Yu Xiaoxiao asked Mama Wang: "What are the rules for entering the Vermilion Bird's palace?" ”

Mama Wang glanced at her princess and said, "Anyway, you can't jump in." ”

Jade Little ......

"It's snowing!" The fifth prince sat on Gu Xinglang's lap at this time, and the little fat finger pointed out the window and shouted.

The big guys looked out the window together, and the snow was flying outside the window again.

Yu Xiaoxiao thought that she had to travel far away in the ice and snow, and muttered: "This Li Xiaoyuan doesn't choose a good day to celebrate his birthday, this kind of heavenly road must be difficult to walk." ”

Anyway, can you choose a date for such a thing as a birthday?

The big guys looked at each other.

is also the eldest prince who was born in the winter and stares at his sister, could it be that he was born in the winter, and his sister is not waiting to see him?

This snow didn't seem to stop, and that night, Gu Xinglang was lying under the quilt with his daughter-in-law in his arms, remembered something, and asked Yu Xiaoxin: "Xiaoxiao, what gift should the saint prepare for us to send to Suzaku?" ”

The etiquette of birthday gifts, Yu Xiaoxiao still knows, yawned, and Yu Xiaoxiao said to her own Xiaogu: "Send some money." My father now shouts that he is dying of poverty every day, and I think my father will give him one or twenty taels of silver. ”

One or twenty taels of silver? The corners of Gu Xinglang's mouth twitched.

Yu Xiao Novel: "How much rice can this money buy?" But it can't be helped, that's my aunt's man, my father gives me more money, and Li Xiaoyuan can be nice to my aunt, right? ”

Gu Xinglang let out a vague "um", and began to calculate, did he have to discuss with his sister-in-law, let the family prepare a gift, they really want to give one or twenty taels of silver as a birthday gift, Li Xiaoyuan not only slaughtered them violently, but also had to attack them Fengtian to vent his hatred, right?

"I'm going to ask my dad for travel expenses tomorrow," Yu Xiaoxiao said again: "I'm working for him, I can't do without the travel expenses." ”

"We have money," Gu Xinglang said with his hand, brushing Yu Xiaoxiao's long hair that had fallen down.

"That's the money to buy rice!" Yu's little head rubbed against Gu Xinglang's shoulder.

Gu Xinglang shook his head, forget it, anyway, his daughter-in-law didn't toss him, "Sleep," Gu Sanshao coaxed his daughter-in-law and said, "I'll go into the palace with you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm," Yu Xiaoxiao responded, hugged Gu Xinglang and fell asleep.

Yu Xiaoxiao is asleep here, and Xianzong is still busy in the imperial palace. Although he shouted that he had no money, he didn't dare to be sloppy with this birthday gift. After looking at it in his private vault for a long time, Xianzong picked out a lot of good things, especially a vermilion bird made of a whole piece of red jade, which was pointed out as one of the birthday gifts.

Reaching out to touch this red jade vermilion bird, Xianzong and Qinghai sighed: "We Fengtian people call this the vermilion bird, and in the Vermilion Bird Country, this is their national protector spirit beast Vermilion Bird." ”

Qinghai looked at the red jade vermilion bird and whispered, "Holy Lord, the slave looks like a phoenix. ”

Xianzong hurriedly said: "Li Xiao is far away from his birthday, I will give him a jade carved phoenix?" ”

Qinghai looked stupid and said, "Phoenix is not good? ”

Qinghai pretended to be stupid and succeeded in pleasing Xianzong, Xianzong laughed and said: "If Li Xiaoyuan and his wife are alive, it's okay for me to send only Yufeng, he has a big birthday, I send Yufeng, scolding him for being a woman?" "No matter how strong his daughter is, he can't die like this.

Qinghai had a look of sudden realization.

Xianzong pointed to the body of the red jade vermilion bird and said, "The vermilion bird resembles a phoenix, but the texture of the feathers is different. ”

Qinghai was not interested in knowing the difference between the phoenix and the vermilion bird, and after listening to Xianzong's words, he pretended to stare at the red jade vermilion bird, and then patted Xianzong's sycophant, bowed down and said, "Holy Wisdom!" ”

Xianzong was very reluctant to touch his treasure again, and ordered: "Pack it." ”

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites responded together: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Xianzong walked out quickly, he couldn't stand in his own private vault anymore, and his heart would break if he stood any longer.

These rare treasures selected by Xianzong were packed and put into the treasury of the Inner Court Division when it was almost dawn every day, and after the gifts of Prince Rui and Prince Yu were delivered, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were responsible for counting and making books.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the two dozen or so black lacquered wooden boxes that were neatly placed and said, "Wu Zhen stays and guards." ”

After listening to Lord Shangshu's words, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the eunuchs of the Inner Court Division, all looked at Wu Zhen, who was the squire of the Ministry of Rites. Sitting here guarding the box, you can send a petty official of the Ministry of Rites, how can you use a waiter of the Ministry of Rites to guard it?

"Yes," Wu Zhen, who was being watched by everyone, responded calmly.

"Let's go," the Ministry of Rites Shangshu glanced at the subordinate, flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out.

The eunuch, the chief eunuch of the Inner Court Division, also walked up to Wu Zhen, arched his hand, and said, "Then I will bother Lord Wu to watch it here." ”

Wu Zhenchong, the chief eunuch, nodded.

The chief eunuch snorted in his nose, turned around and left with the people.

Wu Zhen looked at the few eunuchs who were guarding the warehouse with him, and his face, which was still calm, distorted. Wu Zhen is a Tanhualang in the year before last, just in the prime of life, born in a family, and originally had a prosperous official fortune, but it is a pity that Liuzhou Wu's family is close to Zhao Qiuming, and Zhao Qiuming's loss of power has darkened his official career even with him.

Turning around and looking at the warehouse with only wooden boxes and no chairs and wooden stools, Master Wu was in a state of uneasiness. He is now struggling to move in the Ministry of Rites, and the newly appointed Ministry of Rites Shangshu has a deep friendship with the Gu family, Wu Zhen feels that his boss is ready to find out his mistakes at any time, and then drive him out of the Ministry of Rites and the court in Fengtian.

Turning around and standing, the snow was flying outside the door, Wu Zhen thought in his heart, now it's too late to make friends with Gu Xingnuo, Zhao Xiang can't turn over, then he will wait to be squeezed out of the officialdom. Thinking about the scene after he became a cloth cloth and was even convicted, Wu Zhen shuddered.

Master Wu stood frozen until dawn in this treasury of the Inner Court Division.

After dawn, Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion sent birthday gifts, all of which were more than 20 good wooden boxes, but the color of the box paint was lighter than that in the palace, in order to show respect for Xianzong.

Wu Zhenqiang, who was stiff all over, beat his spirits and took the officials to start counting the birthday gifts first.

When the wooden box containing the red jade vermilion bird was opened, it caused a burst of amazement from everyone.

Wu Zhen looked at this red jade vermilion bird, and an idea that was so presumptuous and bold that it could make their Liuzhou Wu clan be punished by the Nine Clans suddenly appeared in Wu Zhen's mind.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites walked in with a group of officials of the Ministry of Rites at this time, and saw that Wu Zhen had already taken someone to open the box and count, his face sank, and said: "Lord Wu is so bold, I haven't arrived yet, and you have already ordered the box to be opened?" ”

This is how the Ministry of Rites acted before, and I didn't see anyone say that it was wrong, after hearing the boss's sudden attack on him, Wu Zhen bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It's the lower officials who are presumptuous." ”
