When Ji Rin went out of the palace, it was already evening, the sunset shone on the entire Xianyang Palace, the green tiles were flying, the high gate was saga, the vermilion palace wall was silent and sticking, Ji Rin suddenly looked back at this vast building, and his heart jumped suddenly, if he one day sits on the world, how high-spirited it should be to be the master of this forbidden palace!

With the thoughts in his heart, he just wanted to immediately run to Pingling Yu and tell the other party about the pride that suddenly arose at this moment!

"What are you looking at again?" Zhou Jian couldn't help but ask sideways when he saw his solemn face.

"The letter of the Northern Wei Dynasty has arrived here, but I don't know if there is a countermeasure now? Do you really want Princess Huayang to be pro-Northern Wei?" Ji Rin asked after a moment of stunned.

"At present, there is no end to the debate between the DPRK and China, and there is no conclusion yet. Zhou Jian was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why the other party suddenly thought of this matter.

"The queen and her mother are handkerchiefs, Princess Huayang's status is precious, she didn't suffer much when she was young, the conditions in the Northern Wei Dynasty are harsh, that is, ordinary soldiers have to adapt to it for a long time when they arrive at the border pass, let alone a person with such an identity as a princess?" Ji Rin sighed.

It's a pity that my uncle originally planned to choose a son-in-law for her in the spring of next year, but now it can only be delayed for one day. Zhou Jian's expression was depressed, "These years of fierce war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Ji family army has suffered countless casualties, six years ago, there was a chance to calm the Northern Wei Dynasty in Beijing, but unfortunately the weather is not good, the treasury can not support it, but now it is involved Ah Hui, it is really heart-wrenching." ”

"The princes of the Northern Wei Dynasty are older, and the royal court is turbulent, which was originally an excellent opportunity to incorporate the Northern Wei Dynasty into my Eastern Qin territory, but it is a pity that our dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, so it is better to follow the example of Yongzhou and open a mutual market with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Ji Rin paused, no one understands the robe on the front line better than him, the last moment they fought side by side with each other, laughing, the next moment is life and death, and even the soldiers who only entered the Jinju battalion left a letter to their families at the beginning of the battlefield, if they died in battle, they sent it back, if they were lucky enough to survive, they burned the family letter, and then asked the literate comrades to write again before going into battle next time, "The Northern Wei Dynasty is located between the white mountains and black waters, and is not good at farming, but the cattle and horses are abundant, the fur is numerous, and the Changsheng Mountain is prolific with the best medicinal materials, if the grain is exchanged for cattle and sheep, Medicinal herbs and fur are not unavoidable. ”

"The Eastern Qin and the Northern Wei Dynasty have hated each other for generations, but I am afraid that the government and the opposition are not willing. Zhou Jian shook his head, "I'm curious, Brother Yuan Zhao has been at war with the Northern Wei Dynasty all the year round, so he should be even more hateful, why do you have such thoughts?"

"If the strength of my Eastern Qin State is several times stronger than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Rin is also willing to lead the army to level the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the sons under the knees of Emperor Lie of the Northern Wei Dynasty have grown up, and the princes under the knees of His Majesty are still young, and the treasury is barren. Ji Rin said solemnly, "There is bound to be a battle between the Northern Wei and the Eastern Qin, but this is not the best time, and it is only right to rest and recuperate." ”

Lang Jun has this heart and admires it. Zhou Jian spared his head.

The two went back to Zhou Jian's mansion together, and the group had dinner, and Zhou Jian ordered someone to drive an ox cart to send Ji Rin and his party to Ji Shangshu's mansion.

As one of the nine families envied by the people of the time, the ancestral house of the Ji family in Chang'an is a set of five-entry courtyard, covering a wide area, but it is the residence of the head of the family when he entered Beijing, but although Ji Yan was born in the lineage, it was his brother Ji Can who was in charge, so he did not live in the ancestral house, but bought a three-entry house for their family of four to live in.

Since receiving Ji Rin's message, Ji Yan estimated the day he was coming, and told the Shen family, the latter cleaned up the leisurely courtyard next to Songbai Zhai, and ordered the servants to clean it every day, and asked a few people from Han Zheng's mouth to be tall, short, fat and thin, so he ordered the needlework room in the house to make a set of autumn clothes for a few people first, and the clothes in the back were carefully measured and then made.

After looking forward to it for several days, on the evening of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, news came from the porter that it was a few people who took Zhou Xiaolangjun's ox cart to the door.

Enter the door is the shadow wall, painted with a distant mountain evening scene, turn the back of the shadow wall is written with the four words of indifferent Mingzhi, through the atrium is the Xuanming Hall, the two sides are connected with the hugging building, and then there is the verandah, at this time it will be autumn, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are flourishing, a few cinnamon fragrant courtyards, the style is particularly clear and elegant.

The east of the whole house is the house, the middle part is the main garden, and the west is the inner garden.

Because most of them lived in adult Langjun, the pine and cypress garden where they were placed was also located on the east side. A few people didn't bring much with the box, and the housekeeper on the side ordered a few servants to send things over, and Bai Lu also went over to place the items, and the housekeeper took them to the Wanjuan Hall where Ji Yan lived.

Wanjuan Hall is five upper rooms, all should be decorated with log color, only hollowed out carved the pattern of Confucius traveling around the world, not with color decoration, both sides are through the mountain verandah and wing rooms, the courtyard is full of peony pines and cypresses, at this time after the flowering period, but only to see the trees green, on the steps stood two servants in brown shorts, when they came to laugh and laughed: "Fang Cai Langjun is still a little people to explore, but a few little Langjun are looking forward to coming." ”

"Rin greets Second Uncle. ”

"The royal greetings to see Ji Shangshu. ”

"Meet my uncle. ”

A few people crossed the threshold, and in the main hall sat a man wearing a azure straight jacket with a mustache, with black hair tied in a bun at will, and a hairpin carved by rosewood with ruyi cloud pattern on it.

