Wang Qilin looked at this man intently.

Very good at camouflage.

It's like an ordinary second-rate person in the city: you have to step on the back of a good pair of cotton shoes, the waistband of your pants is loose, your clothes are dirty, your face is unkempt, and you have a knife pinned to your waist.

The man hesitated when he saw him, and cowered in the door next to him.

"Boom!"

The gatehouse blew up.

Chen Weiyue saw him disappear and immediately made an emergency landing from the air, pinching the man's neck with one hand, and the other hand poked out like lightning, and the man's two arms were removed.

Suddenly, the big man screamed in horror.

Wang Qilin walked over quickly and opened his robe, and saw the dazed black beans dozing off.

Xie Toad stretched out his hand to wipe it under his nose and said, "Collect soul incense, it's okay." ”

Soul incense is a commonly used thing for abductors, it is a kind of low-end incense, which can only be used to charm the old and young women and children, and the sturdy man can resist its medicinal power.

Wang Qilin looked at the man and asked, "Do you explain it yourself, or will the official come to help you explain?"

The man shouted in a panic: "Adult, adult, this is a misunderstanding, this child was abducted, I actually helped people find the child, and then found that he appeared in our city, so I want to take him back to his biological father......"

"This is my nephew, dear. Wang Qilin interrupted him, "You are not honest, it seems that you don't want to confess yourself?" Go, Brother Fei, take him back to the post house for a good interrogation." ”

Wu Dasan stayed in the post house to play with a big stick, and Ma Ming was watching the excitement.

Wang Qilin called the two of them back, pointed at the man and said, "He has something to do with the desire of the previous dynasty, but his mouth is very tight, judge him well." ”

Ma Ming's face suddenly became gloomy, he pressed one of the person's hands with his stump arm, took out a knife and pushed it forward, the tip of the knife drilled into the nail cover, and he slammed it up-

The nails flew up, and the man wailed.

"Talk about it, I'll say it all, say it all!"

"Adults spare their lives, they all say, I must say!"

"I, I, I, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, and the sin deserves to die!"

"The villain likes girls, and is not interested in girls, today I saw that this girl's breasts are so big, and the adults spare her life, she is too big, the villain can't hold back, and I didn't hold back for a while......"

Listening to him, Wang Qilin was dumbfounded: "Wait, what do you mean? What are you tying up my nephew for?"

The man knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed: "The small sin deserves ten thousand deaths, the sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and there should be no blasphemy against her." But the little one didn't do anything, please look at the little one who didn't do anything, and spare the little one's life!"

Wang Qilin's face was gloomy and he called a local wrestler and asked him to investigate this man.

As a result, the information that came back from the investigation made his face even darker.

This man's name is Shi Erdaozi, he is indeed a skinny bastard in the city, he grew up in the city since he was a child, and there are traces of this.

His reputation was very bad, and when Lux went to his neighbors to inquire about the news, when he heard that he was inquiring about Shi Erdao, the neighbors closed their doors one after another.

In the end, a family secretly told Lux that Shi Erdao likes to take advantage of little girls on weekdays, and as long as he sees a little girl alone, he either touches people's faces or slaps people's butts.

In this way, Wang Qilin understood that this person had a pedophilia.

He kidnapped Black Bean, maybe it really had nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he was completely deceived by the two little tails of the black bean on his chest!

But with Aqing's lesson in front of him, Wang Qilin didn't dare to underestimate this stone and two knives, so he asked Ma Ming to torture him ruthlessly.

Ma Ming opened his ten fingernails in a row, knocked him unconscious twice, and called grandpa and grandma, and the news revealed was indeed no problem.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin was depressed, dare to find trouble by himself?

He called Black Bean over and stuffed the two little tails back into him.

Hey, I don't usually pay attention to it, this kid really has the potential of a women's clothing boss, and the little thing is actually born with clear eyebrows, but it's a little darker.

But black pearls are more attractive.

Considering what his nephew said with his uncle, Wang Qilin was relieved, who could he blame? Could he blame himself for being too handsome?

He is very glad that there is no pervert in the village where he was a child, otherwise he has been picking up his sisters' dresses to wear, and if he encounters a pervert, he is afraid that he will lose his innocence a long time ago.

People like Shi Erdao are really disgusting, Wang Qilin called Xie Toad over and asked him to give Shi Erdao a little color.

