Nine hundred and fiftieth chapters keep the year old
"Crack!" The bamboo was thrown into the fire, making a harsh sound.
The entire palace and even the entire Chengdu Mansion were filled with the sound of firecrackers. In the days before gunpowder, people would throw hollow bamboos into the fire, believing that the sound of the popping bamboos could drive away the terrifying Nian beast and protect the future for the coming year.
peaceful.
In order to be able to fight the Nian beast at any time, people have to stay up until dawn, waiting for the last night of the year to pass and welcome the dawn of the new year.
Although there was no gunpowder in this era, which meant that there were no gorgeous fireworks and crackling firecrackers, the lively atmosphere was quite lively. One after another red lanterns were hung at the door of the house, like blazing flames.
People talk around the fire at home at night. No matter whether this year brings joy or suffering, no one can stop them from enjoying the warmth of reunion at this time.
Li Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground to correct official documents, not because he had a hobby of sitting on the floor, but because the "floor heating" of this era - that is, the earth dragon, was as powerful as that, so the place close to the ground was warm.
If you stand up, you can still feel the slightest chill. Of course, another reason is that the winter of the Little Ice Age was colder than the global warming period no matter what.
Xiao Xiang held a piece of snack in his mouth, lay on the ground, and dangled his white feet: "Sister Yuchi, get down here, get down here!"
"No, if you go here, you will expose your flaws." Yuchi Chifan frowned slightly and carefully looked at the chessboard. Among the four people, she was the only one who could draw with Lechang, but she had to be careful.
Lechang was not panicked, but it seemed that she was somewhat worried and did not urge her. Instead, she was thinking about something herself.
"Pa" Yuchi Chifanluozi.
However, Lechang didn't react, and she didn't react until Xiao Xiang called her.
"You are not allowed to eat while lying down," Li Xingchen came over at some point and reached out to lift Xiao Xiang up. "I have told you so many times."
Xiao Xiang nodded aggrievedly, but there was a high probability that he would not change despite repeated admonitions. Li Xingchen glanced at the absent-minded Lechang, sighed in his heart, sat down and put his arms around Lechang: "Do you want me to help Le'er make suggestions?"
"Not good!" Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan said in unison.
This guy is not good at chess, and his chess quality is also poor. He will lie every time he makes a mistake. If someone doesn't let him, he will have to do it at night. Of course, Xiao Xiang doesn't want to see Li Xingchen's "ugly" face, and Yuchi Chi
Fan didn't want to put himself in a dilemma.
Lechang forced a smile: "It's okay, husband, don't worry."
"We won't worry if he helps you." Xiao Xiang muttered and was rewarded with a brain adze by Li Xingchen. He immediately covered his little head and came to Lechang's side, "Sister Le'er, you see, husbands know how to bully others.
"
Lechang gave Li Xinchen a helpless look, and Li Xinchen snorted: "Since having you and Fan'er, this girl has become more and more unscrupulous."
Xiao Xiang was not like this at the beginning. He was at a loss when he met Li Xingchen. How could he have the courage to challenge Li Xingchen's authority so many times. But Li Xingchen also knew that this girl was young after all and her mind was not yet mature. Once she became aware of Li Xingchen and Lechang's group,
There is no malicious intent, so naturally I no longer pretend to be an adult.
Lechang smiled and protected Xiao Xiang: "My husband keeps saying that Xiang'er is young, and young people should have a young mentality."
Li Xinchen took advantage of Lechang's lack of reaction and placed a heavy seal on her lips. Lechang was shocked and ashamed, but Li Xinchen reached out and tapped Xiao Xiang's forehead: "This is your punishment for protecting this little girl."
Xiao Xiang said with a smile: "My husband, what you said is wrong. This is obviously a reward."
Lechang finally couldn't help it anymore, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xiao Xiang's squeaky nest. The two of them laughed and rolled into a ball. Li Xingchen spread his hands, it was really a plastic sisterhood, and then his eyes fell on Yuchichi.
On the body.
"Husband?" Sensing Li Xinchen's unkind gaze, Yuchi Chifan shrank subconsciously.
"It's a long night and I'm bored sitting around, let's play a game, okay?"
"What do you want to play, husband?"
"Stretch out your hand," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "Here, two little bees, flying among the flowers, pop, pop..."
Looking at Li Xingchen's pouted mouth, Yuchi Chifan felt like a little sheep under the paws of the big bad wolf.
————————————
"Dong Qi." Xiao Xiang yawned, pulled the quilt, and lay on Li Xingchen's lap.
"Dong Qixia, you are a little fool." Li Xingchen laughed loudly. In his hand, he held a "East, West, South, North" that he often played with when he was a child. He hadn't folded it for such a long time. I didn't expect that he still remembered it. At this time, it became a relief from boredom.
method.
Xiao Xiang stretched out his hand and pinched Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen dodged accurately and said with a smile: "You obviously said it yourself."
At the moment, Li Xingchen stopped entangled with the little fool and looked directly at Lechang next to him: "Le'er?"
"Go south three times."
"Ha, I'm telling you the truth." Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, while Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan beside him also became energetic.
Lechang looked at Li Xingchen with a bitter face: "Why are you telling the truth again? Are you lying to me?"
Li Xinchen innocently put "East, West, South, North" in front of her and repeated it. It was "the truth". Lechang thought that what he had just drawn was the truth. In order to demonstrate, Li Xinchen directly asked her what she usually likes best.
What color was the obscene clothes he was wearing? Lechang was so ashamed that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"It's Xiang'er's turn, Xiang'er, please ask." Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Xiang's perky little butt, then whispered in Xiao Xiang's ear. Xiao Xiang gave Li Xingchen a cute look and asked seriously:
"What's your favorite posture, sister Le'er?"
"What?" Lechang was stunned for a moment and didn't react. Seeing Li Xingchen's evil smile, he understood instantly and his pretty face turned red, "What's the problem!"
"You can just say it." Li Xingchen waved his hand pretending to be impatient.
Lechang glanced at Li Xingchen, "Obviously it's what you want to know, okay? This girl Xiao Xiang is really helping others to do evil: "No, let's find another one."
"Yes, sister Xiang'er, let's change it." Yuchi Chifan was also afraid that this problem would fall on him again later.
Xiao Xiang was suddenly attacked from both sides. He glanced at Li Xingchen dissatisfiedly, and then said with a smile: "Okay, sister Le'er, do you want a boy or a girl?"
Although this question is also very exciting, it is much better than the previous one. Lechang hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Xingchen faintly: "I have to ask my husband about this."
"It's all good, it's all good." Li Xingchen smiled awkwardly.
Without holding on to Lechang, Xiao Xiang suddenly fell down weakly again, while Yuchi Chifan pondered for a moment: "Ten times west."
"A big adventure!" Li Xingchen's smile became more and more evil. (To be continued)
