Ah Jue took Ling'er and swept the entire courtyard room, and left and left followed the master to write Spring Festival couplets before and after running. The master writes a painting and takes one away, takes it to a place to dry, and then takes it to Sheng'er to stick to the door, and each door is replaced with a New Year couplet, which is also a personal work in this big courtyard of the master.

By the time everyone is busy, it's almost time.

"Master, the Spring Festival couplets have been pasted, can you set off the cannon?" Sheng'er came in and asked for instructions.

"Well, then I'll write two more." Shigong doesn't know what's going on lately, he is always distracted, he has been writing Spring Festival couplets for so many years, and he can write two more. "Then you go and set off the cannon and let Zuo'er stay away."

"Yes, Master." Sheng'er went out and looked at Shigong worriedly.

"Senior Brother Sheng, Senior Brother Sheng, Big Brother?!" Ling'er didn't turn around to look at her until the third sound.

"What's wrong?" Sheng'er asked

"Shout you three times, why are you having a problem with your master now, distracted." Ling'er complained.

"I'm also thinking about what's going on with Shigong, he wrote two more Spring Festival couplets today. People who have written Spring Festival couplets for so many years, how can they write more. I guess if my master has something on his mind, I have always seen him wandering recently. Sheng'er said.

"I've found this problem too." Ling'er agreed.

"After the New Year, ask the master to find a Lang Zhong to take a look, right?" Sheng'er discussed with Ling'er.

"Is the Guild willing?" Ling'er looked in the direction of Shigong, "His temper, you can't even say that he is sick, let alone ask a doctor to come and see him." ”

"I'll go and discuss with the master." Sheng'er is gone.

Ling'er walked to Shigong, the door was open, and there was a symbolic knock on the door, and Shigong looked up at Ling'er from the inside: "Come in." ”

"Master, have you been thinking about anything lately, always wandering away? Ignore the shouting, is there something going on? Ling'er walked up to Shigong and looked at him with concern.

"Silly girl, there's really nothing wrong, Shigong just reminisces about the past, recalls some of the past." Shi Gong looked at this little girl who looked like Zhen Zhen, and the expression on his face was indeed like His Majesty the Emperor.

"Master, tell Ling'er about your past, right? Ling'er wanted to hear it. How did you meet my father and queen mother? Ling'er asked curiously.

"Little girl, want to know? Not today, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is busy, if you want to say that it will take a while, you have to wait for the free time Shigong to talk to you slowly. The master looked at this little girl with loving eyes.

"Master, what good things did my father give you, you always helped him match me and Ah Jue." Ling'er asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Hmph, your father has so many good things, why don't you tell me something." Shigong turned his head and pretended to be angry. "Ah Jue, what's wrong, I'm also old friends with General Wen! I like that kid very much, he has a good temperament, he treats people kindly, and kind-hearted children are always so pleasant. ”

"Ah Jue is indeed very good, and he was well educated by General Wen." Ling'er thought that Ah Jue was also full of joy.

"Then why do you ask? If it weren't for your father begging me to match you, hmph, Ah Jue, an excellent child, doesn't need to be involved with the royal family at all. "Shigong seems to dislike the royal family.

"Do you have any misunderstandings about my family?" Ling'er said that she could, but she couldn't say that her father and queen mother followed home.

"What a misunderstanding, I was an old man in the palace when your father was still the prince of Qi." Shigong blurted out.

Ling'er's eyes widened, and she looked incredulous, "Then why haven't I heard my father and queen mother mention you?" ”

"After your father ascended the throne, I will go back to the valley." Shigong looked at Ling'er, thought about it, and didn't want to talk more at this time, "Let's go, take you to the kitchen to see, do you need any help, do you still have some wine at night?" ”

"Ah Jue won't tell me to drink, go, I'll go and light the fire to help." Ling'er went out with Shigong.

"Left left?" Shigong went out first, and met Zuozuo at the door.

"Master, you talk to your sister, Zuo'er doesn't dare to go in." Left left is a little restrained at the doorway.

"Haha, I didn't talk to Ling'er about anything, it's all gossip." Shi Gong smiled and hugged Zuo Zuo, the little guy is also his father's beloved son-in-law at home, and he has been so restrained here, which makes him feel a little distressed, "Zuo Zuo, this is your other home, this is the home for a few years of learning art, the master beat you last time because you made a mistake, at home, you made a mistake and your father also beat you, isn't it?" The master is not terrible. ”

"Yes, Zuo'er remembered." Zuozuo put his arms around the master's neck, very happy.

