It's the Chinese New Year, and everyone in the palace is extremely busy. The masters in each courtyard are cutting new clothes, the kitchen is also busy collecting all kinds of delicacies, the maids are sweeping and cleaning everywhere, and the servants are lighting lamps. Colorful decoration

This time of year is the saddest time for poor children. She was born on the second day of the second lunar month, and it was also her mother's memorial day. The grandmother she depended on at such a young age was also gone. It was the right time for her to lie in the arms of her relatives and act like a baby. At her young age, she has tasted all the sufferings of the world

At night, the poor child put Noble to sleep, and she came to the kitchen alone to help the cooks prepare the ingredients for tomorrow. Helping in the kitchen for many years has also allowed her to practice good cooking skills. At the end of the new year, she will also prepare some cakes for her master to celebrate the festival
It gets dark earlier in winter, and the entire backyard is only brightly lit by oil lamps on the kitchen side.

"Poor child" heard someone calling her, and the poor child who was in deep thought finally came back to his senses, and turned around to see Cheng Zhe mysteriously holding something standing at the kitchen door

"Chengzhe, why are you here so late at night?"

"I'm here to deliver something to you." Chengzhe handed the package in his hand to the poor boy. "Open it quickly and take a look. You will definitely like it."

The pauper took the thing from Chengzhe's hand and opened it. Inside was a cherry blossom red embroidered double-butterfly blouse and a light pink ancient pattern double-butterfly cloud-shaped Qianshui skirt. The two dresses were finely crafted and brightly colored. Pauper's white and tender skin is very beautiful

"Are these precious clothes for me?"

"Chenghe went to Jiangnan a few days ago and just came back. He said that it was just in time for the New Year. I didn't even make any new clothes, so I brought some new clothes for you and my mother. Originally, he was going to be with me. Let’s come to see you together, but there are some troubles that can’t come.” Chengzhe arrived.
Pao'er carefully wrapped up his clothes and asked, "What trouble did Brother Chenghe encounter?"

"It's the fourth aunt. She follows Chenghe wherever he goes. Chenghe is afraid that if she comes here, she will see that she is causing trouble for everyone and will stop coming. He also brought candies and candied fruits to Laibao." Chengzhe took another step from his arms. I took out a bag of food for the poor boy, "Also, this is the money my mother asked me to give you for the New Year"

The pauper took the two ingots of silver into his arms, put everything aside, picked up a food box from the table and handed it to Chengzhe, "This is the snack I just made. I can't enter the hospital. I originally wanted to have some fragrance." When Sister Xing comes, ask her to help me take it to the Third Madam and you. But you are here, so you can help me take it. By the way, help me ask the Third Madam how she is and bring it to Chenghe."

Chengzhe took the food box and the two of them exchanged a few words before saying goodbye and going back because it was getting late.

The next morning, the old god Wang came to visit the house, but this time he brought Tiedaner with him. The two of them were arranged to take a rest in a quiet room. Someone came to invite them immediately, saying that the old lady heard that the old god was here. Wanting to see him immediately, Tiedan'er saw his master leaving and hurried to the backyard. Everyone in the kitchen had just finished breakfast and had already dispersed. Pao'er was about to go back when he saw Tiedan'er coming over. Both of them were very happy. joy
We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, and the handsome young man in front of me is already a bit unrecognizable. He has grown a lot taller and is neatly dressed. His hair is tied up with a silver hairpin. After half a year on the mountain, he has an aura of immortality. I guess he is. I learned a lot from the old immortal
"I didn't expect you to come today and the snacks for you haven't been made yet." The poor boy arrived.
"Don't worry, Master said to wait until after the New Year before going back. This year I can celebrate your birthday with you."

"That's good, brother Tiedan'er"

"Master changed his name to Mu Feng." Tiedan'er arrived

"Huang Mufeng"

"Where is Laibao? Where did he go again? I brought something for her."

"It's time to go back to the house, let's go take a look together."

"Brother Tiedan'er!" When Lai Bao saw Tiedan'er entering the hospital without saying a word, he rushed up and hugged him.
"Lai Bao, Lai Bao! You have grown up a lot. I can't hold you anymore. Come down quickly and see what good things I have brought you." Tiedan'er took out a wooden sword from his waist and said, "Hey ! How do you know I want this?" Lai Bao held the wooden sword in his hand and started gesticulating gracefully.

"You are born like a boy, and you like to slash and kill. I guess you like it," Tie Dan'er said. "Who taught you your unfamiliar swordsmanship? The routine looks familiar."

"Brother Chengzhe taught me," Laibao said.

"Okay! Put it away quickly. Although the wooden sword is not sharp, it will be very painful if it cuts someone." Pao'er said to Tiedan'er again, "Chengzhe is the second young master in this house, and his uncle is your senior brother Fang Shaoqin." , so this swordsmanship actually comes from Liangyue Mountain."

"It's just that I've practiced this swordsmanship too much," Tiedan'er said.

"Chengzhe hasn't practiced well yet. How well can you make Laibao practice? But I heard that the prince recently hired a good master for him in the northwest. He is the most powerful general in the northwest. His martial arts skills are incredible."

"Brother Tiedan'er, please teach me. I will accept you as my teacher. Laibao wants to practice swordsmanship well and beat Chenghe. Chenghe's martial arts are very good."

"Chenghe?"

"Master in the mansion, they come to see us occasionally, and it is very good for us. Now that you have become a distinguished guest in this mansion, it is indispensable to see them, and you will know when the time comes." You still have things to do. You and Laibao took the snacks I made for Master and went to his place to see him. I will go there in the afternoon."

The two agreed and took the food boxes to see Master Sanyang.

"Master Uncle" Tie Dan'er put the food box on the Sanyang real person's table, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't you rest?"

The Taoist priest opened the food box and took out snacks to eat. "Rest? How can I rest? I don't have money to eat."

"You don't have money to eat even if you don't rest, right? Everyone is busy during the New Year's Eve. Who has time to tell fortunes, let alone catch monsters? The monsters have gone to celebrate the New Year." After that, Tiedan'er He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the Taoist priest, "My master asked me to bring it. He said that he wanted you to buy some things for the festival. When the poor man comes over, we will help you pack it up. You also Go home and rest for a few days."

Master Sanyang took the money and put it away. He stared at Tiedan'er carefully and said, "You have made a lot of progress in the past six months. Your speech is different from before. My senior brother is really amazing."

Tiedan'er smiled and said nothing, and reached for the food box to get some snacks. Before he could get it, he was slapped by Master Sanyang, "That's why I praised you. I see that your delicious appearance has not changed at all. This My disciple made it specially for me to eat, but you dare to touch it, so be careful I won’t be polite to you."

"Uncle, I'm afraid you can't beat me now, right?" Tiedan'er rubbed the back of his hand and wanted to get some snacks.

"You still want to hit your uncle, don't you?" The Taoist Master hurriedly pushed his hand away, picked up the whole food box and protected it in his arms. "This is what the poor boy made for me. Go and ask about my disciple's things." When have I ever given anything to others? She will make snacks for you anyway, so why do you insist on taking them from me?"
