As soon as Liu Xun and the emperor got off the car, they entered the Liu family compound. At this time, the Liu family compound was full of red lanterns, and big red characters of "Fu" were posted upside down on the wall.
Pasting the word "Fu" upside down is a Chinese folk custom, which means good fortune is coming!
Liu Xun remembers clearly that when he was a child, he saw his grandfather pasting the word "Fu" upside down on the wall, and he would ask: "Grandpa, why do you paste it upside down?"
Liu Zhang was younger at the time, and he shouted loudly: "Grandpa, you pasted it wrong, you pasted the words upside down..."
At that time, the old man laughed loudly, and then explained the reason and reason for pasting the word "Fu" upside down, and the two brothers suddenly understood.
Now, the old man is no longer around. Liu Xun looked at the big red word "Fu" on the wall and laughed softly. His laugh was very warm.
"Young Master, you're back!" A family member from the side branch saw Liu Xun and asked with a smile.
"Well, I just arrived. Is there anything I can help you with?" Liu Xun responded with a smile. After exchanging a few polite words with the collateral relative, he also helped to post the couplets.
Liu Xun walked to the gate of the Liu family compound and prepared to put up the couplets, but at this moment, Liu Yaozu came over and said with a smile: "Master, you can't put up the couplets on the gate like this. You must first invite the door gods! Only then can you put up the couplets."
"Ah? There are so many details to pay attention to." Liu Xun was stunned for a moment and put down the couplet.
"Our Chinese culture is very profound. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it." Liu Yaozu pasted the door god on the door, then took the couplet from Liu Xun and continued, "Young Master, go to the house first. The master is waiting for you."
"Okay, then Diyi, let's go." Liu Xun heard that Fourth Grandpa was looking for him and was about to go into the house, but Diyi shook his head and said, "You go by yourself, I'll play here for a while."
Di Yi's childhood was boring, because as a martial artist, he had to be familiar with ancient martial arts. He spent his childhood practicing martial arts, so he found things like pasting couplets very novel.
"Okay, then you can help to paste the couplets here." After Liu Xun finished speaking, he walked towards the house. When he entered the room, Liu Shizong was holding a bundle of long incense in his hand.
"Come on, follow me to the ancestral hall." Liu Shizong was very happy to see Liu Xun coming back, although he didn't say it! After all, Liu Xun was the only direct descendant of the Liu family, and the ancients said "generations are close", so Liu Shizong loved Liu Xun very much.
Liu Xun followed Liu Shizong and walked towards the ancestral hall. When they were halfway there, Liu Xun asked, "Fourth Grandfather, are you okay?"
Liu Xun knew that Liu Shizong had done a blood calculation in order to find him! He didn't know what blood calculation was before, but now that he was familiar with Qimen Dunjia and Bagua Yin Yang, he also knew what kind of heaven-defying divination method blood calculation was.
This is the divination method in Qimen Dunjia. Although you can know what you want to know, you have to pay a corresponding price! This price is five years of life! Just imagine, how many five years of life does a person have? Liu Shizong is already over 80 years old, and he did a blood divination for Liu Xun! This situation is really not very optimistic.
"Don't worry, Fourth Grandpa is in good health!" Liu Shizong responded casually in order not to make Liu Xun worry. As an old man, they are all for the younger generation! As long as the younger generation is well, they will be at ease.
"That's good." Liu Xun took a deep breath. Although he wanted to calculate Liu Shizong's life span, he was not yet at that level at his current level! Calculating a person's life span is almost the highest level of divination, which requires a thorough mastery of Qimen Dunjia and Bagua Yin Yang!
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, they still saw the familiar tablets, and Liu Shizong and Liu Xun knelt on the futon beside them. After Liu Shizong finished speaking some words of ancestor worship, Liu Xun also lit the long incense and placed it in the incense burner in the ancestral hall.
When everything was done, it was already six o'clock in the evening. After eating dumplings, they waited in the Liu's living room until eight o'clock. Liu Xun, Di Yi, Liu Yaozu and others gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala with Liu Shizong.
This scene is warm, the family is happy and laughing happily. Liu Xun laughed very easily. He didn't know when he hadn't felt as relaxed as he did today. This might be the power of his family, which made him miss this feeling.
It was not until midnight that everyone dispersed, and Liu Xun and Di Yi also returned to their rooms to sleep. After New Year's Eve, it was the Spring Festival! They visited every household until two o'clock in the afternoon, when hundreds of people from the Liu family gathered in front of the ancestral hall to send their ancestors away.
After completing all this, on the second day of the New Year, Liu Xun said goodbye to Liu Shizong, first visited Zhang's house, and then headed towards S City.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xun returned to City S, took a nap at his residence, and when he woke up it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Since it was the Chinese New Year, the house was very lively. Dapeng, Yue Xudong, Fengzi, Liu Zhang and others were all there, plus Diyi and Liu Xun, a total of six people.
Wang Yixuan and Wang Yikai were visiting relatives at home. Those who lived in the seaside villas went home as they should, and those who didn't have homes spent the New Year there. It was a very happy occasion.
"Brother Xun, you finally came back. What shall we play tonight?" Dapeng asked while Liu Xun was eating dumplings.
"What are you playing for? Are you playing for yourself? It's the third day of the New Year, how can any entertainment venue be open?" Liu Xun glared at Dapeng and said with a smile.
"Brother, how about we play until we reach the required level? Six people is just enough! I haven't played this for a long time." After Liu Xun finished eating, Liu Zhang also spoke up.
"Let's play poker! It's boring to play until the next level!" Yue Xudong shook his head and expressed his opinion.
"Let's just play until we reach a certain level. It will be more fun with more people." Liu Xun took a deep breath. After all, it was too troublesome for six people to play poker. It would be better to play until we reach a certain level.
"I don't know how," Di Yi frowned and said softly. He really didn't know how. He only practiced martial arts in his childhood and had never been exposed to these things.
"It's okay. It's easy to learn. I'll teach you." Yue Xudong volunteered to take on the task of teaching Di Yi. The madman obviously didn't understand much, so he squatted aside and listened to Yue Xudong. After about ten minutes, they roughly knew the rules.
They divided themselves into groups and chose the opposite door. Liu Xun, Liu Zhang and Dapeng were in one group, and Di Yi, Fengzi and Yue Xudong were in another group! They found four new decks of cards, and the six of them gathered around a table and started drawing cards.
Strangely enough, Liu Xun and his two friends had the worst cards in the first round, but they actually won! You have to know that if you win the first round, it will be difficult to turn the tables unless you have very good cards.
The game lasted from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock at night. Yue Xudong kept losing, while Liu Xun kept winning! If this continued, Di Yi and Fengzi would not be happy. They had just learned how to play, but they kept losing. No matter who they were, they would feel bored. (To be continued)
