After the palace banquet, San Lang and Mu Fushu "said goodbye".

This is the last time Mu Fushu spent the New Year in her mother's house before she got married, and she has no reason to stay in the palace, and it is impossible for San Lang, as the emperor, to leave the palace to go outside to observe the New Year, and he also needs to go to the Yang family ancestral hall to worship his ancestors in person.

Yang Weiai fell asleep early because of her pregnancy, and she would be called up before she had a child.

Dasui went from ordinary people to officials and nobles, and he would keep the year in Chinese New Year's Eve. Keeping the New Year is the custom of staying up late to welcome the arrival of the new year without sleeping on Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as the Chinese New Year's Eve Observance, commonly known as "staying up the New Year". In ancient times, there were two meanings of keeping the New Year: the elderly kept the New Year as "saying goodbye to the old year", which meant cherishing time; Young people observe the age of their parents to prolong their parents' lives. The time of the transition between the old and the new year is generally in the middle of the night. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, men, women and children of all ages gather together to celebrate the New Year. Therefore, keeping the New Year is one of the customs of the Spring Festival.

After the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family sat around and filled the table with refreshments and fruits. Ordinary people who don't have the conditions should at least fry some peanuts. The pastries and fruits prepared by the good family conditions are abundant, and they are all trying to ask for an auspicious mouth: for example, eating dates (spring comes early), eating peanuts (peanuts are also called longevity fruits, immortality), and eating rice cakes (higher and higher year by year). On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family, while eating, laughing, talking, and keeping vigil all night, symbolizes the drive away the evil plague and looks forward to the auspicious new year.

There are also firecrackers that have been handed down since the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is related to the legend of the "Year Beast".

Legend has it that in the ancient flood era, there was a vicious monster, and people called it Nian.

Every night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the New Year beast would crawl out of the sea and harm people and animals. Destroying the countryside and befalling the people who have worked hard for a year. In order to avoid the beasts, people closed the door early on the night of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and did not dare to sleep. They sat and waited for the dawn to pass the time and to be courageous, so they drank. Wait until the morning of the first day of the new year when the beast no longer comes out, and then dare to go out. People greeted each other and congratulated each other. Fortunately, it was not eaten by the Nian Beast, and after many years like this, nothing happened, and people relaxed their vigilance against the Nian Beast.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Nian Beast suddenly rushed to a village in the south of the Yangtze River. A village of people was almost eaten up by the beasts, and only one newlywed couple with red curtains and red clothes were safe and sound. There were also a few boys, in the courtyard lit a pile of bamboo to play, the fire was red, the bamboo burned and exploded, the beast turned here, saw the fire frightened and turned around. Since then, people have known that the beast is afraid of red, light, and sound. At the end of each year, every household sticks red paper, wears red robes, hangs red lights, beats gongs and drums, and sets off firecrackers, so that the New Year beast does not dare to come again. In the Book of Songs? Lesser? Ting Liao". There is a record of the light of the court. After the bamboo pole is burned, the air in the bamboo node expands, and the bamboo cavity bursts, making a crackling sound, which is also the origin of the firecracker.

Later, someone invented firecrackers made of gunpowder. After that, there were fireworks, and the New Year became more and more lively.

Years of famine have made the Great Sui Dynasty, from the dignitaries to the common people, live a life of fear for several years. There has been no real Chinese New Year for many years. In just a few months since Saburo ascended the throne, the people have benefited a lot. I got the seed which was said to be prolific. The people in Chang'an City also got the New Year's goods issued by the imperial court a year ago, which is simply undreamable.

Regarding welfare, not to mention others, even Yang Weiai couldn't understand it at first. In her opinion, the Chinese New Year should be a gift from a subordinate to a superior, or a move between equals, where is the court to give food to those civilians? Fortunately, Mu Fushu persuaded her with the "master's test". It is said that this is what the master said, and the more people she helps, the greater her merit will be, and the more benefits she will receive in the future.

Yang Wei also had a carefree youth, and in that youthful years, she also read "popular novels", including Zhiwei novels, similar to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the like.

In Yang Wei's love, Mu Fushu's master must be an old immortal, and her eldest mother is a lay disciple who has been enlightened by the immortals.

The theory of witch Gu was prevalent in the Han Dynasty, and the concept was blurred when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, probably because the predecessors were very puzzled by their own crossing, after all, time-traveling novels were not popular. Since then, he has been a little suspicious of the theory of ghosts and gods, but after all, he came through to become the emperor, which is not a bad thing in his opinion, so it is not a ghost but a god. Although he did not seek immortality in the later period, he did not seek immortality (this Emperor Yang of Sui has always been in good health, and he was nearly eighty years old when he died, which is considered a longevity in this era). But he often recruits some monks into the palace to speak, especially Taoist priests, and Taoist priests in the middle and late stages of Emperor Yang of Sui are still very popular.

