Chapter 137: Chinese New Year's Eve
The last day of Xining's 2nd year was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the city of Tokyo was unimaginably lively.
This was the first year Ding Yang had spent in the time and space of the heterogeneous plane, and it was also the first time he had seen the flavor of the year thousands of years ago.
It is said that the Chinese New Year after a thousand years does not have too many profound things in Ding Yang's memory, except that there are more various activities, it seems that there is not much difference from usual.
However, thousands of years ago, the Chinese New Year in Tokyo was very lively, especially after the 24th day of the lunar month.
Ding Yang also saw various festival activities of traditional customs for the first time, such as worshipping the king of the stove on the night of the festival, and Pan An's and Pan Xiaomei were busy from early in the morning.
There are also many poor people who form groups in groups of three or five, or disguise themselves as women's clothes, or draw grimaces, and there are also people dressed as fairies, beating gongs and drums and begging along the streets. After asking Pan An's, Ding Yang knew that this was called beating the night hu, which was to drive away trouble.
But it feels like Halloween in the West in later generations, and it is also a similar routine of pretending to be a ghost.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that many festivals in the East and the West are similar in content, but there are only slight differences in form.
When it came to Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, he was even busier.
Since the morning, every household is sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, changing the door god and nailing the peach charm. Offerings are also made to sacrifice to ancestors, to worship gods, and to pray for good health and joy in the New Year.
Even in the imperial city, there is no peace, I heard that there will be the Imperial City Division to come forward, organize the relatives and the direct guards of all classes to dress up, and parade in the image of the general of the town hall, the judge, Zhong Kui, Liuding, Liujia, the land lord, the divine soldier, the divine captain, and the god of the king of the stove.
At least a team of thousands of people was dispatched in order to drive the sneaky out of the imperial city, the so-called burial.
In the market, the sound of firecrackers continued, all kinds of festival goods were sold, and people from all over the country rushed over.
Even rural village women who rarely enter the city in a year will take advantage of the New Year to go into the city to buy things.
Tear a few pieces of cloth, buy some rouge gouache, buy some small things to make the children happy, and always have to be lively and happy.
Originally, the permanent population of Tokyo City exceeded one million, but now it has more than doubled, making Ding Yang a little in a trance - this population density is almost no different from that of later metropolises.
Although Pan Anshi didn't go out, he gave Ding Yang money to go out to buy, and by the way, he also bought something he liked.
"Since it's the New Year, let's go out and see if you have anything you like to buy back!"
“…… Am I not unpaid? Then the money is ......"
"Love or not! If you don't want it, get it back for me! ”
"Yes, yes, why not? I get up early every day and work hard at night, why don't I want money? ”
Pan An's mouth is fierce, but the money that was really given to Ding Yang is a lot - enough money.
With so much money, Ding Yang almost regarded himself as a big money.
He didn't buy any luxury goods to consume, it was nothing more than to see the freshness of the Song Dynasty New Year. I am most interested in some snacks and handicraft knick-knacks.
These things are not valuable, and casually Ding Yang carried back a large bag, and Pan Anshi, who saw it, frowned.
"I said you're quite a big person, why do you still like to buy these things like a child?"
Except for Pan Xiaomei's interest in the various gadgets purchased by Ding Yang, Pan Anshi just casually looked at it and was no longer interested, but taught him a lesson.
Ding Yang just liked what he hadn't seen before, and couldn't help but refute a few words, and the angry Pan An's willow eyebrows were upside down. But for the New Year, it's not good to be too harsh, so you can only stare at him hatefully.
But Pan An's pair of watery peach blossom eyes are used to stare at people, and there is no deterrent effect at all, but the more charming they are.
Ding Yang was naturally not afraid: "Anyway, how can I spend money indiscriminately?" When these things are brought to my hometown, they are definitely a good thing that everyone is fighting for. Why don't you let me buy it! ”
"I just can't say no! You are young and have not yet started a family, how can you do it without saving some money in your hands! I don't care, but your wages will be kept with me in the future, so that you don't spend them all in vain. ”
"I said sister-in-law, you are the owner, not my daughter-in-law! Why are you still a housekeeper? ”
"Ah, you kid dare to say anything? Stop me and see if I don't screw your mouth!" ”
After a thousand years, it was just a casual joke, but in the Song Dynasty, it would cause big trouble.
That is, Pan An's family doesn't care about these, and Ding Yang wouldn't talk like this if he were someone else.
In the midst of the hustle, Ding Yang spent his first Spring Festival a thousand years ago.
Tong Guò has been getting along for the past 2 months, whether it is Pan An's or Pan Xiaomei, and he feels very harmonious. Even he himself could feel that the day was not far from fully integrating into the social life of the Song Dynasty.
He may have even blended in, but he hadn't noticed it yet.
Although looking at the faint red line on the back of his hand, which represents the activity of the plane, it is still about a quarter short of reaching the wrist, but it is obvious that Ding Yang feels that this breakthrough should be close at hand, and it may be a layer of window paper that has not yet been pierced!
