I actually knocked King Yan and my CP!
Chapter 91 91 Books
The days that He Guozhi stayed in He Mansion were too leisurely, so leisurely that He Guozhi almost forgot why he came to Daming.
— Missionary.
He Guozhi is indeed a Franzian, and his original purpose of coming to Daming is as simple and clear as mentioned above, that is, to go to the East with great ideals, and try to influence the land of the East with his fearless feelings.
His first steps, like those of countless companions before him, were linguistically dead.
Frangji is a general term, and it is actually two countries, but this is not much different to Ming.Missionaries cannot use language to communicate with the people, which means that they cannot reasonably and effectively influence.After realizing this, He Guozhi quickly asked the locals in Guangdong to teach him how to speak, and gave himself a name to fit Daming's habits.
The surname "He" was picked up by him, and the word "Guo" was because he liked the fruits and vegetables of Daming, and he continued to turn it out in the book. The combination of these three words is not very pleasant, but He Guozhi It doesn't matter.
It wasn't his real name after all.
He Guozhi is a man of perseverance, but whoever dares to go far away from the country to preach, who is not a man of perseverance?
It took him half a year to learn most of the common vocabulary, and then he went north to the capital with the money he exchanged in Guangzhou.
As for why he rushed to the capital...it was because He Guozhi had a little more brains than ordinary missionaries. In the past six months, he not only quickly mastered the official language, but also barely made up for the customs of Daming.
He Guozhi realized that in order to promote Catholicism in Daming, it might be useless to deal with ordinary people, because the situation in Daming is such that it is difficult to influence from the bottom up... Once the government puts Catholicism in the scope of not allowing preaching In the future, their influence in Ming Dynasty will be completely hit.
It is not that He Guozhi did not try it when he was in Guangzhou, but the repeated encounters made him realize that ordinary people would not take the initiative to contact them.Because Daming still has a stereotyped prejudice against Westerners... such as being poor and backward?
And brutality.
He Guo looked at his golden and smooth hair sadly. To be honest, no one in his hometown had ever rejected his hair so much.
However, He Guozhi's idea is predictable, and even more reliable than his companions... If he completely criticized the local customs from the beginning, how could the common people take the initiative to contact them?
This may be the reason why missionaries have repeatedly fought and failed.
At first, including the missionaries who entered Daming now, they believed that once they believed in Catholicism, they would have to completely change their clothing, replace their language, and completely integrate into their culture... How is that possible for the people of Daming?
The common people have to completely change their appearance just because they believe in religion. This is tantamount to the missionaries themselves blocking all their possibilities.
He Guozhi's mobility is strong, and once he realized this, he quickly rushed to the capital, but he fell into the dilemma of the second step in the end-how should he open the situation?
I don't know how many believers came to Daming to preach, but which one was completely successful?
He Guozhi searched his memory, but it seems that he really didn't have any.
This may be the reason why Ming Dynasty has always attracted so many Western missionaries.
"What are you sighing for?"
He Yuxuan, the owner of the He Mansion, was leaning on the window sill, looking at He Guozhi curiously with his head tilted.
Sitting indoors, He Guozhi was a little surprised to see He Yuxuan who appeared suddenly.
In fact, he was very impressed with He Yuxuan. He was the one who saved his life and dragged him back from the icy and snowy world... I am ashamed to say that it was He Guozhi's old illness that caused him to pass out in pain. In the field, I didn't expect to be unconscious for so long, and somehow I was not discovered by the soldiers patrolling the curfew. Fortunately, He Yuxuan passed by and came back with his life.
He Yuxuan is a very introverted and low-key person, and he seems to have been busy with official business, leaving early and returning late, He Guozhi rarely talks to him.
"Ni, rest and do nothing, right?" He Guozhi spoke as slowly as possible.
Judging from Ma Han's rampage these days, there are still some problems with his Mandarin training.
He Yuxuan laughed and said, "I'm on vacation, it's going to be a holiday in a few days."
He Guozhi looked at He Yuxuan with some doubts. In the past few days... are there any festivals?Two people with great differences between the East and the West couldn't agree on most things, but He Yuxuan obviously didn't care about this, but turned to Ma Han behind him and said, "How is the progress of your teaching him recently? "
Ma Han, who was still leisurely and leisurely, suddenly distorted his face for a moment, and said reluctantly: "It's still the same."
He Guozhi might have intentionally restrained him.
"This is a quilt."
"This is the cup."
"Hey, I didn't ask you to say 'this is', you can just say the quilt."
"Oh, I didn't, let Ni say it's Ni, just say the cup."
"...Yo, your punctuation is really amazing."
"Yo, Ni's sentence breaks the sea, it's really powerful."
When Ma Han thought of the painful teaching process, he wanted to strangle He Guozhi to death, but Liu Guan didn't want to help him at all, so he let him be tossed to death by himself.
He Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully, and then lazily said: "Otherwise, you should come and participate in the cleaning on New Year's Eve."
"My lord, you don't have to do it yourself." Brother Ying passed by in a hurry, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he heard He Yuxuan say that. Last year, Mr. He insisted on doing it by himself, but he almost scared them to death when he climbed up and down.
He Yuxuan laughed lazily, "The area of He Mansion is not too big, so it's okay."
Brother Ying: ...It's not about size! !
He Yuxuan wandered around the warehouse slowly, but finally, at Brother Ying's insistence, he was eliminated from such tasks as climbing the wall and cleaning the eaves, and arranged a relatively simple warehouse cleaning.
He Guozhi also came together.
Sheng Yin escaped a catastrophe because he went out.
Although He Yuxuan loves to be lazy, it's rare that he has the energy to want to do something. He looks happy walking around in this warehouse. The cleaning rags and buckets have long been prepared, and every time He Yuxuan goes out to replace them, he will find new ones quietly appearing outside.
I don't know if Ma Han or Liu Guan prepared it.
He Guozhi followed He Yuxuan step by step, maybe because he was not familiar with him, he was a little cautious after entering the warehouse, and then he looked at the decorations in the warehouse full of amazement, if his companions with high eyesight and low hands came to have a look, maybe He will no longer hold that stubborn attitude.
He Yuxuan wiped down half of the warehouse, and suddenly seemed to see something of interest.He threw down the rag and turned back to wipe his hands before he picked up a round Chinese cabbage from the box.
This Chinese cabbage is clean and moist, and looks very spiritual.
He didn't know there was such a decoration in the warehouse, it was really interesting.
He Yuxuan had always preferred these cute ornaments, so he put them outside and prepared to move them into the study.
Behind him, He Guozhi was wiping the shelves. While wiping, his attention suddenly stopped on the shape of a ship. He Guozhi pondered for a while, "What is this?"
This sentence was rare and clear. He Yuxuan looked back and found that it was a decoration sent by Mr. Li.
Mr. Li is skillful, this ship decoration should be made by him himself, whether it is the canvas of the bow, rudder, deck, etc., they are all lifelike and exquisite.At that time, Mr. Li was sent directly to the He Mansion. When He Yuxuan came back from the Ministry of Industry, he only heard Brother Ying say something. Because of the busy things in those days, He Yuxuan forgot about it.
As if he was digging for treasure, he put the ship ornaments he found next to the Chinese cabbage.
