As the weather gets colder and colder, the end of the year is getting closer.

At the beginning of the lunar month, there was a snowfall, and many yamen in the imperial court had been closed, but the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division stepped up their patrols - the New Year is closed and the New Year is closed, and for the disciples of the rich family, the New Year is a good thing.

But for ordinary people, the New Year is really a big mark.

A poor home, a heavy snowfall, either freeze to death or starve to death.

In previous years, every winter, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division could find some people who had been dead for a long time on the side of the road or in some houses.

This is still at the foot of an imperial city like Suncheonfu, and it is hard to imagine what kind of scene it is in other places.

Gu Fengqing is ruthless to the people of the rivers and lakes, but he is very tolerant of ordinary people, although he can't bear it, but after all, he is only the power of one person, even if his martial arts are strong, he can't help everyone.

The only thing that can be done is to set up a large pot in front of the house, and let the maids in the house give porridge to the poor people every morning and afternoon.

But strangely, a few days after the soup was given, the maid reported that no people had come to collect the food.

This made Gu Fengqing a little stunned.

But he figured it out after a moment - it was still the flying fish suit on his body that made the people afraid.

Even if he starved to death, he didn't dare to come and get his porridge to eat.

Gu Fengqing also smiled bitterly.

Now that it is already a month, the court has also issued rewards, Gu Fengqing, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although he has no actual official position of the third grade, but the yamen distributes it according to the three grades.

Not only that, but even the emperor also remembered him and rewarded many treasures in the palace.

In addition to the filial piety and gifts from other yamen officials, a lot of miscellaneous items were collected, and a whole treasury was filled.

It is worth mentioning that every gift sent over, Xiao Yiyi had to put it in the warehouse in person and count it clearly - Gu Fengqing didn't know if she could count them, anyway, it looked quite precious.

It's like a little money fan.

Gu Fengqing didn't interfere either, letting her be happy.

"This is a red envelope for you, you have worked hard this year!"

In the courtyard, Gu Fengqing sealed a few red envelopes and gave them to the maids in the house.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!"

Hearing this, several maids hurriedly thanked them, but they hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to get the red envelope.

Looking at their expressions, Gu Fengqing knew what he was thinking.

If it was in the past, I didn't bother to explain, but these days I feel a lot more comfortable, and I can't help but say a few more words: "I know that you are all afraid of me, this official is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is famous in the eyes of outsiders, but you are the maid in my house, so you don't need to be afraid." ”

"You are the people in my house, and the ones who go out are also my Gu Fengqing's name, as long as you do things well and don't eat inside and out, my lord and I will not harm you for no reason, and even do well, if someone in the family is willing to come to Jinyiwei on an errand, the official can also fill in as appropriate!"

Hearing this, the maid present was stunned for a moment, and then said with an incredulous face: "Old, master, is this true?"

After speaking, one of the mothers-in-law seemed to feel that what she said was wrong, and quickly kowtowed: "We, we don't mean that...... Thank you, thank you, sir!"

The rest of the people also hurriedly kowtowed.

"Okay, just take the red envelope, do a good job in the house in the future, if you encounter any difficulties at home, you can also use my name, just remember not to use this to bully others!"

Distributing the red envelopes to several mothers-in-law, Gu Fengqing waved her hand to let them disperse.

A few maids kowtowed again to thank them, and then they went to work happily.

In the past, Gu Fengqing was often not at home, and these maids couldn't figure out Gu Fengqing's temper, and they were trembling in everything they did, for fear of being unhappy and being beaten into the Jinyi Guard, and life and death would be unpredictable at that time.

But now Gu Fengqing's words can be said to have made them feel at ease.

As long as you do things well, not only will the benefits be indispensable, but you will also have the opportunity to fill the Jinyi Guard in the future...... Although Jinyiwei is famous for ordinary people, he does not dare to touch it.

But if you can join in, that's a different story.

......

"Happy New Year!"

Shuntian Mansion Gu Zhai, Gu Fengqing raised his cup and shouted with a smile.

Although Xiao Yiyi didn't understand what this sentence meant, he thought that it should be a blessing, so he raised his cup and touched it with Gu Fengqing.

Gu Fengqing drank it all, and Xiao Yiyi tasted it lightly.

After drinking, they sat down to eat together.

For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Fengqing did not let her mother-in-law cook a lot of meals, but made a copper stove pot and ate it together in a hot pot.

At this time, there were already such copper stoves similar to hot pots, but they were not widely popularized.

Generally, ordinary people eat like this, and rich and noble families or official eunuchs still divide tables in order to show etiquette.

But Gu Fengqing doesn't have this scruples, firstly, she doesn't care, and secondly, she misses it a lot.

It's cold outside, but it's steaming inside.

Gu Fengqing and Xiao Yiyi fished out the beef and mutton together and ate it, although one of them didn't speak, but because of the rising heat, it still looked very lively.

