Chapter 24 Chinese New Year
Fireworks soared into the sky in the darkness, only for that moment of brilliance, illuminating people's amazed faces, and then turned into smoke and flew away. Since it was not the time to set off fireworks, they seemed a bit lonely.
The fireworks are brilliant and only last for a moment, that's all.
Yu Xuanji held Sun'er's hand and stood in the courtyard to watch. After this night, it was another year. After looking at it for a while, there were only a few Sun'er, which made Sun'er a little disappointed.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers began to go off, first in a few houses, and then throughout the city. Only this small Taoist temple remained quiet, as if there was no feeling at all.
"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door.
Yu Xuanji frowned, could someone come to tell fortunes at this time? Sun'er clapped her little hands and said happily: "I know who it is." After that, she ran all the way to open the door.
A large number of New Year's goods blocked the door. Xu Xian poked his head out from behind and smiled at Yu Xuanji.
Yu Xuanji didn't know why, but looking at Xu Xian's silly look, he wanted to laugh, so he laughed. At that moment, it was like a tree full of apricot blossoms falling.
The three of them sat together and made dumplings.
Yu Xuanji asked: "Don't you have to stay at home tonight?"
"Sister, my brother-in-law is with me, so it's unnecessary for me to stay here." Xu Xian answered and took out another dumpling. Xu Xian would feel guilty if the two masters and apprentices were allowed to eat Yu Xuanji's big pot dish again during the New Year.
I came over after having dinner early at home.
Zhu'er picked up a fish-shaped dumpling and said, "Master, look, I made this." There was still flour on her face, and she looked cute and cute.
Yu Xuanji wiped the flour off her face and said, "Master is here to help, too." With her joining, the speed has indeed become much faster. Although she has no talent in cooking, she is a first-class pastry chef.
Wrapping dumplings and telling jokes, Xu Xian teased Sun'er from time to time. Sun'er complained to the master aggrievedly. Yu Xuanji's apricot eyes widened, and Xu Xian immediately complained. This senior sister has recently drawn a lot of amulets, specially used to deal with herself.
A couplet was pasted on the bare door, but not the door gods, because Yu Xuanji said that he could summon heavenly soldiers and generals of this level with just one talisman. In the end, Sun'er wrote the paper and spent two door gods on the red paper.
, one is herself and the other is Xu Xian. They said they would protect the master together.
Sun'er opened the red envelope given by Xu Xian and found only one tael of silver. She complained loudly that the master was too stingy, but the master was generous and gave her a tael of silver! As a result, Xu Xian snatched all the red envelope from her when she wasn't paying attention, but Sun'er was beaten by Sun.
The son chased her all over the courtyard.
When eating dumplings, Yu Xuanji accurately took out a dumpling from Xu Xian's bowl and gave it to Sun'er. Sure enough, there were coins wrapped in it! Xu Xian shouted loudly and insisted on getting back a penny that belonged to him. Of course Sun'er wouldn't give it to him, but returned it.
Extremely proud.
Most of the time, Xu Xian and Sun'er were fighting, while Yu Xuanji just watched quietly, with a faint warmth in his heart. But when Xu Xian said, "It's time for me to go back!", he felt a little reluctant.
"If I don't go back to watch the New Year's Eve, my sister will chop me up. The firecrackers are ready. Sun'er is responsible for setting them off, but don't blow yourself up. I've cooked a lot of food, so I'll just heat it up tomorrow." Xu Xian explained as he walked away.
With.
Yu Xuanji just smiled faintly, but Sun'er had a look of reluctance.
The door of the Taoist temple was closed behind him. Xu Xian turned around and saw that one side of the door was covered with bamboo shoots and the other was close to himself. However, he had a pig's nose on his face. Xu Xian shook his head and smiled.
It was getting late, and the snow reflected the white sky. Xu Xian took a deep breath of the cold air, which was refreshing. Just as he was about to walk back, the door behind him opened with a creak, and Zhu'er trotted out and placed a warm copper coin on Xu Xian's face.
In the palm of his hand, he said, "Thank you, uncle, master. I'm so happy today!"
Xu Xian touched her face and said, "You're so good. Uncle Master will take you to see the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, okay?"
Sun Er was a little unhappy and turned her face away, not letting Xu Xian touch her. When she heard that she could go to the lantern festival, she happily agreed. Xu Xian, the evil uncle, took the opportunity to indulge in some addiction, and Sun Er was very shy and ran away.
Taoist temple.
Xu Xian took out two "divine walking talismans" and stuck them on his legs. These were the new talismans he had recently learned. Then he ran all the way home, faster than a galloping horse. He considered that if he lived in the world, he could be called the "divine walking talisman".
.However, even if there is a Liangshan Mountain in this world, it is impossible to climb it. Otherwise, it may become a "flooded Liangshan Mountain". All the heroes may be drowned before they are ready, and the great ambition of doing justice for heaven will be stillborn.
.
Facing the night wind, Xu Xian had random thoughts.
In Tingyue Tower, Hangzhou.
A very heroic man who looked to be no more than 20 years old raised his hands and said, "I only want to see Miss Caifeng, and I have nothing else to ask for."
