The days when I was farming and chasing my wife in ancient timesgl

There is a saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th originated from the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon.This kind of ceremony has existed since the Zhou Dynasty to show respect to the gods.It can be held wherever there is moonlight.In case of cloudy and rainy days, you can place the sacrificial table in the direction of the moon.

In the eyes of ancient people, the moon is a deity second only to the sun, and has always been an important object of worship. "Book of Rites · Ritual Method" records: "The night is bright, and the moon is also sacrificed." According to historical records, the Zhou Dynasty had activities such as "welcoming the cold on a mid-autumn night" and "autumn equinox and eve of the moon".

However, offering sacrifices to the moon gradually turned into a custom of admiring the moon.I don't know when, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing and playing with the moon are quite popular among the people.

In this era, the custom of watching the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival is still very popular. Regardless of the upper-middle class or the lower-class people in the society, all families climb high to admire the moon, gather and drink happily until late at night, and many families even leave at dawn.The shops were open until dawn that night, and there was an endless stream of people playing with the moon.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole market is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

Liu Yiyi got up early in the morning and gave rewards to the servants and maidservants in the yard, and gave them all a day off, allowing them to go home and reunite with their families for a day.

You must know that Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi had no one to serve them when they were in Jiantian Village, and now giving the servants a day off will not have much impact on them.On the contrary, they like the feeling that two people are busy with housework together and do everything by themselves.According to Han Jinyu, this is the taste of home, but now there is less time.

And Han Jinyu is still asleep in bed and refuses to get up. The two husband and wife discussed it last night. The two of them will not go to the store today. Shop, have a reunion festival with your family in the evening.

Therefore, someone who didn't have to do anything today naturally stayed in bed. Liu Yiyi knew Han Jinyu's habit, thinking that she was too busy a while ago, so she didn't wake her up and let her sleep well.

Fortunately, the things to worship the moon were already prepared in advance yesterday, and Fang Qing invited a few of them to go to the streets to enjoy the moon tonight.

As a result, someone slept until noon and didn't get up. When Han Jinyu didn't wear it here, she would sleep at home in the dark every time she didn't have to go to work, let alone a meal or two. , her highest record can sleep for two days, only drinking water.

But here, Liu Yiyi won't let her snooze like this, and go to the house to arrest people when she doesn't see her getting up at noon.

When Liu Yiyi woke her up, she was still hugging the quilt and said in a daze, "Aren't you resting today? Let me sleep a little longer, and wake me up early in the morning."

Liu Yiyi glanced at the sun hanging high outside, it was still early in the morning, this person was really muddy enough.

"Get up soon, it's already noon, you still have things to do in the afternoon, but I can't leave here, don't expect me to go to the shop."

Liu Yiyi still coaxed her gently, with a soft tone, without any hint of reproach.

He pulled the quilt in Han Jinyu's hand again with his hands, but he didn't move it in a daze.

Han Jinyu still hugged the quilt tightly and didn't let go, humming and saying, "Let me sleep for a while, just for a while."

"Hey, I have been busy since I got up in the morning and have no time to rest. I suddenly feel very tired, but I still have a lot of things to do in the afternoon."

Liu Yiyi has been with Han Jinyu for so long, of course she knows where Han Jinyu's weakness lies, and Han Jinyu's weakness is her.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the person on the bed lost his drowsiness immediately, sat up abruptly, and asked anxiously, "Yiyi, are you tired? Why don't you take a break, and I'll get up to help with things right away. Next time this happens, you wake me up earlier."

Then he got up quickly and wanted to pull Liu Yiyi to bed to rest, but was stopped by Liu Yiyi.

"I'm not too tired for this meeting. Let's get things done early and go to bed early in the evening. And, don't forget, we invited Fang Qing and Jingxian to go to the street together to enjoy the evening."

It was only then that Han Jinyu remembered that there was still this existence. Fang Qing initiated this gathering. Ever since she and Liu Yiyi moved to the county, Fang Qing and Su Jingxian would occasionally go to the shop to find Liu Yiyi to choose perfumes. Sometimes they use it for themselves, and sometimes they give it as a gift. After going back and forth, the three of them became bosom friends, and even often left Han Jinyu, and the three of them traveled together.

Su's father and Su's mother went out for a tour during this period, and Su Jingxian was left alone at home. Fang Qing feared that she would be bored at home alone, so she initiated this party.

Speaking of Su Jingxian and Fang Qing, Han Jinyu had told Liu Yiyi about his reverie before, but Liu Yiyi also thought that what Han Jinyu was thinking was not realistic.

Liu Yiyi also expressed her own point of view. First of all, the two have been friends for so many years, so they are naturally closer than others.Secondly, if the two of them really wanted something, it would have already happened, so why wait until now.If you want to say that the two are just uncivilized, then it is impossible for anyone to implement this idea in front of them.

