In the days of anticipation, Chinese New Year's Eve finally came to the front with slow steps, and outside the mansion, what red lanterns, new couplets are eye-catching.

What made Gu Qing happiest was that Yu Niang ordered someone to make her New Year's clothes to be delivered. I heard that it was a bright color, but before she had time to look at it, she was put into the cabinet by Ah Huan, and bluffed her to say that the New Year's clothes could not appear until the first day of the new year, otherwise it would ruin the new atmosphere.

What kind of custom was this? She'd never heard of it.

The maids who passed by were all beaming, with pastries and candies on the first day of tomorrow, Gu Qing passed by them, his eyes were looking at the candy, and his eyes were about to fall.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone noisily set off fireworks and firecrackers, and the little light suddenly flashed in the night sky, and then went out instantly. Gu Qing sat in the corridor, watching the crescent moon playing with Ah Huan, the laughter spread everywhere, and the entire Gu Mansion warmed up.

After everyone ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, no one in the mansion was left behind, seven tables of banquets were set up in the front hall, Gu Lin was sympathetic to the people under the maids, and after the wine and food were served, he specially waited for them to enter the table together before starting to move the chopsticks.

During this period, Gu Lin was slightly drunk, smiling, staggering and raising his wine glass, saluting everyone present, saying some polite words, and then raising his head to drink.

Compared with other mansions, the treatment of Gu Mansion is not known how many times better, the use of the maids is almost the same as that of the master, Gu Lin is also born in poverty to have today's glory, the difficult years have not been forgotten, and the people in the mansion are informal.

At Gu Qing's table, there are Yu Niang, Gu Lin and Liu Ye, and the relationship between the four of them is not very harmonious, and it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing to ignore no one at the moment.

Liu Ye was unhappy, he didn't even bother to lift the corners of his eyes, and after a few bites of food in a hurry, he took the maids back to Yuyuan.

It was not surprising that she was gone, and Gu Lin never squeaked. Thinking that she was still angry with herself, talking about Gu Qing's life experience that day, causing him to be furious, he didn't give her a good look in front of the maid, both of them were short-tempered, so I am afraid that I would have to fight for a long time.

Yu Niang was worried, her chopsticks moved, and she had no appetite at all. As long as she remembered what Liu Ye had said, she panicked, she was not afraid of anything else, she was afraid that Gu Qing would not be able to accept it when she knew it.

No matter what, she could only take one step at a time, she didn't have the courage to say to Gu Qingming, she could only let her explore slowly.

Gu Qing didn't know anything, just cared about the delicious food on the table in front of her waiting for her to taste one by one, concentrated on peeling the fried shrimp, and at the end of the day, she licked the oil stains on her fingers like a crescent moon.

Gu Lin's face was obscure, no one knew what he was thinking, the wine worm crawled on his head, and the appearances of Gu Qing and Yu Niang changed alternately in his eyes. If it weren't for Yu Niang, how could he raise someone else's daughter?

At a meal, everyone has different thoughts.

After the meal, some firecrackers were set off, and the deafening sound of cannons resounded throughout the night, until playing with the crescent moon until midnight, Gu Qing was tired and climbed into bed, sleeping with a sweet dream.

The lights of thousands of homes are dim, the streets and alleys are warmly lit by candles, there are still children playing noisily and refusing to sleep, and the happy laughter of door-to-door houses overflows the windows and spills into the air.

On the first day of the first lunar month, I wake up in the morning in a lively atmosphere.

Gu Qing rarely didn't lie in bed once, and began to make up herself quickly, because the New Year's clothes she was thinking about were about to appear, haha, it was really hard to hide her excitement.

——————

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

The front of the shop is lit up, the eaves are full of red lanterns, which are bright all night, and there are many red streamers tied to the treetops, on which there are people with their expectations written, and there are many broken firecracker crumbs on the ground.

Although it is still a cold winter, it still can't stop the joy of the New Year.

Murong sat by the window on the second floor of the Zuixiang Building, and came here today to make an appointment. It's the one who used to be a good brother who rode the world with him, but now he is nothing, and there is only the gift of a monarch and a minister between them.

There was a steady sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Murong lowered his eyes, he knew that the people who were waiting were coming.

The person who came was really Liancheng, he was wearing civilian clothes today, and like Murong, he was also pure white.

Since ancient times, men have worn white clothes, both rigid and soft, and the bright and hard silhouette has a little gentleness against the white background, but it can't make people close, and there is a hint of alienation in it.

If Murong wears pure white out of a feeling of floating in the sky and the earth, leaving the world independent, then Liancheng is in the darkness of thousands of stars in the night sky, hidden and invisible.

didn't bring anyone with him, Zhao Gonggong was not at ease, and he was rejected when he wanted to come with him, heh, the reunion between brothers, what are you doing with a sissy?

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, a wanton smile, he walked straight to Murong, sat down cross-legged opposite him, and poured himself a glass of water, without the emperor's frame at all.

Murong said: "What's the matter with me?"

