Chapter 249: The First Year of Jianwen


Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers on the street, Xia Xun stepped on the red firecracker crumbs in the snow, smelled the smell of gunpowder, and returned to his rented hut.

The courtyard door was not locked, Xia Xun reached out and touched the courtyard door, and found that someone had come, and the mark he had made in advance was gone.

Xia Xun immediately pressed the knife tightly, turned sideways slightly, stretched out his hand to push the courtyard door, paused for a moment, and then flashed in.

"Ouch, Lord Yang, you're back."

A man in a green coat and a small hat nodded to him and smiled, under the eaves, he was holding a pair of small fists to his mouth and breathing, and the little girl who was stomping on the snow with two feet also turned around, cotton jackets, pleated skirts, light blue bikines, three buns of hair, black hair divided into two strands hanging on the shaved shoulders, a slender waist, plain face to the sky.

Clean, elegant, fresh and tender, such as the tea before the Ming Dynasty, the buds and leaves are delicate, the color is green and fragrant, the taste is mellow and beautiful, and it is still the best of a flag and a gun.

Xia Xun seems to see a tender bud stretching in the cup, up and down, gradually the soup is bright and green, the aroma is pleasant, the girl is like tea, this beautiful girl, like a cup of good tea before Ming.

"You're stupid, don't you recognize me, brother?"

The little girl smiled at him, deliberately accentuating the tone of the last word.

"Oh, ah, sister, uh, this is" Xia Xun let go of the handle of the knife and looked at the family in surprise.

Jia Ding said with a smile: "Sister Ling has to come back to celebrate the New Year with you, but the lord can't resist her, so he asked the little one to send Sister Ling over to the adult."

Our lord said, adults, you are alone, you might as well come to our house to celebrate the New Year together, but Ling Mei did not agree, said that when the New Year, since the night vigil of his own family, but also, yes, there are a few things, new clothes and new hats, are customized according to the adult's figure, and there are a few boxes of food, which our lord gave to the adult. ” "Ah, the staff is too polite, please thank the staff on my behalf, and wait for Ming'er, I will thank you in person when I go to pay New Year's greetings to the staff."

The family Ding smiled: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's a cold day, adults and brothers and sisters go back to the house to rest, don't be polite to the little one, the little one will go back." ” After sending the family out, Xia Xun rushed to Ming'er's side, put down a few things of food in his hand, and touched her little hands, which were cold, Xia Xun couldn't help but say: "Stay well in Xie Chuanzhong's house, what do you have to come over, look at you frozen." ” Ming'er's little face flushed, and she withdrew her hand from his hand very unnaturally, she thought she was a big girl, especially in the palace and was taught by female officials, and unconsciously began to have the awareness of male and female defense, but in Xia Xun's eyes, she was still the little girl who was wearing a snow-white fox fur and dressed like a rabbit baby.

Ming'er gave Xia Xun a pretty white eye, and said angrily: "What do you still say, just throw me away from other people's houses, you don't come to see me, and I can't go to you, I don't know what the situation is at the eldest sister's house, and it's inconvenient to go to find you, I'm busy, I don't take this opportunity to come out, when will I come out." ” Xia Xun smiled dryly: "This, first, I am indeed busy, and besides, I am also for your own good, anyway, you don't have to worry about eating and living there, if I often go to Xie's house and attract the attention of people who are interested, it will not expose the identity of the county lord."

"Cheng, Cheng, Cheng, you are always reasonable, you will know if I know you, this girl said that you can't do it, open the door quickly, I will freeze to death."

Xia Xun shook his head, hurriedly went over to open the door lock, pushed the door to let her in, and turned around to bring a few foods he bought and some New Year's goods from the Xie family into the house.

Ming'er looked curiously around the room, "Hey, can you light the lamp, it's too dark."

"Why is it so cold in your house, don't you have a brazier?"

"There is also a stove here, you are a big man, can you cook?"

Curious baby startled, see everything is rare, she asked the mouth, Xia Xun has skillfully used the iron hook to lift the lid of the stove, poked open the simmering coal, let the flames rush up, and hooked the bottom, with the embers of some cinders out and stuffed under the stove, pulled a few handfuls of crop straw to fill in, the flames also burned quickly under the stove, Xia Xun scooped a few scoops of water into the pot, covered the lid, all the actions are like flowing water, in one go.

"Wow, you're so good, you're so good, you can make a stove, make a fire and cook, you're so good, I won't" The red firelight reflected Ming'er's red face, and her wise eyes opened wide, full of admiration and amazement.

Xia Xun was speechless, since he knew her, he had shed blood, been injured, worked hard, had done so many big things, made her angry, and seen her moved, but he had never seen her so admired that she looked like an idol, isn't it just to make a stove and boil water, I can't understand, I really can't understand, there is a generation gap" Basically, that's it. ” "Sister and brother-in-law are so pitiful, you really won't help the emperor find their troubles" "Really."