It was already late at night, and there were not many guests in Tingyue Building. After all, there were only a few people who would sleep in prostitutes during the Chinese New Year. It was just that ordinary brothel women had nowhere to go, so they just stayed and ate in this building.
He simply opened the door.
The madam yawned and glanced sideways at the man in front of her. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a dusty look on his face. He didn't look like someone from a wealthy family. It was just that his face was rough and bold, and very masculine. If she were twenty years younger, she would be right
Such people are rare. But now, she only recognizes those yellow and white things.
"You don't even know what time it is. It's just the first few days of the new year. Miss Caifeng said she won't see any guests. Isn't it normal time that anyone can see Caifeng if they want?" The disdain in his eyes was clearly revealed under the sleepiness.
A trace of anger flashed across the man's face. If he hadn't asked for help from someone, he would have been insulted like this. However, he had experienced many vicissitudes of life and knew how much the madam loved money. He took out a banknote from his arms and offered it to him.
The madam said, "I just ask my mother for an introduction. I will give you a report later."
The Madam's eyes were firmly attracted by the thin piece of paper, and she begged to meet him. This kind of person was exactly what she was looking for now.
Hangzhou Fengyue Lane was not originally called Fengyue Lane. I don’t know when, both sides were hung with smoke and moon signs, and later it was renamed Fengyue Lane. Popular girls may find a place to live on this street, unlike ordinary prostitutes.
She lives in a brothel. However, she is also managed by the Jiaofang Secretary, and there are some mothers and bustards above her to take care of the business. However, her appearance is calmer and more comfortable than that of ordinary brothel women.
Even though we have been here so far, it is finally time to celebrate the New Year. Both sides of Fengyue Lane are also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, no different from ordinary people's homes, maybe more devoted. After all, only these few days can be considered leisurely throughout the year, and those on weekdays
Although the wine and food are good, Hongluo Jinxiu is good, but the taste of it can only be known by oneself.
"Miss, it's really bullying to ask you to meet guests for the Chinese New Year. I'll go back to that old thing." Qingluan said and was about to walk out.
Caifeng hurriedly stopped her and said: "Although we are not afraid of her, it is not easy to offend her. We are just meeting, so it doesn't matter. Please help me dress up!"
Qingluan had no choice but to agree. She knew that her young lady always had a point.
Caifeng dressed up, turned around the middle door, and went to meet the uninvited guest. After entering the room, the eyes of the waiting man immediately lit up, and he stared at Caifeng. The old madam next to him coughed slightly, and the man quickly stood up and said
"My Excellency, Chu Jianxiong, has met Miss Caifeng. If there is any offense, I hope Miss Caifeng will not blame you." He tried hard to appear polite, but he felt slightly nervous in his heart.
Caifeng smiled and returned the gift: "Cai Feng thanks Mr. Chu for your kindness." Then she said to the old bustard: "Mom, you can go and have a rest. Qingluan will be here to serve you."
Chu Jianxiong was stunned again when he heard her voice. If compared to an oriole, it would seem contemptuous. He couldn't help but hear the legendary phoenix call, and his words carried the grace of hundreds of birds coming to court. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
, I can actually do the comparison myself.
Then Caifeng dealt with it calmly as usual. She had seen such people countless times, heard such words countless times, and there was nothing special about them.
So when Chu Jianxiong said, "I want to redeem myself for you, girl!", the expression on Caifeng's face was still light.
Chu Jianxiong couldn't help but be disappointed. He thought Caifeng would be surprised, or even if he wasn't surprised, he would still have some reaction, but with his martial arts, he couldn't detect anything that could be called an emotional change in the woman in front of him.
"Young Master loves me so much, Caifeng accepts it heartily. However, Caifeng is in Leji. If he wants to leave his nationality, he needs the permission of the prefect." These words are both reality and evasion. Caifeng has seen countless people and has roughly understood what is going on.
The background of this man seems to be that he has good kung fu and a lot of wealth. Judging from his demeanor, he probably does not do a serious business. Such a person may have great authority in some places, but in the officialdom
I'm afraid my family won't be able to do much.
The man suddenly stood up excitedly, "I passed by Hangzhou a few days ago. When I saw the girl's beauty, I couldn't forget her. That's why we met today. I'm not afraid of girls' jokes. I'm also a wandering wandering son. Now, as long as the girl says something, I'm willing to take you with me."
You can travel to the ends of the earth and never be controlled by anyone." But Caifeng was not moved by his words, and said, "I know Master Yun died unjustly. Mr. Chu is not talented, but he knows some martial arts, and he is willing to be a girl.
Revenge."
Caifeng, who had been listening quietly, changed her face when she heard this and said, "Shut up." Her chest rose and fell, showing that she was really angry. Then she forced herself to restrain herself and said, "Master, please come back. Please don't say such things again."
The atmosphere in the room condensed, and Qingluan almost couldn't help but want to take action, but she felt that Chu Jianxiong's martial arts was superior to hers, and she was afraid that if she couldn't control him with her action, it would arouse his ferocity.
