Chapter 239 New Year's Eve
With the 24 ringing of Haotian bells reverberating in the city of Chang'an, the four years of Zaiqian ended quietly, and the fifth year of Zaiqian began.

New Year's Eve, here we go.

"Da Lang Fu prolongs the new day, and the birthday celebration is boundless."

"Aunt Song celebrates her new birth, and her longevity is extended."

In the mansion of Song Shaoyuan's family in Judefang, Li Ang greeted Aunt Song with a smile.

Traveling long distances these days is not an easy task. Some time ago, Ji Linglang came over and said that her father Ji Chi, the prefect of Weizhou, was going back to Chang'an to report on his duties.

There is a possibility of promotion in the future, and I will live in Chang'an for a long time. This time, I brought the younger generation here
Aunt Song took their family's carriage and came to Chang'an before the New Year.

It is often said that Taoists leave their hometowns and are humble, but Aunt Song is quite happy to see her son Song Shaoyuan admitted to the academy, with a spacious mansion and a well-educated fiancée—that is, people around are speaking Chang'an official dialect, and she is a little at a loss, maybe It takes a while to get used to it.

crackling.

The fireworks outside the mansion are bright, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard endlessly.

"Risheng, I'm here to celebrate the New Year!"

Yang Yu's familiar voice came from outside the house, and Li Ang went out to greet him, but he saw a group of servants and children in colorful padded jackets following Yang Yu.

"Eh? This is."

"The brat at home."

Yang Yu shrugged helplessly, talking about the strange mouth habit he learned from Li Ang, "Come here and have an audience with the Little Medicine King God, so as not to get sick in the New Year."

"Little Medicine King's blessing celebrates the beginning of the new year, and the longevity is extended——"

A group of brats didn't know who gave the order, so they raised their voices and bowed to Li Ang.

In the past autumn and winter seasons, children had a high probability of suffering from whooping cough, but this year, with the expansion of allicin production in various states,
The prevalence rate and the severity of the disease have dropped significantly, further confirming Li Ang's title as the God of Medicine.

"Okay."

Li Ang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't bother to refute the rumor anymore, so he turned sideways to let out the door, "Come in, the food is ready."

He told his friends in advance that this year's New Year's Eve would be at Song Shaoyuan's house, and Aunt Song, You Xiao, and Chai Chai had already prepared super-standard meals in advance.

A group of bear children are either jumping, or entering the courtyard cautiously,
Chai Chai, who was wearing a white fox fur coat (with a hood), smiled and took out a large stack of red envelopes containing several flying coins, and distributed them one by one.

Last year, when Li Ang went to Yan Yundang's house to pay New Year's greetings, he made red envelopes for a few newborn children of Yan's family.

There was no custom of lucky money in Yu State before. Occasionally, some wealthy or family elders who loved their children would give some small gifts such as gold, silver, copper coins, ornaments and even silk jewelry on New Year's Eve.

I don’t know whether it’s because Li Ang’s influence is too great, or the citizens of Chang’an just want to celebrate. Now every household has started to give red envelopes to relatives, friends, and juniors, and even spontaneously formed a "hand out red envelopes—politely refuse—forced red envelopes" basic routine.

Words such as "Mom and Dad put away your red envelope first" can also appear in advance.

More and more like the Spring Festival in memory.

After handing out the red envelopes, Chai Chai happily took the children to play with the firecrackers made by Li Ang, looking like a king of children.

Li Ang, Song Shaoyuan, and Yang Yu stood at the door to welcome the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Ji Linglang was the first to come here, and brought ten saury from Weizhou as a gift—this kind of fish can hardly survive without running water, and it will become very thin in autumn and winter.I don't know what method she used to preserve it so well and transport it all the way to Chang'an.

Li Ang and Song Shaoyuan were tired of eating this kind of fish when they lived in Weizhou before, but they left their hometown for more than a year, and they still feel nostalgic when they see the specialties of their hometown again.
Li Ang took three sticks out of the barrel, and used his mind to control the knives and kitchen utensils to float up for remote cooking.

