Chapter Twenty-Six: Keeping the New Year

Chinese New Year's Eve is the end of the year, on this day the family has to put on a good feast, and the group sits together to celebrate the New Year.

After sacrificing to the ancestors, the uncle and nephew began to prepare for the New Year's feast.

Everything Aunt Feng has prepared, and Wan Wan's so-called preparations are just heating and plating. But he didn't want the second master to roll up his sleeves, rummaged in the cabinet where the ingredients were stored for a while, and then began to clean, process, cut and remediate.

Those who are good at swordsmanship are also good at swordsmanship. The kitchen knife flew in the hands of the second master of Ming, and the brilliant light and shadow of the Dao Dao, in a few blinks of an eye, those ingredients obediently turned into pieces of thin to transparent slices, thin to soft silks, and pieces of appropriate size.

Wan Wan was amazed, and had to admit that the appearance of Second Master Ming holding a knife was really extraordinary. Even if it's a kitchen knife, even if he's chopping vegetables.

At the beginning of the banquet, you must drink a cup of Tusu wine to detoxify and dispel filth, and sweep away the bad luck of the old years.

On weekdays, the elderly drink first. On this day, the order will be reversed, starting with the youngest, representing the full heart of the elders for the younger generations.

When Aunt Feng was brewing Tusu wine, Wan Wan saw the steps with her own eyes. I know that it is soaked in rhubarb, atractylodes, cinnamon branches, peppercorns and other things. This kind of wine has never been drunk before, and she is a little impatient at the moment.

When I took a bite of it, I felt that the taste was very special. After a few more bites, the lower abdomen gradually felt smooth.

Second Master Ming watched Wan Wan drink a glass, and he also smiled and lifted the wine cup and drank it. After two glasses of wine, Second Master Ming finally remembered a major event.

"Since ancient times, sword fairs have been held in prosperous places, and accommodation is not a problem. Now it has been changed to Huashan on the sword, which is good. But if the sword meeting can't end in a day or two, where do you want to live? ”

Wan Wan will never let Second Master Ming have the opportunity to be a good person again, she immediately said: "I can't stand the slightest wind and frost, what is it called." What's more, living on the top of a mountain is also a test of willpower. Without will, no matter how good the martial arts are, it is a cowardice. ”

Second Master Ming felt that it made sense when he heard this, and nodded with a full face of approval and stopped saying anything.

Wan Wan's little money was safe again, and she put her heart at ease and picked up a chopstick of hot shredded meat and sent it to her mouth.

As soon as she entered, she found that Ming Erye's cooking skills were the same as those of others, but they just looked like that. Fortunately, although the taste is a little weird, it is not completely unpalatable.

There is no Spring Festival Gala in this era, Wan Wan always feels that something is missing, and she feels a little embarrassed inexplicably. So she found a topic to talk about: "Uncle, are there very few families with industries like the Jin family on the rivers and lakes?" ”

Second Master Ming said: "There are only a handful of people like the Jin family, but if you say that there is an industry, there are many of them." ”

Wan Wan listened and asked, "Mingyue Villa is not only a villa, but also an industry." ”

"Yes, it was comparable to the Jin family back then." Second Master Ming took a sip of wine and added, "It's just that it's all deserted now." ”

Wan Wan's excited eyebrows and eyes fell again, and she nibbled on a chicken wing with her head down, threw the bone and said: "There are so many industries, why do those people always ask us for silver." ”

When she asked, Wan Wan was ready to listen to a big truth, but she didn't expect that Second Master Ming didn't say anything about generosity and righteousness. He smiled a little embarrassed, and said to Wanwan: "I'm always embarrassed to refuse them." ”

Wan Wan raised her eyes and looked straight at the cheap uncle in front of her. This doesn't seem to be a common bun variety.

