In later generations, people of ZG are running for life, looking forward to the Spring Festival holiday at the end of the year, and waiting for a reunion at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared with the monotonous Chinese New Year's Eve when people returned home for a busy year in later generations, they ate a reunion dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala by the TV.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly much livelier, given that it was a big city like Chang'an, no worse than the Brazilian Carnival in later generations.

Li Yu rushed back from Andong a few years ago, but he was ready to go to the streets on Chinese New Year's Eve, which was the most lively and festive night in Chang'an except for the three days of the Shangyuan Festival.

Fortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, the reunion dinner of the New Year family was eaten on the first day of the New Year, and Li Yu did not have to run to the Daming Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a day when the father, the emperor and the queen gather a group of close ministers to feast in the palace, accompany the New Year, and enjoy songs, dances, singing and writing poems to show the closeness of the prince.

As soon as it was dark, a large fire was lit in the courtyard of every house in Chang'an City, and the courtyard was lit up, illuminating the nearby streets through the courtyard walls and gates like street lamps.

On the streets of Chang'an, at night, a procession of people wearing terrible masks spontaneously organized to participate in dance and music performances, playing and singing.

The eldest brother and the second brother accompanied their father and queen mother to keep the New Year in the harem, and Li Yu and the third brother, fifth brother, and sixth sister casually found an excuse not to go. Anyway, the four children do not need to be present in the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace to keep watch.

The four brothers and sisters gathered in the Yanwang Mansion, plus dozens of maids and guards.

Li Yu, as the leader of this team of the prince and princess of Chang'an, put on a terrifying ghost mask and waved his hand.

“Let＇sGo”

……

"Brother Yu, what are you talking about?" Li Xian looked at it and said uncertainly.

Xu Lun, Ling Yue, Xin'er and the others stood still, looking at Li Yu suspiciously.

Li Yu was embarrassed and wanted to touch his nose, but he couldn't touch it while wearing a mask, so he sneered: "Ahem, let's go!" ”

Glancing at the undisguised strange eyes of the maids and attendants, Li Yu's face was slightly red.

After a short period of coldness, Ling Yue opened her mouth: "I'm going to find a woman and a woman!" He ran out of the house first.

Li Yu and the others immediately rushed out, and at this time, there were groups of people from the surrounding neighborhoods who came out wearing ghost masks to participate in the exorcism.

Li Yu and his entourage followed the crowd towards the noisy Suzaku Street.

Rushed to Suzaku Street, Ling Yue, who went out of the palace for the first time to watch the exorcism, was dumbfounded, and Suzaku Street was already full of people who watched the exorcism.

"Fourth brother, there are too many people!" Ling Yue grabbed Li Yu's hand tightly, and said in some surprise, and was a little scared when she saw some ghost masks.

Although the lights on both sides of the street are bright, some people wear ghost masks that are very scary, adding a sense of palpitations against the shining lights.

The naughty little sister was well-behaved instead, and Li Yu squeezed the little sister's hand to give her a sense of security.

Li Xulun said on the side: "Little sister, there are few people tonight, there are many talents on the nights of the three days of the Shangyuan Festival, the first time I followed the fourth brother to play on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, there were many people who couldn't walk, and Zhang Yan was squeezed out all night......"

Li Xulun was deeply impressed by the night of the last Shangyuan Festival, and his little mouth kept chattering. Zhang Yan, the little eunuch who was waiting next to him, was the protagonist who was squeezed by the crowd last time, and finally Jin Wuwei found it the next day. At this time, in the muttering of His Royal Highness, Zhang Yan lowered his head in shame.

Ling Yue's small mouth opened even more into an O-shape, and it was difficult to be confident that what the fifth brother said was true!

"The Exorcist Team is here!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd on the street immediately parted to both sides, blowing and singing from far and near.

I saw the old man and the old woman wearing the mask of the old man and the old woman, jumping and leading the whole team of the people.

With the help of the guards, Li Yu and his party finally squeezed through the crowd to the front.

Li Yu avoided the crowd and squeezed the little sister to it, so he picked up the little sister. Xu Lun was his few little eunuchs who protected him tightly.

