When the wine arrived, the emperor ordered people to set off grand fireworks, and the stars in the night sky were also eclipsed. Along with the fireworks, there is also the passion of the courtiers and the common people.

Xiao Lu sighed: "I have never seen such a grand fireworks scene before!" ”

"If you like, every year in the future, I will set off fireworks for you alone!" Qu Ping said.

"That's not a waste." The woman is duplicitous, but in fact, her heart has long been happy.

"If you're afraid of waste, then give birth to a few more babies, and everyone will spread them out, so it won't be so wasteful."

Xiao Lu said shyly: "I hate it! ”

Sakagami Ryujiro looked at the fireworks in full bloom, and sighed in his heart, what a rich and powerful Great Song Kingdom, so many white flowers and silver were burned into the sky. It's not good or it's beautiful, if Japanese girls can see such beautiful fireworks, they will definitely be happy to give them a hug, right? When will Japan be able to squander like this! For the sake of these goals, we must learn from our country with an open mind.

Qu Ping and Xiao Lu walked on the way home, every house on the street was pasted with Spring Festival couplets, New Year's paintings, door gods, hanging red lanterns, men, women and children did not sleep, it was to keep the New Year, and the children had more fun, haha laughing and running around.

Xiao Lu snuggled up to Qu Ping and said, "So happy, this is the happiest and most meaningful Chinese New Year's Eve I have had in so many years." ”

"In the future, I will be happier every year, and look forward to the future!"

"If there is no war, how good it would be, the common people are happy and live and work in peace and contentment, but why should there be war?"

"Because life has desires, even if it's a little grass. Only when you are strong can you protect yourself! ”

"Do you think there will be wars in five hundred years, a thousand years, or even two thousand years?"

"There is no killing without profit, but no one can do anything. Plants and trees are still competing for spring, not to mention animals and people. Even if it's 10,000 years, there will be wars! ”

Xiao Lu clenched Qu Ping's arm and said, "Then you have to be strong and protect me!" ”

The New Year opened in the sound of firecrackers, Qu Ping and Xiao Lu got up early in the morning, put on brand new clothes, and gave red envelopes to the people in the house one by one.

Wu Zhishen said that the four major members of the family are empty, and they don't want red envelopes.

Qu Ping forced him and said, "Monks also need food, clothing, shelter and transportation before they can practice well, and they can't practice naked with a hungry stomach, right?" ”

Zhu Shuzhen said: "Brother-in-law, I want a big red envelope!" ”

Qu Ping said: "Your red envelope is not small, why do you need a big red envelope?" ”

"Because Lu Youxiao is here this year, I want to give gifts to new students." Zhu Shuzhen said.

Xiao Lu smiled: "Shuzhen knows how to care for new classmates?" Then you can write a poem or a poem for me, and I will give you another one when you make it. ”

"Do the words I wrote during the Lantern Festival last year count?"

"As long as you write it, it's counted." Xiao Lu said.

"Okay, then I'm going to read it, listen! On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day; The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. In January this year, the moon and the lights are still the same; I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. ”

After listening to Qu Ping, the famous classic sentence "The willow tops on the moon, people are about after dusk" was written by her, Qu Ping said: "Did you write it, at a young age, how to make an appointment with someone after dusk?" ”

Zhu Shuzhen said: "This is written last year's Lantern Festival, my father didn't come back to get together with my mother, and my mother cried." ”

After listening to Wang, he couldn't help but sob.

Xiao Lu comforted: "Madam, I'm sorry, life will be better in the future, and Shuzhen is smart and studious, she will definitely fly to the branches in the future." ”

Wang said: "Thank you, old lady, without you, our mother and daughter would have been unknown for a long time." ”

Steward Huang said: "Okay, okay, today is the first day of the new year, you have to be happy." ”

Wang burst into tears and laughed, and said yes, let's go set off firecrackers too.

A string of firecrackers was thrown out, and a person was scared to shout "wow", and it turned out to be Ryujiro Sakagami. Qu Ping saw Ryujiro Sakagami carrying a gift in his hand and said Why are you here.

Ryujiro Sakagami said: "General Qu, Mrs. Qu, and everyone in the house, everyone has a good New Year, and I wish you all good health and all the best!" ”

Unexpectedly, the first person to come to visit the New Year was a Japanese.

The visitor was a guest, and everyone invited Ryujiro Sakagami to go in for tea and snacks. Qu Ping chatted with him for a while, and told him that he was going to the barracks to pay New Year's greetings to his subordinates. Ryujiro Sakagami said that General Qu was really caring, and the first thing he did on the first day of the new year was to pay New Year's greetings to his subordinates. Qu Ping said that leaders must have the responsibility of leaders. Ryujiro Sakagami volunteered, saying that he would also bring gifts with Qu Ping to greet the soldiers for the New Year. Qu Ping knew what he was going to do, so he agreed to go with him.

Qu Ping asked Xiao Gang Xiaozheng to pull two carts of gifts with two horses, and the rest were at home, lest someone come to pay New Year's greetings, but there was no one in the house. Ryujiro Sakagami bought a cart of gifts with the silver the emperor had given him, and excitedly took them to the barracks.

