Chapter 181 Welcome
December 22 of the first year of Zhenguan, the winter festival, also known as the sub-year, of course, we are most familiar with the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year, but for the people of Chang'an, this day is indeed the best day of the year!
Niu Dabao, a short-haired Taoist priest who has been in Datang for more than a year, is now a national teacher, and is finally getting married, and marrying the newly crowned Princess Anping, although Princess Anping is just a righteous sister, but now she enjoys the treatment of the eldest princess of Datang, and she is a hot character!
Of course, these are neither suitable for ordinary people to eat nor drink, there are no special circumstances so that everyone does not pay attention to the private affairs of the emperor's children, the reason why everyone cares about the marriage ceremony of the national teacher today, more importantly, the national teacher has sent something again.
In an alley in Chang'an, a rough man wearing a thick jacket with shrunken hands greeted a thin "Hey, monkey, I'm not afraid of freezing to death when I get up so early."
The thin man spat on the ground, "Bah, I won't die if you die, but if you die, you can leave with peace of mind, sister-in-law, I will take care of it"
The fat man heard the thin man say this, and immediately pulled out the hand shrunk in the sleeve to pinch the thin man, and the other party who pinched it called out "Fat brother, spare your life, spare your life, don't make trouble, hurry up, it's too late, I'm afraid the gifts of the national teacher will be snatched up"
The fat man pushed the thin man to the ground, "Hmph, spare your life first, hurry up, I don't know if the Taoist temple has opened"
The thin man patted the soil on his buttocks, "Whatever, if you don't go early, you can line up to the front, right, fat brother, do you know what the national teacher sent this time?" ”
The fat man walked quickly, looked ahead, and nodded when he heard the thin man's question, "The father-in-law of the niece and daughter-in-law of my seventh uncle's family is a Taoist priest, and I received the news ten days ago, saying that the national teacher is married time, and he wants to have fun and share the joy with the people of Chang'an, so today's words I heard that one person gave a pound of refined salt and some candy or something."
The thin man wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, "It's still the national teacher's power, last year, the national teacher just came to the time to hold the Tianzhen Festival, I missed it, and then I regretted it, don't say it, it's here"
The thin man and the fat man walked to the door of a Taoist temple, oh, good guys, it can be said that there are a sea of people, all of them are dragging their families to bring incense.
The Taoist temple has not yet opened, but through the courtyard wall, you can see that there are already lights inside, and it is estimated that the Taoist priests have already gotten up and are preparing for the distribution of gifts.
There were two old men who couldn't sleep at the door of the Taoist temple, who seemed to recognize the words, and looked at a red paper posted at the door of the Taoist temple with his goatee, "Contemptible Niu Dabao, Xi is the Tang Dynasty National Teacher, thank you for your love, on this good day, and the people of Chang'an are happy, but whoever comes to my Taoist Dharma Hall in winter to incense, you can receive a pound of refined salt, two pieces of candy, a bag of rice vinegar, a bag of soy sauce, people are doing it, the sky is watching, please do not repeat it"
The old man read the notice on the red paper to the people in line word by word, and now everyone clearly knew what the national teacher was giving everyone.
"The national teacher should also be careful, everyone is an honest person, who will repeat it"
"You don't know this, can you guarantee that there is not a single greedy and cheap one these years? The national teacher said, people are doing it, the sky is watching, it is estimated that if someone repeats it, he will only have to go out at noon in the future."
The auditors nodded one after another, "But why can you only go out at noon?" ”
The person who spoke spread his hands and said, "Sooner or later, something will happen"
Hahaha, everyone was amused by the humor of this goods, just when everyone burst into laughter, the door of the Taoist temple was opened, and two Taoist priests wearing gray cloth and straight Taoist robes stood at the door, "The mountain gate is open, the layman enters, please line up for incense"
Then the crowd immediately came down solemnly, according to their own morning and evening in order to line up to go in the incense, after the end of the gift, the Taoist priest put the gift in a red plastic bag and handed it to the pilgrim "just a small gift, not a respect"
"The Taoist is polite, I wish the national teacher a good marriage, an early birth of a noble son, and a good marriage for a hundred years..."
