A few months later, the annual Ghost Festival came. Thousands of households outside Chang'an City hung lanterns, prepared offerings for worshiping the moon, and the whole family gathered together; they enjoyed the prepared cakes together.

And Pancake. Looking forward to one of the few outing nights a year when the curfew is open.

In the Great Outer Palace, there are regular and grand "Moon Sacrifice Ceremonies". Because "Book of Rites: Sacrifice to the Righteousness" records: "The moon comes out of the east, the moon comes out of the west, the length of yin and yang, the beginning and end of the phase."

Patrolling until there is harmony between the sky and the east." Worshiping and offering sacrifices to the moon represent the beautiful vision of harmony between yin and yang and mutual support.

Therefore, the royal family of all dynasties would hold a moon-sacrifice ceremony at the Taiyin Altar in the palace, and the queen would lead the concubines to recite the moon-sacrifice blessings. After the ceremony, a grand banquet would be held in the palace, and officials would be rewarded with gifts, including imitations of the moon wheel.

Made of dough cakes, flower cakes, sachets, towels, etc.

And Mingzheng was the powerful and illustrious middle palace man in the tenth year of the Second Saint's visit; it was also the tenth year that all the officials were executed and only the orphans and widows were left to join Ye Ting.

It also happened to be the time when the imperial court was changing the title of Yuan and Zai, so it was also very meaningful to organize it;

Although it is not like Chang'an City outside, the curfew is open and the soldiers and the common people are having fun in the streets, admiring lanterns and catching riddles; but there are also flowers and trees outside the palace, and the east corridor of the palace is covered with all kinds of decorations from the palace.

The lanterns organized by the bureau; and the night outside the imperial city shines brightly for a while.

As palace servants, female officials and foreign wives, the sinful family members stayed outside the Yeting Palace to some extent. After going through several red moon preparations, they could also take a break.

, carry out some Mid-Autumn Festival related activities outside the designated area.

At that time, the convicts and convicts in the south lane of Tingye Palace would also go out in groups to admire the moon; and give each other small gifts made by their private owners, such as embroidered handkerchiefs and leg scarves.

, round fans and small bags decorated with dazzling flower petals and beans, to pray for blessings and wishes to relatives.

But fortunately or unfortunately, the few people outside Madam Zheng were summoned by the Shangshi Bureau to the Linde Hall where the Zhongyuan Banquet was held to help serve the scene.

A large number of foreign women came into the palace, so their legs were crooked.

This mistake is undoubtedly a good thing for Mrs. Zheng; as long as there is no mistake, she will naturally be continued to be assigned by the Shangshi Bureau, which will improve her status in the Yeting Palace in disguise. But it is not unfortunate.

But during that festive period, she had to leave her daughter and let her spend the festival alone.

In other words, after being imprisoned in the palace for so many years, it is impossible to survive like this. Whenever Mrs. Zheng is called to serve outside, Wan'er can study alone at home. But fortunately, there is a magical raccoon.

The slave is accompanying her, which also prevents Madam Zheng from feeling completely at ease.

Therefore, after being temporarily separated from her mother's supervision and care, Wan'er also rarely indulged in something secretly. One person and one cat came to the highest point of the roof, and after laying an old cloth barrier, they could lie down and enjoy it.

Clean, and then look at the clear night sky where the clouds and the moon are parting.

The huge moonlight is like water, shining on the streets and alleys in the Yeting Palace where the lights are dotted and the voices of people are heard; but there is a vitality and vitality that is hard to see in the moon in the past. It also diffuses the long-term gloomy atmosphere in many streets and alleys.

A lot of the bleakness and depression in the east of the rising sun and declining sun have been dispelled.

Jiang Tian even saw that there were many people wearing men's clothes and walking arm-in-arm with their female companions on the street; some people were having sex, and they were extremely intimate; there were also people who took advantage of the small night market that was open that night; and drank themselves with cheap drinks

He got very drunk; then he leaned on the street and cried.

But if there are more people, they are carrying homemade lanterns, or holding crude candles or oil lamps; they silently join the procession on the streets of Nanxiang, chanting in low voices as they pass by.

.And standing at the head of the team was a woman in a red shirt with disheveled hair, holding a painted flag.

In front of the long banner, there is a portrait of the Moonlight Bodhisattva with a colorful crown and necklace, open chest and arms, and a solemn smile. This is also one of the three sages of the Oriental Glazed World worshiped by people at that time.

One of the assistants to the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, the Taiyin protector who protects women and children and succumbs to timid illness.

It is said that its transformation into the moon of Tao will be the Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Therefore, Jiang Tian could easily hear the faint singing voice coming from the wind: "The clouds have dispersed and the sky is clear. Only the beautiful lady is exposed."

The pure and flawless body is self-rounded. It does not move through the sky. It illuminates boundlessly. Its blessings spread throughout the world."

Well, for a girl who is rarely in a high position, her main attention at this moment is focused on the food placed around her. On a large placemat, there are paper bags

Tiger skin meat, shrimp cake, red crab, rouge roasted; there is a small bottle of light wine Yuluchun;

And all of that is also one of the results of Jiang Tian's continuous patrol and exploration outside Tingye Palace during those nights. After all, as the outer area of ​​the imperial city, the scope of Taiji Palace is really too large; it is located on the west side

The Yeting Palace occupies a very small part of it, and Jiangtian can only explore a small part.

