In a chic garden in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a heavy dragon incense was burning, and Mo Youxi was holding a small jade bucket in his hand, gently rummaging the incense ashes on the table.

Suddenly, there was a sound of broken footsteps at the door, and it was the most important girl in the Youxiang Garden, Herui, who came in.

"Miss, the lord is back, I heard that today in the Qinzheng Palace, there was some conflict between His Majesty and the prince of the Guogong Mansion."

Mo Youxi did not stop the movements in his hand, and carefully smoothed the incense ash into the small brocade box prepared on the side.

"What did that Song Wen do when he chased Yuan Ling, can you find out?"

"I inquired, I heard that Song Wenchai brought a rare treasure red tassel, and what he wanted in exchange for was Li Mengyao, the princess of the Guogong Mansion."

Mo Youxi listened to it and chuckled: "Li Chengming's mind is simple, he can only see Xiaoli Xiaohui in front of him, Song Wen chased here, the purpose is in the Guogong Mansion, this is clearly and secretly to distract Yuan Ling's military and civilian hearts, it seems that Emperor Mingwu is not simple." It's just a pity that this Li Mengyao Zhi is not here, she's not simple. The spirit is higher than the sky. It's much better than her father. Look, Yuan Ling is afraid that the sky is about to change, let's just wait. ”

Winter is always longer at other times. After Song Wenchai's birthday was over, he returned to Zhaoyuan Kingdom, and under Yuan Huaisheng's "strong recommendation", he finally took away a piece of Xuantie Sword from a foreign land in the treasury.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and this Yen Yichen is looking at the palace's purchase of the New Year's Pass in the Zhihe Palace.

Gonggong Xu was waiting on the side, because the pill was renewed recently, Yuan Yichen finally got up when he saw it, and even had the energy to shoot arrows and play chess with Yuan Huaisheng.

"Father-in-law Xu, you said that in addition to the state banquet this New Year, do you want to hold another home banquet, counting, Huaisheng and I haven't spent the New Year together for a long time. Be sure to have a few drinks with him this time. ”

When Gonggong Xu heard this, he bowed his head and said nothing, looking at Yuan Yichen from time to time.

After a while, Yuan Yichen suddenly noticed that something was wrong, put down the wolf hair stained with cinnabar in his hand, and asked, "Anyway, I haven't seen that kid for a few days?" Could it be that the palace was established and the palace was not a home? ”

When Gonggong Xu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has really wronged the Ninth Master, think about it carefully, every time the prince comes back, he doesn't stay in the palace and doesn't leave, either talking to you, or going to the queen's mother to beg for food, where do you remember that you still have a mansion outside the palace, as for Your Majesty who feels that he hasn't seen the prince for many days, that's because he has left a few days ago." ”

When Yuan Yichen heard this, his face changed instantly, and he asked loudly: "Left?!" Where did he go, and how come no one ever told me? Father-in-law Xu, do you know about this? ”

Gonggong Xu pursed his mouth and quickly knelt down: "When the prince left, he drank tea with the old slave, and specially told the old slave not to tell His Majesty, and the prince said that if His Majesty knew, he would definitely not let him go." The divine doctor who healed you said that this red tassel is extremely precious, Your Majesty must drink enough nine hundred and eighty-one red tassels, this disease can be cured, everything is related to your physical health, and the old slave has to listen to it! ”

When Yuan Yichen heard this, he gradually loosened his clenched fist, how could he not know this, over the years, Yuan Huaisheng has rarely returned to Wenxicheng, and has been floating all over the world. Every time he thinks of this, Yuan Yichen feels that he is useless, this miserable body, I don't know how many people have been harmed.

"This guy, so long wait for Chinese New Year's Eve to leave, I can't afford to wait."

There was silence in the Zhihe Palace, and there were no relatives around, so I felt bored about any festival.

The Su Mansion in Lucheng City has been dressed up for festivity, red lanterns are hung everywhere in the house, and Su Changqing sent people to bring fireworks early. Just wait for Chinese New Year's Eve to be lively.

Nan Ke leaned against the window and sipped melon seeds, and saw Ming Sang and some small servants busy decorating, and sighed violently: "Although this is that Lucheng is very prosperous, I always feel that it is only tasteful to spend the New Year in my own home in Linyuan City." ”

Everyone in the room was not idle, Xiangxue peeled chestnuts, the wind fanned walnuts, Mo Yanxi sat on a chair and chose vegetables, preparing to make a dumpling for himself tonight.

Hearing this, Mo Yanxi couldn't help laughing and said: "If you can say this, you will be at home to the Mo Mansion, but as long as we are together, no matter where we spend the New Year, we will definitely be happy." ”

When Nan Ke heard this, he suddenly felt that the melon seeds in his hand had no taste, closed the window, walked to Mo Yanxi and sat down: "I used to feel that there was a place to go when I had a home, but now that I have a home, my heart is not firm, I always feel as if I am worried, I am dragged and I am not able to walk." ”

"Concern, it's good."

Feng Qifan heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but talk to himself, and before he knew it, there was a pile of walnuts accumulated on this table.

