On this day, every household has to hold a banquet at home, and people visit each other is called "Farewell Sui". In addition, every household also burns incense outdoors, called "Tianxiang", which usually takes three days.

Heavy snow suddenly hit, covering the sky and the majestic Luoyang City quickly covered with a layer of gorgeous silver clothes, and it was completely renovated.

Cao Cao took his concubine Bian and walked into Luoyang City in silence.

Cao Song was very happy and kept wandering around his son, asking about his well-being, as if Cao Cao was still a naughty child and needed his father to take care of everything.

In the evening, the father and son talked in detail about the affairs in the capital.

During the Royal New Year, there are too many names and countless red tape.

The emperor was too busy and did not summon Li Hong to the palace today. He asked Jian Shuo, the little yellow gate, to send an order to Li Hong, and let him stay at Zhangyuetai to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. Li Hong asked Jian Shuo to ask the emperor for his behalf, hoping that the emperor would allow his subordinates to go out for a walk and see the grand scenery of Luoyang.

The emperor agreed.

The thirty years of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve.

Starting from New Year's Eve, door gods are pasted, New Year's Eve dinner, packing slots (modern dumplings), staying up the New Year, and setting off firecrackers. Before the first eve, shops will collect accounts, but after New Year's Eve, they can't make them. People who have no money use two peach wood boards with the names of the two door gods "Shentu" and "Yulei" written on them, and the ghosts dare not come. In addition to putting the door gods, they also hang reed ropes, that is, grass ropes. Ropes can tie people, so ghosts can also tie ghosts in people's understanding, so ghosts are afraid of ropes. On this day, the palace will hold a "Da Nuo" ceremony, beating the drum to drive out the ghosts that are infected, which is called "Zhihuang".

The snow is still falling down.

On this day, Xu Jing hurried into Luoyang City. Xu Jing did not go to Sikong's Mansion, but went to Yuan's Mansion. Yuan Wei was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Jing, a great scholar in Runan, was visiting and greeted him in person.

At the same time, Xu Xiang was very sad when he heard Xu Jing coming to Beijing but did not enter his home gate. He knew that his brother hated him for getting close to Zhongguan and looked down on him. He wandered in the yard for a long time, allowing heavy snow to spread all over his body. If he left his brother who came from his hometown thousands of miles away from his hometown and braved the wind and snow in Yuan's house for the New Year, he would feel guilty for this for the rest of his life and would become a joke for others. Although his political views were different, he was a brother after all.

Xu Xiang sighed and decided to go to Yuan’s mansion in person and take Xu Jing home to celebrate the New Year.
