Feng Yan's heartbeat involuntarily pounded faster, the roots of his ears were slightly hot, and he could barely look directly at her big eyes like a mirror, and couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on her small hand holding the tea cup.

Her little hands were white and tender, and the scallop-like nails were powdered like petals.

Feng Yan's eyes were almost straight, and his heart was itchy, as if he was enchanted, he raised his hand and touched her hand......

When his fingertips touched the back of her soft and delicate hand, he suddenly shook, raised his eyes to Duanmufei's big eyes, which seemed to be a little confused, and the roots of his ears became even hotter......

"Gollum, Gollum......"

He gulped down the warm tea in the cup, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, only to feel that the outside of the teacup seemed to have residual warmth on Duanmufei's hand...... And this teacup is also her lips!

Thinking of this, Feng Yan suddenly felt that the teacup in his hand was extremely hot, and the roots of his ears were even hotter, so he picked up the teacup of his own and drank it all with his head up.

Duanmu Fei just watched his tea being "snatched" by Feng Yan, dumbfounded, I don't know what stimulated Feng Yan, or is it just because he was too thirsty?

But......

This is the tea cup she has drunk!

Thinking about it, Duanmufei's mood was indescribably subtle, and her big eyes couldn't help but widen.

After pouring two cups of flower tea into his abdomen in a row, Feng Yan finally calmed down again, looked at Duanmu Fei calmly, and said, "Zhen...... You can rest assured. The emperor will not let me leave the capital for several years. ”

He looked at Duanmu Fei's eyes with burning eyes, his gaze did not dare to move down, and a trace of expectation appeared in his heart, waiting for her to care about himself a few more words.

Duanmu Fei was furious by his deep dark eyes, like a frightened butterfly, his eyelashes half-drooped, and his thoughts turned as fast as the fluttering eyelashes: Since Feng Yan knew that the emperor would not let him leave the capital and acted like this in the Weiguo Mansion yesterday, he must have another intention, and the new king of Beiyan's accession to the throne came so "timely", could it be that Feng Yan had already gotten the news? What is he plotting......

No, no, no! Call it a day!

Seeing that his mind was about to get out of control like a wild horse, Duanmu Fei hurriedly stopped, his brain was empty, and he casually took a brand-new tea cup on the side, intending to pour himself a cup of flower tea again.

Feng Yan remembered what he had just done, and hurriedly picked up the teapot again and poured tea for Duanmufei.

Duanmu Fei looked at him with a little caution, lest he come to snatch her tea again.

Feng Yan was stared at by her "scorching" eyes, and almost didn't know where to put his hands and feet, but fortunately, at this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums from the stage below.

With a few deafening gongs of "bell bell", the show begins!

Jiusiban is a new play this season, called "The Bright Moon in the Sky", which tells the story of a young Zhao Gongzi, whose biological father Zhao Wang was killed by his uncle, and Zhao Gongzi was fortunate to have the help of people with lofty ideals and fled to the neighboring country of Qi. Twenty years later, when Zhao Gongzi grew up, he married the daughter of the king of Qi as his wife, borrowed 200,000 soldiers, killed Zhao State, and finally killed his uncle and ascended to the throne.

Today's singing is the third fold of the whole play, it is that Zhao Gongzi borrowed the army, led the army back to his homeland, at this moment in the dead of night, he is in the tent full of ambition to pour out the hesitation of the hometown and the expectation of revenge......

There are not only delicate literary dramas in the one-fold play, but also wonderful martial arts, and I can't wait to sing the next fourth fold "The Battle of the Two Armies" on the stage.

After the actors got off the stage, the theater was quiet again, and the next scene would be staged only after a break for a cup of tea.

The seat was surprisingly quiet, Duanmu Fei drank tea silently, and could vaguely hear the spectators in the lobby below discussing the play just now, and their voices floated up from time to time.

Duanmu Fei accidentally finished another cup of tea, and was just about to put down the teacup, when he heard Feng Yan looking down at the stage and suddenly said, "'He' should have lost, right?" ”

Hey?! Duanmu blinked stupidly, completely unable to understand what Feng Yan was saying.

