Volume 2: The Heart Has a Thousand Knots Chapter 40: The First Outside Year-Holiday

People say that the woman is a pregnant fool for three years, but Xiao Jinchen is a fool for a few days, even forgot about the special day of Chinese New Year's Eve, no wonder leaning on the door today, I smelled wisps of meat aroma one after another, and the feeling is that people have begun to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The first time to experience the folk New Year, Xiao Jinchen is very interested in this, in the past in the palace, on this night, the father will always convene the Manchu Dynasty civil and military gatherings, the meal is very particular, the eunuchs first give the father the soup meal, and then send it to his mother, and then send it to the ministers, the order is not chaotic, and the weight is not the same, as for why it is only sent to his mother, it is because there are no other concubines in the entire harem, and here I have to say a word about his father's feelings for his mother.

Xichu is an emerging country, although it has been eighteen, no, it should be said that it has been nineteen years, but there are many heavenly rules that are not perfect, and his father has never thought of fully perfecting it, because if it is to be perfected, there must be a hurdle of concubines, and this is his father's death taboo.

At the beginning of the establishment of Western Chu, some people also said about the matter of accepting concubines, but his father refused on the spot, and said to the official in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the reason why I was able to raise troops and succeed was that the queen was indispensable, so to speak, if there was no queen, I would not be able to stand in this place, you all know this, I once said to the queen, I only love her at this time, and the white head is not separated, if I break this promise as a husband at this time, then how should I face the dawn of the people in this world.

These words are sincere and touching, so few people will say it again in the future, even if they talk about it, the father will always divert the topic, until the year of his mother's death, the father suddenly accepted Wanjun's aunt as a concubine, and after a year, she was crowned the queen of Western Chu, when he was young, he was still a little annoyed that his father was not keeping his promises, but since he read his mother's diary, he can understand very well, this must be one of his mother's last wishes.

Ye Siyun saw that his apprentice was stunned in place, so he couldn't help but step forward and stretched out his hand to twist his ear.

"What are you stunned, Jingyi has gone away, anyway, sooner or later it's all yours, what's the reluctance, look at this girl's recent well-behaved energy, like a little daughter-in-law, don't you know, when I rushed over that night, she was stupid, crying and asking the dean how are you, I don't want to think about it, the dean is the second in the world, she can't save you, do you think, if you don't move, she will treat you like this?" Ye Siyun smiled and joked, but her eyes were a little dodgy.

Xiao Jinchen didn't pay attention to this, he smiled and shook his head: "No, I didn't think about this, I remembered the past, the first time I spent the New Year outside, I just felt a little emotional, as for Jingyi, I never thought that she would not like me, thank you Master for your concern."

"Yo." Ye Siyun glanced at Xiao Jinchen obliquely: "Tut-tut, I'm tired of it, I never thought she would not like you, it really is."

Ye Siyun left after saying this, Xiao Jinchen didn't say much, Jingyi has been very considerate to him recently, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything, I don't know how she learned this, but her own master is not bad, Ye Siyun said it easily now, but according to Yuanfu, at that time, Ye Siyun was almost angry at the Assassin's Mansion, fortunately Chen Wenbo stopped him, otherwise whether those people from the Xu family could survive to the capital is still two words.

Suppressing his gratitude to his master, Xiao Jinchen slowly walked to the backyard and took out a broom and began to clean up the dust, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, after all, the Peach Blossom Nunnery was still new, not long after the young prince began to clean up, Yuan Fu also took Zhou Zeyu and Wu Wei, who Xiao Jinchen had never seen in the morning, back to the Peach Blossom Nunnery, the three of them were holding Spring Festival couplets, lanterns and firecrackers in their hands, Xiao Jinchen looked at it, then put down the work in his hand, and followed the three to do these things that he had never done before.

Sticking window flowers Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, setting off firecrackers, a lively and jubilant scene on the street, the smell of the year is gradually strong, Xiao Jinchen and the four of them appreciate the fruits of their labor, He Junqi and Ye Siyun, who have just come uninvited, are quietly making dumplings.

Fireworks began to light not far away, no matter how poor the axe street was, one or two sounds of silk and bamboo music began to be heard, and people began to hang lanterns at the city wall of Luoyang County in the distance, and the whole Changzhou, the entire Jiangnan Road, the entire Xichu, and even the whole world were immersed in the joy of the festival.

The sky is getting dark, Ruan Wenqi, who received the invitation very early, and the two brothers Ruan Wenzhou also appeared in the Peach Blossom Temple, in the hall, the men sat together and laughed softly, and the women in the back kitchen successively served the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the only fly in the ointment is that these people are missing Mengwanzhong, and there is also less Chen Wenbo that Xiao Jinchen can't invite.

After the meal, it is the New Year, Xiao Jinchen is no stranger to this, he used to stay with his father and the emperor to keep the New Year, although there are no them this time, but there are so many friends around him, but there is not much sadness.

