Chapter 98: Chinese New Year's Eve

After the big event was over, Xu Qing slept in the study all afternoon, and was only woken up by dinner. At dinner, Xu Qing saw that the table was full of big supplements, and when he asked, Xue'er said shyly: "Xu Lang, Shimei bullied you last night, right?" ”

Xu Qing's old face flushed, of course he didn't admit that he was walking against the wall this morning, so he said: "Where is that, obviously I bullied her, okay?" ”

Xun Xue'er laughed and asked, "Then why did Xu Lang sleep all afternoon?" ”

Xu Qing swallowed his saliva and insisted on not admitting it, only saying: "That's because I was so excited last night, I didn't sleep, and after the big thing was completed, I felt tired." ”

Xun Xue'er didn't ask anymore, raised her eyes and looked at the door and said, "Oh, Shimei is here." ”

Xu Qing's heart froze, and he turned his head to look, only to see Huang Shimei biting her lower lip and stretching out her little tongue, and suddenly a faint pain hit Xu Qing's waist, and he hurriedly turned his head away from looking. At this time, Xiao Yue, who came with Huang Shimei, stomped her feet, pulled Huang Shimei's clothes, and blamed her for not caring for Xu Qing too much. Then, he came over to help Xu Qing rub his shoulders and beat his back.

Although Xu Qing was moved, he also knew that he couldn't get close to women today, otherwise he would really have to hollow out his body, so he said to Xiao Yue: "Xiao Yue, sit down and eat, and rub it later?" ”

Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Qi came one after another, and Huang Shimei didn't blame Xu Qing, this was the time to start dinner. During the banquet, the women chose the most nourishing and kidney-nourishing ones for Xu Qing to eat, needless to say. In the next few days, the carver's technique of polishing the glass was basically proficient, and Xu Qing took out the remaining six pieces of good medicine jade, drew the curves respectively, and handed them to him to polish.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Hongshan Town was brightly lit, and nearby villagers braved the wind and snow to rush to Hongshan Town to celebrate the New Year. Chinese New Year's Eve is sleepless, and the villagers of each village want to release their emotions that have been suppressed for a year on this night, and the men of each village and household are divided into groups, each holding red silk and carrying torches, from the upper village to the village to make trouble from house to house. This is probably the predecessor of the dragon and lion dance. After playing the three watches, it is the New Year, and we must put away our emotions, feel at ease, and farm the land in a down-to-earth manner.

In the first month, the custom is not to say dirty work, not to be angry, not to move the soil, is to obtain a noisy and quiet, one yin and one yang. The word yin and yang seems to explain everything about the Chinese nation, and the role of philosophy and beauty lies in the fact that it can see through the world.

Xu Qing's house, Luonan County's Bofu, is also brightly lit and keeps going all night. On the walkway, many bamboo sticks were burning, crackling non-stop. In Xu Qing's lobby, those who can sing and dance naturally come up to sing and dance, and those who can eat and drink sit on the ground and chew and drink. The brazier burned vigorously, reflecting everyone's face red. Before the third watch, Xu Qing distributed New Year's money to his subordinates one by one - under the supervision of Xun Xueer and others, there will be New Year's red envelopes early tomorrow morning.

Xu Qing had planned to match the men and women in the family with a multi-person wedding before the year, but in the end he was delayed by making a telescope. There are also improved fires in the back. guns, at a loss, it seems that the single men and women of the county mansion will have to wait another year.

In Chang'an City, the curfew was also lifted on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the streets were filled with drunken people. On this day, Xun Fang, who was in charge of Xu Qing's family industry in Chang'an City,

also drank a little wine, in the past three years, he has studied literature and business in Chang'an City, and finally achieved a little success. But he knew that his achievements all came from Xu Qing, who was hundreds of miles away, and his achievements would eventually belong to Xu Qing hundreds of miles away.

But he has no regrets.

In Chang'an City, he is the only one who can enter and exit the mansions of the major princes without relying on posts, and he is also the only one who can go directly in and out of the palace by ordinary people.

What a great honor.

There are also great benefits.

A few months ago, the palace general as a supervisor handed him an olive branch, from the six products will be a supervisor Peng, last year, Chang'an County ordered him to hire him as the city commander, Xun Fang politely declined one by one. All of them are Beijing officials above the sixth grade, and on weekdays, they will give a county order, and the Zhongzhou Assassin will not do it. Xun Fang still refused, just because Xu Qing told him that the officialdom was dangerous, and Chang'an was even more dangerous...... In recent days, it has been rumored that Xu Qing has returned to Luonan and will return to Chang'an in the near future.

In the Tai Chi Palace, red is also posted everywhere.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all dressed in new clothes, and the guards and pavilions everywhere were decorated in strict accordance with the royal etiquette.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Li Yuan set up a banquet, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty worked together, singing and dancing continuously. This is the eighth year, the eighth Chinese New Year's Eve that Li Yuan has spent in the Taiji Palace, and nothing has changed. With such civil and military songs, and such courtiers, Li Yuan suddenly felt that being an emperor was quite boring. Even very tired, it's still good before, he is an official in Taiyuan, enjoying the glory and wealth of the world, and also enjoying the leisure of the world. How could it be reversed, after the reversal, Li Yuan did not have a day of tranquility.

He shook his head, shaking out the hero's twilight thoughts.

The difference from last year is that everyone at this year's banquet seems to be a little forced to laugh, forced to laugh, Wang Xifeng in the Red Chamber died of emaciation after a strong and laughing banquet. This year, the northern Turks attacked on a large scale, and there were still many people in Chang'an City with ill intentions, and Li Yuan also began to feel that there were too many flies and he couldn't finish fighting in this life.

Favoring the prince, Li Yuan smiled, now, the prince has been established for so long, who does not favor him, who does he favor? King Qin jumped up and down, didn't he know? But what did the prince give birth to? Li Yuan thought about it, looked at the prince's side, and counted it, all the princes were happy, what a picture of brothers, friends and brothers!

If only that were the case.

Looking at the courtiers again, the red and purple robes were all looking left and right, smiling and talking. Li Yuan snorted coldly, if it weren't for these individuals picking up between the King of Qin and the crown prince, maybe there would really be brothers, friends and brothers...... Li Yuan forgot for a while, "The most ruthless emperor's family."

If Su Shi was born early, Li Yuan would definitely be able to memorize one of his poems: Everyone wants to be smart, I was mistaken by being smart all my life, I hope that the child will be stupid and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no difficulty to the minister.

Seeing that Li Yuan was drowsy, the accompanying eunuch showed a tired expression, and hurriedly glanced at the other eunuch. One by one, the ministers and the prince slowly stopped talking. Li Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the east of Chang'an City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, that stinky boy is really giving him a few months to travel, and it really took so long.

The ministers hung their heads and heard Li Yuan say, let's stop the banquet.

Immediately, Li Yuan called the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Sixteen Wei Generals, and the left and right servants of Shangshu to the inner hall.

Half an hour later, an edict was sent out from Chang'an, rushing to Luonan, as if to catch up with the edict issued a few days ago.
