[Three Kingdoms] Jingyunshang

Qinxin Pavilion, Wuhou Mansion, Wujun County, on the [-]th night of the eighth lunar month

All kinds of lanterns and colorful knots are posted all over the Hou Mansion, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.Seeing the busy servants and maids coming and going, Li Jing felt emotional for a while.As for the sacrifice to the moon, Sun Shangxiang only told the specifics a few days ago what was going on.It turns out that worshiping the moon is one of the most important sacrifices to the moon since the ancients. As far back as the Zhou Dynasty, emperors had the vernal equinox to worship the sun, the summer solstice to worship the earth, the autumnal equinox to worship the moon, and the winter solstice to worship the sky.

"Book of Rites" once recorded: Son of Heaven spring Asahi, Qiuxi month.The morning and the sun are in the morning, and the evening and the moon are in the evening.Because the moon was regarded as yin by the ancients, the chief priest must be an older woman, and men can only be deacons. The month of worship is divided into one chief priest, one praise, and one deacon, and everyone else is Congji (men do not worship the moon) .

Li Jing didn't know much about offering sacrifices to the moon. When she heard that Sun Shangxiang helped get a place for Cong Ji, Li Jing couldn't laugh or cry.When Li Jing originally wanted to push it down, Sun Shangxiang thought it was very fun. She thought that Cong Ji was very simple, as long as she followed her to do it. I promised her!Li Jing felt a little regretful.

The bright moon climbed to the top, as bright as snow, and the gentle breeze brushed the face slightly, which was cool and pleasant.The moon worshipers all came over one after another, among them Steward Chen was the chief priest, Zhou Yu was the deacon, the rest of the maids included Sun Shangxiang, Li Jing herself was Cong Ji, Steward Chen still looked arrogant, Zhou Yu didn't change his true colors, The brilliance is still shining under the moonlight, but Sun Quan is dressed in a very luxurious dress.

The moon sacrifice ceremony began soon. Steward Chen arranged the fruits for sacrifice, lit red candles, and laid out the sacrifice mat. Li Jing and Cong Ji were asked to go to the sacrifice mat. Zhou Yu sang "Moon Sacrifice", and Steward Chen knelt down on the mat. , Then Steward Chen offered incense and made a toast. Zhou Yu presented the wish to Steward Chen. Steward Chen sang loudly: Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon god is as above, my people, worship and pray for blessings.The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the radiance is beautiful, the light has been shining for thousands of years, and we have shared it through the ages. Bless me in Jiangdong, the weather is smooth, and I pray piously, but I still enjoy it.After reading, Steward Chen burned the Zhu Wen and the moonlight paper, and then knelt down to the moon.

"Sister Jing, it will be our turn later. Last year, after Steward Chen knelt down and worshiped, I also offered incense and prayed for my wish. Sun Shangxiang was as excited as a child.

After Chen Steward knelt down and worshiped, he retreated to the side of the sacrificial banquet. Li Jing saw several worshipers who were older than herself, and silently remembered what to do, but who knew, when Li Jing was passing by Chen Steward, she was ready to sacrifice. During the salutation, a long foot stretched out in front of Li Jing.

"Bang" Li Jing staggered and fell beside the sacrificial table, and the sacrificial fruit rolled to the ground. When Li Jing got up to look at it, Chen Butler looked complacent, and Li Jing couldn't help feeling angry.There were whispers from below.

"Look, this one seems to be the new female officer, she's a messy girl, she doesn't look like a lady!"

"This is blasphemy against Lord Moon God, and should be severely punished."

"Master Luna won't bless us anymore, it's all caused by this bitch."

At this moment, Sun Quan's face turned blue and green, very ugly, he went straight to Li Jing, and shouted loudly: "What's the matter with you, the new female official?"Nothing reassures a certain family.How can you bless me Jiangdong if you blaspheme the gods. "

Li Jing was full of anger and grievance, but just now no one saw that it was Steward Chen who tripped her.For a moment, Li Jing's eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Master, I...I really didn't mean it."

