Chapter 137: Midyear Festival
But fortunately, Yazhi's heart is very strong, and since then, he has begun to talk with everyone, and he has returned to the appearance of a fairy, so he is not happy.
Everyone chatted until midnight, and then took the carriage back, and the emperor went back to the palace, while the others went back to the Yellow Mansion.
Because it was too late today, Mu Tianxiang let Luyi go back to the room by herself.
Get up early the next morning, the sun is already rising, the green has been waiting outside the door, looking at the smiling green, she can't help but be a little sorry, after washing, the porridge presented by the maid is not as light as usual, there is even a little meat slices in a bowl, and then look at the pastry, it is all red dates and peanuts on it. And the pastries are also colorful, printed with words, and they look abnormal, but Mu Tianxiang feels that this is very similar to the moon cakes in the previous life, is it ......
"Green, what kind of festival is it today?"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Girl, today is not a festival, but three days later is the Midyear Festival, our capital, unlike other places, has begun the festival three days in advance, these things must be eaten before the Midyear Festival three days ago, you taste it, this pastry is made by the master master in the house, the whole capital can not find a better than the master master's craftsmanship, you see this plum blossom, is it lifelike? ”
Mu Tianxiang heard her say this, and sure enough, she lowered her head to look at the flowers carved on the pastries in different shapes, and it was really delicate and abnormal, she picked up one and tasted it, her mouth was full of fragrance, which was more delicious than all the pastries in her previous life!
It is worthy of the praise of greenery, although most of the food in ancient times is not as good as modern ones, but only this pastry, more than modern more delicious than a little bit, pure handmade, no additives, that fine live production, is really the best delicacy.
Mu Tianxiang couldn't hold back for a while, ate the pastry, and looked at the green with some embarrassment.
Lu Yi smiled, "Girl don't have to be shy, this pastry made by the master, I've eaten ten in a row for the first time!" I almost even ate my son's share! ”
Mu Tianxiang couldn't help but smile at what she said, stretched out and walked out of the door, only to see that the yard was full of busy little maids, busy sweeping the yard, and some were hanging lanterns.
Mu Tianxiang remembered that the Midyear Festival here is the modern Mid-Autumn Festival, eating moon cakes, admiring the moon, appreciating the lanterns, or a good time for a lover to date, then think about it again, no wonder the moon last night was so good, it turned out to be close to the Midyear Festival.
In ancient times, in the memory of the original Mu Tianxiang, the village was also a festival, and the people with slightly better conditions went to the market to buy fish and sell meat, and then bought some pastries back, if there were children at home, they had to buy a lantern, and like the Mu family, during the Midyear Festival, the Shen family would make a new set of clothes for each of the two children, and then take them to the town to celebrate the festival with their own husbands, so that not only the wages are still taken, but also have a good time.
And others, just eat a full meal, in Mu Tianxiang's memory, Feng can care about the Midyear Festival, because of the holiday, the work is heavier than before, the only thing that can be comforted is that Feng will bring pastries back from the market, although it will not be a good pastry, but she and Mu Erya can share a piece is already happy, that sweet and greasy taste, probably the best thing to eat in a year.
Usually they are reluctant to eat, hide until midnight, take advantage of Li Chun'er's sleep, quietly run to the back of the house, while looking at the moon, while eating a small bite, that is not half the size of a palm, can be eaten for three days!
And this year, I want to come to the Midyear Festival to spend in the capital, because of the exceptionally cold this year, she almost forgot this festival, in the memory of the original owner, when she usually celebrated this festival, she was still wearing a single clothes, and now she even wears a cloak.
In the yard, Mu Erya was playing with a rabbit lamp with great interest, and when she saw Mu Tianxiang getting up, she beckoned to her happily, "Sister, sister, come quickly!" ”
Mu Tianxiang smiled and said, "What makes you so happy?" ”
Mu Erya raised the lamp in her hand and said, "Sister, you help me take a look, there are riddles on this rabbit lamp, but I can't guess it, ask this girl, she even refused to tell me, saying that Huang Gongzi specially prepared it and kept it for the night to show off!" ”
Mu Tianxiang walked in to take a look, and saw a small poem written on the lamp in small block letters: "The tree opens its eyes, the boy sleeps in the house, the conscience is a little lacking, and the sunset is left by the rabbit."
Fortunately, it was written in regular script, and Mu Tianxiang barely recognized all the words, but this made her think that if she guessed the riddle, she still didn't want to open her mouth casually, and if she couldn't recognize any unrecognizable words, she would be folded on it!
Mu Erya knew that her sister had not learned words, but she was not sure, so she still read the poem to make sure that Mu Tianxiang could understand it, but before she finished reading, Mu Tianxiang said, "This mystery is to see each other late!" ”
The maid smiled and said, "Miss Mu is really smart, but Childe has been flipping through the book for several days to get these sentences, I didn't expect Miss Mu to guess it so quickly, I'm afraid that Childe will vomit blood when he knows that he is annoyed." ”
Lu Yi said next to him, "What's the matter, it's just vomiting blood, just let the son prick himself with a few stitches." Who made Miss Mu so smart, I'm afraid that when I let the girl go to the street on the day of the Midyear Festival, the lanterns on that street will not run away. ”
Mu Tianxiang smiled silently, she could guess the lantern riddle naturally not how smart she was, but it was boring for a while, Taobao just did an activity, Taobao bookstore book buy one get one free, she had itchy hands for a while, so she bought a bunch of books back, but it happened that the business was a little weak, and she had nothing to do, so she turned the book, including a couplet, and a book of lantern riddles, let her look at it twice, at that time I didn't understand why I did this, I couldn't control my hands at all, but now I understand, all come in handy......
But she didn't dare to guess this riddle, for no other reason, mainly because she was illiterate......
Walking around the courtyard of the house, Mu Tianxiang remembered that Wu Nianqing seemed to have said that her good day was the day before the Midyear Festival, and she didn't pay attention to it at that time, so it would be two days later. At that time, the perfume and balm that Mu Tianxiang sent to her could only be regarded as makeup in ancient times, and she really needed a decent gift to participate in family affairs, otherwise she would come to the door empty-handed, for fear of being ridiculed.
Mu Tianxiang thought for a while, and then said, "Luyi, do you know where the largest jewelry store in the capital is?" ”
