Xiangguoji Temple.

The first snow of the year fell in Kyoto, and it was exceptionally cold.

Si Zhouxing was in a hidden room, enjoying plum blossoms and drinking, wearing a thick coat, and a game of chess was placed on the stone table in front of him.

Raising his hand, he picked up the jade spoon that scooped wine, and was suddenly pressed down by a slender hand, "Boy who has not reached the crown, what kind of wine are you drinking." ”

The woman who stepped on the snow was only more than ten years old, her hair was already in a high bun, her golden hairpin and temples, and her face was like a peach and plum.

"You and I were born at the same time, but the woman is early, so she can be an elder?" Si Zhouxing chuckled, pushed her hand away nonchalantly, and slapped two glasses of wine, "Plum blossom brew that has been buried for more than three years, sister taste it." ”

Si Jianing, the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty who was born with Si Zhouxing's mother and the same mother as Si Zhouxing, glanced at Si Zhouxing, opened her robe and sat down, "You still have the face to come back, and you have stayed in Shu for three years, and you don't even send a letter to your home." ”

"This is not the little brother's eyes, I believe in my sister's eyes, even if I don't say a word, my sister will definitely be able to know the current situation of my little brother." Si Zhouxing said without hurry.

Unlike Si Zhouxing, who was prophesied and displaced since childhood, Si Jianing is a real lady of the sky.

The queen mother of the two came from a family of scholars, and she contributed very much to Emperor Mu's ascension to the throne, and the queen's elder brother was a high-ranking official, and there were many scholars in the family, and the family was full of nobles.

If there is no prophecy, Si Zhouxing should also be born noble, and it is even possible to become a prince early.

Now that the storage position is vacant, in order to make up for the debt to Si Zhouxing, the emperor loves Si Jianing's daughter in every way, and he should do almost everything.

Si Jianing, who has been raised by his mother since he was a child, and Si Jianing, who has witnessed the separation of his younger brother and himself, really accepts the love of Emperor Mu, and it is difficult to predict how much he really accepts.

"If I hadn't been able to find out some news about you, I'm afraid the queen mother would be even sicker." Si Jianing glanced at Si Zhouxing angrily.

Hearing this, Si Zhouxing's face changed, his manpower was far less than Si Jianing's deeproots, and the news from Kyoto was not comprehensive, "How did the queen mother get sick, when, what kind of illness, and what is happening now?" ”

"I'm not worried about you yet. It's just that the appetite is a little worse, and it's okay to have too much hospital to recuperate. Si Jianing appreciated Si Zhouxing's anxiety before he explained the reason, "Sooner or later, you will be able to see the queen mother, but you will go to confess the guilt." I just ask you when exactly you're ready to go back to the front of people. ”

"Three days later, my father will have a banquet for the upstart of Dengke, and I will also support my younger brother at that time." Si Zhouxing hugged his fists.

The eldest prince, who has been missing for three years and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, naturally can't appear at the Dengke banquet out of thin air, and it is only appropriate for Si Jianing, the noble eldest princess, to announce it.

In the seventh year of Hongyuan, the title of the gold list, the first and third, the champion mountain Minggu, the people of Cangjiang County, Shudi, are not well known, and they move to Kyoto.

As soon as the gold list came out, the people of the imperial court beat gongs and drums to find the door of the mountain house.

The Mu Dynasty emphasizes literature over martial arts, not to mention that he is the champion of the liberal arts once every three years, and the treatment is excellent.

As early as half a year ago, the champion mansion has landed, and the sprinkling decoration has been for a long time, waiting for the new champion to move in.

The father-in-law who reported the good news knocked on the door of the mountain family with a smile on his face with the emperor's reward, "I wish the champion the joy of winning the laurels, and I especially welcome the champion to move to a new house." ”

Shan Erlang's literary brilliance, coupled with Shan Tao, a princess of the former dynasty who knows the heart of the royal family very well, this champion can be described as a treasure trove.

