Chapter 285: New Year's Eve and New Year's Celebration

Qi Yanming, who was in exile in Shuangyu Port, did not know what to do, and the final murderer who caused him to flee twice was Zhou Chong, and Zhou Chong wanted to kill him more than anyone else, so if Zhou Chong found out that Qi Yanming was in Shuangyu Port, then he definitely had no possibility of survival, after all, whether it was public or private, Zhou Zhong firmly controlled Shuangyu Port, and absolutely no one could escape his pursuit here, so Qi Yanming was actually more dangerous here than Daming in Shuangyu Port.

But it's a pity that although Qi Yanming didn't realize the above problems, Zhou Chong also didn't expect Qi Yanming to escape to his lair, as the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, which is most perfectly reflected in the mistakes between Zhou Chong and Qi Yanming.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the backyard of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Aunt Wang sat on the top, Zhou Zhong and Jinxuan sat next to her on the right, Bang'er and Duo'er sat on the right of Aunt Wang, and the Bai sisters and Sanniang were also there, and there was a Sira at the back, because Sila and they were not the Spring Festival, when she heard that this festival was one of the most important festivals for the people of the Central Plains, she immediately clamored to participate, and even planned to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Zhong and them at night.

"Auntie, it's another day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, everyone has worked hard this year, let's all raise our glasses and drink this glass of wine!" Zhou Zhong stood up with a smile and raised his wine glass and said, he is the only man in the family, naturally the head of the family, so naturally he will preside over the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at this time.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, they all raised their wine glasses and drank them all, but Aunt Wang was a vegetarian who believed in Buddhism, and Jinxuan was pregnant. Duo'er and Qingqing's old wife. So the four of them drank the juice that was carefully prepared.

Except for Sanniang. The rest of the bracelets are not very good at drinking, today is the Chinese New Year to accompany Zhou Chong to drink a little, but after a glass of wine, they are all called spicy, Zhou Chong and Sanniang are looking at Ha Lu Ha Da Lang smiled, and beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat vegetables, and waited until they ate a few mouthfuls of food, which felt much better.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhou Chong has spent the New Year with his family after coming to Daming. At this time last year, he had the opportunity to accompany Bang'er and them for the New Year, but he didn't expect to be calculated by Xie Lingyun, and the two of them ended up on a desert island.

Originally, Zhou Zhong wanted to spend a good year together as a family, but Aunt Wang and Bang'er said that the Bai sisters and Sanniang had no family, and it was really pitiful to stay alone in the Chamber of Commerce during the New Year, so it was better to invite them all. As for Sila, it doesn't need to be said, even if she is not invited. She'll be cheeky and stay at home.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Steward Xu's family should also participate in the Chinese New Year, but in the summer of this year, Su Niang gave birth to a fat boy of more than seven catties to Steward Xu, whose nickname is called Seven Pounds, and the name has not been taken for the time being, saying that it will be taken when the child grows up and goes to private school, it is said that this can bless the child to grow up, because the child does not have a big name, and there is no child's name on the life and death book of Lord Yama, and naturally there is no way to hook away the child's soul. Of course, this statement is full of loopholes, and it is just a kind of self-consolation for the child's parents.

When Qijin was born, Steward Xu and Su Niang were very happy, and the happiness of being parents made them feel that their lives seemed to be much more complete. But when the joy passed, the couple were tortured by this child, they couldn't wake up during the day, and they couldn't stop crying at night.

However, now seven pounds is still too small, the six-month-old child cries at every turn, and Butler Xu is afraid that the child will quarrel with everyone, and at the same time, he is afraid that everyone will quarrel with the child, so he did not have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.

Speaking of which, this year is definitely a happy year for the Zhou family, first of all, the chamber of commerce in the family is becoming more and more prosperous under Zhou Chong's care, the second is that Zhou Chong not only got married, but also Jinxuan was pregnant with their first child, and the third is that Zhou Chong was appreciated by Emperor Zhengde, and became an official of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and he was also the governor of the four seas of the feudal officials, which also made the prestige of the Zhou family reach its peak for a while.

It is also these changes in the family that make Aunt Wang and Bang'er very happy, and even Bang'er doesn't care that she can't drink, she has to give her brother a few glasses, but the most drunk is that her little face is full of redness, if it weren't for Bai Mengwan to help her, I'm afraid Bang'er would fall asleep on the table all of a sudden.

Sila's first Spring Festival, she felt very fresh about everything, and asked Zhou Chong about the Spring Festival from time to time, and it happened that Zhou Chong really knew a lot about the Spring Festival, so she told Ciela a lot of allusions about the Spring Festival, and Bai Junwan was also a well-educated woman, and she also helped Zhou Chong add a lot of stories about the Spring Festival, which not only opened Sila's eyes, but even Zhou Chong admired Bai Junwan's erudition.

