Chapter 832 Chinese New Year
"Felix, how can you say that I am also your cousin-in-law, is it too much for you to say this?" said a man next to him with a frown.
"Okay, Cousin Elton, don't so many of you still haven't thought of where the breaking point is?" Felix put down the wine glass in his hand and tidied up his clothes: "There are only three breaking points I can think of, first, how to deal with Dahl, second, Aunt Caroline's attitude, and third, the compensation that satisfies Xiao Peng." I'll leave it at that, and the rest will be up to you to do it yourself. β
The Luxembourg royal family and the Monaco royal family have always maintained this very good relationship, and it is not surprising that Felix knows the attitude of Xiao Peng's side through Princess Caroline.
After saying that, Felix turned around and was about to leave, and everyone hurriedly asked, "Felix, where are you going?"
"Me?" Felix grinned, "Luxembourg has officially sent a note to Huaxia to pay an official visit to Huaxia, and of course I, as a prince, will go with my father." I don't want to say anything, I'm obviously begging for someone, and I'm still waiting at home one by one, what are you doing? Waiting for Xiao Peng to come to Europe to treat you? How arrogant are you people? Tsk, if you are not afraid of God's opponent, you are afraid of pig teammates! If you are not afraid of God's opponent, you are afraid of pig teammates!"
Felix walked out as he walked, and suddenly stopped when he reached the door: "I'm confident that I can solve this problem, but what about you? if there are no accidentsγγγγγγ At this point, Felix paused and pointed at Dahl: "He is the key point for you to break the game! β
Felix left the villa without looking back, and the rest of the room looked at each other, but their eyes were more or less fixed on Dahl.
Felix is right, if they want to break the game, the most critical place is really on Dahl. After all, the identity is not the same.
They say that they are nobles and say that they are relatives, but Felix is the Prince of Luxembourg, the crown prince of Luxembourg, and the next Grand Duke of Luxembourg!
Money? They wanted to find Xiao Peng to send money, but they couldn't contact him! So what could they rely on? That must make Xiao Peng angry!
How do you get him angry? Then he must be stabbed at Dahl!
"What the hell do you mean by that? Isn't it possible that if others don't do anything, we can't get up to the civil strife first?" At the back of the crowd, an old man who had been sitting for a long time without speaking suddenly spoke, his head full of pale hair, and his face was not angry and arrogant. He didn't say a word in such an argument just now, but now he suddenly spoke.
Many young people in the venue fell silent when they saw him speak, but a middle-aged woman next to him laughed.
"Lady Mary, what are you laughing at?" the white-haired old man looked dissatisfied.
The middle-aged woman looked at the white-haired old man and nodded slightly as a salute: "Duke Galabria, I'm laughing at something else." β
It turned out that the old man was none other than Dahl's father, the Duke of Galabria of Da Pear. When he saw that things were getting a little out of control and everyone wanted to target Dahl, he spoke up.
The Duke of Galabria frowned and said, "At this juncture, what else can make you laugh?"
Lady Mary smiled slightly: "I was thinking, when the Chinese people exposed everyone's privacy that day, which two privacy were the most terrible, but I thought about it for a while, one is that my sister is pregnant with her own brother's child, and the other is that the child is not related to his father, I am thinking, which one is more unacceptable?"
The whole audience came to their senses, and none of them were fools, so why didn't they understandβwhat Mary meant by that? Is this a reason to imply Dahl's murderγγγγγγ?
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Dahl, including the Duke of Galabria, Dahl was stunned: "Why do you think of me like this! That's all that Chinese guy talking nonsense! Don't you believe me but him?"
γγγγγγ
And in China, unlike Europe, there is a lot of joy here, after all, it's the New Year!
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Narnia clapped desperately.
Suddenly, it snowed heavily for several days, making this year even more festive.
This is quite rare in Kotoshima, where it is difficult to have such a large amount of snow in winter.
Yang Meng sent a truckload of all kinds of fireworks------- it's really not an exaggeration, it's really a truckload of fireworks!
