Chapter 444 The New Year is here

Whether it is the end of the year or God has eyes, today, under the cold winter, although the cold wind is howling, it is rare to see a touch of winter sun.

At this time, the New Year Festival finally arrived.

New Year's Eve is also the last day at the end of the year.

According to the customs passed down from the pre-Qin period, a Nuo exorcism ceremony will be held on this day.

It became even more lively inside and outside the city.

For the people's homes, the whole family must be reunited and feasted and vigilant tonight, and the lights are endless, so there are a lot of things to prepare during the day.

In the Tang Dynasty, people were quite rich in festival etiquette and programmatic.

Some are cleaning and some are preparing ingredients for cooking.

Some also insert peach branches, stick door gods, hang spring banners, and calligraphy.

Speaking of this door god, it is definitely not Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde who were posted by later generations.

Now the two of them are still alive and well. It should be that when they arrived in the Song Dynasty, they walked into the door of the people's homes.

During the Tang Dynasty, the door gods usually chose two peach wood boards with two gods painted on them, the left Shentu and the right Yulei.

Then hang the peach wood boards on the left and right sides of the main door, which was the door god in the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding Shentu and Yulei, there is such a record in the Shanhai Jing: In the vast sea, there are mountains of Dushuo.

There is a large peach wood above, which is tilted for three thousand miles.

His skills are idle in the northeast, and it is called the Ghost Gate, where all ghosts come and go.

There are two gods above, one is Shentu and the other is Yulei, who is the master of reading and leading all ghosts.

The general meaning is that these two gods and men are in charge of the evil ghosts in the world.

The two of them were painted on peach wood boards and hung them at the door, so the evil ghosts naturally avoided them and did not dare to enter the door again.

today--

Wen Bo, who never cared about how late Tang Sufan slept.

Early in the morning, I personally "invited" Tang Sufan by Tang Sufan's bedside.

Because today is different, there are too many things and things to prepare on the last day of the year. Some people want Tang Sufan to make the decision, while others have to do it themselves.

Wenber looked at his young master who was still confused and sat in the living room with his hands together, like a silly son of a landlord's house.

A kind and kind smile.

"Young master, can you sleep again tomorrow? This morning, you have to burn incense and grilled rice to your wife so that your wife can have a spirit in the sky and bless you with peace next year~"

Tang Sufan, who was also wandering in the sky, looked at the sky outside.

I was a little amused, although it was about eight o'clock in the future now.

But it's quite uncomfortable for him to get up.

But few people know that generally speaking, the Lord will start at the Mao hour to celebrate the New Year.

It’s also a blessing that Bo Wen got up early to handle it, so this guy can sleep until now.

There is no way. Tang Sufan was still in the royal garden Furong Garden yesterday, who was free and unruly and unruly.

I was struggling with some messy hair early this morning and dragging my body step by step.

I came to the back hall to burn incense and poured millet for my deceased father and mother.

Then listen to Wimber's arrangements for the day today.

Tang Sufan knew nothing, so he nodded repeatedly and said yes.

In the end, I only had a bitter and stiff face, so I simply accepted it and signaled to Bo Wen, please give me a message. I will cooperate with you today.

Then Wenber left with satisfaction.

For this year, Tang Sufan was granted the title of Marquis. Although it took a few days, his identity and specifications would definitely not be the same as ordinary people.

So these days, Wimberton was almost busy and didn't touch the ground. All kinds of things were blocked by Wimberton alone.

But I was also busy and happy. My young master was granted the title of marquis, which was a great joy.

Now, no one outside can call Mr. Wen respectfully when he sees him, a lame old man.

However, these Wimbers had long been indifferent to the fact that as long as they could take good care of the young master, they would not let down the master’s wife’s explanation to him back then...

Finally, the sun rises.

Su Meiyu brought everyone from Xiaoyaoxuan Tavern, and the other family of Xiong Daxiong who is now moving to Jinghe Village to live.

