The moon on the thirteenth day of the first month has just risen at this time, and the cold moon is hazy, not as bright as the moon in summer and autumn, but it reflects the white snow, just like the glass world.

Zhou Xuan and Lin Dai rode side by side, answering Lin Dai's questions, and glancing at Lin Hanyun from time to time.

Lin Hanyun rode a yellow horse, under the cyan cloak was a man's outfit, with a silk fish bag around his waist, and a wooden gold-decorated ritual knife, but the bun was combed into an anti-silk bun, presumably he hurriedly changed into men's clothes and followed Lin Dai when he heard the news of Zhou Xuan's arrival.

Lin Hanyun's big eyes looked at Zhou Xuan for a moment, her small mouth sobbed, she really wanted to talk to Zhou Xuan, but her father was talking to Zhou Xuan, she didn't dare to interject.

Lin Hanyun's demeanor Lin Dai saw it in his eyes, and after a few words of greeting with Zhou Xuan, he smiled and said: "Hanyun wants to talk to you, she waits outside the east gate twice a day." With that, Lema left behind and talked to his great-grandson Lin Heishan.

Lin Hanyun looked at Zhou Xuan, pouted and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you seem to have lost some weight?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Yes, first the Southern Han Dynasty traveled nearly 10,000 miles, and now I came to Jiangzhou to see you, and it was snowing heavily, so it was difficult to travel." ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Hanyun asked: "Brother Zhou Xuan, didn't you send Princess Qingle to the Southern Han Dynasty to get married, how did you marry in your own house?" ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Lin Hanyun's bright eyes, "hehe" twice, and said, "Isn't this lively together." *****”

Lin Hanyun is seventeen years old in the New Year, but he is still quite ignorant in the affairs of men and women, and he doesn't know how to be jealous, anyway, he can't be out of sight and out of mind, seeing Zhou Xuan coming in the snow like this, he is so happy in his heart, and he heard Judge Fan say that Xiao Zhou asked Zhou Xuan to postpone going to Jiangzhou to welcome his relatives. Zhou Xuan refused to break the promise, and Lin Hanyun was so moved that he ran to Baiyunguan to hug his sister and cry.

Lin Hanyun didn't pursue Zhou Xuan's preemptive marriage to the princess first, looked at Zhou Xuan's mount, and shouted: "Ah, my crane in the clouds, how can you be so skinny!" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I went to the Southern Han Dynasty, thanks to the crane in the clouds, in Wuyue Fuzhou, this horse ** also received an arrow, fortunately the crane in the clouds ran fast." Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to Jiangzhou to see you. ”

Lin Hanyun's eyes widened and said: "Yes, yes, I heard Mr. Fourth say that it is extremely dangerous for you to go to the Southern Han Dynasty, and my sister and I are scared to death - by the way, Li Yuanba is dead!" ”

Lin Hanyun's big eyes blinked, looking sad. ^^^^

"When did Li Yuanba die?"

"The tenth day of the first month of November."

Zhou Xuan said: "That's a long life." Where do crickets survive past the end of October! Don't be sad, crickets die in autumn and winter, and we'll play again next year. ”

Lin Hanyun nodded, and said: "Li Yuanba's tomb is outside the White Deer Academy, and I can't touch it, so we will go up to Lushan Mountain to visit them in a few days." "Mansion, when I passed the gate of Chaoyangfang, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Uncle, uncle-I'm blessed!" ”

Zhou Xuan took a look. A big man ran outside the door. The mouth is big and the nose is big, and he is separated by loyal guards, jumping and screaming, and he looks overjoyed.

"Ha, it's Laifu!" Zhou Xuan jumped off the horse.

Zhongwuwei led the horse to get out of the way, and Laifu ran over, kneeling and saluting Zhou Xuan, grinning with a big mouth: "Uncle has finally arrived." Almost the entire Jiangzhou City is waiting for my uncle to arrive. ”

Zhou Xuan helped Laifu up and said with a smile: "Laifu, you are blessed, did you come back a year ago?" ”

Laifu said: "Laifu came back three days before the Chinese New Year, and Laifu must always do it safely when he tells him." ===”

Zhou Xuanxi said: "So Yongfeng Yizhuang and Xishan Academy have begun to take shape? ”

Laifu said: "Yes, the Shangrao Li County Order is also here-"

"Li Tao?" Zhou Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "He's here too?" ”

Laifu said: "Li County's order arrived yesterday, mainly to drink my uncle's wedding wine." The second is to report to my uncle about Yizhuang and the academy. ”

Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to return to Zhuque Fang to inform Dr. Qin and the old couple. He'll go back later.

Entering the capital and protecting the mansion, the feast has already been prepared. The officials above the fifth rank of the Fenghua Metropolitan Protectorate were there, and Xu Tingshi hurried over when he heard the news.

During the banquet, it was learned that Lin Dai's second son Lin Duo was still in Quanzhou and could not rush back, Lin Duo had been promoted to General Sipin Mingwei, and Lin Duo's wife Xu Danyuan was also four months pregnant.

Zhou Xuan ate some indiscriminately, and then went to see Lin Hanyun, the two of them whispered for a while, secretly kissed each other, and said that they would go to Baiyun tomorrow to see Sister Daoyun.

Lin Dai sent Zhou Xuan, the three idiots, and eight soldiers from the Guogong Mansion out of the Duhu Mansion, Laifu and the four idiots were waiting under the cypress tree outside the door, and when they saw Zhou Xuan coming out, Laifu shouted: "Uncle-

The four idiots took two steps tightly, but slowed down their steps, fell behind Laifu, and called out first: "Third brother." Only then did he salute Zhou Xuan, because it was night, although there was moonlight, Zhou Xuan couldn't see the sudden flush on her face.

