After eating dumplings at home, Ma Du went out, he wanted to go to the academy to accompany Zhu Sheng to eat the last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in his life, Zhu Sheng's body will definitely not last this time next year, maybe even this Spring Festival he can't survive.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Bi Lin, and Ma Du was hit by her and staggered, "What are you doing this girl, I can't see you when I eat dumplings." ”

"When the boy saw a beggar on the side of the road, he felt pity and gave him a bowl of dumplings, and his father would not punish me."

"My son has compassion, what does Daddy punish you for, hurry home to eat, go to bed early after eating, and Daddy will take you to Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings!"

Bi Lin tilted her head and asked, "Daddy, don't you have to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and his mother tomorrow morning?" ”

"Don't go, hurry up and eat dumplings, it's sticky when it's late!" Madu touched her head and went out.

When I walked to the intersection, I didn't see any beggars, but I saw three and a half children setting off fireworks, and the sparks in the arm-thick paper tube were one person high, and the three babies were jumping and jumping around the paper tube like monkeys.

This kind of fireworks is actually very high-end in Daming, and ordinary children are already very happy to be able to set off a cannon during the New Year.

"Don't you three want to see fireworks? Come with me to the academy so that you can see enough! ”

Xiao Biao turned his head and asked, "Daddy, will the academy set off fireworks this year?" I've never let it go in previous years! ”

"This year is an exception, what makes Mr. Zhu happy is that my father got high-end goods from the palace, and the emperor pit a lot of silver."

Sanbao said: "Naturally, I want to see it, and I can't let Uncle Ma's silver go down in vain." ”

At that moment, the two of them pulled Zhang Zhongqiu and followed Ma Du straight to the academy. The Spring Festival holiday is too short, and even the students who live in the state capital near Yingtian did not go home, so it was quite lively.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the college is organized by the students themselves, and they will use the money they earn to buy wine and vegetables to give back to the gentlemen in the college.

Of course, dumplings are also indispensable, and they are all made by the students themselves, don't think that they are all young readers who don't understand these, and in the past few years, they are all good at it, and the guidance of the senior students and the lower grades are doing a good job.

You see that although An Huzi is five big and three thick, he is the best when it comes to the craft of making dumplings, and he has enough stuffing and does not enter the water. I saw that he took the dumpling skin handed over by Wu Fuzhong, used chopsticks to pick up the dumpling filling and wiped it on the dumpling skin, and with a slap of his hands, he became a small ingot, and stood on the tray with a pinch, the speed was quite fast, and Wu Fuzhong's dumpling skin over there had not been pressed.

Just when Ma Du was about to go over to praise him, he found that this guy suddenly picked out the feet that were shaking on his legs, and then remembered that this guy had athlete's foot, and it was difficult for Wu Fuzhong to mess with him all day long, but seeing that he was rolling dumpling wrappers on the side like no one, it was estimated that his olfactory nerve had been destroyed by An Huzi.

When Ma Du found a few old men in the cafeteria, he found that these people were also making dumplings. However, the craftsmanship is very rotten, not to mention the crookedness of the bag, not to mention the filling, and even the legs and feet of the dumplings, I don't know that I think it is a naughty boy, so Luo Furen cooks with his wife at home, and the dumplings are quite visible.

These traditional old literati have always adhered to the ancient precept of a gentleman who cooks far away, and it is already good to be willing to cook. Ma Du asked the three little ones to give a salute to the old men, and as soon as they were together, they unceremoniously stretched out their hands to beg for New Year's money, which made several old men laugh.

"Come on, come on!" Zhu Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled the little horse and untied a small jade pendant from his waist, "The old man is not prepared, this is for you!" ”

Xiao Biao turned his head to look at Ma Du, and when he saw Ma Du nodding, he stretched out his hand to take it, "More Mr. Zhu!" ”

Zhu Sheng touched his head with a smile, "Xiao Biao seems to have grown a lot taller, when he was born in the academy, he was only as big as such a cat, and he became a big child in a blink of an eye, time flies so fast!" ”

"The younger generation asked the grandfather for an elixir in the ancestral hall last year, and the size naturally grew faster, I heard that Mr. Zhu was sick, and the younger generation asked for another one to send to you when the ancestral hall worshiped the ancestors tomorrow, I believe that Mr.'s illness will not be long before it will be cured."