Therefore, Liu Yiyi repeatedly reminded Han Jinyu not to promote the relationship between Fang Qing and Su Jingxian. This may be his own wishful thinking.

Han Jinyu got up, washed and dressed, had lunch, went to the shop, gave rewards to the shop assistants, and specifically told them to close the shop in the afternoon, and then go home early to celebrate the reunion with their families.

Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi are usually very kind to the shop assistants and never put on airs.In addition, they are very sympathetic to the workers, they naturally work hard and never slack off.

Sun Yizhi was also in the shop at this time, and Han Jinyu specially asked him to come over to help. His current position is equivalent to that of the shopkeeper, and his salary is more stable than when he was a storyteller in a teahouse, and the salary he gave was higher than that of others. Sun Yizhi knew that Han Jinyu was I am helping him, and I am naturally grateful in my heart.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Niang specially made moon cakes and asked him to give some to Han Jinyu. Although they were not expensive things, it was also the wish of the husband and wife.

Han Jinyu was very happy to receive the mooncakes from Sun Yizhi, and also sent him back a bottle of wine that he just bought on the way here.

After the matter in the shop was settled, Han Jinyu went back to the house, and accompanied Liu Yiyi to discuss the moon sacrifice tonight.

In the evening, the family had a reunion dinner together. This reunion dinner was completed by Liu Yiyi and Han Jinyu together.Mother Liu was very relieved to see that the two of them were still as sticky as Jian Tiancun.

After dinner, a sacrificial table was set up in the yard facing the moon. Liu Yiyi and Han Jinyu placed the objects to be worshiped on the table one by one, and placed a small incense burner for incense sticks in the middle of the table. Everyone knelt down and offered incense one by one.

Tonight, the lights outside the street were brightly lit, and Brother Nian ran out to find his friends to play with after finishing incense.

Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi accompanied Mother Liu to enjoy the garden for a while, and Mother Liu was tired and went back to the house to rest, but it was very lively tonight, and the street was full of people, I am afraid that Mother Liu might not be able to rest well.

The faint moonlight shines over the treetops in the courtyard and falls to the ground, and the whirling branches sway from time to time in the autumn wind. Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi are cuddling each other at this moment, sitting in the courtyard and looking at the bright moon and the starry sky. The two suddenly regretted agreeing to Fang Qing's going to the street for a while, but actually it's good to stay together quietly like this.

Before the two had time to feel emotional, Fang Qing's voice sounded from outside the yard.

Fang Qing packed up early tonight, if she hadn't had to wait for Jiyue, she would have slipped out a long time ago.

As soon as she went out, she went straight to Su Jingxian's house. When Fang Qing arrived, Su Jingxian was left alone in the courtyard to enjoy the moon. Su Jingxian stayed with her at home.

Anyway, her parents have long turned a blind eye to her frequent visits to Su Jingxian recently.

Fang Qing has made enough preparations for tonight. She booked a boat on the Xijiao Lake early on. There are many young men and women going there for the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. If you don't book in advance, you won't be able to rent a cruise ship.

I don't know since when, the people here have developed the custom of going to Yefang to play on important festivals.

Every small boat there is unique, with long bamboo pipes for water diversion at the bow, and a dining table in the middle. Visitors do not need to bring their own food, and the tea set, tableware and chopsticks are all provided by the boatman.This kind of boat lady is usually good at cooking, and the dishes cooked are called "boat dishes".Boatmen also catch fish and sell them to tourists for releasing them.There are also boats on the lake that sell food to tourists, some sell melon seeds, chestnuts, candied lotus root, roast chicken, etc., some specialize in selling tea, and some boats carry artists.

Such a beautiful day, when the few of them sat on the small boat and enjoyed the delicious food and wine, I have to say that the people here really enjoyed it. It was the first time for them to try this kind of eating on the lake.

Fang Qing and Su Jingxian have heard of it before, and friends have invited them, but they always choose to stay at home with their relatives on festival nights, and they don't want to come out.This is the first time for Liu Yiyi to celebrate a festival in the county, and the former Han Jinyu didn't like to appear in front of people, let alone come here.

The four of them ate and drank very comfortably. Since Han Jinyu and Liu Yiyi joined Su Jingxian's ranks of busy people, such leisure programs are very rare.

After playing the drinking order for a while, everyone drank some wine, but they only drank a few glasses, and they were out at night, and they were on a boat, so naturally they didn't dare to drink too much.

Fang Qing went on to suggest that if they have time in the next festival, they should go out for a night tour again.

It was late at night, and when the four of them went back, the number of tourists here did not decrease at all, which meant to have fun all night.

Until many years later, they will never forget that the night is like the sea and the stars are like lights tonight.
