Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 457 It's Another Year's Dragon Boat Festival
Puchang wine, glutinous rice dumpling, and wormwood hanging over the door are in harmony.

The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is a day of peace in Datang.

The palace bestowed a bronze mirror on each of the ministers above rank five. It was said to be a bronze mirror cast by Yangzhou on Jiang Xinzhou, also known as the "Mirror of the Son of Heaven".

Bronze mirrors need to be sharpened after being used for a long time, so there is an old man who grinds mirrors in Liang Yusheng's novels.

It is just a name to say that the Tianzi Mirror was cast in the Dragon Boat Festival. It takes time to travel from Yangzhou to Chang'an City to pay tribute to the bronze mirror.

Fan Zheng has reason to suspect that the so-called "Jiang Xinzhou" may have been written by mistake or on purpose, and that "Jiang Xinzhou" is the real place where mirrors are cast.

Don't say that this is nonsense, in an era where fake characters are flying everywhere, it is still possible.

The emperor's spirit improved a lot, and he personally wrote the characters "Dragon", "Phoenix", "Butterfly", and "Ying" on the round fan, and distributed them to all the ministers.

Words such as dragon and phoenix are a little sensitive, so there is no problem with the emperor's personal bestowal.

The round fan that Fan Zheng got had the word "turtle" written on it in Feibai, which I couldn't see.

Of course, the tortoises of this era are really cursing people, vaguely wishing for a long life, "although the tortoise lives long".

There is another legend, which also elevates the status of the tortoise, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs will be the prime minister of the tortoise.

It's just that Fan Zheng feels a little overwhelmed.

The emperor also gave Fan Zheng a black tortoiseshell belt, and Tie Xiaozhuang had a black and silver belt, which can be regarded as different from civil and military.

This belt is not for tightening the waist of the trousers, it is a pure decoration, it is the belt on the portrait of the emperor and general with both hands, don't pretend to be someone pulling up trousers.

The local government sent splendid clothes to the emperor, and the emperor gave his ministers Xigexia clothes, each with the minister's name embroidered on it, Fan Zheng naturally had a share.

The emperor gave Xia clothes, and Du Fu also wrote a poem "Clothes on Dragon Boat Festival" with emotion.

"The palace clothes are also famous, and they are honored by the Dragon Boat Festival. The fine kudzu is soft in the wind, and the fragrance is light in the snow. It is wet from the sky, and it comes to clear when it is hot. The meaning is called long and short, and it is full of sacred love for life."

The tribute clothes of local officials are also Du Fu's "Farewell, Sending to Qing to be presented to the Dragon Boat Festival Royal Clothes" as evidence.

Fan Zheng also had to be bestowed by the emperor with two Baisuo, also known as Longevity Threads, which were tied to the wrists of the Fan Baili brothers.

Yuan Luan kindly gave Fan Baili and Fan Mingqian a pair of bright belly wraps, that is, bellybands, the style is a bit awkward, the toad is ugly, the eyes are one big and one small, and the mouth is crooked like a dragon king.

Fan Zheng laughed and said, "Ah Niang's female workers have made progress!"

Only its ugliness can prove that it is Yuan Luan's own handicraft.

Compared with the grand occasion of cutting out all the cloth banners in the past, the craftsmanship has really improved a lot.

Dragon Boat Festival embroidered toads or five poisons have the meaning of warding off evil spirits and exorcising poison.

From Fan Zheng's understanding, it is about fighting poison with poison?
Du Shengxia's aunt also brought over two wrapped stomachs. The toad embroidered by the family is the Lucky Toad. It is golden, with bright eyes, and it is cute.

Generally speaking, the belly wraps for the Dragon Boat Festival are given by grandma.

Excitedly, Fan Baili asked Lei Shisan to put the dough balls on the small table and carry them to the front of the Wutou gate. He held the small bow and the arrow without arrows, and opened the bow five steps away.

"Brother, I want to eat meat noodles!"

Fan Mingqian's saliva flowed out.

It's purely for fun, if you really want to put it all in front of him and let him eat it openly, he will soon lose interest.

With the different stuffing in the inner bag, the color of the string on the outside of the zong leaves is also slightly different.

