Chapter 16 Chongyang is a chrysanthemum

"No need, let's rest for a while and wait until we reach the top of the mountain." Waving his hand, Ah Fu took the suitcase, lowered his head and took a few steps back, and disappeared like an invisible person.

"Here the forest is lush and the bamboo is cultivated, and we don't seem to be here to say goodbye, but like we're here to go out. Mingwen, this place is quiet, do you often come? Turning to his student, he asked.

"Students don't come very often, and they are often at home when they are not enrolled." Mingwen wanted to get up and reply, but the gentleman motioned for him to sit.

Ming Wu on the side dragged Yuehua here and there to take a look, he went home like a tiger returning to the mountain, and he was happy, "Ah Yue, do you know?" There is a waterhole not far from this mountain stream, which is quite deep, your second brother and I have been in the water before, do you know where it is? ”

I don't know, I've been in it for a while, not long ago, but you can't find out, "I know." ”

"Hey, you know? The place was quite remote, and we had to walk a little way inside, and my father and mother never let us go there. Tang Mingwu was surprised, only a warrior like himself dared to go to that place, right?

"I accidentally saw it the last time I was chasing ducks." Tang Yuehua explained, but second brother, you seem to have told me your handle.

"Then do you know that there is a field under the tea garden next to it that belongs to you, and you should still be planting sweet potatoes? It's been a long time since I've eaten roasted sweet potatoes, and I really want to bring some sweet potatoes to the mountains to roast and eat. ”

"Field, sweet potato?" I ate melons and ate them in my own field, and I couldn't cry or laugh when I thought of it.

"Ah Yue, look at it, is there a dogwood over there, let's go over and pick some fruits and come back, and give them to Mr. and eldest brother." Tang Mingwu saw red dogwood fruits hanging on the branches in the distance.

"Here we are." Tang Yuehua followed.

Tang Mingwu stood under the dogwood tree, stretched out his hand to pick those red and bright dogwood fruits, and from time to time stood on tiptoe to go to the dogwood fruits far enough, and saw Tang Yuehua who came to his side, "Ah Yue, come here, insert the dogwood." As he spoke, he picked out a dogwood from his hand and inserted it in his sister's hair, and it was the bright color of the fruit that made his sister's face more and more black and yellow, thinking about some regrets, his family seemed to be like this for his sister's complexion, and there were large dark spots on it.

"Still don't." Tang Yuehua thought of his face, and wanted to take off the dogwood fruit in his hair, but forget it, without looking in the mirror, he knew that inserting some red and glamorous fruits on a somewhat terrifying head was really a bit eerie, and he still didn't want to be scary, there were still outsiders today.

"Today is Chongyang, everyone has a hairpin, you can ward off evil and keep you safe, you are not allowed to take it down, I heard my mother say that you lost your soul last time, and you have been sick for some time, you should have a few more hairpins." As he spoke, he was about to put the dogwood hairpin in his hand on Tang Yuehua's hair.

"I won't take it down, second brother, that's it, it's okay, let's leave some for the people behind, there are not many dogwoods in the mountains, there should be a lot of people climbing today." Saying that, he ran away and went back to the place where the eldest brother and them rested, just kidding, a branch is already very scary, and with a head full of red fruits, wouldn't he have become a human-shaped fruit basket, or a very mad one.

Just pay attention to the sense of ritual to ward off evil spirits, and it is not measured by quantity, besides, second brother, you are a scholar, how can you be so superstitious, let's talk about science or not. Tang Yuehua didn't realize that at the moment, shouldn't Tang Yuehua be the most unspeakable of science?

"Don't go, wait for me." As he spoke, he broke a few more branches into the tree.

The three people on the side of the mountain stream looked at Tang Yuehua who came over, and knew that Tang Mingwu must have played tricks on him again, "Ah Yue, but your second brother is playing tricks on you again." Did you find Dogwood? "Seeing the bright red dogwood in my sister's hair, it turned out that they had just gone looking for the dogwood fruit.

"Mingwu, don't tease Ah Yue," Tang Mingwen said solemnly.

"No, big brother, it's Ah Yue, it's Ah Yue who doesn't want to hairpins, my mother didn't say that she was sick for a long time last time because of her lost soul, I want to give her more hairpins." Tang Mingwu replied with some grievances, why is it always me who is criticized.

"Mingwu, Zi is silent, and the strange power is confused." Mr. said, in fact, that is to say, there are few people here who do not believe in the things of gods and ghosts, and the saints today are very worshipful of gods and Buddhas, but the people who read are not good and too direct.

"Yes, sir."

"Our resting place is almost over, go to the top of the mountain early, and then go to Meishan Temple to see Master Kongming."

The group inserted dogwoods, drank water and continued to go up, through bamboo forests and woods, thanks to the blessing of Tang Mingwu, they also ate August melons and myrtles along the way, and everyone's teeth were a little black.

The surrounding trees turned into jagged strange rocks, and the field of vision suddenly became empty, and they could already see the top of the mountain not far away, and everyone quickened the pace of their feet, and when they reached the top of the mountain, in addition to some weeds, there were a few pine trees scattered on it.

"The scenery here is beautiful, and the view is wide, which is a good place to climb, fortunately!" The gentleman stroked his short beard and looked at Meishan Village in full view, as well as other villages around, and could also see a winding river at the foot of the mountain, "Mingwu, come, take the view of the sea on your back." ”

"Ha, oh, the east is on the Jieshi to watch the sea. The water is surging, the mountains and islands are surging and the autumn breeze is bleak, and the waves are surging...... "Tang Mingwu thought about reciting poems when he traveled with his husband.

"Yes, you need to pay more attention to the rhythm, and pay attention to the pauses." The gentleman nodded.

Ah Fu over there has already set up pastries and wine, waiting for a few people to come over, on it is mainly a plate of nine-story Chongyang cake, there are two cute rice made of lamb on it, which means Chongyang, and there are also a few plates of five-color cakes, chrysanthemum cakes and some osmanthus cakes, which look refreshing and delicious.

My mother is really a treasure, how can I be so ingenious, I don't seem to have much interest in this, and I don't know if I will be disgusted by my mother in the future, crying and chirping, but how do these decorations be maintained? This concentration is good enough, and he glanced at Ah Fu vaguely.

Not only Tang Yuehua was amazed by his mother's craftsmanship, but even Mr. and his servants were a little surprised, the village women in the mountains and wilderness also had such good craftsmanship, just looking at the presentation and color matching made people feel mouthful.

Taste the pastries on the plate one by one, and look at the surrounding scenery, it is refreshing, in the autumn season, eat delicious food in a beautiful place, and drink a cup of chrysanthemum drink, it is really a great joy in life, fast and happy!