"The rising sun prolongs the new day, and the celebration of longevity is boundless——"

A slightly weak voice came from outside the door, and Li Wei, who was wearing a padded jacket and a silk coat, appeared.

"What's wrong with you, this is, it looks so dazed."

Yang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Secretly fell in love without telling us? It's not authentic."

"Pooh,"

Li Wei rolled his eyes, "With your eyes and ears all over the city of Chang'an, what can be hidden from you?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe when you came out of Xuanyangfang, you saw a magnificent young girl in the crowd. You and her looked at each other and fell in love at first sight. You wanted to get closer to each other, but you were caught by the crowd." Coerced, farther and farther away. Your shouts were drowned in the sound of fireworks. When you finally squeezed out of the crowd, there was no sign of her, leaving only a handkerchief with fragrance. You hold the handkerchief, your rough and willful face Under the light of the bright fireworks, I lost my soul. This may be the beginning and end of the story between you and her"

Yang Yu's eyebrows were beaming, and there was a long list of content when he opened his mouth.

Li Wei was dumbfounded, and it took a while to realize, "Wait, why are you so proficient in making up stories? How many romance novels have you read in private?

And did you just say that I look rough?Carrying private goods, this is you. "

Yang Yu said without changing his face: "Don't care about these details, just tell me."

"how is this possible."

Li Wei rolled his big eyes, with a painful expression on his face, "Although it is indeed a private matter."

Li Wei explained that he had been staying at the home of General Yunhui Chen Changxiao during his holidays.

His father and elder brother had served as soldiers under Chen Changxiao, and his own admission to the academy was also recommended by Chen Changxiao. The relationship between the two families was extremely close, and Li Wei and several children in the general's residence were usually called brothers.

Recently, people from the general's wife's natal family came to Chang'an from Hedong Road to do business, and they stopped by to pay New Year's greetings. The topic somehow mentioned the matter of being a matchmaker for Li Wei.

The general's wife has a niece, who is about the same age as Li Wei, and is now studying at Luli Academy, so she is considered a practitioner
"so?"

Yang Yu asked suspiciously: "Isn't this good, kiss more kisses."

The situation of the Chen family and Li Wei was prevalent in the Yu country, and the situation of the Chen family and Li Wei could be regarded as the relationship between the recommender and the recommendee.Chen Changxiao is Li Wei's "leader".

This relationship is even closer and more reliable than that between master and apprentice.If Li Wei can marry the Chen family, he can get rid of the burden of kindness in a certain sense, and be on the same status as the Chen family, which is beneficial to both parties.

"Looking at your constipated expression, does the other party not look good?"

Yang Yu asked curiously.

Li Wei shook his head, entangled and said: "No, the portrait is quite soft and beautiful."

Yang Yu rubbed his chin, wondering: "Then why aren't you happy? You don't have any secrets, do you?!"

"This, me, that"

Li Wei was entangled in every possible way, seeing the curious gazes of Li Ang and Ji Linglang, he could only lower his voice and say, "Actually, I prefer girls who can give me a sense of security."

"what?"

The three of Li Ang said in unison, looking at Li Wei's appearance, height, and muscles, it will be more than enough to be a portrait of the door god in a few years.

It's not safe yet?
"You don't understand!"

Li Wei blushed and said, "When I was in Bianzhen Wubian, there were often horse bandits and thieves.

They would fire rockets at the stockade at night, ambush in the forest, and set traps on the mountain roads.The corpses will also be arranged in various weird and terrifying shapes to intimidate them.

I can barely fall asleep at night only by putting a simple knife under my pillow and listening to Paozawa's snoring.

I originally thought that I would be better after I came to Chang'an and formally practiced martial arts, but I still woke up occasionally with shock.I'm afraid this symptom will always be there in the future."

"So you want to find a girl who is stronger than you, can snore at night, and can give you a sense of security."

Yang Yu summed it up, paused, and said, "It's easy to be better than you, but I'm afraid it's not easy to find if you want to snore at night."

'Not only is it not easy to find, is this a combination of battlefield ptsd and xp?

Brother, your xp system is too strange, right? ! '

Li Ang complained endlessly in his heart. He studied surgery and was unable to cure mental illness.
