Chinese Almanac Master

Chapter 48 Spring Equinox

Thanks to the blessings of the years and years of safety, the unexcavated cultural relics buried in the underground palace were finally discovered. Because the internal environment is good so far and no harmful gas is generated, there is almost no difficulty in the follow-up investigation and inventory. After receiving the news, the experts quickly closed the museum and entered it. Luo Jia, who got the news at the first time, was also ecstatic, and before dawn, Xiao Nanzhu, who had worked hard all night, left the pair with only The wreckage, the keel of the skin tissue and the peach wood box under the black dragon's body were taken out together.

Speaking of which, these things are considered cultural relics. Logically speaking, Xiao Nanzhu should not have taken them out, but it is obviously not a good thing for the black dragon’s body to be discovered by the government, so in order not to cause trouble in the future, he can only pay for it by himself. It took a lot of effort to clean up the huge bones in the gold pile.However, the dragon is not weaker than the existence of the gods. Even if he dies now, the dragon horns, dragon skin and even the bones on his body are priceless treasures. Because they are the totems of the Chinese nation's own beliefs, the dragon actually represents many representatives in traditional culture. Thinking of the deep meaning of blessing and auspiciousness, Xiao Nanzhu didn't think too much about it at the moment. He just asked Hua Chao to bring all the dragon bones back to the calendar before leaving work, and then make other plans later. The peach wood box he found, Xiao Nanzhu was actually not quite sure what dynasty it was.

Looking at the degree of decay of the box, it seems that it is not too close to the present time. The old book inside looks like it is on the verge of weathering, so Xiao Nanzhu did not dare to touch it with his hands, but since the peach wood box can be guarded by the black dragon , must be very precious in itself, but the painting is neither signed nor dated, so it is impossible to guess the specific year.

But what is certain is that the demon-killing god in that painting must be the New Year's Eve who slept with him in the same bed the day before yesterday, and when he witnessed the appearance of this New Year's Eve demon-killing picture in the former underground palace that housed countless treasures, it was amazing. Due to a little selfishness, Xiao Nanzhu finally couldn't hold back and took it out.

The paintings of ancient painters were nothing more than flowers, plants, insects, fish, birds and animals, and the portraits of people were mostly pictures of ladies, portraits of emperors and various myths and legends.For example, the museum in b city has the most collections of the imagination of emperors and concubines of past dynasties. These paintings were all painted by court painters, so even if they were damaged during the war years, most of them are still well preserved in major museums for future generations. After studying it, now this painting depicting the extermination of demons on New Year's Eve appears in the underground palace, which seems a bit strange in some respects.

After all, unless it is a treasure that is too precious to be stolen by others, there is absolutely no need for these former palace people to let the black dragon take care of the painting and the box to rest assured. In an instant, Xiao Nanzhu recognized the small characters on the side of the portrait that did not belong to the traditional writing system at all, and when he showed the painting to Hua Chao, the doubtful Hua Chao shook his head directly replied,

"I don't know these words... Teacher Li, do you know? Isn't this painting the New Year's Eve? Why does it look like this... Hey, couldn't this be drawn for him by an enthusiastic fan of his dynasty? , and the painting is quite beautiful..."

What Hua Chao muttered made Xiao Nanzhu speechless. He didn't understand how he knew these words, so he didn't know how to explain it at the moment, but there was an ancient man who died for no reason and secretly drew a portrait of New Year's Eve. Xiao Nanzhu still felt a little unhappy about the fact that he was still hiding in this dilapidated cellar, but in the end, Xiao Nanzhu couldn't help but consulted Luo Jia, who had been working in the Museum of City B for a long time, before leaving some.

Because of the accidental discovery of the underground palace this time, Luo Jia is naturally full of admiration for Xiao Nanzhu. After all, more than ten years earlier, researchers of his grandfather's generation were all over China looking for where the last underground palace of the previous dynasty was. Now Being found by Xiao Nanzhu, it is actually under the museum where people come and go every day. Everyone felt dumbfounded and felt a burst of emotion in their hearts.

The cultural relics that were robbed during the war years have not been found so far. Many experts engaged in research feel sad and annoyed, but they are still helpless. The history of humiliation in the past cannot be changed. It is going on, now that this unexpected joy can be obtained, it will definitely be of great help to many future studies on history and culture, and for this matter, Xiao Nanzhu is noncommittal to Luo Jia's gratitude , with a cigarette in his mouth, he smiled casually and said,

"Don't even hold a commendation meeting to praise me. I can't bear the praise of the old professors. They found a royal tomb in their own wells, and the country only rewarded me with 50 yuan. Can you give me the reward I deserve? I'm satisfied after the settlement... But Lao Luo, you must know calligraphy and painting in this line of work. Let me ask you, have you ever heard of a painting called New Year's Eve Extinguishing Demon Picture? Which one in history is this? Painted by a painter?"

