Eighteen Plum Blossom Guards lay on the ground. Except for the first few Plum Blossom Guards who were knocked away by Yang Fan and were seriously injured, the rest of the Plum Blossom Guards had their joints removed by Yang Fan with his grappling hand, without any fundamental injuries.
However, these Plum Blossom Guards were indeed well-trained. Even though they were sweating in pain, not one of them moaned in pain.
Looking at Yang Fan standing in the field like a god of war, Wu Yuanshuang's face turned pale and his legs were weak. He could only helplessly yell at the remaining Plum Blossom Guards: "Here, as long as you catch him, you will be rewarded with thousands of dollars..."
"
Ignoring Wu Yuanshuang, who was acting like a clown, Jing Chu saluted Yang Fan and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Xiaolang's kung fu is so good. I admire him. I hope that Mr. Xiaolang will not hesitate to teach me if I have the opportunity in the future."
Jing Chu’s words represent Plum Blossom Guard’s position.
Yang Fan chuckled and said: "Senior Jing really keeps his word. It is an honor for me to compete with him."
Seeing Yang Fan being so humble, Jing Chu rarely smiled, nodded slightly, and waved to Plum Blossom Guard.
The remaining Plum Blossom Guards knelt down in a huff, and Jing Chu said to Wu Meiniang: "The Plum Blossom Order cannot be issued. From now on, the Plum Blossom Guards will obey the little lady's orders."
Wu Meiniang had no stage fright, her pretty face was solemn, and she had a heroic spirit. She was quite scolding Fang Qiu and pointed out the country. She shouted in a sweet voice: "You don't have to be polite, Meihuawei and the Wu family are connected by blood. Although Meiniang is just an introduction
Female, but the blood of the Wu family is also flowing in her body. The Plum Blossom Guards should abide by their father's legacy and abide by their duties. Now, the two brothers are unfaithful and unfilial and have repeatedly violated their father's legacy. They should be abandoned. From now on, everything in Plum Blossom Village will
The expenses will be provided by Mei Niang, and I hope to encourage you all!"
"I will obey my lady's orders!"
After the Plum Blossom Guards retreated, Wu Meiniang came to Yang Fan, raised her little head and said excitedly: "Lang Jun, how did Meiniang behave just now?"
Of course, Yang Fan did not hesitate to praise: "Mei Niang has an outstanding charm, a woman who is not inferior to men, and has the demeanor of a female general..."
After receiving Yang Fan's affirmation, Wu Meiniang's two big eyes narrowed into a straight line, her willow eyebrows were lightly raised, and she was as pretty as a flower.
Seeing that the situation was over, Wu Yuanshuang's face was ashen. Looking at the trembling Wu Yuanshuang, he looked completely different from the arrogant one just now.
You could say he is heinous, but he is not that bad, but he treats family ties like dirt because of money. It is really sad.
In the end, Wu Meiniang just expelled Wu Yuanshuang from the villa and ordered him not to set foot in Meihua Villa again. She did not impose any other punishments.
Yang Fan was not dissatisfied with the results, but felt relieved. It once again proved that Wu Meiniang, who had not experienced court battles, was not a naturally vicious person.
…
Outside of the leisurely singing of the autumn scenery, everything is calm and leisurely.
If there is no moon this night, the year will be in vain.
From this we can find out the importance that the ancients attached to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The word Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in "Book of Rites of Zhou". "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" says: "The moon of Mid-Autumn nourishes the elderly and eats rice porridge."
First, it is said that it originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. The "Book of Rites" records: "The emperor rises to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn." The eclipse moon is to worship the moon, which shows that in the Spring and Autumn Period, emperors had already begun to worship the moon.
, later aristocratic officials and literati also followed suit, and gradually spread to the people.
Second, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production, and autumn is the harvest season.
The explanation of the word "Autumn" is: "Autumn is when crops mature. Mid-Autumn Festival in August, when crops and various fruits mature one after another. In order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy, farmers use "Mid-Autumn Festival" as a festival.
"Mid-Autumn Festival" means the middle of autumn. The eighth month of the lunar calendar is the middle month of autumn, and the 15th is the middle day of this month. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a custom inherited from the ancients' "Autumn Report".
Mid-Autumn Festival also has other names: Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiu Xi, August Festival, August Half, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Festival, Moon Eve, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Worship Festival, Moon Niang Festival, Moon Festival, Reunion
Festival, etc., is one of the four major traditional festivals.
