Chapter 63 Meyer Mansion in the Song Dynasty

It looks like New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve of the Song Dynasty turned out to be a New Year's Day gift from relatives and friends before the Spring Festival. The gifts received in the king's house were actually placed in one or two rooms. Wang is very busy, but fortunately, there are also helpers under the month. Shen Kuo promised to deliver the medicine, and the wound on his face was better in a few days.

On the contrary, Wang's side is happier that there is no jade under the moon. Although sometimes there are some things that need to be explained, there is more fun between the two, and Wang side also seems to feel that it may not be comfortable to be seen through by others all the time. For example, he didn't dare to look at beautiful women before, but now he takes a peek occasionally, and Yuexia doesn't know either. Men, who doesn't have a little lust in his heart?

This is the first New Year of the Song Dynasty. Needless to say, it is not new. Before New Year's Eve, there is a new calendar of bidding for new calendars, such as door gods, peach charms, Zhong Kui, tiger heads and golden flowers, spring posts, Taosheng, etc., which are very prosperous. The above sales are all items of the Song Dynasty.

At present, New Year's Eve is in front of us; paper horses are printed with Zhong Kui, Cai Ma, Hui Ma, etc. are given to their customers; some send Cangshu, jujube, and epidemic elixir. It is full of exorcism and blessings.

Taoist priests and Taoist priests give fairy soup to the benefactor's family. The doctor also fed Tusu bags, tying four goldfish with five-colored threads, concentric knots or Pepsi knots, and sent to customers with various soups. People are suspended on their foreheads to ward off evil spirits. The market buys the spring flags made of tin, Pepsi Jihu'er, (I guess it's a couplet, hanging money and so on) in preparation for the New Year's Day hanging at the head of the door, which is a good omen for the new year.

The street and in front of the store are full of the sound of selling Cangshu and dates, as well as selling explosive sticks, fireworks and so on.

Wang side looked at everyone who was busy cleaning the inside and outside of the house, pasting door gods and hanging peach charms as much as possible to buy New Year's goods, and women's and children's clothes should also be newly made. The silver flowers next to the king were like running water.

Firecrackers and candles were very popular in the Song Dynasty on New Year's Eve. At night, incense candles and fire basins were bright, and the sound of firecrackers was loud all night.

There is also an important activity on New Year's Eve: the ceremony of expelling epidemic ghosts is held in the palace, and the imperial city's relatives and accompanying guards wear masks, embroidered clothes, and hold the golden gun and dragon flag. Meng Jingchu, the envoy of the teaching workshop (an official in charge of the teaching department), is a tall and powerful person, wearing a pair of gold-plated copper armor and pretending to be a general. With the two generals in the palace, they also wear the stomach and pretend to be the door god. The staff of the workshop, Nanhe charcoal, was ugly, burly and obese, pretending to be a judge. There are more than a thousand people pretending to be Zhong Kui, his little sister and the earth god and the earth god.

The imperial city division Zhubanzhi (with the soldiers), wearing masks, embroidered colorful clothes, holding golden guns, silver halberd, painted wooden swords, five-color dragons and phoenixes, five-color flags, teaching the music school's work general, talisman envoy, judge, Zhong Kui, Liuding, Liujia, divine soldier, five-way ghost envoy, stove king, land, portal, god lieutenant and other gods. Drive away from the self-inhibition and turn to Longwan outside the Nanxun Gate, which is called ' Buried' and then. It was night, and the firecrackers were whistling in the forbidden mountain, and the sound was heard outside.

New Year's Day, also known as the beginning of the year, is the most important festival of the year, which is what modern people call the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Kaifengfu released Guanpu (Guanpu: gambling, gambling with money, throwing property) for three days, the scholars and concubines congratulated each other early, and the alleys were called Guanpu with food, movement, fruit, firewood and charcoal and so on. Color sheds, covered with crowns and combs, pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collars, boots and shoes, fun and so on. There are dance halls, singing halls, and carriages and horses.

In the evening, the women of your family watched and entered to watch. The women of your family watched gambling, and the king was overwhelmed with the scenery.

Folk scholars and common people congratulate each other. Although the people are poor, they also need to clean new clothes and reward each other with wine. Regardless of whether it is rich or poor, it is endless to visit the Lin Palace. Family banquet, laughter and noise.

It's like this outside, and the king's house is even more lively. There are lanterns hanging in the house, and there is an endless stream of people coming to visit.

The king of the first year of junior high school will go to Wang Anshi Mansion, and then to Lord Bao's Mansion. The two sides are already busy with each other. When they arrive at the second day of junior high school, they will hold a banquet next to the king. On weekdays, they will invite singing and dancing prostitutes in the capital to entertain a few brothers who usually have good friends.

Wang's romance is that they are all friends who are a little older or about the same age as Wang. Some of them are usually together with Yuan Ze, Zhongzhen, and then Wang An Shimensheng like Li Gefei and others, and the children of other officials who have met at the same table are like Fan Chun. There are also small officials who have just sneaked into the court, such as Su Shi, Su Ze, Zeng Bu and Yue Li.

More than a dozen brothers in the twenties are so unhappy when drinking and chatting. Those elders also sing at night and night, and they have no time to take care of them.

These people also like this, so that they don't have to visit each other again. They also agreed with each other a year ago to get together and live in the new house next to the king by the way.

Someone asked that the new house should also have a name, so you said it one by one word. Some proposed to use the name of Wang's side, some proposed to use the official positions of the king's appointment, and some said that it should be called "Xiangpancake" house.

Yuan Ze said, "This huge mansion is called "Ruowufu" is not appropriate."

