Chapter 494: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
81_81309 A violent run of Jiuding made almost everyone in the Hou Mansion of Heavenly Sin injured.
Just as they were falling asleep, a well-equipped army of more than 20,000 people came out of the palace and surrounded a prince's mansion on three floors inside and three layers outside.
People are talking about what this team is going to do.
But at midnight, when the voices of people came from one after another in the Hou Mansion, the army left quietly, as if it had never appeared.
This kind of behavior makes everyone scratch their heads.
It wasn't until three days later that the gates of the palace opened again, and the procession, dressed in joyful clothes, arrived at the gate of a prince's mansion and sang loudly, the purpose of which was to invite the heavenly sin into the palace.
He went and said a few words to the lord of the country, who was losing weight as if it was difficult.
And then he came out, and it was as if nothing had happened.
It's just that the rumors of Nan Mingguo have gradually increased.
Rumors include all sides, all kinds of conjectures.
As for the party's natural sin, he still continued his small life.
"It's really blue."
It was the first and last sentence he said that day.
He walked straight into a small workshop, a forbidden place that no one could enter.
After a busy day, then come out and fall asleep.
Fortunately, the white-haired woman followed very closely, hugged him directly, threw him into the house, and flew away, but slowly fell on the bed.
I don't know why, maybe it's because the white-haired woman was hugged by him before, and the gap between the two seems to be less.
And...... Although two people rarely talk to each other, the word estrangement can only be said by outsiders, and there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between them, which makes people incomprehensible.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Jian and the others would sneak into the room of Heavenly Sin, get into the corner of the quilt, and sleep with him in their arms.
It was only then that the frowning brow of the sleeping Heavenly Sin would be relaxed.
Who said that Gentle Township is a hero's mound?
That's what a fox can't eat a grape can say.
Gentle Township is a hero's harbor, only after a good rest, can you cheer up the next day and set off again.
Just for this warm quilt, you can't imagine how much effort a man can put in.
"Grandma drops, do you want it to be so hot in winter?!"
Again, this is the only word that has been uttered in a day of sin.
Almost all of them complained, but they didn't affect his motivation at all.
That's it, more than ten days have passed.
What's he doing? No one knows, even if the white-haired woman with the 'privilege' sees it, but ...... She doesn't say.
At this time, the capital city has gradually begun to liven up.
There are travelers rushing back from all directions, and the already crowded place makes people feel like they can't put their feet down.
Too many people happily walked back and forth on the streets, and the bags in their hands never stopped.
After the previous 'heavenly change', although it was strange, nothing happened, and people quickly forgot about it.
I put all my experience into my normal life.
And the reason why they seem so happy is because in five days, it will be the New Year.
Year.
This festival will appear in any country and in any world.
Why?
Because no matter which country in the world, it must always develop to the point where arable land can be cultivated, and there is also planting.
The year does not always exist, and there is no concept of the year when human beings have no fixed place to live, and when the main production depends on hunter-gatherers.
Why are there 'years'?
It's actually quite simple.
In winter, the cold covers a qiē.
People looked at their food and found that there was really nothing to do, so in this season of rest, there was such a festival set by the rulers.
The legends about the year in all countries are different, and they are all mysterious and mysterious, what is the birthday of Jesus, what year beast invades, and there is absolutely no connection at all. But everywhere the year is almost the same period.
So there is no legend at all, the emergence of the year is because it was the season when everyone was idle.
Rumors can change the flavor of many things, forming some kind of legend or moral that people want to hear.
But at the bottom of it...... But it simply makes people want to vomit blood, including the 'Book of Songs', which is respected to an unparalleled status, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of folk witticism, and the effect expressed in written form is only, and some words are simply the morphophonetic words of the dialect, and there is a research value of eggs?
For example, dumplings are actually the same as 'Nian'.
It's not an ingot, it's not something special, it's just ...... People are too lazy.
Since you don't want to do anything for a month during the Chinese New Year, why do you rest and do housework?
But it is not possible for a man not to eat, so he ...... Dumplings appeared.
What is the best feature of dumplings? The bread is stuffed, and the meals are all in one chopstick. It's also easy to do, do more at once, and then put it outside to freeze, when you're hungry, there is hot water on the stove, throw it in and cook it for a while.
Not in the south, it's not cold enough to be lazy, so ...... In fact, there is no fixed diet for the New Year, and eating a good meal is even a Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
It's as simple as that, there aren't so many legends, there aren't so many complicated reasons, on the contrary, the more reasons there are, the more false they are, and it's impossible to save them.
For example, some nomads do not eat pork, and some say that it is their faith.
Now it is, but ever? In the beginning?
Quite simply, pigs don't eat grass, and nomads can't raise them.
Because the nomads have no fixed residence, they can only use the most traditional cooking method, that is, barbecue to cook, so the livestock they raise are those roasted and half-cooked and will not have diarrhea when eaten, and the pork must be cooked before it can be eaten.
