A pair of pink little hands grabbed Yang Yan's face indiscriminately, picking his nostrils, knocking his eyes, and pulling his ears, making Yang Yan grin, but the little girl in his arms was so happy that she smiled happily, her small mouth was almost grinning to the root of her ears, and a pair of black and round eyes were laughing like a crescent moon. Seeing that her daughter was having such a good time, Yang Yan had no choice but to be at her mercy, and even the maids and nurses who could see it on the side were also reluctant to be handsome.

At this time, the tassel was dressed in a scripture, and came out of the inner room, and when he saw the appearance of their father and daughter, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Nannan, don't be naughty with your father." Saying that, he hurried over and hugged the little girl from Yang Yan's arms. When the little girl saw the tassel, she smiled again, waved her little hands wildly, and shouted: "Mother, mother, hug, hug." ”

I saw that the tassel on the top of the head ordered the woman to wear a crown of flower hairpins, six flower hairpins on it, and a Bo sideburns Baodian ornament on the left and right. Dressed in a real red large-sleeved shirt, with a red color flower as the collar, mopping the floor of the red Luo long skirt. Covered with a red curtain, hanging a few strings of medicinal jade as pendants. Although she has given birth to a daughter, she is only in her early twenties, and she has recovered quickly, and her figure is slender and moving. However, he was afraid that his daughter would mess up his decoration, so after the tassel hugged her, he hurriedly handed it over to the nurse.

Now Yang Yan's daughter is more than one year old and two months old, and she is also alive and cute. Generally speaking, children who have passed the age of one can choose a name. However, girls generally take their names later, and some girls do not have names until they are married. Therefore, Yang Yan's daughter has not yet chosen a name, only a nickname is Nannan. However, there is only one child in the family now, so although it is a girl, they are all very happy, Yang Yan is of course teasing her every day, even Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, Yan Rui, Lin Yinzi, Lin Qianhong, including Gu Xueping, have to coax her to play every day.

Yang Yizhong and his wife also love this great-granddaughter like a treasure, and they have to hold the child every day with tassels so that the old lady can see it. And because she is Yang Yan's daughter, the queen and the queen mother also love the house and Wu, and there are things to reward every month.

Today is the thirtieth day of the second year of Jianxing of the Great Song Dynasty (1172), because the wedding has just been held and the queen has been ordained. Therefore, Emperor Zhao Chen set up a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace to celebrate the New Year. And the wives of all the ministers, as well as the women with the title of edict, can not only go to the banquet with their husbands, but also go to the palace to congratulate the queen mother and the newly established queen on the new joy. Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru naturally have to enter the palace, and the tassel is also Yang Yan's official wife, and now she is also the wife of the Junjun, so they also have to enter the palace with them, and the queen mother and the queen also sent someone to tell Yang Yan that if it is convenient, they will also carry their daughter into the palace, so that the queen mother and the queen can also take a look.

It's just that women's dressing up is very time-consuming, Yang Yan has already put on the court clothes, hung up the jade sword, jade pendant, brocade ribbon, and put on the hedgehog crown, but the three ladies are still grooming and dressing, so Yang Yan is waiting for them while teasing his daughter.

At this time, Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru finally finished their makeup, both of them wore the double phoenix crown that the princess should wear, ten flower hairpins, and two Bo sideburns Baodian ornaments on the left and right.

Zhao Yueru was wearing a water-red narrow-sleeved one-piece dress with pearls mopping the floor, which set off her slender and tall figure. In the collar, sleeves, and hem are embroidered with gold wire, and the blue yarn is worn inside, and the waist is decorated with goose yellow to cover the knee and waist, and the white jade double wear and jade ribbon ring are hung separately, which looks luxurious and elegant, and the color is dazzling. Zhao Qianru wore a vermilion sleeveless placket back, tied up with a hydrated silk silk, lined with twelve multi-pleated gold embroidered floor-length skirts, and draped with eight halo lace brocade shawls on her shoulders, embroidered with a pattern of real red wearing flowers and phoenixes. It looks graceful and generous, beautiful and moving.

Both of them rarely dress up at home, and even if they usually enter the palace, most of them are dressed simply. Because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have to attend a formal banquet, I am so carefully dressed. Coupled with the unique noble temperament of the two, as soon as they came out, they were radiant, as if they were fairy concubines, and the ladies in the room were stunned and amazed.

The woman didn't like her beauty, so she saw that even Yang Yan and everyone were staring at her intently, although the two of them were also seen as a little unnatural, but they were also happy about their beauty in their hearts. Zhao Qianru said with a smile: "It's not too early, we should also go." ”

Yang Yan came back to his senses and said busily: "Yes, yes, you should go." ”

At this time, it was cold winter, there was a fire in the house, it was not very cold, but it was cold outside, Yan Rui had already prepared three gray squirrel silver cotton shawls, and immediately asked the maids to bring them to the three ladies to be quilted. At the same time, he also prepared a scarlet cotton cloak for the eldest lady of the Yang family, and wrapped it tightly. Yan Rui, Lin Yinzi, and Lin Qianhong sent them out of the mansion, and the carriage was ready, and Yan Rui instructed again: "Xianggong, wait a while, we will all go to the old lady's mansion, and wait for you to go back and lay the ancestors together." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and then the four of them took their daughter to get on the horse in the car, and set off to the palace with the accompanying maids.

