Not to mention how the royal family spent the New Year's Festival, Pu Wangfu was full of joy. Although it is in the period of filial piety, only the white snow and the eaves of the palace reflect each other, and even a little bright color can not be seen, but this qiē does not dilute the joy in the corners of the eyebrows of the people who come and go. Several masters frequently issued all kinds of rich rewards, and even the rough servants and maids who cleaned were rewarded several times that of previous years. As a result, the servants served more and more attentively, and the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, after Li Hui practiced archery, he went to the inner hall of the main courtyard to greet Li Tai and Yan. He came a little early, and just when he met Li Tai and Yan to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings they had made recently, they seemed to be very harmonious. He couldn't help but move slightly, and his demeanor was a little cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing their Yaxing.

In his memory, in his previous life, they were actually quite cold to each other. Grandpa was depressed in his heart, only immersed in his own world, and didn't care about anything. Mother not only has to take care of King Pu's mansion, but also has to be carefully educated, and she doesn't care much about Grandpa. It wasn't until Grandpa died of a serious illness that she seemed to forget all his bad things, and she was as sad as if she had lost her backbone.

As a filial son, Li Hui certainly hopes that his parents will respect each other as guests, and their lives will be plain and peaceful. However, after witnessing the relationship between his brother and sister-in-law, he felt that the so-called "affection" may be the most difficult. His parents may have a husband and wife friendship who share life and death and weal and woe, but they do not have the relationship between men and women who only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

King Xin'anjun, who had experienced a failed marriage in his previous life, once thought carefully about the fact that love and love are not necessary things, as long as they don't look at each other and hate each other, maybe sooner or later they will have a family relationship that relies on each other. Therefore, for him, it is enough for him to be fortunate and not to be killed.

"San Lang, you can also come and take a look." Yan Shi noticed that the young son was standing next to him in a daze, and called with a smile, "I heard that this was drawn in one go when your grandfather went to the literary meeting two days ago, and it won a lot of praise. You must have been there, right? What do you think? "These days, everyone in the Puwang Mansion is busy in their own ways - the Yan family, Li Xin and the Zhou family naturally revolve around the small county lord of Shouyang, and they can't wait to hold her in the palm of their hands all day; Li Hui was responsible for comforting and accompanying Li Tai, following him to make new friends and go to various cultural meetings.

"The child also thinks it is very good, the gestures are continuous, and the rushing river is drawn with the power of swallowing thousands of miles, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'the pen is like a god'." Li Hui replied, pretending not to see Li Tai's self-satisfaction, "I think this painting can be called the pinnacle of Grandpa's work over the years, so I built Grandpa to dedicate this painting to Grandpa." My grandfather had always been attentive and would have liked it. ”

Some time ago, His Royal Highness King Pu has been staying at home to keep filial piety and rarely going out. So he couldn't help but ignore a little, and he didn't know where he got an "auspicious rui", and he was planning to take advantage of the New Year to win his grandfather's favor. When he learned about this, he was almost shocked into a cold sweat - even the prince's uncle had never offered any "auspicious" to show filial piety, what kind of limelight did Grandpa have? If you really offer it, this "auspiciousness" may become a "curse" at some point!!

Therefore, he adhered to the responsibility of "pacifying, accompanying and protecting", and immediately and decisively dismissed the idea of his grandfather, and finally persuaded him to present this good painting. Of course, just in case, he had to inform his brother. The two of them tried their best to quietly destroy the so-called auspicious ruined cleanly.

What Saburo said was extremely true. A gift you prepare is always more revealing than a treasure that you don't know who has found. Li Tai smiled with satisfaction, unaware that he had escaped another catastrophe.

Yan then ordered people to find several extremely delicate boxes from the storehouse, either carved from a single piece of jade, or engraved with red sandalwood, or inlaid with precious stones, and even crystal boxes from the Western Regions. The three of them carefully picked and picked, and finally packed it in a white jade box, and a rosewood box outside, which was considered to be the gift ready. Of course, the gifts presented in person should be different, as for the earthen ceremonies and various Junzhou customs transported from the fiefdom, they have long been sent to the palace, the East Palace, the Yue Wangfu and other places.

After a while, the servants and maids served the morning food one after another, and Li Xinfang was late, and said abruptly: "The child is late, I hope Grandpa and Auntie don't blame." Just now Ah Shou couldn't stop crying, the nurse couldn't coax it, and the child was worried that it would alarm Han Niang (Zhou's), so she hugged her for a while. Because the lord of Shouyang County was born and was entitled, Yan simply gave her the nickname "Shou Niang", which means longevity and health. As for the daimyo, Li Tai was still pondering and meditating, and firmly dismissed the string of names that Li Xin had come up with.

"Is she alright? Why do you cry so much? Have you ever let the doctor diagnose the pulse? Yan Shi immediately asked, unable to hide his worry, "She is so young, if she is wronged, she can only cry." Han Niang is inconvenient now, you can be more careful. If the nurse or slave maid is not satisfied, they will quickly change it. ”

"A-Niang, don't worry, the doctor has already looked at it carefully, and A-Shou is fine." Li Xin hurriedly said with relief. Since he began to worry about filial piety, the most important thing is naturally to plan for the future, and then to take care of the Zhou family. After having a daughter, taking care of his wife and daughter became the most urgent thing in his heart, and even the safety of the Pu Wangfu was moved back. After all, nothing major has happened in Chang'an at the moment, Princess Anxing seems to have settled a lot, and Li Qianniang, the county lord of Yichuan, has not moved for the time being. Even if you want to prepare in advance, you can't find much to do—if the action is too big, it is easy to arouse suspicion.