Half an hour later, a figure floated in the courtyard of the Rinyue Courtyard, the wind blinked, calmly picked up a piece of walnut shell from the table and threw it out.

Su Changfeng walked swaggeringly, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly caught the foreign object flying in the air, and then... With a red face, he covered his hands and grinned in pain.

"I said good man, can you not sneak attack me at every turn, compared to you, one is in the sky and the other is underground. It was enough to send me flying far. Don't embarrass me next time. ”

Su Changfeng said as he entered the door.

"Yo! Isn't this the second son of Su? Why are you so embarrassed, it's a pity for your handsome face. Looking at people on weekdays, how can I not stand the teasing. ”

Seeing Su Changfeng like this, Nan Ke was overjoyed, and hurriedly said a few words.

Su Changfeng pouted and quickly stood upright: "Big brother said that the Xu family will come to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us tonight." Don't forget, you have to come. ”

Mo Yanxi heard this, and couldn't help but wonder: "I heard that the old man of the Xu family is still alive, why don't they celebrate the New Year at home?" ”

Speaking of the Xu family, Su Changfeng was full of impatience: "The old man of their family has not celebrated the New Year in the Xu family for many years, I heard that he is cultivating immortals on which mountain, so as not to let outsiders disturb him." At first, Uncle Xu would go to invite, but every time he was driven back, over time, Uncle Xu dispelled his thoughts and stopped going. And they are all people in the martial arts, very bold, not so particular, seeing that we are helpless in Cilu City, this is why they said that they came to our house to have fun together. It's also more lively. ”

Mo Yanxi saw that Su Changfeng's expression was not good, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Since it is from the Xu family, presumably the head of the family will definitely not let his own kid be at home alone, and will definitely bring it over." ”

Su Changfeng really looked gloomy, and replied with a wrinkled face: "Come on!" Who has the master been afraid of? Even if the king of heaven is here today, he has to give way to me! ”

After speaking, seeing everyone in the room holding back a smile, he blinked his eyes and coughed lightly: "What kind of expression do you have?" Don't you believe me? Anyway, if he dares to come, I will definitely want him to look good! ”

Su Changfeng said, seeing that Nan Ke didn't care at all, he took care of himself and ate melon seeds seriously, and hurriedly asked: "There are still some snacks in the house, and my eldest brother told me to go to the street to buy some and come back." Are you going or not? ”

As soon as Nan Ke heard the food, even his eyes brightened a little, and he nodded: "Go and go!" Of course, a few days ago, Mingsang took me to Zhenxinfang, their dim sum is soft and delicate, especially delicious, why don't we go there? ”

When Su Changfeng heard this, the gloom on his face swept away, and he couldn't help but smile: "Naturally, you can go wherever you go, I don't know much about these, and I have to be the palm of Miss Nanke." ”

Nan Ke got up and jumped to the door, only to be discouraged again for a moment: "I... But I don't have any money, and last month's monthly money has been spent, so I will have silver tomorrow. ”

Nan Ke lowered his head and underestimated in a low voice, looking like a bullied little lady.

Mo Yanxi shook his head and was about to take the money.

Suddenly, Su Changfeng shouted loudly: "What did I think, isn't it silver!" What I have is that you let go of eating. Let's go, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I'm afraid that there won't even be any dim sum residue left in Zhenxin Fang a little later. ”

When I first arrived, it was already completely dark, and it had snowed a few days ago, and because I had not seen the sun for many days, there was still snow on it.

The Su Mansion is bright inside and out, although it is in Lucheng, but everything is still in accordance with the customs of the east. Even the dishes are divided into two halves, some of which are made from the western and some from the east.

I heard that the ancestors of the Xu family have been passed down for three generations, and they are all good wine. Su Changqing sent someone to Hejing Town a few days ago to collect his aged daughter Hongbei from door to door.

Everything was ready, and Mo Yanxi followed the Su family brothers and waited at the door early.

The climate in Lucheng was humid, and in winter, the evil wind easily penetrated the clothes, reaching the skin and bones, and after waiting for a while, Mo Yanxi's hands were already cold.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves was heard at the entrance of the alley. In just a moment, two spacious carriages stopped at the door of Su's house.

Mo Yanxi and the others went out of the gate and waited by the carriage.

"It's just to have a meal, happy and happy, it's cold, why are you waiting at the door, you two have rough skin and thick meat, and Miss Mo has fine skin and tender meat, so she doesn't freeze when she looks at it, so she can't come out."

With a burst of hearty laughter, Xu Zili quickly got out of the carriage, because of the New Year, Xu Zili was dressed festively, and he looked a lot more rich and noble.

Mo Yanxi saluted with the Su family brothers, and then said: "It is already a great honor for the elders to come to the juniors' house for the New Year, although it is not the main family, but there is absolutely no matter waiting for the elders to come to the door by themselves." ”

While a few people were talking, the second carriage also stopped, and as expected, out of it was Mrs. Xu, who had bright eyes and kind eyes. Between the curtain of the car was raised, there seemed to be another figure.

The last bony hand pulled the curtain open, revealing his true face.

Su Changqing, Mo Yanxi and Feng Qifan were stunned at the same time, this son turned out to be Xu Ruojin.
