The time is close to the Chinese New Year, and in just a few days, Luo Yan couldn't bear Qu Tuquan's bitter pleading, and followed him to Jiyaxuan. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is in the Lu Mansion at other times, and follows Lu Deming to do learning.

Luo Yan had told his brother-in-law before that he would not leave until the first lunar month, so he prepared his bags early, but Luo Yan wanted to set off after the Shangyuan Festival. In this New Year's month, even if the price is high, it is not easy to find a coachman to go to Luzhou.

A few days passed like this, and Chinese New Year's Eve arrived in an instant.

Although the Chinese New Year is not as beautiful as decorating one's own house like getting married and marrying a daughter-in-law, the subordinates of the Lu Mansion are also tired these days. Almost every house has been carefully cleaned and some of the old décor has been replaced with new ones. There are still big red lanterns hanging in many places in the house.

Lu Fuzi's son did not arrive in Chang'an before the Chinese New Year, so this year, Lu Fu is still Lu Deming's old couple, plus Ying'er and Luo Yan. However, with the two juniors, Luo Yan and Ying'er, it will never make Lu Deming and his wife feel lonely.

There are no fireworks, there is no door god, but Chinese New Year's Eve is not simple.

The peach charm needs to be changed. Originally, it was enough to write the words Yu Lei and Shen Tu on the peach talisman, but Luo Yan insisted on holding two pieces of peach wood, found a painter in Chang'an City, and painted these two great gods according to the portraits circulated among the people.

The little girl Ying'er was very interested in the two imposing-looking portraits painted on the wood chips, although she took down the old peach charm and hung the new peach charm, but Ying'er was very interested in this process, and she had to hang it herself with a small bench cushion.

Meng Chang, the emperor of Hou Shu, wrote on the peach charm, "New Year's Yuqing, Jiajie Changchun." "This is the first Spring Festival couplet. Originally, it was supposed to be a place for Spring Festival couplets, but Luo Yan made it a door god, so Luo Yan was naturally unwilling to let go of the Spring Festival couplets. On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Luo Yan had a whole day in the East and West Markets in order to fulfill his promise to Ying'er on the one hand, and on the other hand, to do New Year's goods.

Lu Deming had no objection to Luo Yan taking Ying'er out, and when Luo Yan asked Lu Deming for instructions on the first day, the old master readily agreed. Originally, Luo Yan was going to give Ying'er a surprise, who knows where she got the news from, she waited at Luo Yan's door early in the morning, and Luo Yan was so scared that she was careful when she got up.

Those chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables and the like, Luo Yan naturally didn't need to buy them, and the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion had already arranged them. What Luo Yan wants to prepare now is the gifts to be given to relatives and friends on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This thing naturally can't be sloppy. Luo Yan thought about it carefully, his teacher and his wife needed to send something, and the little girl Ying'er was also indispensable, as well as Kong Yingda, who was particularly familiar with several bachelors of the Literature Museum, and then Qu Tuquan and Mr. Zhao, who had taken special care of him in the secretary province before. Originally, Cui Ying was going to be added, but this goods had already returned to Boling, so it could only be delayed to the back.

As for others like Li Shimin, well, Li Shimin will have a banquet to entertain his think tank during the New Year, and Luo Yan is naturally qualified to participate. Regarding the matter of gift-giving, after asking Lu Deming, looking at his teacher looking at him with a foolish look, Luo Yan knew that he was guilty of two crimes. As a staff member, you only need to seriously make suggestions for your proprietor, what kind of gifts and so on, will people look at it?

The gift to Lu Deming and his wife, Luo Yan, took a lot of time. What was given to Lu Deming was Luo Yan's hand-copied "Annotations to the Analects", this book brought together the thoughts of many people in later generations, Luo Yan here, selected the annotations that were more suitable for Lu Deming's style, and also added his own thoughts, which can be regarded as re-editing the book in his head. This can be regarded as a learning report to Lu Deming.

As for Mrs. Lu's gift, Luo Yan, who was blind as a gift, finally put his mind on the decorations. I walked through a lot of jade shops, and finally found an ornament carved with pine cranes. After buying this Luo Yan, it can be regarded as a breath of relief, and I really miss all kinds of nutritional tonic for future generations.

As for the scholars of the Literature Museum, the gifts prepared by Luo Yan were things like idle chapter calligraphy and painting. Anyway, people don't seem to lack anything, and it's a bit fake to get something too precious by yourself.

The most important thing is the gift of the little girl.

After all, she came out to buy things with her, and Luo Yan naturally couldn't let her find out what she bought for herself. Therefore, Luo Yan's gift to the little girl Ying'er is very special.

Along the way, I followed Luo Yan to buy a lot of gifts for others, and I also ate a lot of delicious food while walking. But until she went home, the little girl Ying'er hadn't seen Luo Yan prepare a gift for herself. At this moment, the little girl was a little unhappy. threw all the things in his hand to Luo Yan, pouted and walked in front of Luo Yan alone, ignoring Luo Yan.

In this way, the two walked to the Lu Mansion wordlessly.

