At this time, the owner Yan Chun and Zhu Mingqiu were not in the main hall. Early in the morning, Zhu Mingzhu changed into a green dress, dressed in a plush coat, dressed as an ordinary woman and took Yan Chun to Chang'an Avenue, this Zhu Mingzhu chatted with Yan Chun, talking about the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household is preparing to celebrate the New Year, and the lights are colorful. I saw that the people along the street were busy writing spring accompaniment. The weather is cold, the streets on both sides of the North Chang'an City are not deserted, people breathe a sigh from time to time, warm their hands, and go to work again.

I used to come out with lotus, but now I think lotus is in the way. Zhu Mingzhu pointed to the lanterns full of disciples: "Do you all do this during the Chinese New Year?" ”

"One-on-one-one" Yan Chun listened to Zhu Mingzhu's words, he couldn't make a sound for a long time, and his eyes turned flexibly.

"Yes, not all of us will do this, but all the people of the Han nationality will do it, that is a custom for thousands of years, and it also indicates that you will be busy and have a good rest at the end of this year. No matter how busy and hard it is, this day is idle. You've never seen anything like that. Besides, it's not the same in the Forbidden City, and it's going to be a New Year. ”

"In the past, I rarely came out for two reasons, the first is that the north is very cold now, you must have seen it, everyone is wearing a sheep ball, everyone wraps themselves tightly. Besides, what else can we do in the palace? As long as it is this day, it is the guards in the palace who are busy, and they are the ones who are starting to prepare for the New Year, but my brother, every time he goes out on this day, he will not take me with him, and let me help him sit in the hall. On that day, there were many officials in the previous court recital. And the queen mother is too late to hide at this time. When the envoys of friendly relations arrived, they had to prepare a great gift. Zhu Mingzhu walked to the upper floor of Chang'an City and watched those soldiers busy.

"You are a princess, who dares to stop you." Yan Chun was a little puzzled.

"Being in the royal family has a lot of helplessness. It's because of my princess, so, and my royal brother has always been a person who can't sit still, there is really no way, Na is also my mother-in-law's watch, and she can't leave. In a situation like today, he really can't come out. ”

"Why?" Yan Chun looked at the pearl walked to the side of a rock sugar gourd and watched, Chinese New Year's Eve, in the morning, even a pound of vegetables can be sold at a high price, and these are indeed what the people need for the New Year. Most people still grow their own vegetables. We all know that it is superfluous to buy these at this time, but some foreign merchants, who have no land to plant, are willing to pay more money to buy some expensive vegetables.

"Haven't you heard of it?" Zhu Mingzhu didn't understand: "In this palace, there are discussions about the princes and nobles of all countries coming to Chang'an to pay New Year's greetings to the Ming Dynasty, they used to send envoys over, and last year it was discussed, and this year all the princes and nobles will send their relatives to come, and they are still young." They are all for one purpose, they want to marry Daming. ”

"Haven't they seen you in all these years? There are no envoys among these people who are coming now. Yan Chun was puzzled.

"You don't understand, it's just a morning, see you. Before coming, they all had to live in the post house, and when the princes and nobles came, we must not be rude and lazy. And if it were all envoys, as long as I sat on the main hall, they would still be able to see who it was from so far away, and besides, I would have sat on the side that day, and my queen mother would have gone up to the temple, and it was usually my queen mother who spoke. ”

I saw an old man carrying a ladder to paste Spring Festival couplets. At this time, in previous years, I went to sweep the grave with my brother in the morning at home, and pasted the Spring Festival couplets in the afternoon, and there was no grave sweeping in Chang'an City, so I finished today's things tomorrow. Yan Chun saw that the ladder looked tilted, and walked over to hold the ladder: "Old man, be careful, I'll help you paste it." ”

Yan Chun was a little sad, this old man actually hung the "herd of pigs and sheep" in front of the side door: "Old man, do you still have pigs?"

"I didn't write it myself, I did business all day long, and I bought it back with silver, and I posted it casually." The old man really didn't realize that he had posted it wrong, and he would make a joke.

"This can't be pasted with it, it's very particular." Yan Chun pointed to this and said to Zhu Mingzhu: "This is a banner pasted in the pigsty. If this is seen by people who are literate and literate, it will be a joke if they are illiterate in the family. ”

"What's wrong with this, it's not the same Spring Festival couplet?" Mingzhu is puzzled, how to pay attention to this.

"It's very particular," Zhu Mingzhu saw Yan Chun standing on the ladder, so she reached out to help Yan Chun straighten the couplet.

"The pigsty is hung on the door of the main house, and it really turns a room full of people into pigs?" Yan Chun asked rhetorically: "The door of the main house should be pasted with some auspicious words, such as purple qi coming from the east, or there are couplets usually posted by people who are mainly doing business: Business is prosperous and leads to the four seas, and the wealth is prosperous to the three rivers." Or it is to paste one in the boudoir year: the days increase the years, the people increase the years, and the spring is full of blessings. Wait a lot, and the place where the grain is loaded also has a corresponding couplet: what car enters ten thousand buckets, five grains and three boards, surplus grain is full of warehouses and so on. They are all the goals of the second year of human glue. ”

"Young man, you took your daughter-in-law all over the street so early in the morning, and you also came to the restaurant, right?" The old man could see it. But he didn't see Zhu Mingzhu's true identity.

"It's not." Yan Chun was about to explain something, but he just saw Zhu Mingzhu glaring at him: "Uncle, we are really still from other places, so we will come and go for a walk today." ”

"Tomorrow will be more lively." Notices have been posted everywhere, tomorrow is the day when our Daming princess recruits relatives, but this time it is unique, a platform is set up in the school field, and tomorrow there will be princes and nobles from various states to come, they want to marry Daming.

Yan Chun looked at Zhu Mingzhu and pasted the two. But the uncle said to them: "You have to look at the big well in the palace, then you can open your eyes." In addition to pasting the Spring Festival couplets, every household is also decorated with lights, and all of them are New Year couplets, after all, this is Chang'an Avenue, and there are many houses that are gone for various reasons. The lights you see are also uneven, and most of them are businessmen from other places. And the palace is a big well, but it is all original people, and it is only when you see them that you can open your eyes. ”

The two of them said goodbye to the old man. Walking towards the palace well, "Is what this old man said true?" Yan Chun asked.

"Yes, it's all true." Zhu Mingzhu nodded: "In previous years, I was helping to support, but this year is different, it is the princes and nobles who come." But you can't lose the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. It must be received by the royal brother in person. ”
