Xu Zi first returned drunk in the Changwen Marquis Mansion, and only sobered up the next day.

After that, he began to prepare for the New Year in the Hou Mansion, powdering everywhere, putting up lights, cutting red paper, preparing dried fruit snacks, scrubbing blessing offerings and other application items, and then preparing cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens and other tribute and New Year's food, a few days, hurried over.

On the night of the New Year, Xu Zixian took Xiuniang and his little sister to worship their ancestors in the family ancestral hall.

This time it was much more lively than last year, with bright lights and candles all around, reflecting the ancestral hall as if it were daytime, and the snow was bright everywhere.

Chen Zuocai, Liu Yi and others stood left and right, helping to hold the knight, Xu Zi first offered incense, held the knight, drank wine, prayed, and the little sister and Xiuniang followed the salute, but they wanted to separate from the man and stand on the other side.

Gao Shilai and Jin Jian and others changed into military attache robes and waited on the side to stand on the side, in order to strengthen their momentum.

This sacrifice was a little more lively than the Nan'an Hou Mansion when Xu Yingbin was there.

After the ceremony was completed, the little sister put incense in front of the parents' god card and prayed together.

After a while, Xu Zixian saw the tears on his sister's face, obviously, knowing the little sister's heart, the grand scene in front of him, and it was gratifying, and he was happy for his deceased parents, Hou Mansion has today, presumably Xu Yingbin and his wife should be relieved and happy, and what made the little sister cry unwillingly, of course, the parents are not very old, Xu Yingbin is only in his forties if he is alive, and Xu's mother died before thirty.

Thinking about it, it was really moving, Xu Zixian did not come forward to convince him, but only dragged Xiuniang to the main hall to keep the New Year.

After a while, the little sister packed up her mood and walked in, Xu Zi first looked at the little sister who had wiped away the tears as if she had nothing to do, and said deliberately: "After the New Year, the little sister will be fifteen?" ”

"Is it good to settle the family matter?" Xiuniang added, and Xu Zixian cooperated very well.

"Well, that's what I mean." Xu Zixian looked like a big brother, put on the shelf of the eldest brother, and said to the little sister: "What kind of man do you like?" is such a brave brother, or is he handsome and elegant, or is he shrewd and capable? In short, you have to be promising, you can't find a useless second ancestor, you have to have a good temper, and Aunt Weng's temper is even better! ”

The little sister was originally heavy-minded, but at this time she was amused by Xu Zixian and laughed, of course she would not answer what kind of man she liked, the little sister is not a young lady who lives in the boudoir, the matter of the back house, now it will be taken care of by her and Xiuniang, Xu Zi first plans to establish an inner treasury after marriage, separate from the public expense of group training, and a lot of money is spent from the inner treasury, such as a nursery, vegetable garden, duck farm, pig farm, etc., those are all built with the money and land of the Hou Mansion, and there is no need to mix with the public school.

The income of the workshop machine is also attributed to the Hou Mansion Inner Treasury, when the time comes, Chen Wenjun, Xiuniang, Xiaomei, and some scribes will be sent to the tent outside the courtyard to fight, Xu Zixian does not have a strong distinction between men and women, thinking that women should live in the boudoir and ignore world affairs, in fact, women are not less shrewd than men, there are many people. Moreover, the tradition of the Great Wei is that the daughter-in-law is in charge of the family after becoming a parent, the family is big, the assets are not more than hundreds of millions, plus many official villages, commercial shops, women can manage it very well, even stronger than men.

The income of the inner treasury is not entirely spent in the Hou Mansion, and even most of them will be used to enrich the group training, expand the strength in Xu Zixian's hands, and only with strength can he keep greater wealth, which Xu Zixian is still very clear.

If you are so short-sighted, you will not be able to achieve great things.

It's just a pity that the little sister can't help her for a few years, and she has to get married after all, which makes Xu Zixian a little sad.

The little sister is serious, meticulous, literate, and has learned good arithmetic in the past six months, in fact, she can be like Chen Wenjun and Xiuniang, and can be a good helper for herself.

With Xiaomei's ability and knowledge, and most of the people recruited by Xu Zi are talents, it is not wrong to say that Xiaomei's vision is very high.

Xu Zixian doesn't have a view of the door, if the little sister likes it, even if the swineherd herds the cow baby, it is okay, the important thing is the character, knowledge, self-motivation, of course, you have to take into account the appearance and figure.

Like all brothers and sisters who depend on each other, Xu Zixian feels like an eldest brother is a father in front of his younger sister.

This is a kind of responsibility, but also a kind of emotional sustenance, the girl in front of her is also the person Xu Zixian can trust and rely on the most in this world, and she is a real blood relative.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Xiuniang can't believe or Chen Wenjun who is about to come over, but psychologically speaking, at this moment, Xu Zixian must still be the first in his mind.

"Big brother is in such a hurry to drive me out, but I won't leave." The little sister sat down, took a pear and peeled it, and said: "Now the Hou Mansion is different from the past, I have been frugal before, and I always have to stay for a few more years to enjoy the happiness before leaving." ”

Xu Zixian was heartbroken, knowing that the little sister was deliberately diverting the topic, but in his heart, he remembered the situation when he was not angry before, and the little sister was living hard at home.

He nodded and said, "Also, within three years, no one will want to take my sister away." At least eighteen, I will consider marrying my little sister off. ”

"You can also be engaged first." Xiuniang's feelings for her little sister are deep and sincere, but she knows her little sister's thoughts, and reminded Xu Zixian if she didn't have anything: "You are handsome, gentle, elegant, and a friend with a good temper, it's not nothing, settle down first, and then marry after two or three years, it's also good." ”

"I see."

