Chapter 142: New Year, New Beginning

Xu Qingling looked extremely happy, and stepped forward and said, "Madam, let's go to the teahouse in Shilixiang, okay?" ”

"Everything." Bai Yulan didn't want to have anything to do with this person.

On the other hand, Xu Yashi was furious, she grabbed An Ling, and said angrily: "An Ling, you are very kind, if others want to do something, you have to help them." ”

An Ling completely ignored Xu Yashi's attitude, and said: "So I told you, you should marry in the palace with peace of mind, what's wrong with being a princess." ”

Xu Yashi's pretty face was flushed, but she still said in a muffled voice: "Anyway, I still have to follow you." ”

An Ling stepped forward and came together with Bai Yulan and his party, and the people had more to talk about, this little girl who was still a scholar in the Ministry of Rites, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was interested in Jing'anhou, but the flowing water was ruthless.

It's just that I pity the little boy of Anling, who is so pursuing a person who can't ask for it.

Along the way, An Ling was avoiding Xu Yashi's entanglement, and deliberately approached Xu Qingling, Xu Qingling was looking at Ye Mingting with bright eyes, Bai Yulan and Ye Mingting were with Duoduo and Nannan, Ye Mingting's approach to Xu Qingling was ignored, but Bai Yulan was very troubled by the situation of this group of people.

After exchanging a few words with Bai Yulan, Xu Qingling finally showed his fox tail and said: "It is said that Hou Ye has learned all the six arts, and I admire it very much. ”

"Rough and reckless, not good at it." Ye Mingting said perfunctorily.

Bai Yulan secretly said that this guy is in front of him, and he always shows off that he is strong in everything he does.

At the Six Arts Banquet, his talent was clearly notarized by everyone, and this time he said it like this, it was really, casually, talking nonsense with his eyes open, and not making drafts.

Xu Qingling was hit by a wall like this, her face stiffened for a moment, and the next moment, she immediately changed her expression, and said softly: "Hou Ye's wisdom in winning a hundred battles has always been admired by our people in the capital. ”

Ye Mingting's attitude was indifferent, he just nodded perfunctorily and did not say a word.

Although Ye Mingting obviously didn't like her very much, and didn't even say a few words, Xu Qingling was still trying to find a topic.

This made Bai Yulan couldn't help but admire this person's determination.

However, Duoduo and Nannan are very dissatisfied, and the entertainment between adults seems a bit boring and boring for them, so they naturally don't want to stay here anymore.

"Mother, you've been here for a long time, and you want to go out to play." Nan Nan suddenly pulled Bai Yulan's sleeve and said coquettishly.

And Ye Mingting didn't plan to ask Bai Yulan's opinion now, he directly signaled her with his eyes, and said directly to Xu Qingling: "We have been here for a long time, and we also said before to sit for a while, madam, the child still has some places to play, can you go?" ”

From beginning to end, when he spoke, he didn't bother to glance at Xu Qingling.

Although what he said was an inquiry, there was no refusal between the words, and Bai Yulan naturally couldn't refute his thoughts.

"Then, two Miss Xu, An Ling, let's leave first, you guys have a good time." Bai Yulan said with a smile.

Xu Qingling was a little obviously disappointed, but in order not to lose his identity, he still didn't say anything after all, so he calmly responded.

An Ling, on the other hand, looked depressed, and looked at Bai Yulan with some reluctance, but was forced back by Ye Mingting's cold glance.

After a few people left the teahouse, there was a lot of noise inside, and it was Xu Yashi's voice the whole time, while Xu Qingling was quiet on the side and didn't speak.

The place where Duoduo and Nannan play is not far away, after all, there is not necessarily much in this capital, and there are not many places for children to play in ancient times.

It wasn't until Bai Yulan had a whim that she pulled several people to a small river that was usually shallow, and now the river was frozen and very strong, so several people skated and played on it together.

Before there were no entertainment projects before, Bai Yulan took her children alone, and her favorite thing was to go skiing and ice skating in winter.

After that, Ye Mingting took Duoduo to play for a while, and he saw some gadgets on the way, and they all bought them back, and even saw that Mr. Yi's puppet show was very interesting, and he also bought a puppet show device, and let the guards move back to the mansion.

At night, Bai Yulan manipulated the puppet show and acted in a book, which coaxed the two children to sleep.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind his back, pressed it behind the painting, lowered his voice, and said: "It is estimated that Duoduo and Nannan are as different from other children, and they were also taught by Mrs. ”

"Those who tell lies will become Pinocchio, and in the end they will be stretched by the gods." The man spoke, slowly read out her previous lines, and said: "However, people who are destined to be rich and noble in the future always have to talk about people and talk nonsense when they see ghosts." ”

The man smiled and took Bai Yulan over, and said, "It's better to let me teach the children, how sinister officialdom is, everyone is self-interested, to achieve their own goals and protect what they want to protect, they must do whatever it takes." ”

Although Bai Yulan knew that this was indeed the truth, she couldn't agree.

