When night falls, every house lights up lanterns, and the capital in the distance is bright, but there are only sporadic highlights here. The sound of firecrackers sounded, mixed with the sound of two kicks, and the noise of the New Year came again, but the courtyard where Liang Xie was located was quiet, and the sound outside the house was even more lonely.

The cold wind blew, blowing the broken lantern under the eaves and shaking, Liang Xie slowly walked to the house by holding on to the wall, Yu Qibai hurriedly stepped forward to help, the two returned to the house, but saw that the two women were happily and bread dumplings, at this time the kung fu has wrapped as many as seventy or eighty, seeing Liang Xie come back, the two women smiled, one said: "The official is hungry, wait a while, the dumplings will be almost ready." "It was the woman named Rui'er who spoke.

Liang Xie frowned, the title of 'official' made him extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't know if he deliberately found such two people to disgust him, so that he was always twisted in the face of these two women.

Seeing that Liang Xie didn't speak, Yu Qibai reluctantly smiled to avoid embarrassment: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Another woman hit the snake with the stick, and when she saw Yu Qibai giving a good color, she immediately smiled and said: "What the official said, serving the official is the blessing of our sisters, if the official wants to ask for any of us at any time, or the three of us can ..... together." As she spoke, she ran her hand through her sideburns, grinning and winking.

Liang Xie glanced at it, and suddenly got goosebumps, and immediately coughed twice, and the two women stopped laughing and hurriedly came over to pinch their chests and beat their backs, and finally prevaricated.

Strictly speaking, Liang Xie doesn't think these two women are ugly, if they are fifteen years younger, they can even be said to be beautiful, but at this time they are not good-looking, if they are serious and talk well, Liang Xie can still accept it, but they just want to scratch their heads and make a gesture to show off their amorousness, and this name is even more pretending to be tender, which is really unbearable, just like' Pear blossom with rain' is a common means used by beauties, if it appears on a small and delicate woman, it will make people feel more pity, but if it appears on a woman who is seven feet tall, even if she is really a beauty, it may make people feel very unnatural, just imagine, one day Wu Zetian, who is half a head taller than you, suddenly cried and fell into your arms and claimed' Which man can stand it (just for example, I don't know how tall Wu Zetian is, anyway, more than one meter is no problem.) And that's what these two women are doing right now.

The two women pinched and hammered, and waited for Liang Xie for a long time, Liang Xie pretended to be relieved, and the two women hurriedly helped Liang Xie to sit down, dusted off the flour stuck to him and went busily.

After a while, after the dumplings were wrapped, the two women cooked a pot and poured vinegar and garlic for Liang Xie and Yu Qibai first, and brought the dumplings up. Liang Xie put one in his mouth and bit it down, the skin was slightly thick, the filling was a little dry, there was no oil and water, it was really not delicious, but looking at the eyes of the two women, he was not embarrassed to be picky, and immediately nodded and put one in his mouth, the two women were overjoyed, and repeatedly sandwiched the dumplings into the Liang Xie bowl, and said happily: "The official is recuperating from his injuries and eating more to make up for it." ”

Liang Xie is a little better and has an appetite, but he really can't eat much of this dumpling, but seeing the enthusiasm of the two, it's really hard to refuse, so he has to nod his head and agree, Yu Qibai looked at it and laughed, and also picked one up and put it in his mouth, and then the smile stopped.

The two of them ate eighty dumplings in one breath under the warm greeting of the two women, and then put down the bowl, and the two women put the remaining twenty or so dumplings into the pot, and kneaded the remaining small pieces of noodles into cakes, and roasted them on the iron plate of the stove. After eating the dumplings, the two girls brushed the pot and washed the dishes, and then went to the yard to make a strong fire before returning to the house.

The cold wind blew, the starlight was covered, the snowflakes floated in the sky, the two women boiled the medicine to serve Liang Xie and drank, the snow had fallen big, the courtyard was white, the cold wind swept the snowflakes and blew on the door, and the chill penetrated through the crack in the door, the two women got up and planned to go out to get some charcoal, but Yu Qibai had already taken the basket out, the time was not big, Yu Qibai turned around, added fire and carbon, and the fire in the stove gradually became prosperous again. As the night deepened and the weather became colder, the four people in the house sat around the fire and roasted the fire, but the four of them had nothing to say on this Chinese New Year's Eve, which should have been joyful and lively.

The nights are deeper, the snow is thicker, and the wind is tighter.

The fire in the furnace went down, and Yu Qibai added charcoal fire again, and the stove dimmed again for a while.

Quiet, the four of them didn't have too many words, the strange thing is that the two women didn't scratch their heads again, and they didn't post up again to offer their hospitality, but surprisingly quiet, staring at the fire silently, Yu Qibai took a sip of the wine in the gourd and handed it to a woman next to him, the woman shook her head and didn't answer, Yu Qibai handed it to another woman, the one called Rui'er, Rui'er also didn't take it uncharacteristically, Yu Qibai took back the gourd, and drank it again.

