On the last day of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Kuan did not leave the house.

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, it was very lively.

Peng Hansheng washed up early and changed into brand new clothes.

Today's weather was clear, and Li Kuan simply asked Laifu to arrange the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the empty courtyard, and thousands of people in the entire royal mansion all gathered together to feel this happy day.

"Li Lian, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has agreed that the sulforaphane you cultivated in the greenhouse will be used as seeds, and this new variety will be promoted on a large scale next year."

When Peng Hansheng came to the courtyard, it was already crowded.

Naturally, he stood beside Li Lian, who was also born as a eunuch of Taiji Palace.

When the two of them cleared out of the palace as redundant personnel, they were full of hesitation about the future.

Don't look at them when they are on duty in the palace, the noble people in Chang'an City seem to look down on them.

In fact, what do you think of eunuchs, they have a clear heart.

However, after arriving at the Chu Palace, the days were completely different from what they imagined.

"His Royal Highness the King of Tuochu, this Laihua is finally white and big, and one weighs four or five catties. It's really a big change from the original fist-sized appearance. The people of Chang'an City will not only be able to eat Chinese cabbage but also laiphane in winter in the future. ”

Li Lian is also quite satisfied with his cultivation results.

Of course, this is also in front of Peng Hansheng, he will show his emotions so unabashedly.

"Lin Sheng is also here. It just so happens that one of you is responsible for the hatching of duck eggs, and the other is responsible for the cultivation of greenhouse crops, so you can just exchange your harvest. ”

Just as Peng Hansheng was talking to Li Lian, Lin Sheng also walked over.

The three of them are the best among the eunuchs.

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, they all have their own separate rooms, so they don't have to crowd together with some subordinates.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked people to prepare a lot of Wuliangye and burning knives tonight, and the two pots are enough. We'll have a few drinks in a minute. ”

Lin Sheng also had a smile on his face, and looked at Peng Hansheng and Li Lian with emotion.

"Master, so you're here, I'm really looking for you everywhere."

Peng Enzhong popped up next to him and joined the chat team of Peng Hansheng and others.

"Pengen, I heard that you are now the sitting hall of the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy Medical College, congratulations."

"Yes, I didn't expect Hansheng's craftsmanship to be inherited in such a way."

Seeing Peng En, Li Lian and Lin Sheng felt that Peng Hansheng was the real winner among the three.

Peng En's parents died early, and he basically treated Peng Hansheng, the master, as a parent.

Of course, Peng Hansheng taught his own skills, and he didn't hide his selfishness at all.

Therefore, Peng En can be reused in front of Lin Ran.

"Li Lian, you don't have to be envious, didn't Xu join the army say that from next year, let you also take the time to go to the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy to teach the students? Those are the pride of the sky, and they will all be your students when the time comes. ”

Peng Hansheng saw Li Lian's envious look, and hurriedly humbled himself.

……

"Zixia, this way!"

In a corner of the courtyard, Wu Guo waved his little hand to summon Zixia, who had just come in.

Since they collaborated to open a new bread language, the daily contact has been much more frequent.

A woman who has a career has a completely different mental state.

"Wu Guo, your dress is so beautiful, it matches your skin color and figure too well."

Zixia came to Wu Guo's side with a smile on her face.

Although there are still sons and Fang Yiyu among the partners of Bread Xinyu, the relationship between Zixia and Wu Guo is the best.

On the one hand, the age gap between the two people is relatively not that large.

On the other hand, the situation of the two people is relatively similar.

"Sister Zixia, your mouth is like eating honey, and I don't know who has the opportunity to taste whether it is sweet or not."

As Wu Meiniang's younger sister, although Wu Guo has a big gap with her own sister, it doesn't mean that she is not smart.

For Zixia, her best friend, she naturally has her own way of getting along.

"Cut, you girl, your mouth is getting worse and worse."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will give you a surprise tonight, let's find a place to sit down, look at the sky, the banquet should start soon."

"Surprise?"

Zixia showed a hint of surprise.

The thing that can make Li Kuan a surprise must be worth looking forward to, right?

Although her mentality is now more correct, she still pays attention to things related to Li Kuan as always.

"That's right, I also heard from my sister. But what the hell is going on, even my sister doesn't know. ”

Wu Guo also had an expectant expression on his face.

