"Zhou Yi" sets six as the yin number, nine as the yang number, September 9, the sun and the moon and yang, two nine are heavy, so it is called the double yang.

Chung Yeung Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that dates back to the pre-Qin period. On the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, people usually go out with their families to enjoy the autumn, climb high and overlook, watch chrysanthemums, plant dogwoods all over the place, eat Chongyang cakes, drink chrysanthemum wine, and pray for longevity and healing.

Early in the morning of the Double Ninth Festival, before it was dark, Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er got up, and they were busy for most of the hour before they prepared all the items for the trip, and the sky was already bright at this time.

Xie Xiaowan entered the room lightly, lifted the mosquito net, and saw Xianggong who was still asleep, and really couldn't bear to wake him up.

It is said that Xu Jin copied the book until the early hours of the morning last night, and finally finished copying the "Book of Rites", and he was tired enough to choke in the past two days.

"Xianggong, get up!" Xie Xiaowan gently pushed Xu Jin's shoulder, and the latter hummed, continued to sleep, and covered the quilt over his head.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaowan was angry and funny, and ruthlessly lifted the quilt on Xu Jin's body and threw it aside, and said angrily: "Xianggong, you're ready to set off and ascend, everyone is waiting." ”

"Good lady, Xianggong is sleepy, can you sleep for a while? Just for a moment!" Xu Jin whispered.

"That'...... I can only sleep a little longer! Xie Xiaowan was so excited by Xu Jin's words "good lady" that she obediently re-covered her father-in-law with the quilt, and then withdrew.

At this moment, in the open space in front of the Fei family's mansion, the servants and servants gathered, and more than a dozen carriages were ready to go. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the relatives of the Fei family's back house almost poured out of the nest, ready to go to the Nine Lion Mountain in the north of Leadshan County to climb the Buddha to pray for blessings, and take a visit to the lively Chongyang Tea Market by the way.

It is said that Fei Hong has a wife and a concubine, and the concubine He is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and has a daughter, who is only three years old this year, and is tired of being in her mother's arms at the moment. And Fei Cai has not yet reached the age of forty and has not taken a concubine, so there is only one original wife Lou at present.

At this time, all the inner relatives were gathered around the Yuan family, and the three girls of the Fei family were naturally no exception.

The three beautiful maidens were all dressed in full costumes, with sachets embroidered with chrysanthemums hanging from their waists, and a small bush of dogwood stuck in their buns, and the bright red fruits were particularly conspicuous.

"Steward Zhou, have you all arrived?" Yuan asked, glancing around.

The housekeeper Zhou Heng replied respectfully: "Gongzi Xu and Mrs. Xu have not arrived yet. ”

Yuan couldn't help frowning.

Fei Maoxian hurriedly explained: "Mother, Ziqian has been busy copying books for the past two days, and he sleeps in the early hours of the morning, so it is estimated that he is getting up late. ”

Yuan's brows furrowed when she heard this, she naturally knew about Xu Jin being punished by the old man for copying books, and nodded: "It's okay, then let's set off first, you can also chase after it, and play by yourself, anyway, we old things can't play with you young people." ”

All the inner relatives laughed.

Fei Xiaoyu's most distressed thing is to travel with her elders, she has to follow the rules when she does anything, she has no freedom at all, she can't help but dance when she hears this, and she nodded again and again: "Mother, go quickly, if you miss the time to worship the Buddha, the Buddha will blame!" ”

Yuan gave birth to Fei Xiaoyu at the age of thirty-five, so he spoiled this little daughter very much, stretched out his finger and poked Fei Xiaoyu's forehead, and said angrily: "Don't think that your mother doesn't know what the hell your girl is doing, go out this time to be honest, if you cause any trouble, carefully lock up your little monkey." ”

Fei Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue cutely, and said coquettishly: "Mother, people are so naughty." ”

Next, the Yuan family set off first with a group of inner relatives, leaving only the two brothers and three sisters of the Fei family to stay in place and wait.

Fei Xiaoyu raised her hands in celebration and said happily: "Great, Xu Jin's lateness actually helped a lot." ”

However, before Xu Jin appeared after half a burnt incense, Fei Xiaoyu's little pepper began to complain: "How can this be reasonable, Xu Jin, a big lazy worm, must not have gotten up yet, it is too much for us to wait for him for so long." ”

Yahuan watched the chess and smiled: "Didn't the girl just say that Xu Gongzi's late arrival helped a lot?" ”

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Now it's a disservice, you should scold!" ”

Fei Ruyi glanced at her sister and said, "I'd better go in and have a look." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan walking out, and Yue'er carried a food box and followed behind.

"Xu Da lazy worm, I finally waited for you." Fei Xiaoyu was dissatisfied.

Xu Jin smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I got up late and made everyone wait for a long time." ”

Xu Jin wore a set of jade-colored shirts, a square scarf on his head, red lips and white teeth, an elegant and calm temperament, and a sachet embroidered with a chrysanthemum pattern was tied around his waist, which was sewn by Xie Xiaowan herself, and it was filled with a bush of dogwood.

Xie Xiaowan is also dressed today, with a bush of dogwood inserted into the butterfly hairpin bun, and an embroidered chrysanthemum sachet is also tied around her waist. Xie Xiaowan is already a coquettish little beauty, so she looks even more delicate and cute, plus now she doesn't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, her skin has become fair, and she looks even more smart, standing with Xu Jin at this moment, like a pair of beautiful people.

Fei Maoxian smiled and said, "It's okay, we didn't have to wait long!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "No, we've been waiting for almost half an hour!" ”

Xie Xiaowan grabbed Fei Xiaoyu's little hand and said apologetically: "Xianggong, he slept very late last night, so he got up late, sister Xiaoyu, don't be angry, give this sachet to you." ”

"Hee-hee, that's pretty much it!" Fei Xiaoyu happily took the sachet handed by Xie Xiaowan and tied it around her waist.

Xie Xiaowan gave Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang a sachet each, and even the Fei brothers had a share, one for each person. It is said that during the time when Xu Jin was taking the exam in Nanchang, Xie Xiaowan learned from Yue'er about female popularity when she was idle, so she sewed a lot of sachets.

"Hehe, thank you, Mrs. Xu!"

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong took the sachet and tied it generously on their belts, earning each other's sachets during the Double Ninth Festival, and filling them with dogwoods is a kind of etiquette to bless each other, so there are not too many taboos, and the more sachets you receive, the better.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaowan, I also happened to have a sachet here."

Fei Ruyi took out two sachets, one for Xie Xiaowan to tie, and the other shyly tied it around Xu Jin's waist, and sorted out his clothes for him.

Xu Jinjun's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss Ruyi." At the same time, he glanced at his own lady with a little humility, and saw that this little girl didn't seem to mind, so she put her mind at ease.

Jingle Bell......

The four carriages slowly drove out of the Fei family's manor, and the bells tied to the four corners of the carriage made a pleasant sound.

Nine Lion Mountain is located on the edge of the Xinjiang River in the north of Leadshan County, and is composed of nine stone mountains that resemble lions.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival and the Double Ninth Festival, a grand tea market will be held at the foot of the Nine Lions Mountain, and tea merchants from all over the country will flock to purchase tea.

The four carriages did not pass through the city, but went around the foot of the city wall to the north of the city, because there were so many people traveling today that the city was very crowded, and it was better to make more detours than to be stuck in the city.

About an hour later, everyone finally came to the edge of the Xinjiang River in the north of the city, where there was a pontoon bridge leading directly to the Nine Lion Mountain on the other side of the river.