This one is also interesting.
He Guozhi said with a smile: "This is well done." His eyes seemed to be still on the shape, and he said lingeringly: "If possible, I would like to touch it."
He Yuxuan was generous and let him watch.This ornament is very delicate when scaled down, even if He Guozhi wanted to check the internal structure, he couldn't see it clearly.
He Guozhi looked at the ornament carefully, held up his thumb for a long while and said, "It's different from us, but..." He looked at the ship very interestingly, and the handsome and fair face was very intriguing.
He Yuxuan said slowly: "Originally, different customs and different habits create completely different things." What he said was a bit profound to He Guozhi, but it's not like he didn't hear He Yuxuan's hidden meaning. Holding the cross in front of his chest, he almost chanted: "God is glorified in heaven, and those whom the Lord loves enjoy peace on earth..."
This seems to be a line of lyrics, and He Guozhi almost finished the sentence in a way of humming.
He Guozhi's pious appearance made He Yuxuan lose interest for a while, the faith that had been rooted in the blond man in front of him could not be erased.
He Yuxuan does not believe in God, but he respects this belief.
He Yuxuan turned his head quietly, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Long Live already has faith."
He Guozhi was taken aback for a moment, he knew what He Yuxuan meant by "Long Live", it was the "King" of Ming Dynasty.
He couldn't help but said with some frustration: "Long live believes in, what, gods?"
"Taoist Zhenwu Emperor." It is not a secret that Zhu Di wants to practice Zhenwu Temple in Wudang Mountain.
He Guozhi's mood at that moment gradually calmed down, and he regained his sense of integrity, "That can also be peaceful, peaceful coexistence."
He Yuxuan shrugged his shoulders, he had nothing to do with these missionaries, "What's your real name?" He quietly changed the subject, He Yuxuan didn't want to discuss these principles-related issues with this kind of person who has faith or obsession .
too tired.
He Guozhi spit out a series of vague characters, He Yuxuan listened carefully, "Axis?"
This appears to be one of the syllables.
He Guozhi nodded, then shook his head again, "Not quite right."
This is normal, but He Yuxuan turned around and looked at He Guozhi, seeing his handsome blond hair and big breasts, couldn't help shaking his head, "I suggest you change your name."
He Guozhi: "Why, what?" He seemed quite satisfied with his name.
He Yuxuan said unhurriedly: "Axis sounds better than He Guozhi, and the impression the name leaves on people is also very important." After leaving these words, he turned his head and saw that most of the land had not been cleared. "After the Spring Festival is over, you can leave."
He Yuxuan has already determined that He Guozhi has no major problems, and the rest are common problems of missionaries. This issue should be considered by the Ministry of Rites, and He Yuxuan does not intend to intervene.
He Guozhi was not surprised by He Yuxuan's expulsion order, he nodded and said solemnly: "I will, consider you, and suggest."
He Yuxuan's response to this was to walk slowly into the depths of the warehouse.
……
Daming's holiday system is very stingy, even the Spring Festival can only take five days off. Fortunately, this year the emperor added a Lantern Festival holiday, which started on the eleventh day of the first lunar month and lasted for ten days.
This gives people hope.
In fact, He Yuxuan also promoted this matter... Although Zhu Di had this plan, he vaguely remembered that it was implemented in the next few years, but there are major events such as holidays, so of course He Yuxuan should hurry up and promote it earlier.
You must know that before Zhu Di, there were only two public holidays for Ming officials, New Year's Day and Winter Solstice.
Five days off for New Year's Day and three days off for Winter Solstice.
Gone.
This official is not as good as the Shujishi. Anyway, in the matter of resting and muxing, the Shujishi rests once every five days.The crown prince, the princes, and the students of the Guozijian are given a day off, that is, the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Listed down, it is still miserable for the court officials.
Now add another ten days to the Lantern Festival, which is already a great enjoyment.
On New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace, and officials above the third rank will receive invitations.
He Yuxuan, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is naturally on the list.
At this time last year, He Yuxuan still remembered that he was on duty at the Imperial Hospital, and that night he sneaked away to drink with Zhu Di, and ended up getting very drunk.
This year... He Yuxuan shook his head, evading the New Year's Eve feast because he was suffering from the cold and couldn't travel.He Yuxuan doesn't like crowded places at all, and avoids them as much as he can. Now that his status is still self-willed, he just does what he wants.
And this excuse is not wrong...
"Ha Qiu—"
He Yuxuan huddled in the quilt, Yingge had stuffed two more stoves into the quilt, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I shouldn't let someone clean the warehouse yesterday, too much cold water is bad for your health." He babbled He went to close the doors and windows, but was stopped by the muffled He Yuxuan.
"Don't close it tightly, leave a gap for ventilation." He Yuxuan commanded Brother Ying to open the window farthest from him in a naive voice.
The wind and cold blocked the nose, and he was afraid of the cold. He Yuxuan deeply felt that it would be comfortable to lie under the quilt on such a day.
When he woke up in the morning, He Yuxuan realized that he was top-heavy, and after checking his pulse without hesitation, he asked Liu Guan to help him run to buy the medicinal materials.Fortunately, the people in He Fu were very familiar with the pharmacy one or two streets away, and the boss didn't dislike the fact that it was a Chinese New Year holiday and came to get the medicine, so he quickly got the prescription.
He Yuxuan was originally a doctor, and Ma Han originally proposed to open up a place in the warehouse to store some commonly used herbs for backup, but He Yuxuan refused.
The medicinal materials in He Fu's warehouse are basically rewards from the royal family, so they have to be kept.It's a big headache just to take care of these medicinal materials occasionally. If you are arranging some commonly used different herbs, is it possible that these three people in the family should learn how to protect the medicinal materials?
You must know that if this medicinal material needs to maintain its medicinal properties, it cannot be simply thrown in the warehouse.The cost of post-drying and maintenance is too high, and He Yuxuan never thought of agreeing.
After eating, He Yuxuan finished the thick and bitter soup, put down the medicine bowl and took a piece of candied fruit.
Even if He Yuxuan is used to this bitter taste, his sense of taste is still struggling: No!
After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing the candied fruit, He Yuxuan slowly let himself slide into the bed again. He casually piled up a few miscellaneous books beside the bed, and He Yuxuan could just touch it when he was leaning against the head of the bed.
While Brother Ying withdrew, Xu Shi warned the people outside not to make any noise, and He Yuxuan just spent the morning in peace.
In the afternoon, He Yuxuan felt a little drowsy, so Xuan readily decided to take a nap.
It was very quiet outside the house, because the owner of the He Mansion was resting, the gatehouse was not opened.
There are not many visitors to He Mansion, occasionally Xu Weichen would come to visit.
But apart from Xu Weichen, it seems that no one else has visited He Yuxuan since he returned to the capital for more than a year.
Two streets away, the downtown area is very lively. The flamboyant red has replaced the white snow and become another scenery of the capital. The swaying red lanterns are unusually bright red, as if the dignified and peaceful capital has gradually acquired this lively color.
Shopkeepers walking around the streets, small vendors shouting for deals, young children laughing and passing by, delicate and beautiful girls, Confucian scholars gathered in front of the book stalls... all kinds of things in this world are true.In this bustling market, Mrs. Chen squeezed through the crowd and returned home with two packs of oiled paper bags.
