Chapter 44 Spring Festival couplets and door gods

Li Tao, who was 'reprimanded' by Li Kong, no longer had the face to continue to stay in the other courtyard, and fled back to the backyard in a slightly embarrassed manner.

Towards the end of the evening, the green bamboo girl finally returned. Bring back a lot of more than a hundred goods, in addition to beef and mutton, there are many things that Li Kong has never seen, that long thing is a yam? Are there yams in this era? Should...... Yes, right?

I looked through some casually, and found that most of them were some food, but there were not many things used, only three clothes, one was Li Yue'e's, and the other two were Li Kong's.

Although they are rich, there is basically no difference between the people of this era during the New Year except for eating a little better, and they are more experiencing the strong atmosphere of the New Year.

"Where's your clothes? Why not? Li Kong put down the clothes in his hand, looked at Cuizhu and asked.

Cuizhu was slightly stunned, and said: "We haven't had it all the time, but the young master doesn't have to worry, the servants started to make some clothes for themselves a month ago, although the material is refurbished, but it is almost the same as new." ”

Li Kong frowned, and said: "Now there is still a period of time before the Shangyuan Festival, let's not talk about the New Year, hurry up and let people customize, and all the new clothes must be worn during the Shangyuan Festival." ”

When the words landed, Cuizhu was stunned, and at the same time there was a strong feeling of emotion in her heart, although she had been with Li Kong for a long time, and knew that this eldest young master would never look down on them, but when he really took practical action, Cuizhu was inevitably moved.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up, by the way, get a few sets of Spring Festival couplets over, what year did you not have Spring Festival couplets? Li Kong waved his hand impatiently, and then turned around and entered the bedroom.

In fact, he just wanted to say that he would buy some more door gods, but when he thought about it, there was no door god at this time, and it would take more than ten years before the birth of the door god, so this was not realistic at all.

But the so-called creation without it, so Li Kong was going to go into the house to get a few sets of portraits of the door gods, and even he chose the characters, absolutely positive.

It's just that Li Kong thinks that the arrangement is perfect, but when he arrives at Cuizhu, he is completely blind, especially the Spring Festival couplets, what the hell is that?

In this era, the Spring Festival couplets have not been completely formed, no, not even the middle of the growth stage, just the initial prototype, commonly known as the 'peach fu', the peach fu is a woman with a needle and thread sewn into the shape of the peach heart sachet, there are generally only two or three words on it, as long as it seems to mean to figure it out, and then hang on both sides of the gate, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make the gate look less blank, it is a longing for people for the new year: the coming year will not be poor and white.

The real development of the Spring Festival couplets was not until the Ming Dynasty, and the peak was after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is obvious that Li Kong's plan is destined to fail.

Cuizhu, who wanted to make this matter clear to Li Kong, was a little entangled, she knew this eldest young master too well, if it was okay, it would be fine, once Li Kong was busy, she hated being disturbed by others the most, and once she was almost trained, so she didn't want to touch her head.

Fortunately, Li Yue'e didn't know what the Spring Festival couplets were, so she comforted Cuizhu, sent her out to buy other things, and went straight to Li Kong's room.

"What? Don't have couplets? Li Kong looked at Li Yue'e in surprise, and then sighed helplessly, okay, there were indeed no Spring Festival couplets in the Tang Dynasty, as for the peach charm, he did find a few peach heart-shaped things in those New Year's goods just now, but those didn't seem to be bought, but made by a few of Cuizhu's female subordinates.

Originally, Li Kong didn't think about it at all, but now...... It seems that I want to take out the Spring Festival couplets in advance, after all, I have lived in modern society for decades, and if there is no Spring Festival couplets, I am really not used to it.

"It's really not, that empty child, what the hell is the Spring Festival couplets?"

"This one...... Mother, don't ask yet, in this way, you go and ask someone to cut some red strips of cloth, the width is about one palm, and the length is temporarily set at three feet, well, let's come to six pairs first, and the rest will be said after I do it. ”

If Li Kong said this before, Li Yue'e would definitely have to say a few words, after all, in today's world, cloth is very expensive, otherwise Li Shimin and his royal family would not even be able to afford new clothes every year.

But now, Li Kong has too much money in his hands, so much so that Li Yue'e won't care about it at all, or rather, with Li Kong's earning ability, those cloths really need as much as they want, and it should be okay to waste a little, right? It has nothing to do with being thrifty and thrifty, well, it just doesn't matter.

With a hint of apprehension, Li Yue'e left Li Kong's room, and asked people to cut the strips of cloth and send them to Li Kong......

The next day, a moment before dawn.

Li Kong threw away the wolf hair in his hand with a tired face, and looked at the ten paintings in front of him with satisfaction, to be precise, it should be five pairs, on the left is Changshan Zhao Zilong, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, wearing a white robe, holding a spear, and a golden sword at his waist, majestic.

The one on the right is Ran Min, the martial mourning king of the Wuhu period, but Ran Min here was simply dealt with by Li Kong, looking a little fierce and vicious, but with a touch of righteousness and awe-inspiring.

As for those Spring Festival couplets, they are all more famous in previous lives, such as 'thousands of households, always replace new peaches with old charms' and so on.

Rubbing his somewhat numb face, he turned around and lay on his back on the soft floor, pulled up the quilt and began to sleep.

This night, Li Kong slept directly until noon before he was woken up by Li Yue, who was worried about him, opened his confused eyes, and looked at Li Yue's worried expression, this thing finally had a little heart, and quickly turned over and sat up, and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" I was a little late last night, and besides, you don't know your son's body yet, so there will be no problem. ”

Li Yue'e exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "My mother knows, but my mother is worried, since it's okay, let's get up quickly, lunch is ready, and I will sleep after eating." ”

"No, since they're all up, then they won't sleep, besides, they have to paste these door gods and Spring Festival couplets in the afternoon, without the guidance of their son, those people don't know what it will be."

Li Yue'e was distracted by the Spring Festival couplets and door gods placed on the table, she had already seen it when she came just now, but her knowledge was not high, she only studied with Empress Changsun for a few years when she was in Li Shimin's mansion, but basic literacy and literacy can still be done.

But she didn't find anything special except that she felt that the meaning of those Spring Festival couplets was good, and as for that god, well, she didn't know one.

But since it's a son who worked hard all night to get it, post it, anyway, there are no outsiders in this courtyard, and the right is for his son's entertainment, well, the mind of being a mother is so simple!
