Lord Zhen is rare and generous, how can he be worthy of his stomach if he doesn't let go of his belly and eat him?

The lights in the Baisheng Building were bright, and the guys who served the dishes were smiling and shuttling through them with plates, and from time to time they joked with several officials and officials.

The officials of the Yamen of Dali Temple are still quite interesting, the key is that compared with the political affairs that other yamen can't understand, some cases are really more exciting than obedient books.

Zhen Shiyuan, who was in the private room upstairs, looked at the few officials in front of him who were not as comfortable as the group of people in the lobby downstairs, sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, you go down to eat!" Don't be here with me, a half-old man. ”

Several officials prevaricated, but they wanted to leave but were a little embarrassed. The Yamen of Dali Temple actually doesn't need to please this Lord Zhen, and this Lord Zhen doesn't have a good character, at least he doesn't do this kind of thing like wearing small shoes. In this case, in fact, it is really not so necessary to accompany Lord Zhen here to drink tea and talk awkwardly, after all, there seems to be nothing to say with Lord Zhen except for the case. But it didn't seem good to go like this, and while everyone was hesitating, someone walked in from outside the door with a basket of packed dried fruit snacks.

It's Mistress Joe.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and an older man said with good eyes: "Master Qiao is here just in time, sit here!" Adults don't eat and drink, so I'll wait until I say that I'm going to stay drunk with you today. ”

What he didn't notice was that after saying the words "don't get drunk and don't return", Zhen Shiyuan on the side suddenly turned his head and glanced at him: Good guy! If you don't get drunk and don't go home, can this group of rabbit cubs know how expensive the drinks in Baishenglou are?

Could it be that this New Year's banquet will lose all the private money he has saved for most of the year! Zhen Shiyuan was worried.

A group of officials who couldn't sit still for a long time saw that Zhen Shiyuan was silent, but when he acquiesced, they hurriedly got up and walked out one after another, and did not forget to greet her when they passed Qiao Ran, who was standing at the door with a basket: "Lord Qiao, let's sit inside!" Those who eat wine outside, there is tea and snacks here. ”

It just so happens that girls don't like to eat and drink, they like tea and snacks, and the same is true for people like Zhen and other old people.

A group of people laughed and walked out of the private room, Qiao Ran shook her head with a smile, walked to the seat opposite Zhen Shiyuan with the basket and sat down.

Zhen Shiyuan glanced at the basket she casually placed on the table: looking at the oil-paper wrapped box, she knew that it contained snacks, and she knew that it was for the sweet-loving little girl at home.

It's better to be a child, someone is worried about getting food! Zhen Shiyuan thought a little unpleasantly.

"How did you get in?" I just want to think about it, I still have to ask, others may not know, but he knows, this girl still drinks well, but it is much more powerful than some fierce people outside but pour a few glasses.

"Don't eat wine, eat tea." The girl smiled and poured herself a cup of tea, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly said, "Pingzhuang didn't come." ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, he only mentioned the matter of Pingzhuang before eating, and it is indeed easy to make people think about it at this time when he didn't come, but this is not a big deal.

"Didn't someone take the talk? Pingzhuang had something to do, so I didn't come. Zhen Shiyuan paused as he spoke, and then continued again, "There are many people who didn't come, not only him, Xie Chengze didn't come or anything." ”

Of course, this is not because one less Pingzhuang can help him spend less, although Pingzhuang can eat a little, but he only eats such a meal all year round, and he will not be seriously happy because he does not come.

This time it's just a New Year's banquet to eat, and there are more important things than eating, what's so strange?

The girl glanced at him and said, "It seems to make some sense." ”

Zhen Shiyuan snorted, picked up the teacup in his hand and raised it to her, taking a sip.

At the New Year's Banquet, he was still here to chat with her about eating tea instead of wine.

The girl is also very happy.

Obviously eating tea but eating wine, Zhen Shiyuan sighed, walked to the window, pushed the window and looked out.

At this time, it was already night, but the night market on Huangtian Road, where Baisheng Building was located, had just torn a bustling opening.

Even in the depths of winter at this time, staying in the house is far warmer than walking on the street, and the prostitutes in the Qinglou opposite are not as cool as they were in spring, summer and autumn, and they are much more conservative. But even so, he still couldn't stand the name of Huang Tiandao, and there were more and more pedestrians passing by, and occasionally a few came to the fame of Yum Building, and when they saw the charter sign standing in front of the building, they couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and then left stupidly.

