Chapter 275 The New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve this year for Xu Fengyuan, in fact, it is very sinful, because Xu Weixiong sent word, Qingliang Mountain, all the Spring Festival couplets have to be written in his own handwriting, there can not be a duplicate, the size of the couplets, a total of three hundred and sixty-five, which does not include the word “spring”, “blessed! ” two words, this Xu Fengyen had to ask for help from Song Dong understand Yu and even Wang Chudong, to come to the content of the more than three hundred spring couplets, compiled into a booklet, resting on the desk, copy is. Due to the death of Xu Snapdragon less than three years, should continue to use the white background of the spring couplets, but Xu Weixiong said that this year with a red background, although Xu Fengyen is reluctant, but even his aunt Zhao Yutai also agreed with the second sister, Xu Fengyen can beat two Cao Changqing Deng Tai’a, but can not beat the two of these two, can only be obediently resigned to their fate.
So Xu Fengyen started early in the morning in the wutong courtyard second floor of the writing, Lu Chengyan aside grinding, Wang Chudong help cut rice paper, Xu Fengyen’s three disciples, Lu Yunchang in the study to stay a incense incense did not come to the can’t stay up, ran out to look for the Yu Xinshenrang sparring martial arts, alone from the north of Mang back to the north of Liang’s eldest disciple Wang Sheng is calm down the nature of the heart, to the younger sister Wang Chudong playing hands. Only Yu Di Long this little kid disappeared, the room people know, now the Beiliang officialdom, especially the Youzhou border, almost all military generals know the young king of the feudal lords “help the wall and walk” allusion, I do not know is Yan Wenluan or Chen Yunzhui off the cuff, for the king of Beiliang took a “Xu second! I don’t know whether it was Yan Wenluan or Chen Yuntui who came up with the nickname “Xu the second” for the king of Beiliang, so as to show that there is still someone in the world who can win over the young king of the clan, as for who beat Xu Fengyen on which battlefield, the gloating veterans don’t care. Yu Di Long, who was unaware of the trouble he had caused, just returned to Qingliang Mountain from the Youzhou Pass, and gave his smiling master a shout to the secluded back of the mountain, the master and disciple did not come back together, only to see that the young feudal king was refreshed for a few minutes, and the boy showed up after a long time, his nose was bruised and swollen and his face was full of aggression, and he sat in the pavilion of the lake in the Listening Tide Pavilion for half a day sulking, and he was called out to have dinner but did not pay attention to it, and finally, it was Lu Chenyan, the great mistress herself. This big mother personally, only to hold the child’s hand to eat a full meal, devouring when the child is still afraid to complain to the big mother, said the master beat him for no reason not to mention, but also his time to practice closed-mouth Zen as a mute, Yu DiLong asked the mother of their own in the end what is wrong, LuShengYan look at the eyes of the children of grudges, her heart of that little resentment also disappeared for the child to support and said do not care about you! Master, in the future, if he wants to take it out on you, he will run to find the master. To Xu Fengnian beat into a pig’s head Yu Di Long smiled and said good grin, teeth grinning, and then continued to bury his head to eat, the child felt that the eldest mother temperament is really good, the master blessing is better.
Xu Fengyen wrote nearly three hours, after writing, but also to go to the end of the stool to move the ladder to paste the Spring Festival couplets, in addition to the past Xu Snapdragon personally paste the couplets of more than a dozen places, such as the old mansion, the royal gate, Wutong courtyard, and listen to the tide of the pavilion and so on, the Spring Festival couplets of these places Xu Snapdragon has always been in person, and the rest of the door pillars are handed over to the House steward underlings. Xu Fengnian let Wang Sheng called Lu Yunchang and Yu Dilong, let the teenage girls to help set up ladders and stools, and look at the Spring Festival couplets are not pasted askew, and every time the posting of the word of blessing, will let the three disciples shouted “blessed”, shouting Wang Sheng will be a bit more subtle, but look at the expression of the young girl know that the girl is very sincere and sincere, Lu Yunchang the scribbling to cope with the most, Yu Di Long voice is the loudest. Lv Yunchang was the most careless, and Yu Di Long was the loudest. In accordance with the old rules, the last of the Spring Festival couplets at the front door, after finishing Xu Fengyen hand holding the big bowl of rice milk, looked at the sky, looking at the end of the street, yellow barbarians and Yang Guangdou Chen Xiliang and other people should almost return.