Most of the people who keep the year are sleepy, the hall is naturally quiet, Yuan Fu leans on the staircase, Zhou Zeyu and Ruan Wenzhou stared wide-eyed, the three women leaned on each other and whispered, Ruan Wenqi sat alone, secretly glanced at He Junqi from time to time, Xiao Jinchen sat on the chair, next to him was Wu Wei, a ten-year-old child, suddenly became an orphan, he felt sad when he thought about it, he had no mother, but his father and sister were there, what could he have to say to them, then what about his apprentice, who should he talk to?

The young prince touched Wu Wei's little head, the little guy was born with red lips and white teeth, plus the original braids were combed down, with a little white clothes, he looked quite aura, he tilted his head and looked at the master and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Xiao Jinchen smiled and said softly, "Is it okay to eat today's Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Wu Wei's eyes were full of energy, he sat up straight, a little thin, but he smiled with great satisfaction.

"It's very good, Wu Wei has grown so big, and he has never eaten such a delicious meal, even those meats, Wu Wei has only smelled them before, as for eating, don't even think about it, with these, Wu Wei is already very satisfied." The little guy's eyes were full of tears as he spoke, and he couldn't help but choke: "When I was five years old, my grandfather lost his arms, and the meals at home were all made out by me, and they didn't taste at all, but grandpa always said that it was delicious, and it was the most delicious thing he had eaten in his life, in fact, Wu Wei knew that it was not delicious, and it was all my grandfather who lied to me."

The Peach Blossom Nunnery was already quiet, and what the little guy said attracted everyone's attention, Ye Siyun walked over and glared at Xiao Jinchen fiercely, sat next to Wu Wei, and hugged the little guy into his arms.

"Don't cry, it's all over, come, let the ancestor take a good look." Ye Siyun patted Wu Wei's back as she spoke, and when she saw Xiao Jinchen still sitting there in a daze, she was angry: "That's how you become a master, my apprentice is already pitiful, you still make him cry, I ......"

"Don't blame Master, it's Wu Wei who misses Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't want to cry."

"I'm sorry to say anything, na, look at these brothers and sisters in front of you, you will be your relatives in the future, thinking about grandpa is human nature, how can anyone blame you?"

Wu Wei sobbed and looked around, looking at almost all of them smiling from the bottom of his heart, and nodded hard, the children of poor families can best understand the eyes of others, Wu Wei can see that these people are really good to him, otherwise he would not have come out of his grief in just a few days.

Women are born with motherhood, and in the next hour, the three women have been circling Wu Wei and driving Xiao Jinchen aside, and the young prince has no objection to this, in the end, a big man is not as good as a woman who can comfort children, as long as they don't hate this little guy, they will let these people go.

The time soon came, and there were countless fireworks hovering over the entire Luoyang County City in an instant, which was even more spectacular than the one Xiao Jinchen released a few days ago, and everyone in the Peach Blossom Nunnery came out to watch this annual fireworks carnival.

Xiao Jinchen had seen much grander than this, and he didn't care much, he just walked to Jingyi's side and gently held the girl's little hand, Miss An's pretty face was slightly red, she mustered up her courage, and turned her hand around, but she interlocked her fingers with Xiao Jinchen.

Yuanfu has probably blamed himself for not protecting Xiao Jinchen in the past few days, so he has always been cold for a while, but looking at this fireworks, his expression suddenly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Zhou Zeyu bowed his head silently and muttered to himself: "Lao Liu, your wish Zeyu has taken your place, you have to be good over there."

Ruan Wenzhou and his brother stood side by side, for some reason, a trace of determination suddenly flashed on his face, as for the elder brother next to him, he didn't notice his younger brother's expression, he was rarely bold, and he actually looked straight at the unreachable back.

Ye Siyun has seen a lot of this scene, but she and Xiao Jinchen's indifference is different, she is very happy every time, but when she thinks that she has feelings for her apprentice, she is a little sad, this daughter has nowhere to put her thoughts.

Wu Wei has always been led by Ye Siyun, and he suddenly remembered what his grandfather had said to him.

We have to earn the dignity and face of the poor ourselves, don't ask what the future is, don't look at the achievements of others, always stick to your heart, you remember, as long as you are willing to lower your head and work hard, the future will definitely not be too bad.

Others are good to you, then you should also be good to others, no matter what happens in the future, if you meet a good person, think more about the good of others, with good intentions, maybe there is no good result, but there will never be a mistake.

A man is born in heaven and earth, and he must live in a bright and upright life, and he must not harm the hearts of others.

People must have backbone, it is their own, they will accept it without humility or arrogance, and if it is not their own, even if they come to the front of them, they don't want it.

Grandpa is old, no, the future of Axe Street will be handed over to you in the future, don't let grandpa down, the most important thing is not to let yourself down.

The young man's eyes were slightly closed, grandpa, grandpa is planning to start a new life, your teachings to your grandson, grandchildren have remembered, Master and the people around him are very good to me, you can rest assured, as for the future of Axe Street, leave it to me.
