Xie Shence walked alone on the bank of the Huangjing River, looking at the empty and frozen Huangjing River, and the Huangjing Building, which was still lively but no one came to the door, and felt a little unaccustomed.

There was a heavy snowfall in Jindu a few days ago, the snow was very thick, and the weather was sunny at this time, and the snow began to melt, and it was a little cold.

wrapped the cotton clothes on his body, unscrewed the wine bag hanging on his fingers, and drank two sips of warm wine.

The dress and behavior of a man of a celebrity did not bring any surprise to Xie Shence, because there were no tourists on the riverside at this time. The few passers-by were also in a hurry, probably rushing home for dinner.

The park on the outskirts of the western city was also uncrowded, and after three years of its heyday, the river never regained its prosperity with the extinction of fish and shrimp in the river.

Dozens of feet behind him, Mao Xiaosan and Zhuo Shishi followed, carrying a thick cowhide bag in their hands.

It was a document that Xie Shence was going to take back for approval.

Zhou Jinmian's son was sick, and he and Tian Fen were very anxious, so the work fell on Xie Shence. As a result, it turned out that Xiao Zhouqi's reason turned out to be that he ate too much of Ding Feng's scallion pancakes some time ago.

In a few hours, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and Ding Feng will also close the stall......

Xie Shence took a deep breath, and then beckoned, Mao Xiaosan whistled, a carriage appeared, and after Zhuo Shishi handed the cowhide bag in his hand to Xie Shence, Xie Shence said with a smile: "Happy New Year, happy family."

Mao Xiaosan and Zhuo 14 were stunned, and their hearts were a little strange after the Admiral saw General Secretary Yang today.

New year...... Happy, everyone knows that this is a blessing word, but when these two words are put together, why is it a little awkward?

"Well, Happy New Year, Lord Admiral......"

Xie Shence smiled, then closed the car door, and the driver drove to Weihou Mansion with the help of the lanterns picked up by every household.

Weihou Mansion was full of lights, laughter and laughter continued to come out, Xie Shence got out of the car and walked over, and when he saw some people from Princess Jinyang, he knew that Princess Jinyang and his nephew Xie Rafter were coming.

Put the things back in the study room of the small courtyard first, but there was no one. Then I went to my father Xie Sheng and my mother Sima Shi to ask for peace, but my mother was not there, only Xie Sheng was still reading the official and document of the household department. After that, Xie Shence went to the backyard Buddha hall to put on the pillar incense, whispered some words, and then got up and went to the backyard to find someone.

Xie Sheng said that they were all in the back garden, so it was no wonder that Xie Shence was deserted when he sent things back to the small courtyard.

There is still some distance to hear the sound of banging, thinking that it is playing cards, Xie Shence smiled and guessed how much Wang Jiehua will win this time, and how much his sister-in-law will lose.

Thinking like this, Xie Shence patted the snow that fell on his body, and then stepped into the back garden.

There is a table of mahjong under the half-open eaves, the mother Sima and the aunt and the princess of Jinyang and a big sister who went back to her parents' house for the New Year are talking and laughing at the card table, there are a few maids behind them, and they are talking about the cards they play, and they cover their mouths and laugh from time to time.

Wang Jiehua was playing with his nephew Xie Rafter, the little guy was sitting on a wooden horse skateboard, and several maids were pushing and running behind, and he laughed happily.

The maids saw Xie Shence and hurriedly saluted, and the eldest aunt and others also saw him, so they stopped to greet him, and Xie Shence smiled and saluted. Xie Rafter didn't recognize his life, jumped off the wooden horse and threw himself into Xie Shence's arms, and then checked to see if Xie Shence had brought him food.

Wang Jiehua walked over, took off her cotton clothes for Xie Shence, put on her robe, and then tied it.

"Why didn't you play?"

"I've been winning in the afternoon, and I'm a little tired, but it just so happened that the eldest sister came back, so I let it go."

"It's too hurtful. Won't you deliberately lose two? ”

"That's no way, you can't control it."

