Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298 New Year's Eve
After the major event was over, Xu Qing slept in the study all afternoon, and was only woken up at dinner time.After dinner, Xu Qing saw that the table was full of tonics. When he probed and asked, Xue'er said shyly, "Xu Lang, did Shimei bully you last night?"

Old Xu Qing blushed, of course he didn't admit that he walked against the wall this morning, so he said: "Where is that, obviously I bullied her, okay?"

Xun Xueer smiled and asked, "Then why did Xu Lang sleep all afternoon?"

Xu Qing swallowed, insisting not to admit it, and only said: "That's because I was too excited last night and didn't sleep. After the big event was completed, I felt tired."

Xun Xueer didn't ask any more questions, she looked up at the door and said, "Hey, Shimei is here."

Xu Qing's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look, only to see Huang Shimei biting her lower lip and sticking out her little tongue. Suddenly, a dull pain hit Xu Qing's waist, and she hurriedly turned her head away.At this time, Xiaoyue who came with Huang Shimei stomped her feet, pulled Huang Shimei's clothes, and blamed her for not cherishing Xu Qing.Then, he came over to help Xu Qing rub his shoulders and beat his back.

Although Xu Qing was moved, he also knew that he could not get close to women today, otherwise he would really have to empty his body, so he said to Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, sit down and eat quickly, and rub it later?"

Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Qi rushed over one after another, and Huang Shimei didn't blame Xu Qing, who just started eating dinner.During the banquet, all the girls picked the most nourishing and kidney-nourishing food for Xu Qing to eat, needless to say.In the next few days, the engraver was basically proficient in polishing glass, so Xu Qing took out the remaining six pieces of good medicine jade, drew curves respectively, and handed them to him for polishing.

On New Year's Eve, Hongshan Town was brightly lit, and the nearby villagers rushed to Hongshan Town to celebrate the new year despite the wind and snow.There is no sleep on New Year’s Eve. Villagers in each village must release their emotions that have been suppressed for a year on this night. Men from each village and each household are divided into groups, each holding red silk, holding torches, and going from house to house from the upper village. Daoxia Village.This, I am afraid, is the predecessor of playing dragon and lion dance.After playing the third watch, it is the New Year, and you must gather your emotions, feel at ease, and farm steadily.

According to the custom, the first month does not talk about dirty work, does not get angry, and does not move the soil.The two characters of yin and yang seem to be able to explain everything about the Chinese nation. The role of philosophy and the beauty lies in being able to see through the world.

Xu Qing's house, Bo Mansion in Luonan County, was also brightly lit all night long.In the aisle, many bamboo sticks were burning, crackling non-stop.In Xu Qing's lobby, those who are good at singing and dancing will come up to sing and dance, and those who can eat and drink will sit on the ground and chew and drink.The brazier was burning vigorously, making everyone's faces flushed.Before the third shift, Xu Qing distributed lucky money to the servants one by one—under the supervision of Xun Xueer and others, there will be red envelopes for New Year's greetings early tomorrow morning.

Xu Qing had previously planned to have a multi-person wedding by matching the male and female maidservants in the family years ago, but in the end he was delayed by making telescopes.There are still improved guns in the back, and they are at a loss. It seems that the single men and women in the county magistrate's mansion will have to wait another year.

In Chang'an City, the curfew was also lifted on New Year's Eve, and there were drunk people lying on the streets.On this day, Xun Fang, who was in charge of Xu Qing's family property in Chang'an City alone,
He also drank some wine. In the past three years, he has studied literature and business in Chang'an City, and he has finally made some achievements.But he knew that all of his achievements came from Xu Qing, who was hundreds of miles away, and his achievements would ultimately belong to Xu Qing, who was hundreds of miles away.

But he has no regrets.

In Chang'an City, he was the only one who could enter and leave the palaces of the great princes without having to rely on posts, and he was also the only ordinary person who could directly enter and exit the palace.

A great honor.

There are also great benefits.

A few months ago, the general supervisor in the palace offered him an olive branch, and he was a member of the sixth-rank general supervisor. Last year, the magistrate of Chang'an hired him as the city magistrate, but Xun Fang declined one by one.All of them are Beijing officials of the sixth grade or above. On weekdays, even a magistrate of Shangxian County would not do it.Xun Fang still refused, just because Xu Qing told him that the officialdom is dangerous, and Chang'an is even more dangerous... In recent days, there have been rumors that Xu Qing has returned to Luonan and will return to Chang'an soon, and he ordered someone to clean the room in Chang'an It must be clean and festive red, to welcome Xu Qing.

In the Taiji Palace, there are also red stickers everywhere.

The maids and eunuchs put on new clothes, and the guards and pavilions everywhere were decorated in strict accordance with royal etiquette.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Li Yuan hosted a banquet, and the Manchu courts gathered together civil and military forces, singing and dancing continuously.This is the eighth year, and it is the eighth New Year's Eve that Li Yuan spent in Taiji Palace, nothing has changed.With such civil and military songs, such courtiers worshiping, Li Yuan suddenly felt that being an emperor is quite boring.He was even quite tired, but it was better than before. He was an official in Taiyuan, enjoying the prosperity and wealth of the world, as well as the leisure in the world.How could it be reversed at once? After the reversal, Li Yuan never had a day of peace.

He shook his head, throwing out the hero's dying thoughts.

The only difference from last year is that everyone at this year's banquet seemed to be a little forced to smile, forced to smile, Wang Xifeng in the red building died of mental exhaustion after a forced smile.This year, the Turks in the north attacked aggressively, and there were still many people in Chang'an who were harboring evil intentions. Li Yuan also began to feel that there were too many flies, and he would never end his life.

Emphasis on the crown prince, Li Yuan smiled, now, the crown prince has been standing for so long, if you don't favor him, who should you favor?King Qin jumps up and down, don't I know?But what happened to the prince.Li Yuan thought about it, looked at the prince, and counted the princes, all the princes were happy and happy, what a picture of brothers and sisters respecting each other!
It would be nice if that was the case.

Looking to the other side of the courtiers, the red faction and the purple robes were all looking left and right, talking with smiles.Li Yuan snorted coldly, if these people hadn't been playing tricks between the King of Qin and the prince, maybe there would really be brothers and sisters... Li Yuan forgot for a moment, "The most ruthless emperor's family".

If Su Shi was born early, Li Yuan must have memorized one of his poems: Everyone adopts a son who hopes to be smart, but I have been fooled by being smart all my life.

Seeing that Li Yuan was drowsy and showing a tired expression, the accompanying eunuch winked at another eunuch.After winking one by one, the officials and the prince gradually stopped talking.Li Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the east of Chang'an City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he thought to himself, that brat is really, given him a few months to travel, it really took so long.

All the ministers lowered their heads and heard Li Yuan say, let's stop the banquet.

Immediately, Li Yuan called the Minister of Rites, the General of the Sixteenth Guards, and the left and right servants of the Minister to the inner hall.

Half an hour later, an edict was issued from Chang'an, and they rushed to Luonan, speeding up their horses, as if they wanted to catch up with the edict issued a few days ago.
