The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 891 880: During the New Year at Wuji's house, the Gazelle couple returned to the plateau

When Duan Yanqing's family returned to the house, Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year now, you all get busy for me!
Now our family is also a very rich family. When the family grows bigger, there will be more things to do.

Promise!This Chinese New Year has nothing to do with you, you should practice martial arts with peace of mind!

As a father, I am not confused. As long as you are in our family, we will not be able to fall.

Your life and death are related to the prosperity and disgrace of our family.

If our family is protected by a prince, it will never fall.

If you don't exist anymore, then don't dare to say it. "

Liucaihua slapped Duan Wuji on the back after hearing this.

"You brat, did you hear what your father said!

To be honest, all of us are counting on you now!
You are not allowed to give me any errands!Otherwise, how can you tell our family to live!

Boy, why don't you go to practice martial arts for me? "

Once Duan Wuji was beaten by his mother, he knew how much his mother loved him.

Duan Wuji agreed and walked out. He knew from the bottom of his heart what his family expected of him!

Duan Wuji went back to his room, and went to practice the new method of inner strength again.

The days passed day by day like this, and Duan Wuji lived a fulfilling and happy life.

That night, Duan Wuji was practicing in his room, and Wang Jinhua came in and called him.

"Master, I think you should stop practicing kung fu today, master, do you know that today happens to be New Year's Eve, let's go, let's go to observe the new year!

Brother and sister-in-law are all in the house.

Our whole family is short of you. If you don't go, it must be bad. "

As soon as Duan Wuji heard what Wang Jinhua said, he quickly jumped off the kang.

"I didn't expect it, this year has passed so quickly.

I don’t feel anything yet, this year is over, alas, it’s almost a year older, it really makes people grow old. "

Duan Wuji shook his head and sighed, followed Wang Jinhua straight to the main room.

I saw that the main room was brightly lit, and eight or nine bright red candles were lit at once.

The whole family is in the house, and there are teapots and teacups on the table.

Those snacks, melon seeds, fruits and so on are all placed on the kang, and the three children are playing around on the kang while eating good things.

Duan Changsheng accompanied his old father while drinking and gossiping.

There were eight dishes of side dishes and a jar of good wine on the table.

Wang Jinhua and Niu Ahua watched the children playing, while chatting with their mother-in-law.

To be honest, this is really a harmonious home.

After Duan Wuji came in, Duan Changsheng hurriedly said: "Brother, it's hard to buy a day's leisure with money, and it's New Year's Eve, so come over and have a drink with my father!

I know you don't drink much, but isn't it just once or twice a year? "

After hearing what his brother said, Duan Wuji had no choice but to sit down next to his brother. The father and son were chatting and drinking while waiting for the arrival of midnight.

Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji, now our family is well-off, and in our Taiyuan prefecture area, our family is also considered the richest man.

It's a good day, I don't know what plan you have for our family? "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Father, you also know that I don't have a heart, I just want to eat and wait to die.

As for any plans for the future, I have no idea at all.

I am now a prince!It can also be said that it is high and heavy.

One day as an official counts as one day!

If we can't be an official in the future, don't our family still have some property?Just relying on these family properties, I believe our family can't stand being poor!

The emperor has already told me that after the new year, I will start to have a salary.

In the future, there will be a steady stream of money, isn't this a great thing?
As for other things, I really haven't thought about it!

What, Daddy, do you have any ideas?Just say what you think. "

"Wuji, your brother is very unhappy at home, he really wants to be an official.

Can you help him with this matter? "

Duan Wuji shook his head, looked at his brother and said: "I said brother, in my opinion, you should stop thinking about it.

You should know that being an official for thousands of miles is only for food and clothing.

According to our family's conditions, there is absolutely no problem whether it is food or clothing, so why do you go out and become an official?
Do you think being an official is so easy?
Once something goes wrong, it will be punished by the court!

You stay at home like this, how good do you think it is?

