Chinese New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, and it has always been the most traditional Chinese festival, when Zhao Ta got up, the snow in the yard had been cleaned by the small yellow door that got up early, and he still came to the martial arts arena in the backyard as before, after moving his body, he punched twice, picked up the small stone lock and raised it dozens of times, and his body was already sweating. Zhao Ta looked at the three-bucket bow placed on the weapon rack, thinking that he had lost an adult on it two months ago, seeing that there was no one left and right, he stretched out his hand to copy the bow in his hand, squatted and lunged, the two arms competed, the bow creaked and squeaked for a while, and slowly changed from a half moon to a full moon, and he actually pulled the bow away!

"Damn, Lao Tzu finally pulled out this broken bow!" Zhao Ta threw the bow on the shelf and said to himself excitedly with tears in his eyes, no matter how tired he was and how cold the weather was, he insisted on squatting and lifting stone locks every morning, and worked extra night shifts for himself at night, push-ups, sit-ups, and squatting against the wall, how could he not make him happy, which marked that he completely got rid of the entanglement of impermanence and got rid of the hat of early death!

Zhao Ta was happy, and after going back, he ate two more eggs and meat buns for breakfast, and then joined a group of small servants who went to the front yard to inspect the work with their calves. On the road, the snow on the lanterns has been cleared, and the handymen are still busy transporting the snow out of the road, it seems that this snow has added a lot of trouble to them, Zhao Ta asked them for their hard work, and then went straight to the kitchen.

"Second master is good!" Seeing Zhao Tan coming in, the chefs hurriedly said hello.

"It's the New Year, you have worked the hardest in the house these days, not only to prepare the meals of the whole house, but also to eat this meal, but also to think about the next meal, worrying and laborious!" Zhao Ta said and waved his hand.

"Steward Hou, you give everyone a share, this is the second master's reward for everyone!" Zhao Ren, who was behind him, immediately handed over two silver ingots with ten taels and said.

"Second master, these things are our duty, don't worry!" Steward Hou took the ingots and said respectfully.

"Hehe, there is a spare effort in other parts of the house, only you are busy until the first day of the year, the more you are busy during the holidays, the busier you are, this bit of silver is a sign of my apology!" Zhao Ta said to everyone.

Zhao Ta in his previous life also served as a leader for a few years, and he had to 'go down to the grassroots level and send warmth' during the New Year's holidays, he knew the mystery of it, although there were not many things, but it could reflect the leader's concern and attention to them, and people sometimes needed such a little thing.

"The big guy stopped, the second master not only personally saw us coming, but also rewarded everyone with twenty taels of silver, today we all sell our strength, do our own things well, and get the second master right!" The steward held the silver aloft and turned to the ladies in the kitchen.

"Second Master Xie, Second Master rest assured!" The guys responded in unison, and immediately got busy, their hands and feet were much cleaner than just now, Zhao Ta asked about the recipes of the past few days, and accompanied by the waiting steward, he inspected the preparation of various items in the kitchen like a dog, praised him a few words, and then left in the sound of everyone's congratulations.

Zhao Ta left the dining room and ran to the courtyard where the nurses lived, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he said that he was hard, and immediately rewarded him with twenty taels of silver, "Second master, what are you doing, the little ones are panicking!" Meng Tao bowed and said.

"Master Meng, everyone is guarding the safety of the house in black and white, the second master looks distressed, this is not a new year, the second master means to add some wine money to everyone, and you can go to the wind chill at night!" Zhao Ren is really a little exquisite, a little bit clear, and replied on behalf of the prince.

"Second Master Xie, then we'll take it!" Meng Tao stepped forward and turned around and said to the public nursing home: "Although it is the wine money that the second master added to everyone, but remember not to make a mistake, drink less if you can drink, don't drink what you can't drink, there are many places where there is fire in the house during the New Year, and there are many people who can't live last year outside, and the lives of the two hundred people in the house are in everyone's hands, don't let down the kindness of the second master!" ”

"Everyone wants to eat and have fun during the New Year, and things depend on you, I'll take a look elsewhere!" Zhao Ta said goodbye with a smile. As soon as he went out, the nurses who were unwilling to be on duty just now began to shout and rush to be on duty for the night, Meng Tao could see that everyone was not for the wine money rewarded by the prince, but grateful that the prince had not forgotten them.

Zhao Ta led the little servants to wander around the house, the flower room, the horse shed, the pantry, and the various ministry rooms did not fall, and went around every place in the house, whether it was the steward of the hanging teacher, or the one who fed the horses, the one who guarded the door, and the subordinates who swept the floor, he had to come forward to say a few words to others, ask about the situation of the New Year at home, and send some silver to express his heart. ,

It was almost noon, and their group arrived at the door, which was the last stop, and saw that the men were taking off the old talisman board and replacing it with a new peach talisman, Zhao Ta felt fresh, in his previous life, he always heard of 'new peach for old talisman', but he had never seen what a peach talisman was, but he didn't expect God to throw him into this year to fulfill his wish.

"Zhao Ren, which immortal is drawn on this talisman board?" Zhao Ta looked at the new peach talisman that had just been replaced with his hands behind his back, the two immortals were wearing tiger helmets, their faces were hideous, and they were carrying a little ghost in their hands and riding a tiger, they were definitely not Qin Shubao and Yu Chi Jingde, the two gods of the later generations.

