The two hung up the iron sign and entered the house.
Li Qingxian took out a large number of magic talismans, pasted them everywhere in the room, and then distributed them to the four people.
"These talismans are used by our Night Guard officers. Keep them close to your body to protect your safety and don't let anyone know about them. Sister, these are the talismans I specially prepared for you."
As he spoke, Li Qingxian handed over a yellow talisman with blue edges and red lines, and said: "This talisman paper is a pair, and the other piece is on my body. If there is something big or urgent at home, you can tear open the talisman paper and I will be able to sense it immediately.
arrive."
"Okay!" Chen Xiang curiously took the talisman and placed it carefully close to her body.
Zhang Fang joked: "My younger brother still feels sorry for my older sister."
"Where's mine?" Chen Yuanpeng walked over with his neck straightened.
"What the hell. After a while, when I have free time, I will take you to the academy, martial arts hall, Daolu Department and other places to see if you have any good talent. If so, I will send you away directly and let you have nothing to do at home.
I just know how to play.”
"Mom, brother bullied me again!" Chen Yuanpeng was so frightened that he hid behind Zhang Fang.
Zhang Fang rolled her eyes at her son, looked at Li Qingxian, and asked eagerly: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course, it's a piece of cake."
"But the tuition fee..."
"I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything, don't worry." Li Qingxian said.
"Qingxian is really promising. This formation is exactly the same as when my brother-in-law was young. If my eldest sister could see you like this, she would be extremely happy..." Zhang Fang said with red eyes.
Chen Xiang said hurriedly: "Mom, aren't you going to go to the Sauce Pork? Are you going to let me eat the Sauce Pork Rice in a Bamboo Tube?"
"Yes, yes, look at my pig brain..." Zhang Fang turned around, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and quickly made the sauce.
Chen Yuanpeng walked over cautiously, twisted his hands together, raised his head and whispered: "Brother, from now on I will never scold you behind your back again. From now on, my sister will be your sister. Can you please not send me away?"
Li Qingxian sneered: "This is the punishment for scolding me!"
"You bully people...wow..." Chen Yuanpeng ran into the house wiping his tears.
The three of them couldn't laugh or cry. The two of them had been quarreling since childhood, and neither of them spared the other.
Li Qingxian glanced at Chen Zhu, and went over to help him get things. Chen Zhu walked with a limp, but he was extremely quick at work. Whether it was carpentry or cooking, he was famous far and wide.
As evening approached, Chen Zhu took out the grilled bamboo tube rice and steamed bamboo tube rice respectively and placed them on the table. The aroma of rice, meat, and bamboo mixed together, and filled the small courtyard with the steam.
A family of five sat around the stone table in the yard, with four smiling faces and only one arrogant.
Li Qingxian glanced at the little boy and said, "Look at your face, it's almost drooping on the top of your feet. Smile, call me brother, and give you some candied haws."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Where do you get the candied haws... reeds in this summer?"
Chen Yuanpeng opened his mouth wide, and a bunch of bright red candied haws appeared in Li Qingxian's hand, with transparent sugar coating and shining hawthorns.
"Brother!" Chen Yuanpeng jumped off the stool, looked up with an extremely sincere smile, and swallowed hard.
Li Qingxian handed it over.
"Thank you, brother!" Chen Yuanpeng's voice was clean and crisp, and he started to eat the candied haws in his hands.
"Is this true, not a trick?" Zhang Fang asked curiously.
"Really, I can eat this treasure no matter how long it is kept." Li Qingxian said.
"Tsk, tsk, I've learned a lot..." Zhang Fang tsk-tsk in surprise.
Li Qingxian suddenly looked out and said loudly: "Uncle Zhou, let's have a meal together and recognize my family by the way."
Several people were startled and didn't know what was going on.
After a while, the door creaked open and Zhou Hen walked in.
The Chen family hurriedly got up.
Li Qingxian finished introducing each other and had dinner together.
Zhou Hen had no expression on his face and only ate and picked vegetables.
Chen Yuanpeng stared at the large diagonal scar on Zhou Hen's face, licked and gnawed the candied haws in his arms, and after a while he said, "How handsome!"
At the end, I added: "At first glance, he is a hero on the road!"
Zhang Fang was startled and told Chen Yuanpeng to shut up.
The little child was happily chewing on the candied haws.
Zhou Hen didn't speak, while Li Qingxian chatted with his aunt, uncle, and sister while eating.
The three of them were all curious about Li Qingxian's recent situation. Li Qingxian thought about it and then chose some less scary things to talk about.
After hearing this, Chen Yuanpeng gave a thumbs up and said: "Nice!"
Li Qingxian frowned and said, "Who did you learn it from?"
Zhang Fang stretched out her hand and patted Chen Yuanpeng's shoulder gently, scolding: "Don't learn from me! Don't use bad words in the future."
"Oh." Chen Yuanpeng lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
After the meal, Li Qingxian brought out some good tea, and everyone drank tea and chatted.
Chen Yuanpeng was tired in his mother's arms, listening to the adults chatting with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Fang hugged Chen Yuanpeng, looked at Li Qingxian and said: "Qingxian, you are about to celebrate your 16th birthday, what should we do? Logically speaking, you shouldn't do anything big this year, but you have just become an official, and you are all dressed up
The illness coincides with the 16th day of the lunar month, so according to the rules of my hometown, I must have a grand celebration."
Li Qingxian said: "Our house leader will help with this matter. It's not a big deal, but it's not a big deal. In my opinion, I'll invite some friends from the street patrol house, only a dozen people. In addition, I'll give it to the Li family in Beijing and
My father sent me an invitation from some old friends. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. We should be there as a courtesy. Other relatives are in my hometown and I can't notify them. I will invite a few more friends. I estimate that there will be thirty or forty people and the four tables will be as big as the sky.
We can fit it in this yard."
"What about the neighbors..." Zhang Fang asked.
"I'm only sixteen, so there's no need." Li Qingxian said.
Li Qingxian suddenly realized that this was an old custom in Daqi. After the age of sixteen, even if you are an adult, you can talk about marriage. The birthday banquet should be held in a grand manner to show off the family's wealth and pave the way for future marriages.
Li Qingxian said: "Please invite the neighbors the next day, otherwise it will be a mess."
"Okay, let's split it into two days." Zhang Fang said.
Chen Zhu said: "I think you should just make a list today so that you can be prepared."
"Right."
Li Qingxian took out a pen and paper and said, "Little Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou probably won't be able to come back on my birthday."
Zhou Hen said: "I can't come back."
"Oh, it would be nice to have Uncle Zhou here. He knows who to send invitations to. As soon as I mentioned it, I really don't know whether I should send it to him. Just like the envoy in charge of the guard, the relationship seems not to have reached that stage yet, so why not send it?
, and not very good.”
"Why are you usually so shameless? Why don't you send the invitation this time?" Zhou Hen said calmly.
"Haha..." Chen Yuanpeng laughed, and when Li Qingxian stared at him, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Li Qingxian nodded and said, "Why don't you just write more. At the worst, you can set up an extra table and sit down when people come. If you don't come, it won't be a waste."
Li Qingxian slowly wrote his name.
The guard in charge cowards the king...
Li Qingxian frowned and asked: "Little Uncle Zhou, what is the name of the Commander-in-Chief?"
Zhou Hen thought hard for a while and said slowly: "You can just call me Lord Commander."
"Listening to your words is like listening to your words." After Li Qingxian finished speaking, Chen Yuanpeng laughed.
It would be better if I didn't write. Once I write, I can't stop at all.
