The main hall of the Gu family is lit with colorful lights and candles, incense is lit, and all kinds of wine and delicacies are served on the round table. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Gu family siblings were busy back and forth with her, only the two elders were leisurely talking and laughing under the porch in the front yard.

Gu Qingning came in with the dishes, Jiang Xiange was beside the tea house, carefully decocting the fragrant tea, and said: "Qingning, the dishes are almost done, you go and call my father and Uncle Gu to the table, it's time to serve tea......"

Gu Qingning said: "Eh, I'm going to call Uncle Jiang and Qinghuan Qingfeng, my father is out, I don't know when I'll come back, he said I don't have to wait for him, let's have a banquet first......"

Jiang Xian Singer shook, the boiling water in the pot spilled on the back of her hand, and the delicate skin immediately burned red, and half of the Ming Qian fragrant tea that had been brewed several times was also spilled.

Gu Qingning was frightened by her, and hurriedly went over to check the burns on her hands, held her hand, blew on her, and said distressedly: "What's wrong with you?

Jiang Xiange only shook his head and asked, "Why did Uncle Gu go out at this time, is there anything else to be busy with?"

Gu Qingning thoughtfully, raised his head and approached her, and said in a low voice: "The Yin family has just come, please ask my father to meet, I think it is probably tonight's matter, and Doctor Yin will discuss the arrangements with his father......"

"What?...... tonight" Jiang Xiange was a little dazed, and muttered: "I thought that tonight was just a festival......

Gu Qingning smiled, stroked her earlobe, and said, "We have a holiday tonight, the Lu family will also have a holiday, and the people in the palace will also have a lively ......."

As she spoke, she briefly told Jiang Xiange about Gu Qingxuan's plan.

……

During the family festival, there is a horse-drawn carriage wandering aimlessly on Chang'an Street, and the carriage is lit with small but bright lights and candles, and the two sit opposite each other, both smiling.

Yin Jiheng said: "Sure enough, as the virtuous brother expected, this game really made His Majesty jealous of the Lu family, the old man was shocked when he saw it, if it wasn't for the queen's escort to save the car, I'm afraid Lu Yuanzhi would not just be suspected of being guilty at this time...... His Majesty Long Yan was furious, Lu Yuanzhi couldn't argue, not to mention whether he really had the intention of assassination, it was a big crime to bring an assassin into the palace, and he couldn't help but depreciate himself without asking for guilt...... In this Great Qi court, there is no more Xiangguo who listens to the government in the Golden Palace......"

Gu Qingxuan was happy, but he was not as proud as Yin Jiheng, and thought about it: "It's still a little bit worse...... Eh, that's it, this situation is good enough, and it is not in vain to waste all the arrangements in the past half month. By the way, what about the family of the dead man? Dr. Yin, do you still plan to keep it?"

Yin Jiheng thought for a while and said, "Brother Xian, don't you have to worry, didn't you just buy it in the name of the Lu family to kidnap his wife at that time? It's just that the old man thinks that it is better to hide it for a while, and it may be able to be used as a witness in the future. ”

"In that case...... Gu Qingxuan nodded: "Let's do it for the time being." Hide it well. Your Majesty has handed over this assassination case to the Criminal Department for detailed investigation, right?"

"Well, yes, it's under my son Qi Xiu, so the old man is sure, even if he can't frame Lu Yuanzhi, he won't let others find out what is related to us. ”

Naturally, he would not say that not long ago, the turmoil in the palace stopped, and they retreated in panic under Chen Jingxing's anger, and he also eagerly went to Lu Yuanzhi to curry favor with him, and used these opposite words to appease Lu Yuanzhi - Yin Qixiu will definitely be able to find out the truth and return the Lu family's innocence.

Yin Jiheng patted Gu Qingxuan's shoulder and praised: "Brother Gu Xian, do you know that when you mentioned this idea to the old man half a month ago, the old man was really startled, and you even dared to gamble on His Majesty's life? You are so bold!"

