Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 121 New Year's Eve (1)
After some dressing up, Luomei Residence also has a new year's atmosphere.

In the next few days, I will walk through the various mansions in the entire capital at a leisurely pace.

This day came to New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, at five o'clock, the mansions in the capital fired their first shots of the New Year one after another.

Southern Qin capital attaches great importance to saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new. Even if the fourth prince Qin Yu was demoted to Mobei this year, the Wuming Mountain was destroyed, and the dragon face in the palace was unhappy, the capital was shrouded in clouds for many days. Eventful winter.But because of this, this year's festival is not only not quiet, but also more lively, which somewhat means driving away bad luck.

Therefore, from the imperial palace to the noble mansions, to the big families in Beijing, and even the homes of the common people, there is a New Year atmosphere.

Xie Fanghua was awakened by the continuous sound of firecrackers, pushed away the quilt, sat up, opened the curtain and looked out the window.Hearing the words, he had already got up, took the firecracker and ran to the entrance of Luomeiju, it seemed that he couldn't wait to light it, for fear of falling behind.

She heard that Qin Zheng in the back room had gotten up and was getting dressed carefully, so she also put on the clothes and got up.

Not long after, a cannon rang out at the entrance of Luomei Residence.

After Xie Fanghua dressed properly, she walked to the window, opened the window, and a gust of fresh air rushed in.

At this time, Qin Zheng walked out from the back room, came directly behind her, and closed the window she had just opened with his hand.

Xie Fanghua looked back at him.

"You've just recovered a bit, but you still want to catch typhoid fever after being exposed to such a cool breeze?" Qin Zheng glanced at her.

Xie Fanghua took a step back and said to him, "I'm leaving the house now!"

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, and said lazily, "What's the hurry! My master means what he says, and he won't regret it if he gives you leave."

Xie Fanghua stopped talking and took a basin to fetch water to wash her face.

Qin Zheng glanced at the cold water she called, and asked, "Is the sunflower water gone?"

Xie Fanghua blushed, didn't look at him, took a handful of water and wiped it on her face, "It's gone!"

Qin Zheng stopped talking and went to wash and tidy himself up.

Ting Yan heard the movement in the main room, ran to the door, pushed the door open, took a look inside, and smiled, "Master, Ting Yin, are you up?"

Xie Fanghua was silent.

Qin Zheng glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Listening to the words, seeing that the two of them didn't look like they were celebrating the New Year at all, he pouted and asked, "My lord, will Tingyin come into the palace with us today?"

"She won't go!" Qin Zheng said.

Hearing the words, he was startled, "Although the palace banquets in the past years were boring, the singing and dancing at the Phoenix Terrace was very interesting. The princes and ladies from all the prefectures gathered together, and there might be discussions on poetry and art at that time. I am afraid it will be very lively. Listen to the music , what a pity you don't go."

Xie Fanghua shook her head.

"My lord, I have heard that the ladies in the palace seem to want to take advantage of this palace banquet to see Tingyin. The emperor seems to have this idea too, but he didn't express it clearly. If you don't let Tingyin go..." Listen He paused, looked at Qin Zheng's face, and tentatively asked, "Are you afraid that the sound will be too eye-catching, who will value it, and you are reluctant to take her out?"

Qin Zheng snorted coldly, looked at Tingyan, "Are you free?"

Hearing the words, she shrank her neck in a timely manner, backed out of the door, and said quickly, "I'm not busy, I'm going to the big kitchen." After saying that, he turned and ran out of Luomeiju.

Xie Fanghua thought that the emperor should want to meet her. After all, Qin Zheng assigned her identity to his hidden guard camp. Although her identity was concealed, if the emperor was so easy to fool, he would not be the emperor.He didn't make it clear that it should be due to her humble status as a maid, so he wouldn't condescend and value her as a maid on the bright side.

The two tidied up and came back with food after listening to the words.

The three of them had breakfast, Qin Zheng got up and went to Yingqin Wangfei's place, he wanted to enter the palace with Yingqin Wangfei.

The family members of the Xungui mansion and the family members of the clan and royal family all have to enter the palace in advance.

Qin Zheng walked to the door, looked back at Xie Fanghua, and said to her, "Don't forget what you promised me."

Xie Fanghua nodded without looking at him.

Qin Zheng went out.

Taking a step behind listening to the words, he whispered to Xie Fanghua, "Tingyin, what did you promise the young master?"

Xie Fanghua made a gesture to indicate that the cat was killed.

Hearing the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, he glared at Xie Fanghua, and quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Qin Zheng.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, soon left Luomei Residence.

Xie Fanghua drank tea alone in the room for a while, then slowly got up, walked to the middle room, found a solemn dress from the closet, changed into it, took off the red hairpin, dressed herself like a maid, stepped out the door.

When she came to the entrance of Luomei Residence, she looked around and walked towards the big kitchen.

Although she had never been to the big kitchen, she had already figured out the terrain of Prince Ying's Mansion and the locations of the courtyards.Walking on the road, I met young servants and maidservants in twos and threes cleaning the courtyard, or shuttled back and forth with plates and cups, and no one paid attention to her when they saw her passing by.

Prince Ying's mansion is too big, so it's normal that many servants and maidservants don't know each other well.

Not long after, Xie Fanghua came to the big kitchen.

The big kitchen is in full swing. Although today's lunch is a palace banquet in the palace, the dinner is still going back to the mansion for a family reunion dinner. Therefore, the big kitchen is still busy preparing for this day.

"Which one is Aunt Gui?" Xie Fanghua stood at the door and asked softly.

"Huh? Which yard are you working in? Look at the face?" A maid poked her head out and asked in surprise.

Xie Fanghua smiled, "I'm an errand in the back garden, and I do some errands to trim flowers and plants."

"Oh, people from the back garden don't come here often, so I have to know you." The maid nodded and asked, "What do you want to do with Aunt Gui?"

"Please trouble my sister to pass a message to Aunt Gui, just say that what was agreed yesterday, she will go out to buy things today, and take me out of the house to visit my relatives." Xie Fanghua took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the maid.

The servant girl didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but she didn't expect Xie Fanghua to act so generously, she immediately smiled, "Wait, I'll call you Aunt Gui right away." After saying that, she turned her head and went into the big kitchen.

Xie Fanghua waited at the door, smiled, money can turn ghosts, it makes sense whenever you say this.

Not long after, a slightly fat middle-aged woman came out of the big kitchen.

The maid came out afterward, pointed at Xie Fanghua, and said to Aunt Gui, "She is the one looking for you."

Aunt Gui looked at Xie Fanghua with puzzled eyes.

Xie Fanghua smiled at her, leaned over and made a seven sign.

Aunt Gui suddenly laughed, and slapped her forehead, "Look at my memory, it's you. I'm leaving the house right now, come with me!"