Yan was still a little uneasy in the end, and after using the morning food, he took Li Hui to visit on the East Road. At this time, the lord of Shouyang Xiaoxian Fang Ling was only fourteen or fifteen days, and he could not follow the opinion. Li Hui had only seen her from afar a few times, and he couldn't even see what she looked like. This time, the little one seemed to be in a good mood. So, Li Xin reluctantly allowed her younger brother to hug her.

Li Hui stood stiffly in place, carefully holding the fragile little guy in his arms, as if he was holding some rare treasure, lest he hurt her with a little force. The little guy squinted, as if looking at him, and as if he didn't look carefully, his young little hands gently grabbed and grabbed the placket of his clothes, but he didn't have much strength.

Li Hui held his breath and raised his eyes to reveal a "help" attitude, and Li Xin, who was guarding next to him, couldn't help but smile. He hurriedly raised his hand and took the initiative to send the little guy back: "Brother, let's wait for Shouniang to be older, and I'll hug her again?" Now it's just moving at will, and I'm afraid of hurting her, which is really awkward. He could almost conclude now that he liked a child the size of his nephew Li Qiao in his previous life, who had to be at least six or seven years old. too young, too immature; Those who are too old already have their own ideas, and they are not easy to get close to.

"Well, it's not hard for you." Li Xin said, "When you have your own children in the future, you will know that no matter how awkward you are, you can't match the love in your heart." After that, he actually groaned, "I remember, your birthday is in the first month." When the year is over, you will be fourteen, and you will be fifteen. After the grandmother's filial piety, the marriage should also look alike. Only if you start a family first, your grandfather will agree to let you start a business. ”

Unexpectedly, he suddenly mentioned this matter, Li Hui really had no interest in marriage for the time being, and immediately ran away.

After hearing this, Yan smiled and said to Zhou, who was still resting in bed: "This year, he seems to have only grown his mind, but he still hasn't opened his mind at all. Han Niang, we have to find some little ladies and give him a look. It has been a matter of the past few years that the gentlemen have grown up, so maybe when they will become interested in marriage? ”

Zhou said again and again: "According to Yi'er, Ah Hui should indeed participate in more banquets." He would rather spend time with Wang Langjun than get to know other people. Since he and Wang Langjun are almost inseparable, how about letting them both go to the banquet? ”

"You're right." Yan sighed, "Wang Langjun's background is ill-fated, and we may be able to help him find a suitable marriage." If there is a little lady in our family, I will definitely marry her to Wang Langjun without hesitation. It's a pity, Xin'an and Xuancheng of Yue Wangfu are both of the right age, but I'm afraid they won't look down on him. At the beginning, Li Qianniang - it's just that, bad fate, don't mention it. ”

Li Hui naturally never thought that not only did he become the target of his family, but even Wang Zixian was "involved" by him.

An hour later, except for the Zhou family who still needed to recuperate, and the young Shouyang county lord, everyone in the Pu Wangfu changed into ceremonial clothes and rode to the Taiji Palace in a carriage. On days like Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace will naturally hold an all-night banquet, inviting not only civil and military officials, clan royal relatives, but also internal and external women to gather together to wish the New Year.

Although the queen died, there was no singing and dancing and the sound of silk and bamboo in the banquet, and no alcohol was allowed. However, it is rare to hold such a grand banquet in a year, and the crowd is still extremely lively. Li Heng, the king of Yue, Li Tai, the king of Pu, and Li Kun, the crown prince, presented gifts one after another, and personally sent carefully prepared gifts.

The sage smiled and opened it in public to take a closer look, and it was actually all calligraphy and painting made by their own hands, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Didn't the three of you brothers say yes? Do you use your own calligraphy and paintings to prevaricate me? Well? ”

The three brothers were also extremely surprised and looked at each other. Li Kun said with a smile: "The child has recently had free time to learn words, and he feels that he has made a lot of progress, so he brought it to his grandfather for appreciation." In any case, this is also a gift carefully prepared by the child, a heart of fists, how can it be prevarication? ”

Li Heng said: "The child has been instructing his grandson to paint all these days, and seeing his childish and cute work, he has a sense of returning to the basics, so he made this picture." Grandpa might as well take a closer look and see how interesting it is? ”

Li Tai also said: "Grandpa, this is the most proud painting of the child in the past ten years!" If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to offer it to Grandpa, so that I could teach Grandpa to know that the child is indeed very attentive! ”

When the saint heard this, he was overjoyed, and rewarded the three brothers heavily: "This is how the gift should be." I find it interesting that you have prepared your own gifts. The surrounding civil and military officials naturally praised their filial piety and intentions, and laughed at themselves for the gifts they prepared, which was a bit perfunctory in comparison. As a result, the precious treasures worth thousands of gold are also overshadowed in front of these three paintings and calligraphy.

It's a coincidence. Li Hui thought to himself: Why did you send the calligraphy and paintings made by yourself? Could it be ...... Something auspicious, is there really a problem? Should it still be Princess Anxing? What exactly is she going to do?! This matter must be examined more carefully and must not be regarded as a mere coincidence.
