The night on August 15th of the Tang Dynasty time and space is much more beautiful than modern time and space.
The sunny weather makes the full moon like a silver plate hang in the air, and the night wind blows gently, because the small "tail" left by summer is not cold at all, but instead gives people a feeling of "I want to ride the wind and go back".
The elegant things like watching the moon are naturally impossible to be limited to eating and drinking. In addition, there are two beautiful and lovely girls around you, so Li Anran is naturally in a very excited mood.
"Young master, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's tell a story about the moon." After drinking a few cups of grapes, a tempting and bright red Su Xiaomei had already appeared on her face, and she smiled charmingly with her eyes.
"A story related to the moon?" Li Anran, who enjoyed a pair of tender hands gently massaged his shoulders, was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll just call a story about Chang'e flying to the moon."
"In ancient times, ten days appeared in the sky at the same time, and the crops died and the people lived in poverty. A hero named Houyi was extremely powerful. He sympathized with the suffering people, pulled out the divine bow, shot down more than nine suns in one go, and ordered the last sun to rise and set on time to benefit the people."
"Houyi's wife is Chang'e. In addition to passing on her skills and hunting, Houyi was with her wife all day long. Many patriots came to learn from her masters, and Peng Meng, who had a bad mind, also got in. One day, Houyi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and asked the Queen Mother for a pack of immortal medicine. It is said that after taking this medicine, he could immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal."
"However, Houyi was reluctant to leave his wife and temporarily handed the immortal medicine to Chang'e for collection. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dressing table. Three days later, Houyi led his disciples to go out hunting. Peng Meng, who had a ulterior motive, pretended to be sick and did not go out. Shortly after Houyi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword and forced Chang'e to hand over the immortal medicine."
"Chang'e knew that she was not Peng Meng's opponent. When she was in danger, she turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the elixir of immortality and swallowed it. Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew towards the sky. Because Chang'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the moon closest to the world and became an immortal."
In Li Anran's opinion, this kind of mythological story that has been circulated in later generations is really meaningless. But I didn't expect that for the Tang Dynasty, this kind of story with mythological color and a bit of sadness is very popular, at least for women like Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun.
As he spoke, Li Anran found that hazy tears had appeared in the eyes of the girl who was snuggling on both sides of her body. She had originally planned to keep her appetite closed, but her plan to swell her appetite was immediately thrown behind her, and she quickly told the happy ending that was later:
"Ahem... When it was evening, after Houyi returned home, the maids cried and told about what happened during the day. Houyi was both shocked and angry. He drew his sword to kill the evildoers. Peng Meng had already escaped. Houyi was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and was heartbroken. He looked up at the night sky and called Chang'e. At this time, he found that the moon today was particularly bright and bright, and there was a shaking figure that looked like Chang'e."
"Houyi missed his wife. He sent someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, put in incense tables, put in the honey and fresh fruits that Chang'e usually likes to eat, and worship Chang'e in the Moon Palace. After hearing the news that Chang'e had fleeing to the moon and became an immortal, the people set up incense tables under the moon to pray for good luck and peace to the kind Chang'e. It is said that every full moon on August 15th, it is the day when Chang'e and Houyi reunite. From then on, the custom of worshiping the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people."
In fact, long before telling the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, Li Anran had thought of telling another version of Chang'e stealing the immortal medicine. However, considering that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a happy moment, he did not do such a big shame. Although the ending of this version is not very perfect, no matter in ancient times or modern times, the more imperfect the ending, the more people can feel the same and emotion.
Even Li Anran, who was dissatisfied with it, couldn't help but sigh for the infatuated man and woman in this version of Chang'e's flying to the moon, let alone Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun. After listening to the story, these two girls were already tearful.
"Young Master, Chang'e and Houyi are so pitiful." Su Xiaomei, who sobbed gently, pouted and said.
"Yes, young master, telling a story makes us sad. No, we must change to a happy story." Xiangyun, who was standing beside him, also had red eyes, shaking someone's arm without hesitation while wiping his eyes.
