Chapter 448 New Year's Eve
Lu Qiu smiled and asked, "How did you spend New Year's Eve in the past?"
"How do I spend my time?" Xia Wange thought for a while, "Sleeping, drawing talismans, watching TV, playing games. If Zhao Wan is in City A, she will drag me to the bar..."
"It's quite rich?" Lu Qiu's voice was a little gritted.
"It's quite rich." Xia Wange, "So you don't have to worry about me getting bored alone, after all..."
"But I'd be bored without you." Lu Qiu interrupted Xia Wange, "The chef is on holiday today, the aunt and housekeeper are also on vacation, the driver is also having a reunion dinner at home, and I'm drinking."
"So?" Xia Wange asked doubtfully.
"So can you take me in?" Lu Qiu's voice on the phone was full of laughter. "I was fine when I came here, and it was easy to get a taxi. But when I got here, I found that I couldn't go back. What should I do?"
When Xia Wange heard this, she walked to the window and saw Lu Qiu standing in the open space in front of the door holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Lu Qiu's voice came from the phone again, "Xia Xia, what should I do? If you don't take me in, I will have to sleep on the street. Isn't that pitiful?"
"It's quite pitiful." Xia Wange laughed, "Wait, I'll open the door for you."
Opening the door, Xia Wange glanced at the bouquet in Lu Qiu's hand. It was red and yellow. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are there yellow flowers again..."
When she got closer, she found that what Lu Qiu was holding was not flowers, but a bouquet of yellow talisman papers, with a small bottle of cinnabar in the middle of each talisman paper.
Xia Wange was amused. She took the bouquet and looked at the cinnabar inside.
"I'll take care of all your cinnabar and talisman paper for next year." Lu Qiu said with a smile.
"It can be used for more than a year." Xia Wange took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and slapped it into Lu Qiu's hand. "After all, I can draw talismans in the void now. I use that now."
Lu Qiu holding a hundred yuan: "......"
So the promise of one hundred yuan for drawing a talisman in the void is still valid?
When Cao Niannian saw Mr. Lu coming, she was completely relieved and happily took Zhou Xingwang out for a trip. Lu Qiu heard that Cao Niannian would take Zhou Xingwang with her wherever she went. After they left, he couldn't help but ask, "Are Cao Niannian and Zhou Xingwang together? Can humans and ghosts be together?"
"Humans and ghosts have different paths." Xia Wange poured out some cinnabar that Lu Qiu had given her. Well, it was indeed much better than the ones she bought. She had been reluctant to use such good cinnabar unless it was something serious. Alas, it was only after she learned how to draw talismans in the void that the amount of cinnabar she used was greatly reduced.
"Then why don't you remind them to pay attention to their relationship..."
"Will the reminder be useful?" Xia Wange dipped cinnabar in it and quickly drew a blessing of peace. "They originally had a ghost marriage, but I dismantled it. Even after the dismantling, they can still get along so well with one person and one ghost. This is not something I can decide. I'm not Meng Po."
Lu Qiu was silent, "Then they..."
"Humans and ghosts have different paths, but I can protect them." Xia Wange put a drawn amulet aside without looking up and started drawing another one. "It doesn't matter if they want to continue like this, or even if a human and a ghost want to get married in the end, as long as they are here, I can guarantee that they will be fine."
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange's calm profile, and his heart beat faster.
It's very strange that Xia Wange always likes to brag or exaggerate about some things, but she downplays some really big things. When she said these words, it was like a stabilizing force, making people feel safe and secure.
"I will give these amulets to your family tomorrow." Xia Wange put her hands on her hips and looked at a row of amulets. Then she walked aside and took out a stack of money.
She stood in front of Lu Qiu, looked at him and said, "If I didn't draw the talisman in the void for others, I would look like a liar. I would draw the talisman in the void for your family tomorrow. I used to wonder why we still need to use money when we have electronic payment. Now it seems that physical objects still have the sense of reality. If I use the talisman in the void, I might be so blessed that I faint, but others still don't feel anything. Don't you think so?"
Every time he spoke, Xia Wange would slap a hundred yuan into Lu Qiu's hand. Lu Qiu looked at the hundred yuan stacked up in his hand, his expression gradually becoming helpless.
The magic needle that stabilizes the sea?
Um?
Did he just have another brain seizure?
Definitely.
.
New Year's Day.
Mother Lu, Father Lu, and some other relatives of the Lu family who came to visit were waiting in the hall early.
If it happened to someone else, the relatives of the Lu family would definitely talk about Mother Lu, asking her to act like a future mother-in-law. How could an elder wait for the younger generation?
But now...
Both Mother Lu and Father Lu were woken up by them knocking on the door.
As soon as the sky got light, they came with their families.
Some of them even came from Beijing.
This year, the older generation in the family was on vacation and recuperation and did not return home, so they did not gather together. Instead, they traveled around to celebrate the New Year. Their first stop was City A to see Master Xia... Oh, no, they wanted Master Xia to see them.
"Oh, sister-in-law, your dress is too informal. Come here, I have a new silk scarf here, you can put it on, and this hair, yes, let's put it on, let's make it more formal."
Mother Lu: “…”
"Sister! Find me a beautiful bowl. I brought back some local specialties from my travels. They said they can be eaten after steaming. I'll serve them out later for everyone to taste."
Mother Lu: “…”
There weren’t so many people at her house during the Chinese New Year in the past, and she never thought her family members were so talkative before.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the door god pasted on the door. At first, they were very disgusted and said why such a door god was pasted on the door, which was half-hearted and out of place.
But after hearing that it was painted by Xia Wange, he immediately said that Master Xia is truly a contemporary Picasso, his paintings are about form and meaning, not just appearance, and it is obvious that they are the work of a master.
He also said that Lu Qiu's name was well chosen and it sounded very suitable for Master Xia.
Mother Lu still remembers when she was pregnant with Lu Qiu, they all said that both mom and dad’s surnames were Lu, and since it was the second child, they should just call him Lu Lu…
"Red envelope!" Lu's aunt clapped her hands, "Not enough cash! Brother, lend me some first and I'll transfer it to you."
As soon as this topic was brought up, others hurriedly said that the cash was not enough. In the end, everyone looked at the money on the table in silence, wondering if the amount of the red envelope was a little too much.
Mother Lu said, "Let me make this clear first. It's New Year's Day, and no one is allowed to bring it up unless Master Xia brings it up first. And you know what kind of person Master Xia is. If there's really something, she won't keep it to herself."
