Chapter 60: The New Year (5)
And when all the children gathered in the hall again, the samurai hall suddenly became lively. www.biquge.info There were no helpers such as servants and maidservants left in the house, so Wu Ming, the little girl who was destined for a bumper harvest, couldn't help but run around, looking at the things around everyone's hands, as if they would be their own later.
"Third brother, you come first!"
"Huh?" was waiting for Li Chengdao to take the lead, but when he heard him shouting to himself, Li Ke was a little puzzled, but he still stepped forward with the red paper and unfolded, "The son-in-law sent a pair of Spring Festival couplets to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it means that he is prosperous!" β
"Shanglian is - smooth sailing"
"The next link is - all the best and the best is coming"
"Son-in-law wishes - the samurai family and everything is prosperous"
"Good! The virtuous son-in-law has a heart! The warrior Tong clapped his hands and applauded, and didn't care about his unceremonial name, took the Spring Festival couplet and waved to his son, "Yuanqing Yuanshuang went to paste it on the door of the house!" β
"Wait!" It's just that Li Chengdao immediately stopped the martial arts brothers who wanted to take over the Spring Festival couplets, "And what!" β
"Chuan'er~"
"Chuan'er's gift is this" Hearing Li Chengdao's roll call, Linchuan, who had already prepared, unfolded the square red paper rolled up by his side and placed them diagonally in front of the martial couple.
"Blessing falls"! Wu Yuanqing, who had not yet retreated on the side, saw the words on the red paper and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
"Wonderful!" Hearing this, Samurai Tong's eyes flickered, and he got up and took the word Fu, "Fu is down!" Blessings have arrived! β
"Yuanqing, go post it!"
"Yes!"
"Third brother, go and help!"
"Hey!" Li Ke understood, and took another pair of Spring Festival couplets and went out.
"Here's me!" Li Chengdao got up with a smile, "Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, one of Li Ke and Linchuan is your half-son, and the other is your righteous daughter, I won't get involved, and Yuanqing Yuanshuang Yueshi Li Ke is also old, so I'll start directly with Shun'er."
"Before I do that, let me tell you a story - a hearsay from my travels with Sun Dao"
"It is said that the royal family of a small country is fond of hunting, and on a midsummer afternoon, the royal nobles were hunting in a small town on horseback and herds of hunting dogs, and they happened to meet Miss Rose who was washing clothes by the river, when a young earl fell in love at first sight, and was deeply attracted by Miss Rose's innocence and elegance, and at the same time, Miss Rose also left a deep admiration for the handsome and upright earl. The earl, who returned to the court from hunting, couldn't sleep all night, and when the feudal society at that time was unacceptable, he mustered up the courage to propose to Rose, who was born in the countryside, "the door is not right, the household is not right"! The royal family was in an uproar and opposed it with a resolute defense of royal blood.
Due to the Earl's insistence, in order to make the Earl die, the royal family made a request that was almost impossible to achieve at the time, hoping that Miss Rose could sew a white robe overnight, and the request was a white robe of about the length from the front of the martial arts gate to the hall.
The request was made, and the Count's dream of a marriage was almost disillusioned..... But Miss Rose at that time did not think so, and actually stayed up all night with the residents of the whole town, and worked together to sew a delicate and extremely simple design line before dawn 16 zhang white robe without losing the royal gorgeous atmosphere, when this white robe was sent to the royal family the next day, the royal members were undoubtedly not deeply moved by it and were moved by the design concept of high emotion, and completed the fairytale sacred wedding under the promise of the emperor and queen, and since then the white wedding dress has become the special costume for the wedding of that country"
"What I gave Shun'er today is also an imitation white wedding dress - of course it's not that long" handed the exquisite gift box in his hand to Wu Shun "Of course, it's not for Shun'er to wear at the wedding, my idea is that it's best to wear it alone in the future Li Ke~"
"Brother Yi~" Wu Shun's pretty face with a thin face instantly turned red, and he took the gift box and immediately hid behind Yang.
