Chinese New Year's Eve, family dinner.

The courtyard is lit up with fireworks, and the night sky is brighter than the day. At the dining table, Dutong Ye Ancheng sat in the center, and the left and right sides were Chang Fujin and Mei Fujin. Next to Chang Fujin is the second young master Yu Xiang, and next to it is the embroidery text that has been promoted to the side Fujin a few days ago, and the newly promoted Shu Fujin Xu Jiaqinxin. Next to Xu Jia's is Rujin, and then Ning Xi and Yu Rui.

Ning Xi sat next to Yu Rui, but as if he didn't see him, he was eating by himself. The others were also silent, only Xiuwen and Qin Xin gave Xiang Jia an order from time to time. For a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little heavy.

"Come, today is a family banquet, don't talk about so many rules," An Cheng stood up, raised a glass of wine and said, "Today, I, as a parent, will give you a glass first!" ”

"I wish the old man (Ama) happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!" Everyone stood up and toasted, and said in unison.

Putting down the wine glass, An Cheng didn't sit down, and continued: "I said that I don't talk about the rules today, and the others don't have to toast after a while." Let's lighten up the atmosphere, do you want to play something? ”

"Master," Chang Fujin was the first to speak, "or how about the wine order?" ”

An Cheng shook his head: "I'm old, I can't drink anymore, or when I keep the New Year, it's time to fall asleep." ”

"How about the bard?" Yu Xiang proposed.

An Cheng smiled, with a look of understanding: "In this way, you juniors will have a competition, and there are six people here, so they will be divided into two groups." He gestured towards Rujin and Qin Xin, "Yu Xiang and him are in a group of two Fujin, and the rest of Yu Rui and his wife are in a group of Yu Xuan's Fujin." Come on, move in! ”

Several maids came up, each holding a tray filled with all sorts of small items. An Cheng walked down, pointed to the first tray, and said, "I have some new items here, and I want to give them to you according to the same quota as before." But this year's things are messy, and even if they are divided, they may not be able to give everyone what they want. In today's competition, those who perform well in each round have the right to choose one from the inside, what do you think? ”

"It's all at Amma's command!" The juniors stood up and responded to the Tao.

Ning Xi also stood up mechanically and saluted with everyone. She casually glanced over to the tray, only to be caught by the dagger on top of the middle tray. Looking at it from a distance, there are not many patterns on the sheath, as if it was used by the experienced Mongols, this should be very good to pick up, right? She thought of the gun left in the palace, and being able to have such a dagger could make up for her regrets.

The first game is archery, which is played against by Yu Xiang and Yu Rui. The target moved, and the guard Ah Fu gave an order, and Yu Rui pulled the bow and released the arrow. The arrows that flew out seemed to have spirituality, impartial, and hit the red heart.

"Good!" The crowd couldn't help but applaud. Ning Xi looked at him, just clapping his hands silently, without a trace of expression on his face.

Yu Rui turned his head and looked at Mei Fujin. I saw my own mother looking at him worriedly and shaking her head at him. His hands clenched into fists again, damn the way of survival, can't he even release himself after the New Year?

Next, although Yu Xiang's arrow missed the red heart, it was also very close, and there was a sparse clapping sound from below.

However, in the next two times, Yu Rui's arrow missed and landed on the very edge of the target. Although Yu Xiang didn't hit the heart, he won Yu Rui in the last two times, and the first game was naturally Yu Xiang's victory.

"Go, pick something." Chang Fujin said with a smile.

Yu Xiang picked a box of rouge and made An Cheng smile and shake his head. After returning to his seat, he sat down between Qin Xin and Xiuwen, shook the rouge in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Wait a while, if you two behave well, I will reward this to whoever you are!" ”

The next round is the bard. Chang Fujin stood up, took out a note from the bamboo tube prepared in advance, and unfolded it to everyone, only to see the word "flower" written on it.

"According to the rules," said Chang Fu Jin, "each group comes up with a poem with the word 'flower', and if it can't be answered, or the meaning is ominous, that group will punish one person, and of course also punish wine." In this way, the group of the last remaining person wins. Got it? ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chang Fujin pointed to his hand: "Last time, Yuxiang and their group won, let them come first this time." ”

Yu Xiang said: "The flowers are gradually charming, and the shallow grass can have no horseshoe." ”

"If you don't come for the night and a half, you will knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns." Yu Ruidao.

"When the flowers can be broken, they need to be folded, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches." Xu Jiashi said.

"I'm afraid that I will fall asleep in the middle of the night, so I burn high candles to shine red makeup." Not to be outdone.

"When I feel the tears, I hate to say goodbye to the birds." Xiuwen Road.

"Wait!" Yan Fujin raised his hand, stood up and said: "This sentence is not good, this is made by Du Fu when he died in the country, it is really ominous." Xiuwen can be punished, and your group will be punished for drinking! ”

Xiuwen couldn't help blushing, she knew that she hadn't read many books, and her knowledge of Lu Dao's poems was limited. Yu Xiang didn't say a word, poured a glass of wine, and drank it in one go.

"Tearful eyes look at the flowers and are silent, and the red flies over the swing." Such as Jindao.

"Punish wine and punish wine," Chang Fujin said with a smile, "It's all tears and sadness, and it's also ominous!" ”

Ning Xi didn't have any hope for Yu Rui, so he picked up the flask and poured a glass. was snatched by Yu Rui and drank it in one gulp.

Yu Xiang gloated with a gloating face, and for a while he actually forgot that he was next. When he saw that no one answered again, he shouted, "Who's next, hurry up!" ”

"Silly boy," An Cheng scolded with a smile, "I don't even know what I should say, what are you arguing about?" ”

"Me?" Yu Xiang fiddled with his braids and thought for a while before he cautiously spoke, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Well, I wonder if this 'bitterness' and 'cold' are ominous? ”

"It's barely over," An Cheng said, "Although there are 'bitter' and 'cold', but after the bitter cold is the 'fragrance' of plum blossoms, it is also a negative meaning." ”

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date." Yu Ruidao.

"The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall." Afraid of being punished, Qin Xin hurriedly explained, "Flowers falling and blooming are a natural phenomenon. Quoting spring verses, it can be regarded as feeling the arrival of spring in advance. ”

Chang Fujin nodded with satisfaction.

"Huang Siniang's house is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers are low in the branches." Tidal Channel.

After a few more rounds, several people answered each other fluently, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while. And the verses with the word "flower" are almost finished.

"When is the spring flower and autumn moon...... Yu Xiang said, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, but unfortunately the words had been exported and could not be taken back.

"The king of the dead country did it, and he was punished with wine!" An Cheng said with a smile.
