Chapter Eighty-Three: Preparing for the New Year

Qingquan Villa was guarded by people all around, and Chu Heng couldn't get too close.

Situ Haoyang's side has never had an order to let him withdraw, so he can only continue to exercise the task of protecting Su Tanxue from afar.

On this day, I saw a carrier pigeon flying outside, and I wanted to wait for the carrier pigeon to come out and intercept it to see what the news was, but I waited for a long time and did not see it.

Therefore, they can only continue to hide and dare not move.

Su Tanxue often has pen and paper at hand, so when she wants to write something, she naturally picks up the pen.

Who ever wanted to pick up the pen at the moment, just like Gu Qingyan, he didn't know what to write for a while.

After thinking quietly for a while, isn't it good that I am so active, and I hesitantly put down the pen.

Guo'er entered the house, saw Su Tanxue in a daze, and stepped forward to ask, "What is on the girl's mind?"

Su Tanxue shook her head gently, but asked Guo'er, "Guo'er, have you ever written a letter to others?"

"Write a letter? No. ”

Guo'er was in this villa when she was a child, and her parents turned out to be subordinates here, so she didn't have to write letters or anything.

"Ah, okay."

Su Tanxue looked at Guo'er's innocent appearance, and also knew that the "others" that Guo'er understood and the "others" she said were two different things.

Thinking about it like this, she suddenly remembered Su Xin beside Gu Qingyan, that girl was clever, Gu Qingyan said a word, and Su Xin could understand the meaning of the words.

Look at Guo'er again, it is not a bad side to lack this cleverness, at least Su Tanxue can hide the little secret in her heart.

Seeing that Guo'er wanted to add fragrance to herself, Su Tanxue sniffed the incense box first, and when she came back, her spice was gradually replaced by the one that Han Yan bought in the town.

The fragrance is faint, just like the fragrance of the spring flowers when they first bloom, not strong, refreshing.

"Guo'er, give me the incense first."

Su Tanxue said that she had an idea in her mind, she wanted to mix the old and new incense together, but she didn't know if it was feasible or not.

After all, the original old incense has the smell of her attachment, but she can't bear to let Hanyan and them worry too much about themselves.

Guo'er obediently took the spices, put them in front of Su Tanxue, and then stepped aside.

I saw that Su Tanxue also took the old incense, took out a little from each of the two boxes with a incense spoon, and put it in the wooden dish in front of him.

The first time I tried it, I always felt that the two spices were mixed together, and the taste became weird.

Sniffing it lightly, as if tasting a bitter taste, he frowned slightly, and poured the discarded incense powder aside.

Wiped the wooden dish, the test of the amount of two incense powders.

Guo'er can see clearly what her girl is going to do, and she is not good enough to stop it directly, and she is afraid that if these two incense powders are fused, something will happen.

So he asked Su Tanxue softly: "Girl, is there anything wrong with this?"

It's okay that Guo'er didn't remind him, but when he reminded him, Su Tanxue reacted.

looked at the desktop in front of him, which was already a mess, and he was still not a person in this area after all, and sighed lightly.

"That's it, use Brother Yan to send it during the day, and burn the original one in the middle at night."

Guo'er didn't think much else, just respected Su Tanxue's instructions, and just listened to her arrangement.

It is said that the days of quiet years are like flowing water, and this time it is the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Gu Qingyan opened her eyes in a daze in a noise, she really didn't want to get up, so she pulled the quilt to cover herself.

"Master, master." Just about to fall asleep again, Su Xin screamed, and Gu Qingyan woke up again.

replied angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

"Master, I don't know if the valley lord said that King Yu sent something, let you go and pick it up."

Su Xin didn't want to disturb Gu Qingyan's good sleep, but early this morning, the person who sent the things to King Yu arrived.

After all, most of the things were said to be for Gu Qingyan, and Xu Shaolin couldn't accept it for Gu Qingyan, so he had to ask people to come to the Pure Heart Courtyard to call Gu Qingyan.

"Got it." Gu Qingyan suppressed her temper, lifted the quilt and got up, thinking that if there was nothing good, she would not be able to spare King Yu when she turned back.

