Chapter 281 New Year's Benefits
The ritual of sacrificing to the sky was sacrificed on the day of the winter solstice, and during the New Year, other gods were sacrificed-
"Zuo Chuan" cloud, the major event of the country, is in Rong and worship. Before the Han Dynasty, there were no strict standards for what gods should be sacrificed to whom. Except for heaven and earth, where only the emperor can be sacrificed, the other gods are not too strict.
After the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the regulations on sacrifices became more and more strict, and there were many gods that only the royal family could sacrifice. At most, when it is time to sacrifice, drag the civil and military officials to a collective sacrifice together.
After participating in the group activities, the benefits issued by the imperial court came down! From firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to all kinds of meat, they are actually distributed.
Just brought home the benefits of the imperial court, Princess Pingyang's Mansion also sent Xue Lang as a consultant welfare-
Clothes, shoes, socks and festival expenses! Then there was a fat pig, a sheep, and a basket of fish and shrimp.
In this way, you only need to bring some fresh vegetables from the hot spring mountain resort, and you don't have to buy anything else.
Su Han looked at the fat pig and the sheep with shiny eyes, rubbed his palms and asked, "Youyang, how to cook?" Tell me what you command, just leave it to me." ”
Xue Lang was also not polite, and pointed out to Su Han a few male servants as assistants, slaughtering pigs and sheep first, and slaughtering chickens, ducks and fish. Burn the stove and set up the pot, put the roast goose, roast duck, and barbecued pork into the stove, wash and scrape the pig's head, and start to make lo-mei.
When Xue Lang got out of the sacrifice, the meat was ready. Put it in the food box while it is hot, and make people ride horses to send it to the princess's mansion, Ma Sanbao's family, and the Su family, and the rest of the people ...... I don't feel like I have a friendship of sending food to each other during the Spring Festival.
The rest of the dishes, the portions are not much. There are only four people in the mansion who can be regarded as the master class, and if they do too much, even if there are two big stomach kings, Jiang Lin and Su Han, they will basically not be able to eat. In order to make more patterns, Xue Lang deliberately explained that the amount could be less, but the variety should be more.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the four of them gathered around a table to eat, and the big table was full of more than twenty dishes. The wine was scalded, the men all drank white wine, and the only lady, Su Siniang, drank the fruit wine brewed by Xue Lang.
Xue Lang raised his glass and said sincerely: "Today's festival is over, and tomorrow is the new year." To tell you the truth, I haven't been a big fan of festivals in recent years, but this year, I'm in the mood for festivals again. Thank you Ah Lin, thank you Hengyu, thank you brother and sister, I will do it first for respect! ”
Jiang Lin's eyes turned red directly, and he said, "Big brother, you should be happy for the holidays, why do you say such sad words!" ”
Su Han also said: "Ah Lin is right, Youyang said the wrong thing, you should punish yourself with three cups!" ”
Xue Lang saw that everyone was a little sad, and said with a smile: "Okay, I said the wrong thing, everything is in plain sight, three cups are three cups!" Drink! ”
"Big brother, I'll accompany you!"
Jiang Lin is sincere. Su Han said helplessly: "Ah Lin, the amount of alcohol in Youyang is well known, you can drink it now, what will happen after that?" Do you want to let Youyang drink the two of us? ”
Jiang Lin was speechless, neither did he drink, nor did he drink it.
Xue Lang smiled heartily: "Happy today, everyone can drink casually." There are only four of us this year, and I hope that in the coming year, there will be more people to celebrate the festival together, especially if there is a child to celebrate the New Year together, it will be even more lively! ”
Everyone present knew what Xue Lang meant, Jiang Lin smirked, and Su Siniang blushed, and directly covered her face with her sleeves, embarrassed.
