Rebirth: The little puppet emperor, tearing apart the regent with his own hands

Yu Wenzhang looked up and down, feeling something was wrong, until he looked at Su Qing's hair.

As Yu Wenwen's bodyguard, Su Qing, like everyone else, tied her hair into a bun with a hair tie, which looked simple and neat.

But after paired with the skirt, it looks a bit out of place.

"Where's the hairpin I bought for you before?" Yu Wenzhang asked.

When he took Su Qing to the temple fair before, Su Qing suddenly took off her hairband and tied the red ribbon used for blessing on the tree, causing Su Qing's disheveled hair to look very indecent.

So Yu Wenwen bought him a hairpin made of peach wood with a peach blossom engraved on it, which just matched today's skirt.

Su Qing said blankly: "What hairpin?"

Yu Wenwen said: "The hairpin with a peach blossom engraved on it that I bought at the temple fair, do you remember it?"

Su Qing shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

He had already thrown it away.

Yu Wenzhang sighed, secretly thinking that indeed nothing in the world is perfect.

Originally, today's skirt and peach blossom hairpin complemented each other perfectly, but the wooden hairpin was nowhere to be found.

"Come here." Yuwen said.

Su Qing walked over slowly and stood in front of Yu Wenzhang, with some confusion on his face. He didn't know what Yu Wenwen was going to do.

Yu Wenzhang stretched out his hand towards Su Qing, and Su Qing subconsciously took a step back.

Yu Wenwen said: "What are you hiding from? Come here and don't move."

Su Qing cautiously took a step forward and stood still.

Yu Wenzhang reached over and untied Su Qing's hair tie. Her long hair fell like a waterfall without any restraints and spread behind her.

Because she had been restrained for so long, her originally straight hair was slightly curly.

Yu Wenzhang used his fingers to comb Su Qing's hair, and then tied a bow with a hair tie near the end.

Yu Wenzhang looked away again, and then nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Su Qing was wearing a skirt, her hair was slightly disheveled, her eyebrows were lowered because of fear, and she seemed a bit shy. She looked like a peerless fairy who walked out of a painting.

Yu Wenwen pulled the cloak aside and put it on Su Qing to prevent him from freezing, and then put on his hood.

After doing all this, Yu Wenzhang said: "Let's go, I guess they are all impatient."

Su Qing nodded and followed Yu Wenwen out of the tent.

Everyone is waiting. According to the plan, they will strictly follow the procedures for welcoming the New Year, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, visit the graves of ancestors, etc., without missing a single person, so as to express their longing for their relatives in their hometown.

Yu Wenwen sat in the main seat, and Su Qing sat next to him, waiting for people from each battalion to come to pay New Year's greetings.

A bonfire was already lit in the open space in the middle of the event venue, and Zhang Liu took the time to have someone throw bamboos in.

Under the high temperature of the flame, the bamboo joints burst and made a "cracking" sound, like modern fireworks.

The war drums roared, and the sound was particularly exciting.

Parents from each camp lined up with their "wives", "children" and "brothers" to wish Yu Wenwen New Year.

With a smile on his face, Yu Wenwen waved for them to get up, then took the peach charms that had been prepared from Su Qing's hand and handed them to everyone.

The peach charms are divided into two parts. They are made of peach wood and are generally used to hang on the bedroom or at the door. One wrote "Shen Tu" and the other wrote "Yulei".

Shentu Yulei is said to be two divine generals. According to legend, there is a big peach tree on Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, with a trunk that bends and stretches for three thousand miles.

The branches extend all the way to the Ghost Gate in the northeast. The ghosts living in the cave below the Ghost Gate come in and out through this gate every day.

There are two divine generals under the tree, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei respectively, guarding the ghost gate.

Whenever these two god generals find evil spirits that harm people, they will tie them up with a net made of awnings and throw them to feed a tiger.

It is said that since the pre-Qin period, during every new year, people would use two peach boards six inches long and three inches wide to draw images of two god generals or inscribe their names, and hang them on the two sides of the door or bedroom door. On the side, it is used to suppress evil spirits, expel ghosts, and pray for blessings and good fortune. This is the peach charm.

In addition, ancient people would also paint the tiger that specializes in eating ghosts on the second door of their house, and there is a awning reed rope next to it, which was used by people to ward off evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, and pray for good fortune.

There is also a cloud rooster under the sacred tree. According to legend, this cloud rooster crows every morning to wake up all living things and at the same time wake up other roosters, symbolizing morning.

This custom has been passed down to this day. However, the poor in the army could not make such fine peach charms, so they just carved two plaques out of peach wood and wrote the names of the two divine generals.

The elders of each camp received peach charms and thanked Master Yuwen for his kindness. After returning home, they would hang them at the entrance of the tent to ward off disasters and pray for blessings.

This is to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households are always replacing old talismans with new peaches.

Su Qing sat next to Yu Wenwen. His huge cloak covered almost half of his face, only the lower half of his face was exposed. Others didn't dare to look up and take a closer look, so they could only take a look when saying thank you.

But even though it was just a glimpse, that small half of the face was enough to make people marvel!

The process of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new lasted until late at night. When the last battalion of people left, Su Qing secretly sighed. There were too many people.

After bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, it is time to visit the graves of ancestors.

Yu Wenzhang took the elders of each camp to the big earthen bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and symbolically took three sticks of incense. The elders of each camp, on behalf of everyone in the camp, put incense on the tomb bag. Worship ancestors.

Everyone watched this scene with tears in their eyes. At this moment, in everyone's eyes, there were different people in the grave, but one thing was the same, there were relatives they couldn't let go of.

Then Zhang Liu said: "The ancestor worship begins, kowtow!"

The camp was immediately filled with darkness and a large area of ​​people knelt down. Everyone had pious eyes and solemn expressions.

Some for their families, some for themselves, silently made good wishes for the coming year...

The soldiers on duty today stood in the cold wind, listening to the sound of war drums and firecrackers coming from far away in the camp, their eyes full of envy.

"The shift is about to begin, just hold on..."

Each of them said this to themselves to suppress their inner feelings that were about to fly away.

Midnight has arrived.

The soldiers who came to take turns have already arrived on the city wall.

"How's it going?" asked the newly arrived soldier.

"It's still a confrontation. Look, nothing has changed. I guess they also work in shifts, hey!" This was the answer from the previous soldiers.

The soldiers who came for duty took a look and suddenly frowned.

The soldier who was on duty before asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

"That's not right. Do you feel that the distance between them and us has shortened a lot?" the man said with a frown.
