Chapter 43 Princess Danyang is finished

Time gradually came to the last day of the fourth year of the Great Cause, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Every household began to get busy early in the morning, ready to meet the arrival of tomorrow's first day, Luoyang City, each family has set up a long bamboo pole in the courtyard, hung a flag on the pole, praying for a long life, the housewives prepare Tusu wine, put on the taro Langjun, chicken shredded wax, swallow powder lychee, and frozen poplar porridge, this is the food that must be eaten on the first day, every household must prepare.

The men put on the ancestral spiritual seat, presented tributes, and prepared for the Yuan Day sacrifice, Yang Yuanqing's house was no exception, this year was the first time he spent the New Year with his family, so he also attached great importance to it, and politely refused the request of the Pei family and Princess Leping, and spent the New Year in his own home wholeheartedly.

In a small courtyard in the back garden, Yang Yuanqing and several iron guards cleaned up the house and placed the spiritual seat of his grandfather Yang Su, this small courtyard with only four rooms will officially become Yang Yuanqing's small family temple, in addition to his grandfather's spiritual seat, he also placed his mother Li's spiritual seat here.

According to the customs of the Sui Dynasty, the general wealthy will support the temple, the Tzu Chi Nunnery is supported by Minqiu's grandmother, Mrs. Cui, Minqiu and Chuchen discussed it, they also decided to support Tzu Chi Nunnery, and like the Pei family, they gave Tzu Chi Nunnery 5,000 hanging sesame oil money and 300 stone rice every year, and invited three nuns to live in the house for a long time, chanting Buddha and chanting sutras in the family temple, praying for the spirit.

Yang Wulang stared at the bald heads of several young nuns in the courtyard, winked at Yang Balang beside him, and asked with a low smile: "Why did you say that Gongzi invited a few little nuns?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, his head was hit hard by Yang Sanlang from behind, "You stupid, this is an inner house, don't invite nuns, do you invite monks?" ”

Yang Wulang covered his head and said, "Of course I know that I can't invite monks, I'm worried about the safety of a few little nuns." ”

"Shhhh Childe is here. ”

I saw Yang Yuanqing walk into the courtyard, beckoned to a few of them and smiled: "You guys come to help!" ”

Several people hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, only to see a white jade Guanyin Bodhisattva transported outside the courtyard gate, one zhang high, carved with a whole piece of jade, the treasure is solemn, and the carving is exquisite.

Yang Wulang hurriedly asked Yang Balang, "How much is this Jade Bodhisattva worth?" ”

Yang Balang shook his head, "I can't figure it out, at least a hundred thousand hanging money." ”

Yang Wulang couldn't help but be speechless, and exclaimed: "Childe, isn't this also a gift from Princess Leping?" ”

"What are you doing with all this nonsense, move in!"

Yang Yuanqing gave an order, and several iron guards hurriedly stepped forward to help, and slowly moved the jade bodhisattva weighing nearly 1,000 catties into the courtyard.

This jade bodhisattva is indeed sent by Princess Leping, but also the original Northern Zhou Palace, Yang Lihua personally sent the jade Bodhisattva, this year his daughter and son-in-law in Chang'an's house for the New Year, only Yang Lihua is alone, she simply came to Yang Yuanqing's house, and they celebrate the New Year together.

There was constant laughter in the main hall of the inner house, Pei Minqiu and Chuchen were talking with Yang Lihua, but their eyes were looking at the courtyard, there were two children in the courtyard, one was naturally Yang Yuanqing's one-year-old daughter Bing'er, and the other was also a little girl, about four or five years old, holding a small shovel, busy building snowmen in the yard, and there were two palace maids and Bing'er's nurse next to them, looking at the two children with fear.

The little girl is picturesque, delicate and abnormal, she is brought by Yang Lihua, named Yang Fangxin, nicknamed Aman, is the youngest daughter of Emperor Yang Guang, born in the fourth year of Renshou, this year is five years old, and was named Princess Danyang.

