A month later, it was Datang's New Year.

Tianbao 12 years, Gu Qing first arrived in Anxi, a year, he not only gained a foothold in Anxi, but also established authority, now Gu Qing in addition to the legitimate identity, the real power in his hands is already the real lord of Anxi.

At the beginning of New Year's Day, the thirteenth anniversary of Tianbao quietly came.

In the small border towns, the lights are decorated with lights, the popping poles are thrown into the fire and make a crackling sound, the people who beat the gongs and drums are in high spirits, and the newly built bazaars are even more crowded, and the people happily take out the savings they have accumulated for the whole year and buy New Year's goods in the bazaar.

Qiuci City is a small city where Hu and Han people live together, about one-third of the population in the city are Hu people, most of the Han people migrated from Yumen Pass, and they have lived in Qiuci City for two or three generations.

Despite moving to the borderlands, the customs of the Han people have been preserved, and every New Year, the Han people in the city will celebrate as if they were in the Guannai, buying New Year's goods, making lanterns, worshipping their ancestors, etc., which are no different from the Guannai.

It's just that every New Year's season, the Hu people in the city are a little embarrassed.

Hu people are just the New Year, the Hu people who live in the city are at the bottom of the chain of contempt, even if the Han people live a poor life, the eyes of the Hu people are always discriminatory, the blood is mixed, without the king, in the eyes of the Han people is a mixed blood barbarian, is a symbol of lowliness, even if the Hu people have a rich family, in this city dominated by the Han people, they still have no confidence, and they are full of weakness in wearing silk.

As for Han-Hu intermarriage, it is regarded as a great rebellion in the city, as long as the Han people marry the Hu people, regardless of whether they are male or female, they who are originally Han people are automatically demoted to Hu people, and they can no longer claim to be Han people, and it is self-evident how the children born will be discriminated against.

Gu Qing knew that this was the reality, but he couldn't change it, not only Qiuzi, but as long as there was this kind of discrimination in the cities within the influence of the Tang Protectorate.

In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, everyone was proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and some Hu people also wanted to enter the Tang Dynasty household registration with a shy face, but most of them were cruelly rejected by the government.

The household registration of the Tang Dynasty is not so easy to enter, unless it is the Hu people who have made military achievements in the Tang Dynasty, or the Guicheng Hu tribe that is specially appeased by today's son, such as the Turkic tribe Ashina at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Existence is reasonable, Gu Qing can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Those who deserve to be despised continue to be despised.

The Han people's idea is right, Gu Qing observed for many days, and found that the Hu people in the city were indeed not kingized, they didn't know what loyalty was, and they often did business and forgot the villain's actions.

To be honest, Gu Qing didn't have a good impression of Hu Ren, and he was faintly repulsed in his heart, but Gu Qing was still quite polite to Hu Shang, who abided by integrity.

On the first day of the New Year, Gu Qing gave himself a holiday and took his guards to the Fuzhi Inn, which was considered to celebrate the New Year.

Feng Shu Wei Shen and other fellow villagers also came, Fuzhi Inn is a special session in Shiqiao Village today, Gu Qing is in a good mood, and he is even more bold and generous to drink with Feng Shu Wei Shen and others, and the wine is dry.

In the evening, the laughter of the people beating gongs and drums outside the inn to celebrate the New Year came, and the joyful hustle and bustle reflected the laughter in the inn, and the wine in the wine glass rippled out one after another.

Huangfu Sisi wrapped a headscarf on her head, personally cooked one excellent dish after another, and her simple dress could not hide her beautiful and refined face, like a virtuous wife, warmly and generously entertaining her husband's relatives.

"Gu Qing, I have to say, you did a good job, fortunately you didn't stay in Shiqiao Village, you are not a thing in the pool, staying in that remote mountain village is delaying your life, seeing you get ahead today, Uncle is very happy......" Feng Shu drank a little too much, and he couldn't stop talking.

Immediately, Feng Shu, who was full of red light, slapped Wei Shen next to him, who was immersed in eating and drinking, and said angrily: "Bastard boy only knows how to eat, look at you Brother Gu, and then look at you, the melon baby who makes dung, but anyone who can compare to one ten-thousandth of your Brother Gu is not the same as he is now." ”

Wei Shen covered his head innocently and looked at Gu Qing with an aggrieved expression.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "Uncle has drunk too much, don't worry about him." Live a good life, no matter rich or poor, just live a comfortable and happy life, the word 'breath' is actually the biggest destruction of life. ”

Wei Shen pursed his lips and said: "You are extremely rich now, so you naturally speak easily, but I am often beaten and scolded by the elders in the village, and now the elders in the village compare us with you and Brother Song. ”

Gu Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I also drank too much just now, and I accidentally poured chicken soup, so let's say it again,...... Well, you should work harder, learn more from me and Song Gensheng, and your efforts will definitely be successful, who doesn't want to live a rich life? Tomorrow I will ask someone to send you a set of books, and then let the military Chinese officer give you a few sets of test papers, and this New Year, you can make a good paper, don't go anywhere. ”

Feng Shu, who was drunk, was overjoyed and nodded again and again: "Very good!" That's how it should be! ”

Wei Shen was shocked and looked at Gu Qing in a daze, as if he had seen a devil.

Gu Qing smiled maliciously, feeling that he was too good at chatting.

Huangfu Sisi brought the last dish, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he wiped his hands and stood behind Gu Qing.

