Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Love Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival has many other names: the festival is on the [-]th of August, so it is called "August Festival" and "August and a half"; because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are carried out around the "month", it is also commonly known as "Moon Festival". "Yuexi"; the full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival". In the Tang Dynasty, Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "Dragon Moon".

The custom of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history and has always been dominated by large-scale sacrificial activities. It was not listed as a fixed festival for the whole country until the founding of the country in the early Tang Dynasty.

Appreciating the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival has existed since ancient times, but eating moon cakes is a new thing for people of this era.When the country was founded in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no such rhetoric as moon cakes, and its original shape was 'hu cakes'.Legend has it that merchants from the Western Regions offered cakes to the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty to congratulate them.Gaozu Li Yuan took the gorgeous cake box, took out the round cake, pointed to the bright moon in the sky with a smile and said: "You should invite the toad to the cake", and then distributed the cake to the officials to taste together.

Since then, "Hubing" has become a specific food for celebrating victory in the army, until the general Li Jing won the conquest of Xihu, and returned triumphantly on August [-]th, and the soldiers of the army returned to their hometown with a bright moon on their heads.After the reunion with the family and the elders, and the celebration of "Victory Cake", the word "Moon Cake" has been widely spread.The 'moon cake' which symbolizes victory and reunion has a long history.

There are not many sugars, and the price is high. It is difficult for ordinary people to eat sweet mooncakes, and most of them are salty mooncakes.These days, there has not been a culture of giving moon cakes to each other across the country. Self-sufficiency, making flavors according to one's own ability, and the trend of comparison have not yet formed.

Because of the solar terms, the dew water workshop closed work early, and the two daughters came back for the reunion at noon. Ying, who had never left the house, happily gathered all the servants in the family, and gave them a small red envelope of [-] Wen plus six eggs as a reward. Go down, Jujia boils.

Due to the gradual improvement of the family situation, the red envelopes are rewarded generously during the festivals.How much to reward, how to reward, I never intervene, Ying is much better than me in this point, and she is just right.When to be tight and when to be loose, the scale must be mastered just right. Shrewdness and stinginess are two concepts.Ying fully embodies the meaning of the former.At this time, I would be well-groomed, sitting on the big chair in the main hall for two to five or eighty thousand yuan, without saying a word, and letting Pingying and the butler and the accountant hold the dividend distribution ceremony.Whenever this happens, I think of the Empress Dowager Cixi. If you say that I am a dedicated person, I feel at ease when I am a puppet, and I never engage in the '[-] Reform Movement'.Listen to politics behind the curtain.Since the mother-in-law is better at managing the family business than I am, there is no reason to compete everywhere. A man's spirit is only shown at critical moments. When he appeared on the stage, he ate and drank honestly.Others can't see it and say some gossip, just treat him as farting.

The second daughter is a good girl. Although she was born noble, she is living well now, but she never rejects housework.Sooner or later at home, there is a small job in hand.Embroidery, small accessories, she does it with gusto.Usually, I sit with Ying and I on the kang, listening to our conversation and doing some small handicrafts.Because he doesn't speak, he has practiced a set of eyes. The big eyes are bright and flexible, and they can be used in a variety of ways.All kinds of meanings emerge from the eye contact.Every time like this, I can't help holding her in my arms and kissing her twice, her small appearance is so distressing.

The second daughter took a few wooden molds for making mooncakes and sat in front of me to scrub them carefully. The molds are finely carved, with many lines, and it is troublesome to clean. This job is suitable for the second daughter. She likes to show it in front of me. The delicate side of oneself.The handyman in charge of this job can be lazy.

