In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
After Xiang Yan got up early in the morning, she stuffed Kou Tianci into Kou Ji's arms, and then started busy.
Reward the servants, distribute the happy money, send the servants back home, and prepare gifts for visiting the house on the first and second grades.
Xiang Yan stopped in the morning until noon.
After eating a little bit of food, I started to be busy again.
She took the cook and cook personally to help Kou Ji prepare food for New Year's Eve.
Although Kou Ji is the only one who keeps his age in the mansion, Kou Ji is also a person of identity, and it is impossible to simply eat one or two dishes.
Seven dishes and eight bowls, three pots, one bucket and twelve spoons.
The plates are cold cuts and dried fruits, the bowl is stew, the bowl is filled with bear paws, fresh soup, a bucket of rice mixed with cooked oil, and twelve tablespoons have made dozens of dishes. Eighty-one Dao.
Xiang Yan had been busy until the evening before preparing all the dishes.
After Xiang Yan prepared the dishes, Kou Zhun and Kou Zhong appeared in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
The family accompany Kou Ji to eat a little and talked.
Kou Zhun, Xiang Yan, and Kou Tianci put on robes and went to the palace.
Before leaving, Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji with some dismay.
Kou Guiding said very contemptuously: "He asked for it, you don't have to pity him."
Kou Ji just lowered his head and rolled his eyes without speaking.
Kou Zhun is now in front of others, and he will be judged after the opportunity. He is used to it.
Most of the elders are like this. After seeing the achievements of the younger generations, they like to be in front of others, the purpose is to fear that the younger generation's tail is too high and proud and complacent.
This is good or bad, depending on the person.
Kou Ji II is a human, and the combined age of the two generations is only seven or eight years younger than Kou Zhun.
His mind is very mature.
Whether Kou Zhun praised him or criticized him, he didn't feel much.
Kou Ji watched the three Kou Zhun leave the house.
He went back to the dining room of the mansion alone, did not take a second look at the sumptuous meals on the table, only took two jugs of wine and carried them to the pavilion in the backyard.
Kou Ji spread a thick blanket in the pavilion, lit a pot of frost charcoal, put down the bamboo curtains on all sides of the pavilion, lay on the blanket on his side, and poured himself.
It didn't take long for me to get a little drunk.
Alcohol is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk.
Don't look at Kou Ji's joking, he is actually not at peace.
When others are isolated, they are lonely.
And he is a lonely wild ghost.
It feels uncomfortable to be a lonely ghost.
"Huh..."
Kou Ji sighed, went to fetch the hot flask on the side of the brazier, but felt empty.
After a moment of surprise, Kou Ji laughed out loud, "I am not alone... There is also a gentleman Liang Shang accompanying me..."
Kou Ji sniffed the smell of wine and looked at the corner of the pavilion, and laughed in a low voice: "When did you learn to drink?"
In the gazebo, in that dim corner, there was no sound.
Kou Ji stopped asking more questions.
He got up and went to the dining room, took two pots of wine and two plates of cold dishes, and returned to the pavilion.
Kou Ji put a pot of wine and a plate of cold dishes on the table in the middle of the pavilion, took another pot of wine and a plate of cold dishes, returned to the blanket and sat down, pouring and drinking.
After drinking two sips of wine, the sound of firecrackers in the city of Bianjing sounded one after another.
"The sound of firecrackers is saying goodbye to the old...
Kou Ji chuckled and took another drink.
The hurried beating of the door sounded when the sound of firecrackers paused. Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and he muttered: "Are there any guests?"
Kou Ji got up, walked to the side door not far from the pavilion, opened the door, and two figures, one large and one small, crawled into the backyard without waiting for Kou Ji's invitation.
The big one entered the backyard and went straight to the bamboo forest planted in the backyard.
The small one followed the big figure and crawled for a while.
I didn't know what was wrong, suddenly stopped, turned around and climbed in front of Kou Ji, raising his head towards Kou Ji.
If it weren't for the black eyes, there was a little bit of star gleam, Kou Ji didn't know that the little guy was looking at him.
Kou Ji picked up the little guy casually, let the little guy face him, smiled and said: "If you have a long time, I won't be able to hold you."
The little guy stretched out his paw very unceremoniously, grabbed Kou Ji's arm, and rubbed his head against Kou Ji's clothes.