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I haven't seen the fourth child for three months, I miss it tightly, the third child is now going to accompany the third sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law is pregnant." ”

The four idiots said "ah", and hurriedly said hello to the three idiots.

Zhou Xuan resigned from Lin Dai and walked back to the Zhou Mansion in Zhuque Fang, it was late at night, Dr. Qin and his wife were still waiting in the front hall, and Zhou Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to give the second elder a big gift.

Dr. Qin smiled and helped him up, and said in greetings: "The virtuous son-in-law has worked hard from afar, and the road is not easy to walk on snowy days." ”

Mrs. Qin asked Qin Que about the current situation of Qin Que and the sewing needle, and she was very worried about her granddaughter Zhou Zhiruo, who had not yet met. 、

Zhou Xuan said: "They miss the two old people very much, and when I return to Jinling this time, the second old man will go with his son-in-law." ”

The people of the Zhou Mansion all came to visit Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan saw that Xu Mingjiang and Mei Zhi and his wife were also among them, so he smiled and asked: "Xu Mingjiang and Mei Zhi, can you get used to living here?" ”

Xu Mingjiang is not good at words, and Mei Zhi said: "Thank you for the county public relations, Master Qin and Mrs. Qin take good care of the villain and his wife." ****”

Mrs. Qin said to Zhou Xuan: "Virtuous son-in-law, Mei Zhi and his wife are good, I am old and frail, and I rely on Mei Zhi to help ** handle the chores of the house." ”

As he was talking, the men and women walked out from the inside, the men's satin robe and brocade belt, the white fat and elegant, the women's embroidered red skirt, the expression was gentle and quiet, and the temperament of everyone was very beautiful. ”

Zhou Xuan laughed heartily and stepped forward to hold Li Tao's hand: "Master Li, admit your feelings." He returned the salute to Mrs. Li Tao on the side.

At this time, it was already past midnight, and it was inconvenient to talk for a long time, Zhou Xuan went back to the room to rest after washing, it was the new house where he was married to Qin Que and Su Needle before, and the furnishings had not changed at all.

At breakfast the next day, Zhou Xuan and Li Tao talked about the affairs of Xinzhou Yongfeng Yizhuang and Xishan Academy, and learned that Yongfeng Yizhuang had sheltered 173 lonely elderly people and raised orphans, and Xishan Academy had also been completed, and hired local scholars as teachers, and 81 students were currently studying in the academy.

Zhou Xuan was very happy and said, "I'll go back to Xinzhou when I'm free." ”

Laifu on the side said: "Uncle, according to my uncle's instructions, Laifu took time to go to Shezhou in September, and saw Zeng Daqian, a tea merchant in Huangshan, and asked Zeng Daqian to send the tea silver that belonged to my uncle every year to Shangrao County, Xinzhou, as the expenses of Yizhuang and the academy, Zeng Daqian agreed——"

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Laifu, you did a good job, I will reward you when I return to Beijing." But seeing Laifu's purple swelling and mouth open, he wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak, so he asked with a smile: "Laifu, what's the matter?" Laifu knelt down and stammered: "Uncle, Laifu has one thing to ask Uncle to fulfill." ”

"Say—"

"Laifu went to Shezhou this time, and the shopkeeper saw Laifu looking dignified and down-to-earth, and intended to marry his daughter to Laifu as his wife-

"Oh? Is that the nickname Saiyang Feidi? ”

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan laughed: "That's good, this is a good thing, of course I want to fulfill you, how much the dowry or something will cost, although it will be paid by the government." ”

Laifu said: "The Zeng family is rich, but they don't care about the amount of the bride price, the shopkeeper Zeng only asks for one thing, that is, to ask my uncle to write a letter to Shezhou Thorn History, and ask Shezhou Thorn History as a matchmaker, so that Zeng Shopkeeper is willing to let his daughter marry me." ”

Zhou Xuan laughed, Zeng Daqian is an old slippery head, this is to take advantage of his Zhou Xuan's momentum, if Shezhou Thorn Shi comes to the door to be a matchmaker, and knows that his daughter is married to the chief steward of the Zhou State Mansion, and no one in Shezhou will dare to underestimate him in the future, but let the family be a matchmaker for a family, it is really a bit wronged to let people Shezhou Thorn History, but think about it, buddy is now in a high position, what is the meaning of not letting the people around him get some light, a person has a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and he has long promised to come over to bless the peasant woman, mountain spring, and a little field, said: "Okay, in two days, I will write a letter to Shezhou Assassin Shi and let the Fenghua Army's stagecoach send it, and you will also follow it, right?" Okay, I'll send six Fenghua soldiers with you, to strengthen your momentum, there are still some silver money mansions, you can bring more, I will write a letter to Zeng Daqian, let you and Concubine Saiyang get married as soon as possible, and then come to Jinling together. ”

Laifu was overjoyed, stood up with three heads, and smiled from ear to ear.

While he was talking, Lao Dong of the Duhu Mansion came in and said, "Second Miss invites Zhou Guogong to go to Baiyun Temple." ”

is going to get married tomorrow, and he is still running out to play today, which is only Lin Hanyun.

Zhou Xuan looked left and right and said, "Fourth, you go with me." ”

I'm going to see Sister Daoyun again, Xiaodao is also looking forward to it, I want to be more yards tomorrow, and I must work hard.