I couldn't help asking a question like this, Xiao Nanzhu's tone sounded quite casual, Luo Jia didn't take it seriously for a while, he naturally didn't know that there must be a reason for Xiao Nanzhu to ask such a question, plus he himself It is to study this aspect of things, so he frowned and thought about it seriously, the man who was also standing in front of Xiao Nanzhu smoking a cigarette at this moment shook his head blankly and said,

"I've never heard of this painting, but it sounds like a myth or legend? There are many mythological systems in our country. Except for Buddhism and Taoism, those scattered earlier have no detailed records. ...New Year's Eve? Is it a date or a person's name... But I have a friend who studies calligraphy and painting, why don't I pay attention to you, and I will tell you when I ask..."

Luo Jia's answer made Xiao Nanzhu frowned. Now he is really sure that he took something from the wrong place, so he didn't continue this topic at the moment, but since it is the drawn object, Maybe I can give him the answer on New Year's Eve, but in order for Luo Jia to have a general understanding, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Nanzhu still painted him the general appearance of the scroll and those unfamiliar fonts that he could recognize for some reason .

However, Xiao Nanzhu's painting skills had already been demonstrated when he was investigating the bloody disaster last time, so even though he gestured very seriously for a long time, Luo Jia couldn't laugh or cry after getting the graffiti like a ghostly drawing symbol. Xiao Nanzhu, who was so embarrassing once in a while, could only wave his hand embarrassingly and express,

"Just search for it. I have news that I invite you to dinner. I'm not sure what these words mean, but if I can find out which dynasty and generation it is..."

Saying this, Xiao Nanzhu, who had successfully concluded Suisui's safety, bid farewell to Luo Jia and went back. Zhang Chi happened to be discussing business in City B that day, and when he returned, he happened to take Xiao Nanzhu for another ride.

The grandson has relied on Xiao Nanzhu to set up a series of perfect schedules for going out for negotiations in the past two months. It has become more and more smooth. There are fewer rotten peach blossoms and more money in the door. No troubles, no deaths, no violations of laws and regulations. Not to mention how lucky it is, so for Xiao Nanzhu, a great benefactor, Zhang Chi, who has benefited, is naturally willing to be a good buddy, no matter what the request is, it is easy to negotiate.

Xiao Nanzhu is naturally very clear about Zhang Chi's psychology, but although it is a friendship that maintains interests, he really likes Zhang Chi's straightforward personality. The friendship between men is always reflected in eating, drinking and having fun. Some, but since we really became friends, we don't care so much about many things.At this moment, Xiao Nanzhu and Zhang Chi are playing cards on his private jet, and the beautiful long-legged stewardess is pouring red wine for Zhang Chi, her every move and smile is dignified and intellectual, she only likes men Mr. Xiao Nanzhu naturally just stared at the poker in his hand without squinting. Seeing this situation, Zhang Chi immediately hooked his lips into a smile, then moved closer to Xiao Nanzhu and said in a low voice,

"Master Li, why don't I introduce you to a handsome guy? The co-pilot at the front is pretty good, why don't I introduce you later..."

Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, Xiao Nanzhu glanced at him, and he threw a straight flush out. The poker in his hand was basically gone, because Xiao Nanzhu's luck was always scary, so no matter what kind of poker he played Zhang Chi usually surrenders at the end of the round, but this boring, stupid big money likes to challenge difficult ones, and seeing the loser, Zhang Chi is speechless and mutters that this card can't be played against Xiao Nanzhu, and he can't help laughing Yes, I leaned my back on the sofa and then said slowly,

"Thank you, Boss Zhang, but there are people around me recently, you have to be a good person, otherwise next time you see me, I might die..."

What he said is naturally a bit exaggerated, but looking at Xiao Nanzhu's expression, he knew that he was not being polite to him but that he really had a partner. When meeting him, I always feel that this is a person who can play better than him and dare to play. Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help being a little curious, thinking in his heart what kind of flower of Gaoling should be able to seduce Xiao Nanzhu Yes, but about this, Xiao Nanzhu said openly and directly,

"Just the one you saw last time when there was an accident at your unlucky construction site, the one who was all red and looked fierce..."

"Oh, I'll go, Teacher Li is so beautiful, so beautiful..."

As soon as I heard Xiao Nanzhu describe it like this, I immediately remembered it. Zhang Chi has been deeply impressed by New Year’s Eve. Hearing him say this naturally made him right. He actually didn’t dare to look at the man in red carefully that night, but With just a few glances, he also remembered that she was a good-looking and outrageous beauty. At that time, he felt that the relationship between this man and Xiao Nanzhu was not right. Now it seems that Xiao Nanzhu must have succeeded. Zhang Chi immediately smiled, and then said,

"No wonder you ignored me when I asked you to go out, okay, it's worth being a good person for such a person, but you still have to come when I ask you out some other day, my buddies want to know you, let's not mess up Come and talk about things, your partner can always understand, right..."

