In this time of alternation of the old and the new, the main theme of traditional culture is sacrifice.

Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be a sleepless night, because after Chinese New Year's Eve is the New Year, and the first major event of the imperial court in the New Year is, of course, the schedule, that is, the hundred officials to the emperor to pay New Year's greetings, but the emperor also has to hold his own family's private sacrifice before accepting the hundred officials' pilgrimage, that is, to honor the ancestors with family ceremonies.

As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Guangduan, who was wearing a dragon crown in his gown, sat on the throne of the main hall, and his spirit seemed a little sluggish. At this time, the three drums had passed, and the deacon came over and bowed to him five times: "Start your majesty, everything is done, please come to the main hall and be worshiped by hundreds of officials." ”

"Get on the road." Yang Guang nodded and said in a deep voice.

One clock and drums rang in unison, Wang Yi held the jade seal as the emperor's guide, walked to the Great Cause Palace, and then the bright fan opened, the bead curtain rolled up, Yang Guanglong sat on the dragon chair in the Great Cause Palace, at this time the music stopped, and the four whippers in the hall shouted with whips: "Arrange shifts." ”

Su You hurriedly lined up with the officials in high spirits, listened to the command of the salute official and bowed to the emperor four times along with Yale, and after the music stopped, he prostrate to listen to the New Year's declaration made by the salute official on behalf of the emperor; At the end of the announcement, the ministers inside and outside the hall collectively bowed down, and the mountain shouted long live.

After the "declaration", it was the official representative who addressed Yang Guang. The internal history ordered Yang Yue to step forward to Dan Majesty without letting him go to the ground, and after kneeling, he said loudly: "Minister, Yang Yue, I meet Zhengdan, Sanyang Kaitai, all things are salty and new." Gong Wei Majesty xià, Ying Qiannahu, Fengtian Yongchang. At this time, the band of the Jiaofang Division played the music again, and the hundred officials bowed to the emperor four times.

Then the music stopped, and the emperor issued a decree: "The celebration of the end of the performance is the same as the Qing." ”

The ministers shouted again long live.

The cumbersome etiquette lasted for nearly two hours, not only the ministers kneeling in the main hall were shaky, even Yang Guang who was sitting on the dragon chair was overwhelmed, after all, everyone in this hall started with a sacrifice today, except for a few lonely graves and wild ghosts such as Su You, the vast majority of people have been sleepless all night.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." When everyone in the hall thought that the ceremony was about to end and that they would be able to go back to make up for the cage jue, Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, stood up for the class.

"Qi Zhanggong is coming."

"The Khan of Qimin saw that the cultural relics of my dynasty were prosperous, and his heart longed for them, please take the crown belt." Niu Hong spoke, handing over the music.

"Today's clothes are well-dressed, and they are only in the process of discernment, and they are also the work of the king. However, it was the strategy of the first emperor to control razing with razing, and I still have to think about it in the long run. Yang Guang is also happy for this performance, in fact, when the Qimin Khan entered the court some time ago, he had tactfully asked to change to Hanfu, but Yang Guang had his own considerations, and he has not given a clear answer.

"Wechen is here." Yang Xuangan was also tired all night, and when he was thinking nonsense, he didn't expect Yang Guang to call his name.

"The Sifang Pavilion must be stepped up and must be perfect." After Yang Guang said this, he almost yawned again, "What else do you have to play?" If you have nothing to do, just disperse. ”

After hearing this, everyone was obviously relieved, until they heard the sound of the "scattered court" of the eunuchs, as if hearing the sound of heaven, which was incomparable to the few great joys just now.

When the hundred officials rushed home to rest, Su You was a little bored, he slept very well last night, but he felt that the two days were a night banquet and a shift was meaningless, thinking that he hadn't seen Laiyanbei for a long time, and the idea of going to Laifu to see her became strong for a while, but after walking a few steps, he felt that he was really rude with empty hands, so he had to sit in the carriage sullenly and instructed the driver Lao Wang to go home.

Originally, the market in the capital during the Spring Festival in previous years was to be closed for seven days, but because the World Expo at the end of last year attracted envoys from the 23rd countries and many foreign businessmen, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty issued an order not to close the market, and because of the large display of cultural relics around the New Year's Festival, there were hundreds of operas on the street to set up a stage performance, and the street was crowded again.

