The old man Wan Liang said with a sad face: "The master said to the old man that the old man and the anti-thief have no two thousand joints, and they will definitely be beheaded after the autumn." ”

Gao Sheng stood up without saying a word, it seems that the pool of water in Qingxi is really deep enough.

Di Renjie on the side got up, hurriedly comforted Wan Liang, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll wait for the old man to work like a way, and I won't let Ling Lang have an accident." ”

"Thank you, thank you." When the old man Wan Liang thought of the sad place, he suddenly had a handful of snot and tears.

Di Renjie comforted the old man Wan Liang, and suddenly came to Gao Sheng's side, Zou Mei said, "Third brother, this matter couldn't be more obvious. ”

Gao Sheng knew what he meant, and nodded silently.

……

The New Year of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to worshipping ancestors, is also a sacrificial activity, whether it is the government or the people, they are all group sacrifices.

For example, the emperor Lao'er organized civil and military officials during the New Year, held an early dynasty ceremony, and then the official sacrificial activities, and finally if the emperor Lao'er was high-minded, he would give amnesty to the world.

Of course, this is the Spring Festival of the emperor Lao'er, and it has nothing to do with Gao Sheng, a small county man with mud legs.

After all, it is a traveler, and the Spring Festival will naturally be celebrated according to the modern Spring Festival.

There was no couplet during the Spring Festival in the Tang Dynasty, which is really a pity.

So he had already asked people to find a dyeing workshop to dye red paper, and early in the morning of the Spring Festival, he instructed Gao Yue to pull up Di Renjie, who was still lying in bed.

Di Fatzi rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw Gao Sheng first, and said dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, I am tired from the journey for days, and I have visited the people, so I finally took a break during the Spring Festival today, can you let me sleep for a while?" ”

Gao Yue rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Huaiying is so fat, who else, be careful that you are so fat that you can't walk." Yesterday, Uncle Huaiying told Yaya that those who make explosive rods for Yaya are not allowed to sleep lazily and play tricks, even Yaya's child gets up early, Uncle Huaiying won't even be as good as Yaya's child! ”、

The ancients used fire to burn bamboo to burst and make sounds, so it was called "firecrackers".

In ancient times, "firecrackers" were put in order to drive away evil spirits, legend has it that there was an evil called "year" in ancient times, and there were many evils, and people often used firecrackers to make a sound to drive it away, so that a family of old and young people was healthy and everything went well.

In the Tang Dynasty, people called "firecrackers" as "bursting rods". Tang poems have clouds: "The new calendar will only open half of the paper, and the small courtyard is still full of ashes." ”

Di Renjie looked at Gao Yue and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, this girl is also a set of truths, there is really a father and a daughter, and the future of this little girl is probably limitless.

Let a child laugh, Di Renjie had to get up, and without even Gao Sheng speaking, he got up and dressed and washed.

At this moment, the sky has already brightened, and after breakfast, there are already guards who spread the red paper needed by Gao Sheng on the long case, and Wei Yuanzhong has prepared a pen and ink inkstone.

Then Gao Sheng dragged Di Renjie to Chang'an, and the fat man found out that Gao Sheng wanted him to write.

In this group of people, only Di Renjie's handwriting is good, of course, Wei Yuanzhong's handwriting is also good, but Di Renjie's handwriting is even better, and he is the main writer of the high-rise version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Wei Yuanzhong started to polish the ink.

"Third brother, what are you?" Di Renjie asked in surprise, he still has to go to make a blast rod for the New Year, how can he have time to write?

Gao Sheng said: "Huaiying's handwriting is good, you come to write the Spring Festival couplets, and I will read them." ”

"Third brother, what are Spring Festival couplets?" Di Renjie was a little stupid.

The Tang Dynasty did not have the custom of writing Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, and Gao Sheng set a precedent.

For travelers, how can it be called the New Year without Spring Festival couplets?

Gao Sheng glanced at Di Fatzi and said, "You just write, where is so much nonsense." ”

Di Renjie saw that he didn't explain, and his mind was clever, so he didn't bother to ask, and said in his heart, wait until the third brother reads it out, according to the meaning of the Spring Festival couplets, a certain person can guess what the Spring Festival couplets are.

Gao Shengnian: "Make a fortune in spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

"Uh......" Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong were stunned.

Gao Sheng was dissatisfied with Di Renjie's daze, rolled his eyes and said, "Write!" ”

Di Renjie's chubby body shook, and he hurriedly picked up the pen and wrote on the red paper.

Gao Sheng read again: "Good luck in the southeast and northwest." ”

This time, Di Renjie did not pause, and seemed to adapt to Gao Sheng's style.

"Horizontal batch: auspicious stars shine brightly."

As soon as Di Renjie put down the pen, he and Wei Yuanzhong both understood that the Spring Festival couplets were good wishes for the coming year.

This Spring Festival couplet is good, and the New Year should be like this.

Looking at Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong's expressions of sudden realization, Gao Sheng said, "Do you know what the Spring Festival couplets are?" ”

The two nodded.

Gao Sheng smiled and said: "The third brother is a mud leg, Huaiying and Yuan Zhong are both literati, the content of this Spring Festival couplet is naturally captured, one for each door, you two are responsible for this, and I will implement the 'explosive rod'." ”

How can you do it if you don't listen to a sound during the Spring Festival, burning bamboo is too Ote, and he has a more advanced way - gunpowder.

Of course, he wants to make firecrackers, and he also wants his daughter Gao Yue to be happy.

As for whether the secret of gunpowder will be known to Li Zhi, that will be a matter for later.

Gao Sheng recruited Zhang Dazhu, and the two were locked in the house for most of the day and did not come out, and in the afternoon, when Zhang Luo had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Gao Sheng led Zhang Dazhu to appear.

Of course, Gao Sheng would not let Wu Qianjun, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong, as well as the group of janitarian guards, start cooking Chinese New Year's Eve, and the cooking standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty were still a little worse.

There is no frying, stir-frying, how can it be called Chinese New Year's Eve rice?

Roasted whole sheep to get one, Wu Qianjun, who was born in the army, is the best at this, and the rest of the dishes are covered by one person, and a group of guards are busy.

At nightfall, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finally ready.

Firecrackers must be set off before eating, this is the last meal of the year, so naturally you should listen to the sound before eating.

"Pillars." Gao Sheng called out Zhang Dazhu.

In response, Zhang Dazhu ran over.

"Go set off some firecrackers." Gao Sheng commanded.

"Ugh." Zhang Dazhu answered, took the oil lamp, and hurriedly walked to the back room.

"Firecrackers?"

The people who were setting up the dishes and chopsticks in the room were all stunned.

Following the third brother, the thinking is not enough, what is the firearm?

Gao Sheng glanced at the confused eyes of everyone in the room, too lazy to pay attention to it, and even more too lazy to explain.

Gao Yue clapped his little hands excitedly and said with a smile: "Firecrackers, firecrackers." ”

When Zhang Dazhu carried the oil lamp and carefully held a string of paper rolls, everyone in the room was even more dumbfounded.

Di Fat couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and stepped forward to take a closer look at the paper scroll in Zhang Dazhu's hand, but he heard Zhang Dazhu say to him very nervously: "Di Zhubo, don't get closer, be careful to blow you up, that villain will have to eat a lawsuit." ”

"?" Di Renjie was at a loss, he was completely confused.

Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu have been tinkering in the house for most of the day, are they making this thing that will blow people up and call firecrackers?
