bloody hell！！！！ ”

Ron clutched his head, almost glaring out, and cried out in a broken break:

"Zhang, that's what you said, your house is only a little bit big? Smaller than the Burrow? ”

I still remember when I was chatting in the first grade, Ron complained a few times after seeing that all the things Harry and Zhang Xiao were using were new.

Zhang didn't say anything, even Hermione used it was at least brand new, and Harry even used a 'top-of-the-line phone' like a snowy owl.

So the main reason why Ron has low self-esteem, crowded rooms, mediocre grades, and second-hand goods is that Arthur and Molly actually ignore Ron's feelings because of too many children.

So both Zhang Xiao and Harry have enlightened him.

Harry gave his own example: "Ron, I've been living in the cupboard, you know, the pantry around the corner of the stairs. It wasn't until the second grade that they gave me the room where Dudley was stacked with clutter. ”

The same is true of Zhang Xiao, who said to Ron with great sincerity:

"My home is not big, in the civilian neighborhood of London, not even the area of the first floor of your house, except for the clean, everything else is very ordinary, I don't even have any electrical appliances at home, only a black and white TV on the second-hand market."

Looking at Zhang Xiao, whose face was full of sincerity, Ron believed it.

But during the summer vacation of the first grade, Zhang Xiao moved, although it was a big house, but only people with brain problems would go around to publicize that they had moved.

It's just a vignette, and who's going to remember.

But now, with Ron's expression, how big the house is, how deep his sadness is.

The Lucius family's estate was no smaller than this, but in any case, as Malfoy and Narcissa said, the cold mansion was not for people, it was only for the Malfoy family to show off their wealth and status.

So Narcissa once again said very enviously to Li Qingshu:

"Your house is so beautiful, I asked Lucius to build one of these in China, but it is far from being as beautiful as this house, and it is full of a feeling that I can't tell."

The family of three laughed and said nothing, they all knew what Narcissa was talking about, it was the method of the Daomen, mainly to make the plants evergreen all year round.

This technique is actually a long time ago, there were people who were worried about not having enough to eat in the world.

If you want to come up with a way to make the grain grow four times a year, you can do this kind of thing when it is against the sky, the grain is evergreen but evergreen, and the thing that bears fruit has an empty shell and no fruit.

In the end, I can only give up this idea with a sigh, although Daomen later used this method to decorate the courtyard, but not everyone likes it, the spring is vigorous, the summer is lush, the autumn leaves are falling, the winter is cold, each season has the charm of each season, and many people also like the order of nature.

Now that everyone is here, everyone naturally doesn't have to stay in the foyer, but walks in along the corridor lively.

Ron almost cried when he saw the small lake-like pool and the meandering courtyard above, and he pointed to the lake:

"That's bigger than our garden and pond combined!"

Zhang Xiao was speechless, but Harry was a little strange, after all, he also went to a Muggle school, and he didn't think it was young before, but now that he is older, he will begin to initially form his own values and worldview.

So he asked directly:

"Sirius, wizards are obviously very powerful, but why are some of them poor? Like Ron's house, although I think the Burrow is the best house in the world, I think they can use magic to help them build a big house at any time if they want to, right? ”

Sirius frowned and thought for a long time, a top second generation like him, he had never thought about money, he was born with a big house, where did he think about this kind of problem?

But Mr. Arthur heard Harry's question, and he smiled and said:

"Actually, the difficulties in life are not a problem, I think spiritual wealth is more important than this, and not everyone loves money.

If we could wave a wand for the sake of a big house, one day you would recite a killing curse to innocent people for a trivial matter that didn't matter. ”

Mrs. Molly had a smile on her face, clearly agreeing with her husband's theory, not only that, but not only the Weasleys, but even Percy and Ron were nodding their heads on their faces.

Ron was poor, but he never tried to get anything from Harry, even though he knew that if he said Harry would help him, he just didn't.