The three disciples did not waste their energy, they all got an extra spring couplet, Xu Fengyen did not ask them what they were going to do with it, but roughly guessed that Yu Di Long must be giving it to that big scout who died outside the pass, and asked someone to take it to his house. Lu Yun Chang this heartless guy, no doubt is to take to the great snow dragon cavalry of a general lieutenant slipping, as for the body more and more drawstring like a normal girl Wang Sheng, perhaps only used to collect no other use. Xu Fenian suddenly asked with a smile, “Master’s character, how is it?”
Lu Yunchang immediately playfully said: “Iron painting silver hooks, dragon flying phoenix dance, into the wood, the weather million ……”
Xu Fengyen frankly all the disk to consume, and finally waited until the teenager is really a dog’s mouth can not spit out new ivory, smiled and said, “You can speak human language.”
The teenager immediately whispered inquiring: “Master, to no longer write me a chant?”
Xu Fengyen said playfully, “It’s good to go into a temple to burn incense and pay respect to the Buddha, but if you have to go into every temple and worship the Buddha, then it seems insincere. In the official world, one person is willing to give you ten points of force, than two people to help you out three or four points of force, in fact, better.”
The teenager thought with his heart and nodded vigorously.
Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at Yu Di Long, who shivered in fear and cried out, “Master, what now? I haven’t spoken to anything except for Grandmistress!”
Xu Fengnian snorted coldly, handed the child the porcelain bowl in his hand, and for no reason said, “Count your kid lucky.”
Yu Di Long was a bit stifled, but did not dare to speak.
Xu Fenian looked into the distance, Lu Zu, Gao Shulu, Liu Songtao, Li Chungang, Wang Xianzhi, then he Xu Fenian, later maybe Xuanyuan Qingfeng, then Yu Di Long’s turn.
In his Xu Fengnian is expected to be truly invincible in the world, appeared on the land towards the immortal list of Xie Guan Ying, should be out of the world should be out of the time, one thing down, following the old way of heaven, if Xie Guan Ying is unbearable, there will also be a Hong washed elephant for the sky, just the latter did not pay attention to it. Wait until the Yu Di Long Wang Sheng Lu Yun Chang this set of young people came out of nowhere, think there is no such thing as a celestial, right, people on earth war on earth, each according to their ability not based on the past life, their own bombardment, or success or failure, or death or life. But now, after all, has not been a real celestial forever, there is the so-called heavenly will, Xu Fengyen intuition in the future to be able to fight with Yu Di Long, not only have, and very likely to come from the East China Sea, as for the end of the who, Xu Fengyen is not interested in, and the Yu Di Long side of the Wang Sheng Lu Yun Chang, not surprisingly can only be Li Chun Gang leading the way that era of the Wang embroidery Fengdu green robes of the stream, or is the age of the Wang Xianzhi Deng Cao Changqing of Wang Xianzhi’s era. However, Xu Fengyen still hoped that Yu Di Long at that time, especially the day when he was not alive, would not become a wild horse in heaven and earth, but would have his heart attached to a “Wang Xianzhi” or “Xu Fengyen” who was completely free from the bounds of qi suppression, if he had no fear and only knew how to run amok. A “Wang Xianzhi” or “Xu Fengyian” without any bounds of fortune to suppress them, if they have no fear and only know how to act recklessly, it will be a disaster.
