The emperor's heart alone

For the Xu family, Chinese New Year is not only about the celebration of the new year, but more about trivial matters such as preparing the gift list. Such tedious matters have always been taken care of by Xu Jia and other female relatives, in order to strengthen the relationship between the aristocratic families.At the same time, Xu Yunjin also had to draw up the gift list himself, and the giftees were not from the aristocratic families, but the gift list from Su Shao and others.

The difference this year is that he also prepared a separate copy for Yu Zhaoming.In terms of emotion and reason, as the person who will send Zhaoming to Su's residence, he can't forget that Yu Zhaoming is not during the Chinese New Year.

Since Yu Zhaoming entered the Su Mansion, he really forgot to sleep, eat, study and study every day. At first, he was a little embarrassed to go to the Xu Mansion to find Xu Yunting, but he was dragged by Xu Yunjin a few times, and he really admired Xu Yunting's knowledge. He, Yu Zhaoming also knew that he went to the Xu Mansion to find Xu Yunting.

Although Xu Yunjin doesn't like reading, he also knows that Yu Zhaoming's habit is very good.Many people who are sure to be able to win Jinshi are now busy with the Chinese New Year and don't put much thought into their studies. Xu Yunjin knows that there is a process in the accumulation of knowledge, and those who can persist are truly talented people. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhaoming's temperament actually won Xu Yunjin's deep approval.

Thinking that Yu Zhaoming only had himself to celebrate the New Year in the capital, there was no need for too many gifts, so he just picked some things to make up for his body and sent them to Yu Zhaoming, because it was Xu Yunjin who brought Zhaoming to the Su residence, in order to express his gratitude to the Su residence. In addition to the gift from Xu's house to Su's house and the gift from Xu Yunjin to Su Shao, Xu Yunjin also sent another gift to Su's house.

Because of this, Yu Zhaoming specially came to Xu's mansion to express his gratitude, Mingli didn't say anything, but Xu Yunjin sighed in his heart for Yu Zhaoming's tact and ability to behave.

Xu Tao and Xu Yunting are usually not in the mansion this month, Xu Yunting is better and can still come back at night, but it is already dark at night, how can anyone come to visit people in Xu's mansion at this time?Therefore, during the daytime, no one would come to visit Xu's residence. After all, most people knew that Xu Tao and Xu Yunting were not in the residence.

Therefore, when Xu Yunjin received a visit from someone, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. When he asked who it was, when he heard Xiang Yi's name, Xu Yunjin's eyes were filled with disdain: "Let him in."

Xiang Yi came with gift lists and gifts. Seeing Xiang Yi's unconcealed pride, Xu Yunjin couldn't help but feel a little impatient. The gift lists and gifts of their families should all be in charge of the heads of the various houses. How can there be any house? Did the master send it by himself?

Xu Yunjin's face was not good-looking, but Xiang Yi took it as a sign of discomfort, and didn't feel that it was because of himself that Xu Yunjin was in a bad mood.After Xiang Yi and Xu Yunjin met each other, Xiang Yi found a seat and sat down.

Xu Yunjin coughed twice, and said to Xiang Yi without any false words: "I remember that the examination will be held soon after the year. Why are you not in a hurry to see you? You even do things like gift giving yourself."

Xiang Yi chuckled twice, but didn't hear Xu Yunjin's sarcasm. He didn't know that everyone in the Xu family knew about the scandal he committed back then. Now that Xu Yunqin is his wife, she often walks around, so that the people in the Xu family can have a good impression of him.

Xiang Yi was severely scolded by Xiang Yiping when the incident of secretly hiding the maid outside the mansion was exposed. He just watched the year approaching and next year's examination, Xiang Yiping did not punish Xiang Yi with family law, but let Xiang Yiping Yi sent the maid away.Xiang Yi did as Xiang Yiping said, without feeling any reluctance at all.

To Xiang Yi, that maid is nothing, she is just a proof of Xiang Yi's lust and breaking the family rules, and this is a kind of stain on Xiang Yi, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with letting him deal with Xiang Yi, On the contrary, if this maid has not been discovered, he doesn't mind raising it until she gets tired of it. If she is discovered, he will naturally know what to do is better for him.

However, what Xiang Yiping didn't know was that he just asked Xiang Yi to send the girl away, but Xiang Yi dealt with her directly because of the girl's troublesome troubles.

Xiang Yiping didn't know, but Su Shao, Xu Yunjin and others who were paying attention to Xiang Yi all the time knew it. Xu Yunjin didn't want to blackmail Xiang Yi because of this. If Xiang Yi retreated despite difficulties, he would naturally not say anything. , but if Xiang Yifei kept pestering Xu Yunqin, Xu Yunjin would have no medicine to be polite to him.

Fortunately, when he came here today, Xiang Yi didn't mention Xu Yunqin, but made Xu Yunjin feel a little more at ease.

Sending Xiang Yi out of the house, Xu Yunjin rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Winter has already arrived, and Xu Yunjin wears a thick fur coat every time he goes out, and his favorite is the fiery red fox fur coat, which makes people feel warm to the touch.

There are only three days left before Chinese New Year.Xu Yunjin left the Xu Mansion wearing that fiery red overcoat early that day.Today is a very important day for Xu Yunjin and the people in the shop below.Xu Yunjin is doing it to win people's hearts, and the people in the shop are doing it because they have money.

