Chapter 11: Chinese New Year's Eve
The days in the Valley of Dreams are simple, but the simpler the days, the faster they pass. In a blink of an eye, it was winter.
Phantom Wu and Qingyi make winter clothes together, although they can also be bought, but Phantom Wu is in a panic, and he has the right to practice embroidery.
Chang Jue has been either at Ge Sheng's place these days, or practicing martial arts at Lin Qiyi's place. Three months passed, and Lin Qiyi began to personally teach the internal skills of the Long Absolute Heart Method. Chang Jue also seems to have found the joy of practicing martial arts, and he goes quite diligently. Lin Qiyi always complained to Phantom Wu, saying that he had a high level of understanding and was about to learn his family background.
"Master leads you into the door, you can learn all your skills, but there is no end to cultivation. Your cultivation is profound, what are you worried about? Phantom Wu laughed.
Lin Qiyi listened to it and was quite proud. Phantom Wu looked at him dressed in red, and felt more and more that he looked like a big rooster.
The busiest among a bunch of idlers is Qingyi, who holds the power of money and grain in the valley, looking at the ledger that can only come in and out, and is quite anxious.
"Miss, you haven't been out of the valley for a long time. Qingyi said.
"Yes, there's been no business coming to you lately. Phantom said faintly.
"Business doesn't come to the door, you can come to the door!" Qingyi looked at her leisurely appearance, anxious, she really didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were at home.
"I'm coming to the door?" Phantom Wu didn't seem to be so poor in the valley.
"The new clothes you bought for the little flower spirits last month, as well as Ge Sheng's newly cast medicine furnace, and the newly bought bedding ......" Before Qingyi finished reporting one by one, Phantom Wu hurriedly interrupted her and rubbed her head: "Won't I be able to go......?" Where are you going?"
"I remember, the big order you went to the capital last time, and you haven't settled the money yet, right?" Qingyi had already checked and reminded her.
Phantom Wu blinked and thought about it, isn't the big order last time Ji Ye's pen? Yes, and my carriage! Phantom Wu thought about it, he felt quite painful, he couldn't just do it, otherwise where would the prestige of the dream doctor be in the future?" ”
In the early morning of the next day, the three of them got into their small carriage and headed for the capital. At night, they repaired in their own house, and early the next morning, they called Changjue, and the two of them went to the palace with congratulatory gifts.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two were stopped by the guards, and Phantom Wu remembered to show them the sign given by Ji Ye, took it left and right, and dropped a red gold palace card from the sleeve bag, and the guards saw it and immediately let them go.
Chang Jue entered the palace for the first time, and he couldn't help but be curious, Phantom Wu slowed down his pace, and introduced Chang Jue to various palace rooms as he went.
There were already palace people in Zichen Hall to report, Ji Ye wanted to go to see his son and daughter-in-law after dealing with government affairs, but when he heard that Phantom Wu was coming, he was immediately sad, and when he saw Phantom Shi Shiran coming, he showed a sad smile: "It's here." ”
Seeing his forced smile, Phantom Wu played again: "What's the matter? I'm coming to see my little nephew, aren't you welcome?"
"Why. Ji Ye sneered.
The emperor pulled them and walked towards the Qingyuan Hall at a turtle speed. Phantom Wu knew that Ji Ye didn't want to see Qingyuan by herself, and she didn't urge him, anyway, the slower it was, the more uncomfortable Ji Ye became, and she looked funny on the side: "You look like this, like I'm a demon woman who eats children." ”
Ji Ye's eyes sparkled, and he stared at Phantom Wu without speaking.
"I just went to see the kids and didn't do anything. "Phantom spreads his hands.
"Really?" said Ji Ye suspiciously.
"What have I lied to you. Phantom Wu looked at the sky speechlessly.
In the Qingyuan Palace, all the servants were there, smiling and smiling.
The little prince just woke up, full of energy, played by the green mandarin, and saw the emperor coming, and all the servants and women saluted.
Ji Ye waved his hand and said to Qingyuan: "Ah Yuan, this is my friend Phantom Wu, who came to see the child." ”
Phantom Wu stepped forward and greeted each other with the green mandarin duck. At this time, the green duck is very different from half a year ago, Xu gave birth to a child, her body is plump, at this time she has a ruddy complexion, her eyes are bright, and her whole body is full of the joy and happiness of being a mother.
Phantom spoke to her for a while, and saw that her whole person was much more easy-going and gentle than half a year ago, and the thorny armor had gradually softened, forming a stronger and softer armor that wrapped around her. Phantom looked at the two people who were teasing the child, and felt in his heart that it was probably the people who accompanied him who brought him all the power that could make people invincible.
Even if you let the green mandarin duck recover its memory now, it should be fine. But Ji Ye's eyes were burning, and when he looked at him like this, he would definitely keep staring at himself.
Be so careful, I really won't be able to eat this. Phantom pouted.
After waiting for a while, Phantom Wu got up to leave, and Ji Ye came with him.
"Your Majesty, you are so forgetful. Phantom said as he walked. "What's the matter?" Ji Ye came out happily to give someone away, but when he heard this, he was immediately nervous.
Phantom Wu stretched out his hand, "Check out." "I thought something was going on, I'll let Chiyun send the silver to Wending Lane later." Ji Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Phantom nodded and said, "The old rule, half loose silver, half silver ticket." It's more expensive to change memories than to weave dreams, you know. Ji Ye nodded generously, a picture of heaven and earth, as long as you don't come to restore my daughter-in-law's memory.
"Also, there is a follow-up to your list, and the silver is only the price of changing the memory, and the price of restoration is calculated separately. ”
Ji Ye must have reached the word "recovery", and his brain hurts. "Last time you promised to give me your carriage. ”
"Here you go," Ji Ye waved his hand indifferently, "you...... When is the next time?"