Xu Zixian saw that the little girl did not refute out loud, and faintly knew the little girl's thoughts. With the age of the little sister, she is only a junior high school student in the next life, but it is also the age of early love, it seems that the female university is not staying, Xu Zixian said in his heart, this time he will go north, and he will knock on Wei Yanke's bamboo pole.

As for whether Wei Yi himself is willing, what more can be said?

……

On the first day of the new year, Xu Zi first went to the palace of King Zhao to pay homage to the New Year, of course King Zhao did not pass on, and threw a famous thorn in the blessing bag at the gate of the palace, and Xu Zi rode away first.

The spring was cold, but the attitude of the Zhao Wangfu men and the tooth generals was even colder, and almost all of them looked at Xu Zixian and his servants with cold faces, and they couldn't see a trace of a smile at all.

The people in the palace are so shrewd that they know that King Zhao and Xu Zixian's uncle and nephew are against each other.

Recall that since Xu Zixian fainted on the Yaji more than half a year ago, and then went back to Nan'an Villa to recuperate, it has only been more than half a year, from midsummer to the year, it seems that not much has passed, but things in the world are so mysterious, before waiting for Xu Ziwen to summon him, the little prince who could blend into the dilapidated Hou Mansion in the palace Yaji has now turned into a prince and official who is in charge of the hot side of Fujian Road?

And the signs of disharmony with King Zhao Dingniu, uncles and nephews, by the Pu family's secret attack this time, have been quite obvious in front of the civil and military officials of Fujian Road.

Some things can't be hidden, so many officials are such shrewd characters, if King Zhao takes into account the feelings of his uncle and nephew, or starts from the overall situation of the clan, no matter what Lin Douyao thinks, the two princes of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the main and deputy Dadu Governors ordered the opening of the city together, with the prestige of King Zhao and King Qi in the forbidden army, at least two armies of the forbidden army and one army of the box army can attack quickly, and if the war is not up, you can find that the Hou Guan's side is a suspicious strategy, and the battle of Jiangtan has not yet started, I am afraid that the forbidden army has already arrived.

In this way, Xu Zixian's contribution will become smaller, but the warriors are not afraid of war, keep Nan'an, Gukou, water, and show strength, Xu Zixian's role is also great, and with the support of the two princes, the pattern of Fujian Road will only be better, not worse.

King Zhao's coldness and procrastination were obviously seen that Xu Zixian was still in trouble on Fujian Road in the future.

Judging from the attitude of the people in the palace at the moment, it is also obvious that uncles and nephews are enemies.

Xu Zixian didn't care, he put the famous thorn in his cold eyes, and looked at the situation of the gatekeeper of Zhao Wangfu, I was afraid that he couldn't wait to take out the famous thorn in the lucky bag and throw it away.

"It's really a hot face and a cold ass."

Chen Zuocai also went to visit relatives and friends on this day, anyway, he spent the New Year in the Hou Mansion, and he bowed to Xu Zixian in the morning, and left in a hurry when the ceremony arrived.

Liu Yi followed with a group of tooth generals, all of whom were wearing formal official uniforms, at least to hold up the scene, and when leaving, the teeth of Zhao Wangfu's generals were also wearing brand new official robes, and the two sides stared at each other like fighting cocks.

"Why bother." Xu Zixian saw that Liu Yi's eyes were blood-red, and his momentum like a man-eating tiger was about to be released, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Nian Zhengdan, it's not worth it." It's really a joke, and it's a joke. ”

Liu Yi nodded slowly, his eyes were blood-red, he looked at Zhao Wangfu, and said, "Killing these wastes is like killing chickens and dogs." When there is a chance, the tooth general of Zhao Wangfu, I will kill it. ”

Xu Zixian said: "If there is such an opportunity, I am afraid that Great Wei will die." ”

"That's okay, it's best to kill it."

Xu Zixian was silent, in fact, King Zhao is also the cornerstone of stabilizing Fuzhou and Fujian Road, when the Beijing Division fell, Zhao Wangfu also unified the power of Fujian Road to resist the enemy, but whether it is King Zhao himself, or Xu Ziwei, it is not the material for leading the army to fight. The ability is low, but he is jealous of his ability, and he consumes the strength of his side in vain, and finally King Zhao committed suicide in Nan'an, Jianzhou, Xu Ziwei, Xu Ziwen, including Xu Zixian and others were killed by the Min River.

Putting aside the so-called relationship between uncle and nephew, the proof of King Zhao's actions in Fujian is completely useless.

Xu Zixian's heart was awe-inspiring, and he was also cold.

If you want to save the country, or even grasp the resources of Fujian Road for your own use, you can take a peek into western Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, and Liangguang, and integrate the south into one to resist Donghu.

Then King Zhao is a stumbling block that must be removed, and in this regard, even his relatives can't take care of it.

I'm afraid that King Zhao has already realized this, Xu Zixian thought coldly in his heart.

……

The second mansion to arrive is, of course, the Qi Palace.

went to King Zhao's mansion for fear of being told that the younger generation did not know etiquette, and King Zhao would also make a fuss about it, and Xu Zi would be blocked first and had nothing to say.

When you go to the Qi Palace, you are willing and yearn for it.

In the eyes of many guests who rode horses or came to pay New Year's greetings, Xu Zixian took Liu Yi and others to enter from the side door of the Qi Palace.

There are also many people who recognize Xu Zixian, and they don't feel strange about King Qi's courtesy.
