    Thoughts on the Hungry Ghost Festival: The Taoist temple purifies the ghosts and retains the ancient meaning of Yulan.  ??But it¡¯s strange that the red paper is posted on the door, Roshan and the sea of ??wine celebrate the Chinese New Year.  Chang'an Zaxing Effect Bamboo Branch Body: Thousands of trees are cool and frosty, the air is clear, and the nine roads are bright in the middle of the first month.  Children compete for green lotus leaves, and thousands of silver flowers scatter the city on fire.  The above two poems are both poets from the Qing Dynasty describing the lively scenes during the Ghost Festival and the Menglan Basin Festival in July. The entire July is commonly known as the ghost month. Apart from Chinese Valentine's Day, there are no other festivals.  After the Hungry Ghost Festival, bugs that look like a plump watermelon seed begin to appear in the market. They are called golden bells. This bug has long limbs, four tarsus, and strong hind limbs.  Its tentacles are about 32 mm long and come in 3 colors starting from the base. The base is ocher, about 5 mm long; the middle is white, about 15 mm long; the tip is black, about 12 mm.  Its tail is white.  The hind wings of some individuals extend beyond the tail, which is slightly shorter than the 2 tail barbels.  The veins on the flat and oval forewings of this insect are obviously raised and corrugated.  The female is slightly larger than the male, and the forewings are narrower than the male.  The sound of golden bells is very peculiar, like a bell, and its sound is "dang-dang-dang". It is produced in a wide range of places and is distributed in almost every province. However, when mentioning golden bells in ancient times, most of them refer to Yi.  The state is called a cricket in the shape of a woven fabric.  Merchants trafficked the golden bell to the capital, and people bought it and put it beside their pillows to listen to it. The sound was the clearest and clearest, with a rhyme that was not sad. It seemed that it was a pet that was born to belong to the high hall of Guangsha, so it was called the golden bell.  In the past few days, the wives of each family are getting together, and the venue is set to be at Mu's house. Aunt Shen has been busy taking care of everything in the past few days. In addition to the inner house, she also sent money to the outer kitchen to prepare a banquet for the men in the front hall.  On July 20, she got up early, summoned all the stewards, and was arranging the details of the banquet.  The little girl who went up to the room ran over and said, "Madam, I'm waiting for grandma to speak." "You guys wait a moment." Aunt Shen hurried over and saw all the ladies in the house, chatting and laughing with each other.  Xiao Yushi, who was standing outside, smiled at her and said: "Well done, we are waiting for you, the head of the family, to come so we can draw up the charter." Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Ouch! My ears have been clean for half a month.  , Now I have to listen to your noise again. You still want to make fun of me as the leader. I have really been ridiculed for being the leader, so I have no place to complain. " Qingwen said funnyly: "Who dares to ridicule you? Come on.  Tell me, we'll beat those people tomorrow to vent your anger." "Great." Aunt Shen clasped her hands and laughed, stepping forward to hold Qingwen's hand, "With a helper like you, I won't be afraid of anyone.  I will go back to Mrs. Ming today and ask you to come and take care of me. When the time comes, you should learn to be nice and shrink your head and refuse to offend others. " "What a joke! When should I be afraid of offending others?" Qingwen said arrogantly.  road.  Xiao Yushi pointed at her and laughed loudly: "It turns out that you are a shrinking person. You are no longer the sharp mouth and sharp heart of the past." Upon seeing this, Mu Ningxue said: "When you meet, you will quarrel and ridicule. It's so big  Age, don¡¯t say that you fall out and start a quarrel, that will make people laugh. " "I will never fall out with your grandma Qing," Aunt Shen laughed and joked, "She can do it for me.  If I hit someone else, how can I not be afraid that they will hit me?" In one sentence, everyone laughed.  