Finally arrived on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, compared with yesterday, today's Jijing seems more lively.

Although the lantern festival is at night, the people in the city can no longer suppress this festive atmosphere, especially the daughters of the family in Jijing, these girls in their prime, have changed into festive costumes early, holding paper fans, walking together on the snowy road, frolicking and playing.

......The sound of the wheels of the carriage was getting closer and closer, and the girls holding paper umbrellas hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, blinking and watching the carriage slowly pass by, with a bit of strangeness in their eyes.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Xie An stepped out of the carriage and looked at the guards patrolling and guarding the streets.

"It's Lord Xie An......xie, the young secretary of the Great Prison Temple," a young girl whispered.

As soon as the words fell, a companion beside her said with great interest, "I know I know, I heard my father say that this is the Lantern ......Festival of the Ministry of Rites, Weiwei Temple, Da Prison Temple, and the Eastern Army jointly preparing for the Shangyuan Festival."

"This young man is so young when he gets up......"

"Of course, I heard my father say that he is only eighteen years old, and he is not yet weak!"

"Really?"

"Hee-hee, what do you want? ――People are already married! ”

"Huh?"

"What, you don't know? -- The word spread in Kyoto......"

"Who's home?"

"Saying it scares you to death, Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion!"

"Liang Qiu's family...... Isn't that ...... She? Yan Hu Ji? No way? Didn't you say you wouldn't get married? ”

"As a daughter's family, how can there be a ...... not to marry"

Just when a girl on the side of the road was talking about Xie An, the guards of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple on the street had seen Xie An, and hurriedly greeted him, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Shaoqing has worked hard!" ”

"Okay," Xie An nodded, looking around the street, and asked, "How's it going?" ”

When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "There is nothing wrong with ...... for the time being."

"Don't let up! -- The imperial court attaches great importance to this Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, and the official does not want to see anything illegal...... Warn the ruffians in the city, if anyone dares to touch the bad head of this official and Lord Xun today, from now until the end of this year, the cell in the official prison temple is specially set up for him! ”

"Yes! - Rest assured, the little ones will warn those scoundrels! ”

"Very good...... Has Lord Xun ever been to this street? ”

"Back to Lord Shaoqing, Lord Xun is still here, and after instructing me to be on strict guard, I will go to Zhengyang Street, it is said that Lord Ruan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is not very satisfied with the lanterns hanging on Zhengyang Street, so he sent someone to invite Lord Xun to go over, and then repair it......"

"Zhengyang Street?" Xie An was stunned, you must know that he had already been to Zhengyang Street once, and there was no problem when he came.

Thinking about it, he shook his head with a smirk.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for Zhang Luo and arranging all the lanterns in Jijing City, Xie An has already known about this, but he didn't expect that his teacher, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is peaceful on weekdays, but he is so picky about doing things, this is good, and even took the Weiwei Temple Qing Xun Zheng in......

Renovate the lanterns hanging on the entire Zhengyang Street, hey, those two are busy this time!

"Okay, you wait for the good students to patrol, don't have any situation, if there are thieves who take advantage of the crowd to create chaos, or take it down, or notify the patrolling Eastern Army, ask them to help!"

"Yes!"

Nodding, Xie An turned around and was about to return to the carriage, but unexpectedly found that there was a group of girls in the distance looking at him intently, and he was stunned and a little funny, looking back at Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li beside him, and said jokingly, "It is said that Jiangnan women are beautiful and beautiful, but Ji Jing is not bad, right?" ――Why don't you take this opportunity to get acquainted with one or two? ”

Ma Dan laughed and said, "The last general already has a family, the kindness of the adults, and the last general's heart!" ――Liao Li and Fei Guo can give it a try! ”

When Fei Guo heard this, he said half-jokingly, "Looking at his clothes, he must be the daughter of the Jijing family, like such a noble person, how can such a reckless man be worthy of such a reckless man?" As he spoke, he paused and wondered, "Speaking of which, this Chaoyang Street will go back and forth more than 100 times in the future, but I have never seen ......."

Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly, "It seems that the daughters of such a family mostly stay in the boudoir of the house on weekdays, and the door is not out of the house, and only on such festivals can they have the opportunity to come out and take a breath...... Seeing them, the official has the illusion that he is getting old......"

