Chapter Eighty-Three: Comparison (Rewarding the Alliance Leader)

The sky was bright, the vision was blurred, and the mountain wind began to get stronger, blowing the cloaks of the two.

"Put your hat on." King Jin'an said.

Cheng Jianniang raised her hand and put it on.

The mountain breeze looms with the sporadic sound of firecrackers.

"Is it twenty-nine or thirty today?" The king of Jin'an County asked suddenly.

"Thirty, tomorrow is the first day of the new year." Cheng Jianniang said.

"Then my sixth brother and I will stay and spend the New Year with you." King Jin'an said with a smile, "It's more lively when there are more people, but I don't know if it will inconvenience you." ”

Cheng Jianniang turned her head to look at him.

"I know." King Jin'an snatched her words and said first, "There is no one, and there is nothing to inconvenience you, so I will ask casually." ”

Hearing this, Banqin hurriedly turned around and waved at a few entourage.

"You go to one and tell Cao Guan not to prepare to leave in advance, but to prepare for the New Year first." She whispered.

In the capital, when night falls, there is no one on the street, and the hustle and bustle is closed in every house.

A new peach charm has been hung in front of the house by the jade belt bridge, and the two little girls finally wiped the lantern on one side, and the two little girls in the yard were busy before and after.

"Sister Banqin, you really don't want to go home."

"I'm not going, I'm going to this house and it's empty, it's not popular, this is the lady's home, Banqin, go back quickly, I'll go and kowtow to the old lady in the first month."

It's called Banqin, and the answer is also called Banqin, and the little girls looked over with some curiosity.

The two women under the porch smiled and held hands, and as soon as they said goodbye, there was a bustle in front of the door.

"Shiro-kun is here." Banqin said with a smile. Hurriedly took it.

The little guys in front of the door were busy giving gifts. Watching this rather shabby young scholar step forward.

Cheng Shilang was a little uneasy.

"I'll be fine at the academy. What else do you come here for. He said.

"This is home, the academy is on vacation, what are you doing alone." Banqin said with a smile, looking at Cheng Shilang and sighed, "Shilang-kun, how can you wear such a thin winter coat and cloak in this winter?" ”

"I came out in a hurry, I forgot to bring it." Cheng Shilang said with a smile. "It's not cold in the car anyway."

Banqin didn't ask again, let the little girl lead her in, and turned around to grab Cheng Shilang's little girl.

β€œβ€¦ I didn't send it at home..."The little girl was afraid of this eldest sister, so she hurriedly whispered.

"If you don't give it to yourself, you won't buy it, what do you want you to do." Banqin shouted in a low voice.

"Sister Banqin, I, we don't have that much money...."The little guy whispered.

"Didn't you send money from home? The fourth son of your family is not our mother, and no one cares about his family when he dies. Banqin said.

This eldest sister has the sharpest tongue, and the little sister laughs.

"No, no. I don't know what's going on, maybe it's not there yet. He said.

Banqin reached out and poked him in the forehead. A glaring made him walk away, and he turned and went into the house.

"....I'll go back after dinner..."Cheng Shilang said.

"What are you going back for? Early tomorrow morning, Lang Jun and I will go to Mrs. Zhang's house to pay New Year's greetings. Banqin said.

Sheet... Sheet?

"Is it the gentleman's house?" Cheng Shilang's voice trembled a little.

"It's not Mr. Bai, it's to meet the old lady." Banqin smiled.

Isn't that the same? No, I'm more nervous than meeting Mr.

"It's some new clothes."

"And made me clothes?"

"That's not it, it was made for Fan Langjun and them at the beginning, I didn't wear it, Shilangjun, you are too thin, you have to change it to be smaller..."

The room was brightly lit, and the warmth was thick with conversations, laughter, and a warm winter night.

The night is gradually falling, the sound of firecrackers in the capital is becoming more and more intensive, and the lanterns of each household have been hung and lit, and the city is like a fairyland on earth.

The Taoist temple on the mountainside looks even more lonely at night, with lanterns hanging in front of the door swaying in the dark mountain forest.