There are actually not many stories about Mid-Autumn Festival, but most of them are more sad. Either they are just like the version of Chang'e flying to the moon. In a short while, Li Anran can find it wherever he can match the meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and it is also a story of the great perfect ending. Finally, he could only turn his eyes and smile and said, "Xiao Mei, Xiangyun, I won't tell the story anymore. Or I'll recite a poem."
"Social?" Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who looked at each other for a moment, lit their little heads at the same time and said, "Okay, okay, young master, chant quickly!"
After spending time together, in addition to the magical magic weapon that can impart knowledge, Li Anran occasionally showed off his writings and recited a few poems that suit the situation to draw the favorability of girls. Of course, these poems basically come from "Three Hundred Tang Poems". It's just that someone is thick-skinned enough to have no sense of shame as a thief in the literary world, and he is so at ease.
"Uh..." Feeling the tempting charm revealed in the expressions of the two girls with some pear blossoms and rain, Li Anran is not thinking about reciting poems, but about "reciting" people. Unfortunately, no matter how much he said, he is still an expert, so he naturally cannot be so impatient. So he forced Qi Nian in his heart to stand up, picked up a glass of grape wine, walked forward, looked at the bright moon, and after brewing emotions, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said:
When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with wine.
I don’t know what year it will be today in the palace in the sky.
I wanted to ride the wind, but I was afraid that the jade building and jade buildings would be colder at high places.
How come you dance and play with the clear shadows?
Turning around the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful house, shining without sleep.
There should be no hatred, so why does it take forever to be farewell?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to complete in ancient times.
I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles apart.
...
Just after Li Anran felt that after he recited the song "Shuitu Songtou" just now, he was shocked to find that the expected applause did not sound.
When I turned my head and saw that Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun were suddenly flashing with big watery eyes, looking at him with bright eyes, and the expressions of admiration, admiration and even fanaticality in my eyes were almost condensed into substance.
"Hehe, Su Da's water tune song is indeed powerful. It seems that in ancient times, using poems to make girls' papers, or even let girls' papers be posted, was not a fabrication."
Just when Li Anran was on the surface, she was calm and actually enjoyed this feeling of showing off, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who were originally sitting, rushed up at the same time.
"Young Master, you just recited so beautifully, but is this a poem?" Su Xiaomei asked with admiration.
"Poetry? No, this is not poetry, this is ci. I found it, so it is called Li Ci." Li Anran, who was in love with the beauty, would not feel guilty about stealing poems and stole poems like those predecessors of time travelers, and he shamelessly changed Song Ci to Li Ci.
"Ci? Li Ci? Young Master, what is the name of the poem you just recited?" Xiangyun, who was also held in his arms by someone, asked with his charming big eyes.
"The name of this poem is "Shuituo Getou", and the name of the poem itself is "Mid-Autumn Festival". How about it, it's very good." While Li Anran continued to show off, his hands began to wander down the two girls unhonestly.
""Shuitu Songtou-Mid-Autumn Festival", such a beautiful name."
In the sigh of Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, the three of them hugged each other under the water-like moonlight. Of course, if you can put aside some kind of sound like licking your mouth and stuttering, the picture of the bright moon in the sky, the shade of trees, and the fragrance of flowers in the garden is indeed very beautiful.
"Young Master, what do you think is the moon?" Su Xiaomei, who was kissed and was soft, "jiaochuan" kept leaning on someone's arms with a shy face, drew circles and asked.
"There is nothing good-looking on the moon. It is not only desolate, but also bumpy." Li Anran, who moved her mouth away from Xiangyun's red lips, said subconsciously.
"Young Master is lying again. It would be great if I could go to the moon." Xiangyun, who had just been "chewed" and had a soft heart and a soft body, poked someone's chest with his slender jade fingers and said charmingly.
"I didn't lie this time. There is really nothing fun on the moon." Seeing that he accidentally told the truth, Li Anran quickly started to change the topic and said, "I want to go to the moon to play. With the young master's current ability, I can't do it anymore, but it's still okay to take you around the sky."
Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who were originally moved by the story and the poem just now, have never seen magic weapons with various functions during this period of time, but they never thought that they would go around the sky one day. After looking at each other, they said at the same time:
Chapter completed!