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, was popularized in the Han Dynasty, and was finalized in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. The ancients used the round moon to signify the reunion of people, expressing their longing for their hometown and relatives, and praying for a good harvest and happiness.
Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has included worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, appreciating osmanthus, drinking osmanthus wine and other folk customs that have continued for a long time.
Early morning on August 15th.
In the open space in the backyard of a mansion in Chang'an City, two people, one large and one small, were boxing in a serious manner.
The older one is wearing a navy blue brocade robe and black sheepskin boots. He is of medium height, but appears to have well-proportioned muscles and bones and is exceptionally strong.
He has the posture of an ape with arms and a tiger's waist. As he dances with each move, he performs a set of punches smoothly, giving him the air of a master.
The little one has two little pigtails on his head. As his little body dances, he keeps making childish shouts. The pair of small pigtails swing with him, and with his cute big eyes, he looks very cute.
Take a closer look, isn't this Yang Fan and Xiaodouding Helan Minyue?
It turns out that after rescuing them from Meihua Village a few days ago, Wu Shun and others moved into the Yang Mansion. They originally wanted to settle them in Yangjiaping, but Qiu Xi was coming soon, so they stayed at the Mansion for the time being.
Since arriving at Yang Mansion, Helan Minyue has been following Yang Fan like a little tail.
I don’t know if it’s because of the endless fun things Yang Fan has or because he really likes to be with Yang Fan.
Xiao Douding could only send her back to Wu Shun after she went to bed every day, which made Wu Shun a little jealous. He often complained to Wu Mei Niang that his little cotton-padded jacket was leaking.
Every morning during morning exercises, Xiao Douding would always follow him, promising that he would be able to protect his mother after practicing martial arts well.
After finishing a set of military punches, Yang Fan looked back at Xiao Douding.
Because it was a bit cold in the morning and evening, Xiao Douding wore a lot of clothes, and because she had short hands and feet, the military boxing was quite enjoyable.
After all, she was only three years old, and she was a little unsteady when moving or standing. Sometimes she would stagger and almost fall after being punched.
This interesting look made Yang Fan laugh, big and small
Seeing that Yang Fan had finished playing, Xiao Douding immediately stopped and excitedly ran to Yang Fan and raised his head: "Have you finished playing 'Daddy'? When will we play the game?"
Yang Fan is already immune to this title, and he no longer has the embarrassment of his first social death.
There was no way, Wu Shun and the others taught Xiao Douding many times, even if they used sticks, Xiao Douding did not change his words, but Wu Meiniang's eyes looked at Yang Fan with some resentment, and finally everyone acquiesced in calling him this way.
But when outsiders were present, such a title would always make Wu Shun flush with embarrassment, as if he had been caught having an affair. A pair of talking almond eyes secretly blamed Yang Fan for teaching his daughter badly.
Every time he saw the "hateful" look in the delicate and beautiful young woman's eyes, Yang Fan would have really wanted to get rid of this name in name only if it weren't for Wu Meiniang watching her.
Yang Fan pinched Xiao Douding's chubby face and said with a smile: "Okay, after breakfast, call Xing'er and Wan'er and my two sisters to play with you..."
Xiao Douding pouted angrily and complained: "Minyue doesn't want to play with them. They won't let me, so I have to play with daddy..."
As she said this, she hugged Yang Fan's legs and acted coquettishly, laughing. Just when she was about to agree, Xing'er ran in with light steps and said with a happy face: "Master, Miss Wu asked me to come over and inform you. After the master's punching, hurry up and
Take a shower and change your clothes. We will go to Xuantian Temple to offer incense later. We have to get there before six o'clock! Otherwise there will be a lot of people today."
"Pursing incense at Xuantian Temple?"
Yang Fan was stunned for a while and asked casually: "What day is today?"
Xing'er covered her mouth and smiled, her pretty face turned red and she said, "Young Master, have you forgotten? Today is Qiu Xi! This time I went to offer incense, on the one hand, to pray for a bumper harvest this autumn, and more importantly, to pray for the safety of the Yang family.
Blessed, may you have more wealth and more children..."
"Additional child?"
Yang Fan's face suddenly became strange. He and Wu Meiniang have not consummated their marriage yet. If they really have a baby, wouldn't there be a green prairie above them?
However, he also knew that going to a Taoist temple to offer incense was a big deal in ancient times. It would not be out of place to follow the local customs, so he nodded in agreement.
