The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 823 810 Two: After the Chinese New Year, the Promise Iron Bull enters Beijing.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye!Duan Wuji is sitting in the room practicing internal skills today!Duan Shengsong suddenly broke in and called him.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, don't just sit there and pretend to be a Buddha. My grandpa told me to call you here, so hurry up, otherwise, my grandpa will be angry!"

Duan Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then stood up.

"You brat, why did you threaten your second uncle!

Your grandpa is angry?Why is your grandpa so angry?

Let's go and have a look! "

Duan Wuji followed Duan Shengsong out of the room, and walked straight towards the main room.

I saw that the yard had been cleaned and fresh couplets had been pasted on the door of the house.

Duan Wuji was taken aback when he saw it, and then remembered, today is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month is already considered a small year, and every household is full of festive atmosphere, and the spirit of the new year has already rushed to his face Here comes.

Duan Wuji smiled and said to himself: How could I forget about this, isn't this the official Chinese New Year starting tomorrow!After a while, when it got dark, I started to observe the new year officially. Alas, I blamed myself for being too busy practicing kung fu and neglecting these things.

Walking into the main room, I saw a large family chatting around the table!There are tea and snacks on the table.

When Duan Yanqing saw Duan Wuji coming in, he gave him a hard look.

"Wuji! You are going home for the new year, and you are thirty today, why are you still practicing!

Won't you take the time to chat with Dafu's family for a while!What are you talking about like that! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I'm really sorry, these days I've been busy practicing internal skills, and I've already neglected the Chinese New Year, I'm really sorry!"

When Liu Caihua heard what her youngest son said, she quickly said: "Actually, there is nothing at home, and I don't need you to do anything. I just wanted to call you out, so that we can celebrate the new year happily together.

Brat, sit down for me now! "

Hearing what the old lady said, Duan Wuji stuck out his tongue, and immediately sat down politely.

The family sat at the table, drinking tea and watching the year.

Duan Yanqing looked at the family and said: "Our income is quite a lot this year!

Jie has earned so much money this year, the family is getting richer and richer!

Our family can be said to be the richest man in our Shanxi area. The officials in Shanxi are very polite when they see our family.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and our family will have a good New Year!
Ah Hua!Set up the bar, let's have a good New Year's Eve dinner as a family! "

The time is not long, the New Year's Eve dinner is served, the family eats the New Year's Eve dinner together, and then sits on the kang while chatting and watching the year!
In the middle of the night, with the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside, the new year will begin immediately!

Duan Changsheng and the others rushed out of the house and started setting off firecrackers.With the sound of firecrackers, the whole yard was full of fiery trees and silver flowers!

The children shouted for joy in the yard, and the whole yard was full of laughter.

The Wuji family in this section is a wealthy family in Taiyuan Mansion, and it is not ordinary to buy a lot of firecrackers!

It wasn't until the last night that these firecrackers and fireworks were set off!

The next day, after eating the first dumpling meal of the new year, Duan Yanqing led his family to Duanjiaji to pay New Year's greetings.

When I entered the third grandpa's house, I saw that there were quite a lot of people in the whole courtyard. Everyone came in and out to pay New Year's greetings.

The third grandpa's family is also a wealthy family now, and now there are three more high-ranking officials in the family. The family members are also of high seniority and popularity, and the houses in the neighborhood are usually more or less supported by this family. .

This time of Chinese New Year, can you come here without bringing your family and mouth to pay New Year's greetings!

Duan Yanqing's family went straight to the main house, the house where the third grandfather lived.

When I entered the room, I saw that the room was full of people!

When people saw Duan Yanqing's family coming in, they all gave way.

Duan Yanqing led the family to pay New Year's greetings to the third grandfather, and then to Duan Wuji's second grandfather, and then sat down.

Duan Yanqing said to Duan Changsheng and Duan Wuji: "You two brothers lead the whole family to various uncles' houses!