Xiao Nanzhu nodded at Zhang Chi's words, and they agreed. After that, the two of them played a few more cards to pass the time. After a while, Y arrived, because the plane was going to land at the empty space near Zhang Chi's home. , so when Xiao Nanzhu came down with Zhang Chi with his suitcase and coat, the co-pilot that Zhang Chi had just mentioned an hour ago chased after Xiao Nanzhu, and then suddenly walked to Xiao Nanzhu's side , and quickly stuffed a business card into Xiao Nanzhu's pocket.

This kind of behavior clearly means that Xiao Nanzhu has taken a fancy to Xiao Nanzhu, the expressionless Xiao Nanzhu didn't say anything, he just watched this handsome man appear and run away inexplicably, Zhang Chi blinked his eyes when he saw this, He coughed in embarrassment before explaining,

"He fell in love with you when you took my plane to City B. He came here to ask me because he wanted to get to know you. Let me tell you that it's not my fault, and I didn't know you had someone..."

Xiao Nanzhu didn't say anything about Zhang Chi's explanation. After all, he had seen this kind of active pursuit from men before. It was a headache to deal with it just in the army. He really didn't meet the right one before, so he didn't look for it. A stable partner, now that he has agreed to be with New Year's Eve, he naturally has to take care of himself. Thinking of throwing the bronzing business card to Zhang Chi, he waved his hand and stopped a taxi and went home. It happened to be dark in the old apartment in the old district of the city.

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, you are back from a business trip..."

Aunt Liu who lived opposite his house happened to bump into him when he walked into the community. Xiao Nanzhu is usually elusive, and this aunt who stays at home is actually very rare to know him. When cleaning at home, Xiao Nanzhu deliberately asked Xiao Nanzhu to go to the opposite door to borrow dish soap, so at this moment, he subconsciously smiled and greeted Xiao Nanzhu, who just came back from the outside and looked a little dusty, and this enthusiastic aunt While talking, she entered the corridor, and along the way, the aunt asked worriedly,

"Mr. Xiao, have you forgotten to turn off the lights when you go out these few days? I keep seeing lights on in the cracks of your door. Isn't there no one else in your house? Could it be a thief or something..."

"Oh, my partner is at home, it's okay, it's not a thief."

With such a gentle smile, Xiao Nanzhu thought it was New Year's Eve when he was at home, so he replied casually. The enthusiastic Auntie Liu's eyes widened when she heard this, and her expression was unbelievable. The news is not well-informed, and she doesn't even know that the single man who lives in the opposite door has a partner. This aunt with a complicated expression instantly grabbed Xiao Nanzhu's hand and went upstairs, shaking her head while walking, and said,

"Let me just say, no wonder, my daughter-in-law also said that you live alone, you seem to have a partner... The young couple are used to living here together, right? I remember you just returned to your hometown before the Chinese New Year, right? In the future Let your partner come to my house to sit and sit, they are all neighbors, why don't you go out all the time..."

Aunt Liu's rambling words made Xiao Nanzhu a little helpless, but he is in a good mood now, so he is willing to accompany the old lady to talk a few words too much. After arriving at the gates of their respective houses, Aunt Liu is ready to go to her own home. , and seeing this, Xiao Nanzhu put the box in his hand and was about to open the door, but he couldn't find the key after searching around, but Aunt Liu behind him saw that he couldn't find the key, so she came over enthusiastically to help, But Xiao Nanzhu, who was very confused about this, could only shake his hands and then said,

"Hey, no need, I'll ask my partner to open the door, you go back first... New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve?"

Knocked on the door a few times, calculating the time, he should be at home on New Year's Eve, Xiao Nanzhu heaved a sigh of relief even after knocking a few times, and the sound of footsteps gradually resounded, but the old door of his house opened, and came out But it wasn't New Year's Eve, but a beautiful girl about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in light green clothes.

Seeing this strange little girl, Xiao Nanzhu was taken aback, and he frowned. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that today happened to be the vernal equinox, because among the many solar terms, this God of Calendar has always been famous for his lively personality. , so Xiao Nanzhu also heard other calendar gods complain about the many troubles this naughty little girl caused everyone.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Nanzhu and Aunt Liu standing side by side at the door, the God of Li rolled his eyes immediately, and a bad idea popped up in his mind. After the man pulled it out, Chunfen didn't care about Xiao Nanzhu and New Year's Eve looked at each other for a moment, his complexion changed instantly, sweet dimples bloomed, and then he yelled in a childish voice,

"Dad, why did you come home~ Mom and I miss you so much at home (^o^)/"

Xiao Nanzhu: "......"

Aunt Liu: "..."