Xie Toad slapped his palm on the forehead, shaking his ghost soul endlessly, and he couldn't return to normal in this life.

The ghost is in charge of desire, and this soul is shaken, and people have no interest in such things as lust.

When Wang Qilin first met him, he once used this trick to help a butcher's son quit gambling.

The sun is slanting in the west, scattered firecrackers are heard all over the city, and when the cold wind blows, the entire city of Shangyuan Prefecture is full of fireworks.

This is also the flavor of the year.

A fire was lit at the door of every house, and Wang Qilin made two braziers and put charcoal in them, lit a fire at the door of the post house and lit a fire at the door of the fifth flavor.

In fact, there is no one in the fifth taste, Hu Tu went home for the New Year, and Suisui Niangzi and Bao Dalai Post House kept the New Year together.

However, the bonfire must be lit, which is a custom handed down from the Tang Dynasty, this bonfire is called "Ting Liao", every household must be lit, and the sky-high fire will illuminate the street through the courtyard wall and gate throughout the night.

Xie Toad said that many of the supplies used in the New Year have great uses for driving away evil spirits, such as the pastry that needs to be made on Chinese New Year's Eve, such as the charcoal ash left over from the burning of the garden, such as the paper ash and cigarette ash left over from burning paper and incense for the ancestors, and so on.

As night falls, families begin to prepare their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

At this point, the sound of firecrackers became louder.

Wang Qilin replaced the post house with new peach charms and spring couplets, and the powerful man came over and asked, "My lord, why do you want to change peach charms and paste spring couplets today?"

The folk customs of Shangyuan Prefecture are simple and conservative, and many customs are consistent with those of the Tang and Song dynasties, such as the peach exchange charm.

Nowadays, many prefectures and counties have lost the custom of hanging peach charms, and have replaced them with Spring Festival couplets and door gods, but these customs are still preserved in Uehara Prefecture.

Moreover, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the peach talisman has been replaced by the two great gods of Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Jingde, but the peach talisman of Shangyuan Mansion is still the two door gods of Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

Another point is the time to change the peach charm and paste the Spring Festival, and the Uehara Prefecture still follows the ancient precept, and the new peach charm and the New Year Lian are replaced on the first day of the New Year, not on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wang Qilin smiled and said: "It's not bad for this day, anyway, today is already a new atmosphere, so let's switch to a new one." ”

In fact, Xie Toad asked him to change the peach charm today, but he didn't say the reason, so he couldn't explain it to Lux either.

The sorrow of illiteracy.

Lux scratched his head and said: "Today is the farewell of the old, and tomorrow is the welcome of the new." ”

Wang Qilin didn't care about him, and studied the Spring Festival couplets posted on the door by himself:

The beginning of the three yangs, the beginning of the copper hun and the beginning of the jade law to adjust the yang.

The four prefaces are opened, and the five blessings are eliminated by the three calamities.

This Spring Festival couplet font is quite upright, but there is no muscle at all, and the person who wrote it seems to have too weak wrist strength, so these words seem to be good at a casual look, but they are not good when you look closely.

Wang Qilin's family regarded it as a treasure.

This is the Spring Festival couplet written by Black Bean, or the words he painted.

Xu Xiaoda has a calligraphy, after the black bean was learned, he gave it as a gift to the elementary school, so this year Wang Qilin asked the black bean to find a Spring Festival couplet and choose the words from the calligraphy, and write it out one stroke at a time.

So although this Spring Festival couplet is ordinary, it is an epoch-making thing for the Wang family:

The last three generations of their Wang family were all illiterate, and the new generation finally produced a reader who could write Spring Festival couplets!

After appreciating the Spring Festival couplets, Wang Qilin put away the old peach talismans.

The peach charm is a pair of ordinary wood chips cut from the branches of the peach tree, painted red with paint, and hung on both sides of the gate to ward off evil spirits.

But the peach charm of the post house is painted with cinnabar, the color is red and heavy, and after hanging outside the post house for a year, it is already an old object to ward off evil spirits, which is quite precious.

The black bean squatted in front of the fire and threw a dry bamboo board into it from time to time, and there was air in the bamboo, and after burning, the air expanded and exploded, making a crackling sound.

He probably didn't feel like it was enough, so he suddenly threw a few firecrackers into it.

Now it's lively, Mars is blown up and flies into the sky!

Wang Qiaoniang, who was busy in the house, didn't even wait and see, and came out directly with a broom!

