Chapter 158: Chickens Fly and Eggs Fight?
"Xiangcheng, she's still young, let the emperor take care of her first," Wu Yuanqing said with a deep groan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiangcheng is thirteen years old, after the age of fourteen, this is still a virtual age, in this era it is normal to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen, and there are not a few children, in history, Princess Qinghe, who is only four years old now, married Cheng Chumo's younger brother Cheng Chuliang when she was ten years old.
But for Wu Yuanqing, who travels through the country, thirteen or fourteen years old is still too young, and he really can't do it, otherwise he will be too beastly.
Although Wu Yuanqing was thirteen or fourteen years old, he pulled the little girl at the same table to kiss and hug and touch, but at that time, everyone was still young, and at the age of ignorance, no one could say who was a beast or not.
Therefore, Wu Yuanqing felt that it was better not to worry, Xiangcheng, a fresh little girl in the cardamom years, should be cultivated first, and it would not be too late to start when she was older.
"But, Sister Xiangcheng is not young" Even the four-year-old little Lori, who was poisoned by feudal society, felt that Xiangcheng was old enough to get married.
"Go and go, the little girl knows a lot, the eldest brother said that small is small, not small and small, do you know?" Wu Yuanqing angrily knocked on the door of Erya's small brain.
"Oh" Erya grinned and shrunk her neck, in response.
..........
Wu Yuanqing led his younger brothers and sisters to stay in Wugong County for more than ten days, and in these ten days, Wu Yuanqing only occasionally went to the greenhouse to see the seedlings of the vegetables planted, at most he pulled two freshly sprouted grasses.
Most of the rest of the time is crazy running up and down the river, anyway, in addition to the dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, there are more than a dozen guards, don't worry about safety.
Far away have run to the Qinling Mountains to fight wild boars and rabbits to scare monkeys, close to row Wu Yuanqing's self-made ice car on the creek to skate, Er Ya is young, one person can't slide, Wu Yuanqing let Er Ya sit on his crossed legs with the little girl to slide, tired of rowing, find a place with a thin ice layer to make a hole and then throw a special small power bomb to fry the fish, and then live on the ice to grill the fish to eat.
It wasn't until the New Year was approaching that Wu Yuanqing returned to Chang'an with his younger brothers and sisters.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, everyone generally called the Spring Festival, that is, the New Year's Day, "New Year's Day", although it is also a very important festival but not the most important, the most important festival at this time is the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.
However, although it is not the most important, the atmosphere of the festival is still very strong, and when the twenty-third festival stove prince, everyone also eats sugar melon, and sugar melon is naturally caramel sugar.
After the sacrifice to the king of the stove, he began to sweep the dust, and there were more and more people who purchased New Year's goods, and the East Market next to the martial arts family could not be seen, at most, there were more young ladies and wives buying jewelry and clothes, which made the martial family's ready-to-wear store make a lot of money.
The most prosperous West Market, on weekdays, is full of people coming and going, the past two days there were more people, directly doubled several times, dense, shoulder to shoulder are all purchasing New Year's goods, the vendors shouted loudly, greeting.
Wu Yuanqing led his younger siblings to visit the West Market once, and he was almost suffocated to death, everyone was crowded, and the two were almost scattered and lost, so frightened that Wu Yuanqing took his younger siblings and hurriedly left the West Market.
Wu Yuanqing is no longer doing it to buy New Year's goods, but he is not worried about finding something to do.
Chinese New Year, at this time and the future generations are not much different, buy New Year's goods, change new clothes, paste Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, of course, and later generations of fireworks and firecrackers are different.
Fireworks can't be done, firecrackers Wu Yuanqing has made a lot of two kicks, and there are smaller firecrackers.
Although the formula of gunpowder was given to the emperor, and the emperor also ordered that it should not be passed on, it could not stop Wu Yuanqing from playing by himself.
