Chapter 522: Reunion
In addition to the sound of firecrackers, since the night has just begun, there are scattered firecrackers in the city of Di'an, and the sound of these firecrackers is almost connected when it is close to Hai, and the sound of one after another even faintly covers the "blessing" of the heavenly family to the people some time ago.
The Chinese New Year's Eve in Di'an City is very frequent, and although the officials need to keep the New Year for the dynasty, the people do not.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the residential alleys are lively, the neighbors are all familiar with each other, children are scurrying in groups of three or two on the dirt roads in the dark streets, and the elders of the family gather together to chat about the past, or play cards and chess such as finch cards and hemp at the table in the courtyard.
Outside these residential alleys, those commercial streets are still prosperous, and the rich and noble families in brocade robes are strolling around the temple fair market in groups, shouting, laughing and scolding and the fiery red lights reflect the lights of Di'an's thousands of homes.
"Whoa—"
Before the arrival of the hour, when the atmosphere was at its hottest, a loud hiss suddenly resounded in the sky above Di'an.
It was a fireball, a fireball that slowly climbed up from the palace in the center of Di'an.
The people who saw this scene did not panic in their eyes, but all put down their affairs and stopped to look at the fireball that slowly rose into the air with anticipation and excitement.
Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Ministry of Ceremonies will cooperate with the celebrant in the palace to set off the New Year flames. Although this year's New Year is a little nervous, it all happened in the temple and had nothing to do with the people.
This group of New Year's flames rose to a height invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people in the eyes of everyone.
After a moment of silence,
"Bang-"
The fire exploded on the pitch-black sky dome at the same time, and countless meteors with tail flames scattered in all directions with the explosion, and then exploded again on the way to flight, turning into a colorful sky and blooming in the dark sky.
In an instant, the brilliant colorful fireworks covered most of the Di'an, illuminated the sky, and also reflected the pupils of every Di'an people.
This is the New Year that the Son of Heaven has given to all the people of the world.
Watching the fireworks on the sky gradually dissipate, and the crowd of people kneeling towards Miyagi like a tide on the side of the street, Xu Yuan suddenly thought of the resignation letter handed over by the old man tonight.
Two things that don't go along at all, but they are inexplicably associated together.
After a little thought, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly.
The people's hearts are burning, but unfortunately the water that carries the boat in this world is not the people.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Xu Yuan was originally going to eat at home, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the prince suddenly visited the mansion of the left waiter of the military department, that is, the little old man of Wang Yuqian, and said that he wanted to see him, the "illegitimate son", and in the face of the prince, he could not let the fake body, and he could only put down the dishes and chopsticks to "socialize", and as a result, this treatment stayed in the palace of the soldier waiter until the time.
The matter that the crown prince Li Yucheng discussed with him tonight was the same as the last time, throwing an olive branch to recruit him, but the difference was that this time the solicitation was established under the framework of the Xiangguo Mansion.
Because Wang Shicai's identity has been invested in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The prince's private solicitation some time ago has already shown the ability of the person "Wang Shicai", with this endorsement, Wang Yuqian's little old man sent him to the Prime Minister's Mansion very justifiably, adding a lot of convenience to his entry and exit from the house.
For this matter, it was bitter for Wang Yuqian's little old man.
His harem caught fire.
The noble-born sons-in-law are still only mixed in some Qingshui Yamen, and an illegitimate child was actually arranged by the master to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion like this, is this appropriate? Of course not.
The big house, the second room, and the third room are all noisy.
If this Chinese New Year's Eve hadn't been for the fact that the prince was in the mansion, those mothers-in-law wanted to make things difficult for him Xu Yuan, I am afraid that Wang Yuqian, a little old man, would be able to pee his pants on the spot.
After all, according to the custom of Dayan, the younger generation has to kowtow to the elders.
Looking at these house fighting scenes in the palace, Xu Yuan somewhat understood how bad Li Zhaoyuan's environment was in the palace.
Wang Shicai, who has the identity of the head of the family, can be bullied like this, not to mention that people in the red-walled court can die at any time.
To get back to the point, the fact that Prince Li Yucheng visited the top level of the Xiang Party on Chinese New Year's Eve is quite interesting, and last night's act of stopping Li Junqing was already regarded as a vote for the Xiang Mansion, and tonight he visited the top level of the Xiang Party when Xiang Guo had already submitted his resignation, in a sense, His Royal Highness the Prince has completely stated his position, and when the turmoil in this matter passes, this prince of the current dynasty can be regarded as half of his own people in the Xiang Mansion, the kind that uses each other.