Fan Baili loosened the string, and the small arrow hit a dough ball. Fan Mingqian smiled and rushed over to grab the dough ball, asking Lei Shisan to untie the string and open the rice dumpling leaves.

Fan Baili touched Fan Mingqian's belly: "Erlang, you can only eat this dough ball today. If you eat too much, you will be hungry, and then you will have to drink the painful medicinal soup."

The elder brother is full of style.

Fan Mingqian finished eating the dough in one gulp, and nodded with a smile.

For the baby, soup and medicine are too scary.

It is not only today that you can eat dough balls.

Fortunately, Fan Mingqian also eats a lot, and he will almost rest, unlike some greedy children, who obviously vomited after eating and stuffed food into their mouths.

"Lu Feijia, it's your turn."

Fan Baili handed out the small bow, and added: "There are still a lot of noodle balls in the house, don't be impatient, line up to shoot the noodle balls, each person can have at most two, and you can pick them up for my brother and sister."

There is no shortage of fans in any family, but this game method is very attractive to children.

As soon as Fan Baili established the rules, Wa'er and Sister Wazi immediately became more self-aware. A few children who tried to jump in line were even pointed at their noses by the hot-tempered Sister Wazi.

Before they grow up, babies are generally not as tough as their sisters of the same age, and there are even babies who are pressed and beaten by their sisters.

Wa'er and Meiwazi laughed together, starting from Wutoumen, the team slowly extended to the center of the square.

The women and men in the workshop had long been accustomed to the strangeness, and they only praised Fan Baili without saying a word.

"Geishilang inherits Shaoqing's atmosphere, thinks of his neighbors when he has good things, and doesn't eat alone."

It's not for this small gain, it's just to feel lucky for the children, and Fan Baili will take care of them in the future.

This time, you can see some clues in the powder balls.

Not surprisingly, the leader of the next generation of Dunhuafang must be Fan Baili.

Not to mention that Fan Baili still has official status.

The children were making noises, Fan Baili and Lu Feijia maintained order, and the atmosphere was generally harmonious, except that someone always shot wrongly, and others made fun of them.

Someone wanted to take two more, which immediately caused others to cast aside.

"Brother, I want jujube paste!"

"Brother, I want bean paste!"

Those children who were so immature that they couldn't draw their little bows shouted one after another.

Fan Zheng and Du Shengxia stood behind the Wutou Gate smiling, watching Fan Baili leading the children, big and small, in a dignified way, feeling very relieved.

"I have the style of my past." Fan Zheng boasted.

"You are more successful than you. Dalang conquered the neighbors with his prestige, but you conquered the neighbors with the jujube stick." Du Shengxia revealed.

Du Shengxia has been married to Dunhuafang for several years, and she knows Fan Zheng's embarrassing things clearly.

Fan Zheng laughed.

His magnanimity is not so small that he can compete with his own children to be jealous.

What is really happy is the friendship between the Fan Baili brothers, and I hope that in the future, they will not turn against each other because of their big family property.

Li Zhengyi brought his Dalang over and presented Fan Baili brothers with a round fan painted with a unicorn pattern.

The fan was embroidered by Mrs. Li Zhengyi.

His family's Dalang entered the Imperial College, and he will at least start out as a foreign official in the future.

Li Zhengyi's bad temper made enemies back then, probably no one would dare to make things difficult for Fan Zheng.

This step alone will determine the future achievements of his family Dalang.

As for reading, Li's is really not weak, he just focuses on miscellaneous learning.

"Thank you, master and mother!"

Fan Baili took the round fan and led Fan Mingqian to salute with his hands crossed.

Dalang is sensible, Erlang basically doesn't have to bother to teach, it's not unreasonable for an elder brother to be like a father.

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "I'm a little clever, and I know how to thank my wife."

Fan Baili grinned: "What Master said, you don't know how to work as a female worker!"

Uh, Fan Baili's words are somewhat absolute.

Leaving aside the matter of male tailors, in his previous life Fan Zheng had seen quite a few rough men who picked up sweater needles and made needles and needles flying, playing as well as a woman.

Not to mention those who step on sewing machines and hook sweaters professionally in fixed places.
