Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2203 Flower Controversy (110-[-])

Tian Kuang Festival is a very grand festival in Huai'an. It is about the story of Tang Monk returning from learning Buddhist scriptures when he was crossing the river because he regretted that the scriptures fell into the water and were soaked. .This storyline only appears in "Journey to the West", even though it is said that the custom of drying books on Tiankuan Festival has existed since the Tang Dynasty. In addition, on this day, there is also "red and green drying", that is, every household takes out their clothes Hanging in the sun, according to legend, this custom is related to Qianlong. When he was on the road of Yangzhou tour, it happened to be heavy rain, and his coat was wet. It was not easy to wear the clothes of the common people, so he had to wait for the rain to clear and dry the wet clothes before wearing them. .

In addition, there are customs such as women returning to their natal homes, humans and animals bathing, and paper-cut figures hanging a human figure called "Sao Qing Niang". Every June and July is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and rainy days often occur.Sao Qingniang will drive away the dark clouds, and the paper figurine will wear red clothes and green pants.

Changganli is an ancient place name in Nanjing. The "Changgan Journey" written by Li Bai tells the love story of an ordinary businessman couple living in this city. "Bamboo horse" refers to the boy, and "Qingmei" refers to For young girls in modern times, there has been a long history of making wine from green plums, but "cooking wine from green plums" has nothing to do with love, but what was cooked when discussing "the world" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The greengage picked in early June was still very sour, but it was the time when its aroma was the most intense. When Nick came to the kitchen, he saw Wanning directing the servants to draw well water and wash the greengage with salt.

Everyone was so busy with it that they seemed to have forgotten to make lunch, and Nick joined in to help.The wine used to make green plum wine is best to choose light-flavored or rice-flavored white wine, but Jiangsu people like to use rice wine to make it. Nick and another servant poured a large jar of Shaoxing rice wine from a dusty wine jar When it comes out, the amber liquid exudes a strong bouquet, paired with the sweet and sour smell of green plums, which smells refreshing.

There are many varieties of rice wine, such as Huadiao and Nurhong, and what Nick and the others poured just now is Nurhong.Legend has it that as long as a daughter is born in the family, the father will dig a few holes in the backyard when she is born, put a jar of newly brewed rice wine in it, and dig it out as a dowry on the day she gets married.The longer the rice wine is stored, the better. If the daughter is married off, the wine will be kept in the ground for 18 years, and it will emit a very charming fragrance when it is opened.

Although Nick and the others just poured Naughty Red, it was not the dowry of any lady, and the winery would also brew some "Naughty Red" for sale.

After pouring the wine, seal the mouth of the jar, and put it in a cool place. After a few months, you can enjoy the green plum wine. Everyone seems to have completed a project, with smiles on their faces.

Only then did the chef bring out the lunch. It was a home-cooked dish called "live fish pot stickers". It was not as delicate as Huaiyang cuisine, but it was just as delicious.After eating, Wanning and Nick went to the hall where they usually stayed to continue studying.

Many women in this era have to study "Biography of Women", one of which was written by a woman named Ban Zhao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The stories told in the book are similar. Or praise a woman for taking care of her parents, quietly, as Wanning said, like a shadow.

Wanning had no interest in that book, or rather than Ban Zhao, she liked Wang Zhenyi, a female astronomer in the Qing Dynasty known as "after Ban Zhao, only one person". Unfortunately, she passed away very early.

Not long after, the servants brought bamboo curtains and candles, and separated the hall from top to bottom with bamboo mats. A table was placed on the east side of the hall, and two candles were specially placed on the table, while the other table was placed on the west side. side, but there was no candlelight there, and it was very dim. Through the bamboo mat, Miss Wanning could see the outline of Nick, but he couldn't see her clearly in the dark.

Nick felt that such behavior was very rude, and when he was about to protest, he saw Cao Xi at the door, looking at Nick angrily.

So Nick left the Governor's Mansion, wandering in the streets full of all kinds of clothes, like Venice.

Nick didn't go to the imam. Every time he went to him, it was almost always related to Yin Yin, which would destroy his rare good mood, even though he just met Cao Xi.

Generally speaking, what kind of mount does an immortal have to ride, and Li Bai's "Exiled Immortal", his mount is also extraordinary, it is a whale, so he is also called "Whale Rider on the Sea".

Whales are very large mammals. In the ocean, apart from "sea monsters", creatures larger than them are rarely seen. The "Kun" in Shan Hai Jing is even bigger than it and can change. Become a flying bird called "Peng".

Li Bai has a poem: The roc rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles.

This is a different kind of legend from the whale hunters who have always dreamed of catching a white whale.

He looked up at the stars in the sky, and waited until the first watch drum before returning to Guandi Temple. At this time, Juren had already returned, and was reading a book while drinking Nurhong by candlelight.

The memorial has already been handed in. In addition to recruiting the pirates, the admiral also added his own suggestion to deploy defenses on those islands that can provide fresh water. As long as there is no fresh water replenishment, the pirates will not last long.

Emperor Qianlong's image of the inherent drought in the Northwest caused the case of donating prisons and impersonating relief in Gansu, which also indirectly affected Juren's career in the imperial examination.

Who would have thought that the drought in Gansu would be smooth and the weather would be smooth, but Fujian would suffer a drought and really need disaster relief.

"Have you eaten yet?" Juren asked Nick, but Nick didn't know whether it was a question or just a greeting.

"Come chat with me," Ju Ren said.

Nick walked in, so drinking in the Guandi Temple was not considered a violation of the precepts, and not eating meat and drinking alcohol was a precept that only monks had to abide by.

In fact, since the 45th year of Qianlong, Hongli has been frugal. In previous years, after the end of the New Year's Day celebration ceremony, the emperor would hold a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, using 45 sheep and 19 bottles of wine. After 18 years of Qianlong, the number of banquet tables decreased. 18 cards were bought, [-] sheep were missing, and [-] bottles of wine were missing.

There are also fewer banquet tables for the Shangyuan Festival. In the past, a few more tables were arranged to avoid sudden guests. Later, it was discovered that many princes did not go to the banquet for no reason, wasting a lot of good food.

The banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was completely full of food, and it was all a formality. After the emperor ascended his seat, he had to smoke the "clean whip" three times, then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and had tea and meals. After eating the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor would also Going to a family banquet, this ceremony is accompanied by the queen and concubines, which is also a cutscene.

Emperor Qianlong had two queens, the first one had a very good relationship, and the second one accompanied Qianlong on the southern tour for 30 years. When he arrived in Hangzhou, he was suddenly ordered to return to the palace halfway and died the next year.

She was buried according to the specifications of a concubine, and when she died of illness, Qianlong was hunting in the Mulan paddock, and never went back. Instead, he sent a prince back to attend the funeral.It is precisely because of this that some scholars wrote that the funeral system of the second queen was not in compliance.After her death, the family banquet was presided over by Concubine Ling.

"A cutscene is a cutscene, don't take it too seriously, but etiquette can't be wasted." There is something to be said in Juren's words.

Nick drank up the glass of wine Juren poured for him, and took all the rest of Daughter Hong from the table.

He wants to have a drink with Cao Xi, if Cao Xi doesn't go out tonight.
