Chapter 227: Folklore Tales

"Who says they don't have men?"

Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Huixuan and Zhu Zhanji, and continued to flicker:

"You see, at that time, the Yellow Emperor, the co-leader of our ancient human race in China, announced an order to the entire human race after learning about the difficulties of these two great gods. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When he said this, Zhu Song looked at the pattern on the peach charm and said:

"This order is that on the eve of the Spring Festival, every household should carve statues of gods and yulei with peach stems, and hang them in front of the door on Chinese New Year's Eve. At the same time, a reed rope should be hung at the upper end of the gate, and a tiger should be painted on the second gate to avoid the invasion of evil spirits. It is precisely for this reason that peach wood is also called 'dragon descending wood' and 'ghost horror wood'! ”

?“ Oh, no wonder! Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized: "When I was in Beiping Mansion, my grandson saw many official eunuchs, and they would draw black tigers or roosters on the doors, and some people's hanging peach charms were also directly carved with gods and gloom!" ”

"No, why do I think that in our Yingtianfu, there seem to be many people with portraits on their doors!" Zhu Huixuan was opposed.

"You two, you're right, you're not right!" Zhu Song said: "Our Ming Dynasty is rich in land and resources, and all parts of the country naturally have local customs and habits......

When he said this, Zhu Song patted his head and said, "Let's not talk about the differences between various places, let's talk about the differences between our nobles and eunuchs' homes and ordinary people's homes." ”

Seeing that the attention of the two little ones was attracted to him, Zhu Song continued:

"We rich families naturally want to hang what we want, after all, we lack everything, and we really don't lack silver. But compared to ordinary people's homes, where do they have the spare money to ask craftsmen to carve gods and statues! ”

"And what are they hanging in the house?" Zhu Huixuan asked shamelessly.

Zhu Song said with a smile: "The people don't have so much silver, so they simply draw two statues of gods on peach wood, or directly inscribe the names of gods and gods on them, and hang them on both sides of the door on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve to suppress evil spirits, which is their peach charm." ”

"That's like Uncle Fang Cai said, what's the matter with what kind of portrait?" Zhu Zhanji still didn't understand.

"That's my generals in the Huaxia Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong!"

Zhu Song smiled and said: "Legend has it that Tang Taizong had a nightmare for a period of time, and there were evil ghosts asking him for his life in the dream. So, Emperor Taizong appointed the tiger generals Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Gong, and Wei Chi Jingde to guard the gate for him......"

"And after that?" Zhu Huixuan and Zhu Zhanji were both attentive and couldn't help asking.

Thinking about it, it was the first time for the two children to hear this legend, and they naturally had a sudden feeling.

"After that, of course, everything is calm! Since Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde personally guarded the gate for Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong never had nightmares again. ”

Zhu Song looked down at the two little guys and said: "After the people heard about this, they replaced the gods and Yu Lei on the original peach wood talisman with Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde. ”

Just when the two little guys still wanted to pester Zhu Song to listen to the two funny stories again, the two peach talismans that had been originally covered with red dye were almost dry, and the two subordinates cautiously said that these two peach talismans were placed in front of Zhu Song.

"Okay, you go to the study and take out the four treasures of the king's study, and the rest will be talked about when you have time." Zhu Song beckoned the two little ones to pick up something, and stopped his interest in telling the story.

"Uncle, the four treasures of the study have been taken, do you want to write?" Zhu Zhanji held the pen and ink inkstone in his hand, and asked with a puzzled and hesitant expression.

"Uh......"

Zhu Song finally remembered at this time, his simplified characters were barely good, but in traditional characters, Zhu Song knew them, but they didn't know Zhu Song.

Damn, it's embarrassing this time.

"Uncle Song, did my nephew win this bet?" Zhu Huixuan saw that the expression on Zhu Song's face was slightly embarrassed, and immediately laughed.

This bear child is usually very lacking in heart, how can he sometimes be smarter than a fox?

Zhu Song rolled his eyes, and just as he lowered his head and thought about it, the savior came.

"Wang ......" Liu Changsheng hurriedly ran into Zhu Song's courtyard, and just wanted to report something to him, but when he saw the mess all over the ground, he was stunned, "Lord Wang, who are you?" ”

"Hey, it's okay!" Zhu Song hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord Liu, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness King Zhou and the fourth prince have come to the palace, do you see if it's ......?"

"Ah, Brother Qiao and Youjiao are here, let's go, go and invite them in!" Zhu Song straightened up, raised his feet and walked out of the courtyard.

"Hey, Uncle Songhuang, you can't play tricks?" Zhu Huixuan suddenly became anxious.

"Hahaha, my brother's family, why do you still need to be groomed, if you go through these two procedures, won't it become a raw point?"

Before Zhu Song walked to the gate of the courtyard, a bold voice came.

Zhu Song stopped when he raised his feet, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Brother Hu, you came in so fast!" ”

"Uncle Songhuang, where do you want to go?" Zhu Huixuan also caught up at this time, and hugged Zhu Song's thigh.

"Hey, I said you kid should let go!" Zhu Song shook his thighs, pointed at Zhu Hu and said, "Didn't you see your Fifth Emperor Uncle and Fourth Emperor Brother?" Hurry up and see the ceremony! ”

Where is Zhu Huixuan willing to let go, he is still holding Zhu Song's thighs, turning his head to look at Zhu Hu and Zhu Youxuan, and grinning: "My nephew has seen the Fifth Emperor Uncle and the Fourth Brother." ”

Zhu Hu smiled and said, "Hahaha, Xiao Huihui, your father hasn't taken you back yet?" Want to spend the New Year at your Uncle Song's place? ”

Zhu Huixuan shook his head and nodded, "Aren't I waiting for my father to take my nephew back?" Father, the king, he said that if he did not come to pick up his nephew, he would not let him go back by himself. ”

"Hmph, Brother Jiu will be a shopkeeper!" Zhu Hu snorted and said, "By the way, Brother Song, this little guy is Zhong'er, do you remember?" You hugged him back then! ”

While saying this, Zhu Hu let go of his body, and there was an eight or nine-year-old boy behind him.

Although the little boy is not particularly delicate, he is very cute and cute.

The little boy hid behind Zhu Hu, poked out a small head, looked at Zhu Song curiously, and said timidly: "Nephew Xie Quanzhong, I have seen Uncle Song!" (To be continued.) )