"You're a good person, I didn't misread you" Ming'er was very grateful, she gratefully made a comment to Xia Xun, and then asked, "Is there anything to eat, I'm hungry." ” This sentence jumped a little big, Xia Xun was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Oh, it's a little bit of food, but it's all pickles and pickles, you take a bite first, Yanwangfu gave me a flying dragon, it's been cleaned up, I'll stew it and let you drink hot soup." ” Seeing Xia Xun open the paper bag, take out a big bird that has been packed up, open the lid of the pot and throw it into the steaming pot, Ming'er said in surprise: "That's it, it turns out that cooking is also very easy." ” Xia Xun smiled: "If you do something else, of course you can't, except for the flying dragon, this kind of bird, the meat is extremely delicious, when you stew the soup, you don't have to put anything, stew it well, the taste of the soup is naturally delicious, if you really put some oil, salt, onion and garlic or something, it will spoil its taste." ” "Oooh" Ming'er swallowed her saliva greedily, reluctantly watched Xia Xun cover the pot, sat down on the pony next to the stove, hugged her knees with her hands, looked at the red fire, and suddenly sighed.

Xia Xun put a few things of food into the dishes and put them on the table, listened to her sigh, glanced at her, and asked, "At a young age, what are you sighing?"

Ming'er put her chin on her knees, put her hands on her cheeks, curled up like a kitten, and said faintly: "I miss home, I remember the time when I celebrate the New Year at home, it is so lively, worship ancestors, sweep the court, congratulate you, paste Spring Festival couplets everywhere, relatives and friends come and go, when the New Year, firecrackers do not stop all night, the lights are bright all night, the back house is cockfighting, chess, pot throwing, juju, playing wine cards, playing horse hanging, playing double land, kicking shuttlecock from the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year, can not sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, I play in the yard, always stepping on thick firecracker crumbs, It's like stepping on the soft red carpet, many relatives, as well as three brothers-in-law's family, will send people back, my generation is big, the family will prepare many red envelopes for me, three big boxes, and then people keep coming to me to pay New Year's greetings, I will send out red envelopes one by one" Xia Xun sat down, looked at her silently, and listened silently.

Ming'er continued: "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, welcoming the god of the stove down to earth is another offering; On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the birth of the heavenly father, and it is necessary to burn incense and pray for blessings for the heavenly father.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is necessary to make three days of lanterns, guess lantern riddles, eat soup yuan, procrastinate, until the second dragon raises its head in February, this festival is officially over, so lively.

Alas" She raised her head lightly and asked Xia Xun faintly: "You say, will there be such a happy day?"

Xia Xun was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Every year is the New Year, how can there be not" Ming'er said: "I'm talking about my family, the second sister's family was detained in Shudi, the eldest sister's family is now uncertain, and the third sister's family doesn't know if they will follow in their footsteps in the future."

If the emperor cleans up my three sisters' houses, will he be wary of our Xu family's eldest brother's heart to the court, the second brother to keep to himself, and the third brother to fight for my sister and brother-in-law, I don't know who is right and who is wrong, I don't know who is reasonable, I can't help them, and I can only add to the chaos, so I can only hide here.

This year's Chinese New Year at home should be very different from last year, and next year."

Xia Xun coughed, cleared his throat, and said: "Let's eat something first, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the future may not be as pessimistic as you think." ” Ming'er sighed and said in a loud voice: "This year, the color of the flowers will change, and next year the flowers will bloom and who will see the pines and cypresses destroyed for salary, and even hear that the mulberry fields have become the sea."

The ancients did not recover the east of Luocheng, and today's people are still interested in falling flowers.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year."

Year is of vital significance to the Chinese people.

The poor who hide from debts will also do everything possible to go home during the New Year, and the murderers who are on the run will also risk being caught in the New Year.

On the first day of the first month, Jianwen was in the court, in order to pay tribute to the first emperor, and there was no music.

Immediately, worship heaven and earth in the southern suburbs, and lead the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials to the temple to worship.

Subsequently, he returned to the court and promulgated the first holy decree of the first year of Jianwen under His Royal Highness Jin Luan: Emperor Zhu Biao, the first crown prince of the emperor, was the emperor of Xiaokang, the temple name was Xingzong, and the Chang family was the queen of Xiaokang.

He named his brother Yunxi as the king of Wu, Yunxi as the king of Heng, and Yunxi as the king of Xu.

The emperor's eldest son, Wen Kui, was appointed as the crown prince.

The edict to the world, giving the people rice and meat silk for the elderly, widows, widows, lonely and sick officials as shepherds, revitalizing the poor and amnesty the world.

On the Golden Palace, Zhu Yunwen was full of ambition and confidence.
