Chapter 184: Mid-Autumn Festival 1

This is the first time that Washington has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the imperial capital Huaicheng, and it is also the first time to integrate into the atmosphere of the imperial capital Huaicheng, of course, it is the first time to try such a custom.

To be honest, I'm not used to it.

Although the customs of Kyushu countries over mid-autumn are similar, but each place still has the characteristics of each place, for example, the land of eastern Jin drink white snow three cellars in mid-autumn, the imperial capital Huaicheng drinks osmanthus brewing, white snow three cellars make wine with snow, cold and domineering, this is the original Sui Jin northern country of the aborigines invented, summer fifteen drink this wine, cool and scorching, enjoyable, they are not used to drinking osmanthus brewed, however, even in the imperial capital Huaicheng through mid-autumn, do not drink also have to prepare some. Because there may be guests coming today to drink this wine.

Early in the morning, Wen Ji, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, was ordered by Xia Linghui to send a jar of osmanthus wine brewed by Xia Linghui himself, and Yuan Boxi personally went to the door to receive the gift, and returned a jar of white snow three kilns as a return gift.

Wen Ji said politely: "Let Princess Jindong break the bank." “

But he took the jar of wine.

Waiting for Wen Ji to leave, Yuan Boxi asked Yan Yi to personally go to Nie's Mansion and sent a jar of white snow and three kilns to Nie's Mansion, and similarly, Nie's Mansion returned to Osmanthus cake and osmanthus brew as a return gift, but compared to Li's Mansion, Nie's Mansion was once an authoritative existence above the court after all, and it was generous to make a move, in addition to osmanthus cake and osmanthus stuffed, there were also yellow crabs and vermilion eggs.

After the Chen Mansion collapsed from the court, Chen Dedi was abolished, and Huabeijiao was newly crowned, the officials wanted to come to the Huatu early in the morning. The people who give gifts are constant, of course, the officials are not fools, this gift is also very particular, will not let people catch any handles, are to give cakes and wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., so that people can not say a bribe or stammer, festive friends, human nature, they are in the same dynasty in the official. belongs to colleagues, such a festival, it is understandable to take a walk.

When Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan approached Washington in the carriage, they also saw people coming in and out of the gate of Washington one after another, Yin Xuan raised his voice and said, "Stop." “

The carriage quickly stopped.

Yin Xuan lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out the door.

Nie Qingwan also lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out the door.

Seeing so many officials and servants coming in and out in front of Washington, she thought to herself, this situation and this scene are like the former Nie Mansion, but the battle of this official is really less.

Nie Qingwan let go of the curtain and stopped looking.

Yin Xuan also loosened the curtain, glanced at her sideways, and said with a smile: "It's very lively." “

Nie Qingwan said: "It's a holiday, it's lively." “

Yin Xuan stretched out his hand to hold her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, and whispered: "Wanwan loves to be lively the most, if you don't have to go out of the palace and go back to Washington, we can also be lively in the palace." “

Nie Qingwan stretched out her hand to protect her stomach and said, "The liveliness of going home is really lively, the liveliness in the palace is not counted, and I don't like it either." “

Yin Xuan said: "I understand. “

He said through the door and said to the outside: "Wait for the people at the gate of Washington to disperse before going over." “

Suihai sat outside, and when he heard this, he knew that the emperor didn't want to disturb everyone, so he answered yes, but at the same time, he felt that the emperor was too fond of the queen, how could there be a reason for the emperor to take a step back?

But thinking that the queen is the queen mother, and taking it for granted, in front of the queen mother, the emperor has to give way.

Sui Hai pulled the reins and sat there, looking at the people in front of Washington.

Fortunately, although there were many people who came, they also walked fast, and within two hours, the front of Washington was deserted, and it was the domestic servants of the officials' families who came.

Seeing that there was no one at the door, Sui Haichong said inside, and Yin Xuan asked him to catch up.

When they arrived at the door, the people in the car hadn't shown their faces yet, Suihai hadn't gone down yet, Huandong and Huanxi hadn't gone down yet, and Yan Yi was startled when he saw Suihai. Where there is a sea, there must be an emperor!

Yan Yi hurriedly opened the door to the maximum, ran out and saluted Suihai, Suihai said, "I'll drive the carriage in directly." “

Yan Yi said yes, turned around and opened another door, which was specially used for entering and exiting the carriage, and there was no high threshold, which was convenient for the carriage to enter and exit.

