Zhijun Xiangu

Year off

On the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tian Zhong brought the news that Mrs. Tingyin had passed away.

Hearing this news, Yun Qingyue, who wrote the blessing lamp, paused, and the thick ink on the brush dripped down, and she didn't even notice that the clothes were stained.

Still can't survive this winter...

"Understood." Yun Qingyue tried her best to be calm, and said to Tian Zhong, "Uncle Tian, ​​help me send some things to Su Qing in the name of Master Li."

Aunt Yin's illness was treated by Su Qing for many years, if it were possible that she would have died five years ago, but the robbing doctor under the King of Hades could not change the book of life and death after all.He didn't need to give this gift originally, but Master Li will definitely send a big gift in the future to thank Mr. Su for his help, so why don't he give it first.

The master of the Li family that the old lady married is indeed a trustworthy man. Although he has a family property, he is not rich, but these years, he has never been stingy in spending on treating his wife's illness, and he has not shown any impatience in the process. I have been guarding unswervingly.

He respected his wife's opinion very much, and did not invite Yun Qingyue and Ye Ling to the funeral, although as long as he said something, even the emperor who was busy with his daily affairs could come out of the palace immediately.

Yun Qingyue casually put the dirty clothes aside, picked up the pen but suddenly forgot what she wanted to write.

After all, old friends and new acquaintances are all ghosts, and you can't see you after visiting thousands of mountains.

Le Xuanying dried the ink on the paper, and found that Yun Qingyue seemed to be in a daze, so she showed the words on the paper to Ye Ya: "Sister Wang Shu, look at what I wrote!"

Ye Ya, with "I'm going to die" all over her face, took the paper, looked at the delicate handwriting, which is not bad for a child of this age, and said weakly: "...It's pretty good, sir taught you?"

Le Xuanying said honestly: "No, my father taught me, and my husband ran away because of my anger."

Ye Ya thought to herself: "...ah, it's Grandpa Yi..."

Le Xuanying couldn't help but said: "Sister Wangshu, why do you look so tired?" Isn't Chinese New Year supposed to be very happy?

"Sister, just call me, my heart can't take it anymore." Ye Ya managed to raise her spirits, "I'm top-heavy now, try wearing this pile of things on your head, and you'll be tired too."

Pointing to the hair accessory that jingled when she moved her head, Ye Ya broke down and said, "Father, why do I still wear such troublesome clothes and so many things at home, isn't it relaxing at home? !"

Le Xuanying said: "It's very beautiful."

Yun Qingyue turned her head and scolded her while the iron was hot: "Look, Xuanying knows that you look better than wearing men's clothes."

Ye Ya: "..."

"Back then, your grandma's greatest wish was to be able to wear a red dress again... that red is more beautiful than the sunset..." Yun Qingyue's voice suddenly became sad, as if she was caught in memory, looking out the window slowly Slowly said, "But forced by the palace rules, the last time your grandmother wore a red dress was the big wedding, and then your grandmother carefully put away all her red clothes, hoping to let her daughter wear such beautiful clothes and become a The most free girl in the world, but she doesn't have a daughter, so she can only pin her hopes on her granddaughter..."

Yun Qingyue said: "My Wang Shu is such a good-looking child, this is all the wish left to you by your grandmother..."

Ye Ya looked at Yun Qingyue in disbelief.

She doesn't know if it's her grandmother's wish, but Yun Qingyue is definitely not serious - he just pulled Le Xuanying past him and rubbed his soft white hair.

"Ah, I got it." Ye Ya said discouragedly, "Isn't it just a dress..."

She can't wear it!

"That's how it should be," Yun Qingyue said, "It's right for a girl to dress up better, especially before you arrive. You should be bright and flamboyant at an age. If you wear white clothes all day long, then you know that Aunt Luzhu is looking forward to it." How many years can wait for you to grow up and dress you up better, that's good for you."

He even tacitly allowed Ye Ya to play with those weird snakes and scorpions all day long, does he have such an enlightened father!

The members of the Beitang Spirit Clan are not bad-looking, they are known as "spiritual blood nourishes beautiful women".

Although Ye Ya's eye color is similar to Yun Qingyue's, but Yun Qingyue has some Western Region blood mixed in her body, and she has a sharp sense of beauty when she is not smiling, but it is rare for others to see that sharpness , because he seems to be born with a smile on his mouth.

Ye Ya's facial features are soft and bright. Although she doesn't have the temperament of years, she has the bright and lively appearance of a young man. She can't lose to any girl in Chang'an. Her skin is very white against the green eyes, but she is not That kind of extreme paleness that looks awkward makes people feel very comfortable.

