that Wu Jie should also go home for the holiday, and entered the examination room after the festival. Therefore, I started to prepare as early as three days ago, bought a lot of fruits, sauce duck and braised pork, and sold several dimes of rice wine.

Unfortunately, these preparations are completely useless.

Early in the morning, Lu Fatzi rushed to Wu Jie's house with a few carriages and a few slaves with wine and food, and asked Wu Jie's whole family to climb the heights together.

Wu Festival is very strange, you don't accompany your family in the house during the Double Ninth Festival, what are you doing here with me.

Lu Chang replied that because his eldest uncle had an envoy on duty, he had to be on duty in Nanya, and he would not be able to come back until evening. And his father had to wait at his grandfather's place, so the whole family gathered at the dinner.

"Chung Yeung Festival, what's the matter if you don't climb high, it's always a little less flavorful. So, brother, I thought about it, so I just came over and asked Brother Jie to go to Xiangshan to play, the weather has gradually cooled, and the maple leaves on the mountain should be red, right? After speaking, he asked the two slaves to stick the dogwood into Wu Jie's head, and even the third child was not spared.

Wu Jie was about to refuse, but he still wanted to clear his essence at home for a day and prepare for this year's township exam. But seeing the moth's happy face, he nodded with a smile.

Since this little girl came to the capital, because Wu Jie was very busy, she hadn't taken her around to take a look, but now it's an opportunity.

Besides, in the modern society, Wu Festival has also been to Xiangshan, but unfortunately the time is not right, and I have not seen the red leaves, which is a pity, and today is a wish.

Not only the moth, but even the third daughter's daughter was very excited.

So, with a sound of each other, Wu Jie's family of four, together with the fat man and others, roared and rushed straight to Xiangshan.

Xiangshan is not far from Yanjing City, and it is a spacious official road, and there are cars and horses traveling along the way, but it does not seem to be blocked. There is a pavilion every ten miles on the side of the road, and there are officials of Shuntianfu on duty in the pavilion. He walked so fast that he came out of the city gate and arrived at the ground in less than two hours. It's about a dozen kilometers away.

Wu Jie and the fat man sat in a car, thinking that Lu Chang would have a lot to say after getting in the car. But as soon as this kid's butt stuck to his seat, he fell asleep to death, probably because he stayed up late last night to study.

Wu Jie was also helpless, and it was not easy to wake him up, so he curled up in his seat and took a nap. Until he was woken up by a strong smell of feet, he opened his eyes and saw that the fat man didn't know when he had taken off his shoes, and his stinky feet had come to his mouth.

Wu Jie was furious and slapped him: "Fatty, how long have you not washed your feet, and your socks are black like this?" ”

"Wash your feet, wash your feet." Lu Fatzi muttered a few times, straightened up in a daze, and leaned his head against the wall of the car coyly: "I don't remember, probably the day before yesterday." ”

As he was talking, the carriage stopped, and a servant of the Lu Mansion picked up the curtain: "Wu Jie Gongzi, Second Master, Xiangshan has arrived." ”

As soon as the curtain was opened, a cool breeze blew into the car, bringing this hint of autumn coolness.

Wu Jie perked up and jumped out of the carriage.

But I saw that there were gorgeous carriages everywhere at the foot of the mountain, and several of them were pure white tall horses, and the wheels and carriages were still wrapped with white copper edges, and it seemed that the owner of the carriage must be a noble man in Beijing.

As for the other carriages, they are all as beautiful as they can be.

It is a tradition for the whole family to climb together during the Chung Yeung Festival, because there are really a lot of people at the foot of the mountain, and there are many female dependents among them, and they do not avoid people.

The sun is still very strong, but it doesn't feel the slightest burning sensation on the skin.

Looking up, the four fields were empty, and a strong wind howled across the Northland fields.

The wild wind is broad, majestic and magnificent, so rivers and mountains.

But Sichuan can't see it.

Suddenly, Wu Jie only felt that his heart was open-minded, and his whole person seemed to be washed transparent by the autumn wind.

The summer has finally passed, and the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing is about to pass.