Dongliyuan and Wumingzhai under Xu Yunjin's name are not Xu Yunjin's property in the eyes of outsiders, and Xu Yunjin will not go to these two places today, and only sent Wang Er there.Therefore, Xu Yunjin didn't have many places to go, but there were two grain shops and Donglaiju, and because he was going to treat guests at Donglaiju that night, Xu Yunjin went to the grain shop first, and finally went to Donglaiju.

Donglaiju never opened the door on this day, only those who work under Xu Yunjin can enter Donglaiju for dinner today.

At dusk, the people who were full of wine and food walked out of Donglaiju with satisfied smiles, chatting and laughing, and when the crowd dispersed, Xu Yunjin, who was blushing, came out of Donglaiju, accompanied by Qingpei and Sandalwood, Qingpei ordered Tan Xiang to call for a carriage, but was stopped by Xu Yunjin: "This is not far from Xu's residence, just walk back."

Qingpei and Tanxiang had no choice but to follow behind Xu Yunjin, always paying attention to Xu Yunjin's movements, for fear that Xu Yunjin would fall if he didn't pay attention.

Xu Yunjin is still at the stage where he can't drink alcohol, but it's just that he has to drink some alcohol on this occasion.In front of Su Shaoshi, Junji and others, Xu Yunjin doesn't need to drink. On the one hand, he is his real friend, and on the other hand, he is the person he likes. No matter which side he is, there is no need to do false things. On the contrary, he is able to do it in front of these people. Really carefree, and these guys don't ignore his body to make him do things he can't do.Xu Yunjin didn't drink much, but it might be because he hasn't had any alcohol these days, even though he drank less, Xu Yunjin was still a little overwhelmed.

The imperial court has already started a holiday.The Daping Dynasty had a lot of holidays. Taking the Chinese New Year as an example, the imperial court had already started a vacation three days before the Chinese New Year. Unless there was an important matter, the vacation would not be disturbed.The seven-day holiday after the new year, that is to say, there are at least ten days of holiday every year. If there are any happy events, such as the birth of the prince, the birthday of the empress dowager or the emperor, the victory of the war, etc., the court will take a few more days off. If it hits the fifteenth day again, that's great, let's go straight to the vacation. Basically, only the last few days of the first month need to go to court.

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is already very strong. Children in new clothes can be seen chasing and playing all over the street. The vendors on the street also have joy on their faces. Presumably, the Chinese New Year has also made them a lot of money. , You can go home and have a good year.Some shops have already begun to close their doors, and the impatient actions express their joy of wanting to go home as soon as possible for the New Year.

The Xu Mansion of Xu Yunjin's family is the alley where important officials in the capital live. Compared with the bustling and lively streets where Donglai's residence is not far away, this place is very deserted. However, even so, the faces of the masters or servants who come and go It can also be seen that the New Year is festive. Walking all the way back to Xu's Mansion, they met people they knew. Both parties paid New Year's greetings to each other. The joy radiating from the bones infected the entire capital.

Not long after, Xu Yunjin returned to the Xu Mansion, squinted his eyes and looked up at the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the plaque of the Xu Mansion for a while, muttered "cheesy" in a low voice, and then walked into the Xu Mansion.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the servant standing by: "Second young master, the master and the eldest son want you to go to the study when you come back."

Xu Yunjin's mind turned a little slowly, and he said "oh" after a long while, and walked towards the study room. After walking a few steps, Xu Yunjin stopped again: "Tanxiang, go and order a bowl of ginger soup."

Sandalwood was gone, only Qingpei was left behind Xu Yunjin, walking forward, Xu Yunjin turned his head and frowned and asked, "Where did Qinghuan go?"

"Qinghuan has gone home."

Xu Yunjin slapped his forehead, yes, it seems that Qinghuan asked him for leave yesterday.Qinghuan is different from Qingpei, Qingpei was sent by Su Shao after training, but Qinghuan was sold to Xu's mansion, Qinghuan's family members are still alive, every year Qinghuan asks for a holiday to go home , Xu Yunjin never stopped him.

Thinking about it, Xu Yunjin had already reached the door of the study, and he pushed the door open without knocking, and Xu Tao and Xu Yunting, who were sitting in the study, turned their heads to look at the door at the same time.

Xu Tao frowned: "It's not big or small!" Xu Tao also seemed to know that it's better to scold Xu Yunjin less when the Chinese New Year is approaching, but Xu Tao's scolding on weekdays is nothing to Xu Yunjin, let alone the current situation , asked directly: "Why did you call me here?"

While talking, he took off the coat on his back and threw it to Qingpei. Qingpei went out with the coat in his arms, and Xu Yunjin found a seat and sat down directly.

Xu Tao's brows were still frowning, he didn't speak, he just glanced back and forth at Xu Yunjin, as if he was thinking about whether Xu Yunjin's behavior was appropriate, Xu Yunjin was a little scared: "Father, what are you doing looking at me like that?"

Xu Yunting covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Yun Jin, it's like this." He added, "As a rule, every year on the night of Chinese New Year, the ministers of the court and the central government will enter the palace to participate in the palace dinner, and the family members will stay in the palace. At home, this is nothing, what year is it not like this? It’s just that this year the emperor said that the New Year’s party should be reunited, how can there be a reason to celebrate the New Year in two places? It’s just that there is a severe drought in the northwest this year. All officials are allowed to enter the palace, but this year it is not possible, only officials of the third rank and above of Zhongzheng in the capital are allowed to bring their family members into the palace, first to save the low-ranking officials from feeling uncomfortable, and second, to allow everyone to have a reunion year."
