The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, and at this time of the year, the king of the stove has to be sacrificed, the official house is the first day, and the ordinary people are the first day. Legend has it that the Lord of the Stove is the god assigned by the Jade Emperor to manage the folk stove fire, and he knows the rights and wrongs of every household.

There was a sacrifice in the palace this morning, Yu Shu had to be present as a courtier, got up early in the morning and put on court clothes, and was intercepted by Zhao Hui who was preparing the sacrificial stove before going out, stuffed her with a mouthful of sacrificial stove sugar, and filled her with a small bag of shortbread.

"Hurry home to eat after the court, don't run around, I won't be happy to send the stove god to other people's houses today."

"Well, I see." Yu Shu was stunned by the sweet throat, Zhao Hui was ready, and asked Shen's mother to bring her a bowl of tea to rinse her mouth, and then let her leave.

Yu Shu went to the front yard to take a sedan chair, and saw that the door of her house was open not far away, and there was a group of people outside the door.

Today's sacrifice in the palace is presided over by Si Tianjian as usual, this year is better, the auspicious time is selected at three o'clock, it is almost noon, you don't have to arrive so early. But Yu Shu heard that last year started early in the morning, and the civil and military officials had to enter the palace when they were in their prime, which was harder than the previous dynasty.

There was a long queue in front of the noon gate, the snow on the palace road was clean, the ground was still a little slippery, and the carriage was easy to slip, so everyone invariably went out in a sedan chair, it was cold, but it was not safe.

It is not easy for Yu Shu to sympathize with the sedan chair drivers, as soon as the winter enters the winter, they will each have two more cotton jackets to replace, and even the leather hats and neck leather handguards are solid cotton, she dares to say that there are dozens of sedan chairs before and after, and the sedan chair bearers in her family wear the thickest.

Waiting to open the palace door, she sat in it wrapped in a cotton mattress and fell asleep, suddenly heard a cough outside, immediately woke up, opened the curtain and looked out, and saw a tin-covered sedan chair parked next to her, Xue Rui showed his face, only half a zhang away from her.

This was the first time the two met after meeting Yunhua that night, and even though Yu Shu had a thousand words to say, he could only wink at him, grin, and make a code.

Xue Rui understood and knew that it would be done, and he was not surprised that he had taken the bait. As for the specific experience, it was inconvenient to say more here and now, so he gave her an approving look, and said it left and right:

"You've been busy these days, haven't you?"

Yu Shu said: "Hey, don't mention it, I have to approve dozens of marriage books a day, and it's numb just to stamp it." "In the past, at most, she would approve a dozen copies a day, but now she has to work for three days a day, can she not be tired?

Of course, she can also take it easy, but seeing that Emperor Zhaoqing is about to die, everyone is in a hurry to do happy events, and she grinds foreign workers again, isn't it hateful, it's better to work hard.

At the end of the year, Xue Rui became idle, and the local unjust, false and wrongful cases would not be picked and sent to Beijing for the New Year.

The two talked for a while, and the team in front moved slowly and opened the palace gate.

This year's sacrifice was held by King Ning instead of Emperor Zhaoqing to ascend to the Temple of Heaven, which was a great honor that made several princes standing in the audience red-eyed and hated to replace them.

The prayer is a big recitation, which is very long, and Yu Shu doesn't understand it very well, but he knows that the general idea is to pray for good weather and peace in the country. Civil and military officials participated together, first burning incense, beating drums and ringing bells, then sacrificing cattle and sheep, and finally three worships and nine knocks, worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping the gods.

For a whole hour, standing there in the cold and unable to move, Yu Shu felt that her face was stiff, and she finally waited for the big mention to announce the completion of the sacrifice, she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she saw King Ning come out to speak, so she silently greeted his whole family in her heart.

Fortunately, at this time, a light snow suddenly fell in the sky, and King Ning couldn't say anything long, and the sacrifice was over, and everyone could leave the palace. A small number of officials stayed behind to slap King Ning, and Yu Shu slipped away as if he had oil under his feet, and of course Xue Rui walked with her.

Yu Shu covered his face with his hands and said, "Let's find a place to sit for a while?" ”

Before going out, Zhao Hui reminded her that if she didn't mess around today, it would be difficult to take Xue Rui home, let alone go to his house, so she couldn't help but whisper to him: "Hey, it's a pity that you rented the Wangji Building to someone else, and now it's difficult to find a place to talk." ”

Xue Rui patted the snowflakes on her shoulders and motioned her to go faster: "You just come with me." ”

Yu Shu thought that he was going to take her to some good place, so the two of them went out of the palace and sat in a sedan chair, went around in the north of the city for half a circle, and actually came to the horse street, entered from the small alley, and stopped at the door of the backyard of the Wangji Building. Before the sedan chair could stop, she got out, and watched Xue Rui knock on the back door with a surprised look and beckoned her in.

The person who came to open the door was also a familiar face, Ah Xiang, who had been sweeping the floor in the restaurant. Yu Shu relieved himself now, pointed at Xue Rui and said with an angry smile: "Okay, you can lie to me, the forgetting machine building is not rented out at all." ”

"When did I lie to you," Xue Rui turned around and smiled at her, bathing in the velvet snow: "Ah Shu, is it okay for the eldest brother to give you the Forgotten Machine Building?" ”

Yu Shu looked confused, she didn't understand at first, but Xue Rui stepped forward and grabbed her hand, but didn't explain, only said, "I'll take you to see." Then he dragged her through the hall under the weeping flower door to the front building.