Feng Yan turned his head, hooked the corners of his lips with a smile and said, "That Zhao Gongzi has never fought a war, does he think that he is a genius and can not talk on paper?" ”

Not...... Duanmu Fei blinked, silently, and felt that what Feng Yan said was quite reasonable. She couldn't help but think of yesterday's sand table battle, her eyes lit up, and she asked curiously: "Feng Gongzi, I have never learned sand table deduction, is this similar to playing chess?" ”

Looking at Duanmu Fei's well-behaved and cute little face looking at him curiously, Feng Yan cleared his throat and explained her confusion: "Sand table deduction is similar to playing chess, you need to take one step and consider ten moves, but the difference between the two is that the sand table is not chess, but soldiers, and the factors that will affect the outcome are strategy, terrain, and even the weather......

Duanmu Fei listened attentively, with great interest, his eyes brightened, and sighed: "Sand table deduction seems to be more interesting than playing chess." ”

Feng Yan listened to the blessing of being struck by lightning in an instant, and hurriedly asked, "Zhen...... Do you want me to teach you? ”

It's true?! Duanmu Fei's eyes were as bright as stars, and he nodded without thinking: "Okay, good." ”

After saying hello three times in a row, she suddenly stiffened again, and then she thought that in this way, wouldn't she see Feng Yan often?!

That doesn't seem like a good thing! Duanmu thought to himself, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood upside down.

However, the sand table is very interesting......

Duanmu Fei fell into a tangle for a while, feeling that there seemed to be a fragrant fish hooking her in front of her, but when she was eating the fish, there was a big wolf dog dripping saliva behind her who was flicking his tail and staring at him......

It's a real dilemma.

Duanmu frowned his little face, and said to himself in his heart, forget it, now that there is fish to eat, let's eat it quickly.

Her mind was empty, she didn't think about it anymore, she just looked at Feng Yan expectantly.

Feng Yan casually took a few teacups and saucers, laid out a simple small terrain on the spot, and then took out a green lotus-colored gourd-shaped purse from his sleeve, and poured out small and delicate gold bills from the purse.

Each gold coin is made in the shape of a bird, some spreading its wings, some crouching, some pecking its feathers...... Feng Yan put up those golden bills one by one, obviously using them as soldiers.

It's so cute! Duanmu Fei couldn't help but stretch out a white index finger and dot on one of the gold bills, then thought of something, and also took out his purse, and poured out the silver cat bills inside.

She pinched one of the little silver cats and said with a smile: "Then I'll take this as a soldier." ”

"The chess field is like a battlefield, and the sand table is also a battlefield, and the first step is to lay out the ...... first."

Feng Yan said as he moved a few gold bills, and started with Duanmu Fei step by step from the most basic long snake formation, which was simple and simple.

This is a new field that Duanmufei has never been exposed to, every sentence and every word is very fresh to her, she listens attentively like a good student, and all her attention is focused on Feng Yan, lest she miss a word.

Feng Yan only felt that Duanmu Fei's big eyes seemed to be burning with a cluster of flames, and the flames jumped and jumped, making his heart jump with her rhythm, and the roots of his ears were more like being smoked by the flames, getting hotter and hotter......

The tips of my ears were so red that they were dripping blood.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

There was a messy sound of going upstairs outside the private seat, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon someone called outside: "Childe." ”

Feng Yan frowned, a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes, but he still said, "Come in." ”

The door of the elegant seat was pushed open from the outside, and the little maid Luofeng came in in with fear, and said with the knife-like eyes of the child: "Childe, the emperor has sent you to see you." "If this wasn't a 100,000 urgent event, he wouldn't dare to bother his son.

Feng Yan knew what the emperor recruited him for, but he felt that the emperor was too good at picking the time, so he looked at Duanmu Fei reluctantly, so he had to get up and say goodbye to her: "Fourth girl Duanmu, then I will leave first...... I'll teach you again next time. ”

Feng Yan glanced at Duanmu Fei deeply, and slowly walked out of the seat.

Feng Yan's figure quickly disappeared at the door of the elegant seat, Duanmu Fei looked at the empty corridor in a daze, suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked down at the table in front of him, only to see that Feng Yan's purse and those gold bills were still left on the table.

Duanmu Fei hurriedly grabbed a handful of gold bills with one hand, grabbed the blue lotus-colored purse with the other, and then rushed to the window on the street in one go, looked down at the street outside, and saw Feng Yan at the gate turning over his horse neatly and neatly.

Duanmu Fei was about to call his name, he seemed to have noticed something, his chin was slightly raised, and he looked up in the direction of the seat.

The eyes of the two of them happened to meet in mid-air, Feng Yan's phoenix eyes were extremely bright in the sun, the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled at Duanmu Fei, as bright as a clear sky.

