Chapter 48: Chinese New Year's Eve (Part I)

After two weeks, Chen Yi's wound has completely healed, and in two weeks, Chen Yi lived like a pig, completely able to open his mouth with food and reach out with his clothes.

Sleep until you wake up naturally,Every morning there are maids to bring toiletries,During this period, Chen Yi in order to protect his teeth,Finally invented a simple version of the toothbrush,Of course, there are a lot of stories during the period。

It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and in ancient times, it was time for them to manage the year. In modern China, there is a popular saying that if you have money, you can't afford to go home for the New Year.

And the most important thing in age is to worship ancestors, so in the Fuguo Mansion, Luo Pengfei first opened the ancestral hall, sent someone to clean it, and at the same time packed up the offerings to prepare for the sacrifice. Luo Pengfei's relatives also came a lot, what seven aunts and eight aunts.

Because Luo Pengfei is long, the ancestral hall is in the Fuguo Mansion. Before you know it, a new year is coming. This year is a bumper harvest year, and every household is happily preparing for the New Year. Although Chen Yi won the reward of the imperial court, his manor was still in the planning, and he had to live in Luo Xiao's family temporarily.

During the Chinese New Year, there is also one of the most important links, which is to distribute New Year's money. The New Year's money of the Fuguo Mansion is very exquisite, specially ordered people, with more than 100 taels of broken gold, cast 220 small coins, there are plum blossom type, there are begonia type, as well as pen ingot Ruyi, eight treasures Lianchun and so on different styles. At the beginning of the sacrifice, there is a band playing music, a total of three offerings, and then the first time the silk is burned, and then all the participants in the sacrifice bow together.

The time to worship ancestors is in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the biggest ritual of the New Year. When I came to the ancestral hall, the children had already lined up to greet them. The chief priest was originally Luo Pengfei.

After sacrificing the ancestral hall, the team went to the main hall to worship the ancestral statue. The family members and servants were all outside the Yimen, and the sons and nephews of the Fuguo Mansion lined up one after another under the corridor from the Yimen to the main hall. Outside the threshold of the main hall are Luo Pengfei and Luo Fengze, and inside the threshold are all the female dependents. Only Luo Xiaodie, because she is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, is also in the threshold with her daughter. Offerings to the rice, soup, wine and tea, whenever a dish comes up, it is the first to the Yimen, and then passed to Luo Pengfei's hands, Luo Pengfei passed Luo Fengze and other direct descendants of the Luo family, after the offerings were placed, Luo Pengfei bowed down with incense, and the people of the Fuguo Mansion also knelt down. Kneel down without tightness, and after kneeling down, Chen Yi took a closer look, and actually put five halls, three hugging buildings, inner and outer corridors, stairs and steps, and flowers, and there was no gap in the open space, you can imagine how spectacular the scene is.

Next, it is time to bow to the current highest elder of the Luo family. Everyone then came to Luo Pengfei's main room, Luo Pengfei and Mrs. Shi were sitting on the high hall, according to the seniority, men together, women together, respectively saluting, in order to worship the Venerable. After worshipping the honor, you have to worship the elder. Then they sat down one by one and accepted the salutes of the men, women and maids of the two houses. At the same time as receiving the gift, he began to scatter the New Year's money, including the prepared gold and silver bills and purses. Of course, Hui Chenyi also got a big red envelope.

"Fluttershy, you'll have Chenyi sit next to you." Mrs. Shi smiles at Fluttershy.

"Chenyi, mother asked you to sit with me later." Luo Xiaodie wears a light blue silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterflies, and only the sleeves are wider than usual, and the wind is sassy. The waist is tightly tucked, and below is a long skirt embroidered with goose yellow embroidered white magnolia. Comb a simple peach heart bun, only wear a few stars of milky white pearl Yingluo, reflecting the cloud silk black and shiny, obliquely a jade hairpin hanging a thin wisp of silver tassel A beautiful heart-shaped face, small and straight nose, willow leaf-like curved eyebrows, thin lips, the dense green silk is softly put down, hanging out of the barrel. With a pleasant expression on his face, a charming smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he strolled to Chen Yi's side.

"Fluttershy, long time no see, I miss you so much." Luo Ming saw Fluttershy come over and stood beside Luo Xiaodie like a pug, a fiery look flashed in his eyes, but he was still clearly seen by Chenyi, and it seemed that he would have to pay more attention to it later.

Luo Ming looked at Luo Xiaodie, and his heart was hot, his parents were just distant relatives of the Luo family, and their status was average, but as long as he remembered that he was enduring it for two days, and after his parents prepared things, he would not only be able to get Luo Xiaodie, but also get a large amount of property, and the Luo family would have to beg me to marry Luo Xiaodie, which was killing two birds with one stone.

"Fluttershy, who was that guy who just asked you?" Chen Yi, who was sitting next to Luo Xiaodie, asked quietly.

"His name is Luo Ming, the son of my aunt's sister-in-law's younger brother, he didn't study well since he was a child, relying on his father, running rampant and domineering in the town, doing misdeeds, I don't know how many girls he has harmed." When Chen Yi heard it, he didn't want to look like a dog, it turned out to be a scumbag.

"Who's his father?"

"His father is the county magistrate." In ancient counties, with a population of more than 10,000 households, the county officials were called county orders, with a rank of 600 to 1,000 stones; Those below 10,000 households are weighed in length, and the rank is 300 to 500 stones. "Jin Order" cloud: Thousands of county households have been up, and five hundred states and counties have been governed, all of which are orders; Dissatisfied with this is long.

Luo Ming looked at Luo Xiaodie and Chen Yi talking and laughing, in his heart, Luo Xiaodie was already his person, and at this time he was already secretly thinking that he would insult Chen Yi if he had the opportunity.

After receiving the gift and distributing the money, the whole family began to feast. Throughout the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, not only was the Fuguo Mansion brightly lit, but the streets of the capital were all lit up, with firecrackers blaring and laughter.

"You guys just drink, it's not interesting, why don't we play the wine order, and the person who loses recites a poem?" Luo Xiao stood up and said to the people present.

"Okay."

"We beat the drum and pass the flowers, and when the drums stop, the flowers will be chanted in whoever is in their hands."

"How about we use plum blossoms as the topic?"

It is also a coincidence, there is a two-foot-high plum blossom in the courtyard, and there is a horizontal branch longitudinally next to it, about five or six feet long, during which the twigs are divergent, or solitary cutting like a pen, or densely gathered like a forest, the flowers spit rouge, and the incense period is orchid.

Boom, the drums rang out in the hall. After hearing the sound of the drums, a man stood up, looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, and chanted the verses in his heart:

"The peach is not fragrant and the apricot is not red, and the cold has laughed at the east wind.

The soul flies to Gengling, and the spring is difficult to distinguish, and the dream of Luofu is not passed.

The green calyx adds red and melts the torch, and the fairy helps the drunk across the residual red.

It seems that it is an ordinary color, and the shade is made by him in the ice and snow. ”

Everyone applauded, and the drums began to beat in the hall again. After the drum stopped, the red flower happened to stay in Luo Xiao's hand. Everyone was curious about what kind of poems Luo Xiao used.
