Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shangsi Festival, the wind and rain are coming


On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head on the third day of March, and Xuanyuan was born On the day of March 3, Yecheng was also completely lively.

Of course, this liveliness does not refer to the liveliness of the Yecheng market, in fact, the Yecheng market is not lively, but it is more deserted than usual, those merchants are also closed today, and the farmers who usually rush to the market have disappeared today.

Because they went out to Yecheng.

Naturally, in this way, the really lively place is the outskirts of Yecheng, which is the Xuanwu Pond and the bank of the Zhangshui River.

On the outskirts of Yecheng, there were already crowds everywhere at this time, especially in the area of Zhangshui Xuanwu Pond, which was already overcrowded.

The entire Yecheng people poured out.

Such a grand occasion may be comparable to the Spring Festival in later generations.

Cao Chong looked at the Suzaku Avenue where the convoy was all over, but he thought of the traditional culture of the Shangsi Festival.

There are many traditions in the Shangsi Festival, of course, many of them have completely disappeared in later generations, and those that have not disappeared have also become part of the Qingming Festival.

Zhou Li Zheng Xuan's note: "Purified when the year was old, and now in March, it is like water and the like."

According to records, the Shangsi Festival was already popular in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Shangsi Festival is the most important festival in ancient times when the "Cleansing and Bathing" activity was held.

Analects: "Those who are in the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are completed, the crown is five or six, the boy is six or seven, bathing, the wind is dancing, and the song returns."

That's what it was like when it was written.

After the Song Dynasty, science prevailed, etiquette and religion gradually became stricter, and the customs of the Shangsi Festival gradually declined in Chinese culture.

In addition, the March 3rd Shangsi Festival corresponds to the September 9th Double Ninth Festival, just as the Han Liu Xin Xijing Miscellaneous Records said: "March Shangsi, September Chongyang, the handmaiden game, this is the purification and ascending."

One is in late spring, the other is in late autumn, and the outing and resignation are also entering.

And the Shangsi Festival also has a name, the Daughter's Festival, that is, the spring bath day, and it is also the day of the major activities of the Shangsi Festival.

At this time, before noon, Cao Chong had already taken a bath with herbs, put on the marquis's crown clothes, and put on the princely clothes, Cao Chong looked very graceful.

Bathing with herbs is a traditional custom of the Shangsi Festival, which is equivalent to bathing with wormwood in the Spring Festival.

This activity is called a ritual.

For unmarried men and women, it is a good time for men and women to look at each other and do things.

And for married women, this is a rare opportunity to go out and play in the water.

Of course, for people like Cao Chong, it's time to make a name for yourself.

At this time, on the banks of the Zhangshui River, I don't know how many literati and rioters have set up a formation, competing with each other and testing their literary talents If there is a chance, Cao Chong naturally wants to compete with them.

Of course, Cao Chong obviously didn't have a chance to compete with those people, because Cao Chong was going to Tongquetai to hold a family banquet.

At this time, Cao Chong was sitting on top of his huge car, next to two little Zhengtai in formal suits.

Cao Yu Cao was accompanied by Cao Chong for a few days, and met many of Cao Chong's friends, of course, meeting each other is nothing more than getting to know each other, and whether they can have Wang Sheng's network in the end, it depends on their skills and personal charm.

For Cao Yu, it's a great time to see the world and build his own network, while for 10-year-old Cao, this year's festival is just a festival of play.

Children like to be lively, and after playing with Cao Chong, this little guy is completely let go, and he is not honest in Cao Chong's car.

If Cao Chong hadn't often given him a chestnut, maybe he would have been rampant to the point where he used to be.

Cao Chong sat on top of the car, and around the car, Zhuge Liang was accompanied by Zhuge Liang in a white robe, Zhuge Liang rode a white horse, and it was only three meters away from Cao Chong's huge princely car.

And a little farther away, Gao Yi in armor and nearly a hundred Hushi accompanied him.

Tongquetai is not far from Yecheng, but it is not close, so it is not wrong to bring more people over.

After Cao rushed into the car, at the door, there were several graceful figures at the door to say goodbye.

