After waking up, Qi Huai was teased by the eldest princess. He is indifferent, but in front of his mother, he is willing to dress up and entertain his relatives. , and soon gave birth to a child for her to play with, making the eldest princess laugh endlessly.

In fact, Qi Huai said this kind of thing every year, and the eldest princess never wrote back, she just knew that he was trying to make her happy.

But this time, because of the Spring Festival couplets, the eldest princess finally felt that something should happen.

After eating breakfast, the mother and son put on their big dresses, the eldest princess rode in a carriage, and Qi Huai rode a horse, and went to the palace together.

Halfway through the walk, Cheng Qu approached Qi Huai casually, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, someone is following you, look at your skills, it was sent by him."

Qi Huai smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"I don't know what to do again, my subordinates have ordered people to prepare, don't worry."

"That's only if he still has time to worry about these things."

The personal guards around Qi Huai have passed through Ming Road, everyone knows that his hidden guards are actually divided into two groups.One group was given by the emperor since he was a child, and the other group, only he, his father, master, and senior brothers knew that it was a dead man prepared by his father before his birth, and even his mother didn't know.

The only ones he regarded as his confidantes were the hidden guards given by his father and his own personal guards. The ones given by the emperor were just for fun, and they would show some rumors from time to time, purely to tease the emperor.

These people performed their duties, Cheng Qu and the others didn't know what the secret guards were really doing, including many things that Xu Yan helped him with.

It's not a matter of trust or disbelief, to put it in the simplest of slang terms, it's always better not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Seeing that their master was smiling calmly, Cheng Qu knew that he was worrying about himself, so he felt relieved, and the group continued to go to the palace.

Qi Zhinian was woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the morning.

People who usually live in British government houses and deep houses, how can they hear these things? When they were woken up, Qi Zhinian still felt that it was very fresh. Before it was fresh enough, the door of the house was knocked, and Mother Fan hurried to open the door, and a group of people rushed in. All the children lived in the alley, all of them wore new clothes, with red dots on their foreheads, they joined hands to say goodbye, and said a bunch of auspicious words, very cute.

Mother Fan beamed, and immediately grabbed candies for them. After all, the habit has not been completely changed, and they are all ordinary people. Which family gives candies like this?

Knowing that this store has a lot of candy, this early in the morning, the New Year's greetings have not stopped, and all the children from the nearby alleys have flocked here.

Mammy Fan also realized this problem later, and wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Qi Zhinian: "Just give it, mammy, we can still afford this idea of ​​candy, I'm happy to see it, and it's time to celebrate the New Year."

Really happy, I've never seen anything like this before.

Seeing Qi Zhinian was really happy, and thinking of adding joy to the family, Mother Fan opened the door of the house again.

Qi Zhinian also went to a few nearby neighbors' homes to pay New Year's greetings, but he didn't go any farther away. Mother Fan was outside to entertain guests. He came back to pay New Year's greetings and sat by the bed with his mother, thinking about the next Livelihood issues.

They currently have 500 taels of silver, which seems to be a lot, but in fact it is only enough for my mother to take medicine and ginseng for half a year.

Half a year later, my mother should be able to take care of her body better. When they leave the capital, they will always have to buy land and land, and he will also need to find a job. It is best to open a shop, all of which need money.

The Spring Festival couplet business is impossible. I wonder if there is any other way to make a lot of money?

He has too little life experience, so he really can't think of it for a while, but Lin Xiuxiu invited him to go to the lantern festival with their mother and daughter at night during the New Year's greetings in the morning, and he has already accepted.

According to the law, there is no curfew nowadays, but the shops in the city are closed on time at Haishi. Every year, only during Chinese New Year and the emperor's birthday, the shops can stay open all night.

During the Chinese New Year, Kyoto is especially lively. The lantern festival will be open from the beginning of the new year to the night of the Yuan Dynasty. The palace will also give palace lanterns to enjoy the people. Sometimes the emperor will come to watch in front of the Xuande Tower. It is said that this year the emperor will dear.

Qi Zhi has never been to a folk lantern festival when he is so old. He goes to the palace with the eldest princess every year. The most beautiful and exquisite lanterns are all in the palace. After seeing it, it seems that there is no need to come out to see it.

Moreover, he has always been well-behaved and quiet, and there are many people at the lantern festival, so he would rather study at home.

He is not a pleasure-loving person.

He was invited by the widow Lin's mother and daughter. First, he felt that he was a man who could protect the two neighbors who cared for him. Second, he wanted to make some money during the Chinese New Year. He could write and draw, maybe Can you make some lanterns and write some lantern riddles to guess?Chinese New Year is a good time to make money, everything should be sold at least double or triple the price, of course he can't miss it.

At present, he doesn't know anything about it, so tonight he will take it as a way to explore, let's take a look first.

Didn't buy any new clothes for mother and grandma yesterday, seeing that it was noon and there were fewer people coming to pay New Year's greetings, Grandma Fan closed the door again, Qi Zhinian was about to go to a tailor shop to buy clothes, when someone knocked on the door again .

Nanny Fan was making medicine for Jiang Qiniang, and Qi Zhinian ran out to open the door, thinking it was another New Year's call.

As soon as the door opened, there were two young ladies standing outside.

"Xiao Langjun!" The two of them said in unison, and tears flowed out instantly.

Qi Zhinian was so happy that he went silly: "You, why are you here?" Having said this, his face changed again, "Hurry up, I won't keep you, just meet once, I'm fine, you guys go, don't Found!"

