On New Year's Eve, Shangyun Sect Mansion worshiped the gods early and began to prepare the New Year's dinner.

Four maids in the kitchen, including Mother Wang and Mrs. Ye, are busy preparing meals.

Outside the mansion, Xingcheng and Yueting, two men, led old man Jian, Master Yuankong and Zhongping, were responsible for posting couplets and hanging the word Fu.

In this era, there has been no talk of posting couplets and hanging the word "Fu" in the New Year ceremony, and Old Man Jian and others found it very novel.

"The auspicious air in the nine provinces welcomes spring, and the auspicious clouds in the world bring blessings. It's wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

This couplet was written by Chen Qiong. The character is grand and square, and it contains a magnificent spirit, which is very consistent with his personality.

Old Man Jian opened the reading and praised it repeatedly. He was in a state of excitement, wishing he could open all the couplets to take a look.

This couplet is naturally attached to both sides of the gate of Shangyun Sect Mansion, and there are two characters with Dafu.

"Why do you have to post the word "Fu" upside down?"

Zhongping, who brushed the paste, asked very puzzledly.

"The blessing comes, and the blessing comes naturally to let the blessing come!"

Yueting was busy pasting the word "Fu" while explaining with a smile.

"It's so lucky!"

Master Yuankong's eyes shone and praised this explanation loudly.

"So that's how we didn't expect it!"

Old Man Jian was surprised and happy, and slapped his forehead in annoyance, as if he had missed many blessings!

Seeing that the couplets and the word "Fu" on both sides of the gate were pasted, Master Yuankong couldn't wait to open another couplet.

"The earth is always full of purple auspiciousness, and the spring breeze is everywhere. Okay, what a good intention!"

Just so happened that Mr. Ye, who had worshipped his ancestors in the Ye Mansion, came forward to read.

After reading it, Mr. Ye’s face was flushed and his hands were trembling with excitement. Those who didn’t know thought this couplet was his masterpiece!

"What...what is this to be done?"

Mr. Ye, who didn't know how to post a couplet, looked at the word "Fu" on the door and the couplets on both sides and were a little confused.

Although I don’t know what it means, I have to say it is quite festive. With the extremely meaningful verses, it’s so elegant and unique!

"Young Master Xing, where should this couplet be posted?"

Old Man Jian jumped up and down excitedly and couldn't help asking Xingcheng.

"Just stick it to those two pillars!"

This couplet was specially written by Chen Qiong to the two large pillars in front of the gate. The font is a bit more elegant than the one just now.

After all, the storefront represents the face of the entire Shangyun Sect Mansion, so you have to be more domineering no matter how you dominate it!

Several people here were busy posting couplets. Mr. Ye and Brother Ye and his son were so itchy that they opened the other couplets and started reading.

"Wine is served on the New Year's Day, and flowers are flying everywhere in spring, which is really wonderful!"

After Mr. Ye finished reading, he laughed excitedly.

"The mountains and rivers are fortunate to bloom, and the heaven and earth are selfless and return to spring. Father, this picture is also wonderful, and the font is excellent!"

Brother Ye was very knowledgeable, but he was shocked by this couplet and couldn't help but scream, and quickly showed it to his father for his eyes.

"Everything is awesome to welcome the New Year, and the good luck will be celebrated for the festival for thousands of years, and the lucky stars shine"

Old Man Jian, who was unwilling to fall behind, also opened a picture and read it loudly.

"Why is there a small one?"

After reading it, he found that there was a four-character small horizontal couplet in his hand, and he was a little puzzled.

"That's a horizontal banner, pasted above the door frame."

Because horizontal banners cannot be posted on the gate as beams and pillars, there is no horizontal banner in the first few couplets.

Yueting's helpless explanation is actually a bit funny.

In their eyes, the most ordinary couplets are regarded as treasures!

However, he believed that with the guidance of Shangyun Sect Mansion, posting couplets would become a must-have New Year project in the world.

"The sky increases the years and people grow their lives, spring fills the world and the world and blessings fill the building, and Chang'an in all seasons. This meaning is also very good, just sticking outside my house!"

