Chapter 234 New Year's Eve(1/2)

Qi Younian posted the couplet and was standing on the ladder and trying to jump down, he heard Mrs. Ji say his steady words.⊥, and he immediately retracted the leg that was about to jump down, climbed down from the ladder step by step.

Getting off the ladder, Qi Younian smiled at Old Lady Ji and Mrs. Ji Er, while secretly approaching Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, I'm still stuck in this couplet..." Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang in a low voice. He was on the ladder just now, and he was pasted with the couplet that he had completely listened to Ji Xiaotang's instructions. However, at this moment, he seemed to be worried that the couplet would not be stuck in the eyes of Old Lady Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.

"This is the first time I posted a couplet." Then, Qi Younian said quickly again, as if explaining why he was so nervous.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that the little marquis of the Weiwu Marquis’ Mansion has never posted a couplet. I think it should be what the saying goes, “The ten fingers are not touched by the spring water” at home.

When Qi Younian saw Ji Xiaotang, he also laughed twice.

"The couplets at home are posted by the servants and girls."

This is true for ordinary families, but the Ji family has never been like this.

"My couplet was written by my grandfather before, but now it was written by my father. Like the old lady's house, my mother's house, and the back house, there were never a couple that needed to be posted by his servants. My father also posted it, and later it was my uncle."

"My uncle even took me to post, and my grandmother and mother praised me for posting the best." Ji Xiaotang said this and smiled again, "Ayou posted it well, look at how much grandmother and my mother like it very much."

Qi Younian looked at Old Lady Ji and Mrs. Ji Er, and they all looked at her with a smile, with a very happy and loving smile.

"It's cold outside, so I'm about to sit Nuannuan in the house... How can I work Lord Qi to do such a thing? It's all Xiaotang, a child, is too cramped." Mrs. Ji Er said with a smile.

Qi Younian followed everyone to sit in Old Mrs. Ji's house.

"It's something that doesn't matter to Xiaotang, I have to do it myself. I haven't had the chance to do such a thing since I was a child. This is the first time today. I think this New Year is more interesting." Qi Younian's eyes were curved, and he accompanied Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.

Changsheng was placed on the ground. At first, he saw Qi Younian still stranger, but now he is getting familiar with him. He is obviously liked and curious about Qi Younian, and he tentatively walked towards Qi Younian.

As Qi Younian spoke, he saw Changsheng walking towards him, his big eyes shining brightly, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to Changsheng.

Just a little bit of kindness is enough for Changsheng. Changsheng walked to Qi Younian, stood on Qi Younian's legs, and placed his little hand in Qi Younian's palm.

Changsheng rubbed Qi Younian's palm.

The men who come into contact with the most in Changsheng are Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.∮, Master Ji Er is a scholar. Although Master Ji San learns martial arts, he also learns halfway through his journey, and no one is like Qi Younian.

There were obvious calluses in Qi Younian's palm, which was simply too novel for Changsheng.

"Uncle...Brother..." After playing with Qi Younian's palm for a while, Qi Younian was gentle and patient. The closer Changsheng became to him, and raised his head and tried to call him.

I don’t know if I should call Qi Younian as my brother or uncle. Obviously, Changsheng is very smart. He compared Qi Younian with Master Ji San and Xie Huaijin.

"Brother." Qi Younian immediately gave Changsheng a positive answer.

Before Mrs. Ji and others could speak, Changsheng began to call Qi Younian as his brother in a silly voice.

Qi Younian was very happy and picked up Changsheng and let him sit on his lap.

"This child is so familiar and doesn't admit to giving birth." Mrs. Ji Er smiled.

Qi Younian looked at Changsheng carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Ji Xiaotang was leading the little girl to bring the peeled fruits up. When he walked to Qi Younian, he happened to see this scene.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Xiaotang, did you look like this when you were a child?" Qi Younian replied quickly.

Changsheng just raised his face at this moment, with a round and fleshy bun face, a small nose and a small mouth, and a pair of watery big eyes.

Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er once said that Changsheng is almost exactly the same as Ji Xiaotang when he was a child.

Looking at the fat white balls on Qi Younian's legs, Ji Xiaotang quickly turned his face away.

"How could it be!" Ji Xiaotang said briefly and walked away immediately.

Qi Younian's eyes were bent again, and he couldn't help laughing. How could he not understand Ji Xiaotang's attitude? Sure enough, Master Ji San was telling the truth. Ji Xiaotang was another immortal when he was a child.

Not only does he look, but his temperament is also very similar.

Qi Younian hugged Changsheng, Changsheng lowered his head, and his dense and long eyelashes flashed twice, as if it was flashing into Qi Younian's heart, making him feel itchy in his heart. The more different Changsheng was, he couldn't bear to let go.

Sitting in Mrs. Ji's house for a while, Ji Xiaotang said that she would continue to post couplets elsewhere. This time, without Ji Xiaotang's words, Qi Younian volunteered to experience the fun of the New Year.

Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er could only instruct their subordinates to serve them carefully, and also told Qi Younian not to freeze himself.

Qi Younian just laughed. Such weather was just ordinary to him.⊥,

Ji Xiaoyun was in a good mood today, but she was always weak and refused to go out again. Changsheng was attached to Qi Younian and had to follow him. As a result, Ji Xiaotang had to take care of Changsheng's wet nurse and others with him.

This team of couplets is very spectacular.

Everyone went from Mrs. Ji Er's yard to Madam Cheng's Yixia House, and then walked a few more places to Ruyi Garden. When they were posting to the library, Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er came with Ji Xiaoyun in a sedan chair.

It turned out that the couplets were so lively that Old Mrs. Ji and others knew about it, but they were worried about immortality, so they couldn't sit still in the room and came out to join in the fun.