After entering the Lu Mansion, the little girl Ying'er turned her head and glared fiercely, ran to Luo Yan with small steps, stepped on Luo Yan fiercely, and kept muttering: "I'm angry." Then he ran away. Leaving Luo Yan alone, his feet hurt so much that he couldn't throw the things in his hands down and rub his feet.

Put away the things you bought, and Luo Yan is about to prepare a gift for Ying'er.

After getting along for more than half a year, Luo Yan also likes this quirky little girl. Originally, I wanted to buy some more jewelry or fabrics for the little girl, but when I thought of these things, Lu Fu must have them, but the little girl is not old enough to use them.

So Luo Yan thought about making a gift for Ying'er.

Previously, Luo Yan bought a few more pieces of colored paper under the pretext of writing Spring Festival couplets. With the development of hard yellow paper, some people fill the color of the paper with pigment, and naturally there are all kinds of colored paper. And some hard yellow paper has the hardness and toughness, which can be used to make origami.

That's right, Luo Yan's gift to the little girl Ying'er was origami wind chimes.

In fact, he doesn't know many origami styles. In my previous life, when I was chasing my sister, I also learned to fold thousands of paper cranes, and so on. But in addition, Luo Yan also learned a trick, that is, folding lantern wind chimes. And now the gift he wants to give to Ying'er is this.

Compared with something as full of love as a thousand paper cranes and hearts, for this little girl who regards Luo Yan as her sister, wind chimes are the most suitable.

Although there is no such a good little bell now, it can already make the little girl happy with its beautiful appearance.

At that moment, Luo Yan began his great gift business.

After all, he hadn't done this for a long time, and Luo Yan had been origami paper since he returned to the room, to posing all the lanterns and making the style of wind chimes, and the time had long since passed. Rubbing his sore eyes, Luo Yan collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

However, because of the long time of going to bed late and getting up early, the biological clock urged Luo Yan to get up at the next hour. After washing, Luo Yan first wrote the Spring Festival couplets on several doors, and then went to find Master Lu. Of course, there was no need to go to the study today, Luo Yan went directly to the backyard.

The little girl was very resentful, and when she saw Luo Yan at this time, she still looked very annoyed. However, Luo Yan couldn't care about coaxing her, and found Lu Deming, and Luo Yan began to ask for instructions on pasting Spring Festival couplets.

After all, this has not yet become popular, and it is still necessary to be cautious to post such a thing at the door of your home. What's more, Luo Yan is only living here, and in doing so, he still has to ask his own teacher's opinion, otherwise, it will really be a substitute.

Listening to Luo Yan's instructions, Lu Deming was very open-minded. In his mind, it was nothing more than to put what Meng Chang did on paper, and there was nothing rude about it. What's more, my own scholarly family, writing so many strokes on the big red paper at the door during the New Year, is it more spring-like.

agreed with Luo Yan's idea, and then Lu Deming had to look at what Luo Yan wrote.

As for calligraphy, Lu Fuzi will not worry. This disciple of his own family doesn't know how to practice, but calligraphy is much better than his own teacher.

Hearing the teacher's agreement, Luo Yan was naturally very pleased. ran back to his room, rolled up the Spring Festival couplets written to the door of the Lu Mansion, and ran to Lu Deming's residence.

Spread out the Spring Festival couplets on the table, and Luo Yan asked his teacher to check them.

The body of the book is in Lishu, in Luo Yan's mind, the twists and turns of the silkworm head and swallowtail Lishu are worthy of being in the mansion of a great Confucian like Lu Deming, because it looks very heavy. Well, in fact, he is also guilty of thinking so.

As for the content, Luo Yan did not choose the vulgar couplet of "Spring is full of blessings", but took the words from the Confucian classics and made up such a Spring Festival couplet.

"From thinking about it, I read the unfinished book as if I was thinking about it."

"Yan Ruosi" comes from the first chapter of the "Book of Rites", and "Haoran Qi" comes from "Mencius. Gongsun Chou Shang". As for the completed and unfinished books, they are expressed on the premise of confrontation.

Such a couplet naturally made Lu Deming nod. Luo Yan can have such a level and apply what he has learned to life, and he is naturally very pleased to be a teacher. What's more, the ambition of Luo Yan made Lu Demingdi's own disciple feel appreciated all the time.

After reading the entire Spring Festival couplets, Lu Deming ordered his subordinates to stick them on both sides of the gate of the Lu Mansion.

For such a new thing, not only the subordinates of the Lu Mansion felt novel, but in fact, the old master Lu Deming was also quite interested. After the next person came to tell Lu Deming that the couplet had been pasted, regardless of the cold weather outside, and put on a big hat, Lu Deming let Luo Yan help him to the door of his mansion, looking at the ink on the red couplet, Lu Deming habitually stroked his beard and laughed.

And on the street, there were also many pedestrians who looked at the novelty of Lu Mansion and came to watch, so that the housekeeper of Lu Mansion had to send two subordinates to watch it, in case others did not take the two pieces of paper away.

There are many people here who know that this was definitely written by Luo Yan. Now Luo Yan's handwriting is worth a lot of money in the calligraphy and painting market.
