Chapter 325 Thoughts

Qi Shi looked at Li Xiaonuan, his eyes flashed with clarity and surprise, and he hurriedly bent his knees and thanked:

"Don't worry, young lady, I know what you mean, don't worry, this matter is just begging the prince and the prince to be fair in the middle, this is our family's family matter, and it is always our lord and uncle to discuss it."

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Qi with appreciation, nodded with a smile, and let the two of them go,

"I'll send my two sisters-in-law back, it's getting late, and I'm going back to keep the New Year with a family."

Zhao followed behind, Qi was half a step behind Li Xiaonuan, and when he arrived at the door of the flower hall, Qi was busy letting Li Xiaonuan,

"Young lady, go back quickly, it's cold outside, look at the freezing"

"It's okay, I'm going to go to the backyard to keep a New Year's Eve as well."

Cicada Wing hurriedly put the cloak on Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan tied his belt, and asked with a smile while letting the Qi family and the Zhao family walk out:

"The eldest brother is a guard, and he will have a way to advance in the future, what are the plans of the second brother now?"

"He's a no-brainer, but he also has some self-knowledge, since half a year ago, he has been preparing to take the six junior officials, if he is lucky, he can pass the exam, and he can be regarded as having a livelihood."

Qi sighed, and replied indifferently, Li Xiaonuan listened carefully, thought about it with a smile, didn't answer again, sent the two to the moon gate, and stopped, Qi and Zhao said goodbye, Li Xiaonuan smiled and watched the two of them walk out of a dozen steps, before wrapping their cloaks and going to Ruizi Hall.

Qi and Zhao returned home and got out of the car in the second gate, Qi pulled Zhao and flashed into the side hall next to the second gate, muttering for a long time, Zhao nodded with determination, and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry, this time I'm out of the way, just for the sake of a few children, I'm also out of the way"

"Look at you, what does this have to do with being open-minded? You just whispered this to your uncle, as far as your uncle's temper is concerned, it must be willing, but my grandfather, you have to think of a suitable rhetoric, okay, don't look like you want to die or live desperately, you just say what I said, my grandfather and I are willing, and anything else, just let your uncle think about it, he has the most bad ideas."

"Look at you, how can you say that about our master."

Zhao muttered in a low voice, Qi ignored her, pushed her out of the side hall, and the two of them didn't go to the main courtyard to ask Gu **** for peace, Gu Zi went back to their respective courtyards, and the matter of keeping the New Year was put aside for the time being, just go back to discuss the big things.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, they sacrificed their ancestors, entered the palace to celebrate the New Year, Cheng Minying and Cheng Minqing's family came back for a day in the second day of the new year, and the family invited a few close relatives and friends to eat New Year's wine in the house, Li Xiaonuan in the fourth and fifth days of the new year was at home to eat New Year's wine, and the princess went out to eat New Year's wine at someone else's house, and they were busy for two days.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, the car of the princess of Jingbei entered the palace of Runan, and the old lady paid a greeting to the old lady, the princess went out to socialize the New Year's wine as usual, Li Xiaonuan took the princess of Jingbei, and introduced Ruizitang all the way, the old lady hugged Ah Ben, and did not get up, and let the princess of Jingbei sit on the couch in the east wing at will.

The old lady stared at the nurse and carried Ben into the next room, and watched Ah Ben sleep well, and then came back and Princess Jingbei crooked on the couch, and talked about the children's scriptures again at length.

Princess Jingbei sighed sadly,

"Ancestor, I won't hide it from you, I came here today, there is another matter, I want to beg the ancestor."

"You just say it, but if I can help, you just say it."

The old lady responded sharply, Princess Jingbei sighed again and again, and said in a low voice that Zhou Shiyuan was obsessed with women and hurt his kidneys, vaguely revealing that Princess Cheng's lax discipline was something innumerable, and the old lady looked at Princess Jingbei clearly, and sighed sadly,

"I'm old, and I'm impatient to talk like this anymore, so I'll say it bluntly, Zhou Jingcheng's side concubine, the girl of the Xu family, right? I have also heard some of those things, Zhou Jingcheng has been a flute since he was a child, it seems that he has grown into his thirties, and he still hasn't come to his senses, this man is confused, the lard is blinded, what can a woman do? It's not Ayu's fault, it's not her fault."

Princess Jingbei pressed a handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, choked for a long time, and then swallowed her tears and spoke.

"This time the diagnosis was sick, I persuaded Ayu, to think about it, if something happens at this time, it is a good thing, maybe I can stay in the army in the south for a few years, let him suffer some hardships, sharpen his mind, not to mention anything else, it is good to be able to go to some impetuousness, that is, for this to ask the ancestors, in the south, the ancestors are the people who say their word, if you want to ask the ancestors to send a word, let Shiyuan, that child, don't let people instigate and bring it to the bad again, let him suffer some hardships, blood and sweat, and don't dare to count on him. Just pray that you can be safe, and don't harm yourself and others, it is a great blessing. ”

"Is this what Ayu meant?"

Princess Jingbei nodded,

"I don't dare to hide it from my ancestors, it was Ayu who begged me to ask my ancestors, and the ancestors also knew, she didn't dare to come, she knew that the ancestors treated me kindly......"

The old lady paused, looked at Princess Jingbei hesitantly, Princess Jingbei looked up at the old lady, immediately understood, and hurriedly whispered:

"This is what Ayu meant, Shiyuan's father...... I thought a lot, I thought a lot, I told Ayu, she can't control this matter, and it's not her responsibility, Nanbian, if it's so easy to reach out...... Hmph, it's the north, and it's been how many generations have been buried there to earn it. ”

The more Princess Jingbei spoke, the more vague she became, the old lady squinted her eyes slightly, and gave a plausible 'um', and then turned to the topic just now,

"Ayu can think so, this boy, just have to endure hardships, blood and sweat are nothing, you can rest assured."

