Fan Xiaoxi held a roast duck in each hand and two pots of shochu in his clothes. When he came to the cave door, he poked his head in and saw Chen Hongjing lying in a large tank, asleep. As for the senior, he was eating kiln chicken with his back to the cave.
"What? I can't afford you as a distinguished guest in this house? Or are you afraid that I will beat you up for no reason? Am I such an unreasonable person?" the old man said without looking back.
Fan Xiaoxi walked into the cave with a smile and said with a smile: "Without that, how could Senior Yong be such an unreasonable person? I was afraid that Senior Yong would fall asleep, so I quietly muttered Come in, since Senior Yong is eating, it’s just right, I just brought two roast ducks and two bottles of soju to deliver food to Senior.”
Fan Xiaoxi walked up to the senior and put down what he was holding. Unexpectedly, the senior looked directly at him. Fan Xiaoxi's heart felt a little chilled by the sight of his senior, and he timidly said: "What's wrong? Senior, why are you looking at me like this?"
"You two are brothers, right?" Old Man Yong pointed to the kiln chicken and shochu on the ground, the same two bottles and two bottles.
"Hey, aren't we afraid that you won't have enough to eat? By the way, what's wrong with Hongjing? Are you taking a bath at this hour?" Fan Xiaoxi asked.
Old Man Yong said nothing and pointed to the bottle of wine at his hand. Fan Xiaoxi naturally knew that he picked up a cup, filled it up, said to Old Man Yong that he would drink first as a courtesy, and drank three cups as soon as he started drinking, without giving Old Man Yong a chance to find fault.
Mr. Yong nodded, drank a glass of wine and said: "I am too young to drink. I have to drink. I start with three drinks at a time. I don't listen to any advice. This child is really disobedient."
"Damn it, you old man can't get along with you. It's obviously you who wants me to drink, and you still say I'm disobedient. If it takes a few more years, I'll hang you up sooner or later, and let you try the things that tied me up." Taste. Fuck you, uncle." Chen Hongjing pointed at Old Man Yong and cursed a few times, and then he soaked into the tank.
"Uh, hehehe. Senior Yong, the child is still young, drunk and talking nonsense. I hope you don't take it to heart, senior Yong." Fan Xiaoxi quickly smiled and apologized to Old Man Yong.
"It's okay. If you're used to it, don't talk. You've done a lot of things with your hands." Old Man Yong said this without any hesitation, but Fan Xiaoxi was shocked. No one can figure out this senior's habits, but Chen Hongjing has only been with him for a few days. Not only did he use his words, but he also used his hands? The most important thing is that he can still come back alive. This is the most shocking thing for Fan Xiaoxi.
"It's easier for him to talk when he's asleep. What's wrong? Listening to that little brat's drunken mantra, is there something difficult that you can't handle?" Old Man Yong asked.
Fan Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Hongjing. Although he had sunk to the bottom of the tank, he could still see small bubbles slowly emerging on the surface of the water. He turned back and said to Old Man Yong: "Senior, there is indeed such a patient in this junior's house. I don't know whether he is from the mountain or from the bottom..."
Fan Xiaoxi told the whole story to Old Man Yong. After hearing this, Old Man Yong didn't say anything and continued to eat wine and chicken. Fan Xiaoxi didn't dare to rush, and he didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
"There seems to be no firewood in this big tank. How about you go out and chop some firewood and come back?" Old Man Yong looked at Fan Xiaoxi and asked.
Fan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Hongjing who had just surfaced in the large tank, pointed at Chen Hongjing and said: "Senior, it looks good, Hongjing is still soaking in it."
"Yes, that's right. It's just because he was soaking in it that he had to add firewood. The medicinal materials in it are free of charge. If it gets cold, it won't cure the hangover. Otherwise, why would he be asked to cut firewood?" Yong The old man said slowly.
Fan Xiaoxi didn't dare to refute casually, so he had to go out to chop wood.
"The firewood is here, senior."
"Put it in and burn it. Why do you need to ask me about this kind of thing? Do you need me to teach you how to burn it?" Old Man Yong said with a smile.
"That's not necessary, that's not necessary." Fan Xiaoxi hurriedly threw pieces of wood into the bottom of the vat.
"Hey, that's right. Let me tell you, this little brat is really bad. He insists on drinking it even though he knows he can't drink it. It's a waste of my medicinal materials and he doesn't know that I picked it. How hard it must be.”
"I feel even more sad when talking about this medicinal material. After whoever brews this medicinal material, all the Ren and Du meridians will be opened up, and the blood in the body will flow smoothly. Mountain people can improve by four or five after drinking this medicinal material. In this realm, people in the mountains can prolong their lives by taking a bath. Even an old man in his seventies or eighties can kill several big tigers. After taking a bath and adding real acupuncture, tsk tsk tsk, it can be this." Old man Yong said about the big tigers. Thumb said.
