Time was wasted, the time traveled quickly, thinking that I have been here for so long, I can't help but feel a little restless in my heart.But the most important thing for Chu Chenxing now is to understand the next Yuan Festival first, so as not to cause any trouble at that time.After all, I have only heard about this Xiayuan Festival, but I have never practiced it. As a "outsider", the most important thing is not to let other outsiders find out that I am strange.

Chu Chenxing came to Zi Xiyan's study and began to look for books about the Xiayuan Festival.But it's a pity that there are too few records about the customs of the Xiayuan Festival in ancient times, and everyone is used to word of mouth, so naturally there are much fewer records.The flickering candlelight made the dimly lit room even darker. Chu Chenxing rubbed his head, opened the next book, and saw a sentence in the middle of the page: "Fifteenth, the day when the water official relieved his misfortune, the palace watch Scholars and concubines, set up a fast and set up a sacrifice, or relieve disasters, or recommend death." According to Chu Chenxing's understanding and guess, it is probably to worship priests such as water gods, which is not much different from ancestor worship. The biggest headache.I remember that when I was young, doing ancestor worship at home was very troublesome. I had to take a bath one day in advance, smoked strange spices on my clothes, I couldn’t eat the cooked food, and I had to change into ugly clothes.Although I don't have any great achievements, I can still be regarded as a wild crane, full of disgust for cumbersome etiquette.Thinking of this, Chu Chenxing's head grew a few inches.At this time, Zi Xiyan came in quietly, seeing Chu Chenxing with a big face, he couldn't help laughing, and was going to take Chu Chenxing out to find a tailor to make clothes.Chu Chenxing was always lazy. He was a lazy person who could sit without standing, lay down without doing anything, and could sleep without waking up. He hated going to the streets the most.He must have protested against this decision, struggling desperately saying that he could do it, and rushed out to find tools, until Zi Xiyan watched him sew the two pieces of cloth crookedly, and finally stopped him unbearably.With Chu Chenxing howling, he was dragged out of the house and brought to the town.

The town was not in a bad mood, because although the town they lived in was outside the scope of Gyeonggi, it was a major grain-producing province, and the whole town seemed very lively.In addition, the scenery of the town is also good, so there is an endless stream of visitors, and it is very lively all year round.

Although Chu Chenxing grew up in the city, such scenes are indeed rare in modern times, and most of them are in tourist attractions.And Chu Chenxing did use his ability to visit tourist attractions, look left and right, this will be here, and then there again, fortunately, Zi Xiyan's eyes are still bright, and he can catch Chu Chenxing who is running around at any time, otherwise Oops.

After a lot of tossing and turning, the two finally arrived at the tailor shop. Chu Chenxing, who was alive and kicking, was relieved, and was controlled by Zi Xiyan like a puppet. After finally picking out the clothes, Zi Xiyan paid the money and left, and took Chu Chenxing away again. The vegetable market explained as he walked: "Here, we have to prepare a few dishes and make glutinous rice cakes for the next Lantern Festival. I am afraid that there will be too many people in the past few days, and there will be no time to buy things. If there is no filial piety Good Master Sailor, I’m afraid we will be punished later, so let’s get ready first and there will be no chaos.” Zi Xiyan said, dragging him to a vegetable stand, and began to pick vegetables.Poor Zi Xiyan is a scholar who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers. Looking at this easy-talking master, the little boss picked a few wilted vegetables and stuffed them into Zi Xiyan's basket. Although Zi Xiyan can't pick things, he is not a fool , seeing that the food was not good, but couldn't refuse the little boss's enthusiasm, so he had to cast his eyes on Chu Chenxing. It happened that Chu Chenxing took over the sugar man from the vendor, looked at Zi Xiyan for help, and quickly walked towards Zi Xiyan.

Taking the basket from Zi Xiyan, he looked at the listless vegetables, and then at the vegetable vendor. After confronting eyes, the vegetable vendor silently exchanged fresh vegetables for Chu Chenxing.Chu Chenxing licked his big face and praised his personality all the way to the sky. While completing the purchasing task, he bought a bunch of gadgets and went home in a mighty way.On the way back to the town, the two saw a black dog lying on the ground, which was very small but almost dying. Chu Xingchen's sympathy for the small animal was instantly overwhelming, and he did not consider the feelings of the dog at home. He picked up the black dog and went back .

