Chapter 210
Zhao Zhao shuttled through the lights of thousands of homes with his subordinates, without stopping for a moment, holding a small statue quickly copied by the military Chinese personnel and shuttling through the crowd.
The streets and alleys were full of the cries of selling sugar gourd buns and rice cakes, and wisps of smoke and fire that rose up with the action of the store lifting the steamer hit the faces of Zhao Zhao and others, warm.
But when it was blown by the cold wind, it soon became cold.
Countless people sang and laughed, saying good New Year to each other, and many people wondered whether there would be squirrel osmanthus fish in the palace this year, whether there would be boiling water cabbage, whether there was blanched dried silk, and the ladies in the palace should be dressed up very beautifully.
After this New Year, the dress of the ladies will set off a craze in the capital.
But they didn't know that the palace was not as lively as they imagined at this time, and the palace was as cold as an ice cellar at this time.
A tall red palace wall separates half of the city.
People in the palace want to go out, and people outside the palace want to come in.
The nobleman looked up at the goose feathers and heavy snow floating in the sky, the news of Mei Guifei's awakening had spread throughout the harem, and Lan Yuan Pavilion was naturally no exception.
Xue Guiren and Ah Xun didn't deliberately inquire, it was true that Lu Huiling of Minghuatang did it intentionally, just to remind her so that she could teach her to prepare early.
The nobles were unmoved, she was already dead, and when she arrived in front of the emperor in a while, she would say what she had rehearsed countless times in her heart, only seeking death, not life.
The next thing has nothing to do with her.
It doesn't matter whether Lu Huiling gets the ending he wants, how Mei Guifei will end, and what kind of image the Celestial Empire will establish in front of all small countries.
The heavy snow fluttered down like catkins, and with the not very deliberate north wind, it blew into the eaves of the Orchid Pavilion and blew to the window of the nobleman.
The nobleman stretched out his hand and pressed his warm hand against the cold glass window, and soon a circle of mist was smeared on the window, and the snowflakes that separated the window from the palm of his hand melted.
"Noble, do you want to eat something more?" Ah Xun bent down and whispered.
The nobles have only eaten a bowl of rice balls today, and in the morning, because they want to pray for blessings, they are not allowed to eat, and they haven't even drunk a sip of tea.
The nobleman shook his head, looking out of the window with empty eyes, his fingers scratching on the glass window one by one, not knowing what he was thinking about, and quickly erased it all.
Through the glass window that has been erased from the fog, the nobles can better see the snow scene outside the window.
She said softly, "Is it snowing in Jingzhou now?" ”
Ah Xun was slightly stunned, she knew that the nobleman was homesick, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the nobleman would be very homesick, but at that time, the family was in Shangjing, and his father would also be invited to the palace to participate in the feast.
Now, she has exchanged her life for the lives of her family, but she can't even see her for the last time.
Ah Xun stood behind Xue Guiren, not knowing what to say to appease her.
"It would have been nice if I hadn't entered the palace at the beginning..."The noble man bent down, put one hand in front of the makeup box, and his head was pillowed, but his eyes were still staring intently at the heavy snow outside the window, thinking back to the carefree days when he was at home in the past.
Ah Xun didn't speak, but her expression was uncontrollable, she followed the nobleman all the way into the palace, and she could know the hard work of the nobleman in this half of her life, I have to say that today is the warmest day in the palace in a few winters.
In the past, I always didn't dare to use up the charcoal fire at one time, let alone burn too much, so I burned a little charcoal fire before going to bed to make myself sleep more comfortably, and I was always careful about eating and wearing, but this is the case, and the nobles are still unwilling to slap anyone.
She said that she owed someone else like this, and she didn't know how to pay it back.
But fortunately, they are all in good health, free of illness and disaster, except for some difficulties in winter, they can still make do.
I have been in the palace for several years, but every day is like the first day, and sometimes when I wake up, I don't know how long I have been asleep, and I think I have slept for several days.
"I was able to survive the winter before... Why is it so hard this year..."The nobleman slowly closed his eyes and rested his head on his folded arms.
Ah Xun stood behind him and covered his mouth, and he couldn't cry anymore.
The nobleman slowly fell asleep, this warm spring-like room is the most suitable for sleeping, why haven't I felt it before...

Liang Lin and Qin Yuandao ran out of the palace without telling everyone, and as soon as they got out of the palace, they galloped to Dali Temple on a fast horse, at this time Shaoqing of Dali Temple was participating in the feast in the palace, and only the master and some small officials were on duty in Dali Temple.
Dali Temple has all the documents and documents of the first 20 years of the Celestial Empire, which must be guarded all the time, and they are not only guarding these cases that cannot speak, but also the past of the Celestial Empire.
The master stood under the eaves and watched the snow, a gust of north wind blew, he sniffed, sneezed, rolled up his sleeves and went back to the study.
In front of his desk is a neatly packed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and behind him are thousands of books.
"Master! Eat dumplings! A little official hurriedly ran over and said to the master with a smile.