Zeng Bu, Su Shi and Li Gefei objected to calling it "Fragrant Cake" and felt that it was not high-grade

Everyone said a word. The land bought in Jincheng County has a Tangjia Village, which is also a place name. It's easy to find. This time, let Yin Shijie go back and get out the mansion. The king named "Jinxiang Mansion" has already thought about it.

Wang thought that there was also a "Longhu Villa" in Chenzhou. After finding Yuexia, Wang wanted to change the name of "Longhu Villa" to "Yuexia Villa", but Yuexia had a taboo that it was his father's hometown, and the name change was put aside.

As for here, at least there should be a house name, which is also convenient for people to find on the name post. He thought that since this mansion was to find the place under the moon, in the name of his mentor, he remembered that Di Qingren called him "General Nirvana" and said "Nian Nirvana".

Li Gefei was far away from where he did it. I'm afraid he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked, "What? Mayer?

He was not afraid of the mute talking, but he was afraid of the deaf. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the king and didn't know how he came out of Gomeyer's house.

The king laughed and said, "Meyer, it's just right that I got the first bucket of gold from making fragrant cakes, which is related to coal. In the future, the world can call me Mr. Meyer."

Everyone's Hexi Mansion is named "Meyer Mansion"

Su Shi wanted to say that he would be punished. He held up his glass and said, "Today, if there is no virtuous brother's wine, he will be punished."

Everyone asked why he was punished for drinking: "Su Shi said, have you ever seen him laugh secretly?"

The king is indeed smiling. This Meyer is called long, and he has to be called Master Mei, young and old. When Wang saw Su Shi say this, he said with a smile that the name of this house is called by outsiders. How can his own people call it, right?

After joking, the name of "Meyer House" has been decided. However, Wang's name still has a deep meaning. Think about it more than 700 years later, there was a man who founded the Rothschild family known as the "Sixth Reich" in Europe. It's not exactly Meyer. Rothschild?

Everyone was talking and laughing. Lu Shenyan ran in and asked the king to go to the front hall to receive the order. Everyone didn't know what was going on. What was the emperor's intention on the second day of the New Year.

Wang was in a hurry to change his clothes and receive the order. When he came back, everyone hurriedly asked. The king said that the emperor had a decree that the king of Xuan would go to Nanyuyuan tomorrow.

Fan Purely said, "It's a good thing. If there is no brother, you will be rewarded again"

Wang Pan hurriedly asked, where did this come from?

Fan Purely said, "Yesterday was the New Year's Day meeting. Hundreds of officials and messengers from various countries congratulated. Tomorrow, the envoys of Liao will shoot arrows in Nanyuyuan. The Song Dynasty had to select martial arts ministers who were good at shooting. If the accompaniment wins, there will be a reward.

As soon as Wang heard, he will try to shoot arrows tomorrow. He hasn't practiced shooting for many days. Not to mention practicing archery, he hasn't practiced martial arts for days. If he loses, he will be ashamed

That Fan Chun said again, "That year's ** banquet, we saw with our own eyes that if there were no brothers, they were skilled in archery."

The more he praised the king, the more he was. He thought that although he had not received the gift of jade from Di Qing at that time, it seemed that there was something missing since he threw the jade into the dry well outside the Privet. He waved to Lu Shenyan behind him and whispered a few words. Xiao Lu went out to do the things explained by the king.

Turning back, I heard Su Ze say, "Do you know where these foreign envoys live?"

During the period, some knew and some didn't know. For example, Wang Bian didn't know. Wang Bian asked, "Ziyou (Su Zhe's character Ziyou) to listen"

Su Zhe said: "Liao envoys live in Dutingyi, Xixia in Duting Xiyi, Gaoli envoys live in the Tongwen Hall of Anzhou Lane outside Liangmen, Huifu and Yutan envoys, Jiaozhi envoys live in the concierge courtyard, and the envoys of all countries live in Zhanyunguan or Huaiyuanyi."

Everyone listened to him, and Wang seemed to be missing something. Suddenly, Li Gefei asked, "Why didn't you come to worship?"

When he said this, everyone noticed that Fan Purely said, "This year, the Japanese slaves came to the envoys. I don't know why they didn't come to celebrate the New Year."

The king said, "Can't the Japanese slaves in the land of bullets go against the sky?" Everyone drank, talked and laughed before they dispersed.

After the banquet, Wang went back to his room and asked Lu Shenyan to come in. Wang asked him if he had found it. It turned out that Lu Shenyan went to retrieve the jade from the dry well.

Lu Shenyan said, "I found it, but I broke it in half, but I put some things in the prince's study for the time being. You'd better go and have a look."

Wang saw that Lu Shenyan looked strange and had more than half a piece of jade, so he came to the study with him. Three or four parcels were distributed on the table in the study. It doesn't seem to be old. The brocade used to make the package is still brand new. Obviously, people deliberately put it in it.

Open the package with soft gold and silver, and some porcelain. This is strange.

Wang asked Lu Shenyan if anyone else could see him. Lu Shenyan said that he only took Liu Qi. Liu Qi is a child, only ** years old, but he is shrewd. It is the child of Chenzhou brought by Zhang Yi. This time, Zhang Yi came to the capital with him. Thinking that Yuan Ze wanted a book boy, Wang asked Zhang Yi to keep the child. However, the little guy is smart, and he is not willing to send it out. He follows Lu Shenyan every day.

The king told him not to say anything about it for the time being. Lu Shenyan was ordered to put away the things, so he thought that he would take it to Kaifeng Mansion for half a day and give it to Lord Bao to make a deal. He thought it would be good if Brother He Libo was here. You can check it secretly around there.
