The Chinese New Year is coming, and the family is reunited. The Spring Festival is an ancient and solemn festival. Therefore, a month ago, many large families were preparing New Year's items early. If it were usual, the Shao Mansion would be full of lights, red candles and high fever, and the mansion would be decorated with festive and luxurious. It's a pity that due to the death of the old man in the family this year, according to custom, no couplets will be posted for three years, and relatives will not be left. This Spring Festival is destined to be simple and lonely.

Shao An was very lucky, fortunately, he had a reason to keep filial piety and pushed away the annoying entertainment. Otherwise, these Qin Huai officials would not have to break the door of Shao Mansion?

As for the family, Shao An's brothers and his mother-in-law avoided them one by one because they were afraid of revenge for the old incident. Shao An only needs to sit in the courtyard every day to read and write, and he is happy.

The days pass by like a white horse, in a flash. At the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, Shao An and these brothers had to meet.

It's a family banquet, but it's just a gathering of a few people. After Master Shao separated and lived alone, Shao Mansion only had a wife Zhang, and there were no concubines. And there are only three children born to Zhang, plus Shao An.

Seeing that everyone was here, Master Shao behaved like a loving father, and said with a pleasant face: "Come on, come on, it's rare for a family to get together, let's sit down." ”

It should be orderly for the young and the old, but the descendants are different. But Shao An is different now, even if he is the only concubine, others dare not grab a seat with him. Therefore, the seat next to his father was vacated and reserved for Shao An.

Shao An didn't refuse, and sat down next to his father.

The boss Shao Fu sat at the dining table with bated breath, slightly restrained, just staring at the table. The second Shao Gui was not as afraid as his brother, his small eyes were spinning around, and he looked at Shao An quietly. The fourth Shao Kang is still a teenager, and he doesn't know anything about the past grievances, so he is the only one who dares to raise his head and smile and look directly at the world-famous prime minister in front of him.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the dinner was depressing, Master Shao greeted: "Third child, I haven't been home for so long, I don't know." The eldest has added another boy, both of whom are two years old. ”

"Really? Congratulations. Shao An said hello without being salty.

Master Shao continued with a smile: "Your brothers have already married wives and had children, the third child, your life's major events should also be considered." ”

"My grandfather died, and as a grandson, I should keep filial piety, and I will talk about it in three years." Shao An blocked back with a word.

Master Shao tugged at his lips, "Alas, this matter has delayed you in vain." ”

Shao An didn't want to continue this topic, and after looking around, he asked, "Why don't you see your wife and two sisters-in-law?" ”

"Women's families, how can they be on the stage."

Shao An sneered, it seems that in the past few years, his father's status in the family has improved, and he has finally taken off his reputation as a fearful person and raised his eyebrows.

Master Shao babbled and gossiped about it, nothing more than how some relatives and friends were. Then he pointed to the youngest boy, "Your brother, Kang'er." When I first entered school, I was really the same as you were back then, I only loved to read, and I couldn't be a businessman. ”

Shao An heard what he said, and looked at his youngest brother carefully, and he grew taller than the last time they met. In fact, he didn't have a deep impression of this younger brother, he always remembered that he was a chubby child, and he was so old in a blink of an eye.

"I always told him to study hard and take the exam like my brother. In the future, you can also help one or two. Master Shao said as he peeked at Shao An's reaction.

And Shao An's reaction was no response, fiddling with his teeth, and he didn't know if he heard it. Master Shao pulled him and whispered: "It is said that brothers are brothers in battle, and fathers and sons are soldiers in battle." You are alone in the court, how can you succeed without the support of your family? ”

Shao Anxin slandered, rather than relying on the support of such an unreliable family, it is better not to have it. He said: "He is still young, so he focuses on reading first." Wait for the future study, or the imperial examination, or grace, you can do it. ”

Everyone present was tired from eating a meal, but at least on the surface, it seemed to be happy, and Master Shao was quite satisfied with it. Everyone was full of food and drink, and just as they were about to mention the spirit of keeping the year, the housekeeper hurried over, saying that a man had come to visit and wanted to see the third young master.

Everyone was stunned, this is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are people who do not reunite with their families and come to the door in a hurry?

"There may be something urgent, I'll take a look." Shao An apologized and walked quickly to the side hall, intending to meet this strange man for a while.

I didn't think that the person who came was Feng Che.

Shao An saw that it was him, and his heart moved, it seemed that something was finally going to come to light.

