Year-end, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Artenis got up early in the morning. On the head of the bed is a large-sleeved plain skirt tailored to her by Qiao Su. On the other side of the shelf, there is also a set of fiery red, very solemn-looking Jin Luo Luan gorgeous clothes. That's the dress we will wear when we go to the Temple of Heaven together tomorrow.

Qin Cang's family still lives in this compound not far from the port. However, the compound has been expanded twice and turned into a small palace covering an area of 1,000 acres. For this reason, Qin Cang also spent a lot of money to buy the property rights of the people next to him.

Of course, the family has to live together. Artenis still remembers that he and Qin Cang fought until midnight last night, why didn't he see anyone this morning?

Changing into the traditional costume of the Han Chinese, Artenis took a turn in front of a glass mirror at the head of the bed, and contentedly put away the old clothes he had brought from Constantinople.

If you come here, let it be safe. She thought so.

There are still a lot of bubbles on this piece of glass, and the color is not pure, but it is already one of the masterpieces of the glass strategy group. They have now stopped their research and are going home for the New Year.

Whether it is Chijing, Linhai County, Desheng County, Baoxi County, or Luzhou and Sezhou, everyone begins to celebrate the New Year. Under the auspices of the Taoist Laojun Temple, there are also small-scale performances held. Even foreigners who have just had to celebrate the New Year have joined the celebration of the New Year with the help of the people around them.

Lion dances and temple fairs have also appeared in various villages.

As an imperial family, Artenis rarely participated in such events. And this year's calendar has been revised, and the winter solstice has not had time, so the New Year is particularly grand.

The first is to clean the house.

A family of one man, four women, two sons and one daughter, usually there are loyal and stable maids cleaning at home, so it is said to be cleaning, in fact, everyone is playing for show.

No, you see that Qiao Su was still holding Qin Hongding's hand to wipe the glass just on.

Mornings are spent in the midst of hustle and bustle. Qin Cang also squeezed in, poked in the east and poked in the west, making the room full of dust. Then he was chased and beaten by his wives again.

For such a scene, Artenis has seen it very openly. It's just the first time she's been involved.

Stirred with honey in his heart, Artenis returned to the house and wrote a letter to Wang Chang in the port of Sophia.

“...... Tell him that I'm doing well and that I miss him. Bring this letter to him. And also....... I made the dumplings myself...... Forget it, the dumplings will be bad. Please help me make a plate of dumplings for my father. ”

Dumplings are to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. So at noon, the four women who had been practicing for a long time with the dishes at home went into battle and took their children to wrap dumplings together.

As for their dumplings.......

Qin Cang can only say that you are wrapping Indian dumplings? How is it so big?

Even Qiao Su was big and small, and the best craftsmanship present was actually Qin Cang himself! Qin Cang, who has loved eating dumplings since he was a child, has a first-hand dumpling technique.

It's just that there is no good flour here, and the flour used for wheat milling is also grainy because of the roughness of the windmill. But then again, the modern powdery flour is indeed a heavenly delicacy here.

In the afternoon, the four women of Qiao Su and the maids hung the new couplet at the entrance of the palace.

And the people crowded outside the palace. In some ways, this couplet represents the main direction of the year, that is, the 'thematic idea' of the Han Dynasty.

[Destroy the East and the West, and the peace of a country]

【Prospering business goods to ensure the right way, Dahan all the best】

How so......

It is said that Meng Zhuoyan, Qin Changan and others were all thinking about how to write a better couplet after returning home, and secretly changed it at night, so as not to be too embarrassed when future generations read the history books.

And the students of the newly built Guozijian began to boast that their writing skills were much better than on the Internet.

In short, Qin Cang once again drew a straight line for the low level of domestic culture, which made many half-hung literati feel that they were actually quite good.

When evening came, they all came to a small room on the east side of the courtyard. It is a stately furnished place.

"Qin Canggou, the son of Xiao, gave his life to the west of the country. However, in the end, I can't welcome the spirit to return to Shangluo, which is a regret in my life. May the ancestors understand that in the future, there is no need to blame future generations for returning to their homeland. This new nation is our land.........."

Qin Cang offered incense with both hands, knelt on the cushion and saluted the ancestors of the past dynasties. What is well documented, of course, is that Qin Cang goes back three generations. But three generations ago, there were many mistakes because of the distance of thousands of miles. This beggar army, from the leader to the small soldiers, is all peasant mud legs, so no one will remember anything more than three generations of grandchildren. Everyone just vaguely remembers that you are from Chang'an, you are from Shangzhou, you are from Luoyang, and you are from Mengjin...... And after thousands of miles, everyone can't even tell the difference.

"What is he doing?" Artenis thought to herself.

But even if she didn't understand, she knew that it was a very solemn ceremony, so she obediently bowed on the cushion like other women.

It was only after leaving the room that Sophia whispered to Artenis about the custom.

"The Han people prefer to worship their ancestors rather than believe in gods. Recently, Liu Yujing Shangshu is promoting the attached Jun Temple, which is this. Attract everyone to the Laojun Temple to worship the ancestors. For the Han Chinese, this is more important than the god of the old monarch. ”

Is it?

Artenis didn't know how to be good. All the pagans in Chijing were subject to the administration of the Ministry of Religion. And it is very important that the infidels need to be registered, and that things that are not in line with the Han people must be deleted.

The biggest reaction was carried out by the Greeks. Because this regulation is actually aimed at the Orthodox Church. They are the only ones in the country who clash with the Han Chinese in terms of their habits, but precisely because they are Greeks, they react the least under the butcher's knife.

The Tatars, the other large group, were left out, consciously or unconsciously. Whether it was the Immortal Heaven or the Buddha, or Allah, Liu Yujing exerted twelve points of strength to divide and disintegrate, and the effect was very good.

Samaren of the Gudil ministry announced his decision to accept Taoism as his faith just last month. and turned the immortal heavenly tool into Taishang Laojun and merged the two into one.

The night came, the vigil.

Qin Cang gave his sons New Year's money one by one.

The moon rises, one moon, two hometowns.

It was already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year when Wang Chang got the letter.

He sent it to Constantine XI with two grates of dumplings and two letters. With tears in his eyes, the king ate the dumplings that were said to have been made by his daughter, and then burst into tears.

Until this time, he still experienced the feeling of being alone all the time.
