Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Li You was also stunned when he heard the words, and then he understood why Xiao Zhu looked strange... These customs should be common sense, so it seemed unnatural to ask him.

It's just that Li You really didn't know how the people of the Tang Dynasty were going to celebrate the New Year?

"Bring it to me."

Li You spread his hands and took over the immortal wood and peach talisman, only to see the two names "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" written on them respectively.

Legend has it that Shen Tu and Yu Lei are brothers. They can hold ghosts and live under the peach tree. Li You wants to come. the reason.

"This is probably one of the earliest door gods, right?"

Li You felt a little funny, especially Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Gong, the representative figures of the door god, who are still alive and well, which makes Li You have a subtle sense of absurdity.

……

"Since those two gods haven't become gods yet, it's not very useful to hang this. Besides, old comrade Qin Qiong always runs to the Chu palace. Isn't this effect better than hanging immortal wood and peach talisman?"

Thinking of this, Li You threw away the peach wood in his hand, seeing that Xiaozhu and Niu Xiaoer both twitched.

"Your Highness, this is too unlucky..." Xiao Zhu said weakly.

"If you want auspiciousness, let's hang the Spring Festival couplets directly!"

Li You waved his hand, but Xiao Zhu and Niu Xiaoer were blank.

"What are Spring Festival couplets?"

There is no habit of hanging Spring Festival couplets yet. According to legend, in the Five Dynasties period, Mengchang of Houshu wrote the inscription "Yuqing in the New Year, and the Jiajie is Changchun" on the peach symbol, and became the first couplet of Spring Festival couplets, and there are no Spring Festival couplets in the current Tang Dynasty. this kind of thing.

It's just that for Li You, the Spring Festival couplets that are posted outside every home are more intimate during the Chinese New Year in modern times.

"What are the Spring Festival couplets...you'll know when you see them." Li You smiled slightly, "Anyway, don't talk nonsense, just follow this king to hang the Spring Festival couplets!"

Even if there are no Spring Festival couplets yet, so what?

He, Li You, wants to create history and hang out the first Spring Festival couplets in human history!

Chapter 666 Smog is the Standard of the Capital

With the two who were still very confused, Li You directly found a dozen oversized rice paper dyed red and cut them into long strips.

Afterwards, Li You asked people to mix both gold paint and gold foil while grinding the ink. It can be said that the luxury level of this set of operations fully reflects Li You's financial resources.

After all this was done, Li Youcai took a deep breath and started writing on the Spring Festival couplet.

"What to write?"

Almost at the same time as he was thinking, Li You had already written, and soon the first Spring Festival couplets in human history appeared in front of Xiaozhu and Niu Xiaoer.

I saw the last couplet wrote: "Smooth sailing, two dragons playing with pearls, three sheep Kaitai, four seasons safe, five grains prosperous, six six great success"

The second couplet reads: "Seven stars are shining brightly, eight "eight six zeros" come from wealth, nine and nine are concentric, perfect and perfect, a hundred birds are in the direction of the phoenix, and a thousand auspiciousness gathers together"

The horizontal criticism is: "Vientiane is renewed, career is successful, like a duck to water, high-spirited"!

"Is this the Spring Festival couplet that His Highness said?"

Looking at the Spring Festival couplets that Li You wrote in one go, the first thing that caught the eyes of Xiaozhu and Niu Xiaoer was the extremely beautiful characters—they didn't know much about calligraphy, and they didn't understand the mystery, but they simply felt that His Royal Highness King Chu's words were written by him. The words are so pretty.

Li You didn't expect them to appreciate it, so he ordered someone to take the Spring Festival couplets, mixed some paste, and pasted them outside the gate of the Chu Palace.

This strange move suddenly attracted all the servants and guards of the Chu palace to gather and watch, they had never seen the Spring Festival couplets before.

"Is this a couplet written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

"If you don't tell me, I don't even think of it. His Royal Highness King Chu's pair is also number one in the world!"

"Yeah, do you still remember how badly that Tubo's Chikubi was beaten by His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Everyone's attention is mainly still on the action of sticking the couplet on the door, but Li You is satisfied with so many people who can appreciate it. I hope that this custom can be spread from him.

"His Royal Highness," only Niu Xiaoer asked Li You honestly after reading it, "What should I do with the original Immortal Wood and Peach Talisman?"

"How to deal with it... throw it away, why don't you ask?"

"Oh……"

Niu Xiaoer scratched his head embarrassingly, then turned around and recited the immortal wood and the talisman, intending to throw it out the door.

"Wait! What are you doing?!"

At this moment, a stern voice suddenly came from a distance, which startled Niu Xiaoer.

Niu Xiaoer followed the prestige, and suddenly his legs became weak.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...!"

Li You also looked over, and found that it was the strongest rice ball in history formed by Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and others. They came to the Chu Palace for an inexplicable number of times.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Li You instructing Niu Xiaoer to throw the immortal wood and the peach amulet out, and his face suddenly changed.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Shimin scolded, "I don't know if New Year's Eve is approaching, you can't throw garbage out? Otherwise, wouldn't it mean losing your family's property?"

Li You blinked his eyes and said, "Will you be afraid of your son's net worth?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Can we have a good chat?You won't feel comfortable if you don't worry, right? !