Ma Du couldn't wait to vomit old blood, this kid was really Biao, for fear that others would treat him as a little god like King Lu, so he hurriedly explained: "The elixir that the dog said is made of incense ash, and the child is just messing around." ”

Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "The old man will take it if he has a heart, and the old man will wait for you to send it here tomorrow, with your elixir, the old man may not be able to get better, maybe he will become an immortal, haha......" The others also laughed.

An Huzi and Wu Fuzhong came over with a large tray with hot dumplings on it, and put them in front of a few old men one by one, "A few gentlemen, come and try the newly cooked dumplings, all of them are filled with thin skin and don't enter the soup, specially reserved for a few gentlemen, Master Hou, you also have a bowl." ”

Thinking of the scene where An Huzi picked his feet just now, Ma Du almost didn't vomit, and hurriedly said, "No need, I ate at home just now." ”

"Daddy has eaten it, but the three of us haven't eaten it yet, Brother Huzi will give each of us a bowl." The little horse unceremoniously snatched the bowl in front of the horse, and had already pinched one and put it in his mouth.

Ma Du smiled and muttered, "That's it, it's not clean, you don't get sick after eating." ”

The dumplings added by An Huzi seem to have an appetizing effect, and Zhu Sheng's appetite tonight seems to be particularly good, except for two for Xiao Biao, a big bowl of dumplings has been eaten cleanly.

His face was slightly flushed, his complexion was much better, and his interest was very high, and when he heard that Ma Du had brought the fireworks in the palace, he shouted to see them, and he didn't even sit in a wheelchair.

Lao Zhu is a miser, but he is very willing to spend money on face projects, and the fireworks used to add color to the prosperous scene will naturally not be bad, after all, this is a long-standing and traditional industry, and it is not much behind in technology than later generations.

With a sound of explosion, the fire tree silver flower suddenly appeared in the night sky, like a colorful butterfly out of the cocoon flying in the night sky, and like a beautiful golden chrysanthemum blooming in the night sky, after a short period of splendor, it turned into countless meteors and slipped down in the deep night sky.

The students were raising their necks in admiration, the three little babies were dancing excitedly and screaming wolves, and Zhu Sheng stroked his palms again and again, "Beautiful!" It's beautiful! Such a prosperous beauty, it is really impossible to see enough! ”

He suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Ma Du, "Xuanzhong really took great pains to see off the old man, don't be extravagant and waste the old man's heart." ”

"What did Mr. say, I happened to get a few fireworks, so everyone can see the freshness." Ma Du grabbed Zhu Sheng's arm, "Let's go, let's go to the auditorium to watch the show, the students are ready, and the show will start when you are in place." ”

Ma Du swore that the prototype of the Spring Festival Gala of the academy was definitely not made up by him, it was made by the students who were very bored during the vigil.

Ma Du only found out last year, and he went to see it with joy, but he never thought that the whole process was a urine spot, and there was no point of sight. In later generations, the Spring Festival Gala, which was organized by the power of the whole country and celebrities for several months, was inevitably criticized by the people of the whole country, not to mention the temporary performance put together by the students of the college.

However, this is a rare carnival time of year for the students of the college, and whenever someone performs on stage, they will receive warm applause. I didn't see An Huzi, who performed somersaults, fell two butts in a row, and some people applauded him.

Ma Du gave bad comments in his heart, Fang Xiaoru's poetry recitation was boring, Wu Fuzhong's blowing was not festive, Huang Fugui's blowing suona was not stylish, Tie Xuan said that he couldn't even play a sword flower when he performed swordsmanship, so he saw him holding a sword all over the stage.

There is also a ventriloquist on stage to learn bird calling, fortunately he is performing in the academy, if he whistles at the big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the street, I am afraid that he will be beaten as a disciple and his nose is blue and his face is swollen.

