The last day of the year is called New Year's Eve among the people.

Tonight, most people will have the most sumptuous meal in a year, and then give some New Year's money to their younger children. The children will wear new clothes, and then the whole family will wait until midnight to set off some firecrackers. It’s the Chinese New Year.

The undercurrent in the divine capital seems to have finally stopped today, or perhaps everyone has a tacit agreement to stop today and pile up all these things until tomorrow before starting again.

The people at Zuowei Yamen are also sleeping today, but only half of them, and the other half have to stay behind. They have to celebrate the New Year, but monk Fang Wai doesn't care if today is New Year's Eve, so even today, he can't take it lightly. Originally, Chen Chao He planned to stay in Zuowei Yamen. After all, he had no so-called home in Shendu. This New Year's Eve would be just like that. However, Weng Quan, who had always been dim-witted, now said that he had nowhere to go. He wanted to stay in the Yamen for Chen Chao.

Although Weng Quan is a native of Shendu, he actually doesn't have many relatives. In previous years, he probably spent New Year's Eve with Song Lian. Now that Song Lian is still in the north and has not returned, Weng Quan naturally has nowhere to go in Shendu. , in this case, it is better to stay in Zuowei Yamen.

It's just that Weng Quan has nowhere to go, and Chen Chao may not have anywhere to go. He looked at Weng Quan with some embarrassment and hesitated to speak.

Weng Quan asked tentatively, "It's the Chinese New Year, and the commander doesn't have anywhere to go?"

Chen Chao glanced at Weng Quan with a strange look on his face. He had no relatives or friends in Shendu. His only friend was probably Xie Nandu, but Xie Nandu was from the Xie family. If nothing else happened, she would definitely return to the Xie family now. Then He can't find a place to go alone. Is it possible that he can go to Princess Anping's palace now? In other words, even if the princess wants him to go, Chen Chao doesn't want to face the princess.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Chao was about to speak when a head popped out from the door of Zuowei Yamen. Chen Chao turned around and saw that it was Liu Ye.

As Xie Nandu's personal maid, Liu Ye must be with her unless Xie Nandu doesn't want her to follow. The fact that she appears here now explains the problem.

"The lady said that it's boring to be alone during the New Year. Do you want to spend the New Year with her?"

Liu Ye opened her mouth and looked at Weng Quan, and Weng Quan also looked at her, a little absent-minded.

However, the two people's eyes only met for a moment before Liu Ye retracted her gaze and retracted her little head.

Chen Chao thought for a while and was about to go out, but Weng Quan, who was late in thinking, grabbed his sleeve. Chen Chao turned his head and looked at this guy's appearance. He immediately understood what he was talking about and patted him. Looking over his shoulder, he said earnestly, "Do you know that you are motivated by sex?"

Weng Quan laughed innocently and said in a low voice, "I have been alone for many years, Commander. Can't you be considerate and considerate?"

Chen Chao shook his head seriously and said, "Worldly women are all tigers, I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp them!"

Weng Quan had a wry smile on his face and rubbed his hands nervously.

Chen Chao looked at this guy, and for no reason he thought of Song Lian, who was very far in the realm of martial arts but also didn't understand love. He thought, could this elm head be a family inheritance?

Chen Chao didn't say anything, but walked out of Zuowei Yamen under Weng Quan's expectant eyes.

When he turned around, Weng Quan couldn't see Chen Chao smiling.

…

…

After leaving Zuowei Yamen, Chen Chao did not immediately

Heading to the small courtyard of the academy, I finally found a shop that had not closed yet selling firecrackers and Spring Festival couplets. After buying some, I went there with my things.

By the time they arrived at the small courtyard, Willow Leaf had disappeared. The small courtyard was deserted, and Xie Nandu was sitting by the stove under the eaves, reading quietly.

Chen Chao pasted the word "Fu" in front of the door and hung up two red lanterns. Then he took the red paper without the Spring Festival couplets and came to the eaves and shouted, "You write well and the book is good." It’s much more difficult for you to write Spring Festival couplets, right?”

Xie Nandu raised his head and looked at the young man who was still wearing a black shirt even during the New Year. He frowned, but still did not refuse. But before he got up, the young man ducked into the room, spread the red paper on the table, and looked after himself. I muttered to myself, "What should I write about?"

Xie Nandu walked in, said "grinding", and then sat down by himself.

Chen Chao smiled and started grinding.

But in the end, when Xie Nandu took out a pen and wrote a Spring Festival couplet, Chen Chao looked at the content and couldn't laugh or cry, "Is this possible?"

Xie Nandu ignored him, but looked at the contents of the couplets with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chen Chao was speechless. For this special girl, any unreasonable thing happening to her in the world would probably not be too unreasonable.

Chen Chao, who didn't say anything in the end, took the Spring Festival couplets to the door and pasted them with paste, but in the end he couldn't help but take a second look.

Afterwards, the two people returned to the eaves and faced each other.

Chen Chao looked at the sky and then asked, "I want to eat something good on New Year's Eve, but you don't seem to care?"

Xie Nandu nodded and said, "If I want to eat well, I'll just go back. Could it be that you can come up with something better than Xie's New Year's Eve dinner?"

Chen Chao shook his head. When he went to the banquet before, he had seen that ordinary people could enjoy Xie's delicacies.

"I only have some baking skills, and you seem to be the only one in this small courtyard."

Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and actually relaxed. It seemed that this was the only place in the world where he could completely relax.

Xie Nandu said, "It just so happens that I like to eat this."

Chen Chao laughed loudly, turned around and joked, "But I heard that if you eat too much of this, you will fart."

Xie Nandu smiled and was noncommittal.

She just got up and walked into the house to light an oil lamp on the table.

Bailu Xie has always been simple. Although not many people still believe this today, there is actually a custom that has been passed down, which is to light a lamp on New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year.

Xie Nandu stood by the window, looking at the two young men in black who had found two men and were starting to light the fire in front of the stove, with gentle eyes.

Where there is a home, there is a year.

After leaving the Bailu Xie Clan, Xie Nandu knew that it was no longer her home, and the Xie Clan in the Divine Capital was also a home she didn't want to go to.

This small courtyard probably became her home.

As for the Chen Dynasty, the world is so big, where is his home?
