Chapter 4 Chinese New Year

After October, the weather also became colder, and it was the end of the year.

Several families began to tighten the dried grain in the granary, and this year's grain harvest was okay, and after paying the grain tax, it was enough to eat for the next year.

In the month of La, every household began to prepare for the New Year's goods, ready for the festival, these decades, Dachang is still relatively peaceful and peaceful, the people's livelihood is also rich, compared to other people's livelihood, people's livelihood is quite good, because

Because the Yang family is a Daxing royal family, there is no suffering from military service, compared to other ordinary people, as long as they are more diligent, life can be better.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the men of the family sat on the table, and several women were on the small table in the inner room, the table in front was Yang Feiliang, and the back was Jia Shi sitting in the middle of a group of women.

"Before eating, I will tell you about our family a long time ago, after everyone listens, it is good to know for yourself, don't spread the word, remember, if anyone is disobedient, the family law bench will serve. Yang Feiliang said,

"Yes, father (grandfather)," they said.

"Our Taikang Continent is very large, and there used to be a country in the southernmost part of the Taikang Continent, called Daxingguo, and the royal family was surnamed Yang. ”

"Just thirty years ago, the Nine-Nation Alliance broke through the capital of Daxingguo, Lingcheng, the lord committed suicide, and the four brothers and clansmen of the imperial family were brought to Yancheng by Dachangguo, and since then, Daxingguo has been occupied by the army of the Nine Kingdoms. ”

"After the Nine-Nation Alliance swept the Daxing Palace and the rich scholars, the army returned to China, leaving envoys from various countries to form a Daxing ruling yamen, dividing the Daxing country into nine forces, and each found a local Daxing force as a puppet. ”

At this point, the royal family of Daxing Kingdom wandered abroad, and the land was divided and governed by other countries. ”

"I originally thought that after the destruction of the Great Xingguo, there would be greater disputes and wars in the Taikang Continent, but it really didn't appear, which is very rare. Yang Feiliang said.

"What happened to the Daxing Imperial Family later?" asked Yang Songkong, Yang Ayi's eldest son.

"Among the four sons of a large royal family, the eldest son and the second son's clansmen regard themselves as large royal families in Yancheng, and they are also powerful people, hoping to return to Daxing Kingdom one day to continue to be the lord of the country, and they can even be puppet royals. ”

"Originally, all countries also hoped to let the Yang royal family go back to manage the Daxing Kingdom, after all, the ten countries of the Taikang Continent have coexisted for five hundred years, and it is said that the ancestors are a family. At that time, Dongfang Kang, the lord of Dachang, also wanted to let the Yang royal family go back. ”

"Unfortunately, Dongfang Kang died in 975, and Dongfang Yu succeeded to the throne, Dongfang Yu was the real culprit who caused the collapse of the Great Xing Kingdom that year, so Dongfang Yu not only did not agree to amplify the Xing royal family back, but also benefited from secretly assassinating the Yang family. ”

"The eldest and the second clan are dead, crippled, and a little crazy, and now it is estimated that they are almost broken. ”

"So miserable!" said a few of the reserve in a soft voice.

"The third and fourth families applied to leave Yancheng and went to Wencheng County, and the third family bought a few old houses, and the fourth family bought some fields and built new houses. Yang Feiliang looked at a few juniors and continued: "I also thought of you, the third is Yang Feiyong's grandfather's family, and the fourth is our family. ”

"I talk about this every ten years, and I don't know if I have another decade like this, and if I don't, the next decade will be the eldest of you, do you hear?"

"I hear you. A few said together.

"After today, you are still living the same life, forgetting your identity, living the same life as ordinary people, I, I am still lazy and confused, and your grandmother is still in charge of things at home. Yang Feiliang said

"Okay, let's start the banquet now," Yang Feiliang called out to the back hall, "Old woman, it's time to open the table." ”

"Okay. Backhall responded.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will also begin. One of the most sumptuous meals of the year was my own meal.

Everyone quickly forgot the story Yang Feiliang told just now, and they all rushed to be the first to keep busy for their foreheads.

Time flies quickly, and when everyone is done eating, the women start to wash up, and the men go out and look at the scenery. The stars twinkle in the sky, which is very beautiful, and every now and then there is a sound of firecrackers.

After the women had washed themselves, they began to bake the fire in the inner hall.

Yang Feiliang also came in with his three sons, and the little girls also went to sleep.

The old man looked at the old lady, the old lady looked at the old man, and finally the old lady spoke,

"Some time ago, the third child came with his two sons, saying that he wanted to go back to the south to do something, I estimate that the risk is still very large, and now we are closely monitored by the government and our family. ”

"Once the old three families leave and return to the south, it is estimated that their lives will be in danger, and Dongfang Yu is still very afraid of the restoration of the country. The old lady continued.

"So, we have been honest with ourselves recently, and we will decide after watching the third child's actions, if so, the third child really has a move to leave, and it is a silent departure, we can't have Ren Yang's action, everyone must remember that it is safe to be monitored. ”

"This coming year, I want to tell Ah Kai a daughter-in-law, after all, she is 24 years old, although Ah Kai is a little wooden and honest, but I, as a mother, always hope that my children can start a family. The old man and I don't have a few years to live, so when the time comes, will you brothers and sisters-in-law take care of it? ”

"The daughter-in-law of the two houses will come to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go out and inquire, where is the right girl, our family is the ordinary people, there are also fields, there are houses, it is not the worst. Jia said.

"Mother, don't worry, after fifteen, I will go out to see immediately, our family's new house, not everyone knows about it, the third child must not marry a daughter-in-law, that is, the third child's requirements are not high. The daughter-in-law of the second room said.

"Ah Kai, what do you think of yourself?" the old lady asked the third child.

"Listen to my father and mother, listen to my brother and sister-in-law, I can do it. The third said.

"It's to live with you, if we choose, you don't like it, you must say, after all, it's with you. The daughter-in-law of the second room said.

"Well, okay. The third said.

"Then it's decided, as soon as the fifteenth of the next year passes, the two sisters-in-law will go out and walk around, and you can also inquire with a few coal wives in the township, and they will not be missing to be matchmakers. Jia continued,

"Also, after the coming year, Ah Yi you let Ah Guo go and see the movements of the third family, don't be discovered, as long as you know the movements, don't worry about the rest. ”

"I just hope that the third child will either not move, and if he moves, he must succeed, otherwise, they will also be in danger. When we are the only seedlings, we will not be able to live in peace. ”

"If necessary, let the children read some books and go out to practice, after all, we can't really live in Dachang for generations. ”

"Mother, we know. A few replied.

"Then let's all go back and rest, it's not too early, and tomorrow we have to get up early to clean the courtyard." ”
