Uncertain Chang'an

As the New Year's Eve approaches and the day of family reunion is approaching, those who have a sense of propriety will know how to restrain themselves. Goulan brothels have become much quieter these days, and Wen Yuan doesn't care about the small money, so he simply gives it to the sisters in the pavilion and the servants in charge. During the holidays, they often take it with them in the pavilion, and they will not have time to see the scenery of the capital in the future.It just so happens that the weather is good these days, and you can enjoy the snow.The Lanyue Building is still open, but the business is also deserted, and the women in the building are also at leisure, and they often gather together to gossip.

Wanniang stayed in Lanyue Building for almost a year, and she also had a few sisters whom she could talk to. These days, she intentionally or unintentionally used the words of older sisters, but she found very little useful news.It is more practical to pretend to be a guest than to fly over the walls in night clothes when you get into a place full of people like a brothel.Twelve came to Lanyue Building as usual, when even if a bunch of sisters surrounded him, as a Yanwei, it was inevitable to use a false identity, Emperor Taiping had someone do it, even if Lu Junde became suspicious , and couldn't find anything amiss, Twelve was still the suave young master Yan they said was a big spender.

After drinking for three rounds, Twelve avoided the kindness of several girls who wanted to accompany him by using his urgency, and staggered to the hut in the backyard.Wanniang had already waited in a remote corner of the backyard. Almost no one would come here. She accidentally found out a few months ago, so she made an appointment with Twelve here.Not long after, I heard the voice of a drunk man talking, and I knew it was Twelve.Twelve carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that no one was going to Wanniang's location.

"I only know that Fu Qing was often accompanied by Shen Bi. The night before Shen Bi suddenly disappeared, he was with Fu Qing. I can't ask about the rest. The sisters in the building don't know much. There is one more thing. Oddly enough, another sister disappeared from the October Tower, her name is Chongjin. The person in charge only said that she was married, but she was accompanied by Mr. Song Zhiyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice the night before. What I said, even though that is the case, they are all guessing that Chongjin is also dead. Lanyue Tower is more dirty behind the scenes than on the surface. I know not to speak out."

After hearing Wanniang's words, Twelve frowned and nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go back later and tell His Highness that you should be more careful here alone."

The two hurriedly finished speaking and then left one after the other, but they didn't notice a graceful figure in the dark corner beside them, they listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly thought about it.

In the study room of the Princess Mansion at night, the new year is approaching, although every household is busy, Zhou Jinhe, as Princess Yongning, does not have much leisure time. 29 It is customary to worship the ancestors. She changed into the court clothes early in the morning and went to the palace to worship the ancestors. After that, she and Yan Hou met the ministers and relatives of the ministers who came to visit. They did not return to the mansion until ten minutes after dinner. Go to the courtyard to digest food, but to the side courtyard.Mo'er Fei'er had already prepared the things she needed, and when she entered the room, she retreated and closed the door, guarding the door.The interior decoration of the room is elegant and grand, like a general man's residence, it can be decorated with colors and objects, and it has a sense of a daughter's boudoir.It looked spotless, and I thought it would be cleaned every now and then. On one side of the room, there were sacrificial utensils. On it was a simple memorial tablet with the inscription "The Spirit Tablet of My Best Friend Xiao Chang'an".Such a spiritual position is really against the rules, and it is not Zhou Jinhe's wish, but so what?

Zhou Jinhe performed a series of sacrificial ceremonies, still kneeling on the futon, but did not get up in a hurry. Instead, he talked about some recent events with a smile on his lips, as if Chang'an was by her side.

"I think there are a few good scholars. After the next year, Chunwei will definitely have good grades. There will also be many talents in the Imperial College. Then I will be able to strengthen my power in the court. Alas, it's a pity that Qian'er still thinks that I treat him well. We will meet each other in battle in the future..." Zhou Jinhe pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, and said: "The royal family, since ancient times, it has been inevitable to fight with each other."

