Tang Qi Tan

A few days later, the annual Zhongyuan Festival came.Thousands of households in Chang'an City hung up lanterns, prepared offerings for worshiping the moon, and the whole family gathered together to enjoy the prepared cakes and pancakes together.Looking forward to one of the few play nights of the year with an open curfew.

In the Great Inner Palace, a relatively grand "moon sacrifice ceremony" is routinely held.Because it is recorded in "Book of Rites: Jiyi": "The sun rises from the east, the moon rises from the west, the length of yin and yang, and the patrolling from beginning to end, until the harmony of the world.".Worshiping the sun and worshiping the moon represents the beautiful vision of Yin and Yang harmony and mutual aid.

Therefore, the royal family of all dynasties will hold a moon sacrifice ceremony at the Taiyin altar in the palace, and the queen will lead the concubines to recite the moon sacrifice ceremony.After the end, a grand banquet was held in the palace to entertain and reward all civil and military officials; and presented cakes, flower cakes, sachets and towels made of imitated moon wheels.

Now it is the tenth year of the second sage's reign in the central palace, which was powerful and powerful, and it is also the tenth year that Shangguan's family has been ransacked, leaving only orphans and widows to fill the court.It is also the time when the imperial court changed the title of Yuan and Shangzun, so it is also very meaningful to manage it;

Although it was not possible to open the curfew like the Chang'an City Square outside, so that the common people went to the streets to have fun, watch the lanterns and catch riddles; The lanterns organized by the festival; and illuminate the night in the imperial city as bright as a moment.

As for palace servants, female officials, concubines, and criminal relatives, Ye Ting Palace also received some Yu Ze to some extent.After several days of busy preparations, they can also take a break to carry out some activities related to the Mid-Autumn Festival within the circled area.

At this time, the criminals and women in the South Lane of Tingye Palace will also come out of their homes to admire the moon in groups; and give each other some small gifts made by themselves in private; such as embroidered handkerchiefs, handkerchiefs, and round fans. And a small bag containing flower petals and beans, wishing relatives a long way to pray for blessings.

But fortunately or unfortunately, a few people including Mrs. Zheng, because of their relatively dignified appearance and beautiful temperament, were summoned by Shangshi Bureau to Linde Hall, where the Zhongyuan banquet was held, to help serve on the spot.It was also due to the sudden influx of a large number of foreign wives in the palace, so there was not enough manpower.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Mrs. Zheng; as long as she can make no mistakes, she will naturally be assigned by Shangshi Bureau, and her status in Yeting Palace will be improved in disguise.But unfortunately during this festive season, she had to leave her daughter to spend the festival alone.

Or in other words, that's how he came to be in the palace for so many years.Whenever Madam Zheng was summoned to serve abroad, Wan'er could only study at home alone.But fortunately, there is a miraculous raccoon slave accompanying her; it also prevents Madam Zheng from feeling completely at ease.

Therefore, after temporarily breaking away from her mother's supervision and care; Wan'er also had a rare indulgence in secret.One person and one cat came to the highest point on the roof, and after laying down an old cloth barrier, they could lie on it and enjoy the cleanliness, and then watch the clear night sky as if the clouds and the moon were shining.

The huge moon is as bright as water, illuminating the streets and alleys in the Yeting Palace where the lights are lit and the voices are heard; but there is a vitality and vitality that is hard to see in the past.It also dissipated a lot of the gloom and depression that had been scattered in many streets and alleys under the long-term prosperity of yin and yang.

Jiang Tian even saw that on the street, there are many people wearing men's clothes and swimming with their female companions; drunk; then leaned on the side of the street and wailed loudly.

But more people were holding homemade lanterns, or holding a crude candle or oil lamp; they silently joined the streets of Nanxiang, chanting in low voices the procession passing by.And standing at the head of the team was a woman in a white shirt, holding a painted flag.

On the long strip of banners, there is a portrait of Moonlight Bodhisattva with a colorful crown, an open chest and arms, and a solemn smile;

One of the left and right assistants of the pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata.

It is said that the day of its transformation into Taoism is the Hungry Ghost Festival on August [-]th in Dongtu.Therefore, Jiang Tian can also hear the vague praise and singing voice sent by the wind: "The clouds are scattered and empty. The dew is beautiful. The pure and flawless body is self-round. It doesn't move around the sky. It shines through the boundless. Enzebu is great."

However, for the girl who is rarely in the high range, her main attention at this moment is on the food placed around her.On a large placemat, there are paper-wrapped tiger skin meat, shrimp cakes, red crabs, and roasted rouge; there is also a small bottle of light wine Yuluchun;

And all of this is just one of the results of Jiang Tian's continuous patrol and exploration outside Tingye Palace these nights.After all, the scope of the Taiji Palace in the imperial city is too large; the Yeting Palace on the west side only occupies a small part of it, and Jiang Tian can only explore a small part of it.

