Jianjia Chronicle

This is a rare good weather in January, and it has been snowing ahead.As noon approached, the warm sun became even warmer, as if spring was coming soon.The official road outside the capital was dusty, more than [-] riders and horses galloped, ten vigorous guards cleared the way, and a large group of servants behind them embraced a young boy with snowy muscles and red lips.

A servant who was close to the young man looked ahead from a distance, then galloped forward and said to the young man, "Da Lang, we will arrive at the capital in ten miles."

Bo Ran looked up at the sun, guessed the time, and raised his voice: "Hurry up, we can still catch lunch." Although the voice was immature, it was majestic, and none of the servants hesitated, agreed in unison, and immediately stepped on the whip .

Bo Ran left Beijing this time to go to Qianqiu Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital, where the emperor lived for summer, and his family also had a different business there.At Zhengdan, a heavy snow fell, which was very poetic and majestic. Min Jingyuan couldn't sit still. He insisted on going to Qianqiu Mountain to enjoy the snow, and he refused to let Min's son accompany him, because he felt uncomfortable with his love.As soon as I finished school, the roads were covered with ice, making it very slippery, and the mountains were covered with ice and snow. If one was not careful, he would freeze to death.No matter how unrestrained the Min family's children are, they dare not let their elders mess around, but when Min Jingyuan turned his temper, he refused if he said he would not.Now the Patriarch of the Min family can't do anything, so he had to send someone to invite the old man's disciple Bo Ranxiao.

Bo Ran is naturally obliged.The old man was very troublesome to persuade the juniors, and seeing that Bo Ran didn't bring his textbooks, he reluctantly agreed.

The old man admired the snow under the plum blossom, drank while listening to it, and was so carefree that he refused to come back.Bo Ran couldn't help it, tomorrow was the Shangyuan Festival, she promised Xie's Shangyuan Festival that she would accompany her to the Da Ci'en Temple to offer incense, so she had to come back first.

There is still a moment before lunch at the Hou Mansion.Chang Shi had already been waiting in front of the door when he got the news, and when he heard the sound of horseshoes at the entrance of the alley, he immediately ordered the servant beside him to come in and say that Da Lang had arrived at the door.

Bo Ran got off his horse and walked in, Chang Shi followed closely behind, and reported to her: "Your Majesty went to the government office and didn't come back until dinner. It's still in the first month, and many government offices haven't released their seals, so there's nothing wrong—— The only thing is that there was a letter from the frontier yesterday, General Longcheng said that there are King Zhao's troops in Longcheng, but they don't know what it is, and they are investigating. The king ordered him to ignore it for the time being, and keep an eye on it."

Longcheng General Bai Yifu is the nephew of Linzi Marquis Wufu Neidu clan. He has been in the town for two years. If it is not an important matter, he would never dare to write a letter carelessly. He must have smelled something bad.

Two years ago, in the 25th year of Tai'an, Empress Gu gave birth to the prince. The emperor did not discuss with any ministers. On the day of the full moon, he ordered the eldest son of the emperor to be the crown prince. After he was seated in the East Palace, the atmosphere in the court changed. It seems that they have been dormant for a whole winter, and suddenly they become noisy, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters come out.

Bo Ran finished listening without changing his face, Fang asked: "Did Dad arrive with a letter?"

"No."

Bai Yuan was kicked out of Beijing by Min Jingyuan and Linzihou after studying for a year before Min Jingyuan.It takes early time to become famous, Bai Yuan has lived up to expectations, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but as his fame rises, his celebrity style is getting bigger and bigger. He hasn't come back for the New Year, and he doesn't know where to live his free life.Now it seems that there is not even a letter.

At first, Bo Ran felt that it was embarrassing for him to take his father's place anyway. Later, seeing Bo Yuan was very happy after leaving Beijing, playing around, he didn't have any psychological burden at all, and silently blessed this death in his heart. Gay guys find happiness sooner rather than later.

"If there is a letter, please ask Chang Shi to let me know." Bo Ran was very filial.

Chang Shi should not mention it.

Mrs. Xie had already prepared meals and waited. As soon as Bo Ran arrived, she ordered the meal to be served.After dinner, Xie Shifang asked her how she was doing in the other business.Bo Ran returned with a smile, and said: "Er remembers that tomorrow will be a pilgrimage, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, so I hurried back at dawn today."

Don't look at this guy who has a family demeanor in front of outsiders, but he likes to talk sweet words in front of Mrs. Xie, and he is very eloquent. He has been like this since he was a child.

Xie smiled and said, "It's better to stay one more day and go to Xie's house for a walk the next day."

Just after Zhengdan, he was abducted by the old man, and he hadn't had time to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather's family.This is what it should mean, and Bai Ran smiled and agreed: "The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, covered with snow, and very impressive. It's just that it's boring after looking at it for a long time. I went hunting for some small things yesterday, and I packed them up and sent them to my grandpa." Have a drink."

"Let them do it." Xie said, thinking that the snow on the mountain hadn't melted, she ran to hunt, so she couldn't help but remind her: "The mountain road is rugged, snowy and slippery, what should I do if something happens? How can I not be able to bear the loneliness just because I am a little bored?"

Bo Ran thought in his heart, here he comes again.Her mother was not like this at first, she was so dusty, indifferent, and amazing when she saw her for the first time... Now she is more nagging.No matter what she thought in her heart, she always put on a modest face, and she was extremely obedient: "What A Niang said is true, I will remember it."

Mrs. Xie could see what she was thinking at a glance, and nodded her forehead angrily, and said: "Go, go, I will be upset if I see you in front of my eyes."