Kou Ji held the little guy, went to the pavilion, and put the little guy on the blanket in the pavilion.
He hasn't seen the little guy for a long time.
The little guy is a beast. After washing up on weekdays, he soon made himself dirty, so Xiang Yan forbid it to appear in the backyard.
I was afraid that the little guy was suddenly stimulated, violently wounding others, and hurting Kou Tianci.
Second, I'm afraid that the little guy will be dirty, and Kou Tianci will follow suit in the future.
Kou Ji didn't confirm whether this little guy would hurt people, so he could only move their mother and child out of the backyard and put them in the small bamboo garden on the edge of the backyard.
However, I don't know if the little guy has been with people for a long time and likes popularity, or thinks the bamboo in the backyard is more delicious than the bamboo in the small bamboo garden.
New Year's Eve tonight.
Kou Ji also didn't bother to take care of it, letting the little guy's mother do misfortune.
The little guy is familiar with the taste of Kou Ji, so he stayed with Kou Ji for a long time.
It wasn't until he was hungry in his belly that he went to the bamboo forest with his mother.
While drinking, Kou Ji smiled and looked at the mother and son and the two beasts, where the trouble was in the little bamboo forest.
"Fourth brother is so elegant..."
A thick sigh sounded behind Kou Ji's body, Kou Ji's body was slightly shaken, but did not get up, but turned back and looked at the talking figure.
"You are not staying in the palace, why do you run to my house?"
The figure took the servants, stepped to Kou Ji's side, sighed, and said: "How can I really make you a lonely person."
Zhao Zhen dressed in casual clothes, entered the pavilion, and sat opposite Kou Ji very freely.
Chen Lin, who followed Zhao Zhen, intentionally reminded Zhao Zhen to be cold on the ground, but did not speak.
After Zhao Zhen sat down, he instructed Chen Lin and others: "Let things go, people will withdraw."
Chen Lin took the Gong Es and rearranged the pavilion.
After putting down a lot of food and cups, he walked out of the backyard.
Chen Lin took two steps, a very inconspicuous person, suddenly got close to Chen Lin and whispered.
Chen Lin took a meal and returned to the pavilion.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said slightly puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Chen Lin gave a wry smile, did not speak, just glanced at a corner of the pavilion.
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment.
Kou Ji said indifferently: "He won't hurt officials."
Chen Lin stood there, not talking to Kou Ji, just staring at Zhao Zhen silently.
Zhao Zhen roughly guessed that there was someone in the corner of the pavilion, and roughly who it was.
Zhao Zhen said to Chen Lin: "Since the fourth brother said that he will not hurt me, then he will not hurt me."
Chen Lin hesitated, and finally left the pavilion in Zhao Zhen's dissatisfied cold snort.
After Chen Lin left, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were left in the pavilion, as well as the person who would never show up in front of others.
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen, his eyes were a little complicated and said, "What did you do when you came to my house?"
Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently: "Be with you to keep the year old."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, "You first summoned all my family members into the palace, and then ran here to accompany me to keep the year old, what's the picture?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I just want Brother Si to taste the same feeling."
Kou Ji frowned slightly and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen sighed: "It is not easy for me to have a relationship with the fourth brother, and I am just a brother and friend like you. You can still have someone tell me the truth in the courtroom.
If you are not in the court, I am a lonely person.
I just want you to taste what it's like to be a lonely family.
I just want you to know how uncomfortable I feel when you leave the court. "
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji, and said with a heavy voice: "I don't like it."
Kou Ji can understand Zhao Zhen's words, even far deeper than Zhao Zhen's understanding.
Before Kou Tianci was born, he was a lonely wild ghost in the Song Dynasty. Only he himself knew how lonely he was.
Don't look at him laughing and joking all day, in fact, there is nowhere to rest his soul, and his heart has been unable to settle.
It wasn't until Kou Tianci was born that his soul had a place to rest, and his heart settled down.
Kou Ji sighed slightly, and said: "I just left the court temporarily, but did not leave Bianjing. Besides, I was so angry that I was so angry that it was for your Jiangshan society."
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said very seriously: "My country and mountains do not need you to pay the price. When the price is really to be paid, I will not hesitate at all.
It's nothing more than the Wei Palace, killing them only requires one reason.
