() Lu Huan also understood some of the human relationships in this world during the Chinese New Year. From Monday to Wednesday, Suxi will go to his relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings with his parents. On the fourth day of the first year, he can go to Suxi's house to pay New Year's greetings as a classmate.
A person's visit would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Suxi's parents. So Suxi called and forced Huo Jingchuan out of the bed and asked him to come with Lu Huan.
There was a knock on the door, and Su's mother wiped the water on her apron. She went out from the kitchen to open the door and saw two big boys in down jackets standing outside.
One of them is Xiao Huo, who grew up watching him. Needless to say. The other one was fair-skinned, handsome and handsome, and looked familiar. Su's mother recalled that it was the boy who helped carry the suitcase when school started.
She quickly let the two in with a smile: "Come in, let's have lunch at our house."
"Okay." After Huo Jingchuan changed his shoes, he walked in hurriedly, went straight into the kitchen, and asked, "Auntie Su, what are you having for lunch? Do you have fried potatoes?"
Lu Huan was still standing at the door, smiled at Su's mother, and then handed her the two handbags he brought: "Auntie, a little gift, happy new year."
"Why do you still bring gifts?!" Su's mother said so, but she opened the tote bag subconsciously, and her expression immediately became extremely surprised - one of the tote bags was actually a pair of mahjong.
The workmanship of this mahjong is very delicate, each card is very smooth and crystal clear, and it has a good jade texture in the hand, and it also flows brilliantly under the light.
Su's mother wondered for a moment whether it was carved out of jade, but thought again, how could a child give a New Year's gift to give such an expensive gift.
In the other handbag is a pot of wine. The container for the wine is not like a glass bottle like modern Moutai, but something like peach blossom wine dug out from a TV series. In short, the fragrance is about to overflow, which is attractive Daddy Su ran out of the study.
Su's mother couldn't accept it, so she said to Lu Huan, "Thank you, classmate Xiao Lu, but your gift is too expensive, right?!"
Lu Huan said: "It's not expensive or expensive. It's all hometown specialties. I brought the same gifts to other classmates' New Year's greetings."
Mother Su felt relieved after hearing what he said.
Turning his head, he gave him a red envelope of 1,000 yuan and said, "Here you are."
Originally, the red envelopes that Su's mother gave to Suxi's friends were all one or two hundred, which meant that, except for Huo Jingchuan and Gu Qin, who had a little more each year, the number of other classmates who came to pay their respects was relatively small.
But she felt that Lu Huan's two gifts were a kind of heart after all. She didn't know the price, and she didn't know the goods very well. In Jingchuan's red treasure, several hundred pieces were drawn and stuffed into it.
Suxi had it, Huo Jingchuan also had it, and Lu Huan accepted it.
But when Su's father and Su's mother went to work in the kitchen, the three of them gathered in Suxi's room and opened their red envelopes-
Eight hundred in Suxi, one thousand in Lu Huan, and two hundred in Huojingchuan.
Suxi:…
Huo Jingchuan: …
He jumped up and looked at Lu Huan angrily: "You didn't come before, and my aunt gave me five hundred. How come you have so many this year?!"
"You got it, every year you come to my house to eat, drink, and earn the New Year's money! Are you still not satisfied with so much?!" Although Suxi was also lamenting how many hundreds of New Year's money was missing this year, his mother actually paid for her own money Go out to Lu Huan! But he couldn't see Huo Jingchuan targeting Lu Huan, and immediately stood on Lu Huan's side, "Lu Huan came to the door with a gift, a pair of cards made of blue jade, each of which is a priceless treasure, whatever you bring, you bring it every year. A mouth!"
"Lan Yu, a priceless treasure? I don't believe it." Huo Jingchuan hummed and said, "No matter how rich you are, you can't bring antiques here, right?!"
Suxi glanced at Lu Huan and smiled knowingly, but Lu Huan also smiled without saying a word.
