Teenagers don't know sorrow 2(1/3)
Jiang Chiqiu's father and mother are both very trustworthy people. Another aspect of trustworthiness means that they are definitely not the kind of parents who can let go if they want to plead for a little.
Therefore, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia really started copying their own family rules as they said before, and copied them from summer to autumn.
Although the previous world and this world were both ancient, the development level of the world was completely different.
Jiang Chiqiu is now in a place that is obviously much more prosperous, especially in the capital of this world, where he is full of places to eat, drink and have fun.
Compared with the previous world full of demons, this place is simply paradise.
Therefore, although he had to copy the rules of his family every day, Jiang Chiqiu didn't think it was such a painful thing.
There are many trees planted in Baofan City, the capital of this dynasty, whose names cannot be called by Jiang Chiqiu. As soon as the autumn comes, the leaves of these trees all turn red. From a distance, it looks like a ball of flame growing on the trees, which looks very spectacular.
The fire-like red leaves are combined with various buildings in the capital, and the scenery is really amazing.
Jiang Chiqiu still travels between home and the palace every day, just like before.
But from that day on, he found that there seemed to be more strange faces on the streets of Baofancheng.
After leaving the palace on that day, Jiang Chiqiu was still sitting and chatting with his sister Jiang Hexia in the carriage as usual.
He subconsciously lifted the curtains of the carriage and looked outside. After seeing more and more people on the street, Jiang Chiqiu finally couldn't help asking his sister curiously: "Sister Hexia, do you think there are a lot more people in the capital in recent times?"
Hearing Jiang Chiqiu’s question, Jiang Hexia couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose.
Although he is only two years older than Jiang Chiqiu, Jiang Hexia has always been very conscious of being a sister.
Now that Jiang Chiqiu asked her such a question, Jiang Hexia quickly became serious. She thought carefully and prepared to answer Jiang Chiqiu's question.
So the girl also looked out the window, and then she thought about it and replied to Jiang Chiqiu: "I heard from the second princess that in a few days, Zhufengguan in the capital seemed to have to do some work... This event was personally hosted by the National Normal University, so many people came here early."
Jiang Hexia is just a child and she is not very interested in this kind of activity. Therefore, although she has heard of this from the princess, her memory is still not deep.
After hearing the other party's explanation, Jiang Chiqiu nodded as if he was ignorant, then withdrew his hand and put the curtain down.
On the surface, Jiang Chiqiu seemed to be no longer curious about this matter, but in fact he just hid this question in his heart. At this time, Jiang Chiqiu planned to ask his parents carefully after he went home.
But it was a coincidence that after returning home, Jiang Chiqiu had not even had time to ask his parents about this, and they had already brought it up as if they were having a meal.
"Chi Qiu, He Xia, in a few days, it will be the Mu Qiu ceremony. You two will buy two new clothes while there is no class tomorrow." Jiang Chiqiu's mother said during the meal.
"Mu Qiu Ceremony?" After hearing what her mother said, Jiang Chiqiu quickly repeated the keyword in her words. As he was speaking, Jiang Chiqiu realized that this ceremony should be the reason why many people have flocked to the capital in recent times.
"Yes," the woman smiled and nodded. She continued to say to Jiang Chiqiu, "Every year when the autumn harvest is about to be approached, Zhufengguan will hold a ceremony for the Muqiu, which is hosted by the National Master himself. All people can come to the capital to watch, so I don't know if you have noticed that since the past few days, many people have flocked to the capital, and they all came for the Muqiu ceremony."
"I noticed it." Jiang Chiqiu nodded obediently when he heard this.
Jiang Chiqiu's parents were still chatting, and from their conversation, Jiang Chiqiu also learned that the Muqiu ceremony was the most important event of the dynasty.
This ceremony is to pray for the agricultural harvest of this dynasty, and it is important in this agricultural society.
A few years ago, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia were still very young, so they never participated in this event.
Since this year, they have entered the palace to go to school. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Jiang Chiqiu's parents decided to take them to participate in this event this year.
When he heard that his mother had just said she wanted to take her to make new clothes, Jiang Hexia was immediately excited before she could eat.
Jiang Chiqiu was originally not interested in buying clothes and other things. However, being infected by the atmosphere at the dining table, Jiang Chiqiu also looked forward to the Muqiu ceremony a few days later.
Jiang Chiqiu tried to recall what kind of event this ceremony was, but disappointingly, the original owner was too young.
His memories of last year were vague and he could not find any useful content from it.
However, Jiang Chiqiu was not in a hurry, after all, this ceremony was about to begin.
The next day, Jiang Chiqiu's mother did, as she said yesterday, asks the weaving department, which specializes in serving the nobles in Beijing, to bring all the beautiful fabrics, and asks Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia to choose at home, and finally tailor them to tailor their clothes.
Since he came to this world, Jiang Chiqiu has found that he seems a little fat. But his body is just a child and cannot lose weight. So after trying to eat less and finding that his figure has not changed, Jiang Chiqiu desperately gave up his plan.
Finally, Jiang Chiqiu chose a sky blue fabric casually, which was also beautiful and fresh.
Now Jiang Hexia, who is eight years old, has a sense of love for beauty, so this time she spent an hour trying to choose a light pink one from a pile of fabrics.
The tailor that Mrs. Jiang found was very efficient. She just tailored them here, but after a few clothes, she was sent over. At this time, the Muqiu ceremony was about to begin.
