?At the end of the year, a news broke out in Anlu City and then disappeared: the Duke of Xiyang County took a concubine.

The general manager Yuwen Liang has two sons. It is rumored that one tiger and one cat are one. The tiger refers to the eldest son Yu Wenming, who is currently the governor of Xiangzhou. The cat is Yu Wenwen, the second son of this concubine, who is the Duke of Xiyang County.

I heard from people in Xiyang County Duke's Mansion that the young widow's surname was Yang, and his hometown was from Yizhou and his husband was widowed for a year. Yuwen Wen only married a beautiful lady at the beginning of the year, but he took a concubine before he could finish a year. He was still a little widow with his daughter. He was really anxious.

Yuwen Wen didn't care about the rumors outside, and he deliberately released some news to muddle the water. He wanted to "righteously" put Widow Yang (Yang Lihua) into the mansion and did not want her to change her surname.

New Year's Day is two days later, and the new year is coming. According to the customs, there are three important festivals in January: New Year's Day, People's Day, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The first day of the first month is New Year's Day. Yuan is the beginning of the day. New Year's Day is the beginning of the year, so it is also called "Three Yuan" which is the year of the year, the year of the month, and the year of the day; it is also called "Three Dynasty" which is the year of the year, the month of the month, and the day of the day. The so-called "one Yuan will start and everything will be renewed.

As the New Year comes, people reunite with their families at home to celebrate the New Year. The first thing they do after getting up in the early morning of the New Year is to burn firecrackers in front of the courtyard and burn grass to prevent evil spirits from catching up on mountain smells.

It is rumored that the evil ghost in Shanshao lives in the deep mountains and people will inevitably get seriously ill when they meet them. Its biggest weakness is that it is most afraid of hearing the sound of firecrackers.

Therefore, people use fire to barbecue bamboo joints in front of the hall to make crackling sounds that make evil spirits dare not enter the door. This sound can not only drive away ghosts but also add to the festive atmosphere.

"This is a real firecracker!" Yuwen Wen smiled slightly as he listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the window, and Yuchi Chifan was sitting on the side to dress up in front of the mirror.

The three-sided glass mirrors made before the New Year were not left in the mansion, and the new mirror was not available, so Yuwen Wen planned to give it to his wife Yuchi Chifan and Yang Lihua on the side room as a gift for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The butler Li Sanjiu ordered his subordinates to hang reed ropes in front of the gate of the mansion and put peach talismans on the door god. Everyone in the mansion was full of new clothes and joyful clothes.

The door god at this time was Shentu, Yulei, not Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde of later generations. According to legend, there was Shentu in ancient times. Yulei and others stood under the big peach tree on Dushuo to inspect the hundreds of ghosts. If ghosts harmed the world, they would tie them up with reed ropes to feed the tiger.

Therefore, people put a picture of Shentu Yulei on the door to pray for peace and convenience for the New Year, or write the names of the two gods on the peach wood board and hang them on the door to call them peach talismans. At the same time, they prepare the reed ropes for the two gods to catch ghosts, so that the ghosts will not dare to enter the door.

There are also some specialties in the door statues attached to the two doors, the left and the right and the right.

The first day of the first lunar month is the day of the chicken. During the Han Dynasty, chickens were not killed during the New Year. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people believed that the earthy spirit of the first lunar month sprouted and grew plants, while chickens ate grains and liked to bite hundreds of grasses, so they should kill sheep and simmer chickens to help grow plants and trees.

That is to say, kill the chicken and hang it on the door to relieve the anger to guard the peace. Of course, it is just hanging it on the door of the mansion or painting it on paper. If there is a dead chicken hanging in the doors of the mansion, it would be too cunning.

After all the storefronts to be handled, the New Year's Day congratulations ceremony was officially held. The male host of Xiyang County Duke Mansion Yuwen and the female host Yuchi Chifan sat upright in the front of the hall, and the wife Yang and Yuwen Wen's stepdaughter Yuwen Xiaoyao sat in the side seat to accept congratulations from the upper and lower parts of the mansion.

Except for Yang Ji who congratulated him as a guest, the rest of the people worshipped the Lord and his wife as the servant master.

Yuwen Wen transformed into a boy with money, and sent a hanging copper coins of varying sizes sealed by red paper to the people in the mansion. Even the little boy Zhang Yu was holding was paid.