What Lu Huan is best at is to carve some small wood carvings. He can carve them vividly. Suxi has already seen them. It is not very difficult for him to carve on jade, but because he only has a few days, he does not have it. I did it myself, but handed it over to my subordinates, and asked the subordinates to find a few carver craftsmen, rushing to work overnight according to the drawings, and then carved a deck of cards.
"Don't just look at each other every now and then, I'm still here!" Huo Jingchuan couldn't help but rush in to separate the two.
Lu Huan said to Huo Jingchuan lightly: "It's not a very precious thing, it's just a little thought."
Suxi: "That's right! What did you give? You don't have any intentions!"
Huo Jingchuan: "..."
Lu Huan took out all the thousand yuan in the red envelope that Su's mother gave him, and handed it to Su Xi: "All for you."
Suxi's eyes lit up. It used to be one thousand and two every year. This year, it seems that Sai Weng lost his horse. He was a blessing. His mother took four hundred away, but Lu Huan sent back one thousand. Made a fortune!
"..." Huo Jingchuan was so angry that he muttered not to eat dog food, then turned his head to watch TV.
In the kitchen, Su's mother laughed hard while choosing dishes, while Su's father poured a little wine and smelled it, and he couldn't put it down. Why did the classmate Suxi like to give gifts so well? Su's mother likes to play mahjong, and he likes to drink a little wine.
Su's mother secretly glanced at the three children in the room, and couldn't help whispering to Su's father: "I think that little Lu who just came here seems to like our family Xixi."
Su's father was not very happy that his cabbage was arched, he put down the wine jar, and said, "You know how to arrange it, can you not have a pure classmate relationship?"
"Purity, the children all look pure, but the way he looked at our Xixi was obviously different. Before entering the bedroom, I saw that the child specifically stopped Xiao Huo outside and asked Xixi to pack up. , let Xiao Huo in."
"What does this represent?"
Su's mother lowered her voice mysteriously: "The girl's room always has some scattered things that need to be cleaned up before anyone can enter. This child is careful, and she seems to have a problem with Xiao Huo Jinxixi's room."
"I've served you." Dad Su took the selected dish and started cooking, while saying, "You can analyze so much with just a little action, so you should treat yourself as Sherlock Holmes."
"Women are always more sensitive. I feel that Xiao Lu looks at Xixi the same way you looked at me back then." Su's mother looked at Su's father, who was already middle-aged and blessed, and added: "Of course, Xixi has better eyes than me, and this child is a thousand times better than you from head to toe."
Su Dad, who was caught off guard by a knife, said: "..."
Su's mother and Huo Jingchuan's mother liked to arrange Suxi and Huo Jingchuan who grew up together. But now Su's mother carefully compared the two boys, Xia Lu Huan and Huo Jingchuan, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Huo was indeed very good, but he still couldn't compare with Xiao Lu.
Looking at the chicken coop head that Xiao Huo entered the door, it seemed that he was lying in bed at home and not getting up to play games. But Xiao Lu was different. He was tall and long-legged, with a black down jacket and a ring of fur on his hat. He was clean. Not to mention looks, Xiao Lu is an order of magnitude better than Xiao Huo. Anyway, the focus of boys is not on looks, but on politeness. Xiao Lu is much more polite than Xiao Huo. He knows how to give gifts when he enters the door. As for Xiao Huo, he runs to the kitchen as soon as he enters the door - he doesn't need to be expected to help with housework at all.
And it is said that in the final exam, Xiao Lu also ranks ahead of Xiao Huo.
What else is there to be picky about? Xiaolu is simply perfect.
Before, Su's mother looked at Huo Jingchuan with the eyes her mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and her best friend looked at her son. Now a little Lu has come out, who is better than him in every way. Su's mother suddenly saw that Huo Jingchuan, who was eating and drinking at her own house, was not so pleasing to the eye—
Seeing that he was still occupying the sofa all by himself, holding the remote control tightly, grabbing the fruits and melons in the plate, the plate was empty all of a sudden.
no.
Su's mother shook her head, Xiao Huo can't do it, she has defected, Xiao Lu is better.