Sun Shangxiang could see clearly from behind just now, seeing Li Jing being angry, Sun Shangxiang was furious, and immediately rushed forward and said: "I saw very clearly just now, it was Steward Chen who stretched his legs and tripped Sister Jing."

"Princess, I am wronged, I have never done such a thing." Chen Butler defended.

"Really? Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Sun Shangxiang looked directly at Chen Butler, and his eyes pierced into Chen Butler's heart like a sharp knife.

"No...no, my lord, I...really...not?" Chen Butler said slowly.

"Okay, Shang Xiang, don't mess around here, I have my own measure." Sun Quan scolded Sun Shangxiang.

"Second brother, you...huh, so right and wrong, how can you compare with your father and elder brother who passed away, and protect me Jiangdong." Sun Shangxiang did not give in.

For Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan has always been a bit inferior in his heart. Sun Jian, the former Jiangdong tiger, became famous all over the world when he attacked Dong Zhuo, and his elder brother Sun Ce was also the founder of the pacification of Jiangdong. If his elder brother was not assassinated, perhaps, now The position of the Lord of Jiangdong is simply not his turn. It was even rumored that his third brother Sun Yi would succeed him as the Lord of Jiangdong. Therefore, at the beginning of his ascension, he immediately led the army to quell the rebellion of Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang after his brother died. Tu Qicheng, let those who have objections see that Sun Zhongmou is no worse than his father and brother.When he heard Shang Xiang comparing himself with his father and brother, Sun Quan said angrily: "Shang Xiang, shut up, I can see clearly what is right and what is wrong, and there is no need for you to teach my second brother how to do it."

Zhou Yu on the side didn't see Steward Chen making a trip, but only saw Sun Quan who was furious, and said immediately: "My lord, calm down, Shang Xiang is still young, so it is inevitable that she is a little nonsense. Besides, Miss Li is also participating in this event for the first time. There are a lot of rules that I don’t know about offering sacrifices to the moon, and I hope the lord will punish me lightly.”

Seeing Zhou Yu's intercession, Sun Quan felt a little more at ease. Sun Quan has always felt that Zhou Yu is his elder brother's sworn brother. From the bottom of his heart, he treats his eldest brother Sun Ce slightly worse than himself. Commanding the army, he didn't treat himself like he did to his eldest brother, and today he wanted to frustrate his spirit.

"Since it's Gongjin's intercession, then Ms. Li, you can apologize to Butler Chen, and this matter will be over." The tone seemed to be unresistable.

Zhou Yu sent a wink to Li Jing, indicating that Li Jing apologized to Steward Chen, but she could only swallow the grievances in her stomach, and Li Jing felt sore.

"Chen Butler, I'm sorry, Jing was negligent for a while, but I still hope you will forgive me." Chen Butler's face was full of arrogance, as if he was demonstrating: the little girl's film is against the old man, and she doesn't weigh herself.Like a chameleon, Steward Chen quickly changed his face and said, "Miss Li, I am fine, but you must be careful next time. If you insult Lord Moon God, there will be serious consequences."

Sun Shangxiang at the side couldn't stand it any longer, and said loudly: Steward Chen, a slave of your family, how dare you be too presumptuous? "After speaking, he raised his hands and prepared to call Steward Chen.

"Come here, take the princess down, don't continue messing around here." Sun Quan grabbed Sun Shangxiang's hand and shouted.

"No..." Two Kong Wu powerful sergeants took Sun Shangxiang down.

"Chen Steward, please remember this princess, I will definitely settle the score with you." Sun Shangxiang's unwilling voice wafted in the air.

Soon, after Li Jing finished apologizing, the moon sacrifice ceremony soon ended, and Sun Quan, Chen Steward and a group of Cong Ji personnel left Qinxin Pavilion one after another.Only Li Jing was left, Zhou Yu and a woman in white from Cong Ji hadn't left yet.