But just the small area around it is enough for Jiang Tian to open his eyes and gain a lot. There are warehouses that store various rice noodles, silk cloth, tea, wine, ointment, soy and vinegar and other daily necessities, as well as other materials piled up.

, or various workshops and workshops dedicated to serving nobles outside the palace;

Due to Dangdong's cat form, Jiang Tian couldn't take more things in secret, so he could just let the girl eat occasionally. Otherwise, a big burden floating in the void at night would be too scary.

It can easily cause more trouble, alarm and unnecessary disturbance.

"I'm too thin and underweight, and I'm quite anemic. Please eat more nutritious foods so that I can slowly make up for it." Jiang Tian said with a hint of disgust on his cat face: "Otherwise, I won't even be able to study in the morning.

My spirit is not good, let alone my physical development and growth, so I have to eat extra meals."

"Don't worry, if he had gotten them from the outside dining room of the Shangshi Bureau, he would have taken a little of each kind into the prepared utensils, so he wouldn't have weighed them carefully; otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the missing portion. The fact is

Even if you discover it, do you dare to pursue it in a big way? It will really kill people."

"Rusty spots, ah no...Mr. Li, why did people die?" Wan'er, with her mouth full of food and her cheeks as bulging as a hamster, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows like a moon and asked: "Is the raccoon a little bit damaged? Is it possible?

There is no way to make up for it afterwards or forgive it."

"I think those people who work in the external dining room may not necessarily have clean legs and feet in normal times?" Jiang Tian asked rhetorically: "In other words, the subordinates of the 24th and 24th bureaus of the fifth bureau outside the palace, even outside the Yeting palace,

Wherever there is profit and success, how many people are not honest and selfless, and do not seek profit?"

"The Shangshanfang and the external dining room are exclusively for the concubine's banquet. In fact, the usual amount of ingredients is there, so there is extra room for storage and use. Compared with the loss of the meager value, once the many wastes are traced, it will be even more

Someone needs to be responsible for it, and then it becomes a human game of choice.”

"Have I read Shuo Shu?" Jiang Tian asked again: "Then I should also know. Qin Prime Minister Li Si's "Shuo Shu Lun": As a county official, I saw that the rats in the official's toilet were not enough to eat, and they were close to human dogs.

, I was terrified. When I entered the barn, I saw the rats in the barn, eating and accumulating millet. They lived in the east of the large veranda, and saw no worries about humans or dogs..."

"Of course he doesn't encourage me to be like a rat, occupying the heights of the temple and occupying the right place; but he hopes that if I have the opportunity to meet him in the next month, I will be able to calmly deal with mistakes and even seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; or even easily refuse to do so.

It’s good to play with this generation in the palm of your hand and use it as a stepping stone to move forward.”

"If you want to avoid that ending in the future, study hard and master more knowledge and experience of the predecessors." Jiang Tian gently swung his tail and said: "The power and burden obtained by relying on them can naturally be taken away easily; only

If I have something I can master, it may last a lifetime."

"No matter in the future or now, he doesn't want me to develop the habit of relying on them; even if he doesn't, he doesn't want me to. If I choose to forget the forgiveness and reconciliation of the past, then he will bless me to walk on a smooth road.

.At least the future power will be prominent and there will be no worries."

"Just pay attention to avoiding a few key points, so that you can avoid getting too involved in power disputes, and even make arrangements in advance to connect with certain key people; and gain a glimmer of hope for yourself in the next month. Just ask everyone with enough weight to contribute.

I beg you, even the new master won’t be too insistent.”

"But if I initially choose the more difficult and bumpy road of revenge, I will need to use my own strength to achieve it; I will need to obtain more power and resources, and set a small goal in a big way; for example, from the time of liquidation, I will

Started by falsely accusing our minister Xu Jingzong and others."

"Of course, the ugly words are ahead. Even if I fail initially, he will never rush to the Tai Chi Hall for me and face the two saints. He will still respect my choice, and then as a

The secret spectators and witnesses carefully recorded the first scene of Dong Na."

As he spoke slowly, Jiang Tian stared at his vision panel with floating eyes; the reminder that was called out was displayed: "Mission Scenario Progress: Qiqilu in Another World/Luanyun Guhong (3%)". His thoughts were not there.

Temporarily released to fly back to a few days ago, it is probably not long before Madam Zheng returns.

"I don't know, Mr. Li Nu, I can call you anything." Then, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Zheng holding a piece of bacon tied with a straw rope on her leg, and she saluted solemnly without thinking of herself: "He wants Wan'er to bow to you.

Sir, I am a teacher. I have accepted the teachings in a righteous name, and I have prepared some preparations for practice. I hope you will not give up."

It wasn't until that moment that Jiang Tian got the belated reminder that "the time and space anchor was successfully locked." In other words, as a mother, Mrs. Zheng's corresponding vigilance and natural alertness were so profound that Jiang Tianyong

After several days of instruction, she finally felt at ease.

In the past, the mission scene (Qilu in Another World/Luan Yun Guhong) was opened on the Ghost Festival, which made people a little confused or confused.

When he arrived, the girl who was lying beside him and slowly digesting his food suddenly stood up and said:
Chapter completed!
