Life passes very quickly, and the Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye

The winter in Chang'an is still quite cold. After a few snowfalls, the temperature quickly dropped to the bottom, and the rivers and lakes were frozen, and the ponds in Chen Yi's mansion were all sealed. They slipped around on the ice without breaking it. It can be seen that the thickness of the ice layer is really quite large, which shows the degree of coldness.

However, no matter how cold the weather is, it cannot stop the festive celebration of the New Year. The joy contained in the hearts of the people gradually emerges as the hearts of the New Year. This year has been a festive year for everyone in the Tang Dynasty. There are too many happy events coming. The world is rich, the people are rich, and they don’t have to worry about their food and clothing. Most people should not worry about their livelihoods. The battles in Liaodong and Qinghai have achieved unprecedented victories, and their glory is even more brilliant than before, making the people feel proud and their waists stand straighter.

This is easy to understand. The four barbarians surrendered, and no foreign barbarians dared to disrespect the Tang Dynasty or the Han people. As the people of the Tang Dynasty, the people all felt special dignity and glory. This can be felt from the Hu people of the Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of the Hu people, the Han people in the Tang Dynasty were superior and they envied. Countless Hu people longed to stay in the Tang Dynasty, stay in Chang'an and become real Tang people. They worked hard to learn Chinese, embraced Han costumes, and practiced Han customs, and were eager to be sinicized and recognized.

According to incomplete statistics, there are at least tens of thousands of Hu people in Chang'an. While gaining exotic customs, the Han people also feel special dignity. In Chang'an, Hu people have no privileges, but are inferior to others. They are controlled by Han people everywhere and dare not do anything offends Han people. If they commit a crime, even if the crime is the same, the Han people will be punished lightly and the Hu people will be punished severely.

This is completely opposite to Chen Yi's later life. At that time, the Han people had the lowest status, and to a certain extent, people from other ethnic minorities were above the Han people. No matter what policy, they were particularly caring for them. People from a certain northwest ethnic group, even a few people, could go to the mainland to do whatever they wanted. Even the police dared not care about them. Not to mention the "foreign people" who came to China, even those who criticized Africa, seemed to be particularly superior, and Chinese laws also gave them special kindness. If they were to commit crimes, they would not be investigated. Has the government always had special preferential policies for foreign businessmen?

Because of the special treatment of the "Hu people", the "Hu people" were invisibly superior. A large number of Chinese girls flocked to the Hu people and willingly threw themselves into their arms. Let them play with it, not be ashamed of it, but instead took the honor of being the Hu people's lovers, being played with by them, or marrying them. You should know that although the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty could marry Han people as their wives, if the Hu people went back, they could not bring their wives back. The Han people's blood was noble and generally not allowed to marry Hu women as their wives. This was the situation in Chen Yi's later generations.

Not to mention language issues. Chen Yi traveled through time and later generations. I don’t know where the status of Chinese was placed. Foreigners came to China and wanted to speak foreign languages ​​to them. Chinese people also had to speak foreign languages ​​to foreigners when they went abroad. But the situation is still completely opposite. Anyone who came to Tang Dynasty or Chang'an had to speak Chinese. No one here is willing to speak Chinese, unless it was between Hu people and Hu people. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to hear Hu Yin. Seeing Hu people speaking fluent Chinese all over the streets, Chen Yi really wanted to swear. In the future, this tmd Chinese people were so lowly.

Although he was a little angry at the situation in later generations, Chen Yi felt indescribable comfort when he saw the obedient appearance of the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty. He also felt a special honor for the Han people and a feeling of being proud.

What made him even happier was that during the Chinese New Year, he received a heavy reward from the court. He was not promoted in his official position, but he was given a title of a male in the founding county. This was the lowest of the nine types of titles in the Tang Dynasty. However, Chen Yi was happy. Has he got his own fief? And he was still near Chang'an, with dozens of households in fiefs and standard landlords. He also rewarded a lot of money and goods, with several kilograms of gold and nearly a thousand pieces of silk. However, Chen Yi did not have much concept of money and goods, nor was he very interested, and he gave them all to Helan Minyue in charge.

Originally, Helan Minyue had no idea about money and things and didn't know how to take charge of it, but after getting married, she was "forced" to become interested in it, took the initiative to take charge of these things, and soon became interested. She was smart and seemed to be talented in managing these things, and she was doing financial management in an orderly manner, which made the butler Chen An amazed. Seeing that Helan Minyue performed well, Chen Yi was even more lazy to pay attention to this matter.

There were even better things that came to them yesterday. While Chen Yi was rewarded, the court issued an edict to designate Helan Minyue as "Mrs. Wei" with a fief of 800 households.

