Supreme peasant girl to turn over

Chapter 665 New Year's Eve

Pei Xiaoyao pampered her head, didn't say anything, and obediently wrote couplets.

On this day, Pei Xiaoyao wrote couplets for a day, and Yang Fengxian cut the window grilles for a day, and the 28th of the twelfth lunar month passed like this.

On the second day, it was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which is a very important day.There is a rumor saying: "On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big offering."

There is a saying among disciples that dealing with the dead is like dealing with the living.Treating death as life is not only an important symbol of filial piety, but also a virtue of respecting and respecting the elderly.The Spring Festival is a big festival, and the ceremony of visiting the ancestors at the grave is extraordinarily solemn.

According to Cui Shi of the Han Dynasty's "Simin Yueling" records: "The new moon of the first month is the first month, and the wife and children are worshiped for the ancestors. And the day of worship, drinking wine and descending to the gods, is the family's honor and inferiority, no big and no Younger, the order is listed before the ancestors, and the sons, daughters, great-grandchildren each serve chili wine to the parents, saying that they are celebrating their birthdays, and they are happy."

Therefore, it is said that ancestors are worshiped on this day, ranging from royal nobles to ordinary people.And Yang Fengxian is now a person who has received the imperial jade certificate, so he can naturally be regarded as a member of the royal family.

So early in the morning, the palace sent someone to pick up Yang Fengxian and Pei Xiaoyao, and because Youyou was too young, Yang Fengxian didn't want to take him to such a place, so he asked Zhou to take him and wait on him with Li Yun.

The royal mausoleums are all in the underground palace, and sacrifices are naturally not allowed to go to the underground palace, and there is a Taimiao in the imperial palace dedicated to enshrining tablets, which is used for sacrifices.

Before the sacrifice, the emperor had to change into the most solemn court clothes, and because the Supreme Emperor Yuan Jingdi had not died, so he had a banquet with Gu Qingyan.Before the sacrificial ceremony began, people arranged a square formation to invite the gods. During the sacrificial ceremony, only such ritual and musical figures and members of the royal family could enter, which can be regarded as a very large-scale sacrificial ceremony.

After an hour-long sacrifice, it was finally over safely. Yang Fengxian moved her ankles calmly, feeling that she was almost unable to stand.

Then Pei Xiaoyao quietly leaned against her to let her relax, and Gu Qingyan glanced at her, but didn't say anything.Instead, it solemnly announced the end of the sacrifice.

The members of the royal family filed out, and Yang Fengxian took this opportunity to retreat and returned to Princess Jiahui's mansion.

In the morning, Yang Jiaxiao and others also worshiped the ancestors. Yang Fengxian and Pei Xiaoyao didn't have time to join in, so they had to wait until they came back to worship three times. This day's task was only half completed.

After worshiping the ancestors, it is necessary to burn incense.The day before New Year's Eve is called "Little New Year's Eve". The family has a banquet, and people come and go to visit, which is also called "Bie Sui".Burning incense outdoors is called "Tianxiang", and it usually takes three days to burn out.

When the 29th of the twelfth lunar month quietly passes by, it will be New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is also called New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve refers to the evening of the last day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar every year. It is connected end to end with the first day of the first lunar month. The word "Chu" in "New Year's Eve" means "to go; Xi: Alternate". New Year's Eve means "the end of the month and the end of the year". .Therefore, the activities during this period are centered around getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, eliminating disasters and praying for good fortune.

On this day, the New Year pictures and window grilles that Gu Qingyan had rewarded before, as well as the couplets written by Pei Xiaoyao and the window grilles cut by Yang Fengxian himself, were all pasted up.And on this day, everyone will stay up all night watching the new year.

Shou Sui, commonly known as "boil the year".Shousui begins with the New Year's Eve dinner, which should be eaten slowly, with people sitting at the table when the lanterns are lit, and some people have to eat until late at night.

Keeping the year old on New Year's Eve is one of the most important annual activities. The custom of keeping the year old has a long history.The earliest record can be found in "Feng Tu Zhi" in the Zhou Dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty: on New Year's Eve, each person gives gifts to each other, which is called "feeding the year"; "Shou Sui"; everyone stays up all night, waiting for dawn, which is called "Shou Sui".

And on this day, Yang Fengxian asked the cook at home to prepare in advance, cooked a large table of dishes, and distributed benefits to the people below, allowing them to go home and celebrate the New Year with their families after finishing what they should do in advance.

However, orphans like Qingwen who are fatherless and motherless can only stay by Yang Fengxian's side, and many people in Anbu are like this. After Yang Fengxian knew about it, he organized them together , having a lively New Year’s Eve dinner, and everyone watching the new year together.

And in the warm house, Li Yun looked at the neat and tidy family in front of him, and couldn't help wiping away tears. This year has experienced so much, her daughter became a princess, her daughter and son-in-law disappeared one after another, her daughter After passing through the gate of hell, Yoyo was born, the eldest brother Yang Quanxi had a fiancée, and Yang Quanfu became the number one scholar in civil and military affairs. All of this was like a dream.

If it was said that relying on Yang Fengxian to earn a lot of money before made her live a worry-free life, it was acceptable at that time, but this year's life was really beyond her imagination.

Seeing Li Yun like this, Yang Fengxian hurriedly said: "Mother, you are celebrating Chinese New Year, why are you crying, wipe your tears quickly."

Li Yun took the handkerchief from her hand and waited for a while before saying, "Mother is happy, happy! The most important thing about this family is that they are neat and healthy!"

Yang Jiaxiao echoed: "That's the truth, Feng girl, you have many ideas, but even if you want to do something, you must ensure your own safety. There are many days this year, and your mother and I live in fear. , we are getting older, this heart, if you do it again, it will be broken."

Yang Fengxian said quickly: "It's my fault, I made my parents worry, and it won't happen in the future." She glanced at Pei Xiaoyao.Pei Xiaoyao continued: "The world is at peace now, and I think the war will end soon. I have already resigned from the emperor. After the New Year, we can pack up and go back to Taoyuan Village."

When the words came out, everyone was very surprised. Yang Quanxi said, "Going back to Taoyuan Village? Why is it so sudden?" He was very happy at first, but after thinking about it later, the career he likes and the people he loves are all in the capital. , if you really go back to Taoyuan Village, then it’s not certain when you will see him again. Besides, Princess Furong is one of the four beauties in the world. It’s impossible for no one to like him. Someone will bully his Meier.

Before leaving, Yang Quanxi worried about such things.

It doesn't matter to Yang Cuiju, whether she is in the capital or other places, she will help Yang Fengxian take care of the business, which allows her to find the meaning of her own existence and her own value.But having a job that she worked hard for made Yang Cuiju get rid of her previous doormat posture and become more confident and powerful. This is one of the reasons why Yang Cuiju didn't want to give up.