The carriage went up Dingding Street, and Su You finally encountered a traffic jam after coming to this world.

"Sir, why don't we take a detour?" Lao Wang wasn't sure if Su You would have anything to do after he went back, and it was estimated that he would take an extra step or two to inject incense when he took a detour, but it was obviously more unreliable to line up here.

"It's okay, I want to walk around alone, you can drive back first." Su You thought that it would be boring to go back at this time, and it would be even more boring to stay in the car, so it was better to feel some of the Spring Festival in the capital, and after speaking, he ignored the dissuasion of the coachman Lao Wang, took off his court clothes and got out of the carriage by himself.

Su You walked forward, stopped and stopped, looked at the circus on the street from time to time, and bought a string of rock sugar gourds from time to time, in a trance he seemed to have returned to his former youth, so he remembered the poor days when he wanted to buy books but hesitated again and again, and it happened that a new bookstore had opened across the street, and he was called by Yang Er to run errands as soon as he entered the door last time, and he might be able to go in and hang out today.

"Get out of the way!" Su You had only walked a few steps before he heard a loud shout.

It turned out that Su You was full of worries, but he didn't pay attention to the vehicles coming and going, and besides, galloping horses in the capital were not allowed by law, and there were many people on and off the New Year's Day, and the cars and horses basically walked slower than people, so Su You naturally ignored the safety of crossing the road.

"Nima, this is speeding." Su You followed the sound after hearing the heavy drinking, but found that a carriage pulled by two horses rushed in front of him in an instant. At the last moment, Su You no longer prayed that the coachman could pull the horse, and immediately decided to roll in front of a lazy donkey.

When Su You was out of danger, he found that the horse first stood up, and then stopped in place, which can also guess the extraordinary skill of the coachman; However, what makes Su You most depressed now is the mud and snow on his clothes.

"If I could collapse in front of Mount Tai and not change my color, maybe I wouldn't be so wolfy." Su You always finds the reason from himself first, however, there is no traffic light at this intersection, although he crossed the road just now, although he can't say whether it is right or wrong, but the other party must be wrong to run a horse in the capital, but he does not wear the official mansion now, and it seems that there is no need to blame others, and it may be a good choice to calm down people.

"San Lang, the little lady is bleeding from her forehead, let's go home quickly." A somewhat anxious female voice came from the carriage, obviously because someone in the carriage was injured, of course Su You would not think that someone had deliberately touched the porcelain, but he still arched his hand and prepared to leave the place quickly.

"Wu Na man, do you want to leave here? Do you dare to leave your name? Su You was about to leave, but when he heard a shout, he rode to it again, but he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man in Chinese costumes, but he was also born with clear eyebrows; Su You does not belong to the appearance association, so he will not pretend because of his image, and when he first saw him, the first thing he thought of was Li Tianyi.

Su You quickly thought of Mrs. Xu in Nanjing, as well as the road killer Yao Jiaxin, at this time, as long as you have a little brain, you know that it is the best policy to slip away, let alone Su You, who is a person in two lives?

"Farewell." Su You didn't care about his rudeness at all, and left without looking back after saying these two words.

"Old boy, it's too much of a deception!" That childish nature is also very big, and the horsewhip has already been swung out, straight to Su You's chest.

But I heard a coquettish shout in the car: "San Lang, stop!" ”

That Saburo heard the shouts of the woman in the car, and found that Su You ignored his horsewhip and did not move, and only when the horsewhip in his hand was about to touch his chest did he suddenly withdraw his strength, retracting this warning blow, showing his subordinates to show mercy.

Su You didn't expect him to sneak attack without saying a word, and before he even had time to react, the horsewhip had already reached his chest, fortunately the woman in the car stopped him, but thinking that he had become meat on the chopping board in these few breaths, the feeling of being slaughtered made Su You bored for a while.

"Thank you, Miss!" Su You bowed his hand to the woman in the car, but continued to ignore the young man who almost hurt him, and after saying these four words, he walked away.

One is still and one moves, one walks and one stays. The young man's heart also became a little uncomfortable, as if the loser of the two was not him but himself.

Su You walked quite chicly, but there were a lot of palpitations in his heart, and the truth of "crossing the street and looking left and right" seemed to have to be kept in mind and put into action.