After reading a couplet that was slightly smaller than outside the door, Old Man Jian hid it in his sleeve with a thick face.

Mr. Ye??

Can you still do this?

Why didn't he expect it!

"The fifth update is divided into two years of satisfaction every year, and two years of satisfaction every night. Congratulations to the New Year. This one is good, so I will post it to my door to meet the scenery!"

So, Mr. Ye confiscated one and put it on, with a straight face.

"I am happy to live in the treasure land for thousands of years, and blessings shine on the prosperity of my family and welcome the New Year. It just so happens that there is not outside my house, and this one is the one!"

Then, Brother Ye also followed suit and put a picture on it.

"A good luck comes, everything goes well and everything is good, and wealth is abundant. I will accept this picture!"

Seeing that everyone was in a good position, Master Yuankong naturally wanted to follow the crowd, so he put it away as he said.

Xingcheng??

There are no couplets, so what else can I post?

Yueting??

Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing, saving him from being busy!

Zhongping??

What should he do if he wants one too?

"Get in and get it, Master, Master and the second brother are all writing couplets."

Yueting said and walked towards the gate.

After hearing this, Mr. Ye's eyes lit up. He glanced at Old Man Jian and walked quickly into it.

"Young Master Han also wrote couplets? Then I, the old man, want to see it!"

Old Man Jian said as he accelerated his feet, for fear that he would be snatched away by Master Ye.

"The second junior brother has the first-class font and it is hard to find a word. He rarely writes on weekdays, so he should go and take a look."

Xingcheng smiled and explained to Brother Ye and Master Yuankong.

Hanbing has a cold temperament and is taciturn. No one expected that he was still a hidden calligrapher!

In his previous life, his handwriting really reached the point where he was worth a fortune, but few people saw him start writing, let alone possess his masterpiece!

The most normal New Year's Day procedure in Yunzong Mansion caused a sensation. Many literati and talented people heard about it and came to watch and read outside the gate of Yunzong Mansion, which became a hot topic in the capital.

...

"Come on, everyone raises their glasses together."

Shangyunzong Mansion's third courtyard - Guanjiyuan Hall, two long tables are spliced ​​together, and everyone sits together. At the suggestion of Mr. Ye, everyone picks up the wine glasses together.

The ancestor in the main position is rarely worn in a silver-purple dress. The beautiful color makes her face whiter and more imposing. Even if she is plain and looks simple, she still can't take her eyes open.

However, Jing Zhao is the only one who dares to stare at her!

Perhaps because of the New Year, the ancestor was also a little happy, but he also cooperated with his cheap father to raise his wine glass.

"One wishes the country to be prosperous and the people to be safe, two wishes to be healthy, three wishes to gather together every year!"

Seeing everyone holding up their wine glasses, Mr. Ye smiled and wished each other, and then everyone drank together.

Because everyone had a small wine pot at hand, Liangchen's maids did not serve him, but instead had a meal together, and even the Zhongping was listed.

After each of the men, women, young and old, poured their wine, Chen Qiong on the left of the ancestor raised his wine glass and stood up to pay homage to the ancestor.

"Disciple respects Master, I wish Master a good New Year, a great way to accomplish soon, and all the best!"

Very ordinary and sincere wishes made Old Man Jian and Mr. Ye and others feel novel and beautiful!

"Um--"

Although the ancestor had no extra words, his eyebrows were curved, which showed that he was very happy, and then drank the fruit wine in his hand.

"Disciple respects Master and wishes Master a happy New Year and a long life..."

Then Xu Xiaoren stood up and toasted the ancestor.

Next were Xie Huaqing, Xingcheng, Hanbing, and Yueting toasted the ancestor.

It was down to the right of the ancestor, including Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, Jing Zhao, Old Man Jian, Master Yuankong, Brother Ye, and several maids, Zhongping, and Mother Wang.

Even the little chlorophyll girl was wearing a festive red cotton jacket and lay in the warm cradle beside Mrs. Ye, listening to the adults blessing each other, chatting lively, and drinking...
