Wax moon, the end of the year is coming.

Outside, it was freezing and full of snowflakes, but the ultra-luxurious bathroom of Zhenguojun's Mansion was steaming and warm like spring.

When the snow is falling, taking a bath is obviously a pleasure.

At this time, in Li Yang's bathroom, there were not only several large pots of red-hot charcoal, but also the two stunning beauties of Natasha and Yangzi.

These two women with devilish figures and national colors are only wearing a thin light veil on their bodies, which are completely soaked with water at this time, and the tulle is close to their bodies, showing the curves of their angry bodies to the fullest.

Li Yang was so comfortable that he lay in the special bath, and Natasha and Yangzi rubbed their bodies for him one after the other.

Natasha is of East Slavic descent, that is, the appearance of later Russians and Ukrainians, blonde, blue-eyed, tall*full, *hot, and the soaked tulle clings closely, revealing the fiery body.

In order to add hot water from the wooden barrel into the bath, she climbed up from the bath, and her figure was completely exposed in front of Li Yang's eyes.

The water-soaked tulle clearly outlines AO's convex figure.

The tulle robe was so thin that the hidden silk loomed.

Li Yang saw that his blood was tense, and his whole body was hot.

At this time, Yang Zi, who was captivating the country and the city, also stopped the jade hand that was rubbing Li Yang's back, stood up from the water, and moved to the front of Li Yang.

Yang Zi is twenty years old, with a slender figure and a stunning face, although he is not as enchanting as Natasha, he is extremely cute. The body is slender, full of aura, and the water droplets on the black hair drip down the hair to the white *** in front of the murder, which is also parchable.

Yang Zi came to the front of him, and wanted to help Natasha add the hot water from the wooden barrel on the edge of the bath into the bath, this turn, the surname Qiaotun was presented in front of Li Yang, the tulle was tightly attached to Qiaotun, Li Yang couldn't help but reach out and grab her Qiaotun, and grabbed it fiercely!

"Hmm!"

Yang Zi made a coquettish voice and was about to turn around, but Li Yang pressed her to the edge of the bath, making her Feng Tun upturned, and then pushed forward......

"Ah~"

Where could Yang Zi stand this kind of sudden, rough attack, and a louder voice, and then the whole body softened, and the strength of the whole body was evacuated, and the upper body had to lie on the edge of the bath completely by taking advantage of the situation.

What's more, she was still very shy because it was the first time she had done so in front of other people......

Embarrassed, nervous, but not exciting......

Natasha on the side was completely stunned, because it was the first time she had observed it so closely, and they were still so inferior.

Looking at it, Natasha only felt that the deer in her heart was bumping, and her whole body became hot, as if a fire was burning in her body.

In particular, the delicate voice of Yang Ziyi's immortal death made him feel as if there were thousands of ants crawling on his body, and his whole body was unbearable. Unconsciously, his hands roamed over his body......

In the bathroom, the room is full of spring.

Outside, the snow is falling, and it is a sea of ice and fire!

After sweating in the bathroom for an hour, Li Yang walked out of the bathroom.

When he came to the courtyard, he saw Uncle Wu taking He Zhangzheng to move a big drum to the house.

Li Yang was very curious and asked, "He Zhang, what are you...... What to do? ”

He Zhang looked stammering, and said with a smile: "My subordinates heard Uncle Wu say that there were no drums in the house, so they specially ordered the house to make a drum." ”

Li Yang was confused: "I am the town and country monarch's mansion, and I am not the county yamen, what is the use of drums?" ”

These words were exchanged for the surprised eyes of Uncle Wu and He Zhang, and Uncle Wu said: "Master, the New Year is approaching, how can you expel the ghost of the plague without a drum?" ”

Since Li Yang married his wife, Uncle Wu no longer called Li Yang his son, but changed his name to his master.

When Li Yang heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that this drum was used to ward off the plague ghosts. In the words of the deceased, it is used for the New Year to drive away the beasts of the New Year.

Chinese New Year's Eve, according to legend, had the custom of celebrating the New Year during the Yaoshun period, but the name was different. It is recorded in "Erya Shitian": "Xia is said to be old, Shang is said to be ritual, Zhou is said to be a year, and Tang Yu is said." "So, in the Qin Dynasty, there was already a custom of celebrating the New Year.

Chinese New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, according to Lü Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn. Ji Dong Ji records that the ancients used drumming to expel the "plague ghosts" on the day before the New Year, which is the origin of the "Chinese New Year's Eve" festival.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household has to carve statues of gods and yulei with peach stalks, and hang them in front of the door on the day before Chinese New Year's Eve to avoid the invasion of demons and ghosts.

