Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 181
The fireworks aroused Mr. Cheng's childlike innocence. A pot of gunpowder was emptied overnight, and Cheng Huaimo was sent to get it the next day. The next few days were like seven golden talismans that reminded people of life, making people restless.Cheng Yaojin is like the ultimate big boss in online games, he cannot be shaken by his own strength alone, he just needs to twist it lightly, and he can wipe people out, it is very terrifying.If you want to defeat this ultimate big boss, the only way is to form a team to PK, and it will cost the lives of countless teammates. Unfortunately, Jinyu has no teammates who are willing to complete this difficult task.So when Cheng Yaojin said it was a disappointment, Jin Yu had nothing to do, Jin Yu knew very well in his heart, he had nothing to say to Cheng Yaojing, Jin Yu had no choice but to blame himself for his miserable life, but he had no other choice.

Some book friends may also say that fireworks can be promoted as "signals" in the military, but this is very unrealistic. Firstly, the fire is not bright enough, and secondly, it is inconvenient.So even Cheng Yaojin only regards fireworks as a kind of entertainment.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, people gave New Year's gifts before the beginning of the year, instead of visiting relatives and friends on the first day of the new year like later generations.Yang Ying organized all the congratulatory gifts needed by the relatives and friends of the Jin family in an orderly manner, and then sent housekeepers and stewards to deliver them one by one, which did not take up Jin Yu's time.Jin Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the ancients were true, as long as the congratulatory gift is solid, it doesn't matter if your rightful owner arrives?It just happened to save the annoying staggering, Jin Yu was very happy.

Chinese New Year is approaching, and there is another job that must be done-cutting window grilles.Yang Ying's workmanship was good, and she didn't give Jin Yu the chance to show off, and the two of them had a great time at night.

These days, the Chinese New Year is not called Chinese New Year, it is called "New Year's Day" (there is an essential difference with the New Year's Day in later generations, so don't confuse it), and there is a rule of "night watch" on New Year's Day, that is, you don't sleep on the night of the New Year's Eve, and light it at night. The lamp cannot be blown out until the watchman has reported the fifth watch.

After dinner, Yang Ying killed the door bar early, saying that tonight she would be in the house to eat and drink, and she couldn't let people out all night, otherwise it would break if dirty things came in.Although Jin Yu doesn't believe in this, it's better to follow the ancestral system, so as to save others from chewing their tongues.

The two played as much as they could, it was only early in the morning, and it was very boring.Seeing Yang Ying yawning continuously, Jin Yu was a little bit worried, so he suggested: "Madam, why don't we turn on the lamp and take a nap with our clothes?"

Yang Ying yawned again and shook her head resolutely, "No, God will blame you if you break the rules."

"Then what should we do? Or we will fall asleep sooner or later." Jin Yu spread his hands helplessly. This is telling the truth. In the dead of night, people tend to doze off easily. Even if they are sitting, their heads will nod. You will fall asleep before you know it.

"Husband, what time is it?" Yang Ying asked with her sleepy eyes open.

"Is it ugly time?" Jin Yu glanced at his watch, it was one o'clock in the morning, wouldn't it be ugly time in conversion?

"Then it's time to put window grilles on." Yang Ying rubbed her eyes and pulled herself together.

Jin Yu nodded, as long as he can do something, otherwise he might really fall asleep.It seems that the ancients had already prepared various tasks for themselves in order to prevent falling asleep in the middle of the night.If you put up window grilles again the next morning, you will be accused of being a "lazy lady". Even if your husband asks your wife to cooperate in something, the infamy will eventually fall on the woman, which is very unfair.

It's really hard to see clearly at night, and the window grilles are difficult to stick.Yang Ying said that this was to test the handicraft of the unmarried girls. If she could make the window grilles beautifully under the light like beans, she must be a girl with ingenuity.On the contrary, she will be looked down upon by others. As a woman, if she can't even put up a window grille, she can't do anything well.Jin Yu is skeptical about this statement. Is it necessary to have any connection with "Ripples" and "Like Walking on Plains"?Those who believe in this statement are melon seeds.Jin Yu can only say that in a difficult environment, the ancients would come up with some weird ways to toss themselves.

Jin Yu has a flashlight, and he is not afraid of the dim light, so he covered the windows of the bedroom in a short time.The rest of the time fell into the strange cycle of "dozing off".

Yang Ying supported her little head with both hands, and murmured to Jin Yu: "Husband, please tell me a story, I really can't stand it anymore."

"Success." Jin Yu was also feeling idle, since Yang Ying had put on a lot of effort, and he had no reason to retreat as a gentleman. "For the sake of my husband, I will tell my wife a story about a princess."

Jin Yu cleared his throat, and with a magnetic voice, told the story that was very popular in later generations - the mermaid princess.

"She is the daughter of the sea king, the princess of the mermaid country. This country is different from ours. They have lived on the bottom of the sea for generations.``````"

Yang Ying slowly entered the state of listening to the story, her mood fluctuated with the progress of the story, and the sleepiness disappeared temporarily on her face.

