It’s Mid-Autumn Festival, and it gets colder in the afternoon. The roadside is still lush and green. Occasionally, a pheasant flies up, and before you can see clearly, it will fly away. There are also hares poking their heads in the grass and looking at the pedestrians on the road.

Wang Xiaoli rode on the horse, looking at the scenery, and his mind was open. He had been in this world for a few months and finally settled down. Unlike the previous few days, he was not as stable as he fought and killed.

When we arrived in front of the village, we saw a group of people gathered next to the big stone mill at the entrance of the village, chatting there. When we saw Wang Xiaoli's team coming, we all came up to us. We spoke auspicious words and bowed in our hands, which was really intimate.

Wang Xiaoli dismounted and asked his companions to bring the mooncakes he brought. He said, "This is a new mooncake in the state. Compared with the past, it looks better and tastes more delicious. Each person will take one pack home to try it."

While saying that, he personally delivered it to everyone.

Everyone received the mooncakes and thanked them all. The little housekeeper of the Wang family was as polite as the old official.

When Wang Qingxiu walked halfway, he met Wang Xiaoli who entered the village. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "When you come home, send someone to inform me first, so I can go to the village entrance to greet you in advance. Unlike before, you are an official in the court now, how can you lose your courtesy?"

Wang Xiaolei said: "What are the uses of those vulgar gifts? You are your sister, just sit at home."

While talking, he walked with Wang Qingxiu. When the villagers on the road saw each other, they avoided the side early.

When officials travel, pedestrians should avoid it. Although this is a chaotic time and etiquette is not fully considered, everyone still understands the basic rules.

Whenever he walked in front of someone, Wang Xiaoli would greet him with a smile. All the people on the roadside were flattered and responded quickly.

When he arrived at home, Wang Xiaoli sat down, and Wang Qingxiu went to pour tea. He said, "Last time, you said, don't hire people at home. Now I'm the only one, so many things are inconvenient."

Wang Xiaolie received the tea and said, "What's inconvenient? If you don't do anything all day long, you can reach out for your clothes and open your mouth for your meals, it's not a good day. Now the expenses at home have my own salary, so my sister will do it."

Wang Qingxiu smiled and said, "What you said is of course right. But in this world, who has a few spare money, and doesn't hire someone to use it."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Why do someone have to call him? Why are you willing to be called by someone? There are too many things in this world that should not be done, but I am used to it. I can't control others, and my sister can always say a few words."

After hearing this, Wang Qingxiu just smiled. In the eyes of her sister, everything her brother did was right, although it was a bit strange.

The soldiers moved all the gifts Wang Xiaoliu brought into their home. Wang Xiaoliu said: "They cooked what they eat. Today is the festival. I cook a few dishes and my sister drank two glasses of wine. It has been more than a year and I have never reunited well."

Wang Qingxiu said: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Not to mention that you are the governor now, so many people will obey your orders. Since you are home, you will rest. If you don't hire anyone at home, I will do this."

Wang Xiaoli said: "Since I was young, you took care of me. Now that I am old, I should do it. A gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, which means that a gentleman did not see blood and did not kill animals. When he saw his life, how could he bear to eat his meat? So there are butchers in the world. Now, the kitchen is slaughtered. What does it matter if I just went in and cooked meat and vegetables?"

Wang Qingxiu just refused.

Wang Xiaoli said: "Sister doesn't have to stick to it. It's not necessary for women to cook in the world, men can do it. If one day, women go out to earn money to support their families, it will be natural for men to cook. Our family is different, and the siblings are two. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, you can sit and celebrate the festival with peace of mind."

Men don’t cook? Women in later generations generally work, and men cook in many families. What ethnic traditions cannot be changed, the Chinese people will not have any pressure to change them. This tradition has been proven in the face of facts how insignificant it is worth mentioning.

Wang Qingxiu couldn't resist it. Seeing that the soldiers had gone out, he had to let Wang Xiao hunt.

His mother died early, and Wang Xiaolie was taken care of by Wang Qingxiu. The eldest daughter is like a mother, and Wang Xiaolie's family is particularly like this.

When he entered the kitchen, he saw that the utensils were exquisite and the variety was complex, but he didn't have them used to it. Wang Xiaoli shook his head helplessly. He often cooked in his previous life and could cook a large table of dishes by himself. But things he often used at that time were rare in this world.

The stove was newly built. Wang Zhong learned what he learned in Kaifeng Prefecture and built a new wok. A big pot next to it was bought by Wang Ru after he passed the Jinshi period. There were no other ones at home. There were many jars and jars.

It was getting dark, and the moon had just climbed up from the east sky. It was round and bright, hanging on the clean sky. The moonlight shone down, leaving mottled shadows on the ground through the sycamore trees.

There was a table and two chairs under the tree. Wang Xiaoli and Wang Qingxiu sat opposite each other and admired the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Wang Qingxiu said, "I didn't expect that you could cook so many dishes in a year."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Sister knows that I have loved eating since I was a child. I don't know how to cook myself, and I rely on others. Then I will inevitably feel wronged."

As he said that, he took out the wine bottle and Wang Xiaoli poured wine for the two of them. He said, "I didn't expect that I could find this bottle of osmanthus wine. On the full moon night, we siblings and sisters drank a glass, which was a joy in the world."

Wang Qingxiu smiled and shook her head: "I raised you since I was a child, but I don't have the mood."

