"Sell dementia, sell you idiot, sell you stupid, sell you stupid, see sell as much as you can, you want to come with me on credit."

On New Year's Eve, that is, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys of Quanzhou City resounded with the sound of many children laughing, and children of all sizes sang this song around the streets and alleys of Quanzhou.

This is called "selling dementia", children use this to joke with each other, in order to hope to become smart in the coming year, of course, this is not really selling money, but there are also some children who sell "dementia", of course, this kind of thing can also be called "New Year's money".

At the same time, all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers are lit up in Quanzhou city, firecrackers sound in the city from time to time, colorful, all kinds of fireworks are also layered in the sky above Quanzhou city, it is gorgeous and colorful, dazzling, fireworks from time to time cross a brilliant brilliance, it is dizzying.

Li Sanjian's sister Li Nan, accompanied by Cai Yingxue and two guards of the Taishou Mansion, also sang songs near the Taishou Mansion, watching the colorful fireworks, clapping and laughing.

At this time, there were pirates in Quanzhou, so Li Sanjian didn't dare to be careless, his family must be accompanied by guards when they go out, and Li Nan was not allowed to run too far, so he could only play near Taishou Mansion.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the people of Quanzhou have a happy, comfortable, and quiet New Year, Li Sanjian has already ordered that the Quanzhou Xiang Army, the Inspection Department, and each yamen must have people on duty, and they must not take off their armor and wait for the rest of the day, so as to prevent the pirates from sneaking attack.

The last day of the month is called "New Year's Eve", that is, the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, on which the people of Shishu, big and small, poor and rich, sweep the doors. Go to the dust, clean the door, change the door god, hang the bell Kui, nail the peach charm, paste the spring card, worship the ancestors, and prepare the incense flower offerings to welcome the gods at night, in order to pray for the safety of the New Year, such a custom, not unique to the Song Dynasty Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, the Song Dynasty Prefecture and the state army are like this, and Fujian is even worse.

Before the Chinese New Year, every household has to sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, which is called "sweeping", and post the door gods, New Year's paintings, Spring Festival couplets, worship the ancestors, the gods of the shrine, heaven and earth, etc., called the "regimental year".

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve that sleeps all night, and the Shishu people's homes sit around the fireplace and do not sleep all night, which is called "keeping the year".

The same is true of Quanzhou Taishou Mansion, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner everyone gathered, Li Sanjian and his family chose a place to overlook, burned several pots of charcoal, lit oil lamps and candles, looked at the bright fireworks in the distant sky, talked and laughed happily around the stove, and prepared to keep the year until dawn.

"Mother, it's so late, but don't be tired of your old age... You're going to rest, aren't you? Li Sanjian looked at Fu Erniang, who was very interested in talking, and asked with some concern.

"What's this?" Fu Erniang shook her head and refused: "When I was in Danzhou, I spun and spun all night at night, and I had to work during the day, and I didn't tire my mother. ”

Fu Erniang glanced at Li Sanjian and felt heartfelt happiness and pride.

The son is so promising, and he is unusually filial and obedient, he is simply responsive and obedient, with such a son, who feels unhappy?

Fu Erniang's words are true, there is no problem for Li Sanjian to feed his family now, plus the third lady Xu Tingting has a good business, so life is getting better and better, there is no need for Fu Erniang to continue to make money to support the family, and there is no need for Fu Erniang to do any housework, at this time, Fu Erniang can be said to be pampered, and after being pampered for a long time, of course, she is raised for nothing, plus Cai Rongxue taught Fu Erniang some ways of health preservation and beauty. Therefore, Fu Erniang, who is in her thirties, looks like a person in her twenties.

As for things like Fu Erniang's occasional going to the ground and the kitchen, in Li Sanjian's words, it is an act of eating...

"Mother, can you tell me about the official when he was a child?" Li Sanjian's third wife, Xu Tingting, said to Fu Erniang with a smile while pinching Li Sanjian's shoulder and back.

"Good!" Fu Erniang smiled: "Do you know that your husband almost died when he was a child... , at that time, I was terrified. ”

Fu Erniang was still stroking her chest as she spoke, it had been a long time, but Fu Erniang still had palpitations.

"What's going on?" Cai Rongxue, who was sitting on Li Sanjian's side, asked with her chin propped up her chin with her hands.

Li Sanjian had many troubles when he was a child, but Cai Rongxue had never heard of it, so she was very excited to listen to Fu Erniang's story.

"I know, I know, the third brother almost fell into the sea and drowned when he was a child... Before he fell overboard, he was a... It's still a... Wang Wen said with a smile while directing the people to serve tea and pour water.

"Or what?" Cai Rongxue asked.

"They're all eyeless, they say my Jian'er is a demented child... Fu Erniang smiled a little proudly.

