The time soon came to Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone has put on new clothes, and the Wu family has made far more money in business this year than in previous years, plus Wu Yuanqing is generous to people, so Yishui's subordinates are all new clothes with good materials, of course, they are the best materials that people can wear.

The eldest girl was reading a book in the house, and the second girl was running around the yard alone, and a few maids who served her behind were trotting all the way to watch.

Wu Yuanqing commanded his subordinates to chop firewood and pull coal from yard to yard. This is the custom of Wu Yuanqing in later generations, when the New Year is over the fifteenth year, they must build a fire plate in the courtyard, commonly known as a small fire, and then light it up before dawn on the morning of the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The more the fire burns, the more prosperous the year will be.

Wu Yuanqing strives to have a Spring Festival that he is familiar with.

In the evening, they also have to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meals, but people like the Wu family are honest Chinese New Year's Eve there is really no difference between what they eat on weekdays, and later Wu Yuanqing is used to eating delicious on the morning of the first day of the new year, and even the dumplings are eaten at noon on the first day of the new year.

So whenever he saw the host at the Spring Festival Gala say that steaming dumplings were served on the table, Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but slander, not every place eats dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, there is no Spring Festival party, but there is a custom of keeping the New Year, that is, staying up for the New Year, what should I do?

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is not much different from peacetime, it was the turn of the song and dance troupe established by Wu Yuanqing to perform, singing and dancing, playing solo instruments, and ensembles in turn.

The family is sipping melon seeds and peanuts and eating fruits and enjoying the song and dance, and Wu Yuanqing has a large round table in front of him, on which there is a dustpan and grate (a plate made of sorghum stalks), and then there are several porcelain basins, one basin is dough, and the other few have adjusted pork and cabbage filling, mutton and green onion filling, and several kinds of dumpling filling.

Because at this time, dumplings are not called dumplings, they are called glaive-shaped wontons, and the way to eat them is not the same as that of later generations, so if you want to eat authentic dumplings in later generations, Wu Yuanqing can only do it himself.

Wu Yuanqing shook his head and listened to the song and hummed, while quickly pinching the dumplings in his hands.

By the time it was almost midnight, that is, after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the dumplings that were enough for their family of six to eat were all kneaded.

Let the maid clean up the table, Wu Yuanqing began to knock on melon seeds and wait for the middle of the night to come, at this time there were no sunflower seeds, so he could only knock watermelon, winter melon, pumpkin seeds instead.

In the middle of the night, the sound of the watch rang outside on time, and the bell tower in the distance also rang a melodious and clear bell.

Wu Yuanqing rushed to the place where the firecrackers were placed on the side, picked up the basket full of firecrackers, took the lit incense, and went out to the courtyard.

First Bang, Bang Bang put a few two kicks, and then he began to put his own fire whip with a hundred rings and a hang, put two fire whips, put a few second kicks, and then put a fire whip, and then two kicks.

The movement on the Wu family's side attracted the attention of many neighbors in the surrounding area, and the Wuhou who patrolled the street came to knock on the door and asked what was going on at home.

After setting off the firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the New Year, the New Year's festival is over, and the family goes back to the house to wash and sleep.

Wu Yuanqing's mood was agitated, this was the first Spring Festival he had in Datang, and it was almost the same Spring Festival as the later generations, I don't know if the parents of later generations can feel the blessings from Datang thousands of years ago.

With the thought of his parents and relatives in the future, Wu Yuanqing fell asleep, and then at dawn, as soon as his husband was watched, Wu Yuanqing woke up from his sleep again.

It was just five o'clock in the future, and it was still the darkest time, so Wu Yuanqing couldn't wait to wake up the maid Zijuan in the outhouse and let her serve and get dressed.

Then Wu Yuanqing walked out of the courtyard with rabbit skin gloves and a fire fold, and Zijuan followed behind with a can of fire oil.

Wu Yuan Qinglei's small fire, in the middle is a bundle of firewood and beans, wrapped with coal on the outside, and a small opening in front is used for ignition.

took the fire oil and poured a little on the small fire, Wu Yuanqing lit the broken hemp rod with a fire fold, stretched out to the ignition port and lit the flammable beans inside, and then took the broom and began to fan it vigorously from the ignition port.

As the wind blew, the bean basket ignited the firewood, which lit the coal with the help of the oil, and the small fire became more and more vigorous.

lit a small fire in his yard, Wu Yuanqing ran to the courtyard of the Yang clan of the warrior to light the fire, and then the eldest girl and the second girl, Wu Yuanshuang's were all lit, and Wu Yuanqing began to take out firecrackers and put them up again.

With the sound of firecrackers, the sleeping Wu family woke up instantly, and then the small fires in each courtyard were also lit by the people, and the kitchen began to jingle to prepare a big meal, far more hearty than last night, which was also arranged by Wu Yuanqing, he still prefers to eat plates on the morning of the first day of the new year.

After the warriors and Yang clan got up, the family came to the ancestral hall to offer incense to their ancestors. Originally, the eldest girl and the second girl were not qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship, only the male and the main mother of the family, that is, the Yang family, could enter, but Wu Yuanqing didn't care about that, it was a family that shared so much, pulled the eldest girl and the second girl into the ancestral hall, and kowtowed under the leadership of Wu Shiyi.

After worshipping the ancestors, then wait for the big meal.

Wu Yuanqing looked at the red and prosperous fire, the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door, and the firecracker crumbs in one place, feeling the strong festive atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel the poetry: "In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu." Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. ”

"Good poems, good poems" Wu Yuanqing shamelessly boasted to himself, without the slightest sense of shame of plagiarizing other people's poems.

After eating the morning dinner, Wu Yuanqing led his younger brothers and sisters to start looking for cheap dad and mother to press the New Year's money, poofed on his knees and kowtowed to the ground, and after kowtowing, he stretched out his hand and waited to get the money.

At this time, except for the habit of scattering money in the palace, there was no such rule among the people. Both Wu Shiyan and Yang were confused by Wu Yuanqing's inexplicable movements.

Wu Yuanqing could only helplessly explain to the two of them what is New Year's money, and after explaining, he stretched out his hand and shouted Happy New Year red envelopes, and Wu Yuanshuang's eldest and second girls also reached out and shouted.

made Wu Shiyan and Yang laugh, and hurriedly asked people to take the money.

Wu Yuanqingzheng counted the New Year's money that had just arrived, and saw three small Qi brushes come to him, Qi brushes and brushes, Wanfu, and then Qi brushes stretched out their hands to press the New Year's money.

The bitter Wu Yuanqing could only watch the money that was not yet warm up being asked to leave by the three small ones.

"I'll go, Wu Yuanqing, your family is making a lot of trouble, it's more prosperous than in the palace" Li Chengqian, Xiangcheng led a bunch of younger siblings and walked in.

"The prince said something wrong, they are so lively, they are obviously disturbing the people"
