Chapter 238: New Year's Old Man
Chinese New Year's Eve, Daqi Dongjing, Zhang Lantern Color.
After seven or eight days of retreat, Xia Ze never made up his mind about which one of the Five Elements Dharma Weapon to refine as a natal Dharma weapon, so in the end, he had to spend the rest of his time regulating the entire Inner Qi Mansion.
Halfway through, Wang Wei came back again, so Xia Ze asked with the attitude of giving it a try, and the answer he got was, "Choose a natal thing for your mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother, I don't know, I'll figure it out myself."
On the eighth day, Xia Ze finally stopped retreating, and Chen Tanjing and Chen Dongyou, the two little guys, had been looking forward to it for a long time, and they immediately cheered.
And Swallowing Heaven, who has been in a state of retreat, finally came out of the customs on the eighth day, and it seems that it has successfully reached the threshold of the five realms of qi training.
And the first thing he said was: "Xia Ze, sugar gourd, buy sugar gourd."
Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing looked at each other, this guy, why did he still look so stupid when he arrived in the Upper Five Realms?
Xia Ze nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, yours are indispensable."
This is the first time that the four of them have celebrated the New Year together, and it is also the first time that Xia Ze has not spent the New Year in Yunxi Town.
"Childe! I've seen a lot of nice clothes on the streets, but you're not there, so ...... I didn't dare to spend money privately, but don't worry, Chen Dongyou and I got together and bought a gift for Childe." Chen Tanjing grabbed Xia Ze's hand and eagerly invited Gongdao.
"I haven't dared to spend money privately, you haven't spent less money on all kinds of snacks in the past seven or eight days, but fortunately, in the end, you can still make some money, but it's all supported by me." Chen Dongyou instantly turned into an ear and complained to Xia Ze.
Since they lived in the blacksmith shop together, Wang Xie has found an opportunity to send money to Chen Tanjing, as if he was his long-lost father, this palm and the back of his hand are full of meat, but this guy is obviously eccentric.
"Yes, yes, as long as you have money, my Master Chen." Chen Tanjing said angrily.
Chen Dongyou glanced at Xia Ze, who was squinting and smiling at the play, and seemed to have no intention of helping at all, so he had to be silent in the end.
"Childe, Childe, slower times, we won't be able to buy New Year's goods."
"Xia Ze, sugar gourd!" Swallowing Heaven also urged.
The three dolls grabbed Xia Ze's arm and pulled him out the door.
Don't have a New Year's gift? How can it be.
Chen Dongyou couldn't help but think that with Xia Ze's status in Daqi Dongjing, even if Xia Ze knew that he was out of the customs at the last moment before Chinese New Year's Eve, this Daqi Dongjing would keep a gift for him.
Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, baskets and baskets of exquisite New Year's goods were neatly stacked, all decorated with silk and satin for the royal family.
Wei Yinxi: This will really put a lot of thought into it.
But in this way, Xia Ze's pressure came, because according to the custom of Daqi Dongjing, the first day of the Lunar New Year was to pay New Year's greetings, and if a group of people came to visit at that time, Xia Ze would have to take extra time to think about those red tapes.
Will it be inconsiderate, will it be inconsiderate, will it not be polite, that is, every time at this time, Xia Ze will feel that he is really still the mud leg who has never seen the world in Tianmu Dongtian, and he is a little dwarfed.
Wei Yinxi is in the alley, as long as Xia Ze and a few people walk out, they will definitely run into it, and now he has figured it out, Xia Ze may not be the shackles that Wei Ji and Wei Yuhan put on him.
On the contrary, Wei Ji and Wei Yuhan sincerely hoped that he, the rebellious prince, would inherit the unification and lead the Great Qi to a better place.
And beside him, there stood a woman with long waterfall hair, without a mask and covering her face and figure, the woman's alluring country and city and proud body curves were immediately exposed.
"Your name is Mia?" Wei Yinxi turned his head and asked.
The woman was leaning over, her face was pale, and her blue eyes like crystal amber glared at Wei Yanxi fiercely.
"Don't look at me like that, whether you are the royal family of the Ghost Car Dynasty or not, you will complain if you take the lead in attacking my husband
I can't help it. In the future, you will serve my husband well, you must obey him, when the husband is cold, you must consciously warm him up, and when the husband is hungry, wash your hands and make soup for him, if the gentleman is very animalistic, hehe......." Wei Yanxi glanced at Miya up and down, and smiled a little ill-willed.
"You ......" Miya was suddenly so angry that her phoenix eyes widened, but soon, an overwhelming feeling of dizziness filled her mind, and even the flower mark on her wrist was faintly painful, and she almost fell to the ground all at once.
The corners of Wei Yinxi's mouth were slightly raised, and he sneered: "I always thought that you Ghost Car Dynasty were a group of beasts on the grassland who drank blood and were poorly clothed, but I didn't expect to be able to find such a fairy as you. How many Qi women have been kidnapped by your Ghost Car Dynasty in the south, and I, Wei Yanxi, will let the princess of your Ghost Car Dynasty be a slave and a horse today, which is very fair."
