The Spring Festival is fireworks, firecrackers, New Year’s Eve dinner, and family reunion. It is a festival that every Chinese cannot miss.
During the Spring Festival, on New Year's Eve, everyone gives gifts to each other, which is commonly known as "giving gifts to the new year"; the young and old get together to celebrate and complete the blessings, which is commonly known as "dividing the new year"; and staying up all year long to wait for the dawn, commonly known as "keeping the year old".
The day of staying up late is the warmest and warmest day of the year.
This year's Qinghe Residence, no, it should be called Wangnan Residence. Although the owner has changed, the atmosphere is even more lively in comparison.
Li Erniu, Huangfu Lu, Wang Sanbao, Qiao Miaoqing, and Ying Cheng met with their father and mother in the inner courtyard of Wangnanju, together with Liu Quansheng and his son, Lao Yangqi's family of three, and two bachelors, Xia Qing and Deng Yan, the two Twelve people set up four large tables, which were barely full, which made the hosts Liu Quansheng and Liu Yi very busy.
On the day of their thirtieth, before midnight, Liu Quansheng and Liu Yi started busy. The father and son removed the tables and chairs in the living room, placed four large round tables with a diameter of two feet, covered them with red cloth, and arranged melons and fruits. , candy, beaming with joy.
At noon, two families, Li Erniu and Huangfu Lu, walked out of their respective houses to help the cooks, carrying six large basins full of pork chops, lamb chops, and steaks that had been stewed in water until they were almost off the bone.
Wang Sanbao's family was busy pasting up couplets, hanging lanterns and making couplets inside and outside.
Ying Cheng's family brought eight jars of good wine and packed lightly for the appointment.
Seeing the arrival of the county guard, everyone hurriedly saluted. Ying Zhi joked about "having fun with the people" and rolled up their sleeves to help. When the women saw this, they drove the men out of the kitchen. The men came In the inner courtyard, the teenagers were driven out of the inner courtyard again.
The teenagers who were driven out of the inner courtyard were like kites that had lost their strings and began to act wildly.
But seeing Liu Yi taking the "four little ones" and Qiao Miaoqing, they took apart the hanging whip, divided it into small branches, lit the incense, and started crackling in the outer courtyard. The men in the inner courtyard were thinking about it. While chatting about farm work, I was "frightened" by the loud noises in the outer courtyard. I didn't even talk for a few words before the conversation became dull, so I had to scatter around and do some trivial tasks within my ability.
Sai Beili knew nothing about housework, so he simply came to the outer courtyard and gave each boy a fine steel dagger as a New Year's gift. Li Erniu quietly asked the leader of the Tiger Rebuking Gang if he could exchange the fine steel dagger for a machete. Or Fang Tian painted a halberd, Ying Cheng also thought carefully and begged Sai Beili to get him a good sword. I am happy today, and Sai Beili agreed wholeheartedly.
The two teenagers were immediately delighted.
Even Li Erniu never thought that afterwards, Saibeili actually gave Li Erniu a fine steel spurge. And thirty years later, Li Erniu took the Red Sky Running Thunder Halberd presented by Saibeili. Help Liu Yi sweep the world in one fell swoop.
Of course, Saibeili also gave Liu Yi a great gift, bringing five groups of fifteen tiger-repelling warriors to listen to Liu Yi's orders. You must know that before this, the tiger-repelling guards who accompanied Liu Yi, But they all obeyed Qiao Miaoqing's orders. Sai Beili's move undoubtedly gave the Disciple Disciple Distribution right to the Twelve Dead Men of the Tiger Clan, which was equivalent to recognizing Liu Yi's status.
This actually flattered Liu Yi.
...
After the unification of the Han Dynasty, in order to restore the country's power as soon as possible, Fei Yi, the prime minister who succeeded Zhuge Liang, followed the Qin Dynasty system, which stipulated that men should marry at the age of twenty and women should marry at the age of fifteen. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished.
Qiao Miaoqing was born with a free and uninhibited personality, and she also regarded herself as a noble person, so that at the age of sixteen, she had not yet found the man she liked. Therefore, since last year, Saibei Li paid a fine of 600 baht every quarter for Qiao Miaoqing, scolding the tiger for helping everyone achieve great things. Naturally, I don't care about this little dried fish.
But that's not what happened. The dignified leader of the Huhu Gang was worried about this girl's marriage, but he had no choice but to lament in the end, "It's unfortunate for our family!"
Marriage is the beginning of human relations and the foundation of royal religion. Saint kings attach great importance to it, so they take the lead among the common people and influence the world.
In ancient times, men and women started their business early, and their minds and emotions were extremely mature. Although the boys and girls surrounding Liu Yi had different circumstances, they were all mature in mind. Setting off firecrackers, a thing that the ten-year-old Huang Tao played, naturally could not attract the attention of Liu Yi. They were so interested that after playing for a while, they felt it was boring.
Qiao Miaoqing seemed to want to show off her strength. With an otherworldly face, she shamelessly wanted to make friends with Li Erniu and Ying Cheng through martial arts. The result was self-evident. The two of them didn't even get out of the house after five moves. Forgive me.
A few people became boring again.
A ray of cold wind blew by, and Liu Yi suddenly had a thought. He gathered five people in a room in the outer courtyard and decided to use this opportunity to hold a small meeting.
The five people gathered together listlessly. Liu Yi suppressed his excitement before suppressing the atmosphere, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, Yi and you are drinking together in Wangnan Tower, and we will meet each other on Qingyun Road. As the saying goes, One hero has three gangs, the road ahead is dangerous and the future is uncertain, so you all need to be prepared to live and die together!"
