Chapter 549: Four-Colored Spring Cow
"Ouch, our young master Haoran has a sweetheart?" Shangguan Haoran's nurse and Mrs. Shangguan's personal grandmother, Mother Zhao, walked over and asked while smiling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Young Master Haoran, tell me quickly, whose girl is so lucky that she can be taken by you?"
Shangguan Haoran didn't say yes or no, he just smirked, "I don't know her mind yet, so you are not allowed to guess blindly, and you are not allowed to mess around, this time I want to come by myself." ”
Mrs. Shangguan saw that he didn't look like a lie, so her heart relaxed. As long as she doesn't like the young lady of the Wang family, anyone else, she has the ability to marry her son.
As soon as he was in a good mood, he immediately asked Zhao's mother to take five hundred taels of silver tickets and a dozen taels of broken silver, and stuffed them all into Shangguan Haoran's money bag, "Take my sister to have a good time, buy what you want to buy, don't save money, the money is not enough for the little girl to come back and get it, the last thing our Shangguan family lacks is money." ”
Shangguan Haoran looked at the bulging money bag, he was in a better mood, he used to have a maximum of two or three hundred taels in the money bag every day, but now it has doubled all of a sudden.
"Mother is the best, and Mama Zhao is good. Then I'll go!" Shangguan Haoran immediately burst into a lotus flower, and praised Mrs. Shangguan and Mother Zhao fiercely, and then took Shangguan Chaodi and rushed to the county seat in a sedan chair.
……
Zeng Anxin sat on the ox cart, took out the snacks brought by Mrs. Zhang from Zhangjiazhai, and ate them, while looking at the surrounding scenery, he felt really comfortable.
The sedan chair of the mayor of Shangguan Town was at the front, and then the ox carts in the fang, the ox carts of each village, and finally the people of the town guards.
The people of the town guard did not come to escort them, but to escort the spring mud and materials for making spring cattle.
This spring cow should be made of mulberry wood, and the day after the winter solstice festival is specially used as the skeleton of the spring cow.
The spring ox also has a uniform size, which must be four feet tall, three feet six inches long, and eight feet long at the head and tail, symbolizing four hours, eight festivals, and three hundred and sixty-five days.
There are also regulations on the color of the soil used to knead spring cattle: the spring cattle in the east of the city should be cyan, the south of the city should be red, the west of the city should be white, and the north of the city should be black.
Taoyuan Town is in the southeast of Taoyuan County, so the colors of the soil they carried this time were cyan and red.
The green mud is made by Taoyuan Village, while the red mud is made by Shengli Village, and the five grains filled with tripe are carefully selected by the farmers who collect hundreds of rice grains.
On the day of the winter solstice, the three big men of Taoyuan County and Taoyuan Town and Qingshui Town cut it down with their own hands, and let the craftsmen who have been engaged in spring cattle making for many years keep it.
Taoyuan Town has made great contributions this year, first, the output and quality of ingots tea are very high, especially the batch of tribute ingots sent to the palace, the quality is even better, which makes the Shengshang Longxin happy;
The second is that Taoyuan Village actually turned over and sang, these two points made Wang County Ling decide to hand over the most important core work to Taoyuan Town to do, and Qingshui Town is responsible for other related chores.
When the ox convoy in Taoyuan Town reached the halfway point, it met the ox convoy in Qingshui Town, and the two sides simply nodded their heads, which was regarded as greeting, and continued to catch up.
Zeng Anxin asked Tao Hai quietly, "Grandpa the village chief, why does it look like the atmosphere is not very good?"
Tao Hai smiled and said softly, "In previous years, the core part of the production of spring cattle was taken care of by Qingshui Town, and our Taoyuan Town could only be responsible for chores. ”
Tao Yi also said beside him, "Even if it's useless to be kind now, when the time comes to compete with the Spring Cow, it's not like you're going to compete." ”
What is Saichun Niu? Zeng An's eyes were full of little stars, and he looked at Tao Yi eagerly.
The nerd Tao Yi's face turned red, and he explained softly.
It turns out that the production of spring mud is made in four directions, otherwise why do you want four colors, it is natural to make your own spring cattle in each city.
The spring cattle to be used in the spring are the second and third places in the competition, and the really best first place spring cattle are to be sent to the Liuxian Hall to be offered, which is a great honor.
Tao Hai also nodded and touched his beard, "If our young cattle from Taoyuan Village can be sent to Liuxian Hall, it will not only be recorded in the Taoyuan County Chronicle, but also indicate that this year will be a bumper year." ”
For the people, there is nothing more attractive than the word harvest.
The sedan chair of the mayor of Shangguan in front suddenly stopped, he got off the sedan chair, and everyone also followed closely to get out of the ox cart, Anxin still didn't understand, kept looking at it, and when it was her turn to look, she found that there was a tall and magnificent archway building in front of her.
There are three big characters on the book that the dragon flies and the phoenix dances: Chunyuan Gate
It is the archway building given by the emperor himself, no wonder everyone got off the car and walked, and the mayor of Shangguan also lit incense and ordered people to set off firecrackers to show respect.
Anxin naturally bowed to the locals, and heard the whispers next to him, "I heard that this year's Chunyuan archway has been rebuilt, and it is more magnificent." ”
"Then of course, Lord Wang in Taoyuan County's first spring sacrifice sentence Mangshen ceremony, can not be grand? When the time comes, carry the spring ox, start from the county government, through Humin Street, Shunmin Street, from the gate of the Chunyuan archway, go to Liuxian Hall, in front of Liuxian Hall to welcome the spring activities, how lively, how spectacular. ”
Zeng Anxin's blood boiled when she heard it, she couldn't miss such a lively ancient folk activity. I remember that the grandfather of the village chief said that after the three-day spring cattle making competition, it was the spring child audition, and she must participate, and successfully promoted to become one of the spring children in the spring activity.
If you become a spring child, you can not only participate in various activities justifiably, but also feast your eyes.
And the village chief's grandfather also said that the treatment of Chuntong is high, not only has a beautiful new clothes to get, but also wages, although I don't know how much it is for the time being, but it can be more than a penny, and it is naturally beneficial to upgrade the space, so that it can be promoted to the first level as soon as possible, so that the mother and the eldest brother can meet.
At about half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the people of the two towns finally managed to reach the playground in the back hall of the county government. This place is very large, and now it has been blocked by a curtain, divided into two, the left side is still the place where the county lord trains soldiers, and the right side is changed to a place for temporary spring cattle.
Mayor Shangguan and Mayor Gao of Qingshui Town naturally hurriedly led the people of the escort team and walked towards the front, wanting to meet with the county master and listen to the instructions.
Anxin looked around, only to see that the field has been divided into four grids, namely Taoyuan Village in the east, Shengli Village in the south, Majiabao in the west, and Zhuyuan Village in the north.
The tools in each grid are the same, and Anxin followed Yu Dayong, jumping over, looking around curiously.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a scarf walked over, and Tao Hai saw that Luo Dabao and the village chiefs of the other two villages had walked over, and he quickly got up and walked over.
"I've seen Master Ou. (To be continued.) )