With Ma Dan acquainting and smiling, Liao Li hugged his fists and said, "Where do adults speak, adults are young and handsome!" ”

"Hey, let's go! - The remaining streets must be inspected one by one, and if something goes wrong, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain! ”

"Yes!"

Under the watchful eyes of the girls on the side of the road in the distance, Xie An got into the carriage and continued to inspect the streets and alleys of Jijing, after all, the security during the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival, the sky has been entrusted to his Great Prison Temple and Xun Zheng's Weiwei Temple, the responsibility is heavy, in case something happens during the period, it is not a joke.

Along Chaoyang Street, Zhengyang Street, Fucheng Street, Yong'an Street, Zuo'an Street, You'an Street and other four main streets and twelve secondary streets in Jijing, all went around, so that when Xie An returned to the Great Prison Temple at the time of Shen, he was tired and almost unable to stand on his feet.

At this time, it was almost evening, and at this time, Xie An could already pack up his things and go home, but today is different, as one of the important magistrates of the Shangyuan Festival in Jijing, he must be responsible for the security of the capital until the time period before.

Since he couldn't return to his mansion, Xie An thought about playing a few games of chess with Master Kong Wen, but when he walked to the second hall, he was surprised to learn from Zhou Yi that Liang Qiu Gong was actually in the Great Prison Temple right now.

What is that old lady doing in the Great Prison Temple?

Puzzled, Xie An pushed the door and walked into Kong Wen's room, and at a glance saw him and Liang Qiu sitting at the table playing chess.

may have seen Xie An, Kong Wen seemed to have met a savior, and beckoned again and again, "Xiao An, you are here, your grandfather has been waiting for you in the official office for an afternoon!" The grandfather in his mouth is undoubtedly Liang Qiugong.

"Wait for me?" Xie An was stunned, walked over with a surprised face, bowed to Liang Qiugong and Kong Wen, and asked suspiciously, "Why is the old lady looking for a child?" ”

Liang Qiugong smiled slightly, stroked his white beard, and said with a hearty smile, "Don't be busy, you sit down and watch the battle first, how can the old man kill this old horseman and throw away his armor and collapse the army!" - This old horseman, who has played chess for a lifetime, still stinks like this, but it is also an odd number! ”

Kong Wen was furious when he heard this, and scolded, "This mansion is to save face for you!" If this old guy wins against you, you have no face on your face, and you turn around and throw yourself into the river and die, and my niece is angry, and you have to cause the old man to eat a lawsuit, won't the old man be wronged! ”

Oh, good guy, the old man scolds people without dirty words......

Xie An looked at Kong Wen in surprise, and then peeked at Liang Qiugong, but when he saw him, he didn't laugh angrily, "Hey, the old man is still hard-mouthed!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Kong Wen said angrily.

Looking at the fighting spirit of these two gray-bearded old men, Xie An was stunned, but also felt amused in his heart, pulled over a chair, sat and watched the battle, and did not seem to intend to interfere, which made Kong Wen, who was originally a little weak-hearted, glaring frequently.

After half a pillar of incense, unexpectedly, Liang Qiu Gong also won the victory by an overwhelming margin, listening to his smug laughter, Kong Wen stood up and said angrily, "This mansion is unwell today, so I don't care about you!" - Xiao An, entertain Liang Qiugong on behalf of the Mansion, it's time for the old man to water those flowers and plants! ”

"Hey, old horseman, if you lose, you will run away?" Liang Qiugong said with a playful face, but Kong Wen just didn't hear it, and he was angry and walked away.

Watching Kong Wen leave the house with his sleeves brushed, Liang Qiugong shook his head helplessly, and scolded with a smile, "This old guy is still so disrespectful to the old man when he is half-cut into ......the ground."

Seeing that Liang Qiugong and Kong Wen were talking so wantonly, Xie Anxin was a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "The old lady and Master Kong are old acquaintances?" ”

Liang Qiu Gong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Hehehe, I've known each other for more than 20 years, and I accidentally made friends......

"Huh!" Xie An laughed and said apologetically, "Fang Cai."

Listening to Master Kong, the old lady was looking for a little afternoon? A little panic, a little afternoon in the big streets of Jijing to patrol the ......"

