Today's dinner was breakfast, and the sisters ate little, and they didn't drink, so they left the table one after another, and first arrived at the pillow platform where the moon banquet was about to start.

Compared with the pillow platform in mid-spring, although the temperature is also suitable at this moment and the fragrance of flowers is swaying, the warmth is revealed in the cold spring, and the bleakness is revealed in the cool autumn.

"The lotus fragrance fades and leaves are gone, and the west wind sorrows are rising among the green waves." Huanyan looked at the railings, and the yangbi lake in front of her was a scene of autumn.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but turn her head to look at Huanyan. The second sister had always been peaceful and full of joy. Today's festival is still sad in autumn.

"I love these two sentences alone. Compared to the praises of the people, "Drizzle dreams of returning to the far away of the chicken, and the small building blows the jade sheng cold" is even more empathetic." Shu Yan was also standing by the fence to enjoy the scenery. The autumn-colored crepe wide-sleeved dress was embroidered with maple leaves, and as far as the hem of the skirt was filled with fallen leaves, two golden birds were looking for food. The hem of the skirt was slightly rippling, and the bird seemed to be alive.

Xiaoxiao was not surprised at this time. Firstly, it was because Shu Yan actually matched Huanyan's words, and secondly, it was because Shu Yan's evaluation of Li's song "Huanxisha" was exactly the same as that of later lyrics critic Wang Guowei, and he felt the wonderful intersection of ancient and modern thoughts.

Out of love for this poem, Xiaoxiao said: "These two sentences remind people of Qu Yuan's 'mothering of the filth of the fragrance, fearing the beauty's old age'."

When he heard this, Huanyan Shuyan said unconsciously: "This comment is amazing!"

Xiaoxiao smiled with shamelessness and secretly reminded himself that he should not use the artistic achievements of his predecessors to give himself cleverness in the future.

"What are the girls talking about? It's so lively!" The person who came was Aunt Zhen. Some days I haven't seen her so lively. It seems that Uncle Wu's return has injected a lot of vitality into the woman. As for ancient women, husbands are sometimes really their god.

Xiaoxiao stood up quickly and helped Aunt Wu sit down: "We are saying that our pillow platform is well-built, and the garden master is really worthy of it. Regardless of the changing scenery of the four seasons, just talking about the benefits of Zhongchun and Zhongqiu can make people talk about it."

Zhen pulled Xiaoxiao and sat down. Seeing that the glass cups on the table were filled with osmanthus tea, he said to the maid at the mat: "This osmanthus tea is sweet and greasy. Now I just want to drink some clear mouthfuls."

The girl who was asked also felt that the fifth wife was full of energy today, so she cheered up and replied: "Return to the fifth wife, the second wife of the second wife today made four kinds of tea. In addition to the osmanthus honey tea, there were also dragon balls and phoenix cakes, Ganlu Mountain Huangya, and the millennium tea tree king Pu'er, which was specially sent by the eldest wife to bring back."

Zhen smiled first: "Sister-in-law is really calm. She has to be busy with business during the holidays. No matter how much money is, she can't make it all~" Before the sisters could speak, she said again: "The women don't dare to eat too much for dinner, so they really don't need to use heavy Pu'er tea to relieve greasiness. Although yellow buds are suitable for drinking in autumn, this tea from Ganlu Mountain is a tea that is used as a companion, and is not suitable for use at a big banquet. Besides, the dragon balls and phoenix cakes are sold in the world now. The emperor has lifted the ban. People dare to use any name."

Xiaoxiao didn't answer for a moment. From what he said just now, it turned out that today's moon-watching banquet was hosted by the old lady to the second aunt. No wonder Aunt Fifth is very sensitive to the fact that she is picky about the inner house. Some people must have mistakenly thought that this is a prelude to "letting the virtuous".

Shu Yan naturally didn't say anything, but Huanyan, a good old man, had to speak. This matter was related to the effectiveness of his mother's first banquet. It was okay to be given a few instructions from the old lady, but Aunt Wu could not say this.