Huo Jingchuan, who was so secretly arranging in Su's mother's heart, watching cartoons on the sofa and laughing like a cock crowing didn't even know that he had been reduced from a son-in-law candidate to an ordinary friend of Suxi in Su's mother's heart. . Su Xi and Lu Huan in the room didn't know either, but they felt that after they came out, Su's mother was extremely enthusiastic.
When eating, he kept adding vegetables to Lu Huan and asked Xiao Lu to eat more.
The ratio is probably like this - one chopstick for Suxi, one chopstick for Huo Jingchuan, and three chopsticks for Lu Huan.
Huo Jingchuan, who could usually enjoy two chopsticks at home, suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a cold palace, and his whole body was cold.
After eating, watching TV together for a while, the distribution of seats on the sofa has also changed significantly. In the past, when Huo Jingchuan came to the dormitory, he sat with Suxi and Su's mother on the long sofa facing the TV in the center, and Su's father, who had the least family status, sat alone next to them, far away from them. Two people on the sofa.
But I don't know why, the people sitting on the long sofa this year became Lu Huan and Suxi, and Huo Jingchuan was driven to sit with Su's father. In this position, I have to turn my head to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and my neck is sore to death.
He and Su's father looked at each other with tears streaming down their cheeks.
Lu Huan was very flattered. He probably never felt the warmth of such a family, which caused Su's mother to keep pouring him tea and letting him eat oranges. He was a little overwhelmed and looked at Suxi several times. After Xi asked him to eat quickly, he peeled an orange... and handed it to Su Xi.
Suxi:…
Mother Su: …
Huo Jingchuan: ...Fuck, this kid is too good at flattering, no wonder he squeezed him out of the dorm!
When he couldn't come to this world before and could only watch through the curtain, Lu Huan felt that Suxi's family was happy. Perhaps only a family with loving parents who will tide over the difficulties together no matter what happens can nurture a character like Suxi.
At that time, Su's father and Su's mother might not have known him, but he already knew Su's father and Su's mother very well, so he felt very cordial when they first met. Now I can finally sit at Suxi's house... Looking at the steam slowly rising above the hot tea, Lu Huan felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart.
After the New Year's greetings on the fourth day of the new year, Su's mother told Lu Huan to come and play more. She was very enthusiastic and had no idea that Lu Huan was on the other side of the desk when the door of Suxi's room was closed to do homework these days. Write.
After a few more snowfalls, Lu Huan, together with Suxi, Huo Jingchuan, and Gu Qin, built a snowman and had a snowball fight in the park.
Originally, it was to squeeze snowballs and beat each other, but I don't know why it turned out that whoever threw snowballs on Suxi, Lu Huan smashed whoever. However, Lu Huan threw the snowball with precision and accuracy, and the hit rate was 100%. Huo Jingchuan and Gu Qin were both smashed miserably, with heavy snow all over their heads and hats all over their necks, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Hello! Lu! Call cheating, let's hang up? Stop playing!"
Suxi was completely excluded from the battle, funny and depressing, and said to Lu Huan, "Will you let me participate?!"
Lu Huan had to quit. As soon as he quit, the battle situation returned to balance, and the three of them went crazy again.
But the boy squatted on the flower bed, with a big down jacket and a big hat covering his head, staring at her with dark and beautiful eyes, with a pitiful look, Suxi couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to withdraw: "I don't play anymore, I'm calling to fight. What's the point of going, your clothes are soaking wet, let's just build a snowman."
"She knows how to protect him." Huo Jingchuan was speechless, turned his head and complained to Gu Qin: "Or we will make a couple, so when they get married, our family only has to send a share of money. "
Gu Qin took three beats slowly, stunned for a moment, his face flushed immediately, and he kicked over: "Go away."
In the park, there are four snowmen side by side, two close to each other and the other two far away.
Because after piling it up, Lu Huan had to squeeze his own between Suxi's and Huo Jingchuan, and squeezed around, and finally kept his and Suxi's alone far away from those two.
It's snowing all over the sky, fighting and fighting, and this year has passed.