When he entered, Yan Yi looked out and closed the door along with him.

When I didn't come to Huaicheng, the imperial capital, I was still in the land of the relics of Jindong, every time I came to this festival, Washington and Xie Mansion and the palace would get together to celebrate, and I didn't pay attention to who respected and who was inferior, anyway, such a festival, the more people the more lively, all sat together to eat meat and drink wine and admire the moon, that day Yuan Boxi would play the piano with the other three ladies to help the fun, the boys would dance the sword under the moon, and the girls would clap their hands and applaud, or come directly to a dance, in short, it was very lively.

But in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, there is no such lively scene.

Wang Qizhi, the head of the Wang family, did not come, Mrs. Xie did not come, Xie Duan, the head of the Xie family, did not come, and Mrs. did not come, Wang Yunyao and Wang Yunzhi rode back to the land of the relics of Jindong last night, and reunited with their families.

Before Wang Yunyao and Wang Yunzhi went back yesterday, Huatu had asked them about the assassination that night on Xiaonan Street, knowing that the killer was from the Dark Moon Building, and the owner of the Dark Moon Building was called Yuan Lingyue, and Wang Yunzhi was a good friend, the killer did know Wang Yunzhi that day, because he knew Wang Yunzhi's relationship, he didn't make a move on Wang Yunyao, the most unexpected thing is that this Yuan Lingyue was actually the crown princess of the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

Knowing this, of course, you will know who bought the murderer, it is the Chen Mansion.

The people of the Chen Mansion have left Da Yin and no longer belong to the people of Da Yin, only one Chen Wen is still in the Criminal Department to assist in the investigation of the case.

It stands to reason that the Chen family was abolished, and Chen Wenqi no longer belonged to Da Yin. is not qualified to stay in Da Yin anymore, let alone assist the Criminal Department in investigating the case, but Chen Wen has followed the Queen Mother, his name is written on the merit record of Qianqiu fame, and he is worshiped by the world, no matter where he is, he is a member of Da Yin and will never fade.

Huatu, who knew the truth, was melancholy for a while, of course Huatu could see how much the emperor didn't want to see Chen Wen, what did the emperor mean by closing the case, Huatu probably guessed that the disaster caused the Chen Mansion, and it ended up in the Chen Mansion, but everyone in the Chen Mansion has gone, and only one Chen Wenchu is still there, isn't that the meaning of pointing the sword at Chen Wen? Chen Wen just killed the murderer on the front foot to be rewarded, and the back foot is about to sentence him to buy murder, which is really embarrassing for him!

After thinking about it, Huatu didn't know how to write about this closed case, so he had to put it aside.

Because of the impact of this incident, he didn't have a happy face when he got up today, Yuan Boxi found out and said to him: "It's a good festival, Beijiao is coming back today, don't cry with a sad face, add bad luck in vain, and destroy a good festival." “

Huatu tugged at his shirt and said, "You don't know what I'm worried about, of course I don't have a backache when I speak." “

Yuan Boxi smiled: "Of course I don't have a backache when I speak, but a pain in my mouth." “

Huatu glared at her.

Yuan Boxi asked, "What makes you so sad?" “

Huatu glanced at her, didn't say anything, picked up the robe on the screen, stood there and put it on, when Yuan Boxi stepped forward to help, Huatu let go of his hand, looked at her busy, and then said: "It's the case of Nie Bei's assassination on Xiaonan Street." “

Yuan Boxi asked while busy: "Hasn't the person behind the case been found out yet?" “

Huatu said: "I found out, and it was because I found out that I was so worried." “

Yuan Boxi was puzzled: "Now that it's been found out, shouldn't you breathe a sigh of relief?" Why are you still worried? “

Huatu sighed and saw that she had dressed him. He took her hand and walked out, while telling the truth he knew, seeing that she was shocked, he said again: "Our emperor, looking young, but his mind is as deep as the sea, and his ability is even more unfathomable, he knew everything when the case was still a fog, but he was silent, until yesterday." He just told me that there was no need to investigate the case, but it was closed, and then told me that Wang Yunyao and Wang Yunzhi knew everything, and then I came back and asked, and he did know everything. “

Saying this, Huatu's brows furrowed deeply.