"I greeted Cheng's family today. I can deliver Maoyan next month, so don't worry about it." In the morning, Cheng Chu rushed over with rich gifts to pay homage to Father Wang Xiu.In name, he is a master, but after the fifteenth day, he has to be careful.By the way, I asked for a jar of changed eggs and five jars of crickets, mainly crickets, and they must be the kind that are good at fighting.He sounded more urgent, as if his Cheng family was going to collapse, anyway, the old man had already issued a death order, and if he lost the battle, he would set fire to the family property, very bad old man.Before Cheng Chu left, I was relieved by the news that Qin Yu had already arrived in martial arts. Since he was going to take over the military defense of the gate in the pass, he stayed there to familiarize himself with the military terrain. Anyway, this handover is for Mr. Cheng to go out of the fort next year. Just hurry back and the court will not blame you.Seeing the second daughter's big eyes showing joy, "Ma'am is not here, why are you blinking and talking." Mian Mian made me as busy as chasing a wolf these days, and I haven't listened to the second daughter for several days.In fact, the voice of the second girl is very soft, and it is comfortable to listen to each word in a slow and orderly manner.

"It's warm under the quilt, thank you husband." The second daughter got up and wiped off the water stains on her hands, and poured me a cup of hot tea. "Don't worry about the cat's eyes. The second daughter is greedy. Don't take it seriously."

"It's a good thing. Of course, I have to take it seriously." The second daughter usually likes to scribble and imitate adults' dress, but jewelry and other things are used for what she doesn't want, and she never makes excessive demands.It's really not easy to ask for jewelry this time. If Ying didn't mention it, I wouldn't even know.Looking at the small appearance of the second daughter, I felt a little guilty. I was used to being careless. I always treated her like a little girl. I never thought about adding accessories to her. It seems that she is really a big girl. There are also two girls.Touching her small face lovingly, "You're a big girl now, it's a good thing to love to dress up, tell me directly what you see in the future that pleases your eyes."

"My husband is bothering me, it's my concubine's fault." The second daughter turned around and leaned on my back, explaining softly: "It's all the fault of the fourth one, she showed off with a big cat's eye, saying it was given to her by the madam. The second daughter was not convinced, so she asked the wife for the land."

No wonder, I said that the second daughter doesn't usually have this habit, so it turns out that the fourth child is jealous, and it has nothing to do with me.When she was serving as Ying's maid, she definitely didn't have this idea. Because of my arrival, Ying changed her mood this year. She pampered and got used to the second daughter as if she was her own, and the second daughter gradually became dependent on Ying. A lot closer emotionally.The fourth child took what her sister gave her and showed it off in front of her. The second daughter was naturally not happy, and she had to ask for one from Ying to take revenge. However, Ying ran out of cat eyes when she was making jewelry, so she went to the black shop of Cui's to buy it. thought.If I hadn't discovered it in time, I would have been slaughtered by the Cui family by now.

"Then I don't care about it, you go to find your wife." I smiled and moved the second daughter over from behind.Put your lap on your back and sit down, "You don't need to compare with the fourth child in the future, even if she has eighty cat eyes, it won't work, you just stand beside her plainly, and you will avenge everything."

"Hehe..." The second daughter was happy to hear that, she climbed on my shoulder and laughed, "Actually, the fourth child is also considered a smart person, she used that appearance to pretend to be stupid. If the second daughter was not careful everywhere, she would have counted many times Yes, you are born with a good talent for business."

I patted the back of the second daughter, and said with a smile: "Then learn from her, and I will count on you to move back the family's golden mountains and silver mountains." Although the two families are relatives, cooperation is closer than outsiders, However, small disputes of interest will inevitably arise.The old father-in-law also let his own girl toss about, and all the rights on my side are delegated to the second daughter.The two girls are not fuel-efficient lamps, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, it's strange if they don't intrigue.It's interesting to meet opponents in chess. There was no other way to let the second daughter choose this beam, so I chose the right person. "I'm optimistic about the distillation workshop. In the future, the production of toilet water will increase, and it will be busier than now."

