Chu Wuxian nodded, "I know, I can't be in a hurry, I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not too late." ”

He returned the paper to Xin Zhi and asked, "How is it in the palace?" ”

Xin Zhi looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Recently, Concubine Mei has been very low-key, and she rarely even goes out of the palace gate, I don't know what to do in the palace, our people can't get in, but it is said that the New Year is coming soon, and Concubine Mei is embroidering new clothes for the emperor." ”

"She has a heart." Chu Wuxian narrowed his eyes, "What about Wei Jiuyuan and Wei Jiuting?" ”

"Originally, the third princess was going to continue to be grounded, but the queen and the emperor talked about it, saying that the New Year was coming soon, so it would be exempted, and the second prince didn't go out during this time, and the people in their veins seemed to have clamped their tails overnight, and their subordinates thought it was very strange."

Xin Zhi touched his chin, "Are you holding back something?" ”

Xin Lu interjected, "Maybe, I fought so fiercely with the prince before, how could I give up and give up?" ”

Chu Wuxian lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, before His Majesty asked Wei Jiuyuan to go to the imperial study to talk secretly, he should have beaten him, so Wei Jiuyuan was so honest during this time, but it should be that he himself wanted to be obscure, Boyang Hou was his person, something happened, he couldn't get out of it, countless pairs of eyes stared at him, just waiting to find out his mistakes.

At this time, it is the best choice to withdraw from everyone's sight and close the door.

However, if he wants to keep his head down, it depends on whether he agrees or not.

Chu Wuxian had a plan in his heart, and said to Xin Zhi: "Keep staring, you can't relax in the palace, find a way to contact more people in the Tai Hospital, and see if you can find any clues." ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

Xin Zhi came and went in a hurry, and when he left, Xin Lu took the dowry gift, "Master, when are you going to be hired?" ”

At the mention of marriage, Chu Wuxian's expression softened again, he raised his eyes to look at the clear sky outside, and laughed, "Don't worry, wait for spring." ”

Among the auspicious days elected by Si Tianjian are those at the beginning of the year, March, and April.

Chu Wuxian originally wanted to pick the earliest, but after learning about the process of the three books and six ceremonies, he chose the date of April 18.

Xin Lu was puzzled: "Why April?" Aren't you in a hurry? ”

Chu Wuxian glanced at him, "At the end of March, the wild geese returned to the north. ”

After saying that, he got up and beckoned the little servant to prepare the horse, and it was time for him to go to the princess's mansion to eat.

The second monk of Xinlu was puzzled, "What does it matter to him when the wild goose returns to the north?" If the wild goose doesn't come back, he won't get married? ”

Xin Wu sneered: "You're not happy to say you're stupid, haven't you learned about the customs when you're preparing for the dowry these days?" ”

"What customs?" Xin Lu frowned, "Isn't it just three books and six rites?" ”

Xin Wu helpless, "the folk have always had the custom of sending geese as a bride price, the wild geese represent loyalty and commitment, the meaning is excellent, there is no condition to send wood carving geese, the man will personally go to hunt live geese, which represents the sincerity of the man, the master likes Princess Jianing so much, of course he wants to give her the best." ”

Xin Lu Daigo clapped his hands like an empowerment, "Oops, I forgot about this stubble!" ”

Xin Wu looked at his wide eyes, and patted him on the head after a moment of silence, his eyes were quite pitiful, as if to say: This big fool.

Xinlu: "......"

……

It's night.

In the Prince's Mansion, Wei Jiuyuan sat on a futon, carrying a teapot and pouring tea in his slender hand, his movements were elegant and light, flowing and smooth, and it was very pleasing to the eye.

"Master, a letter from Southern Xinjiang—"

Wei Jiuyuan's movements paused, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his henchmen coming quickly.

He staggered to his feet, "Bring it—"

The henchman handed the letter over, Wei Jiuyuan took the letter and opened it, the familiar handwriting came into view, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, wait for good news."

"Heh-" Wei Jiuyuan chuckled, read and looked at these eight words again and again, and finally slapped the table, and the tea in the tea cup stirred up and dripped onto the paper, blurring the ink marks.

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is indeed a good day."

There seemed to be two clusters of fire burning in his eyes, and they were amazingly bright.

His henchman Liu Shan watched from the side and asked carefully: "Your Highness, let's ...... next"

Wei Jiuyuan raised his eyes and looked at him, and his tone was grim: "Let someone send a message to the concubine, she knows what to do." ”

……

At the end of the year, time always flies quickly, and I am so busy that I forget what day it is.

Chu Wuxian woke up, lying on the bed and still a little dazed, he stayed in the palace late last night, and when he came back, he dealt with the matter of Jinyiwei again, and when he got up from behind the bookcase, it was almost dawn.

Take a casual bath, and almost the moment he lay down, his eyes closed.

I didn't have a dream all night, and when I woke up again, it was already dawn.

Xin Lu, who heard the movement, knocked on the door outside, "The master is awake?" ”

Chu Wuxian's voice was still hoarse from the morning, "Well, come in." ”

Xin Lu came in with the two maids of Meili and Meirong, put down the basin and handkerchief, and the maid withdrew, Xin Lu asked suspiciously: "Why does the master sleep until now, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Chu Wuxian shook his head: "It's just sleepy." ”

"Fortunately, the morning stopped early, adults don't have to enter the palace early in the morning, it doesn't matter when you sleep." Xin Lu smiled and put the new clothes on the head of the bed, "Today is a good day, the master should change into new clothes." ”

Chu Wuxian turned his head to take a look, and a black belt embroidered with a dark silver crane pattern rested on his red robe, he raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing so grandly?" ”

Xin Lu sighed, "I just forgot about you when I saw you." ”

Chu Wuxian was puzzled: "Huh? ”

"It's the twentieth day of the lunar month!" Xin Lu hated iron and looked at him.

"How can you ...... on the twentieth day of the lunar month" Chu Wuxian said and felt that it was wrong, how could this day be a little familiar?

"The twentieth day of the lunar month is your birthday!" Xin Lu laughed, "Master, you will be twenty-one today." ”

Chu Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and stroked his forehead with a smile, "I've been so busy lately, I haven't thought about it." ”

"It's not too late to think about it now, Princess Fangcai asked Xin Xing to ask."

Xin Lu picked up his clothes and shook them, waiting for him to put them on.

Chu Wuxian took off his middle coat and put on a new one, and when he heard this, his eyebrows raised, and his joy was overflowing, "She knows?" ”

"Yes, I said that I prepared a big gift for you, and I will wait for you to eat in the evening."

"At night?" Chu Wuxian put on his middle clothes, changed into a new robe, picked up his belt and tied it tightly, and the whole person immediately became energetic.

"Don't you still have to meet your colleagues and subordinates during the day?" Xin Lu arranged his collar for him, "The princess said that there was no need to rush to go, so as not to spoil her surprise." ”

"Okay." Chu Wuxian rolled up his sleeves and washed his hair, "Then I'll go meet my friends first." ”

After tidying up, Chu Wuxian pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw everyone in the Chu Mansion standing in the courtyard, and when he appeared, Xin Zhi took the lead and clasped his fists and shouted: "Congratulations to the master for being one year older, and I wish to be eight thousand years from now on." Looks like this year, looks like this year (1). ”
