In Xiandu, on the first day of the first lunar month, the ancestors are worshipped, and the reunion dinner is eaten early, and every household will put melon seeds, hemp dumplings and other snacks in the hall of the main house, waiting for the juniors of the neighbors to come to the door to pay homage to the New Year.

On the evening of the thirtieth, Qi Bo first told Shen Yun about the New Year's customs of the Xiandu, and then asked: "Master Shen, what is the charter tomorrow?"

Shen Yun asked rhetorically: "What kind of charter was it in previous years?"

Qi Bo was truthful: "The master is closed, and we live our own lives." ”

Shen Yun quickly figured it out: although Qi Bo and the others were older, they were slaves on the surface. It is impossible to call the juniors of the family to come to the door and give a few untouchables to Qi Bo and the others; Hong Tianbao is a good citizen, but he is young and has not yet become married, and he belongs to the ranks of visiting the neighbors to pay New Year's greetings. Where is he happy? So, the only way to do this is to close the door and live his own life.

In fact, Shen Yun was not happy either. So, he said to Ziber, "It is the same as in previous years." ”

I'm afraid that this year can't be the same as in previous years...... Qi Bo opened his mouth, and when he saw Shen Ye who was green and green, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips and responded, "Yes." "To be honest, it was freezing cold, and he was reluctant to let Shen Ye go out to visit the New Year.

So, as in previous years, it was still the usual breakfast spot, everyone in the east wing, lively and lively New Year's greetings to each other, after a sumptuous reunion dinner, each went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Shen Yun practiced his mind as usual.

I didn't want to, so I finished walking the third time, and Qi Bo's voice came from the porch outside: "Master Shen, Master Chen at the corner of the street just sent someone to hand over the prayer post, and I will bring the family to come over to pay New Year's greetings in a while." ”

Shen Yun was confused - who is the old man at the corner of the street? Who is it? I haven't even taken a photo, okay!

He hurriedly got off the kang, put on his shoes, and went out of the room.

I saw Ziber wearing a new sheepskin outfit, standing under the porch with a happy face. Seeing him, he handed over a big red and gold post with both hands.

Shen Yun opened it and looked at it, and it was clearly written: Chen family at the entrance of the street.

Make no mistake.

"Qi Bo, does Master Chen usually have dealings with Brother Tianbao?" Shen Yunxin said: What about closing the door and living your own life?

"Nope. Ziber replied, "At most, it's just a meeting and a nod." ”

"How old is he?" Shen Yun wondered.

"The year before last, a few days after we moved here, he put out a 50-year-old birthday wine and distributed a plate of longevity peaches to the neighbors. He asked me to send me a basket of newly listed cherries as a return gift. ”

Shen Yun was taken aback—in his fifties? This is in the provincial capital, and that is an old lady with a hall full of children and grandchildren!

Just as he was about to ask "when will their family come", Uncle Ding also limped over from outside wearing a new outfit from head to toe.

Running in a hurry, he panted and handed over a few big red posts: "Shen Ye, again, there are good, a few, send the posts over." ”

"What's going on?" Shen Yun asked with a puzzled look at the posts of the Zhang family at the end of the street, the Li family on the left, and the Lin family on the right.

Qi Bo smiled: "Good thing. They saw that Shen Ye was young and promising, and they had the heart to cling to it, and they came to make friends through the New Year's Festival. ”

Uncle Ding said more bluntly: "Shen Ye, the eldest grandson of the Wang family in Qianjie is studying art in Tiger Leaping Hall. On that day, you went to Tiger Leap Hall to apply for a job, and he happened to see you. Now, who in this area doesn't know that you are the steward hired by Tiger Leap Hall. didn't even miss a day, but he was valued by Tiger Yuetang, not only paid a month's salary, but also got the New Year's gift. "If you don't come to climb now, when the high-rise buildings stand majestically, which of these people on this street can still afford to climb?

I see. Shen Yun suddenly realized and asked, "When will they come?" What are we going to do to prepare?"