"Well," the second daughter nodded, "It's good to be busy. Hee hee." The big eyes rolled around a few times, trying to pay attention, "The concubine of the wine steaming workshop personally held it in her hand, and took the small steamed wine from the toilet water workshop. The wine stove was dismantled. From then on, the two settled accounts separately. The wine used here had to be purchased from the wine steaming workshop. While ensuring the shipment of toilet water, the price of the steamed wine should be raised to the highest, so as to minimize the profit of the Chen family. Yes. Our family takes money from both sides, and there is no loss at all. The Chen family is dispensable, and the medicinal materials cannot overwhelm the family’s momentum, and we are not buying from his family." If you only take medicinal materials from the Chen family, over time, they will calculate the ratio of the total number of medicinal materials supplied to the workshop.It is almost inseparable from the ratio of the secret recipe.With a little bit of thought, it might be better than the original.So after the establishment of the workshop.A total of six suppliers were recruited, and the Chen family took the lead.The fourth child has always been brooding over this matter, and often complains to Ying. Ying is true to her love for the girl, but she stands firm on this matter and does not give the fourth child any chance.Now if the second daughter wants to hold the steamed wine in her hands, the profits of the Chen family will be further swallowed by the Wang family, and the fourth child will still have to fight with Ying for a while, hehe.

"You have the ability! Just do as you say. You don't need to discuss with me." What's the point of discussing, the second girl's brain is better than mine, is there any reason to consult with an idiot?A thousand years of knowledge sounds like enough to bluff people, but it's only a matter of time, just deceiving oneself and others.Not as smart as Ying, not as smart as the second daughter, not as perceptive as Lan Ling, not as good-looking as Cui Zhang, not as good as Cheng Chu in martial arts, not as good as Qin Yu in being ideal, and nothing else.I have the same advantage, I have self-knowledge, know how capable I am, and never allow wishes that exceed my own capabilities.It's okay to play a guest role as a consultant, but if you want to lead the lead role, that's a dead end. "Say hello to Madam in advance, and if the fourth son throws up trouble later on, you two can have an excuse."

My second daughter's ability is not covered. The mooncakes just made out are delicious to look at, and they are also delicious to eat.Not to mention the oven and the like, even the condition of lack of coal, it is superb to make it like this, anyway, I am hungry, so I don’t want to eat anything.

The reason for the backward preservation methods is that the activity of making mooncakes will be held on August [-]th. The whole family sits around the yard, with various seasonal fresh fruits on the table, and a plate of murderous mooncakes in the middle (I think it is a trap The biscuits) looked at Mingyue face to face like a demonstration, wine and shochu, very atmospheric.

It was sunny, and the moon was surprisingly bright, just like my own at the top of the head. With the moonlight, I didn't even need to light a lantern.Wangcai is so lucky, I washed it clean at noon, and happily acted like a baby under my feet, so I got half a piece of sesame seed stuffed with salt, ah 'moon cake'.

"Next year, I will personally make mooncakes for you two to see my husband's craftsmanship." This is the season when fruits are at their peak, and it's easy to get some sugar and fruit fillings. When there are many varieties, people will ignore the taste, which is foolish. trick.I got up and poured wine for the two ladies. I was not used to it, but shochu was more to my liking.Holding the wine glass, "Come on, the family will stop talking so much nonsense, have a drink, and sleep well at night."

"That's what my husband said. It wouldn't be interesting if it was a long story." Ying drank the wine with a smile. Seeing the two girls drank, she squeezed the little girl's nose and poured it in. She said with a smile, "It's like dense water." Things, as for the appearance of drinking medicine." Standing up and filling the wine glass, "Since this time last year, it has changed in a year. Let alone other people, even I myself sometimes can't believe it If you get up early and wake up, you are afraid that the dream has passed. First, see if your husband is by your side," he said, touching the little face of the second daughter, "and then there is this girl. Only when you see it can you feel relieved." Maybe remembering the bitter things in the past, he wiped the corners of his eyes. "The concubine is a blessed person, and following her husband is the result of several lifetimes of cultivation..."

"Hey, it's endless." Reaching out his hand to comfort Ying's thin shoulder, "Hurry up and drink, I didn't see the moon grow so big, wait for our reward. Don't mention the unhappy things." Breaking off a grape plug In the mouth of the second daughter, the girl drank a cup and was still panting. "With the wife and the second daughter who can do it, there is no reason why our family won't be defeated. If you two are good, you can do whatever you want. Whoever talks about the old things in a nonsensical way, be careful to beat others for your husband."

