Chapter 268: Yuan Ri
They all said so, and Su Yixin thought she was too tired.
On the second day, Su Yixin got up in the morning, except for practicing in the peach forest for an hour, the rest of the time was either sleeping or eating.
It can be said that it is completely relaxed.
A comfortable day passed, and the next day was the first day.
The Northern Song Dynasty is called the Yuan Day, and the later generations are called the New Year.
It's all the same thing.
Regarding the Yuan Ri, a poem by the poet Wang Anshi expresses this meaning very well, called "Yuan Ri":
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.
Before dawn, I heard the sound of firecrackers one after another, so it was not lively.
Firecrackers are also called firecrackers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and in this period when there was no gunpowder and paper, the ancients used their wisdom to invent "firecrackers".
It is to burn the bamboo with fire to make it make a cracking sound to expel the plague god.
In later generations, these have been handed down through folklore, and Su Yixin really feels all this here.
Open the gate, at the height of their house, you can see the homes of many people, children playing, adults using a brazier, put bamboo into the basin, and after a while, the sound of explosion is heard, and people's faces are filled with happiness.
Su Yixin felt the villagers' good wishes for a better life.
The Gu family is naturally no exception.
Xingcai cousin and brother brought a large iron basin to the gate early, there are many bamboos in the back mountain, the bamboo has been cut yesterday, and today only need to throw the bamboo cut into a section into the pot and light the fire.
It didn't take long for the sound of "crackling" to come out of the iron basin, and it was extremely loud.
Brother Xi and Sister Ming stood aside, clapping their hands happily and making trouble, and they were still eating the candy man they bought from Tongyuan Town two days ago.
Put the firecrackers, and the next thing is to paste the couplet.
There are many people in the family, and there is no shortage of good handwriting, not to mention Gu Qingjue, his words are the same as the printed words, and he has a strong self-style, that is, Master Zeng's handwriting, vigorous and powerful, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and Qiu Hong's words are also more than delicate.
Putting anything else aside, Qiu Hong's handwriting is still very good, and people are also talented.
Let's talk about a few cousins, except for the words of Xingcai's cousin, which are difficult to see, the words of Xingmou and Xinghai's cousin are very majestic.
However, no matter how ugly the words of Baili Xingcai are, Su Yixin can't compare with them.
Even Li Zhengzhen, who is very persistent about eating, is serious, and the words are equally attractive.
Even the eight-year-old Xi Ge'er, who went to private school for a few months, now has much better handwriting than what she writes.
Su Yixin looked around, thinking that Gao Ge was the same as her, from a later life, when she couldn't write with a brush, she didn't expect Gao Ge's words to be beautiful and tight, and looked at Su Yixin proudly after writing: "Sister, envy!" ”
"Envy."
Su Yixin gritted her teeth.
There are so many people, except for the youngest Sister Ming, who can't handle her words.
Su Yixin was a little embarrassed.
Sister Ming didn't realize Su Yixin's embarrassment at all, and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, they are all writing couplets, why don't you write them?" ”
In a word, there is a slight pause, but the words are clear, so that people can hear them clearly.
"Ah...... This, so many people have written, enough, and it is not bad for my sister-in-law. ”
When Gu Qingjue on the side heard this, he came over and hugged Sister Ming'er: "What the eldest brother wrote is what your sister-in-law wrote, it's all the same!" ”
Even if Gu Qingming is eccentric, she doesn't understand the meaning of Gu Qingjue's words.
They are two people, what the eldest brother wrote is what the eldest brother wrote, how did it become the sister-in-law?
At this time, Xi Ge'er put the written couplet on the big table next to dry, and then took Sister Ming from Gu Qingjue's hand, hugged the person farther away, and said to Gu Qingming mysteriously: "Sister Ming, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are the same as Daddy and Auntie, they will sleep together and have babies in the future, so the eldest brother is the sister-in-law's, and the sister-in-law is still the sister-in-law!" ”
Su Yixin, who was deliberately eavesdropping, happened to meet Gu Qingjue's slightly picky peach blossom eyes: "!! ”
He wouldn't have heard it, would he?
Xige'er's remarks came to me, yours is mine, mine is still mine, this word is unlikely to appear in this era.
glanced at the smiling thief's shy, and suddenly understood.
Xige'er is Gao Ge's apprentice, and these fresh words must have been taught by Gao Ge.
Hmph, if you don't like her ugly words, then she will paste the lantern.
Su Yixin put the tools used to paste the lanterns one by one, and then guided them with the qi of the five elements, and protected the red paper on the lantern shelf made of bamboo, guided by the qi of the five elements, and the lanterns were thick and evenly pasted.
Gu Qingjue was very enthusiastic after Su Yixin pasted the lantern, and then wrote the word "Fu" with a pen.
Gu Qingjue knows several fonts, each time a lantern is pasted, it is written in one font, and then the lantern is placed next to the table in turn, and the couplet is placed in one place, waiting for the ink to dry!
After finishing these, Su Yixin went to the kitchen and took a look around, and found that there were a few people who had added them, even on the Yuan Day, they were still busy in an orderly manner.
Coming out of the kitchen, Su Yixin was about to eat melon seeds and cross her legs, when she saw An Lan coming over with a burden.
"Girl."
An Lan greeted Su Yixin with a smile, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
Su Yixin sighed twice: "It seems that you are looking for someone to take over!" ”
"Back girl, exactly!"
Su Yixin was also very happy that An Lan returned to her.
Today is the first day, and in two days, I will start visiting relatives and friends, what kind of relationship needs to prepare what gifts, there is a lot of attention inside, An Lan is very familiar with these things, with her on the side, Su Yixin doesn't have to worry about it at all.
One word: cool.
The handwriting of the written couplet was dry, and the rice milk boiled in the kitchen was also ready, and the brother and cousin each carried it, each holding a brush, and pasted it from the inside out, where it needed to be pasted.
Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue hung lanterns.
I could have flown up and hang it directly, but today is the New Year, and what I want is the atmosphere of the New Year.
Therefore, the ladder was still moved, Gu Qingjue climbed up and took the lantern handed over by Su Yixin, and hung it carefully.
Everyone worked separately, and soon the Gu family was very festively decorated.
At noon, I ate vegetarian noodles made by Fang's mother, there were many people, and I made a whole six pots, and after eating, the kitchen was completely busy, preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a menu written by Su Yixin, with a total of 28 dishes.
Wang Yunduo was taken home by Wang Sanyun yesterday, so this year's Yuan Day is divided into two tables, and the dishes on both tables are the same, that is, fifty-six plates, washing, washing, cutting and cutting, and the workload is still very large.