"Brother Jie, what are you looking at?" The fat man blinked when he saw Wu Jiedong's appearance: "Are you thinking about the little witch, but you are probably going to be disappointed, the female devil didn't come with you today." ”

"Who misses her, fatty, don't talk nonsense." Wu Jie smiled: "She's your sister-in-law." ”

"Come less." The fat man crutched Wu Jie with his elbow: "Let's be honest, the female devil is still good-looking, and it's cheap Lin Tingchen that birdman." Grandpa said that he would only wait for Lin Tingchen to be promoted, and let them get married after the New Year, and there would be only a few months left. ”

"In this township test, the forest bird man can win, but the jinshi is not easy to say. It's hard to say this kind of thing in Chunqiu, anyway, after I won the promotion, I went to find a position, and I didn't want to suffer from the kind of suffering of Jinshike. ”

Lu Chang walked towards the mountain with Wu Jie, and said, "The female devil is busy learning from female red, a girl always has to learn this kind of thing." The so-called: women's appearance, women's morality, women's workers, the women who go out of our Lu family, can't let people see jokes, right? These days, she is being locked in the house by her mother and practicing hard with needlework! ”

Thinking of Miss Lu San picking up the needle and thread embroidery, Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh. However, when she thought that she was going to marry Lin Tingchen, she suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart, and she didn't speak anymore, and climbed up the mountain with her head down.

Seeing that Wu Jie quickened his pace, the others also hurriedly climbed up.

This time, Lu Fatzi also brought a lot of entourage, including four boys and three girls. Among them, there is a girl who is older, looks about ten ** years old, and is also very prestigious in the crowd, it should be the big girl Lilac who has been harmonized by the dead fat man.

Because of the large number of people, as soon as they climbed up the mountain, each person's physical strength was different, some were fast and some were slow, and the team was quickly stretched out.

Lian Laosan's daughter was the weakest, and she fell at the end, there was no way, Lian Laosan could only climb up with her on her back.

Among them, Wu Jie has the best physical fitness and rushes to the front. Lilac's physical strength is also good, the most strange time for Wu Jie, the dead fat man actually followed closely behind him and did not fall behind, about this time I stayed up late to study, and after losing weight, the burden on my body was smaller.

Wu Jie was inexplicably depressed in his heart, and he didn't speak on the road.

The Xiangshan in this year is very different from the later generations, and many of the attractions have not appeared, such as Jianxinzhai, Zhao Temple, and Xiangshan Temple, which are somewhat disappointing.

After climbing for a long time, there is still the last part of the road to reach the peak, but there are more people on the road, and I can't go fast.

Looking up, the group in front of him seemed to be a group, walking very slowly, and the leader was a fat man, who looked bigger than Lu Chang after losing weight. The fat man was dressed very plainly, with only a blue robe on his body, which had been washed white, and there were a few patches on the neckline and elbows. The others were just as simple, shabby, and obviously small. It is estimated that a large family took advantage of the festival to run over and climb the heights.

However, two of these people are very unique. The most eye-catching is a pregnant woman, this pregnant woman is about twenty-four or five years old, and she is beautiful, but her chin is a little pointed, and she has a white face that does not see the sun all year round.

Her eyes are crystal clear, and when she looks at people, her eyes are like trying to see people through.

The woman's belly was as big as a ball, and she should have been seven or eight months pregnant.

She sat on a sliding pole, and the two porters lifted it very carefully.

The other man was a scribe, about forty years old, with three long beards, a thin face, and a handsome uncle.

The sliding rod has already accounted for half of the mountain road, and the middle-aged fat man will be unable to walk through it again.

Lu Chang waited impatiently in the back, and shouted: "Hey, the fat man in front of you is out of the way, don't get in the way." ”

He was already fat, and it was rare to meet someone who was fatter than himself, and he suddenly became a little happy.

As soon as Lu Chang's words fell, a group of people turned their heads at the same time and glared at Lu Chang angrily.

Lu Fatzi is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth: "What do you see, what, what, unconvinced?" ”

"Bold!" The middle-aged scribe, Uncle Shuai's face sank, and he shouted in a low voice: "Where did the kid come from to spread wild here?" ”

"You don't care where I am, we're just a little common people. Why, are you officials, it's not like it! Why is it so domineering? ”

The fat man was about to make trouble again, and the middle-aged fat man suddenly whispered: "Mr. Tan, we shouldn't have blocked the road, let them go first." ”

Mr. Tan shook his head when he heard this: "Yes, Mr. Fu." ”

He waved his hand at the others: "Get out of the way!" ”

Others neatly moved to the side of the road.

At this time, Wu Jie noticed the abnormality of this pedestrian.

If it is an ordinary family, there should be men and women. But among this group of people, except for this pregnant woman, and Mr. Tan, they are all strong men, and no matter how you look at it, nothing is right.

Seeing that everyone got out of the way, Lu Fatzi rushed over with a puff of smoke.

Because of Lu Narrow, he accidentally bumped into that rich gentleman.

The two fat men collided, and in the end, Mr. Fu suffered a small loss, and one of his feet stumbled.