'Poof!' The candle shook and went out, but it was a candle that burned to the end, and the room was plunged into darkness. There was a soft sound, it seemed that something had fallen to the ground, Yu Qibai wanted to get up and change the candle, the woman next to him held him down, and Yu Qibai sat down silently.

The fire in the stove was beating and gradually burning, burning more and more vigorously, burning more and more red, the faces of the four people were red, and the fire light shone on the faces of the two women, and the bags under the eyes drooped down were particularly obvious.

'Let's click', there was another soft sound, this time Liang Xie saw it clearly, it was another woman's tears falling to the ground, he was puzzled, such a mercenary person who sells his body also knows how to be sad and know how to cry?

He laughed secretly, feeling disdainful, and suddenly his heart ached, he couldn't help but think of a person, didn't she have such an identity? The contemptuous smile that rose in Liang Xie's heart froze, they are also human beings, they may be humble compared to the hard-working farmers, but they are many times more noble than those who burn and loot, in other words, she may be more worthy of respect than herself.

Their behavior does make people feel cheap, but aren't those servants who grovel and wagging their tails and beg for mercy even more cheap? Liang Xie suddenly found that some of the concepts he had always taken for granted had been impacted, and this impact made him feel a little incredible, but he also felt some truth.

Liang Xie wanted to persuade a few words, but he felt that all the words did not need to be said, persuasion was a simple thing, simple to the point of irresponsibility, simple to the point of standing and talking without backache, persuading people to be good and simple, at the age of the two women, this bowl of rice can be regarded as the end of eating, but after the good? People always have to eat, with the identity and appearance of the two women, who can marry to? With the skill of the two women making dumplings, who is willing to eat? The most important thing is that he has not even understood his own life, why should he persuade others?

They are all mortals, pretending to be enlightened.

The fire was beating, and the four of them sat quietly under the flickering light of the fire, without saying a word, each thinking about their own thoughts, their own futures, and no longer communicating in the dark.

New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve, Maikan'er, this is the real year, there is no intrigue, there is no tendency to inflammatory, there is no deceit, there is no quarrel and suspense, there is no hypocrisy and grievances, and there is no covetousness, this is the real year, staying up with your own time, staying up with your own heart.

Liang Xie suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the pain before, in that pain he at least had a goal, and now he only felt empty and confused, it turned out that confusion itself was also a pain.

Beijing, snowy night.

Like white cloth dotted with gold, the spark shines brightly in the huge capital, exuding a bleak beauty on the night of this Chinese New Year's Eve.

The 'Six Dragons Gang' is even more lively, there are kowtows to press the New Year's money, there are those who drink and brag, and there are those who play cards, the children run around, the guns are fired, and the children are rolling in the snow, the children are always not afraid of the cold, and the children are always not aware of the difficulties.

The 'dragon god' only ordered the guards to take shifts to guard, and did not stop everyone from playing and playing, and he took Yizi to take the opportunity to meet a person, the old man.

Kowtowing, drinking porridge, gossiping, meditating, even in the New Year, the old man is still bland, the 'dragon god' has to take his righteous son to see the old man every New Year, and the old man is always so bland, as if it doesn't matter if he comes or not, but the 'dragon god' knows that the old man is happy at this time.

When ~~~~~ should be ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

The bell of the hour is spread all over the inside and outside of the capital, the firecrackers in the city are in the sky, and the fireworks in the sky are one after another, constantly blooming above the night sky, such as a flower garden in midsummer, such as a blooming fireworks.

Snow, like weaving. Wind, such as hissing.

The bell of the hour with wisps of clear sound resounded throughout the capital and in the hearts of thousands of households.

Palace.

In the main hall, the emperor rubbed the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed, slowly stood up and rubbed his waist and walked out, he was finally busy, he sat for too long, he could hardly stand up. Xu Nianen hurriedly walked to open the door of the hall, and outside the hall, there was a vast expanse, incomparably pure, and extremely beautiful.

"It is said that 'Ruixue is a good year', will the people have a good harvest next year?" The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to ask Xu Nianen, Xu Nianen was stimulated by the cold wind, and his sleepiness went seven or eight minutes, and when he heard the emperor ask, he hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, next year will be a big bumper year." ”

The Emperor nodded and walked along.

"'The feathers are cloudy, and the wind is in the old year. The white clouds cover the jade rabbit, and the black bird covers the morning dan. The sunset hangs the gold seal, and the night rain returns to Beichen. The bells and drums spread to the three realms, and the soldiers set the nine sides. The fireworks are burning, and the snow is showing a thousand faces. Once the red wheel appears, the sun and the moon ...... Bright day. The Emperor laughed heartily and walked to the harem between the chantings, his tone firm and heroic, and his laughter was full of hope and confidence in the future.