I don't lack the cause of murder, so you shouldn't use official career as your bet. "
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "I'm not afraid you can't be ruthless?"
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes, and said: "My uncle died in front of me, and I don't feel too sad. It's just a bunch of uncles and nephews, and I will never be merciless when I kill.
If they are all devoted to making good for Song Dynasty, I might be able to tolerate them one or two.
But they are the scourge of my Da Song at all.
Since entering Bianjing, hundreds of cases of bullying men and women and taking other people's money have been done.
When I open my eyes every day, I'm not doing harm to the people of Song Dynasty, or on the way to harm the people.
What use do I keep them
Discrimination of the royal family? "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen was a little angry, "There is one of the ruling and the opposition, and they are all contributing to the rise of the Great Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the Zhao family. It is the people of the Zhao family that not only did not contribute, but also It's a curse in the back.
Why should I keep them rich
The greedy Wuxuns still know that, apart from being greedy for money, they will add bricks to my great Song.
But the royal family only greedy for money, not adding bricks and tiles.
I don’t contribute to my own foundation, so why do I keep them
Do you keep it for the New Year
When Li Di cleaned the court, he deliberately avoided the royal family members. This made me see how greedy and domineering the royal family members were.
Now that I can see their ugly faces clearly, I will naturally not be polite to them. "
After a pause, Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "More importantly, they are related to Zhang's death. How can I be merciful to them."
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen slightly puzzled and said, "Did you find out?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "No... but Zhang Clan died. Someone suggested that they should be admitted to Beijing. If there is nothing tricky, that would be strange."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "This is just a guess, don't tell it to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "I am not stupid."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and ate the food sent by Zhao Zhen, and said: "You have invited all the civil and military affairs, all envoys, and all envoys into the palace, but you left them and fled. Are you afraid that someone will be impeached afterwards? ?"
The New Year's Eve banquet is a feast.
Even the somewhat absurd Zhenzong Zhao Heng did not dare to be absent during the New Year's Eve banquet.
Zhao Zhen left everyone behind and sneaked out of the palace. It is conceivable how much influence it caused.
Zhao Zhen said faintly: "I have given the reward, and I have given the reward. I stayed in the palace, just with a smiling face, watching them drink and play.
There is every year on New Year's Eve, and it is not bad this year.
Manchu dynasty civil and military want to impeach? "
Zhao Zhen sneered, and said disdainfully: "Do they dare?"
When Kou Ji heard Zhao Zhen's words, he said with emotion: "The officials are now more powerful. But even so, there are still people who fear you in the court."
Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said, "Wang Zeng and Lu Yi said briefly, let them go. Since I was a child, I have heard so many admonitions and advices, and it is not bad this time.
I sometimes feel ridiculous, they should feel happy.
If I keep my face straight, who can laugh out loud when you look at the civil and military affairs of the dynasty. "
Kou Ji shook his head dumbly.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Okay, let's not talk about things in the courtroom for the time being. There are only you and me alone tonight. We should drink stubbornly and talk for a long time."
Kou Ji shook his head, "You are a lonely person, yes, I can't be a lonely person, I am just a lonely ghost."
Zhao Zhen didn't mean to go further, waved his hand and said, "Anyway, the two of us are two poor people. We should hug each other to keep warm. The others don't talk about him."
"Drink and drink..."
Zhao Zhen's rare free and easy, drag Kou Ji to eat and drink together.
Gradually, the two of them drank slightly.
Sitting in the pavilion talking nonsense.
Zhao Zhen's wine is not good. It is probably the first time in his life that he was drunk. He can say anything when he is drunk.
He kept pulling on Kou Ji, insisting on giving up the throne to Kou Ji.
Said that he was too soft-hearted to be an emperor.
Said he was afraid of being alone and didn't want to be an emperor.
He said that his biggest dream is to be an old farmer, working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day, without thinking about the troubles of intrigue.
Although Kou Ji was a little bit drunk, he was a little sensible, lying on the blanket and pretending to be dead for most of the night, dare not reply.
Thanks to him, it is Zhao Zhen.
If he were Zhu Yuanzhang, Kou Ji felt that he should use a belt to drop himself on the beam of the room before he soaked up. Maybe after he soaked up, he would let his family get rid of him if he saw himself so witty.
