Chapter 56: Wudang New Year
Xiao Han stood up, Tian Chengzhi also stood up, and the others were still crooked to the side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xiao Han waved his hand to signal them to be casual, and then took Tian Chengzhi out of the house, and the wind and snow immediately rolled the two together. The two came to the gate holding hands, and Tian Chengzhi stepped forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the wind and snow outside the door took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the two of them were full of pain. Xiao Han snorted and squinted his eyes to look out. I saw a big black head poking out of the door, and the hot air almost sprayed in his face. Xiao Han saw that the head was long and big, and he screamed, took two steps back, and shouted, "Monster." Tian Chengzhi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately pulled out the waist knife he was carrying and was about to rush forward.
Suddenly, I heard a delicate voice outside the door and said loudly: "Master, it's us." Then he saw two white shadows turn out from behind the black head. Tian Chengzhi glared, and immediately turned around and said, "The head of the house, it's Lord Ye and Master Hao. ”
Xiao Han had already seen that the black head was a donkey's head at this time, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to the two snow-white jades: "I almost scared the head of this family to death, the sky is full of wind and snow, why don't you stay in Qingyang until the snow stops and then come back?" ”
These two losers, who don't know how to save money with a little money, actually bought donkeys. However, thinking that Ye Zixuan is the master of Xuanwu Hall, she naturally has her plans, and with a donkey, it is much easier to travel. Xiao Han saw that the donkey was carrying a large bag of things, which should be the banners of the sect and the clothes of each hall. Tian Chengzhi helped them into the courtyard together, drove the donkey to the firewood room where the sundries were piled up, and unloaded the parcels on it.
Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei knocked the snowflakes off their bodies and went back to the house to change their wet clothes. Tian Chengzhi was very interested, and asked Ye Fei to help him cook for the two hall masters. Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei opened the package, and Xiao Han saw the cyan flag at a glance. He leaned over to pick it up, and Ye Zixuan hurriedly stretched it out with him. Xiao Han saw that it was completely made according to his own design, majestic and domineering, the word Wudang was embroidered with gold characters, the golden light was dazzling, and the yin and yang Taiji pattern gave people a strong impact.
Xiao Han called Ye Qingshu over and ordered him to carry the package to the main hall. When the crowd heard that the clothes were ready, they quickly gathered around. Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei distributed the clothes of each hall in turn, first the green shirts of Qinglongtang, and actually made eight sets at once, two sets in spring, summer, autumn and winter, this girl is really thoughtful, but it costs too much.
There is only Li Yuexuan in Qinglong Hall at present, he took eight sets of clothes, and his face changed with joy, and the people in their thirties couldn't hold it back, so they immediately ran back to the house with their clothes and changed one set back. Li Yuexuan was already handsome, but at this time, he changed into the exquisite uniform made by Shu Jin, and his demeanor was so graceful that everyone was stunned. Xiao Han was a little jealous in his heart, if he wasn't younger than him, he would have to find an opportunity to stab him in the face a few times.
The other people couldn't wait, a total of more than a dozen people shouted into a mess, but the two girls who were sharing the clothes were busy sweating. After a while, the clothes were divided, and the disciples went back to the house to change into them, and then returned to the main hall. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and makeup, and Buddha relies on gold makeup. This change, the new Wudang faction is like being reborn, as soon as this new uniform is worn, and when you go there, your spirit will naturally come out.
Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei were wearing a black Shu brocade robe, in addition to the Wudang Taiji pattern on the chest, they also embroidered the two small characters "Wudang" with white silk money on the left chest. Xu is that they don't like to wear black, and this set of clothes is actually decorated with a lot of pale pink plum blossoms, black and white, quite charming and moving, and the delicate figures of the two are just right. The disciples looked at them blankly, and even everything couldn't help but praise them, making them so ashamed that their faces were red to the base of their necks.
The whole afternoon was spent in the excitement of the crowd, and in the evening, after dinner, everyone naturally gathered in the main hall. The snow was still falling outside, but the wind was a little lighter. Fourteen people gathered in the house, lit firewood, and listened to Xiao Handong and Xixi. The gang has nothing to do now, so it has to be. We talked until midnight before we went to sleep.
On the second day, when the snow stopped, the disciples swept the snow in the courtyard first, and then practiced and did things under the leadership of the hall masters. Xiao Han naturally went back to memorize his cheats and study the map.
The days passed slowly in this ordinary way, and on this day, suddenly a few villagers knocked on the door with a few hares, saying that they were sending New Year's goods with Xiao Han. Xiao Han received them himself, and bought the hare for much more than that. These villagers originally thought that Xiao Han was just staying here, but they didn't care about it at first. After a long time, I realized that although there were only a dozen of them, they were quite generous in buying food every day. Only then did I realize that these people should not be underestimated, and since then, they have come here to sell good things. In addition, Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei don't understand the world, they have good hearts, and every time they buy things are more expensive than those on the market, so spread, the villagers praised them in unison, and the villagers in other villages heard about this, and they also sold the fresh vegetables and fruits hidden in the cellar at home, so that these rude men who hid deep at the bottom of the valley were appetizing.
Seeing off the villagers, Xiao Han asked about the day, and Ye Zixuan smiled and told him that today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in seven days. Xiao Han thought about it for a while, in order to expand the influence of the Wudang faction, although he is now renting at the foot of the mountain, it is his first New Year in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he must be magnificent, and the scenery is beautiful. Xiao Han has lived here for many days, and he already knows that there are fifty or sixty villagers in the village, large and small, two or three hundred people. The village is not large, but it guards the mountain pass, and it is the only way to and from Momofukuan.
