Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao have returned from their parents' homes, and Yang Liushi has also visited those former sisters and redeemed several of them.
And Wei Changtian didn't just stay in the Wei Mansion all day. He not only took the time to go to the "Beijing News" "newspaper office" to find Li Yang, but even went into the palace to chat with Ning Wenjun.
Although the huge mystery hidden behind Chu Xianping has not yet been solved, life cannot go away.
Besides, Wei Changtian has experienced this kind of thing a lot before, so he doesn't have a strong sense of urgency now.
Just wait for the news from Li Zimu.
If Li Zimu failed to find out, then it means that Chu Xianping is awesome and outsmarted, and there is nothing to say.
It has to be said that Wei Changtian's mentality has been trained to be as stable as an old dog, and he will no longer be irritable just because he can't figure something out.
And since he acted so calmly, Wei Xianzhi didn't take this matter too seriously, and the others didn't even notice the slightest difference.
So in this way, Wei Mansion ushered in New Year's Eve in a joyful atmosphere.
...
...
On New Year's Eve, the whole capital became lively early.
In fact, such a scene has not happened for two years.
Ever since Wei Changtian traveled through time, Daning has suffered from internal strife and foreign wars one after another. Later, even the emperor was replaced. It can be said that it has never calmed down for a moment.
With the political situation in turmoil, the people's lives are naturally not much better, so how can they still think about celebrating the New Year?
It wasn't until a year ago, when the four-nation coalition forces were repulsed in Dangganhuijie, that the people of Daning could live a stable life and finally be able to recuperate.
Although it will take some time to return to the prosperity of Daning in its heyday, at least everyone no longer has to worry about no work or food to eat. After a year of hard work, they can more or less save some money, and finally have some ideas.
Have a good year.
If you don't have much money left, ask your husband to write a few Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters on them and stick them up to wish for a good sign of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.
If you have more money on hand, buy a few firecrackers and have a blast.
The afterglow of the setting sun sheds the last orange light, and the chimneys of each house are filled with hot smoke. Children wearing new clothes chase and play in the streets. The sellers carrying poles have closed their stalls early and are on their way home.
When meeting familiar customers, they would smile and say "see you next year".
The joy of the world has once again filled this thousand-year-old city, demonstrating the powerful resilience of mankind.
At this moment, the hilarity in the Wei Mansion was naturally even worse.
Red lanterns were hung high, and people were coming and going everywhere in the house.
There are servants to do the cooking and cleaning, so of course Wei Changtian and others just need to "sit back and enjoy the results".
However, in order to "have fun with the people", Wei Changtian did not do anything, but held a "large-scale" devil-fighting competition today.
There were 103 participants in the first "Changtian Cup" Demon Fighting Competition, divided into two groups: A and B.
Group A includes the ladies and gentlemen including Wei Changtian, Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, etc.
Group B consists of all the servants and maids in the Wei Mansion.
The competition starts at noon and ends before nightfall.
The three finalists from Group A are "The Big Devil" Wei Xianzhi, "Living Yama" Wei Changtian, and "Humanity Card Recorder" Zhang San.
Of course Zhang San didn't dare to win, and Wei Changtian also wanted to betray his father. They both let it slip, and in the end Wei Xianzhi won the Group A championship.
The championship of Group B was won by a little doorman.
Wei Changtian waved his hand and directly awarded the doorman three hundred taels of silver, making the latter faint from happiness.
The others didn't get nothing, they all received reward money according to their ranking, and the minimum was one or two.
If you give out hundreds of taels as a reward at once, the Wei family will not notice it, just treat it as a Chinese New Year to make everyone happy.
Only Comrade Xiao Xu felt a little distressed.
But this was not Shuzhou, and she couldn't make the decision, so she could only watch the pieces of silver ingots being taken away, and the aggrieved look on her face made Wei Changtian overjoyed.
In this way, in the atmosphere of "everyone is happy, Comrade Xiao Xu is sad alone", a crescent moon hangs on the branches, and dishes one after another are served on the table.
There is no doubt that this is the most lively meal in this mansion so far.
During the dinner, Liang Qin was praised by Qin Caizhen as an "example", so much so that Liang Qin couldn't stand listening anymore.
And Qin Caizhen was really "looking forward to her grandson eagerly". After praising Liang Qin, she pretended to be drunk and directly "assigned" the task of giving birth to the other three women, "ordering" Lu Jingyao, Xu Qingwan and Yang Liushi to give birth within a year.
Pregnant inside.
The three girls looked at me and I looked at you, and they all nodded with blushing faces. Qin Caizhen then gave up and started planning Wei Qiaoling's marriage.
The latter was only ten years old and did not understand the word "marry" very well. When he asked about the benefits of getting married, he asked if he could stop practicing Falun Gong.
Qin Caizhen said no.
Wei Qiaoling said that I don’t want to get married.
Qin Caizhen had no choice but to lie to her, saying that if she could find a powerful husband, she wouldn't need to practice.
Wei Qiaoling said that I want to marry my eldest brother.
Wei Changtian spit out a mouthful of wine after hearing this, and Qin Caizhen was so angry that she wanted to hit Wei Qiaoling.
But considering the New Year, she finally held back and patiently told Wei Qiaoling that this was impossible.
Wei Qiaoling asked why.
Qin Caizhen couldn't think of the reason for a while, so she had to use her eyes to ask Wei Changtian to explain.
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and immediately gave the answer - you are too young.
After hearing this, Wei Qiaoling muttered, "I will grow up in a few years," and then put the matter behind her.
Xu Qingwan and others subconsciously looked down. Among them, Yang Liushi's expression was the most proud...
Make a pot of fire and roar the bamboos, keep the rice cookers open and listen to the singing of peppers.
All things welcome the spring and send off the remaining wax, and the year ends tonight.
On New Year's Eve, thousands of families reunited and tens of thousands of households rejoiced together.
Fireworks cover up the bright moon, and laughter fills the room with the aroma of wine.
The banquet is over, but the laughter has not stopped.
Wei Qiaoling led Achun, Agou, and a group of servants and maids to set off fireworks in the courtyard.
Everyone in the main hall drank tea and chatted, not talking about military and national affairs, but only talking about family affairs.
Before you know it, midnight has arrived, and the sound of firecrackers in the capital has reached its most lively level. There are a lot of crackling sounds, and there seems to be a child's cry of "New Year" mixed in among them.
"Brother Changtian, it's so lively. I have never had such a lively New Year's Eve."
Standing in the courtyard, looking up at the fireworks above his head, Liang Qin was wearing a red cloak and his cheeks were rosy.
Wei Changtian smiled, turned around and looked at the rest of the crowd, then left the crowd and walked to Zhang San who was standing in the darkness.
"What's wrong?"
"Son..."
Zhang San's expression was very complicated, something Wei Changtian had never seen before.
"What's going on? Just tell me."
The smile in his eyes faded little by little, and Wei Changtian already had some premonitions in his heart.
"yes......"
Zhang San's Adam's apple squirmed, took a deep breath, and answered softly:
"A quarter of an hour ago, Miss Li came back with a message."
"It is said that on the second day of February, the secret of ascending to immortality will appear in Fangcun Mountain in the Central Plains."
"Miss Li also said that if her guess was correct..."
"Chu Xianping and Master Qin are on their way now..."
