Not long after the winter solstice, heavy snowfall after snow, almost burying the entire capital into it. Finally, as soon as the wind and snow stopped, a large number of outsiders suddenly flocked into Beijing, and if they did not pay attention, they thought that the snow was heavy and the people fled. It's just that the number of people entering Beijing is two or three times more than in previous years, which is suspicious, and they are obviously all going to the Great Prince's Mansion.

Perhaps the wind and snow have diluted the New Year's festivities, and the streets that should have been lit up seem quiet and deserted, and even the children who love to play in the snow on weekdays are closed.

Somehow, Li Liangxun looked panicked and went to Taihe Garden to find Li Ge Lao, and after a stick of incense, Li Xunzhuo was also called in. Immediately afterwards, the arrival of Li Sijin and Li Sinian brothers made the atmosphere in Taihe Garden serious and tense. Until late at night, the other three gardens sent people to remind their masters to return home, but the gate of Taihe Garden was closed, and everyone was dusty, so they had to go back to report to their wives. This made the hostesses of the gardens even more restless, and they didn't know what was going on, as for letting their grandparents and grandchildren discuss it so mysteriously.

And the five grandparents talked for a night, and when Li Xunzhuo dragged his tired body back to Xiyuan, Ling had already slept on the soft couch. She woke up and hurriedly greeted her and asked what was going on, Li Xunzhuo only shook his head and said, "After dawn, take the children to pack up our things, we have to go back to Luyang." ”

Ling was said to be inexplicable, but before she could ask again, Li Xunzhuo was so tired that he fell asleep.

Until he woke up, it was almost midday, and after walking and saying a few words to Ling's family, he went out without eating. Ling thought about it, and immediately asked people to call the three sisters and brothers of Shaohua, and told them to go back to the house to pack their things and set off for Luyang the day after tomorrow.

Shaohua felt very confused, this Chinese New Year, it was snowy outside, and most people hid at home and didn't go out, how could anyone drag their family and run out. Shaohua complained, and was immediately blinded by the Ling family, Jin Hua and Si Mo both went back to pack up their salutes with interest, and Shaohua pestered the Ling family to ask questions.

"A-Niang, this has been closed in recent years, why do you want to go back to Luyang for no reason." Shaohua sat on the chair and watched Ling command Hanxiang and Lianxiang to rummage through the room, as if it would take ten years and eight years.

Ling was so busy that he looked back and saw that Shaohua was still lazily lying in front of the stove to keep warm, refusing to leave. She crossed her waist and glared angrily, threw Shaohua's cloak over, and drove her out as soon as she spoke: "Don't ask so much, hurry up and go back to collect things, don't bring too much useless, Luyang has everything." ”

Shaohua flattened his mouth, hugged his cloak, and muttered: "Then what is useful?" ”

Ling didn't even look at her, and directly called Chu He in, "Chu He, bring your lady back, don't let it be here to annoy people." "If you don't help, forget it, you're still playing here.

Chu He took advantage of Ling's lack of anger, and even coaxed Shaohua to tie her cloak and accompany her back to Biwuxuan.

Shaohua reluctantly got up and walked out of the door, and the moment he opened the curtain, he was blown cold by a gust of cold wind. If it weren't for Ling's snort behind her, she would have almost shrunk back into the house. "A-Niang is really, you have to count people when you ask. In this kind of weather, I even feel that it takes courage to go out of the bed. ”

This year's winter seems to be unusually cold, it seems to be cold to the heart, three consecutive years of drought, two years of heavy snow, and the people are complaining.

"Fifth lady, let's go back and talk about it later, don't you see that Madame is busy." Chu He looked at Shaohua, who was dressed like a ball and couldn't stop shouting cold, so he proposed: "Otherwise, let's go back and ask Youhan, she is the fastest to inquire about things." Shaohua nodded, as if the heavy snow had cut off all news from the outside.

Sure enough, when they returned to the house, when they asked about Youhan, she seemed to be full of interest, her eyebrows fluttered, and she immediately patted her chest and talked to them. "You're really asking the right question. My godmother listened to Mother Qi on the second door, and Mother Qi is ......"

Youhan's opening remarks are always very long, and even Chu He can't help but learn Shaohua's mantra.

"Getting to the point!"

Youhan looked at the master and servant in unison, pursed his lips, and said, "Although the wind and snow have been particularly heavy recently, most people are reluctant to go out. However, I heard that this year's capital will be more lively than usual. As soon as the heavy snow stopped, many outsiders came, and now the inns everywhere were full. Some people say that they were all members of the Wang family in the past, and they wanted to move back to Beijing to live, and the properties that were originally raided by the Wang family have now been taken back. ”

"Are there still many people in the Wang family?" Shaohua held a cup of hot tea brought by Chu He, and sighed softly, his face full of warmth.

Chu He took advantage of Shaohua and Youhan's conversation to run to pack his luggage, and Youhan said seriously: "I heard that they are all side branches, maybe they are relatives of the nurse and aunt, anyway, they will enter Beijing in the name of the Wang family." ”

Shaohua frowned, "What's the benefit of pretending to be the Wang family?" ”

In the past ten years, the Wang family has been a sensitive word, and I heard that some unrelated people simply moved out of the capital because they couldn't stand being suspected and blamed. Ten years have just passed, and the emperor hasn't said anything, and the Wang family can't wait to run back.