Although this is a gratifying thing, Chen Yi felt that it was a bit unfair. His wife's title was far superior to him, which made him a little hit. "Mrs." is a first-rate title, which can be regarded as the highest title that a foreign woman can obtain. Just like a man who gets the title of "Duke", it has reached its peak. Unless he becomes a member of the royal family, or is named a king or something, there is no possibility of being promoted again. Thinking of this, Chen Yi felt sad. He knew that he wanted to be a Duke of the Kingdom, but he didn't know that it would be possible to be the Monkey Year and Horse Month. He felt that he would be severely killed by Helan Minyue in his life.

I feel like I can't raise my head. I believe that no man wants to see his wife be more capable than him, and the position and honor he has won is more than his own. This is especially true for people like Chen Yi who have always been strong and have a strong machismo. But now everything falls behind his wife, and the gap is not ordinary. When people go out for a banquet in the future, people will say that this is the husband of Mrs. Wei, and will not introduce Helan Minyue as his wife, who will be the young prisoner. Thinking of this, Chen Yi feels a little crying and tears.

His reputation and talent are in full swing, but he is about to be suppressed by Helan Minyue. This taste is really bad, but he can't tell others, so he still looks happy.

Chen Yi and Helan Minyue both received rewards, and they received a lot of rewards. The people in the mansion naturally had to share with each other. After discussing with Chen Yi, Helan Minyue took out a lot of money and goods to all the servants in the mansion. Of course, they gave different rewards based on their status and contributions. People at the level of big leaders such as Chen An, Chen Hong and Chen Zhong will receive more rewards, and those who do odd jobs naturally have much fewer people. This reflects the difference in fairness. Whoever makes a great contribution will receive more rewards, and no one has any objection to this.

This year is destined to be lively.

On the day of New Year’s Eve, another snow is not bad or small. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and the whiteness in the sky adds joy to the festival.

The brother of Chen Yi’s mansion, who was renamed the Lady of Wei State, was filled with a festive atmosphere on New Year’s Eve.

People in the Tang Dynasty were very particular about the New Year. Before the New Year, people who went out should try to rush back as much as possible to reunite with their relatives. On New Year's Eve, the whole family would gather together to have New Year's Eve dinner and stay up to the New Year. There were many customs and etiquettes that Chen Yi had never heard of before and after the future generations. On New Year's Eve, Chen Yi went to the family temple to worship, pray for blessings, and share the joy with his ancestors.

Chen Yi's ancestral temple was set up in his original residence. Even if the ancestral temple was used there, many of the ancestral temples of Chen's ancestors were all weird. Major festivals and some special days, such as the death day of the ancestors, were all worshipped. This year's New Year's Eve worship was also very grand. Although Helan Minyue was named the wife of the Wei State, she still respectfully worshiped the ancestors of the Chen family as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and others dared not be negligent at all.

After a series of activities, it was already time to lantern the lights and the New Year’s Eve dinner was also up.

There were several tables of banquets in the front hall of the mansion. Chen Yi and a group of wives and concubines sat on the table. Chen An, Chen Zhong, Chen Hong and other well-known servants sat on the table. Other servants with higher identities continued to sort in this way. Originally, Chen An opposed such arrangements and believed that this was disorderly order, but Chen Yi insisted that a large group of people must be together and drink and eat food in a lively manner. He liked this atmosphere, especially on a special day like New Year's Eve. After being busy for a whole year, the servants should be lively and lively. Some a little abrupt actions will touch the servants and make them serve themselves wholeheartedly. Chen Yi knows this very well.

The New Year's Eve dinner was extremely lively, and all the well-known servants came to toast Chen Yi. Chen Yi refused to accept everyone, and only drank, his face blushed and his heart beat hard, almost unsupported. However, he was very happy. Seeing everyone's happy look, he felt a strong sense of pride.

Everyone around him belongs to him. He wants to treat them better. He hopes that he can make anyone live well and be proud of being by his side. He can bring glory and dignity to everyone, and a rich life.

After playing with his family for a long time, Chen Yi was a little uneasy. While his wives and concubines were having fun together and were very interested, he walked out of the front hall on the grounds of solving physical problems and moved to the garden alone. Stepping on the snow and feeling the cold wind, Chen Yi couldn't help but think of many things. People say that every festival misses his family more. Inexplicably, Chen Yi remembered the scene of his childhood in later generations - having New Year's Eve dinner with his parents, wearing new clothes for himself, setting off firecrackers outside the house with his friends, and running happily, everything was so warm.

Suddenly I had the urge to cry, and I had a strong nostalgia for future generations. My parents in future generations don’t know how good it is in another world? Chen Yi also knew that if future generations were also New Year’s Eve, my parents would definitely be extremely sad at home. She shed tears for his son who would never return. What would his hometown be like after a thousand years? I want to go back to my hometown to see, but can I return home?

My hometown is still there, but I can never go back...

Thinking of this, Chen Yi's big tears rolled out of his eyes. This was the first time he had passed through time and cried because he missed his family and parents. He couldn't help but know that this was the only time and he would never cry again. He is now a native of the Tang Dynasty, and everything has nothing to do with the future. He will create his own glory in the Tang Dynasty.
