"It's Chinese New Year, and as expected, I still didn't make it back before the New Year. I really can't spend the New Year with my parents and brothers this year."
Liu Sisi said with some regret.
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Kuanlong got off the carriage in front and called out.
"Sisi, there's a dragon dance performance going on up ahead. Do you guys want to come down and watch the fun?"
Dragon dance is a traditional cultural activity in the Tianlong Kingdom, and it is held in every slightly bustling city center during the Spring Festival.
Luo Kuanlong was also a little disappointed that he couldn't go home to spend the New Year with Xia Wanwan and Ling'er, but he thought that he still had a daughter by his side! At least he could spend the New Year with his youngest daughter!
"Okay, let's go, Sister Tiantian, Sister Xiaoyue, let's get off the bus and take a look."
Liu Sisi, holding the hands of the two little girls, followed Luo Kuanlong toward the dragon dance event.
The Liu Residence.
Madam Wu watched as the servants bustled about, setting up the house for the New Year.
Paste couplets, paste the character "福" (fortune), hang lanterns, and prepare New Year's Eve dinner.
Despite seeing the festive colors throughout the house, she couldn't feel happy.
"I wonder what His Majesty has sent my daughter to do. She hasn't come back even though it's already the New Year!"
Wu muttered to herself.
The maidservant beside her saw that the old lady was in low spirits and knew that she must be missing her young lady, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only hope that her young lady would come back soon.
Liu Dashi also got up early and stood at the gate of the house, looking outside.
After looking for a long time without seeing any sign of his daughter's carriage, he had no choice but to return to the courtyard somewhat disappointed.
At this moment, Liu Sifu and Li Caiping came out of their room. Seeing the worried looks on their mother and father's faces, they knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Mother, where did my second brother, third brother, and fourth brother go?" Liu Sifu asked, deliberately breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"I don't know, your third and fourth brothers dragged your second brother out early this morning."
Liu Dashi replied sullenly. He couldn't be bothered with those two brats who only knew how to practice swordsmanship all day long. He was thinking about his daughter right now!
“Mother, I received a letter from my fifth brother a few days ago. He said he would be home by noon today,” Liu Sifu said again.
"Really? Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some of your fifth brother's favorite dishes."
Besides Liu Sisi, Liu Sixi is the only other person in the family, and they only see each other a few times a year.
Ms. Wu also missed Liu Sixi very much. After saying this, she got up and went to the kitchen.
For more than a year, Liu Sixi not only followed Jiang Shenyi's medical skills, but also visited Jiang Shenyi's various pharmacies across the country to check their accounts.
In addition, he himself loved to study all kinds of elixirs that were good for the body, such as those that could strengthen the body, prolong life, and nourish the body's vital energy.
He would also try any prescriptions from that traditional Chinese medicine book that he couldn't make.
Although his medical skills are not as good as those of Doctor Jiang, they are still many times better than those of ordinary doctors.
His reputation is widespread, and many patients seek his medical treatment.
So he was so busy that he wished he could be split into two people. Although Doctor Jiang also assigned him two servants, they could only assist him, and he still had to do most of the work himself.
In addition, like Doctor Jiang, he prefers to do research alone and doesn't like having people around him.
Being his servant was really easy. Apart from some daily chores, he was free to do whatever he wanted. In any case, he couldn't disturb his master when he was alone.
At this moment, Liu Sile also came out of her room.
"Father, elder brother, sister-in-law, has my sister not returned yet?"
Liu Sifu glanced at his seventh brother, who was still quite immature, but said nothing.
He thought to himself, "Why does he have to bring up such a sore spot? Didn't you see I just managed to soothe Mother, and Father isn't even better yet! And this brat is already adding fuel to the fire."
Seeing Liu Sifu's unpleasant expression, Li Caiping was afraid he would get angry with his younger brother during the New Year, so she went up to Liu Sile and said something.
"Come on, Lele, your sister-in-law bought a lot of candies and delicious and exquisite pastries yesterday. Come with her to the hall and have a taste."
Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Liu Sile, despite thinking of her sister, still went with her sister-in-law. She figured she could think of her sister later after she finished eating.
Training ground.
Today is Chinese New Year. Liu Dashi has already given Master Fang a New Year's gift and let him go on holiday. There are only 40 boys and girls here now, as well as Wang Dani and Wang Erni.
They had already made new clothes for them and given each of them two taels of silver to buy some New Year's goods and snacks.
But early in the morning, Liu Siping and Liu Si'an dragged Liu Siqiang over.
They were determined to show their second brother how much they had improved in martial arts, so now, from number one to number forty, they were all lining up to receive the two brothers' "sparring."
Apart from Wang Dani and Wang Erni, who were her sister's personal maids, she was not brought along.
It was supposed to be a friendly sparring match, but apart from number one and number six, everyone else couldn't last long against them.
The two had already mastered the combined sword technique to the fourth level, but they couldn't break through to the fifth level, which made them very anxious.
I often want to find someone to spar with and see where I am lacking.
Liu Siqiang looked at his two incredibly strong younger brothers and didn't know what to say.
Compared to his two younger brothers, he is indeed a frail scholar.
After they had beaten everyone down, the two men, still not satisfied, walked up to Liu Siqiang.
"Second brother, what do you think of the two of us?" Liu Si'an asked impatiently.
"That's impressive, but why did you send me here? I know nothing about martial arts, so what did you call me here for?"
"It's Chinese New Year, and instead of enjoying the holiday at home, you two dragged me here to watch you practice martial arts," Liu Siqiang said with some complaint.