"It's okay! ――You are on duty and loyal to your duties, how can the old man blame? ”

Xie Anzhong was a little relieved, after all, Liang Qiu Gong was Liang Qiu Wu's grandfather after all, in front of this elder, Xie An didn't dare to be presumptuous, after thinking about it, he asked respectfully, "The old man is looking for a child, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Liang Qiu Gong sighed slightly when he heard this, and looked at Xie An frequently for a while, then hesitated and said, "Xiao An, your friend...... Are you still in Jijing? ”

To be honest, Xie An was really a little weak by Liang Qiu Gong, and as soon as he heard Liang Qiu Gong's words, he suddenly realized, nodded quickly, and said, "Xiao placed him in the mansion...... Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and there are many soldiers of the Eastern Army patrolling the street, and some of them may recognize him, so please stay in the small mansion temporarily......"

"Well, you're doing a great job!" Liang Qiugong nodded with satisfaction, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he said hesitantly, "Xiao An, the old man is thinking about meeting him and talking about family life, I wonder if you can convey it on your behalf?" -- The old man felt guilty about what happened to that child! ”

"This ......" Xie An looked at Liang Qiugong in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Liang Qiu Gong sighed slightly and said, "He is always the grandson of my Liang Qiu family......

Seeing that Liang Qiugong had said it so bluntly, and there was no one else in the house, Xie An no longer hid it, and said respectfully, "Old lady, I really don't hide it, I also persuaded my eldest brother when I was young, but my eldest brother said that he had no face to meet......

"Nonsense! ――How do you see each other without face? Liang Qiu Gong frowned when he heard this, opened his mouth, and said with a long sigh, "Go back and tell him for the old man, although he has committed all kinds of crimes, even if the old man desperately gives up this official uniform and this old life, he will plead with His Majesty to save his life......

It's hard to say......

Your grandson is now the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army!

Xie An muttered in his heart secretly, there were some things, he didn't tell Liang Qiu Gong and Liang Qiu Wu's ancestors and grandchildren, after all, it was too involved.

Peeking at it, seeing Liang Qiugong's face full of vicissitudes, Xie Anxin was also a little unbearable, and said tentatively, "Why don't you talk to your uncle about this later?" ――Tonight's Lantern Festival, can you dance in the Donggong Mansion? ”

Liang Qiu Wu nodded when he heard this, stroked his beard and thought, "That boy is the same as you, this lantern festival needs to lead the soldiers of the Eastern Army to patrol the streets of Jijing, and he is not in the house...... It's okay if this child isn't there, according to her unrelenting personality, if she is, it's a bad thing! - In this way, the old man prepares a banquet in the house tonight, and you tell him for the old man, and say, please go to the Donggong Mansion to have a drink with the old man, and the old man promises that he will not force him during the period, whether the child wants to be Liang Qiuhao or Chen Bei, the old man will never interfere! ”

"That's ......" Xie An thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Go back and persuade the eldest brother, please be sure to go to the Donggong Mansion to drink with the old lady, but ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Liang Qiugong hesitantly, and whispered, "The eldest brother is a genius in the world, although no one teaches martial arts, but the strength is above the dance, the old lady must not ......"

Liang Qiugong was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and scolded with a smile, "Little rabbit, don't you still believe the old man?" ”

"No, isn't it ......" Xie An shook his head again and again, explaining, "It's just that the eldest brother experienced such an encounter back then, and he was sick in his heart, and occasionally had a short temper...... "As he spoke, he explained Chen Bei's situation to Liang Qiugong.

"I see...... Liang Qiugong suddenly realized, nodded and said, "The old man remembers!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xie An deeply, smiled meaningfully, and said, "By the way, the old man is thinking about the marriage between you and the child of Wuna, and the old man is thinking about setting it on the auspicious day of the fourth day of the second lunar month, and then you and her will sum it up, if there is no mistake, the two of you will get married as soon as possible, and it will save some people from gossiping behind their backs...... These days, the old man heard a lot of rumors, yesterday to the palace, His Majesty also made fun of this matter, in the long run, the old man's old face can't hang up! ”

Xie An's face turned slightly red when he heard this, after all, the things he did with Liang Qiuwu were indeed not justified, and it was also in Da Zhou, how could there be any such thing as sleeping with someone's granddaughter before they got married? And more than once or twice......

