Jinyi Night Walk

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, with the sound of firecrackers on the street, Xia Xun stepped on the red firecracker crumbs in the white snow, sniffing the smell of firecrackers, and returned to the small house he rented.

The courtyard door was not locked, and Xia Xun reached out to touch the courtyard door, and found that someone had come, and the mark he had made in advance was gone.Xia Xun immediately pressed the knife tightly, turned slightly, stretched out his hand and pushed the courtyard door, paused for a moment, and then flashed in.

"Ouch, Master Yang, you are back."

A servant in a green coat and a hat nodded to him and smiled with him. Under the eaves, the little girl who was holding a pair of small fists to her mouth was breathing, and the little girl who was stomping her feet on the snow also turned around. Pants, pleated skirt, light blue Bijia, hair combed in three buns, black hair is divided into two bundles hanging on the shoulders, a slender waist, with a plain face facing the sky.

Clean, simple and elegant, fresh and tender, like Mingqian tea, the buds and leaves are delicate, green and fragrant, mellow and beautiful in taste, and it is still the best of all.Xia Xun seemed to see a piece of bud stretching and stretching in the cup, ups and downs, gradually turning bright green, with a pleasant aroma...

A young woman is like tea, this beautiful young woman is like a good cup of tea.

"You are stupid, don't you recognize me, bro!"

The little girl stomped her feet and smiled at him, intentionally emphasizing the tone of the last word.

"Oh, ah! Sister...uh, this is..." Xia Xun let go of the handle of the knife and looked at the servant in surprise.

The servant laughed and said, "Your sister insisted on coming back to celebrate the New Year with you, but the master couldn't hold her back, so he asked Xiao to bring her over to the adults. Our master said, Sir, you are alone, so you might as well come to our house to celebrate the New Year together, but Lingmei disagreed, and said that during the New Year, she would be her own family's vigil, which is true. Here, here are a few things, new clothes and hats, all custom-made according to the figure of an adult, and there are a few boxes of food, which are our masters. For adults."

"Ah, Yuanwai is too polite. Please thank Yuanwai for me. I will thank him in person tomorrow when I go to pay New Year's greetings to Yuanwai."

The servant said with a smile: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's a cold day, brothers and sisters, adults, go back to the house to rest, so don't be polite to the little one, the little one will go back soon."

After sending the family Ding out, Xia Xun rushed to Ming'er, put down the food she was carrying, and touched her little hand, which was cold. What are you doing here, look at you frozen."

Ming'er blushed, and unnaturally withdrew her hand from him. She considered herself a big girl, especially after being taught by female officials for many days in the palace, unknowingly began to have the relationship between a man and a woman. The awareness of defense, but in Xia Xun's eyes, she was still the little girl who was dressed in snow-white fox fur and dressed like a baby bunny. After recognizing her as Ming'er, he mistook her for a little girl.

Ming'er gave Xia Xun a pretty roll of her eyes, and said angrily: "You still say, just leave me in someone else's house and leave me alone, you won't come to see me, and it's not easy for me to go to you. I don't know how, it's inconvenient to find you, I'm a busy person, if I don't take this opportunity to come out, when will I come out."

Xia Xun said with a dry smile: "This..., I was really busy at first, and besides, I was doing it for your own good, anyway, you don't have to worry about food and lodging there. If I often go to Xie's house and attract the attention of interested people, it will be exposed Princess identity?"

"It's done, it's done, you're always right, as long as I know you, I'll know, this girl can't say no to you, open the door, I'm going to freeze to death."

Shaking her head, Xia Xun hurried over to unlock the door, pushed the door to let her in, then turned around and took some of the food she bought and some New Year's goods from Xie's family into the house.Ming'er looked around curiously in the room, "Hey, can you turn on the lamp, it's too dark." "Why is it so cold in your room, isn't there a brazier?" What about the stove, you big man, can you cook?"

The curious baby was startled, and felt strange when she saw anything. While she was asking around, Xia Xun had already skillfully lifted the furnace cover with an iron hook, poked open the simmering coals, and let the flames jump up. , ticked the bottom again, picked up some cinders with embers and stuffed them under the stove, pulled a few handfuls of crop straw to fill them in, and the flames quickly burned under the stove, Xia Xun scooped up a few more ladles of water Pour it into the pot, cover the pot lid, and all the movements are like flowing water, done in one go.

"Wow, you're amazing! You're really amazing! You can light a stove, light a fire and cook, you're really... so amazing, I can't!"

The red flames reflected Ming'er's red face, and her shrewd eyes were wide open, full of admiration and amazement.

Xia Xun was speechless. Since he knew her, he had shed blood, been injured, fought his life, done so many great things, made her angry, and seen her moved, but he had never seen her so admiring. The appearance of an idol is to light a stove and boil a pot of water. I can't understand it. I really can't understand it. There is a generation gap... "...Basically, that's it."

"Sister and brother-in-law are so pitiful, you really don't know how to help the emperor find trouble with them?"

"real."

"You are a good person, I saw you right!"