While eating and chatting, I listened to Jiang Lin tell how he used to celebrate the New Year, and Su Han said that he celebrated the New Year with his master on the mountain, and all he ate was game that he had hunted.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, of course, there is no Spring Festival party to watch. Xue Lang took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago and began to distribute New Year's money-
Give Jiang Lin and his family first: "Take it, this is the New Year's money given by my brother!" ”
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother, the younger brother has become an adult and has become a parent, so he shouldn't receive New Year's money anymore!" ”
Xue Lang said: "This year is the first time we celebrate the New Year together, and the New Year's money is of great significance, and it must be collected!" Hengyu also has it, and he will send it to Ah Lin and his younger siblings first. Work hard to add me a nephew next year! ”
When Jiang Lin heard this, he took the red envelope happily, took it and nodded with a smile: "I must work hard!" ”
"Oh, you're really ......!"
Before she finished speaking, Su Siniang ran away directly with a blush on her face. Xue Lang laughed, Jiang Lin smiled and touched his head, these two are really.
After sending Jiang Lin's two words, Xue Lang took out another one and handed it to Su Han: "This is Hengyu's!" ”
Su Han's eyes flickered, and although his face was paralyzed, he could also see that he was uncomfortable: "I'm an adult, and I shouldn't get it anymore." ”
Xue Lang smiled and nodded: "I'm the elder, you are young, and you are unmarried, so naturally you have to give a red envelope." I hope that in the new year, you can get rid of the identity of a single. ”
Su Han couldn't help but touch his head, but he still took it, and said seriously and sincerely: "Cheng Youyang's auspicious words, I should encourage Youyang!" ”
it! It hurts so much in my knees!
Xue Lang glanced at him helplessly, but he laughed at Jiang Lin on the side.
The three of them talked and laughed until the time of the child-
Xue Lang rubbed his eyes and said, "The New Year is here, Ah Lin, Hengyu, Happy New Year!" ”
"Happy New Year, Big Brother (Youyang)!"
Then, the three of them, who couldn't stand it, went back to their rooms to sleep. Xue Lang slept until the third pole of the sun before getting up, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace will hold a banquet, a big banquet for the ministers, Xue Lang will participate.
After getting up and washing, I casually padd a bowl of millet porridge, and with the joint efforts of Hexiang and Lamei, I changed into a dress with long robes and large sleeves, put on the crown of Jinxian, and entered the palace to participate in the New Year banquet held by the sage.
"Da Lang, I've arrived at the Xia Ma Bridge, please get off the bus."
Changjian reminded respectfully outside. Xue Lang jumped out of the carriage and asked the two to wait, and he walked into the palace by himself-
Wait a minute! Why are these officials attending the banquet all bringing their female dependents?!
Xue Lang had a bad premonition in his heart! Is it too late to go back now?
"Youyang!"
The sudden greeting stopped Xue Lang's impulse to run away in time, and turned around to salute: "I've seen Li Gong!" ”
It was Li Gang who called out to stop Xue Lang. Xue Lang remembered that Li Gang's old wife had passed away, and he thought that there should be no female relatives to accompany him, so he turned around with joy on his face, and was about to speak-
"Happy New Year Xue Aweng!"
Cute and crunchy Lori sound. Xue Lang lowered his head, and sure enough, Li Gang was holding a little Loli in his hand, which was his little great-granddaughter he had seen when he was in Chongyang.
Although she is small, she is also a girl, and she is also Li Gang's daughter. Do you want to go back to the swollen anymore?
Xue Lang had already begun to draw circles in his heart, and he had to greet Xiao Lori with a smile on his face: "Happy New Year, Bao!" ”
After asking Xiao Lori, Xue Lang asked Li Gang in a low voice: "Dare to ask Li Gong, do you want to bring your female dependents to the New Year banquet?" ”
Li Gang said with a smile: "The New Year banquet is for the saint to have fun with the ministers, and the concubines and concubines in the palace will also participate, and the ministers can bring their daughters." ”
It's over! Bad foreboding-
Li Gang, who lost his wife, came with his little great-granddaughter, and among a group of officials with his daughters, Xue Lang, who was young and strong and still alone at the banquet, was as conspicuous as the morning morning star!
Again, is it too late to go back?
