In the midst of the hustle and bustle, it was Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

The last Spring Festival couplet was written by Zhu Qingchen to his home, and after it was written, he asked Song Feng to paste it.

Zhu Qingchen had ink on his face, stood outside the door, crossed his waist, raised his head, and admired his Spring Festival couplets with confidence.

Pretty! So talented!

I wish Qingchen, you are not only the best literati in the original world, but also here!

Song Feng climbed down the ladder and glanced at Zhu Qingchen: "Master." ”

Zhu Qingchen came back to his senses and said to him: "Tell the people in the house, if you want to go home for the New Year, finish the work in the morning, and go back." Anyway, I'm home alone, I don't have anything to serve, just don't let me starve to death at home alone. ”

"Yes." Song Feng said with a smile, "I am homeless, I will stay in the mansion, and I will not let my master starve to death." ”

The students were at home for the New Year, and everyone in the house who could go home took their leave.

Therefore, Zhu Qingchen's Chinese New Year's Eve was not as lively as Chinese New Year's Eve.

He sat alone in front of the desk, with a plate of leek-stuffed dumplings in his left hand, a plate of mustard-stuffed dumplings in his right hand, and a bowl of balsamic vinegar in the middle, which was quite a bit of a "poor lonely old man".

Only Song Feng and the system accompanied him.

Zhu Qingchen held his head, thinking that it would be better to enter the palace for a banquet, at least there would be more people.

The little ball of light landed on his shoulder and asked, "Are you homesick again?" ”

"yes." Zhu Qingchen held his face and sighed, "In the past, the New Year was lively and lively, and everyone had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. After eating, Li Yue and I, as well as other friends, went out to set off firecrackers and have snowball fights. ”

He glanced down at the dumplings: "I'm not the taste of the north, Li Yue will cook me a bowl of rice balls." ”

Zhu Qingchen was sad, and suddenly, the voice of the eunuch came from outside.

"Wishing the Master? Wishing the Master? Where have all the people in your house gone? ”

Zhu Qingchen hurriedly got up: "Here!" ”

The eunuch led two columns of small eunuchs around from under the corridor.

He had come several times, and he knew the way.

"But I'm easy to find, but what about the people in the house?"

Zhu Qingchen smiled: "Let them go home for the New Year, I and a few small servants are in the house, and I have been waiting for my father-in-law for a long time." ”

"It's okay." The eunuch smiled and said, "At the behest of Your Majesty, I will send a few dishes to the master." ”

Zhu Qingchen bent down and saluted: "I wish Qingchen to receive the reward." ”

"Your Majesty is specially gracious, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, I will not talk about these false gifts. I wish the master to take a look too, the dishes are to the taste? ”

Zhu Qingchen straightened up, and the eunuch waved his hand behind him, and the two columns of little eunuchs held the food box and stepped forward in turn.

The food box is made of wood, but there is a copper charcoal stove at the bottom, which is simmered with charcoal, and it will not get cold when it is sent all the way.

When passing in front of Zhu Qingchen, the little eunuchs also deliberately opened the food box and showed him it.

"Squirrel mandarin fish."

"Lychee meat."

"Sour plum duck."

“……”

One dish after another passed in front of Zhu Qingchen, and Zhu Qingchen's eyes slowly lit up.

When the eunuch saw his look, he knew that he liked it.

"And the last course, sesame rice balls."

The little eunuch opened the food box in front of Zhu Qingchen, and five rice balls were held in a white jade cup, like jade beads, round and shiny.

Zhu Qingchen looked at the rice balls, and a strange thought was fleeting, and he was immediately interrupted by the eunuch who passed the decree.

"Your Majesty said that eating rice balls on Chinese New Year's Eve will make you happy."

Zhu Qingchen came back to his senses and bowed slightly: "Yes, I must taste it carefully, and my father-in-law will thank His Majesty for me." ”

The eunuch finally said: "There was no palace banquet this year, and the money saved was allocated by His Majesty to the Ministry of Industry, so that they could get some fireworks and firecrackers, and put them outside the moat to have fun with the people." If the Master is fine, he can also go and see it. ”

Zhu Qingchen nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go." ”

The eunuch reminded him: "It's not easy to occupy a good position, so the master should go early." ”

"Okay, I see, father-in-law walks slowly."

I wish Qingchen that he still has nothing to do, but now he has something to do.

He greeted Song Feng: "Quick, eat as much as you like, when we are full, we will go outside the city to occupy a place and watch the fireworks." ”

Song Feng nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhu Qingchen sat down in front of the desk, rolled up his sleeves, held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and ate seriously.

The two of them are completely two flavors.

Song Feng ate two plates of dumplings, and Zhu Qingchen ate most of the imperial meal rewarded by the emperor, and finished the rice balls.

The two of them were full of food and drink, looked at each other, and then carried the little horse on their backs and went out.