The atmosphere of the New Year was very joyful, and Ding Yang also deliberately went to cook for Pan Anshi and Pan Xiaomei to show their unique skills of stir-frying.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there are several dishes that he has fried by himself.
The charm of stir-fry is irresistible, and Pan Xiaomei, who only eats, can't even bother to speak.
Although Pan An's has picked the thorns one after another, the taste is not good, but the degree of chopsticks is never slow.
It was Ah Huang, who was also lying on the ground next to him eating and drinking, shaking his head and tail happily.
The qiē in front of him was very good, and everyone was looking forward to this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, but Ding Yang had some regrets in his heart.
Thousands of years later, parents, family and friends will not talk about it, and they will feel that the level of activity of the plane is likely to be reached, and the time to meet again is not far away.
But what can I do with Ruby?
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, he also went to the alley outside Baokangmen, but it turned out that the place where Hongyu lived was empty.
Didn't you say you'd wait for me to come back? Why did it suddenly disappear?
I have the heart to inquire about the situation, but there are a lot of people around him who have seen him, and Ding Yang, who is worried about showing up and revealing his whereabouts, is not easy to investigate. After spending money to hire idlers, it took a few inquiries to understand a little bit of the situation.
It turned out that Hongyu was fine at first after he left, but was soon taken down by Huo Sijiu and taken into custody by the government as Ding Yang's accomplice.
Hearing this, Ding Yang couldn't help it, and he couldn't wait to find a way to save people immediately.
The prison of the government, where can you easily enter? With a weak body like red jade, he can't bear it at all!
Fortunately, there is a follow-up to the news that came in, and it is said that a friend of Hongyu is in a Qinglou and has made money for the relationship, which rescued Hongyu and took her in.
And the courtyard that Hongyu originally rented was also taken back by the government and ordered the landlord to take it back.
It is said that when Hongyu moved away, she cried like a tearful person.
Others thought that she was reluctant to move away from the former residence, but in fact, Ding Yang knew that it was Hongyu who was worried that he would not find anyone after he returned.
After all, in the huge city of Tokyo, there is no fixed place to find it in the vast sea of people, who knows how to contact it?
didn't dare to say it explicitly, but just told a few neighbors around her many times - if any relatives came to look for her, she said that she would move to Broken Yuxuan, just find Miss Chuchu.
When Ding Yang heard this, he didn't know that this was a clue left for him, and he kept it firmly in his heart.
However, now that he knew the clues, and obviously felt that the activity of the plane might have a breakthrough in the near future, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he could only secretly remember the whereabouts of the red jade in his heart, and did not go to her immediately.
turned around and took the opportunity to secretly take a look at the current situation of Huo Sijiu and the other storytellers in the Baokang Gate tile.
Without Ding Yang competing here, their listeners all returned. Even Huo Sijiu was very shameless and began to mix the story that Ding Yang had said, and took it out to tell it after a little renovation.
In the end, Ding Yang has not been telling stories for a long time, and there are many people who have not heard these stories, and they are really rich by him.
It is said that during this time, Huo Sijiu's hook fence was very popular. And other storytellers have also begun to start a new chapter in the form of Ding Yang's story, which is also very popular.
Ding Yang watched for a while, and left quietly without saying anything.
However, in my heart, I made a new account for Huo Sijiu and the others - hmph, don't look at your fun today, beware of pulling the list later! When I pass the trial task, let's calculate the old accounts and new accounts together!
By the way, I went to the Mandarin Duck Tower, and it was still a particularly lively atmosphere of people coming and going.
Ding Yang, who didn't see any familiar faces, took a few glances from afar, and hurriedly left the scene secretly. If he gets caught, the life of picking up soap is not a life he is willing to accept.
After all, he met a lot of people in this trial mission, including good people and bad people, benefactors and enemies.
All the qiē should be finished when he comes back after the trial task is completed!
There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge!
Perhaps seeing Ding Yang's sad face when he was happy on Chinese New Year's Eve, Pan Anshi rolled his eyes and got up to leave.
After a while, I saw her bring out a small jar of wine, and when she opened the mud seal, she could immediately smell the aroma of wine.
"This is a good wine that has been aged for five years, and today while we are happy for the New Year, let's have a drink. With good dishes, how can there be no good wine to accompany the taste, Ding Ding also comes to taste, and keeps it so that you will forget any troubles after eating. ”
After receiving a bowl of wine, Ding Yang reacted.
But before he could say anything, Pan Anshi also picked up a bowl of wine and said to him: "Don't think about anything, no one can care about everything in life." All the things in the past, let it go with the wind! ”
Seeing that Pan Anshi raised his head very heroically and drank, two rich blush rose on his cheeks, which were particularly delicate and seductive under the candlelight.
Dare to be comforted by others!
Ding Yang, who is not really sad, can't cry or laugh, but he is also very grateful for Pan An's carefulness.
In any case, this bowl of wine is going to be dried.
Well, it's really good wine! In other words, after drinking and looking at Pan An's pair of peach blossom eyes, the more charming he felt
