In the early morning, Xiao Huang, the early people, were busy hanging peach talismans on the main entrance of their homes. Someone lit a bonfire and threw bamboo into the fire to make a "crackling" sound for the bamboo joints roasted by the fire, creating a joyful atmosphere for Xiao Huang.

The New Year is the beginning of the year, the beginning of the four seasons, and the beginning of the month, so it is also called "Three Yuan" and "Three Rights".

It is precisely because of this that the New Year's Day is a very important festival. From all over the world, from high-ranking officials and nobles to the people, celebrations will be held on the New Year's Day in order to have a good start this year.

The wealthy family has rich clothes and food, and the celebrations are of course rich and colorful. The common people's family is short of money, but it has been a year of hard work. On the New Year, they always have to eat some meat, change into a new set of clothes, then burn firecrackers and hang peach talismans to make the atmosphere festive.

The firecrackers of this era meant exactly on paper, referring to bamboos burned by fire.

The bursting of bamboo joints was not as big as the "firecrackers" made by gunpowder in later generations, but at this time, firecrackers were burning everywhere in the city, so that people from all households could hear "crackling" sounds at home.

At the main entrance of the Prince Bin Mansion, there were two beautifully decorated carriages parked, with various flags inserted on the carriage, demonstrating the noble identity of the person who was about to ride. In front and behind the carriage were guards of the royal palace and guards in armor.

Wang Yuwen, wearing official uniforms, boarded the car with Princess Yuchi Chifan and wanted to go to the General Administration Office to preside over the New Year celebration.

The two carriages, Yuwen Wen and Yuchi Chifan, were arranged in this way because the two identities required: Bozhou general manager, Bin, Yuwen Wen, wanted to convene civil and military officials at the official office for a banquet, while the princess Yuchi Chifan also wanted to convene foreign wives and wives of civil and military officials at the backyard of the official office for a banquet.

As a vassal king, Yuwen Wen is the most noble person in Henan's territory, and as a princess, Yuchi Chifan is also the most noble person in Henan's territory. Therefore, when the two of them go on a trip, they of course have their own car and honor guard team.

Even though Yuchi Chifan was riding in the same carriage with his husband Yuwen Wen at this time, the princess had to accompany him, so that she could demonstrate the identity and status of Princess Bin.

Therefore, the guard of honor set out in front of the Bin Mansion was actually composed of two teams of people. It was a grand scale and walked on the street with extraordinary momentum.

After a while, Yuwen Wen and Yuchi Chifan were entertaining male guests and female guests at the official office respectively, and presided over the corresponding celebration. The ending time of the two celebrations was before and after. According to convention, the celebrations for female guests would end faster. Then when the princess returned home, she naturally had to take her own car instead of staying to "raise the car".

This is a ritual system, which concerns the face of the court. The King of Bin and his wife can be willful and do not abide by it, but they will be criticized. The couple does not want to damage their reputation for some trivial matters, so naturally everything is done according to the ritual system.

The New Year celebration is an extremely important public occasion, and the pomp and dress are naturally of particular importance. Therefore, Yuwen Wen wears official uniforms and should have all the clothes, and the same is true for the princess Yuchi Chifan.

As an outsider, she naturally dressed in etiquette, from jewelry, clothing to accessories, and unintentionally did not abide by the corresponding regulations.

But there were a lot of hair accessories on his head, so it was difficult to turn his neck casually. Yuwen Wen felt it was quite funny and helpless when he saw Yuchi Chifan sitting upright and looking cautious.

For the princess' outfit, the maid of the princess was busy for half an hour before dressing up the princess. Yuwen Wenguang felt tired even if he thought about it. However, from ancient times to the present, isn't the dressing of women before going out all the difficult problems?

Pure dressing is pretty good, and the requirements of the relevant etiquette system are red tape. It is very tiring to implement, but it must be followed. After all, this is an official activity, and in full view of everyone, rude behavior will make a laugh.

Yuwen Wen gently held Yuchi Chifan's hand, smiled, and told the other party not to be too nervous: "What is the New Year's Day celebration in the metropolitan government? In the future, the scene will be spectacular when the New Year's Day celebration is held."

Yuchi Chifan nodded and said "um", and started a low voice with Yuwen Wen, talking about the celebration to be held for a while, and talking about some precautions. Both of them looked a little lack of sleep, not because they were struggling all night, but because they stayed up late to stay up to the New Year last night.

Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and the house in Prince Bin was very lively. Yuwen Wen and his family stayed up late to stay up to the New Year, so naturally they lacked enough sleep.

His "family group" includes thirteen people, five adults (primary and side rooms), and eight children. However, his stepdaughter Yuwen Eying has already gotten married, so there are a total of twelve people in the "family group" in the royal palace.

Soon after, Yang Lihua, Xiao Jiuniang and Yuchi Mingyue will have to give him a child or Yuwen Wen works hard, and Zhang Lihua may also give him a child.

Last night, Yuwen Wen was having fun with his wives, concubines and children. As the head of the family, he was naturally very happy to see the reunion scene, but he felt that this was not enough, it was really not enough.

Yuwen Wen envies someone very much, so he hopes to learn from the other party. Not to mention achieving the other party’s achievements, but at least half of the other party’s achievements are at least half of that, that is, he has twenty sons.

The role model is Chen Xu, Emperor Xuan of Chen State. This person is very capable and has forty sons.

Yuwen Wen felt that everyone was a man, and he himself had no "unspeakable hiddenness". Although he was not an emperor at the moment, it was no problem to support his sons. It seems that having twenty sons is not a difficult task to complete.

Therefore, in addition to continuing to work hard with wives and concubines, we also have to take more concubines. If we calculate that each person has three sons on average, we must have at least seven wives and concubines, and the "fastest rate" is high.

The task is arduous, but Yuwen Wen is very confident about it.

While the couple was talking in a low voice, the speed of the carriage slowed down and continued to move forward not long afterwards. Yuchi Chifan gently lifted the curtains and saw the situation outside the window: the carriage he was riding in was passing through a "level" on the street.

This level guarded by sandbags, horse-rejecting horses and dozens of soldiers is like a small pass, cutting the streets in half. People who come and go to the level must undergo inspection and confirm their identity before they can pass.

Of course, the convoy of King Bin's Mansion does not need to be inspected, because this level is set up by King Bin, and the safety of the official office must be absolutely guaranteed today.

For Yu Wen Wen, this is not so much a checkpoint but a barricade. He arranged soldiers at the intersections of the main streets near the General Administration Office, relying on barricades built with sandbags and horses to carry out internal and external warnings.

Officials and guests who want to attend the celebration at the General Administration Office must pass the inspection of military officers at the barricade before they can continue to move forward. Most of their entourage will stop outside the barricade and are not allowed to approach the official office, let alone enter the official office.

Anyone who attempts to use a small group of cavalry to attack the official office and conducts a "beheading battle" against King Bin, if he wants to break through these temporary barricades, it will take a considerable time, and it is basically impossible to break through before reinforcements arrive.

The carefully constructed barricade allows the garrison soldiers to effectively snipe the invading enemy. The specially designed horse-resistance can effectively intercept horses and carriages that forcibly break through, and no one can forcefully break through.
