The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1119 Another Year

Although Shi Hu is brave, he is not talented as a general. If he really went to the battlefield, he would be the one who charged forward.

It is useless to say that you are brave in war. Cheng Yaojin is not only brave, but also has a good brain. He knows how to fight and has a heart.

Cheng Yaojin looks carefree, but in fact he is meticulous. He seems to quarrel in the court whenever he has something to do, which makes His Majesty Li Er a headache. Your Majesty and the muddy steps, such a courtier, can the emperor not like it?

But Shi Hu didn't have that ability, so Xuan Shijing advised Shi Hu, at this age, don't think too deeply.

Everyone has selfishness, and Xuan Shijing is also selfish. He doesn't want to think that if there is a real war in the future, and something happens to Shihu on the battlefield, what will happen to the little Ji Niang and his wife?It is not easy for Xiaoji and Shihu to achieve a positive result.

"This is an annual gift for you two." Xuan Shijing said, and as he spoke, he took out a sign from the tray in the maid's hand and gave it to Shi Hu: "This is the sign of the Marquis. I gave you this for In the future, it will be convenient for you in the army, and whenever you encounter something, the people in the army will always treat me a little bit less."

The Xuan family is close to the Cheng family and the Qin family and other families of military generals. In addition, in the battle of Liaodong, Xuan Shijing also had some reputation in the army, and I can be regarded as a member of the army. However, under such a situation in the imperial court, the military hugged each other fairly tightly, and Xuan Shijing's contacts were all in the army.

At least one brand can help Shi Hu, but Shi Hu wants to go further, Xuan Shijing can't help him, no, it's not that he can't help, but he is hurting him.

How much ability is there, how many burdens can be resisted.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Shihu Xiaoji saluted Xuan Shijing.

"Chang Le, you two brothers, look around, all the brothers around you are all established in the Cheng family, so hurry up. Although Chang Ying has bad legs and feet, he can make money anyway. Chang Le, you are an older brother. , worry more, even with your own, it’s not enough to always be so simple, your Chang family was also a wealthy family before, no matter what, you have to continue the bloodline, don’t always procrastinate.” Xuan Shijing said .

"Yes, Master Hou." The two brothers responded.

It is much easier to prepare the annual gift for the two brothers. Chang Ying has been living in Xuanwu Tower, and Xuan Shijing gave him a house in Chang'an City. As for Chang Le, he has a house in Zhuangzi, and Xuan Shijing gave it directly A lot of money.

The two brothers give more money, so that they can also save more money for their wives.

"Jing'er, so many people have given New Year's gifts, Bingyue's side, let Wei Niang do it for her." Wang said with a smile.

The current Qin Bingyue's identity is relatively subtle, and she can no longer be said to be Xuan Shijing's personal maid. After all, she will be married next spring, so it is reasonable for this year's gift to be given by Wang.

"Yes, mother is right." Xuan Shijing replied with a smile.

"Bring it here." Wang said to the maid behind her.

The servant girl brought the tray covered with red cloth from the low table behind Wang's back against the wall. Wang lifted the red cloth covering the tray, and a set of emerald-carved jewelry appeared in front of everyone.

"Miss Bingyue is going to go to the house in spring, so I specially sent someone to pick out high-quality jade from the warehouse in the mansion, and made such a set of jewelry. Don't be disgusted by girl Bingyue." Wang looked at Qin with a smile. Bingyue said.

Qin Bingyue passed through the family and married Xuan Shijing, and Wang was also very happy. After all, she will still have to serve her son when she passes through the family in the future, and the Xuan family is flourishing. In Xuan Shijing's generation, those who celebrate the New Year, say something It doesn't sound good, but when Wang sees Xuan Mingde underground in the future, he will have an explanation.

"No." Qin Bingyue smiled slightly: "It is my blessing to be able to enter the gate of the Marquis Mansion."

Qin Bingyue's temperament is also reserved, and she is not used to having this kind of conversation with Wang on this occasion, or more shy.

"Okay, this gift is over, light the explosives outside." Xuan Shijing ordered.

Although the gunpowder was produced, but now the gunpowder is in the hands of the imperial court, Xuan Shijing didn't go to much trouble, just make some firecrackers, and the explosion will be very good, very characteristic of Tang Dynasty.

The explosion rod outside was lit, and it was crackling in the yard, and the banquet began in the house, and the master and servant had a good time.

They stayed up until dawn, and then they dispersed.

Xuan Shijing fell asleep for a while during the night watch. After all, there was a grand court meeting in the morning. This was the largest court meeting in a year where the emperor met with all officials, not only the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, but also the envoys from all directions. , will gather in the Tai Chi Hall to accept the meeting of His Majesty Li Er.

Xuan Shijing put on the court clothes under the service of Jin Yang, while Chang Le had already put on the carriage and waited outside. Zhuangzi was far away from Chang'an. When Xuan Shijing walked from home to Chang'an, it was still dark Woolen cloth.

It was also because of the Chinese New Year that the gates of Chang'an City opened very early in the morning, so Xuan Shijing was able to enter Chang'an City.

After getting off the carriage at the gate of Miyagi, Chang Le could only wait for Xuan Shijing in the carriage. Fortunately, he had brought a lot of food. This grand court meeting would take a lot of time in the morning, and there would be a banquet at noon. , this banquet, Xuan Shijing has always been able to leave.

In the afternoon, Xuan Shijing and Chang Le took the carriage back to Zhuangzi, and it took a whole day to go back and forth.

When Xuan Shijing returned to the mansion on the Zhuangzi again, he was already very sleepy. After returning to the mansion, he went back to his room and fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already the second day of the new year.

Three days after the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, all the military officials in the court and Chinese are resting and bathing. Whether they have nothing to do, they can walk around or take a rest at their own residences. .

As for Xuan Shijing's brothers, they gathered together at Zhuangzi, and in the mansion of the Hou Mansion, people of his generation had dinner together.

After the market was opened in Zhuangzi, it was convenient to eat, drink and have fun. After eating and drinking in the Hou's mansion, the few of them walked shoulder to shoulder and went to the brothel Chu Pavilion in Zhuangzi's market.

Xuan Shijing's house doesn't have any singers and dancers, let alone any bells and whistles, so if you want to have fun, you still have to go to these romantic places.

Both Jin Yang and Qin Bingyue felt at ease with Xuan Shijing. After getting along for such a long time, they all knew that Xuan Shijing was a measured person and would not mess around.

Speaking of which, the biggest romantic venue in this village is the newly opened Yanlailou moved from Chang'an.