There are a lot of people sitting in the backyard room, but in the end, it is difficult for them to enjoy the situation at this time.

"This is some water wine, a few bites, it can be regarded as a scene." Steward Cao said.

Everyone present laughed and held it up to take a sip.

"In the mountains and countryside, coarse tea and light rice, everyone should not dislike it." Steward Cao continued, "But this is a very famous dim sum of Xuan Miaoguan, everyone try it." ”

The people sitting in the room raised their chopsticks, thanked them, and began to eat.

The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Steward Cao turned his head to look and saw a bonfire burning in the yard, and Jin Ge'er was smiling and throwing the bamboo pole into it, making a popping sound.

"Brother Jin, don't mess around, look at it, and burn your hands carefully."

The door of the main hall is wide open, the lights and candles are bright, and you can see Cheng Jiaoniang, the king of Jin'an County, and the second prince sitting inside.

I don't know if it's because of the sound of firecrackers or something else, the second prince is screaming loudly and overturning several cases in front of him.

Banqin hurriedly came out to scold Jin Ge'er.

"He's not afraid of that." The king of Jin'an said, while reaching out to hold the second prince who was writhing around, "He is not afraid of firecrackers, he is used to listening to them along the way, he just doesn't like to sit, and he will be annoyed for a while." ”

Banqin brought him the boiled tea soup. Cheng Jianniang said.

Banqin responded that he was busy, and the second prince broke away from the king of Jin'an County and moved to the opposite side of Cheng Jianniang's case, the king of Jin'an reached out and didn't catch it and got up and followed, but it was still too late, the second prince reached out and grabbed a plate on the several cases in front of Cheng Jianniang, he may have wanted to take a snack, but he overturned the plate, and cried because he couldn't get his way.

The house was in chaos.

I really shouldn't stay, it's lively, but a few people will like it.

The king of Jin'an County sighed in his heart, grabbed the second prince to persuade him, and stretched out a snack in one hand.

"Let's play." Cheng Jianniang said.

The second prince stretched out his hand and grabbed it, grinning, saliva dripping onto his clothes.

The king of Jin'an County hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it for him, and Cheng Jianniang's hand reached out again.

"Yours." She said.

The king of Jin'an looked at her and smiled, because he was holding the second prince with one hand and wiping his saliva with the other. I can't pick it up and I have to take it. simply leaned over and stretched out his head to bite Cheng Jianniang's hand into his mouth.

"Thank you." He said vaguely with a smile as he chewed.

It's so abrupt! Banqin was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around.

"Come on. Come on, firecrackers, let's throw a few too. "Steward Cao was busy greeting everyone,

Everyone rushed over with a haha, and sure enough, they took bamboo poles and threw them into the fire, and the crackling sound in the yard rose one after another, which corresponded with the sound of firecrackers in the villages below the mountain.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when it was still dark, the front of the palace was already full of dense people. So many people, cars and horses are still silent, which adds a bit of prestige to this palace.

When the officials were still entering the palace in order of their respective official positions, Qin Shisanlang was already strolling outside the main hall of the banquet in the palace.

The hall was luxuriously decorated and brightly lit, this was the annual banquet, but it was the first time that Qin Shisanlang participated.

"At that time, I thought that avoiding the excitement was the excitement, but now it seems that it is the right way to hide in the city." He nodded.

Now it seems that many of the things I did at that time to be a normal person still seem abnormal in the eyes of real normal people.

"Childe, Madame told you not to wander around." The little servant reminded in a low voice.

Qin Shisanlang had already moved to a side hall. Listening to it, I can't help but be curious.

"Thirteen Princes, this is the Kabuki of the Sect Division waiting to sing and waze." The interior in front of the door said with a smile.

Qin Shisanlang nodded. As she spoke, the female officer of the Teaching Workshop Department led a group of people to hurry over, most of them were girls singing songs.

Qin Shisanlang turned around to leave, but he saw a female trickster who walked at the end saluting him, but he was a little familiar, and he stopped.

The maid did not speak, so Shi Li got up and bowed her head and walked into the hall.