"Shao Xiang." When Feng Che saw Shao An coming, he hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Shao An squinted at the person in front of him, only to see that he was dressed in a gray cloth robe, with a little dust on his sleeves, and a few strands of hair hanging down from the corners of his forehead and scattered around his ears.

I didn't expect Feng Che, who has always been strict and dignified, to be so embarrassed. Shao An was taken aback, hurriedly pulled him into a seat, and asked, "Why don't you go home to reunite with your relatives during the Chinese New Year, but come here instead?" ”

"Xia Guan has wanted to come for a long time, but unfortunately the case is too hard, and only during the Chinese New Year can I find time to come here." Feng Che bowed again, "It's just to disturb Shao Xiang, the family is reunited." ”

Shao An waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just that during the Ding worry, it's inconvenient to see outsiders." ”

"At this critical moment, Shao Xiang, you actually want to worry about Ding?" Feng Che was so anxious that he didn't know how to speak.

When Shao An heard this, he looked at Feng Che with interest, "This is not like what you would say. ”

"Xia Guan is not those sour Confucians, pedantic, regardless of priority."

"You gave you the axe?" Shao An really didn't expect that a righteous gentleman like Feng Che would do such a thing.

Feng Che admitted: "Xia Guan didn't want to hide his identity, and the prime minister didn't recognize Xia Guan's handwriting? ”

"It looks familiar, and I don't remember who it is for a while."

"It's confidential, it's a last resort. Presumably, with Shao Xiang's intelligence, he will definitely be able to understand the meaning of the lower official. ”

"Candle Shadow Axe, do you want to say that King Jin rebelled?" On that day, the study caught fire, and Shao An looked at the huge projection of the candlestick and the axe, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Combined with the chance encounter with the King of Jin in the south of the city, it is clear that the gift giver is using the allusion of Song Taizong, alluding to the rebellion of the King of Jin.

"Exactly." Feng Che is serious.

Although he guessed the deep meaning, Shao An didn't believe that King Jin would rebel at all, so he laughed and said, "Nonsense." ”

"The prime minister can guess that he should have been to the south of the city and met the prince of Jin. Here's the proof. ”

"I know him, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and he wouldn't have the heart to usurp."

"Xia Guan knows that you are friendly with King Jin and don't want to believe this fact. But people's hearts will change, he has been away from Beijing for five years, but he doesn't know that he didn't have the idea of seizing the throne? ”

"If you think that the King of Jin is rebelling, you can just play the Holy Saint directly. Why bother telling me? Shao An asked, "Is it because you are afraid of causing trouble?" ”

The officials involved in the rebellion of the Heavenly Family in the past generations have always been more auspicious and less lucky. After all, officials are courtiers, and it is extremely dangerous to involve royal affairs as a subordinate. If the King of Jin did not rebel and participated in the impeachment as a fake, it would be a discord between the brothers of the Heavenly Family, and they would be demoted from their posts at least and even the nine clans at worst. Even if the King of Jin really rebelled, and the emperor killed his brother, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not anger the whistleblower afterwards.

Feng Che said righteously: "The lower officials are not afraid of death, why are they afraid of others?" It's just that after listening to it, Long Yan will be furious. The two armies fought, and the lives were devastated, but the people suffered. ”

Shao An was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said with a wry smile: "But what is the use of telling me?" ”

"According to the investigation of the lower officials, the prince of Jin was deceived by others, so he would do such a rebellious thing. The reason why Xia Guan told the prime minister was that he hoped that you would persuade him. Feng Che said bitterly, "Prime Minister, it has been delayed for a few days now, and if it drags on, I'm afraid they will really have trouble." By then, it will be too late to regret it. ”

"So, you want me to ......"

"Go to Hangzhou and see King Jin." Feng Che said firmly word by word.

Brilliant fireworks suddenly burst into the sky, and it was midnight, the turn of the new year. Shao An turned his head and looked out the window at the dazzling flowers, such as smoke, snow, fire, trees, and silver flowers.

Looking at the fireworks in the sky, the night sky is decorated like a sea of flowers, stunning and bright, and the black moonlit night shines like day. However, Shao An's heart is like a barren wilderness in the prosperity of this prosperous era.

King Jin said: "Actually, I know in my heart who is really good to me. ”

King Jin asked, "Me and Fifth Brother, who do you choose?" ”

These bits and pieces of words echoed in Shao An's ears repeatedly, and he only thought that King Jin was jealous and jealous. Now that I think about it, it has a lot of meaning.

"Good!" Shao An nodded, "I'll go to Hangzhou with you." ”
