离长安六十里外的一个山村,有一家人家,主人姓史,名逸如,曾在开元二十二年中过进士,却不愿在朝为官,未到中年,便回乡隐居,乡人敬他是个饱学君子,一早便来给他拜年。

他循俗与乡人互相贺喜一番,送客之后,却摇了摇头喟然微叹:“如此世道,何喜之有?”

“呜哇,呜哇!”房内传出小儿啼声,与噼噼啪啪的“爆竿”声闹成一片,史逸如脸上掠过一丝笑意,想道:“要说有喜,那就是从今天起,多添了一个婴孩,家中可以热闹一些了。

他吩咐阶前烧爆竿的书童:“你收了供品,给我拿四盒果品,到段大爷家去,并请他过来喝两杯。”心中颇为有点疑惑:“每年元旦,最早来拜年的必定是他,今年却何以这样迟迟未来?”

书童应了一声,却忽地笑道:“老爷,不必去请了,你瞧,那不是段大爷来了?”
