Chapter 270 Will
The two asked for a secluded private room, ordered a few dishes, a pot of Meishou, drove away the waiter and the one who came to sing the song, and drank and talked quietly.
"Come on, this is the first glass of wine. I respect my brother. I have been away from the capital for almost five years. In the first two years, I came back to report on my duties. I was able to meet the emperor. In the past two years, the opportunity to report on my duties has disappeared. This year If it wasn't for my brother's help, I'm afraid that my younger brother would die in the bitter cold of Western Xinjiang."
Hong Jizhong personally filled Han Zhen's wine glass, held it up, the two touched each other, and drank it down.
"Brother, you also saw today how arrogant this Dongchang Fanzi is. The purpose of letting you come back for my brother is that you and I will deal with this **** together. Remember what my brother said, and you can't call Lu Yan that fellow in the future." Father-in-law, the last person called father-in-law has already been skinned and hung up in the prison in Dongchang."
"Hehe! Brother, let's see if he hung me in the prison in Dongchang, or I peeled his skin. However, even if he is skinned, it is not a whole skin. This slap is big, hahaha!"
"Hahaha!" Han Zhen laughed loudly, and patted Hong Jizhong on the shoulder, "Isn't it incomplete without the crotch and two taels of flesh? I'm a father-in-law, so don't let people shout!"
After laughing, Han Zhen's face became ferocious, "One Lu Yan, one Xiao Xun, hmph, these two people, I can't wait to eat their flesh alive."
"Be safe and don't be impatient, the future will be long, and there will be opportunities in the future. Speaking of this time, why would the emperor think of offering sacrifices to heaven?"
Han Zhen told about Baihu, "The emperor is really old, and he has lost all his vigor when he was young. Logically speaking, knowing that Baihu is a fake, he only cut off the title of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion. Isn’t it strange that they didn’t copy any of them?”
"You mean, Dongchang searched for Uncle Ningyuan's mansion, but he didn't copy the home of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion?" Hong Jizhong touched the beard on his chin, "Could it be that that matter is true?"
"What's up?"
"Death!"
The emperor reported to the Taimiao on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and issued an order under His Royal Highness Linde that all civil and military officials who accompanied him were subject to the oath.
Luan drove on the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. He got up from Linde Hall, left Xuande Gate, walked south along Yujie Street, and left Nanxun Gate to the Zhai Palace, which is located in the south of the capital, five miles away.
The wish text has been written on the wish board and sent to the fasting palace to be enshrined in front of the heaven and earth tablet; the Minister of Rites is personally arranging the ritual utensils on behalf of the leader, and Xie Tiao is ordered to participate in the coordinator; King Xiang is leading a group of butchers to kill Pigs slaughter sheep.
The emperor had to fast for three days in the fasting palace. After the winter solstice, the emperor will have a grand banquet in the palace, and the empress will also hold a banquet in the harem for the wives.
This time, Xie Tiao and Xie Zhiwei were the first in the list of people invited by the Xie family. Xie Yuanbai, as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, wanted to participate in the customs defense. Although the Yuan family was only a fourth-rank wife, she was also invited.
On the evening of the 27th, Xie Tiao finally finished his work in the yamen, returned home, and gathered Xie's family members in Ruichun Hall.
At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the last afterglow of the sunset is reflected on the window screens, which are soft and smoky after the rain.
The room was full, and Mrs. Xu ordered the maids to serve tea to the young men and girls, because after all, Mrs. Xu was in the old man's room, so no one dared to sit comfortably and took the tea aggressively, without Stand up without lifting half of your buttocks.
Seeing that the old man was uncomfortable, he waved his hand to let the old lady go down, and said, "This time I am going to the palace for a banquet. I, the eldest daughter-in-law and Wei girl are going to enter the palace. For family matters, according to the usual practice, Wei girl can bring one person in. Who are you going to bring?"
The old man looked at Xie Zhiwei with a smile, and Xie Zhiwei was speechless for a moment. Could grandfather put himself on the fire like this?
However, it is naturally good for the sisters in the family to have one more chance to enter the palace.
As soon as this remark came out, the room fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Xie Zhiwei eagerly. She was holding a teacup in her hand. She looked around and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I don't know who to bring, sister." They are all very good, why not let them draw lots?"
Xiao quickly said, "What's the lottery? In my opinion, sister Wei, don't you always love your second sister? This time, let your second sister accompany you. Your second sister is more important than your third sister." Bigger, more sensible, and won't hold you back, wouldn't it be good to have a sister to take care of you?"
Xie Zhiwei looked at Xiao Shi, and felt that he, the second aunt, would never learn to be smart all his life.
Last time, she divided the five shops and twelve hectares of land left to her by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two concubine brothers and sisters of the second room only got one hectare of land each. Qian, who knows, her second aunt is after her.
I heard that in recent days, Aunt Xu has been tortured every day, and Aunt Xu has been made to set the rules every day.
"Mother, I'm not going, I want to be at home." Xie Zhihui glanced at Xiao Shi very unhappy, ignoring Xiao Shi's anger, and said to Xie Zhiwei, "Big sister, you can take the other sisters to go together, last time I followed you into the palace once, and this time I give the third and fourth younger sisters the chance."
"You said that your child, entering the palace that time was not a big scene like tomorrow. Do you think you are still young, and you can do whatever you want?" Xiao Shi was indeed unhappy, and she even looked decent in front of her father-in-law and husband. No more.
Xie Tiao coughed and asked Yuan, "Boss daughter-in-law, you are taking care of the family affairs now. Tell me, who do you think will go with Wei Yatou?"
Yuan's inexplicably became nervous, knowing that the old man was examining himself, he looked at this and then at that, and finally said, "It's best to rank seniority in this matter, and it's safest to rank according to age, but since Sister Hui is not If you want to go, then let Sister Qian follow, next time it will be Sister Ying's turn, how do you guys feel about coming one by one?"
"Of course it couldn't be better!" Qian clapped her hands and said, "It's still the most fair and just sister-in-law, sister Qian, why don't you thank your aunt and sister!"
Ms. Xiao's face couldn't help but sink, she gave Sister Hui a hard look, turned her face away, and didn't want to talk to her daughter anymore.
Xie Zhiwei saw Xie Zhihui's grievances in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "Second sister, fourth sister, let's go to see the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival!"
"Okay!" Xie Zhihui forced himself to smile at Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhiying also let out a "huh" and looked at Xie Zhiqian very enviously, "Third sister, it's my turn next time!"
The old man nodded, very satisfied with the result, he looked at Xiao Shi, "Tomorrow's family affairs will be temporarily entrusted to the second daughter-in-law, you should pay more attention."
Xiao got up hurriedly and answered "Yes", and his complexion improved a bit.
Coming out of Ruichun Hall, Xie Zhiwei followed behind Xie Jibai and called "Fourth Uncle". Xie Jibai slowed down and said, "Would you like to sit with me?"
"No need." Xie Zhiwei paused, "Fourth Uncle, according to the itinerary, sisters from the Hai family and my brothers and sisters from the Cui family should have arrived, but there hasn't even been a letter sent back."
"Don't worry. This winter, several state capitals were hit by disasters. They gathered on several roads leading to Beijing. They just waited for the spring to flood into the capital. It might be safer not to move at this time. On New Year's Day, I will Will set off and find a way to meet him."
