The New Year of the Li Dynasty passed in the praise of the Yi family and the discussion of the Seven Princes entering the East Palace.

The civil and military officials who have a little brains all understand that the canonization decree of the Seven Princes should have been issued at the palace banquet. However, in order not to suppress Yi Luochuan's limelight, the saint directly moved the time of issuing the holy decree later, which made most people see the honor of the Yi family.

So no one isolated the Yi family anymore, at least on the surface, everyone was polite, and the posts of various banquet invitations were also thrown into the Yi Mansion.

Of course, in addition to the inflammatory, there is also no shortage of real discernment! Yi Luochuan's hand at the palace banquet made many people admire! Even Duan Hongzhen, the former assistant of Zhishi for a long time, said that this son was extraordinary, and said that he wanted to accept him as a closed disciple.

Who is Duan Hongzhen? That's not just the former Shoufu, he is also the old lady of the Winning Mansion, a famous genius of the Rite Dynasty back then! There are very few people in Kyoto who can be praised by him, so Irokawa is even more popular.

Old Man Duan wants to accept Yi Luochuan as a closed disciple, how can the Yi family have no reason? Naturally, he chose a good day and an auspicious day to worship the teacher, so he was also related to the mansion of this country.

The apprenticeship ceremony is quite exquisite, and Yi Xiangxiang even thinks that compared with the greeting ceremony, it is not much better. In fact, the apprenticeship ceremony of the Li Dynasty has been simplified a lot, but the Duan family deliberately organized a pomp and circumstance, which shows that Duan Hongzhen is also extremely face-saving.

After this incident, Duan Hongzhen's eldest son, Duan Hezhi, asked his old father why he raised the Yi family so much! As for Duan Hongzhen, he only said something that the Yi family could help the Duan family in the future! Duan Hezhi really didn't think so at the time, after all, the Yi family's court couldn't compare to the Guogong Mansion! It wasn't until Emperor Wu ascended the throne later, and he drastically rectified the government, that Duan Hezhi understood that what the old man said was true. But that's for later.

I won't go into detail for the time being, but at this time, the Yi family, because of the acceptance of apprentices by Duan Hongzhen, the Duke of Winning Countries, can be regarded as really on the stage of the wealthy circle in Kyoto.

Yi Xiangxiang became a little deeper after the beginning of the year. She doesn't like to participate in banquets, and she declined invitations to any flower viewing banquets, poems, and cocktails, so she became the most mysterious existence in the Kyoto celebrity circle.

Of course, mystery comes at a price!

Because she doesn't like to attend banquets, some people say that she is ugly and saltless and dare not go out, and some people bring news from Tongzhou, saying that she has no talent, no virtue and improper conduct! And no matter what kind of smear, the Yi family remained unmoved until the Shenghong College of Women's Studies in Kyoto opened.

There are many rights and wrongs in places with many people, and Yi Xiangxiang is naturally reluctant to go to Shenghong College to take classes.

"What if you don't go to class? More people will definitely point fingers at the time! Lin sat beside his daughter and persuaded him bitterly.

Yi Xiangxiang waved her hand indifferently and said, "What are you pointing?" Say I'm talentless and virtuous? I haven't seen your mother before, you're nervous, why are you in such a hurry now? ”

She asked Shumei to wash a plate of cherries and bring them over, and fed them to the Lin family one by one, intending to plug her mouth!

"It used to be before! You were young before! It's different now, now that you've grown up, you're all talking about the age of your relatives soon, how can you still let those people outside say something about what you have and don't! ”

Lin's idea is very simple, in the past, she was afraid that her daughter would be early and easy to break, but now she has to talk about the age of her relatives, so she naturally has to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to beautify it, so as to find a good husband.

Yi Xiangxiang understood what the Lin family meant, but she really didn't want to go to the academy. Not to mention that there are a lot of things you come and go in the academy, she mainly thinks that there is nothing to learn, and she started to read those things when she was three years old, and others don't know that she knows herself, and she has an adult soul, and she memorized those things at the age of three.

