Chapter 128 The custom at the beginning of the year: New Year greetings to Miss Su
Bang~bang~bang~bang!
Fireworks bloomed again in the sky above Zhe Mansion, and Zhe Xinyi and others below were admiring it. Although it was no longer as shocking as the first time they saw it, they still felt extremely gorgeous
Wu Yong's family was also there, and they did not refuse the invitation to enjoy the fireworks together.
Bang~ bang!
Another burst of fireworks bloomed in the sky, this time it was not over Zhefu, but in another place.
Looking at that location, there is no doubt that it is where the imperial palace is.
After the fireworks ended, Zhe Junyan took out a Go chess set, waved to Li Miao and said, "Sanshui, come here and play a game of chess with me."
Li Miao: "..."
Does he know how to play Go?
However, Zhe Junyan didn't know it. Seeing his expression was different, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with this?"
Li Miao said: "Uncle, how about we try a new way of playing?"
Zhe Junyan was slightly startled and asked: "New gameplay?"
Zhe Xinyi, who knew Li Miao very well, didn't know that Li Miao didn't know how to play Go. However, she was more or less interested in the new gameplay he mentioned, so she didn't expose it.
"That's right, a new way to play."
Li Miao said: "It's called Gomoku."
Immediately, he explained all the rules of backgammon.
Such unbelievable tactics made Zhe Junyan stunned and said uncertainly: "Is there such a way to play?"
Li Miao said bewilderingly: "Uncle, this way of playing is very fun, and it is also very simple and easy to get started. Do you want to play a game now and give it a try? I guarantee you will like this way of playing."
Hearing this, Zhe Junyan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
So, a fight began.
Zhe Liu, the steamed bun-faced maid and others also gathered around curiously.
After all, it was the first time for my father-in-law to try this new way of playing. Even though Li Miao deliberately let go, he was still defeated in a short time.
It wasn't until the sixth set that Li Miao obviously let off steam, and my father-in-law finally won a set.
"Ahem... As we get older, we feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time."
My father-in-law coughed a few times and stood up from his seat.
He really doesn't have much interest in this kind of backgammon that is "insulting to politeness".
He was not interested, but the people watching on the sidelines were interested and were already itching.
No, when she saw him leave his seat, his mother-in-law immediately took his place.
Although Zhe Xinyi didn't say anything, Li Miao suddenly understood what she meant by the look in her eyes: she wanted to play.
Li Miao: "..."
By the way, he just got excited.
"Xinyi, do you want to come and play too?"
Li Miao forced a smile on her face.
Zhe Xinyi thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded.
Li Miao: "..."
Seeing Myolie and Xiuhe looking ready to make a move, Li Miao suggested that whoever wins can stay in his seat, and whoever loses should give up his seat to the next person. Naturally, this was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Agree.
However, what makes Li Miao feel a little incredible is that the little maid Xing'er actually showed great talent in backgammon. After one round, she killed everyone without losing a single match.
Seeing the smug look on her little round face, Li Miao decided to take action to give her a defeat and tell her a truth: You should not be proud and complacent.
Then, under Li Miao's disbelieving gaze, he lost.
"Master Li, you lost!"
Myolie showed a proud smile, and then extended her chubby hand to Li Miao.
To add a little more fun, a copper plate was added as a bet.
Li Miao put a copper plate on her little hand with some depression, and then said unconvinced: "I was not prepared just now, it was my carelessness, let's have another round!"
Myolie naturally doesn't care, but Xiuhe is unhappy.
She said dissatisfiedly: "Master Li, it's my turn!"
……
On the second day, it was still dark.
After Xing'er knocked on the door and vowed not to give up until she achieved her goal, Li Miao was finally willing to get out of the bed.
"What to do? It's still dark!"
Li Miao opened the door in a drunken state. They had played very late last night before returning to their respective rooms to sleep.
Myolie muttered: "Master Li, you promised last night to help us light the firecrackers this morning."
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Li Miao was startled for a moment, then glared at her: "I agreed, but it's too early!"
Myolie said: "It's not too early, other people have already lit firecrackers."
"Nonsense! Someone there would order it so early..."
Bang~~ Bang~~
A burst of crackling firecrackers came from not far away.
Li Miao: "..."
"Ahem...then let me get a plate of water to wash my face."
"Master Li, I have already prepared water for you in advance."
Myolie brought out a plate of water from the side like a magic weapon.
Li Miao: "......"
It was clearly arranged.
By the time they arrived at the gate, Zhe Xinyi and Xiuhe had already hung the red firecrackers above the gate, waiting to be lit.
Before Li Miao could speak, Zhe Xinyi threw a fire stick at Li Miao.
The meaning is obvious, it’s time to light up the firecrackers!
So, Li Miao came to the bottom of the firecracker and opened the firecracker.
The two little maids quickly covered their ears.
Thunder bang~~ bang~~
The new year has begun, and it is as prosperous as these firecrackers.
After the firecracker, several juniors took turns to greet Zhe Junyan and Zhe Liu, and send some words of blessing. Zhe Junyan and Zhe Liu smiled and gave everyone a big red envelope.

Next, it’s time to eat dumplings.
This dumpling is a little different from ordinary dumplings. It is often wrapped with a copper plate, and whoever eats it means good luck in the new year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Li Miao originally wanted to step forward to help, but Zhe Liu refused. She served a bowl of dumplings to everyone one by one.
There is no doubt that everyone ate a copper plate from their bowl.
Li Miao looked at her smiling mother-in-law in surprise.
Can you still play like this?
At the same time, he also understood why his mother-in-law didn’t let him help serve the dumplings just now.
After eating the dumplings, Mrs. Zheliu poured a glass of wine for everyone.
This wine is called Suijiu. It is yellow in color and has a medicinal smell. It is made from medicinal materials soaked in wine. It means to bring good fortune and avoid disasters. This is similar to the ancient Chinese pepper and cypress wine and Tusu wine.
Jiaobai wine and Tusu wine were almost extinct in the era Li Miao lived in, and are rarely seen again. Therefore, this is the first time Li Miao drank this kind of wine.
The taste was not very friendly to Li Miao personally, but under Mrs. Zheliu’s smiling eyes, he could only drink it all without leaving a drop. Then Mr. Zheliu moved away with satisfaction.
His eyes fell on Zhe Xinyi, who had not yet finished drinking.
Zhe Xinyi, who was about to pour the old wine in her cup to Xing'er: "..."
