"Second brother, do you want to go to the palace today? I'm going too, I'm going too!"

Seeing Cheng Jia, who had ordered someone to load the New Year's gift into the car and was about to enter the palace to participate in the state banquet, Cheng Qingqing quickly put on a thickened cloak and ran out of the mansion, and then quickly stepped on his pedals and climbed into his carriage and sat next to Cheng Jia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cheng Jia looked strangely at Cheng Qingqing, who usually didn't enter the palace much, and asked, "Didn't you like to enter the palace in previous years to join in the fun?"

"Isn't it okay if I want to go into the palace to see the eldest sister this year?"

Cheng Qingqing won't tell the second brother.

She was to supervise him, worried that he would go to the palace to see the eldest sister and the banquet, but in fact she secretly went to see the one in the East Palace.

Zhou Jinghua's words yesterday kept spinning around in her mind, like being scratched by a cat, and she couldn't sleep all night curiously.

After thinking about it all night, I can't figure out how her brother and Brother Ziyan like the same woman, they are rivals from childhood to adulthood, and Brother Ziyan has already become a concubine, Wang Changsun has it, no matter how much his brother fights, he will lose properly.

So she had to stop his brother moths from fighting the fire.

smiled and said hello to Chen Huang, who was sitting in the front row, and Cheng Qingqing changed the topic and said, "It's almost the New Year, Chen Huang, aren't you going home this year?"

Some of the staff and long-term workers who were not slaves at home have already gone back for the New Year.

Chen Huang sat opposite and shook his head when he heard this, "Shouchun is too far away, and now it is snowing heavily, and the heavy snow is closing the mountains and roads, and the letter sent by the family in the middle of the year has not been received until now, if you want to go back, it is estimated that you will not be able to come back even if you start the year, and there are many things on the adult's side, so I will not go back." ”

Cheng Qingqing poured him a cup of tea and comforted, "It's okay, I'll celebrate the New Year at my house this year, with my brother and us." ”

Cheng Jia looked at the two of them with a smile in his faint eyes, turned his face sideways and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and then said, "Well, Chen Huang, you will spend it with us this year, presumably Qingqing will not be bored for the New Year this year." ”

Cheng Qingqing pouted, she hated to pay New Year's greetings to those older generations of uncles and aunts.

Now that she has passed sixteen, every year they have to ask her if she is married? Do you want me to help you see each other, in fact, I want to introduce the son of their seventh aunt and eighth aunt to her.

"Second brother, when did I get bored arguing, it's just that those uncles and aunts have to introduce young talents to me every year, but I don't know the number one young talent in Yingdu. ”

can match her young talent.

Now she is not married, she can count them all.

If according to her father's vision of becoming a minister, Zhao Ming is good, and the family is enough; Ye Xiangru is also good, and the Ye family has soldiers; Sun Shuao is out of play, and it has been set for Mi Xuan; if Ao Zike, who calls him surnamed Ruo Ao, his father hates the people of Ruo Ao's family the most; don't think about it in the year of public loss, a son of Gong Yin doesn't have much effect, and is it the son or grandson of Li Lao, but is he more than ten years older than her, or a few years younger than her and has not grown up......

"It's time for you to get married. ”

Cheng Jia's gaze fixed on Chen Huang, who was lowered, and he hooked his lips and smiled.

"Second brother, you haven't married, I'm still far away!"

Cheng Qingqing is not worried, besides, there is a second brother on top!

What his father is most anxious about now is his second brother's marriage.

It's just that there are really too few people who can match his brother, Zhou Jinghua is married, looking at the entire Chu country, the strength of other families is not enough, or there are no concubines to be married, which is embarrassing.

"Your second brother, I want to start a business first and then start a family. ”

Cheng Jia was not in a hurry, and took a sip of tea steadily.

In modern times, it is not too late for a man to start a family in his thirties.

"Then I want to be like an adult, start a business first and then start a family. Chen Huang was flattered and took the hot tea in Cheng Qingqing's hand, nodded heavily and said.

"Aren't your family urging you?" Cheng Qingqing said curiously, "You are not young, you are three years older than my brother." ”

"Urge, hehe, but the whip is out of reach. ”

Chen Huang smiled, with a faint sadness in his eyes, "I was born early, and I am old", looking at the beautiful and young Cheng Qingqing.

The family has died a long time ago, he is in his twenties, and he is not famous.

But looking at Chu Jing, with his identity, unless he marries the daughter of a wealthy businessman, how can any good lady take a fancy to him.

"In the future, I really want to marry far away, living in Yingdu, the pressure is too great. ”

Cheng Qingqing said.

Thinking that she must marry as far away as she is from her father.

Chen Huang secretly glanced at Cheng Qingqing when he heard this, "But Fourth Miss, other places are not as prosperous as Yingdu, it will be more difficult, and Cheng Lao may not agree." ”

Most of the marriages of the big families are political marriages, just like Ruo Ao Ziyan and the princess, just like Ruo Ao Yuejiao and Miss Zhou.

"My life is my master!"

Cheng Qingqing said firmly, then shook Cheng Jia's arm and asked, "Second brother, I am the master of my marriage, I am the master!" You must let me be the master, otherwise you will wait to collect the body for me!"

