The night was boundless, infecting the heavens and the earth, and the big red lanterns hanging around the small courtyard were lit early, scattering a bright red halo. www.biquge.info Standing on the steps, Liu Xi could vaguely hear the sound of joy on the street in the distance, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, which was so sought after everywhere.

I don't know if they are okay with their own darkness.

After reciting a sentence silently in his heart, the rich aroma in the courtyard wafted out, Zhang Hu took Wu Shuang'er and other girls to work for a day, made countless delicious dishes, and filled the table in the house, which made Ma Xiu scream, and he couldn't wait to taste a few pieces first, to have a feast, but when he saw Wu Shuang'er with willow eyebrows, he had to swallow his saliva and walked to the side stupidly.

Looking at the girl's laughing appearance, Liu Xi chuckled and said, "This guy has bitterness in his heart, but he can always please others." ”

Turning his head and sweeping the small courtyard, everything is new, quiet and peaceful, everyone's face shows joy, this year seems to be very good.

"Childe, everything is ready, isn't it time to sacrifice to the sky?"

Zhang Xiaoquan walked over and asked in a low voice, today he put on a fox fur jacket, but it is more expensive than the favorite cotton jacket of the Zhang family's father and son, even if it is cold and the snow is fluttering, he will not feel cold. Walking out, Zhang Xiaoquan's waist straightened up, and he met that Zhang Yu yesterday, maybe seeing him change, he actually took the initiative to make friends with a smile, but Zhang Xiaoquan, who had suffered for more than ten years, how could he ignore it, spit at his feet, and left directly.

That feeling is really refreshing, but Zhang Xiaoquan understands who gave him the current life, so when facing Liu Xi, his heart is always full of gratitude and awe, and even like that day, his eyes are evasive and he doesn't dare to look directly.

"Well, sacrifice the sky early, wait for dinner, go out for a while, there is a lantern gathering tonight, it is very lively, Xiaoquan, you should also come with us."

Worshipping the sky is something that every small household has to do, the rich people put on the three lives and five animals, and worship the gods on the ancestral hall and temple, while the poor people take out the money they have accumulated for a year to buy some meaty things, put a simple incense case in their own yard, and beg God to protect the fortune of the coming year.

Uncle Liu Han is informal, and has never done this, so Liu Xi is a little uncomfortable with this, but he follows the customs, not to mention that Zhang Hu and the others have already been busy with dishes such as candles, incense oil, etc.

Perhaps hearing the Lantern Festival, Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran to pack up the objects of the sacrifice. Soon, after everything was ready, he stepped forward again and asked Liu Xi to preside over the sacrifice to the sky, the latter shrugged his brows with some difficulty, and just agreed to it, but how to do it was really not clear, thinking of this, he suddenly became difficult.

He smiled awkwardly and looked at the people who were looking around, "I have never done this kind of thing, it belongs to a layman, if I preside over it, it is inevitable that the club will miss and offend the gods, and there are proficient people among you who will replace Xike?" ”

As soon as he exited, the rest of the people were all looking at each other, no wonder, Wu Shuang'er had been lonely since he was a child, how could he understand this etiquette, and although Tian Xun'er and Xiao Wu had seen some major sacrifices of the soldiers, they were not the same as this New Year's sacrifice. As for Qin Yi, Zhang Hu's and Qu Lang, they know a little bit in their hearts, but they are just subordinates, where do they dare to replace Liu Xi to do the sacrifice to the sky and do that arrogant thing?

"...... Uproar"

The paper fan shook away, and Ma Xiu pursed his lips, "What's so difficult about this, there is embroidery, Yusheng, you do what I say." ”

Ma Xiu is a miscellaneous disciple, walking is the world, he knows these etiquette is not strange, seeing him speak, Liu Xi was busy and wanted to pull him forward, "Today, since you know a lot about this matter, then I will hand it over to you, and it will save Xi clumsiness, breaking the rules." ”

Ma Xiu flashed to the side, shook the fan and said, "Yusheng, such things as worshipping the sky are done by people with high morality, between us, although embroidery is said to be obsessed for several months, everything is not as good as you Yusheng, so it is more appropriate for you to do this." ”

No matter what Liu Xi said, Ma Xiu just didn't allow it, and in desperation, he had to whisper according to Ma Xiu on the side, and reluctantly finished the sacrifice.

"Alright, it's time to eat!"

Liu Xi, who was tired and sweating profusely, said this with a smile, and everyone else danced, and Wu Shuang'er jumped like a little rabbit.

The dishes on the table were full of tempting aromas, Liu Xi looked at Zhang Xiaoquan's mother and son who were a little restrained on their faces, and said softly with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, I'm tired of you today, if there is no Aunt Zhang, can I eat such delicious food?" Koizumi is also very hard-working, and arranges many things in an orderly manner, so I think I should give you a cup of arms and son. ”

Saying that, Liu Xi raised the lotus white porcelain cup, Ma Xiu and others naturally raised their glasses with a voice, and the cup that was not good at drinking was filled with a green and clear liquid, which was the juice squeezed out by Liu Xi himself with a pestle, with sweetness in the sourness, not only the little girl couldn't put it down, but Qin still liked it with Tian Xun'er.

"Aunt Zhang, Xiaoquan, Yusheng's meaning is what we mean, we will be a family in the future, there is no other preference for embroidery, but I love to eat two bites of deliciousness, and I hope that Aunt Zhang can open a small boil for embroidery, let me have a feast!"

"Me too, Aunt Zhang, remember to make more!"

Xiao Wu shouted with a smile, and then looked back at Dawu who raised his glass, squeezed his eyes and said, "And my brother, I have to make three copies now." ”

"The slave family wants to learn embroidery from Aunt Zhang."

Qin still said with a spring breeze on his face, Tian Xun'er also nodded with a smile on his face, and Qu Lang said in a deep voice, "Xiaoquan is very good." ”

When Zhang Xiaoquan's mother and son got up in panic and didn't know what to do, Wu Shuang'er took the lead in drinking the green and clear liquid in the cup, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his little hands, pretending to be proud, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Holding Zhang Hu's eyes with crystal sparkles, Zhang Xiaoquan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the turbulent waves in his chest, picked up the wine cup on the table with one hand and choked up, "Zhang Xiaoquan has thanked you, and the great kindness and great virtue are remembered in my heart." ”

After that, I drank it in a big gulp, I don't know if it was unstable, or it was the first time I drank alcohol, and under the violent cough, my face turned red, and it took a while to stop, and I looked at everyone with some shame, which attracted a burst of laughter.

The New Year, the laughter is non-stop, the jade glass is glazed, the wine is not drunk, and everyone is drunk.

While eating, Liu Xi put down the chopsticks, "Eat and drink too much, you have to slow down, Xiaowu, don't lose to today, so is the waves, Dawu's alcohol is like a sea, you have to work harder!" ”

After laughing a few words, Liu Xi walked out of the house, walked to the gate of the courtyard in three or two steps, opened the door, and saw a man with a hat and a black robe standing there.

"Tonight's Lantern Festival, the little prince, the princess and the lord of Shurou will go out of the palace to play."

Although the voice is soft, it is sharp and seems to pinch the throat, which makes people extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

After finishing speaking, the black-robed man stretched out his hand towards Liu Xi, who smiled and took out a purse from his arms, "Father-in-law, on such a festive day, the palace is also jubilant, it is better to find a place to have a few drinks in the streets and alleys, and go to the cold." ”

The black-robed man opened the purse, glanced at it, then stuffed it into his chest, protected it with his hands again, didn't say much, turned his head and left in a hurry.