The yellow dog at home was waiting bitterly for the meat brought back by the owner. Unexpectedly, when the two came back, what they threw to him was not meat, but a foreign creature. Chu Chenxing put the foreign creature on the ground, and Zi Xiyan took out a piece of meat from the basket. The meat was thrown to the yellow dog, but the black dog swooped and snatched it away.The speed of the dying black dog was so fast that the two and the dog were caught off guard. The yellow dog lost all the meat in his mouth. Chu Chenxing reacted with a burst of laughter and threw another bone. The black dog was going to grab it. , As a result, after looking at it, he left with a look of disgust, leaving behind the dumbfounded yellow dog and the two who couldn't stop laughing.

Chu Chenxing took Zi Xiyan back to the kitchen, arranged the dishes, soaked the glutinous rice in water, and then began to prepare today's dinner. The two of them hadn't eaten anything all day, and the evening meal was swept away by the two of them, but they didn't know that they The dog is still starving to death, and is confronting the intruder.

October [-]th came quickly, Zi Xiyan busily fetched clothes, Chu Chenxing kept expanding the area of ​​the kennel, and finished the food by the way. In this way, after a night of work on October [-]th, the two of them got together a little bit. After taking a break, I rushed to the town with the prepared food to participate in the festival ceremony.

After completing the complicated and mighty ceremony, the two went home and had dinner, and they were going to go shopping in the market at night.

As night fell, although the night market used to be lively, today it was considered a holiday, men, women and children naturally came out, Chu Chenxing was naturally unmovable, ran around, took food with one hand, and kept eating all the way, without stopping explain.Seeing him like this, Zi Xiyan reckoned that the old master's lack of words had no value in this guy, so he didn't say anything.

The dragon dance finally started, people on the street rushed towards one place suddenly, Chu Chenxing and Zi Xiyan were squeezed to and fro, Zi Xiyan was afraid that Chu Chenxing would lose, and wanted to pull people to his side, but he didn't expect that people were too crowded. Too many, Zi Xiyan looked at the sleeve in his hand that was tending to be excused, and said sorry a few times in his heart, and pulled hard——Chu Chenxing bumped into his arms.

The clothes of the two of them were all scented. It was strange to say that the incense they used at home had a strange smell, most of which were ordinary incense, but the smell on Chu Chenxing's body was so good that people couldn't bear to leave.Knowing that it is wrong behavior, but still makes people want to covet the moment, it is difficult to let go.Zi Xiyan was stunned, the person in his arms looked dazed, the pastry crumbs on the corners of his mouth hadn't been wiped off, he was clearly looking stupid, but it made Zi Xiyan's heart beat a few times faster.Zi Xiyan's face, ears, and neck were all red.Helped Chu Chenxing, told him there were pastry crumbs at the corner of his mouth, and dragged him to watch the dragon dance. Such abnormal behavior did not arouse Chu Chenxing's reaction, but secretly sympathized with Zi Xiyan, thinking that this guy was reading sage books and reading stupid I can't let him read like this in the future.

The author has something to say:

The Xiayuan excerpt mentioned in the article is taken from Wu Zimu's "Meng Liang Lu": "(October) [-]th, the day when the water officials relieved the misfortune, the palaces and scholars set up a fast and built a sacrifice, either to relieve the misfortune, or to recommend death. "It means that the next Yuan Festival is the birthday of the water official, and the water official will solve the worries and problems of the common people on that day.

In addition, the glutinous rice cakes mentioned in the article are more made in the south, and most of them originated in Puxian. The background location of the story is probably in the Hubei area, and the setting of the imperial capital will be in the Jiangnan area.Therefore, the customs will mainly choose the southern customs.

The night market also includes that everyone can come out for activities at night. It only started to rise in the Song Dynasty. Because it is an overhead article, the restrictive factors such as time and place are ignored. I hope you will forgive me.
