Chapter 342: Establishing a Successor
The weather is still cold, but it does not affect the joyful atmosphere of Huanglongzhai at all, after all, the Spring Festival is coming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoWhen the people of other states and counties in Dahan were still suffering from hunger, cold, and war, the people of Huanglongzhai wore new clothes and hats, had grain in their warehouses, and had surplus money in their pockets......
One day more than 2,000 years BC, Shun was the Son of Heaven, leading his subordinates to worship heaven and earth. Since then, people have regarded this day as the beginning of the year. It is said that this is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later changed to the Spring Festival.
During the Yaoshun period, there was this festival in our country, and in the divination of the oracle bone inscription of Yin Shang, there was also a record of the Spring Festival, and there was a custom of celebrating the Spring Festival of the first Feng, but the calendar at that time relied on the "observation of the time", whether it was accurate or not, it was still difficult to determine.
In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (104 B.C.), astronomers Luo Xiahong and Deng Ping formulated the "Taichu Calendar", which clearly stipulates that the first month of the lunar calendar is the beginning of the year, and since then, the custom of the Lunar New Year has been passed down for more than 2,000 years......

From the twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the small New Year's Festival, every household in Huanglongzhai began to "busy the year": cleaning the house, cleaning all kinds of utensils, dismantling and washing bedding curtains, sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard of Liulu, dusting and dirt cobwebs, dredging nullah culverts, preparing New Year's utensils, etc., all these activities have a common theme, that is, "farewell to the old and welcome the new".
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, dust and sweep the house.
According to the records of "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", China had the custom of sweeping dust during the Spring Festival in the Yaoshun era. According to the folk saying: because of the homonym between "dust" and "Chen", the Spring Festival dust sweep has the meaning of "removing Chen Buxin", and its intention is to sweep all the poor luck and bad luck out of the door.
Worshipping the heavens and praying for the New Year is also one of the main contents of the New Year's customs; Moreover, such as the god of the stove, the god of the door, the god of wealth, the god of joy, the god of wells and other gods, during the Spring Festival, they all enjoy the incense of the world. It is a way to thank the gods for their care in the past and to pray for more blessings in the new year.
Zhang Fan's innovation in gunpowder technology has greatly reduced costs, almost making fireworks a civilian commodity, and in recent days, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers has often been heard in Huanglongzhai.
Hou Sanbao has been helping Zhang Fan prepare for the New Year's goods these days, Zhang Fan, as the big boss, always has to give some year-end bonuses to this group of Wenchen generals during the New Year, after all, loyalty still has to be brushed from time to time!

In the left side of the house, Mo'er is carefully braiding the hair of the step trainer, her head is flying in a fairy bun, and a few fragmentary golden flowers are different from the bun, which highlights her noble temperament.
Mo'er was very satisfied with her results, and said casually:
"Miss, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not-"
The smile of the step trainer rippling on the delicate and flawless face is charming and moving, integrating thousands of styles and one, tempting people's hearts. He glanced at Mo'er strangely and said:
"Aren't you used to being open-mouthed! What's going on today? Say what you want! β
"Miss!" Mo'er's fair skin has two faint flushes, and the baby-like skin is blown and broken, and the brake is cute, and she said strangely:
"How can you say that about me?"
The corner of the foot trainer's eyebrows was full of sweet smiles, and he said unmoved:
"Okay, what the hell are you trying to say?"
Mo'er grimaced at her, and then said:
"Do you remember the first time we met my uncle, you met him for him, and you said that he was Zhongyue, Nanyue or something......"
The foot trainer covered his mouth and chuckled, "What! What I'm talking about is that he has a clear appearance, beautiful bones, moderate and Zhou Cai in the middle of the middle of the middle of the South Mountain, a round and plump North Mountain, a high and bulging middle mountain, wide ears, thick teeth and lips, and eyes like the bright moon in autumn. β
"Yes, yes, that's it...... You also said that even if you can't rule the world, at least you can tear the land and seal the territory and divide one side. Right? β
The step trainer nodded, "yes, what's wrong?" β
Mo'er looked left and right, lowered her voice and said:
"Miss, you said uncle...... Is it possible for him to be the emperor? β
The step trainer's face sank, and he said unhappily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Dare to say this casually, if it spreads, it will be a big trouble, I'm afraid even I can't protect you! β
Mo'er was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue and said curtly:
"I've heard from people! Now that the emperor is gone, the Liu family is about to come to an end. The old saying is not that the emperor takes turns to sit and come to my house this year. Uncle he is a general, and he is in charge of heavy troops, so it is not impossible to go further......"
The foot trainer rarely pulled down his face and said seriously:
"Shut up. That's the end of it. How others chew the root of their tongues, that's their business, you represent the Zhang family, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, some things can be said, and some words must not be said nonsense, understand? β
Moerla shrugged her little head and kept silent.
The step trainer felt that she was still a child after all, and she was talking too much, so her heart softened again, and she softened her tone a little and said:
"Why did you suddenly remember to say this today, inexplicably wonderful-"
Mo'er suddenly regained some vitality, stretched out two fingers, and complained:
"It's not my uncle yet, after I came back this time, I stayed in our courtyard for one night, and the other two ladies stayed for two nights......"
The step trainer stroked some of the green silk hanging down from his neck, and said suspiciously:
"This ...... Is there any connection to your words today? β
Mo'er leaned close to the step trainer's ear and said mysteriously:
"Miss...... You think! If one day my uncle really became the emperor...... Don't get angry just yet, I'm just making an analogy, I mean just in case-"
Mo'er saw the step trainer's face change slightly, and hurriedly explained:
"If there really is that day, then your son, won't he have a chance to be the crown prince? Isn't there hope to be an emperor in the future? Maybe you can also rely on your mother to become the second ......"
The step trainer poked Mo'er's head and said angrily:
"Ouch! Little girl! You still think about the long term, and you think about such a non-musical thing! Have you been too idle lately? β
Mo'er's little face turned red, and she argued:
"Miss! It's never too much to plan ahead! Again...... It's not entirely impossible. If you give birth to your eldest son first, even if you don't inherit the throne in the future, you will have a much better chance of inheriting the family business! β
The foot trainer sighed, "Regardless of the throne or official position, title, property, etc., heirs will be appointed, and the principle to be observed by the appointment of heirs is to "give priority to etiquette" and "establish a successor", only the concubine is eligible to inherit property and hereditary titles, even if the concubine is born earlier than the concubine, there is no right to encroach or snoop. So it has nothing to do with us at all! β