The wind can't blow, and the rain can't stop it. From my point of view, why do you need to suffer for that?
You might as well manage it well at home, how good is it to have more children and grandchildren?

I don't have your blessing, if I have your blessing, I don't want to be such a bird official!
In my opinion, it is enough for our family to have one official, so why both brothers should be officials?
I think you're putting your blessings aside and won't enjoy them. You're only looking for sins if you have nothing to do. "

After Duan Wuji said this, Duan Changsheng lowered his head and stopped talking.

Liucaihua also said: "Longsheng, just listen to your brother. Even if you become an official, you have to start from a low-level official. If you are a seventh-rank county magistrate, you will be as good as the sky.

You just want to be a seventh-rank magistrate, so what's the point?

Now that our family is taking advantage of people, don't the seventh-rank magistrates all bow their heads when they see us?

Even the prefect didn't dare to raise his tail when he saw us.

I know you child, you have been cowardly and obedient since you were a child, and you have no great ability yourself.

It is enough for your brother to work hard outside alone, why do you have to go out and suffer that?

In my opinion, the most important thing for you now is to have more children, that's the real thing!

Look at your brothers and the others, they already have three children, how wonderful they are.

Why don't you learn from your brother?

You think about being an official all day long, what do you think is the use of being that official?

How can you stay with Wei Niang?

In this way, sooner or later we will have a care, you said why did you come here! "

When Duan Changsheng heard the whole family say that, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​becoming an official.

"Mother! I am an official for nothing else, just to prove that I am not a waste, and that I am also a useful talent.

How is it good that the light lives in the light of my brother? "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"I said brother, there are so many people in our family, who said you are a waste.

Since no one talks about you, why do you talk about yourself?
You guard our family's thousands of acres of land, how good do you think it is!

Why bother looking for trouble when nothing is wrong, you and I are brothers of the same family, the money I earn is your money, you can spend it as you want, no one restricts you.

As long as you take care of our family, that's fine. "

Hearing what Duan Wuji said, Duan Yanqing quickly said to Duan Changsheng: "Longsheng, just give up your idea of ​​becoming an official!
Didn't your brother say just now that you hold the power in this family, and my father and I are older, if you can't even manage a family well, how can you be an official?

Okay, let's not talk about these useless things, let's drink and eat!
After a while, the midnight bell will strike, and the new year will begin soon.

Let's not do anything else, just for the coming year to have good weather, abundant grains, prosperous domestic animals, and a safe population. "

Duan Wuji said to Wang Jinhua: "Jinhua, it's almost midnight now, hurry up and cook dumplings, we should go to bed after eating dumplings.

Let's go to New Year's greetings early tomorrow morning! "

After hearing this, Wang Jinhua turned around and went to cook dumplings.

At this time, sporadic firecrackers have already sounded outside the yard, and the new year is about to begin.

Duan Wuji put down the wine bowl, and said to his elder brother: "Brother, you see that firecrackers have already gone off outside, our family is the richest man in this area, it's time for our family to set off firecrackers now.

If other people set off firecrackers, but ours does not set off firecrackers, wouldn't we be laughed at? "

After Duan Wuji said this, Duan Changsheng stood up.

"Sheng Song, Sheng Lin, let's go, follow me to set off firecrackers!"

As soon as the two children heard this, they immediately jumped off the kang.

shouted happily.

"Let's go! Let's set off firecrackers.

After setting off the firecrackers, it's time to come back and eat dumplings. "

In a short time, there was crackling firecrackers in the yard, and the yard was full of fire trees and silver flowers, illuminating the earth brightly.

After the dumplings were cooked, the firecrackers in the yard were also set off.

The family ate dumplings around the table, and had nothing to do, so they went back to sleep.

To be honest, the children were already sleepy, and it was not long before they returned to the house, so the children fell into a deep sleep.

Duan Wuji drank some wine today, he was very excited, Wang Jinhua saw Duan Wuji like this, and quickly persuaded him: "Boss, go to bed quickly! It's midnight now.

