Chapter 150: Chinese New Year

Everyone sat down and divided labor, rolling dough for dough, and dumplings for dumplings. Li Jingjue stood on top of her sister and passed the rolled dough to Li Jingshan, who skillfully picked up the filling and put it into the skin, held the edge of the dough with both hands and pinched it, and a bulging dumpling stood on the table.

Li Jingjue looked at Li Jingshan wrapping a few, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Sister, how many tongbao have you washed?" Are you going to let this room full of people eat a lucky copper coin each? ”

"Shh Li Jingshan replied with a smile while her subordinates did not stop, "Good luck is what everyone looks forward to, and a thought of the New Year is sometimes the strength to support people to spend the whole year." In that case, why not make a few more wishes. ”

Li Jingjue smiled, "Sister, you have a heart like you, you really look like a bodhisattva in the temple who responds to all requests." ”

Li Jingshan said with a smile, "Nonsense." Your sister and I are just mortals, and we have a good meal of dumplings. The subordinates kept going, and another fat white dumpling stood on the table.

Looking at it, Li Jingshan has a lot of bags, but in terms of good looks, she is much worse than the students from the north. There are various forms of dumplings on the table, there are flowers and birds, small animals, ingots, all kinds of dumplings, and some dumplings are so delicate that everyone is reluctant to put their mouths.

Everyone laughed and said, "This must be the use of the ancestral noodle kneading technique." ”

These dumplings of different shapes are sent to the cage drawer to be steamed. brought the hot one to the table, and everyone rushed to grab it regardless of their demeanor, and the dishes and chopsticks flew in front of the table.

The dumplings are enough, and everyone is not afraid that they will not have to eat it late, but for the hot atmosphere, everyone laughs.

After eating two, someone sighed and shouted, "I have eaten Tongbao!" Hahaha, lucky money is with me. ”

Everyone laughed and said congratulations, and the man smiled from ear to ear.

After a while, he said, "What's wrong with my teeth...... Yo, I've got lucky money too! Everyone looked at him and smiled, and you said auspicious words to me.

One after another, people ate lucky money, and then everyone gradually came back to their senses and began to laugh and wait for the next lucky person.

Li Jingjue also got a lucky coin. When making dumplings, he was still laughing at Li Jingshan, and when he bit the hard coin, he was still so excited that he laughed out loud, and he almost hugged Li Jingshan and laughed and danced. At this time, he finally felt that what his sister said, giving people a beautiful feeling of hope, just one thought, it was extremely exciting.

The last person to eat the lucky money was Lai Ching Shan. She looked at the round coin in her palm and smiled warmly.

After eating dumplings, Li Jingjue wanted to rush back to celebrate the New Year with her classmates, Li Jingshan wrapped some of the remaining dumplings for him and brought him back and sent him out.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and they went to the New Year's Eve in twos and threes. Ye Qing and they were naturally still together. Now in winter, naturally I can't meet in the small pavilion in the Lingering Garden, so I found an empty workshop, put on two fire plates, sat around the stove with a little wine and food, ate and chatted, and waited for the arrival of midnight.

Wang Minzhi buried peanuts and chestnuts in the charcoal fire, "It's a long night, if you don't have some fun, how can you survive." Let's have some games. ”

Everyone remembered that it was organized by Li Jingshan during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they all turned their heads to look at her.

Li Jingshan said in her heart, spare me. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll play that game, and nothing else." ”

Zhuang Runqing said with a smile, "Night talk around the fireplace is the most suitable for talking about ancient things." Let's tell the story. ”

"It's not good, it's not good, you want to tell ghost stories for the New Year!?" Wang Minzhi was the first to object.

"Why don't you play with the Flying Flower Order?" Meng Shu proposed, "A night talk around the fireplace can also be done with a poem." ”

Even Ye Qing waved his hand again and again, "I can't play such an elegant game." ”

Li Jingshan thought that Jingbao Pavilion was going to change the official family as a marketing object, and they were bound to know something about the activities of these official eunuchs, so she suggested, "We can choose a simple topic, such as ...... Receive orders by numbers. ”

Seeing that Zhuang Runqing was still embarrassed, Li Jingshan said again: "If you can't answer the poem, you can also deal with it in other forms, such as opera lyrics, so it's always okay, right?" ”

The rules were agreed, everyone sat around the fireplace, and began to take orders.

Li Jingshan first said, "The rules of the game are proposed by me, and I will come first." 'Thousands of laughs are delayed'.

This poem is Jing Rengong's "Chinese New Year's Eve Occasional Success", she said it at this time, and it should be the right time.

"Okay, it's my turn." Wang Minzhi glanced at Zhuang Runqing beside him, cleared his throat, and said, "Mine is 'Jinse Unprovoked Fifty Strings, One String and One Pillar Si Hua Nian'." ”

Meng Shu and Li Jingshan both looked up at Wang Minzhi. Wang Minzhi's face was slightly red under their gaze, and she picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine in disguise.

