Xu Wei Rebirth

Chapter 42 New Year's Eve

During the Chinese New Year in the Great Chu Dynasty, it is necessary to wear new clothes. It is also necessary for the family to have a reunion dinner with Meimei. It is also necessary.

Have a reunion dinner on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, go out to visit relatives from the first day to the third day, worship the city god on the fourth day, and of course, there is the garden party that the children look forward to the most, from the fifth day to the eighth day, a three-day garden party.

Legend has it that when Emperor Taizu of the Great Chu Dynasty attacked southern Xinjiang, he was besieged by black ghosts and monsters driven by wizards in southern Xinjiang. Only then did the emperor conquer southern Xinjiang and capture the wizards in southern Xinjiang alive.

Because the gods like to be lively, Emperor Taizu ordered that a garden party be held from the fifth to the eighth day of the first lunar month every year to commemorate the life-saving grace of the gods.

The customs are different in different places, and the content of the garden party is also different.

The garden party in Qingyang County is probably the most common. It is nothing more than drinking in the plum grove, composing poems and admiring the plum blossoms. Of course, literati and refined scholars may prefer it, and there are opera troupes to sing operas. This is what the elderly and women prefer. Yes, as for the competition of the six martial arts and so on, this is the favorite of young scholars.

The so-called six arts, martial arts, piano, painting, calligraphy, chess, archery.

The Great Chu Dynasty did not set up martial arts, only liberal arts Jinshi, but today's scholars will be laughed at if they don't have the six arts.Back then, the twelve generals and ministers under Taizu's command were all capable of literature and martial arts, and had a profound influence on future generations. Therefore, although there were only liberal arts, there was never a shortage of young soldiers!

Therefore, during the three days of the garden party, the moat was the busiest, and that place was the venue for martial arts competitions.

And children, the favorite, of course, is the mask dance.

On the night of the last day of the eighth day, in the streets and alleys of Qingyang County, there will be many children who bring homemade ones, or buy one mask and two copper plates from Lao Yangtou on the street. Laughing and laughing, begging for brown sugar or copper coins with adults they know or don't know.

And today, no matter the adults they know or not, when they meet these naughty children, they can only smile helplessly and obediently give them some brown sugar or copper coins.

Don't swear or stare or blow your beard, because tonight, the kid wearing the mask is the boss of Qingyang County!

Because it is said that if any grumpy adult loses his temper when provoked by a child, nothing will go well in the new year!

Of course, this may not be true, but this is a custom that has been passed down for a long time in Qingyang County.

However, regardless of whether it is true or not, when watching the cute child lift his mask, spread his hands with a smile, and shout crisply, "Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the brown sugar!", many people will probably laugh, Obediently take out the brown sugar that you have prepared on your body.

... And this day, the thirtieth day of the first lunar month.

Xu Wei pulled Mo San, and murmured all the way, "Even if you want to practice, you don't need to be so anxious. Really! It's clearly agreed, I will go home with me for the New Year!..."

Mo San listened quietly, turned his head to look at Sui Sui Nian, because Xu Wei was blushing because of walking all the way, his eyes were bright, and in the evening glow, they were a little moist, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Xu Wei's eyes. Eyes, in exchange for Xu Wei's inexplicable stare.

"Xiao Mo, did you listen to me?!"

Mo San withdrew his hand silently, nodded, he listened, but... Weiwei is not good at being wordy, but this sentence cannot be said, Weiwei will get angry.

"Then you will go back to the mountain to practice martial arts on the eighth day of the lunar new year!" Xu Wei seriously explained.

Mo San paused and frowned slightly. He originally wanted to come back tonight... He couldn't see the star chessboard in his previous life. Luo Qipan figured out some ways, and wanted to continue to think about it, but he didn't pull himself out.

Looking at Weiwei who was staring at him seriously, those clean and clear eyes, obviously unable to intimidate others, but still pretending to be majestic, he thought...a rabbit covered in fried hair...so he frowned Slightly loosened, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Mo, if you don't speak, I will take it as your agreement. You are not allowed to sneak back for me, do you hear me?!" Xu Wei didn't notice the smile in Mo San's eyes, but only looked at Mo San His brows loosened, so he urged again.

No matter how much you forget to eat and sleep, please have a degree!

Ever since the master brought Xiao Mo to the Xingluo Chessboard, Xiao Mo has been fascinated by the chessboard made of stones, and almost slept there, if he hadn't pretended to be angry and pulled Xiao Mo back, Xiao Mo didn't even plan to sleep.But on the first night, I slept until midnight and found that the place next to me was empty... I had to climb to the back mountain to pull him back, because it was dark everywhere at night, and I almost fell off the cliff, but this body was covered The scratched wound was considered to have shocked Xiao Mo, so he didn't have to run to pull it in by himself. As soon as it got dark, he obediently went back to the temple.

