    Liu Luogu left, leaving behind the box of pearls but also many doubts.  An Lushan¡¯s Hu¡¯er is definitely a smart man. His actions must have his own meaning, but Ye Chang couldn¡¯t guess what he was thinking.  He didn¡¯t know that An Lushan was originally coming to Chang¡¯an via Xiuwuguan Road this time. If he hadn¡¯t seen Chong Niang here, he would have suffered a lot and might even have lost his life.  But after An Lushan discovered that he had a very close connection with the palace, he changed his mind.  Being arrogant in front of the insect mother is just a pretense, the purpose is to show off to Li Longji, but for Ye Chang, since he cannot be killed silently, the best way is to bribe him.  "If you can't guess, then you can't guess. Ye Chang will put this matter aside for the time being. He still has to deal with Chong Niang, a cunning and weird little girl.  Chong Niang stayed in Wolong Valley for two days, and she took a lot of things with her when she left: the method of making a fire kang, and the method of making honeycomb briquettes.  Ms. Fang has strong opinions on this. She feels that these things can make a lot of money. If she takes it into her own hands and sends a steward to open shops in Chang'an City and Luoyang City, each item can make people rich enough to rival the country.  .  Ye Chang laughed it off. After being annoyed by what she said, he said, "You can't make endless money. If you don't let others make money, we are the only ones who are rich. We will be the target of public criticism." After sending Chong Niang away, he  Less than ten days later, it was the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty.  On New Year's Eve, Ye Chang, together with Xiang'er, Chunming and others, began to post Spring Festival couplets, door gods and New Year pictures - in this era, there were only peach charms, and door gods had only just begun to become popular.  "Mr. Lang, why do you let the portraits of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei be posted in front of our gate?" "Well, that's because it is said that Liu Bei, the First Lord of Shu, sacrificed his life for many evil spirits after the Battle of Chibi. He can't sleep at night.  When Liu Bei heard about this, his two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei guarded the door with weapons, so that the evil spirits did not dare to approach. Later, Liu Bei asked a painter to paint the portraits of Guan and Zhang on the door, which actually deterred the evil spirits.  Ghost" When Xiang'er asked this question, Ye Changxin made nonsense. The original story was supposed to be that after Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao guarded the gate. But now is the Tang Dynasty, and Ye Chang is still afraid of the descendants of these protagonists.  Coming to look for trouble, they attached themselves to Liu Bei and others.  "I see, with the two generals Guan and Zhang, we won't be afraid in Wolong Valley But I think Zhao Yun is the most powerful. You told us about the battle of Changbanpo last time. Nunu felt that Zhao Yun was the most powerful, Lang.  Jun is like Zhao Yun, and Chunming is Adou who cannot be helped up. His head was smashed and he will be stupid from now on. " Ye Chang laughed. Chunming was really shot while lying down. His temperament was a bit dull and slow, especially.  In terms of study, he is the worst among the children studying in the valley now. Not to mention compared to Xiang'er and Ci Nu, even the six children Ye Chang brought from Chang'an have now surpassed him.  "But Chunming is not really stupid. He is very smart when it comes to running errands and helping, especially when it comes to housework, and he can be taught it easily.  Sometimes Ye Chang also sighed secretly, this boy was born to be a manager.  "What program have you prepared for tonight?" Ye Chang asked.  "If you don't tell Lang Jun now, Lang Jun will know it later." Xiang'er wanted to keep it a secret from him.  The New Year¡¯s Eve in Wolong Valley was extremely lively, and Ye Chang played a lot of tricks. He himself prepared six riddles for the Spring Festival, and anyone who could guess them correctly received a prize.  The rest of the people, old and young, each prepared a performance, including a cappella singing and Hu Xuan dance. Each performer received a souvenir.  Naturally, just like the people of the Tang Dynasty at this time, they would light a fire called "Ting Liao" in the courtyard. Used brooms and other used brooms at home were thrown into the fire before midnight. It is said that it can "make people happy".  "People's warehouses are not empty", and the worn-out shoes at home have been buried in the yard for a long time. It is said that it will help to produce "the son of Yinshou".  Because of the large area here, many clan members, including Fang's mother and son, came here to watch the New Year's Eve together. When the child was born, the bells rang in the Shifang Temple in the distance, and the people watching the New Year's Eve stood up one after another and said good luck to each other.  The words are nothing more than "Blessings extend the new day, and longevity is boundless", "Blessings are renewed, life is extended," and so on. They bowed and bowed, and then everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.  Such joy and bustle allowed Ye Chang to experience the New Year¡¯s Eve of the Tang Dynasty.  The only thing that made Ye Chang feel a little uncomfortable was that there was no sound of firecrackers.  