Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before dawn, the merchant had already opened his eyes on the soft and warm bed. If you listen closely, there is already the sound of hens "clucking" in the yard outside the door.

Today is the last day of the second year of Yonghui!

Tense up and stretching, the merchant lightly lifted the brocade quilt covering his body, lest he wake up the other person sleeping on one side.

Through the light through the open lattice window, I could faintly see a graceful woman lying facing inward.

"You're up?" With the merchant's movements, the person who turned sideways to the inside turned his head and greeted softly.

"Sleep! It's still early! The merchant smiled and looked at the man who turned over and sat up.

"It's not too early, it's thirty today, and there are still a lot of things to do!"

Wu Meiniang smiled, followed the merchant and got up, lifted the curtain casually, and hooked it on the bedpost.

"That's right! If you don't mind, come with me! I don't have a girl here, so I have to do everything myself. Shang Shang didn't shirk when she heard this, she just smiled politely, she really didn't think about how to treat this future female emperor.

Yesterday, when she saw Wu Meiniang, dressed in a monk's robe, who came out of the carriage, she was really shocked. At that time, the first reaction was to turn around and look at Li Mo behind him.

Fortunately, Li Mo's face didn't look wrong, and his eyes were still unfazed, as if the person who came was just the most ordinary guest.

He just nodded slightly at Wu Meiniang, then called Li Yan, who came with the car, and turned around and went back to his room.

The businessman who was stunned and couldn't return to his senses had to take over the task of placing Wu Meiniang, and brought Wu Meiniang, who was dusty and undecided, into his house.

No way, who made it less housed? Wu Meiniang, who has nowhere to go, can only squeeze into the same bed with her, but fortunately---- her bed is big enough!

Li Yan just sat for tea in Li Mo's room, and then drove the carriage away again, leaving the tired Wu Meiniang to fall asleep in the merchant's room.

After listening to Li Mo's subsequent explanation, Shang Shang finally figured out why Wu Meiniang came to her and Li Mo's residence in Jiuzhi Mountain.

I have to say that the action of Queen Wang and the entire family behind her is still very strong!

Taozhi left the Ganye Temple with his front feet, but after two hours, the Wang family's people surrounded the Ganye Temple. If it weren't for Li Zhi's fast walking, he and Wu Meiniang would all have been blocked in the Ganye Temple and arrested.

Wang Renyou is an old fox in the end, as soon as he found out that Wu Meiniang was gone, the entire Chang'an City immediately fell into a storm, and the streets and alleys were full of people sent by the family, searching for Wu Meiniang's hiding place all over the city.

Although these big families were quite well-behaved and did not explicitly say who was searching, such a big movement still caught Li Zhi off guard.

Originally, according to his expectations, Empress Wang got the news and then arranged it, at least two days of effort, this is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Wang family should not have so much time to deal with a woman.

After the Chinese New Year, he will be able to spare time to send Wu Meiniang to the home of the official surnamed Wu in Luoyang that he has already arranged, and everything will naturally fall into place.

It's just that there are thousands of calculations, but Li Zhi has missed the hearts of the people!

There is a woman who can influence the king, and this woman is outside the grasp of those big families, how can such an extremely serious event in their eyes be comparable to a mere year?

And as a result of such a rush of the nest, Li Zhi had to cancel the original plan and send Wu Meiniang to Jiuzhi Mountain overnight.

"What's this? When I was in Ganye Temple, didn't I have to come to everything by myself? Wu Meiniang paused slightly, smiled faintly, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in her tone that she didn't notice.

The merchant was holding his hand for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

Wu Meiniang's identity is really a little embarrassing, which is also the main reason why the businessman doesn't know how to treat her, and the politeness and alienation in his tone are all due to this, but he doesn't take into account Wu Meiniang's mood.

"Actually, we are the same age, if you don't mind, I call you Mei Niang, okay?" The merchant neatly pulled his hair up on the top of his head, tightly tied it with an ebony hairpin, and turned around and smiled.

"Of course, can I also call you a merchant?" Wu Meiniang picked up a pot of hot water from the charcoal stove next to the door, poured it into the copper basin on the wooden frame, and took off the face towel she was wearing.

She had no objection to Shang Shang's proposal, on the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief from her heart.

Since Li Zhi fished her out of Ganye Temple, he naturally had his plans, and she would not be naïve to think that Li Zhi was just looking at her pitiful and wanted to pull her out of the sea of suffering!

Anyway, I can't resist and can't resist, so it's better to stay here in Jiuzhi Mountain and live a comfortable life for a few days while I haven't entered that cannibalistic place.

"Since they are all equals, why not?" Shang Shang laughed, the expression on his face frank and sincere.

Wu Meiniang looked at the smiling face of the businessman, was stunned, and in an instant, she seemed to be relieved, and laughed.

The two let go of the awkwardness in their hearts, talked and laughed out of the door, and when they passed by Li Mo's door, they also smiled and said good morning to Li Mo, and then went into the kitchen to settle breakfast.