Huanyan walked over the fence, and recently she has cleared a lot. The autumn green geese with reeds has a slim effect again. Her temperament seems to have improved a lot of warmth that was previously ambiguous, but now she seems to have cultivated some slightly coolness with edges.

"Aunt Wu taught everyone a tea art class," Huanyan sat down with a smile, picked up the remaining half cup of osmanthus tea and drank it all: "Although Pu'er tea is to relieve greasy, if it is cooked in a tea stove, it can also warm the stomach. Now that the wind comes from the three sides of the pillow platform, it is inevitable that someone wants to drink some hot and warm the body; with the yellow buds of Ganlu Mountain, it is naturally not as good as the yellow buds of the royal tea garden, so it is also called van tea. It is served with the imperial tea in front of the imperial tea, and naturally it is just a 'accompaniment' accompanying tea."

Zhen just smiled and said nothing, but the girl beside him hesitated and didn't know which kind of tea to pour for her, so she could only let the fifth wife's cup be empty.

"My second sister really made me more knowledgeable. I only know Mengshan and Huoshan. This is the first time I heard of Ganlu Mountain. I will definitely try it later." Xiaoxiao is not easy to make everyone feel unhappy.

Huanyan nodded and smiled: "Today I worship the moon, everyone is naturally mortals. Only the moon in the sky is a god! We mortals naturally have to drink mortal tea." Then she picked up a lotus pot on the table and filled the tea cups in front of Zhen. "In front of the moon, it is good for us to accompany us."

Zhen was so upset that she couldn't get up. She was just complaining. Unexpectedly, Huanyan reacted so much. As an elder, she couldn't have any direct conflicts with the younger generation. So she took a sip of Huangya in front of her, and did not make an evaluation, but changed the topic: "I almost forgot that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held by my second sister-in-law, so she naturally had good tea. This dragon ball and phoenix cake was something that I had in front of me. If we could really taste it, we would have gained some knowledge."

"The dragon ball and phoenix cake is just Beiyuan tea in Fujian. Nowadays, the people can afford it. However, private baking is not as good as official baking. Not everyone can pick the real tea on Phoenix Mountain." Huanyan's tone was plain, but the content of the words was to suppress first and then rise, and she did not show the official baking dragon ball and phoenix cake for Zhen. "I heard from my mother that this time, the official baking Beiyuan tea was only 2 taels. I plan to hold a tea cereal when I watch the moon after dinner and enjoy it, and the whole family tasted it."

Zhen was stunned. The dragon ball and phoenix cake that he looked down upon the most was actually the most precious... "Official Bake" cannot be bought with a lot of money, it symbolizes identity. In this family, the one who can get "Official Bake" is probably Jiang, who is an official in her mother's family.

This is the first time Xiaoxiao has heard that tea is also roasted by official roasting. It is probably like those porcelains, and it is also divided into folk kilns. Those who play with antiques know that official kilns are much more valuable than folk kilns.

It’s not a big deal to just hold Aunt Wu like this now. Xiaoxiao followed the question and asked: “Don’t laugh at me for being ignorant, I just don’t know if this Beiyuan tea is green tea or…”

Huanyan's gaze at Xiaoxiao was obviously much softer: "Beiyuan tea is green tea, with a unique charm and is very suitable for drinking at this season. In fact, it is not limited to official roasting. As long as the tea quality and processing skills are good, this tea is worth drinking."

Xiaoxiao nodded. Of course, everyone present didn't know about this, but Xiaoxiao still understood that Beiyuan Tea is actually the predecessor of oolong tea. Later oolong tea occupied a large part of the tea market, especially the classic Tieguanyin and Dahongpao.

Xiaoxiao was thinking about whether she could mix some white peach petals and make white peach oolong with Beiyuan tea, and saw Shanniang and Ruan coming together: "What are you talking about? It's so quiet."

