Liu Luogu left, leaving behind the box of pearls, but also left many doubts.

An Lushan's Hu Er is definitely a smart person, and he must have his own meaning when he makes such a move, but Ye Chang couldn't guess his thoughts for a while.

He didn't know that An Lushan had come to Chang'an by cultivating the military attache road this time, and he had originally come for him, if he hadn't seen the insect girl here, he would have to suffer a lot, and he might even lose his life.

But after An Lushan found out that he was very close to the palace, he changed his mind.

In front of the insect girl, he pretended to be pretended, the purpose was to show Li Longji, but for Ye Chang, since he couldn't kill him silently, the best way to do it was to win over him.

If you can't guess, you can't guess, Ye Chang will put this matter aside for the time being, and he has to deal with the tricky and eccentric little girl of the insect girl. Worm Niang lived in Wolong Valley for two days, and brought a lot of things with her when she left: the method of making the kang and the manufacturing method of honeycomb coal.

The Fang clan has a very strong opinion on this, she feels that these things can make a lot of money, if it is in her own hands, send a steward to open a shop in Chang'an City and Luoyang City, each of which is enough to make people rich and rival the country. Ye Chang laughed at this, and was annoyed by her, so he threw out a sentence, "Money is inexhaustible, don't let others make money, only we are very rich, and the result will be the target of everyone." ”

After sending away the insect girl, less than ten days later, it was the Spring Festival of Datang. On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Chang, together with Xiang'er and Chunming, began to paste Spring Couplets, Door Gods and New Year Paintings - in this era, there are only peach charms, and door gods have only just begun to become popular.

"Lang Jun, why did you let the portraits of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei be posted in front of our door?"

"Well, that's because the legend says that Liu Bei, the ancestor of Shu, after the Battle of Chibi, asked for his life for many powerful ghosts, and couldn't sleep at night, and his two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, heard about it, so they guarded his door with a sword, and those evil ghosts didn't dare to approach. Later, Liu Bei asked the painter to paint the portraits of Guan and Zhang on the door, which could also deter evil ghosts......"

When Xiang'er asked this question, Ye Chang said nonsense, the genuine story should have been Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate after the change with Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao guarding the door, but now it is the Tang Dynasty, Ye Chang is still afraid that the descendants of these protagonists will come to find trouble, so he attached to Liu Bei and others.

"I see, with the two generals Guan Zhang, we won't be afraid of Wolong Valley...... But I think Zhao Yun is the most powerful, you told us about the battle of Changbanpo last time, and the slave felt that Zhao Yun was the most powerful, Lang Jun was like Zhao Yun, and Chunming was a dou who couldn't help up, and he was broken in the head, and he would be stupid in the future. ”

Ye Chang laughed, Chunming was really shot while lying down, his temperament was a little dull, especially in learning, he is now studying in the valley among the children with the worst grades, Mo said that compared with Xiang'er and Cinu, the six children that Ye Chang brought from Chang'an now surpass him.

But Chunming is not really stupid, he is very clever in running errands and helping out, especially in housework, and he can teach it. Sometimes Ye Chang also sighed secretly, this kid was born to be in charge.

"What show did you prepare tonight?" Ye Chang asked.

"If you don't tell Lang Jun now, Lang Jun will know the Tao by then." Xiang'er also has to keep it a secret from him.

The Chinese New Year's Eve in Wolong Valley was extremely lively, Ye Chang played a lot of tricks, he himself prepared six riddles for the Spring Festival, and anyone who could guess correctly got a prize. The rest of the people of all ages prepared a performance, both a cappella and a whirlwind, and everyone who performed got a souvenir.

Naturally, it is necessary to be like the Tang Dynasty people at this time, in the courtyard to light a fire called "Tingliao", the bad broom used in the home, etc., are thrown into the fire before the child, it is said that it can "make the warehouse worthy", and the shoes worn out at home have long been buried in the yard, which is said to help to produce the "son of the seal".

Because of the large place on his side, including Fang's mother and son, etc., many clansmen have come here to keep the New Year together, when they get a child, the bell rings in the Shifang Temple in the distance, and the people who keep the year get up one after another, and say auspicious words to each other, which is nothing more than "Fu Yan New Day, Celebration of Boundless Life", "Fu Qing Chu Xin, Shou Lu Extend" and so on, bow and bow, and so on, and then all the people disperse, each to his own family.

Such joy and excitement allowed Ye Chang to experience the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Great Tang.

The only thing that made Ye Chang a little uncomfortable was that there was no sound of firecrackers. However, it is not without substitutes, when the rooster crows on the first day of the first month, the servants of the family get up and stretch a large pile of green bamboo into the burning courtyard, and suddenly the sound of crackling horns sounds.