Seeing Chen Hua's condition getting better these days, Mrs. Chen also had some hope in her heart.
The day before yesterday, the medicine was finally finished, and Chen Hua's complexion had almost recovered, so Mrs. Chen dared to find a time to go out and buy some things to come back.Although the family background is average, this New Year's Eve can be considered a happy event.
A new year and a new beginning, sweep away all the bad luck tonight, and fade away.
Mrs. Chen took the prepared New Year's goods to the kitchen, then opened the curtain and entered the room, only to see Chen Hua sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mrs. Chen immediately became nervous, and walked over to support Chen Hua in a few steps, fearing that he would do something wrong: "Why are you up?"
Chen Hua has an ordinary appearance, but he is very gentle when he laughs. He frowned and said, "I'm already well. I can go back to Tai Hospital after the next year. Don't worry."
Chen Hua was seriously injured this time, so the hospital naturally allowed him to leave.It's just that he was seriously injured after all, and he had to recuperate for half a year. If the vacation period exceeds three months, the salary will stop.
But this time, maybe He Yuxuan had dealt with it, and after several months, the salary would still be sent to the Chen family.
"But...how about asking the doctor to take another look?" Chen Hua shook his head, stopping Mrs. Chen's plan, "No, our family is not well-off, and I don't know how much time I have spent recuperating..." Chen Hua was very angry blame yourself.
Mrs. Chen was a little hesitant. Seeing Chen Hua's sad appearance, she endured it and held him by the sleeve, saying in a low voice, "Your medicine money is all given by Mr. He..."
Chen Hua turned pale in shock, and looked at Mrs. Chen in surprise, her face was full of astonishment, "Master He, you are talking about Mr. He, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Lady Chen looked at Chen Hua in astonishment. Is that person Shang Shu?
She looked more surprised than Chen Hua, "During the period when you were seriously injured and unconscious, he came several times, saying that he worked with you, and that you were injured because of him, and he must pay back... the medicine money these days He paid for the consultation fee."
Chen Hua supported the head of the bed and stood up, frowned and said: "How can you accept his money? Mr. He was the official of the imperial hospital before, and also my chief officer. When did he owe me..." He scolded Just halfway through my wife's words, a thought seemed to flash through my mind.
In a daze, Chen Hua bowed his head and coughed twice, as if he had...
Zhu Gaoxu!
Chen Hua suddenly realized that if he insisted on talking, he could only find this connection.
Could it be that His Highness the King of Han committed such a murderous act behind his back because he helped Lord He inform him?
This is really something...
Chen Hua endured the indignation that was about to blurt out, swallowed it down and looked at Mrs. Chen. His wife looked at him with red eyes. The stubborn and worried look made Chen Hua relax his expression.
She has been supporting her for the past six months, so how can Chen Hua blame her?
He hugged Mrs. Chen's thin shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Master He didn't owe me anything, it was just a small effort. Now it seems that I owe Master He a lot..."
Chen Hua raised his eyebrows, whether to resent the murderer or the murderer, he had his own conclusion.
……
In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, there is a small bridge and flowing water, and it is rainy.
Dai Sigong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the continuous winter rain, like falling jade beads.The water droplets splashed from the eaves made a crisp sound on the blue tiles, like constantly dancing musical notes.The drizzle that hit the window wet the little old man's shoulders, but he was so dazed that he didn't seem to notice it at all.
Mrs. Dai opened the door and came in. Seeing Dai Sigong's appearance, she couldn't help shaking her head, and made a gesture of coughing twice.
Dai Sigong turned his head abruptly, seeing his wife standing at the door and looking at him angrily, and feeling the cold winter rain, couldn't help but smile, "The clothes I wear are thick enough."
Indeed, Dai Sigong didn't feel too cold now.
Mrs. Dai put the medicinal soup on the table, reached out and touched the back room, "Hurry up and replace it."
Dai Sigong smiled flatteringly at Mrs. Dai, the wrinkles were squeezed together and turned into a long-lasting tenderness, he hurried into the room and changed his clothes, and when he walked out, he happened to see Mrs. Dai looking down with desktop letters.
The two of them have never been afraid of this, Madam Dai could barely read the last line, and looked up at Dai Sigong, "Are you worried because of Zixu?"
Dai Sigong walked to the table and drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, without any sign of shrinking back like his apprentice.He put the medicine bowl aside, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "That kid must have gotten himself into some trouble."
Mrs. Dai smiled leisurely, "It's just that you rejected your idea of letting him find a lovable person. Maybe Zixu hasn't planned to settle down yet. Why worry?" How can this be considered troublesome?
Dai Sigong sighed, and sat down on the soft couch with his wife.
The drizzle outside the window is still there, and the humid and icy atmosphere is the usual winter in Shaoxing.
Dai Sigong said casually: "He was taken by an extraordinary person."
Mrs. Dai was a little surprised, and her words were a little kind because of the mention of Zixu: "The people you can't talk about, could it be those clans?" Zhu Di's eldest daughter is already married, and Mrs. Dai didn't expect to go to this place at all.
Dai Sigong answered vaguely, "That's right."
Mrs. Dai shot him a sideways look, and said coquettishly: "Yes, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What is it? Does the kid like it?" At the end, she also became a little worried. This twisted melon is not sweet. It's hard... You may not be happy with your hypocritical temper.
"Hey... what if that one insists on forcing it?" Dai Sigong said quietly.
After He Yuxuan declined Dai Sigong's plan to let him find a marriage, Dai Sigong felt more and more.However, with the foreshadowing when He Zixu was seriously injured, it was not difficult for Dai Sigong to accept this matter, but in the end...it was still a disaster for Zixu.
Not to mention the world's evaluation of this, He Yuxuan has not really cared about a thing or a person for many years.
He Yuxuan is lazy, gentle and indifferent.
But Dai Sigong couldn't be more clear, it's just his indifference.
The fact is that after the disaster in the He Mansion, except for the Dai family, He Yuxuan never let go of his guard, and never tried to accommodate anyone who could make him care.
Dai Sigong has been waiting for him to untangle his heart. Before he left Beijing, he thought that he might not be able to wait in this life... But then he received a letter from He Yuxuan, that kid finally dared to face his parents' grave.
Dai Sigong was naturally relieved, he almost thought he could see He Yuxuan walk out of the shadow, get married and start a business.
But today's letter was like a slap in the face, which caught Dai Sigong quite by surprise.
The premonition came true!
Dai Sigong held his wife's wrist, their years were getting older, and now they were no longer as energetic as before.The skin of the fingers held by the two is mottled, and the wrinkled lines are like a gift from the years. This is an inevitable ending.
Dai Sigong sighed quietly, after all, he was powerless, and could only watch helplessly as to what choice He Yuxuan was going to make.
……
"clatter--"
"Clap--"
Brother Ying watched Ma Han and He Guozhi scuffle together in distress, and said in a low voice, "Don't you wake up Mr. He!"
Ma Han turned his head and glanced at him, "I don't..." He Guozhi hit the back of the head with a snowball attack before he could finish speaking, which was so cold to the bone.Ma Han suddenly turned his head viciously, extremely dissatisfied with the smiling He Guo, and fought fiercely again in the blink of an eye.