The old lady simply agreed, and the princess of Jingbei breathed a long sigh of relief, and folded her hands and recited the Buddha,

"Being able to be taken care of by the ancestors is his blessing, and it is also Ayu's blessing."

The old lady sighed again and again by what Princess Jingbei said, and the two of them didn't mention half a sentence, chatting about the short gossip in the parents, talking and laughing easily, Princess Jingbei had dinner in Ruizitang, and it was not until the end of the day that she got up and said goodbye and went back.

The old lady sent off Princess Jingbei, pondered for a long time, and personally sent Ah Ben back to Qinglian Courtyard in the evening, waiting for Cheng Ke to come back, and gave Cheng Ke the entrustment of Princess Jingbei in detail.

This year, in the process of inviting people to eat New Year's wine and being invited to eat New Year's wine, it soon came to the 15th, and Cheng Ke arranged it early, and just after the end of the 15th, he dragged Li Xiaonuan out and went shopping.

In the evening, the two of them were upstairs in Houdeju, looking at the bustle of the street, eating slowly, seeing the crowds outside, and the lights were everywhere, Cheng Ke stood in front of the window with Li Xiaonuan and watched for a long time, and suggested with a smile:

"Let's go to the Great Ciyun Temple to see the excitement?"

"Is there still a lot to watch this year?"

"What's the excitement to see? There is always a little bustle every year. ”

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, and the two put on cloaks, went out and got into the car, and went to the Great Ciyun Temple.

Daci Temple is still as lively as ever, Cheng Ke led Li Xiaonuan, entered the temple gate, the poetry lanterns hanging everywhere in the temple and the red lanterns covered with red veil seem to be a lot denser, Li Xiaonuan raised his eyebrows, scratched around with his fingers, pointed to Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke followed Li Xiaonuan's fingers, looked at the lanterns hanging in the secret code everywhere, and the crowd of people crowded around, leaned over Li Xiaonuan's ear, and laughed in a low voice:

"This is your blessing, this poetry and lantern festival of Ciyun Temple has really become a scene in the capital and a scene in the Yuan Hui Dynasty."

Li Xiaonuan couldn't support his smile, and together with Cheng Ke, squeezed into the second gate in the crowd, on the left hand side of the second gate, there was a sparse open space abruptly, and only three huge lanterns were hung in the open space, and you could see the three words written by the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the lantern from a distance, and the literati students walked in front of the three lanterns in a very orderly manner, looking at the words on the lamp in a small or not fine way, some arched their hands, some were long, and some tied the small paper strips in their hands to the lantern tassels.

Cheng Ke held Li Xiaonuan, followed behind a young couple, and slowly walked to the lantern, Li Xiaonuan reached out and held up the countless notes tied to the tassels, on the very small notes, or it was written 'eternal', or 'Liufang', Li Xiaonuan only felt that a hot current rushed up from the bottom of his heart, and tears suddenly gushed out of his eyes, Li Xiaonuan dropped the note he was holding in his hand, pressed the corner of his eyes tightly with a handkerchief, leaned on Cheng Ke's chest, choked and said:

"Get out, take me out."

Cheng Ke hurriedly hugged Li Xiaonuan, retreated to the side where there was a little less crowd, and looked down at her nervously,

"What's wrong with you? Under the weather? Sick? ”

Li Xiaonuan lowered his head, covered his face with a handkerchief, calmed the tumbling heat in his heart, and only raised his head for a while, looking at Cheng Ke with red eyes,

"I'm fine, but when I saw this, I remembered my old ...... Old Madam Li felt sad in her heart. ”

Cheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Li Xiaonuan's shoulder, patted her gently, and comforted her gently,

"Don't be sad, when this is over, I will accompany you to Shangli Town and offer incense to Old Madam Li and Master Gu."

Li Xiaonuan rested his head on Cheng Ke's chest, stood for a moment, calmed down, and then raised his head, looked at the open space and the crowd in the open space that now looked heavy and solemn, was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and asked in a low voice:

"You did it? King Jing? ”

"It's not me, well, in the afternoon, Anxin told me that there was a single circle here to hang those three words, and I was also reading Lord Gu, so I asked people to tie a piece of paper there, so that Anxin quietly guarded, and later, Xiaojing also asked Qingping to come and tie one, well, it's okay, we're just thinking about it ourselves, and we don't mean it."

Cheng Ke said confidently

Well, these days, well, let's tell you a joke, there are a lot of very interesting fox fairies and ghosts in the notes of Reading Wei Caotang, and the fox ghosts in it are very humane, I remember that there is a story, it is like this (I have been reading it for a long time, maybe there are vague places, don't verify it)

Ji Xiaolan children's shoes said that his uncle Yi'an Gong's house, a small building was occupied by a fox, one day, the upstairs was a scolding whip, the servants went downstairs to listen to the excitement, upstairs a painful scream, 'downstairs, you are reasonable people, talk about it!' Is there a woman beating a husband in this world?!' Downstairs listening to the lively crowd, there happened to be a person, just beaten by his wife, with blood on his face, everyone burst into laughter, coaxed 'there is something, this is a lot, not to blame', the foxes upstairs also burst into laughter, and the beating and scolding stopped.

I have memorized a lot of such stories in Reading Weili, which is very interesting.
