Xilingyue remembered that several of the feudal towns that were dismantled from the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" were in the central and southern regions, which happened to overlap with the semicolon of Jinxiuzhuang. Thinking of this, she gradually became worried in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "If you can, you can write to your father in the next year and ask him to withdraw the shops in Hunan and Jiangxi." ”

"Jiangxi, Hunan ......" Xiao Yi repeated in a low voice, and the melancholy between his eyebrows became even stronger.

"Jing Nan...... Withdraw too. Xilingyue hesitated and said.

Xiao Yi looked up at her suddenly, his eyes tightened, and his handsome face was heavy: "Yue'er, Jingnan is the second life of Jinxiuzhuang, except for Xichuan, Jingnan has the most revenue!" ”

"I know." Xiling Yue fiddled with the bed sheet irritably.

"Are you really sure there's something wrong with Jing Nan?" Xiao Yi asked again, and even reminded, "This is not child's play, once you withdraw, it will be difficult to go back." ”

Xiling Yue is reluctant, she has been in contact with all kinds of silk since she can remember, she began to touch the abacus at the age of ten, read the account books of Jinxiuzhuang at the age of twelve, and has taken care of half of Xichuan's business at the age of fifteen. She knows the situation of Jinxiuzhuang better than Xiao Yi, Jingnan is a place where the Xiao family has been operating for fifty or sixty years, and the results are extraordinary, and once they withdraw, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But the tragic consequences of Liu Pi's rebellion are just around the corner: his father-in-law was imprisoned, Xiao's family was raided, Jinxiuzhuang was shut down, and Xiao Yi was forced to marry...... These lessons are vivid, how she is not afraid, she can no longer let the Xiao family repeat the mistakes of the past!

Thinking of this, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Withdraw!" Get out first! When the situation is stable, I will go to ask the Holy God again, and I will definitely let Jinxiuzhuang go back again! ”

Xiao Yi stared at her for a long time, seemed to accept this fact, and his tone became lighter: "Okay, I know." ”

As soon as the two finished speaking, Atsui and Adan were already knocking on the door outside, one holding the sobering medicine and the other holding the sweet soup.

Guo Zhongting's voice also came at the right time: "No need to knock on the door, just go in." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door in a big way, Sister Hua followed behind him, and the three of them walked quickly to Xiling Yue's couch, as if they were afraid that she would be eaten by Xiao Yi if she was one step too late.

Xiling Yue was pretending to be drunk, so she naturally didn't want to drink the sobering soup, but drank the sweet soup cleanly, relieving the medicinal taste and wine smell in her mouth.

"Dangdang-" The bell rang at this time, and the ceremonial music and bells and drums rang together in Chang'an City, indicating that the third year of Yuanhe had arrived. Bursts of cheers spread to all corners of the city, and even the eldest princess's mansion lit firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Guo Zhongting hurriedly urged her: "Have you finished drinking?" When you have finished drinking, get up, and go to your father and mother. ”

Xilingyue almost forgot about it, hurriedly put down the soup bowl, got up and dressed, and went to see the eldest princess and his wife with Guo Zhongting and Xiao Yi.

"May my parents be blessed and celebrate their birthdays." Xilingyue and Guo Zhongting bowed first.

The eldest princess looked at a pair of children and smiled kindly: "Okay, good, get up quickly." Mother's wish this year is very simple, and she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday, as long as she can solve the lifelong events of the two of you, her mother will be satisfied. ”

Xi Lingyue and Guo Zhongting didn't answer, they only smiled perfunctorily, and got up in the weakness of the eldest princess and his wife.

Xiao Yi's identity is relatively special, and he bowed alone: "May the eldest princess and Guo Juma be happy and new, and have a long life." ”

"Hurry up." Guo Yan actually admired Xiao Yi very much, and smiled at him, "You have worked hard for you in the past few months, curing my foot paralysis, and you are really a miracle doctor." ”

Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "This is what juniors should do." ”

The eldest princess also smiled: "It is indeed a miracle doctor, Yue'er is still unconscious, but after your treatment, not only did she wake up, but she also spoke neatly." ”

Xiao Yi still kept smiling, and his face did not change.

