Chinese Almanac Master

Chapter 25 The Lantern Festival

After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the lively festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year has almost dissipated. Most of the workers have started their busy work with the laziness brought about by a holiday, and many children who are still in school are desperately trying to make up for themselves. The winter vacation homework that didn't move at all.This atmosphere of being about to wake up from the long winter gave the whole city a revived vigor, and the only one who still maintained a certain degree of laziness was Xiao Nanzhu, who was alone.

The two big deals of Li Mao and Zhang Chi made him his first pot of gold in Huang Lishi's business. With the help of Situ Zhang and Cao Chong, more people called him from time to time to inquire about the situation. , because it is also the age of the Internet, and everything spreads quickly on the Internet, so after thinking about it, Xiao Nanzhu still felt that he needed to keep up with the times, so he took the time to apply for a Weibo official account for himself, and waited for the registration After he was done, he took the time to understand this fancy thing that these young people love to play nowadays, and when he finally understood something, he sat in front of the desktop computer that had just installed broadband, thinking for a long time Xiao Nanzhu, with a cigarette in his mouth. I just made a small advertisement and put it on the top of Weibo.

@黄历师老晓V:

Get married, give birth to a funeral, give birth to a child, exorcise evil spirits, ask questions about evil spirits, and have any questions about traditional customs and taboos, you can leave a message or @, for door-to-door service and business cooperation, please direct private messages (づ ̄3 ̄)づ

After the Weibo was registered, there were not many fans following him at the beginning. Xiao Nanzhu summed up the origins of the customs and stories of the day's customs and predictions of fortune and misfortune of the calendar gods who went to work one by one every day into a long Weibo. , It was posted about a week ago, and netizens who discovered him came to pay attention to this popular science po master. Every day, they waited for him to popularize a lot of common sense about the auspicious and auspicious things of this day, like the common sense of popular science constellations. Tian Xiao Nanzhu has gained four thousand followers, but Mr. Xiao Nanzhu, who does not know that he will become one of the Internet celebrity marketing accounts in the future, has no feeling for this. After all, compared to these, he actually loves money What he hopes more is actually more door-to-door business.

After the first day of junior high school, he also received some jobs one after another. Compared with the bleakness of years ago, he now has a fixed income every day.Maybe it's because there are so many calendar gods wandering around him one by one, so Xiao Nanzhu feels that his luck in this aspect has improved a lot, and he doesn't feel much old injuries from some missions before.On the night of New Year's Eve, when I was about to get off work, taking advantage of the Spring Festival that the boy left early, I told him about the incident on Binjiang Road. After killing all the descendants of the bastard, Xiao Nanzhu first squinted his eyes, then took a puff of cigarette, nodded and said,

"Well, this kind of ghost should be killed, but Jing Zhe has been hibernating for the past few days. When he wakes up, I will take some time to completely destroy that dirty thing. You have worked hard, and the next year will be good." Take a rest and see you next year."

Xiao Nanzhu's words made New Year's Eve feel relieved. He originally thought that Xiao Nanzhu would be dissatisfied with his brutal behavior of wanton killing, but it seemed that he didn't mean that, which made New Year's Eve already eaten away by darkness. There was some unspeakable secret joy in his heart that was riddled with holes, and the fact that he was willing to reconcile with him during the Spring Festival today also made him feel a little relieved, but when he heard the phrase Xiao Nanzhu himself said goodbye in the coming year At that time, a kind of inexplicable irritability still surged in my heart on New Year's Eve.

This kind of negative emotion came very suddenly, and it was even more unreasonable than the soaring killing intent before. After all, after slaughtering those insects and snakes, he was not affected much. Both Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Nanzhu were taken aback, but right after Xiao Nanzhu said those words, an indescribable depression began to appear on his gloomy and pale face. The evil spirits were about to explode, and at this moment, New Year's Eve saw Xiao Nanzhu's embarrassing traces of the candied haws that he had forced to eat just now at the corner of his mouth.

"There, there is sugar."

The gloomy words on New Year's Eve caused Xiao Nanzhu, who didn't know why, to raise his hand subconsciously, but somehow he just couldn't wipe off the trace completely.Seeing this, New Year's Eve narrowed his red eyes, and for some reason there was a hint of sinister and evil intent on his face in the dark, and after he approached Xiao Nan forcefully, he roughly replaced Xiao Nan with his fingers. Zhu wiped off the red sugar stain on the corner of his lips, and before Xiao Nanzhu could react, he put his finger into his mouth and licked it clean with his tongue.