Get busy in Tang Sufan's yard.

This is what Tang Sufan meant. After Xiaoyaoxuan finished his work this morning, everyone was without parents, so let’s celebrate the New Year together.

This also made Xiaoyaoxuan and the others so happy that they couldn't help but burst into tears.

On this New Year's Day, in order to match the market, Tang Sufan simply decided not to open the door and sell New Year's Day wine directly.

One jar and one bucket, one bucket, ten thousand wines, a hundred jars are all, and this festival is only one day.

With Xiaoyaoxuan's reputation now, after releasing the news, he bought a piece of it almost as soon as the East City opened.

So another thousand guan was earned.

Tang Sufan waved his hand again and asked Xiong Daxiong Er to go directly to the West Market to pull thirty sheep!

The current price and purchasing power are about 1,200 citations for a sheep and 1,500 citations for a donkey.

Thirty sheep also cost forty or fifty cents of money.

Forty or fifty taels of people, that is definitely a large number for ordinary people.

But Tang Sufan's current ability to make money is nothing.

As for the New Year, I’m just looking for a festive and lively look!

Ten sheep were sent to Sijiao Mountain and let the people there cook them well in the porridge today and see some meat.

On New Year’s Eve, I also hope that everyone can have a bowl of hot porridge and rice to celebrate the New Year.

And the remaining twenty heads were left, two of them were left, and eighteen were left to the village.

This made the entire Jinghe Village happy.

In order to join in the fun, the village chief waved his hand and came out to kill the sheep with a knife. We will have lunch together tonight for the New Year!

He even invited Tang Sufan out. Since that's the case, let's do it.

Let's have lunch together for fun.

Therefore, at this time, the unfavorable disaster ceremony and the joyful atmosphere filled the entire Jinghe Village.

The entire Jinghe Village kept sighing that it was helped by the Su Fan family back then.

Now that Su Fan has grown up, become a noble person, and helps the entire village, everyone is full of gratitude.

The whole village owes Su Fan's family a favor~

Compared with the joy of Jinghe Village, the court meeting in Chang'an City and the palace...

Li Shimin was wearing a majestic and yellow dragon robe, and sat upright on the dragon throne with a majestic face.

After the important officials declared all the things in the court.

Then the Cui family and Zheng family immediately had an official background to advise.

"Your Majesty, I have a good reputation!"

Li Shimin raised his tiger's eyes slightly and said softly: "Come on!"

"Your Majesty has doubts about the title of marquis by the merchant Tang Sufan. Since the founding of his country, he has made a title for military merits. It is quite inappropriate for your Majesty to be a title for a merchant now. I think his merits are not worthy of his position..."

Then someone continued to agree.

"Yes, Your Majesty, how can you be a merchant? I don't know what contribution this person has made, and you can get your Majesty's residence to be appointed as a marquis."

"Your Majesty, how can this little merchant in Tang Sufan be ranked as a title? Please inform me!"

For a moment, the response continued, and the sound continued.

Most of them are officials of the Zheng and Cui families, while Zheng Yunhe is steadily unspeakable.

In their hearts, if the emperor has made great contributions for his true achievements, he will definitely announce it in the court to report on his contributions.

But the emperor secretly declares the secret and directly entrusts the imperial edict, which is definitely not true.

When Li Shimin heard this, he kept making a continuous repetition and a casual reel curl of the corner of his mouth.

Then he said with a calm expression: "Just rely on him, he saved the names of countless soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked!

Even the generals of Li Jing and his group were suddenly stunned.

Why is this related to the soldiers?

Finally, Li Shimin, who was planning to leave early, gave a look to the first arrangement and his brother-in-law.

Changsun Wuji smiled and then went out of the hall.

The important minister was puzzled, what did Changsun Wuji interfere with His Majesty?

Just after everyone was surprised for a while, Changsun Wuji brought a few people back.
