The ministers gathered in the imperial study, and there was no time in the harem, looking at the ladies of the imperial court who came one after another, as well as the wives and daughters of officials, Cui Yan only felt that her head was a little big.

For the first time, she knew that there were so many royal rules.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was "sick", and she and the concubines in the harem only had to kowtow to Wei Mingzhu outside the Longevity Palace.

Sending away another group of people, Cui Yan rubbed the corners of her eyebrows that hurt a little.

In fact, Xiao Yu has already ordered people to get it all done, she just needs to accept gifts, see children or unmarried daughters, and give some rewards depending on the situation, no need to return the gift. Even, these rewards were taken out of Xiao Yu's private treasury, and she didn't have to pay a penny.

But even so, Cui Yan felt too tired to do it.

With so many people who came to her to pay New Year's greetings, if they came to the door one by one......

Cui Yan felt that she had to go crazy.

With Mama Wang here, there was no mess at the end of the day.

It wasn't until the twilight was over that the first day of the new year was really over.

Cui Yan looked at the gifts that the palace people had hand-picked and received, as well as the remaining items, even if she was not a knowledgeable person, she could see that these things were exquisite.

Cui Yan asked Mama Wang to pinch her shoulder.

"There are many rules in the palace." Cui Yan complained.

Mama Wang said, "The New Year has an extraordinary meaning for the people of the Great Zhou, even if it is not the royal family, not everyone, this year is also extremely precious."

At the beginning of the new year, we should visit each other and greet each other, and bring anger and vitality to our relatives and friends. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the elders of the family should take the younger ones to the ancestral hall to worship. On the one hand, it expresses that it does not forget its ancestors, and on the other hand, it begs for good weather in the coming year, a bumper harvest, and a family with clothes and food to eat. ”

These are all common sense, but Cui Yan doesn't understand them at all. Mama Wang shook her head, when Cui Yan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cui Haoran really ignored this daughter.

Cui Yan twitched the corners of her mouth, "Those scholars don't look like they will lack food and clothing, right?" "Need to beg for a bountiful harvest?

Mama Wang smiled, "Even if it is not a lack of food and clothing, the grains eaten are always planted by farmers." This custom has been passed down from ancient times to every household. ”

"Then we, are we going to worship our ancestors?"

Wang Mama said, "The imperial tomb is some distance away from the capital, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the royal family has a noble status, so naturally he will not go out easily." However, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor will still lead the royal family to worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven, begging God to bless the peace of the Great Zhou. ”

"Shall I go?" Compared with the content of the sacrifice, Cui Yan is obviously more concerned about this.

"Niangniang is the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she naturally wants to go."

Mama Wang wants to tell Cui Yan that the only woman in the harem who can stand side by side with the emperor is the queen.

"That's right." Cui Yan was not interested, and the whole person was stunned at once.

When it was dark, Wang Mingquan finally paid a New Year's greeting to Xiao Yu and the elderly clan relatives of the royal family, but before he could return to his house, he was stopped by the officials of the Gu family outside the palace gate.

Wang Mingquan rolled his eyes.

Well, I really can't escape today. If you go, you can go, and he is not afraid of Gu Yanhe.

The Gu family is on North Street, the first street and alley after the palace gate in the capital, and most of the princes and nobles are on this street.

Enter from the main entrance, pass through the nine-song corridor, and arrive at the Gu Mansion study.
