Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held on the day of the winter solstice. During the new year's festival, the other immortals to be sacrificed were the military and the sacrificial ceremonies. Before the Han Dynasty, there was no strict standard for what God should be sacrificed to. In addition to heaven and earth only the emperor can sacrifice, other gods are not too strict.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the regulations on sacrifice became more and more strict. There were many gods that only the royal family could offer sacrifices to. At the most, when sacrificing, the civil and military officials were dragged on for a collective sacrifice.

After taking part in the collective activities, the government's welfare will come down! From firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to all kinds of meat, they are distributed.

Just after taking the welfare of the imperial court home, Princess Pingyang also sent someone to send Xue Lang as a welfare for consultation --

clothes, shoes and socks, and festival expenses! Then there is a fat pig, a sheep, and a basket of fish and shrimp.

In this way, you just need to get some fresh vegetables from the hot spring villa, and you don't have to buy the rest.

Su Han looked at the fat pigs and sheep with bright eyes, rubbed his hands and asked, "Youyang, how should I take care of it? Just give me your orders

Xue Lang is not polite. He points out to Su Han several male servants to be assistants. He first slaughters the pigs and sheep, and then slaughters the chickens, ducks and fish. Burn the stove and set up the pot. Put the roast goose, duck and barbecued pork into the stove. Wash and scrape the pig's head and start to make marinade.

When Xue Lang got out of the sacrificial activities, the meat was ready. Take advantage of the hot food box, make people ride to the princess's house, Ma Sanbao's family, Su's family, the rest of the people I don't feel the friendship of sending food to each other during the Spring Festival.

The rest of the dishes are not much. There are only four people in the mansion who can be regarded as the master class. If you do more, even if there are two big stomach kings, Jiang Lin and Su Han, they can't finish eating. In order to make more patterns, Xue Lang specially explained that the weight could be less, but the variety should be more.

On New Year's Eve, four people gathered around a table to eat. On the big table, there were about 20 dishes full. Wine is hot, men all drink white wine, the only lady Su siniang drinks fruit wine made by Xue Lang.

Xue Lang raised his glass and said sincerely, "today is the festival, and tomorrow will be a new year. To tell you the truth, I don't like festivals very much in recent years, but this year, I have the interest of festivals again. Thank you a Lin, thank you Heng Yu, thank you sister-in-law. I'll do it for you first! "

Jiang Lin's eyes were red and he said, "elder brother, we should have been happy during the festival. Why do you say that you are so sad?"

Su Han also said, "ah Lin is right. If Youyang says something wrong, you should punish yourself with three cups."

Seeing that everyone was sad, Xue Lang said with a smile: "OK, it's me who said the wrong thing. Everything is in silence. Three cups are three cups! Drink

"Brother, I will accompany you!"

Jiang Lin is sincere. Su Han said helplessly: "ah Lin, you can drink with you now. How about after that? Will you let Youyang drink down the two of us

Jiang Lin is speechless. It is not to drink or not to drink.

Xue Lang smiles heartily: "today is happy, drinks everybody to be at will good. This year, there are only four of us. I hope more people will celebrate the festival together in the coming year. Especially if there is a child to celebrate the new year together, it will be even more noisy! "

Everyone here knows what Xue Lang means. Jiang Lin laughs foolishly. Su simiang blushes and covers her face directly with her sleeve.

While eating and chatting, Jiang Lin talked about how he used to celebrate the new year, and Su Han told him that he spent the Spring Festival with his master on the mountain. He ate his own game and mixed food. He was also very happy.

After dinner, of course, there is no spring festival party to watch. Xue Lang took out the red envelope that had been prepared for a long time, and began to issue new year's money -

first, he gave it to Jiang Lin and his wife: "here, this is the gift money from my elder brother!"

Jiang Lin was stunned and said: "elder brother, my younger brother has already grown up and become a relative. You should not receive lucky money again!"

Xue Lang said: "this year is the first time for us to celebrate the new year together. New Year's money is of great significance and must be collected! Heng Yu also has, first to a Lin and sister-in-law hair. Work hard and strive to add a nephew to me next year

Jiang Lin a listen, then candidly took over the red envelope, then also smile and nod: "we will work hard!"

"Oh, you are so...!"

Without saying that, Su simiang ran away with a blush on her face. Xue Lang laughs and Jiang Lin touches his head with a smile. They are really.

After sending Jiang Lin couple, Xue Lang took out another one and handed it to Su Han: "this is Heng Yu's!"

Su Han's eyes twinkled. Although his face was paralyzed, he could also see that he was not comfortable: "I have grown up and should not take it any more."

Xue Lang nodded with a smile: "I am the elder. You are young and unmarried. Naturally, you should give a red envelope. I hope that in the new year, you can get rid of being a bachelor. "

Su Han couldn't help but feel his head. He took it seriously and sincerely: "I should encourage you with your good words."

Sleeping trough! I feel my knee hurts!

Xue Lang helplessly white his one eye, pour is to tease the river Lin on one side.

They talked and laughed until midnight——Xue Lang rubbed his eyes and said, "happy new year, ah Lin, Heng Yu, happy New Year!"

"Big brother (Youyang) happy New Year!"

Then the three who could not endure went back to their rooms to sleep. Xue Lang had been sleeping until the sun went up. On the first day of the new year's day, a banquet was held in the palace, and Xue Lang wanted to attend the banquet.

After getting up and washing, he casually put on a bowl of millet porridge. With the joint efforts of lotus and wintersweet, he changed into a robe with large sleeves and a golden crown, and went into the palace to attend the spring feast held by the saints.

"Dalang, we have arrived at xiamaqiao. Please get off."

Changjian is respectfully reminding outside. Xue Lang jumped out of the carriage and asked them to wait. He walked into the palace on his own --

and so on! How come these officials who attend the banquet take their wives with them?!

Xue Lang had a bad feeling in his heart! Is it too late to go back now?

"You Yang!"

The sudden greeting sound stopped Xue Lang's impulse to run and turned to salute: "I've seen Li Gong!"

It was Li Gang who stopped Xue Lang. Xue Lang remembered that Li Gang's old wife had passed away, and he thought that he should not be accompanied by his wife. He turned around with joy and was about to open his mouth --

"happy new year to Xue Aowen!"

Sweet and crisp loli sound. Xue Lang bowed his head. Sure enough, Li Gang held a little Lori in his hand, which was his granddaughter in Chongyang.

Although small, Keren is also a girl and Li Gang's wife. Do you want to go back to swelling?

Xue Lang began to draw circles in his heart. He also had to smile and say hello to Xiao Luoli: "happy new year, Po!"

Ask xiaoluoli in good condition, Xue Lang asks Li Gang in a low voice: "dare to ask Li Gong, do you want to bring your wife to the Spring Festival banquet?"

Li Gang said with a smile: "the feast in the Spring Festival is for the saints to have fun with the officials. The imperial concubines and virtuous concubines in the palace will also participate in the banquet. The ministers can bring their wives."

It's over! The bad feeling came true -

Li Gang, who lost his wife, came with his granddaughter. Among a group of officials with their family members, Xue Lang, who was young and strong and attended the banquet alone, was as conspicuous as the morning star!

Again, is it too late to go back now?