Zhen Shiyuan looked at the various beings downstairs and was a little embarrassed.

He looked at the end of his vision, fireworks bloomed in the night sky not far away, and he estimated the distance, it should be which one of the Suzaku Fang is setting off fireworks, although I don't know which one is setting off fireworks, many people still stop and stop to watch.

The smell of the New Year is really getting stronger and stronger, and when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Zhen Shiyuan suddenly said: "Speaking of which, this official hasn't spent the New Year in Chang'an City for many years." ”

"Jinling is just as lively!" The girl behind her said.

After all, it is a mansion Yin, not to mention that Jinling is not a poor and remote place, and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is a scenery different from Chang'an.

"It's still good," Zhen Shiyuan nodded and said, "But the official was asleep at that time." Don't look at the appearance of half a bad old man at his moment, before he was demoted out of Beijing, he was also high-spirited, went around and around, went to Jinling, and finally kept his career, but he also knew that if it wasn't for some great chance, he would never have left Jinling in his life.

Therefore, when he was in office at that time, his political achievements were not outstanding, but fortunately, there were no major events in Jinling in those years. Big things are not confused, small things are rarely confused, just live such a mediocre and not faint life.

Jinling is also prosperous, there are also fireworks, and it is also beautiful, but at that time, it seems, I always feel that there is a lack of taste in my heart, and now I think about it carefully, in the end, I am unwilling!

At this time, he has come out of the quagmire of Jinling, and when he thinks back to the past, he always has a sense that things are wrong.

The girl behind him was the one who indirectly took a hand to pull him out of the quagmire, so he took her out of Jinling and brought her to Chang'an, which was both grateful and cherished.

Now that the empress is on the throne, women have more opportunities than before, and only by letting her get close to the Son of Heaven can she be seen by the Son of Heaven, which was his original idea.

Fortunately, she did not disappoint him.

In fact, compared to him, she was not good in Jinling at that time!

Thinking of this, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but turn his head and ask the girl behind him who was looking at the fireworks not far away with him: "...... How was the New Year festival spent in Jinling at that time? ”

Of course, he knew that it was Mrs. Fang who took care of her, but if he thought about it carefully, he had a heart, she was so famous at that time, people were terrible, Mrs. Fang was only taking care of a few dollars in hand, how many times can people come over?

How to celebrate the New Year? This question made Qiao Ran stunned, in her impression, her own New Year's Festival was probably only in her room, watching the memory of the New Year's program on TV alone, and the New Year's Festival felt through the screen was alienated. On the contrary, in the memory of this body itself, there is still a bit of warmth that is different from the past. Hongdou secretly asked a few children in Zhuangzi to ask the children in the village to buy the kind of flower sticks that were held in their hands to play, the simplest ones, but it made the body itself happy for a long time, and even when I thought about it at this time, I still had a feeling of being hot.

"Not bad." The girl smiled, and her eyes fell from the brilliant fireworks in the sky to this yellow sky road, and a shop on the street not far away had already set up a table to sell Spring Festival couplets and Fulu, and there were more tiger heads on the heads of pedestrians and children. The little tiger jumped and jumped with the child's playful running, which was very cute.

According to the calendar of Da Chu, the next year is the Year of the Tiger. It's a good omen for tigers and tigers! Qiao Ran smiled more: Pei Qingqing should be very cute with such a tiger head! You can buy her one and put it on when you go back.

"It's almost half a month before Chinese New Year's Eve," Qiao Ran said and looked at Zhen Shiyuan, casually asking, "I seem to have half a month's vacation!" ”

"There can't be no one in Dali Temple, and it will be on duty when the time comes." Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her and reminded her, "According to your friendship with this official, this official can arrange a 'good' day for you, what do you think of Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Qiao Ran was not afraid at all when she heard this, she only laughed twice, and said, "Then I will bring Pei Qingqing and them to the yamen and go to the canteen to make a cup of food for dinner." ”

Really enjoyed! Zhen Shiyuan sighed, raised his chin, pointed downstairs, and said, "At the moment, everyone has nothing to do, the only one who has something to do is downstairs, and he has already drunk down." ”

Xu Hexiu was the one who didn't drink well and was dragged to drink, and the amount of wine next to him was good, but everyone was worried about the girl, no one pulled her to eat wine, and let her come up to eat tea with him.