However, what about the Xingluo chessboard, why did the master never tell me in his previous life... Mo San looked at Xu Wei with a determined face, thinking that in the middle of the night because he suddenly thought of a key, he ran to the Xingluo chessboard, Weiwei found it , but the whole body was scratched and fell. At that time, my heart hurt very much.

Well, it's only eight days anyway.

Then he nodded, if he sneaked back, Weiwei would definitely look for it like last time... As long as he thought about it, the dark mountain road, Weiwei was empty, almost fell into the cliff, and his heart was full of pain. Tighten suddenly.

Holding Weiwei's hand with great strength, Weiwei exclaimed in pain, "Xiao Mo!"

"Don't be like last time!" Mo San said darkly and coldly.

Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, and finally responded after a while, can't it be like last time?Well, was it the last time I climbed the mountain in the middle of the night to find him?

If Xiao Mo didn't run to that rotten chessboard in the middle of the night, would he need to climb the mountain so hard?

So, Xu Wei said seriously, "If you sleep well, I won't be like last time!"

Mo San was speechless.

Staring at Xu Wei in silence for a while, he sighed faintly, "Understood."

Xu Weisatisfied nodded, raised his hand that was not locked, touched Mo San's head, and said with a smile, "This is a good boy." After a pause, he said in a coaxing tone, "Kids don't sleep at night. You can't grow taller if you sleep."

The corner of Mo San's mouth twitched slightly.

It seems... in his previous life, he grew tall even when he hardly slept.At least, much taller than Weiwei's father!

And... Indifferently measured the height of Weiwei and himself, Mo San said indifferently, "Weiwei, I am a head taller than you."

Touching Mo San's soft hair, Wei Wei, who was a little reluctant to let go, suddenly froze.

------

It was already night when they arrived at Xu's Mansion.

The street is a little deserted, probably all go back to have a reunion dinner.

When they came to Xu's mansion, Huike and Song Chenyue were helping Song Zhen prepare the reunion dinner.

And Jin Dawei, Xu Haoran and Xu Zhengyi were in the study.

Mo San saluted and greeted Song Zhen indifferently and politely, his movements and words were unexpectedly elegant.

After saying hello, Mo San turned around and walked towards the study.

Xu Wei stayed behind to help prepare.

"Wow, I really can't see it, so Prince Mo Gui is also so polite." Song Chenyue sighed.

Xu Wei frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the words Prince Mo Gui and the sarcasm hidden in Song Chenyue's tone, but glanced at Song Zhen, Xu Wei bowed his head and remained silent.

Song Zhen spoke seriously, "Fifth sister, don't talk like that! Xiao Mo is the third prince! You should pay attention to your tone of voice."

Song Chenyue curled her lips, although she was a little disdainful, she didn't say any more embarrassing words.

And Huike walked up to Xu Wei gently, whispering, "Weiwei, Auntie doesn't seem to be in a good mood..."

Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Song Zhen who was putting the fish on the plate, and looked carefully, as if there was some sadness in his brows and eyes.

what happened?

At this time, in the study.

Xu Zhengyi looked at Xu Haoran and said seriously, "Haoran, although Master Huiyuan can give you some pointers on your martial arts, but this is not enough. If you plan to practice martial arts, it is better to find a teacher."

Xu Haoran cupped his hands respectfully, "Yes! Haoran understands."

"Teacher, that Qu Jiangyou... disciples have some impressions." Jin Dawei said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Let me hear what Dagua said." Xu Zheng asked with great interest, holding up his teacup.

Jin Dawei was powerless to the word "big melon", so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth, and replied respectfully, "Yes!" After a pause, he said while sorting out his mind, "This person is Qu Shangshu's distant cousin, Without the title of Jinshi, he was the chief secretary of Dafu County in his first year as an official, but he was transferred to the county magistrate of Weimianyu County within three years. After that, he changed places every two years, but he was either the chief secretary or the county magistrate. Ling. Although this person is only the post of county magistrate, the students once saw this person in the Xiangfang Building in the capital by chance. The 1000 taels of silver bill specified that I wanted to see the number one beauty in Xiangfanglou at that time."

"Tsk! It seems that this person has a lot of money." Xu Zhengyi rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes, then turned his head and looked at Jin Dawei with a half-smile, "I said big melon, not bad! You are already young at such a young age." Do you know the beauty of Rouge Fengyue?"