Xu Qinglian smiled and said: "Don't be ridiculous, I came to you to discuss a serious matter. You should have already made up your mind on how to arrange today's banquet. Let everyone listen." Aunt Shen glanced at her wife,  He said: "There are not many arrangements. The banquet is just like the previous wife's style. Lunch is served at Shufang Pavilion, because the lotus flowers in the pond have not finished blooming, so you can enjoy them, and it is cooler there than elsewhere. I only summoned two girls.  The storyteller came to serve, and the music and singing were quite elegant; dinner was served at the Liufang Pavilion, and all the dental cards, dice, Go and Shuanglu, and various lottery chips for the orders were prepared. As for the expenses for these days, I called Meinu Ji.  Keep an eye on the amount and wait for the list to be made in half a month, and then ask all the ladies to distribute according to the shares. "Most people like the AA system for gatherings like this, whether it is a wealthy family or an ordinary family. The reason is probably related to the unnamed gatherings in later generations.  The reasons for sharing meal expenses are similar. Everyone gets money, no one owes anyone, and no one has a big burden, so it can continue for a long time.  Otherwise, in ancient times, gatherings would often involve the host bringing along people, ranging from twenty or thirty people to one or two hundred people. If the number of gatherings increased too often, wealthy families would be overwhelmed.  Xiao Yushi said: "I told her to leave it to her, and she won't do anything wrong. Well, it's difficult for you. Since you have worked hard for many days, when the accounts are calculated, we will pay for the shares you should pay.  You can share it with me, it¡¯s considered a reward.¡± Aunt Shen shook her head and smiled: ¡°I don¡¯t need to worry about it, ladies and aunts, I will go from house to house to express my gratitude. Now I just want you to thank me.  I know how to make money." "You are too underestimated." Xiao Yushi laughed and said, "You are so narrow-minded, I will pay for your share  " At this time Du Qianqian asked: "Where is the banquet for the gentlemen outside?" Aunt Shen put away her smile and replied: "It is also the same as the banquet in the inner house, in the afternoon at Wangyun Pavilion, dinner at Dali Villa, and sitting in Erhai Courtyard.  A troupe of a cappella singers and a few red aunties who could talk were also called to serve.  " "That's it, don't bother yourself anymore, provoke the censor to gossip, you can make arrangements.  Du Qianqian nodded, and then said: "Those who are serving the banquet inside and outside must also be assigned to the number of people, so that there is no room for laziness."  "    "yes.  "Aunt Shen agreed, not forgetting to glance at Lu'er who was standing among the maids, and turned around to go out. In the dead of night, Shen Tao once again hugged the quilt and sneaked into Zheguixuan. After squatting for half an hour, Sun Huixin put on heavy makeup.  Walking slowly, the two held hands, Shen Tao put his arms around the beautiful woman's shoulders, smelled the rich fragrance on her body, and carefully looked at her dress. Sun Huixin's neck felt itchy from his kiss, and said: "Don't be so childish.  What happened to what I told you the day before yesterday?" Shen Tao said excitedly: "I wrote to my mother, and she wrote back and said, 'Your father once said that he wanted to hire the second young lady of the Sun family. Since you want to hire the eldest lady, you must have good looks.  It's the same thing if you have a better temper. Let me tell your father slowly.  ¡¯ How about it? It seems that we are eighty percent sure about this matter.  " Sun Huixin was overjoyed. She put her arms around her lover affectionately and said, "Good brother, your father refused to obey and hired my sister. I have given all my life to you. You may have to imitate Ehuang.  " To her, it is indeed sincere. Although sisters marrying the same husband will cause gossip, it is not without precedent in ancient times. Of course, it is too wishful thinking. Shen Tao knows that it is impossible. Why should the Sun family marry two daughters?  Marry yourself? Because she is the second son, she betrothed Sun Huiruo out of consideration for the scholarly family background of the Shen family, and also because of the family friendship between the two families. In all likelihood, Sun Huixin would choose a wealthy businessman with a similar family background, or a wealthy businessman.  