Three days before the Chinese New Year, Luo Wen and Song Yujing called all the people in the house, each divided the money, and also rewarded one or two, only let the family have children in the house, and let the rest of the people go home for the New Year, and come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Qingxing and Hongmei were supposed to go home, but they were brought by their parents since they were children, and they were fortunate to ...... But now I can't go back there, so I also stayed to celebrate the New Year with Luo Qing.

Luo Qing couldn't help but think of herself when she heard their life experiences, and thought that even if it was only them, she would have to have a lively year.

She had seen it in her travel chronicles, and northerners love to eat dumplings during the New Year, so they plan to make dumplings.

Just this rolling dumpling skin stumped her.

In the past, she had only heard that her brother had stayed in the capital, but she didn't know if he was from the capital, or if she knew it when she was leaving, and she didn't have the opportunity to make dumplings for her brother.

How can my brother celebrate the New Year alone?

Qingxing and Hongmei thought that she was so lost because she couldn't roll dumpling skins, Qingxing hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and said, "Girl, the slave can roll the dumpling skin, the slave will teach you." ”

Hongmei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Girl, don't you know, Qingxing's best skills are dough and rolling skin, and the skin is thin and not easy to rot." ”

Luo Qing quipped: "Then what will you do?" ”

Unexpectedly, Hongmei patted her chest and said: "The slave will chop the stuffing, the stuffing made by the slave and the maid, I will ensure that you are satisfied." ”

Not to mention, Hongmei's hands and feet are really sharp, and it won't take long to prepare the filling, including onions, ginger, garlic, cabbage, pork, and then the double knife is chopping, chopping and chopping, the knife touches the cutting board, and the sound is endless, which is dazzling to see Luo Qing.

Looking at Qingxing again, she was already soaking flour, and she was ready to roll out the skin, so she was busy going to school again.

I saw that she was holding a rolling pin in her left hand, and her right hand kept turning the skin, and after a while, a piece of skin was placed on the side of the board.

Luo Qing picked up a piece and looked at it, not to mention the exaggerated praise of being as thin as cicada wings, but it was indeed Luo Qing who had seen the thinnest person rolling the skin, although she had never seen a few people rolling the skin.

Qingxing saw her eagerness to try, so she let her come and began to teach her hand in hand.

"You should hold the rolling pin steadily, but you can't pinch it rigidly, you must be flexible, don't be in a hurry when turning the dough, you must press it in every place, so that the rolled out skin is evenly proportioned......"

Luo Qing is very talented in eating, and when she touches this noodles, she feels different: "The fact that the rolled out dough is not rotten has a lot to do with this and noodles, right?" ”

"Yes." Qingxing helped Luo Qing roll out a dough again.

At the beginning, Luo Qing's dough was thick and uneven, and her talent was still quite high, and the master was also very good, and she rolled more than 30 doughs in a row, which can be regarded as being able to handle the dough, although it is not as good as Qingxing's, it is not too ugly.

Several people soaked in the kitchen for two hours, and finally put the dumplings in the pot.

Hongmei obviously liked to eat these dumplings very much, and began to talk again, with a look of intoxication on her face.

"This dumpling, you don't need any condiments, just dip it in vinegar, take a bite, the fat in it seeps out, that smell......"

Luo Qing was also said to be greedy by Hongmei, and looked at the dumplings in the pot that rose and fell like ears, and waited for Qingxing to give an order to scoop up the dumplings.

At this time, there were not many people in the kitchen, and after a few people scooped up the dumplings, they didn't care about taking them back to the room to eat, Luo Qing directly picked up the chopsticks and dipped them in vinegar and ate a piece, it was hot and refreshing, covering his mouth and sighing.

It was easy to calm down, and she saw Qingxing and Hongmei standing on the side, neither of them moved their chopsticks, Hongmei was the funniest, her eyes were shining when she looked at the dumplings, and she swallowed her saliva, but she still stood there without moving.

She couldn't help but laugh: "What do you do? Today's New Year's Day, there are no masters and servants, eat quickly. ”

"Huh!" Hongmei picked up the chopsticks and ate them in response, and Qingxing no longer adhered to the way of master and servant as before, and also picked up the chopsticks and ate.

After eating, a few people sat on the bench on the side with their round bellies and rested.

"Actually, Ming'er should bring you to eat, but Ming'er is going to eat with the old lady at noon, and we have to have a reunion dinner in the evening, so we will advance this year, and take you to put the lights tomorrow night."

Qingxing and Hongmei have never felt any love since they were children, and they are very grateful for the kindness of their master, but now that they see Luo Qing treating them so sincerely, they only feel that their hearts are sour and soft, and they can't help but redden.

Qingxing could still hold back, and Hongmei cried out like a child: "No one has ever taken care of our New Year, and no one has thought of taking us to put the lights." ”

Hongmei's cry frightened Luo Qing at a loss, so she had to take out a handkerchief to let her wipe her tears, and then told her not to cry.

"If there is a chance, we will celebrate the New Year together in the future."

Qingxing and Hongmei nodded heavily, no matter what happens in the future, it is good for their girls to have this heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year.

There was no snow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Wen was also happy, and after eating wine in the evening, he waved his hand and let them go out to the night market.

After Luo Qing came to the capital, in addition to going to the academy, he stayed in Luo's mansion, and rarely went out, let alone going out at this time, so he was naturally happy.