Especially the joker, Ma Du was about to commit goosebumps and embarrassment, and the strange thing was that he was able to get a full house of laughter, and the laughter of ancient and modern times was really different.

Compared with immature students, these gentlemen are really versatile, Song Ke's cursive, Tao An's flute, and even the new mountain chief Ye Dui is also a good piano, and the song "Ni Dress Song" is full of aftertaste.

Ye Dui pointed to Ma Du, who was sitting in the audience, "Xuanzhong, it's your turn!" ”

"Me?" Ma Du pointed to his nose and smiled: "I'm afraid that the new head of the mountain doesn't understand me, I have never had any talent, and I am not good at playing the piano and blowing the flute, but I can draw a few villain paintings, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into your eyes." ”

"Xuanzhong, let's recite a good poem to the old man." Zhu Sheng said with anticipation in his eyes.

Ma Du scratched his head and couldn't think of any outstanding poems for a while, "That's it, the junior has a tune here, let Mr. Ye play me to accompany the singing!" ”

Zhu Sheng nodded, "Okay, as long as the old man likes the old man's posthumous work, he likes it very much!" ”

Ma Du immediately found a pen and paper, wrote a ruler score on it and handed it to Ye Dui, whether Ma Du had nothing to learn in his spare time, or the first time he used it.

Ye Dui took it in his hand and read it carefully, only played it twice, and then said: "Good song!" Brother Yunsheng, you have ears, Xuanzhong is ready to sing. ”

"Mr. Ye, don't you need to play it a few times first to familiarize yourself?"

Zhu Sheng said with a smile: "Does Xuan Zhong think that Brother Liangzhong's name Qin Demon was given for nothing? You just have to sing, the old man can't wait. ”

Piano Demon? I didn't expect Ye Dui to have such a nickname, but it really fits the occasion with this song.

Ma Du cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm ready!" ”

Ye Dui nodded, his fingers crossed the strings and played, Ma Du sang softly: "The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs follow the waves, only remember the present day." The sky is smiling, there are tides in the world, who loses and who wins, God knows...... Lalala...... Lalala......"

Ma Du couldn't help but let out a long breath and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of the piano ring again after stopping for a moment, without the intention of stopping, and at the same time, the bamboo flute in Tao An's hand also echoed it, adding a bit of charm.

Ma Du had no choice but to take a deep breath and continue to sing, this time in Cantonese dialect, not to mention that the cooperation of the three of them is simply a divine restoration. Ma Du sang and observed the audience, all the teachers and students were fascinated, and in later generations, they could be fascinated by the music that their ears were calloused, no wonder they often went to the Qinhuai River to learn from and communicate with the literary and artistic workers there.

Ye Dui deserves the title of Qin Demon, when Ma Du sang with him for the third time, he didn't mean to stop, the tone was getting higher and higher, the sound of the piano was getting more and more excited, and he didn't stop when Tao An, who was playing the flute, couldn't keep up.

He sighed as if he was a little regretful, but his face was joyful, "Full of pride, ethereal, really a fairy song!" ”

The teachers and students finally came back to their senses, and immediately applauded thunderously, and after a long pause, Ma Du slapped the fart of the new mountain chief, "Mr. Divine skills, the younger generation admires!" ”

"Huh...... It's the song of the old layman. Xuanzhong was later changed to a nine-tone and nine-tone Cantonese dialect, which added a bit of charm. Ye Dui looked at Zhu Sheng, "Brother Yunsheng, are you still satisfied?" ”

Zhu Sheng half-squinted his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth, as if he was still immersed in the Divine Comedy, deaf to Ye Dui's words, and the little horse standing beside him touched Zhu Sheng with his hand, "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Ye is talking to you." ”

Seeing that Zhu Sheng still hadn't reacted, Xiao Biao put his finger under his nose and probed, "Grandpa Tai took Mr. Zhu away to become an immortal!" ”

Dangdangdang...... A bell rang from the mountain, and the New Year had arrived.