Wu Jieyi stretched out his hand to hold him: "Be careful." ”

Mr. Fu turned his head and smiled gently at Wu Jie: "Thank you." ”

Wu Jie also smiled back: "You're welcome, by the way, your lady has been a few months and is about to give birth, congratulations." ”

Mr. Fu heard Wu Jie mention this fork, and his face was happy: "Joy, joy." ”

Wu Jie let go of his hand and walked forward: "Mr. Fu, your lady is pregnant for the first time." This pregnant woman has to move around so that she will not have a difficult birth in the future. People exercise more, have a better appetite, eat more, and become stronger. In the future, the child will be born in good health. ”

Seeing that Mr. Fu was kind, Wu Jie had a good impression of him and couldn't help but remind him. In ancient times, the birth of a woman's first child was more dangerous than going to the battlefield, and the maternal dystocia mortality rate was also extremely high. This is especially true of wealthy families, pregnant women in the Gaomen mansion are not in good health because of little exercise, and many people have difficulty giving birth.

According to modern medicine, pregnant women need to take a walk, so that the fetal position can be corrected during exercise.

Seeing that this woman's face is very white, it is estimated that she does not go out of the house very often, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in giving birth to children in the future.

Wu Jie kindly reminded her, didn't look back, and walked forward quickly to chase the fat man.

Mr. Fu's voice came from behind his ears: "Madam, there is some truth in this little scholar's words, why don't you go down and walk a few steps." I hold you, don't be afraid. Mr. Tan, what do you think? ”

"It seems to make some sense." Mr. Tan's voice came faintly: "Women belong to yin, and they need to see more to reconcile yin and yang." ”

"In this case, the concubine went down to the ground and walked."

After walking forward for a while, Wu Jie looked back, and the group of people was still walking very slowly, and they had fallen far behind, and had been overtaken by Moth's group.

However, I can still vaguely see the rich gentleman helping his wife staggering on the mountain road.

……

After walking for a long time, I finally reached the peak.

When Wu Festival came, the road was shady, and along the way, the maple leaves were still green. But when I got to the top of the mountain, I looked ahead, but it was red and gorgeous, as if someone had smeared it between heaven and earth with a large pen dipped in cinnabar. The bright red color was overwhelming, and the atmosphere was so overwhelming that people were almost out of breath.

was blown by the fierce mountain wind, and the unhappiness that Lu Shuang was about to marry just now suddenly disappeared.

Wu Jie couldn't help but let out a long howl and shouted loudly into the valley: "Ahhhh ”

Lu Fatzi also followed: "Ahhhh ”

……

Wu Jie: "Husband, the one of heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things; Those who have time, a hundred generations of passers-by! ”

Lu Chang: "And floating like a dream, how happy is it?" ”

"Haha, haha!" In the laughter of the two, the valley echoed, stirring up a roar, startling a flock of egrets.

"It's noisy, it's noisy!" The moth's voice came, and when I looked back, they all followed.

"Second Young Master, Ken was tired." The eldest girl of the Lu Mansion lovingly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on the forehead of the dead fat man, just like the eldest sister to the younger brother.

And even the third child put his daughter down on the ground, and even Guizhi wiped his father's sweat with a cotton towel.

There is a very open meadow at the top of the mountain, and there is no one else, but it is clean.

"It's good here, don't touch me." Lu Chang unhappily pushed Lilac's hand away: "Let's have fun here." ”

When he came, he prepared a lot of things, and at the sound of an order, the four boys untied the contents of the cage on their backs.

Someone quickly spread a scarlet carpet on the ground, and there were more and more exquisite food on the table.

didn't shirk, Wu Jie sat on the stall with his buttocks, and poured a bowl of rice wine with a bang.

Because the two masters are easy-going people, and the others are not restrained, they all sit on the grass in twos and threes, eating and chatting at the same time, and the atmosphere is not bad.

Wu Jie saw that Lilac was following the dead fat man step by step, and suddenly had some gossip: "Lilac girl, is it true that the second son said that he studied hard at home during this time?" ”

Lilac was proud: "That's natural, the second young master is a high-minded person, and he refuses to lose to another room in the imperial examination......" Probably aware of her gaffe, she hurriedly covered her small mouth and said in a low voice: "Anyway, that's the case, since Wu Gongzi can write a book like "The Story of the Stone", he knows everything in the wealthy family. Anyway, if the second young master doesn't care anymore, he will inevitably become a disgusting thing like Jia Huan in the book in the future. ”

"You've also seen "The Stone"?" Wu Jie is a little proud.