Qiao Ran snorted and asked Zhen Shiyuan, "When will the sacrificial ceremony be held?" "The real princess's account office mentioned it before, it happened not long after this time, and she also knew that most of the sacrificial ceremonies would be held at the end of the year, but she didn't know exactly what day.

"The first year of junior high school." Zhen Shiyuan paused as he spoke, and reminded her, "Ask your family Zhang Tianshi about this matter, he is the one who is presiding over the sacrificial ceremony this year." ”

This answer made Qiao Ran feel a little strange: "Why doesn't the Great Heavenly Master preside?" ”

"What his subordinates can do, why should Shangfeng do it himself?" Zhen Shiyuan asked her rhetorically, "It's not a difficult thing, besides, your Zhang Tianshi is so good-looking, can't he do it?" ”

Qiao Ran suddenly said: Sure enough, he still knows Shangfeng best.

Standing by the window for a while, it was a little cold, Zhen Shiyuan stretched out his hand to close the window, and halfway through the close, he remembered that there was still someone watching on the side, so he asked, "Do you still want to watch it?" ”

The girl shook her head.

Zhen Shiyuan snorted, stretched out his hand to close the window, and didn't forget to say to her: "Don't learn from our old sighs when you're young, it's not time yet!" ”

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing when she was about to say something, when a noise suddenly sounded downstairs.

Zhen Shiyuan frowned, muttered a few words, "I guess someone is drunk and crazy" and walked straight to the door, but the person just leaned on the staircase railing and turned back to Qiao Ran and said, "Zhang Tianshi, who is going to preside over the ceremony on the first day of your family's junior high school, came to pick you up." ”

It is not a secret that Dali Temple has chartered Baishenglou today, as long as you have a heart, you can always find here.

Qiao Ran said "oh", lifted the basket and walked out of the private room.

When I got to the staircase, I saw Zhang Xie who was surrounded by a group of officials of Dali Temple in the middle, Xu is a few glasses of wine, and it was not as restrained as in the past, and her group of colleagues were surrounding Zhang Xie at this time to ask him to give an explanation.

"Master Zhang, we all see what you think about our Lord Qiao, but this is not a thing! When will we marry our Lord Qiao and go home! ”

This talented woman is good-looking, and Duoden is the right pair! They also gossip, oh no, it's been more than half a year of hard work.

To a group of half-drunk, Zhang Xie smiled and said, "It's been arranged." ”

"What is the arrangement? When? Some officials grabbed the corners of his clothes and refused to let go, "Zhang Tianshi, how much money are you worth in an empty promise?" That's what the girls who lie outside say, no marriage contract doesn't count! ”

Although they also drank some wine, they were not so drunk, and when they saw that this was not right, they hurriedly grabbed the official and whispered: "Okay, you are drunk, let go of Zhang Tianshi!" ”

"I won't let go!" The official was still yelling, sneezing, and then a handful of snot and tears suddenly shouted, "You sons and brothers are all liars, even Lord Qiao has been deceived by you......"

"Alright, alright!" Several officials on the side hurriedly dragged the official with tears and snot on his face and dragged him down, and explained to Zhang Jie, "Zhang Tianshi, he was drunk like this, the girl he liked before fell in love with someone else, so everyone said this, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Zhang Xie nodded, and his eyes fell on the drunken official who was a little delicate-looking: he remembered that Xu Hexiu once said that there were young officials in Dali Temple who seemed to be interested in Ranran, right?

He's a good person, but he won't give others that chance. Zhang Xie looked up and looked at the girl who was walking down the stairs with a basket.

The girl walked up to him and handed him the basket, turned her head and waved her hand to Zhen Shiyuan, who was leaning on the railing, and then said hello to a few acquaintances in the hall and walked out of Baisheng Building with him.

The next moment, a fox fur fell on her, smelling the familiar sandalwood fragrance on her body, Qiao Ran tied the strap of the fox fur smoothly, and asked him: "Aren't you going to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony?" How do you have time to come? ”

I also know that it is not easy to preside over this kind of national ceremony, you need to prepare in advance, and the day is only half a month before the sacrificial ceremony, and she is prepared that she will not see Zhang Xie for half a month, but she didn't think that he would still appear here at this time.

"No matter how busy I am, it's still okay to take you home." Zhang Xie did not deny presiding over the ceremony, but only stretched out his hand to gather the unfolded fox fur for her, looked into her eyes, and said, "There is some chaos in the city, these days...... I will come to pick you up and go home, and don't forget to take Pei Qingqing with you when you go out, understand? ”