"You'll thank me later!" Lee Seung-do didn't feel abrupt. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is not much worse than that of later generations, and this sexy wedding dress is specially made by a tailor dedicated to Wufu!
"Next is Chuan'er!"
"There's a little story to this gift"
"Legend has it that on an island, there was a kingdom. One day, the king and his brother came to a meadow next to the sea, and while they were resting under a tree, suddenly a black column of water rose in the middle of the sea, and a girl came to them and told them that all women in the world were untrustworthy and untrustworthy.
When the king and his brother returned to the kingdom, they found that the queen had misbehaved, and they killed her. From then on, the king was deeply disgusted with women and killed the palace maids, and he took revenge, and began to marry a woman every day for one night, and the next day he killed and remarried, and became a tyrant completely. Year after year, it lasted for three years, killing more than a thousand women.
The prime minister's eldest daughter told her father that she was going to marry the king and that she was going to try to save thousands of women.
Every night after she entered the palace, she told a story to the king, but she told it every night, and only the beginning and the middle, not the end. In order to hear the end of the story, the king postponed the date of killing her day after day. In this way, she told a story every day, and the stories were endless, each more wonderful than the other, until the thousandth and first night, and finally moved the king.
Then the king said, "By God's name, I am determined not to kill you, and I am touched by your story." I will record these stories and keep them forever. "So, the book "One Thousand and One Nights" was born."
"My gift is this "One Thousand and One Nights"" Li Chengdao put the book in Linchuan's hand and touched her head, "When I return to Beijing, the second brother can't accompany you every day, this book is the daily story promised by the second brother!" β
"Hmm!" The little girl nodded sensibly, but her voice was a little low.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Yes, there is not only prosperity and emperors in the capital.
"What are you doing with your head down for the New Year?" I knew that the atmosphere would definitely cool down when I said this, but this was the best opportunity! So Li Chengdao half-squatted to help up the little girl's head, and gently pinched the little face, "And the second brother is still in the Chongwen Hall in the capital, when do you want to see the second brother, come to me, okay?" β
"Okay, the second brother doesn't like it when he's crying~"
"You're laughing at you~"
"Second brother~" was coaxed awkwardly by Li Chengdao, and the little girl tried to squeeze out a smiling face and called softly.
"Huh?"
"Can I move to Chongwen Hall?"
"Eh~" Li Chengdao has a headache, can this be? Doesn't think it can't? Looking at the little girl's hopeful gaze,
He couldn't veto.
"But what about Chuan'er's mother?" Li Chengdao was in a hurry, "Otherwise, you will live in Chongwen Hall when you are resting; Besides, Shun'er and they also live in Chongwen Palace, and you can occasionally play with them! β
"Hmm!" The little girl obviously thought of her lonely mother and agreed to Lee Seung-do's suggestion.
"It's over!" After standing up, he caught a glimpse of Wu Zhao's unkind look, Li Chengdao secretly complained, he still had to ask her! And this kind of thing, you have to find her!
"Forget it! So be it! Li Chengdao still took out a letterhead from his arms and sent it to Wu Zhao in the stunned eyes of everyone, "This is Zhao'er!" β
"What is this?" Wu Zhao hesitated to take the letterhead, wanting to open it, but felt that it was inappropriate.
"You can open it!" Therefore, it is the wisest decision to find a mask and bring it on, because no one can see the sweat under their mask.
"This?" Hearing this, Wu Zhao, who opened the letterhead, hurriedly glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then looked up at Li Chengdao, revealing a slightly confused look.
"Wait!" Li Chengdao glanced at everyone, stepped forward and brushed a few strands of hair scattered around her lips, and took the opportunity to whisper softly in her ear.