Ling'er followed behind him to the kitchen to see if there was anything he needed help with, and when he arrived at the place, the master walked to his fourth senior brother with Zuozuo in his arms and asked: "Get some food for Xiao Zuo'er, the child is growing up, what should I do if I am hungry, we can not eat at noon, the children still have to eat at noon." ”

"Master, it's all ready, don't worry, the children have food at noon, let's eat and drink well at night." The fourth child raised his head and looked at his master and spoke.

"Well, this meat is cut and put on a plate to look delicious, make a bowl of mats for Zuo Zuo first, run like this and run like that in the morning, it's time to be hungry." Shi Gong pointed to the plate of braised beef and spoke.

"There's still it over there, this time Ling'er's father sent a lot of beef, I marinated more, you see it's all here." The fourth child opened a basin with a lid, and it was full of marinated beef.

"That's it, cut a bowl for Zuozuo." Shi Gong hugged Zuo Zuo to the table next to the kitchen and sat and waited.

"Fourth Uncle, can Ling'er come to help? I don't know what to do. Ling'er stood there a little embarrassed.

"Go and wash the dish, there's warm mountain spring water here." The fourth uncle pointed to the side and said.

Ling'er glanced at the beef, and didn't dare to say that she wanted to eat it, after all, she was not a child like Zuozuo.

"Haha, don't look at the drooling, cut more later, with yours, snuggle up there to light the fire, and come to eat some later." The fourth uncle looked at the children and smiled happily.

"Uncle Xie." Ling'er was exposed, and she was a little embarrassed, "I'll work first, and I'll eat later, don't worry." ”

"I'll also light the fire first, and I'll eat it later." Yiyi also poked her head out of the place where the fire was burning.

"Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll cut first." The fourth uncle looked at the three children in the kitchen, they were still young, they were poor in this life, the master did not call them big fish and big meat, occasionally some game to satisfy their hunger, and the rest were green vegetables. "Master, you see that the children of these big families are also able to endure hardships, and they will all be powerful characters in the future."

"That's, my Murong Qingyang's apprentice and grandson, which one can be worse." Master Murong also had a very arrogant expression, "Their future is also an unspeakable character, and what they hone is just their will." ”

"It's still a master." The fourth complimented him.

"Cut the beef, anything else?" Shigong asked.

"There are also some pig's feet, which are also just marinated in the morning." The fourth replied.

"Get some of them." Shigong didn't look at him either, and poured some corn juice from the pot for Zuozuo to drink, "Old Five, you will go to the backyard cellar to get a bottle of good wine, the bottle hidden in the easternmost place." ”

"Is the master willing to drink the wine from the cellar?" Lao Wu turned to look at the master.

"Look at your gluttony, take two pots out!" Xiao Lao'er is also happy today.

"Yes!" The fifth child was playing with a spatula and the soup was everywhere, and the fourth child jumped up in fright and hid aside.

"Fifth junior brother, you should also be careful, you are covered in oil." The fourth complained.

"Haha, sorry, sorry." The fifth happily gave the spatula to the fourth, "It's troublesome, take a look at the pot for me, I'll go get the wine, and the provincial master regrets it." ”

"Look at your unproductive appearance, I have a few jars of new wine in my house, and you can bring them to the cellar with you." The little old man looked at the fifth child.

"Hey, I'll do it." Lao Wu ran away with a gust of wind.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is finally about to start in the anticipation of a large family, before the start, the cannon is first released to worship the ancestors, everyone begins to sit in the seats according to the generation, and then begins to sift the wine.

"Master, Ling'er really can't drink, she drank and I can't eat my Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you can do well, hurt the apprentice." Ah Jue saw that Sheng'er was going to sift wine for Ling'er, and she was very frightened.

"Then what did Ling'er drink today?" Shigong asked.

"Let's drink corn juice with Zuozuo." Ling'er doesn't want to drink anymore, this table of good dishes, I haven't eaten so many meat dishes for a long time.

"This year is the year with the most people in our valley, and everyone has worked hard." Shi Gong picked up the wine glass, "May there be today every year, there will be a present day every year, there will be wine today and drunk today, the flowers will be similar every year, and the people will be the same every year!" ”

"May the master (master) stay young forever!" Everyone at the table stood up except for Master Qingyang.

"You're welcome, sit down and drink!" Master Qingyang shook his hand down, and everyone sat down.

"Let's have three drinks together, and we'll talk!" Shigong gave an order: "This wine is a good wine that I have hidden for many years, and I will drink it today!" Here are my red envelopes, everyone has a share, ask for a lottery, drink good wine and eat good food and then come to get it, and if you drink too much, there will be no more! ”

"Yes, Master Xie (Master)" everyone said in unison.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone will find someone to toast. Isn't the joy of the New Year just a lively picture? Everyone is together, you say a word, there is always indescribable happiness, this year is destined to be special, every year is also special.