At this moment, Lucius's slightly mocking voice came: "That's because there is the Ministry of Magic, there is the Secrecy Law."

Arthur gave him a faint look, "Not everyone is like you, Malfoy." ”

The Weasley brothers glared at him, and Malfoy glared back, untimidly, but visibly weak.

Lucius suddenly remembered the rumor that the Weasleys had signed a fortune with the devil in exchange for their offspring, and then looked at the lonely Malfoy, and suddenly felt that there was really such a contract, and he also wanted to sign one.

Fortunately, today is a happy day, everyone has no intention of arguing, just habitually raising the bar, and Lucius's behavior of hiding in China actually impresses everyone.

Arthur's family, who didn't know the inside story, thought that Lucius had finally hardened his temper and would rather run away than join Voldemort.

I admired him for three points, so I didn't have any opinion about Lucius coming to the banquet.

This topic is obviously suitable for the host's family to speak, so Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu naturally pretended not to hear, but continued to lead everyone to visit the house.

By the way, I picked up Hermione, who didn't want to leave at all, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who were marveling at the scenery.

When he reached the atrium, Ron tilted his head, froze for a moment, and pointed to the huge Christmas tree, with a blank expression:

"Man, if I'm not mistaken. Is it a Christmas tree? ”

Malfoy was silent for a long time:

"Yes, Weasley, I have eyes—this is supposed to be the Christmas tree."

"But why is it so big?"

"My Christmas tree is also very big, although it is not as big as this one, so it is convenient to hang gifts." Malfoy shrugged.

Ron:.

When they arrived in the living room, everyone began to chat, while Mrs. Molly and Mrs. Granger and Narcissa followed Li Qingshu to the kitchen.

It can only be said that in this regard, the amazing unity of the East and the West is not good, nor is it bad, it can only be said to be a matter of habit, but it doesn't matter to me, because he often went to the kitchen after getting married in his previous life.

The adults started chatting while eating snacks and drinking tea, and the children politely asked Zhang Chengdao if he could walk around the house at will.

After receiving an affirmative answer, they immediately began to explore the sprawling mansion in high spirits.

Malfoy dismissed this, choosing to stay with Lucius, and said that the more he participated in this kind of occasion, the faster he could grow.

Zhang Xiao felt that he just didn't want to walk to find an excuse, and Bill, Charlie and Percy from the Weasleys also sat on the sofa.

The idle men began to make small talk, and since Mr. Granger was an ordinary person, they also tried to find something that ordinary people could also participate in.

For example, the customs of Christmas.

Zhang Xiao suddenly asked curiously:

"I've always wondered why wizards celebrate Christmas as a church holiday?"

The church is the mortal enemy of wizards, and before the rise of Hogwarts, the wizarding world was overwhelmed, if it weren't for the fact that one of the four gods would have broken the root of the church by one of the four gods in the event of the defeat of both sides of the Crusade.

The wizarding world may still be under the pressure of the church now.

When it comes to this question, Mr. Granger is also a little curious, because wizards are not believers, he has long understood that wizards do not have a fixed belief, and Merlin is more of a mantra.

But Arthur and Lucius laughed together, both of them were born in large families, don't look at Mr. Arthur's life is not very good, but the Weasley family was also once wide, at least when Arthur was a child, it was still a big family.

"Actually, we are not having Christmas, but the birthday of the sun god, which, according to family records, was once a grand festival in the ancient Roman Empire, but was stolen by the shameless church.

They declared that their god must be as bright and great as the sun, so they took the festival for themselves and killed the original sun god. ”

Lucius took a sip of tea and slowly recounted the records of the wizarding world:

"As for why it became Christmas, it was because with the increasing number of young wizards from Muggle families, and wizards who used to live among Muggles, would expose themselves if we talked about Helios Day.

So in order to keep it secret, they also followed and said Christmas, using Christmas trees, and a long time passed like this, and everyone got used to it, and it became Christmas. ”

Zhang Xiao and Zhang Chengdao nodded in realization.

