In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

After Xiang Yan got up early in the morning, she stuffed Kou Tianci into Kou Ji's arms, and then busily got to work.

Reward the servants, distribute the happy money, send the servants back to their hometowns, and prepare gifts for visiting the first and second days of the new year.

Xiang Yan was busy from morning to noon, and then stopped.

After eating a little bit of food, I started to get busy again.

She took the cook lady and cooked herself, helping Kou Ji prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Although Kou Ji is the only one who keeps the New Year in the mansion, Kou Ji is also a person with status, and it is impossible to simply eat one or two dishes.

Seven plates, eight bowls, three basins, one bucket and twelve spoons.

In the plate are cold cuts and dried fruits, in the bowl are stewed vegetables, the pot is filled with bear's paws, fresh soup, a bucket mixed with cooked and stuffy rice, and twelve large spoons are fried to make dozens of dishes, making up eighty-one.

Xiang Yan was busy until the evening before preparing all the dishes.

After Kou Zhun cooked the dishes to Xiang Yan, he and Kou Zhong appeared in the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

The family accompanied Kou Ji to eat a little and talk.

Kou Zhun, Xiang Yan, and Kou Tianci changed into robes and went to the palace.

Before leaving, Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji with some reluctance.

Kou Jian said with great disdain: "He brought it all on himself, you don't have to pity him." ”

Kou Ji just lowered his head and rolled his eyes, but did not speak.

Kou Zhun is now in front of people, and he will be counted down when he has the opportunity, he is used to it.

Most elders are like this, after seeing the achievements of the juniors, they like to count one or two in front of others, the purpose is to be afraid that the tails of the juniors will be too high, and they will be proud and complacent.

There are good and bad moves, depending on the suitability.

Kou Ji was a human being in two lifetimes, and the combined ages of the two lives were only seven or eight years younger than Kou Zhun.

His mind is very mature.

Whether Kou Zhun praised him or counted him down, he didn't feel much.

Kou Ji watched Kou Zhun and the three of them leave the mansion.

He returned to the dining room of the mansion alone, and without looking at the sumptuous meals on the table, he just took two jugs of wine and carried them to the pavilion in the backyard.

In the pavilion, Kou Ji spread a thick blanket, lit a pot of frost charcoal, put down the bamboo curtains on all sides of the pavilion, lay on the blanket on his side, and poured himself a drink.

It didn't take long for me to get a little drunk.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

Don't look at Kou Ji's giggling, he is actually not at peace in his heart.

When others are isolated, they are alone.

And he is a lonely ghost.

The feeling of being a lonely ghost is not pleasant.

"Hoo ......"

Kou Ji exhaled and went to fetch the hot flask by the brazier, but he felt empty.

After being stunned for a moment, Kou Ji laughed out loud, "I'm not alone...... There is also a gentleman on the beam to accompany me......"

Kou Ji sniffed the wine and looked at the corner of the pavilion, and laughed in a low voice, "When did you learn to drink?" ”

In the gazebo, in that dimly lit corner, there was no sound.

Kou Ji didn't ask any more.

I got up and went to the dining room, took two jugs of wine and two plates of cold dishes, and returned to the gazebo.

Kou Ji put a pot of wine and a plate of cold dishes on the table in the middle of the pavilion, and took another pot of wine and a plate of cold dishes, returned to the blanket and sat down, and poured himself a drink.

After drinking two sips of wine, the sound of artillery battles in Bianjing City sounded one after another.

"The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year...... Chinese New Year is full of ......"

Kou Ji smiled under his breath and took another drink from his glass.

The sound of scratching the door in a hurry sounded when the sound of firecrackers stopped for a while, Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and muttered: "There is a guest?" ”

Kou Ji got up, walked to the side door not far from the pavilion, opened the door, one big and one small, and without waiting for Kou Ji's invitation, he brutally climbed into the backyard.

The big one went into the backyard and went straight to the bamboo forest planted in the backyard.

The small one followed the big figure and crawled for a while.

I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly stopped, turned around and crawled in front of Kou Ji, and raised my head to Kou Ji.

If it weren't for the little starry light in his dark eyes, Kou Ji wouldn't have known that the little guy was looking at him.

Kou Ji picked up the little guy casually, let the little guy face him, and said with a smile: "If you are a few days longer, I won't be able to hold you." ”

The little guy unceremoniously stretched out his paws, grabbed Kou Ji's arm, and rubbed his head against Kou Ji's clothes.