Wang Xiaoli looked at his sister. After a while, he whispered: "Over the past year, I have suffered so much pain, how many wars have passed, and how many separations have been seen. Isn't it easy to meet again today? The Jin soldiers have caused trouble to the Central Plains, how many families have been destroyed, how many wives have been separated, and how many people have filled the ravines. It is no longer easy to live."

Wang Qingxiu said: "We are alive, but my father has gone. Many families are like this-"

Wang Xiaoli nodded, raised his bowl and said, "We drink. Today I cooked a few dishes, and my sister tasted them all."

After drinking wine, put down the wine bowl, the two of them picked up chopsticks and picked up the dishes.

Today is a big festival. There are eight dishes and one soup on the table. One pork buckle, one chopped chicken, one roasted duck, and one braised fish. There are four other vegetables, leek and eggs, vegetarian fried lotus root slices, fragrant dried celery, and fried bean sprouts. The soup is egg flower soup.

Because they were two siblings, they did not share food. Eight dishes and soup were placed on the table together, each with a pair of chopsticks, and they would hold whatever they wanted.

After eating a little of each, Wang Qingxiu said: "Where did you learn such good skills? These dishes are tastes that you have never tasted before. They are fragrant enough, sweet and sweet, and today they are just a good treat."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Then you say, if I don't become a magistrate and open a restaurant, will it be a good business?"

Wang Qingxiu smiled and said, "Of course the business is good! For this taste, as long as I have money, I will visit you every day."

After saying that, the two of them laughed together.

The moon rose higher, many stars disappeared, and the sky became extremely smooth.

Wang Qingxiu put down his chopsticks, looked at the sky, and whispered: "When I was young, I begged for skill at this time. At that time, there were small tables, offerings on the table, begging for wishes from the moon. When I grow up, I can be clever and skillful when I make it well. I can embroider the best flowers and birds. Now I am old, but I don't have the intention anymore. Sometimes, I think about it, the child's thoughts are still very interesting."

"Yes, children's thoughts are the most interesting. They don't know much about this world. They don't know much, and their wishes are simple. When they grow up and see the appearance of this world, many of their thoughts will change."

Wang Xiaoli said, his eyes blurred.

Wang Qingxiu turned around, looked at Wang Xiaoli, and asked seriously: "What is your wish now?"

"What is it?" Wang Xiaolie picked up a floating sycamore flower and held it in his hand, with a faint sweetness. "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I wish I could drive away the Jin soldiers and be peaceful in the world. May the country be peaceful and the people be happy and the people be happy. May I live happily and without worries. There is nothing wrong with this, but I always feel that it is not enough, not what I am."

Wang Qingxiu was a little surprised: "What do you look like, what is your wish?"

"I've been to this world!"

"What?" Wang Qingxiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this. My brother's wish was really strange.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Wang Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "I did a lot of things when I returned to Ruzhou. When doing these things, some people got benefits and praised me all the time. Some people were unhappy and even scolded me. Being an official in the court, some people praised me, and some people scolded me, are all ordinary things."

Wang Qingxiu nodded: "When my father was an official, he said the same."

Wang Xiaolie smiled. His father was a good official. When the country was in danger, he still spent all his family's wealth, raised an army to save the king, and even sacrificed his life. But is this world worth it?

Worth it. The Zhao family royal family may not be worth it, but this world is worth it.

Wang Xiaoli continued, "But most of the things I do are just confused. The closest ones like Wang Zhong, who did not allow him to serve in our house and paid his monthly salary. He didn't know why. For example, in the government office, he did not allow his generals and officials to do business, and could only receive salary. They were happy that their salary was high, but they didn't understand it in their hearts. For example, when building a new village, the people could have land to grow and eat food, but they didn't understand why the land was not allowed to be traded privately. So they went out to the government to do many businesses, and everyone didn't understand why it was different from the previous official office."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Everyone doesn't understand, and I look like a weird person. What's the solution? If you don't do this, you can't build a strong army and fight against the Jin army in a short time. There is not much time, so you can only do it in the fastest way. I also want to drink and eat meat with my subordinates like brothers when they are fine. I can greet the people like neighbors at all times. But if you don't understand what I do, you can't do it."

Wang Qingxiu said: "As long as you are good to everyone, it's nothing to understand for the moment. Besides, you don't have to worry about doing things, you always have to take it slowly. As long as the time comes, everyone will always understand."

"What if I die? We will die after we finish this meal today. Or we will never get up tomorrow morning-"

"How do you say such things! Don't say unlucky things tonight in Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Seeing that Wang Qingxiu was a little anxious, Wang Xiaoli nodded and said nothing.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "Glory and wealth will eventually become empty, and life is a great dream. Buddhism says this is enlightenment, enlightenment, enlightenment, realization of nature. So what if you realize it? The people in the world are still suffering endlessly. Good men come to the world without seeking fame or wealth, but seeking the people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment! How can they live and work in peace and contentment? I can only use what I know, and use the fastest way to do the most things. If someone comes to see this world in the future, they know that I have been here!"

How to save this world? Wang Xiaolie was just vague. He felt that he knew it, but he couldn't explain it clearly. There were many ways to repel the Jin army, but it was not enough. The Ming Dynasty drove away Mongolia but died in the Qing Dynasty. History cannot be simply repeated.

What should I do? Wang Xiaoliu cannot, at least not now, and he can say it clearly. But he knows one thing that he does must be marked with the marks of his previous life and his own marks, which cannot be done by others.

Only in this kind of life can we say that even if we don’t know what Wang Xiaolie’s previous life was, we can clearly know that Wang Xiaolie has been here in this world.
