Soon to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
The day of August 15 is exactly half of the three months in autumn, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival", also known as "Autumn Eve".
Ananda has spent almost two decades in this world, naturally knowing that the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world is not much different from before. In addition to eating moon cakes for moon festivals, there are various activities such as lantern lanterns and fire dragon dancing.
When eating moon cakes once a year, Ananda remembered the moon cakes of various flavors, and his eyes lighted up.
So the chefs in the villa were sad again.
A certain Jingui's pregnancy started to toss again for the taste of moon cakes. In addition to traditional sweet and salty mooncakes, chefs also need to make sour mooncakes, spicy mooncakes, and bitter mooncakes according to the taste of a pregnant woman. In general, all the sweet, sour, bitter and salty flavors of life are gathered together.
"Five flavors of life, let's taste it today ~" Ananda said with a look of food, but she didn't know how much brain cells the chefs in the village had spent because of her whim. But it's a real mess.
Not only that, when the request for moon cake was finished, a pregnant woman saw a wolf child like a loyal dog behind a small bun and small bun passing by, and thought: "Oh, moon cakes are generally round, right? ? Let's make some other moon cakes, for example, square, triangular, oval, bun-shaped, little wolf-shaped ... "
Listening to the words of a pregnant woman, the chefs were almost crying: kneeling, princess, you are really too frustrating. The round moon cake symbolizes reunion, is the square reunion? And this bun-shaped, little wolf-cub-shaped math! !! !! !!
The girls who were waiting aside also twitched their lips, and found that since the princess was pregnant, she seemed to have become even more distressed.
Of course, Ananda only got Ruicui's admiration for this move, and he was quite moved. He thought that Ananda's idea was very good, and he went to ask the chefs how to make animal models to make buns ...
In the end, as Lan topped the chefs with tearful eyes, finally persuaded the two second-hand goods to be embarrassed by the chefs. They are both the leaders of the moon, it is not easy to support the family, so make moon cakes round . After listening to Rulan's bitter persuasion and broken thoughts, Ananda and Rucui regretfully gave up the idea of making small buns and little wolf cub mooncakes, and then they decided to wait until next year when they were free. Experiment with making small bun moon cakes and little wolf cub moon cakes ...
Xiao Baozi sat blinking innocently, not sure what the little bun mooncake was.
A princess would be too frustrating. The chefs complained to the steward, and the steward secretly told Mu Yuaner the complaints of the chef and let him take care of himself.
Mu Yuaner had a bitter face, and I was going to be a cannon fodder for Mao?
Chu Baning knew this, but just said lightly: "Since the princess likes it, let her do it."
Mu Yuan'er made a sound on his face, but there was a feeling of "it really is" in his heart, thinking that those people were asking for the wrong one. Knowing that the prince of their family is sullen, but he is a spoiled wife, do you want to come here, is not tantamount to pushing yourself into the fire pit?
On August 15th, Ananda and Rucui said that there are lively bazaars in the nearby towns. I heard that they are specializing in Mid-Autumn Festival. The place where Bie Zhuang is located is Taoxi Village, which is about ten kilometers away from the village. It is Taoxi Town. Listen to the nearby tenant farmers say that at this time of the year, the Mid-Autumn Festival is held in the town from the early time, which is very lively. Let them suddenly want to go and have a look.
When Ananda and Rucui were talking, when Chu Baning came in, Ananda helped her belly more than four months old to greet him and asked, "Why did Wang Yee come back so early today? You do n’t need to attend the palace. Is it the Mid-Autumn Festival? "
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chu Ba Ning went to the palace early in the morning. For the tendency of Emperor Chongde to favor his younger brother, he would definitely leave his relatives in the palace for a reunion dinner or something. I did not expect him. Came back so early.
