The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 277
The scene of the scene is the Fangdian Palace, and the magnificent Palace of the Year.

Cold resigns and winter snows, and warmth brings spring breeze.

Jie Fu Shu Mei Su, in a rosy candle.

Happy New Year's Eve together, welcome and send off a night.

——"Shou Sui" Li Shimin
……

"A new year is celebrated with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu. Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old talismans."

Every year on New Year's Eve, people in prefectures and counties around the Tang Dynasty hold New Year's Eve banquets, toasting to pass the tendons, singing and dancing until

The days are over.

On the New Year's Eve day, thousands of officials and musicians from Taichang Temple entered the palace, and at night they performed Nuo dances in the dormitory. Yuzhang, the fragrance smells for dozens of miles.In the palace, there is a big banquet, and the royal family members enter the palace to celebrate the festival. The courtiers should make poems and arrange rhetoric to praise the prosperity of the country and the people, and the prosperity of peace through singing and dancing.

Poems as proof:

On Ji Dong's New Year's Eve, the emperor's children and grandchildren hold a royal banquet.

Palace lords Xinghe blows the trees low, palace lamps and candles smoke the sky.

The rhythm of the strings is played by the plum wind, and the game is explored by the hook and the cypress wine.

If you want to sing a long life to Zhengyuan, stay for a while and send it to the spring.

……

On New Year's Eve, the common people get together with their families, have night chats around the stove, watch the new year all night, bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. "Two years old in one night, two days in five hours".

The custom of "beating the ashes and begging for one's wish" has been particularly prosperous in Chang'an in the past two years.People tie a brocade man with a thin rope, throw it into the mound, and then beat it with a stick to get rid of evil plagues and diseases, and pray for the fulfillment of wishes and good luck in the new year.

……

On the early morning of New Year's Eve, Huang Zhen personally ran to the Hongwen Hall, and carried Bai Fu, who was studying behind closed doors, back to the Bashu Guild Hall.

Bai Fu was reluctant to go back to the museum to watch the new year.

The reason is that Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xianyu Zhongtong is going to host a banquet in the Bashu Guild Hall tonight for the Bashu martial arts in Chang'an.Since Master Yang Guozhong was also present to give a speech, Huben Captain Ji Guangchen led all the generals of the Huben Army to join him.

This kind of occasion is bound to meet Yang Yichan on a narrow road, and Bai Fu feels uncomfortable, so he wants to avoid it deliberately.

Huang Zhen reprimanded: "It's the New Year's Eve, what are you doing here alone! It's not that you did something wrong. If you want to hide, she should be hiding!"

Bai Fu was silent, and said for a long time: "I know you're going to call me weak. Don't talk about you, I'll call myself unworthy. I used to tease others, and only when things happened to me did I realize how fragile I am.

No, I'm not weak, I'm cowardly!Not only did I dare not face her, I also didn't want to face the Bashu children who came to Chang'an together back then. "

Huang Zhen was about to criticize Bai Fu a few words, but seeing Bai Fu like this, he couldn't bear to provoke him any more.

Huang Zhen sighed and said: "You can hide for a day, but you can't hide for a lifetime! Don't think that everyone will laugh at you if you say something that is not pleasant, you think too much, and you take yourself too seriously! In fact, who the hell would care about the two of you Divide or cooperate! Everyone can't finish worrying about their own affairs.

Who really wants to be so careless, so what if they let him gossip?You won't lose an extra piece of meat either!You, if you want me to say, you scholars just read too much, save face, and be poor! "

Huang Zhen dragged and dragged Bai Fu back to the Bashu Guild Hall.The guys in the inn served tea and water, and served him warmly, which made Bai Fu feel embarrassed.

This afternoon, the guys worked together to draw tiger heads, calligraphy characters, and peach figures on the door, paste stove horses in front of the stove, drunken orders at the stove door, and send gods to dispel plague.Everyone was talking and laughing, busy and happy.Bai Fu was infected by everyone, and his mood gradually improved.Bai Fu was secretly grateful in his heart.

After chatting for a while, Bai Fu put on his apron, ran to the back kitchen, and helped Huang Zhen.Huang Zhen smiled, and thought to himself, it would be a good thing to distract Brother Fu, so he didn't stop him, and let Bai Fu busy at the stove.

……

At sunset, the hall is decorated with lights and festoons, people come and go, very lively.Shopkeeper Huang asked someone to open the door, and personally accompanied Mr. Xianyu Zhongtong, standing at the main entrance of the clubhouse, greeting the guests who were constantly flowing.

"Dancing clothes with arms brushed, sitting drunk and singing in chorus."

In the Bashu Guild Hall, there were staggered toasts and feasts.Accompanied by Xianyu Zhongtong, Yang Guozhong toasted and addressed the disciples of Bashu in Beijing and the generals of Huben, setting off wave after wave of banquets.

