Chapter 397: New Year's Greetings
This night, Liu Yiyi slept late.
After humming a little song and coaxing Zhang Chuchu to sleep, in the early hours of the morning, he tilted his head and squinted on the couch for a while.
Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning, Liu Yi was awakened by a somewhat scattered footsteps outside the door, as if someone had come from home.
Glancing at Zhang Chuchu, who was still asleep, Liu Yiyi sat up lightly, picked up the new clothes, shoes and socks next to the couch and put them on neatly, and opened the door lightly and walked out. ”
Di Renjie, Di Shijie, the two little guys, wearing new clothes and a white fox fur hat, stood respectfully at the door, bent down to give Liu Yiyi a salute, looking at the red and fluttering on their faces, they should have been standing here for a long time.
"Well, okay," Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and these two little cubs have come to pay New Year's greetings to their husband according to common etiquette.
"Come on, come on, come inside, it's very cold outside." Liu Yiyi pulled the two of them into the house one by one, turned his head to look at Xiao Yi next to him, and asked Di Renjie and them softly, "It's been a long time, why don't you come to the house to sit?" Look at your little hands and faces, what are they frozen? ”
Liu Yichi dragged the two of them to the fire in the hall and turned the fire up so that they could draw more heat.
"We were afraid of disturbing Mr. and Mrs. Niang's rest, so we waited outside, and it has nothing to do with Sister Xiaoyi!" Seeing Mr. looking at Xiao Yi, Di Renjie opened his mouth and whispered to Liu Yiyi: "It's us who came too early." ”
"You little clever ghost!" Liu Yiyi chuckled and patted Di Renjie's hand, took the hot tea handed by Xiao Yi, glanced out the door again, and asked Di Renjie and them softly, "What, are you two coming?" ”
"Mr. Hui," Di Shijie took a sip of tea, warmed his mind, and said to Liu Yiyi: "Uncle and aunt also wanted to come over, but today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are already students from my uncle at home, so it is a little inconvenient, so my uncle brought me and Xiaojie with Steward Di." ”
"Steward Di has gone back just now, and he asked Xiao Yi to pay New Year's greetings to the master on his behalf." At this time, Xiao Yi also interjected on the side.
"Well, Steward Di is polite," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, and looked at the sky outside, the sky was not yet bright, and the sun had not yet appeared.
"Xiaoyi, you go and prepare the meal now, well, remember to prepare more, there should be another person at home later." Thinking of Xiao Hui and Liu Cheng, Liu Yiyi waved his hand at Xiao Yiwei and commanded her softly.
"Okay, are you two warmer?" When Xiao Yi stepped back, Liu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head to look at the two little guys, and asked softly.
"Much better, it's not cold anymore, sir, is there anything funny?" Seeing the peculiar expression on Liu Yiyi's face, Di Renjie was the first to ask, he had studied with Liu Yiyi for so long, and Di Renjie was already clear about some of Liu Yiyi's small actions.
In his own words, this gentleman is a bit bad, but he is very bad.
"Hehe," seeing that the eyes of the two little ones were flashing, Liu Yiyi smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that last night, there were some firecrackers left at home, ready to be set off this morning, I wonder if the two of you are interested in accompanying the teacher to burn them off?" ”
Liu Yiyi's words were very tempting, and he aroused the interest of the two little ones at once, and they both quickly nodded their little heads, looking at their unscrupulous gentleman.
Although the firecrackers in the Tang Dynasty are very different from the firecrackers of later generations, for example, there are no firecrackers that are simple, loud and imposing. But they are also very popular with children. In Liu Yiyi's somewhat vague memory, every time the Chinese New Year came in the past, he and Liu Erjo's kid would carry Lao Liu and Liu He on their backs every night, and secretly take some firecrackers from home to set off outside the house, and when they heard the crackling sound of firecrackers, they would be very happy.
Di Renjie and Di Shijie should be the same, but Di Mansion is a wealthy family with a very strict family education, and if you want to set off firecrackers in person, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
"The bamboos are hanging behind the door, go and fetch them, and we'll set them in the yard." Liu Yiyi raised his hand and pointed at them, and said softly, and the two little ones cheered in unison and trotted over.
In Liu Yiyi's eyes, setting off firecrackers and firecrackers is the joy of childhood, a kind of good memories when you grow up, and you don't need to be too blocked when you are a parent, and the firecrackers at this time are much safer than those firecrackers made of gunpowder.