In addition to setting off pure natural "firecrackers" in the garden, the family also set up long poles in the courtyards of various parts of the valley, and the poles were tied with long cloth flags, which was called "flags".

Ye Chang also got up early and urged Xiang'er to read the book, symbolizing that the plan of the year lies in spring, and then he heard someone shouting him. When he opened the door, he saw the slave fly in, and then stood firm, and the little adult generally saluted him: "Nephew and slave, it's time to greet my uncle." ”

After finishing speaking, he really bowed down, his little appearance was clear-eyed, and he looked like a man in charge.

For this little nephew, Ye Chang was very happy.

"Cinu, today my uncle prepared a big red envelope for you to spend the New Year's money, but it is not easy to get this New Year's money, I will test you in my debut, when you will solve it, when you can take it." Ye Changdao.

As far as he knows, Datang has not yet said that the first day of the new year will send New Year's money, and he has set a precedent.

"Uncle, please speak."

"From one plus to one hundred, the sum is a few." Ye Changdao.

As soon as he gave up, there was a commotion at the front door over there, and then the younger generations of the same clan and children from all families in Wu Zepi rushed in. As soon as there were many people, it was lively, Ye Chang happily asked Chunming and the others to take the candy and snacks out, and let everyone grab them.

A few large plates were brought up on the fruit plate, and these younger children were not polite, they went from house to house to bow and kowtow, didn't they come for these delicious foods? What's more, Ye Chang can be said to be tired of eating, his family makes the most exquisite dim sum, and he doesn't save sugar and salt, so everyone fills their pockets.

When the children dispersed, Xiang'er smiled and said, "They all know that our family's snacks are delicious, so they went to pay homage to the patriarch and came to our house together." ”

"It's a little cunning, I said why did you come so early." Ye Chang smiled.

The Chinese New Year is like this, and it is lively and festive. However, there is no scattered sound of firecrackers, which is a little unbeautiful after all. Ye Chang estimated that no one would come for the time being, so he beckoned Xiang'er and said: "No, they took a lot of food from us, we have to eat back to not suffer, let's go, let's go to pay New Year's greetings too!" ”

"New Year's greetings are to kowtow, except for a few people who are old, let's Wu Zepi, how many families deserve to kowtow?" Xiang'er didn't think so.

"As long as you can receive food and kowtow, it will naturally be you and Chunming me."

"I know that this will be the case!"

Xiang'er muttered, but she was also very happy that she could go to another house to pay New Year's greetings and change food. Children don't necessarily want to eat, but the atmosphere and excitement are what they really want. In this almost playful bustle, they learned Chinese etiquette and Chinese socialization.

However, as soon as Ye Chang and the others arrived at the door, they froze.

But it was Ye Yan, the lord that Ye Chang wanted to call his uncle, who stopped in front of the door with a group of craftsmen.

"You're just here to ask for wages, right?" Chunming muttered.

"Nonsense, when will our Lang Jun be in arrears of wages, he says every time that migrant workers are not easy and cannot be in arrears." Xiang'er glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Ye Yan and the others naturally didn't come to ask for wages, they came to pay New Year's greetings. In the past year, they have taken a lot of business from Ye Chang, and these more than ten craftsmen have also learned new skills from Ye Chang. Wu Zepi is still a simple people, and everyone got the benefits of Ye Chang, so they forgot their age and came to Ye Chang early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.

Of course, they didn't have to kowtow and salute, they arched their hands one by one and said auspicious words, Ye Chang was a little flattered. Soon their attention focused on Ye Chang's door gods, New Year's paintings, among these craftsmen, there are also literate people, recognize the names of the characters on the paintings, especially the New Year's paintings, Ye Chang referred to the comic books of later generations, and printed a complete story, although the painting is rough, the carving is not good, but everyone reads or listens, all of them are relishing.

In this era, not to mention the people at the bottom, even the culture and entertainment of the scholars are too little, so Ye Chang will make a football play to become popular in Chang'an City. Comic strips are even more of a good thing, suitable for all ages, which is why they are so attractive.

Not long after they dispersed, Ye Chang was about to go to the patriarch, sister-in-law and uncles of the same clan to pay New Year's greetings, but he still arrived at the door, and dozens of people came together, but they were the people who benefited from the water diversion of the rainbow canal. These people were all favored by Ye Chang, and everyone did not forget their roots, so they came to Ye Chang to pay New Year's greetings first.