>
/> This is also the first New Year that Lu Huan has in the true sense. In the past, when I was watching the bright lights in the streets and alleys outside the Ning Wang Mansion, I never thought that I would have people I like, friends, and elders who will care for me. Although things like snowball fights and snowmen are common, they are very important to me. For Lu Huan, who has never owned it, it has a different meaning.
The Yan Kingdom's capital continued to stalemate, and the matter of the prince had not yet been completely concluded.
While Lu Huan continued to wait, he went to school with Suxi on the seventh day.
After the beginning of the spring, Lu Huan raised his eyebrows about the establishment of a foreign trade supervision agency proposed by the Minister of War. Although something big happened to the prince, the emperor wanted to keep the prince after all, so from the Shangyuan Festival to the beginning of the spring, he tried his best to keep the prince alive. The previous incident of embezzling the country and making money was pushed to Hu Shang, who came from the Western Regions. In this way, the trade conflict between Yan and other countries was highlighted. The Minister of War insisted on this move, and the emperor followed the flow. agreed.
Like the previous curfew, the foreign trade watchdog also selected a few states and counties to start the trial. If you want to implement it to the entire Yan Kingdom, it will not be completed within half a year.
But as soon as the imperial edict was promulgated, the system on Lu Huan's side popped up a message that Mission 18 was completed, so it went very smoothly, and the total points accumulated to 233 points, which is still a long way from 300 points, but there is a question about reducing taxes and corvées. No matter how fast the mission 16 is, it will take at least three years to complete, so Lu Huan and Suxi are not in a hurry about the three hundred points. After all, it is useless to be anxious.
In the past, Lu Huan's several measures were all completed through the Minister of War. Since the past year, the Minister of War has accumulated a lot of prestige in the court and the capital. Previously, the Ministry of War was only one of the six departments, but now it seems to be a success. The first of six.
Lu Huan maintained the frequency of getting news of the capital from the eyeliner every day, and continued to stay here for his senior year.
It was just a matter of returning to Taishan Palace every few days last semester, but this semester, because of the unpredictable situation in the capital, I had to go back every night.
This semester's homework has obviously increased. The papers piled up on the desk every day are exaggerated to several kilograms. Suxi is a little bit overwhelmed.
However, thanks to his good physical fitness, Lu Huan has more energy than others to catch up with them.
In addition to books, Suxi's desk was stuffed with all kinds of snacks, but there were some blankets and pillows in his desk. Suxi couldn't bear the sleepiness, so he quietly covered Suxi with a blanket and waited for the patrol. When the teacher came, he hurriedly called Su Xi to get up.
It rained all spring in the spring. At this time, Lu Huan's grades have finally stabilized, gradually catching up from the grade of more than 100. In April, the third-to-last unified examination had passed the grade of more than 20.
At this time, Huo Jingchuan asked him to go out to play basketball, but he didn't go. In order to be admitted to the same university as Suxi, he concentrated on his studies.
Suxi also consolidated his knowledge and practiced the sea questioning tactics, while helping him review it from beginning to end.
Suxi is still a little proud. Although the cub is smart and can do many things very well, the knowledge learned in one year is still far inferior to the one she has studied hard for twelve years. But then I thought about it, what's so good about it! He can get into the twenties of the grade in one year, and he has worked hard for twelve years. The best place is the second in the grade? !
Suxi felt the urgency was imminent, and she worked even harder.
At the end of May, the same year, the Year of the Rat, the Year of the Rat, the Great Yan Gengzi, the prince was impeached more and more.
The grievances of the people dissipated a lot, but the golden palace was even more turbulent.
With the Prince's retirement, the position of the East Palace is vacated, and the next East Palace will probably be officially overseeing the country. Civil and military officials had to stand in line between the second prince and the fifth prince. Everyone still remembers that there was a ninth prince who guarded the imperial mausoleum in Taishan Palace, but the ninth prince had not heard any news from Taishan for more than ten months. The open and secret struggle between the second prince and the fifth prince intensified.
News from the capital came frequently, and Lu Huan had not slept for several nights, so he went to Yan State to deploy things, which led to the upcoming college entrance examination, but he had a heavy workload.