Miya's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she wanted to use her magical powers to shoot this crazy speaker to death on the spot, but soon because of the intense pain, she couldn't speak, so she had to listen to Wei Yanxi's various words in her heart, and remained silent.
"Do you want to give this woman to your husband? After all, that man doesn't love women, let alone such an alien wild stunner, but if the gentleman is really a gentleman who doesn't sit still, then wouldn't he have to settle accounts with me?"
After a series of battles between heaven and man, Wei Yinxi shook his head with his hands behind his back and said, "No, no, let me think about it again."
In the alley in the distance, in front of Xia Ze's eyes, a gust of wind swept through, he immediately stopped, took out the ground shrinking charm, and disappeared from the alley with three little dolls.
And all this, Wei Yinxi didn't know.
The crowd was bustling, with clowns wearing colorful clothes and masks, stepping on stilts and passing on the road; The painted statues of gods were carried across the street by strong men dressed in red, attracting a group of dolls in Dongjing to chase and cheer.
Xia Ze was a little moved, this scene was very similar to when he was in Yunxi Town, behind him, there was a group of dolls. Those days were not carefree, but at that time, Xia Ze felt that he was the center of the world.
At this time, a vendor carrying a large handful of sugar gourds and sugar people passed by, and as soon as Xia Ze turned his head, Tuan Tian and Chen Tanjing were drooling.
He scratched his head and smiled and took out a silver ingot, "Boss, I want it all."
The dealer was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and handed the candy man and sugar gourd to Xia Ze, but he was taken by Swallow Heaven.
Immediately, a group of little dolls on the street shouted in admiration, and then they all gathered around.
When people are young, they always feel that being able to eat delicious food is their greatest wish.
Swallow Tian looked at Chen Tanjing, Chen Tanjing looked at Swallow Heaven, and quickly grabbed one sugar man after another with two small hands and handed them to the onlookers.
In the end, Chen Dongyou held a swordsman condensed with icing sugar in his hand, holding a sword, majestic.
Swallowing Heaven held a fierce beast in his hand, grinning with bared teeth and an inverted mane.
Chen Tanjing left herself a charming woman in red.
In the end, the three little dolls were not very willing to eat. However, the children who received the sugar man and the sugar gourd, whether they were plainly dressed or luxurious, seemed to be in the school, and they had read some sage books, but everyone happily said an auspicious word to Xia Ze and the others.
It was only when he walked to the street where he sold vegetables that Xia Ze really realized that it was indeed a little late for him to leave the customs, but fortunately, Dongjing was the royal capital, and all kinds of vegetables and meat were readily available, that is, in front of each stall, there were women who were robbing.
Xia Ze was a little embarrassed, not to mention whether he could squeeze in or not, it was a little difficult to compete with this group of women.
I don't want Chen Tanjing to pat his chest and smile, "Don't worry, childe, leave it to me."
After saying that, the small body burrowed into the crowd, and really made her squeeze out a slit, and when she came out after a while, her face was already flushed, and she was holding a fat chicken and duck in her left hand.
When Xia Ze asked, he still bargained.
In the next few places, Chen Tanjing caught Chen Dongyou and Swallowing Heaven, in short, the matter of buying vegetables was handed over to her, and the remaining three only needed to help carry the goods, and the rest was left by Xia
Fill in the gaps.
When he returned to the blacksmith shop, there was no longer Wei Yuxi in the alley, and Xia Ze remembered that according to the custom of Chinese New Year's Eve, on this day, it was necessary to quickly make a fire to cook, cook the chicken and duck, and then take it to the local City God Temple and Land Temple, so that the fairy master would fight the tooth sacrifice first, and bless the wind and rain in the coming year, and everything would go smoothly.
Xia Ze Mali boiled water, killed chickens and ducks, and shed hair.
Chen Tanjing and Chen Dongyou stepped on a small bench, one was stir-frying on the stove, and the other was cutting vegetables.
But after today, Swallow Sky has a new concept, in addition to eating sugar gourds, the happiest thing in the world is one more New Year.
Before noon, Xia Ze and others walked to the City God Temple in Dongjing with chickens, ducks and fresh fruits, as well as some paper money and incense, and sure enough, there were still people in the sea of people, and there were already men and women holding tributes and incense waiting outside the door, praying for a good omen in the coming year.
After queuing for a full hour and a half, by the time Xia Ze and his party finally entered the City God Temple, the sun had already turned west. A set of basic processes, placing tributes, lighting incense, pouring wine for the fairy master three times, burning paper money, and setting off firecrackers.
For hundreds of years, Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing watched a large number of people come to the City God Temple to make offerings, and the process has long been extremely familiar, and nothing has gone wrong.
It's just that when he saw the golden statue placed in the center of the City God Hall, he was surprised to find that Chen Dongyou and Chen Tanjing's eyes seemed to be a little red, and they both said that they were smoked by the temple.
At the end of the day, night falls, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Throughout Daqi, firecrackers rang out and fireworks were shining.
North of the border of Daqi, there was a young man in a green robe, after meditating, he picked up a letter, read it and read it, and smirked from time to time.
"He Xu, I've already asked you to come over for dinner, and I've called it several times, so why are you reading Xia Ze's letter again."