Duanmu Fei subconsciously replied with a sweet smile, and hurriedly waved the purse in his hand, signaling that he had forgotten his purse.

Feng Yan also waved his hand at her, feeling happy in his heart: Zhen Zhen was saying goodbye to him.

I was so clever to give away those gold bills in this way, and Zhen Zhen must have liked it very much.

After Feng Yan reluctantly waved his hand again, he clamped the horse's belly and rode away.

Duanmufei, who only left the window on the second floor, looked at the backs of Feng Yan and Ben Xiao leaving in a daze, his mouth opened and closed, but he still didn't shout.

After a long while, she stupidly withdrew her gaze and looked at the purse and gold in her hands, and sighed silently, her eyes a little complicated.

She could probably guess that the emperor summoned Feng Yan in such a hurry for the errand of sending the envoy back to Beiyan.

Now that the king of Beiyan is gone, the situation on Beiyan's side is unclear, even if the emperor originally planned to turn a blind eye and not sweep the face of Duke Weiguo, now he is afraid that he will never dare to let Feng Yan go to Beiyan.

In this way, what can Feng Yan get from the emperor?!

Duanmu Fei crooked his little face curiously, and in the next moment, his little face stiffened again, and he almost didn't beat his head. Hey, why can't she change her teachings repeatedly! Always thinking about what you don't have!

Duanmu narrowed his mouth without tears and walked towards the table.

At the same time, the gongs and drums below sounded again, and one by one the brightly dressed and gorgeously dressed actors appeared on the stage, and another play began to sing......

After Duanmu Fei watched this play, he went home in a happy mood...... When the moon was on the willow top, Duanmuxian, who had stayed in the palace for a day and a night, finally returned to the house, and specially called Duanmu Fei to the outer study to talk.

Duanmu Fei was already a little sleepy, lazily covering her mouth and yawning, until Duanmu Xian's words scared away her sleepy insects like a muffled thunder.

In addition to telling her the news of the death of the King of Northern Yan, Duanmu Xian also focused on another matter: "Feng Yan will be in charge of salt affairs in the household department from now on. ”

Duanmu Fei was immediately stupid when he heard this sentence.

Feng Yan was born as a military general, and he has nothing to do with the household department, how could he enter the household department and take charge of the salt administration? ! And he doesn't serve in the household department yet, and he feels that his name is not right, what is going on?

Duanmu Fei thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of a certain possibility:

Could it be that this is a quid pro quo for "that errand"?!

Duanmu Xian frowned slightly, his shrewd eyes flashed with confusion in the dim light, "The emperor doesn't know what to think...... An hour ago, when the emperor announced me into the imperial study, he directly 'informed' me of this matter, saying that from today onwards, Feng Yan will be responsible for all matters related to the reform of the salt system. ”

The matter of the salt system reform in the southern states was debated in the court for more than a month, and the emperor reluctantly agreed, but who was responsible has not yet been decided.

Duanmuxian actually knew that the emperor and his ministers were not optimistic about changing the "salt banknote" to "salt introduction", so no one wanted to receive this unflattering errand, but he didn't expect that now this errand would be given to Feng Yan as a coordinator, a figure that Duanmuxian could never have imagined.

A small moth flapped its trembling wings and flew towards the shining octagonal palace lamp next to the bookcase, and the flapping wings made a "fluttering" sound on the gauze lampshade, and the candle flame in the lampshade seemed to be jumping with it......

Duanmuxian stared at the moth, slowly brushing his beard, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, happy that the salt reform could finally begin; I'm worried that Feng Yan is not yet fifteen years old, in case this thing goes badly, wouldn't it be himself who takes most of the responsibility for it?!

Moreover, Feng Yan has never been to the household department, how much does he know about the responsibilities of the household department?! Or, entering the household department is not what Feng Yan wants, but he is forced by the emperor, so will he do a good job?!

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian felt that his head hurt and rubbed his forehead.

Duanmu Fei was also looking at the moth, and lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his eyes flickering slightly with the wings of the moth, and his heart was clear.

It turns out that this is the intention of sealing the flames.

Although not many people are optimistic about the new "salt introduction system" because of the multi-party interests involved in the salt banknote in the court, Duanmufei believes that the "salt introduction system" is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous to today's Dasheng.

"Zizhi Tongjian" has a cloud: "The endowment of the world, salt is half of it, and the palace, clothing, military salary, and hundreds of officials are all dependent on Yan." Taking this opportunity to hold the salt in his hand, Feng Yan held a sharp weapon in his hand.

