Chapter 50: New Year
Li Chengqian still failed to go to the palace after all, and stopped him with satisfaction, on the grounds that all this was just speculation by a few people.
But now that the emperor knows all this, it's easy to say, these days, Xiangxin and others have been silently investigating and no longer making noise.
The voice outside the palace about the prince's selection of people through the imperial examination has gradually subsided, the soldiers in the mountains are still training obediently, and the two or three months have made everyone's physical fitness and other aspects have been comprehensively improved, and I am satisfied to see that these energetic soldiers are more and more satisfied, at this time I clapped my hands and said: "Soldiers, the prince has an order, this year is the first New Year for everyone to join the prince's mansion, and the prince's mansion now has no guarding tasks and will not leave you in the camp, and there are three days before the New Year. If you want to go home, just take the money and go home, come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year to continue training, and the brothers who are homeless or single will stay in the camp, and the brothers will celebrate the New Year together, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let people send some wine and food, and be full! ”
Everyone is very happy to shout, although the training in this deep mountain is hard and tired, but it is true that you can eat meat every meal, the snow weather has become cooler these days, and the prey can also be stored for a few days.
The various squad captains in the team have been selected in the continuous battle, and everyone is very grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince, and at this time, after listening to the words of satisfaction, they are ready to pack up their things and go home for the New Year.
Looking at the anxious crowd, they couldn't help but say: "Everyone, listen to it, although this sentence has been said several times, but you must remember that no matter whether you drink or how much you drink after you go back, you are not allowed to talk about things in this mountain, do you hear?" ”
Cheng Chumo on the side also walked over and looked at him and said, "Don't worry, everyone is very familiar with the confidentiality regulations, and there are many brothers left, let them go down with me to carry a few pigs up later?" ”
He nodded and patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder and said, "You can't relax when you come back for training after the New Year, there will be a military parade in a few days, and everyone in the court is waiting to see His Royal Highness the Prince's jokes, we can't embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Cheng Chumo looked at the busy soldiers but said with high spirits: "It's impossible for us to lose, I don't know about other people's soldiers, but my father's soldiers can't be compared with ours at all, just wait for them to see it now!" ”
After nodding his head, he and Xie Ziwen went down the mountain, they did not stop investigating the imperial examination in the past few months, but the more they investigated, the more they felt that this matter was not simple, why did Li Shimin not dare to investigate directly but turned around and asked Li Chengqian to investigate, the people behind the scenes seem to be the officials we can see every day, and it seems that they have never seen it.
Chongwen Hall has become more and more popular in recent months, and many Xiucai from afar have also arrived in Chang'an in order to participate in the Spring Festival, and everyone will not give up the opportunity to listen to the teacher's lectures, so this Chongwen Hall has also changed from one lecture in January to two lectures in January, and the content of the two lectures is the same as that only to allow more people to listen to the lectures.
Xiangxin found that Xie Ziwen was also a little abnormal, always trying to ask for money from himself, asking him what he was doing without saying anything, disappearing for an hour from time to time, and when he came back, he deliberately went to take a bath, and Xiangxin felt more and more uneasy.
Back at home, the red lantern was already hung high, and Li Yulong looked at the satisfaction of returning from going out and greeted him with a smile, "It's all arranged?" Don't you have to go out these days! ”
Satisfied, he scratched Li Yulong's delicate little nose, nodded and said, "Don't go out, I'll be at home with you every day!" ”
Xiangxin glanced at Xie Ziwen, and saw the anxiety in his eyes that would only occur in the past few months, and said with a plan: "Yulong, you call Ziyun those silver two, I want to eat some fried chicken!" ”
Ziyun turned around and went back to the house to get the purse and handed it to Xiangxin, but Xiangxin didn't answer, "Brother Xie, you've worked hard for a trip, remember to let them fry it a little crisper!" ”
Xie Ziwen smiled, took the purse and ran outside, Ziyun looked at Xie Ziwen who was leaving, and nodded towards satisfaction and followed.
Although Li Yulong knew the calculation of the heart, he still asked cautiously: "Is there really a problem with Xie Ziwen?" ”
He shook his head helplessly and said, "I still believe in Brother Xie's character, but he has always disappeared suddenly recently, don't you think it's strange?" When I asked him where he was going, he was still hesitant, and once I said that he had a strange smell on his body, and that he had to take a shower and change his clothes when he came back after that beating, and he didn't know what he was hiding! ”
Li Yulong also sighed, "Brother Xie gets along with us day and night, I really don't want him to have any problems!" ”
Chengxin grabbed Li Yulong's shoulder and walked towards the house, "It's okay, Ziyun will come back in a while and tell us Xie Ziwen to go, after I want to know where he goes, he shouldn't be able to hide it anymore!" ”
Ziyun was discharged from the hospital, and Xie Ziwen's figure disappeared into the crowd, but fortunately, he had already done something to the purse, and following the smell of the purse, he could also find Xie Ziwen's figure.
