The winter morning is quiet, the room is warm as spring, although the men and women sitting opposite each other are a little far apart, but the atmosphere is quite harmonious, but this mouth is inseparable from the scenery of life and death.

"There's really no mortal enmity between you and me. ”

"That is, I drugged you to make you diarrhea, and the gentleman tried to win the competition, took off your clothes and hung you on the city wall..."

"Sounds like a miserable... Hahahaha"

Qin Mei looked coldly at the girl who slapped the table and smiled.

Xue Qing smiled and said, "It's just that you and I have a fight to win or lose, it doesn't really mean that you have to live or die, and I don't want to die, let alone kill you for no reason." ”

"The two of us have similar life experiences, both of which are quite miserable, but our lives are not just about surviving and dying, and there are still a lot of fun in the world. ”

"Is it fun to drink and watch singing and dancing?" Qin Mei sneered and said, "Don't be self-righteous, I don't feel miserable, I live a very interesting life." ”

glanced at Xue Qing coldly.

"Look at the villain like you, for example. ”

Xue Qing sighed and said, "So it turns out that I am the only joy of your life, and you are pestering me? ”

It's not that the person who is pestered is miserable, but that the person who is pestered is miserable?

Xue Qing looked at him sincerely.

"Young Master Qin, this world is very big, there are many interesting things, and there are many interesting people, so you can go out and have a look. ”

Qin Mei sneered: "I can live until now just to do what I want, not for what others want me to do." ”

Xue Qing hung his head helplessly, poured tea, pushed it over and said, "Okay, you are amazing, I can't talk about you, then please drink tea." ”

Qin Mei said: "This kind of trick is enough once." The voice fell, and his face changed, "Villain!" The person got up suddenly, and Xue Qing was already laughing here.

"You did the medicine in the tea, and I did the medicine in the tea, of course this trick is enough once, how could I be so incapable of using it a second time. ”

"Of course the medicine is spilled on the ground, and you are in it as soon as you enter the door. ”

As the person who laughed at her also jumped up and pounced on Qin Mei.

"Little boy, in fact, I think you're also very interesting, so if you don't want to leave, just stay. ”

Although the power of the medicine was attacked, Qin Mei still shook her body to the side to avoid it, but because her body was stiff, she took a step slower and was grabbed by Xue Qing's shoulder.

They are very clear about each other's strength, this avoidance, this grasp, all use their greatest strength....

There was a stab.

Xiao Caizi, who was tiptoeing to the door of the hall and was tiptoeing close to the pane and looking in, only felt that there were white flowers in front of him.

A man's back was exposed and came into view.

The shoulders and waist are strong and well-proportioned, white as jade but strong as stone, dazzling.

Xiao Caizi was sweating, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes, and the person slipped down against the door and left the pane, and a girl's laughter passed over his head: "You run, you run, see how you run." ”

"Grandpa Cai..."

An attendant came up and opened his mouth to shout.

Xiao Caizi had already crawled away from the door to stop them.

"Let's go. He waved his hand repeatedly.

......

......

It wasn't until the road under the steps in front of the hall that Xiao Caizi patted his chest and stood up straight, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"No wonder I have to watch singing and dancing. He muttered.

The attendants who followed the retreat around him were cautious: "What happened to Gonggong Cai?"

There seems to be a voice of His Majesty speaking in the hall, why don't you go in and wait but retreat?

Xiao Caizi took a deep breath and looked at them: "It's okay, you guys go down, no one is allowed to approach the Qinzheng Hall without a summons." "Stand still and put on a posture of sticking here.

The attendants didn't dare to ask more, so they retreated and scattered to guard the Qinzheng Palace.

There was only Xiao Caizi in front of the Qinzheng Hall in the blue light, and he looked in a trance and had a chaotic mind.

"This is not the figure that the chamberlains can have, nor are they those sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people..."Xiao Caizi muttered, the man's sturdy back kept appearing in front of him, although he didn't see it clearly at a glance, but it was still very good-looking....

He shook his head again and shook the apparition away.

"No wonder Your Majesty doesn't watch singing and dancing, how can it be so interesting to watch singing and dancing..."

He has read the book and knows what the real wine pond meat forest is....