Princess Aman of Danyang is also Yang Guang's baby daughter, rarely goes out of the palace, and was only taken to the house by Yang Lihua by chance to play, she was originally going back to the palace to pass by Yang Yuanqing's mansion, but when she saw Bing'er, she insisted on playing with her little sister for a while.

Ah Man had already built a little snowman, Bing'er was very smart, she found three small pebbles and handed them to Ah Man, "Here you go!" ”

Ah Man pursed his lips and smiled, took the stone, and the stone became his eyes and nose.

Yang Lihua couldn't help laughing: "Bing'er is very smart! I was just over a year old and knew how to build a snowman with my little aunt. ”

Min Qiu smiled: "This little guy is naughty, I buried an old shoe in the yard yesterday, isn't it just burying the old shoes, out of the meaning of the ribbon?" She secretly saw it, and as a result, she also buried one of her shoes in the soil. ”

Yang Lihua laughed when she heard it, and Chuchen also smiled: "Speaking of shoes, there is another interesting thing, when she turned one year old, the child wanted to catch Zhou, but she grabbed a small jade shoe given by the old grandmother, only the size of a thumb, she told the old grandmother that the shoes were too small, she couldn't wear them, and asked the old grandmother to change one for her." ”

Everyone laughed, at this time, Yang Yuanqing walked in, holding two small red bags in his hands, Bing'er saw her father come in, so she reached out to hug her, Yang Yuanqing hugged her, and saw that the little snowman was piled up decently, so he asked the little princess with a smile: "What do you think the snowman is missing?" ”

Ah Man tilted his head and thought about it, then looked at Yang Yuanqing again, and suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "I know, there is still one less hat." ”

She begged Yang Yuanqing: "Big brother, please give me the hat!" ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that she didn't have the arrogance of a princess, innocent and cute, and couldn't help but like her very much, so he smiled slightly, took off the hat on his head and handed it to her.

Ah Man clapped his hands happily, Bing'er followed and jumped around, giggling, at this time, Bing'er suddenly saw her father holding two small red bags in his hands, and was immediately attracted and reached out to grab it.

Aman's curiosity also shifted to Yang Yuanqing's hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Yang Yuanqing was robbed by his daughter and had no choice but to give each of them a small red bag, Bing'er shook the red bag and shook out dozens of sesame seeds, but Aman's bag was a small bean, she was careful and counted, a total of twenty-seven grains.

"Big brother, why are there sesame seeds and beans?"

"This is the custom, during the Chinese New Year, you have to throw sesame seeds and beans into the well, sesame seeds represent the high season, and beans represent the abundant harvest."

"Then why are there twenty-seven grains, and if it's a bumper harvest, why are there only beans?"

Ah Man stopped Yang Yuanqing, and he didn't know why? I had to smile bitterly: "Big brother doesn't know why? You can ask the gentleman in the palace and tell me when you do. ”

"Okay!" Aman nodded heavily.

Yang Yuanqing stood up, held his daughter in one hand and the little princess in the other, and walked into the inner hall.

Everyone sat down in front of the brazier, Yang Lihua hugged A Man in her arms and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, I came today, and I have an important thing to tell you, the Holy Lord has decided to reappoint you as the governor of Fengzhou, the Taishou of Wuyuan County and the envoy of Hetao, it is estimated that the time for you to take up your post is coming." ”

Yang Yuanqing was ecstatic, he thought that he was going to participate in the battle against Tuyuhun, but he didn't expect that at his most casual moment, the goddess of fate favored him again.

"Auntie, when are you going to work?" He asked anxiously.

"Set off on the twentieth day of the first month, this is also the time for the saint to set off to the west to patrol the river, and the hundred officials in the capital will accompany him, including me, I will also accompany him, but you can't accompany it, it's really a pity."

