Chapter 1108 Holiday

Moon blue, sweet rice cake;

The blue moon is here, laughing, I hope I will grow taller soon.

The atmosphere in the streets and alleys has gradually increased half a month ago. The most obvious thing is that the children playing in the alleys are triumphantly singing nursery rhymes learned from their elders or brothers and sisters. Can celebrate the festival.

Blue Moon Festival, the biggest annual festival in Jingjiu Dynasty, even people in Yamen who seldom have holidays will enjoy rest on this day.

Of course, if you are unlucky and assigned to be on duty, you will have no way to rest. You can only watch others have fun, and you have to serve.

Blue Moon Cake, a kind of rice cake, is a must-have traditional delicacy for the Blue Moon Festival.

After adding blue moon grass to the blue moon cake, it will turn into sky blue, and it will have a strange fragrance. Served with icing sugar or syrup, the taste is deeply ingrained in the memory of almost all Jingjiu people since childhood.

In addition to making blue moon cakes, there are many different customs in various places. For example, in Jingxi, during the Blue Moon Festival, blue moon grass decorations woven into various shapes will be hung at the door, such as kittens and puppies. In Jingzhong, some paper-cuts are pasted on the windows.

Of course, there is another custom that is basically practiced everywhere, that is, every family will worship ancestors on the day of the Blue Moon Festival.

And the family members who are far away from home will come back as long as they can, and then the whole family will get together, even if it is only for a day or two, they will still follow the ancestors' precepts, making the Blue Moon Festival busy and full of ritual.

In the past, Shen Hao spent the Blue Moon Festival alone. He would buy a catty of blue moon cakes on the street, and then make a few appetizers and put them in the yard for a meal. Even if it's the holidays.

Later, when he was promoted to an official, he had his own mansion, servants, and even slaves, and the festival became much more lively.

But for Shen Hao, the Blue Moon Festival didn't feel so joyful to him, and even he only had a feeling of "joining in the fun". After all, his background made him lack a basic sense of identity with the festivals of this world.

This year's Blue Moon Festival is different from previous years.

There are two biggest changes. First, Shen Hao is no longer a rootless apple, but has regained his family roots. Second, even Shen Hao is no longer a loner, he has officially married with one wife and one concubine.

These two changes moved this year's Blue Moon Festival from Fengri City to Xinliang City.

After all, with the family atmosphere, just making blue moon cakes is much more grand than Shen Hao's previous festivals.

Under the leadership of Shen Wentian, all members of the Shen family, regardless of gender, age or age, have to personally participate in the making of blue moon cakes. Children can make their favorite "big dog blue moon cake" laughing and laughing on the side.

It was also the first time for Shen Hao to make blue moon cakes, but he knew some cooking skills, so he got started quickly, and soon became one of the main production force.

The three fox girls are also good at craftsmanship, and their labor is good, so they help to push the grinder and carry the bucket to stir.

Yu Qiao, the head of the house, also received cooking lessons at home. Blue moon cake, a traditional food that is made everywhere, is of course not a problem. The final shape is almost all made by her instructing a group of housewives. No panic.

The skill that the housewife pays attention to is to "manage the house well". Whether it is money accounts or the backyard kitchen, the housewife must be able to handle it at her fingertips, so that she can be called "virtuous". This principle is also feasible in the royal family of Jingjiu Dynasty. It's like a man needs to be able to withstand the beams of the door and open up the situation, so the division of labor and cooperation will make the life of the family more prosperous.

Of course, there are those who don't lose in their hands and those who have clumsy hands.

Chu Linxiang basically knows some superficial skills in cooking, and she is very slow to learn about pastries. At the beginning, she was similar to Shen Hao, but Shen Hao started to play the main role and she was still there. steps. Even worse than Yu Qiao.

After doing this, Chu Linxiang couldn't help but feel aggrieved no matter how thick-skinned she was.

Fortunately, Xia Nu saw Chu Linxiang's embarrassment and asked Jinxiu to come over and help Chu Linxiang do it together, which relieved Chu Linxiang's embarrassment.

Many people came, but they didn't stay for long. Shen Hao led a few girls back to Fengri City after celebrating the Blue Moon Festival at the Shen's house in Xinliang City. He didn't stay overnight in Xinliang City. And the next day there is something else.

That night, because it was twenty-five, it was time to go to Yu Qiao's Lanyue Garden, but to Shen Hao's surprise, there was an extra summer girl in Yu Qiao's yard.

"Husband, I can't defeat you alone, can I ask Miss Xia to help out?" Yu Qiao's pretty face was blushing when she said these words, almost dripping water. This idea was completely out of necessity, and it was also the result of her discussion with her mother in letters. It's not so much that Shen Hao can't always be happy on the bed, it's better to take advantage of Xia Nu, a slave girl, than to be snatched by the woman surnamed Chu!

In fact, Yu Qiao's first choice was not Xia Nu, but the two maids he brought over from Yu's house.

The dowry maid has the duty to help the lady share the affairs between the beds. There are also a lot of people who train maids and become concubines in a sudden transformation.

It's just a pity that Mr. Shen has no interest at all in the two delicate maids beside Yu Qiao.

There are already five women in the family, which is already rare in another world. If it weren't for his success in cultivation, these five would be enough to cripple Shen Hao. Now I think it's enough, at least for the time being, I don't have the idea of ​​looking for a woman anymore. That's why Shen Hao once asked Yu Qiao if he would marry the two maidservants in the same family after a few years when they were older, and staying in Shen's house forever was not an option.

So Yu Qiao can only choose a helper among the few women in the family.

Chu Linxiang doesn't need to think about it first, the rest are the three fox girls. Originally, Yu Qiao wanted to find the two little ones to help, but then she thought that the two little ones would be for nothing, so in the end she had to choose Xia Nu.

This is not something easy to talk about, Yu Qiao asked her maid to talk to Xia Nu.

Xia Nu didn't refuse, she came over directly, and even took the initiative to say some private words to Yu Qiao, most of them were private words on the bed. Yu Qiao blushed when she heard it, but at the same time, she quickly remembered that it was all Xia Nu's personal experience, maybe it will be useful at night?

That's why the scene Shen Hao saw in front of him happened.

After listening to Yu Qiao's words, Shen Hao looked at Xia Nv beside him. He didn't expect that this big quilt and sleeping together would open up like this? Will it be far from gang fights in the future?

After a night of nothing.

The next day Shen Hao took Yu Qiao away from Fengri City and went to Qizhou in Jingbei. According to the customs in Jingbei, newly married daughters-in-law can go back to their natal family to visit relatives after the Blue Moon Festival.

PS: Happy Holidays to everyone!

I also wish the motherland prosperity!