In the coral-colored glass plate of entwined flowers, the cherries were full, and Yi Xiangxiang fed one to his mother's mouth and refused:

"Eh, mother, those are all superficial, we have to see the essence through the phenomenon! Don't you know what your daughter is like? Those who have a heart will naturally find my shining point! ”

Lin elegantly spit out the cherry pit and refused to eat it again: "You don't show it to others, how can others know your shining point?" ”

"There are people with hearts, people with hearts, and they say that they are people with hearts! Besides, didn't you say that you should keep a low profile when you go to Kyoto City! I'm not out of the door, how low-key! Yi Xiangxiang saw that the Lin family didn't eat cherries anymore, so she hugged the plate and ate it herself.

"It's not a good idea! Don't think I don't know you slipped away to West Lake to fish yesterday! Lin said with hatred that iron does not become steel.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't let it, she sat up straight and reasoned with her mother: "What's wrong with fishing!" Didn't you say that yesterday's sweet and sour fish tasted good! ”

Lin was helpless, she reached out and dialed the crooked royal blue Tucui peacock hairpin on Yi Xiangxiang's head, and said bitterly:

"I didn't say that fishing can't work, fishing can! You can play if you want! Tell me, what are you doing, I stopped you? Joy House you want to open, become, open! Your grandfather handed over a pint of incense to you to take care of, and you are willing, and you will take care of it! Including the current paradise, isn't it also what you want to toss? It's just that you've grown up, and it's time for you to pay attention to it! ”

I'm only a teenager, mother, do you want to get married?

I really can't do it!

However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't dare to say it, but replied in a disobedient voice: "Cheng, mother, I'm obsessed, right?" I'll definitely go to the next flower banquet! ”

"The flower banquet doesn't matter, but there are still many book friends in the academy!" Jiang Jingshan came in from outside the courtyard as she spoke.

She also heard that Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to go to Shenghong Academy to take classes, so she ran over to persuade her.

Jiang Jingshan's thoughts are the same as Lin's, girls don't stay in the house all day, they only go out to play with three or two friends by themselves, and the circle is too small. Moreover, there are many families in Kyoto, and it is true that they need to use their names, so they are more selective when talking about relatives.

And the most direct way to obtain the name is the praise of the gentlemen of the college.

"Sister-in-law, if I were in the academy, the fifth sister would designate to fight with everyone every day! Her temper is like a cannon fight, and anyone who says I'm not good at all, she can tear down the other party's bones! I'd better stop causing trouble. Yi Xiangxiang said and began to stuff cherries into Jiang Jingshan's mouth.

Jiang Jingshan didn't dodge for a while, and after eating a few cherries, she quickly stayed away from Yi Xiangxiang, and said angrily: "Then she is also for you!" ”

"Yes, she's afraid that I'll be uncomfortable when I hear those words that are not talented and virtuous, because as long as I'm here, she can't ignore those who don't." Yi Xiangxiang said and began to stuff cherries into her mouth again.

In short, she just doesn't want to go to school!

In the past, she went to Lusheng College in Tongzhou, mainly to listen to stories and play chess with Mr. Yu. And now at Shenghong College in Kyoto, she is really not interested.

Lin knocked Yi Xiangxiang's head angrily: "You have to be a mediocre person who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?" ”

"Mother, what you said, I can't play the piano except for calligraphy, calligraphy is slightly inferior, and painting is still good! And playing chess, now my brother can't play me! Yi Xiangxiang was not convinced.

"But you're a person who doesn't know anything outside!" Lin snorted.

"Look, it's back again, isn't it? Mother, think about it, this Kyoto is full of beautiful women with outstanding literature and talents, wouldn't it be better for me to be so unique? Yi Xiangxiang put down the plate and walked to Lin's side, shaking her arm coquettishly.

Lin glanced at her: "Crooked! ”

Yi Xiangxiang snorted squeamishly and replied: "Crooked reason is also reasonable!" Don't worry about it! My brother is about to participate in the Spring Festival, so you and your sister-in-law should take care of your brother's daily life and diet! Saying that, she thought of something again, only to see her turn sideways to Jiang Jingshan and say, "Oh yes, sister-in-law, I have some articles from the last Tanhualang, you can take them back and show them to your brother." ”

As she spoke, she asked Qing Xuan to go to the house to fetch something.

