Chinese New Year's Eve. óΠъ.oяＧ

Eating dumplings and watching fireworks, the air is filled with a strong New Year's flavor.

Zhu Yunwen was old, and halfway through the year, he couldn't help but go back to the room to sleep, and the master and apprentice came to the bench under the pavilion to sit down, enjoy the scenery, and chat.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, and the stars are bright.

The soft moonlight spilled in, stretching the figures of the two for a long time.

"Time flies!" Li Qing sighed.

He clasped his arms in his hands and suddenly felt a little cold.

Jinling this year is indeed a little cold, but it is nothing to him at all, even in the icy and snowy Jingshi, he does not feel this way.

In the final analysis, Li Qing's coldness is not a physical feeling, but a mental feeling.

Zhang sloppy smiled: "It's not that time flies fast, but that most of your memory points are focused on the New Year's Festival, so you will have this feeling." ”

"Perhaps." Li Qing smiled.

The white heat exhaled, drifted away, and quickly disappeared.

Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Master, do you feel that the temperature in Jinling in the past two years has dropped a little compared to that time in the Hongwu period?" ”

"Kind of." Zhang sloppy nodded slightly, and then smiled, "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and the climate is different every year, what's so strange about this." ”

Li Qing scratched his head and said to himself, "I hope so." ”

He shifted his body next to the master, and the coldness dropped a lot.

Zhang's sloppy snow-white eyebrows trembled, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes were full of kindness, gently patting his back.

The master and apprentice looked up at the sky, just like when they were in the mountain small Taoist temple.

Unconsciously, midnight passed, and time came to the eleventh year of orthodoxy.

It's a new year again.

…

New Year's Day.

Before dawn, Li Qing was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

Got up and came to the courtyard, the little old man was boxing, sometimes slowly, sometimes slower, but there was an indescribable charm.

The sound of firecrackers surrounds in the ears, and the air is filled with the smell of nitric acid.

However, Li Qing thought it smelled good, and he liked to smell it.

"Master, I'll play with you." Li Qing stepped forward with a smile and played as well.

Zhang said sloppily: "You stay away from me, don't hurt you during the New Year." ”

"If you didn't hit me on purpose, how could you ...... Good. Li Qing was a little farther away.

The fist styles of the master and apprentice are completely different, Zhang is sloppy and natural, and the flow is smooth; Li Qing is boxing, fierce and domineering, but also very ornamental.

After practicing for half an hour, Li Qing's nose was sweating slightly, stretched his lower limbs, and hummed softly: "Hmm... It's so comfortable to have a bit of activity. ”

"The plan of the day lies in the morning, you, you are just too lazy." Zhang sloppily stopped, dusted off his robe and walked to the wing.

"It's about to be breakfast, why are you going, Master?"

Zhang raised his hand sloppily and didn't look back, "I'll sleep and stop breakfast." ”

…

After breakfast,

Li Qing and Zhu Yunwen went to the Cao Guo Mansion.

I don't visit the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Li Jinglong's deadline is approaching, and one day is less, and Li Qing can't take care of the so-called rules.

When the two arrived, Li Jinglong was very happy, "I thought you two wouldn't be here today." ”

Li Qing smiled: "It's not interesting at home, just come over and have a look." ”

"The sun is just right today, let's go outside and talk." Li Jinglong propped up the bed and wanted to get up, but Li Qing hurriedly went to help him.

Zhu Yunwen walked out of the room, and after a while, a wooden wheelchair was pushed.

The two of them carried him into a wheelchair and came to a sunny part of the courtyard.

The children and grandchildren of the Li family are very filial, in this era, the children and grandchildren of all large families are filial, firstly, they have been educated by Confucianism since childhood, and secondly, what they enjoy is the blessing brought to them by the ancestors of the family.

From his fifty-year-old son to his two-and-a-half-year-old great-grandson, they lined up to greet Li Jinglong.

This kind of family fun of children and grandchildren around the knee makes Li Qing envious.

But he didn't dare to hope.

Li Jinglong took out a delicate jade pendant from his arms and shook it in front of his little great-grandson, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"It's so pretty." The child was innocent, completely ignoring the eyes of his mother in the distance, and said in a milky voice: "Does grandpa want to give it to me?" ”

"Hong'er, don't do this." The granddaughter-in-law of the Li family stepped forward and gave a salute, wanting to take away her son, who didn't know how to be polite.

It is very rude for juniors to ask for things from their elders, and the elders can give them, but the juniors can't open their mouths and ask for them directly.