"No, no more." Ying moved the chair.Sit next to me, and leaned over, "Don't worry, my husband, there is no outsider here. It's easy to talk about. Don't go home. It's not surprising that the main room ruins the outer room. But this will never happen in our house. The second daughter I have been with my concubine for a long time, and I used to vent my anger and beat me; at that time, my concubine was still young and inexperienced," he said, pulling the second daughter over and hugging her, "Girl, don't be jealous. Don't take it to heart. There will be no such thing in the future, and it is too late to feel distressed, let alone do it."

"Beat, if you are disobedient, you will still be beaten." I pinched the little face of the second daughter, "The girl looks like a grown-up girl, but she is not yet at this age, and she will have to be disciplined in the future. I am used to it. Don't overdo it." The female wine glass drank for her.This girl blushed badly because she didn't drink alcohol.Passed a piece of moon cake to her, "Eat it quickly, it's like a monkey's butt."

"The moon is good today, and it is prepared for our family." Ying greedily pointed to the moon at the public house, "It is said that the gods live high, and the moon may be full. There is no way to say that the land may be expensive."

Three sentences are inseparable from the line.Ying is now figuring land all day long. Even the fairy real estate wants to have an investment, which is too much. Is the land business on the moon so easy to develop?Thousands of years later, no one dares to invest in it. "You are hysterical, and no one will let go of the land. Beware of other gods messing with your business."

"Hehe..." Yingtou put his head on my shoulder and smiled lightly, "You said that this person is just greedy and dissatisfied. Back then, life was not going well, and I only thought that my husband would change his mind. Now that there is a little good time, I will not be happy." After thinking about it myself, I have more and more thoughts, and this hand is getting longer and longer. Sometimes I feel bad when I think about it, but I just can’t stop this thought, can I?”

"This is a good thing," I nodded affirmatively. Desire and ability are directly proportional. Without desire, life is boring and normal. "Everyone is the same, this is common sense."

"Does my husband have these thoughts?" My head rubbed back and forth on my face, "The better the situation, the more thoughts people have. What about you, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm much more noble than you," I poured myself a glass, and drank it in one gulp. The wine was good, and the wine started to burn after drinking it. It was refreshing. "Look, the papermaking workshop, the dew workshop, and the cotton field in the future, are not all my ideas? Whether it's making money for yourself, or serving the country and the people, living in this world requires a plan. Light and comfortable. We can't take care of other families, but our own family, our Zhuangzi farmer, can live a better life in the future."

"Well," Ying nodded, "this is the real way to live. I also thought that since my husband is so capable, he may not be worse than those officials when he enters the court. But after thinking about it, let's not talk about the inside and outside. Fighting in secret, you can’t keep busy with your work alone, so what’s the point of living? If it goes well, it’s the best if you come back from a busy life to gain a good reputation and have a good death; Hope, what’s more, I still don’t know what will happen to me.” He closed his eyes comfortably and muttered to himself, “It’s better for our family, if you don’t get involved in such disgusting things, your husband will still gain fame, and the concubine’s second wife will still be famous. The woman is also living a solid life by her side. Perhaps, a good friend comes to talk about learning every day, you say, is this learning so diligent? Why don’t you think that your husband is a person who can be learned.”

"Tomorrow, I will ask the scholar to return all the jewelry that I gave you, and you will know the benefits of learning." I smiled and pulled Ying's little hand and clapped, "Come on, the second girl sits on my lap, look here Moon Shun."

Hugging the second daughter and Ying, they talked without saying a word, and drank a pot without knowing it. Ying also grabbed the wine and let go of the amount of alcohol. The more he drank, the more he talked, the more he drank, the brighter the moon, and he didn't want to sleep at all. mean.I generally don't have much to say with my wife, especially after living for a long time, and what I talk about is all the short topics of the parents, which is not very interesting.Maybe it's the effect of the moon, the two of them talked speculatively, and they could talk about anything together, especially after drinking a little wine, and there was no taboo, and there was a feeling that a thousand glasses of wine were too small to meet a bosom friend.Qian Cup didn't arrive, anyway, I couldn't remember how I slept on the kang.