"Mother, my mother, are you here again?" Li Sanjian pointed to his nose as he spoke, "Do you look like a demented child?" ”

"Like... Cai Rongxue, Xu Tingting, and Wang Wen replied together.

"Haha, it's not unusual for a demented child to be able to guard the Great Song Dynasty. . . ." When Li Sanjian had dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, he drank a little too much, so he boasted a little proudly.

"Why did he fall into the sea? How did it fall in? Xu Tingting couldn't help but ask after patting Li Sanjian on the shoulder.

"I'm going to ask him." Fu Erniang remembered Li Sanjian's appearance in the past, and couldn't help laughing: "This kid just won't say why he fell into the sea, anyway, his previous behavior was always different from others."

"Well, the third brother, he's just different," Wang Wen said with a smile after bringing five bowls of freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"What's the difference? Mother, say it quickly. Cai Rongxue asked curiously.

"He is ... Jian'er likes the sea, he has to go to the beach almost every day, go to see the sea every day, cry on the beach every day, or laugh at the beach, or sit on the beach in silence, sometimes sitting all day. Fu Erniang remembered Li Sanjian's appearance before, and remembered that she had broken her heart for him in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But now it's okay, now that Jian'er has grown up, the days are getting better and better, Fu Erniang then said secretly in her heart.

"That's madness." Xu Tingting blurted out her debut.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all laughed.

Li Sanjian was about to fall asleep, and was woken up by everyone's laughter at this time, so while people were not paying attention, he was handed over and pinched on the thigh of Xu Tingting, who was standing behind him.

"Huh? Official, you... Xu Tingting suddenly let out an exclamation, and saw that everyone's eyes were turned, so she hurriedly covered up: "Official, you... How did you end up in the sea? ”

"Huh? Oh, I don't remember, I forgot about it a long time ago, hehe. Li Sanjian said with a smile.

In Li Sanjian's memory, he was in a daze, it seemed that a fairy appeared in the sea, and kept waving to Li Sanjian, so Li Sanjian threw himself into the arms of the sea...

But how can this kind of thing be said in front of the old lady and his wife and concubine? Therefore, Li Sanjian excused himself by forgetting about it.

"Forgot? How did you forget everything? It's still the champion... Xu Tingting said angrily.

"Hehe, Jian'er, he's late sensible." Fu Erniang continued: "Jian'er couldn't speak until he was five years old, and he didn't speak until he was five years old. He... It's still pestering me... ”

"What are you pestering Grandma for?" Wang Wen asked curiously.

"He... He pesters me every day to eat... Ha ha... Fu Erniang couldn't help laughing as she spoke.

Cai Rongxue and Xu Tingting's two daughters suddenly felt red when they heard this, and at the same time secretly felt funny... Generally speaking, babies will be weaned over the age of one, but Li Sanjian is still 。。。。。。 when he is five years old

But Wang Wen didn't understand what was going on for a while, and after seeing everyone's strange expressions, she was even more puzzled, so she asked, "What are you eating?"

Cai Rongxue and Xu Tingting's faces turned even redder when they heard this, and even Fu Erniang felt that her face was slightly red.

"Ouch, mother, my mother... Li Sanjian hurriedly said to Fu Erniang: "This kind of thing you... You... To say too? ”

Fu Erniang talked about Li Sanjian's other troubles before, Li Sanjian didn't care about it, and he didn't stop it, but this kind of thing, she also wants to take it out? It made Li Sanjian smile bitterly, and at the same time, his face was slightly red.

"What are you afraid of? This is your nearest and dearest person. Fu Erniang said to Li Sanjian with a smile.

Li Sanjian thought about it, except for a few personal maids at this time, everyone else was separated, and those who stayed here were Li Sanjian's closest people, so Li Sanjian smiled and didn't say anything.

Li Sanjian then glanced at Mrs. Three-Eyed, which made Cai Rongxue and Xu Tingting even more shy, and Wang Wen still didn't understand what Li Sanjian was pestering Fu Erniang to eat at this time...

"Oh no, it's water, it's water...

"Someone set fire!"

"Who set the fire?"

"It must be a thief, run, run!"

At this time, there was a noise in the northeast direction of Quanzhou City, and at the same time, several fires were ignited in the distance, the flames soared to the sky, reflecting half of the sky, and in the firelight, countless figures ran around and scurried.

Although it was midnight, there were still many people on the street because it was the New Year.

Li Sanjian and the others were keeping watch on the third floor of a house in Taishou Mansion, so they saw all this clearly, but they didn't know what was going on.

"Not good!" Li Sanjian jumped up from the chair and said loudly to Fu Erniang, Cai Rongxue and others: "Mother, Xue'er, you quickly follow me downstairs and leave the house." ”

Li Sanjian knew in his heart that the houses in this era were mainly wooden structures, so once a fire broke out, it was extremely difficult to control.

However, fortunately, the fire was far away from Taishou Mansion, so Li Sanjian and the others had plenty of time to escape.