Yang Lihua felt a little sad in her heart, she felt that she was getting old day by day, and her life was beginning to decline, and she didn't know that she hadn't had a chance to reunite with him again.

She glanced at Pei Minqiu and Zhang Chuchen, and said with a forced smile: "I'll do my best again!" Although the imperial court regulations stipulate that you will hold your wife hostage in Beijing, but you don't have a son yet, maybe you can be accommodating, I will try my best to persuade the saint to allow you to take your wife with you, Yuanqing, this is also the last time I will help you, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future. ”

Yang Yuanqing listened to Yang Lihua's tone with a hint of sadness, and he also had an ominous premonition in his heart.

．．．．．．．

Before dinner, Yang Yuanqing began his first Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice, in the middle of the room was the spiritual seat of his grandfather Yang Su, the offering table was filled with various tributes, and on the side was the spiritual seat of his mother Li Clan, which was also filled with incense and candle offerings, and the three nuns sat on the other side, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting in a low voice.

Yang Yuanqing was dressed in a black robe, standing at the front, with a solemn expression, and his two wives were standing behind him, also wearing black robes, slightly different was that Min Qiu's robe was embroidered with gold edges underneath, while the dusty robes were silver-edged, this was the difference in their status.

Yang Lihua served as the temporary priest, and she shouted: "The auspicious time is here, salute!" ”

Yang Yuanqing first kowtowed to his mother's spiritual position, bowed and saluted with three incense sticks, inserted the incense in the incense burner, and slowly knelt down, kowtowed three heads, and then turned around to take three incense sticks, knelt down in front of his grandfather's spirit, and he also prayed silently in his heart: "Grandfather, grandson Yuanqing knows that the world is about to be in chaos, Yuanqing will support the people of the world as his own responsibility, plan to move, wait for the opportunity, chase the Central Plains, win the Ninety-Five, although the heroes of the world are many, Yuanqing will be proud of the heroes, and hope that his grandfather will protect his grandson in the spirit of heaven." ”

．．．．．．．

Just when Yang Yuanqing was worshipping in the small family temple, the ancestral hall of the Yang Mansion was also carrying out the Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice, which was the last sacrifice of the fifth year of the great cause, nearly a hundred children of the Yang family gathered in front of the ancestral hall, the sacrifice of the Yang family was far larger than Yang Yuanqing's sacrifice, and the sacrifices were more abundant, priests, deacons, bell bearers, lamp bearers, all kinds of sacrifice personnel were fully equipped, the rules were stricter, only men, not a woman.

Hundreds of children of the Yang family were dressed in black sacrificial robes, and in the crisp bell of the sacrifice bell and the high-pitched shouts of the priests, the children of the Yang family bowed down with the patriarch Yang Xuangan.

"Raise incense, bow, bow again, salute!"

"After the ceremony, bow down!"

Yang Xuangan knelt down in front of the spirits of his ancestors and father, but prayed silently in his heart: "My father is above, and the child Xuangan swears here, but whenever the world is in turmoil, my son will uphold his father's will, raise troops in the Central Plains, Guan Long Yang will be destroyed, Hongnong Yang Xing, and the world will belong to my Yang family!" ”

．．．．．．．

On the twentieth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangqin led an army of 500,000, as well as thousands of civil and military officials and royal relatives in the capital, and marched westward, opening the prelude to the battle of the Great Sui Dynasty to conquer Tuyuhun, but Yang Guang did not let Yang Yuanqing follow, the capital was empty, and the north needed heavy ministers to guard, he reappointed Yang Yuanqing as the governor of Fengzhou, the Taishou of Wuyuan County and the envoy of the Hetao Economic Strategy, and went to the Hetao to defend the border.

Also on the same day, Yang Yuanqing took his wife and daughter to bid farewell to the capital, and once again went to the Hetao that he dreamed of.

．．．．．．．．

At this point, the first part of "The Heroes of the World" is officially over, and the middle part is kicking off.
