Retired Sword God: My Wife Is A Goddess Hunter

Chapter 29 Always Replace Old Talismans With New Ones



Lunar New Year's eve.

Usually refers to the last day of the lunar calendar.

"Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms. My husband is very talented in writing, and his calligraphy is unique!" Qin Hongluan couldn't help but applauded when she saw the couplet written by Su Han.

What is described is that posting Spring Festival couplets is a folk custom.

Spring couplets, also known as "door couplets" and "spring posts", represent good wishes for blessings and welcoming the spring. They are usually posted before the Spring Festival, and people choose to post them at the turn of the year on New Year's Eve.

As for the origin of Spring Festival couplets, they were first replaced by peach charms. At that time, people hung them beside the door to ward off evil spirits. Later, they were changed to painting the door god image on the peach wood, and finally simplified to inscribing the name of the door god on the peach wood board.

Su Han had studied calligraphy for a few years in his previous life. He didn't dare to be proficient in Shoujin Ti, but he still had some experience.

"Madam, if you want to learn, I will teach you." He put down the brush in his hand, carefully dried the ink, handed it to Lian'er, and put it on both sides of the door.

"Not interested." Are you kidding? Qin Hongluan could fall asleep while reading when she was a child. Now it is impossible for her to learn to write.

Lian'er was standing on a stool, posting newly written couplets at the door, when a slightly excited voice came from behind.

"Good calligraphy, good couplet!" Qin Chengan excitedly walked to the couplet and admired it carefully, as if looking at some rare treasure.

"Fifth Emperor...Fifth Master, you scared Lian'er to death. This is what my uncle just wrote. Don't touch it. What if the ink is stained?" Lian'er patted her well-developed chest and reminded her quickly. Qin Chengan, don't mess with the couplets.

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have such literary talent. If he didn't take the imperial examination..." Qin Cheng'an was halfway talking, and then he remembered the identity of Su Han's consort. Although the consort of Qian State could be an official, he could not hold important positions in charge of military and political power.

The main reason is to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, which is why many knowledgeable people are unwilling to become consorts.

Qin Chengan knew that Su Han's piano skills were superb, and the dean of Hanwen Academy personally asked him to teach him the piano skills. However, he did not expect that Su Han was so talented and this couplet implied poetry.

It's a pity that Su Han's status as consort is not worth winning over.

"Fifth Master is here for dinner, but the delicious food will have to wait until evening." Lian'er tilted her head and looked at Qin Chengan, who had a gloomy expression.

"You're a girl who knows how to eat. You have to attend the New Year's Poetry Festival today. Go and ask your eldest sister and brother-in-law to go out. It would be rude to be late." Qin Chengan sighed helplessly. He was afraid that the silly Lian'er wouldn't be able to take care of Qin Hongluan. .

Guangling City is very lively. Pedestrians can be seen everywhere on the streets. Many people will go to Jinshan Temple today to burn incense and pray for everything going well next year.

"Cheng'an, if you are not going back to the capital for the New Year, can you send a letter to inform your father and aunt?" It is not a trivial matter for the prince not to return to the capital for the New Year. Even if the father is ill in bed, there are still some rules that cannot be omitted.

"I not only informed my father and mother, but also informed my eldest brother by the way, and I am a little transparent at home. This family is the same with or without me." Qin Chengan looked very aggrieved, as if he had been bullied a lot at home.

When Su Han saw his brother-in-law's appearance, he had a general understanding of Qin Hongluan's family. It must be a big family with many rules and many brothers and sisters. Because his father-in-law was seriously ill, the sons began to fight openly and secretly.

Fortunately, in this era, women did not have the right to inherit, otherwise the brother-in-law in front of him might regard Qin Hongluan as his enemy.

"I think your skin is itchy. What does it mean to be the same without you?" Qin Hongluan grabbed Qin Chengan's ear. The last thing she wanted to see was her brother Ni Qiang. Since ancient times, many people would die in the struggle for imperial power.

Qin Chengan quickly begged for mercy, saying that he did not dare to say such things again. Qin Hongluan snorted before letting him go.

"Brother-in-law, you dare to marry the eldest sister of my Qin family. You are very brave. What secrets do you have? Can you teach me a thing or two?" Qin Chengan ran to Su Han, deliberately pushed Lian'er away, and muttered in a low voice.

"Ahem, there are no secrets. The most important thing for two people to get along is to be sincere, take care of each other, and be considerate..." Su Han gave Qin Chengan some popular science on how couples should get along after getting married.

But Qin Chengan obviously didn't believe it. In this era, men were respected, and Su Han would definitely submit to Qin Hongluan's force.

Meixiang Tower.

"Dean Han, long time no see!" Huangfuying's face showed no expression at all, like ice on the snow-capped mountains. The wide red cloak made her look a little lonely. There was a black iron token hanging on her waist. Engraved with the word "天".

The divine horse Hai Dongqing stood on Huangfuying's shoulder, his sharp eyes seemed to be looking for prey, and he was only waiting for his master's command, and he would pounce on the prey without hesitation.

"I didn't expect that Chief Huangfu would still remember me. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. I am about to be buried, but you have become a famous chief arrester." Han Kuangqing is a Confucian master and one of the highest-ranking elders in Confucianism. Xianfeng Taogu, although his beard is white, his face is ruddy and his eyes are bright, and he seems to be able to see into people's hearts.

Han Kuangqing followed two generations of emperors of the Qian Kingdom, and later lived in seclusion in Guangling City and opened an academy, ignoring the affairs of the court for many years.

No one dares to underestimate Han Kuangqing. After all, he has many students all over the world, and even the right prime minister Zhao Wuji is his disciple.

"Who dares to forget Dean Han's contribution to Da Qian? The fifth prince admires your "Policy Theory" very much and has expressed his desire to study under you many times." Huangfuying said tentatively.

"I like to live the life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes. I'm afraid the fifth prince is not used to it, so let's forget it?" After Han Kuangqing finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards the hall of Meixiang Tower. He was one of the judges invited by Chu Dieyi to judge the poems today.

Huangfuying stood there, a chill flashing in his dark eyes.

"No one can stay away from this struggle, and you are no exception." Huangfuying murmured to herself in a low voice, her voice quickly disappearing in the cold wind.

"I've seen the chief arrester." Qin Hongluan and his party came to Meixiang Tower and "happily" bumped into Huangfuying standing at the front door.

"I didn't expect that Qin Baotou would also come to participate in the poetry meeting?" Huangfuying had a spring breeze smile on his face. He knew Qin Hongluan's true identity, so naturally he did not dare to show off in front of the princess.

"Sure enough, just like the rumors, Tianzi's chief catchers are all top-notch masters!" Su Han's eyes quickly swept over Huangfuying.

"I came here with my husband and my fifth brother to have a look, and by the way, I can experience what the poems and songs of the literati are like." Qin Hongluan needs to hide his identity, and he must have the proper etiquette.

"Mr. Su is indeed a talented person." Huangfuying bowed her hands in greeting to Su Han.

"The chief catcher has received the award. It's just a false name. I used to hear about the chief catcher's deeds. It's true that being famous is not as good as meeting him." Su Han was a little flattered. Huangfuying was one of the four famous catchers in the capital. I'm afraid Prefect Zhou saw him. He always greets them with a smile, but he doesn't expect the other person to take the initiative to say hello to him first.

Are all people from the capital so polite?