Oh girl came back this time, relayed a number of inexplicable words, both the Huang Sanjia wine words, but also considered the last words of Huang Longshi, sounds very nonsense, the old man has died said that the future of the world, it will be very interesting, ordinary people can also be “Royal Sword Flight”, towards the tour of the North Sea and twilight of the Cangwu, a day between the four seas of the realm, and even on the sky! Picking stars under the sea fishing for the moon, but also said that everyone is a reader in the future, a year read the book, may have to be more than the current Confucian saint turned over a lifetime of books, but unfortunately, the future of the reader is not really a reader, only counting the book people, the books read, but also non-sage books, and will not see the wise and wise, the so-called will be the heart than the heart, change the flavor of the many people who do not want to do heroes, they believe that there are no heroes in the world, will be other people’s Throwing his head and spilling his blood as a fool, the martyr’s generosity to the death of the moment to forget …… that seem to live in the world is very interesting, in fact, lost many sages in the world immensely hope that the next generation will be able to inherit the things. So he Huang Longshi willing to die in the present, die in this world, here into a shovelful of yellow earth.
Jianghu, Lu Zu is not willing to pass the door of heaven, Li Chungang is not willing to ascend, Wang Xianzhi is willing to lose to him Xu Fengyian …… temple, Zhang Julu does not leave the way back, Qiyanglong resolutely out of the mountain, Tantan Weng “love stacks do not go” … …
Maybe it’s all because they’re in the same category as Huang Longshi.
They live by death.
Xu Fengnian gently sighed, reached out and rubbed his eldest disciple’s head, smiled and softly said, “Since you have a quick living sword, you have to live a quick and happy life, don’t be like …… some people.”
The young girl, after all, grew up, and this intimate action of her master made her blush a little.
Lu Yun Chang suddenly ghost shouted, “Master, actually Wang Sheng likes you, really, the blind can see it!”
The young girl who temporarily did not carry those six or seven swords on her body snapped and killed, with the white fox child face walked that trip to the northern mang thousands of miles, the young girl’s sword cultivation soared, as of now it is already the highest cultivation among the three disciples, just the young girl’s mind is manifested here, fighting with Lv Yunchang, isn’t it an acknowledgement of Lv Yunchang’s statement? But do not hear and ignore, the young girl also can not hold that breath. Fortunately at this time a hoof on the street helped her out, it was master’s younger brother, the main general of the Dragon Elephant Army, Xu Longxiang, who returned to the state capital from Liuzhou, Xu Fengyen left a sentence as he walked down the steps, “Di Long, practice with your master’s younger brother, how master beat you up yesterday, how you beat him up, as long as you don’t delay the New Year’s eve dinner.”
Yu Di Long froze for a moment.
Lu Yun Chang, who had the brightest brain, had long since run into the king’s mansion and shouted, “Fighting is fine, allow me to get my weapons!”
Yu Di Long hurriedly handed the porcelain bowl to Wang Sheng, whose cheeks were scarlet, and went to intercept Lu Yun Chang. Wang Sheng again lowered his head and returned the bowl to Xu Fenian, whispering, “Master, I’ll go too.”
Xu Fengnian held the bowl and said helplessly, “You three could at least take the stool ladder back.”
Huang Barbarian seemed to be a bit wary when she saw Xu Fenian, Xu Fenian handed the bowl to Chen Xiliang, then grasped Huang Barbarian’s shoulder with a smile, and the next moment Xu Longxiang’s body slid all the way through the snow on the side of the street, stirring up countless snowflakes.
Reminiscent of the year, the Xu family sisters and four brothers, every snow, Xu Fengyen most like to throw the thin and weak Huang Barbarian child into the snow, happy, and will even lift the Huang Barbarian child’s feet, upside down in the yard, poking a head-sized holes in the ground, write a big Xu character, wait until the big success, Xu Fengyen crossed his arms, bold, Huang Barbarian child is sitting in the snow naive and silly smile, standing in the eaves of the house The older sister Xu Lihu who is watching the scene will definitely clap her hands, or else she will be laughing, and the precocious Xu Weixiong will skim his lips and pretend to be disdainful. Because Xu Weixiong is also not very happy to accompany the three of them fooling around in the snowball fight, so Xu Fengyen and his big sister had to let Huang Barbarian as a target to stand at the base of the wall, the two of them than who throw snowballs are more accurate, whenever Xu Fengyen smashed snowballs accurately on the head of Huang Barbarian, the one who laughed most happily was not Xu Fengyen, but rather, it was Huang Barbarian, and at that time, Xu Weixiong would roll his eyes.
