I should be glad that the snow only fell for one day and one night, and the occasional cold outside Beijing was not serious, and only a few cases of frostbite were reported by the household.

I let Chu Yi guard the court, and finally put my mind at ease - my private treasury was saved.

But I didn't keep the management fee that Yu Junshen handed over to me. I sold all the gifts I received over the years, and I still had 1.5 million taels of the part of Xijiang that had not yet arrived.

Before it became a good year, the palace banquet received some rewards, all of which were made inside, and I picked off all the gold beads, and sold all the money that could be sold.

January didn't bring back any money from the western frontier, he only brought me one piece of news: "Five hundred and seventy-two horses." ”

January's expression didn't change in the slightest, but her eyes seemed to glow.

I guess horses are to men what cars are to men?

"Prepare the horse-car, I will enter the palace immediately."

————

The barbish squire's wheat-colored face is matched with the H-shaped beard that has been popular in Beijing recently.,Well,It's quite man.,I'm used to seeing a bunch of all kinds of little white faces at home.,At first glance, a handsome uncle is really unique.。

I called January with a smile: "You can run with this Uncle Jun." ”

January rolled his eyes.

When I saw it, I was still smiling, but what I thought in my heart was: This time, Handsome Dad owes me a lot of money。。。。。。

I didn't even notice when I went out with the soldier in January, and my loud laughter sounded in the reception hall, which scared all the first eight birds out of the door.

"Prepare the horses!" I shouted, "I'm going to walk the horses!" ”

"It's not good to disturb the people in the middle of the night." The eighth day of the first month opens.

"Can you hold the soup woman on horseback? Although it is spring. Yique said with a cold shudder.

"Prepare the carriage—" I said whimfully.

"The kitchen prepared supper and warmed fruit wine for you." At eight o'clock in the first month, the windproof lantern was held.

"The wine is warmer. I'll go back to my room to eat. ”

So the horse was walked and died.

——————

On the fourteenth day of the first month, a banquet was held in the palace. The first and eighth years of junior high school followed me inseparably.

I'd like to introduce my younger siblings – six, seven, and eleven skipped. (I've talked about it above, so I'm too lazy to repeat.) The second sister, the fourth sister and the ninth brother Concubine De. (Concubine De was born in a family, and what she raised - the girl is dignified and elegant, and the boy is low-key and luxurious. The third brother, Concubine Shun, gave birth to a third brother, and Concubine Shun died young, and the third brother was raised behind my mother. The biological mother of the fifth and eighth brothers, Concubine Shu. The biological mother of the tenth brother is unknown, my third uncle died early and had no heirs, and the third aunt took it away.

Because my father is too handsome and in good health, there is no advice from the court to appoint a prince.

Therefore, the banquet sang and danced.

My third brother and I chatted together and discussed the layout of his house: "I heard that you transported a large piece of stone to raise?" ”

The third brother's ears were a little red, "I heard that Miss Zhang likes to watch stones." ”

I wondered what kind of temper this was, and whispered, "You can inquire about it, don't be self-defeating." ”

The third brother was a little embarrassed, "Then sister will help me inquire again?" ”

I knew it was okay for him to look at me like a pug as soon as I came. And every time he called my sister, I was bleeding profusely.

"What are you trying to calculate on me again?" I said hatefully.

"I don't have a woman to use, so I can't get close to inquire."

"There are no doors, you let the queen mother help you find it! Besides, what are you anxious about, you will only get married the year after tomorrow! ”

"The queen mother said let me find you."

I thought about it for a moment and said to him, "I can find a chance for you to ask in person." ”

The third brother's eyes lit up, "Is this good?" ”

Tomorrow you come to my house and come secretly.

"Okay."

I clinked glasses with him, and he drank it all in one gulp, choking on it too quickly, and coughed lightly, attracting attention from all around, and the queen mother glared at us, and I raised my glass to her, and my father looked at him, and I rolled my eyes at my father.

I haven't forgiven him for calculating my birthday gift, and for him crying to me!!!!!

The big man's crooked chatter just refused to pay me back the horse money, and the snot made me a sleeve!