A trace of hesitation flashed inadvertently in his eyes, Ye Ya seemed to want to say something, but he still couldn't say it.

Le Xuanying went to look at Yun Qingyue's writing: "Long live a hundred years, be safe and happy...is it gone?"

Yun Qingyue said: "Well, that's all. Let's go, those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, don't write these things, brother will take you out to set off firecrackers."

Ye Ya said quietly: "Is there still my share?"

Yun Qingyue knocked on her head with a fan handle: "Don't be so weird, am I less fun than you? How grown up, can I still say to you 'Brother will take you there'?"

Several people walked out of the house, and several servants packed up the words, ready to take them out and tie them into lamps.

"Hey, do you remember the writing in the prince's room? Just that...know what the hell, do you know where the prince got it?" The younger servant was not very literate, and recalled with difficulty.

Another person responded: "I really haven't heard of any master's words, but it must be very precious to be hung in the room by the prince, so careful and regular maintenance and cleaning."

This year's year-end situation is special, Yun Qingyue was specially approved by Ye Ling for a long vacation, even if he wanted to go back to work, Ye Ling could not agree.

Yun Qingyue then felt at ease as a piece of bacon, watching the other busy people in the court all turn lean.

At the end of the new year, all officials, big and small, will be upset. It is to give gifts based on relationships. You have to rack your brains and think hard. You also have to worry that if you send the wrong gift, it will make people unhappy, or the family will not be happy if it is not delivered. no.

Ye Ling has been very good at cleaning up corrupt officials these years, and those who dare to embezzle, accept bribes and give away silver, gold and precious jewelry are almost extinct, so these people who are sophisticated in the world just turn a blind eye.

In terms of Yun Qingyue's status and official position, there must be an endless stream of people giving gifts during the Chinese New Year, but that was only in the first two years, that is, when Yun Qingyue first started fighting, people felt that the rotten wood of King Yue was finally ready to be carved. Everyone wanted to come and have a dip, but why did it become like this?

Those who are familiar with Yun Qingyue will know what a bastard he is. He is not as open and upright as Xu Fei, and he is not as easy to pay for things as greedy. He will only accept things with peace of mind, and then tell people Push the gift giver out, close the door and count the money.

work?Get involved?what is that?I'm a prince, shouldn't you give me something?

After a long time, the seven orifices were so angry at giving gifts, and no one came, which was exactly what Yun Qingyue wanted.

The only ones who give gifts to the Yue Palace every year are only some juniors who have a good relationship with Yun Qingyue, Old Madam An, Wuyang Hou's Mansion, and others in the palace.

This year Jiang Lou was busy dealing with the handover of the Changyun Mansion and had no time to go back to Chang'an. His wife had an idea, so the whole family went to Xiangyang to celebrate the New Year.

Ye Ling understood his younger brother's mood, so he didn't ask him and Ye Ya to attend this year's palace banquet, and gave him a lot of things to let him stay in peace, and stop challenging his old brother's heart.

As a result, there were only two Yun Qingyues to guard against—Ye Xie and Gu Xiao.

If fanatical fans like Ye Xie see Yu Lin now, Yun Qingyue can't imagine the consequences, he is afraid that tomorrow Chang'an's headline gossip will be "Yue Wang Ning Wang snatches children in the street"...

Yun Qingyue hurriedly asked Sanlin to send an ancient book to Prince Ning's Mansion, and picked out some lonely books from Ye Ya's confiscated books and sent them together, so that this guy could read them all within a few months. There is no time to come to Yue Palace to look for him.

But Gu Xiao...

Yun Qingyue really didn't expect that the dead child was far away in Dingbei and still wouldn't let him settle down, so she casually threw the gift box from the Dingbei Palace to Sanlin: "Throw it into... the warehouse."

Sanlin: "My lord, don't you need to take the princess there? Isn't this for the princess?"

Yun Qingyue waved her hand: "No, throw it in the warehouse, let's talk about it when she can remember."

Based on Ye Ya's memory of these "trivial things", he was sure that within a few months, Ye Ya couldn't think of such a thing at all.

In the afternoon, Ye Ya found Yun Qingyue: "Father, where did brother Yuansi send me? That's the special product he found for me in Dingbei. If you can't find it here, where did you put it?"

"..." Yun Qingyue gritted her teeth, "The warehouse."

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

The curfew time this day is much later than usual, but there is still a curfew at that time. There are so many people rushing to play on the street, and you can lose three of them when you turn around. The only ones who play around in a good mood are ignorant little hairy children.

