On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a heavy snowfall, suddenly, but in two or three hours, it was nearly three feet deep, and the entire Wenxi City was shrouded in a vast white.

The originally noisy city gradually quieted down, and most of the people stayed together, relying on the hot charcoal stove to keep the New Year, and of course there were those who were extremely disgusted with the snow, and for most merchants, because of the snow, tomorrow would surely be another bleak day for business.

Liuyue Lane, in a spacious house, Ying Niang turned over the account book of ten miles drunk, and said to Zhang Xiu'er who was waiting: "Yes, in just two months, it is already difficult to earn so much silver." ”

Zhang Xiu'er smiled, and the beauty mole between her eyebrows was very eye-catching: "Wenxi City is really at the foot of the Son of Heaven, a place where the imperial power and nobles gather, and these two months are equivalent to nearly two or three years of income in Linyuan City!" ”

Ying Niang rubbed her forehead and asked again: "Now that there is Xiangmei watching in the drunken ten miles of Linyuan City, you will stay in Wenxi City to take care of it first, by the way, is there any news from the owner?" ”

When Zhang Xiu'er heard this, she said: "A few days ago, there was news that I should have arrived at the post station in Boyaling, and it is estimated that it will only be these two days." Now that the house has been cleaned up, as soon as the owner arrives, he can live in any yard. And Qingrong, Lanxi, and Chang'an Changshun are all waiting in the house. ”

Sakura nodded with satisfaction: "I don't have to worry about you doing things, everything is ready now, just wait for the owner to arrive, and let Chang'an wait at the gate of the city at dawn tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xiuer listened, agreed one by one, and the two talked about business again, and Zhang Xiuer went back.

In the thirty-third year of Yuan Ling, the first day of the Lunar New Year was the first day of the new year, and everything began to run again. The evil of bad luck was left yesterday, and so was the joy, and from this day onwards, everything had to be recalculated.

Due to the heavy snowfall, there are not many people on the streets, and there are not even a few people who set up stalls every morning.

Chang'an's face was red from the cold, and the whole person curled up, sitting near the city gate, and asked for a bowl of mutton soup.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves at the door, and a luxurious and spacious carriage drove into Wenxi City, and the vendor who was making shortbread couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't this the carriage of King Yong'an!" I finally saw him back for the New Year this year! ”

After drinking a bowl of soup, Chang'an asked for a hot shortbread that had just been made, and couldn't help asking, "Who is King Yong'an?" ”

When the peddler heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "King Yong'an, you don't know, the little brother doesn't seem to be from Wenxi City." He is a blessing to our people. The pillars of Yuan Ling! We have been cared for by him. ”

Chang'an still didn't understand, so he ate the shortbread and continued to wait. It wasn't until nearly noon that two more carriages came to the city gate. Compared to the one just now, these two carriages are too plain.

Chang'an squinted his eyes and saw that the sun was shining brightly on the snow today, and the eyes of people who were shaking hurt brightly.

"Mingsang! Here! Here! ”

Chang'an saw Ming Sang who was driving the car at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned.

When Tang Mingsang saw Chang'an, it was like seeing a friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he missed it very much.

Tang Mingsang reined in his horse and faced the carriageway: "Miss, Chang'an is here to pick us up." ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Come on, I don't know how long I've been waiting, hurry back." lest it freeze to death. ”

So Chang'an and Tang Mingsang each sat on the side of the carriage, chatting and walking towards Liuyue Lane.

Mo Yanxi gently lifted a crack and looked out of the window, brick by brick, even every shop is familiar. Although things are people, some things seem to be engraved in the bones, and they can't be forgotten, such as relatives in their hometown.

Suddenly, a tall gray wall appeared in front of Mo Yanxi, and they could only see the continuous high walls on this road, but they could not see the door of the house. Some of the exposed rooftops have unicorn beasts on them. It is used to ward off evil spirits.

Turn into Chunsheng Street from the main city road, go all the way in, you can see a restaurant in the city - Cidui Lou, go about a mile inside, turn left into the North Alley, there is only one family living here, it is the famous Prime Minister Mo's Mansion today.

The carriage went farther and farther, and the high wall disappeared completely. Among the high walls is the place where Mo Yanxi has lived for more than ten years. It is also the most hated and unforgivable place for her.

The carriage turned into Liuyue Alley, and the doors of the house in front of him gradually increased.

In Wenxi City, dignitaries and nobles, especially those with extraordinary status, generally live in an alley by themselves, and the houses are open and avoid noise. And those with slightly lower official positions, except for those special people who live in the palace, the others are basically in groups of three or five, living together.

In addition, the wealthier merchants will live in Liuyue Lane and Feixing Lane, where the houses are expensive and few, clean, and do not interfere. Basically, I didn't think that every house has its own way, and there will be no friction.

As for the rest of the Pingtou people, most of them lived in the south of the city, which was close to the city gate, which was more suitable for doing some small business, and it was more convenient to go out of the city to farm.

