The ingotfish on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve takes the meaning of more than every year, and like the ingots pot on this night, it can only be seen but not eaten. Of course, there are many more that can be eaten, meat balls, lotus root balls, tofu balls, these three rounds are a must-have for the New Year's Festival, as for the braised pork with bright red glutinous, sour and delicious sour soup fish, and the braised rooster with firm meat is the main dish, and the others are crispy, sweet and delicate green vegetable tofu, and a bite of crispy celery fried tofu.

Because of the cold weather, Du Mei also deliberately put a small stove with big bones next to the table, you can shabu beef slices, mutton slices, spinach, coriander, chrysanthemum, tofu and all the food you want to eat.

The family replaced the wine with tea, ate and drank until the moon climbed up, and then withdrew the table, Zhong Yu took Juniper to play, and Du Mei's family worked together, washing dishes and brushing the pot, stir-frying melon seeds and peanuts in the pot, and rolling dough and dumplings on the table.

In the middle of the moon, the kitchen was cleaned up, the family gathered in the big house, Du Mei burned the charcoal basin early, the room was warm, peanuts, melon seeds, candied candied candy filled the table, the four little giggles and laughed non-stop, Zhong Yu gave them a pulse of peace one by one, and they were all healthy.

"Sister, although your body is better than last year, your qi and blood are insufficient, and you have been in deficit for a long time, and you have to pay attention to maintenance in the future." Zhong Yu gave Xu Shi a careful pulse and said.

"I've been eating the Ejiao cake you gave me for a winter, but it's still not improving? I'm afraid that I'm old, and it won't help to make up for it. Xu withdrew his arm and said jokingly.

"What do you say, my sister is in her prime, like the bright moon in the sky, bright and bright, where is she old!" Zhong Yu didn't like to hear such words the most, and immediately retorted.

"Well, it's good not to be old, let's all live forever, okay?" Xu Shi was rarely happy, covering his mouth and chuckling.

"Okay." Zhong Yu replied very seriously.

Juniper had never played so late unpresumptuously, he was a little sleepy at this time, he hummed and chirped to make trouble with Xu, Xu didn't care about talking to Zhong Yu, and hurriedly took him to wash and coax him to sleep.

"Your cold has improved recently, and the medicine you took last time had a good effect, was it still given by He Lian?" Zhong Yu withdrew his hand and asked with some confusion.

"The medicine I took was the same as the medicine given by Imperial Doctor He last time, but when I go out these days, I have been wearing the Heavenly Silkworm Golden Armor given by Murong Xi, and I feel that it does have some miraculous effects." Du Mei has been running around a long time ago, and with that thin one, it is not so cold.

"Silkworm Golden Armor? I've only seen this in old books. "Zhong Yu is a healer, and he has a natural curiosity about what is recorded in medical books.

"I'm at home today, I just didn't wear it, I'll take a look at you." Du Mei got up and went back to his room to fetch it.

After a while, Du Mei came back, holding a ball of gold in his hand, but when it was spread out in front of Zhong Yu, it suddenly swelled ~ several times larger, and the gold was shining.

"The ancient book says that the silkworm only lives in the red bean forest on the medicine mountain in Dianzhou, and the climate of the medicine mountain is very different from here, where you can wear a single coat to see the flowers blooming on both sides of the glacier, so the species where we are often seen are different.

The silkworms we raise are usually white, but the silkworm is golden, and it only spits silk and forms cocoons every three years, and its cocoons are said to be unbreakable. This silkworm gold armor is said to be made of gold thread and silk finely woven, can resist swords and stabs, for a hundred years, has been the holy object of the Murong family of Tantric Buddhism in Dianzhou. Zhong Yu took a closer look at the golden armor of the silkworm, and it was the same as the description in the ancient book.

"Defend against swords? But Murong Xi only said that the Heavenly Silkworm Golden Armor is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is good for my cold disease. Du Mei frowned.

"Murong Xi? He is a member of the Tantric Murong family? Zhong Yu raised his eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Well, I saw that his butler called him Young Sect Master." Du Mei didn't know what Tantra did, but she was almost sure of Murong Xi's identity.

"How do you know him?" Zhong Yu's heart was full of uneasiness, these people in the rivers and lakes, and the ordinary people should not be provoked.

"I've met a few times by chance, and once I saved him, so I got to know him." Dume said it simply. Most of her acquaintances with Murong Xi were in distress, but she could hide these encounters, and her family knew very little, so she couldn't say anything at this time.

"If what is contained in the ancient book is true, he has the golden armor of the silkworm, and he should not be injured." Zhong Yu frowned and said, his mind was probably still on the truth or falsehood of what was said in the ancient book of the school.

"I didn't see this when I rescued him." Du Mei saw that he looked puzzled, so he had to tell the truth.

"That's it." Zhong Yu finally sighed.

Zhong Yu's doubts were solved, Du Mei couldn't figure it out in his heart, if the Heavenly Silkworm Golden Armor could really resist the sword, Murong Xigui was the young sect master, why didn't he wear it before, but now he has it, but he gave it to her, and lied to her that it was a cure for cold, although his words were not false, but it was obvious that curing cold was only a very small function of the Silkworm Golden Armor.

These questions, she wanted to break her head, I was afraid that there would be no answers, only when she met Murong Xi and asked, at this time, she didn't dare to mention more, she was afraid that Zhong Yu would ask about the various dangers she had encountered before, and then it would be bad to worry her mother and uncle.