"Only the eldest sister is here, what about the eldest brother-in-law?"

"I heard that I am going to ask the uncle to think of a way to transfer to Kyoto, and at this time the uncle is taking him to inspect the Beijing camp."

Xie Shence took the hot tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and said, "The local army is much more comfortable than the Beijing camp."

Wang Jiehua smiled: "After all, it is Jingying." Even if it's not Jingying, the vicinity of Jinyang is good. You can't say this in front of your eldest sister. ”

"I know, I don't get involved in this kind of thing."

After saying a few words, Xie Rafter came over, so the husband and wife played with the little one.

Xie Shence felt Wang Jiehua's overflowing maternal love, and he didn't feel a little lost.

Mr. Yang has found a way, but the cost is too great.

may not live to be forty years old......

This sentence had been circling in his head since he heard it in the afternoon, as if it were a spell, and it had made him a little confused, tired, and a little headache.

Before dinner, the uncle came back with a happy brother-in-law, Xie Shence saw the expressions of the two, and he could guess that there was something to do, even if he couldn't transfer to Jingying, it was estimated that Jinyang would not be able to run away.

Xie Yi patted Xie Shence's shoulder and said, "Drinking?" Huangjing Building is not open today. ”

Xie Shence was startled, glanced at Wang Jiehua, who was not far away and didn't react when he spoke, and whispered: "Where is it, Uncle can't harm me." It was quite cold on the way back, so I warmed up with a drink. ”

Xie Yi snorted and said, "You are not afraid of the cold, you have nothing to drink, you kid has something on your mind."

Xie Shence smiled and helped to settle down.

The atmosphere of dinner was naturally good, but except for Xie Yi, no one seemed to notice the knot between Xie Shence's eyebrows when he smiled.

After the meal, Xie Yi's family returned to Shuaifu, and on the way, Xie Yi said to his aunt: "I seem to have something on my mind when I watch Fengzhi."

The eldest aunt sighed and said strangely: "Feng Zhi has never been good at color...... What's the trouble with this Tiqi? ”

Xie Yi squinted his eyes and twisted his beard and said, "Not like that." When he talked to Huahua, his eyes were a little evasive, probably between husband and wife. ”

The eldest aunt was shocked and said, "Didn't you say that Feng Zhi did ......?"

"I didn't say that! How dare he do that! Xie Yi shouted softly, and then said with some uncertainty: "Could it be because of the child?"

"Kid? What child? Don't they have children yet? ”

"Isn't that it? It's a problem if you don't have children! ”

The eldest aunt thought for a while and said, "When Feng Zhi was still in Huaiyang Dao, he asked someone to buy medicinal materials, and they are all precious, aren't they?"

"Hmm, these things...... The old man was inconvenient to speak. You can talk to Huahua appropriately, let them relax, and if there is a problem, you have to treat it quickly. However, young people, although they are not in a hurry, must also hurry up. I'm in a hurry. ”

The eldest aunt immediately responded.

Not to mention the suspicious and suspicious ghosts of Xie Yi and his wife, Xie Shence reviewed Tiqi's official and document at night, and it was difficult to calm his heart. Especially when I saw the information about Xi Ren, I felt that I couldn't calm down.

The Xi people were in civil strife, the big leader Muhan Bolu was killed, thousands of kings' tents were destroyed, and only four hundred people including a little prince escaped, and there was a faint shadow of the Qin State behind this......

Could it be that Qin planned all this? After all, the more suspicious the outcome is for whoever is most favorable.

After that, the Qin State would be able to completely free up its hands to the east?

How should Dajin respond?

A lot of questions came to mind, and Xie Shence was troubled for a while. And the more troubled you are, the more some things drill into your head.

may not live to be forty years old......

Fuck the taunt Qin people...... Xie Shence threw the pen and knocked over the inkstone, alarming the people outside the door.

"Young Master......" Caiyi shouted outside the door.

Xie Shence shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

After a pause, Xie Shence said again: "Come in and clean up."