After watching the royal song and dance performance, the handsome father and the queen mother left the banquet here early as usual and went to the field on the side of the courtiers and the sons of the courtiers. (The emperor and queen are not good, after rushing this and that, the food can't be delicious.) The princes quietly withdrew. The concubines who were present still stayed at the table and did not retreat, because after the song and dance, the young ladies of each family who had not left the cabinet performed talent shows in turn, and they did their best to sell themselves, or to become the continuation of the families of the adults, or to become daughters-in-law, or—whatever it is, a large net of in-laws was silently woven.

It's this routine every time, and I'm a little scared.

I don't know how many of them have been trapped.

There was a quarrel in the outer hall, and the eighth day of the first month went out to inquire about it, and soon came back.

It's nothing more than this one that stained my costume, that one that damaged my props.

"The fifth lady from the Song family is gone." On the eighth day of the first month, I said in my ear.

I glanced back at him, and he looked down at me, shook his head, and told me to leave it alone.

Then there was another commotion, "The second lady of the Zhang family is also gone." ”

"Which Zhang family?" I asked.

Chu Ba thought for a while, "There is no young lady surnamed Zhang on the talent list." ”

"Oh."

The commotion quickly subsided. I didn't look at the people on the other side and those in front of me, and they didn't move anything.

The concubines should still do what they should do, and the performance continues.

The one who was playing the piano was really calm, what an old child, he had this bearing, and when he saw the face of Concubine De on the other side with appreciation, I asked the eighth day of the first month: "This Concubine De's family?" ”

"Yes." The eighth day of the first month opens.

"Adhering to the fine tradition of Concubine De's family, they are all noble, beautiful and refined." I say.

"Concubine De is staring at you." Chu Ha spoke, "The little girl who whispered to her beside her just stared at the princess's lips, afraid that she could read lips. ”

I rub the class。。。。。。 Fortunately, when I talked to my third brother, I borrowed a drink and blocked it with my sleeve.

After the round-faced palace maid reported what I had just complained about Concubine De's parents, I stood up straight, I smiled at her, and then said word by word: "WQNMLGBD." ”

The other side instantly had a cracked expression.

"On the eighth day of junior high school, I went to see if anyone found it." I turned back.

Only Chu Yi had a cold face, staring at me with lowered eyes, his brows furrowed, he bent down, "It's not too early, it's time for the princess to go home"

"Sir, you're not good at that! Never let me have a good time! I frowned and glared at him.

Concubine Shu on the side heard it, and turned her head sideways to intercede for me: "The banquet is still early, this is only the past two young ladies, the princess will stay longer, I heard that there is a young lady who wants to dance the sword." ”

"Is it for the fifth brother?" I took the opportunity to talk to Concubine Shu, and then I stepped forward to the banquet table, avoiding the gaze of my back, "I heard that the fifth brother has good swordsmanship?" Looking for someone who shares your interests? ”

Concubine Shu smiled, "Exactly." ”

"Then I'm going to take a good look."

When I looked back and saw that the eighth day of the first month had returned, I sat back in my own place.

"A false alarm." The eighth year of the first month said.

Soon, the sword dance came on the stage, the person was very beautiful, the eyebrows were very heroic, the fifth brother should like it, Concubine Shu and I glanced at each other, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied.

I didn't watch the later shows, and the eighth day of the first month counted the hours, "Master, it's time for us to go back." ”

The girl who is playing the flute is the one who just said that she was gone, and the one who sat on the side to play the piano is said to be from the Chen family, and the two are close friends in the boudoir, and the two are playing together.

It's just that this song is a song that flows out of my house.

"Is it rotten?" I went back and asked about the first year of junior high school.

Chu Yi frowned and didn't reply to me.

On the eighth day of the first month, he persuaded again: "Let's go back and check again, the later it gets, the colder it gets." ”

I nodded and stepped back, not saying hello to anyone.

I'm very angry. I won't speak.

Sitting outside the frame, "The musicians who recommended themselves last time were all fine." ”

"Huh."

Chu Ha lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me.
