On the 11th year of Yong'an, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, it snows heavily!

Qiantang City is decorated with lights and a festive atmosphere. The world covered with silver seems to be made of salt and is made of powder and jade, which is so beautiful. Jingyuan is very lively inside and outside. As the end of the year approaches, Sajinfang is temporarily closed for rest. Everyone has returned to the city. More than fifty people gathered together. Even if they don’t make a noise, they seem much noisy than before, filling the deserted yard with vigorous vitality.

Xu You lifted the cotton curtain from outside, exhaled white breath from his mouth, stomped his feet, rubbed his hands and said, "This weather is like snow like goose feathers, both urgent and dense, and it is really a life-threatening!"

Lufrost and autumnal equinox, and the winter solstice were sitting around the stove, holding needles and threads in their hands, and busy sewing new clothes for Xu You for the New Year. It was almost the same, just simply repairing the corners. Xu You originally meant, just like everyone else, you can customize it in a weaving workshop outside, but Lufrost did not follow it. After all, what was done outside was not close to the body, so she insisted on pulling the cloth and sewing it by herself. However, Xu You had reservations about Lufrost's craftsmanship. He did not touch the spring water, so he would still say whether he would use needles and threads. Sewing clothes, and not sewing the sleeves to his waist was considered good.

Yu Tu was watching the ginger soup boiled on the fire next to him. Her daughter Hexi Chounu sat silently on the side, her eyes dull and unconscious, which was not much different from when she first came.

The autumnal equinox hurried over to help Xu You dust off the snowflakes on his shoulders. Yu Tu poured a bowl of ginger soup and sent it to him. This little bit of vision has improved much more than before. Xu You took it and drank it, slowly gentler it, and said, "All the things you should buy are almost done. You all work hard at noon. I ask Wu Shan and Li Mu and the others to help. The soup and food are more abundant. Everyone will gather to have the New Year's Eve dinner together in the evening."

Lu Shuang lowered the needle and thread and asked, "Xiao Lang, according to custom, four green rocks should be buried in the four corners of the house. Have you buried it?"

"What are the rules? It's just burying stones. You have to go to Jinglu, Tianshidao's Jinglu to find a Taoist official to paste talismans! Qiantang now has only one Jinglu, and it's still pitiful. Yan Yang used a ox cart to carry Qingshan stones. There was a long queue outside the door. It was not our turn to wait until it was dark. It seemed that there was no way, so he had to pull it back."

"That's not true. Qingshan Stone has no talismans and cannot have the effect it should be. Burying stones to cure houses and drive away evil spirits is not a joke!" The Winter Solstice stood up in a hurry and said, "I'll go!"

Xu You had no time to stop it, and the Winter Solstice had disappeared outside the door, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "As for it? Why don't I write two words, one town, one house, and bury it on top of stones."

Lu Shuang said softly: "This rule has been done for many years. Everyone has been used to it. Please be at ease. As for whether it is effective or not, it doesn't matter!"

"Okay, let her go!"

Xu You walked to the stove and reached out to roast the fire. He saw some paper-cuts in the bamboo basket next to his clothes, all in the shape of flying swallows, lifelike and vivid, and praised: "Who cut the sacred swallow? He has a very clever hand..."

Lu Shuang pointed to a maid and said, "It's Ananda. She has a very skillful hand. In fact, most of Xiaolang's clothes are made by her."

"Ananda?" Xu Youqi said: "The name Qiyi gave you?"

Ananda lowered his head, dared not look directly at Xu You, and said timidly: "Yes!"

When Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent, there were many names named after the scriptures and famous names of the two religions. This was nothing strange. The reason why Xu You was strange was that He Rubai was obviously not very interested in Buddhism, and he actually gave the maid who served him such a name, which was inevitable that he could not help but look weird.

"Since it's the name of it, just call it this one. Do you know the meaning of Ananda?"

Ananda raised his head with a courageous courage, looked confused, and said, "I don't know!"

"Ananda is happy, like the full moon in autumn, and his eyes are like green lotus. He is the most handsome disciple under the Buddha's seat, which makes people feel happy at first sight."

Ananda suddenly turned red with his face, and he said, "I am ugly, I dare not use such a name!"

"People have external appearances and internal appearances, and appearances are born from the heart. As long as they do things with their heart, always have good thoughts, and know how to advance and retreat, they are Ananda, and there is nothing they dare not use!"

"I know, I will definitely serve the Lord Qiyi in the future and live up to Ananda's name!"

Xu You smiled and said, "Just stop coming to Kashyapa. Jingyuan is Jingyuan, and I don't want to become Dade Temple."

Lu Shuang laughed and said, "Master Zhu from Dade Temple respects Xiaolang as a six-character teacher. Everyone knows all Qiantang. Even if there are more Ananda at home, Kashyapa is normal, right?"

Xu You said with a bitter face: "The monk can't do it..."

"How can the monk not do it?" He Ru opened the curtain and walked in, saying, "Does Qilang look down on the monk?"

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao, the guy with sharp teeth and sharp mouths is here!" Xu You turned around and said, "Have the gift been given?"

"Sent here! Gu Yun complained that the gift you gave was too heavy and seemed to be extraordinary. He gave back many things, which were more expensive than what we sent. Should we collect it or not?"

Xu You smiled and said, "It's okay, you should be a big deal. Friends have the right to be rich. He doesn't lack this, just accept it."

"Has Feng Hu returned from Fuchun?"