Liancheng was dissatisfied and asked: "What's the matter, it's a New Year's holiday, can't our brothers get together?"

Murong didn't like to hear this, he tilted his head slightly: "I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten, you are the king, and I am the minister, how can there be the word brother between the monarch and the minister?"

What is brotherhood? Compared with the high throne, it is far less than one ten-millionth of it.

Even Cheng is not angry, he is the same as before, hard-mouthed and reckless.

"Let's have some fun. He picked up the melon seeds on the side and said leisurely: "I think that at the beginning, when my father-in-law was still there, you loved to follow him to the palace and see all the beauties in the palace, but I could only be a little guy at home, busy with this and that, it was really unfair." ”

When he said the word unfair, he deliberately switched his tone so that it sounded like he was joking.

Murong was silent, and heard him say again: "Hehe, what's fair or unfair, it's good that I can survive." You and my father-in-law are really good to me, and I know very well the debt of human affection, and I always think that one day in the future, I will definitely repay you. Well, you see, I've repaid you now, and I've given you a position below me, but you don't seem to be satisfied. ”

He paused, his eyes as sharp as a vulture staring at its prey.

"However, the change of dynasties is inevitable, and the trajectory of the times is advancing, so why should we follow the rules?

"That's why you rebelled?"

Murong's eyes became cold, and he had been a brother and brother for nearly ten years, but he didn't know that he had been secretly recruiting troops and horses, forming gangs with others, trying to usurp the throne and establish himself as the king.

At that time, they were all teenagers.

"What do you think?" he asked rhetorically.

Murong looked at him for a long time, his eyes were as deep as a pool of water, and he couldn't see the direction clearly, not only others, but even himself, I am afraid that he had lost his way.

Seriously, he has never complained about these two things when he rebelled and set himself up as a king, all the people in the world want to make themselves strong, and no one can really achieve the six pure roots.

It's just that a sharp thorn hangs in his heart. Whenever I think of the mess in the harem of the former dynasty and the rivers of blood, my emotions inexplicably become angry and regretful. There are so many lives, none of them can be spared, and that little girl, heh, has already died.

Seeing that Murong was silent, Liancheng's patience for special preparations was exhausted, his eyes were like torches, staring at Wei Cai and saying, "I heard, this kid's surname is Wei?"

Wei Cai was suddenly startled, and a few strands of sweat unconsciously appeared in the palm of his hand.

"I don't know which one it is?"

As we all know, the previous dynasty was surnamed Wei, and Murong Ming knew that he was still working against him, not against him?

"Which other guard can it be? Since the emperor knows it in his heart, why do he need to ask Weichen?"

Liancheng's eyes narrowed, "Really, I thought it was because the remnants of the previous dynasty hadn't been cleaned up." ”

"Where did the remnants come from? Didn't all the people in the palace be killed by you?"

"Oh, how do I remember, it seems like there were a group of people who ran away?" He clenched on, Wei Cai, he had been paying attention to him for a long time.

Murong didn't bother to answer him, staying with him even felt depressed. In the gap between his eyes, he happened to see the beautiful women on the street.

She is dressed in a red dress inlaid with gold patterns, green silk like a waterfall, and a golden hairpin as a bun, gorgeous and elegant, which is extremely eye-catching in the crowd, and she also looks delicate and playful.

It was Gu Qing, she came from South Street, walked with a little maid, holding a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand, walking along the way, with a smile on her face.

Seeing Murong's eyes staring, Liancheng looked at it, and was slightly surprised when he first saw it, and after seeing the woman's appearance clearly, he quipped: "Have you seen someone's family?"

Murong glared at him, which was regarded as a denial.

"It's Gu Lin's third daughter, I know her, if you look at her, and tell my brother that it is, a holy decree comes down, and she is yours. "He's really watching the excitement, it's not a big deal.

"I never knew that this is how imperial power is used. ”

"So what? life and death in the world, which one is not in my hands?"

He has ambition in his heart, like a fierce lion.

Murong knew that he was no longer the same as before, and he couldn't help him, so he simply ignored him and let him talk nonsense.

The atmosphere quieted down, Murong's eyes only followed the red dress, she talked and laughed with the crowd, her demeanor was ethereal, like a fairy. She is not beautiful, but she has an aura.

"I heard that you brought the tassels of the beauty shop back to the house, I can't see that you kid would go to that kind of place, I thought you never got close to women......" Liancheng thought, his words have never been as many as today, maybe he is excited to see his relatives again. Even if he ignores him, he always feels comfortable when he talks.

Murong got up suddenly, ignoring the words he heard in his ears, and only said in a deep voice, "I have left beforehand." ”

Leaving Liancheng alone on the second floor.

There are not many guests in Zuixiang Building, almost none. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone is out to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery, only he has moved from one small world to another.

The sound of his breathing could be heard in the quiet around, and looking deeply, Murong found Gu Qing, and after talking to her for a few words, the two left together.

The hand holding the teacup tightened, and Liancheng's face darkened.
