As the New Year approached, the capital was even more lively.There are bustling crowds everywhere.

Yinxiang and Yinzhen rode their horses together and walked on the street, hurrying along the way, but luckily they came back on New Year's Eve.

Originally, after bidding farewell to Daiyu that day, Yinxiang and Yinzhen decided to go by water, at least it would be easier for them.But the speed of the Naihe waterway is really slow, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get back before New Year's Eve.After walking on the water for two days, they came to a small ferry at random, and the two got off the boat, went to the market, bought some dry food and two fast horses with strong gaits, and rode all the way north. overland.

It was so easy to arrive in the capital the day before New Year's Eve, when it was gradually getting dark.Yinzhen said: "It seems that we won't be able to go back tonight. Let's just find an inn in this city and stay at random, and we'll go back early tomorrow morning."

Yinxiang looked up at the snowy sky, and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll rest in this city tonight, so I can go back tomorrow."

While speaking, he had already walked in front of an inn, and a hospitable waiter came up to greet him, "Two guest officials, please, do you want to be a top or stay at the inn?"

Yinxiang and Yinzhen got off their horses, and another junior came up to lead the horses, Yinxiang said: "Is there still a room?"

Xiaoer hurriedly laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I wonder how many rooms the two guest officers want?"

Yinzhen said: "I want two upper rooms, and then prepare a few side dishes and deliver them earlier."

The little errand turned back and led Yinxiang Yinzhen upstairs, "That's it, the two guests share one room, and the younger one will step back. If you have any orders, just call the younger one."

Yinxiang nodded to signal, and the little girl backed away.

Yinzhen pushed open the door of a room casually, and saw that the inside was spacious and clean, and quite elegant.Yinzhen casually lay down on the big carved bed, and sighed with satisfaction, "Fortunately, I arrived. I'm exhausted from this journey!"

Yinxiang laughed, "I can't take it anymore? You don't even take off your boots!"

Yinzhen smiled and said: "What's the matter, and there are no outsiders here."

Yinxiang sat down casually, glanced at Yinzhen, "I understand what you mean, you will pay attention to your words and deeds if there are outsiders around?"

Yinzhen smiled and sat up, "You can't say that, brother Thirteen, I usually pay attention to it, okay? It's just because I'm too tired after driving for so long."

Yinxiang ignored his sophistry, "If Zi Yan was here, you might pay more attention."

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, he hurried all the way, and there was no time to rest, which made his longing for Ziyan dilute a bit.But every time I get free, I will think of it unconsciously in my mind.Listening to what Yinxiang said now, the tide of longing is overwhelming.

"If she was here," Yinzhen smiled bitterly, "If she were here, maybe she would quarrel with me. How can I have any image?"

Yinxiang saw that his face was a little awkward, so he couldn't help but put away his joking thoughts, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you have to have confidence. Isn't there a saying called 'hard work never fails'? Sincerely , Gold and stone are the same. Believe me, one day Zi Yan will finally be moved by you."

Yinzhen was a little dejected, lowered his head, and murmured: "Is there really such a day, I am really discouraged now, am I that bad in front of her?"

Yinxiang was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Yinxiang stood up, opened the door and saw that it was the waiter of the shop.

The waiter came in with a tray, "You two guests, your meals are here for you. Please take your time."

The waiter put the cups, saucers and chopsticks away, and then left.

Yinxiang closed the door and walked to the dining table, "Don't be downcast, come and eat quickly, you've been tired all day."

Yinxiang poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, "You are not bad, you two have similar temperaments and are both awkward. But as long as one of you puts down a little bit, these problems will be solved. Many things The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, so I can see clearly. As long as you touch her with your heart, you will be happy together."

Yinzhen has been able to listen to Yinxiang's words since he was a child. After hearing Yinxiang's words, his brows that had been locked for several days finally opened, "I know."

Yinxiang nodded with a smile, "Then eat quickly, have a good rest later, and get up early tomorrow."

Yinzhen suddenly remembered something and raised his head and said: "Then when you return to Beijing this time, have you thought about how to deal with Huang Ama?"

Yinxiang paused holding the chopsticks, and said seriously: "What else can I do, it's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil. I will go to the fourth brother's mansion tomorrow morning to see how much he knows, and if he knows more It's better than knowing nothing."

Yinzhen bowed his head and ate without saying a word. Yinxiang has always been more resourceful than him, and he can't seem to help him.I have no choice but to go to the palace tomorrow to see it.

After eating, Xiao Er brought up the bath water.The two rested after washing.

A night without words.

In the early morning of the second day, Yinxiang checked out of the room, and rode with Yinzhen towards Yinzhen's mansion.

Just when he was about to knock on the door, he saw the door opened from the inside, and Yinzhen and Yinhu were preparing to come out together, looking like they were going somewhere.

Yinxiang and Yinzhen rushed forward to meet him, "Fourth brother, starling."

Yinzhen and Yinhu looked at Yinxiang Yinzhen who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Yinzhen still had that cold expression, and his voice was cold, "Thirteenth brother, fourteenth brother."

Still Yinhu laughed behind him and said, "Where has Thirteenth Brother been all this time? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yinxiang called "myna".Then he smiled and said: "I have some things to do during this time, I went to Yangzhou for a trip. I just came back today."

Yinzhen nodded and said: "If there is anything to come in first, let's talk about it."

Yinxiang nodded, handed the horse over to the servant in the mansion, and entered the gate with Yinzhen Yinhu Yinzhen.