Yuan Boxi was really shocked when she heard this, and she whispered: "Since the emperor knows that this matter was done by the Chen Mansion, why did he let Chen Wen go to assist the Criminal Department in investigating the case?" “

Huatu said: "This is the emperor's treacherous place, this emperor is occasionally really frightening. “

Yuan Boxi pursed her lips, thinking of how the northern kingdom of the original Sui Jin Dynasty was destroyed, she said, "I have long known this. “

Huatu sighed and shook her hand: "Now I am worried about how to write the closing case, fortunately, the emperor did not give a deadline, today when Beijiao comes back, I will also discuss this matter with her, she has now entered the palace and has been sealed again." is very assertive, and the advice she gives is feasible nine times out of ten. “

Yuan Boxi said: "Then don't worry. “

Huatu patted her hand, mumbled, and went to pull the door.

Yuan Boxi said behind him: "Beijiao came back today, you said that with the emperor's love for her, will she also come?" “

Hua Tu was stunned for a moment, but before he could reply, Yan Yi hurriedly ran in, and said to him and Yuan Boxi with a smile: "Lord, princess, the county lord has returned to the house, and the emperor is also here." “

Huatu: "......"

Yuan Boxi: "......"

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly, the emperor was really clinging to their daughter.

Huatu asked Yan Yi: "Have you entered the door?" “

Yan Yi said, "Come in, I've gone to the front hall." “

Huatu and Yuan Boxi took the maids to the front hall, and saw Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan, including Huatu and Yuan Boxi, all of them greeted each other.

When everyone straightened up, Yin Xuan smiled and said to Huatu, "I haven't had breakfast with Wanwan yet." Has Hua Aiqing had breakfast? “

Huatu said: "Not yet. “

Yin Xuan said: "Then let's eat together." “

Yuan Boxi hurriedly asked Guan Yiru to go to the kitchen to supervise and deliver the meal earlier.

Guan Yiru went, Yuan Boxi stepped forward to take Nie Qingwan's hand, looked her up and down, and was very happy.

That day, she stood below and looked at her from a distance, although she couldn't see it at all, but she still seemed to see her daughter's phoenix robe majesty, the appearance of her mother in the world, as a mother, seeing her daughter have such glory and come to such a prominent position, how can she not be happy?

Yuan Boxi was very happy and very pleased.

Seeing Yin Xuan and Hua Tu sitting there chatting, Yuan Boxi was about to take Nie Qingwan away and say something about the women's boudoir with her alone, but before she could act, the door was knocked again, and Yan Yi hurriedly went over to greet her.

I thought I was still here to give gifts, but I didn't want to, as soon as the door opened, it was not the person who gave the gift, but Li Yuchen.

Behind Li Yuchen stood Kang Xin, a master and a servant saw Tu Yi, and said with a smile: "Mid-Autumn Festival." “

Tu Yi replied: "Mid-Autumn Festival." “

Li Yuchen asked, "Is the queen back?" “

Tu Yi smiled and said, "I'm back, I just entered the house." “

Li Yuchen smiled and said: "I came to call her to go to my house for breakfast, my mother has prepared the dishes, do you go in to pass the word or I go in directly?" “

Tu Yi said: "The emperor is also there." “

Li Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately lifted the hem of her skirt: "Then I have to go in." “

Tu Yi opened the door and let Li Yuchen and Kang Xin in.

Li Yuchen and Kang Xin were led into the front hall by Tu Yi, greeted Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan, and said Zhongqiu Joy to Huatu and Yuan Boxi, and when they were talking, Huazhou cleaned up, saw so many people in the front hall, greeted them one by one with a smile, and greeted Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan with a salute, and Gui Yuan also greeted him.

Huazhou was quite surprised to see Li Yuchen here, raised his eyebrows, but did not take the initiative to talk to her. Lifted up his pants and sat down in the chair under Huatu.

Gui Yuan immediately stood beside him and waited.

Li Yuchen explained his intention to Nie Qingwan, and without waiting for Nie Qingwan to speak, Yin Xuan said first: "Dai Zhen and the queen thank you Li Aiqing and Mrs. Li for their kindness, but I and Wanwan want to eat in Washington for breakfast, so they won't go to Li's mansion." “

In fact, the place where Nie Qingwan wanted to have breakfast most was not Washington, nor Li's Mansion, but Nie's Mansion, but she knew that her identity was not revealed before. It's impossible.

Of course, she wants to eat in Washington more than going to Li Mansion to eat, after all, Washington is now her maiden home.

