Chapter 638: What Does Grass Mean?
At the beginning of February, the second dragon raised its head, and in later generations there was a meaning of the dragon raising its head, but there was no such thing at this time in the Tang Dynasty.
But the second day of the second month of February is also a very important festival, it is said that it originated from the Fuxi era, Fuxi "heavy agriculture mulberry, ploughing the field", so on the second day of the second month of February, many places have begun to be busy with farming, and began to plow the fields and loosen the fields.
Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, next to the Qinling Mountains, the climate here is very warm early, the second day of February is already suitable for the cultivation of many crops.
At this time of the year, the two emperors and queens of the Tang Dynasty have to pull the Manchu Dynasty to put on a show." The queen's eldest grandson is very stylish with a flower cloth turban wrapped on his head, and then carries a bamboo basket, which contains the royal chef's carefully prepared not extravagant but delicate and delicious pastries, water and wine.
In the Imperial Garden, there is a small field dedicated to the Emperor and Empress every year. The prince pulls the rope, which is tied to the nose ring, which is worn over the nose of the cow. The ox was hung with ropes, and the ropes were connected to the zigzag plow, and the one who held the plough was the emperor.
Then several concubines Yingying Yanyan were dressed like the queen, and they were also carrying baskets, which contained seeds in the baskets, and followed the emperor's ass to order seeds.
The fart is a big piece of land, and it will come to the end in three or two steps, so the concubines are also very tired and tired, and they are pretending to wipe the sweat with their sleeves, but in fact, the face is not dry and damp at all.
Not only the emperor, empress, and concubines have to work in the fields, but also civil and military officials. The emperor took his wife to set an example for the ministers, which was intended to tell the ministers that when they saw that Lao Tzu had taken his wives to the land to farm, Lao Tzu had set an example, should you also learn more from Lao Tzu.
On the second day of the second month of February, the emperor and queen finished their show, and the civil and military officials would each be allocated a piece of land in the field of Sinong Temple. If according to the ancestral system, the emperor and empress should cultivate one acre and three points of land, and the civil and military officials should also cultivate one acre and three points of land each.
But let the emperor and queen cultivate one acre and three points of land must not exhaust them to death, and the civil and military officials each cultivate one acre and three points of land, and the fields of Sinong Temple in the imperial city are not so much.
So this can't be more serious, the land planted by the emperor and queen is actually only one and three points, but it is called one acre and three points of land.
The same is true for the land of civil and military officials, but they naturally can't be treated the same as the emperor and empress, although they only cultivate one or three points in the imperial city, but the time is to make up for it.
Then on the third day of the second month, you can see, in the morning, the courtiers simply went to the morning court, and then they all rushed to the manor outside Chang'an and began to farm.
The emperor, empress, and concubines put on a show, and the ministers also put on a show, went to the manor outside the city to hang out for a long time, and then when it was almost dark, they returned to Chang'an one or two unkempt and muddy.
On weekdays, they are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their personal demeanor is very idea, but on this day, these people are afraid that others will not know that they are going to farm, and they will swagger through the market.
Far away, this is something that will happen tomorrow, on the second day of the second month of February, the emperor, queen, concubines and the prince put on a show as usual, and then when the ministers finished the show, they invited the courtiers back to the hall to eat some snacks.
This dim sum is called Fugui fruit, because people at this time not only think that the second day of February is the beginning of spring ploughing, but also think that this day is the day to welcome wealth.
Needless to say, the royal officials and scholars, take the common people as an example, the day of farming is the day when the year begins to have hope, this day is to welcome wealth, but also means that there can be a good harvest in a year, and you can have a good year.
Wu Yuanqing also entered the palace this day, although he was removed from his official position and did not need to farm, but his father Wu Shiyan wanted to plant.
If you are so old, you must not be able to plant, so Wu Yuanqing can only follow to help, and other families are also juniors to help.
But, there is nothing to do with Wu Yuanqing when you eat Fuguiguo dim sum later. After ploughing the land, Wu Yuanqing followed the ministers to the direction of the main hall, but he did not go to the main hall, but to the prince's east palace further east.
As a result, Wu Yuanqing staggered and walked, and he felt a sound of wind behind him, so that his back shoulder was hit hard and he almost climbed down, and then the man hit Wu Yuanqing and overtook him, not only did he not apologize, but he also twisted his face and snorted coldly, and then walked away proudly.
", why don't you come back and see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you." Wu Yuanqing jumped to his feet and scolded, the man paused, and then walked forward and didn't care about Wu Yuanqing anymore.
"Damn, I'm not done with this grandson." Wu Yuanqing was still scolding when he entered the East Palace.
"What do you mean, uncle?" A little guy rushed to Wu Yuanqing with a jump, and hugged Wu Yuanqing's legs with both hands, almost tripping Wu Yuanqing.
"Slow down, slow down, your dad is going to talk about me again." Wu Yuanqing hurriedly stabilized his body and hugged the little guy: "Ji'er, where is your father, hurry up and ask him to prepare some rich fruits for Mr. to fill his stomach."
"I'm following behind your ass, where do you say I'm gone." Li Chengqian's angry voice came from behind him, and then a pair of arms stretched out from the side: "Come down, don't follow your uncle in the future, be careful that he teaches you badly."
"Father, what do you mean?" Although Li Chengqian's sister-in-law, Li Ju, reached out and was carried away by his father from his uncle Wu Yuanqing's side, he still wanted to know the meaning of the.
"It doesn't mean anything, you can't follow your uncle and talk nonsense, be careful that your mother beats you." Li Chengqian wanted to explain, but his son's big eyes were full of curiosity, so he could only change his preaching to scare.
"Oh." As soon as he heard that his mother could fight, Li Ju immediately lowered his little head like an eggplant.
While speaking, the crown princess Su also came over, greeted Wu Yuanqing and left with the little guy Li Ju, and could vaguely hear the voice of reprimanding Li Ju in a low voice.
"Who are you scolding, I've been listening to you scolding all the way after you." Li Chengqian asked curiously as he walked to the palace first.
"Haven't you been following behind, don't you know who I'm scolding?" Wu Yuanqing cut and said with disdain.
"How do I know who you're scolding, you're just special, bastard, scolding, and you didn't name who it was." Li Chengqian said speechlessly.
"Where did you start with me?" Wu Yuanqing squinted and asked.
"Outside the Taiji Palace, I followed my father to the Taiji Hall first, and then my father and Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, my uncle said that it was not a big deal, I didn't want to hear it, so I wanted to go back to the East Palace, and when I got out of the Taiji Palace, I saw you scolding and walking this way, so I followed you." Li Chengqian explained with a smile.
"Rub."
