Lin Xun'er had already prepared, and with a smile, she divided the red envelopes marked one by one, and Zheng Bing, Li Bai, and Guo Ziqi each got one.

"Well, that's not good." Guo Ziqi said with some embarrassment.

When I came here, it was useless, eating and drinking, Guo Ziqi felt a little embarrassed, and now I still have red envelopes to take, and it is not easy to reach out.

Zheng Peng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it, if you don't have your share, your eldest brother won't settle accounts with me, and it's not a precious thing, just to please a lottery." ”

Guo Ziqi took it with both hands while thanking, felt the red envelope heavy, opened it and saw that it was an auspicious jade pendant.

It is not a precious thing, this piece of jade, less than eighty times outside, don't even think about it.

Li Bai got a piece of good jade with rich flowers, and Zheng Bing got a step shake made of rubies, and they were all happy.

After eating and receiving the reward, Lin Xun'er was not idle, and began to command his subordinates to prepare firecrackers, clean up, change peach charms, and stick to the door gods.

The door god originally worshiped the gods and Yu Lei, they were the two gods sent by the Yellow Emperor in ancient times to lead the wandering ghosts in the world, such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Rebuilding the Weft Book Integration", "Customs and Customs", "Book in the Pillow" and other books, recorded are these two gods, but unfortunately to the Zhenguan period, the work of the gods and the gods of Yulei was replaced by Qin Shufu and Yu Chi Jingde.

According to legend, Tang Taizong's health is not very good, there is a demon outside the door of the dormitory, the six courtyards and three palaces, and the night is not peaceful. So Taizong told the ministers the whole situation, and Qin Shubao said: "The ministers are like killing people in their lives, and accumulating corpses are like gathering ants, so why be afraid of little ghosts!" I am willing to serve with Dejung. ”

After Taizong rewarded the two, he felt that the two lovers were old, and let the two guard the palace gate all night, which was really hard, so he ordered the painter to paint the portrait of the two, dressed in anger, holding a jade axe, and whipping the bow and arrow, as usual, hanging on the two palace doors, and since then Jesus has been pacified.

At that time, the work of the door god was replaced by two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

In order to show sincerity, the work of sticking the door god is Lin Xun'er and Zheng Bing pasting together, just when the second daughter pasted the door god and changed the new charm, Huang San took a few subordinates and moved a large number of bamboo cut into tubes from the utility room and piled them in the yard, and said while moving: "Hurry up, Sister Lin said, this year must be lively." ”

A few subordinates responded, moved more diligently, and after a while, it became a hill.

"Brother, I'm going to set off firecrackers in a while." Zheng Bing suddenly said expectantly.

Before Zheng Peng could speak, Lin Xun'er hurriedly said: "Xiaoice, no, just stand far away and listen to the sound, stand close to the danger." ”

"Brother, I haven't played before, I want to play." Zheng Bing pulled Zheng Peng's sleeve a little pitifully and said coquettishly.

Zheng Bing is weak on the outside, but he is very stubborn on the inside, and he has long wanted to try it himself, but his parents have not allowed him, and he is afraid of his father's blame, so finally his parents and father are not here, there is only one brother who loves him, Zheng Bing naturally wants to seize this opportunity.

"It's rare that my sister is begging her brother, play!" Zheng Peng turned to speak: "But firecrackers are indeed a bit dangerous, just find a quick person to protect them, Ziqi, you are a disciple of the general, this little thing should not be difficult for you, you look at my sister when you burn firecrackers for a while." ”

Zheng Peng is very optimistic about Guo Ziqi, his family background, appearance and cultivation are all the best choices, and his character is no problem, after these days of observation, he found that he also has a good impression of Zheng Bing, and has the heart to match them, so he creates opportunities for him.

Xiao Jue, as an elder brother, I can only help you here.

Gunpowder has not appeared at this time, firecrackers are really bursting "bamboo", put the bamboo on the fire to bake, the bamboo tube will burst after heating, make a very loud sound, the ancients believed that fire can be evil, huge sound, couplets and peach charms can drive away evil spirits, and burn firecrackers in the yard during the New Year.

Bamboo bursting sometimes flies far away, it may hurt people, many parents do not let girls get close, boys have multiple scars, it can be said to be a mark of bravery, if girls have multiple scars, it will be difficult to marry.

Guo Ziqi didn't understand what Zheng Peng meant, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Ziqi will definitely protect Miss Bing." ”

Zheng Bing pouted on the side, but didn't say anything.

There are many people who are easy to do, and they will be ready in a while, and now they will start to observe the New Year, just waiting for the moment of the New Year.

After finishing his work, Huang San came up with a smile and applied for it: "Young master, Ah Wang, they said that the New Year is big, can you play a few hands of fish, shrimp and crabs, and make a lot of fun." ”

Playing a few hands is gambling money, the Tang Dynasty is an open country, Qinglou and gambling houses can exist legally, for gambling, up to the emperor's relatives and relatives, down to the peddlers and pawns, they all like to play a few hands, that is, Wu Zetian also once hosted a gambling game, so that civil and military officials have joined in.

No, there are people in the neighborhood who play cards, and they are still playing very lively, and it is estimated that they heard others playing, and these guys were moved.

Zheng Peng knows the harmfulness of gambling, and strictly prohibits gambling on weekdays, and the people also abide by it.

Fish, shrimp and crab, also known as fish, shrimp and crab Sic Bo, is a kind of gambling game, such as ordinary Sic Bo is different, the dice are replaced by fish, shrimp, crab, money, gourd and chicken patterns, a cup does not need to calculate the size, directly open what pattern can be, easy to understand, very popular with the people.

"You can't play on weekdays, but now it's the New Year, you can make an exception, go and get it" Zheng Peng said: "This young master is a villager." ”

I haven't played for a long time, and Zheng Peng also has a little itchy hands.

Let's play, it's all your own people here, no matter what, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Deler, young master, it's good for the little one." Hearing that Zheng Peng not only agreed, but also went down to make a village in person, Huang San was overjoyed and hurried to get Sic Bo.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the hall was already crowded with people, except for the old man Ma who was guarding the door, the maidservants, and the maids, including Lan Duo and her guards, all crowded around the table, looking at Zheng Peng with bright eyes.

Zheng Peng is sorting out the gambling equipment, roughly a wooden dice, three carved fish, shrimp and crab dice bo, and then a piece of cloth painted with various patterns, when playing, put the money on the pattern you want to buy, as long as it is the same as the dice pattern that is shaken, you win, if you shake out the three dice are the same, this is called the dice, also called "siege", the dealer wins.

Of course, dice can also be bought, and the odds are still very high.

What makes everyone excited is that Zheng Peng, who is not only able to play and be a banker, has a bunch of gold leaves on the left and a bunch of copper coins on the right.

"Hey, Brother Ajun, aren't you playing tricks?" Huang San asked a little strangely.

Except for the gatekeeper, almost everyone gathered here, ready to try their luck, that is, Lan Duo, who was the lord of the county, was also holding a stack of gold leaves and was ready to touch his luck, Ah Jun did not approach, only to see him sitting by the window, taking a sip of braised meat and a sip of wine, so he was at ease.

"I'll just watch the excitement, you guys can play." Ah Jun said with a smile.

Except for martial arts, Ah Jun is not interested in other things.

Everyone went to play, although Chang'an is very safe, as a guard, the Argentine army must take precautions in case someone is unfavorable to Zheng Peng.
