The New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until very late.

Although they are two families, the three little maids and six girls who just settled in the pharmacy, only Chen Xi is a boy, who is really strong and yang is weak.

The family was very happy to eat this New Year's Eve dinner. After dinner, they did not fall asleep immediately because they had to stay up to the New Year. Instead, they gathered in the back of the pharmacy shop and roasted the fire with a small brazier. Hui Niang sorted out the accounts, and Zhou Shi sewed and repaired them. As the king of children, Chen Xi continued to talk about the Dream of the Red Chamber that he had not finished talking about.

There are so many listeners, and the natural atmosphere is much more lively.

At first, Hui Niang and Zhou thought that no matter how exciting the story of the child was, it was just those strange things that could not be heard.

But after listening to the passage, Hui Niang and Zhou couldn't help but concentrate, and even stopped working in their hands, and focused on listening to the interesting Grand View Garden.

Even when Chen Xi talks about exciting places, Hui Niang occasionally asks a few questions, which makes Chen Xi speak more and more detailed. Even the encounters of maids such as Yuanyang, Qingwen, and Si Qi, who were not originally intended to say, as well as the relationship between the Jia family, Xue family, Shi family, Wang family and other families, and how they go from prosperity to decline.

If it was an unintentional person, he would definitely listen to Chen Xi's story as a pastime, but Lin Dai has completely integrated into the story. Following Lin Daiyu's joys, sorrows, and happiness in the story, his expression has changed constantly. Among the three maids, the taciturn Xiaoyu may be feeling his life experience and his eyes turn red.

After the story enters the middle, although it still describes the wealth and glory of the Grand View Garden, it already feels like the setting sun is about to end.

At this point, even Chen Xi felt that he could not continue to tell, so he decided to shelve the paragraph "Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript and cut off her infatuation, Xue Baochai came out of the boudoir to become a great gift." Not to mention some interesting parts, such as Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, Baochai pounced on the butterfly, Xiangyun drunkenly lying, etc., to supplement the contents of the contents.

Anyway, this story was first told by him. The original author Cao Xueqin will be born for at least two hundred years. No one is competing for copyright with him. He can say whatever he likes.

The drum beat three times. Hui Niang got up and looked at the sky. Then she asked Chen Xi to go to the backyard to prepare two firecrackers that had been prepared long ago. When it was late, she would take them to the street to set them off.

Although this is a bit boring, it is much more lively than before. Lu Xier is young and has fallen asleep in Hui Niang's arms before she can. Hui Niang hugged her back to the room and lay down. When she came out, there were already vague sounds of firecrackers outside.

Hui Niang smiled and said, "Xiaolang, you are the only man in the family. I will leave the firecrackers to you."

Chen Xi looked at Xiu'er, who was much taller and stronger than him, and said reluctantly: "Isn't it good to let Sister Xiu'er go?"

Hui Niang smiled and explained: "It's the best thing you can go. I hope you will grow up healthily next year without illness or disaster. In addition, you are the only one at home to study, I hope you will be successful in your studies and let your mother live a good life soon."

Shenxi no longer refuses this time.

Yi's family happily came to the street outside with firecrackers. They didn't have to find a place to hang it up, but just put the firecrackers on the ground. Chen Xi covered his ears with his hands and took the incense to light the fuse.

Amid the crackling sound, the flames reflected on everyone's smiling faces.

Lin Dai smiled and covered her ears. Xiu'er, Ning'er and Xiaoyu looked very happy.

After setting off the firecrackers, it was time to change the peach talisman.

Peach Talisman appeared before the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Chinese New Year, two peach wood boards hung on the left and right sides of the gate, painting or engraving the ghost-subduing immortals "Shen Tu" and "Yulei".

How did the "Tao Fu" evolve into Spring Festival couplets? According to Huang Xiu, a native of the Song Dynasty, in Maoting, in the Wu Dynasties, every year of the Shu Palace, each of the palace gates gave each other a pair of Tao Fu, and the four words "Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen" were mentioned. At that time, the prince of Shu was good at writing and writing, and "good at writing and writing", and wrote the eight words "The sky hangs in the sky, and the earth connects to Changchun" on the peach talisman of Ce Xun Mansion in this palace, "I think the beauty of lyrics and calligraphy". It is generally believed that this is the earliest Spring Festival couplet in China.