Liu Guan said lightly: "Let them go, my lord is awake."
Brother Ying hastily glanced back, and found that the window sill that had been left with a gap had been pushed back halfway at some point, and He Yuxuan was quietly lying on the soft couch under the window sill watching them.He stepped on the snow in small steps and walked over, "Your Excellency was woken up by us?"
He Yuxuan seemed to be sleepy and ignorant, but his confused eyes slowly moved to Brother Ying. After being dazed for a while, he shook his head. Brother Ying could only see that the back of his head rolled twice, and He Yuxuan, who was lying on the window sill, was depressed. Said happily: "...I want to have a snowball fight."
"That can't be done." Brother Ying's voice also softened, and it was a little funny to see He Yuxuan's half-asleep appearance, "My lord, you haven't taken your afternoon medicine yet."
He Yuxuan:!
It was an excellent way to wake him up.
He lazily looked at the scenery outside the window and the fighting scene behind Brother Ying, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to eat sweet cakes..." His voice was so long and soft that Brother Ying couldn't help it. Looking at He Yuxuan's appearance with a short body, he smiled and said, "My lord, the arrangements have been made."
On New Year's Eve, He's Mansion still hired another chef to prepare the banquet. Relying on Brother Ying's skills alone, it may take preparations from day to night.
He Yuxuan spent the whole day leisurely, and his muscles and bones were loose after sleeping in the middle of the afternoon, leaning on the soft couch and half-heartedly reading miscellaneous books.He heard the laughing voices of brother Ma Hanying and others. Although it was indeed a bit noisy, it was considered a relief to He Yuxuan.
He leisurely turned the next page, lowered his head and smiled, and the lazy and leisurely days seemed to come back again.
After nightfall, the people in the He Mansion sat at a table.
Normally, He Yuxuan didn't force them to do anything, but this New Year's Eve was an exception. He leisurely looked at those few people who were still a little cautious, "Can't I eat alone when I'm older?"
He Guozhi didn't seem to understand their entanglement, so he passed Liu Guan and the others and sat down. He smiled and said, "A lot of dishes..." He Guozhi got stuck for a while, and Ma Han, who is used to it these days, subconsciously answered , "It is abundance."
"Succulent dishes." He Guozhi added.
Sheng Yin looked at the stalemate between He Yuxuan and the three people opposite him. Although he didn't speak, he sat quietly beside He Yuxuan, which was undoubtedly another stone that overwhelmed them.
This scene had happened once last year, and this year He Yuxuan's attitude was a little tougher, which saved the trouble of last year.
He Yuxuan's appetite was not very good, so he reluctantly sat down and ate some, but the sweet cake contained a few more chopsticks. Because he was afraid that he would not eat enough food, he sat lazily on the main seat and drank hot tea, letting them eat as they wished. .
Sheng Yin occasionally chatted with He Yuxuan in a low voice, discussing some recent medical cases.
He Yuxuan is quite interested in this. Although he still occasionally takes night shifts at the Tai Hospital, he has very few contacts with patients, and talking with a colleague by his side can also benefit a lot.
When they were chatting more intently, He Guozhi poured himself two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "I decided to change it. One of my own, name."
He raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine, and his unrestrained appearance seemed to hold a good amount of alcohol.He Guozhi gulped down the wine in his glass, then looked at He Yuxuan with a smile, "You have short hands, good Axis, listen up."
Ma Han corrected with a blank expression, "You are right."
"You're right." Ashes repeated solemnly.
"Pfft—" Brother Ying laughed softly.
Although Axis's acceptance level is not higher than that of He Guozhi, Ma Han has to admit that the name sounds much better than He Guozhi after all.Axis, who had changed his name, was very happy, and took Ma Han to fight for a drink. Brother Ying and Liu Guan kept a low profile and kept away from the two of them.
He Yuxuan withdrew when the atmosphere was hot, stood at the door and looked up at the clear moonlight outside, the snow finally subsided.
Without the heavy snowflakes, this clean courtyard made He Yuxuan want to step on it.
He looked back at Liu Guan who had followed behind him at some point, "I'll go for a walk."
"I'll accompany you." Liu Guan didn't drink much.
He Yuxuan followed him, stepped into the courtyard with the fox fur coat on his body, and disappeared behind the gate of the mansion on the softly creaking snow.
He Yuxuan hadn't gone shopping for a long time. He was strolling on the street. I don't know how long he hadn't seen these lively scenes. The laughter and noise mixed with many colors, rendering a dazzling New Year's Eve scene.
He Yuxuan was among them, as if he was also one of them.
Liu Guan behind him followed He Yuxuan almost silently, guarding Master He not to be disturbed by others.
In such a bustling market scene, He Yuxuan saw many hanging lanterns. He said with a low smile, "I'm afraid this is the wrong time." The Lantern Festival lanterns still have to wait.
The lanterns that will be brought out today are not perfect, and those who dare to keep them for the Lantern Festival are the ones that cannot be picky.
This is the little knowledge that He's father taught him back then.
He Yuxuan strolled to a tall building, which should have been built by the restaurant next to it. The brightly lit colorful building is really beautiful, with countless candle lights on it, and the swaying lights seemed to dance in unknown dances.
As time went by, the crowd grew more and more. There is no curfew on this New Year's Eve, even if you are lively until midnight, you are still free.
He Yuxuan spent a lot of money to buy a private room near the Cailou, and these seats were reserved early.He Yuxuan used money to buy a seat, and then lay flat in the private room.
He Yuxuan usually pays little attention to his own money, and he doesn't know how much money he has. It was only when he checked the warehouse yesterday that he knew that he was still rich.In addition to giving Ma Han and the others New Year's Eve money on New Year's Eve, He Yuxuan also took money out of his pocket.
He has always rarely had a place where he can spend money, only a few times he was a little paranoid about the private room, and he had to spend money to find a place.Otherwise, He Yuxuan would definitely not want to come in if there is only the location in the lobby.
There are too many people talking, and there are too many things.
He Yuxuan ordered something casually, and after he paced around the private room twice, he untied the fox fur coat on his body and lay sideways on the soft couch in the room.The soft couch happened to be placed under the window sill close to the colorful building, and he could see the radiant picture when he raised his head slightly.
This New Year's Eve must be a gathering with relatives and friends to be interesting, He Yuxuan stared at the crescent moon in the sky, and said lazily: "Liu Guan has been following me, don't you have to go home?"
Liu Guan said calmly: "Ma Han and I have no father or mother."
He Yuxuan: "...Oh."
It's an orphan.
He Yuxuan's eyelids were half closed, the bright moonlight was not taken away by the glare of the colorful building, the pouring silvery white light was like flowing silk, which seemed to complement the fox fur coat covering him somewhat.
In the haze, He Yuxuan's thoughts were a little wandering, and he said softly: "Then let He Mansion be your home."
The house was very quiet, as quiet as if Liu Guan was not there.
He Yuxuan felt that something was wrong, and was about to open his eyes to see, when suddenly he was embraced by the strong force behind him, the familiar deep voice sounded faintly, and the sound of breathing pressed He Yuxuan's ears, so sensitive that he couldn't help trembling.