Zhen's reaction was quick, and he hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Xiaoxiao is telling everyone the benefits of this pillow platform. It's just that spring and autumn have their own unique features!" As he said that, he came to help the two sisters-in-law sit down.

Xiaoxiao didn't feel the cunning of Aunt Wu, but when he heard Ruan ask himself the same words, he smiled and said, "No matter what you are next, I will only talk about the fragrance of flowers. I remember that during the Grain Rain, the whole family was having a banquet on the moon platform. The fragrance of sycamore flowers above, and behind the water pavilion was a large peony garden, which emitted a refreshing fragrance. It was also the east wind in spring, transporting the warm and sweet smell of the wood fragrance in the east across the lake, but the fragrance was intoxicating."

Ruan only held his chin and looked at Xiaoxiao. He really liked to hear his niece talking. Then Xiaoxiao continued, "It's time for the southwest wind to blow. The osmanthus forest is in the south. The fragrance of osmanthus seems to be there or not, and suddenly it floats mischievously into the nose. With such a fragrance, it is really the most suitable for watching the moon."

Shan Niang laughed unconsciously: "A big osmanthus tree was planted near by, and the fragrance naturally drifted to her nose~"

Xiaoxiao ran to the railing and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a osmanthus tree next to the small umbrella pavilion at the corner of the Bibo Lobby. Because the sycamore trees on the water pavilion were too lush, the osmanthus tree was not eye-catching on weekdays, but at this moment it was full of golden osmanthus trees, and the fragrance was wafting over a hundred miles.

I don’t know if it was because of the slightly warm climate of the Yuanlong Dynasty Kyoto or the superb skills of the gardeners that actually made these osmanthus trees bloom in North China. Although the fragrance was not as strong as that of the south, it was also very rare.

"No wonder my grandmother arranged the moon-watching banquet to the moon platform. It turned out to be for this big osmanthus tree!" Before Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she heard that the Bibo Lobby became lively, and it must be that her grandfather and grandmother came to watch the moon.

I heard the laughter of Uncle Fifth from afar. This uncle has not changed since ancient times and is still very lively. Especially this time, he made a lot of money in North Korea, and his alcohol tolerance has become much bigger than before, so his laughter is naturally higher.

Zhuli Pavilion rarely talks about the business situation of these relatives at home. Regarding the "feat" of Uncle Wu, Xiaoxiao still heard Yanran Smiling during the meal that the business had failed before. He was forced to thank the person for his arms and legs and no one mentioned it again. Tang Qifan arranged enough money to redeem the people, and the ship he went there to let the glassware full of them go out to do business. There is no reason to run an empty ship. Naturally, some goods have to be transported. As for the choice of goods, it depends on the perspective of the selected goods. The market has changed rapidly. Even the local North Korean merchants cannot say that they fully understand the market, let alone the Gentiles.

Therefore, this ship of glassware also has a bit of a gamble. Fortunately, the glass market in Kyoto is becoming saturated, and the price of this ship cargo is not very expensive.

Perhaps it was because of Tang San's keen sense of business, or perhaps it was because Tang Wu's flaws came to the extreme. This ship of glassware actually caught up with the pinnacle of the North Korean glass market. Tang Wu made nearly five times the amount. Then he bought a large number of Korean ginseng from a local familiar drug dealer. After transporting it back to Kyoto, it happened to catch up with the peak season of Korean ginseng. It is said that the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription for Korean ginseng, and the upper class rushed to imitate it. The prescription became more and more popular, and even the wealthy people flocked to it.

Tang Wuye’s ship of Korean ginseng came at the right time. The Kyoto pharmacy was sold out, but the ships traveling to North Korea had not yet arrived at the port. At this time, a batch of high-quality Korean ginseng can be said to be priced at gold, especially the fifth master’s ginseng are all excellent red ginseng, which is more scarce than white ginseng and is more suitable for infancy in autumn and winter.