It's just that there are some things that can't be said to Duanmu Xian.

Duanmu Fei groaned, and comforted Duanmu Xian casually: "Grandfather, think in a good direction, no matter what, the 'salt introduction system' can finally be implemented, and when the salt system reform is successful, my grandfather's merit will be the first, and he will definitely be able to go down in history and rank in the "Biography of Famous Ministers". ”

Duanmu smiled and coaxed Duanmu Xian, and spit out sweet words one by one.

Duanmu Xian listened to Duanmu Fei's words, and felt that it was not unreasonable when he thought about it, and he was in a better mood.

This salt reform has not yet begun, and he himself cannot pour cold water on himself first. Once the salt reform is successful, the pressure on the household can also be reduced a lot.

Duanmu Xiancai breathed a sigh of relief, and thought of another thing, and in one breath, he stalked in his throat, not up or down.

He almost forgot that it was the end of June now, and according to the usual practice, it was time for the emperor to go to escape the summer again!

Escaping the heat means asking for silver.

Duanmu Xian rubbed his eyebrows irritably, and his eyes froze again.

As soon as Duanmu Fei saw Duanmu Xian's expression, he knew what he was worried about, and comforted him with a smile: "Grandfather, don't worry, there is such a big fork in Beiyan this year, and the emperor must be worried to death now, and it is estimated that he can't remember to escape the summer for a while." Duanmu scarlet winked at Duanmu Xian slyly, so, grandfather, don't mention this stubble anymore.

The four girls are right. Duanmu Xian was stunned, squinted his eyes with understanding, and sighed in his heart: The four girls still know what his heart is!

Duanmu Xian's eyes became softer and more loving when he looked at Duanmu Scarlet.

Duanmu raised her hand mischievously and flicked it on the lampshade, and the moth flapped its wings and flew towards the window as if frightened.

Duanmu Fei's eyes sparkled, and then said: "Grandfather, the new king of Beiyan ascended the throne, and his attitude towards Dasheng is unknown, which will directly affect the imperial concubine in the palace, and now the matter is unknown...... Our Duanmu family, as the mother of the eldest prince, must be cautious and cautious, and let people find our 'mistakes'. ”

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Duanmufei's big dark eyes.

The Weiguo Mansion started his sister's idea, and with He's shrewdness, he must have seen it, but Duanmufei could guess He's thoughts, and He probably felt that he could rely on his sister to win over the Weiguo Mansion so that he could be a backer for the eldest prince.

Therefore, Duanmufei deliberately implicitly "reminded Duanmu Xian" first, in case the He family or the Weiguo Mansion really mentioned this marriage to Duanmu Xian, I think Duanmu Xian would also "think twice".

The corners of Duanmu Fei's mouth outlined a cunning arc at an angle that Duanmu Xian couldn't see, and his eyes under the long eyelashes of the crow were shining.

Duanmu Xian perked up and nodded thoughtfully.

Now none of the men of the two generations of their Duanmu family can be raised, so they can only rely on their own pillars to support them. Those nobles in the capital, even if one of them falls in the family, there are other brothers and clansmen to support them, but the Duanmu family is different, the foundation of the Duanmu family is too shallow, and they can't afford to be wrong, so they must be cautious in their actions during this time.

"Four girls, you still have a heart, and you have been thinking about things at home." Duanmu Xian stroked his beard with a smile, and his eyebrows and eyes stretched a lot.

No matter how capable he is, he only has a pair of hands, a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, and there will always be times when he can't take care of it, as for the He family, he is getting more and more confused, don't mention it, now he has a pair of good granddaughters, externally, Duanmu Fei looks at and thinks about it for him; Internally, the eldest granddaughter Duanmu Jun is in charge of the house's internal affairs, so that he has no worries.

Thinking of Duanmujun, Duanmuxian remembered Duanmujun's ceremony, so he asked with concern: "Fourth girl, how is your sister preparing for the ceremony now?" ”

As soon as it came to Duanmujun's ceremony, Duanmu Fei smiled happily, and said with flying eyebrows:

"Grandfather, I have invited the grandmother of the Li family to be the guest of honor, and Cousin Hanxing said that she was going to come to be a praiser for her sister, but the messenger has not yet been decided."

"My sister's dress has also been customized by Yujin Lou, and the jewelry is made in Liulifang, and I have also listed the list of banquets, so that my sister can see it......"

"In two days, I plan to start decorating the venue for the ceremony......