The government prepared a fireworks show, and it also spread all over the streets and alleys at this time.

An oilcloth shed was set up outside the city to shelter from the wind and snow, and Zhu Qingchen took Song Feng and found a good position.

The government was thoughtful, not only prepared ginger soup to ward off the cold, but also lit a charcoal basin in the shed, which was very warm.

Zhu Qingchen put his hand on the stove, sat on the pony, and looked up at the sky beautifully.

Tonight is also a good day, although there is no moon, but there are no clouds and the stars are bright.

The system said: "You haven't set off fireworks yet, what are you looking at silly?" ”

Zhu Qingchen said with a smile: "I love to watch the excitement the most, as long as I don't let myself spend the New Year in the house alone, I will be happy." ”

The city tower behind Zhu Qingchen is the best place to watch the fireworks, but the city tower is very important, and ordinary people can't wait.

At this time, the emperor was standing on the tower with a group of musicians.

The emperor pressed his hands on the battlements and looked down at the people sitting in the tarpaulin huts.

Zhu Qingchen faced him sideways, sat on the pony, and shrunk into a small ball.

The emperor couldn't help but move his thumb and index finger, and gently pinched Zhu Qingchen's figure.

The little one was not as big as his fingers.

The annoying electronic voice rang out again: "Please control the host's emotions. ”

The emperor was irritable: "Isn't this control? I didn't rush down and kidnap people, I can't even look at them? ”

"Please take care to keep the character alive."

"Don't approve the chapter, regardless of military power, banquets all day, good days, come out to watch the fireworks with musicians and dancers, isn't this enough to faint? How else can you faint? It's really not okay, you can do it. ”

The system silently closed its mouth: "......"

Suddenly, with a "boom", a firework rose into the night sky, and with a loud bang, a spark bloomed in the night sky.

The emperor turned his head, and the fireworks illuminated Zhu Qingchen's side face, and in the next second, he opened his mouth wide-

"Wow!"

Zhu Qingchen has never seen such a big fireworks.

"System, system, this is too big, isn't it? Wow! Look good! ”

The system was helpless: "I see, I have electronic eyes, I can see it, but you are still the prince and the prince, and you are not dignified at all." ”

"This one looks good, too!"

"Those old scholars are really right, you little fool, so ignorant, if you go to the modern world in the future, you won't faint on the spot?"

"What is the modern world?" Zhu Qingchen was too busy, too busy to listen to its answer, looking at the fireworks, his eyes didn't blink, "Wow! ”

On the contrary, on the castle tower, the emperor and his system did not communicate at all.

The emperor did not want to beat the system on a good day.

The system also doesn't want to be beaten on a good day.

There is a delicate balance that as long as they don't speak, nothing happens.

I don't know how long it took, but the fireworks ended.

Zhu Qingchen was still unsatisfied, covered his ears, and felt that the sound of fireworks exploding echoed in his ears.

He sat on the pony for a while, until Song Feng reminded him, and then he reluctantly stood up.

"Okay, it should be gone, let's go back."

"Yes." Song Feng took two small horses and followed behind the master.

Zhu Qingchen walked back slowly, looking back from time to time, looking forward to the next fireworks show.

It's a pity that there isn't.

He walked into the city gate, and suddenly saw the carriage of the old scholar stopped on the side of the road.

Zhu Qingchen stepped forward to say hello: "Senior Officer." ”

Senior Senior Scholar lifted the carriage curtain: "Xiao Zhu, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to watch the fireworks." Zhu Qingchen said, "What is the senior senior official doing here?" ”

"I ...... I'm also here to see the fireworks. ”

"Oh." Zhu Qingchen was a little puzzled, "Sitting in the carriage and watching the fireworks?" ”

Senior Senior Senior Officer paused for a moment: "Didn't you just finish reading it and are ready to go back?" ”

"Oh." Zhu Qingchen nodded, stood in place, and looked at him seriously.

Senior Senior Scholar paused for a moment: "You're not going back?" ”

"I'll wait for the old scholar to go first."

"Don't wait, you go back first, I still have something to do."

"Oh, okay."

Zhu Qingchen didn't know what to do, and the senior scholar poked his head out of the carriage and waved his hand at him.

Zhu Qingchen felt strange, and he couldn't guess what he was going to do, so he could only go home.

returned home and watched the New Year with Song Feng.

After the husband outside the wall called the time, Zhu Qingchen sent a red envelope to Song Feng and let him go to sleep.

Before going to bed, Zhu Qingchen told the system: "Call me up early tomorrow morning." ”

The system wonders: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Zhu Qingchen paused: "It's nothing, I just want to get up early, you must let me get up early." ”

"Okay." The system set him an alarm clock for six in the morning.

*

The next morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

The system shouted to Zhu Qingchen to get up on time: "Host ......"