Black Bean exclaimed in horror, "Throw the wrong thing!"

Wang Qiaoniang smiled cruelly: "My mother is going to hit the wrong person." ”

Black Bean shouted again: "Mother, you can't beat people during the New Year, the book says that you must do good things in the New Year." ”

Wang Qiaoniang said coldly: "My mother hasn't read the book, my mother only knows that the ancestor left a sentence, beating the child during the New Year, and being idle anyway!"

Black Bean began to somersault in horror.

Wang Qiaoniang did not come to beat him, but threw the broom into the fire and burned it.

Seeing this scene, black beans suddenly burst into tears, and he choked up: "It's still my mother who loves beans the most, and my mother will never beat beans again, right?"

Wang Qiaoniang sent a kind and warm smile to her son: "No, it's a custom to burn old brooms during the New Year, my mother bought a new broom when she rushed to the big market yesterday, and my mother will use a new broom to whip you tomorrow." ”

"Remember, the new broom my mother bought is made of bamboo, and it hurts to smoke your ass!"

Black Bean's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Suisui Niangzi smiled and came out to wipe his tears and said, "How can you cry during the New Year? ”

Black Bean's eyes clicked and fell: "Auntie, Dou and Dou are crying happily." ”

Wang Qilin also sat in front of Tingliao, he hugged the cat in his left hand and the dog in his right hand, there was a fire in front of him, and there was a yin and yang fish jade pendant in his arms, so it was not cold at all, and he watched the liveliness of black beans with relish.

Xie Toad staggered out with a bottle of wine and a plate of fried melon seeds, Wang Qilin looked at it and shook his head, what is so delicious about this thing?

He removed some bamboo skewers from the eldest sister's newly bought bamboo broom, skewered the mutton, took salt and cumin, and grilled the mutton skewers over a charcoal fire.

The mutton of this year is not irrigated with water or feed, it is all free-range goats, and the red and white mutton is roasted on charcoal, and soon there is fat and fat coming out.

The grease dripped on the charcoal, and suddenly there was a flame jumping.

Black Bean's eyes suddenly dried, and then changed to water at the corners of his mouth.

He squatted in front of Wang Qilin and stared at the mutton skewers: "Uncle, uncle, mutton can't be burned, it will be bitter if burned, and it will slip." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Uncle loves to eat bitter, and don't eat black beans if you don't like them." ”

Black Bean sneered: "Actually, I also like to eat, prickly slippery." ”

A handful of mutton skewers tumbled and jumped on the outer flame, and soon they were cooked, Wang Qilin handed the black beans first, and the black beans ran into the house to give his mother two bites first, and then he put all the remaining mutton into his mouth.

Afterwards, he frowned and thought about it with a bamboo stick, and his eyes lit up: the bamboo stick was broken, he secretly took out the new broom, and pulled out all the bamboo sticks: "Uncle, grill more meat, it's delicious." ”

Wang Qilin smiled: "Okay, but black beans, you must grit your teeth on the second day of the Lunar New Year." ”

"Why?" wondered Black Bean.

Wang Qilin said: "Your mother won't beat you on the first day of junior high school, she won't beat children on the first day of junior high school, but she will beat you half to death on the second day of junior high school!"

Black Bean said confidently: "My mother also eats bamboo strips of mutton, she eats more than beans!"

Wang Qilin turned into a kebab master, and continued to supply barbecue meat to the big guy overnight.

The night was deep, and the bell and drum tower suddenly rang the bell: "Knock-knock-knock!"

When the time came, firecrackers rang out again on the street, and the moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new finally arrived.

For the first time, Uehara Mansion woke up at night, and the sound of talking and laughing sounded in the bright lights of thousands of homes.

Wang Qilin shouted: "Black beans, New Year's greetings!"

Heidou was already sleepy, but when he heard that it was the New Year's greeting, he hurriedly squeezed his eyes and ran into the house, he first found Wang Liuwu and knelt down and kowtowed: "Grandpa, Fuyan New Day, Celebration of Longevity is boundless." ”

Seeing this scene, Wang Liuwu's beard trembled with excitement: "Black beans grow so fast, when Xiao Qi first became an official this year, I asked him to say something nice to Xiao Qi, what did he say? He said that I wish my uncle a long life and give birth to a noble son earlier than Nanshan." ”

Suisui Niangzi smiled, this child is really sensible.