Well, it turns out that His Majesty likes this, strong, strong, sharp, naked.....

"But where is this person? I don't see it clearly, but look at the shoulders, back, muscles, people who should practice martial arts..."

There can be normal men in the palace who practice martial arts, only the guards.

Guards?Xiao Caizi's thoughts paused, and he watched a group of people in the blue light approach.

The footsteps made a rhythmic sound on the bluestone, and all of them were handsome and handsome in armor and weapons, this is the Praetorian Guard.

Xiao Caizi narrowed her eyes.

The palace guards are not the same as the real officers and soldiers, compared to being able to fight well and bravely kill the enemy, they pay more attention to the image of heroics, as the servant of the Son of Heaven, in order to be majestic enough, especially when receiving envoys.

Well, not all Praetorian guards are good-looking, well, then pick the better-looking, more pleasing to the eye......

"Grandpa Cai, morning, you..." The guards led by him approached and stopped and said hello.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the waiter in the blue light smiling at himself.

The guard's back tingled, and his voice stopped abruptly.

What's going on? How can this waiter laugh so much that it makes people's hearts furious?

......

......

The Spring Festival of the first year of Tai'an has arrived.

The sound of firecrackers on Wong Sha Road was incessant, and the streets were full of naughty children, one of whom was bigger than all the children.

There was saliva on his lips, it was obvious that he had a problem with intelligence, but the children did not dislike him, and it was obvious that he was already familiar with the play.

"Hu'er. ”

A call came from the side of the street, and the running fat boy stopped.

At the mouth of an alley on the side of the street stood a woman beckoning.

"Huzi, come back soon, your sister has delivered New Year's goods. The woman called softly.

Hearing the word sister, the fat boy grinned and let out a louder laugh and ran over, pedaling through the crowd in the street, running past a blacksmith's shop, and reaching the woman in one breath.

The woman smiled and stroked his head and pulled him inside.

A carriage was parked in front of the small house in the deep alley, and other neighbors were laughing outside, and they saw the mother and son greeting each other warmly.

"Sister-in-law of the Cui family, your eldest daughter has sent New Year's goods. ”

"Are you back?"

The woman smiled and answered yes one by one, she didn't come back, and pulled the tiger into the door.

"The daughter of the Cui family's sister-in-law won't come back to see it during the New Year. "A neighborhood road.

Another neighbor didn't care: "I said that I was married far away, and I couldn't come back." ”

"Oh, this widowed mother and a stupid brother, and he is married so far away, how can he take care of it?" said a neighbor pitifully.

The neighbor sneered, "You don't have to worry about it. He glanced at the carriage parked at the door, and his eyes were envious, "The family who married is very rich, you look at this cart full of New Year's goods, what is more powerful than this care." ”

That's right, a few people looked at the ornate carriage and guessed what the goods had been removed from the carriage before.

It is lively outside the door, and it is also lively inside the courtyard gate.

Seven or eight subordinates sorted out the various gift boxes piled up in the courtyard, rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, vegetables, cloth, etc., and a young man followed him in and out, staring at everything in detail.

"Ziqian. The woman cried out, "Rest for a while, don't be busy." ”

Guo Ziqian turned around with a smile and said, "Aunt Cui, I'm not tired." ”

Ge Chuan smiled slightly, and the tiger beside him had already shouted at Guo Ziqian Sister.

Guo Ziqian raised his hand and stroked his face: "Although I am very good-looking, I am really not a girl." ”

Ge Chuan laughed and called out a little girl: "Go, read Miss's letter to the young master." He patted Huzi on the shoulder again, "Your sister has written to you, you go and listen to what she has to say." ”

Huzi grinned and happily followed the little girl in.

"Auntie, you take him, work hard. Guo Ziqian said in a low voice.

Ge Chuan shook his head with a smile: "It's not hard, he's very obedient, he's really obedient, it's different from his sister at the beginning." ”

At the beginning, the girl was honest and obedient on the surface, studying and practicing martial arts, but in private, she killed and set fire.

Guo Ziqian smiled.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Guo Ziqian was a little vigilant, and a woman flashed in his eyes.