The reason why the story of the mermaid princess can be widely circulated is because Andersen caught the reader's psychology, and Yang Ying, who is also a princess, listened to it with great interest.

When Jin Yu talked about Mermaid Country, when her daughter can float on the sea to watch the sea view when she is 15 years old, it already aroused Yang Ying's sympathy, as if she herself recalled her past.Living in a deep house, one would naturally look forward to the world beyond the high walls, but the mermaid princess is much luckier than Yang Ying.

The long story was edited and processed by Jin Yu, so Jin Yu dragged it on for more than two hours before finishing it.Yang Ying's expression changed according to her husband's words, her small hand sometimes grabbed Jin Yu's arm nervously, and sometimes wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes.

When Jin Yu told the whole story, Yang Ying also entered Jin Yu's arms from the opposite side of Jin Yu.Yang Ying buried her head deeply in Jin Yu's arms, unwilling to lift it up for a long time. "Husband, this is the best story this concubine has ever heard."

"Of course." Jin Yu was complacent. The reason why this story has endured for a long time is because of its classic nature. It is best used to deceive the tears of underage girls.Jin Yu moistened his throat with a sip of water. Such a long story was really physical work, and his throat was already dry and smoking.

"But the mermaid princess should invade the pig cage!" Yang Ying's soft voice seemed to hit Jin Yu's fragile heart with a large-scale forbidden spell, turning it into petrification instantly, and the surprised expression stayed on his face for five seconds.

"Why?" Jin Yu forced himself to twist his neck and lift Yang Ying's small face, and the two looked at each other.The reason why Yang Ying said this, Jin Yu felt that she must have her own reasons, he did not believe that his little lady was "beating the dog in the water".

"The princess is a cheap person. How can a woman's marriage be decided by herself? Which one is not 'the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker'? Besides, 'the body, hair and skin are subject to the parents', how can it be easily damaged?" Yang Ying spoke eloquently and expressed a standard evaluation of the story by the ancients.

"En." Jin Yu nodded, feeling that what Yang Ying said made sense.

"However, I also admire this mermaid princess very much. If I were a concubine, I would do such things for my husband, as long as I can see my husband's life with my own eyes." Yang Ying's tone was light, but What he heard was very heavy in Jin Yu's ears.How Yang Ying thinks about this story has already been said before, she represents the ancients, if Yang Ying does this, others will also give her a solution of "invading the pig cage". "Doing what you know you can't do" is at least on an equal footing with the mermaid princess, right?

"My lady, happy new year! Let's have a good time!" After hearing Yang Ying's confession, Jin Yu hugged Yang Ying tightly in his arms, as if he would lose it if he let go.If Yang Ying said now that she wanted to invade a pig cage, Jin Yu would carry it out to the letter, he was willing, who cares?

"Husband, I can't breathe anymore." Yang Ying also hugged Jin Yu tightly, but after a while, Yang Ying naughtily scratched Jin Yu's waist and said.

Jin Yu secretly wiped away his tears before releasing Yang Ying. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Yang Ying to see her crying?
When the two kissed me, there was a sound of beeping outside.In normal times, there are no watchmen in the countryside. Only during major festivals, the host family will assign someone to act as a watchman temporarily, so as to remind the residents to pay attention to the time and not miss the sacrifices and so on.

As soon as the watchman beat the clapper, a bonfire was lit in the front yard. Chen Rui threw the carefully selected "firecrackers" into the fire, and there was a faint "cracking" sound.The voice is not loud, so Jin Yu and Yang Ying can't hear it, but Yang Ying has passed several similar New Year's Days, so of course she knows what it means.

"Husband, the vigil is over, we can sleep for a while." Yang Ying stood up and stretched her waist. Under the cover of the cotton-padded clothes, she couldn't see her figure, but if the clothes were removed``````
"Oh? So fast? Shall we go to sleep first?" Jin Yu reached out and touched Yang Ying's small face, looking lustful.

Yang Ying just expressed her heart, but she didn't reject it in her heart, but her rationality told her that she couldn't agree, "Husband, I have to get up early tomorrow, and I need you to come forward to invite gods and worship ancestors."

"Ah? I still want to invite God? What kind of God?" Jin Yu asked in amazement. Later generations did not ask God to speak on the first day of the new year. Is it unique to this era?
"There are gods for everything, as long as our family has it, we will invite it." Yang Ying yawned a little, and regardless of Jin Yu's delay, she blew out the lights and began to undress.

"It's been a long time for the gods to celebrate the new year, so the lady won't let the gods sleep for a while? If they wake up the gods early in the morning, the gods probably won't be happy." Jin Yu copied from behind, very skillfully.

"Well``````The concubine is asleep and doesn't know anything``````"

"Lady sleeps with you, sleeps after busy work for husband, hehe."
