After determining the meeting place, Shangguan Yi and others began to prepare New Year's goods, in addition to the raw materials, the next steps are carried out by themselves, such as buying various materials to make pastries, buying some meat back to boil, etc., Shangguan Yi even bought a high-quality beef and sheep from a friend's friend, and sent it over when the time was almost up, and he personally processed it into a snack or boiled into soup to warm his body.

Of course, because the meeting place is the Prime Minister's Mansion, the above process is basically carried out in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Yi and the three of them are very unceremonious to occupy the magpie's nest, and the cooks who originally served the Prime Minister's Mansion have become helpers, but they don't dare to have any complaints, even their own adults have forgotten the unwritten rules of the gentleman's kitchen, and they will come over to help when they are free, and what gossip do they dare to say?

It is worth mentioning that women are really a very strange creature, Shangguan Yi has completely failed to understand whether Hua Xiangrong likes the phantom dance or not, if he doesn't like it, even if he doesn't show his hatred, he won't lead the devil to his home, right? Invite her to prepare things for the New Year, emmm, although the pastries made by the two of them are indeed full of color and flavor, and they are not much worse than the shop he often visits, but Shangguan Yi always feels that something is wrong.

In the end, he could only reluctantly accept the fact that the two women seemed to be friends. As for later, when the number became three, he was already unfazed. As for who the third person is, he is actually Yue Zhengdao's wife.

Yue Zhengdao's marriage is actually very successful, his wife Chen Qianxian is just like what others say, beautiful as a flower, gentle and considerate, everyone is beautiful, the pattern is also good, she is a woman worthy of love, Yue Zhengdao is naturally fascinated, so this New Year's party is not willing to leave her at home alone, let her be alone for the New Year, so she brought it together, anyway, there are no outsiders, although Qianxian doesn't know each other, but Yue Zhengdao is very familiar, so it doesn't matter. At this moment, I heard that Hua wanted to allow the two of them to prepare some sweets, so she volunteered to come over to help, turning the team of the two into three people, and also made the apprehensive Shangguan Yi stay away from that land of right and wrong.

The predecessor once said: Three women in one play, provoke these three women, I am afraid that I will die very miserably, plus the little monk who will stab himself at any time, facing enemies on all sides, it is better to coax some.

During this time, because it was still early before the Chinese New Year, there were less than ten of them when they were full, and they didn't have to prepare so many New Year's goods, so in addition to their daily exercises, the three of them had to do other things to pass the time, such as sparring. They can use weapons in their battles, but they are wooden, in addition to not being able to catch the moves, the weapon is also considered a defeat, but the latter situation basically does not appear, and the point is so far, they don't show their real skills, and they don't care about winning or losing.

It's just that even so, Shangguan Yi won the most games, even if Hua Xiangrong broke through to the Triple Heaven, it was the same, and Shangguan Yi did not use double bursts to increase his strength. Of course, the main reason is that this kind of playful competition has nothing to do with the quality of internal forces, but the important thing is skill. Compared with skills alone, the little monk is still far behind, although Hua Xiangrong is good, but she has been majoring in the internal skills and supporting exercises in "Bauhinia Jue" for so long, and the tempering of skills is still a little worse. On the other hand, Shangguan Yi, he has seen the terrible of his peak, so he cultivates according to that state, plus he has frequent missions, and there are many masters he has faced, and the progress in skills and experience is very huge, plus although most of the effectiveness of the night is still in the dantian, some of it has been absorbed, which alleviates Shangguan Yi's problem a little bit, and it can be regarded as a small enhancement of him, and it is normal for the little monk and Hua to be invincible.

Of course, this is not to say that they really fight, these two people really can't beat Shangguan Yi, "Daguang Jue" and "Bauhinia Jue" really broke out, Shangguan Yi is also difficult to deal with, maybe it will not be easy to win how much, but the three of them shouldn't have any chance to fight to the death, right?

Mo Lan sometimes comes over to send some rare playthings or food he has collected, saying that he has also participated in the preparation of New Year's goods, but he is really busy there, even busier than Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin, the reason is not that his family lives in the Pacific Ocean and is wide, but that there are no talents under him who can take charge alone, like Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin, the disciples under his hands are already very strong, and the subordinate officials and ministers have been screened for some time, and those who remain are capable, and these two can get things done with a word, without having to think too much about themselves, but Dali Temple is different from those, and the talents needed are too difficult to find, so they didn't find it before, Mo Lan can only work hard for herself.

Qian Quanlin only said that he would pick some good wine, and by the way, he brought some meat over and didn't follow. The reason is not that he is cold, and Jun Yishen is not familiar with them or anything, there are two, one is to avoid suspicion, although it is said to be gathered together for the New Year, but you have been affectionate and affectionate in advance and like a family, it is not very good, especially now that most of the power of the court is actually in the hands of Wenchen, the generals are not used to this, you, the leader, wear a pair of pants with others...... What dynasty are we going to, what are we discussing?(This issue of discourse is mainly no war, and then there is the rise of Mo Lan's army, catching up with the footsteps of the two bigwigs, but Mo Lan is also a Wenchen, and rounding off means that Wenchen's right to speak increases again.) Second, it is the military generals on the border of the Northern Cold Strait, the transfer of troops, although it cannot threaten the East China Sea for the time being, but Qian Quanlin's keen sense of smell senses a little threat, so he has begun to deal with it, and recently held a meeting with the soldiers to discuss the deployment of defense, because it is far away in Kyoto, so it is still a little troublesome, and can only talk about the troops on paper first, so as to respond to all changes, I hope that Zhongzhen will withstand the pressure and not be defeated so quickly.