"Oh, that's right, sir," seeing Liu Yiyi so interesting, Di Renjie after lighting a firecracker with his own hands, the thief came to Liu Yiyi, turned his two smart little eyes, and whispered to Liu Yiyi: "The afternoon before yesterday, we had two beautiful sisters in our house, the kind that looks very good-looking and good-looking, compared to our beautiful teacher, they are not inferior at all, and they seem to be very interesting to Mr. Liu, all day and night, they are chanting the poems that Mr. used to make, and inquiring about Mr. in the house, My cousin and I have been asked by them several times, according to the students, they are eighty percent of them have a crush on Mr., if Mr. has a heart, he will find us two more beautiful teachers, right? ”
"People are small and big!" Liu Yiyi waved his hand and patted Di Renjie's little head, chuckled and reprimanded, and did not take the little guy's words to heart.
"Really!" Di Renjie saw that Liu Yiyi didn't seem to believe it, so he raised his head and swore loudly: "If you don't believe it, ask my cousin, those two sisters from Chang'an are really good-looking, in Fengjie, except for my sister and the beautiful teacher, I have never seen a sister more beautiful than them." ”
"Well, Xiaojie is right," Di Shijie also echoed and said, "Those two sisters are really good-looking, not only them, but also the two little girls they brought, they are also very beautiful." ”
"You say they're from Chang'an?" As soon as the two little guys talked and sang, they couldn't help but attract Liu Yiyi's attention, so they asked softly, "Do you know what their identities are?" ”
"Listening to the uncle's words, they are the world's friends of our Di family, one is called Su Chenxi, and the other is called Li Ruyi, they are a pair of cousins." Di Shijie opened his mouth to reply, and then bent down excitedly to light his firecrackers.
"Su Chenxi?! Li Ruyi?! ”
Hearing these two names, Liu Yichi was stunned.
Su Chenxi had heard Liu Ertiao mention that she was the granddaughter of Old Man Su, I heard that she was very beautiful, and she was also the object of admiration of Liu Er's little fart, but Liu Yiyi had never seen it, and he was not very impressed, but Li Ru was like this name, but he couldn't be more familiar, Princess Yuzhang, the tomboy who had dressed up as a man, drank wine and chatted with him, and shook hands with his arms.
How did they find here? Could it be that they have already discovered the whereabouts of their family?
Liu Yiyi shook his head and threw this thought aside, no one knew that they were hiding here, those two girls came here, it should be just a coincidence, otherwise, there would not be any news and movement on the Chang'an side until now.
"Sir, sir! Someone outside is calling the door! Di Renjie dragged Liu Yiyi's sleeve and shook it twice, shaking Liu Yiyi from his trance, and then he heard a knock on the door, and outside the door, Liu Cheng's familiar voice: "Is Mr. Liu at home?" ”
Liu Xiaohui, they're here!
Liu Yiyi collected the thoughts in his head and walked quickly to the courtyard gate, where Liu Cheng and Liu Xiaohui were waiting for each other.
"Student Liu Zixuan, I have seen Mr. Liu, Zixuan has given Mr. New Year's greetings!" Liu Xiaohui arched her little hand in a similar manner, respectfully bent over and gave Liu Yiyi a master-apprentice salute, then straightened up and looked at Liu Yiyi happily.
"Mr. Liu!" Liu Cheng saw that there were living people in the courtyard, and he also smiled and arched his hand at Liuyi.
"Okay, okay, it's cold outside, come in quickly," Liu Yiyi watched Liu Xiaohui keep shaking her body, her little hands and nose were also red from the cold, and she felt distressed in her heart, and she was busy inviting them to the courtyard.
"Is Zixuan here?" Hearing the noise outside, Zhang Chuchu also pushed the door and walked out of the bedroom, and when he saw Liu Xiaohui and Liu Cheng, his face was excited and happy, and he walked out lightly with a big belly.
"Master!" "Master!" "Master!"
Seeing Zhang Chuchu come out, Di Renjie and Di Shijie also put down the firecrackers in their hands, and the curiosity in their hearts about the new beautiful little girl, together with Liu Xiaohui, went to the teacher's side, bent down to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher, and Liu Xiaohui was even more affectionate and attached to Zhang Chuchu's body.
