It's been the second year I've come to Datang, and with last year's experience, I'm not so busy this year. And this year, with Mrs. Lu - to be precise, Mama Rong next to Mrs. Lu is in charge, and she knows better than anyone what to do and what to prepare when it comes.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Mu took the male in the family, that is, Li Bai's children, to sacrifice the stove together, the so-called sacrificial stove, is the sacrifice stove king, this immortal grade is not high, but practical, very respected by Li Mu. If you want to live, you have to eat, and you can't do without a stove. The sacrificial items are simple, but they are sake lees, caramel candy, sticky cakes, and the like. Incense was given to the king of the stove, and Li Mu hugged his son for a while. He can't say anything like the blessing of the Lord of the Stove, but he doesn't have to slander others, he still has to do it.

Li Shimin had already returned to the palace the day before, and when the New Year was really celebrated, the emperor needed to experience much more red tape than Li Mu. Li Shimin was already lazy this year, and he didn't leave until the first day of the year. Li Shimin originally wanted to take Li Yuan back to the palace, but Li Yuan refused, Li Mu's identity was finally clarified, as Li Jiancheng's real 'eldest son', Li Yuan regarded him as the eldest grandson, and said that he would celebrate the New Year with Li Mu.

Li Mu took Zheng Guanyin and his two sisters over, and after not seeing each other for a year, the two little girls grew half a head taller, so scared that Li Mu didn't dare to admit it. It is said that the eighteenth change of the female college is also a little faster. If this trend continues, in another two or three years, you will have to get married.

Dugu Jiu has been wandering outside for a year, and he has to go home. Fortunately, Duguval's base camp is in Chang'an, and it doesn't take much time to go home. He wanted to bring Li Chongyi back for the New Year, but Li Chongyi couldn't pass, and he remembered that he still had a godfather, that is, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County. Although Li Xiaogong is not in Chang'an, Li Xiaogong's family and his little brother Li Chongyi are all in Chang'an, and he should go back for the New Year.

So, during the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Mu spent it with his five wives, three mothers, a son, two daughters, two sisters, and a grandfather, which can be regarded as a family reunion.

After that, it was to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, originally according to the rules, the head of the family sat at a table, and the rest of the people ate separately, this rule Li Mu did not like, he was not afraid of doing anything shocking, to be a person to do whatever he wanted, today afraid of this, tomorrow taboo that, how unhappy. What should come will come, and what should not come will not fall on you. Li Mu was not too lively, and called Mei Lan Zhuju and some people whose families were not around to the valley, and everyone was lively together.

Li Mu's style, as early as when he was still chasing the deer, the whole family was used to it, anyway, he could always do something unimaginable to others, but it was all up to him, which made Li Mu inexplicably feel like the head of the family, which was really good.

At night, Li Mu was eager to set off firecrackers, carrying flints and firecrackers to the mouth of the valley, he didn't dare to put them in the courtyard, for fear that the three old ladies and five daughters-in-law would tear themselves apart. However, fortunately, the firecrackers are not only Li Mu himself interested, Li Zhien is willing to accompany him, but he didn't dare to point it himself, he hid far away and covered his ears to see, and when the firecrackers sounded, Li Mu jumped up, and immediately Li Zhien chased after him, Li Zhien didn't understand what was going on, seeing Li Mu running, she also ran quickly, and took it down with the hand covering her ears, and screamed in fright. Li Mu laughed, as if he was not very happy about setting off firecrackers, but he was very happy to tease Li Zhien.

On the first day of the new year, the couplet was pasted, Li Mu's automatic pen, he got more than a dozen words of the two kings, the simulation was successful, and he had obtained the book of the true biography, which was naturally extraordinary. The couplets written out have the charm of the three points of the orchid pavilion order, which makes Wang Ou's eyes full of brilliance. However, there is one thing that teaches Li Mu to make a difficulty, you must know that the first day of the Lunar New Year is to pay tribute to the ancestors, ordinary large families, will set up ancestral halls in the house, as a major event, but Li Mu was an orphan in his previous life, in this era, the identity is sensitive and special, although Li Jiancheng is buried in Gaoyangyuan, but if Li Mu goes to sacrifice at this time, it is undoubtedly slapping Li Shimin's face, and the situation will be very delicate. Besides, Li Mu really has no feelings for Li Jiancheng, and he doesn't want to sacrifice him.

