The morning dawned, and the cold wind of the night also stopped, and in the small courtyard, the frost on the masonry was like clothes, standing on it, only to feel the endless coolness under the feet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taking a deep breath of fresh but cold air, Liu Xi stepped on the chain, held a semicircle in his hands, and moved slowly, every move and style was so careless, as casual as stretching his limbs when he had nothing to do, but he exerted his force violently at a certain moment, which was unfathomable.

On the one hand, Qu Lang was practicing his sword with Xiao Wu who woke up drunk, although this chivalrous ranger was more than enough to meet ordinary people, and even the first realm of imperial qi could deal with it, but he understood that what Liu Xi would face in the future was not a ruthless and brave street market scoundrel, so he asked Xiao Wu for advice whenever he had time.

"Huh...... So comfortable! ”

After waking up, Ma Xiu, who walked out of the house, stretched his waist, looked at Liu Xi who was boxing, and couldn't help but whisper, "Why is Yusheng practicing this slow boxing technique again?" ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes towards Dawu, who was standing on the steps with his arms crossed, and said, "Brother Dawu, your ability is stronger than embroidery, why don't you try Yusheng's so-called 'Tai Chi' boxing method is as magical as he said." ”

Without speaking, Dawu walked down the steps and went to teach Wu Shuang'er and Qin Yi some self-defense swordsmanship, this is what Liu Xi meant, after all, this world is not peaceful, and the girl's family also needs some self-defense skills, and the two of them have only only learned the second layer, and if they want to poison and hurt people, it will take a lot of time, so it is better to learn some swordsmanship, and they can protect themselves in danger.

Seeing that Dawu didn't pay attention, Ma Xiu had to smile wryly, the reason why Dawu went to try Liu Xi's boxing was because he couldn't bear it and he had already taken advantage of Liu Xi's unpreparedness, and the result was so miserable, tragic that Ma Xiu was inexplicably panicked when he saw this set of punches.

Stretching his waist again, Ma Xiu turned his head, and happened to see Tian Xun'er was busy in the boiling room, for this little girl who couldn't speak, he always had an indescribable awe in his heart, even if Tian Xun'er was weak on weekdays, he just couldn't be offended, so even if he didn't dare to make fun of this slightly shy laughing little lady at will.

The sky is shining, the clouds are spread for thousands of miles, Liu Xi and others' morning exercise is finally over, after a little washing, they will eat breakfast together, and in the past, Ma Xiu is eager to ask when he can meet the lord of Shurou, anxious but twisted appearance, so that everyone can't help but laugh.

"Today, you should be a little restless about this kind of thing, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, I have asked someone to go to the palace to investigate, but there is still no reply."

Liu Xi had no choice but to say what he had said many times again, listening to his words, Ma Xiu, who was looking forward to it very earnestly, suddenly became depressed, and the chopsticks in his hand were placed on the table, full of loss and sadness.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but whisper, "Ask what is the love in the world, only teach people to live and die." ”

As soon as these words fell, Ma Xiu immediately pulled Liu Xi's sleeve and kept chanting this sentence to express his heartfelt words, while Qin still praised Liu Xi again and again for being a good learner, and Wu Shuang'er happily said how powerful my son-in-law is.

Finally appeased Ma Xiu, breakfast was finished, Qu Lang took the twenty couplets out to set up a stall, and sent the extra five pairs to the Tanglin Palace, for such a high-ranking and powerful person, although Liu Xi said that he wanted the other party to promote, but to be cheeky to do that sloppy thing, it would attract disgust, but it was better to be as conceited as a scholar who was arrogant.

If you want to get away with it, there are always unexpected results.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the year, busy for a few days, the house is already spotless, bright and bright, but the couplet is still not pasted, a few days ago Wu Shuang'er and others wanted to paste the house a red and happy, but Liu Xi disagreed, insisted on keeping today, so just lost the dishes and chopsticks, the little girl happily pulled Qin still to boil the paste.

Soon, the couplet was pasted, although Liu Xi's couplet was one hundred and two, but he could write it casually, because there was no need to be petty, and the door of each room was pasted. As for the courtyard gate, Wu Shuang'er hesitated for a long time, after all, this is a hundred taels of silver, so it is posted outside, what if people let people reveal it?

"You girl, it's just a couplet, it's a big deal to let Yusheng write more, the beginning of the year is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, how can I be too shabby!"

While speaking, Ma Xiu smeared paste on the vermilion wooden door of the small courtyard, and even with Xiao Wu, he blinked his eyes and solved the little girl's hesitation for a long time and didn't know how to be a good thing.