Moreover, the Li family has many branches and leaves, and there are many children and grandchildren, and the other houses have to chew the root of the tongue.

"Huh? Anyway. Li Jinglong waved his hand, "I give my great-grandson a gift, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" ”

"Yes, that's... The granddaughter-in-law retired. The Li family's granddaughter-in-law secretly warned her son with her eyes, and Ying Ying retreated.

Li Jinglong sighed: "There are many people, and there are many things!" ”

The family has a big business, there are many children and grandchildren, and dividing the property is a problem, Li Jinglong has to prepare in advance, he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to fight because of the family property after his death.

"Li Qing, you have a lot of ghost ideas, help me get an idea." Li Jinglong asked, "How do you think this property should be divided?" ”

"Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness, and divide it equally." Li Qing said with a smile, "This imperial court has a clear rule that no matter how young or old, they are all eligible to share the inheritance equally. ”

Zhu Yunwen interjected: "This regulation is almost no one to abide by now, even when Emperor Xuande was in violation, it was all in vain. ”

"yes." Li Jinglong sighed: "The world doesn't recognize it, and I'm not good at being a maverick." ”

said, patting his great-grandson's head, "Go and play for a while, grandpa told you to come over again." ”

"yes, okay." The little one went happily.

Li Qing frowned and said: "Regarding this, I will bring up the old matter again later, and it must be strictly implemented." ”

"Don't talk about that yet." Li Jinglong said angrily, "I won't live until then, so you can say what to do now." ”

"Hmm... Absolute fairness is not accepted, so let's be relatively fair. Li Qing said, "The position of the prince of the country is naturally inherited by the eldest son, and as for the family property... It can be divided into several parts, according to the eldest and youngest, and let them choose by themselves in turn. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "In this way, it is indeed relatively fair." ”

He was born as a concubine, although he was later corrected, but deep down he still thinks that he is not a concubine in the real sense.

Zhu Yunwen started from the identity of a concubine and persuaded: "They are all your children and grandchildren, no matter how concubines, they all have your blood on their bodies." ”

"Hmm... That's the reason. Li Jinglong nodded slightly, "This idea seems to be pretty good, Cheng, I'll integrate it later, and you can help refer to it." ”

The two nodded in agreement.

Li Jinglong looked up at the rising sun and squinted his eyes comfortably, Li Qing saw this, took his wrist, and wanted to give him some true anger.

"Don't worry, your method is easy to make me sleepy, I don't want to sleep on this good day." Li Jinglong withdrew his hand and asked, "Li Qing, do you want to have a son?" ”

Li Qing was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

"What do you think of my great-grandson?" Li Jinglong pointed to the children playing alone in the distance.

Li Qing was expressionless: "If you weren't dying, I would have to beat you up, I wouldn't have taken advantage of you so much." ”

"I'm serious." Li Jinglong's tone was rare and serious, "I didn't say anything, what do you think of him?" ”

"Not how." Li Qing rolled her eyes, "If I wanted a son, I would have given birth to it myself." ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "What he means is that if you don't know your roots, it will be extremely difficult for him to change his identity and re-enter the temple one day." ”

"I still know me." Li Jinglong smiled and nodded.

Li Qing was silent and sighed: "I don't know how it will develop in the future, I may... I won't be in the court again. ”

"Less, I don't know you yet?" Li Jinglong pouted, "Can you do something on the sidelines?" ”

"If you don't enter the court, it doesn't mean that you won't do anything." Li Qingdao.

Zhu Yunwen said: "But entering the dynasty is always the most efficient and convenient way, and there is no one." ”

"Yes, the old watch is right." Li Jinglong said with a straight face, "We will eventually grow old, we are the old man... I'm afraid I can't be like you. ”

After a pause, "Even if you really don't plan to enter the court again, you must have an identity, right?" ”

"yes!" Zhu Yunwen complimented, "You can't be an old rascal like Master, if that's the case, you won't be able to do anything." ”

"I ......"

"Senior brother, have you forgotten what you promised Taizu?"

Li Qing scolded angrily: "I owe you the Zhu family?" ”

"You're not for the Zhu family." Zhu Yunwen retorted.

"......" Li Qing fell into deep thought.

Although this era is not like that of later generations, you can't do anything without an ID card, but the problem of household registration is ...... It's really important.

Unless he wanders around like Zhang Sloppy, doesn't ask about the world, or goes back to the small Taoist temple to be a Taoist priest; Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to make a difference.

Identity is a hurdle!