Zhang Yu's sister-in-law helped in the mansion and lived in the mansion with her one-year-old child. The orphan and widowed mother were taken care of in the mansion. The little guy was originally skinny and now he has become more and more fleshy. He urinated on Zhang Yu all day long.

Yang Ji was alone and had no interest in getting married, so Yuwen Wen asked him to stay in the mansion, and the two of them discussed some secrets from time to time.

After the ceremony, we drink pepper and cypress wine, tusu wine, peach soup, eat gummy oats and five-pin plates in order to ensure that everyone is healthy and happy in the new year.

Pepper and cypress wine is a wine soaked with pepper flowers and cypress leaves. At that time, people believed that pepper was the essence of Yuhengxing, which makes people young. Cypress is a kind of immortal medicine that can help all diseases. Drinking this wine is intended to wish everyone a light and healthy body in the new year.

The order of drinking is also quite special. The youngest drinks the oldest drinks first, and then drinks first. I wish the young people a successful career and then to wish the elderly good health and longevity. The family of Xiyang County Gong Yuwen Eying is the youngest, and Yang Lihua is the longest, but she is not yet twenty years old.

Peach soup is made of soaked peach branches, peach leaves and peach stems. Peach has the power to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts in the eyes of the world. Drinking peach soup has the intention to expel evil spirits and suppress all ghosts in order to drive away evil spirits.

Tusu wine is made from asarum, dried ginger, etc. At that time, people thought that eating it could help people remove the plague; it is said that eating it can make the teeth firm, and the sausage is thin sugar.

The Wuxin Plate is made of five spicy vegetables, green onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and radish. Eating them can help people unblock the energy of the five internal organs and be beneficial to their health.

When going out on the New Year, he would also bring the Chinggui Pill to drive away evil spirits from invading the body. The Chinggui Pill is made of wax and realgar. When going out, he would wear it on his arms on his left and right. Yuwen Wen was so amused and crying about this kind of thing, but he still followed the customs and wore the Chinggui Pill with his wife Yuchi Chifan to visit his elders.

Before leaving, I paid homage to the deceased Yuwen Yi in the ancestral hall. This is the father of Yuwen Wen’s patriarchal law and the source of his inheritance of the Duke of Xiyang County.

Yuwen Wen has no acquaintances in Anlu, and his brother is far away from Xiangyang and takes his wife to the headmaster's residence to pay homage to his father Yuwen Liang. As for the father-in-law and mother-in-law next door, his family will be on January 2, because that is to go back to his parents' home.

However, my sister-in-law Yuchi Mingyue didn't care about that much. On New Year's Day morning, she rushed to the house of her sister-in-law next door to visit her good sister Yuwen Eying. Yuwen Wen secretly created a batch of new gifts, which she specially hid from Yuwen Eying until this morning:

Based on the 21st century children's recreation facilities, he asked the carpenter to make slides, carousels and other things suitable for little girls to play with. This is a New Year gift prepared by Yuwen Wen for Yuwen Eying.

Although her father is the bastard Yuwen Yun, since the Empress Dowager Yang Lihua is already her own woman, it is worthy of being nice to the little girl.

Yuwen Yun, have you ever thought about today when you forced my wife to be ill-intentioned?

Yuwen Wen was unhappy when he thought of the face of Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun, but he protected his beloved wife from being defiled by the other party. It was really a pleasure to still have a love affair with the pretty widow Yang Lihua for life.

Of course, the ghost father is purely a rumor. I will slander you if you are familiar with it!

The novel toys made Yuchi Mingyue and Yuwen Eying have a lot of fun playing, and they never stopped going to the goldfish pond that had been lingering every day.

The goldfish pond in the mansion was created by Yuwen Wen before he returned to Anlu and stayed in Xiangyang, and he asked the butler Li Sanjiu to urgently take Yuwen Eying to see that the goldfish didn't want to really turn into a goldfish guy.

The next day, after accompanying his wife back to her mother's house next door, Yuwen Wen had nothing to do for several days. He accompanied Yuchi Chifan and Yang Lihua, whose belly was already bulging, to spend a few days in the mansion.

Next is the second important festival of January: People's Day.

