Since the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and by dusk, there are basically no pedestrians in sight, most of the shops are closed, and every household is particularly lively, only some ox carts still haunt the streets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The ox cart stopped at the entrance of the freezer street, and Li Yanqing gave the elderly coachman more than 100 copper coins on his body, "Now it's time to go home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" ”

"Go home, the petty official is the last business of the year."

The coachman found that the money was more than ten times more, and hurriedly said: "Little official, the money is too much." ”

"It's okay, the last business, a good omen for next year."

"Thank you to the little officials, I wish the little officials the imperial examination high school."

Li Yanqing laughed, "Thank you!" ”

Li Yanqing is in a very good mood today, he walks a lot briskly, and he is still reminiscing about the bits and pieces with Master Li, and the taste of ecstasy is really unforgettable.

"Lao Li, where have you been today?" Two people ran out of the alley next to them, it was Wang Gui and Tang Huai.

Li Yanqing scratched his head, "Why are you here?" ”

"You were called by your father! Have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, the fifth brother and Niu Gao also came, your father won't let us tell you, give you a surprise. ”

Tang Huai asked again: "We went to your dormitory to look for you in the morning, the door was open, but the person was gone, we looked around in Taixue, but we didn't see you, where did you go?" ”

Li Yanqing suddenly remembered that he should be in the teahouse with his teacher at that time, he secretly called it a fluke in his heart, but fortunately he was not bumped into by these two guys, he explained vaguely: "I went to other Tai students to exchange experience in the imperial examination, but in other people's dormitories, of course you can't find it." ”

Wang Gui stepped forward and whispered ambiguously: "Did you kid find a woman last night, why is there a very good fragrance in your room." ”

Li Yanqing knocked him in the face, "What nonsense, that's the new rouge with magpies, when has there been no fragrance in my dormitory?" ”

"That's right!"

Wang Gui scratched his head, "We thought you couldn't hold it back, so we found a young lady to come back and sleep with you!" ”

The young lady of the Song Dynasty and Li Yanqing's previous life had the same meaning, Li Yanqing gritted his teeth with hatred, so he had to divert the topic and said: "Why are you here, the fifth brother and the old cow?" ”

"Your dad organized a bun-making competition, and a large group of people were competing! Fifth Brother and Lao Niu also participated, and Brother Tang and I came out to buy wine. ”

Wang Gui shook the two jars of wine in his hand, and said triumphantly: "The best sheep wine bought in Gaoyang Zhengdian was bought by us. ”

"Let's go, then!"

Wang Gui stepped forward and wanted to ask, but Li Yanqing kicked him in the ass, "It's okay, Lao Tzu is very pure, how can you be a horny guy, you actually went to Baihualou three times." ”

Wang Gui was called to break the secret, his face was immediately flushed, he and Tang Huai didn't dare to say more, and ran quickly towards the mansion with wine.

As soon as Li Yanqing entered the gate, a noisy and lively atmosphere rushed to his face, and there were at least thirty or forty young men and women in the courtyard, all young people from Xiaohe Township, making rouge powder and so on in the Baoyanzhai workshop, they could not return to their hometown this year, and they were taken over by the big vessel to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

At this time, everyone was in the middle of a steamed bun making competition, and everyone was laughing and joking, and at the same time, they were making steamed buns quickly, laughing and laughing, which was particularly lively.

"Yanqing, why are you here now?"

Li Daqi came over and complained to his son: "Everyone is still waiting for you to write Spring Festival couplets in the guest hall!" ”

Li Yanqing patted his head, "I actually forgot, I'll write it." ”

There were more than 20 guests sitting in the guest hall, all of whom were members of the Tangyin Townspeople Association, and everyone was waiting for Li Yanqing to write Spring Festival couplets for them.

"Don't worry, everyone, come one by one, and finish it soon."

Li Yanqing walked to the table, the red letters on the table had been paved, a plate of thick ink, a good pen, just waiting for Li Yanqing to wave.

Li Yanqing picked up the pen and smiled at Li Gou'er, who was squeezed in front of him: "What do you want to write?" ”

"What can be, as long as it is an auspicious Spring Festival couplet."

Li Yanqing had hundreds of Spring Festival couplets in his stomach, and he immediately wrote: The dragon and phoenix are auspicious and attract wealth and treasure; The turtle and snake offer Rena Fu to welcome spring.