The carriage stopped safely in Liuyue Lane, in front of a house without a plaque. Sakura had already gone back and forth several times in front of the house.

The first to get off the carriage was Xiangxue, who has been practicing martial arts with the wind recently, and her current posture is really decent, and it is not ordinary to look at.

Xiangxue got out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, Mo Yanxi lowered her head, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked down with the soup woman.

Due to the cold weather along the way, Mo Yanxi's ears and nose were red.

Ying Niang hurriedly came up, rubbed Mo Yanxi's hand, and said, "Hurry up and go in, and see what this hand looks like." The charcoal stove in the yard is already burning, and after a few sips of hot wine, slowly. ”

Mo Yanxi saw familiar faces, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, and his heart settled down inexplicably: "It's just that the weather is a little colder, and the journey is smooth, but it's you who is really hard, I came to Wenxi City in a hurry more than three months ago, I was already unfamiliar with life, and I want to get drunk for ten miles, and I have to take care of the house, and I look at it today, I have lost a lot of weight." ”

Sakura Niang smiled: "Where is the hard work, this Wenxi City is so prosperous, the more prosperous the place, the easier it is to do business." Besides, it was easier than imagined that there were people from Linyuan City to help. Two months ago, the two sons of the Su family also helped a lot, and I didn't bother much. ”

Mo Yanxi knew that Ying Niang was introverted, even if it was a big deal, as long as she could resist it, she would not mention it again. One of her daughters' family, in the wolf-like Wenxi City, must have suffered a lot.

Nan Ke on the side rubbed his stinging shoulders and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why don't there be plaques at the door of this house and in the courtyard?" ”

When Sakura heard this, she said, "Keep it, wait for the young lady to come and write the inscription." ”

"It's the same as Linyuan City, only those words can reassure me. And only the people there can really make people feel at ease. ”

Mo Yanxi said, sighed, and instantly felt that his breathing was smooth.

It's been three years, and she finally came back, and before she knew it, she returned to Wenxi City like a nightmare.

"Qingrong and Lanxi have already prepared the meal, this year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they can't afford to lose it."

As soon as he heard about the food, Nan Ke instantly came to his senses: "Great! It's been a toss-up! Wenxi City is so big, so prosperous, there should be a lot of delicious food! I'll take Mingsang out for a walk later. ”

Mo Yanxi listened to it and said with a smile: "You can take it easy, the things in Wenxi City are expensive, just these copper plates on your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy anything." ”

When Nan Ke heard this, he wilted in an instant. Watching everyone open their mouths and want to say something, they can't say it.

Seeing this, Mo Yanxi smiled and said: "Okay, I'll ask Ying Niang to give you fifty taels of silver later, this Wenxi City has the most abundant classics, he likes these the most, you take Mingsang to buy some back." It's no better here than other places, do things calmly, don't have any conflicts, go early and return early. In the evening, we will make dumplings together. ”

When Nan Ke heard this, he ran and jumped with joy.

Everyone else was busy preparing lunch, Mo Yanxi brought a lot of things for everyone, and told Ying Niang to take everyone to see for themselves.

Xiangxue stayed to serve Mo Yanxi to wash and change clothes.

"Later, I will send someone to check the Prime Minister's Mansion, and... Go and find out where Han Jiuye went into the city, I always feel that he is not an ordinary person. ”

Mo Yanxi poured himself a cup of fragrant tea and drank it, and commanded Xiangxue.

A few days ago, Feng Qifan specially trained a group of martial arts masters for Mo Yanxi, and asked her to carry them with her, just in case.

Now Huawanglou is just getting on the right track, and there are many things to be busy. Feng Qi Fan has no way to follow Mo Yanxi, although there is a Xiangxue who has achieved a small amount of martial arts by his side, but if he meets a real master, he has no power to fight back.

Xiangxue nodded, and then said with a determined gaze: "Miss, we will definitely avenge our aunt and them, right?" ”

Mo Yanxi looked in the direction of the door, everything three years ago was still turning back in her mind, and in her dreams every night, she could always dream of everyone in the Incense Garden. Familiar figures eventually became fragments.

Mo Yanxi touched the Bodhi root bracelet on his left hand, and replied resolutely: "Of course it will, since I am back, then they don't want to sleep peacefully." ”

At noon, the ice and snow gradually smiled, and the streets and alleys were lively again. Crowded with people, so lively.

In the Zhihe Palace, the queen looked at Yuan Yichen with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but tease: "Look at your anxious appearance, where is there still a little bit of stability, and I am not afraid of Gonggong Xu's jokes." ”

Xu Gonggong heard this. hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty hasn't been so happy for a long time, and the old slave is also anxious, didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Ninth has already entered the palace?" Why can't you see it! ”

Yuan Yichen smiled even more, and asked rhetorically: "Xin'er, are you unhappy?" Not in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, what is that person doing here? I've heard that every time that kid comes back, he brings you good things, and he thinks of you as his own sister! ”

"It's not my own sister, how can anyone not want to be my brother."

The queen smiled and talked, and there was peace in the hall.