Pass through the long hallway and enter Yinzhen's study.After several people sat down, Yinxiang and Yinzhen looked at each other, they were about to speak, and they didn't want Yinzhen to speak.

"I know what you're going to ask, so I'll explain it to you now. When I went to Erniang Palace that day, I saw Huang Ama was there too."

After hearing Yinzhen's words, Yinxiang nodded and said, "Did Huang Ama say something?"

"That's right. Huang Ama was talking about your marriage with Er Niang. She said that when I was your age, I was already married."

Yinxiang was silent, such things can be guessed, when Yinzhen was his age, not to mention married, even how old the child was.No wonder Huang Ama thought so.

However, since I have promised Daiyu in this life, I will not let her down no matter what.Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will wade through them firmly.

Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen and Yinhu, and said seriously: "Fourth brother, starling, I don't need to hide it from you. I went to Yangzhou this time to ask for relatives."

Yinzhen nodded and said nothing, but Yinhu looked surprised and couldn't help asking: "Going to ask for a marriage? I never knew when you had someone you love."

Speaking of Daiyu, Yinxiang couldn't help but frowned, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, but I just thought that the matter has not yet settled, so I haven't told you yet."

Yinhu suddenly realized, "It turns out that's the case, and you are too calm. I don't know which girl is it, but it is the thirteenth elder brother who we have always had our eyes on the top and is so handsome?"

Yinxiang couldn't help being a little embarrassed by Yinhu's words, and Yinzhen's eyes were even bigger than eggs.No way, this man who looks a little shy now because he is immersed in happiness is his thirteenth brother who has always been calm and calm before the landslide?

Yinxiang smiled and said: "It is the daughter of Master Lin, the senior official of Lantai Temple, and the granddaughter of Duke Rong. It is called Daiyu."

Yinhu nodded, and was about to ask something, when Yinzhen at the side interrupted, "It's the young master we met in Yuxiang Tower last time."

Yinhu was a little confused, and couldn't remember what the young master he met in Yuxiang Tower that day looked like, "That young master is actually..."

Yinzhen nodded, with a rare smile on his face, "Didn't you see that young master is a woman disguised as a man?"

Yinhu had an expression of enlightenment on his face, and now he remembered, "I just said, the other day, when I saw that young man was even more beautiful than a woman, I was still thinking, so there really are such people in this world, I just didn't expect to go there." Then he turned his head and glanced at Yinxiang, and smiled at Yinzhen: "Look at Miss Lin, who is like a fairy daughter, she is indeed worthy of our thirteenth elder brother with fairy-like character. .”

Yinzhen hurriedly interjected: "That's right, fourth brother and eighth brother, you haven't seen Thirteenth brother and Miss Lin standing together, they are really a couple of gods. I am not like you who read a lot, and I don't know How to describe it, anyway, I think it's a perfect match."

Yinzhen also smiled, "It's really good."

After talking for a while, Yinzhen and Yinhu had to go out because they had something to do, Yinxiang and Yinzhen didn't stay longer, and went back after sitting for a while.

====================================================================== ================

On New Year's Eve, it was snowing all over the sky.

Emperor Kangxi set up a family banquet in Qianqing Palace.The concubines and concubines from all the palaces and princes gathered together. When it was very lively and the wine was hot, there were several octagonal bright lanterns under the eaves of the corridor, shining like snow, and red, orange, yellow and green fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating half of the sky.The lights are as bright as day, and the trees and silver flowers are dazzled.What's more, the house is full of fragrant clothes and shadows, gold crowns and silver ornaments.The pearl phoenix hairpin is slanted horizontally, the emerald jade belt is dazzling, and even the vermilion kodan smeared on the fingertips is faintly glowing.

Emperor Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood today, and he was always smiling and talking to the concubine next to him.

When Yinxiang arrived, the elder brother Yinti, the prince Yinreng, the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, the sixth elder brother Yinzuo, the seventh elder brother Yinyou, and the eighth elder brother Yinhu , Nine Elder Brother Yinzhen, Ten Elder Brother Yinzhen, Twelve Elder Brother Yinxuan, Fourteen Elder Brother Yinzhen, etc. have all arrived.

Seeing that he was late, Kangxi just glanced at him and said nothing.Just nod for him to sit down.

A concubine next to Kangxi covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Elder Brother Thirteen is the most free and unrestrained. It is rare to see Elder Brother Thirteen in the palace."

Kangxi nodded and remained silent.

The bottom ten elder brothers also booed from the side: "Yeah, Thirteenth Brother is the most chic. Speaking of which, when I was Thirteenth Brother's age, I already had Fujin..."

The fourteenth elder brother kept giving him winks, and the tenth elder brother was very surprised, and quietly leaned into Yinzhen's ear: "fourteenth brother, why do you keep giving me winks?"

While paying attention to Kangxi's face, Yinzhen replied: "I can't tell you for a while now, anyway, you listen to me, if you don't want Brother Thirteen to blame you in the future, you just need to talk less."

Brother Ten didn't know what happened, but seeing Yinzhen's serious expression, he nodded and stopped talking.

Kangxi nodded, looked at Yinxiang and said, "Yin is right, Shisan is now old..."

The concubine next to her quickly smiled and said: "I heard that the daughter of Shang Shu, Zhao Jia, is now sixteen years old, and she is the most gentle and virtuous, elegant and refined. Look at me, she is the best match for Elder Brother Thirteen."

Kangxi nodded and said: "I didn't know that Malhan still has such a good daughter? Shisan really should be settled."

The concubine at the side hurriedly smiled and said: "The emperor will facilitate this good marriage during this New Year's Eve."
