The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year!

Feng Xiaobao watched with interest as the firecrackers burst in front of him, which were bamboo tubes and bamboo poles, thrown into the fire, and then made a crackling sound!

This is the firecrackers of the Tang Dynasty!

The real meaning of gunpowder firecrackers is after the Song Dynasty, and now, there are only this kind of cottage firecrackers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems that the powder gun has a long way to go!

Spring goes to winter, time flies, and it is another year to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, Feng Xiaobao happily celebrates the Spring Festival with his friends.

Oh, there was no gunpowder and firecrackers during the Spring Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no New Year's money!

But it's very, very lively, full of New Year's flavor.

The Spring Festival culture of the Tang Dynasty people is very rich, there are firecrackers, worship ancestors, sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, suspend the market and close business, paste and change peach charms, put up lanterns, eat Chinese New Year's Eve on Chinese New Year's Eve and wait for the dawn, etc., when it comes to the New Year, the street crowd is scarce, even the most prosperous southern and northern cities can point out the number of people with their fingers, everyone rushes to their homes, in order to reunite with relatives, less lingering on the streets, the Chinese nation has been celebrating the Spring Festival for thousands of years since ancient times!

Feng Xiaobao arrived in the Tang Dynasty and spent the Spring Festival with him cheaply, and it was still very festive when he had a family, and in Luoyang, counting, Princess Qianjin was his "relative", but she was first of all the princess of the Tang Dynasty and a royal family, so her Spring Festival could not be spent with Feng Xiaobao, she and other princes and grandchildren, imperial relatives and civil and military officials all spent the Spring Festival in the palace.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Taichang Xingqing, an official in charge of sacrifices and ceremonies, would lead his officials and thousands of male and female members of the Royal Song and Dance Orchestra to perform the Nu dance in front of the main hall, similar to a superstitious activity to drive away evil demons and plagues or an ancient custom.

This is a grand ceremony, members of the royal family and civil and military officials have participated, the princess is not only a royal family, but also a good relationship with the lord of the harem, such an important season is indispensable, so Feng Xiaobao had to spend the festival by himself.

But he is not lonely, because he volunteers in the Laojunguan, presided over by Xuanqing, the rich people of the Xiushan Fang donated money, Feng Xiaobao also donated ten guan money, invited people to make a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and invited the lonely and widowed old people who came to the Xiushan Fang to celebrate the festival together.

And some good believers in the Xiushan Fang also brought their families to the old Junguan to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and everyone was happy!

Lao Junguan cleaned the room, laid out the banquet, and set up the chairs.

Each table has a variety of delicious vegetarian feasts, large stacks of high cakes, as well as dried fruits, peanuts and melon seeds and other snacks, which are full.

Feng Xiaobao personally greeted the people who arrived one after another at the gate, he greeted them warmly, helped the old and the young, and led them to the table.

Then pour them tea and water, peel peanuts and melon seeds, and serve them thoughtfully.

When it was time to open the banquet, he was even more busy with the old people's dishes.

And he never looked impatient with the old people, and he also talked to the old people about all kinds of things he had seen and heard, and the old people heard loudly to them behind their ears.

He has a small asset, and his back is against a big tree, but he is humble and helpful, and he did what he could after adding incense money to Lao Junguan, donating money and things to the Xiushan Workshop, and participating in good deeds and never falling behind.

He has a kind heart!

People's reputation is very important, Feng Xiaobao pays great attention to his words and deeds, and strives to create a good reputation, so sunny, happy, positive, kind and other positive labels are all pasted on his head.

"Hope you're consistent!" Daoist Xuanqing observed him and thought silently.

"No matter how bad a person who likes to do good deeds is, he can't be any worse, who does such a person support if he doesn't support him!" Xuan Qing thought in his heart.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Xiaobao saw Xuanqing eating Hu Cake, and then, he smiled kindly and nodded to him.

The two nodded to each other, and everything was silent.

……

It was night, it was snowing heavily in Luoyang, and Feng Xiaobao was in the princess's mansion to keep the New Year with the princess.

They talked softly, and the princess talked about the grand dance in the palace: "The emperor and queen are here, the emperor's relatives and hundreds of officials are here, the banquet is held, the ministers sing poems in accordance with the occasion, the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, and I show the abundance of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

The cold wind was howling outside, and the two of them whispered around the stove, and the firelight reflected the princess's delicate and radiant face, which made Feng Xiaobao invincible!

"Look at it!" The princess said shyly.

"Look at how beautiful you are!" Indeed, she is well-maintained and in a happy mood, and it is difficult to think about whether she is beautiful or not.

"You're good too!" Feng Xiaobao has been developing, his height is 1.86 meters, he is constantly exercising and fully nourished, coupled with an orderly life (sleeping on time, not singing at night), so that his upper body muscles are inverted triangles, and the Qianzi meat makes the princess feel overjoyed, and can't help but reach out and touch the strong body.

She pulled lightly, and Feng Xiaobao rolled into her couch.

……

After a long night, Feng Xiaobao saw that Princess Qianjin was a little bored, and proposed: "Let's play Go!" ”

"No!"

"Why?"

"You stinky chess basket, it's boring!"

Princess Qianjin is a master of playing Go, she often plays it when she has time and leisure, and Feng Xiaobao has no time, she can play Go but her level is not high, what's the fun if she doesn't kill an evenly matched person, Princess Qianjin doesn't want to bully him.

"That..." Feng Xiaobao blinked his eyes and said, "Let's play backgammon!" ”

"What is backgammon?"