Anyway, Tang Wuye made a big profit this time.

Yanran smiled and everyone wore a red gold Korean spring hairpin on their heads. The exaggerated and trembling flowers and butterflies were very eye-catching. When they saw this, they kept asking, "Why didn't I wear the peach rose hairpin my father bought for me? It was a rare carved rouge jade. Even the Korean royal family didn't have such a big piece!"

Xiaoxiao was confused when she heard it, and she could only say that she couldn't bear to wear it because it was too precious. In fact, the jewelry box sent by the fifth room had not opened yet, and she was sleeping when she got home...

The lake light in front of me dimmed little by little, and the big moon was already hanging in the sky.

The corner lights on the pillow platform gradually light up, and a rosewood moon table was placed in front of the platform. The round moon-shaped jade plate was filled with various fruit and snacks: plump and juicy apple grapes, golden round melon and honey pomelo, and moon cakes of various fillings of various sizes, like bright little moons one by one.

Xiaoxiao looked at the big watermelon cut into lotus petals. How did these common things become so exquisite and beautiful in ancient times? Every time I feel that I am particularly honored to have arrived in such a beautiful era and have not been separated from my relatives.

The shrine was placed on the table by the old lady himself, facing the moon position, and looked curiously at the moon palace talisman worshipped in the shrine, which was a rabbit-faced god.

The men at home did not come to the pillow platform, but stayed in the umbrella pavilion on the other side of the Bibo Lobby to enjoy the moon. At this time, the pillow platform was a special show for women.

The old lady lit three incense sticks and knelt on the first cushion. Several wives knelt in the second row, while the girls knelt in the third row. The servants present knelt in the last smile and bowed three times with everyone. They didn't know what wish for a moment, but they just silently recited the health of the whole family.

After worshiping the moon, everyone walked on the railing to enjoy the moon. Only when the incense in the incense burner burned out could everyone eat the fruits and moon cakes on the table.

The men finally came to watch the moon one after another. Xiaoxiao looked at her father in the crowd. She only saw her father for the first time at the table after returning to Dawangzhuang. The father and daughter didn't have time to say anything at the table. At this time, the whole family was watching the moon and gathered in front of the railing. Qifan smiled and handed Xiaoxiao a bracelet with osmanthus branches. Xiaoxiao took it and put it on her hands. She felt it smelled fragrant and showed it to her mother again. The mother also smiled and said it was good.

The moon on Yangbi Lake seems to have been dyed with a faint green color, and the textured golden color appears in the water. The rabbit in the moon also appears mysterious because of this bowing.

Xiaoxiao had never seen such a clear and huge moon before, and he simply suspected that the moons of ancient and modern times were not the same.

The whole family looked silently for a long time, and the bright moonlight shined in everyone's eyes.

When the fragrance was over, the old man took out a large round silk bag in the shape of a moon, and sent a red envelope to each child, which was actually a moon board made of red gold. The ones sent to the boys were pure round, and the ones sent to the girls were rabbit-shaped, with auspicious words written on them.

Xiaoxiao looked at the little rabbit in his hand, and four words were engraved on the back: The man and the moon are round.

I felt happy and was curious about what others were like, so I saw Smiling and come over with a smile: "I am Qianli Chanjuan, where is my sister?" After seeing it, I smiled and said that the human and the moon are round, and then I went to see Yanran's. After hearing that it was "beautiful than Chang'e", I thought that that was the best.

Xiao Qian also ran over and secretly pulled Xiaoxiao, showing her his moonboard. Under the moonlight were four clear words "Zanggong Zhugui", and Xiaoxiao was also excited: "It must be kept, this meaning is good!"

Xiao Qian said "ah" and then took it to show it to his mother Ruan again.

Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was lively, but Shu Yan stood alone by the railing and looked at the moon silently. After all, today is a day of reunion, and she might have thought of her biological mother.

Xiaoxiao walked over gently: "What is written on sister's moonboard?"