"Ah Xun was still in his infancy when he met in his early years, and then he stayed in Shu for many years, but he didn't see him for a long time, and now he is also a young man. The housekeeper standing on the side came up to pour tea quietly for a few people, and Ji Yan first looked at Chen Xun, who was not very decent sitting on the side, and couldn't help laughing.

"Jinguancheng doesn't have to be Chang'an Xuan magnificent, majestic, I'm a lazy character, I'm used to running in the wilderness, there are many elders in Chang'an, no more than me in Shudi, that generation is high, and all the adults have to salute me. Chen Xun grinned, and he was not afraid because he was unfamiliar.

"The day before yesterday, I followed a letter from my brother-in-law, they came from Tai'an City, and when they met someone from the Yuwen family, they cooperated to go to Beijing together, but somehow they were even more backward than you. Ji Yan saw that he was lively, not as old as the children of the Ji family, nor like his brother, but he learned that the market boy was quite a little afraid of jumping off, but he liked it in his heart.

"I came up with my husband. Chen Xun listened to the busy and flattered Pingling Imperial and smiled, and the latter smiled slightly and did not say much.

"It's Mr. Pingling?" Ji Yan looked at the movement of the two in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart, no wonder from Ji Rin's letter, it seems that he relies a lot on this newly acquainted friend, and now it seems that even a naughty boy like Chen Xun can be trained, and it seems that there are a few brushes, "Thank you for taking care of my two nephews all the way." ”

"Yu and Yuan Zhao are friends, and they have accepted Ah Xun as a disciple, and they should take care of each other, but Shangshu is polite. Pingling Yu said with a smile.

Ji Yan saw that he was calm and polite, nodded secretly, and asked him about his family history, and heard that there was only one person left, and there was only one boy with frost by his side. Han Zheng is a guard and then there is a maid, he has always believed in Buddhism, and the ordinary decisive Ji family children are very different, for a time to feel pity, and these days he coldly watched the frost and Han Zheng two, the frost fell and fast, Han Zheng was silent and upright, and there was no place to go over in the day, he originally had a good impression of Pingling Yu, but now when he saw the real person, he felt that he was extraordinary, and he said a few words at will, and the mother-in-law in the back came to pass the meal, so he took a few people over.

"Only a backyard girl, an outsider, but it's not easy to pass. Pingling Yu hesitated a little, he didn't restrain himself from seeing Mrs. Shen, but Ji Yan had a daughter under his knees, and now he was only eleven or twelve years old, and he was about to look at each other.

"You and Yuan Zhao are brothers, why do you care?" Ji Yan was stunned for a moment and smiled, "My wife and I also treat you as an ordinary nephew." ”

"That being the case, please ask Uncle Yan to go first. "Pingling Yu didn't have the concept of male and female defense, but he was just taking into account the inconvenience of the master before, so he didn't shirk when he heard Ji Yan say, and the group walked in from the side of the road, passed through a hall that was used as a study, and turned into the inner courtyard after a while.

Entering the eye is three large main rooms, the wings on both sides hug together, a tree vine in the courtyard has a history of 100 years, at this time is not in the flowering period, the leaves are also crowded one by one, there are several osmanthus trees planted on the side, it is the season of osmanthus flowers, there is a maid wearing a red satin jacket, the bean blue breast-length skirt is picking up osmanthus flowers under the osmanthus tree, seeing them come over and salute with their hands crossed, there is a bird cage hanging on the shelf under the corridor, at this time people come to all chatter and make noise.

"Lang Jun brought the guests here, and the lady is ordering the dinner!" Hearing the noisy birds, a maid opened the curtain of navy blue embroidered green bamboo mountain stone pattern and came out, first crossed her hands and saluted, and then opened the curtain for a few people, while laughing, she was pretty, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes as if she could speak, now wearing a light purple makeup satin narrow sleeve short jacket, under the off-white embroidered magnolia gauze skirt, more and more beautiful figure, but it is the most useful big girl around Mrs. Shen to call the coral.

Entering the main room, because it was the place where the female dependents sat and sit, Pingling Yu did not dare to look at it wantonly, so he looked at it casually and only felt that the decoration was elegant and light, Mrs. Shen was born in a businessman's family, and she didn't expect to have such a taste.

"You have come from afar, the journey is hard and partial, Langjun is a lot of words, and he can't stop for a while, and a few children are afraid that they will be hungry for a long time. When the three of them bowed together, Mrs. Shen stepped forward to help everyone up, and said with a smile, "Now that it is autumn, the lotus leaves in the garden have withered, but there are more than ten osmanthus trees in the back by Shuangyuezhai and blooming just right, so I ordered people to set up a banquet over there, and the left and right past is only a hundred and ten steps. ”

"But my aunt was polite. "Chen Xun is not afraid of life, seeing that the other party is wearing a silver-gray Fangsheng pattern dark flower satin jacket, wearing a moon-white satin woven colorful flying saucer lapel skirt, with a jade-colored shawl on the outside, a black hair with a back bun, only a gold-inlaid red coral Danfeng swaying, holding a string of pearl tassels the size of a grain of rice from the phoenix's mouth, and a purple chrysanthemum on the side, his face is terrifying, but he can still lean over and be coquettish," It's good to have ordinary rice as long as it fills my stomach, but I don't pick anything, and as for the poetry and drinking, I can drink a large jar of wine, but I can't just write poetry. ”
