I want to be a grandson

Chapter 435
"A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital", which records the scenes of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Ming Dynasty, writes:

"When offering sacrifices to the moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the cakes must be round, the melons must be divided, and the petals are carved like lotus flowers... Those who have wives who return to Ning will return to their husband's house on this day, which is called the Reunion Festival."

The full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival".

In terms of season, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the "Autumn Harvest Festival". The grains planted in spring and summer should be harvested in autumn. People drink and dance in this season to celebrate the harvest happily.

The moon of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly round, and there are various melons and fruits, as well as moon cakes of various sizes and patterns, all of which are pressed out of moulds.

The young princes and grandchildren, as well as the concubines in the harem, all came to the palace under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, praying for the happiness of the family.

The reason why he chose to hold the banquet in the East Palace must be to support Zhu Yunxi, and he wants to tell everyone that he will be the "head of the family" in the future.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to take the stage, of course he is also willing to perform on stage!
Zhu Biao just passed away last year, and everyone was sad, and no one was in the mood to celebrate the festival. At that time, the reunion festival would be a gunshot!
But there is no such taboo during the festival this year. Although it is inevitable that Zhu Biao will be thought of, since Zhu Yunxi is hosting this reunion banquet, he will not be left alone.

It will not make people always think of Su Dongpo's famous poem through the ages, "People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times. I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles."

Each prince has prepared a message of congratulations, congratulations in turn,

There is also the Chang'e Flying to the Moon Dance rehearsed by the Jiaofang Division. Various repertoires, various juggling and shadow puppetry were arranged, which made everyone feel overwhelmed and very happy.

The poem "Recalling Shandong Brothers on September [-]th" is well written, but it will inevitably make people sad.

"I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives during the festive season; I know that my brothers are climbing high, and there is one less person who planted dogwood everywhere."

Isn't this properly reminiscent of brothers separated by yin and yang?

So after the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering, there is no plan to gather again for the Double Ninth Festival.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very satisfied, the children and grandchildren were reunited, what could be better than this.

During this period of time, Zhu Yunxi has been very busy. The Gunpowder Department has moved to Pingshan, the Ordnance Bureau is also speeding up the production of guns, and the steelmaking plant is also stepping up construction.

It's a rare opportunity to relax, shed all the burdens, and spend the holidays in comfort.

After everyone dispersed, Zhu Yunxi lay comfortably in the bathtub, soaking in warm water, and his whole spirit was in a very comfortable state.

Zhao Mingzhu carefully massaged his shoulders, fingering gently.

Zhu Yunxi asked leisurely: "Today is the reunion festival, do you miss your family?"

"Yes...uh, no, Your Highness, the slaves don't have anyone in their hearts..."

"I can't even tell a lie. Next time I want to tell a lie, remember not to speak in such a hurry. It's not too late to think about it first..."

Because the relationship between the two is relatively close, Zhao Mingzhu was not so restrained, and said with a light smile: "Your Highness, how can anyone teach people to lie? Besides, you are the grandson of the emperor, who would dare to lie to you."

But Zhu Yunxi said: "It's a felony to deceive the emperor, and it's a kind heart to make people happy. I don't believe that you didn't lie to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you can't wrong a good person, even if you give me a little more courage, you won't dare to lie to you, I really didn't lie to you..."

"Really not?"

"Not really!"

"Oh..." Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh, and said thoughtfully: "I thought you were really homesick, so find a time to let your mother enter the palace, so that you mother and daughter can be reunited. Since you don't want to go home, then forget it." It's..."

"His Royal Highness, please, slave... slave..."

Zhao Mingzhu was extremely embarrassed, just now she said that she didn't want to go home and dared not lie to His Highness, now she revealed her secrets?

But if he doesn't admit it, His Highness may really not let his mother into the palace, then he won't be able to see his mother...

I haven't seen my mother during the time I entered the palace, and it must be a lie to say that I don't miss her, but... what should I do now!

"Then are you homesick? Also, didn't you say you didn't lie to me?"

Zhao Mingzhu's face was pretty red, and she was in a dilemma when he teased her. At the end, she twisted her body and pouted a cherry in her mouth and said, "My lord, this servant does not think about home, but misses mother. This is not deceiving your highness!"

Seeing her small mouth and pink lips, Zhu Yunxi felt a fire in her stomach, "Come on, come in..."

"Your Highness, being seen by others..."

"What's the matter, it's not that it hasn't been washed..."

He took off one by one, leaving only simple clothes, and cautiously entered the tub.

I don’t know if it’s raining, but I can always hear the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, the raindrops are going to hit the leaves, crackling,

Sometimes the wind is violent and the rain is violent, stirring up waves and flowers, and the water floods the pond; sometimes the drizzle moistens things, silently, but refreshing.

