Time has come to the first day of the lunar month, and as it is approaching the end of the year, Chang'an City is getting busier and busier.

Dayue Jiazi broke Chang'an before the first day of the lunar month, when the battle with Daqi broke the cauldron and sank the boat, the two sides died more than 100,000 people, and the suburbs outside Chang'an City were full of old horses, but there was no living person.

After Emperor Xiaozong entered Chang'an, the world was determined, and a martyr's grave was dug next to Qujiang Pond, and the remains of soldiers on both sides were all buried in it, announcing the end of the Three Kingdoms that lasted for a hundred years, and they were all the people of Dayue in the future.

Countless wives who are waiting at home to look forward to the return of their husbands, after waiting for a long time and losing news, every year there are people who come all the way to find here, there are those who commit suicide in Qujiangchi, and there are those who cry alive in front of the martyrs' graves, which have lasted for more than ten years, so that Emperor Xiaozong has to send a lot of officials to wait beside the martyrs' graves to appease these women who have lost everything, and specially let the queen go to the martyrs' graves every year to pay respects.

Now that time has passed, the things before Jiazi have become a thing of the past, but the habit of coming to Qujiang Pond to make incense on the first day of the lunar month every year has not changed, but it has evolved into a festival that mainly enjoys the snow scene, just like the Dragon Boat Festival Qu Yuan, which is a festival that came into being.

However, when today's son has not been re-established after the queen's death, the task of bringing the lady over fell to the head of the queen mother.

As the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, Mrs. Lu was widowed after she got married, and she didn't move around much because of her reputation, and she was not familiar with other wealthy ladies on Kuishou Street.

And Xu Buling followed Mrs. Lu to Qujiangchi, in addition to distraction, there were also some other arrangements.

The Queen Mother took a group of wealthy ladies out of the city to enjoy the scenery, and the security work naturally couldn't go wrong.

Xu Buling secretly asked Ning Qingye to make a posture of stepping on the spot around Qujiang Pond, deliberately leaving some traces.

After the Investigation Department found the traces of Ning Qingye, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and sent more than 100 wolf guards to guard the surroundings on the first day of the lunar month, and entered the thousands of imperial forest troops to clear the area around Qujiangchi in advance.

Zhang Xiang was led out of the hole, and Zhu Manzhi naturally took advantage of the situation to enter the case library under the pretext of consulting the case file, but there must be more than one Zhang Xiang stationed in the case library, which needs to continue to create a little chaos in the Investigation Department......

————

The early morning of the first day of the lunar month.

At the request of Mrs. Lu, the Suwang Mansion of Nuoda was slightly tidied up, and the eight palace guards were dead soldiers, and Xu Buling could not use them in ordinary times, so they let them be hard-working little gardeners to prepare for the New Year.

The sky has just turned white, and the snowflakes are not big and small sprinkled between the courtyards, Xu Buling tidied up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, because the name is still to worship the martyrs, among which there are many soldiers under his grandfather Xu Lie, who are dressed more formally, but they don't need to wear crown clothes before the crown, just a more solemn brocade robe and jade belt.

Old Xiao stood in front of him with a cane, talking about today's arrangement:

"There is a bamboo forest near Qujiang Pond, you have to go in and out, the trap arranged in advance, Ning Qingye will definitely not be able to kill Zhang Xiang, and it will cause a little chaos at that time, whether she can retreat or not depends on her ability.

Zhu Manzhi entered the case library at noon, the hour was just the time to eat, and the number of wolf guards patrolling was greatly reduced, and I tried to make a little mess to lure the wolf guards away, and I had about half an hour to go in and consult the file......"

Xu Buling listened carefully, and after making sure that there was no problem with the arrangement, he nodded lightly: "Take eight guards with you just in case, if you fold inside, I will be alone." ”

Lao Xiao smiled: "Little Wang Ye rest assured, Lao Xiao I have no other skills, life saving kung fu is first-class, according to the current situation, if the little prince is poisoned, maybe he can send you away first." ”

“……”

Xu Buling really couldn't refute it, so he chuckled, took the sword from the carved tiger Lanqi and hung it on his waist, and walked out of the palace gate.

The always solemn and solemn Kuishou Street rarely saw more noise, dozens of carriages came out of the mansions of various princes and generals, servants and maids hugged each other, and women accounted for the majority.

As a place where the top families in Chang'an City gather together, even the noblewomen who usually have no one in their eyes are honestly walking in the position they should occupy in accordance with the rules at this time.

The frame of the Xiao family walked in front, Xiao Chuyang's wife Cui Shi had already left with the maid first, and Mrs. Lu parked the carriage in front of the stone lion in the palace and waited.

Xiaoxue descended, Xu Buling led the chasing wind and snow out of the gate of the palace, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Mrs. Lu, who was dressed in a dark blue command, leaning against the window of the carriage and looking, her cheeks were not powdered, and the emerald green earrings did not move at all, looking like she was in a daze.

The moon slave held a white oil-paper umbrella to block the falling snow, and slowly stepped forward to salute: "Little prince, be careful of the cold in the snow, get in the car." He raised his hand and took the reins.

The door was blocked, Xu Buling did not make a useless struggle, and after handing over the horse to the moon slave, he jumped into the carriage lightly on the street and entered the warm and gorgeous carriage.

Mrs. Lu closed the window of the carriage, moved her buttocks slightly on the soft couch, and patted the position next to her:

"No, sit here."

The carriage is wide, and there is actually a place for guests to sit next to it, Xu Buling had already sat down, but when he saw this, he could only get up and sit next to Mrs. Lu, and untied the saber and put it on the small case next to him:

"Aunt Lu, why are you in a daze? Got something on your mind? ”

Mrs. Lu leaned lazily on the soft couch, her eyes kept staring at Xu Buling: "What can I do?" My mind is full of you, and I always feel like you've been hiding something from me lately......"

Xu Buling's face stiffened slightly, shook his head and smiled: "Men always have some private matters, and I have a sense of proportion." ”

Mrs. Lu frowned, thought about it, leaned a little closer, and sniffed on Xu Buling's robe.

Xu Buling accepted it calmly, in the past few days, he had contact with women, and when he went home, he first rubbed off a layer of skin, if he could smell it, he would have nothing to say.

Mrs. Lu didn't notice the femininity, her eyes were finally a little more energetic, and she said quietly: "What's the matter with that Song girl?" I heard from people that in the past few days, the girl of the pine festival wine often goes around the palace, and it seems that she still wants to come to the door, hum...... I also went to the Guozijian to inquire, and I heard that you were copying books in the Bell and Drum Tower, and that girl ran there every night......"

This tone of resentment, Xu Buling's scalp was numb, but he couldn't talk nonsense lest Mrs. Lu be even more resentful, so she had to shake her head and chuckle: "I don't want to copy the book and let her help copy it, Songda Sacrificial Wine has always been a strict teacher, how can Miss Song do something insulting." ”

This explanation is very convincing, Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, and did not say more, took out the chess pieces on the second floor of the chessboard from the side, and went to Qujiangchi while talking about the shortcomings of the family......