When Old Man Yong said this, Fan Xiaoxi immediately understood and stood up and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? That's right, it's a bath. A bath can not only open up the meridians in the body, but also temporarily suppress the body." The toxins in it. The more important point is that we can choose some qi-tonifying medicinal materials to transmit the true qi when not using acupuncture, so the effect will be better, and Old Master Tang can be more relaxed."
Fan Xiaoxi stood up, bowed solemnly to Old Man Yong, and said, "Student of Licorice Hall and junior of Fan Mansion, Fan Xiaoxi would like to solemnly thank senior for his guidance."
Old Man Yong gave up and sneered: "We haven't succeeded yet, so don't say thank you so quickly. It won't be too late to say thank you after we succeed."
Fan Xiaoxi nodded. If he hadn't been familiar with this senior, he would have gone up and hooked up with him.
"Your uncle, are you unhappy when I say bad things about you and want to burn me to death? Are you adding firewood to your uncle's account?" Chen Hongjing cursed again.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my fault, my fault." Fan Xiaoxi was too excited when he realized it just now. He kept adding firewood while talking, forgetting that Chen Hongjing was still taking a bath in the tank. Old man Yong smiled and continued to discuss medical skills with Fan Xiaoxi for a while.
"Then I will take Chen Hongjing back first, so as not to disturb Senior Yong's rest." Fan Xiaoxi lifted Chen Hongjing out of the vat, but Chen Hongjing was still drunk and was still cursing Old Man Yong in a low voice.
"I'll go with Fatty Fan this time. I'll let you go. I won't let you go next time. Damn it, just wait for me. I'll let you go first this time." Chen Hongjing pointed at Old Man Yong and said , Fan Xiaoxi was so frightened that he quickly blocked Chen Hongjing's mouth.
Old man Yong waved his hand, not caring, and let the two of them go first.
Who knew that Chen Hongjing ran back again, smiled and said to Old Man Yong: "Old Man Yong, from your uncle, Happy New Year!"
As a result, Fan Xiaoxi was arrested again. What new year was it? There were still a few days left before the new year. Old Man Yong smiled and watched the two of them drifting away. Old Man Yong smiled.
——
A few days later, today happens to be New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve. Every household is cleaning their homes, tearing down the old couplets and replacing them with new ones, preparing things, making offerings to the gods, setting off firecrackers, and having New Year's Eve dinner.
In the palace, Zhong Daihan took Li Zhousong to Yintian Palace, and happened to see A Fang and Jiang Zhi posting new Spring Festival couplets. He immediately threw the gift in his hand to Li Zhousong, held it in his hand and blessed: "Oh, Mr. Afang, Mr. Jiang Zhi, happy new year, happy new year!"
Before taking more than one step, Fu Hengze walked out, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Sixth Prince." He took a step forward and blocked Zhong Daihan.
Zhong Daihan said with a smile: "Master Fu, it's a happy New Year. I don't ask any questions. Can I come and have a simple meal?"
"Oh? Isn't it a little inappropriate for someone who is on New Year's Eve to come to have New Year's Eve dinner with me, an old minister, instead of having dinner with my family? If His Majesty finds out, I will be in serious trouble." Fu Hengze said with a smile. .
Zhong Daihan waved his hand and said: "We royal aristocrats do have a lot more than ordinary people, but at the same time we have lost a lot more than ordinary people, such as festivals. In the entire palace, except for the father, who can sing and dance, no one else has to think about it. However, Yin Tian Palace is an exception. Even if Master Fu you get married here in a big way, my father probably won't care about you."
"I just want to be here, like an ordinary person, to have a simple and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Look, I even brought roasted pig and good wine. I don't think Mr. Fu Hengze will shirk me." Bar."
Zhong Daihan waved his hand, and Li Zhousong immediately shouted loudly: "Master Fu, happy New Year, all the best, all your wishes come true. Good luck and good health."
Fu Hengze smiled and said: "Okay, okay, come in and help with the cooking. You young people are making things, while I, an old man, went to play chess and drink tea with the Sixth Prince."
"This is not possible, Mr. Fu. I also want to help them cook. You can do it yourself." Zhong Daihan rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was doing something big.
"Can you add me, Master?" A woman wearing blue clothes jumped down from the eaves. Judging from her appearance, she was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with only a bunch of black hair and a long face. His face, his eyes were like autumn water. Looks a lot like the late queen.
"Seventh sister, when did you come back? You didn't even call out to Brother Wang when you saw him, so you called him master first? After all, the relationship has faded." Zhong Daihan shook his head and said.