Wave after wave of New Year's greetings saw Ye Chang's influence in the local area. In the morning, he couldn't go out at all, and in the afternoon, people from neighboring villages who had offended Liu Fengyin came to pay New Year's greetings again—a silent thank you for bringing down Liu. In this way, it was not until the evening that Ye Chang had time to walk the elders on a one-off basis.

By the next day, there were more people who came to Wolong Valley, and many people who came yesterday went back to talk about the new thing of New Year's paintings, and many people, as long as they could have something to do with Ye Chang, they came to see the freshness. After figuring out everyone's intentions, Ye Chang couldn't laugh or cry: these New Year's paintings are actually comic books, and he was about to launch them on the market in the New Year, but he didn't expect to advertise them in his own house.

"No wonder Eleven Lang said that this comic book is elegant and vulgar, even illiterate people can read it with relish, I thought Eleven Lang was talking big, but now I know, it's really something."

On the fourth day of the new year, Ye Chang still had people to see in Wolong Valley, Ye Chang had to paste the New Year's picture on the wooden board and put it in the small pavilion at the entrance of the valley for others to watch, and only sent Cui Xiujing to watch it. Fang Shi, who came to pay him New Year's greetings, saw this scene and deliberately teased Ye Changdao.

"Sister-in-law, don't mention it, many people have asked me for this New Year's painting in the past few days, and there are bold and thick-skinned ones, so they will simply tear up the New Year's painting, so Cui Xiujing quarreled with people a few times, and I had to send all the black bones." Ye Chang complained.

"It turns out that Ye Shiyilang, who is full of wisdom, also has times when he is in trouble." Fang Shi glanced at him with a smile, his eyes were a little ambiguous: "Eleven Lang, in a few days I will bring some female dependents to see the New Year's paintings, you don't want to drive us to the pavilion." ”

"The people brought by my sister-in-law, where do I dare, I will definitely treat them with great courtesy." Ye Chang felt that his heart fluttered slightly, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong: "But which characters does my sister-in-law want to bring?" ”

"When the time comes, you will know the way, and when the time comes, take care of yourself more brilliantly, and don't lose your name."

"Wait a minute!" Ye Chang felt that there was something wrong with his sister-in-law's expression, it seemed very familiar, he thought for a while, and suddenly remembered: In another life, he was unmarried for a long time, and those enthusiastic people who were eager to pull matchmakers for themselves were like this every time they arranged a blind date for themselves!

"Sister-in-law is not going to bring that...... The girl from the Zhang family in that county town is coming, right? ”

"Eleven Lang, don't worry, I didn't specifically bring the girl from the Zhang family." Fang said with a smile: "Now that you find me, you want to marry Shiyi Lang, there are not ten families but eight families, I naturally want to pick the best one, I have already told them, tomorrow invite all the girls to get together, then you just pick, whoever you pick is who!" ”

Ye Chang was dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, don't!" ”

"No, you can still use three branches to prevaricate in the past, but now that you have returned our second branch, then the marriage matter will naturally be decided by me for you!" Fang Shi said unceremoniously: "You are not small, there must always be a lady in the house, Xiang'er is too young, if it is another three or five years, you will love her as much as possible, but now you are not allowed to touch her!" ”

During the Tang Dynasty, the customs were open, so there were background times for romantic stories such as "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Huo Xiaoyu". Fang Shi thought that Ye Chang was already able to dream of spring, so he was anxious to find a family for him, but Ye Chang really had no interest in it.

As for Xiang'er, he will not be fifteen years old in three or five years, and Ye Chang feels that he can't go so far.

"Sister-in-law, let's put this matter aside for the time being, I have a high vision now, in Xiuwu County, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Mo Ti has a high vision, marry a wife and marry virtue, marry a concubine and marry sex, don't you have the idea of the twenty-nine noble lord!" Fang's eyes widened slightly: "I warn you, the daughter of the Li family, no one is easy to mess with, most of them are troubles, you must not make mistakes!" ”

Ye Chang could only scratch his head, but after a glance, he had another idea: "Sister-in-law, it was actually in my dream in the old year, the immortal said to me, don't get married too early, otherwise there will be disaster......"

"You don't coax me with this, if this is really the case, why haven't you said it earlier?" Fang Shi saw through his trick at a glance: "Eleven Lang, since your brother is not here, there are only two men in our branch, you and the slave, the people are thin, and the slaves are small, if you don't open the branches and leaves as soon as possible, how can I have the face to see Aunt Weng and your brother?" ”

Ye Chang is really powerless, okay, as a master with one hundred and eight blind dates in another life, it is difficult to please girls, and there is always the ability to make girls hate.
