With the lessons of yesterday's past, there are no longer only a few people on the street between Lan Qianzhen and Lan Ziyi's father and son today, and the Lan family's father and son are surrounded by Taicheng guards. The emperor has not received the minister for a long time due to health reasons, and it can be said that it is a supreme honor for Lan Qianzhen to be personally received by the emperor this time.

In order to match this supreme honor, both father and son dressed up, lest there be rudeness, Lan Ziyi has a moon and a mountain to serve needless to say, Lan Qianzhen is also a python robe and hat today, Hu Yanhao and Tao Laoqi who followed behind also wore brocade robes, there were official nails with complements, and the white ones were also covered in Luo Qi, even the few guards who followed Lan Qianzhen from Beizhen were full of splendor, and everyone was riding on a high-headed horse, and the people in the capital looked at the team that entered the branch and forgot to decorate the façade, and couldn't help but stop on the side of the street to watch.

Lan Ziyi looked at the flowery streets and the jubilant people of the capital, sighed and said:

"It would be great if all the people of the world could enjoy peace like this."

Lan Qianzhen said:

"It's coming, it's coming. There is no one in the world to threaten our Taisho, and we only need to survive this year's famine to usher in peace. ”

Hu Yanhao said:

"I don't think so, I still remember yesterday's chaos vividly, the chaotic people can actually run rampant in the capital, and the court is still weak after the famine, and if you are so nonsense, I am afraid that it will cause internal trouble."

Then Hu Yanhao said to Lan Qianzhen:

"General, current affairs are like this, I have to plan early, I advise ......"

Before Hu Yanhao finished speaking, Lan Qianzhen looked back at him, and Hu Yanhao immediately didn't dare to say more. Lan Ziyi paid attention to his surroundings, although the Taicheng guards who were in charge of guarding around him rode horses without squinting, they were by no means distracted, they were all attracted by Hu Yanhao's words and listened attentively.

In fact, everyone knows what Hu Yanhao said in their hearts, but it still makes people feel uncomfortable if they really want to say this. People are so strange, they know that they are telling a lie and still want to deceive themselves to believe it, knowing that the harshest sentence is the truth, but they are always unwilling to believe it.

After Lan Qianzhen stopped Hu Yanhao, the group all looked elsewhere, taking care of the left and right without saying a word, Lan Ziyi wanted to change the topic, so he asked Lan Qianzhen:

"Where is my father's robe today? I didn't see it yesterday, did you bring it with you? ”

Lan Qianzhen said:

"The luggage and baggage are still in Jiangbei, and we have to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to arrive. This python robe was given by Father-in-law Yu, and Father-in-law Yu, where I lived, had already arranged people, and they waited for me to get up in the morning. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Qianzhen sighed, and Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why does my father sigh?"

Lan Qianzhen said:

"Is it necessary for more than 10 people to get up and wait for one person? I already hated this kind of extravagance in the capital, but my father-in-law wanted to entertain me like this. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to Lan Qianzhen's words and waited for his father's next words. Lan Qianzhen said that he was not extravagant, but yesterday Lan Ziyi entertained Lan Qianzhen like today's father-in-law, Lan Qianzhen would not mention this matter for no reason, he must have something to say.

Sure enough, Lan Qianzhen turned his face to look at Lan Ziyi and said:

"Ziyi, you are in the capital, I am in Beizhen, you and my father and son have been separated, and I don't care much about your family affairs. This is the atmosphere in the capital, and it is understandable that there are more servants in your family, but my son, you should also understand that people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days. ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"What my father said is true, it's just that Mu Xiu will be damaged by Lin Feng, and my father's official position is already unprecedented, so how easy is it to protect myself? Qi Zhun and Zhang Mingyue in Dongzhen have a close relationship, each other is the inside and outside, Qi Rongxun took refuge in Zhang Mingyue's door in Beijing, and when the demon thief committed Beijing, it was Qi Zhun who personally led the troops to escort him. For example, if only his father is left in the feudal town today, it is imperative for the imperial court to reduce the feudal domain, no matter how humble his father is, it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, but it is suspected of being pretentious.

If my father really wants to keep his wealth, I advise him to think of another way. ”

Lan Qianzhen listened to his son's words expressionlessly, and after a long time, he sighed slowly, and after sighing, Lan Qianzhen suddenly asked Lan Ziyi:

"What about King De?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"As early as today, or later tomorrow, my father will be able to see the prince, and my father will know after I see him."

Lan Qianzhen nodded, and he asked again:

"I heard that Boss Cao made a big deal in the capital, and the money for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the imperial court was borrowed from Boss Cao, and it is related to you, what's going on?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"Don't say that it's the festival money this time, that is, the daily expenses of the court in the future will probably come from Boss Cao."

Lan Qianjin asked puzzledly:

"What do you mean by that?"

So Lan Ziyi told Lan Qianzhen about Cao Jinbao taking the initiative to lend money to the imperial court, and after hearing this, Lan Qianzhen stroked his beard and asked:

"Ziyi, do you know why Boss Cao wants to do this loss-making business?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said;

"I don't know what Boss Cao plans to do, I just know that this matter will definitely not be a loss, otherwise Boss Cao would not have done this."

Lan Qianzhen said noncommittally:

"I hope so."

After saying this, the father and son of the Lan family didn't talk about anything serious, and the four of them chatted about some common words, talked about the scenery of the capital, and went along the heavenly street to the south gate of the palace gate.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the people of the capital are all putting up lanterns and decorating the façade. The homes of dignitaries and dignitaries are based on the official rank, and the main color of the decoration is also based on purple, vermilion, blue and blue. Ordinary people's homes put some flowers and set up sacrificial places to worship melons and fruits and mooncakes. Along the heavenly street, from the main road of the capital to look at the head, only to feel that the street scene of the capital is peaceful, and the peaceful and prosperous era is in front of you.

However, Lan Ziyi is not an idle person, and looking at the street scene will not be just superficial. Although this is Lan Ziyi's first Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, it is not real for me to look flashy in front of me.

, can almost open the door of the human head, those red and purple houses of the powerful are naturally as luxurious as ever, passing by the walls of these wealthy families can smell the aroma of the sky through the wall, those unrecognizable incense mixed together, rushing into the nose cavity of people suddenly bursting, can suddenly open the door of people's heads, sweet can make people tired of the tongue unconscious.

But when it comes to the front of those blue and blue portals, the situation is different, although these families are still doing their best to decorate the façade, but the tassel brocade they use always looks gray in color, and if you look closely, these decorations have been used for a long time, and the flowers placed at the door are not growing well, or too messy, or too bald, obviously not taken care of seriously, through the door to see the layout of the door, although the shrine is neatly placed and quite rich, but there are only a few kinds of melons and fruits, and it always feels a little widowed to look at.

As for the doors of ordinary people's homes, they are even more shabby, there are few tassels in the items that decorate the façade, and the occasional lantern is also patched with several layers, Lan Ziyi really can't imagine what kind of brilliance such a lantern will emit after being lit. As for the shrines enshrined in these ordinary family doors, it is even older, and the few melons and fruits on the table are not enough for the family at all, and even the necessary things such as moon cakes are only a few packs.