She doesn't want to continue to be controlled by her father for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want to marry into the palace like her eldest sister!

"You can call the shots, but that person, I have to check it!" Cheng Jia looked at her and said.

"Okay, I'll show you when the time comes. ”

As the three of them talked and laughed all the way, the carriage of the family was mixed in many luxurious carriages, facing a city of wind and snow, and drove towards the Chu Palace.

In order to cater to the atmosphere of the New Year, the Chu palace has been sprinkled and cleaned everywhere, the entire palace is all decorated, plus the king of Chu has just copied the Zhou family, the treasury also has money, and the shot is more generous, all the cornices and corridors of the building, along the way are decorated with a variety of colorful octagonal palace lamps, at a glance it looks like a colorful dragon, end to end connected with each palace, and gradually this majestic first palace in the south is brightly lit, like the brightest stars in the sky, shining on the land of Jingman, and it is mighty.

Snowflakes flutter irregularly in the wind.

It's like the fate of this world, with a completely unpredictable trajectory, quietly sprinkled on the corridor.

Under the corridor, many sons and ladies who entered the palace chattered all the way, looking at the six hundred years of prosperity and liveliness of the Chu Palace, and exclaimed again and again.

The Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet has not yet begun, but the people in the middle palace of the Zhu Palace have begun to set up the banquet, and the officials who have already come have already begun to greet the New Year in advance, and say good words to each other to wish the official luck in the coming year and the prosperity of the Chu country.

In the side hall next to it, the wives of each family brought their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law to discuss the new rouge jewelry in groups, and everyone had already put the fall of the Zhou family yesterday behind them, smiling and laughing, and talking happily.

After Cheng Jia and the others entered the palace, they did not go directly to the Zhu Palace in front of them for a banquet, but first went to the Yuchen Palace to visit Cheng Xian'er, who was still recuperating in bed.

Cheng Xian'er sat on the bed and looked at Cheng Qingqing, and scolded, "You girl with no conscience, you have only been in the palace for so long." ”

Cheng Qingqing hid behind Cheng Jia, poked out her head and said, "Eldest sister, I don't want to, I'm afraid that my father will also send me to the palace, so I don't enter the palace much." ”

So in addition to the invitation of the three princesses before.

On this kind of occasion to enter the palace, she can avoid it.

She didn't want to be taken by the king of Chu who could be her father.

Cheng Xian'er heard that there was a trace of loneliness on her face, but she immediately restrained the sadness in her eyes, "Okay, it's the New Year, don't talk about this, you put down your things and hurry to the banquet, I'm not in good health, so I won't go this year." Anyway, every year is about the same, watching these women in the palace compare with each other, this year is probably the envy of Princess Wu. ”

Cheng Jia glanced at Cheng Xian'er, and ordered the prepared yellow paper to be filled with a copper basin for her, "This is the paper money I brought in for Brother Li this year, eldest sister, you can't go to the ground yet, you will ask Xiaoqing and them to help you burn it later." ”

"Well, second brother, you have a heart, your eldest brother Li should have been reincarnated a long time ago, and if you burn it to him, he won't be able to collect it......"

Cheng Xian'er looked at the goose feather snow outside the window, sighed lightly, and couldn't help but think of the deceased Li Zhi, "He has been gone for so many years, but recently I always think of what he looked like when he was alive......"

Cheng Jia doesn't know if there is a reincarnation theory.

At least his own existence could not be explained, and he comforted, "Maybe Brother Li is also living in some corner of this world now, but he may not be in the same world as us." ”

A black shadow flashed in front of the Zhu window engraved with eternal knots, and Cheng Qingqing was startled, and shouted, "Eldest sister, was I dazzled just now? ”

"The New Year's Eve is said to be these. ”

Cheng Xian'er ordered someone to go out to take a look, and Xiaoqing came back and said that it was probably a palace person who was cleaning by, and there were a few footprints by the window.

Seeing a false alarm, the brother and sister talked to each other again, and Cheng Jia took Cheng Qingqing to prepare for the banquet.

The bells of the banquet rang nine times and fell nine times, resounding inside and outside the Chu Palace, countless ceremonial flowers soared into the sky, illuminating the sky above the Zhu Palace, all those who had not yet arrived, who were on the way, saw this magnificent and dazzling fireworks covering the lights of the whole city, they all let out an exclamation, and then stepped up their steps, the sound was afraid of falling behind the King of Chu, missing the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet this year.

"Second brother, let's hurry up!"

It was the first time for Cheng Qingqing to participate in such a grand state banquet, her palms pinched the corners of her skirt slightly, and then she only heard a joking voice interrupt them, "Sister Qing'er, what's the hurry, the king and the princess must be the last to arrive, and the princess is pregnant this year, so she won't arrive so early." ”

Then I saw Ruo Ao Zike standing in front of them at some point, smiling and flattering.

"Forget it, I'd better hurry up!"

Cheng Qingqing pursed her lips and walked past him towards the Nagisa Palace in front.

Chen Huang has been following her like a bodyguard, quietly glanced down at Ruo Aozike, and also quickened his steps, and quickly chased after her, "Fourth Miss, go slowly, beware of slippery roads." ”

Cheng Jia smiled at him and greeted, "Let's go, let's go in together." ”
