"Buy lanterns, I won't post couplets this year, please."
Passing by a store selling lanterns, Lu Zhou suddenly proposed.
Shangguandian looked at him and said with a sneer, "It's the same as the couplets you posted in previous years."
"Exactly!" Lu Sheng curled his lips, "Uncle Shangguan and I post it every year, and it's not you who are in trouble."
"Then I'm saving you trouble?" Lu Zhou picked up a few pairs of lanterns at random, and continued: "In recent years, even fireworks have not been allowed to go off, and the taste of the New Year has faded a lot. It doesn't matter whether the couplets are posted or not. "
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Master, do you understand the sense of ritual? After all, it's Chinese New Year, and the sense of ritual is indispensable."
"Okay, it's up to you." Lu Zhou shrugged, "You can choose the couplet, and don't call me when you post it."
Shangguandian smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you are not needed when there are few people in the past, and even less so this year."
Lu Zhou gave him a sideways look, and continued to do New Year's shopping elsewhere.
Ye Luo and Shen Lao were fascinated by all kinds of food, buying this and that.
The two didn't stop until Lu Zhou said that the car couldn't fit.
That night, Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Jun Hao posted couplets upstairs and downstairs, front and back.
The lanterns that Lu Zhou bought were also hung up, and it looked really festive.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian went out to buy meat and vegetables again.
Because the market will continue to open on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you have to buy two days' worth of vegetables.
Lu Sheng also grabbed Chu Sihan and Jun Hao to help him clean the house inside and out.
In fact, these things can be solved with a single spell, but because of Jun Hao's presence, they cannot be implemented.
Furthermore, Lu Sheng felt that cleaning by himself would give him a sense of accomplishment.
In the evening, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian prepared a sumptuous dinner and brought out the red wine that had been stored for a long time.
Jun Hao has lived in the Lu family for a while, and he has gotten used to the Lu family's way of life, and he is not as stiff as he was at the beginning.
Seeing Lu Zhou take out the wine, he offered to let him drink it.
Lu Zhou was also polite and handed him the red wine directly.
Ye Luo and Shen Lao had been in this world for quite some time, but they had never drank red wine.
When going out to drink, most of them are beer or liquor. At home, Luzhou and Shangguandian rarely drink alcohol unless there are guests.
Therefore, when the two clinked glasses with everyone, everyone just sipped, but the two of them just took a sip.
Seeing that everyone's wine was still there, both of them were stunned.
"Why don't you finish your drink?" Ye Luo asked.
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Red wine needs to be tasted in small sips, who told you to finish it?"
"Why can't red wine be stuffed in one sip?" Shen Lao didn't understand.
"If you drink red wine too quickly, you will only feel an astringent taste. You have to taste it slowly to appreciate its deliciousness."
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he swirled the red wine in the goblet again, and put it to his lips to taste it gracefully.
Mr. Shen nodded half-understood, hurriedly poured himself a little more, then imitated Lu Zhou's movement, shook it, and then took a small sip.
I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, but he feels that drinking this way is indeed more delicious than a sip of boredom.
"We're going to watch the New Year's Eve tonight, let's play mahjong all night." Elder Shen suggested.
He has recently become obsessed with fighting the landlord and playing mahjong.
"Don't fight." Lu Zhou said, "Just watch TV."
"If you don't fight, don't we still have so many people?" Elder Shen looked at Shangguandian and asked, "Demon King, are you fighting?"
