In the middle of the night, Mrs. Liu had to prepare dinner, and of course Mother Hu also went to help, so the mahjong naturally had to be dispersed.
Mr. Liu breathed out a sigh of relief, holding a small purple clay teapot and wandering around the yard leisurely.
Hu Zhou was not idle at all. He directly opened his posture in the yard, punching and kicking, and his movements of the Eighteen Postures of Danshan were extremely standard.
A bored Liu Qingquan went to the kitchen and drooled at the golden pheasant, then went to watch Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan play chess, and then ran around again, unable to relax.
Of course, Liu Qingquan never stopped walking or talking. Toffee, halva, and plum blossoms entered her stomach one by one.
“Eat less, it’s really bad for your teeth and can cause worms.” Lu Zheng reminded, “Be sure to remember to brush your teeth well, otherwise you won’t be able to marry with a mouth full of wormy teeth.”
Liu Qingquan bared her teeth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "My teeth don't get bugs. Once the bugs come out, I grind them into pieces."
Liu Qingyan patted Liu Qingquan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's because you are serious about brushing your teeth."
"Hee hee!" He took out a small brown cube and put his nose up to smell it.
"Sister...Brother Lu, this is what you said, chocolate, well, the name sounds weird and it smells weird. Is it really delicious?"
“You’ll know after eating one?”
Liu Qingquan blinked and doubtfully put the small cube on his hand into his mouth.
Liu Qingquan: (´◊ω◊`)
It’s so delicious!
How can there be such delicious snacks in the world!
“Sister, you eat too!” Liu Qingquan also brought a piece of chocolate to Liu Qingyan’s mouth.
“Well, it’s so sweet!” Liu Qingyan’s eyes were also shining.
How can a girl refuse the temptation of chocolate?
“Give me another one~”
Liu Qingquan sadly handed another one to Liu Qingyan, then decisively ran away with the tube in hand, “I’ll go give it to my mother and Mrs. Hu, give it a try."
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan looked at each other and smiled in understanding.
…
For New Year’s Eve dinner, Mrs. Liu arranged braised golden chicken, braised mutton with dried mushrooms, stir-fried cabbage, pickled salted radish, and big meat buns.
It has to be said that for Tonglin County locals, thisA table of dishes is already very rich, but compared to modern times, this is the standard of rural areas in the central region.
Without him, there is just too little material.
The facts are before us. Although there are reasons for technological progress, Lu Zheng still wants to praise the vegetable basket project again.
Let’s wait a little longer. When it gets better, we can improve the food first.
I have to give Liu Qingyan a supplement of vegetable and fruit vitamins. Look at that girl’s little face, it’s so white that it’s glowing. It’s not healthy at all.
While Lu Zheng was thinking wildly, he clinked glasses with Mr. Liu and drank while eating the vegetables and meat that Liu Qingyan put into the bowl for him.
After eating the meal for more than half an hour, everyone was satiated and asked the two old servants to clear the table.
Moving to the side room, Liu Laozhang lit the charcoal basin, Lu Zheng moved the table in, and the hemp rubbing battle continued.
This time Liu Qingyan came to the table, and then Lu Zheng took the Go game again and taught Liu Qingquan a new way to play, backgammon!
This alternative way of playing Go made Liu Qingquan feel like he had discovered a new world, and made Lu Zheng enjoy playing.
Only Liu Qingyan seemed a little sad that Go had fallen to this point. She frequently looked at Lu Zheng, his sister, and the black and white chessboard with a distressed look on her face.
Candlelight flickers and the wind whistles outside the window.
There were constant collisions and shouting and shouting in the room.
It was the first time I experienced the charm of the Chinese quintessence, and the long vigil experience in previous years seemed to become faster.
Eating snacks and drinking tea, the sky soon became brighter.
“New Year is here!” Liu Qingquan clapped her hands and smiled.
Lu Zheng put down the chess piece in his hand and looked out the window. He said that he had never kept the New Year's Eve in modern times, but when he came to the Jing Dynasty, he experienced a traditional New Year's Eve.
“Lu Lang, good luck in the new year!” Liu Qingyan stood up with a smile on her face and saluted.
"Blessed New Year!" Lu Zheng stood up and bowed to Mr. Liu and his wife.
Valley/span "Blessed New Year!" Everyone congratulated each other.
…
None of the three families had any relatives to leave, so on New Year’s Day, they had lunch at Liu’s house before leaving.
"Ah, yawn~" Liu Qingquan yawned and couldn't hold it anymore.
"Even the carriage shop is closed. It seems that if you want to go to Taohuaping, you have to wait until tomorrow." Lu Zheng said helplessly.
WillowQingyan chuckled and said, "Then let's go tomorrow. Sister Shen must know about it."
"I've stayed up all night, go back and catch up on some sleep." Lu Zheng said.
Hu Zhou’s mother and son had already left, and Liu Qingyan sent Lu Zheng to the gate with a baggage in her hand.
"This is..."
Liu Qingyan was a little embarrassed, "I don't have any skills, so I sewed another spring shirt for you. You go back Try it on and see if it fits."
"If you sew it, it must fit."
Liu Qingyan's face turned red and she turned around to look around. No one was there, so he stood up on tiptoes, kissed Lu Zheng on the face, then blushed and hurried home.
…
Lu Zheng returned home, traveled twice, and then returned to ancient times with a small box.
This is a gift he prepared for Shen Ying. It is a peach blossom hairpin with fallen flowers and tassels customized in a modern gold shop, with twenty-eight peach blossoms of different sizes and shapes carved on it.
……
“Lu Lang~”
“Good luck in the new year!” Lu Zheng hugged Shen Ying who jumped on him and turned around circle, then put it down and took out the peach blossom hairpin.
"So beautiful!" Shen Ying took it in surprise, and then changed her hair accessories on the spot.
"Does it look good?" Shen Ying turned around in front of Lu Zheng and asked expectantly.
Lu Zheng nodded immediately, "It looks good!"
Shen Ying took Lu Zheng's arm and took him to the village, "I also have a gift for you. "
"What?"
Soon, Shen Ying pulled Lu Zheng into the backyard bedroom and came to the dressing table.
"What are you doing, do you want to put on makeup for me?"
Before she could ask the question, Shen Ying had already turned around, holding a folding fan in her hand.
Shen Ying handed it to Lu Zheng as if offering a treasure, "Lu Lang, look at it."
"This is..."
Lu Zheng took it The fan only feels warm and fragrant in the hand.
Hold it up and take a closer look. The fan bones are made of white jade, with cloud patterns carved on the sides, as if they are flowing.
“Bang!” The folding fan opened.
On one side, white clouds are drawn flowing leisurely across the landscape, while on the other side, incense is drawn curling up.
As soon as the true energy in Lu Zheng's body turned, it poured into the folding fan without any stagnation.
“This is...a magic weapon?”
Shen Ying smiled and nodded, "I have used the incense to purify it. You can nourish it with the true energy for a period of time and use it to cast a spell, and the power will be doubled."
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Good stuff!"
"If the young master had not given that piece of jade pendant to the city god, you would have two magic weapons now." Shen Ying was still a little unwilling.
"Hahaha! I also got the "Tiger Roaring Knife" from Brother Xin, and it's not good at all. Can people pay attention to this in time?"
"That's right. ." Shen Ying shook her head and smiled.
Having said this, Shen Ying's peach blossom eyes were filled with water. She pulled Lu Zheng, turned her body slightly, and reached the edge of the bed.