Chu Baning helped her sit on the pit, took the tea made by Yahuan, drank half a cup of thirst, and said, "No, the mother and the emperor are considerate. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet does not require the king to attend. Anyway, it ’s held once a year, and it ’s tiring. It does n’t matter if the king goes or not. ”Chu Baning said lightly, completely leaving the emperor and the queen mother who lamented his filial son / brother in the palace.
Ananda knew that he spoke lightly, which was not the case. Perhaps the empress emperor wished that he would stay in the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was not assured that he and Chuchu would return. Of course, Ananda feels that the modest Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the palace is very regular, and the food is not delicious, and he must always pay attention to the actions of the emperor, guessing what the king ’s heart is, and the pressure is great. It ’s better to sit and eat together as a family Chat is free.
So Ananda saw him indifferently, and didn't take it seriously.
***********
In the afternoon, the sun was no longer strong, and Chu Baning asked his subordinates to prepare horses and carts to take his wife to the town.
Ananda heard it for a while, and rushed to kiss him on the face a few times. This bold move did not accidentally make a group of girls hung down and smiled secretly. They felt that the princess was so bold that she rushed directly to the impertinent lord.
"Don't make a mess, go and change clothes." Chu Baning said solemnly.
Ananda held him innocently, and wanted to say, "Brother, please don't take the pliers around her waist and eat tofu while you say such insincere words seriously?"
Parents want to go out to play, of course, the little guy is indispensable, and as the Chuchu little buns, the future dark guard is naturally taken with him.
Ananda ordered people to bring the two little guys together, and then a family of three plus a future shadow guard wolf child took the guard to the town and went to town.
When I came to the town and got out of the carriage, I saw some shops and restaurants facing the street re-decorated the storefronts and set up colorful buildings with red satin. At this time the street was very lively, people came and went, and the red lanterns hung in the air. Although it was not dark because it was not dark, it was also a little festive.
Ananda and Rucui were so excited that they yearned for this kind of folk activities-after all, they have been in the villa for a long time. The two looked at each other, laughed, and plunged into the crowd with a bunch of mules.
Ananda is holding her small bun in her hand. Although she really wants to hold her own man, the conservative customs of this era make her unable to help others, so she can only regret it. Fortunately, Chu Baning walks beside her with his hand on his back. A small hand can be hooked, making her smile.
Several guards of the Royal Palace followed them, and secretly guarded them. These guards cleared the people along the way, so that pedestrians would not accidentally squeeze over them, hurt a pregnant woman, and avoid ignorant people from colliding. master. Of course, the guard's move made some pedestrians who were forced to give way very dissatisfied, but in a blink of an eye, when they saw the male and female couples wearing Chinese suits and brocades in the middle, they knew that they could not mess with them, and soon they were relieved.
"Miss, little county master, give ~" Ru Cui handed two Qiuhu lamps to Ananda and Chuchu, "Miss, this is said to be Qiuhu lamps, made by an old lampsmith in Taoxi Town. They said it was It was passed down from their ancestors, and only their family can make it ~~ "
This autumn lantern is different from the ordinary lanterns. It is made of six bamboo cymbals, which are put into a lamp, and covered with white gauze paper. The candle is inserted into it. It looks very simple and beautiful. Both Ananda and Chuchu like it. Fiddled with it and decided to go back and put it in the stream at night.
After strolling for a while, the followers of Yahuan came with a few packets of snacks. They were all greedy pregnant women. Every time they went there, they had to buy them back. Although the amount of each packet was not large, but it was too much. Zero zero always came down, three pregnant women could not finish eating. In this regard, Ananda calmly said something to make people squirm.
"Rest assured, I'm not eating alone, this one in the stomach is definitely food, I ate it with him!" Ananda looked stunned.
"..."
Everyone is black, they love to eat but lie on the child in the belly, never seen such a bad mother.
Moving forward, there was a sudden increase in traffic, and the sound of gongs and drums came along, and various applause sounded. Ananda saw too many people, knowing that she could not go crowded with people, so she did not go forward, but stopped a passerby and asked what activities were going on.