"Chang'an, the Xiao Wuding I mentioned to you last time...was rescued by her master after being bruised all over by the Huns. It's a pity that you are not so lucky..." Zhou Jinhe recalled what he heard at first. When the bad news happened, I saw Gu Nanxu sent someone to send the jade pendant. It was her birthday gift to Chang'an, and she once said that she would keep it with her for the rest of her life.The rumorer said that it was found on a young corpse, and it was completely changed. Only the tattered Shizi python robe and accessories on his body can confirm that it is Xiao Changan.Chang An has always cherished the things she gave, and would not have abandoned them if she hadn't died.Although Zhou Jinhe was reluctant, he had to accept the reality.Later, when she got older, she had her own manpower, and she sent people to check more than once, but they found nothing.Even after so many years, whenever I think of it, I still can't help but burst into tears.

After a while, Zhou Jinhe took a few deep breaths to calm down, wiped off the tears on his face, put on a smile again, stretched out his hand and caressed the name on the spirit tablet, and murmured: "Chang'an... Should I put down You are gone, I still have to live... The teacher advised me to take pity on the person in front of me... But no matter what, you are always unique, don't be afraid, I will never forget you , if there is an afterlife, I will definitely look for you early and never leave for a moment."

It took a long time for Zhou Jinhe to come out of the room. As soon as he came out, Fei'er handed over the letter: "Your Highness, Lord Qi sent someone to deliver the letter."

Zhou Jinhe took it, and went to the study while unpacking it. Mo'er hurried forward to put on the cloak for her. Fortunately, the side courtyard was not far from the study, so she arrived soon. Zhou Jinhe went back to his seat and saw that there were only a few short words in the letter : "The case has been closed, not guilty, and the verdict will be pronounced in the next year." Seeing this, Zhou Jinhe sneered, she had expected this to happen, and handed the letter to Mo Er, who took it aside and burned it. Someone outside reported: "Your Highness, twelve times."

"Come in."

Twelve changed the clothes that he had just gone to Lanyue Tower, fearing that His Highness would be smelled of powder and wine, knelt down and reported Wanniang's situation in detail, Zhou Jinhe laughed after listening, and provoked A few people were quite puzzled.

"This move, the Prime Minister, has been tried and tested. First there is Fu Yan, and then there is Song Zhiyan. I wonder if there are other innocent prostitutes in the middle."

This move was made in October, and the prime minister was really far-sighted. In this way, Tong'er must have suffered misfortune, and he had to start from the inside of Lu's mansion.She immediately ordered Mo'er to study ink, and wrote a letter and ordered Shisan to send it to Lu Weizhen.

After finishing the business, Zhou Jinhe remembered what happened two days ago, turned his head and asked Mo'er: "Can you send the dagger?"

"Sent it away, General Xiao said that she is still ill and cannot come to see His Highness, and will come to thank His Highness when she is better."

Yes, Not Bad.Her Royal Highness was very satisfied with General Xiao's act of accepting the dagger and not going out in the severe cold, and asked, "Is she better?"

"I checked the pulse. The fever has subsided and there is no serious problem. After a few days of recuperation, drink some medicine and you will be fine. General Xiao is in good health, and he recovers quickly when he is sick."

Her Royal Highness nodded in satisfaction, seeing that it was getting late, she went back to her bedroom and went to bed. Tomorrow will be another busy day.

Generally, on New Year's Eve, all officials stay at home to watch the year with their families, but every time the King of Changsha enters Beijing, officials of the third rank and above have to enter the palace, and high-ranking officials can also bring their families into the palace together.Zhou Jinhe entered the palace early in the morning to greet Taiping Emperor Yan Empress together with Zhou Jinqian, and then a series of tedious etiquette was really tiring. She sat for a long time and was too lazy to deal with a group of elders, so she talked to Yan Empress Gu Nanxu, and brought Duan Changning and the two together After "escaping", the little girl made a playful face at Zhou Jinqian who was at the side, making him envious, but unable to show it, sitting on airs, but her heart had already gone somewhere.

Now the plum garden is still worth seeing, Zhou Jinhe took Duan Changning into the sedan chair and ordered to go to the plum garden.The little girl always likes to cling to the person she likes. She usually clings to her concubine, but now she is clinging to Zhou Jinhe, holding her arm and chattering non-stop. Zhou Jinhe didn't find it annoying, and answered her one by one with a smile.