Jiang Jingshan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Tanhualang's article? Where are you from? ”

The Tanhualang of the last Spring Festival was Sheng Changhong, because he was low-key and very few works and articles flowed out. Yi Luochuan privately said that he wanted to see his article strategy, but Jiang Jingshan didn't expect Yi Xiangxiang to have it.

"Last time I went horseback riding with Luo Baohua and Sheng Changhong, the fifth sister asked Sheng Changhong what he took."

Yi Xiangxiang remembered that when Yi Ruofu asked Sheng Changhong for it, Luo Baohua also said don't think about it, he wouldn't give it, but he didn't expect Sheng Changhong to send it the next day!

Luo Baohua is a "loafer" son all day long, so Yi Xiangxiang, who is "simple", spends most of his time "touring the mountains and rivers" with him in Kyoto. Sheng Changhong had already received an errand, and Yi Ruofu was also going to the academy to attend classes, so the two of them only accompanied Luo Baohua and Yi Xiangxiang to play in their free time.

"This Luo Shizi hasn't married yet, right?" Lin had an idea when he heard Luo Baohua's name.

Yes, my own mother is really getting into the rhythm!

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and reluctantly refused: "Mother, don't blindly pull the red line, Luo Baohua and I are pure friendship!" ”

So Lin rolled his eyes again.

What does Yi Xiangxiang think of her relationship with Luo Baohua?

She felt that the two of them were the rich second generation who had nothing to do, and they made an appointment to eat and drink and travel around. Luo Baohua is known as Kyoto Bai Xiaosheng, that is really not called in vain, there is nothing he doesn't know about the miscellaneous things of all the families in Kyoto! And Yi Xiangxiang dug up a lot of secrets because of Huanxi Pavilion, so that she and Luo Baohua could also exchange small secrets. So the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

Their close relationship is another meaning in the eyes of outsiders, which is why the Lin family deliberately gossiped about Luo Baohua.

Although Luo Shizi has a bad reputation, he has been in contact with him a few times, and his family background is good, so he is quite compatible with his daughter. This is Lin's idea.

No, it should be said that it is Lin's wishful thinking.

Regarding the matter of going to Shenghong Academy to take classes, although the Lin family and Jiang Jingshan coerced and lured together, Yi Xiangxiang failed to fulfill their wishes. In fact, it's not that Yi Xiangxiang is rebellious, the main reason is because she is too busy, and it is inconvenient to do everything in the academy.

What is she busy with?

The first is the relocation of the headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion, and the colorful valley of Tongzhou is still preserved, but the headquarters has to be built near Kyoto to facilitate her travel. And now the Dragon Girl and Mo Wen, oh should be called Mo Zhaoxi, the Dragon Girl and Mo Zhaoxi are both in Kyoto, so it is convenient for everyone to move the headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion to Kyoto.

Throughout the New Year, Yi Xiangxiang spent most of her time designing the new Colorful Valley, and it wasn't until yesterday that she handed over the drawings to the fox fairy.

The fox fairy and the yaksha had already found a craftsman, and as soon as they received the drawings, they began to select materials and start construction.

And what Yi Xiangxiang has to be busy with next is to understand the relationship networks of various families in Kyoto, as well as some secrets.

This is one of the reasons why Yi Xiangxiang is deeply befriended by Luo Baohua, although Huanxi Pavilion can be dug, it also takes time to dig. And in order to quickly understand Kyoto in a short period of time, it is necessary to have someone like Luo Baohua explain it in detail, so that it can be more clear and thorough.

Yi Xiangxiang should sort out the relationship network, list a group of officials worthy of friendship, and select more suitable officialdom allies for the Yi family's father and son.