As soon as he entered the door, Yu Shu's eyes widened, and he thought that he had gone to the wrong place, the tables, chairs and benches in the hall downstairs were all gone, and there were huge murals painted above the four walls, there were green dragons and thunders in the east, white tigers riding the wind and waves in the west, Xuanwu swallowing clouds and spitting rain in the north, and Vermilion Bird electric light and fire in the south, there was another picture of Liangyi on the ground in the center of the hall.

Seeing the mystery of this, Yu Shu still didn't understand anything, pressed a palpitation, looked around, but saw the Baibao Pavilion on both sides, the black wood was painted oily, and even the roof beams and columns were repainted, and there were a water of pear cases and Taishi chairs stacked in the corner, just put the goods on the Baibao shelf, invite a few Yi Shi guests, and recruit a few guys to open the door.

The surprise was still to come, Xue Rui took her to the second floor, the upstairs private room opened up a few walls, leaving a few as living rooms, and the rest merged into a library room, more than 20 bookcases, books filled seventy percent, some new and some old, Yu Shu flipped through a few volumes, the content was all articles that did not leave the road, some were transcripts, some were origins, but no matter the body of the book, it was not something that could be found on the street.

Roughly calculated, the collection of books here is not more than 10,000 volumes, there are also six or seven thousand volumes, at first glance it sounds nothing powerful, but you must know that these books are all scriptures related to easy learning, not mixed with idle and water, this is a considerable number, a family of six generations of easy learning, I am afraid that this is the amount of books.

"Are you going to give me a Great Easy Pavilion?" She turned and looked at him with a dry mouth.

Xue Rui raised his eyebrows and said a little proudly: "I said that I want to build a big Yi Pavilion for you." The building is large enough to be used for other purposes with just a few changes, and some of these books were copied by someone I had earlier asked, some of them I managed to get from other places, and some of them were collected at home. The reason why the family is based is precisely because they have a background, and what you lack can only be made up for from this aspect. ”

Yu Shu has always regarded Xue Rui as a steady man, not arrogant or impetuous, mature and sophisticated, but she never thought that he would do this kind of stupid thing that only a hairy boy who has just started to fall in love can do, but she didn't think it was ridiculous, but it was like the mouthful of candy that Zhao Hui stuffed into her mouth in the morning, which was so sweet.

She really didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she put the book in her hand back on the shelf, stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and said softly: "I also want to run a big Yi Pavilion, but I don't have enough qualifications, there is a place, but I am a lonely person, where can I be called a family?" If you can't call it a family, how can you open a big easy museum? ”

"Who says you're alone?" Xue Rui pulled her into his arms with his backhand, and tapped her forehead with his index finger, "Have you forgotten, I sent someone to your hometown to find out, and I heard that your Yu family ancestors have counted for several generations, and there was a Yi Shi who served in Si Tianjian, counting you here, it happens to be the sixth generation, the sixth generation of the family, and you are an official in Si Tianjian, the female queen of the fifth grade, you can enter and leave the court and meet the Son of Heaven, why can't you call it a family?" ”

Yu Shu was dumbfounded, is this okay?

"Even if it can be called a family, then where can I find two Great Yi Masters to sit down?"

Xue Rui smiled, "Do you still need to look for it, isn't there only one ready-made, do you only see people sloppy, and it is not possible to be the two leaders of other people?" ”

"Xin Lao Wu!" Yu Shu screamed, how could she forget him. "And what about the one that's missing?"

"No, you yourself are a female operator in the top three lists, one level higher than the big Yi master in the top two lists, do you still need to find someone else?"

"But I am in Si Tianjian, how can I sit in the Great Yi Pavilion?"

"Do you think that there are more than a dozen Great Yi Pavilions in the capital, and there are two Great Yi Masters running to sit in the hall every day?" Xue Rui asked her rhetorically.

Yu Shu completely understood at this time, the opening conditions of the Da Yi Pavilion sounded bluffing, but in fact it was full of loopholes to exploit, after Xue Rui said this, he wanted to give her a Da Yi Pavilion, it was really not a whim.

Xue Rui saw her intentions, and added another fire: "Look at the twelve families in Anling City, there are still a few people who serve in Si Tianjian now, but they can just stand tall, why?" It is because they each have a big easy hall, good at management, change the name of the business, based on the people, the people are not in the court, but the name is in the court. And if you have a false name and a weak foundation, there will always be people who will beat your idea, the Ji family, the Yin family, and King Ning. There will be more people in the future who will covet your talent and reputation, and you need to plan ahead to protect yourself. ”

Listening to Jun's words, Yu Shumao suddenly opened up, not hearing the deep meaning of his last sentence.

"The trading of crystal stones, it is impossible to hang under the name of the Taehyung Chamber of Commerce all the time, you should have heard the phrase "tree is big", your uncle has such a profitable business in his hands, sooner or later he will be ridiculed and calculated, the water of the Taehyung Chamber of Commerce is deep, he is just a corner of the ice floe, and when you can't protect him, it will be the time when both people and money are empty. If you are willing to listen to me, you will do your best to take back the sale of crystal stones, and when you open the Great Yi Pavilion, you will invite your uncle to come over and take care of the business, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Yu Shu frowned, grabbed Xue Rui's broad palm hard, thought for a while, and then nodded and decided, "You're right." The crystal stone can't be sold first, as for opening the Great Yi Pavilion, when we capture the Pure Jun Sword this time, I will start to prepare. ”rs
