Chapter 164: Chinese New Year

Zheng Duo pursed his lips and did not speak.

Xiahou Yu could understand his feelings.

When Emperor Wuzong began to favor other concubines, Du Hui also pushed her in front of Emperor Wuzong like this, she was sad and aggrieved, and she stubbornly stood there and refused to step forward. But later, she woke up in vain from her mother's longing anticipation.

She could ignore Emperor Wuzong, but her mother needed him, and her compatriot's brother needed him. She could only endure it and force a smile.

What happened these days, although she hid it from Zheng Duo, how could she not know how smart Zheng Duo was?

He was just pretending to be confused and comforting her.

But she couldn't let there be a rift between Zheng Duo and her uncle.

Even if there was a rift between their father and son, she had to find a way to mend it.

He still has a long way to go!

Xiahou Yu stared intently at Zheng Duo's eyes.

Zheng Duo was forced to lower his head by the sharpness in her eyes, and had to mumble "I know".

Xiahou Yu's face was slightly pale, and he dragged Zheng Duo to Zheng Fen.

Zheng Fenzheng was talking with a few celebrities in Xiangyang, and made an appointment to go to the temple fair on the first day of the Lunar New Year: "...... The first incense stick of dawn is very effective. A few days ago, Lord Wang came to Xiangyang to preside over the nine-product evaluation, didn't Brother Chun'an get the first place? I heard that he had made the first incense stick in Putuo Temple before dawn. ”

"And this kind of thing?!" Zheng Fen was very interested when he heard this, but when he looked up and saw Xiahou Yu and Zheng Duo, he had to stop the topic and invite the two of them to come in and talk.

Those celebrities in Xiangyang greeted Xiahou Yu one after another, praising Zheng Duo for his heroic spirit and the demeanor of his ancestors.

Zheng Fen couldn't see anything on the surface, and respectfully saluted several celebrities, and was very disdainful of Zheng Fen from the bottom of his heart.

On the surface, he has few desires, but in fact, he is camping. In order to be promoted to the rank of knight, I actually thought of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha!

Not the ignorant women and children!

At this time, the literati mostly believed in religion, and women and children believed in Buddhism.

Xiahou Yu stared at Zheng Duo, for fear of his youthful temper, and couldn't help but show his feet for a while. When I saw him calm and atmospheric, neither humble nor arrogant, a big stone in my heart fell to the ground.

The celebrities of Xiangyang recommended Putuo Temple to Xiahou Yu and blew the Putuo Temple to be unparalleled in the world.

Xiahou Yu has seen a lot of this kind of bragging, just sitting there and laughing and listening, looking very well-cultivated.

Zheng Fen was very satisfied, and felt that Xiahou Yu and Zheng Duo had earned him enough face, so he instructed Zheng Duo like a reward: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will go to Putuo Temple to worship incense, and you will accompany you." ”

Zheng Duo bowed down and responded "yes".

Zheng Fen nodded with satisfaction.

But when Xiahou Yu and Zheng Duo came out of Zheng Fen, Zheng Duo couldn't hold back any longer, and spit at Xiahou Yu: "Look at him like this, what can I do?" I actually went to ask God and Buddha! "Very disdainful.

Xiahou Yu scolded: "Even so, you have to endure it for me." Who made him your father! ”

Zheng Duo was discouraged and went to help Xiao Rong stick to the door god.

Zheng Fen plays around with those celebrities every day.

Jingzhou couldn't wait for Zheng Fen to go back, so they sent someone to urge.

When the envoy saw Xiahou Yu, his legs were weak - Zheng Fen sent two people to see the eldest princess of Jinling, the first one was beaten, and the second was directly killed by the cane. And the one who was killed by the rod was still Li Ji's brother.

It used to be that everyone fought for the errand out of the house, but now you push me and don't want to go out. Especially to go to Xiangyang Mansion.

Xiahou Yu looked funny, and directly handed over the person to Zheng Fen.