It can be seen from the road population that a game of "throwing relatives" was being held in front of it. A color platform was set up there, and it was arranged into the moon palace scene described in the storybook. Tree and other things. Then let some little girls who did not go out of the cabinet dress as Chang'e. With the sound of drums, "Chang'e" threw some handkerchiefs embroidered with different colors to the stage. If the handkerchief received by the audience is the same color as "Chang'e", they can go to the stage to receive the award.
"Well, isn't Wu Gang cutting the tree?" Ananda asked blankly.
The man looked at it in surprise, and Ananda remembered that although there was also a legend of Chang'e in this world, Wu Gang was not legendary that the emperor had been punished for cutting trees in the Moon Palace, and he said sorry,
In the evening, more and more people were on the street.
Ananda, the pregnant woman, soon felt tired and saw more and more people. She was afraid of giving birth to the piece of meat that accidentally hit her belly. Some wanted to go back. But in a blink of an eye, I saw Xiao Baozi looking curiously, and it was difficult to find it once, and I didn't want to disappoint her daughter. A ugly look, said to Chu Baning: "Master, I'm a bit tired, let's find a place to rest, let Yahuan take Chu Chu to play."
Chu Baning looked at him and said to Mu Yuaner, "You take the small county master to stroll around, take a few more guards, don't get lost. We are waiting for you in this restaurant."
Mu Yuan'er glanced at the restaurant next to him, remembered the restaurant's name, and answered respectfully.
Ananda also instructed the girls to pay close attention to the small buns, and went to the restaurant with Chu Baning.
When they came to the restaurant, they picked a second floor and sat down. As soon as I sat down, Xiaodian Dian diligently put some fresh fruits on it. At this time, it is the harvest season. Fresh fruits such as pomegranate, pear, jujube, chestnut, grape, orange are on the market, so you can have a good meal.
Ananda took a pomegranate and handed it to Chu Baning, motioning him to break it away, she wanted to eat pomegranate.
Chu Baning's complexion was calm, and she naturally obeyed Ananda's words, opened her pomegranate, and exposed the ruby-like seeds. Chu Baning doesn't like Yahuan to serve, as long as the two are together, they do it themselves, so Ananda also went with him. Therefore, many times, it is more do-it-yourself. Ananda has made him natural since she became pregnant.
Ananda ate a full pomegranate seed and found that it tasted sweet and was not his favorite, so she set it aside and brought over the fried chestnuts that she had just bought, and motioned for a royal lord to peel her. Ananda made some of the princes happy to make the call natural, but made the guards on the side waiting to widen their eyes, but in Chu Baning's eyes swept over, all respectfully converged expression, with a look of calmness.
The elegant sitting on the second floor has a good view. Sitting at the window, you can see the whole street as soon as you lift your eyes. Ananda was picky and asked Chu Baning to help her peel chestnut, while searching in the crowd, soon saw the little girl being held by the girl ring, followed by two guards, the boy followed silently behind the girl ring.
Suddenly, Xiao Baozi seemed to see something, let people put her down, then turned and took Zhen's hand to a stall of noodles. Mu Yuaner approached the bargainingly neatly, and the street vendor began to flex his face. After a while, the street vendor handed in two people. A girl hurry up and gave the silver, took the face person and handed it to the small bun. The little boy looked at those two faces, and then gave one to Zhen beside him, kind of caring.
After getting to meet someone, the little guy should not be hugged this time, holding Zhen's hand to follow the crowd, several Yahuan guards followed behind them, somewhat like the enemy.
The little guy was kind of frustrating.
Watching several people gradually disappear into the crowd, Ananda retracted her gaze and lazily supported her chin to watch the people coming and going. Occasionally when she looked up, she saw a man elegantly peeling chestnuts for her. This lazy happiness permeated from the bottom of my heart.
One, endless peace and joy.
Well, really happy too!