……

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Lord Wang!"

"Princess!"

With all kinds of greetings sounding in the crowd one after another, everyone knew that Li Kuan had come out.

"Big brother, there is such a grand occasion in the palace, the first king knows about it, and he should be gratified."

Laifu and Laishou stood in the courtyard, watching Li Kuan, Cheng Jingwen, and Wu Meiniang come out, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

The two of them should have the most say in the changes in the Chu Palace.

Especially Laifu, for this palace, it can be said that he worked hard, and every time he thinks of the hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, he can't sleep well at night.

When Li Kuan sold all the valuable things in the Chu Palace's mansion to Wang Fugui in order to repay his debts, his heart hurt and he couldn't breathe.

Unexpectedly, it was a turning point in the Chu Palace, and then Li led everyone out of a completely different path.

"The prince has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he didn't use his mind in the right place before, but the last ten years have been different. His Majesty's dragon son and dragon grandson, which one is comparable to him? ”

Even if he is facing his younger brother, Laifu has a proud face on his face.

"Big brother, you can't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears."

Be cautious in Laishou, although all the people present today are from the Chu Palace, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some eyeliner from other families.

"Uncle Laifu, the prince asked you to go over and sit on the throne with him."

At this time, Qing'er came over to beckon Laifu to come over.

As Li Kuan's personal maid, Qing'er's status in the palace is also very unusual.

It can even be said that except for Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang, there is no woman whose status in the Chu Wangfu is comparable to Qing'er.

Of course, baby corn doesn't count.

"This ...... Qing'er, I'll just sit here. With so many people, it's not good for me to sit on the throne with them. ”

Although he also sat down to eat with Li Kuan in private, on a more formal occasion like this, Laifu would not take the lead in breaking the rules anyway.

Li Kuan also knows this.

But knowing is knowing, and what should be called is still called.

……

"Second Senior Brother, is the Chinese New Year's Eve in King Chu's Mansion so lively every year?"

Lu Zhaolin followed behind Di Renjie and looked at the scene in the courtyard with dazzled eyes.

Although the Fanyang Lu family is a large family in the world, the area of the old mansion is not smaller than that of the Chu Wangfu Courtyard.

However, from small to large.

Well, it should be that from childhood to now, Lu Zhaolin has not spent such a Chinese New Year's Eve.

The family is the most particular about etiquette, where can there be such a scene of joy with the people.

"This senior brother has more right to speak, and I don't know very well."

Di Renjie was also full of yearning for the lively scene in front of him.

Although the Di family in Taiyuan is not as prominent as the Lu family in Fanyang, there are many rules in the family.

It is these days under Li Kuan's door that Di Renjie really lived a free and easy life.

"Master thinks that the rules are a thing to keep in your heart, and you can keep the bottom line in your heart, and you don't have to be pedantic. Therefore, in the palace of the king of Chu, the humility of the upper and lower levels does not seem to be so rigorous, but in fact, the respect for the prince and the ladies in everyone's hearts is not weaker than that of other families. ”

Liu Yuan, as the first disciple to worship Li Kuan, naturally knew more than Di Renjie and Lu Zhaolin.

"Rules are dead, people are alive. Only focus on the key points, only look at the results, and let the others go to the subordinates to manage, the more the master trusts everyone, the more serious the work will be up and down in the house. In the entire Chang'an City, none of the descendants of the noble family have the unity of our Chu Palace. ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but show a proud look on his face.

……

Li Kuan didn't say too much nonsense, just a cup of tea, and he announced the official start of the dinner.

Soon, all kinds of dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen were served.

The meat tube is full, the wine tube is enough, and the green vegetables are eaten as you like.

Li Kuan is not afraid of the impeachment of himself for extravagance.

Lao Tzu is rich, you bite me.

"Aye, I want this big chicken leg!"

The little corn asked like a gentleman, but his hand was already stretched out to the chicken leg on the table.

I don't know who it's like, the little corn people are not big, but the amount of food is not small.

"Lord Wang, this year is our family of five for the New Year, and next year it will be a family of six. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl in Jingwen's belly, it's best to be a boy, otherwise it's like a little corn, and the palace will never have peace in the future. ”

Cheng Jingwen looked at Xiao Corn, and then at Cheng Jingwen, with a happy smile on her face.

