"Third sister, I'm here." Wu Niang Qiongyu was wearing a pink skirt, and jumped in from outside the door with a smile, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Jinyu who was helping Li Xuan sort out her court clothes, and her footsteps immediately stopped, and she stuck out her tongue playfully.

At this time, Siniang Liu Shubi's voice sounded outside the door: "Wuniang, slow down." ”

followed Liu Shubi into the room, wearing a thick rose-patterned vermilion skirt, with a double bun on his head, and a pretty face that was a little pale because of the cold, but the rapid running brought a flush.

As soon as she entered the house, Liu Shubi saw Liu Jinyu and Li Xuanzheng looking at her with a funny face, Liu Shubi's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, and then saluted Liu Jinyu and Li Xuanfu: "Third sister, third brother-in-law!" ”

Wu Niang Qiongyu on the side, who seemed to be also interesting, walked over, stood with Liu Shubi, and then said very clumsily: "Third sister, third brother-in-law!" ”

Looking at a nine-year-old and a thirteen-year-old girl, standing side by side and saluting, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu couldn't help laughing.

Li Xuan waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Get up, there is no New Year's money today, and I will give you two the day after tomorrow." ”

New Year's money, also known as winning money.

However, the winning money was given to his children on Chinese New Year's Eve, pressed under the pillow to suppress the evil.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a blessing to the children of relatives.

"Ah, this year, the third sister is going to give New Year's money." Wuniang Qiongyu only reacted at this time, and immediately stood up and ran to Liu Jinyu's side, grabbed her arm, and said in pieces: "Third sister, you have to give more money for the New Year, otherwise you will have to be ...... than your mother."

Liu Shubi looked at Wuniang Qiongyu with some envy, she raised her head, and just saw Li Xuan standing in front of the bronze mirror in front of her, sorting out her court clothes.

Purple narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, embroidered with five pythons and five chapters, black three-colored seven-beam crown, two red long tassels falling straight to the chest, waist tied with a red belt gold and jade belt, hanging fish charms, jade jue, wisp rope, and stepping on black thick leather boots with jade patterns.

A two-foot-six-inch ivory wat is placed on top of the table.

From the first product of the king of ivory wat.

Liu Shubi looked at the ivory wat with envy in her eyes, only her grandfather in her family had the qualifications to hold the wat to the court.

Although my father has the title of Shangzhu State, he is only a medal, and he is not qualified to enter the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace at all.

……

"The clothes are a little tight, I can still wear them this year, but I have to change them next year." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Liu Jinyu, her eyes swept over Liu Shubi, who was curious, and smiled slightly.

"Lang Jun, either make a new set, make it bigger directly, and save yourself from having to revise it every year." Liu Jinyu helped Li Xuan pull the corner of her clothes, and now she is very tight.

Li Xuan hesitated slightly, and finally nodded directly.

In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the court, and he didn't need to detain and search for it.

Too much saving, but it will damage the majesty of Datang.

Tomorrow is the grand court meeting, no matter what, nothing can happen.

Li Xuan was sorting out her clothes by Liu Jinyu, turned her head to look at Liu Shubi on the side, and asked with some curiosity: "Siniang, why did you hear your third sister say that the Chen family is coming to make a big decision this New Year." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Shubi nodded with a gloomy expression.

Liu Jinyu on the side saw that Liu Shubi didn't want to speak, so he answered: "Originally, I said that I would come to Dading in May, get married in mid-August, and return to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but suddenly mentioned the beginning of the year, and the big wedding should be in early April." ”

"April?" Li Xuan frowned suddenly, and then said with some amusement: "It seems that the Chen family also has some thoughts, and it happened to be ...... in early April."

Li Xuan stopped halfway through his words, and Liu Jinyu gave him an angry look.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, although the matter of the western expedition to Tibet is not a secret among the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty now, even Tubo has heard the rumors, and may even be actively preparing for the war, but for the people of the Tang Dynasty, even the daughter of the prime minister like Liu Shubi knows nothing.

But the Chen family ...... Li Xuan glanced up at Liu Jinyu, Liu Jinyu nodded gently, and Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chen family still has some thoughts, although the Chen family is the only one in Fujian, but it is too far away from the center, and the emperor is like he wants to send the entire Gushi Chen family to Fujian.

The Chen family was naturally unwilling to be reconciled, and the marriage with the daughter of the Liu Mansion was a means for them.

Liu Shubi is a concubine, although the children of the Liu family are harmonious, and no one cares about this, but it is different when it is put outside.

Although Liu Shubi was married to the nephew of Chen Zheng, the general of the court, the general of Guide, and the head of the Lingnan march, Chen Liulang's parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and no one up and down cared about this, but once he arrived in Fujian, it is difficult to say what the people's hearts are.

If Chen Liulang can stay in the north, and then take advantage of the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to gain a foothold in the court, it is impossible to say that the entire Gushi Chen family will have a chance to return to the center of power in the Tang Dynasty.

That's why they thought about the beginning of the year, getting married in April, and then stuffing people into the army before the army set off.

Maybe the Chen family has found a way now, after all, they can't come to trouble the Prime Minister because of this matter.

"This is a good thing, maybe the Chen family will be able to leave Chen Liulang in the north, and Siniang will not have to marry far away from Fujian." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she looked sideways at Liu Jinyu, Liu Jinyu also nodded, looked at Liu Shubi with a smile and said: "Siniang, when you go back, you can prepare for the marriage with peace of mind, this time the Chen family's preparation for the marriage is weak, and Sister A will definitely not spare them." ”

"Hmm!" Although Liu Shubi is still nervous, his heart has relaxed a lot.

