Chapter 72 Lantern Festival (1)

That's right, the Tang Dynasty was a Tang Dynasty with the final say. It was not like the first prize in later generations that they could enter the national center and participate in the management of the country. Because all the officials here were controlled by one or several large aristocratic families behind them. The personal abilities seemed to be very small here. So if you want to succeed here, you must rely on the power of the family. And Song Bo has such power now.

Most of the officials here come from an ancient family or from a new military family. Some people may say that the Tang Dynasty also had scientific research. However, those who said this did not know that the so-called scientific research was basically prepared for the children of those aristocratic families. There are very few people born in poverty. Because the key to this matter is that all the knowledge of this era is monopolized by aristocratic families. However, some officials born in poverty have mostly become new aristocratic families.

All Song Bo needs to do is to do his duty as a family and be a reasonable and traditional family.

‘Maybe it was a bit long in the 21st century. After traveling through time, God took care of me and asked me to be a second-generation official and a second-generation rich?’ Song Bo thought so in his mind. Because some of the Song family members were officials, although these official positions were very small and were not enough to affect politics at all, the people of the Song family were still officials. Of course, as the head of the Song family, Song Qizhi still had an official position. He was named a fifth-rank: the court hired a doctor in fact, this official position was useless, but it was just a prosecutor. It was just to comfort the Song family. Song Qizhi did not have a practical position. But this also shows that Song Bo was a second-generation official and according to his father Song Qizhi, Song Bo could inherit his father's official position.

Now Song Bo can be said to have money and power. Being a businessman like this is really hurtful. Well, it is really too hurtful. Of course, Song Bo still thought about many other things. But others don’t know.

On the thirteenth day, when Song Bo came out of the blacksmith shop, Song Bo was surprised to find that it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival. Because the first lunar month is the first lunar month, the ancients called the night "Xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Lantern Festival. As for the Shangyuan Festival, it is a little more complicated. In fact, there are three festivals in China, the Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and the Xiayuan Festival. These three festivals correspond to the three Taoist gods. During the Tang Dynasty, because the Li family claimed to be descendants of Lao Dan and Lier in order to support their bloodline, Taoism was prevalent.

Although Buddhism was once popular, Buddhism was a sect that Wu Zetian believed in. Some people say that it was because Wu Zetian worked as a nun in a temple. In fact, Wu Zetian had to vigorously promote Buddhism in order to become a Li family in order to become a Taoist and influenced by the Li family. If Wu Zetian really believed in Buddhism, she would not be the queen.

In fact, the sect that truly occupied the dominant position in the entire Tang Dynasty was Taoism. So many emperors were sick and depressed because of eating elixirs. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was called the Lantern Festival. It was not because otherwise it was mainly because of Taoist beliefs.

Just the day before the Lantern Festival, Song Bo was holding a bright handful of shabby in his hand, without even the scabbard, and there was no knife at the door of the Song family's blacksmith shop. At this time, Song Bo was covered in rags, his whole body was messy, and there were a few straws on it. If someone who was not aware of the matter would ask him directly how much it cost (inserting grass marks is a rule for selling people). His clothes were basically rotten and could be made of paper. The white robes were now basically black. They looked like a map of the world. The shoes under his feet were already exposed to dates in front and pears behind.

Is this ugly? But Song Bo's face looked lazy and his eyes were full of ignorance.

Looking left and right, I found that there was no other person. Song Bo held the knife on his shoulder and walked towards Changlefang with a swagger. No outsiders could disturb Song Bo during these thirteen days. Because Song Bo closed the door of the blacksmith shop tightly. Because it was the Chinese New Year, no one came here to disturb him. And his family also had no way to go in to see him because Song Bo locked the door tightly from the inside. Song Bo lived on the backyard for the past thirteen days. After the result, he looked like such a homeless man. If this was to be seen by those familiar with him, he would definitely be surprised.

Because Song Bo has been a soldier for a long time. This type of people all have one characteristic: that is, they are neat, maybe they are not well dressed. Maybe there are no famous brands in the clothes. But cleanliness is a must. These are all habits that have been developed in military nutrition for a long time.

But now, Song Bo is a beggar who has been begging for many years. He even has thick mud shells on his face. Now Song Bo's face can be called invulnerable to swords and guns.

Song Bo came to his home in Changlefang in a swagger all the way. When Song Bo arrived at his home, his family did not recognize him at all.

"Why are beggars from there? Why do you come in when you see the door? This is a kind family. Not anyone can come in. Go out and go out quickly. A Wu? Go and have some food for him." Because Song Bo was hungry, the people in the Song family are basically better for homeless people.

"Okay. I'm going."

"No need. I'll eat after taking a shower." Song Bo didn't seem to hear what A Er said at all. It seemed like these two people were greeting Song Bo at the door. Song Bo stepped forward and walked towards the house.

"Hey.ahy.wait. Why don't you tell me the name and walk inside, you?"

"I, Song Bo. The second child, your eyes are rubbed. I didn't even recognize me."

"Ah? Langjun?"

"Nonsense, isn't I a ghost?"

"Ah, my husband, please come in. Lao Wu hurried to go to the kitchen to prepare meals. Then let someone prepare the clothes for changing."

Song Bo didn't care what they said, but walked to the bathing room. A bucket of water was burning wherever he was. This huge wooden barrel half a person tall was the bathtub for Song Bo to take a bath. Song Bo threw away the rotten cloth on his body and stepped into the wooden barrel.

Lying comfortably in the wooden barrel, without Song Bo rubbing it at all. A large amount of mud spread from Song Bo's body into the water. It looked like a pen was inserted into the white water. Slowly as time passed, the entire bathtub seemed like a big ink cartridge and became dark.

Just as Song Bo was enjoying it, there was a sound of knocking on the window at the door.

"who?"

"Mr. I am. Ah Da."

"A Da? What's the matter?"

"Happy husband, I am from the Cheng family. The wife of the Cheng family invites you to visit the Lantern Festival tomorrow."