But the celebration is also real - the city is full of gongs and drums, firecrackers are loud, red lanterns are hung on the eaves, "Daofu" is pasted on the door, and the sound of firecrackers can continue until the next day, reminding people of the coming New Year .

The Yue Palace is so big, with mountains and rivers, and there are many people who are not afraid of being busy. Le Xuanying has visited Chang'an a few days ago, so there is no need to crowd the crowds—in fact, he tried, but was pushed back.

Le Xuanying was wearing a newly made small sapphire blue cloak, with cloud-like dark lines on the brocade surface, and the snow-white fur collar could bury half of his face.Yun Qingyue fastened the lace of the cloak for him, pinched that little face, and then waved her hand: "Let's play!"

Le Xuanying did not know what method she used to make Ye Ya, who heard something wrong with him calling him "sister", happily agreed to play snowball fights with him.

Looking at the two figures and the servants who accompanied them, Yun Qingyue, who had enjoyed the life of "children and daughters" for several days, was standing in the corridor, a little lost in thought.

The more he raises it, the more natural it will become, he can even pinch his face now at his fingertips.

A snowball flew in the air, trying to sneak attack Yun Qingyue who was in a daze.

As a result, Yun Qingyue didn't even hide.

The snowball hit his face perfectly, and Ye Ya wondered if she had misread it—the snowball thrown by Le Xuanying should only hit his chest, right?

"It's quite round." Yun Qingyue praised, wiped off the snow on her face, and said with a smile, "The sneak attack was successful."

"It hit Qingyue!" Le Xuanying rushed over. It was originally the result of hanging on Yun Qingyue's leg, but Yun Qingyue caught it firmly.Le Xuanying took the opportunity to grab Yun Qingyue's hand, and said strangely, "You've already touched the snow, why aren't your hands cold?"

He has been a little afraid of the cold since he was a child, and his hands are cold when he freezes. It is because he is young and has the capital to resist.

"Because I have to protect your hand." Yun Qingyue sent him some internal energy to warm up the cold fingertips, and said helplessly, "Who else will do this to you?"

Children's hands are raw and jade-like, and the temperature is also similar.

When eating at night, it was still Yun Qingyue who cooked. He was in a good mood and accidentally overcooked, even serving servants. The servants who stayed in the Yue Palace for the New Year were enough to eat, and the cook was completely on vacation.

When it was getting dark, Tian Zhong asked: "Master, do you have dinner?"

"Come on, let everyone sit down and eat," Yun Qingyue said after moving a few more tables in the dining room, "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to fiddle with those messy forms."

As soon as it got dark, the servants from the palace arrived. This year, there were especially a lot of things, and there were even sweet soups and snacks specially for children.

Looking at the teacup in Yun Qingyue's hand, the servant asked curiously: "Hey, why didn't the prince drink some wine to celebrate?"

Yun Qingyue glanced at Le Xuanying and sighed, "Quit."

Yun Qingyue discovered a problem, Yu Lin didn't like to eat whole fish, but Le Xuanying liked it very much, half of a fish went into his stomach, and he ate it very happily, like a kitten without whiskers .

"I thought you didn't like this kind of fish." Yun Qingyue took half of the plucked fish meat to Ye Ya, and put the rest into Le Xuanying's bowl, "Slow down, there will be dumplings later, don't worry I'm full."

Le Xuanying nodded first, and said, "I didn't say I don't like fish?"

Seeing that his hands were not long enough, Yun Qingyue stood up and put a lion's head into his bowl: "Like it?"

"..." Looking at the lion head that was almost half the size of his head, Yun Qingyue, who just told Le Xuanying to stop eating, seemed to have lost her memory in an instant. Le Xuanying poked the lion head and said, "Well, I Just don't like picking pricks."

Yun Qingyue blinked, and laughed softly: "It's not because I hate it, it's just because I'm lazy..."

Sanlin shouted: "Dumplings are here!"

Children are afraid of being scorched, but the dumplings are often caught in an instant as soon as they are served, and there is no heat left.

At this time, the benefits of high position and authority are manifested. Yun Qingyue used power for personal gain in an upright manner, and gave Le Xuanying and Ye Ya half of the dumplings just served. When she looked up and saw everyone looking at him, she laughed: "Look at what I'm doing, eat dumplings, stuffed with three delicacies, the shrimp inside is really big."

Chopsticks are thrown in everyone's hearts - you are so partial to the West!

