In December of the sixth year of the first century. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The north wind began to howl and rag in the middle of the night, waking countless people from their sweet dreams, and they could no longer close their eyes, for fear that their houses would not be able to withstand the manic wind, but fortunately, the heavy snow that had been fluttering for five days stopped at the same time as the wind rose, making all the officials up and down Jing Zhaoyin breathe a sigh of relief.

In the first year of Taichu, after the reform of the calendar, the Han Dynasty took the third day after the winter solstice as the wax day, which was the year-end sacrifice, up to the Son of Heaven, down to the ordinary officials and people to sacrifice to the ancestors and gods, if something happened on this day, it affected the big sacrifice, it must be a commotion in the world, and the people were uneasy.

Because of the heavy snowfall, Jingzhao Yin Jun did not even have time to prepare for his own sacrifice.

Wax is a very ancient festival that originated from ancient times. At that time, the Chinese ancestors still used the October solar calendar, the month was fixed as 36 days, the ten solar calendar months were 360 days, and the remaining 5 to 6 days were used as New Year's Day, not counted in the month, called the day of rest, that is, the day of the month, when the day of the day is over, it is the first day of January of the October calendar, which is the beginning of the new year. Later, the ancestors changed the calendar to the twelve-month lunar calendar, but the custom of the day has been retained, the next day of the day, also known as the little new year, all the rituals are the same as the New Year.

However, in different periods, the name of wax is not the same, "Rite Biography" notes: "Xia said Jiaping, Yin said Qing ritual, Zhou said Da wax." "Qin used the Zhou system at the beginning of the year, the history of Qin Huiwen King "December early wax", the first emperor unified Liuhe but changed to the summer system, renamed "wax" for "Jiaping", after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, reuse the Zhou system, however, until the first year of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty set the day of the day in the day, when the Taishi Deng Cheng to the Son of Heaven said: "The person who is the person of the wax is so cold to send the virtue also, too cold, often afraid of the victory of the yin, so the day of the wax." The warmth of the person is also. ”

Generally speaking, there are a total of five days before and after the wax, starting from the day before the wax day, fasting and sweeping and drumming to drive away the epidemic, which is called expulsion; The next day, that is, the day of La, sacrifice to the ancestors and worship the gods; On the third day, also known as the Little New Year, it is like the New Year's Day to enter the wine and séance, and it enters the wine to respect the elders, and cultivates the assassination of He Jun, the teacher, and the elderly; Such as Zhengdan. On the fourth day, the festival is held again, which is called the "steaming festival"; On the fifth day, the mound. After the burial mound, it is necessary to invite the clan, marriage, and guest travel, and talk about good harmony and etiquette, so as to be gracious.

In addition, for ordinary people, the meaning of wax is more - like Fu, wax is a day of rest and rest.

On such a day, Chang'an City is lively, after the end of the family sacrifice, all the residents of Gyeonggi City concentrate on Chang'an City, in addition to the Imperial Palace, Chang'an's eight streets and nine mo, east and west four cities, are all shoulder to shoulder surging crowds.

Jun Budo's heart that had just been put down was raised again, and all the officials and deacons of the Jingzhao Yin official office were sent out to maintain law and order in the capital.

On such a day, even if you close your home, you can hear the boiling noise, and the joy that ensues is irresistible.

Of course, there are people who can resist.

- For example, Liu is ill.

On the days of sacrificing ancestors, no one will entertain guests in their homes, not to mention that the suzerain of the Zhang family is Zhang Anshi, and Zhang He's family still needs to go to Zhang Anshi's home to participate in the sacrifice, so Liu Yi can only stay in the court.

On this day, the court was deserted.

- The nobles were busy with the sacrifices, and the slaves and maids were either resting or following their masters with the sacrifices.

Liu Zhi no longer knew what he should do.

He is not qualified to participate in the royal sacrifices, and in the court, he is not qualified to sacrifice his ancestors privately.

Since he understood the meaning of the wax day, every year on the wax day, Liu Yi has locked himself in the room and stayed in a quiet daze.

Every year on this day, he will not be able to clearly realize what a tragic life he has......

- The more sober he is, the more clearly he can appreciate the pain that permeates the desolation!

That pain will make Liu Yi already ask himself in his heart - when will he be able to worship his father and ancestor in a dignified manner?

The voice of the questioning would continue to echo in his heart until the end of the day......

- It's not enough just to end the day, there are also Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day......

In any case, Liu Yi never thought that there would be any difference in the sixth year of the first century, until Xu Guanghan suddenly came to knock on the door.

- Actually, this house is also Xu Guanghan's residence, but on days like La, if there is no accident, after being on duty, Xu Guanghan will leave the palace and go home, so naturally he will not have any opinion on Liu Ai's move to lock the door.

Liu Yi was already unexpected, but he still quickly opened the door, blinked his eyes, and asked him curiously: "Xu Cheng is not returning home today?" ”

Xu Guanghan touched his head with pity, did not answer his question, but said: "Someone from the other side of the weaving room door has sent a message in, saying that it is your great-grandson, your friend, and wants to invite you to play together." ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a while, no one answered, and his body had already subconsciously moved—he took a step back—and then, he shook his head and refused: "I don't want to play." ”

- He is not in the mood to have fun, let alone not to worry about others?