At this time, the first day of the first month is the day of the chicken, the second day is the dog, the third day is the pig, the fourth day is the sheep, the sixth day is the horse, and the seventh day of the first month is the day of the human.

On this day, every household uses seven kinds of vegetables as soup, cut and forge them into human shapes, or carved gold into human shapes, stick them on the screen or wear them on their heads as symbols of human day. At home, they also make them in Huasheng and give them to each other.

Huasheng means Huasheng, which is a kind of ornament worn by women on their heads.

Another custom is to climb high and look far, which is a popular fashion that is similar to climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival.

Next is the third important festival of January: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Early in the morning, Yuwen Wen asked Yuchi Chifan to sit in front of the dressing table and then put a wooden box in front of her: "This is a gift for her husband to Sanniang."

The beautiful woman who was still stranded on her cheeks all night was looking at her husband and then at the wooden box. She thought that the other party was ridiculous and must have thought about something to help draw the thrush, and then as she painted, she entangled her with the sun Xuan and the other way.

Yuchi Chifan, who was about to fly into the flames, blushed and opened the wooden box until he saw the things inside clearly, and then let out a low voice, his slender hand trembled but was held by his husband.

It was a mirror that I had never seen before, reflecting my appearance like a bronze mirror, but it was clear that many of them could be called hair.

"This is called a glass mirror, it was made from the workshop in the mansion." Yuwen Wen whispered in her ear, "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" Yuchi Chifan said without hesitation, looking at the mirror without turning his eyes, as if he had never seen the person inside. After a while, he began to wave his head left and right to look at the image in the mirror.

She was completely immersed in meditation and looked at Yuwen Wen next to her as if nothing had happened.

The same is true for Yang Lihua. When she gently opened the wooden box given to her by her husband, she instantly freezes. Then she waved her head left and right to admire the beauty in the mirror.

As the former Crown Princess, Empress and Queen Mother Yang Lihua have seen countless treasures, but none of them can make her lose her soul like this mirror today. This mirror is as incredible as a god imposed a spell.

The two beauties were completely fascinated by the glass mirror. Yuwen Wen even suspected that they would ask in the mirror: "Who is the most beautiful magic mirror?"

Although Yuwen Wen repeatedly told the mirror that it was necessary to ventilate and not to see too much, Yang Lihua was still reluctant to leave. Although Annu asked her to put away the mirror for the sake of fetal fetus in her belly, she couldn't help but take it out and take it out to take it out and take it out.

The status of the head of Yuwen Wen's family was replaced by glass mirrors.

Eating Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a custom after the Tang and Song dynasties. At this time, people still regard the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as a day of sacrifice, especially the silkworm god.

It was just the time when the mulberry trees were sprouting. The growth of the mulberry trees was related to the harvest of the silkworm industry and whether they were living conditions of the people, as well as whether the government could collect taxes on three pieces of silk per household on time.

The custom of worshiping the temple gates in Jingchu is also popular in the Jingchu area. The bean paste is made on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and added oil to the sacrificial portal. The specific process is to insert the willow branches on the left and right doors according to the direction pointed by the willow branches, and use wine, dried wine, bean porridge, and cakes, and chopsticks to sacrifice.

Yuwen Wen could only follow the custom of sacrificing chopsticks in a bowl without saying a word.

It is popular in Jingchu that pregnant women wear cicadas on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is also alias for daylily lily. It is also a good name for daylily lily. It is also a good place for male cicadas to be tied into a cicada shape for pregnant women to wear it on the night of the fifteenth daylily.

Yuwen Wen started to tossing and turbulently until the evening did not make a decent Yi Nan cicada for Yang Lihua to wear. Of course, there was another wife, Yuchi Chifan, who was pregnant, regardless of whether she had to wear it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is not yet popular today. Visiting the night market to watch lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month, but the north, especially Chang'an, has begun to take shape. Yuwen Wen recalled the grand occasion of the Chang'an night on the 15th of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in history:

In the first month of the year, the streets are filled with streets and streets, drums are singing to the sky and torches are shining on the ground, people wear beasts and men wear women's clothes, advocate strange and strange figures, and they live together inside and outside without avoiding each other.

It has been nearly a year since this era came, and he couldn't help but miss his parents from another era:

Dad and Mom, I don’t know what your elders are now...