He said peacefully: "That's because I knew that Your Majesty would be fine, Your Majesty has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the assassin picked by Gu is probably not Your Majesty's opponent at all, do you think he can be subdued by the queen with one move......

"The man's name is Luo ...... Dong, right? I've been with Lu Yuanzhi for many years, but how do you know that Lu Yuanzhi will definitely choose him as a courtesy?"

Gu Qingxuan's eyes were black and white, but they were hazy: "Because Gu Mou's ears and eyes in Xiangguo's Mansion are more than this pair of ......."

"Does the doctor know what is the most important thing in chess?"

"It's the layout. ”

"All head-to-head battles have their own losses, only by foreseeing the trend of the situation, can dominate the overall situation, all the pieces that seem to fall at random at the beginning of the game, will eventually gradually show its effect in a game. ”

After discussing the aftermath, the carriage went around not far from Gu's mansion.

Gu Qingxuan got out of the car to say goodbye, remembered something before leaving, bowed to Yin Jiheng, and said: "I almost forgot, congratulations to the doctor, Li Zhaoyi has made meritorious service in protecting herself, and has been canonized as a concubine by decree, and the Yin family is very fortunate to have a favorite concubine in the palace!

Yin Jiheng also saluted: "This is still due to Brother Gu Xian! The general trend of the Yin family depends on Brother Xian's planning!"

……

Gu Qingxuan returned to the mansion, walked into the front yard, looked at the brightly lit main hall, the cold wind blew on his side, and in front of him was the warmth of a room, and the sound of laughter was like the old days.

He did not go straight in, but found a pole, walked to the porch, and stopped under the first lamp, staring for a long time at the bronze ball hanging under the lantern.

It was hung up with Shen Lanxi during the Shangyuan Festival last year, and there were prayers written by Shen Lanxi in the copper ball.

The festive season is coming again, year after year, the old lamps have to be taken down and hung up with new ones, but what did Lan Xi pray for last year?

He pondered for a long time, lifted the bamboo pole, lowered it again, and went back and forth several times.

Gu Qingning walked out of the main hall and saw him, and his heart was sad.

"Father...... Don't take it...... Last year's lamp, still hung by it......"

He turned around, put down the bamboo pole, and bowed his head: "It's okay ......."

When the father and daughter entered the main hall, they had already changed their smiles.

Not long after the banquet began, Gu Qingfeng was worried that they would not be in high spirits because of Gu Qingxuan's absence, so he amused them vigorously, causing Jiang Xiange to laugh and tremble at the banquet.

After Jiang Hechuan received their tea ceremony, he kept holding Gu Qingfeng's hand and asking him how he was doing outside in the past few months.

When Gu Qingxuan entered the hall, their laughter was interrupted, because Gu Qingfeng was talking about the reason for the delay on his way back.

“…… My master and I both felt very strange, how close was Shangluo to Chang'an, I thought it should be a land of abundance, but what we saw at that time was starvation, and what was worse was that there was a plague rampant in that area...... By the way, I heard my senior brother who went to Qingzhou to walk the dart, there are also many famine places over there, and the people are not able to make a living...... And ......"

Gu Qingxuan coughed, "Qingfeng, it's a big holiday, don't talk about this, it's too much fun." ”

"Father's ......"

They were all very happy to see Gu Qingxuan coming back, Jiang Xiange got up to welcome him to his seat, ready to serve tea, he made eye contact with the eldest son and eldest daughter and the father and daughter of the Jiang family, implying that tonight's matter was done, and only gave Gu Qingfeng a slap, because Gu Qingfeng was unhappy that he didn't let him say what he saw on the road.

After the tea, Gu Qingxuan let Tang Bo and Fusu also enter the table, and they reunited and celebrated, happy and natural, as in previous years.

It's just that this Shangyuan Festival, no one mentioned the lantern prayer, no one could bear to remove the lamp hanging last year, as if last year's pen, this life has become a foregone conclusion, that exquisite and ingenious brocade lantern, is the world's masterpiece.