Xu Guanghan didn't know that Liu Ai had always behaved, so he persuaded him very eagerly: "La, this is a day of indulgence in the people's feasting, sacrificing ancestors and gods in the hope of getting a more pleasant life, great-grandchildren don't want to have fun, isn't it unkind?" Never! ”

His eyes widened, he didn't blink, staring intently at the young man in front of him, with the meaning of "you refuse to try".

Liu Yi couldn't cry or laugh, but he had to reluctantly agree: "What Xu Cheng said is very true. ”

Xu Guanghan nodded happily: "That's it!" A child has the appearance of a child! Like my daughter, who is about the same age as you, has been clamoring since three or five days ago that she wants to go to Hengqiao to watch a hundred operas......"

Liu Yi has been living in the same room with Xu Guanghan for not a day or two, seeing him mention his daughter, his expression immediately changed, he pushed him out with a dry smile, and hurriedly said: "I'll change my clothes, I want to come and my friend is still waiting for me at the door of ......the weaving room."

Because he couldn't say more about his daughter, Xu Guanghan was very dissatisfied with the young man's actions, but the young man was also telling the truth, staring at the reclosed door for a while, the eunuch of the big Han touched his nose, pursed his lips, and told himself - don't be like a child!

After changing into a new set of clothes, Liu Yi had already tried to smile at the bronze mirror, and after trying a few times, the corners of his lips found the right curvature, although it was still not happy, but it finally looked less stiff.

Maintaining the curvature of the corners of his lips, Liu Yi had already opened the door and was facing Xu Guanghan's concerned gaze, and couldn't help but smile even brighter.

"Xu Cheng?" Seeing that Xu Guanghan had been staring at him, looking seriously from top to bottom, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

Xu Guanghan was very satisfied with Liu Aiji's dress, touched his head, and said with a smile: "The great-grandson is so good-looking!" Have fun. While praising Liu Aiji's good appearance, he handed him the entry and exit talismans, and explained indifferently: "I have registered for you, you can play with peace of mind, anyway, there is no prohibition in Lazhong, and you can return to the palace at any time." ”

Liu Yi had already received the talisman, saluted gratefully, and walked to the door of the weaving room, and along the way, he couldn't stop guessing - who invited him?

- Zhang Pengzu? Or Du Tuo?

Liu Ai has a lot of friends, but there are only a handful of people who can still think of him on this day, and who have the ability to let the palace gate spread the word to the forbidden place.

When he arrived at the door of the weaving room, Liu Yiji realized that he had guessed wrong.

- It turned out to be a general acquaintance of a new acquaintance.

- Jin Anshang, the nephew of the late Che Cavalry General and Marquis Jin Ilyan.

"Jin Gongzi."

Now that he is here, it is not easy for Liu Yi to turn back, so he can only greet Jin Anshang politely.

Liu Ai's impression of Jin Riyan is already very vague, but every time he remembers it, he feels touched in his heart, as if a spark suddenly splashes on his heart.

- It made it impossible for him to hate Kim Ansang.

- Despite the sudden appearance of this person around him and the process of getting acquainted with him, he still couldn't refuse the approach of Jin Anshang.

- However, invite to have fun in Lari...... It seems that some exceed ......

Liu Yi was already thinking silently, and the words of rejection were already jumping on the tip of his tongue......

"The great-grandson has finally come out! There's fun! Come with me! As soon as Jin An saw him, he ran over with a happy face, and kept saying as he pulled him towards his carriage, "...... And all the people who were outside the city were coming to the city, but they did not know that all the people of the city were going out of the city...... What's going on in town this time of year? Of course, it's better to go up to the original outside the city! ”

In the end, Liu Ying still didn't say a word of refusal, just got into the carriage on Jin An with a smile on his face.

The door of the carriage was tightly sealed, and Liu Ying no longer knew where the car was going, so he couldn't help frowning: "Where to go?" ”

"Go out from the Zhangcheng Gate, but to the south of the city." Jin Anshang rubbed his hands excitedly, but Liu Yiji's uneasiness was very obvious, he thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile, "Peng Zu, Ah Tuo, they will also go." “

Seeing that Liu Ai's eyes lit up, Jin Anshang couldn't help but smile: "The two of them want to come, but unfortunately, they all have to participate in the sacrifice at home, and it is a great luck to be able to go out in the afternoon!" Our family is a Huns, and there are not as many rules as the Han people in Lari......"

Although the Jin family has been in the Han Dynasty for many years and is a high-ranking lord, this kind of thing can be changed in a day or two, not to mention that this kind of thing must be sincere.

Of course, the young head of the Jin family is also one of the reasons.

Thinking that Zhang Pengzu and Du Tuo were still worshiping their ancestors in the family temple at this time, and after that, they had to worship the gods five times, which were all very cumbersome rituals, Liu Ying couldn't help but laugh gloatingly.

After laughing, the helpless and gloomy hurt in my heart seemed to have really been swept away...... At least, it's faded to the point where it's not noticeable......

Liu Yi waved his hand, as if he was really waving something, and at the same time asked Jin Anshang with bright eyes: "What's so fun?" ”

Jin Anshang was just about to speak, but he closed his mouth again, smiling very happily, looking at Liu Yi's already surprised look, he couldn't help but smile even more happily.

- There is no need for him to answer anymore.

The wind howled outside the car, and it also brought a distant sound, which was faint, but gradually clear.

"Woo Woo ......"

I don't know how many dogs barked excitedly in the windy snow. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