Instead, Mr. Granger curiously asked about the difference between a wizard's Christmas and a Muggle Christmas.

It turned out that Muggles had a very interesting Christmas custom, which was to listen to the Queen's Christmas address.

Just like the Spring Festival Gala in China, the British are used to listening to the Queen's speech.

Bringing up this topic, Zhang Chengdao also talked about several interesting customs of the Chinese New Year, such as red envelopes, New Year's greetings and so on.

"We can't get a haircut during the New Year, because legend has it that a haircut in the New Year will cause my uncle to die unexpectedly."

Malfoy's eyes immediately flashed with a strange light, Uncle will die in the first month of the year?

Malfoy, who is proficient in Chinese, certainly knows what the first moon means, and at this moment he secretly made up his mind that when the first month comes, he will cut his hair eight times a day!

While the adults were chatting, Zhang Xiao came to Bill's side and asked curiously:

"Bill, can you tell us about the pyramids in Egypt? And the job of a spell solver? ”

Bill showed a handsome smile, and the small fan on his ear kept shaking:

"Zhang, this is not an easy job, although the income is good, but the danger is very high-" He rolled up his sleeves and showed him the scars on his arms:

"See? A pyramid left me, and there are many more such injuries on my body, but I have to say that this job is absolutely exciting, and if you don't want to live a mediocre life, the spell solver is still very interesting. ”

He sat up straight, obviously eager to talk to someone about the strange things in the pyramid, and Charlie came over, and from the two of them to the Weasley brothers, it was clear that the Weasleys definitely had the gene to be calm.

"Zhang, do you know how many pyramids there are in Egypt?"

Zhang Xiao tried hard to recall the information from his previous life: "Less than a hundred? ”

Bill shook his head and said seriously:

"We've found no less than five hundred! More than ninety of them are only exposed, but in reality many of the pyramids are buried in the desert or hidden in places that resemble illusions.

There are countless secrets hidden inside the pyramid, and it is not just the treasure that is valuable, but unfortunately the wizarding world can't see this, and actually generously gave the right to explore the pyramid to the goblins! ”

Bill then told a lot of secrets, such as the most famous pyramids, which were once full of curses and traps, and the spell solvers cleared the traps inside little by little.

Not only did the pharaohs of Egypt hold secular power, but the 'sacrifices' with magical powers are also under the control of the pharaohs, and the pyramids are built with the help of magic."

Bill sighed and said suddenly:

"The mummies weren't really the bodies of the pharaohs."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiao was a little surprised, because what Bill said completely subverted his cognition.

"In fact, the people in the mummy are the people chosen by the pharaoh through special conditions, and when the pharaoh dies, these people are also killed and then made into mummies, and the body of the pharaoh will lie in a secret room hidden by magic."

"Then why is this happening?"

"According to the goblins—" Bill shrugged, "it is said that this is to deceive death, to deceive Anubis with the smell of spices in the abdominal cavity, and to deceive Osiris with bandages around their bodies, so that they can deceive death and continue to live." ”

Zhang Xiao was fascinated by what she heard, and hurriedly asked:

"Does that work?"

Bill smiled: "Of course it's useless! I only opened 3 of these secret rooms, and I didn't find a resurrection, but there was a corpse that gave birth to a monster, but fortunately my teammates helped me, and later I learned that the damned pharaoh had devoured an egg, and he wanted to hatch and be reborn in this egg, which is simply unreasonable! ”

In the following time, Bill also told him about the specific work of spell decomposers, such as that most of the magic used in the pyramid is ancient magic, which is very different from modern magic, and must be carefully explored (Zhang Xiao suddenly thought of the underlying logic of understanding magic that Dumbledore said. ）

Thinking about how to crack the magic according to its effects is not an easy task, and requires a high level of magical talent and a considerable amount of knowledge.

It's no wonder that spell solvers are excellent spell experts, because those who are not good will not live long and die in the pyramid soon, so goblins never do loss-making business.
