1008 Chinese New Year
In 1584 AD, the 12th year of Wanli, the year of Jiashen arrived, and the entire land of Shenzhou was immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year.
Liaodong is no exception, and the general military palace in Guangning City is also lively, with all the subordinates going in and out, and Zhang Luo is celebrating the New Year.
Li Rubai, the second master of Li who returned to Guangning for the New Year, didn't care about his eldest son who ran away from home. That is, the by-product of drunkenness, there is no need to take it to heart, just treat it as if there was never such a person, and it is serious to pull a few old friends to drink.
Before worshipping the ancestors, you have to fast and bathe, Lord Commander, Mrs. Li Chengliang had no choice but to move out of Mrs. Ling's room and sleep in the study for a few days, and he had to behave a little in front of his ancestors.
Madame Ling is still very favored. When the maid in the room was adding lamp oil, she knocked over the jar of lamp oil, and before Mrs. Ling could speak, the old lady immediately asked her subordinates to send a few more cans to Mrs. Ling's room. The old lady was going to pull the girl ring out and kill the wolf feeder, but Mrs. Ling had a good heart and pleaded with the old lady, and the old lady let the girl ring go, but she just beat it. Thinking that Mrs. Ling was beaten by that little bastard and took away almost all the gold and silver treasures, the old lady was distressed, and doubled Mrs. Ling's examples, and she was extremely graceful for a while.
Who knew that happiness and sorrow made that night, Mrs. Ling's small building actually went out of the water! The fire started from downstairs, and soon the entire lower floor was on fire. The rough maid downstairs ran out, only to be burned and blackened. Upstairs, Mrs. Ling and the personal maid were not so lucky, the stairs were burning, and there was no way to escape. The old lady was also anxious, and recruited a large team of personal soldiers to fight the fire!
The fire was extinguished, and the entire small building was burned to ruins. People found two charred female corpses in the ruins, which should be Mrs. Ling and the personal maid, and the gold and silver treasures at the scene were not recovered. The old lady was furious, and he was about to torture the surviving rough envoy ring, only to find that there was one missing, and it was the one who overturned the lamp oil jar. The old lady immediately blocked the city gate and sent people to her house to arrest her. It soon paid off: her family had gone out of the city yesterday to visit relatives; An abandoned rope was found in a corner of the city wall, and someone climbed over the wall to get out of the city.
The thing is already very clear: the beaten Yahuan held a grudge, set fire to retaliate, and absconded with it (later it was found that a lot of things were also lost in other rooms, which should have been stolen by that Yahuan.) ); It just so happened that there were a few more cans of lamp oil in Mrs. Ling's building, so the small building was burned down. Poor Mrs. Ling, a fairy-like beauty, died like this.
The old lady was also very sad for a while, but soon fell into a gentle country under the charming attack of other aunts who took advantage of the opportunity. Only occasionally I think of Mrs. Ling and the delicate and charming girl ring, and I can't help but sigh with emotion.
…… I'm the dividing line......
The guards of Fushun Pass and Liaoyang City got a sum of silver a year ago, and they had a good year. The Jurchens were stupid to buy people and stones from them.
Tong Da, who was the right guard of Jianzhou a few years ago, sent people to buy people and stones from them. People want strong men, women and children, 100 wen for a strong man, 50 wen for women, 20 wen for boys, 10 wen for girls, and old guys don't want it. The stone is the stone in the mountain, and it is necessary to Fushun Guan's black stone and Liaoyang's red stone, saying that it is to build a wall and press the root of the wall.
Qiu Ba in the two places came up with a way to arrest the homeless people in his own territory and the small people living in remote areas, and let them dig stones. earned a total of more than 200 taels of silver, and everyone had a fat year.
The civil officials also turned a blind eye to this: the problem of displaced people has been solved, and the Qiu Ba people will not come to make trouble, so why not do it? Even those who have a spiritual point think that if the spring is in spring, if the Jurchens still want people and stones, they should also intervene and share the profits.
The guards of Sanshan Haikou also sold a piece of land by the sea and collected some money.
…… I'm boring dividing line......
The New Year of the old calendar, called "Agnye Nengye" in Manchu, is also a grand festival of Manchu tradition. On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve and the morning of New Year's Day, ancestors and heavens are worshipped. On Chinese New Year's Eve, you should receive the gods, and after receiving the gods, put a horizontal log at the gate to prevent the ghosts from entering.