By Su Xin dressed herself, when she came to Juxian Pavilion, it had been half an hour since Su Xin called her.

Entering the Juxian Pavilion with a cold face, when passing by the gift-giving guards, Yu Guang glanced at it coldly, which made the man shudder inadvertently.

Walking in front of Xu Shaolin, Gu Qingyan saluted obediently: "Big brother." ”

Xu Shaolin looked at her look of "don't mess with me" without waking up, and could only pray silently for the visitor, and the gift she sent was in line with Gu Qingyan's heart.

The guard saw Gu Qingyan turn around and sit down after saluting, and he was also busy saluting: "I've seen the four girls." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan replied unexpectedly.

The guards could only stubbornly go down, and they were cautious in their words, even if they didn't say anything about the little aunt and grandmother who was in the New Year's Pass.

He didn't know that it was too late to think about it.

"My subordinates were ordered by Prince Yu to give gifts to the four girls." As he spoke, he brought all the gifts.

Gu Qingyan stretched out his head and looked, there were no more gold and silver jewelry on the left side of his head, those on his ears, those on his neck, those on his wrists, those on his waist, and one or two masks, which were fully prepared.

The silk silk in the middle was still like that, and there were some strange small containers in the back, which aroused Gu Qingyan's curiosity.

I got up and walked straight there, picked up a small gourd bottle, shook it gently, felt that it was filled with liquid, and asked the guard, "What are these?" ”

The guard said: "Back to the fourth girl, this is some medicine collected by the prince, and the prince said that it may be useful for the girl." ”

As soon as she said this, Gu Qingyan was slightly stunned, and then she understood that it was not easy to say that it was a poison that she got out of nowhere, otherwise it would be good to give ordinary medicinal materials directly to Zong Yue, and only poison would be sent to her.

In addition to being in the fiefdom, King Yu usually walks around various small countries, and can collect a lot of poisons from all over the world to Gu Qingyan, which still makes Gu Qingyan happy.

The unhappiness when he got up was slightly alleviated, and Xu Shaolin also smiled silently. Their temper is really easy to settle.

After checking the gifts, Gu Qingyan asked Su Xin to write them down one by one, and they were all stored in the west wing room where people moved back to the Pure Heart Courtyard.

"Yuwang didn't send anything else?" Gu Qingyan asked, this can't just be given to her, not to Peach Blossom Stream.

Xu Shaolin came out of the round: "The people who gave the peach blossom stream have already been moved." After talking to Gu Qingyan here, he turned his head to the guards and said, "There's nothing else to do, I'm tired." ”

"Then the subordinate retired."

After saying that the guard left, Gu Qingyan sat back on the chair and continued to be sleepy, accidentally yawning, and hurriedly covered it with his sleeve.

Xu Shaolin said: "I'm really sleepy, go back and sleep for a while." ”

Gu Qingyan shook his head, got up and dressed again, and it was troublesome to lie back again.

"Is the second brother out of the customs?" Gu Qingyan asked.

"Not yet, Nanke has already returned." Xu Shaolin said that there would be a lot of things to deal with on this day, so he simply stayed in Juxian Pavilion and came here to report everything he had.

Gu Qingyan didn't have anything important to do now, and stayed here to talk to Xu Shaolin: "How does the eldest brother arrange their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Dongli?" I asked Beiming, and he seemed to want to go back to Shimen to meet his brothers. ”

Xu Shaolin thought about it, the four of them follow them all year round, and the brothers don't have much time to get together.

"Let them be together, lest they be with us, and they must not be restrained."

"Thank you, big brother."

Co-authored Gu Qingyan, this is for them to ask for this holiday.

Xu Shaolin smiled, afraid that Gu Qingyan would be bored, so he found a few things for her to do: "It's okay to be idle, how many things will you do for me?" ”

"Okay." Gu Qingyan readily agreed at this time.

"First, go and see when your second brother will come out today, and then call the third brother over, it's time to treat the people in our respective courtyards."

"Second, after the reward, go to the kitchen for me to confirm today's banquet for the last time."