"Zixu, is this too unfair?"

It’s finally early today qwq, everyone
— Missionary.
He Guozhi is indeed a Franzian, and his original purpose of coming to Daming is as simple and clear as mentioned above, that is, to go to the East with great ideals, and try to influence the land of the East with his fearless feelings.
His first steps, like those of countless companions before him, were linguistically dead.
Frangji is a general term, and it is actually two countries, but this is not much different to Ming.Missionaries cannot use language to communicate with the people, which means that they cannot reasonably and effectively influence.After realizing this, He Guozhi quickly asked the locals in Guangdong to teach him how to speak, and gave himself a name to fit Daming's habits.
The surname "He" was picked up by him, and the word "Guo" was because he liked the fruits and vegetables of Daming, and he continued to turn it out in the book. The combination of these three words is not very pleasant, but He Guozhi It doesn't matter.
It wasn't his real name after all.
He Guozhi is a man of perseverance, but whoever dares to go far away from the country to preach, who is not a man of perseverance?
It took him half a year to learn most of the common vocabulary, and then he went north to the capital with the money he exchanged in Guangzhou.
As for why he rushed to the capital...it was because He Guozhi had a little more brains than ordinary missionaries. In the past six months, he not only quickly mastered the official language, but also barely made up for the customs of Daming.
He Guozhi realized that in order to promote Catholicism in Daming, it might be useless to deal with ordinary people, because the situation in Daming is such that it is difficult to influence from the bottom up... Once the government puts Catholicism in the scope of not allowing preaching In the future, their influence in Ming Dynasty will be completely hit.
It is not that He Guozhi did not try it when he was in Guangzhou, but the repeated encounters made him realize that ordinary people would not take the initiative to contact them.Because Daming still has a stereotyped prejudice against Westerners... such as being poor and backward?
And brutality.
He Guo looked at his golden and smooth hair sadly. To be honest, no one in his hometown had ever rejected his hair so much.
However, He Guozhi's idea is predictable, and even more reliable than his companions... If he completely criticized the local customs from the beginning, how could the common people take the initiative to contact them?
This may be the reason why missionaries have repeatedly fought and failed.
At first, including the missionaries who entered Daming now, they believed that once they believed in Catholicism, they would have to completely change their clothing, replace their language, and completely integrate into their culture... How is that possible for the people of Daming?
The common people have to completely change their appearance just because they believe in religion. This is tantamount to the missionaries themselves blocking all their possibilities.
He Guozhi's mobility is strong, and once he realized this, he quickly rushed to the capital, but he fell into the dilemma of the second step in the end-how should he open the situation?
I don't know how many believers came to Daming to preach, but which one was completely successful?
He Guozhi searched his memory, but it seems that he really didn't have any.
This may be the reason why Ming Dynasty has always attracted so many Western missionaries.
"What are you sighing for?"
He Yuxuan, the owner of the He Mansion, was leaning on the window sill, looking at He Guozhi curiously with his head tilted.
Sitting indoors, He Guozhi was a little surprised to see He Yuxuan who appeared suddenly.
In fact, he was very impressed with He Yuxuan. He was the one who saved his life and dragged him back from the icy and snowy world... I am ashamed to say that it was He Guozhi's old illness that caused him to pass out in pain. In the field, I didn't expect to be unconscious for so long, and somehow I was not discovered by the soldiers patrolling the curfew. Fortunately, He Yuxuan passed by and came back with his life.
He Yuxuan is a very introverted and low-key person, and he seems to have been busy with official business, leaving early and returning late, He Guozhi rarely talks to him.
"Ni, rest and do nothing, right?" He Guozhi spoke as slowly as possible.
Judging from Ma Han's rampage these days, there are still some problems with his Mandarin training.
He Yuxuan laughed and said, "I'm on vacation, it's going to be a holiday in a few days."
He Guozhi looked at He Yuxuan with some doubts. In the past few days... are there any festivals?Two people with great differences between the East and the West couldn't agree on most things, but He Yuxuan obviously didn't care about this, but turned to Ma Han behind him and said, "How is the progress of your teaching him recently? "
Ma Han, who was still leisurely and leisurely, suddenly distorted his face for a moment, and said reluctantly: "It's still the same."
He Guozhi might have intentionally restrained him.
"This is a quilt."
"This is the cup."
"Hey, I didn't ask you to say 'this is', you can just say the quilt."
"Oh, I didn't, let Ni say it's Ni, just say the cup."
"...Yo, your punctuation is really amazing."
"Yo, Ni's sentence breaks the sea, it's really powerful."
When Ma Han thought of the painful teaching process, he wanted to strangle He Guozhi to death, but Liu Guan didn't want to help him at all, so he let him be tossed to death by himself.
He Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully, and then lazily said: "Otherwise, you should come and participate in the cleaning on New Year's Eve."
"My lord, you don't have to do it yourself." Brother Ying passed by in a hurry, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he heard He Yuxuan say that. Last year, Mr. He insisted on doing it by himself, but he almost scared them to death when he climbed up and down.
He Yuxuan laughed lazily, "The area of He Mansion is not too big, so it's okay."
Brother Ying: ...It's not about size! !
He Yuxuan wandered around the warehouse slowly, but finally, at Brother Ying's insistence, he was eliminated from such tasks as climbing the wall and cleaning the eaves, and arranged a relatively simple warehouse cleaning.
He Guozhi also came together.
Sheng Yin escaped a catastrophe because he went out.
Although He Yuxuan loves to be lazy, it's rare that he has the energy to want to do something. He looks happy walking around in this warehouse. The cleaning rags and buckets have long been prepared, and every time He Yuxuan goes out to replace them, he will find new ones quietly appearing outside.
I don't know if Ma Han or Liu Guan prepared it.
He Guozhi followed He Yuxuan step by step, maybe because he was not familiar with him, he was a little cautious after entering the warehouse, and then he looked at the decorations in the warehouse full of amazement, if his companions with high eyesight and low hands came to have a look, maybe He will no longer hold that stubborn attitude.
He Yuxuan wiped down half of the warehouse, and suddenly seemed to see something of interest.He threw down the rag and turned back to wipe his hands before he picked up a round Chinese cabbage from the box.
This Chinese cabbage is clean and moist, and looks very spiritual.
He didn't know there was such a decoration in the warehouse, it was really interesting.
He Yuxuan had always preferred these cute ornaments, so he put them outside and prepared to move them into the study.
Behind him, He Guozhi was wiping the shelves. While wiping, his attention suddenly stopped on the shape of a ship. He Guozhi pondered for a while, "What is this?"
This sentence was rare and clear. He Yuxuan looked back and found that it was a decoration sent by Mr. Li.
Mr. Li is skillful, this ship decoration should be made by him himself, whether it is the canvas of the bow, rudder, deck, etc., they are all lifelike and exquisite.At that time, Mr. Li was sent directly to the He Mansion. When He Yuxuan came back from the Ministry of Industry, he only heard Brother Ying say something. Because of the busy things in those days, He Yuxuan forgot about it.
As if he was digging for treasure, he put the ship ornaments he found next to the Chinese cabbage.
This one is also interesting.
He Guozhi said with a smile: "This is well done." His eyes seemed to be still on the shape, and he said lingeringly: "If possible, I would like to touch it."