Jiankang is the place where the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is located, prosperous since ancient times, although Zhao Chen Dingdu Jiankang is only more than a year of streams, but now it is a gathering of people, people and things, the market is full of people, the mat is prosperous, and the path is endless. All kinds of shops are set up on the street, leading to the alleys, and even the doors are there. It has become a prosperous situation, and it is not inferior to Lin'an in the slightest.

When Yang Yan and the others went out, the sky was dark. But on Chinese New Year's Eve, every household is lit up, and girls and children who usually hide in the house are pouring into the streets to welcome the festive season, and firecrackers are ringing non-stop. Large families even opened the door and held banquets, allowing passers-by to come in to eat and drink. All kinds of workshops and liquor shops are still open for business, and the transaction is as prosperous as daytime. Between the hook fence and the tile house, the sound of silk and bamboo playing and singing can be heard everywhere. All kinds of kabuki, juggling, circus, illusion, and hu dance artists all set up stages on the street at this time, and some of them have already begun to open their performances, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

However, when they arrived near the palace, there was a team of armor guards on the road to check the people coming and going. Ordinary people could not pass through the scriptures, only officials and family members, envoys from other places, or hereditary children with passes, big merchants and Hu merchants could pass. People have crossed the sedan chair to ride, there are also many people walking, the men are brocade robes and jade belts, the women are dressed up in fancy clothes, from time to time there are acquaintances greet each other and ask, the atmosphere is warm and unusual.

At the palace gate, there was already a large group of eunuchs and maids, who were greeting guests from all walks of life, and the men were invited to sit in the banquet according to their status. The ladies and maids led them into the palace to congratulate the Empress Dowager and the Empress. There is also a band playing festive tunes at the entrance of the palace, the flute and the bells and drums are ringing in unison, full of the atmosphere of sending off the old and welcoming the new on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yang Yan dismounted at the gate of the palace, Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, and Tassel also got out of the car, and the palace maid came to ask Hou, leading Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru, and Tassel into the palace with their daughters. Yang Yan followed a small eunuch and walked towards the banquet table.

Because Yang Yan is the identity of a concubine, his seat is set in the clan banquet, on the contrary, Yang Yizhong was arranged to be the chief of the generals, and the two are far apart. At this time, there were also some officials sitting sparsely, some of whom Yang Yan knew and some who did not. But they all greeted each other.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Zihao." ”

When Yang Yan looked back, he saw Chen Liang walking into the venue with a few scribe-like people. In addition to Chen Liang, Yang Yan also knew a few people in this group, including Zhang Yan, Zhang Fang, and Zhu Xi.

Yang Yan greeted him and said, "Brother Tongfu, you are also here." ”

Chen Liang pointed to a few people around him and said with a smile: "Originally, I just wanted to come over and say hello to Zihao, but these people all wanted to come to see Zihao, so I brought them all over and asked me to bring them as an introduction." Saying that, he guided Yang Yan one by one. It turned out to be Lu Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, and Lu Jiuyuan's brothers. Several of them are recognized as well-educated people in contemporary times, and they were invited to Jiankang to teach in Zhongshan Academy. Although Zhongshan Academy has not yet been built, it is all taught by apprentices in Jiankang.

Although each person's academic views differ, one thing is the same. is that several people advocate reconquest and revenge. Therefore, I also admire Yang Yan. Hearing that Chen Liang said that he was going to come and say hello to Yang Yan, they all came together.

Zhang Yan, Zhang Fang brothers and Yang Yan have had several acquaintances, and several other people Yang Yan has also heard of it. It's all at the moment. Just met with Zhu Xi, and the two of them were a little embarrassed when they remembered the past. But at this time, no one would mention those things, and they still greeted each other a few times.

Just when they were greeting, there were more and more people, Chen Junqing, Liang Kejia, Han Yanzhi and other ruling ministers were also in line, and after a while, the officials, wives and daughters who saw the Queen Mother also came out of the palace and sat together, and Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru also came to Yang Yan's seat. When Chen Liang and the others saw it, they all resigned and returned to their seats.

Yang Yan saw that they didn't see the tassels when they came, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are the tassels?" ”

Zhao Qianru said with a smile: "I'm afraid that it won't be good for Nan Nan to stay up late, so after seeing the mother and the saint, I asked Cheng Lin and Xue Ping to escort her and her daughter home, don't worry." ”

Yang Yan was relieved, and only then did he realize that there was only one lady beside all the officials present, and only two people were beside him. Although the officials can understand that it is naturally difficult for the two princesses to marry one person, it is naturally difficult to distinguish between high and low, but there are still many people who look at them and smile secretly, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, at this time, "When! While! While! "The bell of the court banquet finally rang. The Emperor is coming out.
