Chapter 111: Lighting the lamp and making a wish
"yes~ great!" Mingyue jumped up suddenly, pulled Ximenqing's sleeve and said with a happy face: "You can't be fooled." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Mingyin also smiled lightly, revealing her cute little dimples, and echoed: "Yes, let's pull the hook! Don't let you regret it!"
"Forehead ......"
After hooking up with the two little girls, Ximenqing looked at the children who were following the fire dragon on the street, listened to them singing songs, and gradually moved away, then turned his head to the two girls and asked, "What did those children sing just now? ”
Mingyue blinked her big eyes and looked at Ximen Qing and said: "They sing 'Sister Yue', and every Mid-Autumn Festival, children will hum this ballad." ”
"Oh, it looks like Mingyue will sing wow!"
"Of course then!" Mingyue smiled proudly, and hummed without Ximenqing's command: "
Sister Yue, many changes, the first two of the first year, black linen,
The third or fourth of the first month, the silver hook-like, the first eight or nine, like a dragon's teeth,
Eleven or twelve, half of the melon, fifteen silver plates hung high.
The Mid-Autumn Moon is clean and flawless, round as a mirror to my home.
Under the eaves of the wheat field, the little doll on the ground shines.
The doll held hands and played together, turning around and dizzy,
fell to the ground carelessly, and shouted in pain for his mother.
Sister Yunliyue said that he was stupid, which caused everyone to laugh haha. ”
The aftermath is lingering and eloquent, and Ximenqing is fascinated by it.
"Haha! Sister Yue sings 'Sister Yue'! Interesting, really interesting!" Ximenqing clapped his hands and praised, "I don't know who made up this ballad, it contains a deep scientific philosophy!" "Mingyue has the word 'Yue' in her name, and there is nothing wrong with calling her Sister Yue~
The moon itself does not emit light, but only shines by reflecting the sun's rays. The positions of the sun, earth, and moon are constantly changing, and the new moon, the new moon, and the full moon appear in cycles. Although the ancients did not understand science, they were also very unique in the study of the phases of the moon.
The first day of the lunar calendar is the new moon, and this day is called Shuo. The sun and the moon rise and set together, and the moon is not seen all night, so it is 'black and numb';
A day or two after the new day, the western sky in the evening showed a curved crescent moon, convex in the direction of the setting sun;
A few days later, it became the 'first quarter moon', half light and half dark (the western half bright), and at sunset it was due south of us;
On the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, this day is in sight, the full moon. At sunset, the sun is in the west and the full moon is in the east, and the earth is far away......
The moon phase changes for about 29 and a half days, also known as the synodic cycle, and the lunar calendar is set as one month according to the synodic cycle.
After listening to Ximenqing's words, Mingyue didn't care about what 'science and philosophy' were, but was angry about his first half of the sentence, and said angrily: "Childe~ You will make fun of Mingyue!!"
After that, he stretched out his hand to push Ximenqing. Who is Ximenqing, he is a genuine second-rate master in the martial arts. Mingyue is just a soft and weak little woman, how can she push Ximenqing? She pushed, Ximenqing did not move at all, but she staggered back two steps.
"Childe...... You're going to bully Mingyue......"
Seeing that Mingyue's mouth was flattened, her big eyes were filled with moisture, and she looked pitiful, Ximen Qing's head became bigger. He couldn't see girls crying, especially underage girls. If this is placed in future generations, everyone will mistakenly think that Ximen Qing is the 'strange Shu Xiao' who bullied the little girl~
"I was wrong, can't I beat myself up. Ximenqing completely regarded himself as a primary school student who made a mistake at this time, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was sincere, and the teacher was naturally Mingyue.
"Knock! knock......"
Ximen Qing clenched his fist with his right hand and slapped his chest several times in a row, and the sound he made was extremely penetrating, shaking Mingyue's heart in the chest.
"Okay, okay, I don't want you to beat yourself up. Mingyue hurriedly grabbed Ximenqing's right hand and persuaded him.
As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Mingyin next to her had been looking at her with a smile, Mingyue's face was red for no reason, and she quickly let go of her hand and turned her back to Ximenqing and the others.
Of course, Ximenqing couldn't really hit himself, he was actually just skillfully using force to make it sound loud. This is similar to 'thunder is loud, rain is small'.
Ximenqing covered his mouth with his hand, coughed dryly, then looked at the moon in the sky, and said, "Time is running out, we have to hurry up." ”
The three of them moved forward again, but this time everyone was silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
"Childe, I have a question for you. In order to ease the atmosphere, Mingyin found a topic, hoping to resolve the embarrassment between Mingyue and Ximenqing.
"What's the problem? ”
"After listening to the ballad sung by Mingyue just now, what is the 'philosophy' you are talking about?"
Mingyue's cheeks turned even redder when she heard Mingyin's 'old things come up', and even her small earlobes showed a pink color.
"Well...... this" Ximenqing thought for a long time, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Philosophy is actually a ballad. Why don't I hum it to you?"
Mingyin smiled sweetly at Ximen Qing, clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, okay!"
When Mingyue heard that Ximen Qing was about to sing, she also raised her head to look at him, a pair of big dark and bright eyes reflecting a little starlight.
"Ahem!" Ximen Qingqing cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and sang: "The philosophical mountain road has eighteen bends, the philosophical waterway has nine links, the philosophical mountain songs are lined up in rows, and the philosophical mountain songs are stringed in strings......"
“......”
......
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is as clear as water and the moon is as bright as a mirror.
When he came to the suburbs, Ximenqing only felt that the cool breeze and the autumn air were refreshing, so it was not pleasant. Looking up at the silver plate hanging thousands of miles in the sky, the moonlight sprinkled in the field, and the golden grass reflected a silver-white halo. The birds flew away to the south, the cicadas basically disappeared, the 'rustling' sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves in the ears, and the fragrance of osmanthus in the nose...... There is a special taste that haunts my heart.
"Are you cold?" Ximenqing asked out loud when he saw the two women with their arms folded around their chests.
Both replied at the same time: "It's not cold!"
Hearing the good sister's answer, they were both stunned. Then Mingyin said: "We're really not cold, after putting the Kong Ming lantern, let's hurry back and go back, it's time soon." ”
Ximen Qing bowed. He only has a coat on him, who does he take it off? Mingyue or Mingyin? This is a very complicated multiple-choice question...... It's better to finish the Kong Ming lantern quickly and go back to boil a bowl of ginger soup is a wise choice.
The sky lantern set off in the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the Kong Ming lantern, is said to have been invented by Zhuge Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms period. Back then, Zhuge Kongming was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help. So Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind, made a floating paper lantern, tied a message for help, and escaped from danger as a result, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kong Ming lantern. In addition, there is another theory that the shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Kongming, hence the name.
Mingyue and Mingyin respectively round the bamboo strips in the lamp and fix the pine resin on the chassis. In this way, the pine resin lamp burned, the heat rose, and the Kong Ming lantern flew in the air, getting higher and higher, flying farther and farther away, and finally it was only the size of a palm......
Ximen Qing saw Mingyue and Mingyin closing their eyes and making a wish, their expressions were quite serious and sincere, and there was a faint stinging pain in his heart, so he learned from them, held his hands in front of his chest, clasped his fingers tightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said silently in his heart:
"Dad, Mom, are you okay? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, my son can't go home to reunite with you, I wish you good health...... Don't read ......"