This kind of bathtub is very large, and the water can be released as long as the cork is pulled out, so after tasting it, Zhu Yunxi let out the excess water

Then he glanced down with his eyes, and the shy pretty face receded down...

Since Zhu Yunxi exposed the true face of Master Huineng of Shuiyuean last time, Xu Miaorong, the fourth daughter of the Xu family, has indeed suffered some blows.
After all, she was still young, her faith had collapsed, and the master she had always respected turned out to be a liar who tried every means to defraud her of money and fame, which made it difficult for her to understand and accept.

Fortunately, Xu Miaojin has always been by her sister's side, giving advice in many ways.

Xu Huizu also ordered people to demolish the nunnery at home, and took the scriptures outside and burned them all. He did this because he was afraid of resurgence, and he didn't want his sister to see those things.

And ordered anyone in the family not to talk about Buddhism, otherwise they will be severely punished, so as not to arouse the memory of my sister.

After several months of fading, the little girl finally came out of her sadness and disappointment, and her mood became happier.

She came to Xu Miaojin's room and saw that she was embroidering a handkerchief. She smiled in surprise and said, "Sister, when did you learn to embroider? You didn't touch needles and threads very much before!"

Xu Miaojin was more favored in Xu's family. At that time, she was young, and she thought it was fun to watch her mother and other aunts embroider.

Children are most afraid of needle pricks. It is not only the pain in the hands, but also the psychological pain, so Xu Miaojin has not learned any more since then.

That's why Xu Miaorong was surprised when she saw her embroidery.

Xu Miaojin replied: "It's not difficult, it's just a needle and a thread, it's easy to learn."

Xu Miaorong stretched her head to look, and saw the pattern of mandarin ducks embroidered on it. Although she knew that it was a pattern embroidered by her daughter, she still jokingly said: "Sister, you embroidered like this, are you going to meet your in-laws, or are you going to send off your husband?" Woolen cloth?"

Xu Miaojin said angrily, "You little girl, I just have nothing to do with me, if I embroider casually, I will give it to others, I can't talk nonsense!"

In ancient times, women showed their embroidery to their future parents-in-law, first to show their craftsmanship, and second, to tell their parents-in-law that they are virtuous and virtuous, and that they can take care of their husbands and serve their parents-in-law at home.
So as to please them and let them recognize themselves, then the marriage will be completed.

Three days into the kitchen, washing hands to make soup.

If you don't know the nature of aunt's food, send your sister-in-law to taste it first.

The approval of in-laws is a big event in this era.

If it is given to Lang Jun, it is an expression of love, and the intention is very obvious.

But no matter how you say it, giving away the handkerchief I embroidered means that I am going to get married.

"Sister, I didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious to deny it? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart!"

"Little girl! You will learn to make fun of me by then, and I don't know who will hold me back when crying, but you will forget it so soon!"

Xu Miaorong smiled, knowing that she was actually a little dazed before, and she was also a little embarrassed.

"Come on sister, show me how you embroider. When it comes to embroidery, my sister can teach you..."

"Don't take it, don't look at it! Give it to me..."

Taking advantage of her inattention, Xu Miaorong took the handkerchief she was embroidering at once, looked intently, and almost laughed out loud!
"Sister, sister, is this the mandarin duck you embroidered? Are you sure it's a mandarin duck and not something else?"

Xu Miaorong's eyes widened, and she suppressed her smile.

Because the stitches on the top are scattered, the silk threads of various colors are in a mess, and one color is shown in another color, which looks messy.
It was clearly a mandarin duck with distinct colors, but it was almost embroidered into a mosaic by her!
In addition, this is the pattern embroidered by my daughter at home, and it is embroidered the most. If it is far away, it does look like a mandarin duck at first glance.

But if you take a closer look, that's not the case!

These are clearly two quails!
Saying that quail is already giving face, okay?

Xu Miaojin knew that she was not good at craftsmanship, but she still felt a little blush when being teased by her sister like this,
He snatched the handkerchief over and said, "Go and play, I just embroidered casually, and I didn't take it seriously... What's the matter with you coming here, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and don't bother me here!"

"Sister, you have issued an order to evict guests! Okay, okay, I won't talk about it... Hehehe, my sister is good at reading poetry, but embroidery..."

"Smelly girl, you still say it!"

Xu Miaorong quickly said: "Sister, the last time I saw His Highness was at Shuiyue Nunnery, these days you stayed with me at home and didn't go to see His Highness, he won't be angry, right?"

It is easy to cause ambiguity!
What do you mean you didn't go to see him?

A daughter's home to meet a man... embarrassing, isn't it?
Xu Miaojin glared at her and said: "His Royal Highness must be very busy in dealing with important affairs of the court. He must be very busy. How can there be so much free time?"

"Your Highness also said to take us to a shadow puppet show!"

"..."

Thinking of that face, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but feel happy, but where is he?
Can't help but feel a little sad...
