Tang Shijin was convinced: "I really don't want it."
"No! I have to!" Tao Chengqi stood up and lied: "We must sworn sworn friends! If you don't swore sworn vows with me, I will go out and cry! Jin'er, good Jin'er, just make sworn vows with me, Jin'er, Miss Jin, Lord Jin...
...Lei'er, hurry up and persuade your sister, don't you like me? Don't you want to have a good-looking big brother like me?"
Yan Baiwei stood up and pulled him: "Cheng Qi, stop making trouble!"
Tao Chengqi pushed him away: "Get out of the way, I won't bow to you!"
He forced the two of them to kneel down, facing the sky outside the door, and began to say: "Today, Tao Zhiya, Tang Shijin, and Tang Shilei became brothers with different surnames. Since then, they have relied on each other in life and death, supporting each other in times of adversity, and heaven and earth bear witness.
Not inconsistent!"
Tang Shijin was a little dumbfounded.
It's not that she hates him, or that she doesn't trust him, she just always thinks it's funny to be sworn in, and so many of her friends don't do this.
But seeing Tao Chengqi's serious face, she was also affected by it. After thinking about it, she followed: "Today, Tang Shijin and Tao Zhiya became brothers and sisters with different surnames. They support each other in life and death, support each other in times of adversity, and will never go against each other."
Brother Lei also said it seriously.
The three of them kowtowed solemnly.
This scene was so solemn and solemn that even Yan Baiwei didn't notice. Far away outside, stood a well-dressed young man with a handsome face. He turned out to be Hua Lang.
Everyone else had arrived, looking at this scene, hesitating for a while but still didn't come in.
Until they finished their sworn vows and closed the door, he still didn't come in.
After a long, long time, just when he turned around to leave, he saw a mountain of meat moving over. He was holding a stick of firewood he picked up from an unknown house, and the flesh on his fat face twitched uncontrollably.
Muttered curses.
Hualang's expression was slightly condensed, and when he got closer, he heard him say: "If you dare not support me, you will die, Tang Shijin, I will burn you to death, I will burn you to death..."
He wanted to set a fire? For Tang Shijin?
Hua Lang thought for a while and walked directly towards him.
Tang Shijin and the others were noisy until after midnight, when they dispersed.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is said that at the fifth watch, the owner of the house will get up, set off firecrackers, and open the door.
As a result, everything was straightened, and there was still no movement from the bottom. The big brother who had forced himself into the position was sleeping like a pig, and he couldn't wake up even if he was pushed.
Yan Baiwei had no choice but to come down first and throw a bunch of bamboo into the fire in front of him, making it crackle and explode. Then when he opened the door, he had to throw the door stubble in the air three times.
Great wealth.
As a result, he had finished throwing all the items here, and Tang Shijin came out with confused eyes, then ran over and hugged the bamboo tube and shouted: "Yan Baiwei! Good luck in the new year! Big brother! Good luck in the new year! Am I the first to say it!"
Yan Baiwei laughed out loud.
He said: "Yes, you were the first to say it."
Tang Shijin was stunned, and when he looked back, he found that he was standing in front of the firewood gate, reflecting the light of snow and fire. He was tall, long-legged, and extremely handsome. He smiled and said to him: "Jin'er also has auspicious New Year, good luck in the New Year, and good luck in the New Year."
Big fortune!"
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Same hair, same hair!"
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people drink pepper and cypress wine, which is made by soaking Sichuan peppercorns and cypress branches in the wine to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. They also have snacks, that is, dumplings.
Then the newly minted eldest brother gave each of them a one hundred tael silver note.
However, Yan Baiwei, an "outsider" whom they were friends with, wanted to give them lucky money, but their eldest brother forcibly refused.
Since he and Tang Youde had long been divorced, there was no need to worry about it. After dinner, Tang Shijin took Brother Lei to pay New Year's greetings to He Lizheng, the head of the He family, and He Ganlin, and then asked the Tao family's coachman to help with the journey.
Get in the car and go to Zheng Mansion and Luo Mansion in the county to pay New Year greetings.
As for her, Yang Pengxiao, Ruan Ci and people from the small wine shop came over one after another to say hello. After that, several groups of children came. Yang Pengxiao grabbed the jujube and walnut candies without hesitation and filled the small pockets for the children.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yang Pengxiao went back to the food hall to set off firecrackers and start work. Only a few people came, and He Yuanxiao went over to help.
But after the second day of the Lunar New Year, when I walked to my mother-in-law’s house, there were more people, and the number of people grew day by day.
However, everyone is still more accustomed to stocking up on goods before the end of the year, so the sales volume is not that large. Tang Shijin is not in a hurry, and there are still some sales.
It was not until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that He Yuanxiao found some time to come over and play. When he heard that the three of them had become sworn brothers, he immediately became envious: "It's great, why haven't I met a brother like this who comes to my door?"
He asked: "Brother Yan, why don't you say goodbye together??"
Yan Baiwei twitched the corner of his mouth.
He really wanted to get together at the time, but he was a cautious person by nature, unlike Tao Chengqi who thought about it all at once, and for a moment of hesitation, people would have already knelt down and finished their worship, and no one wanted to wait for him.
But before he could answer, He Yuanxiao said: "Oh! I know, look at Brother Tao, Jin'er, and Lei'er, they are all so good-looking, they look like they are dear to each other at first glance. If you want to worship me too, you will be surprised at first glance.
It doesn’t look like a kiss!”
Yan Baiwei: “…??”
Tao Chengqi laughed loudly.
But when he said this, Tao Chengqi looked at both of them carefully.
None of the Tang family members are ugly, not even their scumbag father and scumbag brother. Tang Shijin and brother Lei are even more good-looking, and all three of them are cold-skinned, with sharp noses, big eyes, and bright eyes and white teeth.
They are quite similar together.
However, Yan Baiwei has a honey-colored skin, thick black sword eyebrows, narrow phoenix eyes, and a resolute face. His style of painting is indeed completely different.
Tao Chengqi laughed and said: "I'm so smart, I even expected this! All the people in my family are very powerful, so it's only right not to call them Bai Weibai!"
Yan Baiwei: "..."
On the fifteenth day, Tao Chengqi said that he would take them to the county town to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and they could also stay at Taozhai for one night.
So Tang Shijin asked He Yuanxiao and He Shishi to look after their home. The four of them got on the carriage and followed Tao Chengqi to the county seat.
Tao Zhai has a housekeeper, his surname is Lin. He follows Tao Chengqi all the way around and takes care of things. He is an old servant.
After Tao Chengqi said this, the housekeeper immediately came with his servants to pay homage. He called her Tang Xiaoniang and Tang Erlang. His attitude was very respectful, but his eyes were obviously wary. This title also had some meaning.
Tang Shijin didn't care much about their attitude, he would just stay for one day anyway.
The four of them went out to play together in the evening.
Although Wutong County is small, it is also very lively on the Lantern Festival night. There are people who play Shiban. Shiban is also called Shifan. It is played with ten instruments made of silk, bamboo, leather, wood and gold, so it is called Shifan.
The rhythm is very cheerful and festive, and it is very atmospheric.
There are also people who play the Taiping drum, that is, boys beat the drum. There are two boys, one leads the rope slightly, winding it like a white light wheel, and the other jumps the light rope. This is called "Tiao Bai Su". There are also many women.
People will walk together at night to eliminate diseases, which is called "walking around all diseases".
The four of them watched the juggling for a while, and then went to guess lantern riddles. With the Peach Talent plug-in, he basically just pointed at which lantern he wanted. Anyway, there was nothing he couldn't guess.
