Song Fujian Road Quanzhou August 15th

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, shops in the street market start selling newly brewed wine and decorated the storefront with colored cloth. On the market, seafood such as crabs and multiple varieties of fruits are on the market for people to celebrate the festival. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, shops in the street can’t buy wine. In the evening, the family of Fushidajia built terraces for the moon-watching viewing at their homes, while ordinary families competed to book seats in various restaurants, invite relatives and friends, and enjoy the moon while drinking. Children in the neighborhood also made an appointment to play. Various celebrations continued until the next morning.

The Chen family, a wealthy family in Quanzhou, built a three-story pavilion at home, placed a banquet, and invited relatives, friends and family in Quanzhou to have a banquet at home.

Another guest made Chen Yide dare not neglect, that is, Li Dejun, the richest man in Quanzhou and the "leader" of Quanzhou Commercial Bank.

At this time, Li Mao, the son of Li Dejun, had already engaged to Chen and was a relative of his children. Therefore, the car of Li Dejun and his son arrived at the door of Chen Yide's house. The two brothers Chen Yide and Chen Yixin personally welcomed them out of the house.

"Oh, how can Mr. Li be so good? I dare to send Mr. Chen to welcome him personally. Li is so frightened!" After Li Dejun and his son Li Maocai got out of the car, they saw that the Chen Yide brothers were greeted outside, so they got off the car and saluted repeatedly.

Li Maocai, the son of Li Dejun, was engaged to Chen Yide's brothers and Chen Yixin's daughter.

"Haha!" Chen Yide smiled and said, "Li Xingshou is here, and my Chen family is full of glory."

"What my elder brother said is that my in-laws are visiting the humble house in a busy life. I am very honored!" Chen Yixin said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Li Dejun smiled and said, "Li was disturbed today. Li wished Mr. Chen that his in-laws will be blessed with the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Haha, Chen also wishes Mr. Li the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his wishes come true and his fortune will be fulfilled, and his wealth will be endless!" Chen Yide hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"Maoer, why don't you come to pay homage to the two elders?" Li Dejun then turned to his son Li Mao and said.

"Dad, Sister Ting is still in the car." Li Mao replied.

After Li Dejun and his son drove to Chen's house, Li Mao kept guarding by the car and refused to leave. It seemed that there were distinguished guests in the car. Even Li Dejun and other female relatives got off the car, but Li Mao was still the same.

"Why are you so ungrateful?" Li Dejun said with a deep face.

Li Mao turned around three times after hearing this, and walked slowly to Chen Yide and the brothers Chen Yixin paid a visit.

"In-law, who is the person in the car?" Chen Yide of course saw the clues, so he asked differently.

"Oh... it's a nephew of Li... the niece..." Li Dejun replied after pondering for a moment.

"Maoer, go and ask your sister to get off the car." Then Li Dejun ordered Li Mao.

Li Mao turned around and ran towards the carriage when he heard this. The speed of going was obviously much faster than when he came...

Isn't it just a niece? Or a nephew... As for such a mysterious secret? Chen Yide and Chen Yixin were secretly puzzled in their hearts.

After a moment, a girl wearing an apricot yellow silk skirt came out of her bicycle and walked up to Chen Yide gracefully. Chen Yixin smiled slightly, and said blessedly: "Little woman Xu, pays homage to two marriage uncles, and marriage bosses are all blessed with Jin'an!"

The girl has a very beautiful appearance, as if she is as dizzy as a pearl, her beautiful jade is shining, her face is full of goose fat, her lips are like cherry blossoms, her skin is as beautiful as snow, and her spirit is as autumn water.

As he talks, he smiles gracefully and has beautiful eyes, and looks extremely generous. As he speaks, his white teeth as white as jade and as weave shells are revealed, and he is suspected to be the daughter of a wealthy family.

At the same time, there was a hint of sorrow in my eyes, which made people feel the urge to hug her into my arms and feel pity and care...

Since the girl got off the car, Li Mao, the son of Li Dejun, ignored Li's girl and looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that others would take a few more glances, which made Li Dejun and Chen Yixin look a little ugly.

Li Mao was so concerned about a beautiful woman for Chen Yixin’s future son-in-law. How could he bear it?

The girl Xu is Li Dejun's niece, so she has a relationship with Li Mao, and her cousin can get married.

In front of the future father-in-law and please other women, what other good looks can the father-in-law have?

However, the Li and Chen families are close friends, so they do not look at monks and Buddha faces. Although the Chen brothers were a little dissatisfied, they still politely welcomed Li Dejun and his family into the house.

"In-law!" Li Dejun looked around while walking and asked, "It seems that there is still one distinguished guest in your mansion today?"

"Oh? You mean..." Chen Yide asked in confusion when he heard this.

Chen treats a guest, and who does he still need to worry about? Looking at this, Li Dejun seems to be coming to this distinguished guest?

"Haha" Li Dejun smiled and said, "When Li heard that the mansion was close to the new Quanzhou magistrate Li, so why wouldn't he invite Li today?"