Bo Ran grinned and made a bow: "I'll be with Auntie after dinner."

Bo Ran is not completely idle, although she didn't bring her textbooks, there are books in Bieye's study. She has been reading Art of War since last year. No dead ends.The more I look at the art of war and know a little about military affairs, the more I feel that having military power is very important. Thinking about it, my family doesn't seem to have much foundation in the army.There is only one General Longcheng, but it is a pity that he is always guarding the border. There is no one with the surname Bai in the Jingzhong Yulin Army, Jinwuwei, and Longshuo Army.

Bo Ran wondered if he wanted to mention it to his elder father, since he didn't have any soldiers to mobilize, he lacked courage.Just thinking about it, I read the book for a while, and even asked people to go to the Min Mansion to say that the master is very good, don't worry.The Marquis of Linzi came back.

After he came back, he didn't say anything, and he said all the long history that he wanted to talk about. After meeting Bo Ran and seeing his grandson's still pink and cute appearance, Marquis Linzi sighed. I'm in a bad mood, but unfortunately age is a big hurdle.In another two years, when I was 12 years old, I had to find a family no matter what.

The more he looked at Bo Ran, the more the Marquis of Linzi felt that it was a pity to hide it at home, and he had to release it for everyone to see.Everyone knows that the descendants of the Marquis of Linzi were wise and ruthless early on, and had amazing skills that they could never forget, but because of their age, they hadn't really seen how powerful they were.The Marquis of Linzi is such a regret that there is a treasure in the family, but he can't share it with others.

He just wanted to have a chat with others, to see how well he taught, fully proving that Zi was not yet a talent, because he hadn't been trained and taught by him personally.

Cough, it's good to accumulate a lot of time, and then blind their eyes!Thinking about that scene, the Marquis of Linzi thought it was very beautiful. What else in this world is more worthy of joy than having a successor?

Marquis Linzi looked at Bo Ran's calm and stylish face, and said, "After your husband comes back, you can participate in the discussion." Doing the work of the prime minister's staff first is also an experience, and I can't do it for now. National civil servants should first practice their skills in their own companies.

Bo Ran bowed: "No."

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

The second day after I came back was the Lantern Festival.

Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty advocated Buddhism. He heard that on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, monks would observe Buddhist relics and light lamps to worship Buddha.

This custom gradually spread to the people, and it has become a festival since it was passed down.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, lanterns and festoons are everywhere, and the city is full of fire trees and silver flowers.Dongfeng puts flowers and trees at night, and blows them down. The stars are like rain, and the atmosphere is warm and prosperous.

Bo Ran got up early to serve Mrs. Xie and went to Da Ci'en Temple. The two of them finished offering incense and rested in the meditation room behind the temple. On the quiet path in the temple, they met Chen Xianzhi, the son of the Chen family who came with his mother to offer incense. The Chen family is also from a noble family. , Chen Xianzhi is the fourth son, and the first three elder brothers support him, so he is more relaxed and loves to play. Naturally, what he plays is jade, calligraphy and painting, and other high-grade things.

The aristocratic family has a circle, and they also communicate with nobles and nobles. The children of these families who are in power and some are officials will choose to become friends.Chen Xianzhi likes playing with Bo Ran the most, and Bo Ran has a good impression of him.When they met this time, after asking their respective mothers for permission, the two peers made an appointment to go to the street to watch the lights together at night.

After the younger generation finishes talking, it's the elder's turn.

Chen Xianzhi's mother is Xia Shi, she is a very miraculous woman, she likes to play tricks on juniors, when she saw Bo Ran, she stretched out her claws and brought him to her eyes, rubbing her cheeks and ears and said with a smile: "Small oil, I haven't seen you for a few months, Ah Ran is handsome again~~"

Bo Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, and cast a look at Xie for help, Xie stretched out his hand to bring her back, pushed Chen Xianzhi forward, and asked her to tease her son: "Si Lang has also changed."

A certain uncle of the Xie family married a certain aunt of the Xia family. The two of them could be considered relatives. They were called sisters, and the relationship was not bad.

Then it was time to look at the lights at night.

The grandeur of the aristocratic family travels, and the ostentation is very important, because the streets are crowded at night, and it is inconvenient to bring too many people, so the Hou Mansion only recruited a few clever servants and Bo Ran's personal servants to take them there.The family order also gave some instructions, you must look after the young master, if you lose a hair, you will look good!

Bo Ran didn't want to be like this, heck, because of her current height, a group of people surrounded her, which would greatly affect her sight, but if it wasn't like this, it would be difficult for her to get out of the Hou's house, so she had to get used to it slowly.

Chen Xianzhi's situation is similar.

After dinner, Chen Xianzhi was already waiting there when he arrived at the meeting place. When he saw Bo Ran approaching, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him, "Ah Ran."

At this time, the sky has darkened, and dim or red lanterns are lit on both sides of the street. Such a warm and soothing atmosphere makes people relax.Bo Ran looked at the gradually increasing number of pedestrians around, and with a relaxed and lazy look in his smile, he replied: "I'm late."

"It just so happens that the lights are already on." Chen Xian took a step forward and turned around, walking side by side with Bo Ran.

The people in ancient times were simple and honest, and the handicraft industry was developed to a certain extent. All the lanterns on the street were made by folding skeletons and pasting paper by hand.Bo Ran watched with great interest, and she also liked these cute little things.

After a while, she held a lifelike little rabbit lantern in her hand, and Chen Xianzhi also bought a moon lantern for the servants behind her to carry.

The two watched while walking slowly.When walking half a street, suddenly a anxious young boy appeared in front of him, and bumped into Bo Ran's body directly.