Narnia has never seen fireworks in Kangaroo Country, and this time in Huaxia for the New Year, she must have had enough fun, and she has been studying for more than two hours, and Narnia's little hands are almost swollen.
Yali and the others were building snowmen on the side, and Yali turned out to be a master of building snowmen!
But looking back, I can understand that people's hometowns are full of snow in winter, so what can I do without building a snowman when I am idle?
They don't understand customs like watching the Spring Festival Gala very well, and they don't understand why Chinese people are willing to watch it like this, uhγγγγγγ 'Rigid' entertainment.
It's not the same when they perform at the Chinese high school art showγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng could only explain to them that this was an annual literary and artistic performance for the entire country of China. Although they can't understand the jokes and cross talk in it, and they don't think those singing and dancing performances are exciting, it doesn't mean that they don't join in the fun.
The crackling firecrackers rang off for half a night, and several people were eating dumplings, when suddenly You Mei sighed, took out a coin from her mouth, and looked at everyone stupidly.
Mom smiled: "That's a good sign, Yumi, you're going to get rich this year." β
"Huh?" You Mei's Chinese is very rotten, I don't know what my mother means, Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "This is our Chinese custom, if you eat coins in dumplings, you will get rich in the new year." β
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and Yali asked, "Is it also a custom to eat dumplings tonight?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "This is our custom in northern China, many southerners do not live in the New Year, or they don't attach as much importance to the Spring Festival as northerners." In fact, according to the custom, this dumpling can not be eaten until 12 o'clock in the morning, which is called 'Shou Sui', and we eat dumplings early, is that because Narnia has to go to bed early. β
"Keeping the year?" said Ally, hearing an unfamiliar term.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "To put it bluntly, it is to stay up late, and do not sleep at night in the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is called keeping the year." In Chinese mythology, there is a mythical beast called 'Nian', which will eat people and cause destruction on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but 'Nian' is afraid of sound and fire, and you see firecrackers outside. It's just to drive away the Year Beast. Some people say that the vigil is to avoid the 'year', some people say that it is to commemorate the grandmother of the stove king, and not to forget her kindness, but in any case, this is a custom that has been practiced for thousands of years. It turned out that everyone sat together as a family and chatted all night, but now it's okay, and there is a Spring Festival Gala for everyone to watch. β
Jimma walked down from upstairs: "Narnia slept, this little guy, the first time she heard the sound of firecrackers, she couldn't sleep excitedly, and finally put on a headset for her, and fell asleep directly, she was too tired to play today." What other customs are there?"
"It's nothing, that is, everyone eats a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, the first year of junior high school changes into new clothes, and then the elders give the children money for the year." New Year's greetings between family and friends. Xiao Peng said.
"What do you mean?" "Yali was eating dumplings there, and it seemed that she wanted to eat a coin.
Xiao Peng explained: "This legend can suppress evil spirits. Because 'year' and 'zhen' are homophonic, the younger generation can spend a year peacefully when they get the money to press the year, and it also symbolizes that there is money all year round, and the Chinese people talk about everything with colorful heads, just like this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must have fish in it, which means 'there is more than every year'. It's also a good implication. β
Speaking of this, Xiao Peng shrugged: "I remember that I came here when I was a child, and at that time, the Chinese New Year was really the happiest thing for us children, and everyone lived in the compound at that time. All the old neighbors are old acquaintances who know the roots, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, all the children put on new clothes early in the morning and go door-to-door to 'New Year's greetings', oh, this 'New Year's greeting' is very similar to your Halloween, the family will prepare candy for the children who come to the New Year's greetings to eat. At that time, there was a taste of the New Year, but now? People live in high-rise buildings, and their neighbors are not familiar with it. β
My mother laughed: "Anyway, when it comes to the New Year, the candies and dried fruits that should be prepared still have to be prepared." I'm sure there will still be people coming to pay New Year's greetings!"
Xiao Peng pouted: "You said that my second uncle and their family, don't come to disgust me, okay?"
Mom shook her head: "Can the fierce son not come?"
"Oh, he's definitely coming!" Xiao Peng smiled.
