After sitting for a long time, the lights are all off, and I look up at the Beidou tilting;
The children were forced not to sleep, and they stayed together all night chattering.
Compared with the rituals of the wizards, they are very similar to those of the white men.
The so-called "Datong" means lighting the New Year's Fire, and the family sits together to watch the New Year's Eve all night until dawn. The whole process is almost exactly the same as Bai Ding's ancient ritual; while "Xiaoyi" means that the wizards' New Year's Fire can really be dispelled.
Evil avoids plague, and the Nian beast is also a real magical monster.
Of course, in modern times, especially in places like Phuket Island where wizards gather, the so-called Nian beast is just a magical creature with weird behavior. Many wizards will even go to the wilderness or lakeside to wait, just hoping to catch a glimpse of this already very special creature.
Rare, legendary magical creatures.
Zheng Qing was celebrating the New Year in the Wizarding World for the first time, and he inevitably felt a little curious in his heart.
After coming to the wizarding world, if he had any childhood wish, besides the little mermaid he could keep in the bathtub, it would probably be the 'Nian Beast'.
He has always been curious about what this legendary monster looks like. Although there are images of them in the school library, as the saying goes, 'what you see on paper will always be shallow', and the descriptions in the book are separated by a piece of paper.
There is some feeling of unfulfilled feelings.
But considering that he had just been attacked by a crow and had not yet fully recovered from the sequelae, and that he had broken cups and plates, crushed tables and chairs, and caused accidents one after another all night, the young public-sponsored student was very wise and did not raise any infractions when he stayed up late at night.
As requested, he stayed at the table obediently, just poking the napping Poseidon from time to time to ask her to open her eyes and not to let her beautiful big tail be scorched by the flames of the lamp.
The entire Qingqiu Mansion will be lit up all night tonight.
However, the Suihuo lit in other rooms are Gubulai fairy fires hanging on the walls and corridors. Only in the hall where everyone gathers, the Suihuo is a small oil lamp.
Although the lamp is small, its flames are very bright. The big green fireworks burn quietly on the oil lamp, and the blooming light fills the entire room, releasing one after another magical radiance with the power of blessing.
The maids in the mansion do not need to work tonight. They are wearing loose uniforms and gather together in twos and threes. They sit cross-legged on the sofa and read quietly, or sit in front of the small coffee table and play checkers. There are also those who have a quick temper and simply return to their foxy attire.
The true form of the clan was chasing and playing among the tables and chairs with its big tail wagging, and it was a great time.
Zheng Qing was sitting among a group of foxes, and his ears were full of warblers and birds. Everywhere he looked, there were all kinds of big fluffy tails, which made him feel the desire to secretly grab them.
“Tail-pulling is worse than hair-pulling.”
Su Shijun easily noticed the impatient look in the boy's eyes and warned in advance: "If you get scratched all over your face because of this, don't blame me for not warning you."
scare!
A blue little fox heard the witch's warning and jumped to Zheng Qing's feet very actively. Its soft fur exploded like a ball of blue marshmallows. At the same time, it made a threatening sound in its mouth. It was already stunned.
Poseidon, after hearing this voice, immediately became energetic again, flicked his tail, and chased the little green fox to play.
Zheng Qing had no reason to believe that the little green fox was Su Ya.
"How could..." He laughed dryly, watching the two little foxes chasing and playing, and pulled the blanket covering his legs, as if this could slightly conceal the thought of pulling the fox's tail in his mind.
Snap.
A stack of red envelopes was thrown into the boy's arms by Su Shijun.
"If you feel bored, you can prepare lucky money for everyone first." The witch didn't know what she thought of, with a happy expression on her face: "According to convention, everyone in the mansion, including Dongdong, has lucky money."
I don't know if it's an illusion.
After Su Shijun said the three words "New Year's money", Zheng Qing felt that all the foxes in the room glanced at him secretly, their eyes sparkling, and in conjunction with the bean-sized green flame in the center of the coffee table, they gave him a slap for no reason.
A little cold war.
"New Year's money...?"
Zheng Qing was a little caught off guard by this word - before today, in his inherent impression, he was still the one who collected the new year's money - but immediately, he thought of his 'identity' in Qingqiu Mansion, and when he woke up, he felt deep in his heart
He also had a strange feeling inexplicably, as if this extremely ordinary-sounding thing represented the end of a certain stage in his life.
"How much do you give?" The boy was inexperienced and could only whisper to the witch who gave him the red envelope.
Su Shijun was holding a copy of "Fragments of Sera Yinno" and reading with gusto - ever since she learned that Maodou served as Poseidon's personal servant, she had developed a strong interest in the Tindalos Hounds and rummaged through a lot of information related to it.
Books——Hearing this, he tilted his head and looked at the boy, blinking his eyes very innocently.
"Me? What do I give?"
She did not hide the surprise on her face at all, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her tone: "You are the man of the mansion, okay! By the way, I also have a share of the new year's money!"
Zheng Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
He had reason to suspect that the witch was eyeing his small treasury. At the beginning of next month, that is, March 1st, the first batch of five blood rune bullets that Zheng Qing gave to the Three-Chased Sword would be delivered, and before that, the wealthy
The Bureau of Investigation has already transferred all the money into the boy's account at Sam Chase, and is not afraid of him defaulting on the payment.
When he went to Sanyou Bookstore to find someone a few days ago, Zheng Qing quietly sneaked into the Sam Chase branch in Beta Town, took out the first batch of 750 jade coins, and put them into his own gray cloth bag.
There is no other reason than that the heavy weight makes people feel at ease.
Just like now.
Although he knew that Su Shijun wanted to tease him, those jade coins clattering in the gray cloth bag gave the boy great confidence to ignore such small tricks.
"Yes, they are all!" He waved his hand cheerfully, took out a jade coin from the gray cloth bag, and stuffed it into a red envelope without feeling distressed at all.
Based on the number of maids in front of him, he felt that he could celebrate the New Year every week.
At this moment, Miss Su's faint voice came to my ears: "Generally speaking, whether it is a copper coin or a jade coin, when sealing the New Year's money, nine coins will be sealed. Because the nine coins coincide with the nine stars, and the nine stars are the nine.
Controls the good, bad, and misfortune of the world...Of course, ten of them are also good, they are perfect."
Zheng Qing immediately stopped what he was doing.
Although the jade coin was very hard, he was worried that even if he was in a turbulent mood, the jade coin would not be able to withstand his out-of-control strength. Then he lowered his head and glanced at the red paper seal in his hand and the gray cloth bag beside him, and sighed heavily.
Naturally, it is impossible for Qingqiu Mansion to give its maid a pile of copper coins to celebrate the new year.
Golden beans are a bit tacky.
Zheng Qing felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought that the jade coins he had not kept warm would flow into other people's pockets.