"Come on, eat dumplings for the New Year, and see who can eat the one with copper coins!" The fourth uncle ran to make dumplings when everyone was eating and drinking, how could there be no dumplings for the New Year, a pot of dumplings, and it would be empty after two laps.

"Oops!" Left left touched his teeth.

"What's wrong, Ah Zuo?" Ah Jue next to him looked at him worriedly, and Ah Zuo spit out a copper coin from his mouth.

"Ah Zuo is the youngest of our age, come on, everyone will touch him and be blessed." Shi Gong spoke, everyone came by flying car from afar, and those who were close stood up and touched Xiao Zuo together, Xiao Zuo looked helpless.

"It's me ......every year," Zuo Zuo complained.

"That's your luck!" Seeing his angry appearance, Shigong couldn't help but come forward to touch him, the appearance of children is always more pleasing than adults, Master Murong Qingyang has no wife and no children in his life, and there have been no children in the valley for a long time, he really likes Zuo Zuo, and he is still the master of the Juque Sword, and he really has high hopes for him.

A group of people stood in the open space in the front yard, looking at the fireworks flying in the sky, Shu Linger and Zuo Zuo were the happiest, jumping and shouting on the side.

"Ling'er, be careful of falling into the dust." Mr. Wang used his big coat to block Ling'er.

"Sir, you're blocking me, I can't even see it, it's hard to have fireworks, just let me see it." Ling'er is not good at playing tricks, and it is not easy for so many people to lose their temper in the New Year.

"Sir, I'll come." Ah Jue stood behind Ling'er and put on the hat behind Ling'er's big hat, "The gray is uncomfortable in the eyes, and it is not easy to wash the hair when it falls, and you are not allowed to take a bath today or tomorrow." ”

Ling'er looked at the same red dragon-patterned brocade as Ah Jue, the same big hat, you put a hat on me, I will bring it to you, jumped up and brought Ah Jue's big hat for him, everyone is watching the fireworks, it is estimated that no one will watch their small movements, Ah Jue turned Ling'er around to look at the fireworks outside, took her hand and put it in her own big hat, Ling'er looked at the fireworks, and couldn't clap or jump, and honestly stood next to Ah Jue to watch the fireworks.

"Everyone will go to the show to entertain themselves in a while, will you go?" Ah Jue asked Ling'er.

"Go, aren't you all together, it's a little abrupt to leave early." Ling'er glanced sideways at Ah Jue.

"What about the vigil? Is it with me or yourself, I guess they will be playing cards in the living room and keeping vigil at night, will you be with you? Ah Jue continued to ask.

"No, I don't know how to play cards, so I'll go to my room and keep a vigil, and add more charcoal fire later." Ling'er thought for a moment.

"I'll be with you." Ah Jue's sentence was not a question, but told Ling'er to accompany her.

"Zuo Zuo is too small, I want to take him..."Ling'er turned her face to look at Ah Jue.

"Yes, let's take him to keep vigil together, don't turn off the lights tonight, Zuozuo is too small, I don't know if I can go to bed when I get there." Ah Jue looked for Zuo Zuo with his eyes, the little guy was still bouncing in front, he was the eldest in the family, no more brothers and sisters, he saw Ah Zuo so innocent and innocent, and he also liked and envied him, how could the young son and the young son be the same, he didn't have Zuo Zuo's treatment when he was a child, his mother had a low status in the Wenfu, he was not welcomed, so he never had Zuo Zuo so willful, he was always well-behaved, would look at people's faces, and didn't cause trouble, now it seems that why not envy Zuo'er, Ling'er gave his mother a flat wife, and now he is also a son-in-law, But can this return to the appearance of his childhood son-in-law, the identity of this sister-in-law is not a little bit better for his mother, and it should be better when he marries Ling'er in the future.

A group of people went into the living room after watching the fireworks, served tea, ate melon seeds and snacks and chatted, everyone played for a while to catch lots to perform the show, Ling'er secretly opened the lot when he breathed a deep sigh of relief, it was good, I didn't smoke, watching everyone perform the six arts of the meeting, the master gave a red envelope, this time it was by age, not by generation, starting from the smallest left left, and then A Jue, Ling'er, Yiyi, Sheng'er.........

Everyone received the red envelope and said a word of thanks and blessings to Murong Qingyang, Shoubi Nanshan, Furu Donghai came out......

The older generation played cards in the living room, and Ling'er wanted to take Zuo Zuo back to the house to keep the New Year, but was stopped by Yiyi, "It's rare that we can play together at night, otherwise it's boring to go back to the house to keep the New Year." ”

Ling'er glanced at Ah Jue after hearing this, and put Zuo Zuo down again: "Okay, let's keep the New Year together." ”