"I came back yesterday. Zhu Zhi was meticulous and thoughtful. He sent someone to deliver goods to us for so many years seven days ago. He had to go there without losing his politeness."

While the two were talking, Wu Shan, Li Mu, Cang Chu, Qi Huating and others came back to report their lives. They had traveled around the world these days and gave Xu You's handwritten books and gifts to Zhang Tong, Chen Qian, Bai Chengtian and other literati friends who had gathered in Ya. Some of them had far away from home and had to wait until the New Year before sending people to visit.

In the evening, when the Winter Solstice came back with a stone, wrinkled his nose, and said, "Bah, Tianshi Dao is really good to close the door. There is only one Taoist official in Jinglu, and he is still a young man with no beard. He speaks arrogantly and rudely. He is not as good as the words written by Xiaolang!"

Lu Shuang joked, "It turns out that it didn't work out, no wonder I'm so angry. It's okay, I rely on Haoran's righteousness to defend the house, not a few talismans. With Xiaolang here, it's more effective than anything else!"

"Okay, you actually arranged that Xiaolang is a housekeeper. I won't go and sue you!"

The Winter Solstice was about to leave, and Lu Shuang hurriedly grabbed her hand and said angrily: "What are you going? The kitchen is getting rid of ghost pills. There is a shortage of people. If you have nothing to do, hurry up and help the autumnal equinox."

"Okay, I'll go immediately after I report to Xiaolang. Also, I've actually done the Qingshanshi matter!"

"Adjust? How to do it properly?"

"Hehe, I asked the monk to make a method for Qingshanshi, which is no worse than the talismans of Tianshidao..."

Lu Shuang was confused and said, "Monk? Monks from Dade Temple? What are they joining in the fun?"

"Tianshidao can draw talismans, and Dade Temple can also be consecrated. Anyway, it's just a snatching business. You haven't seen that even Zhu Fayan is in charge of consecrating the green mountains and stones of the villagers. He has a kind attitude and a smile, not to mention how festive it is. By the way, Zhu Wulu has also come out. The little girl around him is circling three or four times inside and outside, shouting the nickname of Xue Monk, and she can't even squeeze in."

Lu Shuang frowned slightly and said, "The Buddhist and Daomen cannot accommodate two tigers. Dade Temple is so blatant that it may cause some trouble. Go quickly and report to Xiaolang, so it's better to prepare early!"

"Aren't I here to ask you? Where did Xiaolang go? I haven't found the front hall and the backyard..."

Lu Shuang patted her forehead and said, "Look at my memory. Xiaolang and the others have been going to see Fang Sinian, saying that he was... he said that he picked her out of seclusion today..."

Winter solstice curled his lips and said, "The little girl finally gave up? I wonder if she hasn't seen the sun for two or three months, is her skin getting whiter..."

Lu Shuang glared at her and said, "Don't ramble, go quickly!"

"Okay, okay, go now!"

The Winter Solstice went with a smile. Seeing Xu You and He Ru from afar, Zuo Qi stood outside Fang Sinian's room. She didn't know what to say. She walked closer and said, "Xiao Lang, I'm back!"

Xu You turned his head and smiled and said, "Has the stone been pasted with a talisman?"

"No..." The Winter Solstice was a little nervous. Strictly speaking, this matter was not approved by Xu You, and said, "However, I asked the monk to recite the scriptures and do the Dharma. It is said that I can also drive away evil spirits and keep the house..."

"Hey, the bald donkeys in Dade Temple are even fighting with the Tianshi Taoist Taoist?" He Ru snorted and said, "Zhu Fayan seems to be really anxious. He suffered a great loss from the Yaji Festival, and the Buddha statue in Jingqiu cannot be built. He is planning to use the many customs and habits of the New Year to compete with the Tianshi Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Tao

"A Zhu Wujue was forced to death in Dade Temple. Are you not allowed to fight back?" Xu You looked plain and didn't care, saying, "Let them go. For the New Year, don't be discouraged by this little thing!"

The Winter Solstice asked carefully: "Then, Qingshan Stone?"

"No matter whether it's white and black cats, it's a good cat to catch mice! Let Wu Shan bury the stone in the four corners. You are smart and flexible. This is a good thing, go!"

The winter solstice chick nodded like a pecking rice, smiling so hard that her eyes could not see, and said, "I think so too, but Xiaolang didn't understand it! No matter whether he is Tianshidao or Dade Temple, as long as he can exorcise evil spirits."

The door opened, and Shanzong came out from inside, looking shocked and said, "Langjun, she is so old..."

Xu You thought something was wrong and said, "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's wrong?"

"She, she has entered the ninth grade!"

"ah?"

Xu You was shocked. At first, Shanzong told him that Fang Sinian's entry might be able to be included in half a year. He didn't believe it at that time. He was extremely talented in the autumnal equinox, and learning the White Tiger Spirit was his own step-by-step teaching. It took three years to barely enter the ninth grade. Although Fang Sinian was blessed with the two superb skills of the two genres of the Death and the Bodhi Kung Fu, it was undoubtedly a fantasy to be included in half a year. But unexpectedly, in just three months, she had already passed the level of level and expanded the qi and strengthened the foundation to reach the level of Yin and Yang junction, and entered the ninth grade list like a rocket!

"Let's go, take a look!"

He Ru was very excited. When he entered the house first, Xu You and Zuo Qi followed closely. He only looked at Fang Sinian, Zuo Qi nodded and said, "No, it's really a product!"
Chapter completed!