Wang Liuwu said again: "Look at the present, look at the present, it's only been less than a year, what will the black beans say, what did you just say?"

Black Bean smiled proudly, opened his mouth and was about to make a loud voice, Wang Qilin answered in time: "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." ”

As soon as he heard this, Hei Dou gasped, uncle is uncle, this is really smooth and direct!

So he hurriedly changed his words: "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!"

Others also gave New Year's greetings to the second elder, Chen Weiyue was the most exquisite, and bowed his hand to the student salute: "Fuqing is new, and Shoulu is extended." ”

After greeting the old man, the big guys began to greet each other, and at this time, Yang Dayan was busy, because the whole city was going to start greeting the New Year!

Still following the traditional customs, the people of Uehara Prefecture have to step on the night to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has officially begun.

Before eating, drink first, and drink two kinds of wine during the New Year, one is the Tusu wine that the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and the other is the pine tree and the pepper and pepper wine.

As usual, these two pots of wine are made by Suisui Niangzi.

Tu Su is a traditional Chinese medicine wine, mixed with rhubarb, atractylodes, bellflower, Shu pepper, cinnamon, aconitum, sarsaparilla seven kinds of medicinal materials, the drinking method is very particular, in the afternoon the wine jar is hung in the well, at this time from the well dragged out to drink.

Cold!

Pepper and cypress wine is a wine made from pepper and cypress leaves, which has the effect of driving away evil spirits and detoxifying and prolonging life.

Interestingly, when drinking alcohol is usually from the elders, only at the beginning of the new year, from the juniors, this is called 'the younger ones get the year, the first wine congratulates, the old ones lose the age, so the wine and the wine'.

Black Bean is a child after all, and after sniffing the wine, he stepped back, covering his mouth and resolutely not drinking the strange-smelling liquid.

Wang Qilin took out a red envelope and slapped it on the table: "A glass of wine, a red envelope!"

Black Bean plucked up the courage to hold his breath and rushed up, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, a glass of wine, and drank all the six glasses of wine poured out on the table for him in one go!

Seeing this, Wang Qilin's face was full of doubts: "Is this kid lying to me about the red envelope?"

It is late at night when the New Year's Eve is drunk, and it is often cold at this time, so the wine brewed by Suisui Niangzi is very mellow and is a high degree of wine.

It didn't take long for the black beans to shake up, and Wang Qiaoniang hurriedly picked him up and sent him away.

At this time, the black beans began to make a fuss: "No, don't go, continue to drink, the beans still have to drink, drink, drink! ”

He's starting to talk nonsense.

Wang Qiaoniang coaxed him and said: "Black Bean will go to bed first, and when I wake up tomorrow, I will have new clothes to wear, and my mother made a new sheepskin jacket for Black Bean, which is beautiful and warm." ”

She sent away the black beans for a while before coming back, and when she came back, she got angry: "Alas, this child is the same as his bear father, and he didn't count after drinking some wine!"

Wang Qilin silently gnawed on the Wuxin plate.

In the pottery dish on the table, a piece of green and green is spicy, and there are garlic, small garlic, leeks, brassica, and coriander, which is the Wuxin plate that can drive away evil spirits and detoxify and prolong life with Tusu wine and pepper and cypress wine.

Wang Lu took his daughters and started serving.

When the first day of the Lunar New Year comes, every household in the city has to set up a banquet, and the New Year's greeters will not stay at home to eat, but will hurry out to pay New Year's greetings, and eat wherever they go during the period, which is the famous throne in history.

Yang Dayan shouted: "Houmen Tianyan Hou, Zhao Kuo is here to pay New Year's greetings!"

In any case, the white tiger died at the hands of Wang Qilin, and for Hou Men, listening to the heavenly prison fulfilled its promise and indeed avenged the sixteen disciples who died unjustly.

Because of this, Zhao Kuo felt that he owed the favor of the Heavenly Supervisor, so he was the first to come to Wang Qilin's post house for the New Year's greetings today.

Wang Qilin walked out to greet him, and the two sides saluted each other and congratulated each other on the New Year.

Zhao Kuo came to the door with a gift.

He took out the gift box, but Wang Qilin hurriedly refused: "What does Mr. Zhao mean by this?

Zhao Kuo smiled back: "Lord Wang is polite, this gift is not for you, but for your parents and children." ”

"Especially for your child, I heard that your nephew is a young genius who is good at reading sage books, so I specially found a Yan Zhenqing calligraphy and a volume of "Zhu Zi Criticism of the Spring and Autumn Period" to him, wishing him to gain fame as soon as possible!"

