On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole city was very lively.

The streets were full of red lanterns, and the people on the street put on festive cotton jackets and faced everyone with an enthusiastic attitude.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, and they all go home for the New Year, and most of the people on the street come out of their homes, hang lanterns, paste couplets, or sit at the door and chatter.

"A little to the left, a little to the left, oops, too much, a little more to the right!"

Gu Shendui stood on a high bench and commanded the people in front of him to paste New Year's pictures, some of which were big blessing characters, and some of which were used for the door gods of the town.

Because the palace is very large, there is no such custom on weekdays, and some calligraphy and paintings are pasted everywhere, so it is a very huge project to paste them all at once.

Gu Shenwan had a whole day today, and he could waste it here at will, so he went out early in the morning and bought a lot of New Year's stickers on the street.

This year, it is not glue or tape that is used to paste New Year's pictures, but boiled paste.

It looks like a young and strong piece of rice sticky on the wall, and with two random strokes, you can stick a whole piece of paper on it, and it will hardly fall off for a whole year.

Of course, there are exceptions to heavy winds and rains, and this is not the case of fading.

Blindly commanded together, Gu Shendui looked at the New Year's paintings that had not changed much and nodded with satisfaction, this is already the last pair of door gods, and the next thing is to paste blessing words everywhere.

Originally, there were still a lot of exquisite paper-cuts, but Gu Shenwan calculated the price, and still felt that there was no need to buy such a big expense, just buy a bunch of blessing characters and paste them upside down.

Anyway, it's quite interesting to post a lot of red and purple, and it has a very New Year's atmosphere, so as not to make the palace with few people look deserted.

"You don't go over to take care of it, it's full of posts everywhere, how can you let people pass?"

Ye Qianli didn't think so, but felt that it was really festive, what he wanted was a New Year's atmosphere, as for the flowers, he was used to it, wasn't it just like that.

The people can stick it at home, why can't it be posted in the palace, although it is indeed a bit ruined to do so, but as long as it is not taken off, there will be no mark.

"It's going to be more like the New Year, isn't it?" Since it's the New Year, you should let it go.

Gu Shendu's troubles are indeed a bit big, and they can make up for it after all, but it is really unpleasant, so when the time comes, it will be dismantled directly, and the craftsman will be able to repair it again.

The adjutant had nothing to say.

Although Wang Fu has always liked to be low-key, dislike luxury, and everything is simple because of the king of Bei'an, he still invited a famous family to come here to work.

Every detail in this palace is not substantial, but it has also condensed a lot of hard work, but now all the designs have been destroyed because of so many door gods and blessing characters, and even he, a layman, will be extremely heartbroken when he sees it.

Gu Shenwan didn't have any awareness of this at all, he just felt that this place was really a bit too monotonous, and Ye Qianli was also ready to keep everything simple, and even prepared to be the same as the people.

Naturally, when it comes to the New Year, you should post some blessing word cuts.

After all the stickers were pasted, Gu Shenwan clapped his hands, but he felt that there was still something uncoordinated, so he slapped his head hard, and then he reacted, missing the most soulful couplet.

It's always right to post couplets during the New Year, but I haven't seen couplets sold before, so I didn't think about it.

"Is there any red paper, is there anyone who can write couplets?"

Someone was about to recommend himself, but saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in person: "Leave this kind of thing to me, it is often the head of the family who does it himself." ”

"What couplet are you going to post?"

Gu Shendui didn't have a lot of ink in his stomach, and he didn't write down a few couplets in total, but he remembered some couplets that were particularly difficult and once famous, but obviously those were not suitable.

After pondering for a long time, I finally found a good one from the depths of my memory.

"When you sleep until the second watch, all fame becomes an illusion. When I think of a hundred years from now, I will be an ancient. ”

Ye Qianli's eyes were a little strange, Gu Shendui noticed that his face was a little hot, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to mean a bit of salted fish.

But this is her state of mind, and she naturally feels that this is more suitable.

"From the book? I also saw a couplet in a book just now. ”

Someone had already brought pen and paper, and a long table had been moved and sat directly in the courtyard.

The sea is boundless and the sky is the shore, and the mountain is the peak!

A team of red and black characters, the font is majestic, like an iron painting silver hook, and the shocking domineering spirit is coming.

Compared to this domineering couplet, she is indeed a little too salty, but she still thinks that this couplet is not bad.

"I think if you want to add a horizontal batch, you should add a self-respecting horizontal batch to this couplet. Even if you are the crown prince, isn't it a bit too arrogant to do this? ”

"I have a compromise here, where there is a will, there is a way, and the hard work is worth it, you write this and hang it out, just anyone who reads it can be inspired."

Gu Shenwan felt that he had a good idea, and if he really hung up such an arrogant couplet, it was easy for people to think that he might have a rebellious heart and didn't take the emperor seriously.

It's different to hang out an inspirational one, not only will it not be offensive, but it will also be loved, and the meaning is very different.

One is self-respecting, and the other is a will, and there is a way.

"You're right." Ye Qianli didn't refute, but just brought a new red paper, rewrote a couplet, and asked people to paste it on the door outside.

Although there is a rule that all your doors are pasted with a couplet, but inside the palace, forget it, if there is such a rule, how many couplets should be pasted.

And how many people should be wasted of time, writing and posting all the time.

Gu Shendui didn't mention this matter, but continued to run over and give a blind command when he posted the couplet.

Sure that the board was just right, there were no wrinkles, and it was not crooked at all, Gu Shenwan nodded with satisfaction.

But the stomach made a protest sound at this time, and it has been so busy today that I haven't even noticed that I haven't eaten lunch yet.

"Let's go, I knew you'd be hungry, and now I'll go to dinner with me when I'm done, and I'll keep the food in the kitchen warm for you, it should be just right now."

Meals are hot, but the main food has to be served separately.

The kitchen temporarily placed a night's noodles for side dishes, and Gu Shendui was not picky.

What's more, eating noodles and gluten, the food is fragrant and delicious, and there is really nothing to find fault with.

Leftovers can have this taste, and they have been prepared in advance and experienced.

Gu Shendu's appetite was not very big, and he had leftovers after eating.