"Second master, the right is Yu Lei, the left is Shen Tu, according to legend, there is a big peach tree on the East China Sea Dushuo Mountain, the trunk is bent and stretched for three thousand miles, and the forked branches stretch all the way to the ghost gate in the northeast, and the ghosts who live in the cave under the ghost gate enter and exit from this door every day. Under the tree there are two gods who will be guarded by the gods. Whenever these two gods found evil spirits that were harming people, they would tie them up with ropes made of mango reeds and feed tigers. And the peach wood is the essence of the five woods, but it can also ward off evil spirits and suppress evil spirits, people will depict the two gods on the peach wood, and the rope of the hanging charm is also a reed rope! Zhao Ren really knew how to tell the truth, and he told it eloquently.

"Zhao Ren is right, with the two of them guarding the door, plus this immortal, the big ghosts and little ghosts can't get in!" Uncle Tian, the old man, said with a smile, and respectfully pasted the statue of Zhong Kui on the door.

"Okay, they take care of ghosts, Uncle Tian takes care of people, and none of the evil ghosts and bad people can get in!" Zhao Ta said with a smile, and asked Zhao Ren behind him to hand Lao Tian a piece of silver for two taels.

"Second Master Xie, the old man must guard the door, and none of them who want to make trouble will not let them in!" The old man said with a smile.

After condolences to all the staff in the house who are still 'fighting' on the post, Zhao Ta felt that his face was sour, his legs and stomachs were turning straight, and he was quite tired and panicked when he turned around in this big circle, and when he returned to the big study, Zhao Ta drank two cups of hot tea before he felt a little relieved.

"Second master, we have a total of one hundred and sixty-two taels of silver today, and the small one has a total of two hundred taels, and there are thirty-eight taels left!" Zhao Ren refilled the tea for the prince and said.

"Okay, you can keep the rest first, and you may still use it at night!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, he glanced up and down at Zhao Ren, he had been observing a few small people for a long time, among these people, Zhao Ren was stable and had the demeanor of an eldest brother.

"Yes, Second Master!" Zhao Ren replied, turning around and preparing to exit.

"Oh, Zhao Ren, call everyone in, it's cold outside, and then tell the kitchen to send more food, and you can eat with me at noon!" Zhao Ta leaned back on the soft couch and said.

"This... Yes, second master, I'll give you the order! Zhao Ren hesitated for a moment, then looked at the prince's face and replied.

······

On Chinese New Year's Eve, to worship the ancestors, but also to welcome the gods and offer Buddha, after lunch, all departments are engaged in this most important task, Zhao Ta, as the head of the family, is ignorant, he knows nothing about these red tape, can only be at the mercy of a puppet, let what to do, no right to speak.

At night, the house is brightly lit, and the lanterns and braziers in all parts of the ancestral hall are lit, and the house is illuminated like the day. All the relevant people in the house put on new clothes, bowed their heads outside the ancestral hall, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and Zhao Ta entered the ancestral hall accompanied by Huang Jingchen

In the ancestral hall, more than a dozen red candles with thick arms are spitting flames, and the images of the emperors and queens of the Great Song Dynasty are hung on the wall, the size of the images is equal to that of real people, with a crown on the head, wearing imperial robes, solemn and solemn, the images are lined with silk satin edging up and down, framed on the yellow silk, and there are three sacrifices such as animals in front of the statue.

"Lord, this is my dynasty ancestor, since childhood like to learn martial arts, grow up to join the army, the official to the palace in front of the inspection envoy, and then the army in Chenqiao to support the emperor, hard work, successively destroyed Jingxiang, Hou Shu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, pacified Wu Yue, Zhangquan, established my Great Song Dynasty century-old foundation!" Huang Jingchen said to Zhao Ta.

"Damn, it turned out to be a family revolutionary traditional education!" In his previous life, he was also surnamed Zhao, and after he was reborn, he was also surnamed Zhao, and they all said that the same surname was 'five hundred years ago', maybe he was really related to him, and kowtowing was not a loss.

"This is Emperor Taizong, the younger brother of Taizong..."

"This is Emperor Zhenzong, but the third son of Taizong..."

"This is Emperor Renzong, but the sixth son of Zhenzong..."

"This is Emperor Yingzong, because Renzong has no children, and the thirteenth son of Zhao Yunrang, the great-grandson of Taizong, Pu Anyi, the king of Taizong..."

"This is Emperor Shenzong, the eldest son of Yingzong..."

"This is the first emperor Zhezong, the sixth son of Shenzong..."

Huang Jingchen introduced one, Zhao Ta was about to pout his ass and make a big salute, seven emperors he kowtowed seventy-nine sixty-three heads, he had not kowtowed so many heads in his previous life and this life, making his head dizzy, he knelt down to listen to the life deeds of the next emperor, Huang Jingchen said with a smile: "Lord, the sacrifice is complete, you get up!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Ta stood up and rubbed his knees, only then did he realize that the next one was his father, he was still alive, and he couldn't hang here to enjoy the worship of future generations, but at this time he must have pouted his ass in Beijing and kowtowed to his brothers, thinking of this Zhao Ta couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhao Ta walked out of the ancestral hall, the sound of earth-shattering firecrackers sounded outside the house, all kinds of fireworks burst out, the flames were shining, and the people in the house knelt down to salute him and congratulated him in unison!