You don't have anything to do here. "

The two brothers agreed, and led the bride and the child out.

Duan Yanqing and his wife chatted with the third grandfather and the second uncle, knowing that the two brothers came back from New Year's greetings with their married wife and children, so Duan Yanqing stopped talking.

The third grandpa looked at the family and said with a smile: "Look how good your family is now!

Now our family has also developed, and now there are three high-ranking officials in my family. Now there is no shortage of food and a lot of flowers. My life is enough.

Promise!Do it well!Our good days are yet to come! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Grandpa Sanzu, don't worry! I will definitely not let you down. I will work hard for the development of our family.

Grandpa third, you old man just rest!
Our two brothers went to my brother Tieniu's house to visit, and then went to their house to pay New Year's greetings, and we were fine. "

"Well! Then you go! Come here when you have time!"

Duan Wuji and the others left the third grandfather's house and went straight to Tie Niu's house.

Duan Yanqing and his wife stayed here for a while, then got up and went home.

Back home, I saw that Duan Wuji and the others had already returned.

Not long ago, relatives from Duan's family came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and now most of the people in this family are counting on working with Duan Yanqing's family to survive!
So there are so many New Year greetings!

Duan Yanqing's family was busy, sending out the group of people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and they didn't get rid of them until the sun was rising!
It wasn't too long, Tie Niu and his wife came over with their children, and the family sat down after paying New Year's greetings to Duan Yanqing and his wife.

Everyone chatted together and described the situation of this year. It was almost noon when Tieyou and his wife took the child home.

After the first day of junior high school, this new year is also over.

Once Duan Wuji stayed at home, he lived a comfortable and happy life again.

Duan Wuji practices martial arts every day, so he is not idle at all!

The days passed quickly, eight or nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and Duan Wuji was immersed in practicing exercises every day, so he didn't ask about everything!

This morning, Duan Wuji was practicing at home!

Willow cauliflower broke in.

"Damn it! It's not good! We have a herald officer again, and he is waiting for you in the house!

Go over and have a look! "

Duan Wuji was taken aback for a while, and then followed his old lady straight to the main room.

I saw a military general sitting in the room, it seems that he is a partial general!

Duan Wuji took two quick steps, and cupped his hands at the general.

"Master Imperial Envoy, I don't know what's going on now that I'm here after the New Year's Eve?"

When the general saw Duan Wuji coming in, he quickly stood up.

"Prince Duan, Happy New Year!

The next official came here with the imperial decree of the emperor, calling you to go to Beijing immediately.

Prince Duan, pack up and let's go! "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji hurriedly asked: "My lord, has something serious happened to the imperial court?"

The general grinned and said: "Of course something serious happened, otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have issued an order for you at this time.

This year hasn't ended yet, so I recruited you back. "

"I said, Mr. Imperial Envoy, what happened to the court? Can you tell me about it!"

A general said hello, "Oh, don't mention it. On the night of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, a thief was stolen from our palace. The thief was very arrogant. He not only stole things, but also left a poem for the emperor.

The emperor was very angry when he saw it, and planned to go back and summon you to solve the case. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Then what was lost in the palace? It made the emperor so angry!"

"According to the emperor, an eight-treasure lotus lantern was lost in the palace.

This lamp is a tribute from a foreign country, the emperor likes it very much!

Isn't it almost the Lantern Festival!The emperor intends to transfer this lamp to the Eight Treasures Golden Hall for his viewing!

Now that the Lantern Festival is coming, but the lamp is gone now, do you think the emperor can't be angry?

In addition, another treasure was lost in the palace. This treasure is called the Eight Immortals White Jade Man, and it is a very valuable jade article.

It was also the emperor's favorite thing, and it was stolen this time.

Your majesty was almost pissed off, so he ordered me to come and call you to Beijing!

Prince Duan, the situation is urgent, so hurry up and follow me! "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji quickly said: "Alright then! If that's the case, then I'll pack up and go on the road immediately."