"Third, work with the third child to confirm the fireworks that may be set off today, as well as the lights that everyone wants to put on."

"In the end, even if it is the New Year, the guards in the valley must not be relaxed."

After explaining Gu Qingyan one by one, Xu Shaolin looked at Gu Qingyan and nodded again and again, just like watching a child try to participate in the fun.

For Gu Qingyan, these things may be a kind of entertainment.

Gu Qingyan quickly wrote down these four things, and then said, "After doing this, I'll go to the other courtyard to find my father and mother, and then come over for dinner with them, okay?" ”

"That's nature."

After Xu Shaolin finished speaking, Gu Qingyan took the corner of her skirt and trotted to Baicaotang.

Nan Ke was still guarding in the courtyard of Baicaotang, and when he saw Gu Qingyan jumping over happily, he also smiled and asked An to salute: "See the fourth girl." ”

Gu Qingyan stopped and asked Nan Ke: "Has the second brother come out?" ”

Nan Ke shook his head: "Not yet, but it should be soon." ”

"Okay then." Gu Qingyan said, sitting under the fence in front of the door, she was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.

Nan Ke was glad that it was warm under the fence of Baicaotang, otherwise it would not be good if this little aunt and grandmother were frozen here.

"Is it going well to send Yiyi back?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Nan Ke replied: "Everything is fine, I agreed that Yiyi will come back after fifteen." ”

"Well, it's a complete fit."

Nan Ke accompanied Gu Qingyan to chat, and after a while, there was movement in the house, Zong Yue finally opened the door, saw Gu Qingyan sitting under the railing, and asked her, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Gu Qingyan got up, patted his body, and said with a smile: "It was the eldest brother who asked me to come, and asked you to go to Juxian Pavilion with the third brother." ”

"How long have you been here? Is it cold? Zong Yue asked.

Gu Qingyan's temper in the morning had already dissipated, and the rest was always happy: "It didn't take long for a few days to chat, and it wasn't cold." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and pulled Lazongyue: "Second brother, let's go quickly, go to the third brother." ”

"Okay, okay." Zong Yue didn't know why Gu Qingyan was so happy today, so he just let her go with the flow.

When he arrived at Baili Mo's Yunlan Courtyard, seeing that Bai Limo was practicing, Gu Qingyan didn't say a word, interrupted Bai Li, and pulled him to Juxian Pavilion.

On the way, Bailimo couldn't help but ask: "Girl, why are you so happy today?" ”

Gu Qingyan turned his head and smiled: "Shouldn't you be happy during the holidays?" ”

There is nothing wrong with what he said, it makes sense, Zong Yue and Baili Mo can only nod silently.

When the four of them gathered in Juxian Pavilion, Xu Shaolin asked Dongli to call the main characters of the four courtyards here.

There are the East Fence and Qiu Steward of Qiwu Temple, the Nanke of Baicaotang, the West Decision and Qinxin of Yunlan Temple, and the Beiming and Suxin of Jingxin Temple.

Three people on one side and seven people on the other stood in two rows.

Xu Shaolin said: "This year, everyone has bothered about various yards. Each of the four of us has prepared a small gift for everyone, I hope that we will go well in the coming year, and I wish you all the best. ”

"Thank you for the valley master, thank you for the master." Seven people in unison.

Then Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue, Bailimo, and Gu Qingyan respectively sent their own prepared gifts one by one, and after a round of rewards, these seven people had a lot in their hands.

"And." Xu Shaolin said, glancing at Gu Qingyan, "At the request of everyone's four girls, Dongli, Nanke, Xidu, and Beiming." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"I don't need you to wait with you today, you want the four of you to get together alone or go back to Shimen with your brothers, you decide for yourself."

The four of them glanced at each other: "Master Xie Gu, Master Xie." ”

This sentence called Gu Qingyan "master", and he knew where they would go today.

"The rest of you, too, don't have to be close to you all the time today, just go to your companions during the dinner party."

"Yes."

Everyone responded, and then retreated one after another, Gu Qingyan's first little thing was declared complete!
