As time went by, it was only two days before New Year's Eve. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, all officials of all sizes in Chang'an City have a holiday. At this time, the curfew in Chang'an City has long been lifted, and the streets and alleys are full of busy pedestrians, and everyone's faces are filled with happy smiles.
Adults are busy preparing New Year’s goods and food for friends and relatives. As for wine, Tusu wine and pepper are necessary; children are gathering together to play firecrackers, so happy. This year is also the first New Year that Li Kuan has returned to Beijing from Jingzhou, so Wang Huai and Zhao Qian attach great importance to it. Li Kuan didn't need to worry about the things needed in the mansion. Wang Huai, Zhao Qian and others had arranged them properly.
In addition, Li Kuan also asked people with families to return to their hometowns to reunite with their families, and those without family members would stay in the house for the holidays. Xiao Qiushui and Xiao Yi had nowhere to go, and they were also left by Li Kuan, and even Hua Yuerong was invited to spend the festival in the palace.
Hua Yuerong originally wanted to refuse, she and Li Kuan were not relatives, so if it would be inconvenient to stay in the house for the holidays, Li Kuan didn't take it seriously, and Wu Jue persuaded him to stay. At this time, the shops in Chang'an City also closed and ceased to operate, welcoming the New Year happily.
"Xiao Shi, did you spend New Year's Eve this year at Uncle Wang’s or at my house?" Li Kuan looked at Li Shi and waited for her answer. After hesitating for a long time, Li Shi decided to spend New Year’s Eve in Jiangxia Palace. Li Kuan nodded and said nothing. , He also guessed that Li Shi might be the answer. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
After New Year’s Eve, Li Shi stayed in Chang'an City for only half a month. Li Daozong treated Li Shi like a daughter. How could Li Shi not know Li Daozong’s intentions? Treat Li Daozong like his father, thinking of marrying Li Shi away. The mood is reluctance and excitement, with mixed flavors.
"Second brother, I have something to tell you!" Li Kuan asked her to change her name to her second brother. The previous name was a bit awkward. Li Kuan waited for a long time and Li Shi hesitated, a little embarrassed to speak, Li Kuan smiled and said: " Xiaoshi, do you want to recognize Uncle Wang as your father?"
Suddenly, Li Shi opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Second brother, how are you..."
"Uncle Wang treats you well, it's normal to have this idea!" Li Kuan didn't explain how he guessed it. "If you really think so in your heart, then I will support you. I don't think Uncle Wang will refuse. Maybe Wang Uncle has been waiting for you to speak first!"
Li Shi had this idea because Li Daozong treated her really well, and the cost of eating and drinking was the best. Even Li Daozong’s children could not be compared. This made Li Shi see his father again in Li Daozong. Love is always by her side.
After pondering for a long time, Li Shi got up and left from the Chu Palace, and hurriedly walked towards the Jiangxia Palace. Wu Jue looked at Li Shi in a hurry, and asked Li Kuan a little strangely: "What's wrong with Xiao Shi? It's not you who scolded her, right?"
"Xiao Shi wants to recognize Uncle Wang as his father!" Li Kuan explained with a smile, and Wu Hui was pleasantly surprised: "That's a good thing!"
Li Kuan also thought it was a good thing. If Li Shi really recognized Li Daozong as his father, it would be her wish. At the same time, Jiangxia King Li Daozong is also the official envoy of the marrying guard group, and his daughter is escorted by the father's own festival. How can Li Daozong worry that Li Shi can also marry Tubo without any worries. Even if Li Shi recognizes Li Daozong as his father, this matter cannot be publicized, and even the genealogy cannot be modified.
If Li Daozong is the father of Li Shi, according to customs and rules, biological parents are not allowed to send off their relatives. If Li Daozong wanted to escort Li Shiyuan to the Tubo marriage, he would have to hide it from everyone and not publicize it, otherwise he would be replaced by someone else.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not post Spring Festival couplets during the festival, it was necessary to post peach charms. From house to house, peach charms were posted on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Basically, they chose to worship their ancestors on this day. Li Kuan and Qian Wu took Zhang Chong, Leng Feng, and Shi Rui to the mausoleum to pay tribute to the emperor Li Yuan.
Since Wu Hui's pregnant belly had already appeared, and it was somewhat taboo for pregnant people to worship their ancestors, Wu Hui stayed in the mansion and did not go anywhere. On the same day, Li Kuan and others returned from Xian Mausoleum, and sacrifices were also held in the imperial palace, but Li Kuan did not need to participate, and the participants were limited to the emperor and prince. The sacrifice process and etiquette were the responsibility of Taichang Temple.
Since the next day is New Year's Eve, this is a major holiday, so Li Kuan has made arrangements before then. In order to increase the atmosphere of the Fuzhong, the program was specially added as a small banquet performance site. The Yang family, Wu Sanmei and other women were the audience, and the servants of the Fuzhong also put down all chores to rest and watch the program.
Li Kuan ordered the mansion to gather up and down, requiring all the skilled workers to perform on stage. For this reason, a temporary performance stage was built in the southwest corner of the palace. The main reason was that the weather was cold and the performers had to be rebuilt around the block. Wind cloth, and piled up several fires like torch festivals.
The two women, Hua Yuerong and Xiao Qiushui, were arranged to perform double piano skills. The scores and music were determined by them; Zhang Chong, Shi Rui and other eight people performed martial arts with ten guards respectively; the servants in the Fuzhong were also arranged for drama. When he came to power, even Zhao Qian and Qian Wu never let go, and Li Kuan himself took the lead.
In order to encourage everyone to sign up for the event, Li Kuan even took out a hundred bucks from the warehouse as a reward for this event. In addition, he took out 100 altars of good home-brewed wines from the warehouse, and prepared hundreds of red envelopes. There was only a red note with the amount of money in the red envelopes. With this, you can go to the warehouse to withdraw the same amount of money. Everyone in the palace has a share, and they will never fail. In addition, they have prepared hundreds of copies when they leave the house when the time comes; and Li Kuan ordered people to make two new clothes for everyone as early as possible.
After Zhao Qian's statistics, there was more than 100 taels of gold, and Li Kuan didn't care about it. After all, these people have contributed to the harmony of the palace, and when they were almost executed last time, they felt that their behavior was worthy of Li Kuan's efforts.
Zhao Qian didn't feel sorry for the money, he was in charge of the money in the palace, and even he himself felt that the money was nothing. The problem is that if this matter is spread out, I am afraid that it will be suspected, especially if it is followed by the supervisory official.
Li Kuan smiled disapprovingly: "Lao Zhao, this is a matter for our palace, how can outsiders know how much money we spent?"
"There is no impermeable wall in the world!"
Zhao Qian’s earnest reminder, no matter how good the hiding is, there is no way to completely cover such a large expenditure. The main reason is that the money is more than many times the salary of a first-grade official in the dynasty. Moreover, Li Kuan is a fifth-grade doctor. At that time, there is really no way to explain how the money is explained.
If you add hundreds of altars of good wine, the money is far more than one hundred taels. Zhao Qian thinks about it and feels that his scalp is numb, and he knew that Li Kuan's temper should not be allowed to come. Li Kuan didn’t take it to heart. The next year is mainly about happiness, and other things will be discussed next year. After Wang Huai’s persuasion, Zhao Qian didn’t say too much, but he needed a hundred taels of gold to look at the Tang Dynasty. Really few people can match it. 噺⒏⑴The full text of the article is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/ (End of this chapter)