But she was still a little uneasy, so she asked people to listen to what the envoy said to Zheng Fen.

She sent to listen to the person in the corner of the wall come back and tell her: "It is said that I was ordered by Li Ji to ask when my lord will go back?" The things for the New Year at home are all prepared, just waiting for the adults to go back. ”

His own clan brothers are dead and there is no question word, no wonder this Li Ji can be so arrogant.

Xiahou Yu sneered and said, "What did the adults say?" ”

The maid said: "The lord waved his hand with some disgust, and asked the envoy to go back and tell Li Ji that his old man's home was in Xiangzhou for the New Year, so that Li Ji didn't have to be busy." ”

Xiahou Yu was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you say anything else?" ”

"Nope!" The maid shook her head.

It seems that his uncle is determined to send several children to Jiankang.

So in order to avoid Li Ji and others from crying, they simply didn't squeak and let everyone have a good year.

Xiahou Yu nodded.

The end of the year is also approaching.

There were no one on the street, but the lanterns and peach charms of each house were hung.

Xiahou Yu's new New Year's clothes that he had ordered for the servants around him were also delivered.

Everyone's faces were beaming.

Xiao Huan is still very busy.

As he expected before, several sons of Emperor Wen of Beiliang made a fuss, but Gu Xia's big Sima over the years was not done in vain. The two sides have come and gone, Emperor Wen's coffin has not yet been buried, and he has been fighting openly and secretly for several rounds.

Lu Yuan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take Beiyongzhou.

But Lu Huai, as Xiahou Yu expected, was afraid of being beaten, and lost confidence in the beating, and was unwilling to lead the troops north no matter what. And not only did he not want to, but he also persuaded his nephew Lu Qing, who wanted to go on the expedition, not to take risks easily, saying that Lu Qing was the future head of the Lu family, the son of a daughter, and he would not sit under the dangerous wall, and just leave the war to others.

made Lu Yuan angry half to death.

"It looks like Lu Huai is useless!" Xiao Huan was very satisfied with this result, and happily asked Song Qian: "The Lu family's generation is also Lu Qing, right?" ”

Song Qian smiled and bowed his head and offered Xiao Huan: "There is still a Lu Qing in the Lu family." ”

Xiao Huan said disappreciably: "I won't know if it's powerful until he has practiced for a few more years." ”

Song Qianxiao should be.

Xiao Huan and Song Qian: "What is the eldest princess doing?" ”

He is a staff member, so it's not good to pay attention to what Xiahou Yu has done all the time, right?

Song Qian couldn't say anything, and said, "I don't know, I'll go and help the governor take a look, right?" ”

"No need!" Xiao Huan said, "I'll just ask!" ”

But you have to ask "casually" two or three times a day.

Song Qian didn't say this in front of Xiao Huan, and said it with a smile, and the matter was revealed.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Huan first had a regimental New Year dinner in the barracks, and then drank a meal with his own subordinates, and rushed home It was past the unitary hour, and the sky was completely dark.

In the brightly lit hall, only Zheng Duo and Xiahou Yu sat there, waiting for Xiao Huan to come back, eating melon seeds and sugar, and gossiping.

Xiao Huan changed out of his cold clothes and said, "What about my uncle?" ”

Zheng Duo lowered his eyelids, and Xiahou Yu had no choice but to answer for him: "It was said that someone invited him to drink, but he hasn't come back yet." ”

He did not say whose house he went to, nor who he had a treat.

A bold assumption popped up in Xiao Huan's mind.

Could it be that Zheng Fen went to drink flower wine?

The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he didn't understand anything, and said with a smile: "Uncle is very popular, and there must be a lot of people to feast for the New Year." Why don't we eat it first? ”

They originally did not expect Zheng Fen to come back at this time, and they felt that Zheng Fen was too embarrassed to do this, and the two siblings were unwilling to tell Xiao Huan, so they smiled and said "good", divided the main and secondary respects, sat down, and ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