The sound of fireworks outside didn't stop, and when everyone was halfway through eating, they started to play, Ye Ya whispered: "Father, I have something to tell you..."

Yun Qingyue didn't raise her eyebrows: "Don't talk about it."

"...But I haven't said what it is yet!"

"Little girl," Yun Qingyue looked at her, and sighed with hatred, "My daughter is short of tattooing on her face, and you still think my father, who has read thousands of sails, can't see it? My daughter, my father didn't blind."

Ye Ya looked up at the beam with a guilty conscience: "Then you don't tell me... do you agree?"

"I agree," Yun Qingyue smiled, "Then I'm a melon."

"..."

"What did that kid Gu Xiao say to you at Suocangguan?" Yun Qingyue wiped her hands, and when she mentioned Gu Xiao, he couldn't help but sneer, "It's so fast... How dare he, relying on that one The grace of saving lives, all day long..."

"Father," Ye Ya interrupted Yun Qingyue, and said quietly, "Are you better than me?"

"...Can we be the same! Your father and I are..."

Ye Ya repeated: "Are you better than me?"

Yun Qingyue: "..."

He was finally so enraged by the soul that he could not speak.

Luzhu smiled and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Wang Shu has grown up, now is not the time for you to worry, just wait."

Yun Qingyue touched her heart, well, it's even more congested there.

Really, it's the feeling that the flowers that you raised by yourself are taken away by others, and you don't even leave a leaf for you, and you have to rush to send the things and experience of growing flowers to other people's homes.

The low sound of the trombone resounded from far to near throughout the Yue Palace, and finally spread to the entire Chang'an. Yun Qingyue was slightly taken aback: "The Spring Festival is coming so soon?"

The sound of the trumpet means that half of Haishi has passed, and it will soon be the next day.

"Father, New Year's money!" Ye Ya regained her spirits, and took Yun Qingyue's red envelope after paying New Year's greetings, "Thank you, Father! I know that you love me the most, handsome and unrestrained, heroic..."

"Don't praise me!" Yun Qingyue waved her hand, "It's useless to praise me, you bastard who is collecting debts!"

Ye Ya stuck out her tongue.

After distributing all the red envelopes from the servants, Tian Zhong, Lvzhu and the others, Yun Qingyue finally walked unsteadily to Le Xuanying: "Wait for me?"

Le Xuanying, who was eager to see through, quickly turned her head and whispered: "No."

The nervous fingers that had been twirling revealed his thoughts.

Yun Qingyue couldn't help laughing, and said casually: "Call me brother."

"……elder brother."

An extremely soft voice came out from Le Xuanying's mouth with her head lowered, Yun Qingyue was taken aback, thinking she had heard it wrong.

Le Xuanying's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Yun Qingyue a little angrily, with "what else do you want after I've called you" written in her eyes.

Yun Qingyue gasped.

After realizing it, he rubbed his nose and smiled, knelt down on one knee, took out the Qingyue Jade Pendant from his bosom and tied it on Le Xuanying's belt, saying: "Preserve it as a present, it's very expensive."

Sanlin felt that the jade pendant looked familiar: "Isn't that..."

Ye Ya stopped him: "If you interrupt the current atmosphere, my father may want to kill someone."

Sanlin: "..."

The repaired jade pendant without a trace of crack is dazzling, anyone who looks at it can tell that it is a very good thing, let alone a young master like Le Xuanying: "It's so beautiful, Qingyue, how expensive is this?"

"How expensive?" Yun Qingyue said with a smile, "It is enough to buy my Yue Palace."

"Including that small lake?" Le Xuanying's eyes lit up.

Yun Qingyue nodded: "Including."

You can also give the prince a gift.

After hearing this, Le Xuanying immediately held the jade pendant in her hands, and said solemnly: "I will protect it well!"

Yun Qingyue: "And then? Does Xuanying want to buy it?"

"Don't buy it," Le Xuanying said, "Anyway, you support me, so I can play here as I please."

Yun Qingyue suddenly laughed, her peach blossom eyes brightened: "Yes, you can play whatever you want! Here is a little red envelope for you." Yun Qingyue took out a red envelope, but he took out several red envelopes that should have only one left, Without even thinking about it, she handed it all to Le Xuanying.

Ye Ya: ... Dad, can you straighten your heart a little bit?

A "bang" exploded in the sky, and everyone looked up. Following the loud fireworks, the explosion sound was more intensive than the fireworks that had been going off for several hours before, competing with colorful lights in the air. Blooming reminds people of the coming zero.

"Happy New Year everyone, be safe and happy."