At that moment, there was always an indescribable obscenity between the two of them, the atmosphere was even more ambiguous than the previous skin-to-skin contact, Xiao Nanzhu, who had just returned from the outside, was still somewhat sleepy, seeing this The situation immediately turned cold, he knew that he was ill again on New Year's Eve, but there was always an indescribable evil fire in his heart, and what made him suffocate was that before he could express anything, the zero o'clock was here, playing tricks The rogue New Year's Eve immediately disappeared in front of him.

Because of this matter, Xiao Nanzhu didn't sleep well for several nights, and it took him three or four days to forget about the appearance of that monster and scourge, but there was still something wrong in his heart.In the past few days of the first month of the lunar year, he has regular business visits to his door, all of which he had contacted with him years ago, some of them asked him to come to dispel evil spirits, and some of them violated taboos and fell in love with evil spirits.Because Chinese people have their own set of taboos and customs during the period from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year. There is an old saying that the second day returns to the door, the third day is full of sleepiness, the fourth day asks God, the fifth day separates, and the sixth day breaks Fat; the seventh and seventh days are finished, the eighth day is complete, the ninth day is a public birth, the tenth day has food, the eleventh invites the son-in-law, the twelfth checks that a certain son comes back to worship, the thirteenth eats dark rice with mustard greens, the fourteenth knots the lamp shed, The custom of Yuanming on the fifteenth day.

At first glance, these things are outdated and old things, but they are all summed up by the ancestors through long-term life experience. Unfortunately, people nowadays are less and less particular about things, and they don’t take back some taboo things of the older generation. In the past few days, Xiao Nanzhu has encountered the most people who have suffered from the evil of the New Year because of this New Year's taboo.

@朱丽丽123

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, our family ate porridge for lunch. My mother-in-law in my hometown found out and scolded me and my husband on the phone. May I ask the calendar teacher, did I commit some old taboo? @黄历师老晓

I received this @ on my phone when I got up in the morning. Xiao Nanzhu yawned and opened the reply interface to type. Because this involves some old taboos that people basically don't know now, so I forwarded the reply. At that time, he gave a popular science by the way.

@黄历师老晓:

You can't eat porridge during the first month, and you will be poor for a year if you eat porridge on the first day of the new year.Old people often say that after eating porridge, it will rain when you go out in the first month, so remember to bring an umbrella when you go out o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ

Soon after posting this post, some people left messages on Weibo. Some said that my god is really uplifting. Teacher Li received my worship, while others said that he was just playing tricks. This has no scientific basis at all, Xiao Nanzhu Without looking carefully, Wu Zi got up to wash and make breakfast. When he was wrapped in a big padded jacket and ready to go to the kitchen to make something, he suddenly saw a girl with a slim figure and a straight body in lilac silk. The figure was already cooking breakfast with its back on its back.

"Master Li, good morning, today is the Lantern Festival, and I am Yuanxiao."

The pink face is set against the peach blossoms on the temples. Yuan Xiao is the first female calendar god to appear so far. The pretty appearance and euphemistic temperament that resembles a girl are extremely pleasing to look at.In the folklore of the Lantern Festival, there was a folk story about Dongfang Shuo setting up a trick to reunite a court lady named Yuanxiao with her family. Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty designated the fifteenth day of Shangyuan as the Lantern Festival.Because the name was named as a festival, and then it became a national celebration, which was followed for several generations. Therefore, the court lady Yuanxiao who was good at cooking glutinous rice balls stayed in the old calendar after her death and became a real god in the true sense.

Xiao Nanzhu didn't expect that she would come so early. After all, these calendar gods in the first month are lazy one by one, and he is used to it. At this time, he greeted the Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival also responded gracefully. Next, and when Xiao Nanzhu came to her side, he saw that she was actually cooking a pot of glutinous rice balls that made people greedy just looking at them.

"Yo, what's all this stuffing?"

Immediately asked curiously, the smell of glutinous rice balls is indeed quite fragrant, and Xiao Nanzhu is a sweet eater, so he naturally thought it was a traditional flavor such as osmanthus and sesame seeds, but when Yuanxiao heard the words, his lips parted, and his lips were lively. His big eyes flashed suddenly, and then he said with a sweet smile in his crisp voice,

"I'm tired of eating the old flavors every year, so this year I've come up with some new flavors~ This is stuffed with chives and eggs, this is stuffed with chocolate beef, and stuffed with red bean paste and tomatoes, Mr. Li... Do you want to eat it first? Which o(*////▽////*)q?"

Xiao Nanzhu: "..."