Caiyi pushed open the door and saw Xie Shence, who had a very bad face, and a somewhat messy study.

"Young Master......"

"Clean up."

"Yes......"

After Caiyi was cleaned up, Xie Shence didn't continue, let Caiyi call hot water, everyone retreated, and Xie Shence soaked himself in the bucket.

"Xianggong ......" Wang Jiehua came in.

"Listening to Caiyi say that the princess seems to have something on his mind, I wonder if I can tell the concubine?"

"Huh?" Xie Shence frowned.

Wang Jiehua said with a smile: "Don't blame Caiyi, I asked it myself." Shouldn't I be the first to discover something on your mind? ”

Xie Shence smiled. Indeed, his mind can be hidden from ordinary people, but Wang Jiehua gets along with him day and night, where is it comparable to ordinary people?

"There are some things, but I can't tell you."

Xie Shence didn't say what it was, but he said bluntly that it was not good to say to Wang Jiehua, but it could dispel Wang Jiehua's doubts and the possibility of continuing to ask questions to the greatest extent. Of course, it is also possible to lead Wang Jiehua's idea to another aspect.

"You won't be ...... Like Big Brother, right? ”

Eldest brother? Thank you?

Xie Shence didn't quite understand what Wang Jiehua meant.

"Big brother is outside...... Daughter's. ”

Xie Shence understood in an instant.

"I don't have a daughter out there."

"What about women?"

"Uh...... Not this thing. ”

"What could that be?"

"Some secrets."

Wang Jiehua never took the initiative to ask Xie Shence about the ride, unless Xie Shence took the initiative to talk about it. Since Xie Shence said so, Wang Jiehua didn't ask anymore.

However, Wang Jiehua still felt that Xie Shence had something to hide from him. And this matter definitely has something to do with me.

I have to say that women's intuition is sometimes accurate. However......

"Hmm...... The clothes are not ...... Wet ......"

"It's going to be washed anyway."

……

……

The next morning, it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this day, the entire Jin was immersed in joy.

Illuminations, acrobatics, various hand ornaments, singing and dancing, and even Goryeo dances can be seen.

Xie Shence took his family to travel most of the Jin capital on this day, and the eldest sister looked at Kyoto, which she hadn't seen for many years, and pointed out to the eldest brother-in-law what it was like before here, what it was like there, and the eldest brother-in-law listened carefully and was respectful to the eldest sister.

Well, it seems that the eldest brother-in-law is also a fellow traveler.

- The word "also" is well used.

On Qilin Street, Xie Shence met Li Qiqi, Li Qiqi happily held Princess Jinyang's hand, and talked for a long time, as if he hadn't seen Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua on the side, so that Xie Shence, who was the first to find Li Qiqi, was not embarrassed.

He knew that Li Qiqi didn't want to see him because of Lin Wu'er. And Lin Wu'er has already married Shandong.

Shandong Province ...... Is it Tai'an?

Xie Shence showed an apologetic wry smile to Wang Jiehua, and Wang Jiehua responded with a light smile, disapproving.

Princess Jinyang and Li Qiqi made an appointment to play cards together on the second day of the first lunar month, and then separated, and thanked God for continuing to play alone.

"It is said that the five princes and the princess of the Xianbei clan ...... It's going to be engaged. ”

Xie Shence hummed and said, "Good things are grinding."

"Your Majesty is going to send a mission, and we will go to the Xianbei Royal Court in the first month."

Xie Shence suddenly became nervous: "There won't be me, right?"

Wang Jiehua covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard my sister-in-law say that you were originally in the mission proposed by His Majesty, but in the end it was jointly rejected by several adults."

"I guess I'm afraid I'll make trouble. I am a scourge in their eyes. ”

"Don't say these things during the New Year."

"Hmm...... Then say something else. ”

Everyone walked on the bustling street, bought things at random, watched acrobatics, and said some casual thoughts, so as to welcome the arrival of the ninth year of Zhenglong.