Ying Cheng, who was outspoken and outspoken, was the first to speak, "Brother, what are you talking about? Except for Miss Qiao, our brothers all grew up together wearing crotchless pants, traveling to Chongchong in Shushan Mountain, and exploring the boundless sea of righteousness. We should be together in life and death in this life. No regrets.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Cheng received a flying kick from Qiao Miaoqing, and his head was stuck into the snow.
Qiao Miaoqing heard the implication, looked sulky, and said angrily, "Yingcheng, don't talk nonsense here. Although the uncle joined the gang not long ago, I know the rules in this mountain top. Jianghu people are the most loyal, and he will go to court." If something happens, do you think I am a person who gives up halfway and lives an ignoble existence?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Qiao misunderstood. What Ying Cheng said was that we were both wearing crotchless pants, but he didn't mean to belittle the girl's loyalty at all. The mountains are dangerous, so didn't Miss Qiao also come here to fight? What does this prove? This proves Our Uncle Qiao is righteous! It proves that our Gang Leader Qiao has a successor!"
Wang Sanbao hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, Ying Cheng nodded hurriedly, and Qiao Miaoqing lost some of her anger.
In this situation, Saibeili and Yangliu, who were sitting far away, suppressed their smiles.
Liu Yi looked embarrassed, "The friendship between the mountains and seas between brothers and me will always be in my heart. Although the Pingtian incident is a good policy to benefit the people, the predators in the world and the local big families will take turns to make things difficult. Our wings are thin, like a hurricane One leaf may lead to countless lives and deaths. If you brothers want to live a peaceful life, you can find your own way out after today. Yi will never stop you. However, if you pass the Lingyuan Mountains after the festival, I hope that brothers will put aside their distracting thoughts and work hard. Help. After all, at a time of life and death, no one wants to be held back by their own robe."
Liu Yi's words have made it very clear that he has said ugly things ahead of him, and now it is too late to quit because of fear of death. Once he embarks on the dangerous and dangerous road to Pingtian, it will not be so easy to protect himself wisely.
Huangfu Lu immediately understood what Liu Yi meant.
"Brother, we are like-minded and have no regrets. We have already done this, why are you talking about this!" Huangfu Lu is still slender and slender, but his words are sonorous, "I, Huangfu Lu, can only follow my lead!"
"That is, children of Jianghu, morality and justice come first. Once you have made a promise, you must fulfill it. Boss Liu, you are a little out of touch when you say these things!"
Unknowingly, Qiao Miaoqing also added the word "boss" to Liu Yi.
"Okay! The father and son are in harmony with each other, and the brothers and their families are inseparable. Since we are gathered together in the Nanlou Tower, with one heart and one mind, I will assign some tasks." Liu Yi was overjoyed and paused deliberately. Focusing everyone's attention together, he said in a deep voice, "After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Huangfu will take charge of Wangnanju and Wangnanlou and provide logistical support. What you have to do is to make more money to support the soldiers who follow Pingtian." We have no worries."
Huangfu Lu nodded deeply and said, "At home, Mr. Da, Boss Xia, and County Sheriff You are here to support me. Brother, just don't worry."
Liu Yi nodded and said to Wang Sanbao, "Wang Sanbao has an official position and is good at assisting."
Wang Sanbao, who had always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, shook his head happily when he heard that Liu Yi had arranged a casual position for him, and nodded in agreement.
Liu Yi smiled warmly at Wang Sanbao, turned to the remaining three people and said, "Er Niu, Miao Qing, and Ying Cheng, the three of you will follow me north. Er Niu will be by my side to control the march, and Miao Qing and Wang Dali will be in charge." After the road is opened, Yingcheng and his uncle conduct a flank reconnaissance."
This time, the five of them put away their idleness, stood up together and held hands, with firm eyes, "No!"
Liu Yi stood up in a hurry, caressed everyone, and then grabbed the sleeves of Li Erniu and Qiao Miaoqing, saying with great boldness, "Let's go make dumplings!"
Sai Beili and Yang Liu looked at each other.
It is not easy for Liu Yi, a young man, to win people's hearts with just a few words!
...
The snow is heavy and flying geese are flying, soaring into the sky. It is a good fortune in the Year of the Tiger.
In the midst of everyone's joy, unknowingly, it was almost midnight, and the streets and alleys of Lingyuan City were filled with Chinese flags fluttering, firecrackers blasting, fireworks piercing the sky, and ritual music playing cheerfully. This year was particularly lively, and the entire Lingyuan City Caught in a state of joy.
Looking at Nanjuli, the four large tables covered with lanterns and colored red cloth were already full of people. Except for six young people sitting at a table alone, the rest of the people mingled together regardless of their superiority. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Each table has eight meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes are braised pork, braised pork ribs, garlic lamb chops, sweet and sour koi, charcoal grilled pig trotters, beef soup, boneless chicken and steamed venison. The vegetarian dishes are scrambled eggs with leeks. , salted broad beans, cucumbers and mallow, all available in color, flavor and flavor.
The moment the lid of the Eight Tan Du Kang is opened, the strong smell of the New Year can be regarded as the real arrival.
The teenagers stared at the delicious food on the table and drooled one after another. However, the elders did not speak and could only sit there and watch helplessly.
After some New Year's greetings, toasts, and toasts to each other, the whole family began to feast on the people they met by chance. The eating habits of the group of teenagers seemed to be "full of evil and heinous crimes."
Ying Zhi looked at the group of teenagers and couldn't help but sigh to Liu Quansheng sitting next to him, "Time flies by like a fleeting moment. In the blink of an eye, the world is no longer ours."
Liu Quansheng drank the wine in his glass and said meaningfully, "The world is ours and theirs, but in the final analysis, it is theirs!"
Ying Zhi thought for a moment and suddenly laughed loudly. Two people who had known each other twenty years ago bumped into each other at the wine table for the first time!
Some people died, but not completely...