"If you teach it, the children will definitely teach it badly." She sneered.

However, this is also true, not to mention ...... Ye Mingting's identity......

She lightly covered the two children with the quilt, closed the door quietly, and then quietly left.

In the capital, it has always been on New Year's Eve, not only the Marquis of Jing'an, but also many other big officials, will also set off fireworks.

Ye Mingting accompanied Bai Yulan on New Year's Eve, he only wore a single coat, covered with a cloak, in the last lesson of the New Year's Eve, the sky rose with fire trees and silver flowers, and in the lights of ten thousand homes, bunches of fireworks bloomed, it was the sky, and at this time, it was also reflected that the stars could not be seen.

The man gathered the cloak in one hand, and gradually squeezed her hand in the darkness with the other, and said, "Madam, next year, it's a new year." ”

"Hmm."

New year, new beginnings.

Every day after next year, the two will spend it together.

During the New Year's holiday, Bai Yulan found that the entire capital was following the example of the Marquis of Jing'an, and loading bags of New Year's gift money in front of the door, so as to avoid some people from being opportunistic and using New Year's gifts, so that there were all kinds of bribery.

It is reported that after the New Year's Eve, the palace was renovated, and there was another concubine in the palace who was very favored, the old man was replaced by the new, and the bribery of Yunhua Villa was inexplicably solved.

But recently in the capital suddenly began to become popular a kind of colored paper, it is said that it is from the hands of the first talented woman in the capital, it is particularly exquisitely made, divided into four categories: plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, winter, it made plum blossoms dotted red paper.

But seeing a frequent visitor in the house, the wife of the Ministry of Industry and Liu Shao gave Liu Shao a gift, and said: "This Qingling note, my husband has been precious recently, it's not that I'm talkative, I look at it, it's not much different from those famous geisha who do it, but it's just by taking advantage of the fame of this person who makes notepaper, and it spreads a little wider." ”

After turning over this year, Luyi is no longer rejected by the ladies of the capital, and recently, he has slowly become friendly with these ladies, I don't know if it is because Bai Rong has been gaining momentum recently, and there is a tendency to squeeze out the military department.

Lu Yi took it, and after looking at it twice, in line with the partiality of Bai Yulan in his heart, he said: "It's just some paper, I see, she is going to make some Luoyang paper expensive in this crisis-ridden dynasty, and she is not as good as Madame." ”

Lu Yi can understand it in his heart, this Xu Qingling has long admired Jing'anhou, but because of her literati's lofty and arrogant bones, she will definitely not take the initiative to see it, the last time she saw it on the street, it was like hurting lovesickness, in her opinion, if she used to say that she was admired, now when she sees Jing'anhou's skin, I am afraid that the enthusiasm will increase by three points.

Lu Yi pursed her lips disdainfully, and was indignant for Bai Yulan in her heart, fortunately, her Bai Rong is an honest person, and he looks like an honest person, so he will not be evil.

Bai Yulan walked over, took Mrs. Su's jewelry box, and said, "The jewelry that Mrs. asked for before, and I hurried to make it after the New Year, but the employees also have to take a holiday during the New Year, so it's late." ”

"It's okay." Mrs. Su said with a smile, she took Bai Yulan's hand very friendly, and said kindly: "You have to watch Jing Anhou, although this man is not uncommon to accept concubines, but Xu Qingling is inconclusive, and his lofty appearance may enter the mansion, relying on his mother's status, he has to invite you from the position of the master mother." ”

Bai Yulan smiled, knowing that she was kind, so she didn't say anything.

"Madame's kindness, I naturally know."

Bai Yulan took the colored note from Luyi's hand, saw the plum blossoms on it, and used a poem on the small seal book, so he opened his mouth and read softly: "If you want to send the color note and ruler, where do you know where the mountains and rivers are?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a talented girl."

Mrs. Su is already in her forties, and her eldest sons in the mansion have already married wives, at this moment, he said with a dissatisfied face: "It's a little literary talent, but it's just that the eyes are too high, such a tall woman, we ordinary people, can be regarded as untouchable." ”

"This poem, that is also written by a famous poet in the past, if you really want to say that it is a talented girl, this Hui Dynasty has been in the capital for a hundred years, and there is only one, that is, the daughter of the Su family back then, the princess of the former dynasty, at that time, the crown covered the capital, and how many royal families and sons rushed to chase after it, but it is a pity that after all, she was so young, and she died early." Mrs. Su sighed.

"Now this Xu Qingling is just learning from the same."

Bai Yulan declined to comment on this comment.

However, thinking of the crown princess who died early, her blind mother-in-law, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, it turned out to be those talented people, who were swarming towards the Red Mansion, it is said that it was Xu Qingling and the Geisha of the Qinglou War Poems, and the Geisha was also a famous person, this time the two of them together, although their identities were different, but the people of the Hui Dynasty did not care much about these.