And then there's the business. Although all the business of Wuda Firm in Kyoto was secretly managed by Yi Hanxi, he was also in charge of the Joy Building and Paradise! But Yi Xiangxiang is still a "leader" after all, this should be seen, and the rewards that should be issued in person during the New Year, she still has to do it herself.

Oh yes, when it comes to Yi Hanxi, I have to mention Yi Hanxi's family affairs!

The Huang family in the second room originally pinched Yi Hanxi's marriage as the main mother, but now he has let go. Because Yi Xiangxiang passed the word to Yi Ruonan and said some threats that could help her in the draft and also make her get chased. So, Yi Ruonan hurriedly sent a message to his mother, because the latter could only loosen up Yi Hanxi's marriage and said that it would be handed over to the old lady Mo.

The Mo family naturally did this in a hurry, and the girl selected in the end was Chu Ci, the daughter of the Qintian Prison Supervisor.

Speaking of Yi Hanxi's family affair, it is quite dramatic, this Lord Chu of the Qin Heavenly Prison is a general figure of imperial history, and he belongs to the breed that is really upright. One day, he went to the Joy House for dinner, and happened to see Yi Hanxi feeding the stray dogs on the side of the road with food! This Lord Chu was moved when he saw it, and he got a New Year's friend when he went up! So the two got acquainted with each other back and forth, and then Lord Chu gave his baby daughter Chu Ci out of Xu Match.

Qin Tianjian is also a five-grade Beijing official, but Yi Hanxi's father is white, if you want to talk about the family, Chu Ci is considered a low marriage.

However, Chu Ci is not a vain person, firstly, she respects the words of her parents, and secondly, she thinks that Yi Hanxi is a good person, so she nodded. So the two sides quickly exchanged Gengxu, and when Yi Xiangxiang reacted, it was even the day of welcoming the family.

Many people in Kyoto say that the Chu family is stupid, in this talented city of Kyoto, who is Chu Ci not a good person, not a businessman? But within two years, those who laughed at the Chu family were stupid, and they all found out that they were stupid! Of course, that's for later.

The marriage between the Yi family and the Chu family was decided, and the happiest was naturally Yi Hanxi's biological mother, Aunt Feng, and the most angry was the mother of the second house, the Huang family.

The daughter of the fifth-grade official is much better than the seventh-grade official of the Li family, can the Huang family not be angry!

So in the past two days, Huang saw his daughter-in-law Li Yanping, how unpleasant it was! So he used some words of "you can divorce your wife if you don't come out for three years" every day to stimulate Li Yanping, forcing the latter to directly open her face and send her personal maid to her husband's bed.

When Yi Xiangxiang knew about this, she was afraid that Jiang Jingshan would do the same, so she hurriedly fed her sister-in-law a reassuring pill, so that she should not think about it.

Jiang Jingshan wanted to open the maid's face last time, but after being reprimanded, how dare she do stupid things again! repeatedly promised that he would not be stupid, and Yi Xiangxiang was relieved.

In fact, Jiang Jingshan was worried that she had a problem with her body before, but later Yi Xiangxiang asked someone to check her pulse and said that it was okay, so she was relieved.

Yi Hanxi and Chu Ci's wedding ceremony is set at the beginning of spring, and after the beginning of spring, it is spring, and Yi Mansion is also quite busy now.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Yi Xiangxiang is still an idler who is "spurned".

The "idler" was soaking his feet in the room, Shumei came in with a kettle and added hot water, and then Qingxuan walked in with a freshly inserted plum blossom.

After Yi Xiangxiang saw the plum blossom in Qing Xuan's hand, she put down the book in her hand and said with a smile: "You went to fold the plum blossom at this point?" She had never found out that Qing Xuan had such leisure and elegance.

"It was folded by Miss Five, saying that she had eaten too much at night and walked around the garden for a while, folded a few plum blossoms and inserted them, and specially sent someone to send a bottle." Qing Xuan handed the vase to Yi Xiangxiang.

The plum blossoms inserted in the azure glazed vase exude a floral fragrance, which looks unique in such a cold night. I have to say that Yi Ruofu's ability to appreciate flowers is indeed good.