Jin Dawei blushed immediately, and cupped his hands hastily, "Teacher, don't make fun of this student, I was dragged there by force!"

Xu Zhengyi smiled, and waved his hands leisurely, "It's okay, it's okay, this kind of thing is normal." But he turned his head to look at Xu Haoran who was a little curious, paused, and said seriously, "Haoran, you are different from Dagua, you But remember! The first time for a man must be for the person he likes! Do you know?"

Bang!

The teacup in Jin Dawei's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Xu Zhengyi in a daze, what is a man's first time must be for someone he likes, teacher! ! !

Teacher, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!

Xu Haoran was at a loss, "Father, what are you talking about?"

Xu Zhengyi patted Xu Haoran's shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, you will understand sooner or later."

Mo San, who had stood outside the door and listened for a long time, had a flash of interest in his eyes, this Xu Zhengyi was also interesting, as expected of Weiwei's father, so he pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Zhengyi looked at Mo San, but slowly got up, bowed his hands in salute, "Third Prince."

Mo San stared at Xu Zhengyi, and saw Xu Zhengyi's expression was calm, his eyes were peaceful, without a trace of resignation, and his attitude was respectful, but he didn't have Jin Dawei's obvious flattery, neither humble nor overbearing, quite indifferent.

The corner of his mouth slightly bent, is this Xu Zhengyi?

Because he decided to surrender, so he gave a big gift to give himself the respect he deserved. Before, he deliberately ignored it, but Mo San believed that if he was not the one Xu Zhengyi decided to surrender, or it was not because Weiwei told him Xu Zhengyi probably would rather die than offer a big gift to him.

And once the decision was made and the choice was made, there was no procrastination, no flattery at all, but respectful and peaceful.

This is the most disciplined attitude, the most appropriate attitude, and even more... the attitude that I appreciate!

Xu Haoran who was on the side looked at Xu Zhengyi bowed his hands silently three times, feeling a little dazed, but after Jin Dawei poked him quietly, he came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted.

"Get up." Mo San said, seeing Xu Zhengyi standing up straight in a very natural and calm way, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "Weiwei and I are as usual, and Uncle Xu and Big Brother Xu should also be like this." .”

Xu Zhengyi didn't refuse, he cupped his hands and said flatly, "Yes!"

Xu Haoran looked at Mo San with some confusion.Only now did he know that Mo San was actually the third prince? !

So, is their family tied up in the thief ship of the third prince?

At the dinner table, Xu Wei looked at the older brother who was a bit reserved than usual, then at Jin Dawei and Song Chenyue who were eating well, and...the old man who was eating quietly...why...is it weird?

"Weiwei..." Suddenly, Mo San spoke.

"Ah?" Xu Wei turned his head.

"Didn't you make this Fuzi chicken?" Mo San asked, picking up the chicken in the rice bowl.

"Hmm... Fifth Aunt made it..." Xu Wei said in a low voice, his eyes implying that even if I didn't make it, you can still eat it!Don't eat it yet!

Mo San stared at Xu Weihao silently for a while, hesitated, and took the chicken out of the bowl, "I won't eat it."

Xu Wei stroked his forehead, and gave Mo San a hard look, but Mo San had already lowered his head and was eating on his own.

Song Chenyue sneered, and was about to speak, when Song Zhen spoke lightly, "Chenyue, this Fuzi chicken tastes a bit bland."

Song Chenyue froze, while Jin Dawei at the side seemed to suddenly realize, "No wonder... I feel that the taste is different from usual."

Song Chenyue turned her head and glared angrily, "If you don't like it, don't eat it!"

Jin Dawei lazily picked up the Fuzi chicken, took a big bite, and after chewing and swallowing, he said slowly, "Don't you know that eating on New Year's Eve should not be wasted?"

Song Chenyue was trembling with anger, but looking at Song Zhen's warning eyes, she could only glared at Mo San angrily, but Mo San was biting the mutton.

Song Chenyue looked at the mutton, it was the roasted lamb chops that Weiwei hurriedly made after she came back... Said that Mo San likes this...Damn it!So why is the lovely Weiwei treating this ink ghost prince so kindly? !

snort!An ink ghost who has the name of a prince for nothing, and is worse than a beggar!

But Xu Zhengyi didn't seem to notice, drinking and picking up food in silence.

Hui Ke took a peek at Xu Zhengyi, just in time to see that Song Zhen picked up a piece of fish and put it in Xu Zheng's bowl, and Xu Zhengyi stared at the piece of fish for a long time, and finally, he picked up a piece of pork and started to chew slowly .

Song Zhen looked at Xu Zhengyi blankly.

Hui can hear:

【It's different...it's different...】