"Fourth brother, is that the driving team?"

"Yes." Li Yu pointed to the two leaders and said: "The one who walks in front wearing the mask of the old man and the old woman is the man and the woman, and the one who follows behind them is called the guardian nephew who wears a child's mask, and the one who wears the mask of other ghosts is a very bad ghost." ”

The team of people danced as they walked, played, played and sang, and the professional dancers in front sang songs about how humans beat ghosts fat. Soon walked in front of Li Yu and them, and walked towards the palace. At the back of the procession was a large crowd of people who had organized themselves to dance, most of them who had come to join in the fun.

"What are Brother Yu, Fifth Brother, and Sixth Sister still standing? Let's get up to it! ”

Li Yu looked very excited, beckoned Li Yu and the others, ran into the driving team and jumped blindly with the crowd.

Li Xulun followed the third brother's ass and ran into the team, and took pity on the few little eunuchs beside him, and nervously hurriedly followed and gathered around his Royal Highness, for fear that something would happen to his Royal Highness.

Ling Yue was eager to try, looking at the two brothers who had left, her eyes full of anticipation.

Since the opening of the mansion, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Yu will gather into the team to make a fool, and this year he will not let go. This is Datang's carnival, and it would be a pity not to take the initiative to participate in it.

Didn't you see the crowds standing on both sides of the street constantly joining the procession?

Li Yu didn't disappoint Ling Yue, and ran into the crowded driving team with her, Xin'er and other women gathered around Li Yu and followed the crowd to coax, so it was not lively.

It is estimated that when he arrived, the driving team in Chang'an City that had been in trouble all night went to the Daming Palace and began to disperse after making trouble for a while.

Back in the house, Li Yu's four brothers and sisters hugged the bamboo and threw it into the fire burning in the yard, just to hear the crackling sound of the bamboo.

There is no way, the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty still only exists in the hands of some Taoist priests who pursue immortality in alchemy.

Firecrackers are to throw bamboo into the fire, listen to the air in the hollow in the middle of the bamboo knot expand when it is heated and explode from the bamboo, bursting out of bursts of small golden-red sparks, which are extraordinarily gorgeous and festive at night.

I don't know how Ge Daochang, who has taken a lot of his own money in the past few years, has done gunpowder?

Maybe the people of the Tang Dynasty won't need to throw bamboo into the fire on Chinese New Year's Eve next year, Li Yu thought happily.

When the four brothers and sisters were tired of playing, they sat in the pavilion around the stove to roast the fire, drinking hot tea and eating snacks, watching a group of little maids and eunuchs happily throwing bamboo into the fire, and keeping watch on Chinese New Year's Eve.

A group of maids were collecting brooms and shoes that had been used in the past year and threw them into the fire and burned them, so that they could not be thrown out of the hospital, saying that this would be a good thing to do in the warehouse for the New Year's Day. As for the worn shoes, they were buried in the courtyard, so that the son of a high official would be born in the family.

Li Yu is the king of Yan, so he doesn't care about this, but the maids are trying to be auspicious. The scene in front of me is being played out in every household in Datang.

At this time, the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace is even more lively, and the beautiful and delicious dancers in thin skirts and Rosa dance to the music in the middle of the hall.

The festive atmosphere was permeated in the Zichen Palace, Li Zhi and Empress Wu raised their glasses to the ministers, and the ministers raised their glasses in return.

The banquet seemed relaxed and pleasant, and although the invited minister could not spend Chinese New Year's Eve with his family, he could not be invited by the two saints to accompany the New Year, which can be described as an incomparable honor.

As soon as the hour came, the bells and drums rang out in unison. At the moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, according to the custom, the people who keep the New Year at home get up one after another, the younger generations salute the elders, the slaves kowtow to the masters, and everyone says some auspicious words for the New Year.

The maids and servants in King Yan's mansion came one after another to kowtow to the four Li Yu brothers and sisters and blessed: "I wish Your Highness and the princess...... Blessing and New Day, Celebrating Birthday Without Borders......"