The so-called backgammon means that on the Go board, whichever side connects the five pieces first into a line is the winner.

The rules are simple, and the princess is interested in fighting him!

While playing chess, Feng Xiaobao was also distracted and instructed the maid to use cardboard to make AKQ12345678910 four kinds of fancy and big ghosts.

That's right, Feng Xiaobao is making poker!

Wouldn't it be stupid if you don't play poker that everyone on earth will do in the future!

When he got tired of playing backgammon and the poker was ready, Feng Xiaobao told Princess Qianjin: "This is called a thousand gold medals, and it is a gift I give you, I hope you like it!" ”

"What you saw when you walked the rivers and lakes again?" Princess Qianjin's words were not mockery, but when Feng Xiaobao came out with something strange, she always made such an excuse, which made people speechless.

"No, no, no! I came up with it myself, and I give it to you! Hope you're happy! Feng Xiaobao is greedy for heaven and has turned "poker" into "thousands of gold medals".

"Come on!"

"It's a deck of cards, we can call it a card." Feng Xiaobao put this simple set of paper playing cards on the table and gently wiped it, and presented the front of a whole deck of cards in front of the princess and the two young and beautiful maids called: "This deck of playing cards represents the rules and order, from A to ten, from J to K, plus the big and small ghosts, this is all about the main and second decks, the rules are simple and clear." But there are many ways to play. ”

"Grab points!"

"Except for the big d!"

So Feng Xiaobao explained in detail several basic ways to play poker, first of all, the "point grabbing" between the two people - everyone played five cards against each other, and then the interesting "fighting landlord". The princess was amazed by the simple and fun card games, and she and her maids immediately fell in love with the game.

After everyone played a few games, Feng Xiaobao proposed: "It's not interesting to play like this, it's not good to gamble * money, it's against the river crab, it's better ... ”

"How?" Princess Qianjin asked.

"Play a game that everyone has without hurting each other's interests." Feng Xiaobao said with bad intentions.

"Yes, yes!"

……

An hour later, the princess and the maids trembled, covering their left and right sides in embarrassment, and the spring light was fully vented, while Feng Xiaobao laughed.

They lost all their clothes when they played cards!

Feng Xiaobao didn't move his hands and feet, but looking at their appearance, the thief couldn't stop laughing, which made the princess hate it so much!

……

Fighting one-on-one but Feng Xiaobao, when they exchanged glances and wanted to cooperate to deal with this unscrupulous element, Feng Xiaobao transferred the method in a timely manner and launched two decks of cards, everyone came to play "tractor" (upgrade)!

Feng Xiaobao explained the rules and taught them how to play.

Hearing him say so interesting, Princess Qianjin's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to try her skills.

"Why are two pairs called tractors, three pairs called trains, and four pairs called ships? What are tractors, trains, and spaceships? Princess Qianjin asked curiously.

"That's me ......," Feng Xiaobao lied, and said without drafting.

"That's what you saw in the countryside!" Princess Qianjin had already heard it very familiarly, and she recited it: "You see so many things in the countryside!" She scoffed.

And Feng Xiaobao blushed and said, "Of course!" ”

"The countryside is full of wonders!" Princess Qianjin commented.

"Flutter!" Hearing this, a maid couldn't help but laugh out loud, she was from the countryside, how could there be soap, biogas and tractors, firepower and spaceships in the countryside that Feng Xiaobao talked about!

Fortunately, the princess was preconceived by him, otherwise he would be tortured like a guinea pig, and Xiaobao would be in danger!

They played non-stop until dawn, and Princess Qianjin said with emotion: "This Chinese New Year's Eve is the most lively Chinese New Year's Eve I have ever had!" ”

As soon as the words come true, next year's Chinese New Year's Eve, it will not be her spending it with him!

……

As the day dawned, the snow stopped, and all parts of Luoyang City were busy, the servants of the mansions were diligently sweeping the snow at the door, and the manpower organized by the government was also clearing the snow on the main street.

The height of the princess's mansion can be seen clusters of lanterns lighting up the darkness before dawn, Feng Xiaobao watched quietly in front of the window, and the princess walked up to him.

"Don't sleep a little longer!" Princess Qianjin asked.

"Enough, I'm in good spirits!" Feng Xiaobao replied, pointing out his finger and saying, "Do you need to work so hard?" ”

"Of course, because the civil and military officials want to go to the court to celebrate a happy holiday for the emperor!"

The golden princess pointed in the direction of the imperial city, where the light lit up the night sky!

"A colorful glow welcomes the dawn, and ten thousand red candles move spring!" At dawn, the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials plus the "hundred barbarians" and "all countries" of the coming dynasty gathered in the Qianyuan Hall in Luoyang to celebrate the Spring Festival to the emperor and queen.

The shouting of "Long live" spread throughout the vast territory of the Great Dynasty, the emperor raised his hand, and the people bowed their heads!

Princess Qianjin told about the majesty of the dynasty, and Feng Xiaobao was leisurely yearning, and her thoughts were like a tide, and in the end, there was only one thought in her mind: "I want to be the emperor!" ”

"There was once an opportunity to rebel in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this. If Heaven could give me a chance to do it all over again, I would say to God, 'I will say four words: I will rebel!' If I had to add a deadline, I would like it to be 'do it right the first time'! ”

……

If Princess Qianjin knew that he had such an idea in his head, she was afraid that she would divide his five horses into corpses with the warriors of the princess's mansion, unless he succeeded in rebelling and named her queen!
