The general went out again at night + extra episode

"Liuyan, Master Hou sent a lot of silk, you pick a few and send them to Dr. Shen."

"General, Dr. Shen returned to Yaowang Valley at the end of the year, and he is no longer in the medical clinic." Liu Yan only found out when he returned from Fu'an Temple to search for someone.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry?" Xia Qingshu asked with concern.

"I heard from the servants in the medical center that the old valley owner is ill, so Anyi went back to Yaowang Valley to visit him."

"So that's how it is. Dr. Shen is benevolent and filial. It doesn't matter if she's not here. You pick up a few horses and keep them. I'll be with her when she comes back."

"Okay, Liu Yan thanked the general on behalf of Anyi." Liu Yan bowed and bowed, not in a hurry to pick up the silk, she thought of something, and said: "General, you haven't left the mansion for a long time, go out for a walk , There is a lion dance in front of Zuixiang Building today, it is very lively, shall we go and see it?"

At the beginning of the year, every household went to visit relatives and friends, and all the servants in the mansion were released. These days are not as lively as usual, and it is boring to stay in the mansion all the time, so it is good to go out for a walk.

"Then go." Xia Qingshu agreed.

An hour later, Xia Qingshu took Liu Yan and a few followers into Zuixiang Tower.

The Xiao Er who greeted her recognized her and Liu Yan at a glance, stepped forward to greet her warmly, with a smile on her face: "General Xia, what brought you here today? Come in and sit down."

"Are there any free wine tables upstairs?" Xia Qingshu asked with a smile.

"The general is lucky. There was none in the first place. Before a stick of incense, Master Chu of the Hanlin Academy sent a servant to send a message, saying that something urgent happened at home and he couldn't come. He was going to return the reserved seat, which happened to be vacant." one."

"Then hurry up and arrange it for us."

"Okay, general, you go upstairs first, I'll ask the cook to prepare some snacks, and send them up quickly."

"It's work."

"Don't dare to dare, the general is really small."

Xia Qingshu and his party were taken to the second floor, where they sat down at an Eight Immortals table on the right.The table is placed by the low window, and when you look out, you can see the scenery below.

There is still an incense stick before the start of the lion dance, and the lion dancers below have already started to warm up and prepare.The Zuixiang Building on this side and the Yuxiang Building on the opposite side were full of people.Downstairs, beside the lion dance stage, the common people were also surrounded.

"Sit, you all sit and watch, don't hold back." Seeing that there were vacant seats, Xia Qingshu asked the people who came with him to sit down and watch together, without pretensions: "If the food and drinks are served later, you should eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink .”

"Thank you, General." The servants said in unison.

Not long after, a long string of firecrackers was lit on the tall bamboo poles, crackling and deafening, and the people who were close covered their ears, their eyebrows and eyes were curved, and they were happy.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded together, the people outside began to applaud, and the lion dance began.

Among the people sitting on the second floor of Zuixiang Building, most of them are literati and refined guests, they are not as loud as those people in the street below, the atmosphere is very good.Xia Qingshu was originally looking at it with relish, but inadvertently, from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Yuxiang upstairs opposite, and suddenly saw an unappetizing figure.

Wei Linsong sat in the middle of the second floor on the opposite side, and together with several colleagues, they drank and applauded loudly.As soon as Xia Qingshu saw him, she remembered the injury of Princess Erqiye, and her heart was blocked again.

Unlucky, his good mood ruined him, Xia Qingshu held up his wine glass and drank dull wine.

"Look carefully, the one sitting opposite is Lord Wei Linsongwei?"

"It's him, you can't be wrong. You can see that sitting next to him is Mr. Liu from the Ministry of War. Mr. Liu is not good-looking and short in stature, which is in stark contrast to Mr. Wei, who is dignified. If the two of them are together If they appear, they will definitely be compared by others. However, it's just that people in the market gossip. In private, Lord Wei and Lord Liu have a very good relationship. Look, he even pours wine for Lord Liu. "

"Master Wei looks like a modest gentleman."

Xia Qingshu turned his ear, and heard people dressed as businessmen chatting at the table in the back. Coincidentally, they were also talking about Wei Linsong.

"I think this Lord Wei is very likely to be the son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." There was a lot of noise from the lion dance downstairs, and the attention of the people around them was focused on the bottom. The four businessmen chatted freely without any scruples.

As soon as this person finished speaking, the person sitting next to him immediately agreed: "Brother Li, I also think so, this Lord Wei is really suitable for His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"The eldest princess didn't want to recruit a son-in-law before because she didn't meet anyone she likes, and she treated these things indifferently. This time is different. Master Wei saved her in Fu'an Temple regardless of safety. Since then, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess treats Lord Wei differently, I think it is intentional."

"Hey, I also heard that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are also very satisfied with Lord Wei. In recent days, they have called His Excellency into the palace every now and then, as if to match him with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"A good thing is a good thing. If these two get married, it will really be the biggest happy event this year."

The words "intentional", "matching", and "marriage" drifted into Xia Qingshu's ears, and they turned into sharp swords and pierced her heart.

These days, she confines herself in the mansion, forcing herself not to listen to what the outsiders and servants in the mansion say, she thinks that if she doesn't listen, she won't think too much, and if she doesn't listen, she won't care.