"Yo Ziqian is here. Miao Miao put down a basket, and the smell of fish immediately dispersed in the yard, "What about your uncle? Hide at home and enjoy leisure? Let you run around and run west." ”

Guo Ziqian smiled: "No, no, my uncle is busy at home, there are many people in the family, he can't leave, Brother Zi'an is not at home, I am also willing to run east and west." He looked a little excited, "I'm going to the capital, Sister Miaomiao, do you have anything you want me to take with you?"

Miao Miao sighed and pointed to the back basket.

"Fish bar. She said, "My mind." ”

Guo Ziqian was stunned, how can this be bringed.... Although it's winter, it will stink, don't let him go to see Brother Qingzi with a stinky....

"Okay, don't tease him. Ge Chuan smiled, "You better keep it and wait for Lord Du to come and eat." ”

Miaomiao's eyes suddenly smiled, and she wrenched her fingers and calculated: "When will you come? Isn't it already in the capital? ”

Ge Chuan looked in the direction of the capital: "There are still many things to do, not so fast." ”

Being a courtier is so busy, being an emperor is even busier.

I don't know if I can eat it.

Miao Miao sneered: "You don't have anything to worry about all day long except eating." ”

Ge Chuan smiled shyly: "I don't understand anything else." ”

Guo Ziqian smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will have a good meal after I go to the capital, see how the craftsmanship of the imperial meal is, and then tell you." ”

Ge Chuan smiled and thanked: "That aunt is waiting for your news." ”

Miaomiao shook her head: "You guys are really....", patted the fish basket, "Okay, Ziqian will try my craft first." ”

Guo Ziqian responded that the small courtyard was full of laughter and laughter, mixed with the lively sound of firecrackers in the city on the street.

And the capital is also a firecracker, even the sky, the fire tree, the silver flower never sleeps.

The people let go of the fatigue of the year, and for the time being, they did not think about the hardships they would face in the next year, and celebrated and enjoyed themselves wantonly.

But the emperor and the ministers were still busy, because the prisoners were escorted into Beijing, and the Xiliang envoys also came, and the details of the peace were the content of this festival of the imperial court.

However, those high-ranking officials who have their own important ministers bother, and for most officials, they can still take a break to enjoy the relaxation of the New Year.

The restaurant and tea shop are overcrowded, and the family banquets of the wealthy and powerful are non-stop day and night.

Rich and noble have the joy of wealth, poor families also have their own joy, on the street where the Beijing Zhizhitang is located, the children run and frolic by, during the Chinese New Year, the Zhizhitang stopped the school, and most of the students in Chang'an Mansion went home to reunite.

At this time, there were not many people sitting in the house, including Pei Yanzi, Liu Chunyang, and Zhang Shuangtong, Chu Minghui went home, and took advantage of the New Year to settle the family affairs and then study with peace of mind.

With a squeak of the door, Zhang Liantang, who was wrapped in a cloak, walked in, shaking off the smell of wine.

There was not the slightest hint of drunkenness in the eyes of his face, which was obviously contaminated at the banquet.

Seeing him come in, Liu Chunyang hurriedly got up and said, "Liantang, have you heard about it too?"

Zhang Liantang hummed: "What did you hear?"

"She, her business. Liu Chunyang said hurriedly, but he still couldn't say that sentence.

"Your Majesty is playing with the guards in the court. Zhang Shuangtong said for him, "Now the guards of the Imperial City have changed many people, and they are all good-looking." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not necessarily. Liu Chunyang hurriedly turned around and scolded him, "It's a rumor." ”

Zhang Liantang sat down and said with a smile: "Emperor Wang Xiangye has already reprimanded His Majesty for this, it seems that it is not a rumor." ”

"Ah, I heard, Your Majesty sincerely admitted his mistake, and then wrote a large self-admonition book for Wang Xiangye to read, citing scriptures, it is said that many of the classics did not know, so he rummaged through the books at home, and he did not go out to the court for three days and did not see guests. A young man laughed.

Laughter rang out in the room.

"I'm really tired of Xiangye. ”

"She's so busy that the article is still profitable? There is even a dictionary that Xiangye doesn't know, where did she read it?"