This person is none other than the seventh princess of the Dalan Dynasty, Zhong Zixuan.
Zhong Zixuan stepped out quickly, ran to Zhong Daihan, held Zhong Daihan's hand and said with a smile: "Hehehe, I'm here to say hello to you, Brother Wang."
"I'm just teasing you, go ahead and play chess with Mr. Fu. Just leave the cooking to us young men." Zhong Daihan said with a smile, and Zhong Zixuan ran away with a smile.
Zhong Daihan patted the other three grown men on the shoulders and walked towards the kitchen.
——
"Left, left. Stick it better, oh, no, it's crooked again, crooked again. A little to the right, a little to the right. Oh, yes, yes, right, right here. Stick it." Aqiang directed Yu Shou to stick up the Spring Festival couplets, Huang Yixiao was there They were cleaning inside, while Liu Banxian was leaning aside, waiting for them to set off firecrackers after they were done.
"Hurry up, we have an appointment with Mr. Su for dinner, hurry up, hurry up." Aqiang urged impatiently.
As a result, Huang Yixiao sneak-attacked him with a towel, threw it in Aqiang's face, and said loudly: "You are the only one who has a lot of trouble. You only know how to give orders, but you don't know how to help? Do you know that one more person can do a lot more things?" ”
Aqiang quickly picked up the broom and pretended to be sweeping the floor. He said aggrievedly, "Isn't everyone sweeping the floor?"
Huang Yixiao didn't want to talk anymore. He was tired, so let's leave it at that.
After a while, several people finally cleaned up Pinyu's study. Aqiang put his hands on his hips and laughed. Yes, this is all due to me, Aqiang.
Liu Banxian hung up the firecrackers, held a lit straw, and said loudly: "Here we go, set off the firecrackers, everyone, cover your ears!"
Set off firecrackers! Crackling, crackling, crackling...
"Dad, Mom, are you done? I've done it here. When will you go to the study to have dinner with the Master?" Liang Siheng asked.
"Come on, come on, we're done. Your mother still needs to dress up, and then we can set off." Liang Siheng's father said while holding the gift.
"Brother, let's go too." Zhong Xiaofan asked his elder brother.
"Let's go, let's go. You ladies must have been waiting for a long time." Zhong Heling said. Seeing Zhong Xiaofan suddenly stop, he asked him what was wrong.
"Brother, sister-in-law, won't you come with us?" Zhong Xiaofan asked.
Zhong He couldn't get enough energy and punched Zhong Xiaofan on the head: "You brat, leave quickly."
——
Chen Hongjing stood in front of the dormitory door, looking at the Spring Festival couplets he posted, and felt very satisfied. The house in his hometown had also been replaced with new ones by his wife. Many people in the school went back to have New Year's Eve dinner, and Fan Xiaoxi also went back to his own mansion to have New Year's Eve dinner. Fan Xiaoxi originally wanted to invite Chen Hongjing to his home for dinner, but Chen Hongjing refused because he already had a place in mind for the New Year's Eve dinner.
On the mountain, an old man was sitting idle outside the cave. Suddenly he saw someone calling him. He looked towards the voice and saw a child carrying two chickens, a big bag on his back, and two bottles of wine wrapped in his clothes. Yoho, why is this little brat here?
"What are you doing here?" Old Man Yong said impatiently.
Chen Hongjing fiddled with his things and said, "Let me have New Year's Eve dinner with you. You are a lonely old man and I am also a lonely child. If we have New Year's Eve dinner together, we won't be lonely."
The old man sneered: "You brat, do you need my help?"
Chen Hongjing quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no. I haven't thanked you for the favor last time, and I haven't apologized to you for talking nonsense while drunk. This time, just sit down and drink. , just wait and eat.”
Soon, Spring Festival couplets were posted in the cave and two red lanterns were hung. However, Old Man Yong punched him twice and asked him to take down the red lanterns. If people on other mountains saw it, they would definitely be shocked. Jump, for the Chinese New Year. Chen Hongjing was not angry and quickly took down the lantern to avoid scaring others.
Old man Yong took out a red envelope from his clothes, which was made by dismantling a lantern. He handed it to Chen Hongjing, who thanked him and accepted the red envelope. Chen Hongjing also handed the newly cooked kiln chicken to Old Man Yong.
"Look, fireworks!" Chen Hongjing patted Old Man Yong's elbow.
"I knew it a long time ago, otherwise why would I be sitting at the entrance of the cave? Are you so busy? Isn't it cold? Little brat, I'm giving you an advantage. This place is the best place to watch fireworks." Old Man Yong said with a smile. .
An old man and a young man each held a chicken and looked at the fireworks outside. In the new year, bid farewell to the old year, with peace and joy, and everything you want.
