"It's better today, we will exchange the eight characters of the birthday, and when the osmanthus is fragrant in August, the Cheng family will marry a daughter, and the royal concubine will marry!"

The queen made the final decision and set the wedding date for Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian.

…

The thirtieth day of the lunar month is a special day.

In front of the door of every household, no matter what kind of family member they are and how far away they are from home, they all return home at this moment.

When the family took the child, exchanged the old charm with the new peach, the childish child took the paste and started it, with the excitement of welcoming the New Year on his face.

There are also diligent people who replace the old talisman in the morning, and at this moment take the ladder to climb the height, and put on a pair of flaming red lanterns in front of the gate of their house.

Those who have earned money this year have been replaced with a pair of exquisite wind lanterns that they bought, and there are auspicious and festive paintings depicting magpies climbing branches and abundant grains depicted in gold lacquer.

Didn't make any money. The family also lived smoothly for a year, and when they were a year older, they bought red paper by themselves, pasted a pair of red paper lanterns, and hung them under the eaves at the gate.

Cheng Yuguan has already distributed all the red envelopes of the guys, and the accounts have been completely closed yesterday, and he will only wait for the seventh day of the new year to start work before opening the box.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Lang gave their father a hand at the gate.

The father and son are still like in Chengjia Village, changing old talismans and hanging lanterns by themselves.

Cheng Liuchuan climbed the ladder and held the new peach to ask if it was crooked, Cheng Lang deliberately prompted him left and right, up and down, only waiting for his father to stare at him, Cheng Lang finally didn't dare to make a mistake and honestly cooperated.

Cheng Yuguan put the lantern issued in the palace this year in his hand, and when the new peach replaced the old talisman, Cheng Liuchuan stretched out his hand, and Cheng Yuguan presented the lantern and hung it in front of General Cheng's mansion.

The street at the entrance of the General's Mansion is a north-south street, and the Cheng family is around, and naturally there are also lords and eunuchs, who are busy at the door.

But most of the subordinates are busy in front of the door, only General Cheng's Mansion is busy by the family, so let the subordinates prepare ladders and other tools on the side and wait aside.

After a while, it may be that the steward of Beppu reported to him, and the heads of several families on the left and right of the Cheng family also came out of the gate, and sure enough, they saw Cheng Liuchuan, the Shenwei general, commanded by the Long Forbidden Army, and was hanging lanterns in person.

"Brother Cheng is really sincere, and even the lantern given by the emperor has to be hung by himself."

This street is close to the roots of the imperial city, so the people who live there have some holy graces on their bodies, and almost every household has a royal lantern.

At this moment, Cheng Liuchuan hung up in person, and it seemed that they were insincere.

A maverick is easily targeted, even if he doesn't make a mistake. It's also a mistake to do more.

Cheng Liuchuan faced the yin and yang weirdness of the neighborhoods left and right, and hung lanterns with a straightforward smile on his face.

"This man eats too much meat, and he doesn't feel the smell of meat. Our mud legs came up, but they still feel that the meat is fragrant, don't laugh at your neighbors. ”

It is as if they have been bathed in the holy grace for many years, and they no longer feel strange and precious, and the Cheng family is naturally grateful and surprised by His Majesty's holy grace when they first enter Beijing.

Cheng Yuguan's way of speaking is sometimes learned from Cheng Liuchuan.

A straight choking person in the same lineage.

Hearing Cheng Liuchuan say this, the neighbors on the left and right seemed to be choked on eating dried steamed buns, and they were speechless for an instant.

Then, Cheng Liuchuan said again.

"In Chengjia Village, it is clean all year round, and I can only take my sons and daughters to practice martial arts and boxing. Although it seems to you that it is not promising, it is finally enjoying the joy of family. No, after entering Beijing, the family is still the same. ”

"Unlike you, adults and children are busy with their own things. Our children are clingy to their families, and that's all they can do. Under the big festival, instead of going to feast and drink, they have to follow my ass and get busy. I change peaches, they take the nails, I hang the lanterns, and they have to watch around. Annoying very. A few adults laughed. ”

Cheng Liuchuan's words are very cheap.

The capital is prosperous and charming, each has its own interests, and there are many temptations to choose, and it is inevitable that the will will will be transferred, and even the family fate will inevitably be weak.

Cheng Liuchuan's words are simply heart-piercing.

They also only have some time to spend with their children in the morning and dusk, and on weekdays, they are all busy with the dragon.

Cheng Liuchuan is like this, when he is middle-aged, there are children following him, which is one of the biggest pursuits of adult men.

A few people who came to Cheng's house were weird, and in the end, they all ate and went back. As for how to toss the family after going back, they don't know.

At this moment, the smug laughter at the door of Cheng's house spread out for a long time.

