The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Lin Hai Baozi, who returned triumphantly from the Jiang family, started his day-to-day study career again!

What makes Lin Hai sigh again is: Ancient times are not good. Reading a book, except for big festivals such as New Year’s Eve, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no one-day holiday. In modern times, at least there are Saturdays and Sundays to rest.

Sure enough, there is a sense of happiness when there is a comparison.

The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional Chinese festival - the Dragon Boat Festival.

The day before, when get out of class was over, Master Yan gave Lin Hai a holiday.

For this day, the Jiang family has been busy for the first few days, preparing wormwood, preparing raw materials for making rice dumplings, preparing clothes for traveling to Fuhai to watch the dragon boat race...

Although I know that the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, in modern times, apart from the occasional dragon boat rowing competition held by the government with some conditions, other families just eat two rice dumplings and get away with it.

The zongzi made by Jiang’s commander has many kinds of stuffing: red bean, bacon, jujube, abalone, longan, lotus seed, lotus seed paste, eight treasures, fruit...

Relying on his small size, Lin Hai was cute and coquettish, so he was lucky enough to eat the first pot of freshly baked zongzi.The salty bacon, Lin Hai likes it very much; the eight treasures are very fragrant, which arouses Lin Hai's appetite; the sweet fruit is just the taste that children like; the abalone has a fishy smell, and Lin Hai doesn't want it after tasting it Yes, it is said that this is the favorite taste of Mrs. Lin Yang's sister-in-law, who is still alive.Of course, the other flavors are also very good, all prepared by the chef.

In ancient times, making zongzi was not only eaten by oneself, but also given away.Needless to say, in-laws, aristocratic families are also necessary, and the colleagues, teachers, friends, and the same year of Master Lin in the court also have to send people to send them one by one.In addition, some royal relatives and relatives with good friendship, and some upstarts in the officialdom will also send someone to send a copy to them.

So Lin Hai stared dumbfounded at Jiang's having someone carry a hundred catties of glutinous rice to make zongzi. Except for what he kept for himself and what was rewarded to his servants, everything else was used as gifts.

This also reflects from the side, the connections of the Lin family.Others just want to give away, but they can't give away so much!

After waiting for a few more pots to be prepared, the Jiang family sent people to start giving gifts!Of course, not long after, women from other families also came to the Lin family to deliver zongzi.

Lin Hai waited for the mother-in-law who delivered the zongzi to leave, then curiously opened the food box, and there were ten zongzi, not too big or too small, symbolizing perfection.But this kind of zongzi sent by others cannot be eaten now, because it is impolite.

After observing and making zongzi, what follows is one of the traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival - taking a wormwood bath.

While washing, Lin Hai said with emotion: The ancients really had a soft spot for wormwood. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, people would smoke the house with lighted wormwood, take a wormwood bath, and hang wormwood on the door. .In addition, the mistress of the family has to tie the wormwood with silk thread into a doll by herself and give it to her male elders and peers.

But thinking that he would be able to see the most authentic dragon boat race soon, Lin Hai endured it and let Zhirui and Qingmei help him clean up.

On May [-]th, the sky was clear, the most favorable location on the Fuhai Sea, the emperor and imperial concubine were honored, and the dragon table, chairs, melons, fruits and snacks were all prepared under the colorful shed. All the concubines from the fourth rank and above were able to come out to watch this year's dragon boat race .

Today, Emperor Yikang is the second emperor of the founding of the country. He has not had the luxury habits of the emperors in the middle and later periods of the dynasty. Except for the New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival, which must be held every year, other festivals depend on Emperor Yikang’s mood and the time. The stability of the government has improved!

Counting this time, Emperor Yikang has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and the Dragon Boat Festival has only been held four times. The last time was five years ago, and it was the first time for many little buns to see such a grand Dragon Boat Festival, including Lin Hai.

On the side of Fuhai, the royal family and nobles are lined up one by one, and the bureaucrats are seated according to rank. According to the official position of Master Lin, the position of the Lin family is not very good, but fortunately, the Yang family and the Jiang family are connected. Together, it is more than enough to insert three Lin family members in.Therefore, Lin Hai saw that the position of the dragon boat race was not bad.

More than [-] slender dragon boats with different colors and high dragon heads went through several knockout rounds, and finally decided the top three.

The rowers are all young people between the ages of 16 and 26 in the capital. The sweat soaring and roaring while rowing, accompanied by the loud drums and gongs, really makes the viewers can't help but roar with excitement. stop.

Sitting next to Jiang Yu, Lin Hai was amazed and fond of the majestic momentum of the dragon boats vying to float on the water and cut the waves until they reached the flag. Jiang Yu talked about which dragon boat was the most beautiful and which one was the loudest.

Soon, several little buns of the same age from the Yang family also joined in. The adults watched the several little buns get together, and were afraid that the children would not know the severity and cause something to happen.So let the Jiang family's eldest grandson Lin Hai's eldest cousin Jiang Yu and the Yang family's second grandson Yang Ming look at these little buns.

Obviously, the Yang family and the Jiang family were well prepared for this, because there were two children on the opposite side just now, who fell down, but luckily they were rescued soon!There were no casualties.

After waiting to determine the top three in the dragon boat race, the drama is over!Lin Hai was eating zongzi while waiting for the next drama.

Jiang? is indeed the eldest grandson of the Jiang family. He has the demeanor of a big brother, and even stole a pot of realgar wine for Lin Hai and the others.Children are not allowed to drink alcohol until they are ten years old, so a group of little buns are very excited, and they are obediently silent, waiting for Jiang? to share the wine with them.Of course, Jiang Chen just asked these little brothers to drink more. If he got drunk, he would die. Everyone only had a little bit, but everyone was still very excited.All of a sudden, the friendship between the three Yangjianglin families was brought closer by a pot of realgar wine!

Lin Hai also took a sip, but it turned out that he might as well not have tasted it!

It wasn't that the realgar wine that Jiang Yue brought was not good, but that it was so delicious that it hooked up the wine worms in Lin Hai's stomach!Lin Hai squinted his eyes half-closed his eyes while reminiscing about the celestial wine he had just drank, wondering in his heart if he had to think of a way to get some wine to satisfy his cravings!

Before Lin Hai could come up with a good solution, suddenly there was an exclamation from a distance, "Guard, hurry up..."

I was stunned for a while, and someone immediately reacted!The servants of the Yang family, Jiang family and Lin family immediately stepped forward to protect the masters and masters.Lin Hai followed a group of little buns and hid behind the adults. On the surface, he didn't panic at all, but he couldn't stop complaining in his heart: Can you stop being so bloody!The scene of the emperor going on tour and being assassinated by a horse is the third chapter!

(ps: Lanlan is from Chongqing. There are three old dishes in Chongqing: twice-cooked pork, braised pork, and roasted white. You can try it. It tastes good.

Another: kneeling begging to push the deposit ticket)