Chang'an's various Taoist temples with a little façade are carrying out this activity, but the Taurus Palace is deserted, at the beginning there were people queuing at the entrance of the Taurus Palace, but other places began to send things, there was no movement here, and suddenly there was a man in the crowd who patted his head and said, ", stupid. Compare, it is estimated that the Taoist chief here has helped the national teacher to welcome his relatives."
After the crowd was stunned for a while, they laughed at themselves, that is, they forgot about it, the people who lived in the Taurus Palace were all cronies of the national teacher, and there was no reason not to help at this point, so the people at the gate of the Taurus Palace immediately scattered.
As they guessed, Lao Yuan and the others were really all in the hawker's cow mansion, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Mei Changsu, Cao Yuchen, etc., except for Wang and Liang, who were making holes in the field, the hawkers were all alive.
Standing in front of the mirror, the vendor is complaining, "This dress is so hard to wear."
Lao Yuan stood behind him and pressed his knees against the hawker's waist, and pulled the belt around his waist with both hands, "Uncle Shi, don't move, it's fine, hey, hey"
The binding force of the strap almost strangled the hawker's waist "Tap, tap, break the waist"
Seeing the hawker struggling, Li Chunfeng also came over to help hold the hawker down, Yuan Tiangang took advantage of the situation to tie the belt behind the hawker's back, and then took a long breath of relief and wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, "Finally put on the clothes, let's try the hat again under the uncle"
Without waiting for the hawker to object, he took a hat with a big peony and buttoned it on the hawker's head, do you think this is the end of it?
It's early, and I don't know where Lao Yuan found a few old mothers, so they pressed the hawker to the chair, took out a box of rouge gouache and wiped it on his face, it was useless to object, and it was not likely that the hawker's entire face would be wiped without seeing his true colors.
Looking at the people in the mirror, the peddler really couldn't believe that it was him, and Zhu Bajie, who was going to marry, looked at Lao Yuan with a sad face, "This is what you call the groom's outfit?" ”
Lao Yuan and Mei Changsu nodded vigorously, "Uncle Shi, come and laugh, how can you cry and lose your face when you get married, if Uncle Shi sees your vice-respect, you should be angry and beat people."
The corners of the hawker's mouth curled, and he squeezed out a smile like looking for a young lady to meet a girlfriend, what the hell is this, I blame myself for being cheap and saying that I want to feel the style of Datang, now it's okay, it's here, look at the time, it's too late to make up the makeup from the new one, so I can only make do with it.
I don't know what Li Yue'er is going to do, so she picked up the walkie-talkie in front of her to communicate, "Hey, Yue'er, are you up?" Hear please answer, OVER"
After waiting for a while, Li Yue'er didn't answer, but waited for the eldest grandson's voice, "Yo, Dabao, I can't wait, I can't wait, we have to wait, we're helping Yue'er put on makeup" The eldest grandson also heard Li Yue'er's objection while speaking, "Don't, don't shave your eyebrows, Dabao doesn't like it"
Good guy, the peddler just remembered that Li Er had been on the throne for a long time, and Sun seemed to have shaved off his eyebrows in costume, and drew two pieces of melon seeds with an eyebrow pencil, hey, that ugly!
After the eldest grandson replied, there was no movement, and after waiting for a while, Lao Yuan looked at the sky, "Uncle Shi, it's almost over, let's go"
"Okay, let's go down to the hot car"
Outside the Niufu Gate, in addition to the hawker's bread, a Haval plus a four-wheeled motorcycle was parked, the Haval is brand new, this is the car that the dignitaries gave the deposit before, the hawker took advantage of the marriage today to use a handful, and then hand over the car.
Now the car is on fire, afraid that it will be difficult to start after a while in the cold, and when I see the hawker coming out, the driver stands on the side of the door in a regular manner, and honks the horn in unison.
The hawker nodded with satisfaction, although the car is not good, but what my brother wants is this momentum, boarding Li Yueer's Z4, this is today's float, and the front of the car is also dressed up with flowers.
The vendor sat in the driver's seat, honked his horn, and reached forward with a wave of "go" (to be continued). )
