Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Have No Way Forward Chapter 7 New Year's Festival

Yao Bogong stood under the porch, looking up at the snow falling heavier and heavier with his hands behind his back, as if he had something in mind.

The phantom slave hunched his back, clasped his hands and came to Lao Yao's back with a frosty face, and couldn't help but raise his head and look into the air when he saw Lao Yao's strange appearance.

Lao Yao suddenly felt that there was someone on the side, and suddenly turned his head to look, and saw a hunched person, looking at the sky in a very strange posture, and suddenly said angrily: "You fool, what are you doing next to me silently?"

The phantom slave replied with a hippie smile: "Steward Yao, a group of people from the palace came outside, saying that it had been snowing heavily for many days, and it was freezing cold, and they sent some silver charcoal to our master, as well as several delicious wines and delicacies, saying that it was for us to have a good Spring Festival tonight." ”

Lao Yao snorted coldly and said, "The palace won't let us in, just send things to us." I really don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in this Changshan King's gourd. ”

The phantom slave scratched his head and pretended to be confused and said, "Yes, you said that our master has gone three times to ask to meet the king of Changshan, but people just can't shirk it." Fortunately, the number of gifts and various supplies have not been left behind. ”

Lao Yao turned around and said to the phantom slave: "Yesterday, I heard that the master's family meant that everyone had worked hard all the way in the past few months, and wanted a few girls to have a good holiday. You hurry up and take a good look at what else you want to buy and purchase, and you don't need to think about the price. “

The phantom slave happily replied, "The little one must let the master's family live this festival comfortably." Although the little one used to be only responsible for raising horses and driving in the Yanguo Palace, the little one did the best work, but this job was purchased!"

Lao Yao saw that he was starting to brag again, so he interrupted him impatiently: "Raising horses and driving cars is still your main task, since you want to stay with Gongzi for a long time, do the work assigned to you well!"

The phantom slave smiled and said, "What Steward Yao said is very true, the little one will do something." ”

Before night fell, there were already wealthy businessmen in Changshan City who began to set off fireworks, and everyone gathered in a circle to make dumplings in the kitchen under Zhuo Hua's proposal. The sound of crackling firecrackers and steaming dumplings made the New Year's atmosphere come out immediately.

Zhuo Hua's face was full of joy, slightly drunk, and he held a small glass of wine in his hand and said to everyone present: "Today is the New Year together, and we are very happy." The New Year in this world is so interesting!"

Lao Yao hurriedly covered it up and said: "Hehe, this Chinese New Year is to drink wine and eat meat dumplings, of course, it would be more beautiful if there was a big red envelope from the son!haha!"

Zhuo Yun had been keeping her head down and was busy dealing with all kinds of delicacies, and when she heard the word red envelope, she hurriedly raised her head, looked around, and said, "Where is the red envelope?"

Su Xin squinted at her pair of Danfeng eyes, looked at Zhuo Yun first, and then flew a glance at Zhuo Hua, and motioned for Zhuo Yun to ask Zhuo Hua for it.

Zhuo Yatou held a chicken leg in her hand, and asked Su Xin in a daze, "Sister Su, what are you squeezing your eyes at me?"

Qin Ying really couldn't stand it anymore, so she spread her palms to Zhuo Hua and said, "Since everyone is so happy, do you want to show it?"

Zhuo Yun suddenly stood up and suddenly realized: "Oh~ Sister Su, it turns out that you want me to ask my brother for a red envelope!"

Everyone laughed, Lao Yao pointed to Xiao Yu'er, and looked at Su Xin, who was covering his face and shaking his head, and smiled backwards.

Zhuo Hua also laughed, stood up and said to everyone: "What about the red envelope! I don't have it on me! But what, I told Lao Yao to get ready! In addition, I have also prepared the largest red envelope, whoever can eat a dumpling with a copper coin tonight can..."

Before the words fell, only Zhuo Yun heard a sigh, and everyone looked at her in unison, only to see Zhuo Yun reach out and take out a yellow copper coin from his mouth, covering his cheeks and shouting pain.

The sound of laughter, fireworks outside the house, and the sound of snow making for a wonderful and moving Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it is sunny.

After hearing the snow, Changshan Castle has a unique thickness in the Central Plains, and not long after dawn, the servants of the post house began to sweep away the snow in the courtyard.

Qin Ying got up early, and as soon as the phantom slave had finished adding the grass in the stable, she had already finished dressing up.