"It's Little Lady Zhu." Qin Shisanlang rang out and said.

The actress in her beautiful dance dress stopped, smiled at him and saluted again.

In addition to the special kabuki in the palace, the palace banquet will also choose the servants of the teaching workshop, this kind of occasion is not everyone can be selected, especially the adult women, the selection criteria are more stringent, and the innocent body is naturally the most basic requirement, but the official prostitutes can retain their innocence for a long time, especially those who are beautiful, and the appearance of the innocent body is slightly inferior, the good skills are older, and the young singing and dancing skills are slightly inferior, in short, it is difficult to have both.

The slave family just wants to do the best no matter what they do.

Qin Shisanlang thought of this sentence and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Little lady Zhu, do your best." He said.

Little Lady Zhu obviously understood what he said, and she was still a little surprised that Qin Shisanlang remembered what she had said, but soon she smiled again, bowed her knees again, and turned around and bowed her head into the hall without speaking.

As long as you do it, you can do your best, so that life is interesting.

Qin Shisanlang smiled, raised his feet and walked away.

Although the second prince in the palace had an accident a few years ago, the pain still has to be forgotten, life still has to go on, and the ancestral rules cannot be changed at will, so this year's New Year's Festival activities have not been interrupted.

It was already dawn.

The sound of firecrackers has dissipated, and the sound of bells and chanting from the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain has added a bit of peace.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the king of Jin'an turned his head and saw Cheng Jianniang coming over.

"Why did you wake up so early?" He asked.

"I slept last night." Cheng Jianniang said.

"You don't keep it this New Year." The king of Jin'an said with a smile, no wonder she took her leave after eating, leaving only the maidservant entourage to keep vigil with their people, and thought she was avoiding it, but she went to sleep.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"I slept yesterday afternoon, and although I didn't sleep at night, I'm not sleepy now." King Jin'an said, "Thank you for your tea soup, the sixth brother slept very well, and I was still asleep when I saw it." ”

Cheng Jianniang gave a slight salute, did not speak, put on her hood and raised her feet.

"Where are you going?" King Jin'an asked hurriedly.

"I'll go for a walk." Cheng Jianniang said.

Still leaving? If you take a walk when you're in a bad mood, is it always a bad mood?

The king of Jin'an County frowned slightly and raised his heels, there was something in his heart yesterday that he did not look at it calmly, at this time, the woman's expression was indeed different from before, although the expression was still blank, but Xiao Suozang under his eyes could not hide.

It won't be just because she was abandoned by her family.

"Cheng Fang." He shouted.

Cheng Jianniang looked back at him.

"What's wrong?" King Jin'an looked at her and asked.

"My business." Cheng Jianniang said.

My business... Something happened, but it's my own business... So you won't tell it to others?

The king of Jin'an took a few steps closer, wanting to comfort but didn't know what to say.

"Look at me, I'm so miserable." He smiled and said, stretching out his hand to himself, "Do you think that the world is not so difficult?" ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and shook her head.

"I'm worse than you." She said.

"I left my parents since I was a child, although I know that my parents can't help it, but it is this helplessness that makes it even worse, and I don't even have a place to resent." King Jin'an continued, "Although I was a child at that time, children are more sensitive, although you are also disliked by your family, but you still have a mother and grandmother, besides, I am not making fun of you, or simply sighing, you were like that when you were a child, it was also a kind of luck... I don't know whether it hurts, I don't know whether it's fearful, it's not like I, it's like the fear and helplessness of watching the guillotine fall and count down to death. ”

Cheng Jianniang still shook her head.

"At least your family is there." She said, "I'm worse than you." ”

"Yes, no matter how much you don't care about, there's nothing you care about, and there's only one more, but it's gone." King Jin'an said with a sigh.

"You're the only oneβ€”" she said, pausing halfway through.

You've just lost someone you care about, and I....

"I'm worse than you." She finally just said.

The king of Jin'an looked at her and smiled, his eyes flashed a little with a smile, and his vision was a little blurred.

"Hey, are we going to be miserable?" He said, "Even this kind of thing is too difficult. ”
