Chapter 133 An Eventful Year

Weixin smiled and let the two sit down on the wide and unusual couch, the middle-aged monk brought the tea set up, the gray-shirted old man laughed, gently stroked his palm and sighed:

"Master, this tea, I've been thinking about it since last year."

Weixin smiled and prepared a cup of tea, but without answering, the emperor turned his head to look at the old man in gray, and said with a smile:

"Ah Ran's tea has also entered the realm, if you want to drink tea, go to the Cui Palace to drink it."

King Runan smiled and shook his head,

"Forget it, go to the Lucui Palace, when the concubine sees me, she will mention Xiao Ke, as soon as Xiao Ke is mentioned, she will have no mind to share tea, and I will not have the mind to drink tea"

King Runan wrinkled his brows, smiled bitterly and sighed, the emperor thought about it, shook his head with a smile, turned his head, and admired the idealism to share the tea.

Idealism concentrated on sharing the tea, after a while, two cups, a cup of pine cranes floating on the water, a cup of water floating pomegranate flowers, idealism pushed the pine crane picture to the emperor, the pomegranate flower first bloom picture in front of the king of Runan, smiled and said:

"The prince doesn't have to worry too much, the son of the world has the blessings of the son."

King Runan's eyes stared at the pomegranate flowers in the cup, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you for your advice."

The emperor picked up the cup, took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Idealism and asked:

"How are you doing this year?"

"Hmm."

Weixin lowered his eyes, divided another cup of tea, took it and drank it slowly, before putting down the cup, looking at the emperor, and said with a smile:

"The chaos is over."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, drank tea slowly, and gossiped with Weixin, King Runan listened with a smile, and glanced at the dim sum box placed on the side of him, which was brought by the little girl just now? How did you buy snacks from outside and bring them here? It's too disrespectful.

At the end of the month, after the sacrifice, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke were temporarily idle, and the king of Runan got the letter from the master of idealism, and his heart was a little more settled, and he persuaded the princess to no longer press Cheng Ke to determine family affairs from time to time.

Cheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and when he had nothing to do, he was willing to stay in the house, and no longer always hid outside.

After the New Year, Li Xiaonuan will be fourteen, and when he reaches the age of Jilu, Cheng Ke lazily half lies on the east couch of the main house of Qingjian Courtyard, with one hand pillow behind his head, one hand holding the leaf and swaying, squinting at the window for a while, putting the step shake into the Huanghuali box beside him, and casually picking up a red coral flower, squinting and thinking, sighing listlessly.

There are more and more jewelry in the box, when will it be given away? It would be nice if I could put it on for her personally, Cheng Ke closed the box, and his fingers unconsciously touched the carved patterns on the box, the fifteenth lantern festival, she must have come out to see the lights this year, right? Mother has invited the Gu family, and I don't know if she is willing to come, in case ...... Alas, it's better to let Princess Jing invite, forget it, Princess Jing invited her last year, and she didn't invite her

Cheng Ke thought wildly, and gradually fell asleep in a daze.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Princess Runan invited Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou to look at the lantern early, Mrs. Li has been lazy since the New Year, and she did not dare to go out to see the lamp again, Li Xiaonuan accompanied Mrs. Li and refused to go out, Mrs. Li persuaded Mrs. Zhou to go to Runan Wangfu to see the lantern, Gu Xiao was concerned about Mrs. Li and Xiao Nuan, sent her mother to the lantern shed, and rushed back to the ancient mansion.

Cheng Ke was extremely disappointed, and met Mrs. Zhou, and didn't even want to say a word, so he hurriedly came out under the pretext that King Jing was looking for him, and came out sullenly after looking for Zhou Jingran to drink two glasses of wine, and took the car around the street a few times, but couldn't help it, and told Luo Chuan to go to Yanshuxuan.

The two changed their clothes, and they were familiar with Yanshuxuan, the yard was brightly lit, but Xiao Nuan was not in the yard.

Cheng Ke stood stunned for a moment, pursed his lips tightly, and commanded in a low voice:

"Let's go to Mingyuan Hall and have a look"

Luo Chuan looked at Cheng Ke with a bitter face, and moved forward slowly, Cheng Ke kicked him impatiently from behind, and Luo Chuan reluctantly led Cheng Ke to sneak towards Mingyuan Hall along the shadow of the tree.

The two sneaked through a small garden and saw the gate of Mingyuan Hall from a distance.

At the gate of the courtyard, seven or eight lanterns were coming out of the courtyard and slowly walking in the direction where the two of them were invisible.

Cheng Ke's eyes lit up, and Xiao Nuan came back

The lantern was getting closer, seven or eight girls and mothers-in-law, surrounded by Li Xiaonuan and Gu Xiao, and walked over slowly, Li Xiaonuan smiled like a flower, looked up at Gu Xiao from time to time, and listened attentively to what he said, Gu Xiao's eyes did not leave Li Xiaonuan for half a minute, his eyes looked at her softly, and he talked with a smile, and the two gradually approached Cheng Ke's hiding place, and gradually walked away.

Cheng Ke stood up violently, staring blankly at the backs of the two of them as if they were leaning together, only to feel that his heart was sour, as if there were countless knives slashed, and he only bit his lip and oozed blood, and his mouth was full of salt.

Luo Chuan nervously pulled Cheng Ke's arm and pressed him down desperately,

"Master, be quiet, be quiet, let's ...... Alas, sama"

Cheng Ke came to his senses, hurriedly squatted down, hung his head, remained motionless for a long time, got up suddenly, and swept out of the garden, Luo Chuan hurriedly followed, and ran out.