The library posted a couplet written by Qi Younian himself. When Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er knew about it, they couldn't help but praise it again. After the couplet was posted, they walked back in clusters.

"This is great," said Mrs. Ji Er quietly. Although it was a severe drought, the Ji family was also affected by a considerable impact. Master Ji San was not at home and Ji Xiaoyun lived a widow, but the New Year was not deserted, and it was more festive and lively than in previous years.

Mrs. Ji Er thought this was an atmosphere deliberately created by Ji Xiaotang to make everyone happy.

Ji Xiaotang just laughed.

"Mom, although there are some bad things, if you think about it carefully, we have more good things."

As Ji Xiaotang said, he counted the good things that happened to Mrs. Ji Er one by one.

"My sister is still sensible now. Isn't this a good thing? She is strong and smart and cute. Although her uncle is not at home, she goes out to experience and does great good deeds, which is also a good thing."

In addition, there are many others, such as the Mu family and the Ji family, and the Mu family father and son were promoted to the title. News also came from Master Ji, who was afraid that they would be promoted after the New Year...

"Although we have survived all the natural disasters, we are getting better and better. This year is about to live happily," Ji Xiaotang said at last.

"You are right. Think about it carefully, that's the case." Ji Xiaotang's words immediately made Mrs. Ji very happy.

Mrs. Ji Er went forward with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang was a little behind, and Qi Younian was walking slowly behind with Changsheng in his arms. It turned out that Changsheng picked Qi Younian and refused to let the wet nurse hug him, but only wanted Qi Younian to hug him.

"Shame." Ji Xiaotang was ashamed of immortality.

Ji Xiaotang often teases Changsheng like this, and Changsheng naturally understands that he is not embarrassed at all, but instead giggles happily and proudly.

"Why did the couplet I wrote disappear? Ayou, did you see it?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian again. She remembered that the couplet she wrote was also taken out. She originally planned to post it on Yixiaju. But when Yixiaju, she couldn't find it. The one posted it was written by Master Ji Er.

Qi Younian smiled but said nothing.

"Ayou, did you see it?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Qi Younian still refused to answer, and deliberately teased Changsheng.

Ji Xiaotang was helpless. She could be sure that the couplet was put away by Qi Younian.

"I only realized that the little marquis and Qi Daqianhu are still very good at cheating." Ji Xiaotang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Qi Younian still smiled but said nothing. He was like this, and Ji Xiaotang really had no choice but to do anything to him.

...

The New Year’s Eve dinner was arranged in the house of Mrs. Ji. The ground dragon was burning in the house, which was as warm as spring. Mrs. Ji was in great interest today. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, she asked someone to put tea and fruits on it, so she left everyone in his house to stay up to the New Year.

When Mr. Ji heard Mr. Ji say this, he hurriedly stood up and asked Mrs. Ji and others to accompany Mrs. Ji, and he wanted to go out to see him. Mr. Ji was going to go out at this time, and the victims in the shantytown must be the ones who wanted to see.

On New Year's Eve, the cold wind outside was biting, and water dripping into ice. Old Mrs. Ji felt sorry for Master Ji Er, but she also knew that Master Ji Er's temper was not very hindered.

"Wear more, go and go back quickly." Old Mrs. Ji asked Mr. Ji Er to do so.

"I'll go with my dad." Ji Xiaotang stood up and said, the room was warm, Ji Xiaotang was wearing only a jade-colored kesi gray squirrel robe with waist-hugging. While she said this, she asked the little girl to go and take out the big clothes she wore outside.

Qi Younian stood up at this time.

"I happened to accompany Lord Ji for a walk. Xiaotang didn't have to go at this time. He just worried about the victims. It would not be too late to go there another day when it was dawn."

"Then let Ayou go with me, Xiaotang stay and talk to your grandmother and your mother." Master Ji Er made the decision.

"Okay, Daddy, Ayou, you go and go back quickly. Everyone is still waiting for you to come back to set off fireworks." Ji Xiaotang said without arguing.

Master Ji Er and Qi Younian both nodded, and while wearing big clothes, they asked the people to take some food, charcoal, firewood and other items, they went out to the back street of the county government office.

"Go and have some things to send. Those people are pitiful. I just hope that God will open my eyes and the scenery will be better next year. They will all go home to live." Old Mrs. Ji said.

Mrs. Ji Er nodded.

Not only Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er have this idea. At this time, most people inside and outside the court and the country also made them think that this natural disaster is only temporary and will improve next year, and everything will be fine by then.

When Ji Xiaotang heard Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er say this, she echoed, in order to make the two feel at ease. But she knew very well that the situation next year will not only not improve at all, but will also be even worse than this year.

The reason why she tried her best to make everyone happy and lively today is because she herself was not sure what would happen next year's New Year's Eve.

Where will they be at this time next year? Are all the people who are smiling at this moment still there?

Ji Xiaotang sighed slightly in his heart, and immediately calmed down his mind. The smile on his face remained unchanged from beginning to end. At the same time, he took Changsheng to Mrs. Ji and asked for the peeled fruit from Mrs. Ji to eat.

Changsheng didn't want fruit, so he pointed to the frozen persimmons on the big red agate plate and insisted on eating that one.

"It's too cold. How old are you, I'm afraid you can't stand it." Old Mrs. Ji said.

Changsheng twisted up and must eat frozen persimmons. He never did this with Master Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Er, and Ji Xiaotang. He only did this with Old Lady Ji, because he knew that Old Lady Ji would never talk about him anyway.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head and wanted to talk about immortality, but thinking about it was New Year's Eve, it still made his heart weak.