Black Bean shed a tear in her dream.

Zhao Kuo didn't stay at the post house for long, and he had to hurry to Wuhanlin Gate to pay New Year's greetings.

Wang Qilin said that he was going to go too, and the two sides were on the same road, so he said to Suisui Niangzi: "You stay at the post house to pick up guests on my behalf......"

Suisui Niangzi's eyes widened.

"Meet the guests who have come to greet me. Wang Qilin added, "I'll go outside first." ”

Suisui Niangzi was very embarrassed and said: "Uncle's arrangement is unreasonable, in what capacity does the slave family receive New Year's guests for you?"

Wang Qilin gave her a tacit smile: "Seven ladies." ”

Sui Sui Niangzi smiled and punched him in the chest with a small fist, and Zhao Kuo secretly swallowed his saliva when he saw it.

The group of concubines in the family suddenly became unfragrant.

Wu Hanlin's county guard mansion is called a lively, busy and endless, the doorman's busy feet do not touch the ground, and he is holding a pile of famous thorns in his arms-

You don't have to enter the house to greet the New Year, and you can send a famous thorn to meet people.

This is the case everywhere, giving large sums of money to paper shops.

Not everyone is qualified to enter the gate of the county guard's mansion, and more people can only send a famous thorn to make a card, as for whether the county guard will see these famous thorns, then the answer is yes, of course the county guard will not look at it.

But the county keeper can not look at it, but the big guy can't help but send it, and the famous thorns sent are all high-standard gold-plated famous thorns.

When the porter carried a stack of thorns inside, it looked as if he was carrying a stack of gold bricks.

Of course, Wang Qilin's identity is qualified to go in to pay New Year's greetings, but he also tasted it in the county guard's mansion, went in and said two auspicious words, and then hurried to the Yinjiang Post House.

Taiba is his top boss.

Wu Hanlin did not leave him, but personally sent him out, and before leaving, he took his hand and said: "After the Spring Festival Ceremony after dawn, you have to stand behind Mr., Mr. I have something to say to you." ”

This treatment is the envy of a group of high-ranking officials and the wealthy.

For a long time in history, the Spring Festival was considered to be the beginning of spring.

"Later Han Book Etiquette Chronicles" has clouds: the beginning of spring, the night leakage is not over five minutes, the Beijing division of hundreds of officials are all dressed in green clothes, the county and county officials go down to the fight to order the history of the green banner, the beginning of spring, the earth ox cultivator outside the door, in order to show the people.

Therefore, every year at the beginning of spring, from the imperial capital to the county seat, officials must go to welcome the spring under the leadership of the chief in charge.

Wang Qilin went to the Yinjiang Post House.

It's cold here, Taiba has a cold temperament, and he usually doesn't socialize with officials, so even if an official gives him a New Year's greeting during the New Year, he won't meet him, and will only let the doorman receive the next thorn.

This year's situation is even more special, a few days ago the post house almost let people burn, although now it has been cleaned up, but there are some traces left inside.

With the arrogance of the ether, he naturally didn't want people to see these traces, so he didn't allow anyone to enter or leave.

Wang Qilin is not 'just someone', he made great contributions after coming to Shangyuan Mansion, even Taiba has to look up to him by two points.

He walked into the post house, and someone was coming from the opposite side, and suddenly turned around and walked away quickly.

Wang Qilin felt that something was wrong, and pointed at the man and said vigilantly, "Who is he?"

You Xing, who was leading the way, looked at it and said, "Oh, it's Lord Qian Xiao, Lord Qian comes every year to pay New Year's greetings to Lord Taiba." ”

Wang Qilin suddenly realized and expressed his understanding.

Qian Xiao now estimates that the last person he wants to see is him, if he can't beat him, it is estimated that this thing will beat him once he sees him.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Taiba was still taking care of his beloved birds.

The battle of the White Tiger was really tragic, and a large number of Taiba's crows died, so that he was reluctant to give Wang Qilin a crow as a reward.

Wang Qilin went to pay him a New Year's greeting, he still had to continue, and he left Wang Qilin directly in the post house, and said lightly: "You are the one who listens to the heavenly prison, and it is not a good thing to get too close to the officials of the yamen, so let's feed the birds with me this morning, and we will go to the Spring Festival together later." ”