Xu is seeing things and thinking about people, when shabu shabu, Gu Fengqing sighed and said: "Xiao Yiyi, I think that your lord and I used to love hot pot the most, often calling friends, a large table of people sitting together, very lively!"

"When I was a child, I remember eating hot pot with my parents during the Chinese New Year, but it's a pity that I never saw them again!"

While drinking wine, Gu Fengqing opened the conversation: "Xiao Yiyi, in my hometown, there are iron birds that can fly in the sky, and iron cars that can run on the ground, no carriages need to be pulled or pulled by people, the speed is fast!"

"From Shuntianfu to Yingtianfu, it's only a few hours!"

"There's also a small box that allows people to contact another person thousands of miles away, but it's a pity......"

"Can't go back......"

As he spoke, Xiao Yiyi ate.

While eating, he tilted his head to listen, and his eyes showed confusion.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside.

"My lord, the brothers are here!"

"Open the door, open the door, the brothers are coming for you!"

"Door the door, sir, we know you're at home!"

......

A mother-in-law hurriedly went to open the door, opened the door and took a look, only to find that Guo Xinyuan, Ying Hanguang, Chu Xiu, Lu Wenzhong, Jue Wushen, Fang Nan, Hu Huan and Ye Kai were all there.

"Why are you here?"

A few people walked over, Gu Fengqing followed the prestige, and suddenly couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Hehe, this is not the New Year, the brothers are all alone, we know that the adults are also celebrating the New Year alone, and there is a little maid at home, so isn't this thinking about celebrating the New Year together!"

Ying Hanguang smiled and said, "My lord, you can't drive us away!"

"What did you say, since you're here, it's just right, let's eat together!" Gu Fengqing smiled.

Although they were a little surprised, they were still very happy when they came.

beckoned them to sit down, and then asked the maid to add dishes and chopsticks, and then sat down together to eat around the copper stove pot shabu-shabu.

As soon as so many people came, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Raise a glass together, push the glass and change the lamp, after three rounds of wine, dizzy, everyone's conversation box will be opened.

They all talked about their experiences in the past year.

"Hey, don't you know, I think that when you were not under the command of the adult, the adult was oppressed by the hundred households Lin Ying and received a living ...... to death."

Guo Xinyuan drank some wine, and he didn't know if it was hot or drunk, his face was a little red, and he pulled his voice and said: "Who are our adults? How can you bear this anger?

"Well done!"

"Adults are just relieved!"

"I can't see it with my own eyes!"

"Lao Guo, you are blessed, the first one will follow the adult!"

......

Several people chimed in.

"Is that not?" Guo Xinyuan stiffened his neck and said: "Who is our old Guo?"

"Then Lin Ying's small hundreds, blocking the way of our adults, how can they not end up in ashes?"

The rest of the people also had a lot of face for Guo Xinyuan, Gu Fengqing's number one horse boy, and they all echoed it.

"Yes, yes!"

"Lao Guo, you have vision, I should admire it!"

"Listening to Lao Guo talk about this, I'm a little embarrassed, I think that when the adults came to Qianhusu, I actually had a murderous intent......" Hu Huan squinted his eyes and said with some embarrassment.

"That's all in the past, Lao Hu, it's boring for you to say this again!"

"Come, come, drink!"

"Yes, let's have a drink, Lao Hu, you drink two ...... Forget it, let's have three drinks!"

"Yes, yes, three cups!"

"Although it's long gone, how can you say that you have to be a sin?!"

......

The atmosphere was warm, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

Xiao Yiyi was still young, and she drank again, and she couldn't stand sleepy, so Gu Fengqing carried her to the bed and covered the quilt intimately.

Then he did not go back, but walked to the courtyard.

It was snowing heavily, and it was falling like goose feathers.

As far as the eye can see, the world is white.

On this night, every house in Shuntianfu lit up the lamp, and the whole city seemed to be nightless.

Outside, it was bitterly cold, but Gu Fengqing couldn't feel the slightest.

Inside the house, it was steaming, and Guo Xinyuan's laughter was heard.

At this moment, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Although it is not a full moon, it is bright and bright.

At this moment, there are thousands of lights that are free and bright.

This day is the day of reunion of thousands of miles of homeland.

Gu Fengqing listened to them drinking and talking with a smile, and in a trance, she seemed to hear a voice faintly, and a familiar and slightly unfamiliar voice came: "Friends, I want to kill you......"

He suddenly thought of the past.

At this time, maybe the people of that world are also reunited!

He thought of that world, the iron birds flying in the sky, the long dragons running on the ground, the street lamps beside the road, the Luzhou that never sleeps, and countless ordinary and not ordinary people......

The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.

"Happy New Year!"

Gu Fengqing raised her head and said softly.

The moonlight shone on his face, and it reflected tear stains.

He unknowingly, tears were wet.

......
