Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

With the beginning of the exorcism activity outside the Furong Garden, the people of Chang'an City, who were surrounded by a sea of people, cheered and cheered continuously.

That voice was so warm that it could be heard even in Chang'an City.

Of course, these children are neatly aligned, and after professional choreography and several rehearsals, the performance is indeed wonderful.

Due to the long duration of the exorcism performance, when the performance here begins, news continues to spread into the city.

There were quite a few royal relatives who sneaked out of the imperial city and ran to the Furong Garden to take a look.

After learning about this, Li Shimin chattered angrily, saying that Li Qiu, a bastard boy, was not sensible.

I have an empty stomach of talent, but I don't need to be in the right place.

It's quite capable of doing all kinds of things in one day.

Seeing him like this, Empress Eldest Sun just smiled secretly on the side.

I thought that this was my own son, and if it was someone else, I might be angry...

At the end of the performance, the more than 1,300 children, extremely respectful, bowed politely to the people in all directions and around them.

Thank you for their support.

Looking at this group of children who are now becoming more and more excellent and promising, whether it is the eldest grandson Wuji, Chai Shao, Princess Pingyang, Du Ruhui and others, or those ordinary people in Chang'an City.

I was embarrassed in my heart.

A few months ago, they were poor children of a homeless family on the verge of death.

But just a few months have passed, and this group of children has been guided by the famous teachers of Furong Academy, and they have come out so well.

Whether it is skill, temperament, or etiquette, it is so pleasing to the eye.

Later, they looked at their children and thought to themselves that if they could also enter the Furong Academy to study and Xi martial arts, it might be a good thing.

When the expulsion was over, the surrounding people gradually dispersed.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui and others also prepared to leave.

But at this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had good eyes, was the first to see the couplet hanging at the gate of the Hibiscus Garden.

The first appearance of this Spring Festival couplet was in the Song Dynasty.

According to the record of "History of the Song Dynasty and the Shu Family", Meng Chang, the lord of Later Shu, wrote poems on the peach board: New Year's Yuqing, Jiajie Changchun.

This is also the beginning of the Spring Festival couplets.

Today, when watching this group of children planting peach branches and hanging the door, Li Qiu always felt that the empty space above the gate was not very pleasing to the eye.

I simply thought of a couplet, and asked Wu Jue to write it on a peach board and hang it on the gate.

Then he was seen by the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The wine is green, the light is red, tonight is even two years old

, and I wish the world a good year;" "People are diligent in the early spring, and the Ming Dynasty is another year, and I wish the world a satisfactory year after year." There

is also a horizontal batch on it: "Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."

"Hey, Li Qiu, this peach wood board hanging in front of your door is really

interesting!" "It's kind of interesting!" Hearing

what Changsun Wuji said, Wu Shi Tong, Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Feng Li, Yu Chi Jingde, Du Ruhui and others also came over.

After watching it and talking about it again, they all nodded their heads and said they were interesting.

Ask Li Qiu what the origin of this poem is.

Li Qiu smiled and explained to everyone, "Actually, it's not a poem. It

is written to say goodbye to the old year, welcome the new year, and send a beautiful couplet. "

You can also call it Spring Festival couplets.

"Originally, I just looked at this gate with only peach branches and door god portraits.

"It's a little cold, so I'll use this couplet to fill in the rest. Hearing

Li Qiu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was interesting.

Wu Shi Tong was even more direct, "Li Qiu, come, write me a pair with the peach wood board you have here."

"When I get back from here in a while, I'll hang it at the door of the house." "

It's fun for everyone to watch, comment, and comment.

Listening to Wu Shitong's instructions, how dare Li Qiu disobey his orders?

So he read out a couplet and asked Wu Qiu to write on the peach wood board: All

the lakes and the four seas are full of spring, and thousands of rivers and mountains are full of glory. Horizontal batch, Vientiane update.

After seeing such a pair of Spring Festival couplets generated word by word in Wu Jue's pen, everyone praised it as wonderful and interesting.

As for the samurai, he is also very satisfied.

But before Li Qiu stopped, the military generals on the other side, such as Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and Feng Li, were not polite.

asked Li Qiu to get a Spring Festival couplet for them, and also brought it back and hung it on the door.

Li Qiu smiled and obeyed their orders, following their wishes.

Among them, only Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak.

Because even if they were civil servants, they were also full of poetry and books.

This is just a pair of Spring Festival couplets and Li Qiu came to write it for himself, and it was good to say that he didn't sound good.

Then they could only watch Wei Chi Jingde, Feng Li and others happily fiddling with the peach planks and applauding, but they returned to the mansion in a huff.

After everyone left, it was also the most important moment of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Tonight, Li Qiu didn't let the cooks cook.

These thousands of people, so many dishes, when do you have to go?

And this big pot of rice also affects the taste, wasting ingredients, isn't it?

Therefore, at today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Qiu directly brought up the hot pot feast he carefully created.

That group of children, a table of ten people, only a hundred or so tables can be done.

This tastes good, is convenient to eat, and is more comfortable and warm.

Like the bottom of the pot, it is relatively simple, and it is an old soup made with lamb bones, pork bones, and chicken bones in advance.

Put a few jujubes, green onions and a little refined salt, condiments.

And the mutton rolls are also cut in advance, as thin as cicada wings.

As for the greens and other things, they have already been prepared.

Accompanied by some other cold dishes, side dishes and snacks, the food is very hearty.

Since everyone here, except for Li Qiu, has never seen anyone eat hot pot.

So when they tried to eat it, it was really delicious to the point of crying.

Even the old prince, who was weak and didn't have a very strong appetite, ate a lot, and nodded again and again that it tasted very good.

And I feel very warm when I eat it.

Coupled with this shooting wolf, it's amazing.

After this meal, more than a dozen sheep were eaten directly, and you can imagine how lively and festive the dinner was at that time.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was approaching around eleven o'clock at night.

The next activity was to light a huge bonfire outside the Hibiscus Garden.

In the Tang Dynasty, this custom was called Burning Tingliao.

The wood that made up the bonfire alone was as tall as a hill.

And after letting the flames rise, they were directly higher than the walls of Chang'an City, and even people outside the city could easily see it.

Due to this day, there is no curfew.

So many people in the neighborhood ran out, cheering together around the distance of the super bonfire.