However, there is no substitute. When the rooster crows on the first day of the first lunar month, the family members and servants get up and put a large pile of green bamboo into the burning courtyard, and suddenly a crackling sound is heard.  In addition to setting off pure natural "firecrackers" in the courtyard, the family also set up long poles in various yards in the valley, with long cloth flags tied to the tops of the poles. These are the so-called "flaners", Ye Chang also said  I got up early and urged Xiang'er and others to read for a while, symbolizing that the year's plan was in full swing.Spring, and then heard someone calling him.  When he opened the door, he saw Ci Nu flying in, then stood firm, and bowed to him like a young adult: "My nephew Ci Nu, I wish my uncle a happy New Year." After saying that, he really bowed down, looking very formal.  He looks like a man of the house.  Ye Chang was very happy for this little nephew.  "Gi Nu, today my uncle has prepared a big red envelope of New Year's money for you, but it is not easy to get this New Year's money. I will test you on the debut question. When you solve it, you can take it." Ye Chang said.  As far as he knew, there was no such thing as giving out lucky money on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Tang Dynasty, and he set a new precedent.  "Uncle, please tell me." "Add from one to a hundred, what is the total?" Ye Chang said.  He had just finished asking the question when another noise was heard at the front door. Immediately afterwards, the younger generations of Wu Zepi's clan and children from various families rushed in one after another.  When there were more people, it became lively. Ye Chang happily let Chunming and others bring out candies and snacks for everyone to grab.  Several large plates of fruit were brought to the table, and the children of the younger generation were not polite. They went from house to house and kowtowed, not just for the delicious food.  What's more, Ye Chang never gets tired of eating. His snacks are the most exquisite and he doesn't skimp on sugar and salt, so everyone keeps their pockets full.  After the children dispersed, Xiang'er said with a smile: "They all know that our snacks are delicious, so they went to pay New Year's greetings to the patriarch and then came to our house together."  Here we come." Ye Chang smiled.  This is what happens during the Chinese New Year, it¡¯s only when it¡¯s lively that it¡¯s festive.  But there is no scattered sound of firecrackers, which is a bit unsightly after all.  Ye Chang guessed that no one would come for the time being, so he greeted Xiang'er and said, "No, they took a lot of food from us. We have to eat it back so that we don't suffer. Come on, let's go and pay New Year's greetings too!" "New Year's greetings!  But when it comes to kowtow, except for a few senior members, how many of our Wu Zepi families are worthy of kowtow?" Xiang'er disagreed.  "As long as I can receive food and kowtow, naturally you and Chun Ming will do it for me." "I knew it would be like this!" Xiang'er muttered, but she was also very happy to be able to go to another house to pay New Year greetings in exchange for food.  .  The children may not really want to eat, but the lively atmosphere is what they really want.  In this almost playful excitement, they learned Chinese etiquette and Chinese social interactions.  But as soon as Ye Chang and the others arrived at the door, they were stunned.  But it was Ye Zhi, whom Ye Chang wanted to call his uncle, who led a group of craftsmen and stopped in front of the door.  "You're just here to ask for wages, right?" Chunming muttered.  "That's nonsense. When will our husband default on his wages? He always says that it's not easy for migrant workers and he shouldn't default on his wages." Xiang'er glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Zhi and others are naturally not here to ask for wages.  They came to pay New Year's greetings.  In the past year, they have attracted a lot of business from Ye Chang. These more than ten craftsmen have also learned new skills from Ye Chang.  Wu Zepi's folk customs were relatively simple and simple. After benefiting from Ye Chang, everyone forgot about their age and came to pay Ye Chang a New Year's greeting early in the morning.  Of course, they didn¡¯t need to kowtow and salute. They all raised their hands and said auspicious words. Ye Chang was quite flattered.  Soon their attention was focused on the door gods and New Year paintings posted by Ye Chang. Among these craftsmen, some were literate and recognized the names of the characters in the paintings, especially the New Year paintings. Ye Chang referred to the comic strips of later generations and printed out  A complete story, although the painting is rough and the carving is not very good, everyone reads or listens to it and everyone enjoys it.  In this era, not to mention the common people at the bottom, even the scholars have too little cultural entertainment, so Ye Chang's football show became popular in Chang'an City.  Comic books are even better, suitable for all ages, which is why they are so attractive.  Not long after they dispersed, Ye Chang was preparing to go to pay New Year greetings to the clan leader, sister-in-law, and uncles from the same clan. However, he still had just arrived at the door, and dozens of people came together, but they were the families who benefited from the Hongqu Canal diversion water.  These people were all grateful to Ye Chang, and they all did not forget their roots, so they came first to wish Ye Chang New Year's greetings.  