At this moment, the female shopkeeper who was holding the silver ingot smiled with her eyebrows.

"Ahem, it's not a secret, let the guest officer laugh!"

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she hid the spoon behind her and explained: "In fact, the production of shrimp in winter is small, and this is what I finally found." ”

This shrimp is called silvertail shrimp, in winter, its taste is more sweet and refreshing, produced in the West Lake of Lin'an, is artificially raised. And my craft was also learned in Lin'an, this taste... Do you think it's okay? ”

Shen Xingliu's brows gradually relaxed, Lin An, just after the New Year, he is going to go.

Immediately, he got up and said:

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's solution, I have no problem."

The female shopkeeper returned the salute, then played with the silver ingot, and went downstairs with Xiao Er.

"Little wolf, Brother Shen will go to Lin'an in the future, and I will take you to meet the fruit by the way,"

Shen Xingliu returned to his seat with a smile, put his arms on the table, watched the little wolf blushing and lowered his little head, and then beckoned:

"Eat, eat, take you to buy new clothes after eating, how can there be no new clothes for the New Year."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, today's meal is particularly sweet and delicious.

After a stick of incense, the two finished eating and settled the bill at the counter.

"Hey, wait..."

The female shopkeeper chased after her, still carrying a package in her hand, "Little brother, since you like to eat my shrimp dumplings so much, then I will give these to you, and I won't charge money." ”

The little wolf was in a dilemma, he couldn't pick it up, he didn't pick it up, he looked at Brother Shen, but saw him nodding.

Silly boy, why don't you take it quickly?

Don't be in vain...

"Thank you, sister!" After getting Brother Shen's permission, the little wolf smiled happily and immediately took the package.

The shopkeeper smiled, obviously pleased with the title, and then turned back to the shop.

This day became the happiest day for the little wolf, not only with new clothes to wear, but also to inquire about some of his own life experience.

Before changing clothes, the little wolf took off the leggings on his legs and feet and asked Shen Xingliu to help him hold them.

Good guys...

After that, he almost stumbled, and now the combined weight of the two leggings has reached 1,200 catties.

For a while, I was extremely shocked in my heart, I really didn't know what the little wolf's body was made of.

With such heavy leggings, and like a nobody, his feet fell silently, and he lifted his weight lightly.

I changed my clothes and shoes, and I didn't want to take them off when I put them on.

Shen Xingliu also went with him, and hurriedly threw the leggings to him, only then did he feel relieved.

But even if there are new clothes, the old clothes are not willing to throw away.

So the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store gave him a piece of furoshiki and folded the old clothes and put them away.

......

After returning to the courtyard, the little wolf went to practice again.

"Hey, be careful, don't get dirty in your new clothes."

"Got it..."

Tang Xuanxuan frowned, and took the shrimp dumplings handed by Shen Xingliu, "Spending money again, is it my craftsmanship that doesn't work?" I have to go out and buy some clothes..."

"Hmm, this shrimp dumpling is delicious."

Shen Xingliu smiled slightly: "I'm happy today, I'll tell you..."

Half an hour later.

"Can't you just say it?"

Tang Xuanxuan was stunned to listen to him and divided it into more than a dozen sections before finishing the story.

finally let out a sigh of relief, "But it's good to find some clues, by the way, have you ever thought about how to spend the New Year?" ”

"You must know that Aunt Gu has urged her many times, and wants us to go to her for the Chinese New Year's Eve."

As soon as he said this, Shen Xingliu had a headache, not only from Uncle Gu, but even from the palace, but the final decision was up to him.

After Shen Xingliu pondered for a moment, he held Tang Xuanxuan's little hand and said:

"This should be the first year we have spent together, we are not going anywhere, just in the courtyard, and we will celebrate the New Year with everyone."

Seeing that she still wanted to speak, Shen Xingliu shook his head, "As for the second uncle and third uncle, just refuse politely, and stay until the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's go and pay a New Year's greeting to them together." ”

"Eun, it's okay, I'll listen to you!" Tang Xuanxuan smiled and tightened the hand that was being held.

......

As the days passed, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled.

On this day, Emperor Yu will reward the ministers, in addition to a few gold and silver treasures, that is, to order the imperial dining room to arrange a New Year's dish for each of the ministers.

In particular, he praised Gu Yunting and Shen Xingliu to show their exploits in resisting the enemy, and each gave ten golden flowers, ten jars of imperial wine, and ten catties of dragon and phoenix tea.

There are also two New Year's dishes, namely auspicious Ruyi reunion ball, and pearl jade white jade soup.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is braised lion's head and fish soup with tofu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Xingliu thanked him: "Father-in-law Hou, have a good New Year, why don't you eat some together?" ”

Immediately, with a smile, he stuffed the sealed red envelope into the sleeve of Father-in-law Hou.

Gonggong Hou took the red envelope and smiled, "Shen Gongzi is happy for the New Year, the old slave has to go to another house, so he will stay soon." ”

"Let's go!"

A group of guards put down the reward and immediately followed Hou Gonggong to the next house.

After nightfall, firecrackers rang out in the capital city.

In the courtyard of the mountains and seas, the family sat together.

"Come, come, drink this wine, this is a reward from Your Majesty!" Shen Xingliu left the seat, carrying the wine jar in his hand, and as soon as he opened it, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and it was the son of heaven who smiled.

But everyone was disrespectful, and raised the wine bowl with a smile and took the wine.