Later, people thought that the wood carving people were troublesome, so they directly painted two statues of gods on the peach wood, mentioned the names of the gods and Yu Lei, and hung them on both sides of the door on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve to suppress evil spirits and drive away ghosts, which is the original peach charm.

The earliest record of the effect of peach wood on warding off evil spirits comes from the "Zuo Chuan", which records that the ancients used peach wood to make bows for disaster removal rituals. "Zhuangzi" contains: "Insert peach branches in the household, even under the ashes." The boy is not afraid, but the ghost is afraid. It can be seen that the special belief of the ancients in peach wood originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Such as "Warring States Policy. Qi Ce III said that when Meng Weijun planned to enter Qin, Su Qin told him the fable of the clay puppet and the peach terrier and persuaded him, among which there was a clay puppet saying the peach terrier: "The peach stalk of the eastern kingdom of the present son is also, and the carved son is a person." It can be seen that there was a practice of cutting peach wood for people in the Warring States period.

The pre-Qin Dynasty believed that the Spring Festival was an unlucky day, and a dance would be held on this day to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Sweep the dust and gather for a feast and sacrifice to the ancestors.

He Zhang placed the drum at the gate of the courtyard, and hung the peach talisman carved from peach wood on both sides of the house gate, and did not forget to show his merits: "My lord, this peach talisman is made of rare five-hundred-year-old peach wood, and it is incomparable to the ordinary peach talisman to expel the ghost of the plague." ”

Although Li Yang didn't believe in these things, he still praised him for his hard work, "It's troublesome".

However, thinking that it is not easy to make gongs and drums, and the production of peach charms is also time-consuming and laborious, Li Yang felt that it was time to change the customs of the Qin Dynasty for the New Year.

For example, the Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers in later generations are very good.

Well, it seems that it's time to invent gunpowder!

Thinking of this, Li Yang said to He Zhang: "He Zhang, in fact, there is a thing, its movement is much louder than the beating of gongs and drums!" ”

"Oh?"

As soon as He Zhang heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is it?" ”

Li Yang said: "Firecrackers, also known as firecrackers!" ”

"Firecrackers? Firecracker? ”

He Zhang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "My subordinates have never heard of this thing. ”

Li Yang smiled: "Naturally, you can't have heard of it, because this hasn't been invented yet." ”

He Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately heard it, and hurriedly said, "My lord has a new invention again?" ”

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, this firecracker is a good thing, not only is it loud, but it also sounds more atmospheric than beating gongs and drums." With it, there is an atmosphere for the New Year; With it, the New Year has a New Year's flavor; Chinese New Year's Eve hangs and says goodbye to the old year; On the first day of the new year, we will welcome the new year; The wedding celebration is hung up, and it is lively and joyful; Firecrackers are really a must-have for Chinese New Year's Eve, red and white celebrations, and rewards for children. ”

"Oh, that sounds great, but I wonder if it's hard to make?" He Zhang has a natural interest in novelty, but if he just listens to the sound, if it is too difficult to make, it is obvious that he is not very motivated.

After all, he was now the same one who invented papermaking, printing, the saddle, and stirrups.

As for the gadgets, it's not too cold. No way, this guy's heart has gotten bigger.

Li Yang saw that he was not very interested in firecrackers, so he added: "It is not difficult to make this thing, but in order to make firecrackers, the prerequisite is to invent another thing, which I call 'gunpowder'." ”

"Gunpowder?" He Zhang's brows furrowed again, it was a new term.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, gunpowder is terrible." In my opinion, gunpowder is a major invention that can be as famous as papermaking and printing. Of course, if you don't want to do it, then forget it, Benjun went to find Li You and Fusu, these two guys should be very interested. ”

When He Zhang heard it, the invention that was as famous as papermaking and printing suddenly snorted! Hurriedly grabbed Li Yang, nodded again and again, and said: "My lord, my subordinates want to do it, I am too interested in this so-called gunpowder and firecrackers." ”

Li Yang waved his hand: "Hey, why do you have to force yourself, I'd better go find Li You and Fusu." ”

He Zhang hugged Li Yang's thigh and begged: "My lord! If the adult does not hand over this matter to his subordinates, the subordinates will definitely feel that life has lost its color, and life has no meaning, so it is better to die! ”

Li Yang looked at it, sighed, and had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you are so cheap, then let you invent it!" ”

He Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my subordinates have a conscience, as long as the firecracker is made, I will name it the Yu Ri Whip, and the subordinates will never occupy a name." ”

Yu Ri Whip?

When Li Yang heard this, he was directly scorched by thunder, and almost none of them were planted on the ground!

"Lao Tzu whips your sister, your whole family is whipped!"
