717 Spend a Good Moon on a Full Moon Night (Part I)
In the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of families celebrate reunion.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important festivals of the Central Plains, has had the custom of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival since the Zhou Dynasty. In the ancient weekly rituals, the first day of the new year is to worship the sun, and the mid-autumn festival on August 15 is to worship the moon, the importance of which is self-evident.
Since many days ago, the streets and alleys of Lin'an City have begun to fill with a festive atmosphere. It's just that within the high palace walls, in the deceitful backyard, everything is isolated and diluted. Either way, on this important day of the year, everyone took action.
On this day, there are many important celebrations throughout the country. The soldiers on the border should be appeased, the strangers in foreign lands should be worried, the merchants should start trading, and the literati and artists should be in turmoil. At the same time, as the highest ruling person in the country, the emperor also held a series of activities. On the night of 15 August, the imperial family gathered, and all the relatives of the emperor and the state who had some relations with them entered the palace and showed their faces in front of the emperor and ministers.
Those who are interested in competing for the crown must perform vigorously, and those ministers who support their own favorites must also use their own tricks. The concubines also have to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and all kinds of intrigues are indispensable. Even if you think about it with your knees, you know that the reunion night of ordinary people is the brain-burning day of the high-ranking people.
But on this day, the high-ranking and powerful Yang Gonggong decided to skip work.
"Let's go have some fun, shall we?" she proposed, "Let all those messes die, and when you are young, you must have a good Mid-Autumn Festival!"
So the very favored Miao Guifei pushed down all entertainment, and the extremely busy Wu Tongma also put down the scroll in her hand. The young women really let the mess go to death, and ushered in the Mid-Autumn Festival night with full expectations.
In the eighth half of the lunar calendar, the sky is high and cool. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. It was about six o'clock in the afternoon. The western sky retracted the last rays of light. Thousands of homes lit candles. At this time, the three of them dressed up in disguise and slipped out of the palace.
Outside the palace, there is a great flow of people. There is no curfew in Lin'an City today, and it is really a prosperous red dust land.
Jiao Niang looked at the brilliant lights, and there was also light flashing in her eyes: "I've been here for so long, but I never knew that Lin'an City was so lively." ”
Sanmiao listened to the noisy voices, and her expression was also stained by those laughter: "Such a beautiful scene." It's not common in my place either. The rivers and lakes in my place are constantly fighting, which makes it difficult for the people of Li to feel at ease, but it lacks the stability and harmony here. ”
"After all, it is the capital of a large empire in the Central Plains, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, a rotten boat and three catties of nails. Yang Qi patted her waist bag, with a proud look of "I am a big money": "I heard that there is a grand temple fair tonight, you have the courage to eat and play today, sister, I have it all! Young, you must indulge well~"
Thereupon. The three of them began a journey of play.
Yang Qi is a modern person, and Sanmiao is an outsider. Jiao Niang is an old house girl, and such a lively scene tonight is a novelty for the three of them. The three of them put on ordinary skirts and walked slowly forward with the flow of people. Lin'an Road is not wide, similar to a modern pedestrian street, which has a unique leisure and leisure. Lanterns are hung on the high and low eaves, and these lanterns are delicately made and delicately crafted. There are also literati who inscribe poems on the lanterns, which looks very exquisite.
In the streets and alleys, you can see open stalls everywhere. The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates reunion, but it can't stop the businessmen's pursuit of profit. Tonight, everyone is willing to pay for their pockets, how can they let go of such a good opportunity? They have already put out all kinds of good things at the bottom of the box, attracting customers and shouting endlessly.
This trick is very effective, and many children are grouped together, giggling and running back and forth from stall to stall, adding countless vitality. Occasionally, the sound of adults scolding after a child gets into trouble will also cause a burst of laughter around. And seeing this scene, how could someone who was young, rich, and willful endure it? He had already pulled the two of them left and right, and rushed over with his eyes shining.
- "Steamed buns, hot steamed buns, girl, will you have one?"
"Buy, buy, buy!" So the three of them had a big bun, and someone complained while eating: "Sanmiao, look good, does Jiao Niang look like a squirrel holding the bun in her hand?" "Hey, it's really!"
Jiao Niang wrinkled her nose at the two, and then blew on the big bun.
The man didn't lie, it was really a hot bun. Whew-whew, look, you can blow out white smoke.
Blowing and eating, no one uses real gas.
- "Sweet beans, sweet beans that lose their teeth, don't be sweet and don't need money!"
"Buy, buy, buy!" So the three of them each took a handful of sweet beans, and someone threw them into the sky one by one, and swayed left and right to catch them with their mouths. Sanmiao also threw it into the air, and someone immediately reached out and poked Sanmiao's laughing waist acupoint with a bad eye: "Eat my control technique!" And Jiao Niang's eyes suddenly flashed, and she grabbed someone's shoulders like a jumping goat and flew over, just like a dolphin jumping out of the water, she took the jelly beans in her mouth with a small mouth.
"Master, you ......" "Comrade Sanmiao, you have to recognize the real enemy, I am a praying mantis catching cicadas, but there is still a yellow finch behind!" "Lalala, I am behind the yellow finches, you bite me~" "If you have the ability, don't run, stop me!"
The man didn't lie, it was really a very sweet sweet bean. Put it in your mouth and take it, well, it's as sweet as honey.
Chasing and chasing, no one uses the ability.
- "Noodle pinchers, noodle pinchers, good-looking noodle people! girls, do you want noodle people?"
"Buy, buy, buy!—uh, wait, who's all that you're doing?"