Ming'er was very grateful. She commented on Xia Xun gratefully, and then asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

This sentence was a bit jumpy, and Xia Xun was stunned for a moment before he realized it: "Oh, there is something to eat, but they are all pickles and stewed vegetables. You can take a bite first. The Yan Palace gave me a flying dragon, which has been packed. I stewed it and let you drink hot soup."

Seeing that Xia Xun opened the paper bag, brought out a big packed bird, lifted the lid of the pot and threw it into the steaming pot, Ming'er said in amazement, "That's all right? It turns out that cooking is also very easy."

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Of course it won't work if you make other things. The only exception is the flying dragon. This kind of bird has an extremely delicious meaty taste. When stewing the soup, you don't need to put anything in. Once you have a taste of it, the soup will taste natural. It is extremely delicious, if you really put some oil, salt, onion and garlic, it will spoil its taste instead."

"oh oh!"

Ming'er swallowed greedily, watched Xia Xun cover the pot with reluctance, sat down on the pony horse beside the stove, put her hands on her knees, stared at the red stove, for a long time, suddenly sigh.

Xia Xun put a few dishes into the dishes and put them on the table. Hearing her sigh, she glanced at her and asked, "You are so young, why are you sighing?"

Ming'er rested her chin on her knees, put her hands on her chin, and curled up like a xialian'er. Relatives and friends kept coming and going. When watching the new year, the firecrackers were kept on all night, and the lights were brightly lit all night. In the back house, they fought chicken, played chess, pitched pots, and played Cuju. , playing liquor license, playing horse hanging, playing Shuanglu, kicking shuttlecock...

From the first day to the third day of the new year, I can't sweep the courtyard. When I play in the yard, I always step on thick firecracker debris, just like stepping on a soft red carpet. Many relatives and three brother-in-laws will Send someone back, I am a senior, my family has to prepare a lot of red envelopes for me, three big boxes, and then people keep coming to pay me New Year's greetings, I just send out red envelopes..."

Xia Xun sat down, looked at her silently, and listened silently.

Ming'er continued: "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcome the Kitchen God to come down to earth, and there is another offering; on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, it is 'Tiangong Sheng', we have to burn incense and pray for 'Tiangong'. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be three days of commotion. Lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, eating soup yuan, procrastinating, until the "Dragon Raises its Head" festival on February [-] is officially over, so lively...well……"

She raised her head slightly, and asked Xia Xun quietly: "You said, will there be such happy days again?"

Xia Xun was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Every year, why not?"

Ming'er said: "I'm talking about... my family. The second sister's family was detained in Shu, the eldest sister's family's future is uncertain, and the third sister's family does not know if they will follow in their footsteps in the future. If the emperor cleans up Will my three elder sisters be wary of our Xu family? The elder brother is devoted to the imperial court, the second elder brother keeps himself safe, and the third elder brother fights for the injustices of the sisters and brothers-in-law. I don’t know who is right and who is wrong, and who is right. I can't help them, and the only way to come forward is Tian Luan, so I can only hide here. This year's Chinese New Year at home will be very different from last year, what about next year?"

Xia Xun coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Eat something first, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and things in the future may not be as pessimistic as you think."

Ming'er sighed, and whispered: "This year the color of the flowers will change, and next year, who will be there when the flowers bloom again? I have seen the pines and cypresses destroyed as salary, and I heard that the mulberry fields have turned into the sea. The ancients did not return to the east of Luocheng, but today people still treat it." The wind of falling flowers. Flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year..."

The New Year is of vital significance to Chinese people.The poor who are hiding from debts will do everything possible to go home during the New Year, and the murderers who are at large will risk being arrested to go home during the New Year. Watch the New Year and celebrate the New Year with your family,

For the royal family, and for Emperor Jianwen, it is especially important.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Jianwen was facing the court, and in order to pay homage to the late emperor, there was no joy.Immediately, he sacrificed heaven and earth in the southern suburbs, and led the relatives of the emperor, civil and military officials to the Taimiao to worship.

Afterwards, return to the court hall, and promulgate the first imperial decree in the first year of Jianwen in His Highness Jinluan: Zunhuang Kao, the former emperor Zhu Biao is the Emperor Xiaokang, the temple name is Xingzong, and the concubine Chang is the Empress Xiaokang.The respected mother concubine Lu was the empress dowager, and the empress grandson concubine Ma was canonized as the empress.He made his brother Yunxi the king of Wu, Yunxi the king of Heng, and Yunxi the king of Xu.The eldest son of the emperor, Wen Kui, was established as the crown prince.Declare to the world, to give the people high-quality rice, meat and silk, to shepherd the widowed, widowed, lonely, and sick, to cheer up the poor who suffer from disasters, and to amnesty the world.

In the Golden Palace, Zhu Yunwen was full of ambition and full of confidence.His grandfather conquered the great country and sat the emperor for 31 years. He is still young. He believes that the Jianwen Dynasty will be longer than his grandfather. Countable saints.

The bell is ringing, from this day on, the era of Emperor Hongwu has completely passed away, and the era of Zhu Yunqi has come!
