Chapter 292: It's New Year

Many families will also return to their homes at night to spend another Chinese New Year's Eve with their wives and children, and Yun Xi also wants to spend a Chinese New Year's Eve alone with the people closest to him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info To be honest, so many people have been together, Yun Xi doesn't like it very much, and he doesn't think it will add any New Year's atmosphere.

Therefore, Yun Xi announced the end of the family banquet when it was about to end and before it was time, which was much earlier than when Zhu Yuanzhang was still there.

Yun Xi, who ended the family banquet, called Yun Lan, Yun Yun, Yun Zhi's three younger sisters, and her little aunt Baoqing, and sent someone to bring Siqi back from the Liangguo Mansion, plus her concubines Xiyi and Baoqin, and all the children had a real family banquet in Xiyao's Qianqing Palace.

Well, Yun Xi looked around after everyone was gathered and found that all of them were women except for himself and his son, and he felt that something was not appropriate. So Yun Xi thought for a moment and ordered someone to call Yun Xi and Yun Hee over; As for Yun Wei, he has already left the palace and lives alone.

Xi Yao organized a family banquet for a whole day today, and now she is tired and doesn't want to move, so she sits on the table with Wenyuan in her arms. Yun Xi also knew that Xi Yao was very tired, so he let Xi Yi handle it.

Because it was a family banquet, Yun Xi's instructions were simple and didn't have to be too complicated; And everyone ate something and wasn't very hungry, so they just served some snacks and fruits, and everyone sat around a big table, chatting while eating. Yoon-hee asked the musician to play the music on the side.

But it's actually quite boring to just sit like this, but fortunately, the ancients had already invented things to pass the time. I saw Yun Zhi take out a leaf play from the palace maid who was serving behind her, and then asked, "Who will play?" ”

Ye Zi Opera is the earliest prototype of ancient playing cards in the world, and it was recorded in his notes as early as the Tang Dynasty. Most people in the world who have studied the origin of poker believe that poker first originated in the leaf opera of China.

There are a total of 40 cards in the leaf play, and the cards are divided into 4 categories with "to, like, four, and hour", similar to the current four suits, with ten cards in each category. Whether it is a folk, an official family or a royal family, leaf opera is very popular as a tool to pass the time.

Yun Xi saw Yun Zhi take out a pair of leaf plays, and immediately glared at her: Carrying this thing with you looks like a regular play, and you don't do your job at a young age! Yun Xi, who likes to play poker very much, rarely plays this, and he has not 'invented' more fun poker in later generations. However, he can't scold Yun Zhi for the New Year, so he can only wait until the end of the New Year.

Yun Zhi didn't care about Yun Xi's glare, and continued to beckon. Yunlan and Yunyun successively agreed to play with Yunzhi, Baoqing and Min'er were also very curious, and the two of them got together to play as the fourth person.

Although Yun Xi, who stared at Yun Zhi, still felt that Yun Zhi, who was carrying Ye Zi Opera with him, was not doing his job, he also found that it was not boring to play Ye Zi Opera, in order to ease the atmosphere, and also to prevent someone from falling asleep during the New Year, Yun Xi also ordered someone to bring a pair of Ye Zi Opera and played with Huqin, Xi Yi, and Yun Xi, and Xi Yao rested on the side.

Yun Xi was still a little unnatural at first, sharing a table with his two sisters-in-law, he had never done this; But after a few hits, it was completely ignored.

Although there are more than a dozen fewer cards, and there is no big or small king, it also has its own set of rules at this time, and it is still quite fun to play.

In particular, Baoqin also deliberately lost to Yun Xi from time to time, so that Yun Xi could win eight out of ten, and of course he was happy.

However, Yoon-hee also found out that they were often deliberately letting him. It's not fun for Yoon-hee, he doesn't like being let of him. Of course, it is also possible to be found by him.

Yun Xi then switched places with Yun Yun and played with Yun Lan and Yun Zhi.

Yun Lan and Yun Zhi are his sisters, although they are usually respectful to him, but they will not let him at this time, and it is much more fun to play. And this table Yunxi also won a lot, because Baoqing and Min'er, the two children played blindly, the two of them basically lost every hand, which increased the number of times others won.

Yun Xi casually asked Yun Lan while playing cards: "Second sister, you are fifteen years old after the New Year, and you are also at the age when you should get married, what kind of family do you want to marry?" The third brother will give you a look. ”

Yun Lan's hands trembled obviously, and the cards she wanted to play fell to the ground. Yun Lan immediately bent down to pick up the card and played it, blushing and pretending to be indifferent and said, "My sister doesn't want to get married yet." ”

Yun Xi said: "It's not that you will marry right away. Ying'er was officially married at the age of eighteen, and you can remarry at the age of eighteen. I mean pick it first, and by then the province will already marry a daughter-in-law. Do you see what you like? ”

Yun Xi really wouldn't have married them off so early. It's eighteen years old, and it's only seventeen years old in modern times, and he thinks it's still early, but if it's too late, it's too late in this era, and it's not like words, so he says eighteen years old.

