Although the public opinion outside is boiling, and almost all the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, but this year is approaching, no matter the cabinet, the sixth ministry, or the twelfth prison, there is really no time to pay attention to how much money Guo Dan makes.

Now the palace is busy, although there are many national problems, but in terms of the Ming Dynasty tradition, even if there are more problems, this number of rites is still indispensable.

This civil and military officials are busy preparing for the New Year's Day meeting.

This is actually the most important work of the Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet ministers are busy with the affairs of etiquette and law almost half of the time, and the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is simply cumbersome to the point of being incredible.

Not to mention Sage Kong, even Cheng Zhu Ersheng didn't let them do this.

It was these rituals that created the legendary figure --- Wanli.

In fact, since last year, Wanli has begun to do perfunctory things, worshipping heaven and earth, he doesn't like to go, worshiping the ancestors, he doesn't like to go, he didn't go last year.

You must know that in ancient times, worshipping ancestors was a major event, and the people had to go to worship every year, let alone the emperor.

But this thing must be reversed.

Wanli became the emperor at the age of ten, such an innocent, lively, fat, cute and cute child, every day is the ritual law, the law and the etiquette, and the law and the etiquette, and everyone will get tired of it, but he was pressed by Zhang Juzheng and the Queen Mother before, there is no way, let alone pretending to be sick, even if he is really sick, he has to go. However, now that he is in charge, this rebellious mentality has emerged.

He took a leave of absence very early, and he was already hinting to the ministers that we would not do this this year, he just kept the link of receiving gifts and giving banquets to the ministers at the New Year's Day court.

Receiving gifts, of course he likes it, this can't be saved, this is the sage who gave him an opportunity to let the ministers bribe him, it is above board, as far as Wanli's previous virtue is concerned, whoever gives more gifts at the end of the year, he will remember whom, and the chance of promotion is great, but now, his mentality has undergone some changes, and his appearance is even more ugly, after all, Weihui Mansion earns so much money for him a year, you give a thousand taels, he really doesn't necessarily remember.

Of course, Wanli did not get to the point of being a saint, and there was a gift giving link in the second half, but he did not omit this link, he had to give some rewards, and the ministers would be loyal to him.

And giving a banquet to the ministers, this has both a political purpose and a place to eat, drink and have fun, he himself likes it, and if he does what he likes, he will not be sick no matter how sick he is.

But it's one thing whether the emperor goes or not, but the ministers must do it well, no matter how much time they spend, no matter how much energy they have, no matter how poor they are, they can't be poor in etiquette.

In comparison, those merchants are busy, and they all think that time flies too quickly, and there is time to do this.

In the huge Ming Dynasty, the ministers were engaged in these things every day, day after day, year after year, they were not annoying, but it was really drunk.

.....

The winter of the past few years has been extremely cold, with heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth are like hanging a big white curtain, a white expanse.

A woman in a bright red flying fish suit, walking down the empty street with her head down, her leather boots squeaking on the thick snow, looking particularly lonely, followed only by the series of footprints.

Inadvertently, she came to a large shed.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the door, her eyes slightly moist.

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing inside the door, he looked at the woman outside the door, and couldn't help sighing, "Come in first." ”

The woman slowly lowered her head and walked in silently.

This woman is Yang Feixu, and the man is Tong Li.

Entering the house, Yang Feixu habitually went to the beams and pillars and stood quietly.

"Drink a cup of hot water first."

Tong Kasa handed her a cup of hot water.

"Thank you."

Yang Feixu took the water cup and held the palm of his hand, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth.

Tong Li sighed: "It seems that you have already gone to find Guo Dan. ”

Yang Feixu nodded lightly.

Tong Kasa said, "Did that tell you?" ”

"Hmm."

"And what do you think?" Tong Kasa asked again.

Yang Feixu slowly raised his head, looked at Tong Li, and pursed his lips, but he still didn't make a sound after all.

Tong Li said: "Actually, you can go to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to allow you to enter the thousand households." ”

Yang Feixu opened his mouth and said: "Did Guo Dan tell you, otherwise the reason why I entered the thousand households?" ”

Tong Kasa hesitated, then nodded.

Yang Feixu said: "You also agree with what he said, don't you?" ”

Tong Lisa didn't make a sound.

Yang Feixu asked again: "If it was my father or eldest brother who protected Guo Dan, they would definitely do better than me, wouldn't they?" ”

Tong Liwu didn't make a sound.

Yang Feixu raised her head, only to see her long, narrow, bright, and clear eyes full of tears, and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Tong Li sighed: "I only know that your father and your eldest brother have done an excellent job every time. ”

Yang Feixu slowly leaned his back against the beam, and his eyebrows showed a look of pain.

Tong Li knew that the reason why she liked to lean against the pillars was because she had been standing alone since she was a child, but she was more tough, and she never bowed her head easily, and the cold pillars became her only support, and said: "Feixi, you can take your father and eldest brother as role models, but you are not them after all, and you can't become exactly like your father or your eldest brother."