Glancing at Second Master Ming's thin outfit again, Wan Wan cleared her throat and asked, "Uncle, who is in charge of Mingyue Villa now?" ”

Second Master Ming didn't know why she suddenly asked about this. Mingyue Villa is gone, and there is no need to talk about being a homemaker. After blinking his eyes, Second Master Ming decided to make his niece happy, and said, "Naturally, my sister is in charge." ”

Wan Wan nodded, a little relieved, "Did that uncle ever set up his own door?" ”

Second Master Ming was even more confused, "No." ”

Wan Wan was completely relieved, "That's great." Whoever asks his uncle for money from now on, let them come directly to me. Even if the uncle had money in his hand, he could not give it to them directly. ”

Second Master Ming nodded a little stunned.

Wan Wan comfortably swept away half of the plate of fish, and suddenly remembered a very serious problem. She moved her head from the top of the plate, swallowed nervously and asked, "Uncle, you haven't lost your martial arts and sword skills, right?" ”

Second Master Ming laughed, "How can my little sister ask some strange questions?" Uncle is very good, the internal force is still there, and the knife technique has not been forgotten. ”

Wan Wan's heart fell back again, and her waist straightened up. In the future, whoever wants to ask Second Master Ming where to cheat the silver, must first pass her level. Who dares to be angry and not throw her face. She immediately went to cry to show Second Master Ming.

Although Ming Erye is a special breed of bun. But he is also a famous master, a top master who has killed more than 100 enemies alone.

The sound of firecrackers outside the window rang out one after another, and Wan Wan and Ming Erye each held a plate of dried fruits, and they rattled and rattled. White smoke billows from the hot water in the sake keeze.

The second master of Ming was sipping on dried fruits, and on the other hand, he told some anecdotes and anecdotes about his travels.

The atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy.

Wan Wan tilted her head sideways and looked at Second Master Ming. A subtle warmth that I had never felt before lingered in my heart. Although this cheap uncle's brain circuit is a little different from ordinary people, the concern and love in his eyes are so real and warm.

The feeling of having a loved one turned out to be like this.

She enjoys and is extremely grateful for this feeling of bonding between her relatives.

In the interesting stories and observations of the second master of Ming, Wan Wan was able to survive until the time of her son.

The sound of firecrackers outside suddenly became enthusiastic. The old year is gone, and the new year begins.

Wan Wan stood up and stretched, shook off the dried fruit shells on her skirt and prepared to go back to her room to rest. Before he could speak, he saw Second Master Ming's eyes full of excitement and he got up and asked, "Sister Fu, where are all the valuable things in our family?" ”

Wan Wan was completely sleepy, "What are you doing?" ”

Second Master Ming couldn't hide his excitement, "Prepare some heavy gifts and go to the future in-laws' house to pay New Year's greetings." ”

Wan Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly slandered: You don't know who your in-laws are in the future, so where are you going to pay New Year's greetings? Ahh

"Uncle, according to etiquette, the man should come to visit us. Besides, it's still early ....... ”

"Nope! No! No! Second Master Ming hurriedly interrupted Wan Wan, "Our situation is different. ”

How difficult is it for his niece to marry in this heart? Wan Wan twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "The official family gives marriage, and the situation is indeed different. ”

Second Master Ming thought about it, if you have the conditions to be reserved, it is better to be reserved. So he decided to wait for the time being, and if the man didn't come, he wouldn't be too late to come to the door.

"Everything is in the West Chamber, and my uncle rests early. I had to enter the palace after the end of the day, so I slept first. Wan Wan said as she opened the door to the dining room and was about to go out.

I don't want the second master to rush over in two arrows, "And stretched out his hand." ”

Wan Wan stretched out her hand for no reason, and the second master of Ming took her pulse with a deep eyebrow, and after a while, he said, "Change to another one." ”

Wan Wan obediently changed her other hand, and the second master of Ming took the pulse for a while, and then stretched out his hand to open the door and walked to the west wing, "Sleep peacefully." ”

Wan Wan was stunned again, what's the situation?!