Kou Ji hugged the little one, went to the gazebo, and put the little one on the blanket in the gazebo.

He hadn't seen the little guy in a long time.

The little guy is a beast of prey, and after washing on weekdays, he quickly gets dirty, so Xiang Yan doesn't allow it to appear in the backyard again.

I'm afraid that the little guy will be suddenly stimulated, and he will hurt people and hurt Kou Tianci.

Second, I am afraid that the little guy will be dirty, and Kou Tianci will follow in the future.

Kou Ji wasn't sure if the little guy would hurt anyone, so he had to move their mother and son out of the backyard and place them in a small bamboo garden on the edge of the backyard.

However, I don't know if the little guy likes to be popular after staying with people for a long time, or thinks that the bamboo in the backyard is more delicious than the bamboo in the small bamboo garden, and often sneaks over to the bamboo forest in the backyard with his mother.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Kou Ji didn't bother to care, and let the little one's mother do the trouble.

The little guy was familiar with the smell of Kou Ji, so he stayed by Kou Ji's side for a long time.

It wasn't until he was hungry that he went to the Disaster Bamboo Forest with his mother.

While drinking, Kou Ji looked at the mother and son with a smile and the two beasts, where did they cause trouble to the small bamboo forest.

"The fourth brother is so Yaxing......"

A thick sigh sounded behind Kou Ji, and Kou Ji's body shook slightly, but he didn't get up, but turned his head and looked at the figure who spoke.

"Why don't you stay in the palace and run to my house?"

The figure walked to Kou Ji's side with his servants, sighed, and said, "How could I really let you be left alone. ”

Zhao Zhen was dressed in civilian clothes, entered the gazebo, and sat opposite Kou Ji very freely.

Chen Lin, who was following behind Zhao Zhen, had the intention to remind Zhao Zhen that it was cold on the ground, but he did not speak.

After Zhao Zhen sat down, he instructed Chen Lin and the others: "Put down the things, and the people will withdraw." ”

Chen Lin took the palace ladies and rearranged the gazebo.

After putting down a lot of food and cups, I walked out of the backyard.

Chen Lin took two steps, and a very inconspicuous person suddenly came to Chen Lin's side and whispered.

Chen Lin paused and returned to the pavilion.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said with a little doubt: "Something?" ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and didn't speak, just glanced at the corner of the pavilion.

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "He won't hurt the official family." ”

Chen Lin stood there, ignoring Kou Ji, just staring at Zhao Zhen silently.

Zhao Zhen roughly guessed that there was someone in the corner of the pavilion, and he also roughly guessed who it was.

Zhao Zhen said to Chen Lin: "Since the fourth brother said that he would not hurt me, then he would not hurt me." ”

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally left the pavilion in Zhao Zhen's dissatisfied cold snort.

After Chen Lin left, Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and the person who would never want to appear in front of people were left in the pavilion.

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen, and said with a somewhat complicated gaze: "What are you doing in my house?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently: "Accompany you to keep the New Year." ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, "You first summoned all my family members into the palace, and then came here to accompany me to keep the New Year, what do you want?" ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I just want the fourth brother to taste the same feeling." ”

Kou Ji frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "It is not easy for me and the fourth brother to get along, and I am just a brother and friend like you." You are in the court, and you can still have someone to talk to me about the truth.

If you weren't in the court, I would be alone.

I just want you to taste what it's like to be alone.

I just want you to know how uncomfortable I feel when you leave the court. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said in a heavy voice: "Lonely, too lonely, I don't like it." ”

Zhao Zhen's words, Kou Ji can understand, even far deeper than Zhao Zhen.

Before Kou Tianci was born, he was a lonely ghost wandering in the Great Song Dynasty, and only he knew how lonely he was in his heart.

Don't look at him giggling all day long, in fact, his soul has nowhere to put it, and his heart has never been settled.

It wasn't until Kou Tianci was born that his soul had a place to rest, and his heart was settled.

Kou Ji sighed slightly and said, "I only left the court temporarily, and I didn't leave Bianjing City. Besides, I'm angry at the crown, and it's also for your country. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said very seriously: "My country, I don't need you to pay the price. When I really have to pay the price, I don't hesitate at all.

The Wei Wangfu is just one line, and it only takes one reason to kill them.

