Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 217

This day is the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival, and finally arrived.

This festival was first called "Dragon Boat Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, because of avoiding the taboo of Tang Taizong's birthday (the fifth day of August), the fifth day was changed to Wu, and it was called the Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanyang Festival.

The origin of the festival was originally a festival created by the ancestors of Wu and Yue in the south to worship the dragon ancestors, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.Because it is said that Qu Yuan, a poet of the Chu State during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May [-]th, people later regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; there are also sayings to commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui.

Because during the Dragon Boat Festival in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the people of various families mostly bathed in boiled water with chrysanthemum orchids, so people in the Tang and Song Dynasties also called the Dragon Boat Festival the Yulan Festival.

In the city of Runzhou, dogwood and smoked grass are planted in the streets and alleys to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. Because of this solar term, it officially enters the summer season, and the rise of mosquitoes makes it easy to get sick and plague, so the custom of curing diseases and preventing epidemics is also popular.

When Su Chen returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he spent the Dragon Boat Festival with his new family for the first time. There was a girl named Ling'er, and a girl who was bedridden. Although there was no confirmed relationship with her, Su Chen also had a crush on Peng Qingqing.

At any time, a noble daughter who is willing to sacrifice her life to protect you and die for you is something worth tempting.

Men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men through layers of gauze. Unknowingly, men are easily moved by women.

"What do you want to eat today?" Su Chen asked Peng Qingqing.

"Hot pot, mala tang, teppanyaki, give me a whole portion. I've been a vegetarian for several days, and I'm so hungry." Peng Qingqing was not polite to him, and directly ordered what she wanted to eat.

In the past few days, Peng Qingqing has been recovering from her injuries. Apart from drinking soup and medicine, she also drinks porridge and pickles. The main thing is light. Five or six days have passed. She has the body and bones of martial arts, and her recovery is not bad. She should be able to eat meat.

"That's fine, today is the holiday, I'll make an exception for you, I'll give you whatever you want to eat."

Peng Qingqing curled her lips, wondering what she wanted to eat before, would you dare not do it?If you don't do it, I will clean you up!

However, now she also has some feelings for Su Chen. The requirements of this era for women, the thinking of wives and husbands is very deep, no matter how careless Peng Qingqing is, when she thinks that she may have an emotional relationship with Su Chen in the future, and even get married together In life, she can't help but restrain herself a little, and can't be as arrogant as before.

"Thank you, Brother Su Chen!" Peng Qingqing also thanked him softly.

"What did you say?" Su Chen got goosebumps when he heard it, and was quite unaccustomed to seeing the charming voice.

"They said, thank you Brother Su Chen!" Peng Qingqing still pretended to be a lady and said softly.

"Qingqing, you should talk properly!" Su Chen covered his forehead.

Peng Qingqing restrained her smile, and immediately became indifferent, humming: "Do it for me!"

"Well, this is just like you!" After confirming that she was not insane, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Peng Qingqing watched him leave, pursed her lips, snorted softly, and muttered: "Smelly Su Chen, I don't know what's good or bad, this girl is so gentle, you're not used to it yet, so I should be more arrogant to you!"

The maid and mother-in-law next to her looked at each other when they saw this scene, and felt that their young lady was really abnormal.

At noon, talented girl Xu came to visit. She knew that there were few people in the Su residence, so she came to accompany her and wanted to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together.

Su Chen made several specialty dishes, such as assorted casserole, pot-packed meat, spicy hot pot, grilled lamb chops, stir-fried vegetables, etc., which were different from the chefs of Nantang Restaurant, Xu Talented Girl also ate them with gusto.

During the dinner, Xu Qingwan wanted to ask him some insights into poetry or the principles of studying things, but was interrupted by Su Chen.

"This table of dishes can't stop your mouth, why are there so many questions!" Su Chen managed to cook a special dish for an hour, and served it to the table sumptuously. She even asked questions while eating, which made him After exercising his body, he still needs to use his brain. Su Chen is not used to this problem.

Xu Cainv was stunned for a moment, and after being slapped by Su Chen, she felt a little strange, but she was not angry. Instead, she felt that getting along like this, eating with other scholars, was different.

On weekdays, other talents sat with her, all polite and courteous, trying their best to show off their literary talents and brag about their talents, for fear of being underestimated by Xu Cai, they didn't eat anything at all. Talented women look at each other differently.As for this Su Chen, it's just the opposite, he never brags about his talent, he even disdains pretending to be a talent in front of her, and even reprimands her.

But Xu Qingwan felt that this was very special. She felt Su Chen's approachability, her true temperament was revealed, she pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't feel embarrassed anymore.

Peng Qingqing muttered beside him: "Su Chen, it would be great if this spicy hot pot was a little more spicy!"

Su Chen rolled his eyes at her and said: "You are injured now, so you can't eat too much spicy food. Moreover, the effect of this kind of spicy mustard and chive flowers in vegetables is not so good. It would be great if there were chili peppers."

Xu Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she interjected and asked, "What is a chili pepper?"

Su Chen explained: "It's just a kind of vegetable. It turns red when it matures. It's slender and pointed, but it's very spicy. It tastes good when cooked. It's not available in Tang country at present. It's an imported product and needs to be imported from overseas."

Xu Qingwan became interested and couldn't help asking: "Oh, where did you come in from? Have you seen this thing?"

Why are you a hundred thousand!

Su Chen really has a headache, this talented Xu likes to get to the bottom of everything, she really deserves to be a scholar.

"Of course I've seen it, otherwise how could I describe it, and know its taste! However, this thing is hard to get, let's wait until my Tang country's navigation technology is stronger." Su Chen recalled the historical records, the pepper was born in It was introduced to China from the Americas at the end of Ming Dynasty, and it was only used as ornamental crops and medicines at first, and it didn’t take long to enter Chinese recipes, with a history of more than 200 years.

Peng Qingqing gave full play to her gluttonous nature and grasped the point of the topic: "With chili, wouldn't it be better for us to eat hot pot?"

Su Chen glanced at Peng Qingqing, it's really rare for him to be clever, but it's a pity that it was used for eating.

At this moment, he was convinced by the character of the second girl in front of him.

After lunch, the magistrate Peng Zeliang came to visit his daughter. Peng Qingqing naturally lay on the bed, pretending to be listless and seriously ill.

After Peng Zhifu saw it, he felt pity for a while, and once again told Su Chen to take good care of Qingqing, and he must treat her to get better and recover as soon as possible, otherwise, he should show him some color. The powerless and powerless Su Chen naturally nodded repeatedly, completely taught. look.

Peng Zeliang had to go to the river to preside over the dragon boat race and sacrifice to the river god in the afternoon, so he stayed for a while and then left.

After seeing off Zhifu Peng, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Peng Qingqing looking at him with a smile, pursing his lips, with a smug expression, which is really cute!

If he establishes a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her like this, he wonders if he will be beaten by prefect Peng's servants.

Suddenly, Su Chen remembered the three-year agreement with Bai Susu again, couldn't help but grimace, and burst out laughing.