Qi Bo replied: "Earlier, I was worried that some neighbors would come to recognize their faces on the occasion of the New Year, so I made some preparations. The main house of the master was also properly arranged, and the earth dragon was also burned last night. At this time, my mother-in-law took Aunt Luo to set three dishes and six bowls over there. When Shen Ye is free, go over, as soon as Lao Ding opens the door, Old Man Chen's house will come over. ”

Shen Yunxin said: As the saying goes, don't hit smiling people head-on. People are dozens of years older, and they bring a family to visit the door during the Chinese New Year, and they can't be rude.

"Okay, I'll go right over. He went back to the house and changed into a brocade robe.

Qi Bo and Uncle Ding saw that he had deliberately changed into the brocade robe he had when he went out, and they had respect in their hearts - don't look at Shen Ye's young age, but he acted in a disciplined manner. What is even more rare is that he is not arrogant or impatient, treats people kindly, and is courteous to others. That's the kind of person who does great things.

Not long after Shen Yun sat down in the hall of the main house, Qi Bo led several well-dressed people to this side.

The leader was a lean old man dressed in a black mink fur and gray beard. Behind him, there were ten men, both middle-aged men with red faces and small boys three feet tall.

Needless to say, this lean old man is Master Chen. The rest are his children and grandchildren.

More than a dozen steps away, Shen Yun could see at a glance: Among these people, only the lean old man and the red-faced middle-aged man were accompanied by fists and feet. But, at best, it's what a junior martial artist looks like. The rest, including another younger, middle-aged man, were not warriors.

A closer look reveals that among these people, only the two of them have jade ornaments on their belts that identify the identity of junior martial artists.

There is an old saying in Niutouao Village, which is called, everyone who comes to the door is a guest. Shen Yun got up, walked to the porch and hugged his fists to greet him: "Master Chen, Happy New Year." ”

Master Chen strode forward to hold his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Lin, Happy New Year." ”

Shen Yun didn't show it on his face, but he was still very surprised in his heart—didn't he say that the people of Xiandu easily looked down on outsiders? Old Master Chen actually had an equal relationship with him, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old foreigner!

The two entered the main house together. The Chen family man in the back was led in by Qi Bo.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Master Chen introduced his children and grandchildren to Shen Yun one by one: "This is the eldest son, second son, and eldest grandson of the old man......"

When they were named, whether it was a middle-aged man or a little boy, they all got up from their seats, stepped forward, and respectfully clasped their fists and saluted: "New Year's greetings to Shen Ye." ”

The sound was louder than the other.

Typical junior gifts!

Shen Yun sat on the main seat, embarrassed. Fortunately, Qi Bo was prepared, and asked Qi Ma to seal ten red purses with a brand-new red lacquer round tray and stand next to him. After they finished their New Year's greetings, he stubbornly took a red purse from the tray.

Finally, the little boy who was three feet tall arrived. The little guy was dressed like a bulging big red envelope, and staggered forward to salute, with a long slap, which was to fall down with his head down, and he was about to fall on a big heel.

Shen Yun's eyes were quick, and before Master Chen, he stretched out his arms and scooped up the whole little guy with an ignorant face.

What a quick move! Unexpectedly, an afterimage was pulled out! The eyes of Master Chen and his eldest son were full of amazement.

However, the little one did not understand. When he came back to his senses, he stared at a pair of big black eyes, and saw his black-faced big brother who was called "Shen Ye" in his arms, and he panicked all of a sudden-the New Year has not yet been completed! The task sent by his grandfather has not been completed, what should I do?

He pursed his lips decisively, crying first in respect: "Wow-"

This look is exactly the same as when Sweet Girl was a child...... Shen Yun didn't realize it, took an orange from the table and stuffed it into his hand, and coaxed softly: "Fu orange is for you, don't cry, okay?"

The little guy was holding the big orange in both hands, and where did he remember whether the task had been completed or not?

It's too big, it's rare that Shen Ye doesn't care. Beside them, including Master Chen, the men of the Chen family all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