It should be those ancient books, she really went to read them, Liu Chunyang was pleased, but then she was uneasy, what about the ones that shouldn't be read?

But now is not the time to talk about this, more importantly, he shook his head and shook off the distractions.

Is the Praetorian thing true?

In fact, I guessed that it wasn't a rumor, but I didn't want to admit it.

Liu Chunyang sat back in his chair and muttered: "How can this be, I have already said it, how can she return..."

Zhang Shuangtong pricked up his ears and kicked him with his foot: "What are you talking about? What else is there to do about her? Tell me about it." ”

Liu Chunyang kicked him away in annoyance: "She didn't." ”

Zhang Shuangtong shrugged his shoulders and pouted: "It's strange that she doesn't do ridiculous things, who can control her, no one before, and even less now." ”

Zhang Liantang smiled: "Don't worry, she likes to have fun but is measured." ”

Liu Chunyang frowned and didn't seem to hear it, and Pei Yanzi, who had been reading a book here, suddenly raised his head.

"How old is she?" he said.

Zhang Liantang said: "It's eighteen years old. ”

Pei Yanzi sighed, closed the book in his hand and stood up: "I'll go see her." ”

Zhang Liantang was stunned, Liu Chunyang raised his head and frowned: "You don't want to speak, let's ask more clearly..."

Pei Yanzi interrupted him and said, "I'm not here to admonish. ”

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Shuangtong smiled, "It's not that Your Majesty is absurd, what else can make you find interesting?"

Everyone else also looked at Pei Yanzi.

Twenty-two-year-old Pei Yu Pei Yanzi is no longer the appearance of a young man, his face is clearer, his chin is a little plump, he stood up at this time, the blue robe was long and jade, he reached out and took off his white cloak from the hanger, and turned around and said: "I'll go and recommend myself to her as the imperial husband." ”

The room was silent, except for the sight, everyone's expressions were also frozen, Zhang Liantang held the teacup, Zhang Shuangtong held a piece of rice cake in his mouth, and Liu Chunyang stared at the round eyes.....

Listen, wrong, right?

"No, I don't. Pei Yanzi said, draped the cloak on his body, and the white cold fur lined his face more clearly, "I want to be the emperor's husband." He nodded slightly, "I have never been an imperial husband." ”

Never been.... Liu Chunyang jumped up and the sound broke the stagnation.

"You, you, none of us have ever been!" he said.

Pei Yanzi said: "Then you can also think about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the chairs in the room clanged, and it turned out that several young people shook their chairs in a panic and fell.

"No, no, we didn't think about it. They waved their hands and said, "I haven't done much, and I don't think about everything." ”

Pei Yanzi smiled and said, "I thought about it, I'll do it." Then he turned around.

Under the gaze of everyone, he crossed the threshold, and his cloak swayed under the winter porch, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Quiet inside.

Zhang Shuangtong laughed out loud, and then the laughter became louder and louder, patting the chair and leaning back and closing.

Zhang Liantang smiled slightly, brought the tea in his hand to his mouth and took a sip.

The other young people, you look at me, I see you have mixed expressions, but they all have smiles.

Only Liu Chunyang.

"He, he. He pointed out the door, trying to follow him out but didn't know how to get there, "Leave him alone?

"Men are unmarried and women are unmarried, and the business has been established, so it is appropriate to talk about marriage. Zhang Shuangtong put his hands behind his head and laughed, "Why can't you do this? Anyone can do this, Chunyang, you can do the same." ”

Liu Chunyang's face turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not like he can do whatever he wants." ”

Zhang Liantang said with a smile: "Yes, but I don't want to, it's even more not." ”

Liu Chunyang opened his mouth to say something, swallowed it back, and looked out of the door.

"It's snowing. He said suddenly.

The eyes of the young people in the room were all looking into the courtyard, where fine snow particles were falling from the sky.

In the first month of the first year of Tai'an, among the officials who were hurrying on the royal street, Pei Yanzi, who was wrapped in a white cloak, stopped and looked ahead.

The winter snow is falling, and on the bright yellow tiles on the bluestone road, a thin layer of frost is spread between the heaven and the earth, shining brightly.

The world is beautiful.
