Tian Gudao.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother is here to see you." Li Junze turned the prayer beads in his hands, looked at the person in front of him with iron chains, and said calmly.

"Hexuan is here." Li Mu'an raised his head slightly, and looked at the man in front of him. Even though he was in a wheelchair, even in such a prison, he still couldn't hide his demeanor.

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, my brother brought you Xiangfei Cake. There is nothing good in this prison. This is what you used to eat. Try to eat some."

"Oh! It's hard for He Xuan to remember." Li Mu'an's eyes showed a hint of guilt.

"How dare you forget, not only my younger brother can't forget, I'm afraid my elder brother won't forget either."

"That's right." Li Mu'an picked up a piece of Xiangfei Cake with his dirty hands, and as he moved, the iron chain on his wrist rattled.

"How does it taste? Does it still smell like grandma's cooking?" Li Junze looked at the environment in the room, it was simple and dirty, and the only good thing was that it was still warm.

"I haven't tasted Grandma's handicraft before, so if I want to compare it with this one, it's not bad."

"Grandma's craftsmanship has always been good. It's a pity that Brother Huang has never tasted it."

"Well, it's a pity." Li Mu'an seemed to be feeling regretful.

Li Junze quietly watched Li Mu'an eat up all the pastries in the box, and then asked the servant to push him away.Before going out, I heard Li Muan ask: "I heard that the third prince who is the best in the capital has taken a fancy to a little fat man, does that little fat man look like him?"

Li Junze Naruto pushed the wheelchair and continued to walk. After leaving the door, he said softly: "Li Qingping, it's just my brother." Afterwards, the door was closed again.

Li Muan watched the rare light disappear again, and his whole body was once again plunged into darkness.He was dazed for a while, smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, held the string of beads similar to the one in Li Junze's hand, and counted them one by one.

"Jibai, don't leave. Run'er is here too. It's not too late to leave after dinner." Xu Liuer, her own nephew, gave way.

Xu Jibai glanced at Qi Bao, seeing that he just curled his lips, he responded with a smile, "Yes, thank you to the white-collar."

Qi Bao spontaneously sat down on Xu Liuer's warm couch, took off his shoes, and nestled himself in the comforter of the kang, curling up into a ball.Xu Liuer touched Qi Bao's body, "It's so cold, what are you doing?"

Zhang Run hid himself behind Qi Yi, pinched Qi Yi's arm, and Qi Yi had no choice but to reply: "Uh... just now we made a snowman together, and played for a while... snowball fights."

"You took your little uncle to be mischievous again, and it was frozen carefully. Your father didn't peel your skin."

Qi Yi lowered his head and looked like he was being trained honestly. Qi Bao hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, don't talk about Yi'er. If you don't accompany them, my brother will be suffocated to death. You also know that my brother restrained me again." And Run'er, who fell into the snow just now, seems to be catching cold, so hurry up to the kang to keep warm."

Zhang Run is only four or five years older than Qi Bao, but he is a junior, so he doesn't have so many taboos.Naturally, Xu Liu'er felt sorry for her nephew, so she hurriedly asked Zhang Run to go to the kang to warm up, and then asked someone to bring clean clothes in exchange.

Then Zhang Run came out from behind Qi Yi, blinked at Qi Bao, took off his shoes and got on the kang, and followed Qi Bao's example, and got into the quilt of the kang.

Xu Liu'er hurriedly brought Zhang Run out, "Look at the monkey's anxious look, he looks a bit like your little uncle. Look at the snow on his body and head, wipe it off first." Then he took the snow from the servant's hand He wiped Zhang Run's face with a towel, and then covered his head to absorb the water that had seeped into his hair after the snow melted.

Zhang Run smiled and let Xu Liuer fiddle with his head, giggling from time to time.

Xu Liuer also laughed, this year all the family members came to work, tomorrow Qi Xin who visited her husband's house who has never been here before will come back, once he comes back, the family members will be complete.

Qi Xin is the youngest child of Xu Liuer and Qi Yu, and the only brother. After the fourteenth year, she is already engaged, and will marry the next year.It is almost a tradition for a brother who is engaged to be married to visit his future husband's house before the year. For those like Zhang Run who are going to visit soon, it is also possible to spend the New Year directly at her husband's house.

Qi Xin's husband's family is the eldest son of a local official's family. When Qi Bao came to Beijing, it was just in time for Qi Xin to leave Beijing, so Qi Bao had only heard of this nephew who was about the same age but had never seen it.

After wiping her hair, the servants brought clean clothes, Xu Liuer nodded Zhang Run's forehead, "Go behind the screen and change your clothes, how old you are, you still look like a child."

Xu Liuer's tone was full of pampering, Zhang Run stuck out her tongue and ran behind the screen on tiptoe without wearing shoes.Xu Liuer shook her head with a smile, she was really childish.

He went to touch Qi Bao's clothes and hair again, and they were slightly damp. Qi Bao smiled and said, "I'm wearing a hat, hat, gloves and cape. I'm just having fun, and I'm sweating a little. alright."

Xu Liuer smiled with satisfaction.

Zhang Run changed his clothes and walked out barefoot. The ground is warm and comfortable to step on, but Qi Yi walked over immediately, hugging Zhang Run with a red face, "It's cold on the ground, I don't know how to be careful. .”

Zhang Run kicked his feet, stretched out his hand to pinch Qi Yi's reddened cheeks, pulled the cheeks to the sides hard, and then made a... kiss.Although he didn't meet him, Qi Yi was startled so much that he let go of his hand and left Zhang Run on the ground.

