Chapter 228: Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet (1)
Shang Ruohuai has never been emotional, and the situation at this time may be different
Never had a relationship...... When this sentence appeared in Huai Sleeve's heart, he was suddenly surprised, could it be that he regretted it
Knocking on the door of her heart again, she smiled quietly, shook her head gently, put the jade rabbit in her hand like a box, picked up the scroll next to her, and turned around
Jian Yue and Yingxue looked at the joy on their faces, and quietly receded, until finally they indifferently let go of the jade rabbit, and the two looked at each other and did not understand their meaning
Just as he was about to return to the study, the crescent moon carried a small bamboo basket and jumped into the garden like a bird
He shouted, "Master, Master, I found something fun......"
When Huai Sleeve looked at the courtyard, the crescent moon had already run in with a small basket made of bamboo strips, held the small basket and handed it to Huai Sleeve and said, "Master, look at this, have you ever seen this?"
Looking at the crescent moon in his arms, he couldn't help but be interested in carrying a basket of red and willow green gadgets in his hands
Although the sleeves are deliberately restrained on weekdays, after all, it is a young temperament, and he reached out to take a clay rabbit, only to see that the rabbit is different from what he sees every day, but it is the same as the appearance of a person, standing with a costume painted on his body, and riding a spotted tiger under his body, which is interesting
In addition, there are those dressed as military generals wearing armor and robes, and there are also those with paper flags or paper umbrellas on their backs, and those who sit or stand have unicorns, tigers and leopards, and so on
Huai Sleeve picked it up one by one, looked at it and asked the crescent moon with a smile: "This thing looks very rare, I have never seen such a flattering thing made, where did you get it?"
The crescent moon saw that Huai Sleeve liked it, and the happier she became, and said with a smile: "This is the morning when the sixth uncle went to greet the queen mother, brought it in from outside the palace and gave it to me, I think the master must also like this, so I will bring it to you...... What's it called?" said Crescent, tilting her head in thought
Jian Yue and Ying Xue also walked over, Ying Xue picked one up and said with a smile: "I know that this is called Rabbit Lord, August 15th, these days, the streets are all over the street to buy it for adults to coax children to play, and my mother also bought it for me when I was a child."
"If you say the same to Uncle Six, you will be called Master Rabbit," the crescent moon smiled
Hearing Yingxue say that there are crescent moons sold all over the street, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she smiled and said to her sleeves: "Master, the outside is much more interesting than in our palace, another day, let's go to the street to have fun with the emperor's uncle."
With a light smile in his arms, he repeatedly fiddled with a rabbit doll sewn from coarse cloth with yellow flowers on a red background, but he did not answer the crescent moon's words
Seeing that although she didn't speak, her face was kind and pleasant, so she smiled and said, "Master didn't say anything, but he agreed, and I begged the emperor's uncle to go another day."
After saying that, the crescent moon saw the rabbit baby holding the coarse cloth in his hand and smiled: "If Master likes these, just give them to Master."
"Really," he asked with a smile
"Of course, don't talk about these things, as long as you like them, as long as this princess has them, I will give them to you," Crescent said sincerely
Seeing that she really recognized it, Huai Sleeve was also moved in his heart, and instructed Jian Yue: "Take these to my study, don't let others see you, if you want to go, I won't give anyone to you."
Jian Yue took the basket and looked at her sleeves inexplicably, and said in her heart: That priceless inappropriateness is to make these worthless treasures like a treasure, and I really don't know what the girl thinks in her heart
Huai Sleeve didn't care about these at all, and still laughed with the crescent moon
"Are these all the rewards of the festival," the crescent moon saw that the big boxes and small boxes in the hall were placed on the ground, and she couldn't help but walk over and take a look
Seeing that each piece is very exquisite, even the colors of those silk satins are rarely worn by any concubine she usually sees, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that it is a reward from the emperor
"My imperial uncle is really generous...... No, it's important to pay attention to etiquette and send so many gifts to the princess master," the crescent moon knew that Huai Sleeve didn't like her to mention that words, and today was a festival, for fear of annoying her, and when she had an idea, the words turned around again
"Wow, this is so beautiful, so lovely," the crescent moon reached out and held the snowball-like jade rabbit in his hand, caressing it carefully, and suddenly showed a look of loss in his eyes, and complained: "Uncle Huang is so partial to give such a delicate thing to the master, and he doesn't think about me ......"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the jade rabbit's blood-red eyes
"If you like me, I'll give you it," Huai Sleeve blurted out without thinking about it
The crescent moon never thought that she was so generous and actually gave such a precious thing to herself, and her heart was moved
In his hand, he carefully put the jade rabbit back into the box and said with a smile: "Master loves me, I know this thing, the crescent moon dare not ask for it, no matter how high or low it is, it is the reward of the master of the long live master, no matter who it is, no one can remember."
Huai Sleeve knew that the words of the crescent moon were hidden in this sentence, and said with a smile: "Since it has been given to me is mine, I will send it to whoever I want."
Ying Xue and Yueya, who were serving tea on the side, were shocked when they heard this, and both of them also heard the meaning of Huai Sleeve's words, and couldn't help but look at her in amazement
Huai Sleeve was still holding the scroll in his hand, his face was not wavering, he turned his face back and said softly with a smile: "Let's go, don't stay here and stand, help me choose the clothes to wear at the evening banquet," and then reached out and pulled the crescent arm, and went to the inner court
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has had the custom of "autumn twilight and sunset".
The evening moon is to worship the moon god, to the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night to hold the cold and worship the moon, set up a large incense table in the courtyard of the home, put all kinds of cakes, watermelon, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and all kinds of snacks and other rich offerings, among which the most delicate cakes are made of moon cakes
The production of moon cakes is also different in various places, the small one is called "moon cake", the inside is made of sesame seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, green and red silk preserved fruits and other crispy dried fruits to make the filling, its meaning is to pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year, the large one in the moon cake is called "moonlight", the size of the moonlight is different, some are like the size of a disc, and various auspicious patterns are engraved and drawn on it, usually used to pay tribute to the moon god
Among the various fruits that worship the moon god, watermelon is absolutely indispensable
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the watermelon is cut very particularly, to cut into a lotus shape, under the moon, the moon statue is placed in the direction of the moon, the red candle is burning, the whole family worships the moon in turn, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes, and the person who cuts the moon cakes calculates in advance how many people in the whole family are at home, and those in the field must be counted together, and they cannot cut more or less, and even the size must be the same