"Finally, it's our little princess of the martial arts!" Ignoring the surprised eyes of the rest of the people, Li Chengdao turned around and hugged a half-person-tall wrapped object from behind the seat, half-squatted and handed it to Wu Ming's arms and said, "This is Ming'er's yo~"
"Can I turn it on?" The little hand was full of hugs, and the little girl's bright eyes were full of curiosity.
"Yes," Li Chengdao stood up and stopped the Yang family who wanted to deny it, "It's yours that gave you, so you can dispose of it casually~"
"Then I'll open it~" Hearing Li Chengdao's agreement, the little girl hurriedly opened the package on it, and the soft and fluffy touch she touched first made the little girl even more curious! Ran to Yang's side with a gift higher than herself, asked her to help support her, and then continued to dismantle it herself.
Dragged left and right, and finally tore off all the packaging, and everyone was able to get a glimpse of it.
It's just that this thing seems a little abstract?
"Is this a blind bear?" In the end, it was the samurai who was well-informed, and tried to guess its name from the slightest clue.
"Yes!" Lee Seung-do smiled: "This is a simplified version of the bear!" Don't you think bears like this are cuter? β
"Your Highness Takami......" The corners of the samurai's mouth twitched in agreement, but in his heart he was greeting Li Chengdao's eight-life teacher - who taught such a wonderful highness?
"Giggle...... When the samurai Tong and them were entangled, Wu Ming smiled happily, revealing two shallow dimples, "Big bear!" Big Bear! β
"Second brother~" I don't know when, Linchuan came to Li Chengdao's side, still holding the book, but the other hand was pulling the corner of his clothes, glanced at Wu Ming and then raised his head to look at him, his bright eyes were full of longing, and at the same time mixed with a trace of grievance.
"Don't worry~" Li Chengdao put his hand on her head and gently comforted.
"What's that?" Suddenly, Li Ke's voice came from the door, waking up the people who were still a little speechless.
"What do you care about so much!" Li Chengdao glanced at Li Ke: "It's your turn!" β
"Oooh!" Li Ke was fundamentally immune to Li Chengdao's cynicism and directly intercepted the main information.
"This is for Shun'er and Chuan'er!" Li Ke walked quickly to his chair, took out two books from a pile of things, one for Wushun and one for Linchuan, and then proudly explained, "I heard the second brother say before that the great people of some countries always write an autobiography!" So I also wrote one,
It's a record of all the meaningful things I've been doing since I can rememberβand with this book, you can fully understand my past! β
"And this Shun'er has not only my future, but also my past!"
In the end, Li Ke actually fell quite romantically, and the tears of Wushun's girl who fell in love flashed, and he sighed that he had met someone who was destined.
"Ahem!" Li Chengdao lowered his head and rubbed his head, interrupting the affectionate gaze of the little two - no way, you can't let everyone wait for them, right?
"Uh-huh!" Li Ke was thick-skinned and could pretend to be fine, but Wu Shun instantly hid behind his mother again, not looking at everyone's playful gaze.
"The next thing is Zhao'er and Ming'er!"
"It's according to the child! It's Ming'er's! "Holding two gift boxes and handing them over to the two sisters in turn" This is the most popular style in Chang'an City at the moment, which is guaranteed to look heroic and cool! β
Why does it sound awkward? Li Chengdao opened his eyes and showed a rare look of curiosity.
"Alright! I'm done too! Then Li Ke clapped his hands and sat down.
"Then let's cross the stone! Yuanqing Yuanshuang is the master, so naturally he wants the finale! Seeing that Helan Yueshi and the martial brothers were humbling each other, the warrior Tong called each other.
"Then Yue Shi is disrespectful!" Helan Yueshi was not polite, got up and first waved towards the martial arts couple on the seat, and then took out four pieces of jade from his arms, and stepped forward to hand them to Wushun Linchuan Wuzhao Wuming in turn, "This is left by my father, today I dare to divide it into four pieces and give it to my four sisters~"
"Could it be that Lantian jade?" When everyone didn't know the reason, the samurai Tong shouted first.