The capital is worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven, the night market is not prosperous, it is full of people, rubbing shoulders, and the streets are full of lights, reflecting the lights of the whole street, and it looks like day at a glance.

After walking with them for a while, Luo Yangshu couldn't bear it anymore, so he left them and left with his attendants.

Luo Yangming was not at ease, so he couldn't help but tell a few words, but I don't know if Luo Yangshu heard it.

Luo Rulan pouted: "The eldest brother is always like this, don't care about him, second brother, let's go to the front and see the lanterns." ”

As she spoke, she pulled Luo Yangming forward, Luo Qing pulled Luo Ruyue and hurriedly followed, although Luo Ruyan didn't like to follow people, but they came together, she didn't dare to go alone, so she followed them.

"Girl, look at the lanterns? The lanterns I have here are the best in the whole night market, so buy one. ”

This is night, not as strict as the rules in the daytime, and it is not easy to see, Luo Qing and the others did not wear a hat when they came out, so they put the hood they wore behind the cloak on their heads.

At this time, Luo Rulan was tired of walking, so she didn't even wear the hood of her cloak, and opened it to look at the lantern intently.

Luo Yangming shook his head and smiled, turned back to Luo Qing and said, "A few sisters, don't wait for Rulan Xuan, you can also take a look together, the second brother will give it to you." ”

Several people smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother." ”

Luo Rulan glanced at them, but she didn't say anything unhappy during the New Year, she just stood in the middle and didn't let them.

This lantern is really good-looking, there are cute and playful, there are quiet and elegant, and finally Luo Qing chose to pick a painting with pear blossoms, and Luo Rulan is painted with rabbits, Luo Ruyan is painted with peonies, and there is a poem on the side.

Luo Rulan saw it and mocked: "Vassal elegance!" ”

Luo Ruyan didn't say anything, only smiled, but Luo Yangming on the side said a word about Luo Rulan.

Luo Rulan snorted: "She is pretending to be well-behaved in front of you!" ”

With that, she walked away.

Luo Yangming shook his head and said to Luo Ruyan: "Third sister, don't mind." ”

Luo Ruyan shook his head: "Second brother, let's go chase the fourth sister." ”

Luo Yangming nodded, turned around and paid the silver and walked forward.

Luo Qing looked at it from behind, and felt that her four sisters were really true temperament, and she didn't know how to hide her likes and dislikes at all.

"Sixth sister, let's go too."

But when she turned around, she saw Luo Ruyue standing there with empty hands.

She looked further ahead, Luo Yangming and they were about to disappear.

"Otherwise, I'll give you this lamp of mine, and we'll go after the second brother first."

"......"

Luo Ruyue hesitated.

"I happen to have one in my hand, so I'll give it to you."

A lantern painted with red plums appeared in front of Luo Ruyue.

Luo Ruyue looked up in a daze, it was Chengjing, the person who always talked and laughed among the talents.

Luo Qing saw it and saluted Chengjing: "I've seen the little marquis." ”

Luo Ruyue endured the throbbing in her heart, buried her head and bowed to Chengjing, and her voice was low and cut: "I've seen the little marquis." ”

Cheng Jing smiled loudly: "Take it, I don't think much of a man holding this lamp." ”

Luo Ruyue couldn't help but glance up at Cheng Jing, but saw that he was looking at her with a smile, she seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Luo Qing was about to step forward to refuse for Luo Ruyue, but Luo Ruyue stretched out her hand to take it and thanked her in a low voice.

Luo Qing was very surprised, but she didn't expect Luo Ruyue, who was always timid, to pick up.

At this time, Cheng Jing asked, "What?" Are the five girls and the six girls out to play? ”

Luo Qing raised his eyes again, where was Luo Yangming and them?

She had no choice but to ask Qingxing and Hongmei, who were following them, and Qingxing replied, "Second brother, they went forward." ”

Cheng Jing smiled: "It just so happens that I am also visiting the night market, and I am alone on the left and right, so I will accompany the two girls to find Brother Luo." ”

Luo Qing also wanted to find an opportunity to ask him what the second thing was, but he didn't refuse, and several people went forward together.

The sixth sister was still on the side, Luo Qing was very hesitant, not knowing whether to ask at this time, but if she didn't ask, it would be even more difficult for them to ask when she found the second brother later.

At this moment, I heard Chengjing say: "It turns out that they put lanterns over there." ”

Luo Qing looked up and saw a river in front of him, and many people were placing lotus lanterns by the river, both men and women, all of whom were extremely religious.

One by one, the lotus lanterns were put down and floated along the river, like a galaxy sprinkled with stars.

Luo Qing couldn't help but think of her brother again, and she couldn't help but read it out: "Brother......"

Cheng Jing was standing beside her, and at this time, he could hear her murmur again, and he couldn't help but think of her brother who she was in a daze when he rescued her from the river that day.

He intuitively felt that this person was very important to Luo Qing, and his heart seemed to be burning with fire, so he inevitably rushed a little when he asked: "This brother is not your second brother, right?" ”

When Luo Qing came back to his senses, he was about to deny it, but he heard him say again: "Don't tell me that it's your big brother." ”

Luo Qing was a little angry rarely, a sarcastic smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he looked up at Chengjing calmly for the first time: "Brother is brother, there is no big brother and second brother." ”
