Chapter 323
In winter, what Wei Renshi likes to do the most is to find a stall in the market in Weinan, and eat some food that can easily recall the days in later generations, while watching the crowds and traveling around.
Wei Renshi always felt a sense of alienation in his heart for the Tang Dynasty, and only in this scene that looked like a snack street in later generations would he feel a little comfort in his trance.
Most of the vendors in the market are from Wei Renshi's farmhouses, and this proportion is nearly 90%.
At present, there are already some vendors with great vision who want to join the Weinan Market, but there is no place anymore. But there is another bank of the Wei River and it can be opened into a market, but Wei Renshi does not intend to do this at the moment. Blindly expanding the scale is a very dangerous thing.
The vendors at the market were the happiest. The money they earned from the Weinan market every day was something they never dared to think about in the past.
The management fee they need to pay to the market and the stall rental fee they pay to Wei Renshi account for only a very small part. Compared with their own income, it is really inconspicuous, so these people thank Wei Renshi even more.
Therefore, as the end of the year, they took out the things they had at home and gave them to Wei Renshi's house. In fact, they were all things that were not unusual for Wei Renshi's house, but in the end they were a kind heart and a good intention, so Boss Shi had to take them away.
"It won't be possible if you don't accept it." Boss Shi smiled at Wei Ren and said, "Xiaolang doesn't understand these people. These things are all they lacked before. Now, because Xiaolang is rich, he wants to make up for what he lacks in the past. In their eyes, these things are the best things. I sent them to Xiaolang to thank Xiaolang for their support. How could they not know that Xiaolang doesn't owe these things? It is to express this kind of wish. If we force ourselves to accept them, they will inevitably think that our family is looking down on me, but they will accept them openly, which will make them happy. They will be more united with Xiaolang in the future."
Wei Renshi shook his head: "How can I not know this? I just think they have lived a better life and don't have to send it here in big and small baskets."
The family has already started preparing things for the New Year, but it seems that it is still one month away, Wei Renshi feels it is a bit early, but on the other hand, he also thinks that doing this is quite New Year-like.
Later generations didn’t like the New Year. They had too many things to do and worked hard for half a year. They wanted to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to rest, but sometimes the Spring Festival holiday was even more tiring than going to work.
In fact, during the Chinese New Year, it should be lively and there will be an atmosphere. Just don’t let yourself do anything. As long as you don’t let yourself be troubled and can be lively and lively, that’s a good year.
This idea will naturally not be realized in later generations. However, at present, a large number of servants in Wei Renshi's family have arranged everything in an orderly manner under the command of Boss Shi. Wei Renshi doesn't have to worry about it at all, which has realized his long-cherished wish.
People are lazy and have the desire to enjoy. If they can satisfy their desire to enjoy while satisfying their laziness, they will naturally feel satisfied.
Time passed slowly, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
We went to the Youjinwu Guard to transfer to the last trip before the New Year, and announced that during the New Year, the soldiers did not need to train and celebrate the New Year in the military camp. Let the canteen prepare the New Year meals, so that the soldiers can make up for some regrets of not being able to go home during the New Year.
Afterwards, Wei Renshi returned home anxiously.
When I went back to my house, my servants at home had already started picking the old peach talismans from last year.
Looking at the new peach talisman that was hung up, there were only four words alone on it, with "Shen Tu" written on the left and "Yulei" written on the right.
Not good-looking, not festive enough!
Wei Renshi shook his head. Although the peach wood is red and looks high-end, where is the red paper eye-catching and looks red and festive?
"Gou Er Ge, go, let's cut red paper according to the length, width and width of these peach talismans at home, big red paper! Also cut out some such large ones... Forget it, I'll just tell myself." Wei Renshi turned around and explained to Gou Er.
The Spring Festival customs developed from peach talismans were all hanging peach talismans before the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Song Dynasty that red paper was used instead of peach wood boards.
Wei Renshi took Gou Er to ask his servants to find the red paper at home. Wei Renshi explained to his servants, such as couplets, horizontal banners, door frames, squares, etc.
Although everyone didn't understand what their young master was doing, since the young master had ordered, he had to do it well and immediately cut the paper according to Wei Renshi's instructions.
It’s fast to do things with more people. Although there are many places to post in the mansion, fortunately, there were peach talismans before, and the ready-made sizes did not take much time to cut them.
After cutting the red paper, Wei Renshi got into the study, spread out a few pieces of paper, and began to recall the many Spring Festival couplets he had recited.
I remember that in later generations, every winter vacation was held, basically every school would have a winter vacation homework that must be assigned and excerpted Spring Festival couplets.
Wei Renshi still remembers that each student had to excerpt fifty Spring Festival couplets, and after school started, he handed them over to the Chinese language teacher. From the time he was a student, it continued to be a Chinese language teacher, from the time he was excerpted Spring Festival couplets to the time he received the Spring Festival couplets excerpted by the students.
Every time the winter vacation starts, the Chinese teachers in the office will look through the Spring Festival couplets collected by their students. When they meet the good ones, they will recite them in the office and share them. I have really seen a lot and remembered a lot.
The content of Spring Festival couplets is different from poetry. It not only requires neat parallelism like poetry, but also requires joy and beautiful vision. It didn't take long to write a lot of them, and some of them were picked out for later writing.
Soon, the servant had already brought the cut red paper.
Wei Renshi called Gou Er to help, spread the red paper, then took the pen and dipped it ink, and wrote the Spring Festival couplets he had just selected.
"I welcome Yuqing in the New Year, and the Jia Festival is Changchun." Wei Renshi recited it as Li Chun finished writing: "Okay, this pair is posted on the door!"
Wei Renshi was secretly happy. This sentence was the earliest Spring Festival couplet recorded in history. No matter whether he is good or not, he will take it first. Hahahahahahaha!…
Wei Renshi, the name written by Li Chun, couldn't be described as a trick. He only looked beautiful but not lacked in temperament, and was very beautiful.
The more I read it, the happier I feel. After posting it, this is the only one in Chang'an City!
Maybe after this year, history will change. More than a thousand years later, my former colleagues in the school told the students about the history of posting Spring Festival couplets during the New Year. It should be said that more than a thousand three hundred years ago, Hou Wei Renshi of Jingyang County, the Tang Dynasty, was the first to post Spring Festival couplets. Haha, it’s funny to think about it!