To replace the old charm with the new peach, the new imperial embroidery lantern is hung, and the people will also go up and down the gate inside and out, wipe spotless, the gate of the Cheng family, as if rejuvenated, looks particularly new.

After being busy, eating a bowl of thirty dumplings at noon, the Cheng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, began to prepare intensively.

Cheng Yuguan is not proficient in cooking. Except for roast rabbits.

Chang took Cheng Yuguan, pinched the dumplings, prepared the meat filling, and finally looked at the flat dumplings that Cheng Yuguan pinched, Chang waved his hand.

"Go, Lang'er, they're going to the streets in the afternoon, and you go with them."

When the two sisters-in-law heard this, they laughed secretly.

Zhao spoke, "Little sister, let's go play." This year is the last year to relax, turn over the New Year, become the fourth princess, the trivialities of the entire prince's mansion for the New Year, you have to worry about it. But there is no more leisure when I was a girl. ”

Cheng Yuguan's straightforward temper is the easiest for people to let down their guard.

Because what she wants, she has earned it herself, and she doesn't care if she has more.

Cheng Yuguan has such a clear personality of right and wrong, so that the sister-in-law who has been with her for a few months has completely let down her guard and treated each other sincerely.

What's more, Cheng Yuguan will get married next year, and if he is out of the house, there will be no conflict of interest between him and his sister-in-law.

Moreover, Cheng Yuguan is the fourth princess of the definitive state.

The two sisters-in-law now see Cheng Yuguan, just like their sister, not like the temptation and reservation when they first met.

Zhao laughed and joked about Cheng Yuguan, and Qian also followed.

"Even when I was at home, I never imagined that it would take a lot of things to support a family after getting married. I simply married the second child, and I didn't have to go through personal relations like my sister-in-law. Little sister, you are the first person of the royal princess, and in the future, you will worry about it. Now you can enjoy the last idle year. ”

When the two sisters-in-law spoke, Chang only listened with a smile and did not open his mouth to admonish.

If it's the New Year, it's wrong, and she won't mind.

Because, it's the New Year.

Cheng Yuguan was "driven out" of the house in this way.

"Miss, shall we go find the third son?"

Cheng Yuguan shook his head.

"The third brother is a nostalgic one. At this moment, the clansmen in Beijing have all taken their families by their side. At this time, the third brother will only go to Wang Qin and them. I went, and they were only embarrassed. No, no, no. ”

When Liuyun heard this, he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but only sighed.

Time has passed, and Liuyun, who was angry and panting again and again, thought about it at this time, for Wang Cao and the others, there was only a sigh, but no anger.

"Wang Gongzi and Cao Gongzi two..."

Liuyun didn't know what to say.

Right now, the two of them are in the capital, unaccompanied, lonely and scattered, and they are already pitiful when they think about it.

"They are also self-inflicted. Otherwise, where the third prince goes secretly, they can also go to the house and have a lively New Year. ”

Hearing Liuyun say this, Cheng Yuguan smiled.

No matter how angry I was at the time, in retrospect, I don't remember the bad, only the good.

Liuyun's big temperament is like himself.

No, the process of Yuguan is a little different, she will not soften her heart because she sees others pitiful.

A drink and a peck, all of which are self-inflicted.

Say "deserved", no one is wronged.

Subsequently, the master and servant no longer talked about Wang Cao and the others, nor did they mention where Cheng Lang was now, but just wandered around the rare deserted streets of the capital at will.

The joy of the Chinese New Year's Eve makes people feel lazy.

Cheng Yuguan was told by his mother to honestly wear a thick cloak inlaid with white wind hair, a colorful embroidered lion mink fur hat inlaid with a fat circle of white wind hair, put his hands in front of his abdomen, and inserted them in a cotton roller sleeve, walking leisurely on the spacious streets of the capital in every way.

On weekdays, these roads look narrow, but now they are wide and wide, and they look neat and magnificent.

"Sure enough, there are fewer people, and even the street has become wider."

Cheng Yuguan lazily sighed.

Just walking casually and aimlessly, Cheng Yuguan likes this feeling very much.

"Doesn't Miss want to go to the Four Princes' Mansion to have a look?"

Liuyun suddenly proposed, breaking Cheng Yuguan's leisurely gait.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he stopped and turned his head to look at Liuyun.

At this time, Liuyun was wearing a pink cotton bijia pleated skirt, also inlaid with white wind hair piping, which looked round and cute.

Her eyes lit up at this time, and she looked at Cheng Yuguan proudly.

"These days, the four princes are busy, Miss and the four princes, I haven't seen each other for a month, don't you want to?"

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like this.

"Isn't your young lady busy? How can you think about it. ”

Saying that, Cheng Yuguan sighed again.

