The next day, on the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth of the lunar month, the Ye family took action, and in these two days, they had to wash all the clothes that should be washed.

Yunxi only knew that she couldn't move the scissors during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't expect that there was a rule that she couldn't wash clothes, but this didn't matter to her, and she didn't need to wash clothes.

In addition to washing himself white, Yunxi can also help with two things, one is to cut window flowers and paste window flowers. The other is also manual work, making ingots for ancestors.

At the beginning, Yunxi naturally wanted to learn to cut window flowers. Window flowers and paper-cutting are very popular, and Lin is one of the masters, but according to the pregnant woman, she can't move the scissors, and the child will have a clear mouth, Yunxi thinks that it may be that the disease of rabbit lips is really a lot in ancient times, and there are not so many taboos about the mouth of the child.

So this year, the main knife is the Lin family's proud protégé - Yun Jin, and Yun Niang, who lives temporarily in the Ye family.

In order to show solemnity, Yun Niang will live in the Ye family until she and Lin Dongyang get married, of course, the marriage scheduled for the end of next year can only be advanced.

It is reported that after only waiting for the second dragon to raise its head in February, the Lin family began to build a house near the Ye family, although the Zhao family has moved out, and the problem of living in the county seat is not very big. However, after the incident, Old Man Lin still decided to retire early and don't worry about it. As long as the house is built and decorated, they can be married.

You don't need to know that Yunxi was hit again, Yunjin is beautiful, and Yun Niang is also a good player.

The window flowers she cut, the word Fu, were eliminated by Yunjin, although she felt good about herself, the first time she cut it, she could see that the shape was already very good, okay?

But this time it's okay, with the clouds as a companion. Yunxi and the three said that they had to paste their own cuts in their house. Yun Jin didn't agree, she would be too ugly to lose her people, but Yunxi didn't listen, and happily went to the kitchen to find a slurry to stick to.

This homemade syrup, similar to the noodle soup made in the north, has a certain stickiness, and can be pasted with window grilles and couplets. There is also a very thick, low-temperature boiled paste called paste, which is used to stick to the soles of shoes.

It is pitiful that there is no rubber sole in ancient times, the upper is purely handmade, the sole is really non-kung fu, a layer of cloth is sticky, and you have to tie the needle and line when you stick it, the strength is not penetrable at all, that is, the strength can be pierced through, and you also need to take a pliers to pull the needle out, novices often break the needle without a heart, you must know that the ancient needle is not cheap, there are special needle shops on the street, specializing in needlework, it can be seen that the profit is still very rich.

Uh, it's far away, and I'll post the couplet again.

The method of pasting the word Fu upside down has long existed, taking its homonym of "inverted" and "to", which means "Fu to". However, not all "Fu" characters have to be pasted upside down, especially on the door panel.

The word "Fu" is mainly pasted upside down in three places. One is on the water tank, and the other is on the dirt box (i.e., the garbage bin), because the contents of these two places have to be poured out of it. In order to avoid pouring out the blessings of the family, he skillfully used the homophonic word "to" of "pouring" and pasted the blessing word upside down. Use "Fu Zhi" to offset "Fu Go".

There is also a place on the cupboard inside the house. A cabinet is a place where items are stored. The word "Fu" is pasted upside down to indicate that good fortune (which is also wealth) has always come to the home, the house, and the cupboard.

And the word "Fu" on the door has always been sticky. The word "Fu" on the door has the meaning of "Yingfu" and "Nafu", and as the entrance and exit of the family, it is a very solemn and respectful place, so the word "Fu" must be solemn, dignified and generous, so it should be pasted.

In addition, there are peach charms, which are generally hung on the wall outside the gate to ward off evil spirits. According to Yunxi's observation, the peach talisman of each family has different directions, which should be related to feng shui.

Yunxi thinks that you can consider planting peach trees in the future, in addition to eating peaches and selling peaches, you don't have to worry about the aging peach trees being cut down, it is a pity that the aging peach trees are cut, and they are definitely in short supply in ancient times!

Another thing that can help is to make ingots for the ancestors. In addition to sending money to the ancestors on the morning of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important thing is to ask the relatives underground to go home for the New Year. This is the last time of the year to deal with the dead, and unlike the ancestor worship at home in the past, Yunxi can still participate this time.

First of all, I prepared paper money, which was the same yellow straw paper as now, which was generally rectangular, tied one by one. Either cut into the style of copper coins, or pay attention to the point, fold it into ingots, use this yellow straw paper to make it by hand, a bit similar to the technique of stacking boats, anyway, it looks quite like ingots, and the two ends are cocked. When you get the grave and burn it, you send money to your ancestors.

At this time, there was no paper money, and money could not be printed as it is in modern times. Yunxi knows that the paper money used in modern graves is in RMB, which is generally a denomination of 100, and he hits it three times with the palm of his hand on the yellow straw paper, indicating that a piece of money has been printed. She has also seen the kind of dark coins printed with the huge denomination of "Heaven and Earth Bank", this kind of gimmick that merchants came up with, I really don't know if the ancestors will be regarded as using counterfeit banknotes. It always doesn't feel like this kind of ingot, paper money is reliable. However, it is generally burned in all kinds, so I am not afraid of running out of money.

The ingots that were folded for two or three days were piled up in a big pile.

On the morning of the thirtieth, the kitchen prepared pork with ribs, called the knife head, cooked and brought it, and then brought the firecrackers and the main food aroma of the wine and set off. Of course, if the conditions are better, you can prepare a few more things, all of which are okay.

Led by Ye Yuan, except for the Lin family, who is pregnant, the rest must participate. According to Lin, he couldn't go because he was afraid that the baby in his belly would be scared.

Yunxi and the others soon arrived at the cemetery, not far from the Ye family, at the foot of the mountain, relying on the mountain and facing the water, it can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui. It is a cemetery, in fact, there is only a large grave where Yunxi's grandparents are buried together, buried at the top of the garden. Unlike the ancestral hall of the Ye family, there are many signs densely packed, don't ask Yunxi how he knows? Anyway, I just got it!

First, the weeds in the front and back of the ancestral tomb were cleared, and the sacrifices were placed on the stone altar, and then a large circle was drawn around the altar. This circle can ensure that the burned paper money will not be robbed by other ghosts. Then there are three deductions and nine worships, burn incense and send money, when you burn paper money ingots, you can give the words to the ancestors, and when the money is finished, the sacrifice is over, and you can go home for lunch.

Finally, there is a very important rule, that is, after going to the grave, you must go home directly, and you can't turn around the door, first, because you are afraid that the ancestors who came to the New Year will be lost, and secondly, other people's families are also unlucky. Therefore, the graves are all on their own, and there is no such thing as piggybacking.

After worshipping the ancestors, it will be completely fine, and if you eat and drink a lot at night, the year will come to an end. After the New Year and firecrackers, it is a new year.
