When Luo Jia heard Zhao Chou's words, he immediately secretly said that it was not good.

He naturally knew how much the saint attached importance to this matter, even he himself, and he also wanted to complete the errand and return to Beijing as soon as possible, but Zhao Chou actually said that it was going to snow heavily?

"Lord Zhao, are you sure it will snow? If it is really snowing, it will be a few days of delay. ”

Luo Jia twisted his eyebrows stiffly, if it is heavy snow, it will be easy to close the mountain, and he will have to wait for the snow to melt, but he doesn't know what year and month it will be.

Zhao Chou smiled and relieved when he saw Luo Jia's sad appearance:

"Lord Luo doesn't have to worry, wait until the beginning of spring to return to Beijing, and enjoy the good scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the way, isn't it beautiful? It just so happens that it's Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's let the guards make do with the New Year in Jeju. ”

Luo Jia knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he could only rely on Zhao Chou's arrangement.

In Jintan County, 1,500 miles away, the Shangqing Palace in Jiuxiao is still deserted, without the slightest appearance of the New Year.

Chasing Xiafeng Yunfan and Yun Chu put wine and food in the house, which can be regarded as a reunion dinner.

Ling Xuzi naturally didn't care about such a mundane festival, and still cultivated as usual, but Yun Fan always retained such a habit, which has not changed for so many years.

There are four pairs of chopsticks on the table, two of which are placed at the top.

"Senior brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year."

Yun Fan filled each wine glass with wine, held his own with both hands, stood up, and bent down to toast a glass of wine to the top position.

Yun Fan toasted, flipped his wrist, and spilled the wine on the ground.

Yun Nian learned Yun Fan's movements at the beginning, and also spilled a glass of wine on the ground.

Then the two sat down, picked up chopsticks, and ate quietly.

The disciples of the Qing Palace in Jiuxiao pay attention to Qing cultivation, and it is the most basic to eat and sleep without speaking.

"Little junior sister, you will be nine years old after the New Year."

Obviously, today's Yunfan does not take into account the dining rules that have always been followed.

Yun Nianchu swallowed a mouthful of food and nodded.

"When I went to the Qing Palace in the Nine Heavens, I was nine years old."

The window was open, and the moonlight outside the window was very bright.

Yun Fan looked up at the sky, and the moon hanging in the sky exuded a cool clear glow.

Year after year, the moonlight is still no more.

"I am a villager at the foot of the mountain, and I am the only one in the village who survived the plague that year. Shizun took me up the mountain, and at that time, Shizun had only one apprentice, and that was your father. ”

"For a nine-year-old child, no matter how talented he is, it's too late to practice. The master took me under his tutelage, which was opposed by many people. Several uncles all disliked me, thinking that I would drag down the master who was both excellent in medicine and Taoism, and the same was true for the fellow disciples next to me. Only your father does not dislike me for being filthy or stupid, but treats me like a brother. ”

"I have been practicing Yunfan for more than 20 years, and I can reach the realm of the Six Rank Dao Masters, and a large part of them rely on your father's personal teachings."

Yun Fan's face showed a look of remembrance, and there was a flash of water in the corners of his eyes.

Yun Fan, who was only thirty-six years old and was regarded as the leader of the younger generation of the Qing Palace in the Nine Heavens, looked extremely sad at this time.

He didn't cry bitterly, just looked up at the sky in silence, not letting the tears slip from his eyes.

Yun Nianchu was silent and did not speak.

It's not that she doesn't want to say something, she just doesn't know what to say.

Such a situation will be staged every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, but today's Yunfan looks particularly complicated.

The tears were dry, Yun Fan blinked his sour eyes and looked at Yun Nianchu.

"Your father treats me like a brother and a father, you are the only bloodline he left in the world, I should take good care of you and grow up."

Yun Fan sighed, his eyes full of amazement.

