Chapter 392: There is also an imperial edict during the New Year

The ancients were no different from the New Year in later generations. They were busy with the "New Year's Day" from the twelfth lunar month until the Yuanxiao period, and this year was over.

However, there were many rules among the Song people, among which sacrifices became the most important one. So on New Year's Eve, Chen Ao and his male members in their family first sacrificed the stove. The so-called sacrifices to the kitchen is to sacrifice to the Kitchen God. This god is not of high grade, but it is practical. If you want to live, you have to eat. It is not possible to have no stove. The sacrificial supplies are also simple, but they are just items such as wine lees, malt sugar, and sticky cakes. Chen Ao was stunned when he was fond of the stove. He asked him to really say something about the Kitchen God's blessing, but he didn't have to complain about it. After all, this is not an era where there are satellites on his head, so he should pay attention to the influence.

Then he had the New Year's Eve dinner with his family. According to the rules, the head of the family sat at a table and the other servants came to eat separately. Chen Ao didn't like this rule, and he was not afraid of doing anything shocking. He had to do whatever he wanted. Today he was afraid of this and tomorrow he would be taboo. That would be Chen Ao. So he made the decision and as long as there were no people in the mansion who returned to their hometown, everyone would sit together and have a good meal.

Chen Ao is used to being a person of his style. Anyway, he can always do things that others cannot imagine, but he is all right. This makes Chen Ao feel that being the head of the family is really good.

At midnight, Chen Ao was excited to set off firecrackers, and arrived at the mansion with flints and firecrackers. The three ladies covered their ears and watched. When the firecrackers sounded, Chen Ao jumped up and immediately chased after the three girls. The three girls were shocked and naturally covered their ears. Tao Zhiyaoyao.

On the first day of the New Year, the couplets were posted. Chen Ao's personal pen was naturally extraordinary. However, there was one thing that was difficult to teach Chen Ao. It is important to know that on the first day of the New Year, we should pay homage to our ancestors. Ordinary wealthy families would set up ancestral temples in their houses. However, Chen Ao was an orphan in his previous life. In this era, he was even more unreliable and had no ancestral temple. What kind of ancestors would be worshipped?

He had no choice but to fool him first, and found a plaque, wrote the spiritual position of Chen Ao's ancestors, and walked alone into a formality, and then he was relieved. He couldn't help but think: "I don't know who my ancestors are, but in the future I will want to have ancestors of millions of people. Cough cough... This is a bit difficult, but there is an old saying that is good? I have worked hard to live up to heaven, and this great cause of sowing and spreading the clan cannot be delayed."

I was confused and thought about it, and I was about to start paying New Year's greetings. The custom of New Year's greetings has been around for a long time. It was popular in the Han Dynasty. The ministers had to go to the palace to worship on the day of the first lunar month, and the king and his ministers would have fun together. However, in the Song Dynasty, New Year's greetings in the officialdom developed into a false etiquette, often "looking at the door to the door". Regardless of whether they recognize or not, they asked the servants to send the famous sect, say a few auspicious words, and fooled them. Therefore, this New Year's greetings have become a weapon for competition in the officialdom. Whoever gets more famous sects means that this person has a good status and a great reputation. If he gets fewer famous sects, most of these people are scattered officials in a cold yamen, and those who celebrate the New Year will be discredited.

Chen Ao felt a little weak. If there were fewer people to get the name, someone would ask tomorrow and would not be able to hold his face down. However, the more he was, he showed some freedom and freedom. He just urged his subordinates to submit to the name, colleagues, classmates, old friends, friends, and some accomplices. Which one to vote first and which one to vote for? There are rules for every sentence that the name came to the name, but Chen Ao cannot destroy it. Those who should be called the lower official are called the lower official, and those who should be called the backward official are called the backward official. If you are shameless, you can still be a late student. If your skin is thicker than the city wall, you can also claim to be a Mu En walks the dog.

These rules are just the beginning, the complex ones are still at the end, and the color of the post is also given in particular. For example, the subordinates give it to the superiors, and use a green bottom shell. The disciples first meet the teacher, and use red silk bottom shells to make them. These rules should not be messed up, otherwise they will read: You are so arrogant, you don’t stop and even come to spend the New Year. Do you still ask people to live?

Half a morning passed, Chen Ao pretended to be nothing, and was drinking tea with several wives in the back garden. Liu Sheng ran back and forth happily. The young master said that there were a few more famous priests. After a while, Chen Ao felt calm and was in a very refreshing mood. He bragged to Zhou Ruo with a smile: "I saw your husband's power, this is called socializing. Although your husband usually only deals with foreign merchants, he is still very happy in the court. Everyone likes your husband very much. The main reason is that his husband has good character. The so-called self-cultivation, family management, and governing the country. Whether it is a human or an official, self-cultivation is very important."