Nie Qingwan saw a disappointed look on Li Yuchen's face, and said with a smile: "Although I can't go, my brother can go, just let my brother go for me." “

When Huazhou heard this, his handsome brows instantly furrowed, and he glared at Nie Qingwan.

Yuan Boxi thought this was a good idea, and sent Li Yuchen back from Daming Township last time, and Li Yuchen said that they would be invited to dinner on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. She agreed, and this morning Mrs. Li also sent her own hand-brewed osmanthus wine.

Although the matter of returning to Xia Tu last time left a trace of pimple in his heart, Yuan Boxi really couldn't see that Li Yuchen had any ill intentions towards his daughter, even if a person could hide it, it was impossible not to show a trace of it, Li Yuchen's friendship with his daughter was frank and sincere, not like adulteration.

After agreeing to someone, Li Yuchen came to the door in person at this time, and it was really not good not to go.

Yuan Boxi rushed to Huazhou, who was sitting there and was obviously unhappy, and said, "You go." Say hello to Lord Li and Mrs. Li on behalf of Washington, and let's make an appointment with Lord Li and Mrs. Li to come out for dinner at the mansion later. “

Huazhou didn't want to go, so he sat there and didn't move.

Li Yuchen looked at Huazhou and said with a smile: "Hua Shizi go with me, otherwise this dish will not be eaten and wasted." “

Huazhou raised his eyes to look at her, and then turned his head to look at Yin Xuan, obviously waiting for Yin Xuan to speak.

Yin Xuan said: "It's okay to go for a meal. “

Huazhou is a very measured person, although Li Yuchen is not in the palace now, but she is still the emperor's woman, no matter who the emperor favors now, Li Yuchen is a concubine, and now the emperor is sitting, he wants to go to the Li Mansion for dinner, so he naturally has to let Yin Xuan agree.

Although Huazhou was unwilling, Yin Xuan spoke, he still got up, dusted off his pants, and said to Li Yuchen, "Let's go." “

Li Yuchen saluted Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan, as well as Hua Tu and Yuan Boxi, and then turned around and left.

Li Yuchen really wanted to call Nie Qingwan to eat, but he didn't shout, it was okay to change it to Huazhou, as long as it was a person from Washington, this represented the friendship of Washington.

Huazhou took longan and followed Li Yuchen to Li's mansion for breakfast.

Breakfast was also put on the table, Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan sat in the main seat, Hua Tu and Yuan Boxi were at the bottom, and Xie Youhan sat next to each other.

didn't see Wang Yunyao, Wang Yunzhi and Xie Baocheng, Nie Qingwan asked out loud, Yuan Boxi said that the three of them went back to Jindong and went to have a reunion with their families, Nie Qingwan sighed, said she knew, looked at Xie Youhan again, and said: "Did you go back with Xie Baocheng, is the injury still not healed?" “

It looks like the face is better, at least there are no more dark ointments, although there are superficial scars on the face, but it is not very eye-catching, and it can't be seen if you don't look closely.

The skin injury seems to be fine, but I don't know if the internal injury has been repaired.

Xie Youhan said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my brother made a fuss, and he didn't want me to go back, let me keep it in the house, I'm afraid that I will fall apart directly after I ride back this trip." “

He was not very happy and said, "Am I so careless?" That's it. “

Nie Qingwan smiled: "It's just such a little injury that has allowed you to lie down for so many days, you should pay attention, Xie Baocheng's worry is normal." “

Xie Youhan said: "I also want to go home to see my father." “

Nie Qingwan said: "Otherwise, let my father write a letter to the head of the Xie family in a while, let them spend the mid-autumn, come to the imperial capital Huaicheng with Xie Baocheng, and live in the house for a few days, Xie Baocheng will go back, if you don't go back, the head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie will also ask, Xie Baocheng will definitely say that you can't go back because of your injury, then the head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie will definitely be worried, but they won't be relieved to take a look." “

Xie Youhan raised his eyes and looked at Huatu.

Huatu smiled and said, "After eating, I will go to the study to write a letter." “

Xie Youhan smiled: "Lord Xie." “

Huatu said, "Let's eat." “

Yin Xuan also felt that there were too many words between Nie Qingwan and Xie Youhan, did she have to say so much for a meal? Her mind was all on Xie Youhan!

Yin Xuan snorted lowly, then used his chopsticks to fill a bowl of vegetables for Nie Qingwan, glared at her and said, "Eat when you eat, how can there be so much nonsense, don't talk, concentrate on eating, so as not to affect my appetite." “
