Chapter 165: New Year's Month

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Songxian didn't go out, and Cheng Huaijin was alone in Jinling, he didn't have any relatives and no friends, so they didn't have to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't have to wait for anyone to come to the door.

On the morning of the second year of junior high school, Ji Songxian got up to clean up, not only packed up the New Year's gifts, but also changed into clothes, that is, Cheng Huaijin, she also cleaned up very neatly.

Cheng Huaijin loved black clothes, but Ji Songxian didn't bring clothes according to his preferences that day, but took a robe with a blue background and silver thread weaving pattern, and used a hairpin red gold hairpin to comb his hair, and then put on a mink warm hat, and when it was cleaned up, the two went directly to Ji's house.

At this time, Wu had been waiting for a long time, and from time to time he asked people to go out to have a look, and asked Sun to let the kitchen clean up a table of Ji Songxian's favorite meal.

And waiting for the dawn, Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin came together, Ji Songxian entered Wu's house, Cheng Huaijin entered the study, after a while, the food in the kitchen was ready, Wu's called a banquet in the front hall, the banquet opened two seats, divided into men's and women's seats, and the screen was held in the middle, the women were sitting inside, and the men were sitting outside.

Wu Shi Laji Songxian entered the table, sat down and said: "You have been too lonely this year, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you will go out with me to eat and drink, and you will be bored at home all day long." ”

Ji Songxian lowered his head slightly: "Mother and sister-in-law go, I'll ...... He said that in the first month of this year, he asked me to go out less to eat and drink, but I still didn't go. ”

"This son will take care of you?" Wu Shi looked at Ji Songxian with his eyes: "You are also more obedient." It's not going to work. ”

Ji Songxian was next to Wu Shi and whispered in her ear: "It's not that he is in charge of me, he is an official in the court, and he is in such a position, he is different from others in many things, and besides, he is very well-informed, and he can't say it...... After all, he is for my good and our family's good. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Songxian lowered his voice again: "My mother only said that I have been lonely this year. But I don't know if it's better to be cold. I think it's much better than a big family of people squeezing in one place, you don't know, since your son-in-law sealed the pen, but it's free. He was at home all day. Every day, I cook a lot of food and I eat a lot. I've gained a lot of weight this year. ”

When Wu Shi heard this, he immediately looked at Ji Songxian carefully: "It's really fat, so it seems that my uncle is really good to you." You have to listen to what your uncle said, even if you don't like to ask you to eat and drink, you don't go, I'm old now, and I don't want to move, so I won't go out, your sister-in-law wants to take care of the house, or it's better at home. ”

Ji Songxian smiled, knowing that Wu Shi listened to her words, so he was relieved.

This wine was eaten until almost noon, on the men's seat, Ji Gang took a few brothers to pour Huaijin wine, Cheng Huaijin did not refuse, and he didn't know how much wine he ate at the next table, but his face was as usual, and he was not a little drunk, but the faces of the Ji Gang brothers who drank were red.

When the women's table was almost finished, Ji Songxian asked the girl to pass the word, only saying that Mo Duo eats wine, and it is not a good thing to get drunk and have a headache during the New Year, and besides, you don't have to be polite at home, try your best, don't force it.

When Cheng Huaijin heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "What Madam said is very true, in this way, it is better not to eat this wine." ”

For a while, he wanted to get drunk and drink soup again, and seeing that he was clearly afraid of his wife like a tiger, it was really so that Ji Gang and the others didn't know what to say.

The two stayed at Ji's house until mid-afternoon, seeing that it was getting dark before leaving, and after going back, Ji Songxian began to pack up his things and prepare to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to live for a few days.

On the third day of the new year, the family left, and went directly to the hot spring Zhuangzi, the head of the village got the letter early, and the house was cleaned up earlier, and it was also smoked warmly, and after Ji Songxian passed, the head of the village visited the master, and moved out a lot of fresh food from the warehouse, as well as a variety of pickled meat dishes, etc., and rushed to ask someone to prepare a banquet for Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin.

After the two of them ate, they took a change of clothes to go to the hot spring, this bubble, I don't know how much time has passed, I only know that when I went back to the house, Cheng Huaijin took a big blanket wrapped in Ji Songxian and carried him back to the house, and when he went back, he put Ji Songxian on the bed, and when he came over to serve the beam, he saw that Ji Songxian was only wearing a middle coat, and his long hair was scattered, and he obviously slept very deeply, his face was spring, his posture was lazy, and he brought a lot of bright colors in the clear beauty, which was more beautiful than the peony of the country.

Huan Liang took a thick brocade quilt and covered it for Ji Songxian, and when he tucked the quilt for her, he saw that Ji Songxian had a few red marks on the neck socket, and his lips were also a little red and swollen......

Not to mention how Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin are happy every day in Zhuangzi, only to say that the Ji family, Wu has sent several daughters-in-law close to her mother's house back to her parents' house since the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then detained the daughters-in-law at home and did not ask them to go out to eat and drink.