But Li Yuan was beside him, Mrs. Lu was also looking forward to it, Li Mu had no choice, so he had to fool around first, he found a plaque, wrote the names of Li Jiancheng and Li Kang, and worshipped it, which was considered a formality, Mrs. Lu and Zheng Guanyin secretly wiped their tears, and Sun was crying, Li Dang has been dead for many years, but when the two were together, they were also considered to be in love with each other, and now she remarried Tang Jian, she felt guilty, and she would blame herself every year, Li Mu persuaded her, but she still had to be a doctor for heart disease, and he had nothing to do.

Thinking in a mess, it is time to start paying New Year's greetings, the custom of New Year's greetings has been around for a long time, as early as the Han Dynasty, the ministers want to enter the palace to worship on the first day of the first month, and the monarchs and ministers are happy together. In addition, it is also a good opportunity to show that you are in a faction, and some people who do not come to the door often have to "look at the door and throw an assassin", ask their subordinates to send a famous assassin, say a few auspicious words, and express their position. Therefore, this New Year's greeting has also become a symbol of status, who gets more famous thorns, it means who has a high status and outstanding prestige, if there are fewer famous thorns, it is completely the opposite, and will be despised in the next year.

If anyone is rewarded by the emperor during the New Year, it means that this person is a popular person in His Majesty's heart.

Li Mu walked around last year, but this year, his identity is equivalent to being made public. I didn't want to implicate others, and I was lazy, so I didn't come to the door, so I sent someone to give a round of gifts and cast a famous thorn. As for whether there is a return gift, Li Mu doesn't care very much, anyway, he keeps accounts, and if he doesn't return the gift, he has a way to get it back. But if none of them replied, they still couldn't hang their faces a little, Li Mu didn't say anything, and he was also worried in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face at all, if he saw it, wouldn't he have no face?

Half a morning passed, Li Mu pretended to have nothing to do and drank tea with a few ladies in the back garden, Xiaolan ran back and forth excitedly, here said Hou Ye, and a few more famous thorns, and after a while, the name of the mansion of a certain country was stabbed, so come and go, Li Mu was very settled, the mood was very refreshing, and he bragged to his wives with a smile: "I saw how powerful your husband is, this is called strength and heritage, don't look at your husband usually seems to be unwelcome, but when it comes to the critical time, everyone knows that the wind is blowing over there." Facts have proved that everyone likes your husband and me very much, mainly because your husband has a good character, the so-called self-cultivation, family harmony, and governing the country, whether it is a person or an official, character is very important. ”

Having said that, it is completely to save face for himself, in fact, Li Mu has a clear heart in his heart, except for some elders like Cheng Biting Jin, Fang Xuanling, and Hou Junji, the others who gave him a name stab are completely because they can't afford to provoke him, for fear that he will find trouble, how can he say hello, and it is not troublesome to write a few words, why leave hidden dangers? God knows what tricks this guy will play, next year the Foreign Affairs Office is about to get on the right track, who can't get along with money in this yamen that makes money?

The snowflake-like thorns floated over like this, and by noon, a thousand letters had passed, and as long as he was mixed in Chang'an City, there were really few who had the courage not to take him seriously.

Li Muzheng was proud of his kung fu, Xiaolan came again, this time holding a big red thorn in his hand, and said: "Master Hou, this famous thorn was sent by Uncle Guo's mansion." ”

Li Muzheng was chewing the candied fruit stolen from Li Zhien, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up, took the name thorn and opened it to see, the person who made the payment was really the eldest grandson Wuji, and there were only four words in the name thorn, auspicious.

"Gestures?" Li Mu frowned and muttered, "Shouldn't you write Happy New Year?"

