Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Lady Ji's house had already been cleaned spotlessly, and the gaps in the windows and doors had been repaired. Now her life was thriving.

Ji Pingyue saw that the sisters were holding a lot of food in their hands and clapped her hands happily: "So many delicious things!"

Ji Bujin was somewhat disapproving: "You bought too much. It's such a waste."

Ren Baozhi said cheerfully, "What are you afraid of? We are many in number, and one bite from each of us will be all gone. Today, I will let you, Madam Ji, experience what 'vanishing in an instant' means!"

When Ji Jianxue saw her sisters coming, she also poked her head out from the empress's arms, looked at them with a pair of bright black eyes, waved her little hands, and babbled something inaudible.

Ren Baozhi took some time to go to the backyard to check on the horse, which was still eating grass leisurely.

Forget it, it seems that the medicine is really useless.

There has to be another way to get rid of Chen Gongzheng, but Ren Baozhi doesn't want to think too much about it today. She just wants to have a happy New Year.

New Year’s Eve dinner is naturally more festive when eaten at night. Everyone puts the ingredients in the kitchen and starts preparing for the next day.

The most important thing is the peach charm.

The so-called peach charms are a pair of wooden pieces cut from peach branches, painted red on the outside, with "Shencha" written on one and "Yulei" written on the other. According to legend, these two are door gods who can suppress evil spirits, and are intended to drive away evil and protect the door.

Ren Baozhi checked online and found out, two men, that wouldn't work.

These two door gods hanging outside the house must be attracting ghosts to Ji Pingyue's family day and night.

Therefore, she had specially asked Gui Muxin to help her split two larger peach charms, and brought them today to ask Jiang Jingfeng to write the inscription and make a couplet.

Jiang Jingfeng glanced around the room full of people and quickly recited a poem:

The auspicious light of the new year shines brightly in every house,

The poor family welcomes the return of spring with laughter.

Today the east wind gathers strength,

Let’s see the Ming Dynasty dragon soar.

Ren Baozhi clapped his hands and praised, "What a wonderful poem, 'Today the east wind gathers its strength, and tomorrow the dragon will soar into the sky.' Jingfeng, please write the last two lines of the poem."

Jiang Jingfeng was praised by Ren Baozhi in front of everyone, and his face turned red with shame, and he didn't dare to look up at anyone.

She was about to pick up the pen when she heard Chen Lanyue's protest: "I don't agree!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Jiang Jingfeng's mind was in turmoil. Perhaps her humble work was indeed not worthy of being presented in a formal setting. She was extremely glad that she was lowering her head at the moment, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to control her expression and would spoil everyone's mood.

Chen Lanyue continued, "I don't feel like I'm participating in this. If you ask me, since Jingfeng has already created the couplet, we should write it together, one word each, and pray for blessings for the coming year."

Jiang Jingfeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Everyone around him was so nice, wasn't he? Why did he still think this way about them?

Why do I think so badly of them?

At this moment, she felt a pair of hands gently pulling her little finger.

She looked sideways.

Beside him, Ying Buhuan was giving him a big smile.

After listening to Chen Lanyue's suggestion, everyone gathered around the desk, all looking eager to try.

Chen Lanyue took the first step and couldn't wait to write the first word.

The peach charms circulated among the people, and soon, they were covered with various characters of different sizes and styles.

Although it is not very neat, it has a unique flavor. Everyone is very happy about it and is just waiting to hang up the peach charms early tomorrow morning.

Peach charms alone are not enough. This is Ren Baozhi’s first time experiencing the ancient version of the Chinese New Year, and she wishes she could try all the customs related to the Chinese New Year at once.

In the following time, she enthusiastically made a few banners. The banners were simple to make, with a long pole and a long flag made of paper or cloth tied to the top.

It can be regarded as the predecessor of the Japanese carp flag.

Although this thing is simple, it is still difficult to make it beautiful.

Among the crowd, only Yundu, Qingqiu and Ying He did a better job. Although the others had tried their best, the banner they made could only be called a banner.

The banner was supposed to be put up in the yard early tomorrow morning, but the two children, Ying Buhuan and Ji Pingyue, loved to play and could not wait to put the banner up in the yard.

Ji Pingyue did not tie the flag deep enough, so when the wind blew, it swayed and fell down.

She looked at Ying Buhuan and saw that he was holding a flag in each hand, with the flag poles firmly buried in the ground. No matter how cold the wind blew, only the flags fluttered in the wind, while the flag poles remained motionless.

Ying Buhuan had finished tying the banner in his hand. He turned around and saw that Ji Pingyue hadn't put the pole in his hand in yet. He dusted off his hands and asked, "Do you want my help?"

"Yes, yes!" Ji Pingyue happily handed the banner to Ying Buhuan, but Ying Buhuan refused to take it, which made her a little confused.

Ying Buhuan raised a wicked smile and said, "Call me sister and I will help you."

"Ah?" Ji Pingyue couldn't understand, "But I'm obviously three days older than you."

This touched a sore spot for Ying Buhuan. Why, why should she call everyone sister, except the one who couldn't speak and could only drool? She was the youngest one here, and she refused to accept it!

"Oh, then there's nothing I can do to help you." Ying Bu was about to leave, but someone pulled his sleeve and a small voice of "sister" came from behind him.

Ying Buhuan turned around quickly: "Hey, my dear sister, I'm here to help you."

Time passed quickly amid the laughter of the group, and in the afternoon everyone started preparing food for dinner.

I have to eat early tonight. After all, tonight is a rare day without curfew, and I can also participate in a Nuo exorcism ceremony in the evening.

The indispensable thing on Wu Zhou’s New Year’s Eve is “Laowan”. This thing is similar to modern dumplings, both of which are made of dough wrapped with stuffing, pinched into crescent shapes and boiled or steamed.

The small kitchen was packed with people and it was extremely lively for a while.

Since Ren Baozhi entered the book, she has rarely experienced such a relaxing moment. With so many like-minded people gathered together, even the trivialities of life like washing clothes and cooking have become a pleasure.

Some people knead the dough, some wash the vegetables, and some cut the meat. Everyone has a clear division of labor.

When Ren Baozhi was cutting meat, she did not forget to show off her hard-trained knife skills. She first turned the kitchen knife twice in her hand and acted cool.

Afterwards, everyone only saw the shadow of the knife, and in a moment the piece of meat turned into thin slices, each slice was of uniform thickness, which attracted everyone's praise.

"Tsk, what's the big deal?" Ying Buhuan rolled up his sleeves and said unyieldingly, "I can do it too."