"Boom..."

The wine poured out bowls and bowls, and the aroma alone was enough to intoxicate people, making everyone, including Wednesday Bao, constantly stir their throats.

"Today we are also a blessing to the hero, ha··" He Dali laughed.

Shen Xingliu waved his hand and picked up the wine bowl, "What nonsense, come!" Everyone..."

"!"

The men raised their wine bowls and shouted in unison.

Drink the wine and forget all your worries.

Shen Xingliu wiped his mouth and patted Ruan Xiaowu's shoulder, "Happy, everyone eat and drink well." ”

Then return to his seat, but unfortunately Lao Pang is not there, otherwise how good it would be, I believe that Lao Pang will now take the mother and daughter of the Zhu family to reunite with his family.

Last year, he was still in the mountain village, and at that time he was cooking dumplings, even if it was the New Year.

And now, although I have arrived in Yudu, thousands of miles away, there are delicacies on the table, it is also tasteless, and what a bad fate, it is so tricky.

Unfortunately, he hasn't found that person yet.

The man behind the scenes...

Tang Xuanxuan gently pulled his hand and cast a concerned look.

And Shen Xingliu forcibly showed a smile, yes, in such a good festival, let's put these down for the time being.

I put all my emotions into the wine.

Towards the end of the annual banquet, the three little wolves wore new clothes and ran to bow their hands and said:

"Brother Shen, it's a good New Year."

"Okay, good, good New Year, yes. Take the red envelope..." Shen Xingliu opened his drunken eyes, took out three prepared red envelopes from his arms, and handed them over.

"Hey, New Year's message, I haven't said it yet..."

The three of them took the red envelope, immediately smiled, ran to the front yard with a smoke, and set off fireworks.

I saw that Tang Xuanxuan covered her mouth and smiled, and helped his crooked body.

"Xuanxuan, you have to smile at the last two altars of heaven, and wait for Lao Pang to come back and drink."

"Okay, I'll watch it for you, really..."

Tang Xuanxuan glanced at him, and wanted to help him go to rest, but this thing had to watch the fireworks.

"Boom..."

When the fireworks bloomed in the air, Shen Xingliu raised his head, and through his drunken eyes, he seemed to see Shen Lao and the villagers, and even the parents who had never met.

......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, inside the palace.

Before dawn, Emperor Yu got up early, and today is the day to worship the Taimiao.

After the ceremony, the sky was already bright.

At this time, the gate of the imperial city was opened, and the officials who had been waiting at the gate for a long time had already lined up according to their ranks, and the front were Gu Wanwu and Murong Qian.

The ministers of civil and military affairs, led by officials of the Ministry of Rites, came to the outside of the Fengtian Temple.

At this time, Emperor Yu was already sitting on the dragon chair at the entrance of the hall to accept the New Year's greetings from the ministers.

Hou and Fei were separated on both sides, and after Hou Gonggong read out the brief will, the ministers shouted long live.

Then he stepped forward one by one, presented his congratulatory sheets, and received red envelopes and the word "Fu" for the New Year from the two fathers-in-law.

Emperor Yu sat there and felt distressed, these are all the money in my private treasury.

And the officials who got the red envelope are all overjoyed, and it is estimated that only now in a year, they can justifiably "rob" His Majesty.

The money is not much, how much is a meaning, but the ministers of civil and military affairs add up to three or four hundred.

After receiving the red envelope, all the ministers said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

Then it was time for the envoys of various countries to pay tribute, in addition to the expulsion of the envoys of the Tu United Kingdom, there were also the 20 countries of the Western Regions and the 13 countries of the South Seas.

Emperor Yu's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the treasures of the 33 Kingdoms were also varied, including spices, coral, pearls, jade, and gold.

And the glass...

This thing was not uncommon for a long time, but Emperor Yu still accepted it with a smile, and turned it over with a big hand, and gave a lot of rewards, including tea, silk, and porcelain, which were most wanted by foreigners.

After all, these countries may be able to help in the future.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, with a roar, a beast trainer from the South Seas drove a two-person high lion into the palace gate.

"Your Majesty Emperor Dayu, don't be alarmed, this is the lion that I have sacrificed from the Namasa Kingdom," an envoy with a sheep's horn beard bowed and said, "Oh, by the way, there is this. ”

Immediately, the placket was opened, and a black-faced kitten came out.

Because of the precedent of the assassination of the envoy of the Tu United Kingdom before, Yu Linwei, who was in charge of the guard, was nervous.

"Stand down,"

Emperor Yu glanced at the nervous armorers, smiled slightly, and waved his hand: "Grandpa Fei, bring this cat over." ”

"No!"

The goatee envoy bowed, smiled apologetically, and handed the cat to Grandpa Fei.

"Meow!"

The kitten still wanted to struggle, but when it was held in his hand, he didn't dare to move.

Father-in-law Fei looked at it carefully up and down, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to His Majesty with confidence.

"Oops, how is this cat ugly and cute, its little face is black like this, did it just come out of the coal pit!"

Emperor Yu took the kitten and teased it twice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The kitten couldn't hear this, and its body was extremely stiff, obviously changing the environment, so that it could not adapt for a while.

Emperor Yu had an idea, "Father-in-law Hou, immediately give this cat to Princess Miao'an, and let her take care of it." ”

"No!"

Father-in-law Hou got the order, took the kitten, and then retreated to send the cat.