"This is Chang'e running to the moon, this is Wu Gang Fagui, this is Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, which one do you like?"
Looking at those abstract faces, someone pinched their chin and groaned, "Hmm...... It doesn't seem to be good...... By the way, boss, I'll give you money, you rent us the materials and tools, and we'll make it ourselves. ”
"Do you pinch it yourself......?" Will you pinch it?"
"You don't care, you don't lack your money in anything. Come, this scrap of silver is enough for you to sell a hundred noodles, go over there and buy some sweet beans to eat for a while. Stuffing money with his left hand and pushing people with his right hand, someone instantly occupied the stall of the noodle person, and beckoned to the other two: "Come on, come on." Let's do it ourselves! Watch me make a set of luxury figurines~"
Thereupon. The three of them began to struggle around the noodle stall. The process of doing handicrafts was full of surprises and fun, and in the onlookers of countless curious passers-by, the three of them kept kneading and molding the dough clay in their hands. Even if they don't deliberately use martial arts, people who have practiced kung fu to the extreme depth are very different from ordinary people when kneading dough, and their fingers are light, dexterous, and stable, which makes the surrounding viewers sigh from time to time.
In an instant, a group of bear children leaned over, staring left and right with big eyes. A little child came to Jiao Niang's side and asked in a milky voice, "Sister." What are you pinching, it's so beautiful. ”
Jiao Niang smiled at the child: "This is a big hero." ”
"Big hero?" The child's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I know, I know, it's Zhao Zilong, right? You see, the big hero is carrying a child on his back and holding a spear, it's definitely Zhao Zilong!" Although there is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms yet, the story of the Three Kingdoms is already circulating.
"Hehe, almost, I'll give it to you. Jiao Niang stuffed the pinched noodles into the child's hands. In the sound of the children's cheers, the two of them got up and left.
"Ah, wait. My Twelve Golden Saint Seiya has just been pinched, and there is still one Athena left to live!"
"Come on, I see there's a more interesting one over there. ”
"Fun, where, where is it, kill it quickly!"
The dough kneader is indeed interesting, but there is more to it than that. This Mid-Autumn Festival night, let's seize the time to play one by one. Ninety-six years old, I have never been so presumptuous, I have never experienced it like this. But tonight, I really don't want to miss it.
For three hours, they ate snacks, played games, and drew cheerful lines between the stalls. Those snacks are not really that delicious, and those games may not be really that fun, and the pampered princess and lady are probably disdainful of these things. Just like children living in the era of next-generation consoles, it is rare for them to be obsessed with Xiaobawang.
But today, the three of them are particularly interested, they feel that everything they eat is delicious, and they feel that everything is fun.
Perhaps, soaking in this sea of joy is a very happy thing in itself.
Perhaps, it's just greedily enjoying the fun of red dust, treating every day as the end of the world.
Knock, knock, knock, the bell of the temple on the outskirts of Lin'an was struck, and the sound of Zen rhyme was heard from afar. The moon is in the middle of the sky, sprinkled with clear light, the time for carnival has passed, and it is time to enjoy the moon. Pedestrians on the street left and dispersed in groups, and the lively temple fair had ended. People went home one by one to reunite, enjoying the joy of the reunion festival, and Lin'an City gradually quieted down.
And Yang Qi and the three of them also returned to the palace.
"Come with me, I know a place where the view is a must. "Yang Gonggong, as the largest head snake, naturally has a clear position. The three of them walked around, and finally came to the shore of Dalong Lake.
The palace has a well-developed water system and small lakes dotted around. But all the scattered small lakes together can't catch up with half of the big dragon lake. Dalong Lake is worthy of having a "big" word in its name, and the area is really not small. Standing on the edge of this big dragon lake, the cool breeze is slow, the waves are gusting, and this big lake actually has a feeling of being smoky and vast.
Dalong Lake is next to Banzai Mountain, and the place where Yang Qi took the two of them is the junction of mountains and water. The thin and soft lawn stretched down the hillside to the lake, and Yang Qi flew and pounced, and lay down on the grass with a poof. She patted the warm invitation beside her: "Come, this place picked by the widow has good wind, good scenery, few mosquitoes, and even this lawn is very comfortable to lie on, why don't you hurry up and enjoy it?"
"Obey the holy order~" San Miao lay on Yang Qi's left, raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side of the lake and said: "Look, the emperor, ministers, and concubines are all banqueting on the other side of the lake, and I can even hear the sound of talking in the wind." ”
"Hmm. Jiao Niang sat on Yang Qi's right, looked at the brilliant lights opposite, and nodded slightly distractedly: "But it's really beautiful." ”
On the other side of the lake, a series of royal painting boats are brightly lit, like a long invisible boundary line (Note 1). The lights are reflected in the lake, creating a magnificent and dreamy neon world. However, as the so-called cicada noise forest is more quiet, the noisy banquet sound comes from afar across the vast Dalong Lake, which makes this side appear more quiet and quiet. It was as if this hillside, lawn, and waterside suddenly jumped out of the world and became a world of its own.
For a moment, all three were silent. (To be continued......)
PS: Note 1: The invisible boundary line comes from "The Second Disease Wants to Fall in Love", everyone who has watched the first season of "The Second Disease" understands it. If you haven't seen it, you will know what it is by searching for the picture~~ Today, I went out to play with the two gods in the family for a day, and I came home late. But it's just that there is usually no discipline.,Eleven during the two more will never be in arrears.,I'll get up early tomorrow morning to code words.,Anyway, it will be sent out before noon.。 So, everybody (Erkang stretched out his hand and shouted) - don't sleep, sit and wait!
