Chapter 788
Li Yundong made a handful of chartered women, but it made Su Chan angry fiercely, but the little girl still felt that it was a little cheaper This dead woman who drove them out at the beginning, if she used her temper, it would be polite if she didn't have a brick on her face.
After cursing Li Yundong and squatting in the toilet for two whole days, she finally got rid of the smelly toilet, and she lost weight in two days.
Although he knew that Li Yundong was fixing himself in this matter, the charter wife didn't dare to make a noise, what kind of joke was she making, if something happened again, who knew if the next time she drank it would be real poisonous tea?
But this thing is just a small episode, life is like this, sometimes the noise is earth-shattering, both sides can't wait to eliminate each other together spiritually, but when they look back after the matter has passed, they often have a feeling of shaking their heads and laughing, just like a person who looks at himself who is still young after growing up.
Li Yundong is like this, he learned about the charter wife, and also completely announced that he said goodbye to his previous youthful years, and he who cultivated to the golden body realm in his twenties will usher in his glorious years.
However, before this, what Li Yundong wanted most was to have a good year with the people around him.
This is the first Spring Festival he has had since he met Su Chan, Ziyuan and Zhou Qin.
Although there is still some time before the Spring Festival, it is now approaching the 23rd day of the lunar month, which is also the day of the "Little Year".
Although the cultivation world has declined to the point of almost seclusion, and the contemporary society is becoming less and less traditional, the cultivation world still maintains its traditional position under the impact of the torrent of reform and opening up.
Ziyuan is an authentic inner room disciple, ancestors up to five generations, all of them are practitioners, this is a fairy who has been practicing since the mother's womb, she is deeply branded with the elegance and dignity of traditional Chinese women, docile and feminine, as well as conservative and introverted characteristics
Ziyuan's emphasis on tradition is deep in her bones, she knows that she may be imprisoned, but in order to abide by the tradition of the Linggong faction to take over the ceremony, she would rather sacrifice herself and abide by the rules.
Similarly, Su Chan is also a girl who attaches great importance to tradition, but unlike Ziyuan, Ziyuan's observance of tradition is in the edification and exposure of the environment from a young age, everyone tells her that she must abide by the tradition and rules, so she has become a mechanical doll full of clockwork and walking on a fixed track; Tradition is just a powerful force of inertia for her.
In stark contrast to them is Zhou Qin, the daughter of the official family who has been out of the customs has been dialed by Zhang Zhishun, she has practiced diligently day and night, and has broken through to the intermediate realm of the golden body in the realm of cultivation, as long as she understands the "unity of heaven and man, the void is infinite", she can cultivate to the realm of the golden height, and reach the realm of the same "perfect jade body" as Li Yundong.
Zhou Qin is not a very traditional person, she is very rebellious in her bones, but in fact, sometimes rebellion is an alternative tradition, especially when she converted to Li Yundong's door, she became the most pious cultivator, and she tried her best to maintain everything in the cultivation world, and as for the tradition, it was incumbent on her to maintain it.
In addition, this is the first Spring Festival for them and Li Yundong, whether it is out of justice or personal feelings, they all want to have a prosperous and lively Spring Festival.
But according to the traditional rules, the Spring Festival is a small year, that is, the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month for the sacrificial stove, the reason why there is a difference of two days, is because there is the so-called "official three people, four boats and five families", that is, the official government on the 23rd of the lunar month, the general people on the 24th, and the boatmen who beg for a living on the water are on the 25th.
China is a world of farming culture, and the people love the soil, so the people who beg for a living on the water seemed to be a group of non-mainstream at that time, so the term "celebrating the New Year on the 25th" is not widespread, and it is generally still spent on the 23rd and 4th two days.
Most of the practitioners in the ancient cultivation circles were officials, the Han Dynasty's Wudou Mi Sect prevailed in Sichuan and Shu, and the local ruler Zhang Lu was even the head of the Wudou Mi Sect and the grandson of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism; the Tianshi Dao during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Louguan Dao during the Tang Dynasty, these were all major cultivation schools that were certified by the emperor and the government, and the head of the sect or the head of the sect had extremely high official positions.
Among them, the founders of the "Lotus Picking Conference" during the Tang Dynasty, Taoist Dazhen Luo Gongyuan, Ye Fashan and others, they are all high-ranking officials, among which Ye Fashan was named Hongluqing and Yue Guogong during the Tang Ruizong period.
In the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the cultivation world entered the heyday of China's 2,000-year-old feudal history, and the head of the Zhengyi Sect was repeatedly named "Dazhenren" by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, given the title of "Heavenly Master", and had the power to "propose the appointment and dismissal of Taoist affairs management officials and Taoist temple managers in various parts of the Yangtze River, and to propose to the emperor the funding and staffing of the new Taoist palaces", and even had the power to directly issue "degrees" This power has only been available to the government since ancient times, which also means that during this period, the cultivation world officially became a bureaucratic class.
In the Yuan Dynasty, with the support of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, the Quanzhen faction rose, and the power in the hands of Qiu Chuji and his disciples even exceeded that of the previous Zhengyi sect leader, and this situation was not slowly faded until the death of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty and the succession of Emperor Wanli.
Therefore, although the cultivation world has almost been forgotten by now, they still follow the tradition of celebrating the New Year on the 23rd, that is, the day when the government celebrates the New Year.
There are two traditions in the small year, one is to sweep the year, and the other is to sacrifice the stove.
