Li's path

Chapter 17 Happy New Year

With a warm fireplace, comfortable seats, and sweet hot drinks, the family of four gathers to chat in the living room after enjoying a sumptuous dinner.Sometimes they talk about what Li En has seen and heard from his own travels, and sometimes they talk about the trivial things in his hometown in the past half a year. Even though it is almost midnight, the whole family has no intention of resting.

"A novel written by brother? I want to read it, I want to read it." Hearing that her brother's novel is going to be released next year, Alice cheered.

"The story of the emperor and the saint? There is a market in the empire. Well, our family has always had a good relationship with the royal family. Let me take a look and send it to your majesty." Baron Teo and the emperor Yukent III was a good friend he had been with since he was young, picked up the last book Li En took out, and said cheerfully.

"My son is really amazing. He is both civil and military, my dear." Mrs. Lucia looked proud. The parents are always the most proud of a child's achievements. What about Mrs. Sha Ling. Speaking of which, Li En, you really traveled a lot."

"Brother has gone to so many places, Regram, Crossbell, and the Republic of Calvard? Huh, I really want to go too." Elysee held the book in one hand and shook it coquettishly with the other. Ryan's arm.

"Regram, I know Viscount Victor there, and he is a very aristocratic person." In the early years, Baron Theo had a lot of friends. If he hadn't become more low-key after adopting Li En, he must be in the social circle now. Even so, the news is still well-informed. "I remember you mentioned his daughter in the first letter you sent back. How about telling me in detail?"

"Well, mom is also very interested, how is it better than our family's Elyse?" Mrs. Lucia smiled and looked at Wen Yan's daughter who was holding on to her son's arm tightly.

"Laura, Dad, if you have seen Viscount Victor, you should be able to imagine that the spirit is exactly the same as that of His Excellency the Viscount." The awe-inspiring posture and calm demeanor reappeared in Li En's mind, and he felt a little jealous when he touched it. "It's a completely different type from Elysee's, but my swordsmanship is on par with mine. I'm a close friend in swordsmanship who have made progress together."

"Should it be said that like a father, like a daughter?" Baron Theo was not surprised. Anyone who had seen Viscount Victor would be overwhelmed by his demeanor. It was only natural that he could raise such a daughter.

"Lian, you should be a very beautiful girl, yes, my dear, let's go on a trip to Ragram next time." Mrs. Lucia looked at her daughter whose small mouth was pouting enough to hold an oil bottle , the smile on the corner of his mouth became narrower and narrower.

"Mo~ Mom, I'm ignoring you, huh!" Alice threw off Li En's arm angrily, shrank aside and sulked.

"Hahahaha." Seeing Elysee's cute and angry look, the whole family burst into a burst of joyful laughter, which spread far and far under the night.

The time when the Chinese New Year is approaching always flies quickly. Li En, who rested at home for one night, devoted himself to the preparations for the New Year celebration the next day.Go hunting with dad and pack enough meat for the campfire.Help Uncle Moritz, who only does not drink during this time, cut wood and prepare enough firewood for the New Year.Make little decorations with your friend Rucker and the other kids in town.

Of course, those above are just helping out in spare time. Li En's most important job during this time is to help each family write Spring Festival couplets.That's right, you read that right, since the sword fairy Yunkawai came to this border town, he also brought a lot of unique oriental customs and delicacies, which were quickly accepted and promoted by the townspeople.For example, pies, a new dish in taverns, are very popular among people who want to work in the mountains. Origami, an art that is both beautiful and fun, is also widely spread among children.The Spring Festival couplets used for New Year's blessings are no exception. After all, everyone wants to win a good fortune and hope that next year will be better.

And Li En also made great efforts in promoting the Spring Festival couplets. After all, he lived in China for nearly 30 years in his previous life. Even though he has fully integrated into this world now, he still has thoughts in his heart.Although he was an ordinary person in his previous life, he didn't live in a vacuum. Naturally, he had relatives and friends. How could Li En not be excited and vigorously promote this thing that represented traditional Chinese folklore?

In his previous life, Li En practiced brush calligraphy when he was a child, and under the influence of Teacher Yun, he quickly picked up this skill. It looks good to a layman, and he can scare people.So half of Yumir posted Li En's masterpiece, and as for the other half, Elysee did it for her. When Li En practiced calligraphy, she was not idle, and her handwriting was honestly better than her brother's. If it wasn't for the lack of atmosphere, Li En could be laid off.

Time is like a never-ending river that flows forever. It will not speed up because you are bored, nor will it slow down because you are anxious. December 1199, 12 in the Seven Lunar Calendar is approaching, and the new year across the century is coming.

As night fell, the originally comfortable and peaceful border town finally fell into hustle and bustle.The young guys took out their musical instruments, and the cheerful dance music flowed gently. The beautiful girls swayed their light bodies and danced to the music.The tavern store brought out food and wine that had been prepared for a long time, so that the townspeople could drink to their heart's content.The priests of the church lead the devout believers to pray to the goddess, the children are having fun everywhere, and everyone's pockets are stuffed with candies.

The town tonight is flooded with joy. The simple townspeople are enjoying the harvest of a year's hard work, and happy smiles fill everyone's faces.Li En stood by the bonfire and looked around. His father, Baron Theo, was surrounded by a group of middle-aged uncles, talking and laughing loudly, drinking heavily.Mother, Mrs. Lucia, and a group of housewives are busy in front of the stove, making the most traditional food of Yumir.My sister, Alice, is leading a group of children to make snow rabbits with special meaning, to see who can do it quickly and beautifully.

"Snow rabbit?" Li En said to himself, as if engraved into his body, the movements were instinctive, the snow lumps formed into balls on his hands, the emerald green vegetable leaves were gently folded to form long ears, and the bright red fruits were used as eyes, The cute little snow rabbit was born.When I was eight years old, I met the little girl with blond hair and used this little thing to soothe her tears. After all, I just knew her name, Alyssa Lanefort.

The trajectories of fate are destined to meet in the future, all I can do now is to pray for you, pray to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens (the goddess of space, there are many doubts, it is difficult for Li En to believe in.) to protect you through In the most difficult days of life, the most hurt by family conflicts is still only you who is about to turn 13 years old.

"Ah, I got my brother's snow rabbit. Elysee will definitely be the happiest person next year." Elysee, who had just finished being the King of the Kids, held the snow rabbit made by Li En above her head with both hands, her eyebrows and eyes like a crescent moon.

"What are you thinking, this is me." Li En shook his head, dismissed his wild thoughts, touched his sister's little head, and picked up the lute at hand, "How can we let the adults show off, we will come too. "

After a casual audition, Li En played the most famous happy song "Jingle Bells" in his previous life.Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, what a joy to ski tonight, we're on the sled.

The crisp and melodious melody combined with the chorus of children's voices infected more and more people to join in the chorus and carnival.Music knows no borders, even the world. The tunes that were popular in the previous life are just as popular in this other world.Li En's solo turned into an ensemble, and the children's chorus turned into a chorus, spreading from the campfire to every corner of the town.

Finally everything was silent, everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting for the moment of the century, five, four, three, two, one, the new year, the bell of the new era rang, and everyone closed their eyes and prayed.

"May my father be in good health, my mother be young forever, and my sister be happy every day." Li En looked at the boundless night sky and made a wish in his heart that has never changed since time travel.