Suxi was actually a little worried, but at this time, he could only hold his breath and pass the time. After the college entrance examination, the overall situation in the capital was stable, and then he could really breathe a sigh of relief. This process is indeed a bit difficult, but as long as he works hard with her, it will be fine.
It was hot in the summer, and the electric fans were buzzing overhead. Su Xi and Lu Huan listened to each other. The white headphone cables were hidden from the neck. Xia Chan was making a lot of noise outside. But it was extraordinarily quiet, and the two of them were also very quiet, only raising their hands to tick the options from time to time. After listening to the listening, Lu Huan continued to brush the questions, and Suxi helped him save time and changed the listening for him.
After the correction, Su Xi whispered in surprise: "You only made one mistake this time."
"Is there a reward?" Lu Huan asked quietly.
As soon as he leaned his head over and whispered, Su Xi suddenly blushed a little, and urged: "Go ahead and write the paper, call me after you finish writing this one, and I'll check the answer for you."
Lu Huan raised his lips and nodded.
After a while, Su Xi peeled off two candies and handed him one. The refreshing taste can refresh the mind, like a breeze in the summer's noisy cicadas.
That night, when Lu Huan went to Taishan Palace, he received news from the Minister of War once again.
As Lu Huan expected, the second prince started to do it.
A day ago, the Vermillion Bird Gate was suddenly blocked.
Previously, there was news from the palace that the emperor fell in the imperial garden. I don't know if it was because of heatstroke, or because the imperial doctor had judged that there was a sign of stroke some time ago. In the past six months, the emperor has been exhausted because of the matter of the prince, and the dragon body has not been very good. A few days ago, there were important officials in the golden palace urging to quickly establish a new prince to assist the country, but the emperor has not made a decision for a long time. The next day, the emperor issued an imperial decree to let the ninth prince Yanqing, who had been guarding the imperial mausoleum for a year, come back.
This imperial decree failed to leave the capital.
Fortunately, the emperor had anticipated it earlier and drafted two imperial decrees, one riding out of the capital, the other handing it over to the eunuch beside him, and leaving the palace three days later and handing it over to the Minister of War.
After that, the Suzaku Gate was sealed off, and the Royal Forest Army was heavily guarded, claiming that it was those who lost the edict and poisoned the emperor in the Cha Palace, and all officials were not allowed to enter.
Many officials in the capital protested, but most of the officials' families did not return after they entered the palace for a banquet during the Light Boat Festival, and the officials did not dare to act rashly for a while. The leader of the Royal Forest Army did not know when he became the second prince. These days, he patrolled outside the Suzaku Gate at twelve o'clock in reincarnation, and the trespassers died.
The fifth prince obviously did not expect that the second prince would dare to be so bold, and he was caught off guard.
This is the huge change that has occurred in the capital in just a few days.
The Minister of War and others planned ahead and sent their family members out of the capital. At this time, they had not yet been restrained, but many of their colleagues were under the control of the Imperial Forest Army. At this time, someone had to go to the north and bring troops to rescue the emperor.
However, at this time, the situation was serious, and the entire capital was already blocked, and a fly could not fly out.
…
The night Lu Huan received the letter, he arranged for Yu Linwei, who was with him at the Taishan Palace, to take some measures. Most of the people remained in Taishan, but Lu Huan's six people put on black cloaks, mounted their horses lightly, divided into three teams, and secretly rushed towards the place where the Yan Kingdom's troops were stationed in the north.
However, he was stabbed in blood on the way.
This assassination was as early as Lu Huan's expectation, and the second prince in the capital had given an order long ago, and those who came down from Taishan should not stay alive. Before these people went down the mountain with him, Lu Huan had already instructed that if something happened, don't swear to protect yourself, and don't go to the north.
Naturally, the assassination was a success.
Three days later, a corpse floated above the Caohe River. It was swollen beyond recognition, and there was a jade tablet of the ninth prince in his arms. After the report came to the capital, the whole capital thought that the ninth prince was dead, and the whole country was mourned.
But it was actually a corpse of a death row prisoner with a body shape similar to Lu Huan. As early as half a year ago, when Lu Huan was preparing, he was brought to the Taishan Palace and promised to settle the death row prisoner's family.
