Chapter 188: Raise a glass to invite Mingyue
In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, which is the most important festival of the year in addition to the Spring Festival.
Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the great rivers of China have been north and south, but wherever the bright moon shines, the people, regardless of men and women, have climbed high to admire the moon, gather and drink, and even have fun all night until dawn.
The people of Nanjing City want to celebrate the festival, and the city of Beijing, which has not been mentioned for a long time, also has to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival......
Today, the yamen in the capital have taken a holiday early. All the disciples of the Science Gate went home early for the holiday.
Although the master is no longer there, they are not separated, and they still live in the west courtyard of the Zhao Mansion in Chunsong Hutong.
Even the popular science exhibition hall in the East Courtyard still maintains the rhythm of opening on a single day and closing on two days.
The brothers and sisters also continued to innovate and put a lot of effort into it, but they didn't fish because the master left.
Later, even Li Maofang and Chen Yuma also moved over, and Wang Xijue, who lived here for three days and did not leave, the house was still very lively.
At this moment, Chef Wang was in the back kitchen, holding two spatulas in his hand, opening his bow left and right, and he was very busy.
Wang Wuyang led Wang Dingjue, Yu Shenxing, Li Maofang, and Chen Yuma, and looked at Zhao Hao's full-body portrait on the wall of the hall to think about his teacher.
I saw the senior brother twisting incense, looking at the portrait wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a black-edged Confucian robe, holding a telescope in one hand, and pressing on the globe with the other, and reported with tears in his eyes:
"Master Qiqi, the disciples have completed the fifth chapter of "Conic Curves", and "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science" have also learned the twelfth chapter of the first part, the attraction of spheres."
Li Maofang and Chen Yuma, who were standing at the end, lowered their heads in shame and whispered, "Master, not including our ......"
"Although the second junior brother often writes to teach the teacher, without the master's earnest teaching, the disciples' world is like an endless night without the warm sun."
"This includes." Li Chen and the others whispered again.
Then I saw Wang Wuyang's tears sliding down his cheeks, and he choked up: "Today is the hundredth day after leaving Master, miss him." ”
"Master, we miss you." The juniors and disciples also had red eyes and took turns to incense Zhao Hao.
Then they followed the senior brother to kowtow to the master, and after getting up, they said in unison:
"Master, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
~~
Chongming Island, in the Xisha Sea Temple.
Jin Xuezeng, the new commander of Chongming County, and his senior brother and master Yu Shensi are also kowtowing to a bust of Zhao Hao.
On the bust, Zhao Hao was holding a copy of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science" in his hand, smiling wisely.
"Today is the sixty-fifth day since I left Master, I miss him." Jin Xuezeng choked up.
"Woo, I want to ...... master" The sensitive Yu Shensi cried even more.
The two of them have been here in Chongming County for two months, and not only have they not found the feeling of being the lord of a county, but they have suffered a lot, and they feel that being exiled is nothing more than that.
After being wronged and suffering, the nostalgia for the master naturally became more and more real.
They are looking forward to the stars and the moon every day, just waiting for the master to come and see them......
"Master, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, woo woo ......"
~~
On Yangcheng Lake, the disciples in Kunshan are accompanying the master for the festival.
In the painting boat specially borrowed from the Gu family, sitting on Zhao Hao's left and right hands were Hua Shuyang and Pei Peijia who came from Nanjing.
Also sitting together were Zhang Jian, Zhao Shizhen, Zhao Shixi, Xu Yuanchun, Xu Weizhi, and the 30 students who came from Beijing.
Xue Lang also stinked and shamelessly followed the boat.
Zhao Gongzi was talking to two disciples who had come from afar, when he suddenly sneezed in a row.
"Sneeze, sneeze!"
"Close the window, the lake breeze is too cold!"
"Don't freeze the teacher!"
"Master, cloak!"
The disciples were so attentive that they were eager to find a quilt to wrap him in.
~~
Not far away on the Lou River, in another smaller painting boat.
Jiang Xueying, Ma Xianglan, Qiaoqiao, and her maid Xiao Yun'er are also worshipping Zhao Hao.
Of course not, people are worshipping the moon!
In this dynasty, there is another moon worship activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At first, both men and women could worship, young people sought fame, and young girls sought a happy marriage.
I don't know when there was a so-called 'men don't worship the moon, women don't worship the stove', and the moon worship has become the privilege of girls, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has also become the day that girls are most looking forward to.
Because on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how strict the family education is, parents allow their daughter's family to invite friends, dress up for travel, visit the night market, put lanterns, and play all night will not be blamed.
Parents are not afraid that their daughters will learn badly, because the stinky boys are all hooped at home for the reunion festival and are not allowed to go out......
At this time, there was a long incense stick on the bow deck.
On the top of the moon, there is a 'moon god card', and there are also moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other offerings.
Jiang Xue was in front, Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan were left and right behind her, and Xiao Yun'er was a little further back, all kneeling in front of the incense case.
The three daughters followed Miss Jiang's meticulous incense worship and prayed to the moon god devoutly.
Secretary Ma actually didn't believe in this set very much, because as the secretary of the science master, she had already seen the hemp face of the moon with an astronomical telescope.
knew that there was no Moon Palace at all, and there was no Chang'e. To whom does this wish be heard?
It's just that she doesn't want to be treated as an outlier, so she is still very serious about making up for things there.
While twisting the incense, she peeked at Jiang Xueying, who looked more and more icy and jade-boned under the moonlight, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turned out that Chang'e was here.
Secretary Ma didn't even have to guess to know what Miss Jiang had promised.
She even regretted it a little, why did she wake up Miss Jiang when she was in Yangzhou?
It's a good thing, this ice and snow smart girl, after overexerting herself in the early stage, quickly figured out Zhao Hao's mind and knew how to get into his heart.
Jiang Xueying no longer does the things she is not good at, she understands that what Zhao Hao needs most is irreplaceable by others, and she can become a good helper in his career.
And she is smart and always treats Zhao Hao with a gentle and considerate side, and the two have only been together for less than two months, and they have become good friends who talk about everything.
This made Secretary Ma secretly sweat for the little county lord, and I don't know if she saw her letter.
If you don't hurry up and start the battle to defend the son, she will almost get the results of the battle, but she will be snatched away by others!
~~
Can the little county lord of Beijing not be in a hurry?
Li Mingyue happened to receive the letter on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now she didn't even care about going into the palace to accompany her uncle for the holiday, and ran to Dashamao Hutong to find 'Daming's best friend' Zhang Xiaojing for help.
At that time, Zhang Xiaojing was in the room, singing softly to the "Secluded Scenery of the Stone".
"The light smoke and ancient ink are vertical and horizontal, and half of this gentleman is written. There is no need to report the safety of the newspaper, Concubine Shixian Xiang has seen ......"
saw that the small county lord broke in, and she was so frightened that she almost threw the lyre on Li Mingyue's head.
ps. The second update, what about the Shura field that everyone is looking forward to......