"My good interest has been disturbed by you."

From Liuyun to the four princes, Cheng Yuguan's leisurely mood disappeared in an instant. She began to struggle.

Go ahead and appear unreserved.

If you don't go, you seem to be too cold.

In the end, Liuyun's words made Cheng Yuguan make up his mind.

"In the past, the four princes came to find Miss, and Miss hasn't taken the initiative to find the Four Princes yet!"

Cheng Yuguan is a very fair person, you come and go, just rush the clouds, Cheng Yuguan decided to go today.

Moreover, the last time I said that I took the painting, it never happened due to some changes.

The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Cheng Yuguan decided, just go now!

The Prince's Mansion is not far away, just at the root of the imperial city.

Cheng Yuguan and Liuyun didn't ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, so they walked slowly, feeling the rare purity and joy of the capital while going to Xicheng.

Walking to the door of the Four Princes' Mansion, Cheng Yuguan took Liuyun and watched from afar.

At this moment, in front of the Four Princes' Mansion, it is very lively.

A familiar female envoy is directing the people below to hang lanterns.

"Yes, tighten! The door of our Four Princes' Mansion is high, and when a gust of wind comes, we will blow the lantern to swing, and fix it like this, which is not only beautiful, but also for the sake of safety. ”

The woman's voice was gentle, and the subordinates were busy while smiling and flattering.

"Aunt Mei Qing is thoughtful and careful, and she was sent by the queen mother. The four princes don't care about the house, inside and out, but they don't just want their aunt to be in charge, so our house is like it. ”

Hearing the flattery of the people below, Mei Qing lowered her head and smiled, but did not explain, but acquiesced to her own value.

Seeing this, Liuyun looked at Cheng Yuguan.

"Miss, the rules of the Four Princes' Mansion seem to be a little wrong."

After thinking about it, Liuyun hurriedly explained.

"The four princes are busy with official business, even if they open the mansion, they just go back to rest and be a place to stay. This is how the people below are, and to whom they are controlled, they will flatter. ”

Liuyun was afraid that Miss would be angry, but Cheng Yuguan just shook his head.

"What happens here, it doesn't matter to me for the time being. You don't have to explain, I understand. ”

That being said, Li'er is also this Li'er, but Cheng Yu cares about how to be free of waves.

Subconsciously, Cheng Yuguan took a step back, and then made up his mind to take a step forward.

She habitually urges herself that when something happens, solve it in person, otherwise what she is left with is too much consumption.

Seeing that the young lady actually stepped forward, Liuyun also became confident.

The two masters and servants, just so alone, the big horn, stepped forward recklessly, and stepped on the high platform of the prince's mansion.

"Stop!"

As soon as Cheng Yuguan approached the Four Princes' Mansion, he was stopped by the guards who were standing.

At the same time, the movement here attracted the busy subordinates at the door and the aunt who was directing in front of the door to turn around.

Unlike the confusion of the subordinates, Mei Qing recognized Cheng Yuguan for the first time.

I don't know that out of various thoughts, Mei Qing paused for a moment before stepping forward to relieve Cheng Yuguan.

"Okay, this is Miss Cheng Yuguan, the fiancée of His Royal Highness!"

Mei Qing's voice fell, and the busy subordinates all stopped their movements and looked at Cheng Yuguan.

The future hostess suddenly came, and everyone was a little caught up in reacting. Subsequently, someone took the initiative to ask Ying and ran into the mansion to inform the four princes.

There are also subordinates who move the ladders and other sundries at the door to make way for Cheng Yuguan.

With this kind of silent courtesy, Cheng Yuguan nodded in acknowledgement, but Mei Qing's eyes darkened for a moment.

"Sister Mei Qing."

Cheng Yuguan opened his mouth and called.

A smile appeared on Mei Qing's face, "After three years, the young lady was still young, but she still remembered me." ”

At this time, Cheng Yu was on the steps of the high platform of the Prince's Mansion, and Mei Qing was standing on the high platform.

For a while, the two of them stood opposite each other.

Mei Qing didn't know if she didn't react, so she stood on the high platform to greet her.

Cheng Yuguan stopped on the steps, no longer moving forward, just looking at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

On Mei Qing's face, the smile was stiff.

After a moment of stalemate, hearing hurried footsteps from the house, Mei Qing took two steps and stood on the high platform to Cheng Yuguan's side.

"Miss Cheng, please come in, Your Highness is busy with palace affairs, so I was able to rest and breathe for a while today. Upon learning of Miss Cheng's visit, His Royal Highness was happy to welcome her. ”

Mei Qing's voice fell, and Li Mian's figure appeared at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and when he saw Cheng Yuguan's figure really appear at the gate, Li Mian's face showed surprise.