Xilingyue was unhappy when she heard this, and it was not good to be in Yuan

lost his temper, but fortunately, Guo Jun got up at the right time and beckoned a few people to go to the courtyard to hang flags and pray for blessings, so as not to make the atmosphere embarrassing.

"Okay, your children's family doesn't have to keep the New Year's Eve, let's go back and rest, and we will have to 'pass the seat' tomorrow morning." After hanging the flag, Guo Yan said again.

The three of them were ordered to retire and rest.

Xiling Yue slept until dawn. Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers in the city woke her up, she lazily got out of the bedding, freshened up and changed clothes, and went with the eldest princess and Guo Zhongting to change peach charms and stick to the door god.

Guo Yan had already entered the palace at this time. The Yuan Dynasty will be an annual event in the palace, the civil and military officials in Chang'an, the local festival envoys, and the observation envoys will meet the Son of Heaven on the Yuan Day, and even the border prefectures and surrounding vassal states will also send envoys to the court to congratulate the Son of Heaven on the New Year, and wish the Tang Dynasty peace and peace in the new year.

In order to show compassion, the Son of Heaven will leave hundreds of officials and envoys to enjoy a sumptuous lunch in the palace. Expulsion, singing and dancing, and eulogy are all common festival items, and some will be added appropriately according to the preferences of the Son of Heaven: for example, when Taizong was in power, he liked calligraphy, and the ministers would compete in the palace for calligraphy; Gaozong is good at poetry, and the ministers compete to offer poems; Xuanzong was good at wine, so the courtiers made a wine order at the banquet......

Today's saint Li Chun is good at martial arts, which is rare among the emperors of the past dynasties, and it also gives the generals a chance to perform, and they volunteer to compete in the main hall. I heard that this year, the descendants of Gongsun Auntie were also arranged to enter the palace to dance the sword, which was also very interesting.

After the lively court meeting, hundreds of officials and envoys will go to meet Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother. But this year is different from the past, the Queen Mother has moved to Xingqing Palace, she

The old man said early that it was a head stroke and wanted to recuperate and avoid the pilgrimage of his courtiers. Even the reunion of the royal family was canceled, but the eldest princess had nothing to do early in the morning.

Only Xiling Yue played the drum in her heart, I don't know if this is the meaning of Xingqing Palace or the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

On the afternoon of the first day, Guo Yansan returned home and brought back a dish of food from the Son of Heaven. On the evening of the same day, the eldest princess and her husband also had a roast tail, and the family really had a reunion dinner.

After that, for six consecutive days, the "throne" in the house began. Because of the noble status of the eldest princess and her wife, most of them were visited by others: the handkerchiefs in the eldest princess's boudoir, Guo Yun's colleagues in the court, and even the Guo clansmen, flocked into the house like flowing water every day. Even several princes respected the identity of the eldest princess, and of course, for the sake of the Guo family's face, they took the initiative to come to the door.

The housekeeper received the gifts softly, the bookkeeper remembered to shake his hands, and the people in the front hall couldn't close their mouths when they received the reward money, but they suffered from the stove room, simmering food day and night, and never extinguished the fire for twelve hours a day.

Until the tenth day of the first month, there were fewer guests in the house, but Xilingyue never saw the person he wanted to see, and he was inevitably lost.

After breakfast, she pondered that she wanted to go to King Fu's mansion, but before she could find a chance to speak, two more guests came to the mansion: one was her old friend Bai Juyi; The other is about to stand up, with a thoughtful appearance, a thin figure, and an elegant scribe, who seems to be very good friends with Bai Juyi.

Without waiting for Xilingyue to guess his identity, Guo Yan had already broken it - Yuan Zhen, Yuan Weizhi.

In September last year, when Xilingyue and others had just arrived in Chang'an, and were having a headache for the identity of "His Royal Highness" and "Pavilion Master", Guo Yan recommended Yuan Zhen, who was at home of Ding Wei, to go to Tengwang Pavilion in Hongzhou to look for clues related to it. Now that four months have passed in the blink of an eye, the identities of His Royal Highness Kang Xing and King Teng's Pavilion Master have been confirmed, and the conspiracy behind them has also been investigated by Xilingyue and others, and the significance of Yuan Zhen's trip is no longer pinned on high hopes.