It was Cao Chong's wives and concubines.

During the day, Cao Chong and Xin Xianying are not on the same road, and the Shangsi Festival is called the Daughter's Festival, and they are the protagonists of the festival.

They should be going to Zhangshui.

Of course, if it was just a few of them, Cao Chong would still worry about their safety, but in fact, they didn't go alone.

Wait a minute, they will go to the Wei Palace, and go on a trip with Mrs.

Bian, Mrs.

Huan and others.

If someone wants to target this team, I'm afraid they will be dizzy.

Besides, since it was Mrs.

Bian and Mrs.

Huan who were traveling, there were a lot of guards with them, even if those who hated Cao Cao had this thief's heart and a thief's courage, even if they dared to rush out, it was just suicide, not to be afraid.

So Cao Chong didn't have much worry in his eyes.

He looked at Xin Xianying's face with a look of "husband, please rest assured", and his heart was also settled.

Even if Dong'er is innocent and simple, Sun Shangxiang is naughty and active, plus Guan Yinping, Mrs.

Zhou Yinggan and others have their own ideas, but with Xin Xianying's skills, they must still be able to control the overall situation.

So Cao Chong waved his hand, and the next moment, the carriage set off slowly, leaving only the beautiful woman with a little attachment on her face.

Bones The car set off from Suzaku Avenue, and the wheels crushed against the bluestone on Suzaku Avenue, making a sound that was not particularly pleasant.

Along the way, there were also many cars rushing to the road, of course, their formation was not as big as Cao Chong's formation.

Today, all the officials in Yecheng are generally resting, of course, there are some positions that cannot be missing, and there is no holiday.

Those who are free have basically chosen to go out for an outing, and even some people plan to spend the night in a suburban manor, and there are many people who do not come back for a whole day.

Cao Chong looked at the scenery of Yecheng, and also met some acquaintances on the way, most of these were people from the court, such as the Sima family, the Jia family, and the Xunyou Mansion team For these people, who are familiar with each other, Cao Chong naturally salutes in the car, and those who are not familiar with it also give them a smile, as for what they will think in their hearts, this has nothing to do with Cao Chong.

Cao Chong's car drove all the way out of the city, but he didn't expect to meet Cao Zhi's team in the east of Yecheng.

Now, it's a little embarrassing.

Cao Zhi's team is not big or small, just like Cao Chong, but there are more advisers around him, and there are fewer warriors.

Now that he had seen it, Cao Chong naturally couldn't pretend not to understand, so he went to a place a little closer to Cao Zhi and stopped the car.

"Fourth brother, Cang Shu is polite."

Cao Chong saluted Cao Zhi.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

Since Cao Chong saluted him, Cao Zhi didn't have any bad looks on his face, so Cao Zhi also got up in the car and saluted Cao Chong.

"Cangshu, don't come unharmed."

After a salute, Cao Chong asked with a smile: "The fourth brother is stagnant here, but he has to wait for someone."

This is not a secret, so Cao Zhi nodded without thinking about it.

"Waiting for someone."

Cao Chong smiled and asked again: "But I'm waiting for the third brother."

Cao Zhi was just about to continue answering, but next to Cao Zhi's car, a person stepped forward.

This person was wearing a sky blue brocade robe with a plain crown on his head, but he looked like he was deliberately vigorous, it was Yang Xiu.

"Zijian, who is he waiting for here, it seems that it has nothing to do with the prince, the prince still has a way to go, and I don't want to delay the prince and marquis too much time here, please."

As he spoke, Yang Xiu bowed to Cao Chong.

Cao Chong naturally could see what Yang Xiu meant by driving people away, he just had some doubts in his heart.

Isn't he just waiting for Cao Zhang?

It's not a confidential matter, so it wouldn't be okay to talk to me Cao Chong shook his head, not looking for any displeasure, but waved his hand and motioned for the coachman to move on.

Seeing Cao Chong's car disappear in front of him, Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his eyes and body became a little playful.

Luoyang Hou, Luoyang Hou.

This storm is coming.

I don't know if you're ready:
