In the past month or so approaching the New Year, Xie Shence has really looked like an office worker.

When I went to Taixue to sign in, I often saw Professor Niu punishing disobedient students with a whip. Or in the dormitory area, you will see two uncles drinking tea opposite each other. The weather is so cold Won't you get sick if you drink tea outdoors, Xie Shence has been embarrassed to ask.

In class, you can always win with the students. Mr. Xie Xiao's reputation is also getting louder and louder in Tai Academy. There were often queues outside his teaching hall to ask questions.

When he was fine, Xie Shence would take the time to go to the second floor of Qian Lao's professor building to drink tea and chat about his academic life, and sometimes he would blush and quarrel with a thick neck for a long time.

Naturally, Xie Laosan and two maidservants came to pick him up and go home in the evening, or find Sima Yu to go to the tavern for a meal.

On his day off, he went out of the city with Xie Shenwei to ride and shoot. Princess Wanting and King Qi (the crown prince) also often participated.

And the He Ruo brothers and sisters went back to the grassland of the former He Ruobu with the Huai caravan a month ago to worship their ancestors.

Of course, Xie Shence's correspondence with Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan has also been continuous.

At the end of this year in Jindu, there were several heavy snowfalls, which brought a lot of new atmosphere to the people of Jindu. In particular, several events at the end of the year made the people of Jindu very happy, so there was a lot more joy than before.

First of all, the Xianbei people's invasion was beaten by the northwest army of Uncle Xie of the Xie family, and then a thousand war horses were paid tribute to the Great Jin.

Then there was a man of the year in Jindu: the little marquis of the Xie family. Of course, now more people in Jindu call him Mr. Xie Xiao. Since Mr. Xie Xiao returned from Chuzhou City at the end of this summer, he has served as the personal teacher of Dr. Taixue and Princess Wanting, and then won the love and support of many Taixue students in Tai Academy with his profound knowledge and novel insights, and his popularity has directly surpassed that of Sima Dajia and Qian Lao. Moreover, many of Mr. Xie Xiao's poems, such as "Hangu Caring for the Ancients", which is nostalgic for the past and the present, "Jinyang City-Snow", etc., as well as the multi-story novel "Three Kingdoms" serialized in Jinyang Bookstore, have been greatly sought after.

Another thing related to the life of the people of Jindu is that a suburban garden was built outside the western suburbs. The garden was completed in early November, and it is said that Kyoto Prefecture Yoshi also attended the completion ceremony. The reason why this incident is related to the people of Jindu is because the Kyoto Prefecture issued a notice that this section of the river in the west of the city was opened up as a free fishing place, and fishing nets were prohibited, and you only needed to pay ten yuan to fish for half a day, and you could choose to take away three fish without paying taxes. This policy was warmly welcomed by the people of Jindu, so the river has been overcrowded since November. In order to meet the needs of public security, Kyoto Prefecture has also hired a large number of puffy ruffians to crack down on people who do not pay money to enter the market or smuggle fish out, maintaining public order and solving the problem of employment, killing two birds with one stone. Later, in order to carry out this "people's livelihood project" to the end, Kyoto Prefecture also released 20,000 fish into this river, and Kyoto Prefecture Yin Yang Sanjube personally released the first one in public. With deliberate rendering and deliberate publicity, this project raised the folk prestige of Yin Yang Sanzao in Kyoto Prefecture to the highest point in one fell swoop.

Okay, if the first one has little to do with everyone, and the second one is just a conversation after dinner, the third day is a major event to improve the food of the people of Jindu. After all, ten pennies can't buy three catties of pork, right? However, even the coolies who are mixed with the dock can eat a good meal every two or three days since November, and if the fish caught is large, they can be sold in addition to eating at home, and maybe there will be a profit after offsetting!

And these things all happened after Mr. Xie Jiaxiao came back.

So everyone couldn't help but be grateful for the third thing to Mr. Xie Xiao. I think it was the good luck brought by Mr. Xie Xiao that made Kyoto Prefecture, which has been good in recent years, very good all of a sudden.

It is precisely because of these three things that this year of Jindu people is a little different from the past.

The Northwest Army, which might have killed a lot of people, actually went home one after another for the New Year, which made many old men and women very relieved, after all, with the Xie family in the northwest, there would be fewer deaths. Therefore, the military family was happy. They were happy, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor was even happier.

Mr. Xie Xiao's poems and books have made many fresh programs for the people who sing for a living in the brothel of Qinglou, and the owner is happy, and there are more rewards, so the servants and rich people are happy. And the student scribe was also happy because he had a lot of good works to talk about.

And being able to eat fish, have more inputs, be able to pull a few feet of cloth for their babies to make a set of new clothes for the New Year, and buy one or two cheap hairpin headdresses for the yellow-faced mother-in-law who works hard all day, the babies are also happy, and the men and mothers-in-law are also happy.

Therefore, although the people of Jindu do not know who Mr. Xie Xiao is, they are at least grateful to the Xie family.

In fact, these ordinary people don't know that these three things are related to the Xie family. Except for the first one, which has nothing to do with Mr. Xie Xiao, the other two are closely related to Mr. Xie Xiao. Especially the third piece.

The western suburbs of Jindu have excellent scenery. The purple fog Qionghua dots the branches, and a bay of river water brings people.

Xie Shence has loved this place since he first came here to fish. So I often come here for fishing and picnics.

With the increase in the number of visits, the identities of the people who came also changed from two brothers to teachers and students of Tai Academy to the crown prince Qi Wang and Princess Wanting, and they became more and more noble, and there were more people who came to fish and picnic in the suburbs of Xicheng. After all, the scenery here is good, and you can take the opportunity to get close to the nobles, right? Therefore, whether it is a real picnic or vassal elegance or opportunism, the suburbs of the west city have gradually become lively.

Then Xie Shence found Yang Sanzao.

Later, there was the current suburb.

So Xie Shence and Yang Sanzao had an extra small income.

Xie Shence got up early this morning, because Princess Wanting sent someone to send a post a few days ago, asking Xie Shenwei and Xie Shence to go fishing in the suburbs of Xicheng.

As soon as Xie Shence went out, he was shivered by the cold wind that poured in, good guy, there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and now the snow has not yet melted, and the weather is extremely cold.

Xie Shence called Caiyi and Lu'er, who were lazy in bed and didn't want to get up, went to the hall to drink soy milk, and asked people to go to the room to order a breakfast for three people and send it to the small courtyard.

Caiyi and Lu'er, the two maidservants, are the little girls by Sima's side, and they have been by Xie Shence's side since he returned to Jindu. Because Xie Shence is easy-going and likes to make some small jokes to tease people, the courage of the two maids has become bigger and bigger. Now they dare to ask the young master to bring them breakfast.

At the urging of Xie Shence, the two maidservants finished breakfast and reluctantly braved the cold wind to go out.

Xie Shenwei was already waiting.

Naturally, there was no way to ride a horse on such a cold day, so the four carriages left Xiangyangfang and headed for the west city gate. Princess Wanting and Xie Shence agreed to meet at the West City Gate.

When he arrived at the West City Gate, Xie Shence saw the yellow canopy used by the royal family from a distance. Princess Wanting actually arrived first, Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei had already advanced for half an hour, so wouldn't Princess Wanting be even earlier?

Xie Shence jumped out of the car and said to Princess Wanting with a smile: "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to arrive first. Let His Highness wait for a long time. ”

Princess Wanting smiled very ladylikely: "It's okay." Wanting has seen her husband and cousin. ”

Mr. is naturally Xie Shence, and cousin is naturally Xie Shenwei.

Xie Shenwei nodded slightly, he could be regarded as having seen it.

Now that they had arrived, they went to the western suburbs.

Since the weather was quite cold, and it was morning, there were basically no people in sight on the outskirts of Xicheng, and Xie Shence breathed a sigh of relief.

There were so many people some time ago. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is not very cold, there are actually Jindu people with their whole families going into battle, one person and one fishing rod, the whole family fishing, and then choose three of the fattest ones to take home, or as New Year's goods or sell to others. Intense fishing activities have led to the extinction of fish and shrimp in the river. This is the major event that Yang Sanzao put fish on the show, which made the people of Jindu applaud.

In winter, it is very cold in Jin, so the river is covered with a very thick layer of ice.

Xie Shence took the ice axe and icebreaker knife, carved an ice hole in the ice, and then put away the seat umbrella cover and other objects, and then called the two maidservants to come over and accompany the fishing.

Fishing, especially icebreaker fishing in winter, has to be done by yourself. If you ask a servant to do everything, there is no point in it. If you don't listen to music on such a cold day and gamble for money, fishing on the cold and biting river surface is not elegant and uninhibited, but purely looking for guilt.

The two round-dressed maidservants pouted and rubbed over with unhappy faces.

Xie Shence ignored the expressions of the servants, pressed them to the seats, and took the bait himself. The bloodworms, which had been soaked in diluted honey for a while, were hung under the upside-down spines of the hook and thrown into the water, Xie Shence picked up a short fishing rod and waited for the fish to take the bait.

At this time, Xie Shence had time to see Xie Shenwei and Princess Wanting.

Of course, it is impossible for Xie Shenwei and Princess Wanting to snuggle together like Xie Shence and the two maidservants. The two opened up for a distance, Xie Shenwei had a cold face, and his eyes never left the fish mark in the ice cave, while Princess Wanting was full of smiles, and her eyes never left Xie Shenwei.

Alas. Xie Shence sighed in his heart: Sir, I can only help you get here

Xie Shence knew that Xie Shenwei didn't like Princess Wanting, although he didn't hate it, he definitely wouldn't like it. What's more, some time ago, he risked his life to save his little lover (only Xie Shence dared to say so) He Ruoque, the two were in love with each other, **, Xie Shenwei would not accept the little princess even more.

And his accidental glance at Xie Shence happened to collide with Xie Shenwei's sword-like eyes, and he was full of excitement and shivered. Taking advantage of He Ruoque's absence to help the little princess "seduce" Xie Shenwei, he will definitely be hated by the two of them!

This cold shudder startled Lu'er next to him, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Young master, have you caught a fish?" Did you catch it? ”

Xie Shence looked at the maid who rubbed her eyes, and said incredulously: "On such a cold day, after such a short period of effort, how did you fall asleep?" ”

Lu'er smiled embarrassedly: "I, I still have a small stove hidden in my arms, it's so warm, young master, are you cold, I'll use it for you if it's cold." ”

Xie Shence looked at her originally slender but wrapped waist into a barrel, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "If you two are cold, go back to the carriage." ”

When Lu'er heard this, she was about to cheer, but Caiyi said: "The slave and maid don't go back, and they finally come out for a trip, so they must accompany the young master to fish well." ”

Xie Shence turned his face away, pinched Lu'er's round little face and said, "See, this is the type that the young master likes." ”

Midori pouted unhappily.