If this matter is replaced by someone else's family, I can't say that there must be any contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the Ji family is a rare kind person because the Wu family is a rare kind person, and they have gotten along with the daughters-in-law over the years, none of her daughters-in-law have complaints, it turns out that Wu is not willing to go out when he is old, and he is too lonely at home alone, so he detains them to accompany him.

Sun's concubines thought about Wu's goodness, but they were also afraid that Wu's heart would be lonely, so they changed their ways to amuse her.

It's just that on the eighth day of the new year, many ladies went to the Chengguo Mansion as guests, and when they were eating and drinking, they didn't know why, Princess Jinyang went crazy and scolded the Zhou family, and in a fit of anger, she lifted the table again, which really scared these ladies.

It's just that Princess Jinyang is not proud, His Majesty's newly recognized biological mother, the Empress Dowager Li, who has just been canonized, issued an order to reprimand Princess Jinyang, Princess Jinyang's face was blue for a while, and she scolded Empress Dowager Li with her waist crossed, and she was even more frightened by many orders, and she didn't eat much wine, and she left in fright.

On the eleventh day of the first month, there was a Jinguo Mansion Ma family to invite guests to eat and drink, but also went to a lot of people, originally wanted to invite Wu Shi to bring his daughters-in-law over, only Wu Shi refused, this day Jinguo Mansion came to a lot of guests, about three rounds of wine, when the dish passed five flavors, the little grandson of Jinguo Gong, his sister-in-law's young son fell into the pond and drowned when he was rescued, and when many people went into the water to save this little son, they actually caught forbidden things in the pond of Jinguo Gongfu, and the Jinyi guards were all on the door.

On this day, all the visitors were frightened by this change, and they went home one by one in fear, and when they went back, they closed the door and did not dare to come out again.

A few days later, His Majesty called someone to investigate, and found out that the Jinguo Mansion had stolen royal tribute and sold it over the years, and had colluded with many wealthy businessmen to do a lot of shady deeds.

For a time, His Majesty was furious, and ordered Jinyi Wei to investigate thoroughly, until the twentieth day of the first month, the crime of Jin Guogong was placed on the imperial case, and it was really fatal enough, although Emperor Qingfeng was a benevolent monarch, but he also couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, so he immediately summoned Cheng Huaijin into the palace and ordered him to take someone to inspect the Jinguo Mansion.

Cheng Huaijin took the wolf-like Jinyi Guard, took the Jinguo Mansion to prison, and rummaged through it one after another, not only sealing the family assets on the surface of the Jinguo Mansion, but also several private treasury in the dark, as well as the assets hidden in the dark room of the grandmother's wife's house, some of which went into the treasury, and some of them fell into the hands of Jinyiwei.

The Jinguo Mansion is also a family that has been operating for hundreds of years, if it is not so simple to check it, but during the New Year, it is the New Year's banquet when his family's young grandson falls into the water, and the Jinguo Mansion is frightened up and down for a while, and it is too busy to go wrong, and Emperor Qingfeng is also striking while the iron is hot, and he is not prepared to arrest the Jinguo Mansion as quickly as possible.

In this way, most of the family wealth accumulated by the Jinguo Mansion for several generations went into the pockets of Emperor Qingfeng, and Emperor Qingfeng's private treasury and treasury were almost filled.

Because of the affairs of the Jinguo Mansion, in this New Year, I don't know how many officials and eunuchs were frightened, so they took advantage of this trend, Emperor Qingfeng changed many border guards, and more and more controlled the military power in his hands, and Cheng Huaijin In addition to the name of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was also crowned by Emperor Qingfeng as the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, and he was in the limelight for a while.

The Ji family, the Sun family and the Wang family served on the side of the Wu family, while peeling the dried fruits, while accompanying the Wu family to laugh, laughing for a while, Sun asked: "Mother is so prescient, this New Year always do not go out to eat, but save our family how many things, my mother does not know, that day in the Jinguo Mansion many edicts returned home did not sleep a peaceful sleep, I saw so many things with my own eyes, and I was afraid that in front of His Majesty to fall close to the Jinguo Mansion, more and more cautious, easy not to dare to come out, It's just that our family didn't go out as a guest because of the wind and cold, and avoided such a bad thing. ”

Wang also smiled: "In the end, my mother is old and has a lot of menstruation, and she has eaten more salt than the rice we have eaten, so it is obvious that she has seen through this matter." ”

Wu smiled: "Where is I to see it thoroughly, it was your sister who said that to me when she came back from the second year of junior high school, otherwise, how can you and I love to be so lively at home." ”

"It's my sister?" Sun was taken aback, and then thought of Cheng Huaijin's position, but he also understood something: "I'm afraid that my brother-in-law mentioned it, it seems that my brother-in-law is still very close to our family." ”

The Wang family thought in their hearts, they would have to walk around with Ji Songxian a lot in the future, and in the end, she would have more convenient news. (To be continued......)