In fact, everyone has their own shortcomings, and your father and brother are not perfect, but there is one thing that you are very similar to your father and brother, that is, you will not give up easily. Do you remember the competition against me? ”

Yang Feixu tilted his head to look at Tong Li.

Tong Li said: "Three years, you and I have been competing for three years, in these three years, you have not beaten me once, but you have never been so discouraged as now, you have to train day after day, after three years, I have never won against you." ”

When Yang Feixu heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he pondered for a while.

I heard a smack.

Another sound was properly heard, and the flames were scattered.

I saw Tong Li's hand holding a knife that had just come out of the sheath, and he was surprised: "What are you doing?" ”

Yang Feixu held the embroidered spring knife in his hand and smiled coldly: "I need to find a little confidence in my head." ”

After that, she swung her knife and slashed it.

"Damn, it's really good to be reciprocated."

Tong Li couldn't help but curse angrily.

......

View of clouds.

Since talking to Guo Dan that day, Aunt Xu has never been out of the Taoist temple, these days she has been staying in a small Taoist room, this Taoist room does not enshrine any Sanqing, ancestor, just enshrine a spiritual position.

Knock knock!

A knock on the door interrupted Aunt Xu's thoughts, "Layman, the water has already been boiled." ”

Aunt Xu opened her eyes, "I know." ”

She slowly stood up, looked at the spiritual position, and sighed faintly: "I made a big mistake back then, it was my teacher who took me in, if there was no teacher to teach, there would be no me today, I originally wanted to devote myself to cultivating from now on, but... But there are some things that I still can't let go of, and I hope my teacher can forgive me. ”

After standing for a moment, she turned and walked out.

An hour later.

Aunt Xu walked out of the bath room, only to see her black and shiny green silk, simply tied into a bun, wearing a black scarf, the perfect goose egg face under the tip of the beauty was vividly displayed, the eyebrows were like green feathers, the eyes were cut with water, and the muscles were like snow, which could be broken by blowing.

Dressed in a pale yellow robe, but a moonlit skirt, lightly painted, the color is extremely elegant, but it is difficult to hide its graceful and luxurious temperament.

With this appearance alone, it is difficult to find a second comparable person in the world, and it is no wonder that so many people wanted to be Xu Jirong's uncle.

......

The Kou family.

"Father-in-law, calm down, calm down, this hard work will always pay off, even if it is not this time, it will be successful next time, it will be a matter of time."

Guo Dan looked at Kou Shouxin, who was pacing back and forth in front of him, he couldn't help crying and laughing, threw his crutches to get Kou Shouxin, and became a little too lively and not easy to control.

"What hard work."

Kou Shouxin said angrily: "This northern farmer cultivates two harvests a year, and Jiangnan harvests three times a year, but what about you, there has not been a sound in the past two years, if it is not this time, the old man will find Lang Zhong to help you take a look." ”

"Wow! Father-in-law, you're a personal attack! ”

"Go, go, go! You shut up. ”

Kou Shouxin waved his hand, paced around willfully, and looked out of the door from time to time, "Why hasn't it come out yet?" It's really urgent. ”

Before the words fell, I heard Kou Yi's shout at the door: "Master! Master! Great joy, great joy! The eldest lady is pregnant. ”

When Kou Shouxin heard this, like a lightning strike, his whole body trembled violently, his knees weakened, he knelt down, looked up at the sky, and in an instant, he burst into tears, crying and shouting: "Ancestor bless, ancestor bless, my Kou family finally has a queen." ”

Guo Dan just stood up, and when he heard this, he felt strange and didn't feel good, and said in his heart, what do you mean? If you can't conceive, it's my pot, and if you get pregnant, it will become the credit of your ancestors. Alas... Guo Dan, Guo Dan, don't be presumptuous in the future, this little white face is really not something that everyone can do, and your failure is excusable.

.....

Spring full building.

"Little... Little uncle! ”

When Sister Huahua learned that the loser Xu Jirong was gone, she really "rolled" down the stairs, and then pounced on the door like a rabbit.

It's a pity that the loyal Chunchun protected Xu Jirong and didn't let her succeed.

Xu Jirong waved back, and saw four idlers walking forward with a box in their hands, opening the box, and going underground.

Bang bang bang!

The white flowers of silver fell like heavy snow outside the house.

Sister Huahua already looked demented.

Xu Jirong wrote lightly: "I have it here today." ”

Sister Huahua suddenly burst into flames and yelled, "Daughters, don't come over quickly." ”

"Wait!"

Xu Jirong raised his hand and said, "Let them all go back to the house and stay, no one is allowed to open the door today, including you, I just want to be alone and quiet." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the table in the middle and sat down, turned his head to look at the pile of silver, and couldn't help but be full of sorrow, and said melancholy: "My family's money can't be spent, and this still makes me make so much money every year, so how can I spend it!" Alas....... ”