Buddhism is said to have been introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty, and it is also said that it was the Qin Dynasty, no matter which dynasty it was introduced, it did not spread in the Central Plains.

As we all know, in the early period of ancient China, Confucianism and Taoism were relatively high-profile, and Buddhism was introduced from other countries after all, everyone was not familiar with it, and it was silent for a while.

In general, the people in the Great Sui are still very positive, and they have a certain trust and worship for Taoism and Buddhism, but witches are rare, at least Mu Fushu has never heard of anyone who uses witchcraft to harm people, but has heard of using witchcraft to save people, Yang Weiai told her a true thing:

When they were fleeing more than ten years ago, they accidentally entered a jungle where no one had been before, and Chen Kunnian was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to protect her. They didn't catch the snake, and there was no antidote, seeing that Chen Kunnian was convulsing and dying, just at that time, a passing witch doctor saved him, and the method used was very weird: the witch doctor asked them to catch a goat, and after chanting a few spells to turn it into something I don't know, I pressed Chen Kunnian's wound three times, only to see that the wound on Chen Kunnian's leg bitten by a poisonous snake was slowly closed at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, but the tea kung fu was as smooth as ever, And the place where the sheep's right hind leg was injured relative to Chen Kunnian's right leg suddenly became bloody, and he soon died.

After the witch doctor left, Yang Weiai ordered someone to shave the hair on the sheep's wound, and the wound exposed was exactly the same as the wound after Chen Kunnian was bitten by a snake.

Yang Weiai has been amazed by this matter and has said it many times. Mu Fushu asked that place was about Wuling County, Qianzhong, that is, near Zhangjiajie in modern Hunan. The people there are very mysterious, but Mu Fushu has been there in modern times, and the mysterious corpse is there. And Yang Weiai said that the witch doctor's technique is very similar to "Zhu Youke".

Legend has it that in ancient times, there were thirteen departments for the treatment of diseases, and "Zhu Youke" was one of them. Qing Yuanmei's "New Qi Harmony? It is easy to control demons and difficult to cure people": "Hanyang ordered Liu, the sex is too strict, and the rule of the cult is too strict, and there are traitors who control the army, and the army is punished. The third chapter of "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years": "Then I wish the people of Kodai to cure the disease, no need to take medicine, just draw two talismans." ”

Zhu Yuzhi is a method of curing diseases by means of charms and forbidden spells, including Chinese herbal medicine. The curse of the "wish" is also, and the cause of the illness of the "by" person is also. The concept of "wishing" is very broad, including forbidden methods, spells, blessings, talismans, as well as suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, music therapy, etc., not just wishing the cause of the illness and curing the disease. The cause of some diseases is clear, but the blessing does not heal, which means that the blessing method does not work, so it is necessary to use the forbidden method, or the law, or cooperate with the drug treatment.

At this time, "Zhu Youke" did not have a systematic title, and everyone still habitually called it "witchcraft". Mu Fushu, who has experienced the crossing, does not blindly disbelieve in those folklore things, but feels that many inexplicable things have reasons and meanings. Just like her personal space, she had only seen it in fiction before she had it, and sometimes she imagined what it was, but it was all an insubstantial imagination, and she didn't know what it was until she actually had it. But before she had it, she just imagined it, but she didn't disbelieve it.

Yang Weiai still remembers the shock that the wizard brought her, whether that person is a witch doctor or a miracle doctor, she subconsciously believes that there are immortals. Otherwise, with Mu Zhongjun and the Lin family, they can't even feed the eldest mother, and they are only a few words they know, how can they teach such an excellent aunt?

It's not just Yang Weiai who has this idea, but also her two fathers and most people who know more or less about her. They generally believe that Mu Fushu was made by a mysterious master, or that there was a mysterious teacher.

This weird but different idea of the same end just right to cover up Mu Fushu's weirdness, and find the reason for her physical ability, as for Mu Fushu's previous suspicion that she will be burned to death as a monster, it can only be said that she is the right time and place, and it just happened to be possessed by Yang Weiai's daughter, if her mother is not a princess, not the daughter of the pride of the heavenly emperor, then those weirdness will be obvious, not so easy to be accepted by the people around her.

After all, people, including Yang Weiai, believe that Mu Fushu's good luck comes from her noble "bloodline" - she is the only daughter of Emperor Wai's "bloodline", and it is God's mercy that allows her to have this mysterious power.

At this time, all those who knew Yang Weiai's life experience selectively ignored the fact that Yang Weiai did not have Yang bloodline at all.

Before the child, Yang Weiai appeared in the main hall dressed neatly. Mu Fushu also took a bath and changed into new clothes, a family of "four" and a half (Yang Weiai's stomach is half a mouthful) around the round table to eat apples (meaning peace and security), red dates, peanuts and other auspicious food, when the time came, the servants went to the gate to light firecrackers, for a time the entire Chang'an City was full of firecrackers, Mu Fushu seemed to smell the smell of spring.
