On the same Chinese New Year's Eve, different places staged different warmth. Great literature

General Zhou's Mansion.

After a few strings of firecrackers, the sky has slowly darkened, every household has begun to sit around the table to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this week the General's Mansion is no exception, in previous years Zhou Dawei and they were with Tang Erhu, Lin Sanping and Liu Sixi, this year is no exception, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has two different places from previous years, the first is their identity, before they were bandits who occupied the mountain as the king, spent together in the cottage of the gathering heroes, but this year it was in the General's Mansion, They have gone from being the leader of the bandits to defending the country, and there is another difference that not only a few of them celebrate the New Year together, but also the Fu King, the Fu Princess, Shangguan Tianjue, and being able to celebrate the New Year with the dignified prince and princess is naturally their blessing.

Dozens of maids and women went in and out of the main hall, and it took about half an hour to put all the wine and food on the table, and after they were ready, Zhou Dawei and Brother Tang Erhu walked into the main hall surrounded King Fu and Shangguan Tianjue.

"Chitose, please, Shangguan guard, please." Zhou Dawei bowed his hand respectfully to the two.

Murong Yichuan nodded slightly; "Come down with the king." Then everyone sat down with King Fu, and they sat down in order of status.

The table is full of a table of mountain and sea delicacies, every dish is full of color and flavor, not to mention eating, looking at it makes people salivate, the Central Plains people Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table is mostly chicken, pork and fish-based, but this northwest region is different, their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table is mainly beef and lamb, plus rabbit meat, camel meat, and pork they are mostly cut into large pieces, which looks like a primitive roughness. Because Murong Yichuan and Shangguan Tianjue are from the Central Plains, there are a lot of dishes from the Central Plains on the table, as well as a few palace dishes. There were several bottles of fine wine on the table, and everyone had a wine bowl in front of them, and they drank wine with a glass and a cup on weekdays, and on a big day, they drank with a wine bowl, and people with an average amount of alcohol would get drunk after drinking a bowl.

Men and women are not allowed to sit at the same table here, women have to share a table with the children, so it seems that with Chu Qianqian, as well as Zhou Dawei's concubine Hua Xiu'er, as well as Tang Erhu, Lin Sanping Liu Sixi's wife, and Zhou Dawei's son Zhou Jianfeng, daughter Zhou Lanxin, and the children of Tang Erhu and others, these people sat at a table, according to local rules, regardless of status, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve must be prepared by a woman, so it seems that Chu Qianqian and others have been busy cooking for an afternoon, She found a sense of home in her hustle and bustle, and although she was very tired, she still felt so fulfilled and warm. Great literature

Zhou Dawei picked up the wine bottle, got up and poured a full bowl of wine for King Fu first, then poured it for Shangguan Tianjue, Tang Erhu and other brothers, and finally poured it for himself.

Zhou Dawei first picked up the wine bowl and said passionately; "Brothers, today we have the first bowl of wine to toast Chitose, and I wish Chitose an early success." As soon as Zhou Dawei said this, Tang Erhu and others were also busy holding their own wine bowls; "What the eldest brother said makes sense, let's wish Chitose to become the emperor as soon as possible." A straightforward Tang Erhu said so bluntly.

"Yes, our brothers are willing to serve Chitose dogs and horses." Lin Sanping was also full of generosity.

Murong Yichuan has always hidden his ambitions very deeply, but at this moment, he is also excited when he is said by such a few big bosses, but he seems to be full of hope for tomorrow, this is their territory, it is rare to be able to speak freely, and it is rare for someone to say what is in his heart.

Murong Yichuan naturally accepted everyone's kindness, happily accepted everyone's toast, and then drank a bowl of wine very happily.

"This king has your support, it's really like a tiger with wings, whether this king can succeed depends on your support, if this king achieves great things in the future, he will definitely not treat your generals badly." Murong Yichuan also made a generous statement with a burst of wine, he first picked up the chopsticks as he spoke, and then casually grabbed a Buddha jumping over the wall and ate it, only after eating it did he feel that the taste was so familiar, so a warmth surged in his heart.

