This is Su You's first time celebrating the New Year in a foreign country. Although he has no worries about food and clothing, his mood is still a bit complicated.

After all, the people who have the deepest feelings for him are all in Meishan and Chengdu.

He also lived alone in his previous life. Because he had no worries, he was not lonely.

This life is completely different. This is a change in my state of mind.

What he was most grateful to was that God allowed him to experience the taste of love in this life.

The bell of Daxiangguo Temple rang, and with the sound of the bell, the sound of firecrackers in the alley also rang.

Su You was actually an atheist. At this moment, he clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly for the people he cared about.

I heard someone rushing in from the yard: "Mingrun hasn't gone to bed yet? Twenty-seventh mother has given birth!"

…

Spring has arrived in the fifth year of Jiayou's reign. The upper reaches of the Yellow River thawed, and the spring floods quickly flowed downstream from the river carrying ice.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Kaifeng Prefecture was closed for three days.

Everyone gets up early to congratulate each other. Even the poorest people have to put on clean clothes, buy some cheap mead to treat each other, and invite each other to go out and gamble happily.

You can see it as soon as you go out.

Vendors put all kinds of goods, food, tools, fruits, and firewood on the stalls, and the sound of "guanpu" was heard all the way.

There are many ways to play. The most common one is tossing copper coins. The front side of a copper coin is called "Zi" and the back side is called "Pure". Throwing a group of copper coins with all the back sides is called "Hunchun". Usually there are six coins, which is called "Liuchun".

, if the odds are higher, use ten pieces, which is called "Ten Pure".

Of course, ordinary brooms with green onion and ginger can also be used to shut down the game, and this two-pure and three-pure one can also be played.

If the buyer wins, he gets his bet back and gets the product for free; if he loses, the bet goes to the seller.

The rules are very simple. The two parties must first agree on the price of the product, such as a bottle of fine wine. The value is always the same.

Then they agree on the number of coins to be thrown. For example, if both parties agree on three coins, then they throw three copper coins. The probability of winning is that Ying and Shi Dongxiu immediately start building the cement road from Meishan to Lingjing. The two old men are ready to let people ride for free.

That is to allow the workers on the mausoleum to go into the city to consume.

The cart passed through Panlou Street and Zhouxi Liangmen, and there were colorful sheds all the way. The merchants in the sheds displayed crowns and combs, pearls, hair and face, clothes, flowers, collars, boots and shoes. These are all valuable things.

, is the big head of Guan Pu.

The level of consumption has changed. Gambling products here require small silver plates as gambling capital, called "wat". In addition to products, there is also naked money gambling, with the highest odds being as high as one wat to thirty wat.

Things that are easy to gain are the easiest to lose, so around the dance halls, dance halls and singing halls are where the news comes. The rewards given by the winners to the beautiful stars are comparable to the tycoons in the live broadcast studios of later generations.

Shi Tong introduced: "In the evening, even women from wealthy families will come over. There is no distinction between men and women. They all enter the venue, enjoy the gambling, and then go to the market for a banquet. It is a custom, and the custom of Bianjing is better than that of Bianjing.

We in Meishan are enlightened.”

Passing by the embassy area, foreigners were also decorating with lanterns and festoons. Many teams were wearing colorful national costumes, practicing ceremonies or archery, making final preparations for the Zhengdan Dynasty.

Su You watched with great interest while imagining what his nephew looked like.

He couldn't remember the name of this child in history.

He only knows that twenty-seven mothers can give birth to seven, or eight?

When the carriage arrived at Deyiqiu Gate, everyone got off the carriage, and Su You saw a servant girl coming out with a plate.

In the middle of the plate is a painted pot, with a bunch of millet stalks at the bottom, covered with brocade, flowers and grasses on the edge, and a circle of paper-cut patterns of five men and two women.

Next to it are two plates of steamed buns and a circle of noodles made of lying sheep and lying deer.

Su You was about to reach out for the noodle sheep: "What is this?"

The messenger hurriedly got out of the way: "Hey, my young master, please don't move. This is called a pain sharing basin. The stalks represent many children, the grass represents a smooth delivery, the steamed buns represent the baby's health and fatness, and the sleeping sheep and the deer represent a peaceful birth."

"Now that the child is born, these things are no longer needed. The old woman has to give them to the neighbors to express her gratitude."

At this time, the neighbors also came to the door, bringing rice, millet, vinegar, charcoal, and cloth. Not one of them was empty-handed, but it made Su You stand out because they all didn't bring gifts.

The twenty-seventh mother gave birth to a child safely, but she is still resting and cannot be seen.

After three days of navel moxibustion on the fontanel, it is called "one wax" for seven days, and it will not come out until the full moon has been bathed for a while.

So I came here today just to inquire about it and express my congratulations to Su Zhe.

Fish in Bianjing are expensive in winter, so Su You had already raised a large stone tank of crucian carp. He built a chicken coop in the yard and bought more than ten hens to fatten inside to ensure his mother's nutrition.

In the past, supplementation could not be done randomly. If the fetus was too large, it would be dangerous and abnormal these days.

Su Che came up and held his hands: "Uncle Yao is here..."

Su You asked: "How much does the child weigh? How is Twenty-Seven Mother?"

Su Che was still a little dazed and frightened: "It's all good, seven pounds and two taels, but I was still frightened all night. Do you think it's strange, the twenty-seventh mother wants to eat pickled cabbage and frog soup again..."

Su You was speechless: "I can get carp and crucian carp, but where can I get frogs for her in this winter? Let's fool her with pickled cabbage and eel soup first... I'm just waiting for my child to watch the fun for a hundred days.

…”

…

The weather in Bianjing is getting warmer and warmer, the willow trees are sprouting, and I heard from Su Shi that all kinds of flowers are blooming in the suburbs, which is really lively.

However, these had nothing to do with Su You, as he continued to study and answer questions.

More and more scholars came to Beijing. After listening to Su Shi's loud mouth and knowing that the Su family had rented a courtyard opposite Gongyuan, many related households moved in.

Even those who did not take exams moved in.

For example, Zhang Dun and Zhang Kai.

Needless to say, Zhang Dun, this kid is just angry at Suyou. He thought his nephew was better than him in the first exam. He re-took the exam last year and got first, first and fifth, just like a sergeant picking up casually.

By doing this, Zhang Dun gained an inexplicable advantage. He was the only one in the history of scientific examinations to have two rankings in the same year.

Zhang Dun was bold and courageous by nature, so he and Su Shi, who was cheerful and open-minded, were as good as wearing a pair of trousers.

This kid was already waiting for election, so he came to Suyou early to stay in order to occupy a position for his clan brother Zhang Kai.

Although Zhang Dun and Su Shi fell in love and killed each other all their lives, to be honest, Su You had no objection to him.

As long as someone sincerely does practical things for the Song Dynasty and contributes to alleviate the decline of the Song Dynasty, no matter how disgusting his character and temper are, Su You will hardly feel disgusted.

Like Wang Shao and Mr. Fan, such people were too scarce in the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Kai also came to Beijing a few days ago. Everyone took out the articles to compare and exchange them. Su You was immediately impressed by the Zhang family's family education.

This boy's articles are even better than Zhang Dun's, and he can compete with Zhang Heng, the number one scholar who defeated Er Su.

Su You couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Could it be that the Zhang family couldn't be defeated by just one champion?