He Yuxuan was generous and let him watch.This ornament is very delicate when scaled down, even if He Guozhi wanted to check the internal structure, he couldn't see it clearly.
He Guozhi looked at the ornament carefully, held up his thumb for a long while and said, "It's different from us, but..." He looked at the ship very interestingly, and the handsome and fair face was very intriguing.
He Yuxuan said slowly: "Originally, different customs and different habits create completely different things." What he said was a bit profound to He Guozhi, but it's not like he didn't hear He Yuxuan's hidden meaning. Holding the cross in front of his chest, he almost chanted: "God is glorified in heaven, and those whom the Lord loves enjoy peace on earth..."
This seems to be a line of lyrics, and He Guozhi almost finished the sentence in a way of humming.
He Guozhi's pious appearance made He Yuxuan lose interest for a while, the faith that had been rooted in the blond man in front of him could not be erased.
He Yuxuan does not believe in God, but he respects this belief.
He Yuxuan turned his head quietly, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Long Live already has faith."
He Guozhi was taken aback for a moment, he knew what He Yuxuan meant by "Long Live", it was the "King" of Ming Dynasty.
He couldn't help but said with some frustration: "Long live believes in, what, gods?"
"Taoist Zhenwu Emperor." It is not a secret that Zhu Di wants to practice Zhenwu Temple in Wudang Mountain.
He Guozhi's mood at that moment gradually calmed down, and he regained his sense of integrity, "That can also be peaceful, peaceful coexistence."
He Yuxuan shrugged his shoulders, he had nothing to do with these missionaries, "What's your real name?" He quietly changed the subject, He Yuxuan didn't want to discuss these principles-related issues with this kind of person who has faith or obsession .
too tired.
He Guozhi spit out a series of vague characters, He Yuxuan listened carefully, "Axis?"
This appears to be one of the syllables.
He Guozhi nodded, then shook his head again, "Not quite right."
This is normal, but He Yuxuan turned around and looked at He Guozhi, seeing his handsome blond hair and big breasts, couldn't help shaking his head, "I suggest you change your name."
He Guozhi: "Why, what?" He seemed quite satisfied with his name.
He Yuxuan said unhurriedly: "Axis sounds better than He Guozhi, and the impression the name leaves on people is also very important." After leaving these words, he turned his head and saw that most of the land had not been cleared. "After the Spring Festival is over, you can leave."
He Yuxuan has already determined that He Guozhi has no major problems, and the rest are common problems of missionaries. This issue should be considered by the Ministry of Rites, and He Yuxuan does not intend to intervene.
He Guozhi was not surprised by He Yuxuan's expulsion order, he nodded and said solemnly: "I will, consider you, and suggest."
He Yuxuan's response to this was to walk slowly into the depths of the warehouse.
……
Daming's holiday system is very stingy, even the Spring Festival can only take five days off. Fortunately, this year the emperor added a Lantern Festival holiday, which started on the eleventh day of the first lunar month and lasted for ten days.
This gives people hope.
In fact, He Yuxuan also promoted this matter... Although Zhu Di had this plan, he vaguely remembered that it was implemented in the next few years, but there are major events such as holidays, so of course He Yuxuan should hurry up and promote it earlier.
You must know that before Zhu Di, there were only two public holidays for Ming officials, New Year's Day and Winter Solstice.
Five days off for New Year's Day and three days off for Winter Solstice.
Gone.
This official is not as good as the Shujishi. Anyway, in the matter of resting and muxing, the Shujishi rests once every five days.The crown prince, the princes, and the students of the Guozijian are given a day off, that is, the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Listed down, it is still miserable for the court officials.
Now add another ten days to the Lantern Festival, which is already a great enjoyment.
On New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace, and officials above the third rank will receive invitations.
He Yuxuan, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is naturally on the list.
At this time last year, He Yuxuan still remembered that he was on duty at the Imperial Hospital, and that night he sneaked away to drink with Zhu Di, and ended up getting very drunk.
This year... He Yuxuan shook his head, evading the New Year's Eve feast because he was suffering from the cold and couldn't travel.He Yuxuan doesn't like crowded places at all, and avoids them as much as he can. Now that his status is still self-willed, he just does what he wants.
And this excuse is not wrong...
"Ha Qiu—"
He Yuxuan huddled in the quilt, Yingge had stuffed two more stoves into the quilt, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I shouldn't let someone clean the warehouse yesterday, too much cold water is bad for your health." He babbled He went to close the doors and windows, but was stopped by the muffled He Yuxuan.
"Don't close it tightly, leave a gap for ventilation." He Yuxuan commanded Brother Ying to open the window farthest from him in a naive voice.
The wind and cold blocked the nose, and he was afraid of the cold. He Yuxuan deeply felt that it would be comfortable to lie under the quilt on such a day.
When he woke up in the morning, He Yuxuan realized that he was top-heavy, and after checking his pulse without hesitation, he asked Liu Guan to help him run to buy the medicinal materials.Fortunately, the people in He Fu were very familiar with the pharmacy one or two streets away, and the boss didn't dislike the fact that it was a Chinese New Year holiday and came to get the medicine, so he quickly got the prescription.
He Yuxuan was originally a doctor, and Ma Han originally proposed to open up a place in the warehouse to store some commonly used herbs for backup, but He Yuxuan refused.
The medicinal materials in He Fu's warehouse are basically rewards from the royal family, so they have to be kept.It's a big headache just to take care of these medicinal materials occasionally. If you are arranging some commonly used different herbs, is it possible that these three people in the family should learn how to protect the medicinal materials?
You must know that if this medicinal material needs to maintain its medicinal properties, it cannot be simply thrown in the warehouse.The cost of post-drying and maintenance is too high, and He Yuxuan never thought of agreeing.
After eating, He Yuxuan finished the thick and bitter soup, put down the medicine bowl and took a piece of candied fruit.
Even if He Yuxuan is used to this bitter taste, his sense of taste is still struggling: No!
After chewing a few mouthfuls and swallowing the candied fruit, He Yuxuan slowly let himself slide into the bed again. He casually piled up a few miscellaneous books beside the bed, and He Yuxuan could just touch it when he was leaning against the head of the bed.
While Brother Ying withdrew, Xu Shi warned the people outside not to make any noise, and He Yuxuan just spent the morning in peace.
In the afternoon, He Yuxuan felt a little drowsy, so Xuan readily decided to take a nap.
It was very quiet outside the house, because the owner of the He Mansion was resting, the gatehouse was not opened.
There are not many visitors to He Mansion, occasionally Xu Weichen would come to visit.
But apart from Xu Weichen, it seems that no one else has visited He Yuxuan since he returned to the capital for more than a year.
Two streets away, the downtown area is very lively. The flamboyant red has replaced the white snow and become another scenery of the capital. The swaying red lanterns are unusually bright red, as if the dignified and peaceful capital has gradually acquired this lively color.
Shopkeepers walking around the streets, small vendors shouting for deals, young children laughing and passing by, delicate and beautiful girls, Confucian scholars gathered in front of the book stalls... all kinds of things in this world are true.In this bustling market, Mrs. Chen squeezed through the crowd and returned home with two packs of oiled paper bags.
