Chapter 172: Sacrificial Stove
Twenty-three, sacrificial stove pass, this is a custom that has been passed down among the people!
Legend has it that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Lord of the Stove will report to the Jade Emperor the good and evil of the family for a year, and the Jade Emperor will hand over the fate of the good fortune and misfortune that the family should get in the new year to the Lord of the Stove according to the report of the Lord of the Stove. The ritual of sending the god of the stove is called "sending the stove" or "the stove of resignation", the people offer red candles and sugar melons, and send the god of the stove to heaven with a grand ceremony, praying that the god of the stove "says good things in the heavens, and the lower realm descends auspicious".
Many of the customs of this dynasty are the same as those of the modern countryside! Wake up early, and the Hu family began to prepare things for the evening sacrifice stove!
This year's days have passed, so the Li family has prepared a very hearty meal, not only all kinds of dried fructose, steamed buns, but also a large piece of boiled meat! Everyone is unusually pious, after all, in their eyes, this is related to the fortune of the coming year!
At night, on the stove in the kitchen, there are neatly placed offerings, and there is an incense burner in the middle! As the head of the family, Li Qingshan led everyone to light incense and candles, knelt in front of the stove, and sincerely prayed for a smooth wind and rain in the coming year!
Offering the farmer's homemade stove candy and inviting the stove prince to eat, the meaning is to buy the stove prince and let him not go to the Jade Emperor to say bad things, and also, it is to stick the stove prince's mouth with sugar!
After a period of prayer and prayer, Li Qingshan took the lead in getting up, and the Li family got up together!
"Alright, let's eat!" After inviting the Lord of the Stove, everyone can start eating, Li Qingshan spoke!
The daughters-in-law cleaned up the things used in the sacrificial stove before preparing to eat. It also indicates that the New Year is really coming! The Li family is in a happy atmosphere!
The capital is also full of lights and is very lively! After accompanying Emperor Dongfang Luo to lead the ministers to worship the god of the stove. Dongfang Ye went back to his palace, he didn't like this kind of lively and noisy occasion, of course Dongfang Luo wouldn't embarrass him for this little thing!
Today, Situ Rui is also very happy, at least in the depressed days of the capital, it is a very happy thing to receive a gift from the Li family in a village far away in Zhixi County!
He really didn't expect the Li family to send him a New Year's gift! Surprise! Received something that Shopkeeper Li asked people to copy. Situ Rui couldn't wait to open it and take a look, although they were all ordinary farmhouse dishes and dry goods, Situ Rui just thought it was very good. It's better than the priceless jade sent by others!
"Young master, the Li family said that this other one is for Dongfang Gongzi!" The guy in charge of running errands conveyed the meaning of the Li family in his original words!
"Okay, I got it. Go down and claim your reward! Situ Rui was in a good mood. Naturally, the guy who is in charge of running errands has a lot of reward, but I didn't expect this time it was a fat difference, and the guy was holding a heavy silver tael, happily waiting for the young master's orders!
Seeing that Young Master Situ pulled a big push and didn't know what it was, and came to the palace, the guards at the door widened their eyes one by one, what was the gray and not slippery? When did Young Master Situ have this taste? But no one dared to stop it!
"Night, see what I brought you?" As always, the appearance mode. Situ Rui was always yelling, breaking the quiet atmosphere of the palace!
watched Situ Rui directly ask people to move those bottles and cans into the study. Dongfang Ye didn't even raise his head, for Situ Rui's various exaggerations, Dongfang Ye was already very calm!
"Night, you really don't look at it? This was sent by Li Hui all the way to someone! I've eaten it all and everything is delicious! Situ Rui saw the appearance of Dongfang Ye, and couldn't help but say, I really want to be so calm all day long!
"Put it down!" Dongfang Ye heard that it was sent by the Li family, and not only remembered the little girl's smile in his mind, sometimes it was simple, sometimes it was like a little fox, but I didn't expect to think about myself, Dongfang Ye was in a good mood for no reason, even if it was the sacrificial stove at night, I didn't feel so boring! However, he is not good at expressing himself, and what Situ Rui sees is still his expressionless face!
Situ Rui just sat like this, his mouth kept clicking and chewing, even if he came to the palace, he didn't stop eating, in the study of the Oriental Night, he threw peanut skins everywhere, and he didn't see it at all!
"Han, throw him out!" Dongfang Ye really couldn't stand the sound of clicking in his ears, looked up at the garbage on the ground, Dongfang Ye ordered directly!
"Hey, hey, night, don't take you like this, cross the river and tear down the bridge, I just sent something to you" and then there was no more, because the cold got the order of Dongfang Ye, he directly carried Situ Rui and threw it out of the palace, and the world was a lot quieter all of a sudden!
Situ Rui patted his buttocks, and it was like this again, without any warning, he was thrown out again! Situ Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes at the palace!
At noon, the housekeeper Zhu Fu obviously felt that his prince's mood was much better, and he specially ordered to send the things sent by Situ Rui! The housekeeper really didn't expect those small dishes and pickles to be able to get into the eyes of the prince, and he even ate an extra bowl of rice!
You must know that your own prince is very picky when eating, and he usually only eats the meals made by his own chef, and only eats a little like that, and he feels distressed when he sees it, but he didn't expect those small pickles to have such a big effect!
"Alright, put the rest away!" Dongfang was full of food and drink at night, and his mood was very smooth, the Li family's dishes were really hungry and appetizing, and he didn't expect that he would have such a good appetite for the day!
"By the way, wrap some of everything, and I'll send it to the imperial brother!" Dongfang Ye suddenly ordered, and the housekeeper was startled, but he still complied, I don't know if the emperor can eat these mountain and wild dishes!
After the meal, Dongfang Ye suddenly felt a little lazy and didn't want to do anything, which had never happened before, and then Dongfang Ye followed Situ Rui's example, took a peanut, peeled it by himself for the first time, and put it in his mouth.
I didn't expect the taste to be really good, Dongfang Ye ate a lot of it in a row, until I felt a little supportive, and then let the next person take it away!
In the afternoon, Dongfang Ye went to the palace with the prepared things, and specially told him to let the imperial brother taste it tomorrow!
"Night, you're here, let's start when you're ready!" Emperor Dongfang Luo took Dongfang Ye to appear last, and the ministers had been waiting for a long time, this was an unusually grand thing Dongfang Luo was very pious, praying that God would let the wind and rain in Tanglin be smooth, and the people's lives would be richer in the coming year!
Everything is according to the usual practice, under the leadership of Dongfang Luo, the sacrifice stove was successfully completed, and then the ministers can go home, after all, Chinese New Year's Eve, it is better to reunite, Dongfang Ye is directly rushed back to the royal mansion, I feel that my own food is delicious, much better than the palace, in fact, it is the role of the Li family's New Year's ceremony!