Youhan's eyes widened, and he leaned over mysteriously, and said, "It is said that as long as it is the Wang family, you can get an errand when you go to the Great Prince's Mansion, and if you don't have an errand, you can leave a name and be a substitute." "This is a great thing, the Great Prince's Mansion is not just a matter of entering if you want to, now as long as you are in the name of the Wang family, you can get in, and you can get an errand. Anyway, there are not many Wang family, and the others are all side branches, and they will not be discovered if they report their names casually.

It's just that Shaohua is a little puzzled, why does Hongwen want so many people for no reason, even if it is to support his mother's family to make a comeback, it is not such a support method. If they were all incapable grassroots people, then even if they were found back, it would have no effect on him, but they would have to be dragged down.

Youhan didn't care about Shaohua's silence, and said excitedly: "The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month is the sacrifice day of Queen Duanming, and in previous years, the eldest prince went to worship the queen alone. But before, Long Live Lord promised the eldest prince that he would do a ritual for Queen Duanming at that time, and he would personally go to the imperial tomb to mourn. ”

Because of this incident, some people in the DPRK and China used the banner of Empress Duanming to ask for Hongwen again, and almost caused trouble again.

There were a lot of people in the Great Prince's Mansion for no reason, and on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, they wanted to worship Queen Duanming, and there seemed to be some subtle connection between the two, but they couldn't say what it was.

Just when Shaohua was wondering, Chu He had already helped her pack up quickly. Because the Ling family asked everything to be simple, Shao Hua was feeling that it was not easy for Chu He to clean up at all, and when it was time to set off, he found that Chu He was already simple. Jinhua almost emptied the entire house, she thought that Luyang was far away, and there would definitely not be as many things as in the capital. And the Su family was also sent to Luyang, and she took this opportunity to bring her more jewelry and silver taels, maybe she could bring the Su family back when she came back.

With this thought, Jinhua's mood seemed a little excited, not as reluctant and lazy as Shaohua.

originally thought that only Li Xunzhuo's family would go back, but when they got into the carriage, they found that even the three Liu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as the Pang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, came out. Shaohua is even more confused now, why even Xin Zixuan, a pregnant woman, went out with her, it is freezing this day, what if there are three long and two short on the road.

Before Shaohua could speak, the convoy had already moved slowly, leaving a pile of messy footprints on the snow in front of Li's house.

"Huh? Why did all three sisters-in-law follow us? Shaohua lowered the curtain, retracted her body, lazily held the hand warmer, and looked at Jinhua who was directly opposite her. Starting from the capital to Luyang, if the weather is good, it will take six days to walk. Thinking that he would have to stay in the carriage for the past six days, Shaohua's whole spirit fluttered.

Jinhua has already begun to look forward to how to let Li Xunzhuo meet her after meeting Su. "Didn't you say that my uncle and grandfather are not in good health, and I want to go back to visit him for my grandfather?" The unanimous tone of the Li family to the outside world is that the head of the Li family, that is, the eldest brother of Li Gelao, is seriously ill, and I am afraid that the time will not be long. Li Ge Lao couldn't go in person because of his relationship, so he asked Li Xunzhuo to go back with his family to visit on his behalf.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Patriarch Li and Li Ge were brothers of the same mother, they would have had a heart to rush back like this.

"But my sister-in-law has a body, can she still ride like this with us?" What Shaohua is worried about is that Xin Zixuan's Huaixiang is not good, and now she has to follow them on a six-day boat ride, and the whole person doesn't know what to toss.

It was already their intention for the family to go back, why did they even follow the other two female dependents, and Xin Zixuan was pregnant, but Li Sijin was not accompanied. It doesn't feel like it's going home to visit family, it's more like a family runaway.

Shaohua suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart, and the whole person seemed a little uneasy.

Jinhua thought that he could see the Su family, and he didn't care about anything else, "Who knows, anyway, she will follow, and the fifth sister seems to be reluctant to go, is it because of the relationship between the prince and the prince?" Seeing that Shaohua sat up straight, his expression was wrong, and he spoke coldly, his tone was full of sourness. That's right, the fifth sister is now a big celebrity in Beijing, and even the palace has come to the door to propose marriage, maybe the fifth sister will become the princess of the world when she comes back next year, and my sister and I will be so blessed with the fifth sister. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I don't plan to marry the prince at all, if the prince is willing to appreciate his face, or you will marry." Shaohua rolled her eyes.

"Could it be that the fifth sister is still thinking about the Lang Jun of the Xingyong Uncle's Mansion? Lang Jun, who doesn't have a title, how can he compare to the son of the world. Jinhua deliberately made a surprised expression. The fifth sister didn't know that if the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, the prince would be even more beautiful. This is a good thing that many people can't catch up with if they want to. ”

"Who told you about the succession of the eldest prince?" Shaohua grabbed her wrist and asked sharply.
