Chapter 865: Chinese New Year in Guangzhou (2)
When she arrived at the house, Xiyi immediately took off her coat, asked the maid to wipe the sweat on her neck, and complained: "Husband, it's all you, let the concubine wear so thick, the concubine thought how cold it was in Guangzhou, it turned out that it was the autumn weather in the capital, so the concubine sweated so much." ”
"Isn't it not long since your body recovered, I'm afraid that you will be frozen and sick." Yun Xi smiled.
"How can the concubine's body be so weak, although it can't compare to Sister Li, but it can withstand this kind of weather." Xiyi was disgusted.
Yun Xi just smiled and didn't answer this time, but asked, "I went to Sanyuan Palace today, did you see Zhang Sanfeng?" "The two of them left the palace today, Xiyi went to thank Zhang Sanfeng for saving his life, and Li Sha'er went to Sanyuan Palace to worship the Sanyuan Emperor, but now Zhang Sanfeng lives in Sanyuan Palace, and the two of them go together.
"See. Sanfeng Zhenren has not gone out to collect medicine and see a doctor in the past few days, hiding in the backyard of Sanyuan Palace to study something. The concubine arrived at Sanyuan Palace, said a few words to Sanfeng Zhenren, gave him the gift she had given, and went to Sanyuan Hall and Baogu Hall to bow down, and then came back. ”
After Xiyi finished recounting what she had done today, she said to Yunxi: "Husband, Sanfeng is a real person, and he will definitely go to heaven to be an immortal in the future." Although the husband is also a star in the sky, it is still good to be polite to the real person of Mitoyo, and it is good to have a good fate when he returns to the sky in the future. ”
Yun Xi smiled bitterly. Even if the people of China are already the most pragmatic people, feudal superstition is also very marketable, there are many people who believe in the existence of immortals, even the most vicious Jiangyang thieves will rarely deal with monks and Taoists, and there are many people who give money to temples and Taoist temples, whether they have money or not. Xiyi used to be a little better, since this year's witch Gu case is very convinced of this, became a Taoist, these two months not only often go to the Taoist temple in Guangzhou City, but also give thousands of taels of silver, take out a piece of jade that Yunxi gave her before carving into the shape of Bao Gu, and carry it with her.
Yun Xi "mmmmmmmm
After the meal, Xiyi and Li Sha'er went to rest, and Yun Xi called Xiyi's eldest maids in early spring and late autumn over and asked, "Tonight's banquet has been prepared, right?" ”
"The official family, whether it is a place for banquets, various programs, or wine and food, has been prepared properly, and there are no omissions." Early Spring replied.
"That's good. This is a matter of your master's reputation, and you must not be careful. Yun Xi said. The two of them bowed and said yes.
What Yun Xi said was the banquet for the royal family tonight. Although he is not in the capital but in Guangzhou City now, the royal family still has to entertain, at least Zhu Lu and Zhu Mo, the two princes who followed him all the way to Guangzhou City, have to be entertained. Yun Xi also ordered that the vassal kings who wanted to pay tribute this year were not allowed to enter Beijing and all came to Guangzhou, so there are still many vassal kings in Guangzhou now, such as Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, and others, so he held a banquet and drank according to his practice in the capital in previous years.
He can't and won't call Xiyao to Guangzhou, so the capital will be empty, even if he has asked Chang Sheng to return to the capital in the name of 'typhoid fever', he doesn't dare to let Xiyao out of Beijing rashly. Xiyi, as one of the four concubines, is also the queen's own sister, so she can only arrange banquets and host female banquets. Li Sha'er doesn't mention her identity or whether she is a concubine or not, even if she is already one of the four concubines, she can't replace Xiyi to preside over this matter.
Ke Xiyi has never taken care of this matter, and Yun Xi was afraid that she would mess it up, so she directly handed it over to the female officer who could be used by her subordinates.
At this time, he listened to Zaochun's words, and asked, "What she wants to say at the banquet has already been handed over to her?" ”
"Your Majesty, the slave has already told Niangniang, and Niangniang is already familiar with it." Early Spring replied.
"That can't be relaxed. Xiyi has never said such a thing at a banquet, and she will forget the words when the time comes. You want to mention her when the time comes. It doesn't matter what you say after that, the first few sentences must not go wrong. ”
Yun Xi instructed them a few more words and told them to retreat.
Then Yun Xi handed Wang Xi over again and asked, "Is there an excerpt from Annan to report on the military affairs?" ”
"Official, no. The slave has been in the study in the front yard since early in the morning, but he has not seen a letter from Annan. Wang Xi replied.
Yun Xi's mood was not very good all of a sudden. 'Why aren't there any excerpts from Annam?' Could it be that he lost the battle again, didn't want to spoil the New Year, and was afraid of my severe punishment, so he didn't send it? ’
He immediately opened the map of Annan drawn up, pointed to the location of Nanding City, and said to himself: "The news came a few days ago that Zanyi has led 150,000 troops to attack Nanding City, could it be that the siege has been frustrated?" It is unlikely that the battle will be lost. It's hard to say about Zanyi's own ability to fight with soldiers, but Ma Jun and the three of them are all battle-hardened generals, so there won't be too many problems. ”
"But it's not certain. What's more, there is also the possibility that Zanyi will deprive them of their military power. Could it be that he really lost the battle? ”
I scared Yun Xi, who felt that something was wrong the more I thought about it, and even thought of the possibility that Zhu Zanyi would escape back to Dragon City with his troops in embarrassment.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and said to Wang Xi: "You don't have to be with me for tonight's banquet, just stay in the study, and if there is any song from Annan, report it to me immediately." ”
"Yes, official." Wang Xi replied.
Yoon-hee forced him to take his thoughts away from the matter. No matter how much he thinks about it in Guangzhou, it is useless to see the twists and turns, and everything he thinks about now is a blind thought.
Yun Xi, who turned around, saw Wang Xi who bowed down and agreed, and said, "Wang Xi, I can't let you go home and reunite with your family during the Chinese New Year this year." However, when I return to the capital, I will grant you a big vacation, starting in at least fifteen days, to reunite you with your family and make up for the vacancy of not being able to reunite during the New Year. ”
"Slave, thank you for your grace." Wang Xi immediately knelt down and said.
"Also, the eunuchs and maids in the palace have been very busy in the past few months. You send an order, and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace will be given double stipends, and a piece of silk and satin material for making clothes. Tonight, except for those who must stay behind and accompany them, the rest will find a place in the inner courtyard to arrange a table of banquets, and let the chef of the palace cook a good meal for you. ”
"The slaves thanked the official family for their grace." Wang Xi kowtowed again and said.
Yoon-hee nodded and told him to step down.
After that, he also took a break, got up in the afternoon, and disposed of a few more twists and turns, and called Shang Xiyi and Li Sha'er at the beginning of the time to go to the banquet place tonight.