He slapped the bones and was secretly proud. In fact, he didn't know that apart from some accomplices, colleagues, and friends, a considerable number of officials who sent the sects regarded him as a plague god and could not afford to offend him. In order to save some trouble, the famous sect of the sects of the sects must not be saved. He would rather not go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to send him off than offend him. God knows what tricks this guy will play. Even a tycoon like Wang Zhichen is ready to die at any time. Looking in the mirror, his neck is really not as strong as Lord Wang's neck.

The famous thorns like snowflakes floated over like this. By noon, there were more than a thousand seals. As long as they were in the capital, there were really few who had the courage not to take him seriously.

Chen Ao was just proud of his kung fu, and Liu Sheng came again. His face looked a little strange. He held a big red nickname and said, "Young Master, look at this nickname."

Chen Ao was chewing the pastry and stood up immediately. After taking the Mingtao and turning it on, he looked like Cai Jing, and Mingtao only got a few words - Jun Wan'an.

This is just the most common word of the famous sage, but the information disclosed makes Chen Ao unable to guess. According to the truth, there is no friendship between him and Cai Jing. Could it be that Cai Jing wants to show kindness to him?

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out for a moment, so I ordered: "Please take a famous sect to Cai Mansion. How can Cai Jing write, we also write, he writes you Wan'an, and I will write you your blessing."

Liu Sheng responded and went to prepare immediately.

Chen Ao sat down again, Zhenzhen said, "Husband, what are Cai Jing doing to send a name to the sect? I have heard of him for a long time. This person is the most cunning and can understand people's hearts. If you have a rift with him, you must be careful."

Chen Ao suddenly realized and said, "I know why Cai Jing, the old thief, came to see the famous sect."

Tang Moer was also in deep thought just now, and smiled with her lips pursed and said, "Tell me, husband."

Chen Ao patted his forehead and said distressedly: "The old thief sent a famous thorn during the New Year. On the surface, he was full of etiquette, but he sincerely wanted to disgust me and made me unable to celebrate this good New Year. Think about it, if your political enemy sent a famous thorn during the New Year, no matter who it was, he would always feel a little bump in his heart and would not help but think about what this famous thorn means, and what metaphor is there? Will there be any conspiracy behind the famous thorn? Thinking of this, can this year continue? Old thief, old thief, this trick is really powerful. Getting a cheap thorn will disturb people's will, making people feel uneasy even during the New Year."

Tang Mo'er smiled sweetly, peeled the orange carefully, and said, "Not that great? Maybe someone just wants to do the best of his etiquette."

Chen Ao said seriously: "More's heart is so kind. He doesn't know the sinisterness of human hearts. Zhenzhen was right just now. Cai Jing's most proficient in understanding people's hearts. He can stand for decades and cannot be separated from his carefulness." He laughed and said: "So the way to resolve him is to ignore the stinger and let his husband spend the New Year with you."

Speaking of his pride, Tang Moer broke off a orange slice and gave it to him, Chen Ao stuffed it in one mouthful, and said whisperingly: "It's a pity that Chun'er is not here. She is alone in Hangzhou, so she always makes me feel worried."

Zhou Ruoer and Chuner have the best relationship, and they couldn't help but say, "Yes, I would have asked someone to take her back before the New Year, and I'll talk about the big things after the New Year."

He was busy until the afternoon, and all kinds of famous sects were piled up like mountains and had a lot of gains. Chen Ao was in a good mood. Just when he was proud, Liu Sheng came again and came to Chen Ao and said solemnly: "Young Master, my father-in-law has come to pass the imperial edict."

"Distribute the imperial edict during the New Year?" Chen Ao's mind was too turned around and thought to himself: "What's so important? Could it be a parade?" Chen Ao was full of doubts and took his family to the door. The middle door had been opened, and a table of incense tables and other things were placed. He looked at the father-in-law and bowed down reluctantly.

The father-in-law who sent the imperial edict said, "The commander said: The minister of Honglu Temple is arrogant. The Spring Festival is coming, and the whole world is celebrated together. I... As a minister... can you have the heart to repay the consequences..."

When Chen Ao's family heard this, the festive celebration of the New Year was poured into cold water. They understood this imperial edict. The emperor said that the Spring Festival was today and everyone celebrated together, so the emperor was very happy. This sentence was nothing, but after a change of the subject, he said that many ministers came to come to the congratulations. After reading a lot of auspicious words, he was even more overjoyed. However, although the emperor was very happy, he found that Chen Ao's congratulations had not been presented. I waited for it, but I was in vain.

In the end, I cursed. As a minister, you have ever had the desire to repay the emperor? You are a person with a bad moral character, and you are really hateful...

When everyone heard this, they became anxious. This imperial edict was really long. The length of the swearing alone took up more than a hundred words. According to the imperial edict, Chen Ao was really unforgivable and extremely bad. Many people had a thought and thought to themselves: It seems that Young Master Chou will never escape this great disaster, at least he will be exiled.

However, the eunuch's last words made everyone feel relieved. The emperor cursed almost all, and the final meaning was to go to the palace immediately and apologize to me.
