Although Shiro is already a scholar, this cannot change the fact that he is still a child, and he does not pay much attention to his image as a scholar.

"Girl, my aunt! Why did you think today is called New Year's Eve?"

Xu Jiaojiao was chatting idlely, but suddenly heard Silang ask a question.

this,

Shiro!

It is a good thing to ask questions when studying, but you asked the wrong person!

Your aunt is not a person who grew up in this world, how can you know why?

She turned her eyes to Xu Zhang.

However, Xu Youde immediately spoke, "Silang, don't get to your aunt's side! Come here, I'll talk to you."

When talking about the past, Xu Jiaojiao was also interested in listening.

In Xu Youde's words, she really heard a different saying.

"According to legend, in ancient times, there was a terrible monster called Xi! It could not be hidden, but every day on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it would come out, eat animals, and eat people! People thought of many ways, but they didn't.

I had to ask the Kitchen God for help.

The Kitchen God knew Xi's power well and knew that he was not Xi's opponent, so he went to the Heavenly Court to send reinforcements. However, the Emperor of Heaven was unwilling to care about this matter, and the gods next to him were lazy!

The Kitchen God couldn't do it, but he liked to eat candy melons. He took it with him when he went out, so he took a few candy melons for the Jade Emperor to eat, saying that this is a specialty of the world. Do you want to try it?

Although the Emperor of Heaven is above his superiority, He has never eaten this kind of snack before, and as soon as he eats it, his teeth stick to his feet!

Emperor Tian was so anxious that he wanted to quickly get the candy melon on his teeth and swallow it. The Kitchen God took the opportunity to talk to the Emperor about rescuing soldiers. Emperor Tian was not in the mood to care about this matter at this time, and he nodded nodded regardless of what the Kitchen God said.

You think his teeth are stuck and can't speak. His nodding means that everything you say is good, and it's true that you quickly get this thing off for me!

When the Kitchen Lord saw the Emperor of Heaven nodded, he quickly made a cup of tea and asked again: "Since you have agreed to send troops, then look, who should I send?"

Emperor Tian drank hot tea and softened the candy melon. Finally, he opened his mouth and said in one sentence: "Sticky! Sticky!"

The gods next to them were afraid that the Emperor of Heaven sent him to take action. When they heard this, they took the opportunity to catch the verb and said, "The Emperor of Heaven has an order to send New Year to the Kingdom of New Year's Eve with the Kitchen King!"

Nian is still a little baby (that is, Nian baby), can it work? But the Kitchen God had no choice but to take Nian back to the world. Before leaving, Nian brought two toys, a piece of red silk and a bamboo tube.

On the evening of the thirty, Xi came again to harm people, and Nian and Xi started a big battle! Nian took out the red silk and bamboo tube. It turned out that this was not a toy. The red silk was a Huntian Ling, and the bamboo tube was a fire-tip gun that could spit fire!

Nian used these two magic weapons to drive Xi away. In order to prevent Xi from doing evil again after leaving, Nian cut the red silk into many small strips and pasted them on the door. He also taught the people to make firecrackers, ignite the heels and fire.

The bamboo tube was exactly the same. From then on, Xi was so scared that he never dared to do evil again.

In order to commemorate this incident, the people called the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month New Year's Eve, which means to get rid of the eve, and the first day of the first lunar month is called the New Year!

Now, do you know why firecrackers are set off every New Year’s Eve?”

Shiro said happily: "So that's the case! You are so awesome!"

Xu Jiaojiao also smiled without any concealment.

She felt that this story was in line with the meaning of the New Year.

In some stories, it is obviously inappropriate to compare the New Year to a vicious beast. In this case, the words "New Year" and "New Year" are very forced to explain.

(Please forgive me for my long remarks about the Spring Festival. This important festival is now becoming increasingly weak. If these words can deepen readers' impression of this festival, it would be worth it to be scolded.)

"Jiaojiao, I'm going to stay up tonight, but when you're pregnant, just take a break early!" Xu Zhang said.

"I'm not sleepy, wait until I'm sleepy before going to bed!" Xu Jiaojiao replied.

She is very in good spirits. In addition to loving to sleep in the first two months, she even felt more energetic during this period than before, which made her a little confused.

Can two babies who have not yet grown up help her increase her mental strength?

Haven't heard of it?

But this is undoubtedly a good thing, and she is too lazy to think about it even if she can't figure it out.

Taking advantage of this reunion day, have fun and chat more, and what are you in a hurry to sleep?

However, one person broke her thoughts.

Master Ji came to tell her that she was the princess and would go to congratulate her tomorrow morning according to the rules.

Not only her, but also Zhang has to go with his imperial decree.

Therefore, it is best to go to bed early.

"Oh, I, an old woman, want to go to court, too?"

Xu Zhang was surprised and a little at a loss. Such a thing was like a big girl getting into a sedan chair!

"Old lady, it's not about going to court, but about following the emperor to worship in the temple of the late emperor. For ordinary people, it is supreme glory."

Xu Zhang opened his mouth, "Well, what glory, I don't care about it yet, can I not go?"

Xu Youde interrupted, "Why don't you go with such a great glory?"

Xu Zhang glared: "You have to care!"

Master Ji said: "The princess is pregnant and can't go. If you don't go, well, it's not bad. Anyway, you shouldn't live in the princess's mansion for a long time."

"Then don't go!"

have to.

In the end, only Liao Qing needed to congratulate him.

It seems that it is too disrespectful to Emperor Zhu if he doesn’t go. Xu Jiaojiao asked him to rest early and go to congratulate them tomorrow morning!

Liao Qing had no choice but to receive the order.

In this night without a mobile phone, TV, and only a dustpan, Xu Jiaojiao thought time would be a bit difficult, but found that she was not slow to do so.

After watching the lanterns, enjoying the fireworks, I went back to the house to sit with everyone. When the melon seeds were knocked and the calf was pulled, it was midnight unknowingly.

Xu Youde also organized his children and grandchildren to worship the god of heaven and welcome the god of wealth, and the incense and wax were burned out a lot.

What I gave Xu Jiaojiao the feeling was that there were so many gods and masters on this day, and I wonder if they were too busy to do so?

Didn’t we send away the Kitchen God and Kitchen God’s grandmother a few days ago? Now we will take it back and continue to bless the family’s good fortune. This master’s full name is “Nine Heavens Dong Chushi Ming Taiyi Yuanhuang Dingfu Zu Shan Tianzun”, only from

Literally speaking, there is no need to say anything, it must be invited back.

Although Xu Jiaojiao didn't care much about these things, she didn't object to them.

After all, it is a very important traditional custom.

As long as you don’t think you are the best in the world, it’s better to leave room for everything.

According to traditional narrative theory, people between heaven and earth are not the highest, there is a god above and a soul below. If you don’t believe it, you can do it without having to slander it, right?

When it was almost done, Xu Jiaojiao pulled my mother into the house and muttered.

By the second half of the night, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year. After the two came out, someone began to congratulate each other on the New Year.
Chapter completed!
