Chapter 133: Madam, Have a Happy New Year's Eve
"Come on, it's time for dinner!"
In the courtyard of Qingniu Temple, Zhang Qianyang put several tables together and filled them with food.
Black-hen chicken soup, mixed cakes, centenarian soup, sunflower soup, green rice, roasted lamb...
In a trance, Li Daoxuan seemed to have arrived at the New Year's Eve dinner in the future, but some of the dishes did not look good, such as the roasted lamb made by Sister Yu, which was a bit black...
Chen Ziyu kept looking at him coldly.
Although she changed into a plain cloth skirt, her radiance could not be concealed. For some reason, Li Daoxuan always felt that she seemed particularly beautiful tonight.
After looking for a long time, Li Daoxuan suddenly had an idea and finally found the reason.
She put on rouge!
There was a hint of redness on Chen Ziyu's fair and pretty face, making her look less cold and more radiant.
She used the Zui Hongyan that she had given herself.
Li Daoxuan quickly praised: "Sister Yu, this rouge looks so beautiful on you!"
Chen Ziyu didn't say anything, but her snow-white chin nodded slightly, and she finally looked away, no longer looking at him coldly.
Zhang Qianyang brought up two jars of wine and said, "You drink Tusu wine, and I drink my snake wine. We don't have to follow any rules. Just have fun. Come on, eat!"
Li Daoxuan asked in confusion: "Master, I am still in the fasting period, so I cannot eat, right?"
Zhang Qianyang smiled and said, "You are already in the late stage of fasting, and there is almost no foul air in your body. It's okay to eat meat occasionally. It's New Year's Eve, once a year, you can indulge yourself."
When Li Daoxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had been wanting to eat meat for a long time.
Without further ado, he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
Chen Ziyu took the initiative to pick up a piece of charred mutton for him with chopsticks, then held her chin and looked at him quietly.
Li Daoxuan gave a stiff smile.
…
The three of them enjoyed the sumptuous dinner very much.
Chen Ziyu also drank some wine. With a breath, she absorbed the essence of the wine into her body. Before she drank much, her face turned red, more obvious than rouge.
She was slightly tipsy but didn't last long before she got into the oil-paper umbrella.
But no one knew what she did in the oil-paper umbrella. The umbrella actually floated in the air to this and that. It was not until Li Daoxuan held it in his arms that it finally calmed down.
Zhang Qianyang also laughed at her for not being able to drink enough.
"Come on, disciple, let's continue drinking!"
Zhang Qianyang took a sip of snake wine and exclaimed: "This bottle of snake wine is really strong. Old Liu, the wine seller, has improved his skills!"
Li Daoxuan had swept away everything in a flash before, but now he was satisfied and was drinking and chatting with his master.
This snake wine seemed to have a really strong aftertaste. Li Daoxuan discovered that his master, who could usually drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, was actually starting to feel tipsy.
Zhang Qianyang was burping and his eyes were a little dazed.
He was in a good mood today, so he did not use his magic power to neutralize the alcohol. In addition, the snake wine was really strong, and he became more and more drunk.
Half an hour later.
Zhang Qianyang had his hair disheveled and was holding a wine jug, crying and sobbing.
"Grandpa, I am unfilial!"
"But luckily, I found you a good disciple!"
"Junior brother... my disciple... he broke through three levels in one year... Are you jealous?"
"Ningyan...Senior Brother misses you so much..."
Li Daoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. What did I just hear?
"Master, who is Ningyan? My aunt?"
He asked deliberately.
Zhang Qianyang burped, his face flushed, and he laughed, "Ningyan... hehehehe..."
Li Daoxuan felt a chill. There was definitely something fishy going on between these two people!
After hesitating for a moment, Li Daoxuan asked tentatively: "Master, where is my senior sister?"
It seemed that the master was slashed by the old master because of what happened to his senior sister. Since then, he left Longhu Mountain and wandered around the world.
This matter has always been a knot in Master's heart, and Li Daoxuan wants to get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Qianyang sighed deeply, feeling drunk, and took another big sip of snake wine.
"Taizhen... in Chang'an..."
Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Master, why did Senior Sister Taizhen betray Longhu Mountain back then?"