I don't lack reasons to kill people, so you shouldn't focus on your career. ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Aren't I afraid that you won't be ruthless?" ”

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "My own uncle died in front of me, and I didn't feel too sad. It's just a bunch of cousins and nephews, and I will never be soft when I kill them.

If they are bent on the welfare of the Great Song Dynasty, I may be able to be tolerant of them.

But they are simply the scourge of my Great Song Dynasty.

Since entering Bianjing, he has done hundreds of things to bully men and women and forcibly seize other people's money.

When I open my eyes every day, I am either harming the people of my Great Song Dynasty, or on the way to harm the people.

What is the use of keeping them?

Discrediting the Royals? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen was slightly angry, "The government and the opposition, one is counted as one, and they are all contributing to the rise of my Great Song Dynasty and seeking benefits for my Zhao family." It's just that my Zhao family not only didn't make a contribution, but also caused trouble in the back.

Why should I keep them rich?

The greedy martial artists still know that in addition to being greedy for money, they will add bricks and tiles to my Great Song Dynasty.

However, the people in the royal family are only greedy for money and do not add bricks and tiles.

I don't contribute to my own foundation, why do I keep them?

Do you want to keep it for the New Year?

When Li Di cleaned up the court, he deliberately avoided the people in the royal family, which made me see how greedy and domineering the people in the royal family were.

Now that I have seen their ugly faces clearly, I naturally will not be polite to them. ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "What's more, they have something to do with Zhang's death." I will not show mercy to them. ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen with a little puzzlement and said, "Have you found out?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "No...... But before the Zhang family died, someone proposed to let them enter Beijing, and it would be strange if there was no cat greasy. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "This matter is just speculation, don't say it to avoid causing unnecessary trouble." ”

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "I'm not stupid. ”

Kou Jiba pursed his mouth, ate the food sent by Zhao Zhen, and said: "You invited the civil and military envoys of the Manchu Dynasty and all the envoys into the palace, but you left them and fled, aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you afterwards?" ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is a feast.

Even the somewhat absurd True Sect Zhao Heng did not dare to be absent during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

Zhao Zhen left everyone behind and sneaked out of the palace, you can imagine how big the impact behind it is.

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "I have rewarded what should be rewarded, and I have also given what should be given." I stayed in the palace just to accompany a smiling face and watch them drink and play.

Chinese New Year's Eve is every year, and it is not bad this year.

The Manchu civil and military want to be impeached? ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and said disdainfully: "Do they dare?" ”

When Kou Ji heard Zhao Zhen's words, he sighed with emotion: "The official family is now becoming more and more powerful. But even so, there are still people in the court who are afraid of you. ”

Zhao Zhen pouted and said, "Wang Zeng and Lu Yi briefly talked, just let them go." Since I was a child, I have heard countless admonitions and admonitions, and this time is not bad.

I'm ridiculous occasionally, and they should be happy.

If I keep a straight face, you see the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who can laugh out loud. ”

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the things in the court for the time being." Tonight is just you and me, and we should drink well and have a long talk. ”

Kou Ji shook his head, "It's right that you are alone, I can't afford to be a lonely person, I'm just a lonely ghost." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't mean to go into detail, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, the two of us are two poor people, we should hug each other to keep warm." The others don't talk about him. ”

"Drinking, drinking, drinking, ......"

Zhao Zhen was rarely free and easy, dragging Kou Ji to eat and drink together.

Gradually, the two of them drank a little drunk.

Sitting in a gazebo and talking nonsense.

Zhao Zhen's wine is not good, and it is probably the first time in his life that he is drunk, and he dares to say anything when he is drunk.

He pulled Kou Ji hard, and he had to give up the throne to Kou Ji.

said that he was too soft-hearted to be an emperor.

said that he was afraid of loneliness and did not want to be an emperor.

said that his biggest dream is to be an old farmer, working at sunrise and sunset every day, and not thinking about those intriguing troubles.

Although Kou Ji was also a little drunk, he was a little sensible, lying on the blanket and pretending to be dead for most of the night, but he didn't dare to reply.

Thanks to him, he is Zhao Zhen.

If he were Zhu Yuanzhang, Kou Ji felt that he should use his belt to drop himself on the beam of the house before he sobered up, and maybe after he woke up, he would let his family go when he saw that he was so knowledgeable.