"In the past nine years, you have changed from a baby who can't even cry to a famous genius Xuanshi in Xuanmen, a little fairy loved by the people, I am very pleased, I am finally ...... did not disappoint his brother and sister-in-law. ”

Yun Nianchu frowned when he heard this.

What does Senior Brother mean by this? How does it sound like a send-off?

Who's leaving?

Yun Fan seemed to have no sex to talk about, kept silent, and then fell asleep against the table.

Yun Nian waited for a long time and didn't wait for Yun Fan's next words, and when he looked back, his senior brother had fallen asleep.

Yun Nianchu sighed, helped Yun Fan to the bed, took off his shoes and socks for him, covered the quilt, and cleaned up the scraps on the table before retreating lightly.

The moment the door closed, Yun Fan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

"This is probably the last Chinese New Year's Eve......"

In a newly built brick house in Guoshu Village, the atmosphere is extremely lively.

"Dad, a little further to the left, it's crooked! The right side has to go a little higher! ”

Yu Xia stood in the courtyard with his family, watching Yu Chun command Yu Dayou's couplet.

Yu Xian also took the batter boiled in flour and asked to paste a pair by himself.

The house at home is not small, and Yu Dayou and his wife saw Yu Xian's eagerness to try, and they didn't stop him, so they let him paste on a couplet and paste it on the door of their house.

The couplet is made of red paper that was specially cut in the county seat, and the words on it are handwritten by Yu Xia himself.

Now their family is also a literate reader, Yu Xian don't talk about it, she really can't handle the handwriting, Yu Xia is unexpectedly talented in calligraphy, and the job of writing Spring Festival couplets naturally fell on her head.

"Second sister, eldest sister is illiterate, can you tell me what this couplet on the front door means?"

Yu Chun was very happy when he saw that his house was prosperous, and asked Yu Xia beside him.

"The upper part of this couplet is 'happy to live in a treasure land for a thousand years', the lower couplet is 'Fuzhao family is prosperous', and the horizontal batch is 'auspicious star Gaozhao', which means that the place where our family lives is a treasure land of feng shui, which can ensure the prosperity of our family for a thousand years, and the meaning of the next sentence is that our family gathers wealth and blessings, and everything can be prosperous. It means very auspicious. ”

"Then this is really a good couplet."

Yu Chun looked at the couplet posted on the door and commented seriously.

Yu Xia also nodded, "It is indeed a good couplet." ”

In fact, Yu Xia can say that the Spring Festival couplets are far more than these, there are similar to "a thousand cups of wine to say goodbye to the old year, plum blossoms and thousands of trees to welcome the new year", "peach red willow green thousands of miles show, Zhang Lantern is colorful and ten thousand families are happy", there are also "the dog looks up to the sky to welcome the rising sun, the rooster sings the harvest year", "the chicken guards the peaceful year, the dog leads the rich year" This kind of unpretentious but her favorite is this pair.

Because there is a home in this couplet.

This is her deepest wish for the New Year.

She wishes her family peace, joy and well-being.

……

A family not far from the same village seems a little deserted.

The owner of the house has only one woman, and the man in the family has long since died of illness.

It's nothing else, when every family in this family eats the New Year's dinner, even if she deliberately cooks a meal for herself, so that the family will not be cold pots and cold stoves, but it still looks a little sluggish.

"Alas, it's the New Year again, and I don't talk about it when I'm a year old, I can only listen to the excitement of other families. Aren't widows worthy to welcome the New Year? ”

Widow Xu couldn't eat a few bites of food, so she poured herself a cup of wine, raised her head and drank it.

"Fortunately, there is wine, and it is finally warm."

Knock knock.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Widow Xu held her breath, and her hand holding the wine glass also paused.

Knock knock.

The sound continues.

The voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Who else will come to your door at this time?

Widow Xu muttered a little in her heart, but didn't get up, but shouted out the door, "Who?" ”

A man's voice came from outside the door.

"If you want to spend the night on a poor road, I wonder if the layman can make it convenient?"