Seeing Chen Hua's condition getting better these days, Mrs. Chen also had some hope in her heart.
The day before yesterday, the medicine was finally finished, and Chen Hua's complexion had almost recovered, so Mrs. Chen dared to find a time to go out and buy some things to come back.Although the family background is average, this New Year's Eve can be considered a happy event.
A new year and a new beginning, sweep away all the bad luck tonight, and fade away.
Mrs. Chen took the prepared New Year's goods to the kitchen, then opened the curtain and entered the room, only to see Chen Hua sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mrs. Chen immediately became nervous, and walked over to support Chen Hua in a few steps, fearing that he would do something wrong: "Why are you up?"
Chen Hua has an ordinary appearance, but he is very gentle when he laughs. He frowned and said, "I'm already well. I can go back to Tai Hospital after the next year. Don't worry."
Chen Hua was seriously injured this time, so the hospital naturally allowed him to leave.It's just that he was seriously injured after all, and he had to recuperate for half a year. If the vacation period exceeds three months, the salary will stop.
But this time, maybe He Yuxuan had dealt with it, and after several months, the salary would still be sent to the Chen family.
"But...how about asking the doctor to take another look?" Chen Hua shook his head, stopping Mrs. Chen's plan, "No, our family is not well-off, and I don't know how much time I have spent recuperating..." Chen Hua was very angry blame yourself.
Mrs. Chen was a little hesitant. Seeing Chen Hua's sad appearance, she endured it and held him by the sleeve, saying in a low voice, "Your medicine money is all given by Mr. He..."
Chen Hua turned pale in shock, and looked at Mrs. Chen in surprise, her face was full of astonishment, "Master He, you are talking about Mr. He, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
Lady Chen looked at Chen Hua in astonishment. Is that person Shang Shu?
She looked more surprised than Chen Hua, "During the period when you were seriously injured and unconscious, he came several times, saying that he worked with you, and that you were injured because of him, and he must pay back... the medicine money these days He paid for the consultation fee."
Chen Hua supported the head of the bed and stood up, frowned and said: "How can you accept his money? Mr. He was the official of the imperial hospital before, and also my chief officer. When did he owe me..." He scolded Just halfway through my wife's words, a thought seemed to flash through my mind.
In a daze, Chen Hua bowed his head and coughed twice, as if he had...
Zhu Gaoxu!
Chen Hua suddenly realized that if he insisted on talking, he could only find this connection.
Could it be that His Highness the King of Han committed such a murderous act behind his back because he helped Lord He inform him?
This is really something...
Chen Hua endured the indignation that was about to blurt out, swallowed it down and looked at Mrs. Chen. His wife looked at him with red eyes. The stubborn and worried look made Chen Hua relax his expression.
She has been supporting her for the past six months, so how can Chen Hua blame her?
He hugged Mrs. Chen's thin shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Master He didn't owe me anything, it was just a small effort. Now it seems that I owe Master He a lot..."
Chen Hua raised his eyebrows, whether to resent the murderer or the murderer, he had his own conclusion.
……
In Shaoxing, Zhejiang, there is a small bridge and flowing water, and it is rainy.
Dai Sigong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the continuous winter rain, like falling jade beads.The water droplets splashed from the eaves made a crisp sound on the blue tiles, like constantly dancing musical notes.The drizzle that hit the window wet the little old man's shoulders, but he was so dazed that he didn't seem to notice it at all.
Mrs. Dai opened the door and came in. Seeing Dai Sigong's appearance, she couldn't help shaking her head, and made a gesture of coughing twice.
Dai Sigong turned his head abruptly, seeing his wife standing at the door and looking at him angrily, and feeling the cold winter rain, couldn't help but smile, "The clothes I wear are thick enough."
Indeed, Dai Sigong didn't feel too cold now.
Mrs. Dai put the medicinal soup on the table, reached out and touched the back room, "Hurry up and replace it."
Dai Sigong smiled flatteringly at Mrs. Dai, the wrinkles were squeezed together and turned into a long-lasting tenderness, he hurried into the room and changed his clothes, and when he walked out, he happened to see Mrs. Dai looking down with desktop letters.
The two of them have never been afraid of this, Madam Dai could barely read the last line, and looked up at Dai Sigong, "Are you worried because of Zixu?"
Dai Sigong walked to the table and drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, without any sign of shrinking back like his apprentice.He put the medicine bowl aside, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "That kid must have gotten himself into some trouble."
Mrs. Dai smiled leisurely, "It's just that you rejected your idea of letting him find a lovable person. Maybe Zixu hasn't planned to settle down yet. Why worry?" How can this be considered troublesome?
Dai Sigong sighed, and sat down on the soft couch with his wife.
The drizzle outside the window is still there, and the humid and icy atmosphere is the usual winter in Shaoxing.
Dai Sigong said casually: "He was taken by an extraordinary person."
Mrs. Dai was a little surprised, and her words were a little kind because of the mention of Zixu: "The people you can't talk about, could it be those clans?" Zhu Di's eldest daughter is already married, and Mrs. Dai didn't expect to go to this place at all.
Dai Sigong answered vaguely, "That's right."
Mrs. Dai shot him a sideways look, and said coquettishly: "Yes, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What is it? Does the kid like it?" At the end, she also became a little worried. This twisted melon is not sweet. It's hard... You may not be happy with your hypocritical temper.
"Hey... what if that one insists on forcing it?" Dai Sigong said quietly.
After He Yuxuan declined Dai Sigong's plan to let him find a marriage, Dai Sigong felt more and more.However, with the foreshadowing when He Zixu was seriously injured, it was not difficult for Dai Sigong to accept this matter, but in the end...it was still a disaster for Zixu.
Not to mention the world's evaluation of this, He Yuxuan has not really cared about a thing or a person for many years.
He Yuxuan is lazy, gentle and indifferent.
But Dai Sigong couldn't be more clear, it's just his indifference.
The fact is that after the disaster in the He Mansion, except for the Dai family, He Yuxuan never let go of his guard, and never tried to accommodate anyone who could make him care.
Dai Sigong has been waiting for him to untangle his heart. Before he left Beijing, he thought that he might not be able to wait in this life... But then he received a letter from He Yuxuan, that kid finally dared to face his parents' grave.
Dai Sigong was naturally relieved, he almost thought he could see He Yuxuan walk out of the shadow, get married and start a business.
But today's letter was like a slap in the face, which caught Dai Sigong quite by surprise.
The premonition came true!
Dai Sigong held his wife's wrist, their years were getting older, and now they were no longer as energetic as before.The skin of the fingers held by the two is mottled, and the wrinkled lines are like a gift from the years. This is an inevitable ending.
Dai Sigong sighed quietly, after all, he was powerless, and could only watch helplessly as to what choice He Yuxuan was going to make.
……
"clatter--"
"Clap--"
Brother Ying watched Ma Han and He Guozhi scuffle together in distress, and said in a low voice, "Don't you wake up Mr. He!"
Ma Han turned his head and glanced at him, "I don't..." He Guozhi hit the back of the head with a snowball attack before he could finish speaking, which was so cold to the bone.Ma Han suddenly turned his head viciously, extremely dissatisfied with the smiling He Guo, and fought fiercely again in the blink of an eye.