Everyone also picked up the chopsticks one after another, and each went to choose their favorite dishes to eat.

Shangguan Tianjue was also excited in the face of the generosity of these people around him, he was really happy for Murong Yichuan, as long as his master was happy, then he would be happy, Shangguan Tianjue was such a loyal person.

Murong Yichuan gave Shangguan Tianjue a color, he immediately understood, and then picked up the wine bottle and poured a bowl for Murong Yichuan first, then for Zhou Dawei and others, and finally for his own, this bottle of wine still fell after pouring it around.

Murong Yichuan picked up the wine bowl, and Shangguan Tianjue and the others also hurriedly served their respective wine bowls.

Murong Yichuan held the wine bowl, swept the people present with his spiritual gaze, and then said to everyone with a straight face; "Generals, this king has the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with you, it is also an honor for this king, this king can be with you in this life is also the honor of this king, this second cup of wine this king respects you, thank you for your heart of this king, and there are many days when this king and the princess have been disturbed, which has brought you a lot of trouble, especially General Zhou, this bowl of wine this king in his personal name for himself and for the princess to pay respect, this king will do it first. After Murong Yichuan finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, put down the wine bowl, but felt a little drunk, he was still drinking in a big bowl for the first time, and when he saw the plate of large pieces of meat on his face, he had no intention of touching it, and he was not used to eating this food with a bit of roughness, so he only ate the Buddha jumping over the wall and a few court dishes that he was familiar with. Zhou Dawei and the others were also busy, and the wine in their respective bowls was dry. "Chitose is too polite, it is our honor to be able to serve Chitose and Niangniang, what do Chitose need in the future, as long as it is a two-foot-wide note, we will be afraid of Chitose and be broken, and I will be willing to go to the soup and fire." Zhou Dawei was impassioned.

Tang Erhu was also busy following the road; "Big brother is right, we are willing to follow Chitose forever."

"Yes, we will be the slaves of Chitose forever and ever." Lin Sanping and Liu Sixi also said busily.

Murong Yichuan was naturally happy in his heart in the face of these brothers' passionate words, but on the surface, he still held her exclusive calmness, Murong Yichuan was such a person who was invisible, so you couldn't see his heart from his surface.

……

The banquet took about an hour to disperse, and after it dispersed, Shangguan Tianjue accompanied Murong Yichuan back to his residence, and at this time it seemed that he had also returned.

As if she smelled a strong smell of wine as soon as she raised her nose, she subconsciously twisted her eyebrows, "You drank so much wine again, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't get drunk in the future." She complained as if she were delicate.

Murong Yichuan explained while drinking tea; "I didn't drink much, I will never lose my word about what I promised you, by the way, you did that Buddha jumping over the wall."

It's like nodding; "How do you know?"

Murong Yichuan smiled proudly; "I don't even know that I'm worthy of being your husband, this is your specialty, but it's a pity that I didn't eat much, and I let others rob it up, and you have to make up for me in the future." Murong Yichuan was a little regretful, and there was a child's favorite toy that was snatched away by others, so he came to his parents to buy an identical and cute look.

As if he thought about it slightly, he said; "It depends on my mood, you drink tea slowly, if you are tired, go to sleep first, don't wait for me." As if he had finished speaking, he stood up, "Where are you going?" Murong Yichuan grabbed him as if he was busy asking.

"There is a custom here, when you arrive, you have to worship the Jade Emperor and the gods, and the women have to prepare sacrifices and make dumplings, and I am also hungry to join in the fun, so you don't have to wait for me." It was as if his face was full of joy and liveliness.

Murong Yichuan saw that she was in a very good mood at the moment, although she didn't want her to go, but she didn't want to ruin her good mood; "You'd better not go, what if you're tired." Murong Yichuan said with concern on his face.

It was like a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not tired at all, don't persuade me, I'll go." It was as if the busy hand was drawn out of the other's hand, and then he walked out the door with light steps.

It was as if she was busy in the kitchen with Chu Qianqian and others, mainly making dumplings, and it was the first time she made dumplings, so she studied with Chu Qianqian, and she went back after learning a few times.