Sweeping the New Year, as the name suggests, is to clean up and down the whole family when the New Year is coming. The sacrificial stove is even more easy to understand, and it is an event held to worship the king of the stove.
The day before the 23rd of the lunar month, Li Yundong also transferred back the last batch of little foxes who stayed in the three immortals to stick to their posts, and the next day, they got up early, starting from him to Su Chan, Ziyuan, Zhou Qin, Lin Miao, and Cao Yi, Liu Yuehong and the little foxes of the Fox Zen Gate, they all rolled up their sleeves and got busy at home.
Although they are all cultivators with high or low cultivation, it stands to reason that hygiene is just a very ordinary thing, but they are all extremely serious, without the slightest hint of neglect, and the little foxes are even more sleeves rolled up high, revealing their arms like snow lotus, and seriously wiping the glass and floor.
Li Yundong, as the head of the house, naturally led by example, holding a broom honestly without any mana and spells, lying on the floor and wiping the dust under the bed, while behind him was followed by Su Chan, who looked like a small tail, holding a dustpan in his hand, and pointed behind him with a smile: "Here, here to wipe it, oops, that, there, there is dust there!"
Li Yundong listened to her scolding Fang Xuan behind her, talking more lively than what he did, and couldn't help but look back and smile: "Hey, where is the dust? Why didn't I see it?"
Su Chan smiled and pointed to the corner of the wall: "There, I can only see it from my angle." ”
Li Yundong smiled and handed the dusty broom to her nose: "Only you can see it?"
Su Chan immediately covered his nose with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's dirty, take it away!" Obviously, you said that you won't let me sweep it, why do you regret it now?"
Li Yundong snorted: "I didn't let you idle around and command." ”
Su Cicada chuckled, and was about to speak, but saw a knock on the door behind him, and the two looked back, but saw that Ziyuan was wrapped in a purple silk scarf on his head, which was obviously used to cover up the dust.
Shion's fingers knocked on the open door, and the other hand gently pulled the silk scarf off her head, and the black hair coiled on her head also fell like a waterfall. She shook her head slightly, shaking her hair as if to shake off the worldly dust standing on her head.
At this moment, the fairy who seemed to be walking in the clouds in the past also seemed to have fallen into the mortal dust and became a housewife, Li Yundong and Su Chan looked at each other and smiled.
Li Yundong smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shion smiled and said, "Everyone is almost done cleaning, and the sacrificial stove is ready, so you can only do this by yourself, so we will go to hide." ”
Ziyuan has a cautious temperament and rarely jokes with others, her words are quite playful, Li Yundong immediately laughed, his head shook like a rattle, he knew that the traditional custom of the sacrificial stove in ancient times was that women could not participate, as the saying goes: men do not worship the moon, women do not sacrifice to the stove.
Moon worship refers to the Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, which is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in the Milky Way, commonly known as the Daughter's Day. On this night, in ancient times, women would be in the balcony and courtyard, furnishing fruits and cakes, lighting incense and candles, and praying to the moon until late at night. This is a women's holiday, and macho men should certainly not participate in it.
And the female does not sacrifice the stove shows the feudal era of the strong "male superiority and female inferiority, patriarchal preference" custom characteristics, the Tang Dynasty Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous Tales Nuogao Ji I" in the cloud: the name of the stove god Kui, like a beauty. It means that the Lord of the Stove is a handsome guy who is as handsome as a beauty.
The man is afraid that there will be a suspicion of "fornication between men and women" after the worship of the woman, so there is a saying that the woman does not sacrifice to the stove.
Ziyuan's observance of tradition seems to be a bit old-fashioned, even pedantic, no matter what is good or bad, it is like what her master Wang Yuanshan said to her, whether it is true or not, she will do it again.
Li Yundong didn't care about this, his head shook even more, and said: "What are you talking about, what age is it, and women don't sacrifice to the stove? Don't joke, there are so many of us here, just me, you let me sacrifice the stove alone? Isn't this a joke?"
Ziyuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I don't care, the rules can't be broken, you go to the sacrificial stove by yourself, let's go out to do New Year's goods." ”
Li Yundong was anxious: "Don't, you leave me alone at home and go out shopping?
Ziyuan shook his head with a smile, and his attitude was very resolute.
Li Yundong was helpless, turned his head to look at Su Chan, but saw Su Chan burst out laughing, jumped to Ziyuan's side, and said with a smile: "I want to go out shopping with Sister Ziyuan." ”
Li Yundong was so angry, he rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I just went out to do New Year's goods yesterday, and today you toss again! Okay, you all go out, leave me alone to guard the house! Look at how many losers you have!"
Zi Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and went out, Su Chan also followed out of the door, and after a while, the little foxes obviously got the news, cheered, and poured out of the door.
The originally lively home suddenly became deserted, and Li Yundong sat on the edge of the bed depressedly, muttering in his heart, should he stay to sacrifice this damn stove, or just go shopping with them?
Although it's only a small year, it's too bleak to be left at home alone, right?
Li Yundong was hesitating, but suddenly saw a pretty face leaning out of the door, a pair of eyes bent into an arc with a smile, who is it not Su Chan?
Li Yundong was taken aback, then overjoyed, and beckoned to Su Chan: "You didn't go?"
Su Chan brought a burst of fragrant wind into Li Yundong's arms, smiling like a little fox who had done bad things and succeeded in his tricks: "Hehe, they are all out, so that the chick can make love with her uncle!"