Liu Guan said lightly: "Let them go, my lord is awake."
Brother Ying hastily glanced back, and found that the window sill that had been left with a gap had been pushed back halfway at some point, and He Yuxuan was quietly lying on the soft couch under the window sill watching them.He stepped on the snow in small steps and walked over, "Your Excellency was woken up by us?"
He Yuxuan seemed to be sleepy and ignorant, but his confused eyes slowly moved to Brother Ying. After being dazed for a while, he shook his head. Brother Ying could only see that the back of his head rolled twice, and He Yuxuan, who was lying on the window sill, was depressed. Said happily: "...I want to have a snowball fight."
"That can't be done." Brother Ying's voice also softened, and it was a little funny to see He Yuxuan's half-asleep appearance, "My lord, you haven't taken your afternoon medicine yet."
He Yuxuan:!
It was an excellent way to wake him up.
He lazily looked at the scenery outside the window and the fighting scene behind Brother Ying, and said in a muffled voice, "I want to eat sweet cakes..." His voice was so long and soft that Brother Ying couldn't help it. Looking at He Yuxuan's appearance with a short body, he smiled and said, "My lord, the arrangements have been made."
On New Year's Eve, He's Mansion still hired another chef to prepare the banquet. Relying on Brother Ying's skills alone, it may take preparations from day to night.
He Yuxuan spent the whole day leisurely, and his muscles and bones were loose after sleeping in the middle of the afternoon, leaning on the soft couch and half-heartedly reading miscellaneous books.He heard the laughing voices of brother Ma Hanying and others. Although it was indeed a bit noisy, it was considered a relief to He Yuxuan.
He leisurely turned the next page, lowered his head and smiled, and the lazy and leisurely days seemed to come back again.
After nightfall, the people in the He Mansion sat at a table.
Normally, He Yuxuan didn't force them to do anything, but this New Year's Eve was an exception. He leisurely looked at those few people who were still a little cautious, "Can't I eat alone when I'm older?"
He Guozhi didn't seem to understand their entanglement, so he passed Liu Guan and the others and sat down. He smiled and said, "A lot of dishes..." He Guozhi got stuck for a while, and Ma Han, who is used to it these days, subconsciously answered , "It is abundance."
"Succulent dishes." He Guozhi added.
Sheng Yin looked at the stalemate between He Yuxuan and the three people opposite him. Although he didn't speak, he sat quietly beside He Yuxuan, which was undoubtedly another stone that overwhelmed them.
This scene had happened once last year, and this year He Yuxuan's attitude was a little tougher, which saved the trouble of last year.
He Yuxuan's appetite was not very good, so he reluctantly sat down and ate some, but the sweet cake contained a few more chopsticks. Because he was afraid that he would not eat enough food, he sat lazily on the main seat and drank hot tea, letting them eat as they wished. .
Sheng Yin occasionally chatted with He Yuxuan in a low voice, discussing some recent medical cases.
He Yuxuan is quite interested in this. Although he still occasionally takes night shifts at the Tai Hospital, he has very few contacts with patients, and talking with a colleague by his side can also benefit a lot.
When they were chatting more intently, He Guozhi poured himself two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "I decided to change it. One of my own, name."
He raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine, and his unrestrained appearance seemed to hold a good amount of alcohol.He Guozhi gulped down the wine in his glass, then looked at He Yuxuan with a smile, "You have short hands, good Axis, listen up."
Ma Han corrected with a blank expression, "You are right."
"You're right." Ashes repeated solemnly.
"Pfft—" Brother Ying laughed softly.
Although Axis's acceptance level is not higher than that of He Guozhi, Ma Han has to admit that the name sounds much better than He Guozhi after all.Axis, who had changed his name, was very happy, and took Ma Han to fight for a drink. Brother Ying and Liu Guan kept a low profile and kept away from the two of them.
He Yuxuan withdrew when the atmosphere was hot, stood at the door and looked up at the clear moonlight outside, the snow finally subsided.
Without the heavy snowflakes, this clean courtyard made He Yuxuan want to step on it.
He looked back at Liu Guan who had followed behind him at some point, "I'll go for a walk."
"I'll accompany you." Liu Guan didn't drink much.
He Yuxuan followed him, stepped into the courtyard with the fox fur coat on his body, and disappeared behind the gate of the mansion on the softly creaking snow.
He Yuxuan hadn't gone shopping for a long time. He was strolling on the street. I don't know how long he hadn't seen these lively scenes. The laughter and noise mixed with many colors, rendering a dazzling New Year's Eve scene.
He Yuxuan was among them, as if he was also one of them.
Liu Guan behind him followed He Yuxuan almost silently, guarding Master He not to be disturbed by others.
In such a bustling market scene, He Yuxuan saw many hanging lanterns. He said with a low smile, "I'm afraid this is the wrong time." The Lantern Festival lanterns still have to wait.
The lanterns that will be brought out today are not perfect, and those who dare to keep them for the Lantern Festival are the ones that cannot be picky.
This is the little knowledge that He's father taught him back then.
He Yuxuan strolled to a tall building, which should have been built by the restaurant next to it. The brightly lit colorful building is really beautiful, with countless candle lights on it, and the swaying lights seemed to dance in unknown dances.
As time went by, the crowd grew more and more. There is no curfew on this New Year's Eve, even if you are lively until midnight, you are still free.
He Yuxuan spent a lot of money to buy a private room near the Cailou, and these seats were reserved early.He Yuxuan used money to buy a seat, and then lay flat in the private room.
He Yuxuan usually pays little attention to his own money, and he doesn't know how much money he has. It was only when he checked the warehouse yesterday that he knew that he was still rich.In addition to giving Ma Han and the others New Year's Eve money on New Year's Eve, He Yuxuan also took money out of his pocket.
He has always rarely had a place where he can spend money, only a few times he was a little paranoid about the private room, and he had to spend money to find a place.Otherwise, He Yuxuan would definitely not want to come in if there is only the location in the lobby.
There are too many people talking, and there are too many things.
He Yuxuan ordered something casually, and after he paced around the private room twice, he untied the fox fur coat on his body and lay sideways on the soft couch in the room.The soft couch happened to be placed under the window sill close to the colorful building, and he could see the radiant picture when he raised his head slightly.
This New Year's Eve must be a gathering with relatives and friends to be interesting, He Yuxuan stared at the crescent moon in the sky, and said lazily: "Liu Guan has been following me, don't you have to go home?"
Liu Guan said calmly: "Ma Han and I have no father or mother."
He Yuxuan: "...Oh."
It's an orphan.
He Yuxuan's eyelids were half closed, the bright moonlight was not taken away by the glare of the colorful building, the pouring silvery white light was like flowing silk, which seemed to complement the fox fur coat covering him somewhat.
In the haze, He Yuxuan's thoughts were a little wandering, and he said softly: "Then let He Mansion be your home."
The house was very quiet, as quiet as if Liu Guan was not there.
He Yuxuan felt that something was wrong, and was about to open his eyes to see, when suddenly he was embraced by the strong force behind him, the familiar deep voice sounded faintly, and the sound of breathing pressed He Yuxuan's ears, so sensitive that he couldn't help trembling.
"Zixu, is this too unfair?"