Before the festival, people buy New Year's goods, clean the courtyard, post couplets, hanging notes (also known as hanging flags, according to the flag genus respectively pasted red, yellow, blue, white), door gods, window flowers and Fu characters (peach wood printing board printed with Fu characters), steamed rice cakes, make Saqima, and brand sticky water spoons. (Before the Manchu Spring Festival, the Manchu traditional pastry Saqima should be made - Saqima is made of fine powder, eggs, sugar, sesame, green and red and melon kernels and other raw materials, its color is beautiful, fragrant, delicious, and it is a festival product with a unique national flavor that people love.) Other legends about the Saqima can be put to rest. )
In the early morning of the first day of the new year, every household set off firecrackers (gunpowder was a strategic material at that time, and it was not allowed to leave the customs, and there were no firecrackers before the full people entered the customs), bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. At the same time, they placed offerings, lit incense and candles under the ancestral board on the west wall of their home, bowed to their ancestors, and prayed to the gods to bless the whole family with peace and good luck in the new year.
At the beginning of the new year, the whole family reunites to eat reunion dumplings, commonly known as "ingots", and a few copper coins are secretly put in the dumplings, and those who eat them are "lucky all year round". When the dumplings were cooked, the family owner shouted: "Is the little day up?" The others replied at the same time: "Get up!" "They liken the dumplings floating from the bottom of the pot to the days when they get up. Then let the child climb on the cabinet and jump three times to show that the new day is "jumping high". On this day, the younger generation should kowtow to the elders to greet the New Year (in the old days, women knelt down and caressed their temples), and the parents should give their children New Year's money. On Chinese New Year's Eve, lantern poles are erected in the courtyard of the house, with high red lights, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the new year, and the night is not extinguished.
Close relatives of the clan also greet each other, and relatives and friends invite each other to feast and talk about the old and the new together. Boys set off fireworks, firecrackers, play with wooden plows, or happily skate; Girls and young women dress up and play galaha (toys made from pig or cow's knee bones).
Li Sicheng has never had experience in running a family, and neither does the bastard in Yunlu, plus Tong Xiaomei was born prematurely and was confined, so I thought that this year would definitely have to be messy. Unexpectedly, Guo'er broke out into the small universe, under the guidance of Tong Xiaomei, the portrait under the command of the 5-year-old Lori was decent and methodical. On the contrary, thirteen-year-old Li Sicheng couldn't intervene at all, so he had to watch from the sidelines.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after worshipping the ancestors in the morning, in the afternoon, Nuer Hachi took his family and the third child, and a group of people drove into Feialashan City. The second child wanted to guard the house, but he didn't come.
The ladies and dependents all went into the back room to see the newborn child. Li Sicheng said that he wanted the child to remember his biological father, the child's full name is still Ganghashan, and the Han name is Li Nianzu (taking the meaning of missing his biological father), in fact, Li Sicheng will not change his Manchu name. Mrs. Ling, who should not have been in the world, was in the ranks, and next to her was a personal maid who should also be out of the world.
The men ate meat and drank wine on the kang in the main house, Tong Da and Tong San drank in a big bowl, and Li Sicheng drank in a small cup. Li Sicheng was not taken seriously at home, so he didn't drink much wine, and after only drinking two small glasses, he was already red in the face and hot in the ears, and he spoke with a big tongue. No, while you're still sober, you have to get things done quickly. "Come ~ people! Hurry up and send the things I prepared~ and show them to the old ~big one~ look! "It's starting to be difficult to speak.
The people below quickly brought in a few bundles of things and threw them on the ground. "Boss, look! Good ~ stuff! When Nuer Hachi saw it, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, immediately got off the kang, picked up the things and looked at them again, and opened his mouth to scold: "Bastard thing!" Such a good thing dares to litter! Xiao Cheng, you too, even if you use stainless steel to make a knife, you even use stainless steel to make a gun head, and the three-foot-two gun head is all made of steel, you guy is too loser! ”
"Hey, hey! Third brother, you ~ also take a look, is it ~ not fine ~ steel?! Tong San Yarhaqi, who had a tendon, also got off the kang, picked up the knife and gun and looked at it, hugged it in his arms, and smirked: "Big brother, Xiaocheng, this belongs to me, okay!" Good! Hehe......"
"Haha...... Big brother, third ~ brother, you are all ~ deceived by me, this is ~ iron, not ~ steel! Only a little worse than steel~! Ha ha...... Bang! Before he finished speaking, he went down under the kang table.
"What?! This is iron?! Xiao Cheng, don't sleep first, wake up, there are still salt and iron pots here, let's talk about what's going on first. "True ~ Iron, Ball ~ Ink ~ Iron, Li ~ Shouhan deceives people, change its name to ~Nine ~ Turn ~ Steel ......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and then the sound of snoring remained.