With that said, Duan Wuji came out.

When Duan Yanqing saw that Duan Wuji was about to leave, he immediately ordered the servants at home to prepare horses for Duan Wuji and pack up his luggage!

Before long, Duan Wuji's flattery was brought into the yard.

The weapons were also hung on the bird's wing rings of the horses for him.

Duan Wuji glanced at the whole family and said: "You guys also rest! Since the emperor ordered me to come, then I have no choice but to leave immediately.

This is called a sacred order, and no one can do anything about it! "

Duan Yanqing said to the messenger: "My lord, since this is the case, then let's not be dumbfounded.

Let's get on the road right away, if we go back late, the emperor will be upset. "

The general heard this and immediately stood up.

The two walked into the yard, took the horses and walked straight outside.

When they got outside the gate, the two got on their horses, and Duan Yanqing's family was escorted out.

Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said: "My son! It is said that this official is not free, this is not false at all.

After you enter the capital, you should learn more about the situation. No matter what happens, you can pay attention to my safety! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Daddy, don't worry! There's nothing wrong."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and the decree officer rode their horses, ran straight to the official road and ran down, until the shadow disappeared, the family turned and went back.

Duan Wuji and the others ran to the intersection of Duanjiaji fork, only to see that iron ox was waiting for them by the side of the road.

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Tieniu, why are you going to Beijing?"

Tie Niu grinned.

"Then the emperor summoned me, what can I do if I don't go?

Since the emperor has lost something, let's go and have a look!

This emperor has so many eyes!Whenever such a bad thing happens, I think of my brothers.

It made our two brothers have trouble living for a whole year. "

Saying that, the three of them galloped all the way, headed straight for the direction of the capital and ran down.

After running for a long time, the messenger's flattery couldn't keep up.

Duan Wuji looked at it and said with a smile: "I said, general, you can walk slowly behind! Our two brothers will not wait for you."

The messenger listened and nodded.

"My lords, what are you waiting for me?

Your horses run fast, but my stinky horse really can't keep up!

Your horses can run as fast as they can, my horse can't keep up! "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu fought like flying horses, and he disappeared in a short while.

Along the way, the two brothers were hungry for food and drink, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and ran straight to the capital.

Five days later, the two brothers were already running on Chang'an Avenue.

These two people didn't dare to go home, so they rode straight to the imperial city!

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the two men dismounted from their horses, led the horses straight into the imperial city, and walked in.

When the guards guarding the imperial city saw these two people, they immediately came over.

"I said Prince Duan, General Duan, you are back so soon! You wait here for a while, let us go in and let you know!"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu nodded.

"Well, that's all right! You have to go and come back quickly, we are anxiously waiting to see the emperor."

The guard heard this, and ran straight to the palace.

Not long after, the guard ran back again.

"My lords, the emperor has ordered you to enter the palace now.

Two adults, you come with me! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu handed over the horses to the guard next to them, and followed the guard to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At the entrance of the main hall, the guard stopped.

"My lords, the emperor is inside! I won't go in, you two go in by yourself."

After speaking, the guard turned around and went back.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu walked into the hall, only to see Li Shimin sitting at the table drinking tea.

The two of them walked a few steps, and knelt down in front of the Long Shu's case to salute.

"Your Majesty, how is your new year?

I am waiting to salute His Majesty. "

When Li Shimin saw the two brothers coming in, he smiled and waved his hands quickly.

"You two virtuous brothers, don't be too polite, get up quickly!"

Li Shimin looked at the maid next to him.

"Why don't you quickly move seats for them, why don't you let them stand and talk?"

The maid heard this, and quickly moved two seats to the side.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu sat down, and Duan Wuji hurriedly asked: "Second brother! What's going on here?
Who is so brave?Dare to go to our palace to steal? "

Li Shimin grinned wryly after hearing this.

"Oh, don't mention this matter, it's really embarrassing to mention it.

Two virtuous brothers, just listen to me! "