Liu Qiongyu on the side didn't seem to care about their conversation, but kept looking out of the door, and her ears turned sideways, as if she was listening to something.

Li Xuan's eyes swept over, and then asked with some curiosity: "Wu Niang, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Third brother-in-law, don't you know, today there is a fire festival dance, starting from Pingkangfang, going west, passing through Chongyi Fang, Kaihuafang to Zhuquemen Street, then south, going around the city, and then back to Pingkangfang." Liu Qiongyu gestured with each other, her eyes full of longing.

"So you came to my brother-in-law's house today to come back to watch the dance." Li Xuan was a little amused for a while.

The two little ladies of the Liu family did not go to Pingkangfang, but came to Kaihuafang in advance.

Compared with the bustling crowding of Pingkangfang, Kaihuafang is quieter, but it is also safer.

This must have been the idea of the old man of the Liu family.

Li Xuan turned his head sideways, and seemed to hear the sound of gongs and drums beating in his ears.

"Okay, it seems like it's almost there, so you guys should get out quickly." Li Xuan waved her hand, looked at Liu Jinyu, and said, "Sanniang, you take them with you, the maids in the family want to see it, take it out to see, don't get lost." ”

As soon as Liu Qiongyu heard that the third sister took them out together, her face was immediately full of smiles.

Liu Shubi, who was on the side, asked with some surprise: "Third brother-in-law, aren't you going together?" ”

"No, the third brother-in-law still has something to ......do" Li Xuan's words were not finished, Liu Jinyu on the side couldn't help but push his arm and said: "You haven't been out in the past few days when you go home, and now it's Chinese New Year's Eve, it's okay to go out for a walk, just stand at the gate of the fang, don't go out." ”

Li Xuan groaned slightly, nodded, and said, "It's okay, just go and see what's going on outside." ”

As soon as Liu Jinyu heard this, she knew that Li Xuan had other plans, so she gave him an angry look.

The people living in Kaihuafang are all clan royal families, and even the servants below are familiar with each other.

Outsiders can easily be recognized when they enter it, and it is even easier to be discovered if they keep an eye on a certain family.

At that time, they will not report to the official at all, and they will directly carry knives and sticks to kill, and these are all from the army.

So if there is anything, it must not be in the workshop, then it can only be outside the workshop.

……

At the entrance of the Kaihua Fangfang, on the huge door, there are two huge door god paintings, which are Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

Li Xuan stood at the door of Kaihuafangfang, followed by Liu Jinyu's three sisters, behind Li Zhu and Meng Sheng, and the Nanchang palace guards and servants, maids, and other palace subordinates scattered around, standing full.

Outside the gate, the officials of Taichang Temple, who were in charge of sacrifices and ceremonies, walked in the front, wearing hideous masquerade props, Fang Xiang, who was dressed in red and black clothes and pants, and kept beating drums and jumping.

It is followed by fire-breathing, lion, dragon dance, colorful flags, gongs and drums, stilts and hundreds of other experts who play a hundred kinds of plays.

There are those who wear Gonggong masks, and there are also those who wear various masks of Zhurong, Yellow Emperor, Shennong, and King Yu.

The streets were full of people, dressed in clean new clothes, looking at the lively social dance with curiosity on their faces.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on the crowd opposite, and every once in a distance stood a catcher from Wannian County, looking at the crowd vigilantly, in addition to maintaining law and order, he was more staring at the traffickers who abducted and stole children.

It's the New Year, and it's the time when these people are most active.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on a middle-aged man wearing a cyan checkered round-necked robe, and he saw that he was wearing a black hat, holding a long sword in both hands on his chest, but his eyes kept looking at Li Xuan.

On the other side of the entire long street, there was more than one such person, and they seemed to be staring at Li Xuan faintly.

Li Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, what the hell is going on, why are people from different forces staring at him?

After he returned to Chang'an, according to the emperor's edict, he didn't go out at all, why did there be such a thing?

Li Xuan immediately knew that something had happened in Chang'an City that he didn't know, but what it was, many people must know, but no one informed Li Xuan.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing, and if you don't know it, you can completely stay out of it.

As soon as you know it, you will immediately be stirred into this kind of storm.

After the people of the social dance left, Li Xuan's figure was no longer visible under the door of Kaihuafang.

……

In the middle hall, Li Zhu stood in front of the hall and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, there is news from Jin Wuwei, the cause of the death of the Leng family's mother and son has been investigated?" ”

Li Xuan seemed to have expected it, glanced at Liu Jinyu, and then looked at Li Zhu: "Say?" ”

"Before Leng Liang went to Hangzhou, he borrowed a sum of usury, and originally planned to bring a sum of goods from Hangzhou back to Chang'an and sell it during the New Year's Festival, but he didn't expect that the person died halfway, and the things were also detained by the Criminal Department."

"That day, the mother and son went to the criminal department, and they didn't see Pei Shangshu at all, but they saw Langzhong in the criminal department, but the things were not distributed back, and at night, someone went to Leng's house to persecute them, and the next day, the mother and son hanged themselves."

After Li Zhu finished speaking, he bowed his hand slightly.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, waved his hand, and said: "Tonight, everyone in the mansion will give out an extra month's money, and in addition, send a message to Jin Wuwei, if there is nothing to do in this New Year, it is good to rectify those who sell profits in Chang'an City, especially those gambling houses, and the property obtained should be regarded as a tribute to the brothers of the Criminal Department." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu turned around and left.

Liu Jinyu's voice sounded behind Li Xuan, and she asked softly, "Lang Jun, do you believe this?" ”

"Believe it or not." Li Xuan raised her head, looked at her caring wife, and said softly: "What the hell is going on, I will know tomorrow." ”