Thinking about these trivial matters in his heart, a tentative voice gently came into Xu Yuan's ears:
"Third son, it's really a sin to let you go out on purpose for the New Year, and the three unsuccessful ladies of the little old man also made you laugh."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, but saw that Wang Yuqian, the little old man, was cautiously looking at his face.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Wang Yuqian's information Xu Yuan has seen it, although this little old man has his back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but his three wives are all from a big family in Beijing, which can be regarded as a political marriage.
Those families climbed to the Xiangfu through Wang Yuqian, and the Xiangfu also controlled those families through Wang Yuqian, so in the Shilang Mansion, although Wang Yuqian had a great right to speak, he was not his word.
Smiling slightly, Xu Yuan waved his hand lightly, and continued to look out the window:
"It doesn't matter."
"Huh."
Wang Yuqian smiled wryly, but the words did not stop, and continued to ask cautiously:
"Third son, can this year be regarded as over?"
Yes, it turns out that this old man just wanted to find a topic to stir up.
After being dumbfounded for a moment, Xu Yuan continued to fight down the opponent's edge:
"The fifteenth year of the first month is over, why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang Yuqian's mind tightened, and he rubbed his hands:
"What about the New Year's Feast in the palace on the first day of tomorrow?"
According to common sense, Wang Yucheng, as an important minister of the court from the third product, was going to guard the country for the country on Chinese New Year's Eve today, but today he directly submitted a copy of the medical report, and returned directly to the house without waiting for the imperial court's reply.
And Wang Yuqian is not alone, tonight, half of the second- and third-grade officials in the court have been notified to return home without permission.
As for why there was no reply?
It's not because the procedure for reporting illness is complicated, but because the senior officer who approved the complaint handed over a resignation and went back to the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion for the New Year.
However, as for how to reply to this matter, Xu Yuan had some deliberations in his heart.
It is not a big deal for these court officials to return home on Chinese New Year's Eve, this is just a clear attitude, but if you don't go to this kind of thing at the New Year's Banquet, this attitude will expand, and the situation will easily get out of control at that time.
Jumanji's game belongs to yes.
With a chuckle, Xu Yuan's eyes bent, and he said softly:
"Wang Shilang,
"You're just complaining, not a doctor."
When he returned home tonight, Xu Yuan did not hide his traces.
The carriage of the soldier stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xu Yuan entered the courtyard through the side door so openly.
The attitude expressed by the prince tonight is that he needs "Wang Shicai" to be the microphone, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a big succubus leaning against the courtyard gate waiting for him.
As the chief of the black scales, Lou Ji is actually really a lonely person, especially after killing Granny Long with her own hands that night, and even losing a friend who can talk.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve when everyone was reunited, she had to come to him as a little brother.
However, after some jokes and ridicule, the big succubus still didn't force him to stay by his side for the night, took Xu Yuan to the door of the inner courtyard, gave him a chest hug, and left quietly.
After several twists and turns, when Xu Yuan returned to the inner courtyard, it was almost time to approach.
Along the alleyway of the inner courtyard all the way in, Xu Yuan pushed open and stepped through the open door of the main courtyard, and saw a warm picture like an ordinary person.
It was pitch black outside, but the main hall was still brightly lit, and the three figures were each doing their own thing in the light.
Xu Xinyao, who was dressed in festive red and new clothes, was half-lying on the table, holding her fair cheeks with one hand, drooping her slender and dense eyelashes, a little drowsy.
For the study of Emperor Sean's corpse, Dora Yao also made great efforts, plus to study the soul ring that stored demons, it is estimated that there is no rest for several days.
Feng Jiuxuan was still dressed in white, sitting on the side with his eyes closed and recuperating with a calm expression, and there was still the broken sword on the table in front of him.
Daddy Xu Yinhe sat on the main seat, calmly holding a scroll and browsing quietly, there was a porcelain cup in front of him, the porcelain cup was emitting bursts of heat, and next to the teacup was a chessboard, the chessboard was black and white, but the book he was holding in his hand was obviously gone.
The corners of Xu Yuan's lips hooked up a smile,
Although the temple is high, there is also family affection.
I'm waiting for him.
While slowly stepping forward, Xu Yuan leaned out his spiritual vision and glanced at the chess game on the board, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xu Yuan knows a little bit about Go, but he can only understand it.