The master glanced at him, and then stood up with a smile: "Wait for me, I have a pot of good wine here, and I will definitely drink it with you today!" ”
The little official walked into the house, watched the master rummage around for the pot of good wine, and joked with a smile: "Shaoqing wants to drink some wine on weekdays, but you don't let it, why did you break your vows today?" ”
The master touched the beard under his chin, laughed twice and said, "Lord Shaoqing is young and vigorous, and he drinks and makes mistakes!" ”
Then I didn't know where to pull out a pot of good wine, and judging by the unclear handwriting on the bottle, it was indeed some vintage.
The master's baby was displayed in front of the little official, and he pointed to the pot of wine, and his eyebrows were full of showing off: "Do you know where this wine came from?" ”
The little official shook his head and asked with a smile: "But I don't know which tavern the master got the wine from, and he bluffed me as a coarse man." ”
The master glanced at him, blew his beard and glared: "Scholars, never deceive people!" ”
"But the deceitful is the most of the readers!" The little official wants to contradict the master today, isn't the hard work of this year just to indulge for a while on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the master will not worry much about himself if he wants to come.
The master ignored him, lowered his head to wipe the dust on the wine jug, and kept snorting in amazement, as if he had been coveting this pot of good wine for a long time.
Seeing the master's precious appearance, the little official couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Master, tell me how this wine came from." ”
The master looked at the little official and said mysteriously: "This wine is a bone wine intercepted from Da Liang when the front army was fighting, and the general gave it to me when he saw that I was lame." I've been carrying it with me since I left the army, and it's been 12 years now. Now Da Liang has violated my border again, although it is far away, he will be punished! Even if it is far away, it will be punished! Today, I will use this bone to make wine and sacrifice the souls of the dead heroes of my Heavenly Empire! ”
The more the master spoke, the brighter his eyes became. The little official had heard that his master had joined the army and gone on an expedition, but he had never heard him say that he had such a heroic past.
When the little official was about to ask carefully, another little official hurriedly ran over and said to the master: "Master! Lord Qin and General Liang are here! ”
Which Lord Qin? Which Liang general? The master doesn't need to ask more, it must be Qin Yuandao, who is upright and upright, and the brave and warlike Young General Liang.
When the master heard this, he didn't ask them much why they came here, hurriedly put down the bone wine, and hurried to the front hall.
"Lord Qin, General Liang!" The master could see the shadows of the two from a distance, and he smiled and stepped forward, "Happy New Year!" General Liang is really a rare guest! ”
Liang Lin bowed his hand to the master in return, Qin Yuandao frowned, knowing that he had something important to do, and he didn't want to be polite with him, so he opened his mouth and said: "A few days ago, Yin Qianhu embezzled the case, and this official needs to take a second look at the case. ”
Master was slightly stunned, not understanding what Lord Qin meant, why he wanted to investigate this Zhuang case on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Lord Shaoqing is attending a feast in the palace, do you want to send someone to talk to him?" The master couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know if it was the will of the higher authorities or how, so he had to use this reason to prevaricate.
Qin Yuandao had a solemn expression, looked at the master and said: "The corruption case is suspicious, this official is a servant of the ministry, this case related to officials in the DPRK and China, is this still not allowed to be investigated by this official?" ”
According to what they knew, the young Shaoqing of Dali Temple was pulled up by Lu Gaohong, and if Lord Shaoqing knew, he would definitely tell Lu Gaohong.
And the master in front of him has been a civil official in Dali Temple for ten years, and he will definitely not get involved.
The master looked at Liang Lone, in the past, he was a little soldier who went out with Liang Fengmian, and at that time, he was only half an adult's height, but now he was a head taller than himself, and he was very gratified.
I thought about it left and right, this case in Dali Temple, naturally adults with will and need can see it, Qin Yuandao, as a servant of the ministry, has always been clean and upright, and naturally he will not look at the case because of some private matters.
The master has never been to the court, he doesn't know the disputes in the court, and he doesn't go out of Dali Temple a few times a year, but he has a good impression of the Liang family and the Qin family.
"Yes, yes, naturally, the small ones will be brought to the adults." The master thought about it, so he hurriedly waved his hand and sent a few officials to get the case.
"When it takes some time to get the case, the lord and the general will sit down first, it's windy outside, come in and have a hot drink." The master greeted with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm in trouble." Qin Yuandao and Liang Lin glanced at each other, then relaxed their attitudes and walked in with their master.
Yin Qianhu's embezzlement case was also not long ago, and the little official quickly found it, and hurriedly ran over with the case, Qin Yuandao and Liang Xiao didn't sit for a while, and the case was placed in front of them.
The master smiled and pushed the case in front of the two of them, and said, "It's all here, the lord and the general will watch first, I'll wait out and wait, and call us if necessary." ”
The master has been working in Dali Temple for a long time, so he naturally knows the rules, and it is not good for him to know too much.
As soon as the door of the front hall was closed, Qin Yuandao and Liang Xiao looked down in tacit understanding, and for a while, they only heard the rustling sound of books in the room...
There was heavy snow outside the house, and the master stood outside the door with his sleeves folded, smiling at the heavy snow.
