Chapter 4 Autumn in the blink of an eye

Winter goes and spring, and the weather warms up day by day in a blink of an eye. As the snow gradually melts away, Qingdai's eaves and gray treetops soon reappear.

After the New Year and spring, the originally bare branches also pulled out tender new buds one after another. In addition, the grass is green and flowers begin to bud, giving the small yard of the Yang family a vibrant scene. This spring picture makes the fish leaning against the window sill feel refreshed and bright, and they can't wait to enter the blooming season.

As soon as spring arrived, the provincial test was held as scheduled. Yang Silang also lived up to expectations and passed the provincial examination, then took the palace examination, and finally ranked in the top ten.

Yang Silang has achieved such a good result, which is accompanied by a good future. With Yang Dalang's example in the front, Yang Silang can find a good job, which is also expected by the fish family, and what surprises the fish family is Yang Silang's marriage...

It turned out that when Yang Silang was waiting to take the provincial examination and palace examination in Tokyo, he met a straightforward and hot-tempered official lady in Tokyo. Yang Silang's encounter with the official little lady was not very happy. There were some quarrels between the two, and in the end, they were angry and separated unhappily.

Unexpectedly, the official lady actually had a trace of affection between men and women for Yang Silang. As soon as she got home, she told her parents that she would not marry Yang Silang in her life. Her parents have always loved her, so when they saw their baby daughter insisting on marrying Yang Silang, they had no choice but to nod and agree.

So after Yang Silang's title on the golden list, Gao Hanlin, the father of the little lady and a bachelor of Hanlin, directly came to him, generously said his intention to recruit Yang Silang as his son-in-law, and asked Yang Silang to give a clear answer.

Gao Hanlin came to the door, which can be said to have given Yang Silang an excellent opportunity. As long as Yang Silang nodded to respond to this marriage, he would not have to worry about his future future. Gao Hanlin had such a daughter under his knees and would do something for Yang Silang attentively.

So when the big guy envied Yang Silang and thought that he would definitely respond to the marriage without hesitation, Yang Silang actually refused Gao Hanlin's kindness on the spot, which made Gao Hanlin leave angrily.

And when everyone felt sorry for this matter, Yang Silang did not regret his decision at all, and he was more confident that his family would support him to do so when they knew about it...

And the reason why Yang Silang refused Gao Hanlin is also due to his personality. This Yang Silang is intelligent and talented, which also makes him a little more scholarly. This highness makes Yang Silang unwilling to embark on the road of marriage like Yang Dalang and wants to find a woman he really like as his favorite wife.

Unexpectedly, Yang Silang's refusal aroused the stubbornness in the bones of the little lady of the Gao family, making her even more determined to marry Yang Silang! And the straightforward little lady actually went directly to Yang Silang and asked Yang Silang why she didn't want to marry her. She was not shy at all. On the contrary, she had a resolute attitude that Yang Silang must give a reason!

And after Yang Silang was blocked by the little lady of the Gao family, he knew that the daughter of the Gao Hanlin family was the little lady who had a conflict with him. Although Yang Silang had a dispute with the little lady of the Gao family that day, he appreciated her straightforwardness very much. In addition, the little lady of the Gao family was very different from the little ladies Yang Silang had seen before, so that Yang Silang only saw her once and remembered her...

Maybe God had made arrangements for a long time, or maybe Yue Lao had already tied a red thread between Yang Silang and the little lady of the Gao family. In short, after the little lady of the Gao family asked Yang Silang about the reason for refusing to marry, the two quickly quarreled again and slowly met their eyes and became a pair of happy grievances. Home.

In the end, Yang Silang fell under the pomegranate skirt of the little wife of the Gao family. Then after experiencing a series of trivial matters of marrying a wife, he happily married the little lady of the Gao family. After the two got married, they went to their parents and went to work together.

And Yang Silang went all the way from the time to the palace examination, and he was much luckier than Yang Dalang's, and he was much luckier than Yang Dalang - he just won the title of the gold list and hugged the beauty, and this beauty was still his own favorite, without any political interests in it.

Compared with Yang Silang, Xiao Shuanzi is not as lucky as him...

Although Xiao Shuanzi also passed the provincial examination smoothly, he was brushed down during the palace examination, and then returned to Xiaoqi Village in frustration. Before going to Beijing, this little Shuanzi was confident and his family promised that he would go to high school, and he also said in front of the fish, "Wait for me to marry you when I come back from high school", but in the end, he failed to pass the palace examination and the title of the golden list...

This result made Xiaozuzi suddenly feel ashamed to see the fish and dare not mention anything about marrying a fish child. As soon as he returned to Xiaoqi Village, he locked himself at home to study hard and made a vow to pass the palace test and the golden list in three years!