Seeing Xie An's embarrassment, Liang Qiuwu didn't say anything more, smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Okay, the old man will go back to the house first, you are a good errand boy, Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, this is a great honor, don't live up to Your Majesty's kindness!" -- At present, there are 20,000 soldiers of our Eastern Army patrolling the city, if there is anything abnormal, you can ask for help, don't be reckless, the old man has heard that there are many thieves lurking in the city! As he spoke, he patted Xie An on the shoulder.

Xie An was a little flattered, and respectfully sent Liang Qiu Gong to the gate of the official office of the Great Prison Temple.

An hour later, Xie An returned to his mansion and told Chen Bei about it.

As Xie An expected, Chen Bei's reaction was a little resistant, and he looked at Xie An with some suspicion and said, "Brother will say about brother?" ”

"How can you!" Xie An hurriedly defended, "Little brother didn't say a word...... Uncle, think about it, if others can't recognize you, will the old lady still not recognize you? ”

"Hmm!" Chen Bei nodded slightly, after all, he also remembered that when he happened to meet Liang Qiugong a few days ago, Liang Qiugong had inexplicably asked him about the number of brocade fish in the fish pond of Donggong's Mansion.

But when he thought of going to see this grandfather who had been absent for nearly 20 years, even if it was Chen Bei, he somewhat retreated.

Seeing this, Xie An persuaded on the side, "The old lady promised, he just wants to meet the eldest brother, have a drink with the eldest brother, and talk about the events of the year, and will never embarrass the eldest brother......"

"Hmm...... What about cousins? ”

"Oh, Wu wants to assist my Great Prison Temple to maintain order in Jijing, in case someone takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and then I have to go to the palace for a banquet, and I am not in the Donggong Mansion before......"

"That's ......" Chen Bei nodded slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said hesitantly, "According to my brother's opinion, should I go for my brother?" ”

Seeing Chen Bei asking himself, Xie An's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That's natural!" - Liang Qiu Gong is always the grandfather of the eldest brother, as the saying goes, the next generation is the most blind date, better than the father, how can he harm the eldest brother? - Anyway, the old lady promised not to interfere in the affairs of the eldest brother, if the eldest brother should go to see his old man's house, after all, the old lady is over sixty years old, and time is running out, if the eldest brother shirks it today, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future...... One day, the old lady will be gone, and at that time, the eldest brother will regret it, and I am afraid it will be useless! ”

"......" Chen Bei thought for a while when he heard this, nodded and said, "Brother is right!" - In this way, I will help you take the woman from the eldest grandson's family out, and go to the Donggong Mansion for my brother......" Speaking of this, he looked at Xie An as if he had thought of something.

As if wearing Chen Bei's thoughts, Xie An smiled and hurriedly said, "Eldest grandson Xiangyu, the dance is ...... knowing."

"What about Jin Ling'er?" Chen Bei asked lightly.

"Well...... this" Scratching his head, Xie An's head gradually sweated.

Looking at Xie An and shaking his head slightly, Chen Bei said helplessly, "It's almost time, let's go!" - By the way, when my brother is not there, you can ask Fei Guo to be the guard, he ...... This person is strong in martial arts, and he can protect the two of you! ”

Xie An obviously heard Chen Bei's pause in his words, and knew what it meant, but he didn't say it, after all, although Chen Bei was quite close to him at the moment, there were some things that were still inconvenient to disclose.

Around the time of Shen Shi, when Xie An, Chen Bei and Fei Guo sneaked to the mansion of the eldest grandson Jing, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was already ready.

Today, she put on a luxurious men's dress, dressed as a brother of a family, and in order to hide people's eyes, she also put on a wide coat, as long as there is no mistake, others will never recognize it.

I have to say that with Chen Bei and Fei Guo's martial arts, it is simply effortless to smuggle Changsun Xiangyu out of Changsun Mansion.

It's no wonder, after all, one of the people who assisted Xie An in doing such a stealing thing was the commander of the Taiping Army, and the other was one of the six generals of the Taiping Army.

Afterwards, Chen Bei went straight to the Donggong Mansion, and before leaving, he secretly instructed Fei Guozhao Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

And just when Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu sneaked out of the back door of the eldest grandson's house, in front of the eldest grandson's house, an extremely distinguished guest was ushered in...... (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
