After coaxing Ye Huaiyang to sleep, it was still early, Chu Jinglan came to the yard, the banquet was over, Ye Huailing and Pei Yuanshu set off fireworks in the open space and had a great time, Ye Huaixin sat on eight sides Looking at them in the pavilion, making a pot of tea and setting a pot of charcoal fire, it is also very comfortable.
Chu Jinglan lifted her robe and sat beside Ye Huaixin, poured herself a glass of Penglai Xianhao to drink, and before she even entered, she heard Ye Huaixin ask, "Brother-in-law, is my sister sleeping?"
"Sleep." He took a sip of tea and put the jade cup back on the marble table. "Is she always so bad at drinking?"
"It used to be much worse." Ye Huaixin couldn't help laughing when she remembered the funny things from the past, "Once when she was a child, she drank the aged wine at home by mistake, and she lost her head with just one sip, and somehow broke her father and sent her mother. Afterwards, when my eldest brother found out, he asked me to take her back to the room, took a sip of wine by himself, and then went to my father's place to apologize."
"and after?"
"Later, my eldest brother was severely scolded by my father, and went to the ancestral hall to be punished for kneeling. There is no way, my mother is my father's treasure, and my father has always been merciless when it comes to things involving her. Later, my sister woke up and didn't remember at all. What happened, I heard the servant said that the elder brother had been punished, so he quietly crawled into the ancestral hall in the middle of the night to give him food. But he said that in the ancestral hall, he was afraid that the elder brother would suffer alone, so he wanted to stay there with him, and then hugged the elder brother and refused to let go. The next day, when the mother went in, she saw her sleeping in the elder brother's clothes, sound asleep and drooling. It's all over the place."
Speaking of this, even Chu Jinglan couldn't hide his joyous expression, and his usually stern face looked extra soft in the shadow of the afterglow.
"How old was Yang at the time?"
"Only seven years old." Ye Huaixin showed a slight expression, showing a maturity that did not match her age, "Speaking of her stubborn temper, you can see the clue from that time, but the older she gets, the more introverted, we didn't see it. Come out, so in the heart of the eldest brother, she has always been the cute and caring baby sister, when she began to stir up the muddy water in the capital and insisted on marrying you, you can imagine how surprised and angry the eldest brother was."
A huge fireworks burst into layers suddenly, Chu Jinglan looked at the rotten gold and silver that shone in the sky, but did not answer.
Ye Huaixin added: "The eldest brother may be a bit ignorant and loyal, but there is a reason for it. He has been away for many years, and I don't know how many people Shangguzheng has killed today, and I don't know that the noble family has become an executioner in order to compete for fame and fortune. If I stayed in the center for a year and a half like I did, I’m afraid I would only sigh.”
Chu Jinglan turned his head to look at him, the halos in his eyes overlapped, implying insight, "Why, Zhongshu Province can't stay any longer?"
"I can't say that either, it's just..." Ye Huaixin raised the corners of his lips and showed a wry smile, "Take this new edict as an example, I really don't understand the situation of the roads."
"Tell me about it." Chu Jinglan raised his hand to take the jade cup, and fiddled with the lid slowly, as if he was ready for a long talk.
"The edict of the right to reclaim the salt and iron was drawn up by the teacher himself. After that, the courtyard was locked and the gate was closed. It was handed over to the imperial study room the next day. It stands to reason that no one other than him would know about it. Look at Wang Ying. I knew from Wang Jian's reaction at the banquet, but Xie Yuan was different. He made many small actions in private. Now it seems that all of them are to obtain the position of governor of Jiangnan for the Xie clan in the dynasty. It is inferred that it must be the teacher who made the move. The news was revealed to him."
As he spoke, his face darkened, and he seemed unable to believe that Yue Ting would get involved with the Xie family, let alone what he meant by doing so. Indifferently asked: "Do you think you are following the wrong teacher?"
"No, I won't make a rash judgment until I figure out the facts, I'm just a little confused..."
"This is the case with the court situation. There are many things that you can't understand, but first you have to understand what you want. If you want to fight against Yu Zheng, you must understand their interests. If you just want to Asking for orders for the people, it doesn’t really matter whether they give or receive privately, what matters is how to prevent this edict from reaching Jiangnan.”
The hot smoke gushing out of the jade cup floated in the air, covering half of Chu Jinglan's face, but the sharp words seemed to come through the clouds and mist, hitting Ye Huaixin's eardrums, making him suddenly awake.
"What's the use of asking for orders if the government is not reformed? I have escaped this time, and will make a comeback next time. Overturning it is the fundamental solution."
The corners of Chu Jinglan's mouth curved slightly, and said, "Then you don't have to care about what your teacher has done, you have been an official in the Zhongshu Province for over a year, and he has taught you everything you need to teach. Go your own way, if he gets in the way in the future, you might as well struggle to fight him."
"He is Jinshang's confidant, and he is bound to fight against me." Ye Huaixin muttered to himself, and then looked at Chu Jinglan, "Before I was expelled from Zhongshu Province like Yuan Shu, brother-in-law can Is there anything for me to do?"
"Just stay with me." Chu Jinglan glanced at him, and the smile on his lips deepened, "You know, my wife is as fierce as a tiger."
Ye Huaixin was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter.