However, although Xiao Shuanzi was depressed, his mother Lin did not feel that Xiao Shuanzi failed to pass the palace examination at all. Instead, she felt that Xiao Shuanzi could take the exam all the way to Jinluan Hall, which was very promising! And Lin also set up several tables of banquets to invite relatives and friends, which was a celebration of Xiao Shuanzi's ability to pass the provincial examination and meet the officials at the Jinluan Hall.

It's normal for Lin to think like this. After all, in the small place of Xiaoqi Village, there are few people like Yang Dalang and Yang Silang in a year, and even there are not many people who can successfully pass the provincial examination to participate in the palace examination! Therefore, Xiao Shuanzi can pass the provincial test, which is also promising in the eyes of the villagers in Xiaoqi Village. After all, Xiao Shuanzi has passed the provincial examination and is already a "man"...

And the fish knew that Xiao Shuanzi was hit and felt uncomfortable, so she didn't go to Zhao's house to find him, so as not to make Xiao Shuanzi feel more uncomfortable. In addition, the last conversation in the bamboo forest made the fish a little confused about how to face the little bolt, so the fish also hid with the ostrich mentality, thinking about waiting for the little bolt to figure it out before making plans.

And the Yang family was busy finishing Yang Silang's marriage, and then busy sending Yang Silang and his wife out and going to work. After tossed these things for many days, they entered the beginning of autumn and saw that the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to come.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Liu has to take Lin Sanniang to get busy again. After all, people in Hui'an attach great importance to the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are many things to prepare.

In the early years, the situation of the Yang family has always been bad, so the Spring Festival is also tight. Many customs have not been handled seriously in the past because of lack of money. Especially the most expensive custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yang family is very simple every year, which makes the Mid-Autumn Festival a little less. The lively atmosphere.

But this year is no better than in previous years. At present, except for Yang Liulang, several other children in the Yang family have married their wives, and are officials and fishing. In addition, the three daughters-in-law are very sensible and always use various ways to help subsidize the family.

Li and Gao also handed over their own dowry fields to take care of, and clearly said that these things collected in the dowry fields were put into the Yang family's public account, which was a little compensation for not being able to fulfill their filial piety in front of Yang Dazhu and his wife. There are a lot of dowry fields between the Li family and the Gao family, so the Yang family has a lot of income.

In addition, after the fish learned that the shadow sculpture could be sold at a large price, she began to take the shadow sculpture shop in the city to exchange money to subsidize the family. Although the fish only carved one or two shadow sculptures a month, this is enough to make the situation of the Yang family slowly much better than before. There is no need to go through the days when they can't open the pot and can only drink rice soup and chew wild vegetables.

Now that the Yang family has lived a good life, Liu will do a good job of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year to make up for the regret of not having a lively Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years. So just at the end of July and the beginning of August, Liu has begun to be busy preparing for all kinds of things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he clearly said early this morning that he must let everyone have a good time until everyone is happy!

And Yuer has known for a long time that there is a custom of Bo cake in the Mid-Autumn Festival in southern Fujian, and he has long wanted to do it in person. Therefore, after listening to Liu's words, Yuer began to look forward to the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and always pestered Liu to ask what he would use as a lottery.

This cake is actually a unique Mid-Autumn Festival traditional activity in southern Fujian, which can be said to be a unique mooncake culture unique to southern Fujian. In short, it is an entertainment activity with a gambling color.

The things needed for cakes are also very simple - a large porcelain bowl, a pair of dice, and a large box of cakes (moon cakes). In addition to preparing a large box of cakes, people with better families will also prepare all kinds of things to make lottery.

Although this cake is also one of the moon cakes, it is very different from ordinary moon cakes - it is made of moon cakes of different sizes. There is a set of cake with the largest mooncakes called the "Zongyuan cake";

There are two moon cakes that are slightly smaller than the "top cake" and are called "tang cakes";

There are four moon cakes that are smaller than "tang cakes" and are called "three red cakes";

In addition, there are eight moon cakes called "four cakes", 16 moon cakes called "two cakes", and 32 moon cakes called "one show cake" the smallest in a box of cakes.

Since this moon cake is divided into size and "level", it naturally depends on the dice to decide who eats the big cake and who eats the small cake, so this cake also has its unique set of cake rules.

Under the special statement, Xiaoyun checked it and found out that the cake was invented by Zheng Chenggong in the Ming Dynasty~

Khan, although Bo cake has not yet appeared in the Song Dynasty, Bo cake is really a unique custom in southern Fujian, especially now Xiamen will make articles on Bo cake every year~~ Xiaoyun also loves this custom, so he wrote it~ Everyone should think of the butterfly effect of crossing~
