Lin Fengsheng said: "Auntie, are you here too?" Lin Yu smiled: "I haven't touched books for many years, but I'm afraid I'm already unfamiliar." Lin Fengsheng was overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Then please ask my aunt to chant first." Mei Ruoxue also applauded.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, and said casually: "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night. The candles are extinguished, and the light is full, and the clothes are dewed. It's unbearable to give away, and it's a good time to sleep. Her voice was gentle and soft, full of affection, and the tone was also very decent, Lin Fengsheng thought about the emotional mood in the poem, and couldn't help but listen to it. Lin Yuyin's face was radiant, and her apricot eyes were wavering, as if she had returned to her girlhood.

Mei Ruoxue clapped her hands and shouted: "I know this poem, this is the Tang poem "Looking at the Moon and Far Away". Lin Fengsheng came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes, this poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling, in order to express his nostalgia for his lover." Among them, the sentence "the moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" is a good sentence that has been recited by the past dynasties, and I have always respected it very much. ”

Mei Ruoxue said with a smile: "Mother is really good at choosing, you miss your father, just like Zhang Jiuling misses his lover." Respond to the situation and sing well. Lin Yu's face was full of flying clouds, bowed his head and was silent, fortunately, it was already night, and it was difficult for others to notice.

Mei Ruoxue said again: "Now it's time for me to groan." After thinking about it for a while, he recited it aloud, "The shadow of the mica screen is deep, and the long river is gradually falling, and the stars are sinking ......" halfway through, he suddenly forgot the last two sentences, and couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at Lin Fengsheng, Lin Fengsheng raised his head and looked at the moon. Mei Ruoxue pouted and stared, stamping her feet in anger, and she couldn't catch it in her mouth.

Lin Yu said: "What, is there only two sentences in this poem? Or do you not remember?" At this time, Cai'er brought a plate of melon seeds and fruits, Mei Ruoxue was overjoyed, and said: "Cai'er, do you know what the last two sentences of Li Shangyin's poem "Chang'e" are?"

Seeing this, Cai'er knew the reason, covered her mouth and smiled: "Is Miss going to test me?" That's 'Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and night heart'. Mei Ruoxue said happily: "Yes, yes, even Cai'er knows the way, how can I not know." ”

Lin Yu and Lin Fengsheng could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. Lin Fengsheng commented on this poem, and chanted a song of Meng Haoran's "Autumn Night and Moonlight", which is already in the middle of the moon. Lin Yu said: "It's almost time, it's time to worship the moon, and the festival verses will be another day." "Let Cai'er call Uncle Chen, Ah He, Jin Hua and Xiao Yue, and tell them to take care of the moon worship.

The wind of moon worship in the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, the so-called "autumn twilight and sunset", "sunset moon" is to worship the moon god. Legend has it that the ugly girl of the ancient Qi country had no salt, and when she was a child, she worshipped the moon devoutly, and when she grew up, she was summoned to the palace because of her outstanding morality, but she has not been pampered. Until the moon was admired on August 15 of a certain year, the Son of Heaven saw her in the moonlight, thought she was beautiful and outstanding, and later made her the queen. This is where the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship comes from. In addition, Chang'e in the moon is known for her beauty, so the girl worships the moon and prays for "looking like Chang'e, and her face is like the bright moon".

After a while, Chen Bo and Ah Gen brought out a large incense case four feet square, placed it in the middle of the court, put the incense burner, and lit four pairs of red candles. Cai'er, Xiaoyue and Jinhua began to bring up the offerings for the moon worship one after another, and the cakes, melons and fruits, pine nuts, dates and pears were placed in an orderly manner. The skin of the watermelon is peeled into the shape of lotus petals, which is very beautiful. Lin Yu lit three sticks of incense on the candle flame, bowed to the moon a few times, and then inserted them in the incense burner.

Cai'er poured three glasses of new wine and offered them one by one, Lin Yu took another pair of moon salutes with both hands, spilled the three glasses of wine in front of the incense table, and said to Lin Fengsheng: "Fengsheng, according to the rules, you must recite the blessing for the moon, you are the most talented and learned, so you will make a one." ”

Lin Fengsheng felt quite embarrassed, and excused himself: "Auntie, I have never written a congratulatory text, where can I write it for a while? ”

Lin Yu said: "In previous years, the moon worship was done by your uncle and deacon, and I don't need to intervene, so I don't know where this blessing comes from." Moreover, this blessing must be burned after the moon worship, and it is impossible to find a ready-made one. ”

Cai'er said: "Young Master Fengsheng, this recitation of the blessing is just a formality, you can write some words of praise for the moon at will." Mei Ruoxue also smiled: "Cousin, you can write, seeing that you usually export chapters, it is not a piece of cake to write a few words praising the moon." Lin Fengsheng couldn't, so he had to agree.

The women laid paper and polished ink, and they were very busy. Lin Fengsheng thought hard for a long time, and in a hurry, he couldn't get the essentials, so he had no choice but to sharpen the articles of his predecessors and write a piece of Xie Zhuang's "Moon Fu", which was read by moonlight and candlelight, and put it in a copper basin and burned it with the moonlight paper he bought yesterday. Lin Yu instructed everyone to bow down to the moon together, and each silently made their own wishes, which were different from person to person, and each had their own expectations.

After everyone has made a wish, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship will be considered a successful end. Lin Yu distributed the offerings to everyone to eat, and sat in the courtyard together to drink and admire the moon. Cai'er and the other girls suddenly mentioned that they had made an appointment to go to the city a few days ago to enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles, and Lin Fengsheng was worried about the appointment with the old beggar in the back mountain, so he had to try his best to shirk it.

The three girls and the servant Agen toasted a few glasses of wine to Lin Yu and the other three of the master's family, and said that they wanted to go into the city to watch the lantern festival. The old servant Uncle Chen also got up to say goodbye after toasting, thinking that he went back to his room to sleep by himself, and only Lin Fengsheng, Lin Yu and Mei Ruoxue were left in the courtyard.

Lin Fengsheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Auntie, nephew also came to toast you with a glass of wine, wishing you eternal youth and a long life." Lin Yu smiled, very happy in his heart, and said, "Good boy, good boy." He also raised his glass and said, "Auntie also wishes you an early success in the Toad Palace." The two of them touched their glasses lightly, and they both drank it down.

Mei Ruoxue also poured a cup and said to Lin Yu: "Mother, my daughter also toasts you." I wish you peace and joy and a long life. Lin Yu was deeply pleased, smiled and drank with her. Mei Ruoxue saluted her mother, poured another cup to honor Lin Fengsheng, and said with a smile: "Cousin, little sister wishes you a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine and a bright future." Lin Fengsheng drank until the glass was dry, and said with a smile: "Thank you cousin for your good words, but it's too early to say this." Come, and may you be virtuous and virtuous, and look like a fairy. ”

Lin Fengsheng took out the jade bracelet he bought in Xiangyun Town from his arms, held it in front of Lin Yu with both hands, and said, "Auntie, this is a gift from me, I hope you can like it." Lin Yu couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and he held Lin Fengsheng's hand and said, "I like it, of course my aunt likes it." Feng is growing up and sensible, and my aunt is really happy. With a look of relief and satisfaction, he held the jade bracelet in the palm of his hand and played with it over and over again, and he couldn't put it down.

The three of them talked happily and happily, chatting about some trivial things, and before they knew it, it was almost time. I don't know how many glasses of wine they drank, although the glass was light and light, the three of them didn't feel a little drunk.

Lin Yu's index finger curled slightly, gently tapped his forehead, and suddenly asked, "Fengsheng, how are you learning kung fu?"

Mei Ruoxue heard her mother ask about her cousin's martial arts, and she was very proud, and said: "Mother, I have already taught my cousin to tread the snow to find Meibu, he is very talented, and he learned it in just one day." ”

Lin Yu nodded and said happily: "Yes, this set of light body kung fu has a total of one hundred and twenty-five steps, Feng Sheng learned so quickly, your father really didn't lose his eyes at all." ”

It turned out that Mei Yunting had long seen that Lin Fengsheng had excellent roots and bones, and was a rare martial arts wizard, out of love for talent, coupled with his daughter's mediocre qualifications, it was destined to be difficult to inherit all his artistic career, so he wanted to teach his lifelong martial arts. Even if Mei Yunting wore out the skin of his mouth, he was unmoved, and finally he couldn't fulfill his wish when he died.

Lin Fengsheng had already learned the reason from Mei Ruoxue's mouth, and he felt quite sorry in his heart, so he only said: "This set of footwork is secretly in line with the principle of the Five Elements Shengke, so my nephew will learn so smoothly, it must be my uncle's spirit in the sky guiding my nephew in the dark." ”

Mei Ruoxue smiled: "Then you go quickly and show your mother, so that she won't say that I'm not good at teaching as a master." ”

Lin Fengsheng thought silently about the footwork in his heart from beginning to end, and then walked into the court to ask Lin Yu to correct.

Lin Yu watched intently from the side, and couldn't help nodding in approval. Mei Ruoxue saw her cousin meticulously practicing footwork in front of her mother, her face was solemn, as if she was facing a great enemy, she couldn't help but be secretly amused, so she started to play tricks again, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I'm here to test your ability to adapt to the enemy, you have to be careful." Seeing where Lin Fengsheng landed next, he threw the leftover watermelon peel in his hand.

Although Lin Fengsheng could hear her reminder, but the footwork of stepping on the snow and looking for plums was endless, and where could he hold his foot, and he had no experience at all, so he naturally didn't know how to dodge. I felt that my feet slipped, I screamed, and I fell down on my back.
