Chapter 59, Wang Lang and Spring Festival couplets
Wang Lang came out of his small courtyard, which was refreshed and full of spring breeze. Although they didn't eat Fluttershy's little lori, the relationship between the two of them has at least taken a step forward, which is a good thing. As soon as Wang Lang stepped out of his small courtyard, he saw Uncle Fu commanding the family and the maid busy. Wang Lang hurriedly grabbed Uncle Fu and said
"Uncle Fu, is there anything I can do?"
Uncle Fu said with a smile
"Oh, my second young master, come in quickly, we will be here."
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Don't, look, my dad has spoken, let me help you. Do you see what I can do not? ”
Uncle Fu frowned and thought about it and said
"Then let's do it, Second Young Master, you go and replace the two peach talismans on the gate."
Where is Wang Langmeng, because our Wang Ershao doesn't know what a peach talisman is, and he still wonders in his heart at this time.
"On the gate? Something? What is a peach charm? ”
Wang Lang just wanted to ask Uncle Fu what the peach charm was, but Uncle Fu didn't give Wang Lang any face, and Uncle Fu was directing the family members to carry things at this time. In desperation, Wang Lang asks for help from Fluttershy.
Fluttershy was sitting in the room smirking at this time, but when she saw Wang Lang hurrying back again, she couldn't help but ask curiously
"Young Master, aren't you going to help Fu Bo? How did you come back again? ”
Wang Lang said depressedly
"Uncle Fu asked me to change the peach talisman, by the way, Fluttershy, what is the peach talisman?"
Fluttershy looks at Wang Lang with wide eyes, looking incredulous. Wang Lang also felt very embarrassed, but Wang Lang found a reason for himself
"Brother, I'm a good young man in the twenty-first century, don't care about these details anymore."
So Wang Ershao became bold again. Said
"Fluttershy, you know, young master, I'm amnesia."
Fluttershy nodded, indicating that she understood, but looked at Wang Lang with suspicion before speaking
On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the images of the two gods of "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" are painted on the peach wood board, and they are hung at the head of the door, with the intention of praying for blessings and eliminating disasters. In the end, in order to save trouble, people directly wrote the names of the two gods "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" on the peach board. ”
As soon as Fluttershy said this, Wang Lang completely understood, it turned out to be the door god. At this time, Wang Lang also remembered a poem by Wang Anshi, so he hurriedly ran to the table and picked up the pen to write, but he put it down in embarrassment and said to Fluttershy
"Come on, Fluttershy, I say, you write."
Fluttershy walks over obediently, and Wang Lang takes two steps in a pretentious manner, coughing and speaking slowly
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warm people to Tu Su; Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. Good poetry, good poetry. ”
Fluttershy's adoring eyes make him fall in love with her. Wang Lang calmed down his smug mood and said
"Fluttershy, put this away and send it to my dad and them tomorrow."
At this time, Wang Gui's voice came
"Don't wait for tomorrow, I've heard you. Well done. I didn't expect my son's literary talent to grow a little. ”
Wang Lang hurriedly laughed
"That's right, that's not what my dad taught. Otherwise, where would the child have made such a good poem? ”
Wang Gui is still very useful to Wang Lang's sycophants, squinting his eyes and hands behind his back, nodding slightly, looking complacent. Wang Lang continued
"That, Dad, I'm going to help replace the peach talisman."
Wang Gui nodded and said with a smile
"Go, go, go."
Wang Lang hurriedly fled from the old man's hatred. took the peach talisman and replaced the old talisman on the gate. Looking at the empty gate, it felt like something was missing from the gate. But I couldn't think of it for a while. The scenes of the New Year in the later generations were lived in Wang Lang's mind one by one.
"Hang red lanterns, buy New Year's goods, clean up, post blessing characters, paste Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, eat dumplings, and watch the Spring Festival Gala. Damn, Spring Festival couplets. ”
So he hurriedly ran to the house and found Wang Gui in the study, Wang Lang was sitting in the study reading at this time, and saw Wang Lang panting and running in and frowning and said
"How old are you, why are you still so reckless. Can't stabilize the focus? ”
Wang Lang scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile
"Dad, aren't I in a hurry? Do we have any red paper? ”
Wang Gui asked with a frown
"What do you want red paper for?"
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Write Spring Festival couplets and write blessing words."
Wang Gui asked suspiciously
"What are Spring Festival couplets?"
Wang Lang said in his heart
"Damn, won't you, there are no Spring Festival couplets at this time? What rhythm? ”
Wang Lang said patiently
"It is to write the auspicious words of the New Year in beautiful calligraphy on paper, usually pasted on the door, to increase the festive atmosphere of the festival."
Wang Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was because of Wang Lang's novel words or because Wang Lang said beautiful words. So he called Wang Fu and said
"Wang Fu, go find me some red paper."
Wang Fu was just about to leave, but Wang Lang came to live and Wang Fu said
"Uncle Fu, after finding the red paper, cut it into one foot wide and four feet long, and it will take three pairs. Two feet long, one foot wide should be three. Two squares of red paper with a length and width of one foot. ”
Not to mention that Wang Fu's efficiency is still quite high, just a cup of tea, Wang Fu prepared things. Wang Lang looked at the four-foot long paper that was obviously spliced together, and Wang Lang said in his heart
"Let's make do with it."
Wang Gui asked, looking at the paper he brought
"Fang'er, what should I do next?"
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Dad, there are a few pairs of Spring Festival couplets for you to listen to, the upper couplet is always in spring all year round, and the lower couplet is always blooming with thousands of purples and thousands of reds, horizontal criticism: welcome the New Year"
Wang Gui immediately high-fived and said
"Okay, that's it, brush a few strokes, and the thick and powerful font jumps on the paper. Even Wang Lang, a novice who knows nothing about calligraphy, can see that it is good. ”
Wang Gui didn't seem to have written about it, so he continued
"What else?"
Wang Lang continued to say two, Wang Lang looked at his old man as if he was not happy at all, and picked up the square red paper and asked
"What does this do?"
Wang Lang said
"This one has to be written as a blessing."
So Wang Gui didn't say a word, and with a big stroke of the pen, it was completed. Wang Lang said with a smile
"Uncle Fu, ask someone to paste these three on the gate and in front of the two small courtyards, and these two Fu characters are pasted on the gate, remember to paste them upside down."
Wang Fu nodded yes, but why did this Fu word be pasted upside down Wang Fu was very curious, so he asked
"Second Young Master, why do you have to post this upside down."
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Blessing (arrival) indicates that blessing has arrived in our home."
Wang Gui and Wang Fu suddenly said. In fact, Wang Lang was also secretly refreshed in his heart.
"I can finally educate the old man. It's cool. ”
Looking at the couplets and blessing words pasted on the door, Wang Lang nodded with satisfaction
"Oh, that's the New Year."
When Wang Lang and the others entered the mansion, some curious people looked at the couplet posted on the door of the palace, and felt that it was good at first glance, so they went home and pasted the couplet, and in this way, the couplet was marked with the mark of the palace.