In the Song Dynasty, according to the Five Elements Records of the Song Dynasty, every New Year's Eve, "I ordered Hanlin to write the poem to the peach talisman, and place it on the right side of the sleeping door." Mengliang Record also records that "peach talisman is nailed and changed to the spring card" on New Year's Eve. This kind of peach talisman is the original form of the Spring Festival couplet. The Zhou Mi Guixin Miscellaneous Records of the Song Dynasty recorded that Huang Qianzhi wrote the peach talisman as: "How to have a new year? Anything good is good." Inscription of Spring Festival couplets on peach talisman gradually developed into a popular fashion.

In the current Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Spring Festival couplets written on paper have long replaced the inscription on the peach talisman, so in a sense, the peach talisman is also Spring Festival couplets.

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi and said, "I originally thought that I was going to the Spring Festival couplet stall to ask someone to write Spring Festival couplets as soon as the year was approaching. I didn't want the traitor to make trouble, and I couldn't find anyone to write this everywhere. Xiaolang, you are the only scholar at home, so I will leave this to you about writing Spring Festival couplets. You have to write it neatly and it's good to hang it out."

Shen Xi nodded with a smile.

It is not the first time he wrote Spring Festival couplets. He often wrote them in his previous life. Classmates, friends and colleagues at work knew that he wrote well and asked him to write ink every New Year. Thinking of this, Shen Xi couldn't help but feel sad. After all, he was a rebirth, and many things felt like he had been in the ocean.

It is difficult to write a good Spring Festival couplet. Strictly speaking, a good Spring Festival couplet can combine reality and describe the background of the times, but after all, it is just a good start. Shen Xi wrote with a pen and said, "Good luck and blessings are coming, and the God of Wealth is here." When he forgot to finish the pen, the words are not stagnant at all. He brought grass in the line. Where can a little baby write it?

“It’s so beautiful.”

Zhou was very happy to read it, "Let me give it to Niannian, what is it written on it?"

Shen Xi stammered and said, "This one is not well written, so write another one."

Hui Niang next to her smiled and said, "Although Xiaolang's handwriting is a bit sloppy, it is very neat, with good luck and a good omen of wealth and glory, just hang it like this."

Shen Xi felt a little embarrassed.

Hui Niang didn't know how to appreciate calligraphy, and thought that his words "bringing grass in the line" were written in a sloppy manner, so that good characters could be written with at least twenty years of calligraphy attainment. If they were hanged out, they might have problems when they were seen by those who knew the profession.

However, Shen Xi was not very worried. After all, Ninghua County is located in a remote area and doesn’t know much about the mystery of calligraphy. Just write a picture and replace it with it in the morning.

The drums were ringing everywhere, which meant that the ugly time had arrived. Now it was the New Year. Everyone finally ushered in the most critical New Year greetings during the night watch.

Hui Niang was very happy and gave everyone a red envelope. She also fulfilled her promise and gave Chen Xi a big red seal. The heavy hand was taken. Chen Xi couldn't help but touch it, and it looked a bit like the golden leaves sent by a big merchant who came to fuck acne before.

Unfortunately, Chen Xi had just returned to his home in the back alley. Before he could open it to see what was inside the red seal, his red envelopes and Lin Dai were "confiscated" by Zhou. The name was for custody.

"Go in and go to bed. I will have to go to the pharmacy door to wake up tomorrow morning and sweep the red paper of firecrackers on the ground." Deputy Zhou Yi looked as if he were aware of his own, and put the red envelope in his arms.

"Mom, aren't those good luck? Why do you need to sweep?"

Zhou scolded: "The little brat doesn't want to work and find a reason. Who says it's a lottery? If you ask you to scan it, go and scan it. Don't be too long-winded. It's getting late, go to bed!"

Chen Xi stuck out his tongue and got up with Lin Daiyi inside.

Chen Xi just took off her clothes and got into the quilt. Lin Dai ran in and said mysteriously: "I saw my mother buy new clothes from us before. Will there be new clothes to wear tomorrow morning?"

Since Lin Dai told Chen Xi about her thoughts, her attitude towards Chen Xi has improved a lot, and she took the initiative to tell Chen Xi the secret she saw.

Chen Xi yawned and said, "Don't you know when you wake up tomorrow morning? Today, my throat is almost hoarse. Go to bed quickly and recover. You can sleep too. If you can't get up tomorrow morning, my mother will scold you."

This time it was Lin Dai's turn to stick out his tongue.

She was not sleepy. The family was busy and sleepy. She had long since disappeared. Lin Dai wanted to come back and listen to Chen Xi's "opening a small kitchen" to tell her the story of the remaining Dream of the Red Chamber, but who knew that Chen Xi insisted on going to bed, and she was a little unhappy.

But thinking that Chen Xi did say that he was very tired at night, Lin Dai still didn't wake him up after all. He closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point.