Yes, Qian Quanlin is not optimistic about the victory or defeat of the war between Zhongzhen and the Northern Cold War, the battle between the lamb and the wolf, the result is just how long the lamb can hold out.

Time passed in such a little by little, and the New Year was gradually approaching.

On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor held a New Year's Eve party as usual, but this year's party was not so entertaining, but more inclined to the imperial court's own summary meeting, only officials can participate, even family members can not be brought, let alone invite unrelated people to participate, so Shangguanyi and others can't participate together, they are also happy, let Jun Yixian and others go to the meeting, people without official positions to play in the mansion, isn't it beautiful?

As for why the emperor wants to do this this year, in fact, it is still Shangguan Yi's sin, the last time he pulled Jun Yishen to play with fireworks, Jun Yishen put a and Changlongsheng out, and the emperor pushed the boat back to Hechang and prosperous, and the world was Chang'an. This is also the goal of the development of the East China Sea, since it is proposed, it cannot be regarded as not happening, it is necessary to strive to achieve it, for this reason, the emperor discussed many times in the early dynasty, and also promulgated a lot of measures, now that a year has passed, it is time to accept the results of this year, and have a general grasp of the plan for the coming year, so it is natural to have this summary meeting, in fact, it is overtime, eh, the Chinese New Year's Eve has to work overtime, these adults are also miserable, and the blessing of Tuojun Yixian has become so miserable.

However, the emperor didn't embarrass these people too much, and she also knew what day it was, so praise was the mainstay, punishment was supplemented, and the summary meeting ended quickly. According to her policy, what you do well will naturally be greatly rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be liquidated in the future, and naturally Mo Lan from Dali Temple will help her solve it if she makes small moves, so she is not afraid of deception at all.

After Jun Yishen, Qian Quanlin and Mo Lan finished this meeting, they returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together and started today's topic: New Year's Eve party~

Because it was a very private party, no one was holding a shelf, everyone was relaxed and pushing glasses, drinking sake or tea, and talking about all kinds of interesting things like ordinary friends.

The wine was brought by Qian Quanlin, and it is said that it is the fruit wine he treasured, and the spoils captured during the war in the past were first-class goods, so he directly laughed at it.

He said it seriously, but Jun Yishen and others were a little embarrassed to listen to it, and Shangguan Yi even teased him for enriching his pockets.

It's just that Qian Quanlin said very naturally: "War, the winning side will naturally make a lot of money, and the soldiers will not be in vain to die if they get some additional benefits, there is no fool who only works hard and does not get rewards, and it is also my ability to get the spoils, at least we won." ”

What he said was justified and a little proud, but this time no one refuted it, he was right, if he was defeated, there would be nothing, not to mention greedy for a little benefit, he couldn't even get some of the spoils he deserved, and he had to lose land and compensate for money due to countless deaths and injuries, and he had to endure his grievances, and backwardness was to be beaten. Qian Quanlin led the troops to fight and won, Mo said that he took a few pots of wine, even if he took more things, no one would say anything, even if it was the emperor, as long as he won, it was easy to say.

"A cup to you, a toast to your invincible, invincible, invincible demeanor on the battlefield!" Shangguan Yi toasted to Qian Quanlin, and there was no ridicule in his eyes.

"It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes, don't look at our current scenery, we were also killed and disgraced, and it was very embarrassing, and there was no such thing as being invincible. Qian Quanlin smiled helplessly, and only after explaining did he clink glasses with him.

"Besides, you were a pawn at that time, and it was useless to have ideas, and that dizzy old thing didn't listen to you as a recruit at all, and it didn't count if you were killed and lost your armor. Jun Yishen glanced at him and complained.

After his complaints, Shangguan Yi and others, who were shocked by Qian Quanlin's words, suddenly realized that Qian Quanlin was indeed not to blame, and it was indeed impossible to count, even if I had all kinds of good talents, but it was useless to have no right to speak, so I could only watch the army defeat.

"Respect you, for the East China Sea is fortunate to be protected by you. Mo Lan raised his glass, he is also a person who has experienced the dark moments of the East China Sea, Qian Quanlin can be ordered in that situation and carry the banner, he has always admired it, and now he knows some of Qian Quanlin's past, and he admires it even more.

"That's what I should say, I've seen your wrist lately, and it's really beautiful. Qian Quanlin also praised Mo Lan with emotion, as a famous general like him, he was never afraid of a god opponent, but a pig teammate, as long as the rear support was pulled back, the outcome of a war may be doomed. In a sense, Mo Lan's various actions this time provided him with great convenience, which was something he couldn't handle well, because of the different powers.

