Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night, eat dumplings, keep the New Year, and after midnight, it is to change the peach charm and paste the Spring Festival couplets.

It was late at night, but the night was not as quiet as every night. The continuous sound of firecrackers in the small town makes this small town full of warmth.

Carrying the paste that had been boiled a long time ago, he opened the door. poked his head out, just in time to meet the eyes of Li An, who turned his head in front of the door next to him.

With a pair of eyes, the two looked at the things in each other's hands and couldn't help laughing.

From the gate of the Tao family, Xiaohua rushed out, raised the paste in her hand, and shouted: "Xiaolang, the paste-ah!" Zhenniang, you also came out to post couplets? ”

The work of pasting Spring Festival couplets is not so exquisite, unlike ancestor worship and sacrificial stoves, which have to be done by the male protagonist. So after Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Zhenniang took the job of sticking the Spring Festival on the first day of the new year. It's just that, in addition to herself, she also dragged a helper.

didn't answer Xiaohua's words, Lin Zhenniang turned her head, looked at Lin Jing, who was walking slowly, and said angrily: "It's not moving boxes, why are you walking so slowly?" ”

Holding the Spring Festival couplets and shaking them out slowly, Lin Jing pursed the corners of her mouth, "There are several!" It's not light! Poking his head out, he saw Ang Lee and said hello politely.

Although Ang Lee's talent is not obvious, people who know him well know that he is very good, so Lin Jing, who is also studying, is very polite to Ang Lee. But for Xiaohua, he just swept his eyes, and even when Xiaohua politely called "Lin Xiaolang", he only snorted from his nose.

Lin Zhenniang frowned, raised her hand, and subconsciously wanted to pat the back of Lin Jing's head. But as soon as her hand was raised, she came to her senses, and didn't hit Lin Jing, but just smiled and pushed him, "Go, see how to paste it, I'm good at brushing paste." ”

She pulled Lin Jing to paste the Spring Festival couplets together, not because she was tired of working alone, but because she wanted to do some work to bring her sister and brother closer.

Seeing that the relationship between the An family brothers and sisters is so good, she also wants to have a better relationship with Lin Jing. No matter what, they are all sisters and brothers, even if they are like jade in the middle, but the flesh and blood affection is there, and the relationship between sisters and brothers for a lifetime cannot be changed. Instead of being lukewarm all the time, it is better to handle the relationship better, which also makes Chen feel happy.

Since it is to get along with the relationship, she can't let her temperament hit the feelings of the little guy at this time. Even if she felt that Lin Jing was not doing well, she turned around and said behind her back. If you teach Lin Jing here regardless of it, it would be strange if the little guy didn't rebound immediately.

With a hello, Lin Zhenniang looked at Xiaohua while brushing the paste and rubbing her arms, knowing that she must be cold. Looking at Ang Lee again, although he looks ordinary, his face is also a little pale. Although both of them were wearing cotton jackets, they were old and worn, and there was no cotton in many places, and only two layers of cloth remained.

"Hurry up! It's better to go back and warm up - you haven't eaten dumplings yet, have you? ”

Hearing Lin Zhenniang's words, Xiaohua smiled timidly and did not speak.

Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, stuffed the paste bucket in her hand into Lin Jing's arms, and without speaking, she entered the door directly. didn't go to the main room, she went directly into the kitchen and filled a big bowl of dumplings that had just been removed and had not yet cooled.

"Zhenniang," standing at the door of the main house, although he saw the bowl in Lin Zhenniang's hand, Chen didn't ask half a sentence, only said: "Hurry up and paste the Spring Festival couplets, and it's good to go out of the city." ”

Lin Zhenniang answered and ran out of the door quickly. Stuffed the dumpling bowl into Li An's hand, "You guys eat quickly, and then paste it after eating, where can you do if you have no strength to work!" ”

Li An opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just smiled, put a dumpling in his mouth, put the bowl in Xiaohua's hand, and took the bucket to brush the paste.

Ignoring Li An and them, Lin Zhenniang pulled Lin Jing neatly with her hands and feet, brushed the paste, pasted the Spring Festival couplets, and specially pasted the word Fu down. Take a step back and look up and down, "Jiumo is in a good sunny place, and Liuhe is looking forward to the new spring." She smiled and clapped her hands, "Alright, good luck!" Blessed Qiankun, Brother Jing, go back. ”

Turning her head to look at Li An, she beckoned and said casually: "After eating, put the bowl at the door, and I will naturally accept it when I turn back." I'm still in a hurry to get out of town, so I won't talk to you more. ”

Pulling Lin Jing into the door, Lin Zhenniang didn't forget what she was thinking about just now to teach Lin Jing a lesson, "Brother Jing, just Xiaohua greeted you, why don't you answer her well?" That's how rude. ”

Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Lin Zhenniang, as if she thought Lin Zhenniang's words were so strange, "A girl!" ”

"What's wrong with the girl?" was angered by the contempt revealed in Lin Jing's words. Lin Zhenniang frowned at him, "Are you the son of a big family?" What else do you say, girl! The girl is not a human being? ”

Even if she knew that the first-class slaves and maids of the Great Song Dynasty were all cheap, but for Lin Zhenniang, whether it was a girl or a little girl, it was no different from her. In my bones, the idea of equality in later generations will not be reversed in my lifetime.

