I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

You are the governor now, so please don't do anything. If he dares to come back, I will find a way to make him unable to stay in the village!

Zhai Qingya immediately raised his eyebrows in a serious tone: "As expected, it's still the girl I know. She's amazing."

He paused and changed the subject, a faint smile in his eyes: "Those villains are inevitably annoying, why don't you consider moving to Hedong County, your brother is studying there, you can go there to reunite as a family, and I can also protect your family..."

"Brother Ya?"

When Xiao Yan ran back from the backyard with eggs in his arms, he saw the person next to Jiang Yue in the pavilion. Wasn't this Brother Ya from the Zhai family?

After he stepped forward and greeted them, he suddenly remembered his eldest brother's advice, "If you meet acquaintances here, be sure to stay away. Don't let others know your identity." He hesitated for a moment and did not move forward.

Zhai Qingya turned his head to look and saw a boy of about six or seven years old with two pigtails and an egg in his coarse cloth pocket.

"Xiao Yan, why are you here? Where is your brother?"

Xiao Yan had already turned around and ran away, saying, "It's not me. You've made a mistake."

Jiang Yue smiled and told her about Xiao Che asking her to look after his brother. As for how the two knew each other, she did not mention the soap workshop relationship, but only said that she accidentally saved Xiao Yan who was choking.

Zhai Qingya and Xiao Che had known each other since childhood, but they gradually became estranged because he was on the side of the crown prince. This was a struggle for imperial power. Once the crown prince fell, no matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, the crown prince's faction would definitely be the first to be suppressed.

Zhai Qingya suppressed the idea of ​​asking her to move to Hedong County, perhaps he should wait until the situation in the court was more stable.

After harvesting the rice, they had to force themselves to harvest the soybeans and millet.

Jiang Youshan, who used to be full of energy, was so tired that he lay on the kang for two days without getting out of bed.

Cai felt distressed: "Silly boy, you have to carry it all by yourself. You can hire someone after the festival when the villagers are done with their work. You must be exhausted."

Jiang Youshan chuckled: "It will be good to celebrate the festival if we receive the food back home."

The whole family is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. All they have to do is buy some mooncakes and fruits and cook some delicious dishes.

Cai was not feeling well, so Jiang Yue said she wanted to pack up some food from Hedong County for her family.

Cai scolded: "Yue'er, I'm not feeling well now, I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

Jiang Yue held Cai's hand and said, "I want to eat 'Wuchang Gongzi' from Zuixianlou. Can you do it, mother?"

"Mr. Wu Gut" is actually a crab. The ancients believed that crabs have no intestines, so they used this title to describe crabs. Some elegant restaurants use this as the name of their dishes. Jiang Yue also learned about it when she went to see Jiang Ming.

"Mr. Gutless?"

Jiang Yue giggled: "But mom, you can't eat it. I'll bring you a portion of your favorite 'Maple Leaf Red Flower' when the time comes."

Jiang Youshan lay on the bed: "Yue'er, what are these dishes? They sound weird. How come I have never heard of them?"

"You will know when the time comes."

Jiang Yue drove the carriage to pick up Jiang Ming. Jiang Youshan got up from the bed and followed.

Jiang Ming and his classmate Zhang Bao had already packed their luggage and were waiting for her. Zhang Bao said that there were few people at home, and he wanted to go to Jiang Ming's house to complete the family.

Jiang Youshan is naturally welcome. He builds good relationships with his classmates and is not bullied.

In the evening, a large table was set up in the yard, with 18 plates of cold and hot dishes, as well as peaches, grapes, and pomegranates, but pears were not allowed on the table. In addition, there was a large plate of mooncakes.

Everyone, young and old, male or female, sat at the table, and it was crowded and lively.

Zhang Bao took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and talked about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival: "In the last years of the previous dynasty, the tax rate of the dynasty was as high as one-third. Foreign races were in chaos. After the common people paid taxes all year round, they could not even eat enough. Every family had people starving to death. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people hid notes saying "kill foreign enemies" and "take action together on August 15th" in baked small round cakes and passed them to each other. On the night of August 15th, every household took action together and killed the bad guys who occupied the country. Later, our Daqian Dynasty had the custom of eating moon cakes."

Everyone cheered and raised their glasses to celebrate.

Jiang Lei then told another story: "It is said that a long time ago, ten suns appeared in the sky. People could not stand the heat and all the crops withered. There was a hero named Houyi, who was extremely powerful, just like my elder sister, very angry. He climbed Mount Kunlun, drew his bow and shot arrows, and shot down nine suns... Houyi missed his wife, so he placed Chang'e's favorite fruits and moon cakes in her favorite back garden to commemorate her. When the people heard about it, they also set up incense tables under the moon and prayed to the kind Chang'e for good luck and peace.

Everyone then shouted "good" and raised their glasses to celebrate.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan also talked about the origin of the moon worship: "A long time ago, there was a family living in a time of war, and they were separated from each other... Later, with the help of the family's teaching of making mooncakes, after going through various hardships, the grandparents, parents and children of this family were reunited. The mooncake recipe was given to them by the fairy on the moon. Before this day, which is August 15th, this family would put out mooncakes to thank the fairy, and later it became a tradition."

Jiang Yue just felt happy in her heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Open the door, it's four o'clock in the evening.

"Why are you here? It's so late, come in quickly. Let's eat together."

Ye Si sniffed and came in: "Oh, it smells so good, there are so many dishes."

As he spoke, he brought a box from behind him and said, "My eldest son asked me to bring some over for everyone to taste. The mooncakes in the capital are different from those here."

Jiang Youshan took the box and arranged for Ye Si to sit at the table. Ye Si was not polite and started eating the food with big mouthfuls: "I have been rushing all the way, and finally I made it."

The box was opened, revealing exquisite mooncakes wrapped in oil paper, in red and green, each one only bite-sized, making it hard to eat.

"So beautiful! This green one looks like it was carved from jade. I can't bear to eat it."

"What's the big deal? Hurry up and share it. This is not something that can be kept away by jade."

Jiang Yue pinched a red one and put it in her mouth. It was made of red beans and tasted good.

Seeing that everyone was too embarrassed to move, Cai took some and shared them with everyone: "Yue'er is right, there is no way to put away the food, everyone should try it."

Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Aunt Cai, I don't want to eat this, I want to eat a piece of boiled corn."

"Okay, eat more if you like."

Tread-tap-

"Oh, is that the sound of horse hooves?"

"Hurry into the house—"

Jiang Yue frowned. This was a cavalry team, and there were a lot of them.

Everyone was busy packing their things into the house when a loud noise came from outside.

Someone shouted: "The bandits have entered the village!"

"There are horse thieves!"

There was a chaotic sound of screams and running.

"Dad and Mom, you are not allowed to come out. Big brother, you stay in the house. I'm going to go to Aunt Cai's house to check on her."