For the current state, Cheng Jingwen is still very satisfied.

Being in Xungui's own house, she naturally does not have the luxury of being able to monopolize Li Kuan.

Now that I get along with Wu Meiniang, I am generally relatively harmonious.

Everyone is a smart person, they all know where each other's bottom line is, and they won't easily find unpleasantness for themselves.

"Your kindergarten will open as soon as the New Year is over, lock up this divine beast, and everyone will be clean."

Li Kuan pinched Xiaomai's face, and couldn't help but rub her little head again, Wu Meiniang wished that she was a baby girl in her belly.

Of course, this thought is fleeting.

No matter how much Li Kuan likes his daughter, Wu Meiniang also hopes to give birth to a son.

Mothers are more expensive than children, this is not something that is said casually.

"Soon, after the Lantern Festival, it's almost ready to open. I heard that the children of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu were going to enter the kindergarten, and before the kindergarten opened, hundreds of people had already signed up. ”

Cheng Jingwen sighed a little helplessly.

Of course she knows what everyone's minds are.

"It doesn't matter, we won't refuse to come, and when the time comes, one person will charge him a hundred yuan a month for tuition, and it will also make them feel a little painful."

What is Noble Kindergarten?

This is the real aristocratic kindergarten.

Anyway, if he collects these noble money, Li Kuan will not feel distressed when he collects it.

"Huh?"

Cheng Jingwen opened her mouth slightly and looked at Li Kuan dumbfounded.

My own prince, this is ......

Lost money?

"Lord Wang, if this kindergarten can allow some children of wealthy businessmen to come in and study, not to mention 100 yuan a month, it is 200 yuan a month, and there are a lot of people who want to come in."

Wu Meiniang obviously has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts.

For businessmen, no matter what is taught in this kindergarten, even if they don't teach anything, as long as they can become classmates with so many noble children, it will be worth it.

At this time, everyone will say in an atmospheric way: money is something outside the body.

"Lord Wang, Mei Niang, what are you ...... It's too bad. ”

Cheng Jingwen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Li Kuan will say a few words to Cheng Jingwen on the left, and Wu Meiniang on the right will say a few words, and time flies quickly.

When night completely fell, the courtyard of the Chu Wangfu was brightly lit.

Whale oil candles with the thickness of various arms were lit.

There are also various special lanterns that make you feel the darkness of the night.

And after three rounds of drinking, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, the venue became more lively.

Li Kuan also took the initiative to have a few drinks with Wang Xuance and others.

"Bang!"

Just as he was about to be full, a loud noise suddenly sounded next to the courtyard.

"Bang!"

The pagoda in the clouds is sag, and the mirage on the sea is smoky.

There are more strange flowers hanging in the first place, and thousands of branches give birth to golden lotuses everywhere.

The volcano swallows away the sun and the moon, as fast as a crossbow leaving the string of arrows.

Colorful fireworks filled the air, and the noisy yard immediately fell silent.

All that remains is the sound of fireworks firing "bang" and "bang".

"Lord Wang, is this the surprise you said?"

Wu Meiniang looked at the air a little intoxicated.

These fireworks reminded her of the scene when she first met Li Kuan.

Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.

This situation and this scene have a different kind of echo.

"I didn't light fireworks during the Chinese New Year, and I always felt that something was missing. In the future, we will celebrate the New Year in the Chu Palace, and we will set off fireworks every year this year! ”

Li Kuan stretched out his hands and gently took Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang into his arms.

However, Xiao Ma and her brother on the side were very faceless and interrupted such a warm scene.

"Aye, I'm going to set off fireworks too."

For Little Corn, fireworks are beautiful, but the fireworks attract her even more.

"That's not good, these fireworks are dangerous, another day Aya will make some less powerful ones for you to play with."

"Aya, this is what you said, don't cheat."

"Wang Ye, this Chinese New Year's Eve is the most memorable Chinese New Year's Eve that Mei Niang has ever had."

"I also think so, it's like last year, it's deserted."

"In the future, we will all spend Chinese New Year's Eve together!"

Li Kuan didn't care whether he could do this or not, he said it first.