Zhong Yu didn't ask, Du Mei didn't say anything, and the matter of the Heavenly Silkworm Golden Armor was naturally revealed. At this time, Xu put Juniper to sleep, and several people talked around again.

It's almost midnight, the sound of firecrackers in Dujiagou is slowly concentrated, the cold outside is pressing, Du Mei wrapped a cotton cloak and Zhong Yu put more than a dozen two kicks, the dark blue sky was blown up by the light points that broke the wind and soared, and the firecrackers set off by the villagers complemented each other, and the fire trees and silver flowers were beautiful for a while.

Xu went to the kitchen to cook a large bowl of dumplings, which means Jiaozi, everyone ate a few, Zhong Yu ate a peanut, which was specially wrapped, full of good wishes.

Washing his face and washing his hands, Zhong Yu distributed New Year's money, as big as Du Mei, as small as Juniper, each person had a red paper bag, which was a tael of small silver ingots, he was the first year to send this, and the three small ones said auspicious words, and they took it very happily.

"Uncle Zhong Yu, I'm done, why do you need this?" Du Mei said with some amusement.

"Hurry up, no matter how old you are, you are a child in my eyes!" Zhong Yuhu blushed and did not allow her to refuse.

"Uncle gave you New Year's money, and my mother embroidered a new purse for each of you." Xu took five purses embroidered with colored threads from the box, the size and style are the same, only the embroidery on the top is different, plum, cherry, peach, cinnamon, pine, at a glance you know which is your own, three small ones, look at your own, and take the sister's to see, all of them are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together.

"Komatsu's, I'll keep it." Xu wrapped a lotus wrapped in a lotus tree embroidered with a panzhi pine tree and stuffed it under the juniper's pillow.

A few people played for a while, but the three Du Ying sisters couldn't stay up after all, and kept yawning, Du Mei led them to wash, and the three of them fell asleep with their heads next to the pillow.

Du Mei accompanied Xu Shi and Zhong Yu to talk, the ashes in the charcoal basin were full, and there was a trace of white in the sky, like a drop of water falling in thick ink, melting little by little, and the night slowly receded.

"It's almost dawn, mother, you can rest for a while, I'll take my uncle to sleep." Du Mei looked out the window with the light and said.

"Okay, you go take a nap too." Xu nodded.

Du Mei sent Zhong Yu to sleep in the prepared room in the courtyard, and went back to the house to lie down for a while.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers who have worked for a year are rarely idle, on this day every household gets up late, men cannot blame their daughters-in-law, adults are not allowed to beat and scold children, even cats and dogs are not happy.

Du Mei was confused for a while, thinking about giving New Year's greetings to Master Huang Yiping, but she still turned over and got up. When she walked out of the big house, she saw that her younger siblings in new clothes had all gotten up, Du Ying was cooking porridge in the kitchen, Du Tao was sweeping the yard, and Du Gui was accompanying Jun Song to watch the ants on the ground.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Du Mei stepped forward and touched Juniper Velvet's hair.

"Xiao Song woke up, we were afraid that he would make trouble, so we got up and took him to play." Du Ying said with a smile.

"Big sister, hug!" Juniper knew that the second sister said that he was not, so he flattered Du Mei.

"Stinky boy!" Du Mei held him in his arms, pretending to screw his little face.

"Bah." Juniper preemptively hugged Du Mei's face, kissed her wetly, and then turned his head to show her a big smile, and her white and glutinous baby teeth were neat.

"Who taught you this, you can coax people!" Du Mei nodded his little nose helplessly.

Juniper has to teach this trick, he is a hundred tried, and now he put his arms around Du Mei's neck and giggled triumphantly, like the morning sun, warm and bright.

Du Mei ate breakfast and put on new clothes, carrying the Boxing rites to pay New Year's greetings, met a lot of villagers on the way, everyone's face was filled with the joy of the New Year, everyone greeted each other kindly, from "Have you eaten?" "Where?" It became "Happy New Year!" "Wishing you prosperity!".

"Oh, that's how the table is set up." When Du Mei walked into the courtyard of the Huang family, he heard his master's voice.

"Master, Happy New Year!" Du Mei was excited, and rushed into the house at once.

"Cao Cao Cao arrived, just talked about you." The tall Huang Yiping saw Du Mei and slowly walked towards her.

"Master, you ...... You...... All right! Du Mei's tears welled up in her eyes.

"Thanks to you, Umeko, I can not only stand up, but also walk!" The corners of Huang Yiping's eyes were also wet.

"Don't stand still, sit down and talk." Yu brought sugar water, and when he saw this, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Yes, yes, this is the first day of junior high school, look at me!" Du Mei wiped her tears, burst into tears, and helped Huang Yiping to sit down.

"We are happy, there are no taboos, eat this quickly, it is newly harvested this year." Huang Yiping piled up melon seeds and peanuts in front of Du Mei.

The eldest girl and the younger girl also came to sit together, and Du Mei touched the little girl's hair and asked, "What can you learn in Yixue?" ”

"I can memorize the three-character scripture, and the master praises me." The little girl raised her head and said proudly.

"Study hard, and we will also take the female champion exam in the future!" Du Mei put his arms around her lovingly.

"Girls can read a few words, just don't be blind, and they can read flowers." Yu put the peeled handful of melon seeds into Du Mei's hand and said.

"Master, there is no harm in reading more, in this world, girls can't be officials and slaughterers, but it's not impossible to be a shop manager, a shop shopkeeper, or even a business boss." Du Mei said seriously.