The second prince in the capital did not know this, but only knew that after removing the biggest worry, the throne was finally at his fingertips.
The five princes and concubines were held hostage and had to take a step back.
Immediately, an edict was issued in the capital, and the emperor claimed that his age was declining, the second prince was benevolent and generous, and could bring happiness to the state of Yan, and he chose the day for Zen.
Previously, all the blockades of the capital and the imperial palace were only carried out in secret, and the second prince was completely able to clear the relationship, but as soon as this edict came out, the second prince's ambition to win the throne became clear. At the time of the assassination, the person on the horse was indeed Lu Huan, and it was also him who pretended to be injured and rolled into the river, but from here he went straight back to the apartment in Suxi, and the second prince salvaged from the river again. That death row prisoner.
Only after the Second Prince issued this edict, could Lu Huan justifiably bring troops back to Beijing in the name of escort.
Therefore, three days after the edict was issued, the situation changed abruptly when the capital was discussing a lot. Outside the city, there was an army returning from the northern border.
The ninth prince didn't die either.
Since the ninth prince was not dead, why did the second prince, who oversees the country, say that he was dead. The ninth prince clearly had an edict that the emperor recalled in his own hand, why did the second prince say that he had no edict to return to Beijing before the body was found.
Only one conclusion was reached, the second prince, Langzi's ambition, held the emperor in the palace hostage.
Lu Huan led the army to suppress the situation and became justifiable, and even logically became a heroic feat in the mouths of the people and in the history books. Under the army, the imperial guard army in the palace was powerless to resist, and the fifth prince even took the initiative to cooperate with the inside and outside for the sake of the mother and concubine in the palace, opened the city gate of the capital, and enlarged the army to enter. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the Gengzi year, the court was in turmoil, and the second prince was imprisoned and became a prisoner.
What Yan Guomin wanted was Yanqing, the ninth prince who led an army to save the country.
It's easy to want to be an emperor, just kill the head of the person on the throne and usurp the throne, but the hard thing is to surrender the people's hearts and keep the throne for decades.
The first person who wanted to be the emperor was a traitor and a usurper. Rebellion is never justified, and sooner or later someone will rebel.
The second person drove the first person down, but it was to protect the country.
The emperor was indeed old and was waiting for an opportunity to abdicate, but the second prince couldn't hold back and moved his hand early. The second prince also had to act. Even if the emperor did not pass the throne to Lu Huan, there was still the fifth prince who was one step above him, so he had no chance.
Lu Huan waited for half a year, and finally saw that the second brother who met by chance still started, so he had to push the boat along the river, making him a stepping stone. In just a few days, the panic-stricken people of the Yan Kingdom supported the Ninth Prince's enthronement as never before.
On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month in the Gengzi year of Yanshuo, the Emperor Taishang officially issued the imperial decree. Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor edict said: continue to use the name of Yanshuo, the ninth prince is very intelligent and blessed by God, I will pass the throne now, make him the emperor, hope that his wise ruler will make the people of Yan country live and work in peace and contentment. Celebrate with the whole world and reduce taxes for three years.
The sixth day of the fifth month in the Gengzi year of Yanshuo is the sixth day of June in Suxi.
Lu Huan led the guards into the Daming Palace, and the enthronement ceremony was held on an auspicious day in March, and everything was finally settled.
There are many things that need to be dealt with urgently, such as the Shangyi Bureau needs to measure the size to make new dragon robes, the civil and military officials are waiting for the reward, the selection and promotion, the people are waiting for the second prince and the party to conspire to give an explanation, the old emperor who has a stroke Moving into the palace soon.
When all the waste was waiting to be revived, after Lu Huan discussed the matter in the Golden Palace, he first ordered the state of Yan to grant amnesty for three days, and only went to court for three days.
The three days in the capital were very lively. I only knew that there seemed to be a Mingjun who was willing to reduce taxes, but he didn't know that the next day, the Mingjun rushed to the college entrance examination room with a schoolbag.
…