Mom said, "Yali, Jima, Yumei, if you feel tired, just go to bed early." But when she said that, her expression definitely didn't think so.
Really. Yali shook her head and said, "Auntie, we're not sleepy anyway, otherwise how about playing mahjong together?" Listening to her proposal, the eyes of the four women on the scene lit up together. I didn't care about eating Chinese New Year's Eve, so I went directly to the second floor to play mahjong, where there was an electric mahjong table.
Xiao Peng covered his face, this mahjong is worthy of being the quintessence of China, and it is really popular.
Everyone knows that in addition to the Chinese people, the Japanese people are very fond of playing mahjong. In fact, the people of the Stars and Stripes are also very fond of playing mahjong, in 1937, the birth of the Stars and Stripes Mahjong Alliance, not long after the establishment of the Alliance, the alliance was held, when there were 200 Jewish women to participate in the meeting, and now it has become the most influential mahjong organization in the Stars and Stripes. More and more mahjong enthusiasts are getting involved. There is a national tour of mahjong every year, as well as a large number of round-robin tournaments and tournaments.
However, the mahjong rules of the Stars and Stripes are not the same as those of Huaxia, and if you see the people of the Stars and Stripes playing mahjong, they will often find that they have a card in front of them, which records a variety of winning rules.
If you want to win, you have to meet the rules on the card! And their mahjong league changes the mahjong rules card every year to list new combinations of mahjong that score and win. They say it's to keep the game interesting.
But in Xiao Peng's view, this is more like a pit for money, because such a card costs nine dollars!
And their mahjong rules are really different from Huaxia mahjong, they are easier to tie because they have eight 'joker' cards, which is what we call bastards. And in addition to 'touching' and 'kong', they also have five identical cards and six identical cards, such as four kongs, you add the bastard on the beam together with the 'kong', that is, six!
This Nima's rules are absolutely wonderful. So it's really not good to don't have that little card for nine dollars!
But in Huaxia, you must not use those strange rules, just follow the ordinary rules of Huaxia, just like that, a few people will definitely be energetic when they play mahjong. The four of them played mahjong, and Xiao Peng could only serve the bureau hard. On the side, serve tea and pour water, and run before and after. I don't know when, I fell asleep while lying on the couch.
When it was dawn, he thought that he was still lying on the sofa, but he was covered with a quilt, and the bedside was a new set of clothes, uh, now he has already passed the time when he was still pursuing new clothes for the New Year, but what is the custom, Xiao Peng still changed his clothes and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he found that he was the last to get up------ in fact, he had always had a feeling that women don't sleep, and it felt like he was the only one around him who liked to sleep.
Yali brought Xiao Peng a cup of coffee very intimately, looking at the dress of a few foreign girls, Xiao Peng couldn't cry or laugh, and his mother made them a beautiful flower padded jacket with her own hands, which was called a festive celebration. However, the three girls are all tall, so they don't look bloated, but have a different kind of beauty.
But Narnia is different, she is also wearing a small padded jacket, fat and fat, looking like a little snowman at first glance. Seeing her come over with a small blanket in her hand, Xiao Peng was confused and didn't know what she was going to doγγγγγγ
I saw Narnia put the little blanket on the ground in front of Xiao Peng, 'Poof' knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and stretched out his little hand, Xiao Peng smiled, this is to kowtow for money. Oh, that's New Year's money. Mom even told her thisγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng took out a red envelope from his pocket, said a few auspicious words, and gave the red envelope to Narnia, who ran aside with the money and had already begun to count the money, this little money fan.
The mother was just ready to be early, Geng Le and Gu Linlin also came over to pay New Year's greetings, they still lived in the outer room, and went back after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together last night. This morning, when I saw that I had gotten up, I came over to pay my respects.
As soon as my mother finished taking out the red envelope, she heard the doorbell ringing, and my mother was stunned: "The fierce son is here?"
Xiao Peng also looked puzzled: "It's impossible, it's impossible for Mengzi to get up so early." He must have spent the night with his dad last night. Gotta go open the door and see. β