Out of the fifteenth year, the year is far away, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke are busy again.

In the afternoon, after coming out of the Ministry of Engineering, the two went to Tang's house in Lecture Hall Lane together to talk to Mr. Suiyun.

Mr. Suiyun let the two of them in, and instructed his subordinates to bring in wine and food, and the two of them must accompany him to have a drink.

Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke sat left and right, Zhou Jingran shook his fan and said with a smile:

"The master hasn't been out and about all these years, and the gentleman is also stuffy."

Mr. Suiyun turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran and laughed,

"Walk around as you please, and as providential as you like, these are the words of the master."

Zhou Jingran glanced at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke lifted the wine jug, poured wine into Mr. Suiyun's cup, and said with a smile:

"Mr. should also take the two little junior brothers out for a walk, read thousands of books, and have to travel thousands of miles, the two little junior brothers are very good at reading, they should go out and walk around, and it just so happens that Mr. also goes out for a walk."

Mr. Suiyun squinted, stared at Cheng Ke for a long time, picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran and asked:

"Where is this travel?"

"Let's go north, Mr. also go and see the officialdom style in the north, maybe you can write a few excellent articles."

Zhou Jingran said with a smile, Mr. Suiyun raised his eyebrows, thought about it carefully, and nodded with a smile,

"I also want to go out for a walk, the prince and the prince can do things like this, no longer mess around, it is also a blessing for the people of the world"

Zhou Jingran smiled slightly embarrassed, Cheng Ke hurriedly picked up the cup and stuffed it into Mr. Suiyun's hand, and he also held the cup, and said with a smile:

"Mr. has taught me a lesson, and the disciple respects Mr. with a cup."

Zhou Jingran also hurriedly raised his glass and persuaded him to drink.

At the beginning of February, Mr. Suiyun took Gu Xiao and his young son Tang Muxian and quietly set off to travel to the north.

In mid-February, the Liang clan in the south invaded the border, attacked the land and plundered the city, and the momentum was fierce, Zhou Jingran discussed with Cheng Ke, and listened to the meaning of the king of Runan, and decided to let Cheng Ke ask Ying to go to the south to resist the enemy and level the border.

The emperor immediately approved Cheng Ke's invitation, Runan Wangfu was busy, packed his luggage, ordered a small servant, guard, and general, two days later, Cheng Ke set off from the capital, and rushed to the south day and night.

In the early spring, Qin Tianjian and the household department are on the fold, this year's peach blossom flood is only afraid of the ferocious, Zhou Jingran led the messenger to govern the Kun River, and was very worried for a while, on the fold, to immediately set off to the banks of the Kun River to watch the river work, the emperor approved the fold, Jingwang Mansion was also busy for a while, dotting Zhou Jingran's travel.

Zhou Jingran turned around the study a few times, made up his mind, walked out of the study courtyard, and walked towards the main courtyard.

Mrs. Meng hurriedly greeted her, smiling and reporting how she could pack her luggage, Zhou Jingran sat on the couch, took the cup, drank tea, listened with a smile, and saw that Mrs. Meng was almost done, so she put down the cup and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work, this trip out, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back until the end of the year, this half a year, the family will work hard for you, Yuncui Palace, go and see more, talk to my mother."

Mrs. Meng hurriedly nodded in agreement, a slight crimson appeared on her face, and said with a smile:

"It's all within my part, where can I say it's hard."

Zhou Jingran looked at her gently, picked up the cup, took two sips of tea, and said thoughtfully:

"I won't be able to come back until the end of the year, Xiao Ke went to the south again, I'm afraid I won't be back until the end of the year, this time, Gu Jia,"

Zhou Jingran paused, and then said:

"Those secret things, Xiao Ke has arranged them, you take care of these things on the bright side, and go to the Gu family to walk around and talk more when you have time, Mrs. Li and Miss Gu Jiabiao are both extremely transparent and white people."

Mrs. Meng's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she looked at Zhou Jingran blankly, Zhou Jingran narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Mrs. Meng, the smile on her face became stronger, and she continued to explain with a smile:

"Go and talk to Miss Gu Jiabiao more, first, it will be easy to get along after coming and going, and second, it is a very smart and clever ......"

Zhou Jingran looked at Mrs. Meng, who was standing in front of the couch like a crumbling force, paused back to the words, a cold color flashed in her eyes, she slowly smiled, and stared at her silently, Mrs. Meng forced a smile, and reluctantly bent her knees to agree:

"Master...... Rest assured, concubine, you will take care of it...... Miss Gu Jiabiao. ”

Zhou Jingran's eyes narrowed, and he drank tea slowly, not saying that it was good, nor that it was bad.

Spring is getting farther away, when summer is approaching, Mrs. Li's health is getting worse and worse, Li Xiaonuan is a little restless, Mrs. Li comforted her with a smile, and discussed with Mrs. Zhou, I think the capital is too stuffy, and I want to move to Zhuangzi outside the city for the summer, although Mrs. Zhou is concerned about Gu Yunhuan, but looking at the sick Mrs. Li, she is also anxious, and she hurriedly nodded and agreed, and sent someone to send a letter to Gu Yunhuan and other mansions, packed up her things, and the family moved to Zhuangzi outside the city, and accompanied Mrs. Li to recuperate