At this time, there was a zero o'clock sound outside, and countless fireworks and firecrackers were released, resounding through the capital, and the late night wind was still strong, but it could not dispel the harmonious atmosphere in the Lan Wangfu, whether it was the dancing Ye Huailing It was Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaixin, who shared the candles in the eight-sided pavilion, or Ye Huaiyang, who was asleep. Tonight, they were all immersed in the warmth of a small home.
The cold winter is over, and the warmth of spring should not be far away, right
the next day.
When Ye Huaiyang woke up, Chu Jinglan was no longer around, and the earth dragon was still burning vigorously. She sat up straight for a long time, and suddenly felt something shaking around her neck. lights up.
"Crescent Moon."
Hearing Ye Huaiyang calling her, Crescent Moon, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurriedly came in with a water basin. After putting it down, she gave a New Year's greeting and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, miss, but are you going to get up?"
Ye Huaiyang nodded and asked again, "Where is the prince?"
"In the words of Miss Hui, the prince just practiced swords in the yard for a while, and then went to the study, and he hasn't come out yet."
"You haven't eaten yet?" Ye Huaiyang frowned slightly, and immediately went down to the ground barefoot, while holding her long hair like a waterfall and instructing, "Let the kitchen make some yam porridge, with golden silk shortbread and eight-treasure pickles, and then reheat it. Two glasses of milk, be quick."
Crescent Moon responded repeatedly, went out to send a message to the other maids, and came back to wash Ye Huaiyang.
At the beginning of the new year, Yiyan should not be a vegetarian. Crescent Moon specially chose a peach blossom cloud and mist Qianshui skirt for Ye Huaiyang to wear, and then matched it with suet hairpin and rose ruby earrings, which made the whole person look like a hibiscus. When it was time to put on makeup, the maid just came to report that the meal was ready, so she waved Crescent Moon's hand and hurriedly went out to the study.
Passing through the nine-curved corridor, the hem of the skirt was already stained with some morning dew, and the peach color was even more intense. She didn't care to look, she reached out and pushed open the door of the hollowed-out carved room. In the dazzling morning light, the handsome Ruyu's person was sitting in front of the case and writing a light book. He didn't raise his head when he heard the movement. He only said in a low voice, "Awake?"
"The town is all about these government affairs, and it doesn't stop on the first day of the new year."
Ye Huaiyang crawled into his arms with anger, and squeezed together with him on the Taishi chair. He wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes turned slightly, and met her eyes with a little bright light, and he couldn't help but reveal a few traces of it. joy.
"The news that Yanzhou just came, Zhenghe woke up."
"Really?" Ye Huaiyang also exclaimed excitedly, "This can really be called a New Year's gift!"
Seeing that she was even happier than himself, Chu Jinglan's eyes became darker and darker. Before he could say more, the maids filed in with breakfast, all of which Ye Huaiyang ordered just now, all using ice-patterned bowls. The dishes were packed and neatly stacked on the coffee table next to them.
"Since it's a happy event, you can't watch it with an empty stomach anymore. I let them cook some yam porridge that nourishes the stomach. Would you like to try it?"
She had asked Lu Heng before that Chu Jinglan used some tiger-wolf medicine to hurt her stomach when she was seriously injured six years ago, so she hasn't eaten much, but it's always not good, so she changed Fazi got some nutritious and appetizing food for him to eat, but he couldn't stop her from acting like a spoiled child, so he accepted it all. touch something.
Ye Huaiyang watched him eat, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, and then she bit a piece of shortbread, swallowed it, and said, "Are you replying to Zhenghe just now?"
Chu Jinglan nodded: "He has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he can't get out of bed for the time being. Previously, he personally supervised the food and salaries of the Shence Army, but now I am afraid that it will be delayed. I am going to transfer from another place and inform him in advance. ."
"That's a lot of money..." Ye Huaiyang unknowingly frowned and calculated to himself, "The Ye family still has some business in the North, if they can get rid of it as soon as possible, they should be able to pay for the first half of the year. of… "
Chu Jinglan chuckled and said, "You should keep the money for yourself."
"Hey, the lord has such a big tone. Could it be that he hid his private money behind this princess' back? Hurry up, don't kill me if you confess."
The slender jade hand pinched Chu Jinglan's earlobe, but started to rub it because of the rounded touch. Chu Jinglan pulled it down and held it in his palm, saying, "My father once gave me a gold mine."
There was a slight gasp from there: "Gold, gold mine?"
"Twelve of ten has just been mined, and there are still more." Chu Jinglan raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at her, "The concubine doesn't even know about this, this king has confessed everything, and I don't know if the concubine will pay her back. satisfy?"
The princess in charge of financial power nodded as if pecking rice, and said: "Well, satisfied, if the prince can clarify the location of the gold mine and the specific amount of the account, this princess will be even more satisfied."
"Why not? Ask the princess for help. All these things have to be taken out."
Ye Huaiyang suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Jinglan with a deep smile on his face, with golden light shining in his eyes.
He never let her get involved in these things. Today, he not only took the initiative to mention it, but also asked her to help. So, she has been gearing up for a long time and finally has a role to play
Ye Huaiyang couldn't hide her excitement, raised her chin and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Chu Jinglan pulled a handkerchief and wiped the milk from the corners of her mouth, lightly opened her thin lips and spit out two words: "Money."
