Chapter 197: New Year's Eve Two or Three Things
Although the grand ceremony is in twilight, the lively Spring Festival has just begun.
The old year ends tonight, and the new year is coming tomorrow. In later generations, it describes the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In ancient times, because the year was the day of a grand ceremony, the civil and military officials in the capital actually spent with the emperor.
Therefore, the second day of the Lunar New Year is actually the first day for court officials to spend the New Year with their families.
From the second day of the Lunar New Year, there will be three consecutive holidays for civil and military officials to rest and walk with each other.
Of course, if the emperor summons him temporarily, the officials in Beijing cannot be postponed.
However, it does not prevent Chang'an City from entering the Spring Festival from becoming stronger and stronger.
From ancient times to the present, the most happy child every year during the Spring Festival is the child.
Even poor families will buy some delicious food or buy a new set of clothes for their children.
If you spend all your money on spring money, children can eat colorful clothes. This is the best description.
It was an indispensable project for people in the Tang Dynasty to burn firecrackers during the Spring Festival.
Listening to the childlike heart of burning firecrackers and watching the old and old ways to change the Tao Talisman is the expectation of a better life.
Burning firecrackers is not just an entertainment activity. The sound of bursting bamboo tubes into the fire makes it sound, but also means driving away evil spirits.
It is just because of technical limitations that the firecrackers of the Tang Dynasty were filled with earth gunpowder, and the sounds made after they were lit were not as thunder as the sounds of later generations.
After entering the countryside, Yang Fan was taking Xiao Douding to watch the servant burning firecrackers in the yard.
Hearing crackling sounds and the joyful laughter of the children in the yard made Yang Fan involuntarily integrate into it.
It was just that the sound was too low, so Yang Fan wondered if he should improve the formula of gunpowder.
Although there is no need to develop muskets and cannons, if gunpowder is successfully developed, it is still a good choice to use it to open mountains and crack the ground.
The sound of firecrackers is lively, but there is a topic in Chang'an City that is more explosive than the sound of firecrackers.
The topic of discussion is of course what happened in the dynasty meeting.
Yang Fan became famous all of a sudden.
But this time it was not a good reputation, but a stigma and a stigma.
Under the promotion of some people who are interested, Yang Fan’s actions in the dynasty meeting were circulated out of context.
The three of them are tigers, so they sell the princess for honor, cheat on the guile, bully the weak and fear the strong, and these have become synonyms for Yang Fan.
However, Yang Fan didn't care. The clear ones are clear and the turbid ones are turbid, and there are always such a small group of people who can see the truth.
A firecracker was set off in the yard, and Yang Fan took another nap until the sun was on his way. He woke up slowly, and he had enough sleep and had enough energy.
This period of time is indeed hard enough, and I prepare for the grand ceremony day and night.
He wanted to conquer the two little fairies in the mansion, which made Yang Fan feel a little overwhelmed.
As soon as he woke up, Wu Meiniang sent her servants to report that the gift of greetings to the New Year was ready.
Only then did I remember that friends in ancient times needed to greet each other.
As the saying goes, add a piece of the plum blossoms, and laugh at the New Year at the fifth update.
Although it is noon now, it is also a good time to greet New Year's greetings.
Throughout history, New Year greetings have been a good opportunity to get closer to brothers and friends.
No matter how close or far away you are, on this day of celebration, you will smile and say good New Year.
As a junior, Yang Fan must first go to congratulate him for his friends and parents who are still alive.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s an official title or a status, but a kind of respect for friends.
So Yang Fan had to take advantage of this holiday to walk around more.
To pay New Year’s greetings to relatives and friends, important officials in the court go door to door to greet and get familiar with each other, this is a kind of etiquette and a kind of friendship.
People carry flowers in sedan chairs, and people are as social animals, you cannot be independent of the world.
Although Yang Fan’s willingness to pay New Year’s greetings was not very strong.
But who made him have Wu Zetian, a good housekeeper, so of course she would do the preparation of the gifts.
Even though Yang Fan doesn't like this kind of red tape, he still knows that this is the way friends get along and the way to socialize in the officialdom.
Since you have traveled to this era, you can only adapt to the rules of this era.
If you seem out of place, you can only be eliminated by this world, because you cannot completely change a world.
Even if it can affect it, it will be a long process and cannot be achieved overnight.
Of course, there are also relatives who are close to each other. Fortunately, there are not many friends, otherwise they would be exhausted to pay New Year's greetings.
In the officialdom, although Yang Fan was not old, he was considered to be of high status and powerful and was deeply favored. Not everyone was qualified to let him go to pay New Year's greetings, which saved a lot of effort.
For important officials and some colleagues in the court, you only need to come to the door to congratulate them.
Therefore, Yang Fan put the mansions of several brothers who were closer to him behind. There was no way, and it took a long time.
However, it also gave Yang Fan the most headache.
For example, when I went to Fang Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, I was directly taken to the study room to appreciate calligraphy and paintings for a long time.
Although Yang Fan is known as the unparalleled poetry, only he himself knows that it is because he stole the achievements of his descendants.
Therefore, Yang Fan, who was captured by Fang Xuanling to appreciate calligraphy and paintings, was in a miserable state and was dejected like a stale quail.
Even after the last bite of hot rice, he quickly ran away by using urine.
When we arrived at Cheng's mansion, we almost killed Yang Fan.
Because Cheng Yaojin, this guy, directly brought a group of little devils to accompany him to drink.
Several people even started playing wheel battles, pouring them down one cup after another.
Before she could meet the girl Cheng Yuzhu who was longing for a long time, Yang Fan was so drunk that she was unconscious.
If Yang Fan hadn’t had good physical fitness, he would have had a stomach perforation if he didn’t do it well.
Before he woke up from the hangover, Yang Fan did not come to the mansion of British Duke Li Ji in a dark circle until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Li Ji was very happy when Yang Fan's arrival, but when Yang Fan was yawning and was listless, he looked a little unhappy.
He frowned and said, "Wine and color are all scrapers. Young people should be more modest. Don't wait until their bodies collapse before regretting it."
Yang Fan drooped his head, feeling a little amused: "The British Duke doesn't know that yesterday he went to Duke Lu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and was killed by the devils of all sizes... Uncle Cheng took turns to drink wine, but he couldn't drink it. He was really helpless and had no way to talk about his lust!"
Thinking of Cheng Yaojin's slutty temperament as a demon king in the world, even he could not do anything about Cheng Yaojin's shameless temperament.
What can Yang Fan do when he is young?
Li Ji couldn't help but smile. As long as it wasn't too much wine and sex, that's fine!
I was worried about Li Siwen just now!
If this kid is addicted to beauty, even if he is a villain, Li Ji will let Li Siwen extinguish that thought.
However, Li Ji was also very pleased and knew that he had misunderstood, so he apologized: "The old man Cheng is indeed a bastard. He has a good personality and can't even be a husband. This is no wonder that nephew has wronged you."
Yang Fan raised his head and looked around for a week, but did not see Li Siwen's figure. He seemed a little strange: "Brother Siwen is not in the mansion? Why didn't he see him coming out?"