"Hehe, that's also the cooperation of the two, otherwise how can I have this ability?" Mo Lan blew the rainbow farts of Jun Yishen and Qian Quanlin, and finally pulled and pulled, and the three of them clinked glasses, and only after drinking this glass of wine could they be regarded as uncovered.

"Come on, come on, don't just drink, eat something, this is a delicious meal we have specially prepared. Shangguan Yi beckoned everyone to get off the chopsticks, but everyone didn't know how to put them down for a while, there were too many types.

Last year, Shangguan Yi and Jun Yishen simply ate in a small pavilion in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that it was a small pavilion, but it was actually not small, but now they are staying in the Huxin Pavilion in the backyard.

Yes, it's the kind of lake-center pavilion that paves a way to the center of the lake and builds a pavilion there, in the backyard of Jun Yishen's house.

If Shangguan Yi hadn't known that this mansion was rewarded by the emperor, when he saw it, he blurted out a big dog.

This pavilion is for a bunch of literati vassal elegance, quite large, at this time there is a huge round table in it, full of food, it looks quite shocking.

Qian Quanlin thought for a while, and took the lead in picking up a piece of bacon, which he had never seen before, as a senior meat lover, he wanted to taste it to see how it tasted.

The unique taste of bacon exploded in his mouth, with the unique taste of mutton, a little wild, just like the food that was hastily eaten in the army, and he was very nostalgic.

"Yes, this sheep should be the top-grade pang goat of Beihan, tsk, you are so careful that you have found such a material. Qian Quanlin praised.

The cattle and sheep of Beihan are the top grade of cattle and sheep, their breeding methods, regional characteristics lead to them to raise such cattle and sheep, which is also recognized by the world, and the high-grade pang goat is one of the boutiques. It is quite difficult to find such cattle and sheep in the East China Sea.

"Money can make ghosts grind, and I have to thank the chef in Jun Yishen's mansion, otherwise I might waste good materials, haha." Shangguan Yi laughed, although he literally meant modesty, but anyone could hear the smugness in his tone.

Jun Yishen tasted it, frowned, took a wooden basin and spit it out, this thing tasted too strong, he tasted lighter, and he couldn't get used to it.

"You try this stewed mutton, the chef in my house made it, this time I also deliberately used the mutton of the cold plain sheep from the Northern Cold, the taste is delicate and very good, the marinade flavor is not too heavy, mainly to remove the smell, suitable for you." Qian Quanlin brought a plate of meat he brought and put it in front of Jun Yishen, he was still somewhat sure of Jun Yishen's taste, after all, he had participated in so many banquets together, basically either sitting opposite or sitting side by side, it was a little difficult to understand.

"This is good~" Jun Yishen tasted a piece, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"If you like it, I asked your chef to come to my place to exchange experiences, I looked at this table of dishes, almost half of them have not been seen, tsk, I can't think of it." Qian Quanlin shook his head and said while eating.

"These, these guys are basically made up, and they taste good, but our chefs don't necessarily have them. Jun Yishen shrugged, who knows where they got so many ideas?

"Taste this, this, and this. Hua Xiangrong sandwiched three pieces of chic pastries and put them on Shangguan Yi's plate.

"Forehead......" Shangguan Yi hesitated, he had already guessed that the next eighty percent would follow a proposition, and he had to answer after eating, this, whether to eat or not to eat?

"Is it so bad? I won't even say it. Hua Xiangrong put down her chopsticks and smiled with a nuclear smile.

"No, no, no, it's so beautiful, it's full of color and flavor, and I don't want to eat it, and I'm thanking the Creator for the gift. Shangguan Yi explained again and again, and saved his life.

"It's made for people to eat, don't rub it and try it. Hua Xiangrong urged with satisfaction.

Shangguan Yi ate three pieces of pastries with a smile on his face, to be honest, it was not unpalatable, the taste was quite good, they were fruity, floral and cereal, and they were quite good, as long as they didn't let me answer which one was more delicious.

"Which piece is more delicious?" Hua Xiangrong asked with a grin.

"Well, I personally like to eat, red bean flavored, of course, the other two are also very good, but with the blessing of red beans, the red bean-flavored one is slightly better, um. Shangguan Yi carefully thought about the wording, suggesting that those who lose should not be angry, you did not lose in taste, but in my personal preference, don't be angry, sisters.

"Well, I think too. Hua Xiang nodded calmly, and there seemed to be no displeasure. Qianxian was serving food to Yue Zhengdao, and she didn't seem to notice this, as for the phantom dance, she felt Shangguan Yi's gaze before she looked back, with doubts, and didn't quite understand why Shangguan Yi looked at him.

"Looks like I'm thinking too much. Shangguan Yi was embarrassed and entangled in the bottom of his heart, and finally decided to bury this matter in his heart and tell no one.

In fact, the three pastries that Hua Xiangrong gave to Shangguan Yi were all made by herself, and she was not the kind of little girl who fell in love with Shangguan Yi and only knew that she was jealous, she just wanted to listen to Shangguan Yi's opinion and see if she could improve.

This wave, it's Shangguan Yi himself who has paranoia about being killed, and he has too much brain supplement.
