It started drizzling in Kaifeng City, and the boats coming and going on the pier were still busy. There were more and more pedestrians coming and going on the street.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming again, and time is about to be set to the second year of Jianlong.

This is the best era that the people who have experienced the five generations of war have seen. The Zhao Song official acts one after another. Not only did they increase rations for the river workers, but they also reduced the taxes from all walks of life. The city is prosperous, the country is also busy sowing, and the whole country is rich and peaceful.

This year was not peaceful. Li Yun and Li Chongjin rebelled one after another, and the new official army led the expedition, but the battle was straightforward and flawless.

Li Yun officially launched an army in April and disappeared in June, Li Chongjin started an army in September and November. Before the people could share the same hatred of the enemy, the war was over, and the court did not even charge the people a penny of tax.

The people naturally recognized Zhao Kuangyin's new court more. The people's hearts of the new government are as stable as Mount Tai. They can fight wars and are so good to the people, so they don't support them. They have long forgotten what the Later Zhou Dynasty was.

As the news of Li Chongjin's defeat and death came back, the people of Kaifeng City were put in their hearts. Fortunately, his huge reputation and power were too unscrupulous. This year can be safe.

Not to mention ordinary people, even princes and ministers have to work hard for the New Year. Sun Yue and his family are naturally no exception. This is the first year they spent in the Song Dynasty.

At this time last year, most of the celebrations were stopped because of the mourning of Chai Rong. Before he could get back on the reversal, Zhao Kuangyin changed his dynasty. He really didn't see what the New Year was like.

Over the past year, their family's life has changed drastically. At this time last year, they just came here and they couldn't even have enough food. This year, with Zhao Guangyi's help, their family has already set up half of the street. The business is so booming, and they can earn hundreds of cents of income every day with their eyes closed. They are already the most powerful tycoon in Nancheng.

After changing into the newly prepared Shu brocade clothes, Sun Yue, Cao Jun, Cao Nier and others wished Cao's mother a happy New Year. Cao's mother took out a few broken cakes with a smile, and she seemed to have given them a few children. They had to kowtow and thank them.

Over the past year, Cao's mother's Alzheimer's disease became more and more serious. She became more and more confused when she was confused, and she became less and less when she was awake. She was wearing silk and satin, but sometimes she held a broken bowl and begged everywhere. From time to time, she would admit her mistakes. With the medical technology of the Song Dynasty, she had been alive for a few years, and the whole family was trying to make her happy as much as possible.

I went to Sun Chunming to pay New Year's greetings and received the official New Year's money. Everyone had a full silver. This was definitely a big deal for the children. Cao Jun was so happy that his nose was so snot soaked.

Now the relationship between the two families is more like the boss and the shopkeeper. Sun Chunming has almost no questions about business matters, and it is all Lao Cao who is doing it.

After the store expanded, it hired more than 20 people one after another, including stories, sings, operas and a variety of food, and has become the place where people in Nancheng are most happy to come when they are idle. Cao Ni'er and Cao Jun naturally no longer helped, but Sun Chunming was the one who was the one who was the one who was in charge of the real big thing.

Of course, there is usually no big deal in the store, so Sun Chunming usually doesn't care about anything, and Lao Fang's other side is similar.

It is rare for Sun Yue to stay at home and study. During the Chinese New Year, why don’t you let someone relax? It’s easy to be myopic if you don’t understand the combination of work and rest. The Northern Song Dynasty could not find a place to wear glasses, so he simply let himself go and started playing wildly with a group of naughty children.

The New Year during the Northern Song Dynasty was not much different from the financial difficulties of the future generations. New clothes, new shoes, and delicious food were the three major hopes. In addition, there were some New Year customs and other things. In the early Song Dynasty, there were gunpowder, which means that most people would lit firecrackers during the New Year, and bamboo talismans began to be replaced with paper, which was similar to the Spring Festival couplets in later generations.

But there is one thing that the naughty kids had a very happy event, which scared Sun Yue's face turned green, but it was a bad habit that no longer existed in later generations, called begging for what he wanted.

It is said that this Ru Wan is a maid with strong magic power that can satisfy people's wishes. Who knows why she, a god, is a maid. The so-called begging for a wish means making a small cotton man with cotton cloth and tied it with a rope to represent the maid called Ru Wan.

Then, throw this little cotton man into the dung pile and beat her, saying that the goddess of wish is shy and needs to hit her hard before she can come out, so that she can realize your New Year wish (begging for wish is not like this, but as it was passed down, it became like this among the people).

Therefore, the Chinese actually have no tradition of respecting gods. The ancients actually believed that if God beats God, God can realize their wishes. If he can't beat him, he will beat him into the shit.

What a fool I just wore new clothes, and I took a wooden stick to beat shit. How stupid can I do it? Even if this thing is not particularly smelly in winter, it is still shit after all! I struggled and wanted to run away, but Cao Ni'er held it down and insisted on him to beat him.

The child is a girl who grows up first, and Cao Ni'er is several years older than him. He can't break free for a while. The two of them are in a stalemate next to the dung pile, but they see Cao Jun running over crazy, holding a firecracker in his hand.

This kind of firecracker with gunpowder was only just emerging in the Northern Song Dynasty, so only wealthy families can afford it. This is the first time Cao Jun is playing with this old age, so he was particularly excited. He lit a firecracker and ran over with a big mouth and said, "Sister and Brother Yue dodge, I'll blow her out."

Sun Yue was so scared that she shouted: "Brother, don't be impulsive!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Cao Jun was extremely accurate and threw the firecracker into the pile of dung. Sun Yue and Cao Nier's faces changed completely on the spot and they ran away.

However, Cao Jun did not run away. Instead, he mocked Sister and Sun Yue for being timid, while thrusting his waist, grinning and laughing loudly.

After a while, a muffled sound was heard: "Puff~~"

During the Chinese New Year, Cao's army cried bitterly. He was killed by feces in the morning and beaten by Cao in the afternoon.

But these are all things that children play with, and the things that adults play with are very different from those in later generations.

Sun Yue waited, and was looking forward to it. Finally, Lao Fang came to pay New Year's greetings. When Sun Chunming was not paying attention, he rushed into his arms and said, "Uncle Fang, hurry up, take it to play."

Among the three adults in the family, this one is the least six. The so-called six is ​​called "no six", which means that only he will take Sun Yue to places that are not suitable for children. To be honest, Sun Yue is really not interested in playing a firecracker and a shuttlecock, but it is not suitable for children. He really wants to see it.