He stretched out his hand to close the door, but Xiaoya supported the door with her hand, crying so hard that she couldn't speak, Xiao Song sniffled, tried to put on a smile, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lang, you forgot, today is the first day of the new year." , the Duke and the eldest princess have both entered the palace, and they will return home at night."

Qi Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, but still chased them away: "It's not good after all, you guys better go, I'm really doing well, don't worry."

Xiaoya cried: "What's the matter, the flesh on the face is gone, the complexion is bad, the hair is messed up, oh... the clothes are all torn!! When did Mr. Xiaolang suffer so much! woo woo woo..."

Qi Zhinian didn't feel bitter, but she was so worried about herself and cried like this, which made Qi Zhinian feel distressed, and he also felt a little at a loss.Xiaoya Xiaosong is his personal maid, she came to him when she was seven or eight years old, it can be said that she grew up together.

Xiao Song pulled Xiaoya: "Don't cry! If you cry again, I won't bring you here again!"

How can there be a next time?

Qi Zhinian was still waiting to talk, Xiao Song said: "Young Lord, don't worry, Nanny Ji knows about this, we sisters will never be discovered, just let us in..."

After all, Qi Zhinian couldn't bear it and brought them into the house.

Seeing the room they live in now, Xiaoya cried again.Mother Fan was also very touched when she knew that the two of them were here. Fortunately, it was Chinese New Year, and the family had prepared some food, so she immediately brought them two bowls of hot sweet soup.

Both girls thanked sweetly.

Even though he could come out secretly, he couldn't stay for too long. Xiaoya stared at Qi Zhinian without blinking. He said: "Here is 1000 taels of silver. Our sisters didn't collect it together. How could we collect so much? Do you remember the new garden built by Li Shilang's house?"

Qi Zhinian remembered that this Li Shilang was the same year as his husband. Li Shilang was proficient in human affairs and sophistication and rose through the ranks. His husband stayed in the Imperial Academy all his life, but this did not prevent the two from becoming close friends.Li Shilang set up a new garden, so he naturally invited his husband to have a look, and he, a student, was also taken there.

At that time, there were a few courtyards that had not yet been named, and the husband took a few. Qi Zhinian thought it was fun and took two. Later, one of them was actually used, and the plaque was also written by Qi Zhinian himself. Li Shilang also said You need to pay a running fee.

Of course Qi Zhinian refused, but whether he wanted it or not, he had to give it, otherwise Yu Li would not get along, Qi Zhinian didn't take it easy.

Xiao Song nodded: "They took it for rubbings, and they already used it. This is the retouching fee. Mr. Hu gave it to Nanny Ji, and Nanny Ji asked us to bring it to you."

It seems that Qi Zhinian deserves it, but Qi Zhinian doesn't want it, even though he is in urgent need of money now.

If he wasn't Qi Zhinian from the British government, would Li Shilang really use those words?After all, it was inseparable from the British government, he didn't want to make them look down on them, they were already very sorry for the eldest princess and Qi Huai, how could they ask for this money.

Xiao Song was anxious, afraid that Qi Zhinian would find out his flaws.

Because they were indeed lying... With Qi Zhinian's current situation, who would dare to have anything to do with him?How can there be any bonus fee?

Before this incident, Qi Zhinian himself was actually a little rich man, it was his fault, the eldest princess never lacked him, even the rewards from the palace did not lack his share, he didn't care about himself, everything was piled up in the treasury Now, there are several warehouses piled up.

There are more than 1 taels of cash in the house. Only their personal maids and Mother Ji know the exact amount of this money.

These days, they were very worried, but later, Nanny Ji made the decision, took out 1000 taels, and specially picked this day to order them to send it.Nanny Ji didn't even dare, it was Aunt Lin who made it clear that she seemed to know where Qi Zhinian and the others lived.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Mammy Ji went to get close. Aunt Lin actually gave her the address, but she also made it clear that it would be okay for them to send small things. If they go there all day long and attract people's attention, it will not work. Mammy Ji was overjoyed , that's enough!

Now they were completely relieved. Obviously, Her Highness the Eldest Princess had calmed down, and she no longer cared about this matter. Just don't go too far on the surface.

In order to get Qi Zhinian to accept the money, they made up such a lie.

1000 taels is enough for them to buy a three-entry house and some land, and they can live on, and they will give the rest slowly and secretly.

But Qi Zhinian was desperately unwilling to take it. Mother Fan felt sorry for him these days and persuaded him to accept the 1000 taels, but he didn't want it either.

Xiao Song also cried in a hurry, how good is this?

Look at what Qi Zhinian is wearing, with so many patches, the cotton wool is floating out, his face is so thin that his chin is pointed out, it's only been more than half a month, how can people feel at ease?

The room was very quiet for a while, except for the crying of the two girls, Mother Fan sighed and comforted them.

Qi Zhinian was also having a hard time, took a deep breath, and was about to change the subject, asking how he knew where they lived, when someone knocked on the door again.

"I'm afraid it's another child who came to pay New Year's greetings." Mother Fan looked up.

"I'll go and see, Mammy, please persuade the two sisters."

Qi Zhinian grabbed two handfuls of candies and planned to send them away at the door, after all, the family is not good at hospitality.

He pulled the door latch, pretending to be a child, without raising his head, he said: "Here are the candies, I wish—"

He froze and looked up.

The man was wearing a golden crown and a large black fur cape, standing in front of the door and smiling at him.

Who else is it not Qi Huai?

Seeing the candy in his hand, Qi Huai smiled and said, "Candy, for me?"

The author has something to say:

Lin Xiuxiu passed by with soy sauce: You agreed not to come again?
