It was the first year of Chu Xuan and Alice Field's marriage, Illyasfield had not yet been born, and Sakura and Karen had not yet been "picked up" by Chu Xuan back to Einzbelen.

One day, after Chu Xuan got up, he found that his wife, who had to live in a separate room with him because her belly had become significantly bigger, did not come to his room on time as usual, and then served him with the maids to change his clothes.

However, the maids dressed in strange bodysuits that even wrapped their hair in were still walking in on time like a Swiss-made clock, and Chu Xuan also finished his sleep on time like an atomic clock and sat up from the bed.

"Where's Ellie?"

Chu Xuan put on the flat glasses on the bedside table, and then asked the maids with an expressionless face.

For these faces in Einzbelen City that were almost identical to Alice Phil, but without any expression, Chu Xuan never showed any discomfort, because he himself was also such a poker face.

Perhaps living in this kind of environment where almost everyone is poker faced, Chu Xuan is like the king of playing cards, returning to his country.

"Madame is directing everyone to clean the castle, prepare food, and go out shopping, and she asks you to go to the dining room alone after changing your clothes."

The maid answered his question with the same expressionless face in a mechanical tone very similar to Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan nodded, and then changed out of his pajamas without shyness under the maid's service.

But fortunately, the next washing of his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom was done by Chu Xuan's reading power, and he had not been completely knocked down by the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism, and had become a "little emperor" who stretched out his hands to eat and open his mouth.

Then, Chu Xuan walked towards the restaurant, and unlike usual, the few personal maids who would always follow Chu Xuan and Alice Phil confessed to him and left.

In the corridor, Chu Xuan saw several maids who were cleaning, and they all stopped their work when Chu Xuan was about to pass by, so as not to get the dust raised on Chu Xuan's body.

When Chu Xuan entered the restaurant, he found that it was the same here, the steaming breakfast had already been placed on Chu Xuan's seat, but the maids in charge of the restaurant didn't know where they had gone.

The breakfast on the table was no different from usual, it was a typical German breakfast with bread, sausages, eggs, and juice, and it was in this weird atmosphere that Chu Xuan began to stuff a rather large amount of food into his stomach as if nothing had happened.

As his breakfast drew to a close, the door of the dining room was pushed open with a "bang", and then Alice Field, with an apron tied around her body and a more obvious belly, hurried in, and the maid behind her was still holding something white.

"Ah, so busy, so busy, I'm so busy right now."

Alice Phil's mouth shouted that she was busy, but her face was filled with a smile that Chu Xuan had never seen before, she didn't know what she was busy with, and she was also directing the maids in the city to work together.

After coming to Chu Xuan's side, Alice Phil sat down in her seat, and then ordered the maid to present the contents of the plate.

One of the plates was filled with white maltose, in the shape of a round melon, sprinkled with sesame seeds; On the other plate, there is porridge made with many ingredients, and in addition to rice, there are also red beans, red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, longan and other ingredients.

"Sugar melon and laba porridge?"

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and turned his head to look at his wife.

Alice Field, with a satisfied smile on her face, spoke cheerfully to her husband of her "great achievements":

"I'm sorry, Chu Xuan, I only knew last night that tomorrow would be China's 'Chinese New Year's Eve', so I started preparations for the 'New Year' early this morning.

It's a little late, but it's not too late to catch up on what you should have done the other day.

Hurry up and eat it, I made it with my own hands - I mean 'Laba porridge'.

I 'personally' ordered the maid to buy it outside, but fortunately, the supermarket that has been providing us with Chinese seasonings and ingredients still has some 'New Year's goods', but this is the only kind of 'stove candy' for them. ”

Alice Phil was fluent in Mandarin and showed her husband all kinds of new terms that she had only learned yesterday, and Chu Xuan fully understood the reason why she was so busy.

"It doesn't matter to me about the New Year or anything, you don't have to be busy with it."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said in a boring voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever.

"That...... I just want to celebrate the 'hometown' festival with you, can't I? ”

Alice Field's ruby eyes showed a pitiful look, like a white rabbit about to be abandoned by its owner.

In the face of such Alice Field, even Chu Xuan had to look away, and said in a tone that seemed to be a little gentle:

"I've already said it doesn't matter, if you want to celebrate, there's nothing wrong with that.