Qing Xuanzi and Wang Zhiquan have all returned to the Gyeonggi Road Army, Li Cailian and Lu Ji went to Hangzhou to build a ship, and Wang Zhiquan took care of the logistics. At this time, Qing Xuanzi, Wang Zhiquan, Jiang Boyan, and Yang Zaixing were preparing the noon wine and dinner with the soldiers, and the four of them discussed whether to go to General Qu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings first, or to eat and then go to New Year's greetings. Just when he was in a dilemma, Qu Ping took people and goods to the barracks. The soldiers guarding the camp know their commander, and if they can stop it, they will be exempted from reporting.

Everyone was very moved when they saw General Qu come to the barracks early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone gathered in circles and circles, gossiping and rushing to pay New Year's greetings to Qu Ping. Ryujiro Sakagami saw that he was surrounded by water, and he was so frightened that the two trembled.

Qu Ping raised his hands and pressed down, the whole army suddenly quieted down, and the shocked Sakagami Ryujiro's mouth opened, and General Qu's prestige was really strong.

Qu Ping said: "Soldiers, happy New Year, everyone! I hope you can train hard, dare to fight, and win the battle, so as to ensure that you and the people can have a comfortable year every year! This is the duty of a soldier, and it is my duty! Let's encourage together! ”

The whole army shouted: "Roar! ”

Ryujiro Sakagami was so shocked by the sound that his ears hurt, and he thought that this kind of tiger and wolf division would definitely help the emperor unify the four islands.

Qu Ping said: "Qu has not been an official for a long time, and his salary is not much, so he took out all the money and bought such small gifts, rest assured, they are all things that can be eaten and used." The soldiers laughed. Qu Ping said: "Fortunately, the Japanese friend next to me knew that I had shallow financial resources, so he was willing to pay out of his own pocket and bought an extra car of gifts, and everyone applauded and thanked him!" ”

With the roaring applause, Ryujiro Sakagami became more and more grateful to Qu Ping, at such a critical and important time, General Qu pushed himself to the forefront, I really don't know how to thank him. Ryujiro Sakagami squirmed his mouth excitedly, but he didn't know what to say, and just thought of a sentence, he heard Qu Ping say: "Okay, this Japanese friend, Ryujiro Sakagami, he said no thanks." Command the envoys, come up and distribute the gifts to everyone! ”

When everyone dispersed, there was finally fresh air to breathe, and the four of Qing Xuanzi also had a chance to talk to Qu Ping.

Qing Xuanzi said: "Dashuai, congratulations, first you were promoted to the general of the auxiliary country, and then you tied the knot to complete the major events of your life and marriage, but unfortunately Wang Zhiquan and I couldn't take time to congratulate you." ”

Qu Ping said: "You have worked hard to defend the land and serve the country, and Qu is already very grateful. If you hadn't listened to me at the beginning, I wouldn't have this honor today, so the medal has half of mine and half of yours. ”

Wang Zhiquan said: "The general is Wang Zuozhicai, without us miscellaneous fish mountain bandits, maybe we can find a better helper!" ”

"No matter what you say, you and others are not in the pool, so we complement each other." Qu Ping introduced Sakagami Ryujiro to them again, and then said to Yang Zaixing, "Zaixing, you are the queen of the gate, and I have recommended you to the emperor and let you lead 6,000 elite soldiers to help the Japanese lord level the four islands of Japan." It is the responsibility of my suzerains to protect the vassals, are you willing to go? ”

Yang Zaixing said: "Don't dare to disobey what the order points to!" However, 6,000 elite soldiers, can you wipe out a country? ”

Ryujiro Sakagami hurriedly explained: "It's not the whole country, it's a part of the underworld forces in the country, and those forces, as long as there are one or two thousand people, they dare to claim the king and hegemon, and the maximum is less than 10,000, because our emperor has only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they have to be divided into various places." ”

Jiang Boyan whispered: "Is such a person embarrassed to be called the king and the emperor?" ”

Qu Ping said: "In some places in the West, a city of a few thousand people is considered a big castle, and even some countries, the land of projectiles, dare to be called a country. How can it be compared to my Chinese Shenzhou! ”

Yang Zaixing said: "My subordinates are willing to go, for the general, for the emperor, for my Great Song Dynasty, to open up the territory!" ”

"You select six thousand strong-willed elite soldiers, bows, crossbows, swords, and horses, and it is estimated that you will set off around the Lantern Festival and go to sea from Hangzhou! You are already familiar with the way our army fights, and you are proficient in the art of war, I would have hoped that 6,000 soldiers would have set out, and at least 5,000 would have returned! Qu Ping said.

"Yes!"

Qu Ping finished arranging things and was about to go back, and Chen Chong came to the barracks with gifts again. Jiang Boyan said: "Your kid has been promoted, remember to come to see us!" ”

Chen Chong smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is all the credit of the handsome." Marshal, the last general just went to your house to pay New Year's greetings, and Madame told me that you had come to the barracks to pay New Year's greetings, and my subordinates drank a cup of tea and rushed over. Because it would be rude to leave without a cup of tea. ”

Qu Ping said: "Haha, it seems that you are more calm. ”