Lin Jing pursed her mouth and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but when she saw that Lin Zhenniang seemed to be really angry, she swallowed back the words she didn't say.

Lin Zhenniang glanced at him, although she still wanted to pull him to lecture, but the east man in the stable had already set up the donkey cart, and the Chen family in the backyard had already dressed up and greeted him. Before she could say anything else, Lin Zhenniang withdrew Lin Jing's hand, turned into the house and hurriedly changed her clothes, and also turned out.

Other people's families will rest for most of the New Year. However, people who believe in Buddhism have more important things to do when they celebrate the New Year-to grab the incense stick.

Legend has it that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, whoever can put incense on his head in front of the Buddha, the Buddha will bless him with a safe and smooth year. Moreover, the wish made when the incense was made on the first day of the new year, the Buddha will also pay more attention to it.

Lin Zhenniang naturally didn't believe in this legend. However, Chan was convinced. In previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Chen family also wanted to go to incense, but it would not be so early. This year, the Chen family was going to leave the city after midnight, but he deliberately wanted to grab this pillar of incense.

Da Song has no curfew. But it was impossible to get out of the city at night. The only exception of the year is probably only on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Every year after midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve, the gate of this Dingtao will be opened to open a convenient door for pilgrims who want to go out of the city to Qiji Temple to offer incense. It's just that this convenient door can only be entered and exited, and the people who go out of the city have to give meaning to the guards guarding the door.

This money, Lin Zhenniang was ready early in the morning. Ten pennies in a string, ten strings. The donkey cart arrived in front of the city gate, and a richly groomed carriage slowly drove out of the city gate. Their donkey cart followed the wagon, and it was very inconspicuous.

Poking her head out, Lin Zhenniang's eyes swept over the door, calculated the head, took four strings of money, and handed them to the gatekeeper who came to inspect, "Big brother, please drink a bowl of water and wine." ”

The goalkeeper's eyebrows furrowed, obviously because he didn't think he had much money. Although he didn't say anything and gave up, he muttered: "I don't have much money, what's the fun with big people-just you are so poor, can you still grab the head pillar incense?!" ”

Lin Zhenniang was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart, what does this pillar of incense have to do with whether there is money or not? Could it be that the monk of Qiji Temple can deliberately leave the pillar of incense for the rich?

Although he thought so in his heart, he only smiled slightly in front of the gatekeeper.

The donkey cart drove out of the city gate, and Lin Zhenniang vaguely heard the slightly surprised voice of the gatekeeper behind her: "Ah, Master An's book ......"

With a move in her heart, Lin Zhenniang lifted the curtain and looked at it. In the blurred light, she couldn't see the people in the city gate, and could only vaguely see a green canopy carriage with two people sitting on the wheel, one of whom was jumping out of the carriage and talking to the gatekeeper. The figure is slender and straight, and it does look a little familiar.

An Ronghe also wants to grab the head pillar incense?

Lin Zhenniang's eyes flashed slightly, retracted her body, and said with a smile: "Mother, it seems that there are really a lot of people who want to grab the first pillar incense." I have to tell Dongbo to hurry up......"

Chen smiled, and his fingers ran over the Buddhist beads in his hand one by one, "Don't be in such a hurry - in fact, it doesn't matter if you can grab the head pillar incense or not." The important thing is a heart. ”

Lin Zhenniang tilted her head, thought about it, laughed, and didn't speak.

Not perhaps, but definitely. In her mind, they couldn't grab this pillar of incense today. Not to mention the rich big families in Dingtao, even An Rong and such officials, they can't compare.

However, even if my mother said it, the important thing is the heart. They went out of the city in such a hurry, and they didn't even rest for a moment, thinking that the Buddha saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but learn from Chen's appearance and whispered "Amitabha Buddha ......", although her voice was low, it attracted Chen's sideways looks.

"This girl ......" Chen shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The Buddha is the most discerning eye, whether people in this world do good or evil, he sees it in his eyes!" Zhenniang, although we may not be a good person praised by everyone, whether we are a person or act, we must be worthy of our conscience......"

"Mother, I can save ......" Lin Zhenniang heard Chen speak for the first time. He didn't teach her how kind she should be, how virtuous and how docile she was, but she said that she was worthy of her conscience.

Her eyes fell, she hooked the corners of her mouth, suddenly raised her head and smiled, hugged Chen's arm, she shook it gently, and said coquettishly with a smile: "Mother doesn't look at who gave birth to me, how can she do something that is sorry for her conscience?" Even if I were a businessman, I would never be a profiteer......"

Hearing this, Chen didn't speak, just smiled and lightly tapped Lin Zhenniang's forehead.

In the silence of the night, a faint bell rang from afar. That's the bell of Qiji Temple, long and long, as if it rings in my heart......

Lin Zhenniang lifted the curtain and looked at it from a distance. In the endless night, the shadow of an eaves can be faintly seen.

That ancient temple, although it is not famous to the outside world, is not a brilliant building, but in Dingtao, it is just like the Xiangguo Temple in Bianliang, and has undoubted prestige......