Anyway, Wu Yuanqing would rather die than listen to the crackling sound of the bamboo pole thrown into the fire.
got some firecrackers, and the only thing left for Wu Yuanqing to shoot was the Spring Festival couplets.
However, there were no Spring Festival couplets in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and people called peach charms at this time, which were peach boards hanging on both sides of the gate.
According to the Book of Etiquette of the Later Han Dynasty, the peach talisman is six inches long and three inches wide, and the names of the ghosts and gods "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" are written on the peach board. "On the first day of the first lunar month, the peach charm is made to the household, the name is immortal wood, and the ghosts are feared."
That is to say, at the beginning, the peach charm was written with the name of the god of subjugation, just like the portrait of the god in later generations, but one is the name and the other is the portrait, which plays the same role.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the peach charm was still in this form, and the couplet was written on the peach symbol, which was in the Five Dynasties period after the end of the Tang Dynasty.
"History of the Song Dynasty and Shu Family" said: Meng Chang, the lord of Later Shu, ordered the scholar Xin Yinxun to inscribe the peach wood board, "with its non-work, self-proclaimed pen inscription: 'New Year's Yuqing, Jiajie Changchun', this is China's first Spring Festival couplet."
As a traverser, there are no Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the New Year's door, how can this be tolerated.
Only the peach charm hung on the gate, this atmosphere is completely wrong.
Wu Yuanqing asked people to get red paper, cut it according to the size of each door, and set up a pen and ink inkstone on the table in the hall.
Then Wu Yuanqing came to Yang's house.
"Writing Spring Festival couplets?" Yang asked curiously.
"Yes, mother, the Spring Festival couplets are similar to the peach charms, but one is hung and the other is pasted on both sides of the door, and it must be pasted on both sides of each door" Wu Yuanqing explained to Yang what the Spring Festival couplets are all about and what kind of form they are.
"Stickers on every door? There's no need for this, right" Yang thought about it, and as soon as he entered the courtyard in this mansion, there were countless doors in countless rooms, and he was a little dizzy.
"Yes, yes, there must be this necessary, hehe, the red Spring Festival couplets are written with blessings, it looks so lively and festive" Wu Yuanqing wrote his own hand so bad that he couldn't add to the brush words, he was really embarrassed to be embarrassed, and he could only agitate to pry Yang's.
"You, you, you, will get some new tricks and new gadgets" Yang had no choice but to take this stepson, so he had to respond.
"Koi flies and pays for ambition; Xiang Yang kneeling milk feeling kindness"
"A harmonious family, a happy family, four seasons of peace and four seasons of spring"
Wu Yuanqing thought, Yang picked up the pen and wrote, nodded while writing and said: "The implication is good, this Spring Festival couplet is quite interesting."
"That's, don't look at who came up with it" Wu Yuanqing was embarrassed.
"These two are on the door of you and Yuan Shuang," Yang said with a smile.
"Haole" Wu Yuanqing nodded and said, "The country is prosperous, the family is prosperous, the country is prosperous, the old and the young are safe, the old and the young are safe." Spring is full of beauty, the mountains and rivers of the motherland are beautiful for thousands of years, and the east wind is mighty, and the land of China is new for thousands of years. I think these two are a good fit on the gate."
Yang nodded approvingly.
"Business is prosperous all over the world, and the wealth is rich in three rivers. This pair is very good to put in the shop," Wu Yuanqing said as he read another couplet.
"Well, this is a bit too straightforward," Yang hesitated.
"It's good to be direct, take a good sign," Wu Yuanqing said with a grin.
"Well, whatever you want"
.........
Write down the Spring Festival couplets one by one, and in the end, Wu Yuanqing thought that there was a small chicken coop in the kitchen, and he had to write a horizontal batch on it, so he read a horizontal batch.
"Chickens fly eggs? Both ends are empty. This implication is not very good" Yang's hand stiffened, and he looked at Wu Yuanqing speechlessly.
"It's not chickens flying eggs, it's chickens that are fat and eggs are big, fat and fat, and the size is big" (to be continued.) )