Duanmu Fei said happily, and Duanmu Xian was also infected by her smile, with a warm smile on his face, but listening to it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What about He's?!

Duanmujun's ceremony is actually Duanmufei, a ten-year-old girl, who is operating alone, what did He's grandmother do? !

Duanmu Xian couldn't help squinting, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't show his face, and listened to Duanmu Fei finish speaking with a smile.

"Four girls, you're doing a good job. Grandfather will give you another three thousand taels of silver. Duanmuxian said as he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the maid serving in the study immediately understood, and soon came out of the inner room with a wooden box and presented it to Duanmuxian.

Duanmu Xian took three silver tickets with a denomination of one thousand taels from the box and handed them to Duanmu Fei in person.

"Thank you, grandfather." Duanmu Fei owed a debt, accepted it with kindness, and quickly calculated in his heart how to use the extra three thousand taels of silver in order to make his sister's ceremony more grand.

Duanmu Xian smiled and said, "Four girls, you just said that you also made a list of guests, right?" Tomorrow you send me the list, and I will post it myself. ”

Duanmu smiled happily, nodded and said, "Grandfather, don't wait for tomorrow, I'll call Bi Chan to get it now." ”

With Duanmu Xian's current identity, he will come forward to post, and his sister's ceremony will be more grand.

Originally, Duanmu Xian didn't say it, Duanmu Fei also planned to pick a day to coax Duanmu Xian, and now it's okay, it saves her a lot of tongue...... Well, she sent him an extra jar of pear blossom wine.

On the same day, Duanmufei, who took 3,000 taels of silver, spent all the money lavishly, and ordered people to purchase a complete set of tea sets, dishes, chopsticks and other utensils with peony flowers, which were to be used by all the guests at the ceremony......

The money was spent like flowing water, and the three thousand taels were gone in less than five days.

This money is really unspent! Duanmu sighed silently in his heart.

Time entered July in a busy time, Duanmu Fei was even busier, devoting herself to matters related to the ceremony, in order to decorate the hall, she almost searched the treasury in the house again, and Duanmu Xian also took out a lot of good things from his private treasury for her to use at will.

After the old lady expressed it, the whole house also knew that this time the eldest girl's ceremony was a grand event that had not been held in the house for several years, and it was very grand, and the people in the house worked harder to do things.

Duanmufei's daily schedule was full, and when she came back to her senses, it was already mid-July, and on July 16, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's second wife Xin came to visit.

At first, Mrs. Li thought that Duanmujun's ceremony would be handled by the He family, but later she found out that it was her little granddaughter Duanmufei who was busy with everything, and she suddenly realized in her heart.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her two granddaughters, so she came over to see if there was anything that could help.

Knowing that Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were coming, Duanmu Fei was overjoyed, and pulled Duanmu together and flew to the Yimen like a magpie.

"Maternal grandmother, second aunt."

The two sisters affectionately held Mrs. Li in their arms, and did not go to He's place, but walked directly towards the sisters' Zhanqing Courtyard.

Along the way, the four of them greeted each other with smiles on their faces, and after a while, Zhanqing Courtyard appeared in the green shade in front of them.

Duanmu Fei thought of something, blinked, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it's better to be in time than to be in a hurry, grandmother, you and your second aunt came just in time." My sister's dress is about to be ready, and you two eat more salt than I eat, so you just came to palm my eyes today. ”

The four of them talked and laughed and entered the courtyard, all the way to the east room.

A middle-aged woman wearing a lilac-colored bamboo leaf plum blossom embroidered jacket and a white embroidered horse-faced skirt was sitting on a circle chair by the window.

"Maternal grandmother, second aunt, this is Master Jin of Yujin Building, and my sister's dress is made by Master Jin." Duanmu Fei introduced with a smile.

This Jin master is less than forty, with a delicate appearance, a slender figure, a black green silk holding a neat and concise round bun, wearing a pair of jasper hairpins, Xu because she is from the palace Shangfu Bureau, her manners and demeanor are very decent, if you don't say it, others still think that she is the head of the house.

Master Jin gracefully greeted Mrs. Li and Xin.

Today, Master Jin personally sent the dress, and the dress is only eighty percent completed, and he will continue to do it after Duanmujun tries on clothes today.

The whole set of dresses worn by the Sanjia ceremony had been neatly spread out on the Luohan bed one by one, just so quietly spread there, that gorgeous and delicate atmosphere naturally emanated.

Mrs. Li looked at them one by one, and her eyes couldn't help but widen wider and wider, and she couldn't hide her amazement.