The girl Xu, who was following the Chen family and preparing to go to the inner house, stopped and listened to the conversation between Li Dejun and others after hearing the three words "Premier Li".

"Prince Li has been working hard for the past few days, so where can he have time to come to be despised?" Chen Yide smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Speaking of Li Sanjian, Chen Yide felt extremely depressed. The huge amount of money and grain that the Chen family lent to Li Sanjian and the Quanzhou government was almost like meat buns to beat dogs. It was like Jing Ke going to fight with the King of Qin, and it was gone forever.

The reason is that Li Sanjian used the money he borrowed and the grain he borrowed did not use it for the right journey.

Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, actually did this in a rebellious manner, competing with the people for profit, and using the money he borrowed to buy food on a large scale regardless of the price.

Hoarding? Hoarding is not such a hoarding method. Chen Yide and others have been doing business for many years, so how can they not understand the hoarding?

Regardless of whether the Quanzhou government can make a profit by purchasing grain on a large scale, Li Sanjian's rebellious actions have aroused public anger. There has been a robbery of rice shops, and the whole of Quanzhou is full of complaints. So how long can Li Sanjian be the official?

Once Li Sanjian is dismissed for crimes, who will care about your ex's mess? Chen Yide thought with concern for his concern.

Fortunately, my daughter did not give it to Li Sanjian, otherwise she would have really lost her wife and soldiers... Chen Yide thought of it with gratitude.

The Chen family invited Li Sanjian, how dare the Chen family not invite the emperor of Quanzhou? But the problem is that Li Sanjian has not arrived yet and no one has come to pass the message.

When the girl surnamed Xu heard that Li Sanjian was coming to Chen's house in the future, she suddenly showed disappointment on her face.

......

"The autumn wind is so scattered, and the flowers bloom and fall. You and I are displaced in this life, but I cannot escape loneliness. I am willing to exchange the fireworks of three lives for your life. If you depend on each other in this life, you will never give up. However, the stream flows deep, and the shackles of the sheng. The fallen leaves dance, the sky is full of sorrow, the willows droop, and the love is drooping for a lifetime."

There is an extremely spacious courtyard in the back house of Chen, which can accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, several bonfires were lit in the courtyard. Dozens of young men and women near the bonfire were holding hands, stepping on the beats, singing beautiful love songs.

This is the so-called singing, which is a favorite entertainment activity by the Song people during the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially in the south.

Participants formed a circle or arranged in rows, holding hands or placing shoulders with each other. There were not many movements on their upper body, mainly the dance steps under their feet, the rhythm changes, and singing and dancing.

On Mid-Autumn night, singing and watching the moon is a unique flavor.

From now on, the wind blows the fragrance and chases people back!

Before the great rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Song-Zhu inherited the Tang style, and the folk customs were relatively developed, especially in Fujian.

Fujian Road is a place where Han and Yi live together, and there are many ethnic groups. Therefore, the Han people who have lived here for a long time also retain some customs and traditions of various ethnic groups.

For example, on the Mid-Autumn night, sing and enjoying the moon, and on the bonfire, expressing love to the people in your dreams with singing.

At this time, dozens of young men and women in the backyard of Chen family were singing and watching the moon, who were from the Chen clan. The rest were the families of the guests invited to Chen's house, basically young men and girls, and some married young women.

Everyone sang and danced, singing and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"The groom is here, the groom is here!"

"Oh, I haven't gotten married yet, so I'm not the groom."

"I've been engaged, and I'll become my Chen family's son-in-law soon."

"Who is the woman next to the groom?"

"Yes, who is she?"

When Li Mao, the son of Li Dejun, accompanied the girl surnamed Xu to the backyard of Chen, it immediately aroused everyone's surprise, and they whispered and talked a lot.

Li Mao's family is the richest man in Quanzhou. Li Mao also got engaged to Chen Yixin's daughter and was the son-in-law of Chen. Li Mao was also quite handsome. In addition to being a little weak, his appearance should be considered outstanding.

This is the first time that people from the Chen clan saw Li Mao, of course they were curious. What is even more surprising is that a girl next to Chen Mao was astonishing as she was. Everyone was shocked and speculated about the identity of the girl.

Many young men from the Chen clan have begun to think about how to marry this beautiful girl...

"Groom, come, come!" After seeing Chen Mao and the girl surnamed Xu, many people from the Chen clan waved enthusiastically, hoping that Chen Mao and the girl surnamed Xu would hold hands and sing and enjoy the moon.

"Sister Ting, look...this..." Chen Mao turned his head to look at the girl surnamed Xu and asked for her meaning.

"I...I...I won't jump...Brother, you'd better go..." The girl surnamed Xu shook her head and refused.

Of course, the girl surnamed Xu has seen singing and watching the moon, but she really hasn't skipped it.

The most important thing is that the girl surnamed Xu is filled with bitterness and disappointment at this time. How can she still have the mood to sing on the song and enjoy the moon?