Officials with interests in the business world. In short, Sun Huixin, who is beautiful in appearance and naturally charming, is an important weight in the hands of Mr. Sun. Unless he can quickly become a Jinshi and become famous all over the world, it is impossible for Ehuang and Nuying to embrace him.  Fortunately, Sun Huiruo's appearance is not bad, and the age difference is only a few years, but her temper is more traditional. As long as Shen Tao's father changes his mind and instead asks a matchmaker to come to apply for Sun Huixin, then Mr. Sun will probably agree immediately.  He said with confidence: "As long as you and I are strong-willed, why worry about this matter not working out? My mother loves me the most, and my father listens to my mother's words the most.  " Hearing his affirmative tone, Sun Huixin became even more happy, and immediately took the initiative to take off her clothes and belt with a smile. After a sudden change, Shen Tao found out through various channels in the past two days that his pencil seemed to be one size smaller than that of a normal man. He concluded  Since I have not grown up yet, I am afraid that the beauty will not be used, so I pant and say: "I am still young now, but when I grow up in the future, you still have many wonderful things."  " Sun Huixin said with blurred almond eyes: "You should look at the present first. The imperial examination next year will be more strict, sir. I'm afraid you won't dare to come. Naturally, you will have to wait until you are older in the future.  " Sun Tao thought the same thing, stopped his movements, and said with a grimace: "Please allow my sister to have fun during the day. If not, wouldn't it suffocate me to death?" "It's not appropriate to do it during the day.  Sun Huixin frowned and said, "It would be better to find an unoccupied room outside the house, make an appointment, and meet every three or four days."  " "It's not difficult.  Shen Tao said happily: "It's best to talk about it every other day. There are so many spare rooms in your house."  " "Once every other day? Oh, be gentle, I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself.  " "What are you afraid of? I am young and strong, so it doesn't matter if I attack suddenly.  ¡± They were chatting and laughing with each other, and Shen Tao got mad again. Although he belonged to the short-gun family and had average fighting power, he was still young and energetic. They had at least two trysts at each time, and they came to Plum Blossom Lane 3 when they were interested. Sun Huixin said:  He was quite satisfied in that aspect. Anyway, he didn't have the experience of others. At this moment, Jiao Jiao was panting and said hypocritically: "It's already the fourth watch, why don't you take a rest?" Shen Tao said with a smile: "I want to sleep, but that's it.  The young monk refused to obey, he was still looking for trouble inside.  " "Bah!" Sun Huixin smiled and raised her hand to hit him. She quietly raised her legs and hooked the man's waist. The next day, while her husband was going out to meet friends, Shen Tao and the three of them ordered a banquet for dinner.  Among them, Wu Daiyun has a good drinker and said: "After being restrained for so many days, the three of us must drink as much as we want. Come, come, we all take turns punching until the husband comes back!" He pulled Sun Jiang and started punching, shouting at him.  Sun Jiang lost continuously, drank six or seven glasses of wine, and was already half drunk. Shen Tao wanted to get him drunk so that he could have a tryst at night, so he secretly colluded with Wu Daiyun, so Sun Jiang soon became drunk and danced on the wine table.  In the evening, the teacher's servant came back and told them that he would stay at a friend's house for two nights and ask them to study hard.At that time, Sun Jiang was lying on the kang. When Wu Daiyun heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir, if you don't come back, then I'll go home." Shen Tao laughed and said, "You're not married and you don't have a wife at home. What can you do when you go back?  ?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to take a walk on the canal in the county while I have the chance. If you want to have fun, come with me.¡± Wu Daiyun smiled and said, ¡°Chaozhou Gang, Yangzhou Gang, Yinzhu Street, and Qingfangli in the county.  The large and small boats on the river are all under my father's control now. Who dares not to flatter me when they see me? Come on, come with me to broaden your horizons and satisfy your cravings. "  (To be continued.) h211