After eating a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Zhong played mahjong with the Bai sisters and Sila, Bang'er had fallen asleep on the bed because of a few more drinks, Aunt Wang and Sanniang and Jinxuan sat under the lamp to make dumplings, which was prepared for tomorrow morning, as for Duo'er and Qingqing, the two troublemakers, they were running around the yard, and from time to time they would steal a few of Zhou Zhong's mahjong cards, or go to taste raw dumplings, and their faces were full of flour, without a moment of Ansheng.

waited until the third watch, Aunt Wang and the others had already wrapped the dumplings, and the bracelet also woke up at this time. So at the moment of the alternation of the New Year and the Old Year, Zhou Chong took everyone to the yard, took out the fireworks that had been prepared for a long time and lit them, with the arrival of the New Year, the fireworks flew over Shuangyu Port, and the ten years of Zhengde finally passed, and Zhou Chong also ushered in his third year in Daming.

After setting off the fireworks, Zhou Zhong and they still went back to play mahjong, after all, they had to stay awake all night, and their stomachs had already been fed, so they could only use this method to kill time. But now that Bang'er woke up, she just got together with Aunt Wang, Sanniang, and Jinxuan, so there were two tables of mahjong in a room, and they "crackled" all night.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the first rooster crowed, Zhou Chong and the young people immediately greeted the two elders, Aunt Wang and Sanniang, and then begged for New Year's money with a smile. Zhou Zhong calculated, the money won last night was not enough for a red envelope, it was a big loss, but it will be different when the child is born next year, and it will definitely be earned back by then.

Next, Zhou Zhong took Jinxuan and them to pay New Year's greetings to Steward Xu, Uncle Camel and other elderly people, and then he took Sanniang, Bai Junwan and other important stewards of the Chamber of Commerce to Nanyang Town, to pay New Year's greetings to the Chamber of Commerce personnel living in the town, and by the way, send the New Year's red envelopes to the people, which is also one of the ways for the Chamber of Commerce to win people's hearts.

After greeting the people in the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong immediately took a boat to Nangang District, after all, he was about to marry Xie Lingyun, and Xie Da also made great efforts for the establishment of the Haimeng during this time, so whether it was public or private, he had to celebrate the New Year, and of course, by the way, he also talked to Xie Lingyun.

By the time Zhou Zhong finished the above things, he was already exhausted, after all, he played mahjong all night yesterday, and it was strange to be energetic. However, when he dragged his heavy body back home, Aunt Wang and the others had already made dumplings, and Zhou Chong also felt a little hungry at this time, so he ate some of them in a strong spirit, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Slept until the afternoon, Zhou Chong woke up from his sleep, looked at the sleeping Jinxuan next to him, Zhou Chong stood up lightly and got dressed, walked out of the door to look at the sunny weather outside, but felt a little depressed, because this year's winter in Shuangyu Port is not only not cold, but also a little warm, and it is impossible to snow, which makes Zhou Chong feel that the taste of the New Year is much lighter.

"If you have the opportunity to go to the north for the next year in the future, looking at the snow scene outside, eating hot pot and drinking wine, that is the feeling of the New Year!" Zhou Zhong said to himself, he was a northerner in his previous life, so he naturally associated the New Year with the cold weather, the weather was abnormal last year, and the Songjiang area was also very cold, so he didn't feel anything, but this year, the climate in Shuangyu Port was warm, which immediately made Zhou Chong a little uncomfortable.

Just when Zhou Zhong was complaining about the warm weather in Shuangyu Port, the little maid Thrush beside Jinxuan came in from outside the door, and when she saw Zhou Chong standing in the yard, she immediately bowed down and said, "Master, Madame Bai said that she has something to discuss with you, and now she is with Miss in the garden, saying that if you are free, you will go to the garden to meet her." ”

Hearing that Bai Junwan wanted to see him, Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of something, nodded and said: "Zhilu Dao, Madame hasn't woken up yet, don't disturb her for the time being, I'll go to the garden to see Madame Bai." ”

After instructing Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong came to the garden in the backyard at the moment, and as soon as he entered the gate of the garden, he immediately heard bursts of laughter like silver bells from inside.

When Zhou re-stepped in the direction where the laughter came, he soon saw the three of them sitting on the swing, and with the dance of the swing, the clothes and ribbons floated in the wind, looking like flying fairies, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.

In a pavilion not far from the swing, Bai Junwan, who has a quiet temperament, is sitting there reading a book, speaking of which this woman is really a book lover, as long as she is free, she will hold the book, and her reading is extremely wide, whether it is astronomy and geography or astrological divination, she can almost like to read, but I don't know what she is looking for herself this time?