Li Mo looked at the smiling face of the merchant who put down the mustard, shook his head with a smile, and turned around and went back to the inner room.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is indeed a lot to do.

With the help of Wu Meiniang, the merchant heated up the leftover dishes from the previous day, quickly rolled out three bowls of noodles, and the three of them ate some indiscriminately, and then made breakfast.

After eating, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the merchant put the sacrifices and fruits that had already been picked out into a big basket, handed them to Li Mo to carry, and turned back to Wu Meiniang and said:

"Mei Niang! Today thirty, let's go to the mausoleum to worship the first emperor and successively, we have to come back to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't want to go, just wait for us to come back in the house, there is a earth dragon in the house, and it is warmer. ”

Wu Meiniang looked at the merchant in a clean and tidy jingchai cloth skirt, and then looked at Li Mo, who was carrying a basket of sacrifices, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I go with you?" ”

It seemed that she didn't expect Wu Meiniang to say this, Shang Shang was stunned for a moment, but soon she reacted and said with a smile: "Then let's go together!" ”

For Wu Meiniang's identity, Shang Shang still couldn't help but slander him, although according to Shang Shang's knowledge, Wu Meiniang's real favorite is Li Ke, but this can't hide the fact that she is Li Shimin's concubine, this is with her father and son, how should this life be counted?

Compared with the stunned businessman, Li Mo's reaction was much more natural, hearing Wu Meiniang's words, he just nodded slightly, then said no more, walked out of the yard first, took out the horse tied under the stable, and handed the reins to the merchant.

"Let's go! If you're quick, you'll be back in time for lunch. Li Mo turned over and got on the horse, his posture was clean and neat, and the basket in his hand did not move at all.

The Tang people are good at martial arts, and Wu Meiniang's riding skills are not weak. The three of them galloped all the way, but it took an hour to reach the place where the Zhaoling dismounted stone.

When the horse was tied to the stone pillar, the merchant looked at Wu Meiniang's eyes and felt a little more sympathy.

Walking up the stone steps, the three of them stopped in front of the main hall.

In addition to the national funeral of Taizong's death that year, Wu Meiniang came to this magnificent hall for the second time.

Looking at the solemn palace that shone with a cold golden light in the sun, Wu Meiniang had mixed feelings for a while.

It seems that yesterday, she was still enjoying the flowers in the royal garden full of flowers, and all the way to the dazzling peonies, cold peonies, with a fragrant fragrance around her. When I woke up, I suddenly fell into a desolate and silent meditation monastery, and my ears were full of desperate and powerless voices of meditation.

On the narrow and stiff meditation bed, the cold that can never be hot makes her hug herself tightly every night, and she doesn't dare to relax a little.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked these women to use their youth sacrifices to pray for the longevity of the country, but can such a prayer with hatred and resentment in their bones really achieve their fantasies?

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but sneer, if there was no Li Zhi's protection all the way, I was afraid that she would also become one of those women who would go crazy or die, right?

Thinking of the anxiety and uneasiness when Li Zhi sent someone to send her, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be in a trance again.

When even Li Ke had already turned his back on her, how could she, a widow of a former dynasty, be favored by today's son?

"Let's go inside!" Shang Shang whispered behind Wu Meiniang.

Seeing Wu Meiniang standing at the door of the hall in a daze, looking at the statues of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun in the hall with complicated eyes, her expression was unpredictable, and the merchant had to remind her softly.

It doesn't matter if she's unwilling, resentful, or whatever. The dead are gone! They should all be put down.

What's more, if she is with Li Zhi, the two people enshrined here will become her in-laws, so she has to be respectful.

Wu Meiniang, who came back to her senses, smiled gratefully at the businessman, raised her heel and stepped behind Li Mo over the high threshold and entered the door.

The merchant took the basket in Li Mo's hand, Wu Meiniang also restrained her mind at this time, stepped forward to help the merchant put the sacrifices in the basket one by one on the incense table in front of the statue, lit six more incense, distributed them to Li Mo and the merchant, and retreated to the side.

After Li Mo and the merchant firm had passed the big ceremony of kneeling and nine knocking and completed the worship, Wu Meiniang stepped forward, lit three incense sticks, silently inserted them in the incense burner, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

She herself couldn't understand whether she hated or resented in her heart, but there was a voice in her heart that was unusually clear: In this life, she and the Li family can no longer be separated!

After the silent sacrifice, the three of them went down the mountain with their own thoughts, and when they returned to the small courtyard, it was really not noon.

Wu Meiniang tied the horse under the stable and lowered her head into the kitchen, not noticing the inquiry and thinking in Li Mo's eyes when he looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.

The merchant threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Li Mo, and the two of them frowned in unison as soon as their eyes touched.

Wu Meiniang's attitude is free and her eyes are complicated, even Shang Shang, an insensitive person, can see that although she is not showing anything at present, she may not have a good time in the future!