"She's really idle enough, she still has the leisure to walk around the yard on such a cold day." Yi Xiangxiang complained while admiring it.

Not long after the New Year, this is the time when the ice and snow melt, not to mention the outside, there is a dragon burning in the house, and Yi Xiangxiang feels the cold coming in.

Qing Xuan explained for him: "Xiaoxi said that there was a quarrel in the second room again!" Miss Xu didn't want to get involved, so she hid out. ”

She is quite sympathetic to this fifth lady, although she was quite arrogant when she was a child, and she relied on a momentum to do things, but she is indeed a person with no bad intentions.

"Oh? What is the noise? Yi Xiangxiang put the bottle on the carved table on the side.

"It's not the second young master's business! The second young master still didn't win the lift last fall, because he couldn't participate in this year's Spring Festival! So he wanted the eldest lady to beg the Fourth Highness to find him an errand! Qing Xuan was afraid that the small case would be accidentally bumped into a few times, so he brought the bottle of plum blossoms to the bookcase.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect that her second brother was still a little self-motivated, so she said approvingly: "Isn't this good?" It's better than doing nothing all day! ”

People who have nothing to do are not only easy to learn badly, but also easy to be stupid!

After Qing Xuan put the vase away, he walked over and reached out to touch the water that was easy to smell and fragrant, and felt that it was a little cold, so he brought the kettle and added some hot water. After that, she turned back and said, "The second lady didn't let me, saying that she was afraid of delaying her homework." ”

Yi Xiangxiang felt that her second aunt was a bit one-sided, although fame was important, it was not as important as doing practical things! If Yi Ruonan can speak in front of Zhao Zixiu and find an errand for Yi Hanchen, he will do well in the future, and it will not be without a chance to go up!

Although the beginning is a bit low, it does not prevent people from going to high places!

"Eh, it's no wonder that the fifth sister is hiding out, and the second aunt is really getting more and more sophisticated." Yi Xiangxiang said helplessly.

Qing Xuan nodded in agreement, the current second lady has to compare with the eldest lady in everything, but to tell the truth, she can't compare with anything, so why bother? It's better to live your life well and run towards practical things.

"Oh yes, Miss! The news just came that today is Concubine Rong's birthday, and the Holy Lord will hold a banquet for her in Chaoyang Palace! And Kangjia Kangling won full applause with the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"! The saint originally wanted to give her a marriage to the crown prince as the crown princess, but the prince refused! However, in the end, she was named a side concubine, and she was shoulder to shoulder with Lin Zhimeng of the Lin family. Qing Xuan told Yi Xiangxiang the news that the fox fairy had just sent to deliver it.

Yi Xiangxiang's heart moved slightly after hearing the news, and she said for a long time: "Why didn't Kang Ling enter the Seven Princes' Mansion during the previous draft? Could it be Zhao Ziqian at this time...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking for balance? That's right! Although this Kang family is his maternal grandfather's family, he is also afraid that his relatives will be in power in the future. But it's also good, let the Kang family and the Lin family check and balance each other, but it can make the government stable. ”

She analyzes rationally.

Qing Xuan didn't understand these very well: "That young lady thinks, who can be the crown princess in the future?" ”

"It's hard to say! Prestigious governments in various countries have more opportunities! But you have to look at it, His Royal Highness the Prince's mind is much more difficult to guess than today's saints! Yi Xiangxiang said that she had a headache.

Qing Xuan nodded when he heard this, and then said: "I didn't expect Miss Kang's piano skills to be so superb, and she really can't hide it!" ”

"How many simple ones are there in Kyoto? But it's no wonder that my mother always wants to talk about my piano skills, and sure enough, everyone loves to work on the piano! Yi Xiangxiang raised her feet as she spoke, and Qing Xuan hurriedly wiped her dry when she saw this.

So Yi Xiangxiang remembered that day, Zhao Ziqian condescended to wash her feet, and she felt quite warm at that time.

Sure enough, the older you get, the easier it is to be moved.

Yi Xiangxiang turned over and got on the bed and let Qing Xuan blow the lamp.