After thinking about it, he couldn't think clearly for a while, Li Mu asked Xiaolan to bring a pen and paper, brush and write down three words, and said: "Give him one back, and then reward him with an ingot for running errands." ”

Xiaolan secretly flipped over the name thorn and glanced at it, and the three dragons and phoenixes danced in big words, "Thank you!" He stuck out his tongue and immediately went to prepare.

Li Muzhong sat down, and Mrs. Lu asked, "Son, what is this eldest grandson Wuji sending a famous thorn for?" I've heard that he's not very nice to you, he's the most cunning, and I've known it for a long time, and I've always wanted to clean him up. ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and said, "I know why." ”

The women looked at it curiously: "Why? ”

Li Mu was very sure and said: "Why else? Showing favor and begging for mercy? found that he couldn't fight me, he couldn't provoke me, and his son was still worshipping under my door, so he was helpless and softened? ”

All the women knew that Li Mu was nonsense, but Qiaoqiao didn't know what to do, fed Li Mu a bite of pastry, and said: "Don't be arrogant, maybe people just want to do their best to be polite." ”

Li Mu said: "Definitely, don't you think your husband is powerful?" ”

Li Mu made a pun, he slept in Qiaoqiao's room last night. I coincidentally understood this sentence, glanced at him, and said angrily: "Talking nonsense again, ignoring you, the roots will come over later, and I will take out the things prepared for my father." ”

"My father-in-law is now Chang'an Baiye, what else is missing? Meaningful! ”

Bai Qiaoqiaoquan didn't hear it, the person had already gone away. In fact, what Bai Qiaoqiao prepared was just some Luoyang specialties, and he had never given his family wealth to his mother's family.

In the afternoon, all kinds of famous thorns have been piled up, and they have won a lot, Li Mu is in a good mood, just when he is proud, Xiaolan came again, followed by Gao Gonggong, Li Mu couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, muttered: "New Year's Day, what is this for?"

Li Mu was full of doubts, but he couldn't help but accept it, and got up to greet him.

"The edict said: Li Mu, the widow of King Xi, is also the widow of King Xi, and I have been able to recognize him——"

Hearing this, Li Mu didn't care about the politeness, took a step forward, and covered Gonggong Gao's mouth.

"What do you mean?" Li Mu said solemnly: "What does this decree mean?" ”

Gonggong Gao blocked Li Mu's hand and said, "Master Hou, what Your Majesty means is to issue an edict to punish yourself and restore your identity." ”

"Isn't that what happened? How do you change the hexagram? When did I mention reinstating what status? ”

Gonggong Gao raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you don't accept this holy decree?" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Li Mu's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Master Hou, I am very comfortable, just forget it." ”

"Uh-good," Gonggong Gao took this holy decree back into his sleeve as if he was playing a trick, took out another holy decree, opened it and read: "The edict said: Luoyang Hou Li Mu, the Spring Festival, the whole world celebrates, the four seas return to the heart, I am very happy, but there is only one thing that makes me unhappy...... Thou art a retainer, but thou hast not congratulated thee...... I regard you as a son and nephew, can you have the heart to serve? ”

Li Mu was dumbfounded, how could this person still have two faces, look at these two holy decrees, the old yin and yang people!

Either you sin yourself or you sin, choose one, right? What's it called? Is the Holy Decree still used for this? Why are you still picking on it? Today is the Chinese New Year, and the whole world celebrates together, so I am very happy. This sentence is nothing, but as soon as the conversation changed, he said that many ministers had put on the congratulatory table, read a lot of auspicious words, and were in a very happy mood, but although I was very happy, I suddenly found that your Li Mu's congratulatory table was not presented. You are the dark cloud in the white clouds, the rat poop in a pot of porridge, which makes me very uncomfortable!

As a minister, you bathed in my kindness, but did not give Lao Tzu a congratulatory watch, did you ever have the heart to repay? The character is really inferior, incorrigible, and hateful...... Li Mu was dumbfounded, how could this person still have two faces, look at these two holy decrees, the old yin and yang people!