Xiao Han thought for a moment, and immediately ordered Ye Zixuan to ride a donkey to QY County again, and made 500 colored flags, each with the word "Wudang" written on each side. and asked Hao Yufei to exchange the gold ingots for three hundred taels of silver. He also ordered Tian Chengzhi and Ye Zixuan to go into the city and bought five or six carts of New Year's goods, ranging from chickens, ducks, and fish to flowers, candles, paper foils, needles, threads, and brains.
The whole faction knew that the New Year was coming, and everyone was very excited. Although the four halls are now established, they are all bare-bones commanders except for everything, so most of the chores have to be done by the hall master and helmsman. Everyone sprinkled and cleaned the courtyard, Xiao Han personally wrote a couplet and pasted it on both sides of the main hall, and everyone looked at his crooked brush words, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Xiao Han read it twice, and he was also a little embarrassed, the writing was so bad that he had to tear it up with his own hands.
On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Han first ordered Li Yuexuan and Ye Tianjie to escort a cart of New Year's goods to Baifu Nunnery. He wanted to send it in person, and by the way, he took a look at the beautiful little nun, but then he thought that he would see Hui An's stinky face again, and maybe he would see the aggressive Hui Ning Shitai, so he immediately dispelled the idea.
Li Yuexuan and Ye Tianjie walked for less than half a day, and then came back with the car, saying that they didn't want it. Xiao Han didn't expect these nuns to be so faceless, he thought that they had saved his life, and Jingxin Xiaoni even saved himself twice, holding the heart of repaying the favor and expressing gratitude through the New Year. Since people don't want it, they have to do it.
Then Xiao Han woke up to what he had done wrong, Baifu'an was one of the Jiuhua factions, Xiao Han insisted on building a gang here with the help of Li Yueying, which had already annoyed the factions, and they naturally wouldn't want anything from him.
After Xiao Han smiled bitterly, he ordered the hall master and the helmsman to divide the New Year's goods into small portions and send them to all the people in the village in four ways. At this time, the entire mountain village was a sensation, and every household welcomed the disciples of the Wudang Sect like the New Year. Xiao Han invested in the capital this time, and everyone in the village, regardless of age, sent a New Year's gift. The New Year's goods include half a chicken, a fish, half a duck, a pound of meat, a pound of sugar, a pound of salt, a pound of oil, a pound of vinegar, ten pounds of Chinese cabbage, and each household will receive a pack of candles, a bag of incense, a pack of needlework, and each person will send five coins of silver.
Ye Zixuan looked at him very unkindly, his eyes were very dissatisfied, he thought that the money was spent too much, according to her meaning, each household should send five dollars of silver. Xiao Han didn't explain, anyway, he didn't live here after the Chinese New Year, and now he has money in his hand, why don't he use it to buy a good reputation first? Money is a bastard, let's make it if it's gone. With the jade finger that Li Yueying gave him, are you afraid that no one will give money?
The villagers are boiling, they have lived under the Beauty Peak for hundreds of years since ancient times, and they have never seen such a generous person. After receiving the New Year's goods, nearly 300 men and women in the village came to the compound rented by Xiao Han to express their gratitude. Xiao Han personally came forward to receive him, and the spring breeze was full of faces. The villagers looked at the neatly dressed disciples of the Wudang Sect, their eyes were full of envy, and some people quietly pulled them to ask if they could join the Wudang Sect.
Xiao Han looked at the crowd that came and went one by one, and was very satisfied with the effect of his publicity. Because when each villager went back, Xiao Han gave them two or three small green flags, and let them insert them on the roof of their homes or the highest part of the courtyard wall on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After sending the New Year's goods, of course, there are still a lot of leftovers at home, so Ye Zixuan will improve the food with kindness, and the fish and meat will be big every day. Xiao Han also taught her how to make hot pot, so she and Hao Yufei tried every way to make all kinds of hot pot every night, and everyone enjoyed eating. Xiao Han remembered the kebabs of later generations, so he taught her, this girl was born as a chef, and soon baked golden buttery mutton skewers, except that there was no cumin used for seasoning, it seemed a little muttony, and the taste was really good. Ye Fei once ate thirty-seven skewers in one meal, you must know that Ye Zixuan cut the meat so much that he almost killed him. Even after everything was finished, he was full of praise, and Ye Zixuan's eyes lit up with joy.
She and Hao Yufei are the youngest, since Xiao Han was established as the master of Xuanwu Hall, coupled with her own efforts, everyone unconsciously has a sense of dependence on her, and the little girl's authority has gradually been established. Sometimes Xiao Han feels that his power to control materials will one day be hollowed out by her, but this little girl is too smart, which makes him feel more and more inseparable from him for a day.
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and everyone in the gang first had a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then gathered in the hall to talk and laugh. Because of the constraints of the three disciplines and eight attentions, coupled with the presence of everything, these men will not gamble and play cards, but just tell some interesting anecdotes and anecdotes of their predecessors. Xiao Han got together with them and felt very warm. kept talking and laughing until midnight, and suddenly heard the sound of "banging" outside the house, everyone jumped up together and rushed to the courtyard, but saw Tian Chengzhi and Ye Fei two boys were throwing a few hollow bamboo tubes into the burning fire, the hollow bamboo tubes were heated in the fire, the air inside expanded, and the bamboo tubes burst with a loud sound, just like firecrackers.
Several young disciples couldn't help it, and rushed up to play together, and even Xiao Han went up and put two of them, and almost burned the corners of his clothes by the fire, which made everyone laugh. Seeing that midnight had passed, except for Ye Fei and Ye Qingshu who were still on duty, the rest of the people went back to the house to rest.
Xiao Han stayed alone in the courtyard, looked up at the starry sky, took a long breath of clear air, slowly exhaled out, and said to himself: "The new year is coming." ”