The game of chess on the table does not seem to be played by this father, because black chess is a one-sided slaughter of white chess, and white chess is directly hit by the knife at the beginning, but with a hundred hands, black chess has slaughtered the big dragon of white chess, and even two live chess pieces cannot be found in the whole game, which is too bloody to bear to look at directly.
"Poof"
A chuckle spread in the silent courtyard, and Xu Yuan was thinking about whether it was when Xu Changge's forced king to be slaughtered, Feng Jiuxuan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating over there, suddenly glanced at him sideways, his eyes calm.
“.” Xu Yuan.
“.” Feng Jiuxuan.
A moment of silence,
Xu Yinhe, who was on the throne, slowly put down the file in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the third son in the courtyard, and said:
"You're all back, what are you doing in the yard?"
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes blinked, and he continued to walk towards the house.
Today's New Year, you, as a mother-in-law, can't beat him up for such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly had a clear thought, and said with a chuckle knowingly:
"Father, your level of self-play is a bit of a release, look at what this black man has killed the white son, the level is too bad, next time you are bored, I will accompany you."
“.”
Xu Yinhe was silent for a moment when he heard this, and glanced at Feng Jiuxuan on the side with a slight smile.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuxuan's thin lips also had a hint of a smile, and said softly:
"The time is coming, you can wait for next year for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home a little later."
In the previous life, it was from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., but in the Great Yanzi time, it was the boundary of the day.
Stepping into the main hall, the sleepy girl lying on the desk also raised her eyes and said with a smile:
"Third brother, you're back."
Xu Yuan passed by her side, rubbed her long soft hair casually, then sat down beside her and asked in a low voice:
"Xu Chang. Oh, what about Big Brother? ”
He didn't see Xu Changge when he came back, and according to common sense, this father would not arrange for his family to go out on a mission on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xu Xinyao blinked her eyes, and subconsciously swept to the empty seat on the side, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, blinking her beautiful eyes, slightly puzzled:
"Big brother, he's still here just now"
Xu Yuan reacted quickly when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the back kitchen:
"Heh, I guess I sensed that I was back, so I ran to cook in advance, um. I'll go to the back kitchen and have a look. ”
As he spoke, Xu Yuan stood up again before he sat on his hot ass.
Seeing this, Xu Xinyao also stood up and said with a smile:
"Then Xin Yao will also go to help."
"Come on, did you want to blow up the kitchen?"
"Xin Yao also learned some cooking skills when she went out to travel."
"That's okay, our two saints, one origin, what you make should not be able to eat the dead."
"Brother! What are you talking about? Xu Xinyao carried a hint of anger.
As she spoke, Xu Xinyao jumped up and down with Xu Yuan while laughing and walked out of the main hall.
After a brief period of bustle, the warmly lit main hall returned to silence.
“.”
Looking at the backs of the two children leaving, Xu Yinhe's deep eyes had a loving smile, but this smile only lasted for a moment before it dimmed again.
Originally, it was going to be even more lively today
"Since you have chosen this path, go ahead."
An indifferent voice came from the side, and Xu Yinhe glanced at Feng Jiuxuan in response.
Feng Jiuxuan lowered his eyes and looked at the broken sword in front of him, and his voice was very soft:
"Qian'er is dead, Chang'an is also dead, even if it is for them, you Xu Yinhe have to finish this road."
Xu Yinhe's response was very calm:
"I just don't want to see this room get more deserted."
"Then you do everything to the extreme."
"Heh, this matter is not secure, you bother."
Xu Yinhe said that, and asked in a low voice:
"Aren't you going to see your old man in the Black Prison tonight?"
“.”
After being quiet for a moment, Feng Jiuxuan shook his head gently:
"Seeing what he does, family affection is not worth mentioning to him."
Xu Yinhe glanced at Feng Jiuxuan deeply:
"When you lose everything, you change."
“.”
Feng Jiuxuan lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping from the inner kitchen.
"Get out! Who let you in. ”
"Hey, I'm here today to help."
"Did I say I needed help? Long God, don't let me repeat it a second time. ”
"Third brother, eldest brother, stop arguing."
"Tsk, Xu Changge, are you particularly sick, today's New Year, you move me to try, you see if your father beats you, if your father doesn't beat you, if your father doesn't beat you, your uncle will have to beat you too."
"Oh?"
"Hey, hey! Wait a minute, Xu Changge, you put the knife down first"
“.”
“.”
Listening to the movement coming from there, the two middle-aged men in the hall glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.