He just shouted, and Zhu Qingchen bounced up from the bed with a "bang".

He did not alarm the little servant, washed up quickly, put on his clothes, put on his plush hat, then pulled out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and led a horse from the stable, and went out of the house through the side door.

Last night the people kept vigil and slept late, so they got up later today.

There were no people on the streets, and Zhu Qingchen rode a horse and carried a basket and galloped through the streets.

The system could barely keep up with him: "Why are you going?" In such a hurry? ”

Zhu Qingchen did not answer.

When Zhu Qingchen rode his horse to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate were just about to open the city gate.

Zhu Qingchen was secretly happy in his heart: "Yes, I must be the earliest." ”

The system wonders: "What?" What was the earliest? ”

As soon as the city gate was opened, Zhu Qingchen rode a horse and got out of the crack in the door.

He rode his horse all the way, and then came to—

Daikakuji Temple!

Legend has it that as long as you burn incense on the first day of the first lunar month, you can bless the temple of the student's high school!

And in Zhu Qingchen's basket, all the incense candles and incense oil used for sacrifice are placed!

The system was shocked: "Didn't you make an appointment with Old Master Gao, and you didn't come to the incense?" ”

Zhu Qingchen simply turned over and dismounted: "I have thought about it for a few days, I should still have a stick of incense." ”

"It was said in the original book that Pei Xuan is the top talent, you don't have to worry."

"What is said in the book is very unreliable, what if Pei Xuan makes a mistake?"

“…… It seems that it is very reliable to pray to God and worship Buddha. ”

"Shut up, you are not allowed to blaspheme the 'God of Champions'!"

Before the temple opened, Zhu Qingchen carried the basket, ran up the stone steps quickly, lay on the door, and knocked lightly, for fear of alarming the "god of champions".

Zhu Qingchen looked at the temple from the crack in the door, and said softly: "May I ask anyone?" Is the door open? Can I go in and incense? ”

The little novice in the temple yawned and carried a broom, and as soon as he came out of it, he heard Zhu Qingchen knocking on the door, and a bright eye appeared in the crack of the door, which startled him a lot.

The little novice came back to his senses and stood still and saluted: "Donor, please wait a moment. ”

At this time, the sound of a carriage came from behind Zhu Qingchen.

Zhu Qingchen looked back and saw that several old scholars were in carriages, all coming from the direction of leaving the city.

The carriage sped away, and they poked their heads out of the carriage window.

"Little wishes! Little Wish is there! ”

"He's not a little fool at all, he's a fucking chicken thief!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

Zhu Qingchen turned his head, leaned on the door, and knocked on the door again and again: "Little Master, hurry!" Don't salute yet, open the door for me! I'm going to incense my top talent! The future of the Great Qi Dynasty is tied to you! ”

Xiao Shami opened the latch of the door and wanted to say something to him, but before he could speak, Zhu Qingchen rushed in with a basket, leaving him with only an afterimage.

I'm number one! I'm the head of the incense! The champion must be my student......

Zhu Qingchen took three steps and made two steps, climbed a few stone steps, and was just about to rush into the main hall, when he suddenly saw something and stopped.

"High ...... Senior Scholar? ”

The senior scholar was holding three sticks of incense, standing in front of the Buddha statue reverently, bowing three times, and respectfully inserting the incense sticks into the empty incense burner.

A bolt from the blue!

Zhu Qingchen's whole person was frozen in place, and he almost fainted.

The first was not him, his first flew away.

After the old scholar Gao finished the incense, he turned around and saw him: "Yo, Xiaozhu, are you here?" ”

He stepped forward, patted Zhu Qingchen on the shoulder, and sighed: "Continue to work hard next time, after so many years, it's time for me to teach a champion." ”

Zhu Qingchen hadn't woken up yet, and he was in a daze: "But I obviously came in as soon as I opened the door, how could you ...... earlier than me?"

Senior Senior Senior Scholar smiled and touched his head: "Silly boy, I lived in Dajue Temple last night." ”

"You lied to me!" Zhu Qingchen was so angry that he stomped his feet, "You said it yourself, 'Whoever comes to offer incense will be sorry for Master Zu'!" ”

"Aren't you here too?"

"I ...... Master Zu won't be so stingy! ”

Senior Senior Scholar rubbed his head: "Come in, you go in now, you still have time to put on the second incense." ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Qingchen replied aggrievedly, carrying the basket and preparing to go in.

In the next second, the other old scholars were on crutches, trembling and catching up from behind, and Zhu Qingchen took a step forward and entered the main hall.

"Leaderboard!"

"Tanhua!"

"The top three are gone."

Senior Senior looked at him regretfully: "Poor boy, there is no way, you are the last." ”

Zhu Qingchen threw the basket down, sat on the stone steps in front of the main hall, and cried with his head up to the sky: "I'm not doing it anymore!" ”