Zhang Qianyang glanced at him, his tongue a little knotted, and said intermittently: "Taizhen... is the reincarnation of an immortal... She is more powerful than you... "
"But she stole...stole Longhushan's—"
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qianyang fell onto the table with a plop and fell asleep, muttering, "Snake wine... strong enough... drink more..."
Li Daoxuan shook his head helplessly. Why didn't his master say anything when it came to the most critical point?
He carried his master back into the coffin, closed the coffin lid, cleaned up the dishes, and finally sat in the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, slightly dazed.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he took out the Qingming Order in his arms, sprinkled well water on it, and silently recited the name of the goddess.
After waiting for a long time, the clouds and mist rose, and the queen finally responded.
Li Daoxuan was startled, because this time the Lady in Green was not in the bedroom, but on the top of a mountain in the Qingming Realm. Her long skirt fluttered in the wind, shining brightly, and a guqin was placed , with the faint sound of a phoenix.
Solitary Mountain, the goddess, the guqin, all of these were as beautiful as an ink painting, but Li Daoxuan felt a little lonely for some reason.
This picture is too monotonous.
At this moment, the Lady in Green seemed to become very distant all of a sudden. She was the powerful deity who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and was in charge of the underworld, not the Lady who would chat and laugh with him like a friend.
"What is it?"
Lady in green said calmly.
Her voice was as clear and cold as moonlight , and had an indescribable majesty that made people feel awe and difficult to approach.
Obviously, Li Daoxuan's contact interrupted her interest in playing the piano.
Li Daoxuan looked at the ancient zither and knew that the Empress was definitely not in a good mood, because the name of the zither was Fengqizi, which was presented to the Empress by the ancestor of the Chu Ma lineage after he worked hard all his life.
The Empress regarded him as an old friend, and she must have felt a little sentimental when she played the piano on a moonlit night.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "My Lady, tonight is New Year's Eve. There is a tradition in my hometown that we should contact each other with relatives and friends on New Year's Eve."
New Year’s Eve…
The eyes of the lady in green moved.
She sighed softly and said, "It's New Year's Eve again."
"Yes, my lady, I'll show you a live broadcast. The world is still very lively."
Li Daoxuan jumped onto the beam with a smile, and turned the Qingming Order towards the bonfires , illuminating all living beings in the world.
They were either laughing heartily, or drinking together, or the women were whispering to each other, or the children were playing games in groups of three or five.
The lady in green looked at the scene quietly, her silent heart of Taoism was like a snow pond in early spring, quietly melting.
In a trance, she recalled a very distant memory. At that time, she was still the daughter of Yuzhang Taishou. Every New Year's Eve, the house was also so lively. Her mother would hold her hand and keep up the night with her.
But that was a thousand years ago.
"My lady, have a happy New Year's Eve."
Li Daoxuan turned the Qingming Realm towards himself and smiled as he held up an exquisitely decorated box.
"Your Highness, this is Zui Hongyan, the most famous rouge in Chang'an. You have helped me so many times, and I have no way to repay you. I will give this to your Highness as a New Year's Eve gift."
To be honest, the rouge in the world is not worthy of the fairy-like face of the Lady in Green, but Li Daoxuan thought about it and felt that there was no better gift.
Send a magic weapon?
Any item that the Lady in Green took from the treasury would make him extremely envious.
Although this rouge is ordinary, it is also a token of thoughtfulness.
Li Daoxuan even gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness, thinking that with the status and position of Lady Qingyi, no one would give her rouge from the human world. At least this gift was very novel.
The lady in green smiled slightly, shook her head, and waved her jade hand. The rouge in Li Daoxuan's hand turned into a streak of light and flew into her palm.
"I accept the gift."
After a pause, she said, "Happy New Year's Eve."
Li Daoxuan smiled and stepped forward and said, "My lady, how about you give me a gift in return——"
The Qingming Order suddenly became dim, and the queen had already left in a huff.
Li Daoxuan muttered, "What a loss! I didn't even get any return gift..."
Qingming Realm, Mount Yamfu.
Lady in green looked at the two identical boxes of rouge in front of her and couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
"This pair of senior siblings even gave the same gifts. They were really perfunctory..."