———————
Jiang Chiqiu's skin was originally white. When he wore this ice-blue dress, he looked as noble and cute as a New Year's doll.
Seeing his current appearance, even Jiang Chiqiu's sister Jiang Hexia couldn't help but pinch Jiang Chiqiu's face several times when her parents were not paying attention.
Jiang Chiqiu: “…”
Before Jiang Chiqiu could protest, the carriage they were riding in had slowly stopped.
The people in the palace pulled the curtains of the car for them. After seeing the scene outside, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia immediately became quiet.
"Miss Jiang, Mr. Jiang." The people in the palace saluted them, then moved a stair carved with exquisite wooden patterns, and helped them slowly walk down the carriage.
This is a tall building specially built for this ceremony in the capital.
This building is as high as ten stories, and such height and form are very rare in ancient times.
Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia, who were still playing just now, were also shocked by the momentum of this tall building.
They stared at the tall building quietly, and then, under the guidance of their mother, climbed the tall building all the way.
Before going up to this tall building, Jiang Chiqiu really didn't know what the scenery was on the other side of the building. When he waited to go up to this tall building, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but be surprised.
He saw that the other side of the tall building turned out to be a huge square.
At this time, the square was full of people. Looking down from where Jiang Chiqiu is now, you can only see dense black shadows at first glance.
All of these people were people who came to the capital to attend the Muqiu Ceremony.
Jiang Chiqiu's eyes were very good, so he could tell at a glance that all the people standing in the square were looking at the tall buildings with a pious look on their faces.
Not only Jiang Chiqiu, but even Jiang Hexia, who was really just a child, shut up and stopped talking.
Although Jiang Chiqiu's mother is of grade, Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia are just two children.
They come to participate in such activities and cannot sit in a very good position.
Therefore, in order to accompany them, Mrs. Jiang sat in a place close to the outside of the high-rise building with Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia.
Although this place is far away from the place where the main hall is held in Yiqiu, you can see the people below more clearly.
Although Jiang Chiqiu often saw them on the way to and from school, he had never carefully observed these people who came to the capital for the Mu Qiu Ceremony.
Now he finally had time to look out, but the next moment Jiang Chiqiu frowned.
——He found that almost all the people who came to the capital to participate in the Muqiu Ceremony were pale and skinny.
Logically speaking, it is already autumn, but this time, many people who came to the capital are not warm at all, and it is obviously not what they should wear this season.
Seeing these people now, Jiang Chiqiu finally realized one thing - the world he had lived in for several months may be a little different from what he originally thought.
Since Jiang Chiqiu came to this world, he has been living in the capital. In the capital, the places he often goes to are his home and the imperial palace.
No matter from which perspective, this is the most prosperous place in the world.
Jiang Chiqiu didn't know what kind of world it was outside the imperial city.
Now that the Mu Qiu ceremony has not officially begun, and after seeing these people outside the building, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't help but gently pull his mother's sleeve, and then asked her: "Mom, look at these people outside..."
Jiang Chiqiu did not finish his words, but Mrs. Jiang understood what he meant.
When Jiang Chiqiu saw that the woman in purple sitting beside him suddenly sighed. Then her eyes became a little sad.
"All of these people came from outside the capital." Mrs. Jiang shook her head gently and said to Jiang Chiqiu.
When he heard his mother talking to Jiang Chiqiu, Jiang Hexia, who was sitting on the other side, came up curiously.
"We have always lived in Baofan City, the capital, so we have never felt the situation outside. In fact, outside Baofan City, there have been snow and droughts for three consecutive years... Therefore, the grain is underpaid every year. This is why so many people have come to participate in the Muqiu Ceremony..."
After Mrs. Jiang said this, she suddenly realized that the two children who were listening to her were not even ten years old. When they said this to them, they might not understand what the general controller meant.
After realizing this, Jiang Chiqiu's mother stopped talking. The woman just smiled slightly, then reached out and gently touched Jiang Hexia's head.
Although Jiang Hexia didn't quite understand what had happened just now, the girl stopped talking after discovering that her mother's mood was obviously depressed.
Just in the midst of silence, the Muqiu ceremony finally officially began.
Although Jiang Chiqiu and his team are currently on this tall building, the location is not very good. Except for being able to clearly see the people in front of them, the rest of the scene was blocked.
For example, Jiang Chiqiu couldn't see those high-ranking officials, but he was not interested in these things - after all, Jiang Chiqiu had been in the palace and his family all day long, and had long been used to meeting those big names.
When the Emperor and Empress appeared, Jiang Chiqiu just glanced roughly in the direction they were coming, and then he retracted his sight.
The last time Jiang Chiqiu and Jiang Hexia went to Zhufeng Temple together, they did not meet the national master himself.
This time when the Muqiu ceremony began, he saw the appearance of the national master.
The national teacher, like the boy Jiang Chiqiu saw in Zhufeng Temple at that time, was wearing white clothes. He looked about thirty or forty years old, and his figure was very thin, and he did feel like he was not a mortal.
But this is not what Jiang Chiqiu is most concerned about.
He sat in a relatively back seat and could clearly see the reactions of the people.
So in just a few minutes, Jiang Chiqiu discovered something very magical - when this national teacher appeared, the people's attitude was even more excited than seeing the emperor and the queen.
Even though they knew they could not give a gift to the national guru, when they saw him appearing here, a few people in front of them knelt down and kowtowed to him.
These people's attitude towards the national teacher is so enthusiastic...