But pay attention to rest, and in addition, it is forbidden to walk too fast, after all, you are already pregnant. ”

"Well, I'll take notice."

Alice Field, who had received Chu Xuan's permission and care, lowered the level, gently stroked her stomach with a happy face, and agreed seriously.

Soon, Alice Phil raised her head to look at Chu Xuan again, and happily told him about today's arrangement:

"Today I'm going to clean it thoroughly, and I'm going to put Chinese style paper cutouts on the windows.

During the day, live pigs and chickens are brought in, and you are asked to help kill them, and I am in charge of steaming the 'steamed buns' with dates.

'Peach Fu', 'Spring Festival Couplets', 'New Year's Paintings', 'Fu Zi', 'Chinese Knots', 'Door Gods', 'Lanterns', 'Firecrackers' and 'Firecrackers' are also all going to trouble you to hang up, our family is so big, today will probably be very busy. ”

Alice Phil didn't know where he learned about the customs of the "Spring Festival", a traditional Chinese festival, but Chu Xuan was sure that in the books he recommended to Alice Phil, there would never be such a thing as hanging firecrackers and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and they had now become a kind of thing, and no one would burn bamboo to listen to it.

- In other words, even in China, there are far fewer places to sell bamboo than firecrackers.

However, as a foreigner, Alice Phil's understanding of Spring Festival customs is quite comprehensive, even if it is Chinese itself, probably not many people will hold the New Year's "ceremony" from beginning to end.

"By the way, there are also these cloth tigers, which are so cute."

Alice Phil took the big and small Ai Hu from the maid behind her, and put it on her lap like a treasure to show Chu Xuan, but she probably made a mistake, these cloth tigers are actually not "New Year's goods", but ornaments to ward off evil spirits and bless peace during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Well...... I don't know if those maids moved back all the Chinese folk goods in the supermarket warehouse in one go, or the supermarket owner took the opportunity to stuff the bottom of the warehouse that was not sold during the Dragon Boat Festival, in short, I hope that in those "New Year's goods" will not see zongzi, moon cakes and other anachronistic things.

"After breakfast, let's start decorating the city of Einzberen, and grandpa has agreed."

Usually there is nothing to do except learn magic and do something shameless with Chu Xuan, Alice Field, who is very active in preparing for the "New Year", in her extremely excited eyes, Chu Xuan had to quickly chew the sticky sugar melon, and then send it into the stomach with Laba porridge, and then spit out the jujube kernels and longan kernels one by one.

"Let's go."

After solving the loving Chinese food brought by Alice Phil in three or two clicks, Chu Xuan stood up with a wipe of his mouth, his wife was so greedy that she wanted to make up for all the folk activities that began on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, so as a husband, of course he had to fulfill this little wish for his wife.

“…… Ellie, what are you doing? ”

Chu Xuan followed Alice Fell to work for a long time in the city of Einzbelen, which covers a fairly large area, and used the inverted blessing characters, lanterns, Chinese knots, window flowers and other red and colorful things to decorate the somewhat gloomy ancient castle, and even the artificial maids who were busy in the castle with expressionless faces seemed to be dyed a little festive red.

However, when he came to the main gate, Alice Phil made a move that made Chu Xuan inexplicable - drawing a magic array on the gate.

"I'm calling the door god to defend our home."

Alice Phil didn't seem to feel anything wrong with her actions at all, okay...... Although her strange method may not be able to accurately summon Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, who are the door gods, judging from the purpose of this magic array, it is probably not a problem to summon two similar beings to servants.

"There are also a few prepared mahogany planks here, please make them into talismans that can ward off ghosts."

“……”

With the help of the Einzbelen family's power in the world, Alice Phil even got the peach wood, took the peach wood board and carving knife, as well as the magic potion to draw magic arrays or runes, Chu Xuan felt that he had probably understood his wife's train of thought.

Although I don't know if the stickers of the door gods, peach charms, portraits of the stove kings, and paper money are really useful in this world of China, but in the world where Chu Xuan once lived, these are just superstitious activities that have become part of the folk culture.

However, seeing Alice Phil so happy, Chu Xuan did not correct her misunderstanding as a teacher as usual, but silently used a magic potion mixed with the expensive Mithril to make a peach talisman that could really work. (To be continued.) )