Phantom Wu knew what he wanted to ask, and his eyes rolled: "When will you come, it depends on my mood." You also know, I don't have a business, I will be kicked out of the house by Qingyi, where there are many people, there is business, so where is the most people, naturally it is the capital, and there are many high-ranking families, and there is a lot of silver......"
"It's just silver, it's simple and simple," Ji Ye knew the little woman's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and said busily: "In the future, if there is a shortage of silver money in the valley, I will send a letter." "Quite arrogantly.
Hearing this, Phantom Wu smiled, and sure enough, he was a master, but he said: "What are you talking about, I said it like blackmailing you." ”
Isn't that it, Ji Ye thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it, he couldn't offend this plague god now: "What kind of friendship is this between the two of us, helping friends should be, this bit of silver, just when I am filial to your master, as a junior, just to talk about my heart." ”
Chang Jue watched these two people go back and forth from the side, and was quite helpless about the general style of phantom robbery, but the emperor, how could he be beaten and subjected like this, but looking at the palace people who followed him, they looked accustomed to it, obviously they had long been accustomed to the mode of getting along with the emperor.
When he went back, Chang Jue couldn't help but ask, "Ah Wu...... Do you know the emperor well?"
"He, he's not very familiar, my master is friends with the former divine envoy, so when I was a child, I occasionally followed my master to the palace and met him a few times," Phantom Wu thought for a while, and said: "At that time, he was still an unfavored prince, and he especially liked to stay in the Hall of Bliss, I saw that he was always alone, so I played with him." At that time, he was too bold. As he spoke, he seemed to think of something funny and grinned.
Chang Jue looked at her and smiled, and couldn't help laughing, and felt a little lost in his heart. Phantom her, there are many, many past that I have not participated in, and I can accompany her in the days to come. Thinking like this, Chang Jue laughed again.
When he returned to the house, Qing Yi saw the two of them come in with a stupid smile, scratched his head, and thought, how much silver did the emperor give this time, Le Cheng is like this.
The next day, Ji Ye asked someone to send silver, and it was Chiyun who had not been seen for a long time. At this time, he was already the head of Jin Wuwei's guard, and his stature had grown a lot taller. Turned his head to look at Changjue, who was helping Qingyi collect some silver, and after thinking about it for a while, he found that Changjue seemed to have grown a lot taller, but he wasn't as tall as he was before, but now...... Phantom Wu tiptoed, squinted for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.
Chiyun said that the emperor ordered that the silver taels be sent first, and that they would be sent when the carriage was newly equipped with horses. Phantom nodded, and he could get a horse, Ji Ye won my heart very much.
The New Year is approaching, and after receiving the silver taels, Phantom Wu followed Qingyi to buy winter clothes for the New Year, and was busy for a few days.
"It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, should we go back to the valley?" asked Qingyi Xiang Phantom.
Phantom Wu looked at Chang Jue, who was chopping wood in the yard, thought about it, and shook his head: "Let's spend it here this year, you go and write a letter and ask Ge Sheng to come over too...... and Lin Qiyi, ask him if he wants to spend time together. ”
Qingyi listened, although he was curious about why he decided to spend it here this year, but he also felt that the New Year in the capital must be more lively, so he said happily: "Ge Sheng must be happy, as for Lin Gongzi, he will definitely come!"
Also, foodie, Phantom thought to himself.
On the second day of the letter, Ge Sheng and Lin Qiyi came, and both of them looked happy.
Lin Qiyi's first sentence asked, "Where did you buy the double flower cake you brought back to the valley last time?"
Phantom forehead. The crowd looked "sure enough".
Busy playing, the days are over. On Chinese New Year's Eve, several people cleaned up the dust, pasted window flowers and hung peach charms, and the trees were covered with red silk, which was a lively image.
Due to the Chinese New Year, the curfew was also lifted, and after the New Year's dinner, several people made an appointment to go to the market together.
Lin Qiyi walked happily in front alone, with brisk steps, Phantom Wu walked leisurely behind, followed by Changjue, and Ge Shengqingyi walked at the end, stopping and stopping along the way, very happy.
There were quite a few people in the market, mostly young men and women, and some couples with children out to hang out. There are many vendors selling knick-knacks on the street, as well as many stalls selling food, and everyone stops and stops, laughing and laughing.
The trees on both sides of the long street have withered, but at this time they are all hung with red silk, swaying with the evening breeze. Although it is not as dazzling as the Lantern Festival Lantern Market, the streets are also full of illuminations, and there are many high-rise buildings, stretching out long poles wrapped in red cloth, and red silk lanterns hanging under the poles. The market is so brightly lit and so lively that you can't even see the starlight.
Phantom rubbed his hands, feeling colder, as if it was going to snow. glanced at Chang Jue beside him, and saw him looking at everyone with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very happy.
"Ah Jue, let's go to Beishi to have a look. Phantom turned around, looked at Chang Jue and said.
Standing side by side beside Phantom, hearing this, he turned around and bowed his head slightly, Phantom Wu's little face was buried in a white stand-up collar cloak, with a circle of fluff around the collar, and the face of Phantom was even more petite and cute, with a pair of apricot eyes, which were brighter and more dazzling than the lights.
"Good. The chief never asked Phantom Wu why he went to Beishi, and nodded yes.
The two of them said hello to Qingyi behind them, and then walked towards Beishi.
There were more people in Beishi, and Ge Sheng wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Qingyi: "Hey, just go with them, don't do anything bad." ”
What can it be bad? Ge Sheng was puzzled. The corners of Qingyi's mouth rose, looking at the two people who were far away, with a deep face.