When it arrived, the time to sacrifice to the sky came, Zhou Dawei and others carried the offering table full of wine and food to the courtyard of the courtyard, hung a large number of firecrackers on the bamboo pole, and placed a large pile of paper money in front of the table, in addition to various dishes on the table, there were steaming dumplings, as well as all kinds of dried and fresh fruits, a pot of wine, a few wine cups, a pot of tea, a few teacups, and a few pairs of chopsticks, a few small porcelain bowls full of grain, mainly sorghum, with thick incense on it. A qiē is ready, Zhou Dawei, Tang Erhu and other brothers, as well as Chu Qianqian and other women with their respective children are standing in front of the table, Zhou Dawei, as the patriarch, squatted down and lit the fire, began to burn paper money, took a stick to separate the lit paper money one by one, muttering in his mouth This Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Grandpa Land, Road God, God of Wealth and other gods, today is the New Year, everyone can eat and drink well, these are our filial piety to your mother, I hope you gods bless our family safety, Everything goes smoothly...... wait

The paper money burned almost, Tang Erhu and the others spilled some tea and wine on the table into the ashes, and then they knelt down one by one and kowtowed to the pile of paper money three times, and then lit the firecrackers on the bamboo poles, the sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the night, and then there were such sounds from other places, and the quiet night immediately became lively.

At this time, the dumplings cooked in the pot were already cooked, and Chunhong was busy according to Wanruo's meaning, and the dumplings were served in three bowls, one bowl was for Wanruo and Murong Yichuan, and the other bowl was for Shangguan Tianjue, and the third bowl was for Chunhong and the sisters.

"It's ready, Princess, let's go back." Chunhong nodded to Wanrudao, who was in a daze, as if she was busy; "Yes, let's go."

Chunhong put the three bowls of dumplings in a large tray, and then carried the tray and walked towards the east courtyard where they lived.

"Chunhong, you wait here, I'll send it to Tianjue." It was like a bowl of dumplings and walked directly towards Shangguan Tianjue's residence.

Shangguan Tianjue was sitting in the room thinking about something, and suddenly heard a knock on the door and asked who,

"God, it's me, can you open the door?" Heaven heard the sound, but immediately his heart was excited, and he came to the door with an arrow and opened it. "My subordinates have seen the princess."

As if smiling, he stuffed a bowl of dumplings to him; "This is my first time making dumplings, so I want to give you a bowl to taste, it looks a little ugly, you just leave it here, I have to go back when it's not too early." With that, he turned and left.

Shangguan Tianjue stood at the door for a long, long time with the steaming bowl of dumplings, until the figure had disappeared into the night, but he still didn't want to turn back.

It was as if he came to his room with a bowl of dumplings, but Murong Yichuan was still drinking tea there, and a pot of tea had no color.

"You can taste my full dumplings, but they look a little ugly, and you are not allowed to laugh at me." As if smiling, he put the bowl in front of Murong Yichuan. Murong Yichuan looked at the dumplings in the bowl that were of different sizes and somewhat irregular shapes, but he smiled brightly.

"Oops; Don't laugh at me, it's the first time someone has wrapped," as if he thought the other party was laughing at himself, so he was a little aggrieved.

Murong Yichuan took two pairs of chopsticks from the side, handed them to Wan Ruo, and then took a pair of them himself, he put a dumpling in his mouth and ate it with relish, "It's still quite interesting to be able to see your flaws." Murong Yichuan said unhurriedly, as if everything in his eyes was perfect, and seeing her occasional imperfection was naturally a new discovery.

It's like lowering your head; "I'll definitely practice hard in a while, and strive to make dumplings as good as Chu Qianqian and them." As if she didn't admit defeat, she was also a person who pursued perfection, and she didn't allow herself to have flaws, even if it was a small daily sale.

Murong Yichuan held her chin with his hand and said; "You don't need to be so bitter about yourself, I think it's good," he said, shoving a half-eaten dumpling into Wanruo's mouth.