That's the root.
But will ordinary people care about these root causes?
No, they prefer to believe in those legends.
Therefore, what Tiansin is doing these days is very related to this 'year' on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also very related to the psychology of the people.
In a flash, three days passed.
The palace came again, saying that it was to let the civil and military officials present New Year's gifts.
To put it bluntly, this is a blatant request for property, and the civil and military officials can only hand over their most cherished and cherished treasures.
No one will hide their secrets, because the quality of the treasures determines the attitude of the lord of the country towards them, and this attitude can directly affect their careers.
And the sin of heaven belongs to the civil and military officials, and it is the kind of rich among them.
"Master Hou's gift, naturally extraordinary, our family is going to open their eyes at that time."
The eunuch who came said with a hippie smile.
I don't know why, now that the Lord of Qi has been brought back to his own world, Nanming has recovered to safety, but Manager Li has still not been released, and I don't know what the Lord of the Kingdom is thinking.
But no matter what, Nanming returned to normalcy.
Since it is the norm, it can be regarded as a prosperous age.
You can see it from Ningxiang Building alone.
Especially this year, Ningxiang Building can be described as ...... It can't be described as busy, or rather annoying.
Just today, before the door opened in the morning, the door was already surrounded by the families of the capital's magnates.
At least hundreds of people blocked the entire street.
There is only one meaning, and his own family is also an old guest of Ningxiang Building, and when it comes to the end of the year, he has to hold a banquet here, right?
One, of course, it's for a good meal, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? I don't think about spending money, it's rare to go crazy a year.
Second, it's face!
Face is too important.
Especially for those big families, face is a qiē.
If someone sucks his face, his family will bleed to death.
If you say a good word to someone on your face, your family will work hard.
And being able to eat a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Ningxiang House is definitely the biggest face.
Not to mention anything else, just last year, several big families got through Shangguan Siqing's relationship and brought her treasures from other countries, which can be regarded as a rarity. Girls already like these, she has a husband who is free away, and a woman who makes money at home is naturally very concerned about these strange and high-end things.
So he named a few names and let them spend a very luxurious year in Ningxiang Building.
As a result, these families have overpowered other families throughout the year.
When I walk, I look up with my head up, and I only use my nostrils to look at people, and those who are about the same power are also distinguished, and I feel that I can't raise my head if I don't eat, and I won't save any face for the other party when I eat.
The first thing we said was, "What do you know?" The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Ningxianglou is the best, and the singing and dancing are more intoxicating than the wine. As for the wine...... Hey, unlimited walks on the clouds, people who drink can't tell the difference between heaven and earth! Let's talk about eating...... Oh, if you're not afraid of your jokes, my master's tongue was almost swallowed at that time, so where is the delicacy in the world? It's a blessing from heaven! Especially a dish called 'The Return of Taixu', the master still doesn't know what it's made of, why is it so delicious? After eating a meal, I couldn't eat at home for three months, and the whole person lost a lot of weight. The walls of the house have been cut through by the master several times...... Hey, that's really ...... The aftertaste is endless! ”
On the one hand, they showed their 'face', but on the other hand, they also told Ning Xianglou's face.
So today it is even more intense.
Because the heavenly sin has returned, no one dares to go to a Hou Mansion to give gifts to Shangguan Siqing.
It's not because I'm afraid of the heavenly sin to blame, but because I'm afraid that the heavenly criminals will mutter, those are all old and refined guys, I'm afraid that the heavenly sin will be misunderstood by someone in his family who has a non-point idea about the only 'beauty' on this heavenly crime, otherwise for no reason, what kind of gift to give?
If it is remembered like this, with the influence of Heavenly Sin in the entire Nanming at this time, then I really don't know how I died.
Since there are no gifts, everyone is worried that they will not have a chance.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I naturally enjoyed the taste of 'having face', and it was impossible to let go.
I haven't eaten it, and naturally I don't want to look at the disdainful faces of others for another year, they all live in this capital, and everyone in every family has someone who is a big official in the court, why is it that when I see you, I am naturally three points shorter?
This is patently unfair.
But fairness still needs to be fought for by people themselves.
That's why there is such a momentum of 'killing red eyes'.
It's not much of an adjective.
It was only this morning's work, and a few of the families outside broke their heads and bled profusely.
Cui Siyuan stood on the wooden board of the store door in a daze, holding the door lock in his hand, hurriedly put the key back in his pocket, and muttered with a sad face: "What can I do, I want to kill someone, this is ......"
He knew that these family members were all 'domestic animals' in the eyes of those big families, but in the eyes of their own masters, they were a real human life. If someone dies in front of the store, I don't know how angry the heavenly sin is.
Thinking of this, Cui Siyuan only felt that his stomach began to hurt again