"Be honest!" Qi Yi turned his head to bite Zhang Run's finger, so frightened that Zhang Run quickly withdrew his hands, which should be hugging Qi Yi's neck.

When Zhang Run found out that he had been cheated, he punched Qi Yi twice angrily, and acted like a baby in a low voice, "You villain!"

Not to be outdone, Qi Yi lowered his head and bit his ear and said, "You haven't seen it when it's even worse!"

After speaking, the two blushed together.

Several other people watched the two lovers flirting as if no one was watching, and covered their mouths, fearing that their laughter would startle them and make them more shy.

Over there, Qi Yi and Zhang Run chatted and laughed with each other for a while, and then suddenly realized that there were other people beside them. Qi Yi hurriedly put Zhang Run on the warm couch, and shouted, "Run'er, are you fat?" Why is it so heavy again, I can hardly hold you anymore!"

Zhang Run pouted, "I didn't ask you to hug me!"

After hearing this, several people immediately burst out laughing.Qi Yi was taken aback by the laughter, and suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, "No, no, I haven't hugged one before, really, really."

The more Qi Yi was anxious to defend, the more they laughed, and Qi Bao laughed so hard that he beat the quilt with his chubby fist.

Zhang Run originally kicked Qi Yi, complaining that he said something wrong, and seeing Qi Bao laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he couldn't help laughing too.

As a result, except for Qi Yi, everyone in the room laughed, pursed their lips, or snickered, only Qi Yi was there with a bitter face.The younger Zhang Run was, the more he couldn't stop laughing, and finally sat down on the edge of the soft couch laughing, lying in Qi Yi's arms and hiccupping.Qi Yi couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed along with everyone.

Xu Jibai kept looking at Qi Bao, seeing the playful curiosity and a touch of admiration flashing in his eyes.This little fat man, when he had a snowball fight just now, he was really nimble, and specifically threw him at him.Every time he wanted to fight back, the little fat man would hide behind Qi Yi or Zhang Run.

The most irritating thing was that the little fat man seemed to have spotted him, and only hit him alone, while Qi Yi and Zhang Run even teamed up with the little fat man, and they all started to attack him.After all, he had practiced the moves for a few days, so it was more than enough to avoid them.It's just that the little fat man recruited the little fat man a few times. The little fat man's heart is too dark, like glutinous rice balls, with white skin and black sesame filling, and a kind face and a dark heart.Start quickly and accurately, without mercy.

Xu Jibai touched his chin, the little fat man really treated him differently from others, although this difference is not a good thing at present, but is it different after all, Xu Jibai thought optimistically.

After dinner in the evening, the curfew was lifted due to the approaching Chinese New Year, so Xu Jibai stayed to talk to everyone again.Qi Bao took out a pair of mahjong molds and wanted to teach everyone how to play mahjong.

When Qi Bao was young in his previous life, he went to his grandma's house in the countryside with his parents to celebrate the New Year, and he often watched the adults play mahjong.After he grew up gradually, he also joined the ranks of playing mahjong.Later, after his grandma and parents passed away one after another, he never went to the countryside again, and he had no other relatives. Every year during Chinese New Year, he would recall the sound of the family playing mahjong together, which was very warm and kind.

When Qi Bao was in the countryside, he had the idea of ​​becoming a mahjong player, but he never made it because of one or another reason.Now at Old Brother Qi's place, he is bored every day, so he took the time to carefully draw the model, and described it to the craftsman several times, before he made a pair of sapphire mahjong.

Qi Bao looked at the finished product, and it was obvious that the engraver on it was more than a little or two better than his painter, so Qi Bao was very satisfied.

They were neatly stacked in a sandalwood box, and a piece of flannelette three feet square was prepared, folded squarely and placed on top of the mahjong.

Opening the sandalwood box, the first thing you see is a lotus-colored flannelette. Qi Bao neatly spreads the flannelette on the square table, and then grabs the small rectangular cubes in the box and puts them on the flannel.

After putting everything away, Qi Bao looked at the few people with a smile and introduced, "This is mahjong."

Xu Liuer, Zhang Run, and Xu Yun each took a seat, while Qi Bao stood on the other side.While arranging them one by one into strips, he said, "You follow my example and put them on top of each other after arranging."

The other three followed Qi Bao's example and arranged the mahjong in two piles, two piles, two piles in a row, and completed the preliminary study.

Then Qi Bao explained how to throw dice, how to draw cards, how to play cards, the rules of playing mahjong, what counts as winning cards, and how to count the chips after that.

It has to be said that the talents of the ancients are infinite. Qi Bao only explained it once, and Xu Liuer and Xu Yun understood it. Although Zhang Run still had some doubts, he also understood the basic rules.Qi Yi moved a chair and sat behind Zhang Run. The two of them played cards. When Zhang Run didn't understand, Qi Yi could point out from the side.

Qi Yu and Qi Xian were also standing behind his brother, Qi Bao said, this is called "betting", if there is no money, the people behind will be an inexhaustible small treasury.Qi Bao had already foreseen that tonight, he would count the money until his hands were soft.

Xu Jibai was also very interested in this "entertainment activity". Anyway, there were people standing beside the other people, so he moved a stool and sat next to Qi Bao in an open and honest manner.

Qi Bao and the others played the simplest Liaoyuan mahjong, requiring [-] pieces of mahjong.There is no problem if there is no southeast and northwest wind, no problem if there is no demon and Duan Jiu, and no problem if there is no big cha.Even when there is no big cha, and there is a shortage of palms, you can put a palm first, and then use it.The medium white is even more edible.Of course, you can also break the door. If there is only one door left, then you will have more chips to win.