As soon as she came out of the moon gate, she met Su Xin, and Qin Ying saw that she was also dressed up, so she joked: "Sister Su, I don't know which son is blessed to invite you to the Lantern Festival today?"

Su Xin pursed her lips and said, "Naturally, it's not our son-in-law, everyone knows that in order to save me, the son-in-law promised you this year's Shangyuan Festival." ”

Qin Ying was in a good mood today, she didn't pay attention to Su Xin's words with a gun, she only said a word about coming back earlier, and then left abruptly.

When I came to Zhuo Hua's courtyard, I saw that the door was still closed, and I thought that Zhuo Hua and Lao Yao had been drinking again last night. I looked up and saw that the sun had not climbed high, so I tightened my ochre red and white hair, and sat in the courtyard waiting for Zhuo Hua to come out.

After a while, the door creaked open. Zhuo Hua's white face was like jade, and he walked into the courtyard with a Xuanyu scarf, and saw Qin Ying sitting at the stone table, looking at the sky with one hand and his head. Zhuo Hua looked at her carefully, Haozhu Mingchai, lightly applied powder, condensed skin and reflected snow, which was very good-looking.

"You're so early!" Zhuo Hua called.

Qin Ying hurriedly turned her head when she heard this, and when she saw that it was Zhuo Hua, she smiled: "Zhuo Hua, what day is today?"

Zhuo Hua thought for a little and said, "Today, isn't it the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"What kind of day is that?" Jing Mu was a little anxious.

"It's the Shangyuan Festival!" Zhuo Hua said.

Qin Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do on the Yuan Festival?"

"Shangyuan Festival! Enjoy the lanterns!" Zhuo Hua said as he walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Ying hurriedly got up and grabbed the sleeve of his robe and said, "Don't play dumb riddles!" You promised me that you would go to the Yuan Lantern Festival with me today, but you are not allowed to deny it. ”

Zhuo Hua stopped, pretending to suddenly realize: "It turns out that there is still this thing! ”

Qin Ying's anger came from it, and she stretched out her hand and wanted to fight. Zhuo Hua raised his hand and grabbed her hand, and said again and again: "The palace master raises his noble hand and has something to say." Why does the girl's family like to add fists and kicks at every turn!"

Qin Ying put away her fists and replied, "Don't you just like this tune?"

The two of them walked to the antechamber laughing and laughing, while everyone else was having breakfast. Zhuo Yun beckoned the two of them and said, "Brother, sister, get up! Let's go out and have fun after eating! ”

Just as he was using the morning, Lao Yao came over and whispered to Zhuo Hua: "Yuanjun, there is news from Xiangguo's Mansion." ”

Zhuo Hua nodded and continued to eat. But he quietly passed the voice into the secret to Lao Yao and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Yao was startled at first, but he calmed down randomly, and replied: "The news just sent by the White Tiger Palace, the usefulness of the white fur has been found, and the national teacher surnamed Yuan transported many silver fox skins and snow dog skins to the northwest of Huaxu Kingdom, where there is the nest of the Sun Worship Sect. ”

Zhuo Hua's brows frowned slightly, and his mouth paused to eat. Qin Ying leaned over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Zhuo Hua?"

Zhuo Hua smiled at her, shook his head and continued to eat.

Lao Yao continued to transmit the sound: "They sent the fur over and made it into a helmet. ”

"Helmet?" Zhuo Hua asked.

"Yes, helmets indeed. Lao Yao replied.

"Are you sure you only have a helmet and not an armor?" Zhuo Hua was a little nervous.

Lao Yao thought for a moment and replied, "The ministers specially confirmed the two sides with the messenger, and indeed only said that they were made helmets, and nothing else. ”

Zhuo Hua's heart became more and more worried, so he sent a message to Lao Yao: "Come with me to Huaxu Kingdom tonight to explore their lair." ”

Lao Yao was taken aback, stretched out two fingers and asked, "Just the two of us?" The voice was very loud, and the people around him stopped to look at him and Zhuo Hua.

Zhuo Hua coughed lightly and nodded. He put down the food in his hand, wiped his mouth, got up and left.

Qin Ying asked Lao Yao puzzledly, "What are you two going to do?"

Su Xin also came to Lao Yao's side, sniffed in a circle for a while, and said a few words: "The smell of conspiracy." ”