But just this small part of the surrounding area is enough to open Jiang Tian's eyes and gain a lot.Storehouses that store all kinds of daily necessities such as rice noodles, silk cloth, tea wine, ointment, sauce and vinegar, and other materials piled up like mountains, or various workshops and workshops that serve the nobles in the palace;
It's just that due to the current cat form, Jiang Tian can't take more things in secret, so he can only let the girl add meals occasionally.Otherwise, a big burden floating in the void at night is really too scary, and it will easily cause more troubles and unnecessary disturbances.

"You are too thin and too light, and you are still a little anemic. You need to eat more nutritious foods to make up for it slowly." Jiang Tian said with a slight disgust on the cat's face: "Otherwise, even the spirit of studying at night It’s not good; let alone the development and growth of the body; so I have to add food.”

"Don't worry, I got these from the dining room of Shangshi Bureau. I took a little of each kind from the prepared tableware. As long as you don't weigh it carefully, you won't be able to detect the lack of weight. In fact, even if you find it Now, do you still dare to pursue it inside and outside with great fanfare? It will really kill people."

"Rust spot, ah no... Mr. raccoon, why did you die?" Wan'er, whose mouth was full of food and whose cheeks were bulging like a hamster, couldn't help but raised her eyebrows like a crooked moon and asked, "It's just a little defect. There's no way to make it up after the fact, or to forgive a thing or two for it."

"Do you think these people in the inner dining room may not have clean hands and feet in normal times?" Jiang Tian asked back: "In other words, the subordinates of the 24th Workshop of the Fifth Bureau of the Palace, even if they are inside and outside the Yeting Palace, as long as they have something to say How can there be many people who are honest and selfless, without profit?"

"The Shangshanfang and the inner dining room are exclusively for the concubine's banquet; in fact, there is extra storage and use of the usual ingredients; this is worthless compared to disappearing. Once the many wastes are traced, it is more necessary Someone is responsible for it, and this is a human game of trade-offs."

"Have you ever read Shuoshu?" Jiang Tian asked again: "Then you should also know that Qin Prime Minister Li Si's "Shuoshu Lun": As a county official, he saw that the rats in the toilet of the official house were not clean, and he was close to dogs. , The number is frightened. I entered the warehouse, watched the rats in the warehouse, ate millet, lived under the big veranda, and saw no worries of people and dogs..."

"Of course I'm not encouraging you to be like a big mouse, stealing the high temples and leaving the dead; I just hope that you will have the opportunity to meet in the future, and you can deal with it calmly and even seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; it is even easy to play with this generation Between the palms of your hands, it’s good to use it as a stepping stone.”

"In order to avoid that ending in the future, you should study hard and master more knowledge and experience from previous generations." Jiang Tian gently wagged his tail and said, "Relying on others to gain power and wealth can naturally be taken away easily; only you What you have mastered may be able to accompany you for a lifetime."

"Whether it is in the future or now, I don't want you to develop the habit of relying on others; even I am the same. If you choose to forget the forgiveness and reconciliation of the past, then I will bless you on a relatively smooth path. At least In the future, the power will be prominent and the wealth will be safe.”

"As long as you pay attention to avoiding a few key points, you can avoid being too involved in power disputes, and even make arrangements for certain key people in advance; and win a chance for yourself in the future. As long as there are enough people to plead for you , even the new master will not be too persistent."

"But if you choose the more difficult and bumpy road of revenge in the end, you need to use your own strength to achieve it; if you need to gain more power and resources, you can set a small goal first; for example, from the beginning of the liquidation Start by slandering your minister Xu Jingzong and others."

"Of course, the ugly words come first, even if you fail in the end; I will never rush to the Tai Chi Hall for you to face the two saints. I will only still respect your choice, and then as a secret Bystanders and witnesses, record this last scene properly."

As he spoke so slowly, Jiang Tian stared at his vision panel with floating eyes; the prompt that was called out was displayed: "Progress of the task scene: Qilv in different worlds / Chaoyun Guhong (3%)".His thoughts were temporarily let go back to a few days ago, probably after Mrs. Zheng left and returned.

"And I don't know, Mr. Li Nu, take it as any title." Then, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Zheng holding a piece of bacon tied with a straw rope, and bowed to him solemnly: "I want Wan'er, Mr. Bai As a teacher, in the name of righteousness, I have received instruction, prepared a little bit of training, and I will never give up."

It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Tian got the long-overdue reminder that "the space-time anchor was successfully locked."In other words, as a mother, Zheng Niangzi, the corresponding vigilance and natural vigilance are too deep.So much so that it took Jiang Tian several days of teaching to make her feel at ease.

In the end, it was only opened on the day of the Ghost Festival. This mission scene that makes people a little confused, or confused (异世奇旅/罗云少鸿).The next moment, the girl, who could only lie on the side and digest slowly because she ate too much because of her greedy mouth, suddenly stood up and said:
"No, Mom is back." (End of this chapter)