The three members of the mountain family had already prepared their outfits and specially changed into new clothes.

Although the husband and wife are nearly 30 years old, they have lived well over the years, and Yamajiro is proud of the spring breeze, and he is even more handsome in a green robe.

Du Yingqiu rarely wore brocade, a flower bottom, and a little accessories, but she was not inferior to Mrs. Kyoto's middle and high gate, with a beautiful appearance and graceful bearing.

Shan Tao is dressed in a brocade plain red shirt, because of his young age, combed two buns, a peach blossom silver hairpin is delicate and lovely, the face is like a jade plate, the eyes are like pearls, delicate and cute.

The father-in-law of the annunciation boasted that he had also deducted a lot of champions, and the first time he saw someone who was so outstanding in appearance alone, he smiled a little deeper.

Shan Tao prepared the reward silver in advance, and it can't be too expensive to look stammering, nor too thin to look deceitful, it's all about the experience of the previous life.

The father-in-law laughed all the way, talked and laughed with Shan Erlang, touched the rich reward in his sleeve, and also revealed a lot of news about the Dengke banquet, so that they could prepare early.

The mansion is a courtyard of one into two, not big, but the location is very good, and there are people with official status all around.

"The people in this Xingning Fang, when the champion enters the officialdom, he will also know, and there is nothing beside him, just the flower family, take care of the face every day, and avoid some edges."

Hearing the heartstrings of the Hua family, Yamajiro smiled and thanked his father-in-law for his kindness, and personally sent the person out.

The simple furnishings in the mansion are all prepared, but there are still a lot of additions, and the court only left an old gatehouse, such a large courtyard, that is, no one needs to be close to serve, and some servants who do the work of sprinkling and sweeping have to come.

These chores, the coachman Lao Xing, took care of them all, and soon took care of the top and bottom of the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

"Thank you Lao Xing, without you, it would be really difficult to do so many trivial things in our family." Shan Erlang exclaimed, thinking that the person recommended by Brother Sun was really good.

The coachman didn't have any expression, only said that it was a matter of duty.

The husband and wife of the mountain family are not used to being served by someone close to them, although Shan Tao was a princess in her previous life, she really did not receive any princess treatment, and she is also used to being comfortable.

Only invited a cook, two women who were responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and a housekeeper who took care of flowers and plants, Du Yingqiu thought about officialdom in the future, and hired an aunt who had served in the official's house to accompany her.

The coachman brought a girl who was more than ten years old and had a plain face, "In the future, Miss must always have someone by her side, this girl is quick and talkative, and she is capable." ”

There is one more person, Du Yingqiu, I don't think there is anything, it mainly depends on Shan Tao's opinion.

Yamamo only glanced at the girl's feet and nodded, "Okay, what's your name?" ”

The maid saluted and replied, "If you return to Miss, the slave's name is Yancao." ”

He didn't ask much, so he stayed, and when there were only two masters and servants, Shan Tao got straight to the point, "Did Si Zhouxing send it again?" Will you martial arts? ”

Yan Cao blinked, with a sincere expression, avoiding the first question, "The slave has some fists and feet, and she knows swordsmanship. ”

From the coachman Lao Xing to the slave Yancao, Shan Tao didn't know what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den Si Zhouxing regarded Kyoto as a tiger's den, and worked hard to improve the combat effectiveness of the Shan family.

After three days, the champion mansion was properly arranged, and news came from the palace that the Dengke banquet was imminent.

spent a small amount of money to find out the news of the list of participants from the father-in-law who handed over the post.

Shan Tao glanced at ten lines, and his gaze paused at the place of King Yong.

The emperor of the Northern Dynasty was captured in Kyoto, wagged his tail and begged for mercy, but he recognized the emperor of the Southern Dynasty as his father and spared his life. The new dynasty was established, and Emperor Mu named him the king of Yong, funny as a dog.