Don't you get up early tomorrow?
You see you drank so much wine today, what is the point of drinking so much wine?

Tell me how much it hurts your body! "

Duan Wuji hugged Wang Jinhua over.

"Stop saying a few words, what's the use of talking so much nonsense in the middle of the night?

Well, let's go to bed! "

"Hey, I said, head of the house, you can sleep when you sleep.

Why don't you sleep, and you're going to be useless again.

After drinking so much alcohol, don't you think doing this will hurt your health? "

Before long, Wang Jinhua's ravings came from the room.

The next morning, the family got up early to eat dumplings. Since it was the first day of the new year, Duan Yanqing was the one who cooked the dumplings.

In this area of ​​Shanxi, there is a custom, that is, on the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the head of the family cooks for himself. This is also a custom.

After breakfast, Duan Yanqing led the whole family to Duanjiaji to pay New Year's greetings, and when they returned home after the New Year's greetings, the long-term workers and assistants in the family estate also dragged their children and daughters over to pay New Year's greetings.

This village is not big in the first place, many people point to Duan Yanqing and his family as alive.

It's a big Chinese New Year, which family dares not come to pay New Year's greetings, once the boss chooses his own, it means that his family will have no food to eat.

Duan Yanqing put a basket of copper coins in the room, filled with copper coins, children come to pay New Year's greetings, no matter boys or girls, they all give fifty cents as lucky money!

The children not only have lucky money, but also a pack of delicious food. Over the years, Duan Yanqing's family has formed a routine, so there are many people who come to their house to pay New Year's greetings!

It was not until lunch time that Duan Yanqing's family got rid of these people.

After lunch, Duan Yanqing said to Duan Wuji and Duan Changsheng: "Didn't your third grandfather say that on the third day of the Lunar New Year, their family will have a big banquet to celebrate the birth of three children? You guys?" Let's discuss and discuss, let's see what gifts our family prepares for them!

This time, three children were born, which also shows that our old Duan's family is thriving!

Our family has to pay attention to this matter, the gift is too light and it doesn't seem like a family matter, so you can deal with this matter! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Isn't that the case? There's nothing to discuss about it. Our family prepares a small silk dress for children and three pairs of silver bracelets for each of them, isn't it all over?" .

Brother, what do you think? "

"Well, that's fine, just leave this matter alone, I'll take care of these things!
This year is over, you might as well practice your martial arts, our family is counting on you, you have to practice martial arts well!

Without that good kung fu, how can you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

You must know that the enemy is not a vegetarian, if there is any mistake on the battlefield, our family will be finished! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Brother, I don't care about this matter, you can just figure it out! After the banquet, you will have nothing to do.

Let's see how long I can stay at home. Once the imperial court recruits me, I have to leave home and return to Beijing immediately!

well!To be honest, being an official is really not free! "

On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the gazelle couple found Duan Wuji's house and said to Duan Wuji, "Daoyou Duan, you see that this year has passed, and we have lived together for such a long time. It's time, to be honest, it's time for the two of us to go back to the plateau.

After this farewell, I don't know when we will have the opportunity to meet again! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "As for when we can meet, it depends on God's will, as long as there is a chance in the future, we will meet again eventually!
Two fellow Taoists, you two are highly skilled, let's see if I can start well and finish well! "

"Fellow Daoist Duan, do you still need to ask us about this? You are the fate of the rich and powerful. No one can change this. If you have any disasters, to be honest, it is impossible for the two of us to stay with you." ah!"

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Two fellow daoists, I am relieved with your words. Since you are determined to leave, then I will not keep you. Let's see you later!"

As he said that, Duan Wuji sent the two of them out of the house, and after leaving the village, the three of them bid farewell with each other.

Not long after the two of them walked, suddenly there was a gust of wind. After the gust passed, the couple of boxwoods disappeared.
