Xiaoqing took a scent of incense in her hand, carefully touched the fireworks, and then covered her ears and ran away quickly. The twisted thread burned rapidly. Within a while, a colorful butterfly rose into the air, rose into the air, and slowly dissipated.

"Flying to the sky! Flying to the sky!" Xiaoqing watched the butterfly dissipated in the air and stomped her feet happily.

Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang sat upright behind the table, watching Xiaoqing and two followers standing in the yard, lighting fireworks from time to time, and then lighting firecrackers, laughing and screaming happily.

Qu Wuniang put Xiangyang fruits, vegetables and vegetables on the table and saluted: "Madam, it's late at night, let's rest with some wine and vegetables."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Han Yueniang and said, "Tonight's New Year's Eve, it should be the New Year's Eve. I remember that when I was at home, I had to take good wine and vegetables to worship my ancestors before we could enjoy it. Now that my parents are not here, we don't know these rules. What do you think should I do?"

Han Yueniang pouted and said with some complaints: "I asked my parents to come and celebrate the New Year with us, but they said that the family business is indispensable for a day, so they actually refused. No one taught us these things, so who knows!"

After saying that, he looked at Qu Wuniang with his eyes and looked at her to give some advice.

Qu Wuniang sighed: "Madam, you are officials and your rules are different from us. We families all rely on serving our guests to make some money to live. How dare you talk about the rules of the New Year here?"

Han Yueniang glared at Du Zhongxiao, her face looked a little bad. Both of them were from small families, and it was a rare thing to have a meal during the New Year. Making new clothes was a rare thing. How could I know what else to do? The New Year rules Du Zhongxiao remembered in his previous life were mostly formed in later generations. At this time, it would only make people laugh at me, so I had to sit upright and pretend that I didn't see Han Yueniang's eyes.

After setting off a few firecrackers, Xiaoqing entered the house from outside, stomped her feet and shook the snowflakes, rubbed her red face and said, "This year is so lively! I was just playing, and I was a little hungry-"

Qu Wuniang secretly glared at Xiaoqing and signaled her not to talk nonsense. The two of them are now Du Zhongxiao's family prostitutes, so it would be fine to treat them well. In this kind of Chinese New Year and Festival occasion, if they are not good, they will make any taboos.

If Du Zhongxiao knew what taboos there were during the Chinese New Year, he wouldn't be so worried. He and Han Yueniang were not twenty years old. In the past, they were all arranged by their parents during the holidays, and neither of them knew what rules were. Originally, Du Zhongxiao's current identity should have brought his parents by his side, rather than the young couple who are now traveling outside. Eating their salary to support their parents, why do they make money by being an official? They were originally spent on their parents. But Du Xun and Han Lian and his wife were both greedy for the rights to sell alcohol in the three states in recent years and were busy doing business to make money. Who would be willing to follow the couple to throw away their families and leave their homes?

Looking at Xiaoqing's excited look, Du Zhongxiao coughed and said, "On New Year's Eve, eat the scoop to stay up to the New Year. The scoop, homophonic to Jiaozi, means the change of new and old. I'll eat it tonight and ask for a good idea. If you have nothing to do, you can just pack some scoops and prepare for a while to eat."

Han Yueniang muttered in a low voice: "I haven't heard of any family who wants to eat those things during the Chinese New Year!" After that, he said to Xiaoqing: "There is nothing to do, you and Wuniang will wrap some sticks and roast them for a while, and see that your face is red from the cold! Others, please pay attention to your money and spend money, be lively, stay honestly at home!"

Chai Xin and a few followers shouted, and then gathered next to the door of the house, forming a circle, and took out a few gambling tools. The court has always ruled that gambles for three days during the Chinese New Year, not to mention the folk, the empress, concubines and palace maids in the palace were all gambling. Du Zhongxiao was usually strict, but these people were already itchy, and they had already brought the gambling tools tonight. At this time, they took them out and shouted that they were so selfless that they were betting.

Xiaoqing and Qu Wuniang watched it and wanted to join in the fun, but Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang watched it aside. After all, they didn't dare to honestly mix the noodles and make dumplings. This was the only New Year custom that Du Zhongxiao brought from his previous life. Because there was no such thing in this era, Han Yueniang was suspected of him and was always suspicious. The method of wrapping was taught long ago, and it was slightly different from this era. Qu Wuniang and Xiaoqing had learned it long ago.

Seeing Chai Xin and several followers shouting and completely forgot about his existence, Du Zhongxiao sighed in his heart. As the New Year’s customs a thousand years ago, he remembered eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala. Now, as the head of the family, he didn’t know how to arrange it.

Chai Xin was very lucky tonight and won a few wins. He said to Du Zhongxiao, who was sitting behind the table: "Tonight, everyone is happy together. The officials are fine, so they come to throw two. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, just for fun!"

Han Yueniang glanced at Du Zhongxiao and said in a deep voice: "You dare to go gamble!"

Du Zhongxiao spread his hands: "At this time, even the officials have to gamble with their ministers to drink and play, so what's the matter? We can't sit here and watch the rest of the family play. Yue Niang, Nian cannot live like this!"

Han Yueniang turned her face away, and didn't look at Du Zhongxiao, nor did she know what she was thinking.

Du Zhongxiao looked at the snowflakes falling from time to time outside, and was a little bored. Han Yueniang was good at everything, but she was born in a small family and had a strict family management. Du Zhongxiao could do anything, but she was not allowed to be gambling, even if she was just having fun. In Han Yueniang's words, this is called preventing the problem. Du Zhongxiao could not refute such things, so she could only listen to Han Yueniang. But in this year, she was not allowed to be gambling and enjoying her feelings, and there was still time to find a game to post.

After sitting for a while, Han Yueniang couldn't hold back and ordered the person next to her: "Go and cook some mutton, eat two glasses of wine to relieve boredom. I have a few old copper coins in my box for New Year's Eve. I took them to throw money from Dalang and I, and who lost and who drank."

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao let out a sigh: "Thank God, Madam, I always have to find some things to sit. We sit here without any trouble. We are embarrassed and the rest of the family are not having fun. Where does it look like the New Year? Okay, throw money and drink when you drink!"

Chai Xin won another handful and smiled and collected the copper coins on the ground. Seeing Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang were funny, he said, "Officials, madam, how much does it mean to bet on drinking? Why don't you throw a few handfuls of copper coins to have fun. Just think of the New Year's money for us, the official's win is ours, and the husband I win is Wu Niang and Xiaoqing, wouldn't that be nice!"

Han Yueniang glared at Chai Xin and said, "I have prepared the New Year's money for you, how can you lose it? Do you want to ask for more of this now? - Forget it, you have worked hard this year, so it's time to give more money. Go and get ten cents of money quickly, and I'll bet with the official! Well, if the official loses, you don't blame me!"

Chai Xin and several followers laughed and said, "All ladies are in charge, don't complain, don't complain!"

Han Yueniang is in charge of money at home. This is clear. Even if she loses, she will have to make up for the money for Qu Wuniang and Xiaoqing in the future, which is a bit of a trick. Chai Xin and others have extra money anyway, so they don’t care about these things. They just want to have fun tonight.

Xiaoqing washed her hands, took a few fine copper coins from the box that Han Yueniang had hidden, and ran over to hand them over.

Du Zhongxiao took the money in his hand, imitated Chai Xin's appearance, blew a breath into his hand, and said, "Kill all the characters, let's fight!"