Wave after wave of people came to pay New Year's greetings, and they could see Ye Chang's influence in the local area.  In the morning, he couldn't go out at all. In the afternoon, people from neighboring villages who had offended Liu Fengyin came to pay New Year's greetings again - silently thanking him for bringing down the Liu family.  In this way, it was not until late in the evening that Ye Chang had time to meet the elders of each family.  By the second day, more people came to Wolong Valley. Many of the people who came yesterday went back and talked about the new thing New Year pictures. Many people, as long as they could get involved with Ye Chang in a roundabout way, came to see what was new.  After figuring out the purpose of everyone's visit, Ye Chang was a little bit dumbfounded: These New Year paintings are actually comic strips. He was preparing to put them on the market in the New Year, but he didn't expect that he would start them at home.??Advertising.  "No wonder Eleventh Lang said that this comic strip is suitable for both refined and popular tastes. Even illiterate people can read it with gusto. At first, I thought Eleventh Lang was talking nonsense, but now I know that it is really true." On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Chang  There were still people coming to see the Wolong Valley, so Ye Chang had to stick the New Year pictures on a wooden board and put them in a small pavilion at the entrance of the valley for people to watch. He only sent Cui Xiujing to watch.  Fang, who came to pay him New Year greetings, saw this scene and deliberately teased Ye Changdao.  "Sister-in-law, don't mention it. Many people have asked me for this New Year painting in the past few days. Some are bold and thick-skinned and want to tear the New Year painting away. For this reason, Cui Xiujing had a few quarrels with others, and I had to take the New Year painting away.  Send them all," Ye Chang complained.  "It turns out that Ye Shiyilang, who is full of cleverness and scheming, is also in trouble sometimes." Fang glanced at him with a half-smile, and his eyes were a little ambiguous: "Shiyilang, I will bring some women to see the New Year paintings in a few days.  Don't rush us into the pavilion. " "How dare I treat the people brought by my sister-in-law?" Ye Chang felt his mind wandering slightly, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: "But who does my sister-in-law bring?  Come?" "You'll know when the time comes. Make yourself more glamorous and don't lose your reputation." "Wait a minute!" Ye Chang felt that something was wrong with his sister-in-law's expression. He seemed familiar.  After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered: In another life, I was still unmarried, and those enthusiastic people who were eager to find matchmakers for me would look like this every time they arranged for me to go on a blind date!  "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to bring that girl from the Zhang family in the county?" "Don't worry, Shishilang, I'm not bringing that girl from the Zhang family here specifically." Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "Now that you have found me, you have to  There are not ten but eight families who are marrying the eleventh man. Naturally, I want to pick the best one. I have told them a long time ago that I will invite the girls from all the families to get together tomorrow. Then you just have to choose. Whoever you choose will be the one.  "Ye Chang was stunned: "Sister-in-law, don't do it!" "You can't do it. In the past, you could use three branches to deal with it, but now that you have returned us the second branch, I will naturally make the decision for you!" Fang  Shi said unceremoniously: "You are not young, you must have a wife in the house. Xiang'er is too young. If in another three to five years, you will do whatever you want to her, but now you are not allowed to touch her!"  The customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, so this was the background era for romantic stories such as "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Huo Xiaoyu".  Mrs. Fang thought that Ye Chang had already had sexual dreams, so she rushed to find a marriage for him, but Ye Chang really had no interest in this.  As for Xiang'er, he will still not be fifteen years old after three to five years, and Ye Chang feels that he is not a beast yet.  "Sister-in-law, let's not mention this matter for now. I have a higher outlook now. In Xiuwu County, I'm afraid"  The idea of ??the twenty-nine nobles!" Fang's eyes widened slightly: "I'm warning you, none of the daughters of the Li family are easy to mess with. They are mostly troubles. Don't make the mistake!" Ye Chang could only scratch his head, but  After a second thought, I had another idea: "Sister-in-law, in my dream last year, the immortal told me not to get married too early, otherwise there will be disaster" "Don't coax me with this, if it really happens.  Why haven't I told you about this before?" Fang saw through his trick at a glance: "Shiyi Lang, since your brother is not here, there are only two men in our group, you and Ci Nu.  "You're young, if you don't start your business as soon as possible, how can I see Weng Gu and your brother in person?" Ye Chang is really powerless. Well, as a master who has had 108 blind dates in another life, how can I face him?  It's hard to make girls happy, and there are always some ways to make girls hate you.