Since he still had to enter the palace to face the saint, after several rounds of toasting, Yang Guozhong hurried away with Xianyu Zhongtong.Without the presence of the chief, the Huben generals drank more happily, guessing with fists, and made a lot of noise.

The dishes were almost ready, Bai Fu cooked two small dishes for himself, got off the stove, took off his apron, walked to a secluded corner, poured a pot of soju, leaned against the railing, and drank by himself.

Looking at the bright fireworks in the night sky and listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers, Bai Fu was filled with emotions, feeling a little drunk in a trance, not knowing where he was.

……

"Brother Fu, are you hiding here? It was hard for me to find it!"

Bai Fu's eyes were drunk, and when he raised his head, Wang Huyi, the helm of Mianzhou branch of Chuanbang, sat down beside him with a jug in his hand.Along with them, Li Xinkai from Qingcheng and Liao Muye from the Qingniu sect also came.These few were all my best friends on the road to Shu when I came to Chang'an.

Not long after, Hu Shan'er, Zhong Yaya and others also came to the table.At this time, everyone drank a lot and blushed.A group of young people talked and laughed, recalling the interesting things that happened on the Shu road when they came to Chang'an, and laughed together.

Back then, the Emei faction did not go with the main force because of Li Xuexuan's injury, so Hu Shan'er heard many thrilling stories for the first time.She was delighted when she heard it, and she took the initiative to serve tea and wine, encouraging everyone to continue breaking the news, so that many past events continued to be revealed...

"What, Yi Fanglei from Dianyipai wrote you a love letter? This handsome guy is also in your pocket?"

Hu Shan'er winked and flirted with Zhong Yaya.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, he was just discussing martial arts with me. In Shushan Discussion of Swords, when I competed with Dian Meng, he stopped for a long time and saw a flaw in my white python whip technique." Zhong Yaya quickly explained.

Hu Shan'er was overjoyed, and said: "As for being so nervous? I didn't say anything! Children of the Jianghu, understand and understand!

By the way, next time you provoke me again, I will go to Yi Fanglei and ask if this flaw is still there? "

Zhong Yaya was so angry that she stretched out her hand like lightning to scratch Hu Shan'er's creaking nest through Li Xinkai who was sitting in the middle.The two were giggling and fighting together.

Li Xinkai pretended to be mysterious, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhong, let me reveal a secret to you. After discussing swords in Shushan, some people never forget Miss Hu, and when they talk in their sleep at night, they repeat her name repeatedly."

Zhong Yaya was not afraid of big things when watching the excitement, clapping her hands and laughing: "Who, who? Brother Li, don't be fooled, hurry up and listen!"

Hu Shan'er was also confused, her eyes were like torches, and she shot in all directions!
Upon hearing this, the male disciples looked at Wang Huyi together.Wang Huyi blushed, and hurriedly stopped at Hu Shan'er, saying: "Miss Hu, it's not what you think. We played a game at dinner that night - guess your name. I didn't guess your name, and I was punished with three drinks, so I couldn't forget it at night. .”

Hu Shan'er was both angry and happy, with her hips akimbo, she said angrily to Wang Huyi: "Hey, Wang Huyi! You are also a man of Shushan Lunjian. My lord, if you have a crush on it, you have a crush on it. There is nothing you dare to say! I'm not afraid, What are you afraid of!"

Hu Shan'er is aggressive and speaks quickly, making Wang Huyi's face very embarrassing.

Wang Huyi was in a hurry, and hurriedly argued: "I really don't have a crush on you! If you don't believe me, you can ask Yue Tianhua! He is the only one who has that kind of meaning for you!"

Wang Huyi stuttered, was at a loss, made mistakes in his busy schedule, and became more and more chaotic, laughing so that everyone leaned back and forth, and the flowers and branches trembled.

……

Liao Muye of the Qingniu faction took advantage of the strength of the wine, picked up the wine bowl, walked up to Zhong Yaya, and said, "Miss Zhong, I wish you happiness!"

Zhong Yaya's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Senior Brother Liao, I..."

Liao Muye smiled miserably, waved his hands, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.

……

Seeing everyone laughing and cursing, Bai Fu felt warm and moved in his heart.He knew that everyone tried different ways to comfort him.Even such an honest person as Wang Huyi did not forget to pretend to be ugly.

After coming to Chang'an, it was not easy for everyone, and they were all working hard for the future.We don't meet much, and the number of meetings is getting less and less.Except for Yang Yichan, these old friends rarely move around.Unexpectedly, I was alone, and these brothers were by my side!

Who doesn't have a youth that can't bear to look back, and it's not easy for every child who walks out of the mountains.If you can't let go, you will be ashamed of everyone.

Bai Fu raised his neck, drank several bowls, and praised:
"Good wine, good throat!"
