On the ninth day of September,

Chung yeung festival.

The origin of the name "Chongyang" comes from the ancient book "I Ching" in the "Yang Yao is nine".

In the Book of Changes, "six" is set as a yin number, "nine" is set as a yang number, and it is also a "pole number", referring to the height of the sky as "ninefold".

"Nine" is the old yang, is the number of anodes, the number of two anodes is together, ninety-nine is one, one yuan is the beginning, and Vientiane is renewed.

It's for Chongyang!

The Double Ninth Festival began in ancient times, popularized in the Western Han Dynasty, and flourished in the Sui Tang Dynasty.

It is one of the very important festivals.

Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote such a poem when he was seventeen years old to miss his relatives in his hometown.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood.

..

On this day, in Yangzhou City, every household is full of dogwoods, lanterns, and feasts for relatives and friends.

There are two big red lanterns hanging at the door of Liu Agarwood Inn, and red happy stickers are plastered all over the window lattice.

On both sides of the door, a few square tables were set up, and some wine and meat were placed on the square tables, and many homeless and ragged people were eating and drinking around the table.

Those who have a good heart, while eating and drinking, do not forget to read a few words: the owner is a good person, the prince is a prince, and the blessing is long.

The inn is even more lively.

In the lobby on the first floor, a few red silks were ripped on the beams, and the ten tables were crowded with nearby neighbors, and the tables were full of chickens, ducks, and fish.

Zhao Tianlong and Xiao Qi were busy before and after, Xiao Qi held the plate, grabbed two pieces with his small hands from time to time, and secretly put them in his mouth to satisfy his hunger.

Li Dapeng led the bride and groom, toasted in the lobby on the first floor, and then came to a room facing the street on the second floor.

In the room, Sun Yuanqing's family of four, Liu Qing's family of five, and then counting the three people of the old Liu family, sat at a big table.

Normally, women are not allowed to serve at the table, but Chen Xiang spoke, and the house is considered a private family banquet, so it is another matter.

thereupon

At a large table, the newcomers of Lao Liu and Han Yunshang sat in the middle, Sun Yuanqing and Li Dapeng on the left, and Liu Qing and Sun Zhou's Shen Yi on the right.

Between men and women, there are the Sun family sisters, the Li family sisters and brothers, and Chen Xiang.

Everyone sat down, and they all saluted the newcomer, and they also knew that Lao Liu couldn't drink, so they had a lively time, and they didn't pour him, but Li Dapeng and Sun Yuanqing were drinking, and Lao Liu Qian was accompanied.

During the banquet, they were all about [agarwood soap].

The name [Agarwood Soap] was naturally named by Chen Xiang Chen Laogou himself, and he wanted to try it to see if he could earn some merit because of it.

But apparently he was overthinking!

But

Although the merit was not earned, the money was not less, and it was even better than expected.

These days, Sun Yuanqing has produced the first batch of soap and sold it in Yangzhou City, and the response has been very good.

This is thanks to Chen Xiang's suggestion, on the template, the poems are engraved in the yang, so that after the soap solidifies, there are poems engraved on the surface.

On each piece of [Agarwood Soap], there is a poem engraved on it, like what: "If life is only as first seen", etc.

This innovative move has made what was originally just an ordinary soap unusual.

There is also the girl in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou, in order to put together a song [If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. I bought eight pieces.

One scent bought eight pieces.

【Agarwood Soap】has four fragrances such as rose, jasmine, peony, osmanthus, etc., one fragrance has eight pieces, and four fragrances are thirty-two pieces.

This is just a poem, if you count Li Qingzhao's [a cut of plum, red lotus fragrance remnant jade autumn]

[Red lotus root incense remnant jade autumn. Lightly untie Luo Shang and go on the Lanzhou alone. Who in the clouds sends the brocade book, when the goose word returns, the moon is full in the west building. The flowers float and the water flows freely. One lovesickness, two sorrows. There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart]

That, a girl, I'm afraid I don't have to buy dozens or hundreds of dollars.

In addition to the girls in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, those who buy more are the ladies and the wealthy girls.

They're really not bad for money!

This is also why Chen Xiang chose these two poems to carve.

These two sad and bitter, faint and resentful poems, for those eldest ladies who are literate and hyphenation, live alone in the boudoir, and are in love, are simply at the level of a nuclear bomb.

It is precisely because of this that [Agarwood Soap] is the first batch alone, and it has been sold out of stock in Yangzhou City.

Sun Yuanqing was very happy, he had already imagined that this [agarwood soap] sold well in the country's fifteenth road and earned tens of thousands of yuan a year.

With this joy, he couldn't help but drink more.

"Virtuous son-in-law, come, accompany the old man to have a drink, haha, Chenglong fast son-in-law, the wisest thing in the old man's life is to recruit a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, Qian'er is so blessed" The old grandson's face was red, and he raised his glass, and he was about to drink with Chen Xiang.

Sun Zhou was on the other side of the table, and it was not easy to talk about her husband, so she coughed lightly when she saw this, but said to her second daughter Sun Qian:

"Qian'er, your father wants to have a drink with your husband, and he won't give your husband tea to the top."

"Oops, mother" Sun Qian was forced to blush in front of so many people, her face was flushed shyly, and she was about to get up to lift the teapot, when her sister Sun Qiao next to her had already stood up first.

"I'll come," he said, lifting the teapot and giving Chen half a cup.

Sun Qian was slightly stunned, everyone at the table had different expressions, Lao Sun may have drunk too much, still holding the cup, urging:

"Come on, virtuous son-in-law, have a drink"

"I respect Mount Tai, my Liu family has this situation, and I can't do without the help of Lord Taishan, and this love is remembered in my heart."

"Hahaha, good, good, this good son-in-law, my heart is very relieved, very relieved"

Li Dapeng on the side, his slightly tasteful expression flashed, he raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, and said with a smile:

"The love of the virtuous son-in-law envies others, agarwood he sits in the temple one day, the virtuous son-in-law will be passed on as a good story, the name has been passed down through the ages, I am equal to the person who sits, and there is honor"

"Hahaha, it's a lizard like, it's a false like"

As they spoke, the three of them drank a cup, and Chen Xiang accompanied him with tea, with a smile on his face.

It's just that

Between the eyebrows, there is a faint sadness.

What's the situation?

After the worship hall is finished, why hasn't this merit come yet?

Do you have to wait until the night after the two of you have a cave room?

Chen Laogou was thinking,

At this time, Liu Qing, who was sitting next to Han Yunsheng, looked at Liu Yanchang and reminded him of the old matter:

"Brother, although this child in March is a few years older than Agarwood, he is also a virtuous and virtuous person who knows cold and hot, and his temperament follows me, he does not fight or grab, and he has a dull appearance.

Now that she will be fifteen, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, I think, it's better to marry Agarwood in March to be a concubine, one to kiss and kiss, and the other is that I can visit from time to time.

I don't know my brother, what do you think? ”