Yun Lan didn't know how to answer, and Yun Zhi on the side said: "Third brother, how can anyone ask someone this in front of so many people, even their own sister is not suitable." ”

Yun Xi reacted, it was indeed inappropriate, he was still too casual. So he said: "Second sister, I'm sorry, you just don't say anything as the third brother." "But I also made up my mind to ask separately after the New Year.

Yun Xi turned around and said to Yun Zhi jokingly: "Yun Lan is embarrassed to answer, aren't you ashamed to be a girl?" ”

Yun Zhi said: "I am only nine years old, and I will only be ten years old after the New Year, and I am far away from getting married; Besides, it's not my business, I'm ashamed. ”

Yun Xi laughed, these two sisters are so different.

When it was almost time, the palace maids and eunuchs had prepared the fireworks and firecrackers, and the chief steward of Kunning Palace, Tingle, walked in and said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the time is almost the time of the child, and it will be the first year of Jianye soon, and please ask Your Majesty and Niangniang to light the firecrackers for the New Year." ”

Xiyao later sat down to play for a while, and at this time she was also quite fascinated, and when she heard the words of Tingle, she realized that it was time to go out, and she hurriedly beckoned a few children to go out together.

Then Xi Yao turned around and found that Yun Xi was still sitting there playing, even Baoqing and Min'er, who had been losing but were just playing around, not to mention Yun Lan and Yun Zhi.

Xi Yao was angry, walked over and took the cards away from Min'er's hand, and said, "It's time to set off firecrackers, why are you still playing here?" "It's not easy for her to say the others directly, she can only say Min'er.

In the family of Yunxi and Xiyao, Yunxi generally plays the role of pampering children, so naturally Xiyao will be a strict mother, so Min'er is very afraid of Xiyao, and when she hears her words, she can only obediently put on her coat and go out to set off firecrackers. Yun Xi and Yun Lan were also embarrassed to get up and go out to set off firecrackers.

Then, when all the carved leaks in the Kunning Palace and the water leaks that did not freeze reached the sub-hour at the same time, the Bell and Drum Division also rang the first bell of the new year.

Yun Xi lit a whip with his own hands, and the firecrackers 'beeped', and the big red paper exploded everywhere.

Xi Yao, Xi Yi, Bao Qin, Yun Lan, Yun Yun, Yun Zhi, Yun Xi, and Yun Xi also lit firecrackers later, and the sound of 'beep bang' became louder and spread throughout the palace.

Wen Yao, Bao Qing, Min Er and Si Qi lit the fireworks accompanied by the palace maids, and then after the sound of 'stabbing', colorful colors appeared in the sky, which could be seen outside the palace.

Siqi felt very novel, because it was the first time she had spent the New Year in the palace, and she lit the first firecracker of the new year. In the past few years, because Zhu Yuanzhang always kept his children and grandchildren until late, Yun Xi, as the imperial grandson, had to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang all the time, and Min'er and they were also by Zhu Yuanzhang's side for the New Year.

And Siqi couldn't accompany Zhu Yuanzhang because she wasn't a royal person in the end, so Yunxi sent her to the Liangguo Mansion that day, and waited until the first or second day of the Lunar New Year to take her back to the palace. This is also an important reason for Siqi to realize that he is different from Min'er and Baoqing.

But Yunxi is not like Zhu Yuanzhang who has such a big difference between his relatives and non-relatives, for him, Siqi is his adopted daughter, just like his own daughter, and closer than most cousins and sisters, so naturally he can call the shots this year, so he will stay in the palace for the New Year.

Siqi carefully imitated Min'er and Baoqing's approach. But she was a child after all, and quickly forgot all about it and threw herself into it.

Xi Yao took Wen Yuan out again, and lit a firecracker with his own hand. Of course, Xi Yao immediately carried him back. Xiyi also hugged Wenqi and lit a firecracker.

At this time, almost every house in the capital of Daming is lighting firecrackers, and the entire capital is brightly lit. Although there is still a curfew today, no one cares about lighting firecrackers in their own neighborhoods.

Outside the capital, firecrackers are actually lit all over the country, but the sound of Yunxi from other places can't be heard.

lit a burst of firecrackers, Yun Zhi was still too young after all, it was too reluctant to hold on so late, and she was sleepy after the freshness of the New Year, and she returned to her palace after saying goodbye to Yun Xi.

Baoqing and her children slept for a long time during the afternoon and were not sleepy, but Xiyao also sent them back to sleep, and Baoqin also took Wen Yao back to his palace.

Yun Xi didn't really like to set off firecrackers in modern times, but when he got here, he somehow liked this activity, and put a lot of firecrackers with Yun Xi, until the time was almost over, Xi Yao also came over to remind Yun Xi and said: "Your Majesty, I have to meet with the envoys of the vassal country tomorrow, and I have to have a big banquet with the ministers at night, so let's go and rest as soon as possible." ”

Yun Xi stopped at this time, and ordered someone to send Yun Lan, Yun Xi and others back, and he also returned to Kunning Palace to rest with Xi Yao.

In this way, the first year of Jianye has officially arrived.
