Poor family mother and son

Meng Yong flung his sleeves angrily and left.
Don't speak up if you can't make sense!
I don't expect the two women to cooperate in this matter, as long as they can touch porcelain, wouldn't something happen without their cooperation, wouldn't it be more real and more believable?
Meng Yong counted the days, the day after tomorrow, June 24, just right, let's just do it today!
Dafang wants to get in touch with that brat of the Chu family, oh no, it will take a while for the future son-in-law, our second wife will let that kid take the bait the day after tomorrow!
June 24th is the "Lotus Viewing Festival" in the Jiangnan area of Daxuan, also called "Hedan", which means that this day is the birthday of the lotus.
With the Jiupai River that runs through Daxuan from east to west, the festivals in the south and the north are obviously different, and there is no such "Lotus Watching Festival" in the north.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the Lotus Watching Festival is a grand festival for the whole family to enjoy the lotus and watch the lotus. People will carry out all activities related to lotus that can be imagined.
In June, it is the hottest summer. During the day, people pick lotus root and make lotus root to float in the clear waves. It is more fun to spend summer and enjoy the cool air;
Especially for eating, there are more edible parts of lotus, not only edible, but also delicious, and there are many ways to eat.
For example, tasting lotus dishes.
The flowers, leaves, lotus root and seeds of lotus are all top-grade delicacies. People will eat "green purse rice" on the lotus viewing day.
It is made of japonica rice and glutinous rice mixed with various flavors such as fish, meat, mushrooms, etc., wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed.
Petals and lotus seeds are also eaten. People mash lotus petals, mix them with rice flour and sugar, and steam them into lotus cakes; or make lotus wine and lotus seed porridge.
The lotus root is more to be eaten. The fried lotus root with minced meat is a must-order dish for all ages, and it is even more delicious to cook it with tender white lotus root cut into small pieces, fresh lotus seeds and rice with the skin removed. Unusual, amazing.
There is also the lotus fish bun that foodies must eat. The fish is wrapped in a lotus pod (lotus pod) and steamed. Go to the lotus room, so that you can spend Huachi alone and transform the dragon."
The lotus is full of treasures: the leaves can clear away heat and relieve heat, the flowers can promote blood circulation and resolve phlegm, the lotus seeds can nourish the heart and kidney, the lotus root can be raw and cooked and can be used as medicine. It is called "spiritual root" by doctors, and poets also praised it: "cold is sweeter than snow and frost. Bimi, a piece of mouth sinks and heals."
After eating and drinking, the lotus can still play, such as setting off river lanterns.
The natural long-stalked lotus leaf is used as a container, and candles are burned inside, so that children can play with it;
Or hollow out the lotus pods and light candles as lamps;
Or cast hundreds of thousands of lotus lanterns along the river, drifting with the current, flickering, really beautiful, just like the "floating river lanterns" on the [-]th of July.
In addition to eating, drinking and playing, there is another thing among literati that has also become an activity, that is, debate.
Ordinarily, the lotus and the lotus are the same thing, the lotus is the lotus, and the lotus is the lotus. The word "lotus" specifically refers to the fruit of the lotus. In fact, the lotus and the lotus are originally the same plant.
However, the literati of Daxuan insisted that the lotus is above the water and the lotus is blooming against the water, and they have been arguing endlessly about this.
This kind of debate, on the contrary, became a new activity of Jiangnan literati in the "Lotus Viewing Festival".
This is a festival activity for the literati on the spiritual level, but the general public also has a spiritual level activity-falling in love.
Of course, those who are interested can meet on this day; those who have no ideal but have reached the age of marriage, friends or family members can go out to play together, especially for girls with a lot of restraints, it is a rare opportunity to find a bosom friend .
Due to the great defense between men and women, there are very few opportunities for girls and boys to communicate.
During the Lotus Watching Festival, young men and women have the opportunity to communicate and express their love in their hearts, and parents will not be too restrictive.
There is a poem that goes: "The lotus flower harvests the summer heat before the wind, and the lotus flower is full of blue waves. Today is the birthday of the lotus flower, and the husband and the concubine sail together."
Look, isn't this an opportunity!
I heard that the kid named Chu Dong is very dandy, he joins in when there is excitement, and spends money lavishly. This kind of festival must come out arrogantly.
The "Lianguan Festival" is a festival by the water. If there is water, there is a chance.
*************
This year's "Lotus Watching Festival" will be organized by the Songjiang Government Office.
This is something very new.
Originally, the Lotus Viewing Festival was a folk festival, most organized by local chambers of commerce. If officials from the Yamen could be invited to participate, it would be the "face" of the chamber of commerce.
Only national festivals like the Ghost Festival are officially organized, and the country even has a three-day holiday.
But this year is different.
Perhaps it was because Jiangnan, as the largest grain-producing area in Daxuan, had half-empty granaries and was unable to support the disaster-stricken areas. Under the turmoil in the officialdom, everyone was at risk. Lotus Watching Festival.
It doesn't cost much, so to speak, at no cost.
The magistrate gathered all major merchants for a small meeting, said "Pray for the disaster area", and then just drank tea and waited.
Merchants naturally "actively" spoke, who is responsible for providing singing and dancing, how many lotus ponds are open, who is responsible for the security and sanitation of which areas, who is open which land for tourists to stroll, and so on.
The government only needs to be responsible for arranging the locations and routes for small vendors to set up their stalls.
The magistrate of Songjiang's abacus is a thief.
This year, Songjiang Mansion’s summer tax has already been affected. At this time, the government has come forward to organize the festival and encourage small businesses and hawkers to come out to set up stalls.
Not spending money, collecting more taxes, at most it is just overtime for all the government offices, but it can guarantee to increase the amount of autumn taxes paid to the court.
As a large merchant and an important member of the chamber of commerce, the Meng family naturally contributed. They were responsible for the colored silk decorations on the main streets in the prefecture.
It was Meng Yong who strongly suggested to provide colored silk, but Meng Chun originally only wanted to provide a lotus pond.
After all, even the simplest colored silk lotus requires half a foot of silk, which is too expensive.
But Meng Yong had his own thoughts: Don't you plan to let our second room marry the Chu family?How about that?I have to create opportunities for my daughter.
But if you want to create opportunities, you can't do without falling into the water, catching fire, etc., that is to say, you can't do without the lotus pond.
If the Meng family provided the largest lotus pond, wouldn't it be that the "accident" happened on their own territory, and it would be fine if it was completed, and if it didn't, wouldn't that be throwing stones at the feet?
So Meng Yong was frothing, and finally Meng Chun agreed to provide silk.
"With the fishing rod and the bait, the fish are missing!" Meng Yong patted his belly full of confidence.
"Master," Mrs. Li came over and asked, "I want to take Yue'er to relax at the Lotus Watching Festival tomorrow. What arrangements do you have?"
Instead of asking Meng Yong what program he arranged for taking the children out, he asked Meng Yong if he wanted to go together.
Mrs. Li didn't have any hope. Meng Yong's family concept was so weak that it was almost zero, and he never thought about taking his family out on a trip.
Sure enough, Meng Yong replied: "I won't go, my friend from the chamber of commerce invited me to have a gathering with the 'Drunk Eight Immortals', tomorrow you have fun with Yueer."