After turning over the streets, disturbing the stalls one by one, the clue was finally broken in a pavilion.
Ziyun looked up but couldn't help blushing, and after scolding secretly in his heart, he walked back.
But unexpectedly, Xie Ziwen was already in the courtyard when Ziyun came back, and at this time, Xiangxin was also eating the fried chicken wings, and when he saw the three of them in Ziyun, he didn't hide it and went over directly and said: "Miss, aunt, slave and maid have already found out, Xie Ziwen went to the Changge Fang!" ”
Xie Ziwen on the side was still a little absent-minded, and when he heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Chengxin and said, "Chengxin, you sent someone to follow me?" How could I not be aware of it! ”
Xiangxin looked at Xie Ziwen while eating fried chicken and said: "Ziyun has no martial arts and now follows you, you can't gap, think about what you've done during this time, won't I doubt you?" Let's talk about it, what did you do when you went to Changgefang, it's not so fast, right? ”
Xie Ziwen couldn't help blushing when he looked very honest and satisfied, and then said carefully: "When you asked me to investigate the matter between Changgefang and His Royal Highness the Prince, I became attached to a woman who thought I would, and then recently gave her the silver, I hope she can live a better life!" ”
Xiangxin couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You went to the Qinglou, people are doing business, how can you still meet such an innocent species, don't you want to do anything more when you give money, and you say it so elegantly!" ”
Xie Ziwen raised his head and said quite confidently: "You are wrong, I fell in love with Miss Liu at first sight, and Miss Liu was still a virgin on the day we got married, and she was definitely not those Qinglou women!" ”
Only then did he suddenly realize, "So, what did you give to a woman who doesn't sell her body, and then you want to spend money to compensate others, right, did they agree?" No, let's redeem her, if you marry her, won't it be over if you marry her! ”
Xie Ziwen's face was a little unpleasant, and he scratched his head and said, "I haven't spoken anything to her since that fight, and she only said one word when she saw me!" ”
Li Yulong is also full of spirit, this kind of story is not the ordinary words that can be heard instinctively: "What words! Sigh? Ay? ”
Satisfaction is also very curious, "Don't let me guess first, is it possible, evil?" ”
Xie Ziwen blushed and shook his head and said, "She just told me to get out!" ”
Xiangxin couldn't help laughing, Li Yulong also blushed, and Xiangxin hurriedly said: "This shows that people are not interesting to you, you should take a break early, waste money and time, don't waste your feelings!" ”
Xie Ziwen said nonchalantly: "I shouldn't like someone else anymore in my life, since she doesn't like me, then I will treat her better, and she can live better without me in the future!" ”
Xie Ziwen, who looked at him with a bitter and hateful face, couldn't help but comfort: "There are still many good girls in this world, you don't have to hang yourself on a tree, look at our Ziyun, and then look at Xiaocui in the house, they are all rare good girls, why bother!" ”
Li Yulong also mixed in on the side and said: "That's it, let's Brother Xie's skills are afraid that he won't find a wife!" Sister Crown Princess has returned to the palace in the past few days, otherwise I will ask her to introduce you, there will definitely be something you like! ”
Xie Ziwen shook his head, wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and said: "No way, you don't understand, since I told you today, it's okay, if I'm not there in the future, you can also help me take care of Miss Liu!" ”
Hearing the meaning of the words, he was a little surprised: "Brother Xie, where did you say this, could it be that an enemy came to the door?" ”
Xie Ziwen didn't want to say more, waved his hand and went down, looking at the figure of Xie Ziwen who was far away, he also muttered in his heart.
The atmosphere in the courtyard has not changed because of the argument between Xie Ziwen and Xiangxin, and the appearance of Zhang Lantern is so festive, and he is also looking forward to the first New Year belonging to Datang.
For several days in a row, the courtyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, beaming from top to bottom, and asked Li Yulong on the side with some puzzlement, "Today is the Chinese New Year, why are you so happy these days!" ”
Li Yulong also smiled, and said while eating peanuts: "Aren't you happy? They are happy because they are going to get a reward, our house has made a lot of money this year, and the reward is naturally indispensable to theirs, everyone is rewarded for an extra month, don't you know? ”
Satisfied, he nodded, and said with some puzzlement: "Are you so happy to take an extra month's regular money?" We're usually nice to them, is it necessary? ”
Li Yulong couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Do you understand this called the atmosphere, if your family has a bitter face during the New Year, will you be happy?" This is an unwritten rule, people have to laugh every festival, so that the host family is happy, and they can get the reward, which they don't know how to be the master of the house! ”
Xiangxin also blushed a little when she heard this, and couldn't help but pull Li Yulong's ear and said, "Go, come with me to find your father to pay New Year's greetings!" ”