However, Zhuang Runqing didn't realize it at all, he scratched his head and said, "I don't know how to write poetry, but I remember that I heard the old man say an interesting couplet before." The upper link is 'two, three, four, five', and the lower link is 'six, seven, eight, nine'. Guess what that means? ”

Thanks to the abundant information in modern times, Li Jingshan has heard of this interesting couplet, but she just smiled lightly. The rest of the people were thinking hard, and Meng Shu smiled, "This is a funny word puzzle, right?" The riddle is 'lack of clothing (1) and food (10)'? ”

Zhuang Runqing clapped his hands and smiled, "Haha, Miss Meng is quick to think, and the horizontal criticism of the couplet is exactly 'lack of food and clothing'." His face was slightly red in the light of the fire.

Wang Minzhi picked up a peanut and threw it at Zhuang Runqing, "You foodie, you really don't forget to eat it at any time!" ”

Zhuang Runqing took the peanut in his hand, peeled it off and put it in his mouth, only smiling.

Next to Ye Qing. He thought for a moment and said: "A kind of lovesickness, the two places are idle, only to frown, but to the heart." ”

Meng Shu glanced at Ye Qing, and her eyes darkened. Li Jingshan saw it in her eyes and held Meng Shu's hand under the table.

Meng Shu smiled gratefully, broke free of Li Jingshan's hand, and said, "It's my turn." 'As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. ’”

Li Jingshan sighed in her heart, this love word is the most abrasive. She has already picked the most secure digital topic, who wants to be able to pull out a bunch of love poems.

In this way, you went back and forth a few times, and before you knew it, the sound of artillery outside was getting denser. Everyone got up and gathered in front of the main hall of Dao Tianqiao Hall, waiting for the bell to ring at midnight, and the steward of the hall lit the firecrackers hanging high in front of the hall. In the crackling sound and the red light, everyone greeted each other with joy.

With a bright smile on her face, Li Jingshan waved her hand at the bright firelight and saluted the people she met. She looked at the fireworks rising and falling in the sky, and wished in her heart with hope: New year, new atmosphere, and good times in the coming year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jingshan slept lazily and didn't get up until the third pole of the day. Thinking that Ruan Mingyu had no time to take care of himself in the past two days, he went to the street with Meng Shu and the others. After walking for a long time, I couldn't stand the surging crowds on the street.

Li Jingshan sighed that the demographic dividend in the prosperous era has never been broken, whether it is modern or this unknown ancient in history. In short, there are a lot of people!

Zhuang Runqing and Wang Minzhi are real warriors, fearless in the face of the surging crowds, and move forward bravely. Li Jingshan had no choice but to return to Tianqiao Hall by herself. I took a long nap relaxed, planning to make up for all the sleep I owed when I went to school.

However, by the end of the evening, the shoppers had not returned. Li Jingshan went to the dining hall by herself to eat some dinner, looking at the empty Tianqiao Hall, and felt bored again.

She was wondering if she was going to Guozijian to find Li Jingjue, but she unexpectedly waited for Ruan Mingyu.

Li Jingshan looked at the young master at the door and stretched out his hand to her with a smile on his face, and the joy in his heart was about to overflow. This person is always there when she needs it, just in time, it's so sweet!

"It's cold or not, I'm going to take you up the mountain." Ruan Mingyu took out a rabbit down cloak and gave it to her.

"Go to Cangshan?" Li Jingshan took Young Master Ruan's hand with great interest and got into the carriage.

"Yes, go up the mountain and pray for blessings." Nguyen Minh Yu's eyes shone brightly in the night.

Li Jingshan hummed excitedly. She didn't care much about praying for blessings, but she loved the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain.

When he arrived at the Tibetan Mountain Temple at the foot of the mountain, Ruan Mingyu first took Li Jingshan to incense, gave the temple a sum of incense, and asked the monks in the temple to prepare two meditation rooms to rest.

The monks in the temple were already familiar with this great patron, and the abbot personally came out to entertain them, and arranged a meditation room for them in a separate courtyard.

The monk led them to the gate of the courtyard and said apologetically, "There have been no guests here lately, so I just cleaned up the meditation room." The snow in the yard has not yet had time to be cleared, so please wait a moment. ”

Ruan Mingyu saw that in addition to the road being swept out of the yard, sure enough, the snow on the rocks, flowers and trees on both sides had not been cleaned, but it was naturally interesting.

He stopped the monk and said, "It's okay. It's also fun to keep the snow. It's good to send a set of tea-making utensils over. ”

The guest monk was busy, and after a while, someone sent a set of purple sand tea sets. It was placed under the porch.

Li Jingshan looked at the tea leaves in the tea can, and exclaimed, "It turned out to be the big red robe of Xiashan and the Biluochun of Cuihu!" The welcome tea in this temple is so generous! ”

Those two things are the tribute tea sent to Beijing by Jiangnan, and the luxury goods of a dozen taels of silver and one tael. The point is, if you have money, you can't buy it.

Ruan Mingyu burst out laughing, "Do you think this small temple is a royal tribute courtyard?" How could you afford such a welcome tea. This is the tea I have here for occasionally, and I occasionally bring my friends over to make tea and chat. ”

He instructed Li Jingshan to sweep the snow from the flowers and trees into the porcelain pot with a small broom, and then pour it into the purple clay pot and start boiling water.

Li Jingshan had heard of Young Master Ruan's tea art, but she had been busy and had never seen it. Now under this bright starry sky, in the snowy courtyard, full of Zen atmosphere, can finally appreciate the young master's tea art, Li Jingshan feels that her eyes are full of pink care.