Feng Shu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The girl has worked hard, we are ignorant, and we still bother the girl to work in the New Year." ”

Huangfu Sisi smiled: "It's not hard, I'm happy when the New Year is lively, if you don't come, the concubine's small shop will be deserted, and it will be uncomfortable to look at." ”

Feng Shu said with a smile: "Girl, sit down and eat together, although you and I are not relatives, but it is also fate that we are both in a foreign land, especially, your fate with Gu Qing is not shallow, just treat it as your own family and spend the New Year together." ”

Huangfu Sisi was happy and ashamed, lowered his head and pursed his lips and chuckled.

Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "Sit down, you have also eaten this meal, don't forget to make a ruthless break when keeping accounts." ”

Huangfu Sisi glanced at him, snorted lightly, and then sat beside Gu Qing generously.

Pouring wine and serving a cup, Huangfu Sisi first saluted the elders, and then drank a few cups with Wei Shen and a few teenagers, and finally saluted Gu Qing with a cup in his eyes, and said affectionately: "Master Hou, the concubine wishes you a healthy New Year, and you will be promoted to the rank of lord in the coming year, and the people of the four towns of Anxi will accept your kindness." ”

Gu Qing laughed, raised his glass and said, "I also wish you a prosperous business and a successful cure for your hand tremors." ”

Huangfu Sisi sneered, and threw a coquettish look at him.

Feng Shu looked at the two of them with a smile, and for some reason suddenly thought of Zhang Huaiyu.

The woman in front of her eyebrows was affectionate, and she clearly had a deep affection for Gu Qing, although Gu Qing was a marquis and a prince, but after all, she was a young man, and she would inevitably be unable to hold it in front of her beauty, so it was okay to take this woman as a concubine, but she couldn't threaten the position of Miss Huaiyu's main room.

Therefore, I have to send a letter to Chang'an and tell Miss Huaiyu everything here, for Gu Qing's marriage, Shiqiao Village has already recognized Huaiyu's identity as the main wife, which is beyond doubt.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Feng Shu, who was drunk, was helped back by Wei Shen and several young people, and the cups and plates in the inn were in a mess, and they suddenly became deserted.

Gu Qing was also a little drunk, he didn't refuse to come tonight, he didn't remember how many glasses he drank, although it was made from grapes in the Western Regions, it tasted like juice, but this wine had quite a lot of stamina, Gu Qing was already a little dazed, and sat at the table in a daze and didn't move.

Huangfu Sisi drank a lot of wine, but at the moment, he didn't know whether to pretend to be drunk or really drunk, he lay softly on Gu Qing's shoulder, sipping a cup shallowly, and his slender fingers were as white as jade and slightly upturned, like a picture of a lady who had been handed down from generation to generation.

"Is Master Hou drunk? Can you drink a few more glasses with your concubine? Huangfu Sisi exhaled like an orchid in Gu Qing's ear, Gu Qing's ears were itchy, and his mood couldn't help but become restless, like a wild horse out of control, loosening the reins and galloping wildly.

"I ...... Can't drink it anymore. Gu Qing shook his head, if he drank again, he would be really drunk, Han Jie and the guards were guarding outside the inn, what if he was drunk and bullied by the bad guys?

Just as he was about to get up and go back to the camp, Huangfu Sisi suddenly held his face with both hands and stared at his eyes affectionately and seriously.

His eyes reflected her appearance, like a reflection in the autumn water, swaying, and the Yi people were on the water side.

"Let go of me, I'm a little dizzy and I'm going back." Gu Qing tried to sober himself up.

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and said, "Master Hou, don't move, you have rice grains on the side of your mouth......"

"Is there one?" Gu Qing subconsciously touched his lips, but was held down by Huangfu Sisi.

"Master Hou, the concubine will help you clean up ......" Huangfu Sisi's face turned red, and he greeted him shyly and timidly, his lips suddenly approached his lips, and his fragrant tongue stretched out, passing over his lips briskly and dexterously.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to react, her lips were completely attached to her lips, and they quickly parted in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, the concubine has cleaned up the Hou Ye." Huangfu Sisi's face became more and more ruddy, and he covered his face and ran into the backyard.

Gu Qing was still sitting at the table in a daze, his face shocked, and he woke up seven points in an instant.

Just now...... Insulted?

How so? Day and night defense, after all, I still didn't prevent it, and I was taken advantage of if I was not careful.

I've accumulated two lifetimes, and I'm in good condition, and the first kiss with thick pulp......

On the way back to the camp, Han Jie walked beside him, carefully holding Gu Qing, seeing Gu Qing's sad expression and vague steps, Han Jie couldn't help but look at him worriedly.

"What's wrong with Master Hou? I was very happy, why was I so sad and angry after the banquet, what happened in the inn just now? Han Jie asked with concern.

Gu Qing ignored him, his mind kept buzzing, and he looked up at the night sky from time to time and sighed.

"Han Jie, I suddenly miss Zhang Huaiyu......" Gu Qing said coldly.

Han Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want to send someone back to Chang'an and invite Miss Zhang to Anxi?" ”

Gu Qing shook his head, he was used to a long-distance relationship, but he was just ......

The desert was desolate at night, and the hustle and bustle of the city did not make the desolate scenery cheerful.

Gu Qing suddenly sank into the dantian, facing the empty desert wilderness and roared.

"Zhang Huaiyu, Zhang Huaiyu! Whining...... I'm not clean anymore! ”