Chen Xiliang was dumbfounded, Yang Guangdou, the assassin of Liuzhou who had spent more than ten years in Qingliang Mountain, was old and calm, and had long since seen this.
Soon Xu Longxiang ran to Xu Fengnian, without saying a word, squatted down and put his brother on his back, look at the situation is to run from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain before giving up.
Dumplings on New Year’s Day, is Xu Snapdragon’s rule, when Wu Su was alive, it was her and her two daughters together to make dumplings, Wu Su died, especially the eldest daughter married far south of the Yangtze River youngest daughter traveled far away to study, are Xu Snapdragon single-handedly organized.
This year’s dumplings, Zhao Yutai, Xu Weixiong, Lu Chengyan, Wang Chudong, it is these four women who made the dumplings.
This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, or Xu Snapdragon’s rules, women do not leave the table, so in addition to Xu Fengyen and Xu Longxiang, Wang Sheng that three disciples, and near the water of Xu Beihuan and Song Dong understand Yu, as well as far away from Chen Xiliang Yang Guangdou and other people, a good big table are full of people, a rare scene of bustle.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it was the New Year’s Eve vigil.
Xu Fengyen walked alone to the entrance of the Royal Palace lobby, in the center of the main seat set up two chairs, Qingliang Mountain Royal Palace, or Xu Fengyen most people criticize a place, is that when he was young in the Xu Snapdragon with the North Liang bigwigs deliberations, he, the son of His Royal Highness, sat in Xu Snapdragon’s seat with a big grin, and Xu Snapdragon can only smile smilingly sitting on the side of the chair, and also never feel anything is wrong. Xu Fengyen stood at the entrance of the lobby, looking at the dozens of old chairs placed in order on the left and right, and then looking at the two chairs, lost in thought. Then very soon the old steward Song Yu moved to a large stove, wooden frame fireplace gap hanging a small poker to fiddle with the charcoal, Xu Fengyen held over the stove, placed in the center at the foot of the two chairs, crouched down and began to skilfully fiddle with the charcoal that had just been a little red light. The matter of observing the New Year’s Eve is a man’s business, even if Xu Snapdragon is a famous wife’s husband under the sky, this matter is not negotiable, of course, the old Princess Wu Su will never fight with Xu Snapdragon on this kind of thing, marrying into the old Xu family, Wu Su is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, and she never says anything about the old rules of the old Xu family. When Xu Fengnian squatted in front of the fireplace, Xu Longxiang also carried two large bags of charcoal into the lobby, to observe the New Year’s Eve until dawn, adding charcoal to the fire is indispensable, the two brothers squatted together, Xu Fengnian said softly: “In the past to observe the New Year’s Eve, I’m prone to sleepiness, and Xu Snapdragon has never had the consciousness of a good man who never mentions the year’s courage, and likes to be broken, and I’m not able to make it through the night after the night, and you’re also going to follow me out of here. So it’s always Xu Snapdragon who stays here alone, now that I think about it, Xu Snapdragon is all alone, it’s quite pitiful, Huang Ban Er, don’t you think so?”
Xu Longxiang nodded.
Xu Fengnian asked again, “What do you think Xu Snapdragon would be thinking about when he sits here at this time of the year?”
Xu Longxiang shook his head.