After they finished pasting, they saw Liu Xi and Tian Xun'er walking out of the study, holding several copies of red one-foot-square rice paper with the word 'Fu' written on them. Seeing this, Wu Shuang'er, who was still feeling sorry in his heart, immediately lit up, took one and looked at it again, "Childe, what is this?" ”

"Like that couplet, it's a good thing for the coming year."

With a smile, Liu Xi took the bowl with paste from Qin Yi's hand, dipped some paste with a rag, evenly smeared it on the red pillar in front of the corridor, and later pasted the word 'Fu' handed by Tian Xun'er.

"Childe, your blessing has fallen down!"

Xiao Wu shouted, and then heard Ma Xiu slam the fan suddenly, and said in great distress, "Yusheng, if you sell the word 'Fu', it will be worth at least ten taels of silver, and now it is wasted in vain, which is really unpleasant." ”

When he said this, Wu Shuang'er, who was worried about the one hundred taels of silver at the courtyard gate, immediately exclaimed, rushed forward and stretched out his white little hand, wanting to slowly tear off the word 'Fu' that had been pasted down, after all, this is silver, as long as you tear it off carefully and re-paste it, it will save ten taels. Although there are thousands of taels of silver that Liu Xi got from selling couplets in her room, ten taels is also a lot of money for the little girl.

"Giggle......

Qin still smiled, Tian Xun'er also covered his mouth and snickered, even Dawu, who had a cold face all day long, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and Ma Xiu, who was very sorry before, leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, only Xiao Wu and Wu Shuang'er were a little stunned, one scratched his head and was at a loss, and the other looked at the rest of the people in confusion.

Holding Wu Shuang'er's little hand with a smile, Liu Xi glared at Ma Xiu, "Today, don't look for Shuang'er for fun anymore, can it be that you have forgotten the past?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu remembered the situation when the little girl was haunted after he said goodbye, and immediately trembled, and hurriedly shook the fan, covering his face and not daring to show his smile.

"Childe, Shuang'er doesn't understand why they are laughing?"

Before Liu Xi could speak, Qin still pointed to the word 'Fu' with a jade finger, and said softly with a smile, "Shuang'er girl, this 'Fu' word was deliberately pasted down by the son, and the 'Fu' is poured to mean that the blessing has arrived, which is ingenious, but it is very suitable for the auspicious and festive celebration of the beginning of the year, so that the slave family is respectful." ”

After listening to Qin Yi's words, Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully, but Wu Shuang'er stared at the word 'Fu' with the big eyes of the jet-black water spirit for a while, and then smiled like a crescent moon and clapped his hands. Later, he seemed to remember Ma Xiu's words, and pouted again, and glanced at the latter who was trembling in fear, which made him flee in a panic, making the little girl behind him giggle.

After everything was in order, it was for dinner, with Qin Yiyi, Tian Xun'er and Wu Shuang'er, the little girl, Liu Xi and others not intervening at all, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaoquan's mother-in-law Zhang Hu was there, which was quite smooth.

The red sun is slanting in the west, the cold wind that gradually grows is mixed with the tempting fragrance, the joyful laughter in the boiling room comes from time to time, and under the guidance of Zhang Hu, the wooden table in the small courtyard is already full of all kinds of dishes.

It was used for sacrifice.

Standing on the steps, looking at the sky red by the remnant sun in the distance, the red clouds were blown into a ball after ball by the wind, or gone with the wind, farther and farther, or closer and closer, blending together, becoming another complete cloud.

"Alas......"

For a long time, Liu Xi sighed, at this time of last year, he was eating the dishes he bought with his uncle, although it didn't take long for Liu Han to leave him alone and go to mess with the little widow of the Zhang family, but at least he came back before dawn the next day, and now, he can no longer see him without beating his heart and blushing, and he talks about the romance very seriously.

"Something?"

The voice of Ma Xiu came from behind him, Liu Xi turned his head, and saw that his face was no longer the smile of the past, and there was more rare sorrow between his eyebrows, and he immediately sighed lightly, "I miss my relatives every festival, today, why don't you want to go back?" ”

In the days of homesickness, Liu Xi asked for the first time about things related to Ma Xiu's life experience, if he changed to usual, he would never mention it, although Ma Xiu's nature is debauched, but he is extremely affectionate and righteous, and now he is away from home, I am afraid that he has reached a situation that he does not want to face.

"It's convenient, I'll go back and have a look."

After a long time, Ma Xiu said a word, but it was full of bitterness.

"Yes, at least they're alive and you've got a chance."

patted Ma Xiu's shoulder, Liu Xi's voice was a little low, and then the two of them stood silently in the cold wind, watching the night slowly fall, and the endless lights in the distance lit up, lighting up another smart and gorgeous.