"Good word! Good couplet! ”

Everyone praised unanimously, Li Gouer was very satisfied, and rushed away with the couplet, "Second uncle, come over to you tomorrow to greet the New Year, I'll go and post the couplet first!" ”

Li Yanqing wrote another painting, a thousand branches on Qianhualing; Hundreds of birds compete for spring in front of the people.

won the unanimous applause of everyone again, Li Yanqing kept writing more than 20 Spring Festival couplets in one go, and everyone got one each, and they all left happily.

Li Yanqing finally wrote two couplets for himself: 'Ten years of cold windows, 100 days of hard training, who walks on the gold list; With enthusiasm and pride, our generation of talents won the crown. ’

This is what he is going to paste on the door of his dormitory, Li Daqi secretly admired on the side, his son's calligraphy is strong and strong, compared to Xie Yuan's time and has made great progress, he already has a little bit of everyone's demeanor, and his own words are far from being compared with his son.

At this time, Li Yanqing wrote another couplet: Famous brands are full of three rivers: good goods sincerely recruit guests from all over the world.

"Which of these two couplets does Daddy want?"

Li Daqi looked at it and said with a smile: "Although the first couplet refers to the imperial examination, it can also be hung in Baoyan Zhai, and the second one is hung in Xinqiao store, I want both of them, you can write another one for your family!" ”

Li Daqi smiled and left, Li Yanqing had no choice but to write another picture for his family and let the iron pillar be pasted on the door.......

From ancient times to the present, the highlight of Chinese New Year's Eve is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Daqi ordered three Fumanjin Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Wanbin Lou early, one price is twenty guan, consisting of thirty dishes, chicken, duck and fish are complete, quite famous in Bianjing, but only semi-finished products, need to cook by themselves, Li Daqi invited three chefs at a high price to make a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the young people in the family.

The steamed bun making competition has ended, and the group of Magpie, Yue Fei and Niu Gao won the first place with 152 steamed buns, and the prize was a piece of fine 'beauty fat' soap for each person.

Li Daqi clapped his hands and said, "The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to start, the buns are moved to the backyard to dry, the tables and benches are lifted, and according to last year's rules, the New Year's money is paid first, and then the meal is eaten." ”

Everyone was suddenly excited, everyone started together, and soon the yard was cleaned up, everyone sat at the table one by one, Li Daqi smiled at Li Yanqing and the five people who were standing by the wall watching the excitement: "You also sit in, everyone has a share." ”

When the five of them heard that they also had a share, they were immediately overjoyed and squeezed in and sat down together.

Li Daqi smiled at everyone: "Your parents entrusted you to me and let me take care of you, so you are all my children, as elders, I need to give you New Year's money, but this year's Baoyan Zhai is more prosperous than last year, and of course the New Year's money is a little more than last year." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, but last year they got five taels of silver, how much will they get this year?

At this time, Li Daqi's stepwife Yang walked out with a large plate, she was six months pregnant, holding her belly, quite inconvenient, but the custom must be served by her, Li Daqi sent money, in fact, this is also a reward for the proprietor to the guys under the pretext of pressing the New Year's money.

At this time, the person who got the New Year's money began to exclaim, it turned out to be an ingot of gold, weighing about one tael, which is ten taels of silver, and you can buy a few acres of good land when you take it back to your hometown.

Li Daqi handed the little red envelope to Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and Niu Gao, and the four of them hurriedly got up to thank their uncle for his love, Yue Fei and Niu Gao were especially moved, they had never gotten such a heavy New Year's money, Li Daqi smiled and said to the four: "Don't spend it indiscriminately, save it up and marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

Everyone laughed together, at this time, Li Daqi walked past Li Yanqing, but did not give it to him, Li Yanqing scratched his head, and asked puzzledly: "Why don't I have it, don't I need to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

The courtyard erupted into laughter again, and Li Daqi knocked him on the head and stuffed a red envelope to him, "I started thinking about my daughter-in-law at a young age, I don't want to hug my grandson so early." ”

Li Yanbiao screamed strangely, "The second uncle is happy to come to the door, and the son and grandson are hugging together!" ”

The cheerful laughter flooded the courtyard again, and at this time, a dozen young men who had won the bounty ran to the gate to set off cannons, Tie Zhu hung a big lantern in the courtyard with a few helpers, and the little ladies went into the house to get dishes and chopsticks, and serve wine and food, and in the gray twilight, the courtyard was brightly lit and bright as day.

More than 30 people gathered in front of four large tables, the tables were full of all kinds of sumptuous wine and food, Li Daqi raised his glass and smiled: "In order to prosper next year and succeed in school, we have made this cup together." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted, "Cheers!" ”