"Sister Jin'er, can you take Ning'er to play with General Xiao?"

Zhou Jinhe didn't want the little girl to say this suddenly, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Why do you like her so much?"

"Hee hee," the little girl turned a little embarrassed, leaned her head on her arm, looked up at her with big watery eyes, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Ning'er doesn't know why. General Xiao felt close, and the concubine mother said that if my sister grows up, she will be a general in armor, and Ning'er thinks that if her sister still wants to come, she will be like General Xiao."

Zhou Jinhe nodded her forehead with a smile, and said, "You are the only one who is clever." She turned her eyes to look into the distance, although she was still smiling, the smile in her eyes gradually faded away with the smoke rising from the cooking stove in the distance, and disappeared.She suddenly remembered that when she first met Xiao Wuding, she also felt that she resembled Chang'an.

When you arrive at the Plum Garden, you can see the red plums and white plums complement each other from a distance. Many flowers have already bloomed, and there is a faint and elegant fragrance, which is refreshing.The little girl is lively, although usually she is full of airs in front of outsiders, but there are no outsiders at the moment, so she ran away with a wow, wearing a pure white cloak, just like a hopping bunny Zhou Jinhe had no choice but to let people follow her closely to avoid falling, so he walked in slowly.Not many people came to Plum Garden in the past few days, and the snow was thick and untouched. At this time, there was a creaking sound at the foot of Zhou Jinhe.She remembered that when she was in Changsha in the past years, it rarely snowed, let alone such a large amount of snow. Every time it snowed, Changan would always be happy to stay outside for a long time. Although she was not as happy as Changning, she was still happy Extremely.

Duan Changning shuttled among the plum trees in a joyous manner, laughing like silver bells, which made Zhou Jinhe also smile, and called her: "Slow down, don't fall!"

Duan Changning responded from a distance, and ran out of the Merlin to the open space in the middle. Seeing a pavilion, he suddenly saw a figure wearing a lake-blue screen inside, and exclaimed happily: "Ah!" The short legs speeded up and ran over, but they didn't want to slip, and fell into the snow.

Xiao Wuding was quietly admiring the flowers in the pavilion, when he heard movement suddenly, he knew it was Duan Changning and Zhou Jinhe.Hearing Duan Changning's cheerful laughter, she really wanted to leave, but if she left now, Zhou Jinhe would definitely be suspicious. While hesitating, the little man had already run out of Mei Lin and came towards this side.

Seeing her suddenly fall to the ground, Xiao Wuding subconsciously stood up, raised his left foot slightly, then lowered it again, stopped thinking about the steps, and cursed himself inwardly.

Duan Changning was lying on the ground with the cold snow sticking to her face. She just felt that she was stuck in the snow. Although it didn't hurt very much, she fell in front of Jin'er's sister, General Xiao, and so many servants. It's shameful, the little girl was so wronged, her eyes were flushed red, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and couldn't get out, so she just lay there motionless.Suddenly, a pair of warm hands lifted her up and gently wiped off the snow on her face. Duan Changning thought he was a palace servant, but what he didn't want to see was General Xiao whom he had been looking for just now.

After all Xiao Wuding stepped forward, lifted her up, wiped off the snow from her face, saw her reddish eyes, sighed helplessly in his heart, and saluted: "See the princess, did the princess hurt from the fall?"

"General Xiao is not polite." Duan Changning shook his head, held back his tears, turned his head to see Zhou Jinhe coming, fearing that he would be scolded, he pursed his mouth and said aggrievedly: "Sister Jin'er..."

Seeing her like this, Zhou Jinhe let out a snort, rubbed her face with a smile, and said, "Well, it's a real rabbit now, but it hurts from the fall?"

"No, the snow is soft and doesn't hurt..."

Zhou Jinhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why does this little girl think she likes to teach others? "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, I won't train you, I just learn from it, have you ever heard the saying?"

"En! Ning'er remembered it!" Duan Changning regained his energy when he heard that sister Jin'er would not scold her, nodded, and really stopped running.