Xu Fengnian hesitated and said to himself, “When Cao Changqing was in Tai’an City, he told me that I could go to Xichu after the first of the year and pick up someone, but I don’t know how to open this mouth, second sister may not agree, your two sisters-in-law will definitely have a lump in their hearts whether they agree or not, not to mention Yan Wenluan Gu Dazu’s set of great generals, yes, how can a military matter be a child’s play? Northern Liang in the Guanwai war dead so many people, after all, is to die for the Northern Liang, but if you say accompany me Xu Fengnian go to Guangling Road trip muddy water, risking the world’s great injustice, in the end, what is the matter? Even if I were to be stubborn and take the identity of the King of Northern Liang and press them, I’m afraid that before the next Liang-Mang war is even fought, our Northern Liang itself will already be centrifuged.”
Xu Longxiang fell into deep thought, not like when he was a child, no matter what the sky is big, are stupid and happy to stand beside his brother is.
In the early years for the sake of his brother, Huang Barbarian that was even dare to Xu Snapdragon against, like the song and dance at the top of Qingliang Mountain after the old emperor’s death, Xu Snapdragon unprecedentedly burst into anger, Huang Barbarian blocked the middle of the father and the brother, a step not to retreat.
Xu Fengnian put down the fire poker and crouched in front of the fireplace with shrunken hands, staring at the charcoal fire.
Even Xu Fengyen was not aware that in the night tonight, a group of people would enter the gate of the state city in sequence without any prior notice.
In Youzhou, there was a large group of people including Yan Wenluan, the commander-in-chief of Beiliang Infantry, vice-commander Chen Yuntui, assassin Hu Kui, general Huangfu Ping, and Yu Luanblade, the main general of You Riders.
Lingshou has a strategic ambassador Li Gongde Li Hanlin father and son, the new assassin, Lingshou general Han Laoshan, vice general Wang Zhi Huang Xiao-quick, etc., or a large group of people.
Liuzhou in addition to already in the House of Chen Xiliang Yang Guangdou two people, there is the Dragon Elephant Army vice general Li Mo Fan, Liuzhou General Kou Jianghuai, still a large group of people.
Liangzhou outside the gate inside the gate, to the northern Liangduo Chu Lushan and cavalry commander Yuan Zuozong as the head, that’s even more, even more a large group of people.
Bei Liang Dao civil officials and military generals, in this New Year’s Eve, somehow rushed to the Qingliang Mountain King’s mansion outside the gate one after another.
Xu Yan Bing stood outside the lobby entrance, his face unusually heavy.
Xu Fenian slowly stood up, smiling somewhat bitterly.
The formation outside the gate at the foot of the mountain was tantamount to forcing the palace.
Since he was kept in the dark, it meant that along with Second Sister and Chu Lushan, they did not agree.
Xu Fengnian stood near that chair and turned to look at the gate.
Chu Lushan was the first to appear at the gate, but did not hastily lift his foot to cross the threshold.
Xu Fengyen collected his thoughts and said softly with a hoarse voice, “All come in.”
Chu Lushan, Li Gongde, Yan Wenluan, Yuan Zuozong, Chen Yuntui, Gu Dazu ……
Li Mo Fan, Yu Luan Blade, Kou Jianghuai, Cao Xiaojiao ……
Song Dongming, Bai Yu, Huang Shang ……
Xu Beihao, Chen Xiliang ……
Because the number of people walking into the lobby was simply too many, more than a dozen chairs had to be added temporarily.
Xu Fengyen waited until all the people had chairs placed behind them before sitting on the chair that Xu Snapdragon had sat on in previous years.
Xu Fengnian reached out and pressed down.
Everyone sat down.
Xu Longxiang also picked a chair and sat on one side.
The majestic aura, completely not inferior to Cao Changqing Deng Tai’a Tuoba Bodhisattva all the top martial arts masters, all appeared in front of the young vassal king in one fell swoop.
Xu Fengnian was not annoyed, just a little tired.
Chu Lushan, who was sitting beside the three Xu Longxiang Yuan Zuozong Qi Dangguo, lowered his head as if he did not dare to look at Xu Fengnian squarely.
The reason why this night’s situation, he and Xu Weixiong both can be considered the culprits, otherwise who would dare to act like this?
Xu Fengnian was sitting upright, his hands in his sleeves.
Just like Xu Snapdragon back then.
