Jinnianfu

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the forty-third year of Jiajing, the moon in the Shen family mansion was exceptionally round. This is not because the celestial phenomena are different, but because Mrs. Wang, the wife of the third wife, ordered her servants to shape the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of Wangyue Tower half a month in advance into a spherical shape, saying it was "in time for the occasion". At this moment, the whole courtyard is filled with the fragrance of cinnamon mixed with the burnt aroma of crab oil, flowing through the draft into every corner, making people's internal organs scream.
