The "winter solstice" is also known as the "solstice" because it is the "solstice of the cathode", the "beginning of the yang energy", and the festival of the "southern solstice". And because after the winter solstice, the New Year is just around the corner, so there is a saying that "the winter festival is as big as the year", which means that the customs of the winter solstice are almost the same as the New Year's Festival. "Historical Records: Xiaowu Benji": "After the age of two, November Jiazi Shuodan winter solstice, the calendar is based on the system. The Son of Heaven personally went to Mount Tai, with November Jiazi Shuodan Winter Solstice Temple God Ming Hall, each repair sealed Zen. "That being said, but no one wants to drink and have fun with the elders, such words are too formal, others don't say it, as long as Jia Zheng is in front of him, Baoyu is honest like a quail, unwilling to say a word, not to do one more thing, this is another difficult thing, Xue Pan thought about it, "It's hard to say, but it's not difficult, just let's not be lively at home, or I will invite the elders to play in this Lixiang Courtyard first, eat and drink for a day, Let's choose a quiet place with a good scenery to hide and have fun by ourselves. ”

This method is good, but everyone is in trouble again, what is the quiet and beautiful place near this left, Xue Pan reminded with ulterior motives: "Lixiangyuan is too small, but if we go out to other farther places, I am afraid that the elders are not at ease, and it is always good to be at home." ”

Baoyu heard Xue Pan so seductive, so he hurriedly took the bait, "If you want me to say, it's best to put it in Huifangyuan," Baoyu clapped his hands and said, "It's my own home again, it's very close, the scenery is excellent, everything here in our Xifu is good, but there is one less garden, and the places with better scenery are all in the big master's place, so we naturally don't want to bother the big man." ”

Tanchun also thinks this is a good thing, "If you borrow the garden on Brother Zhen's side, it's cheap, let's go to the lively and lively, Su Ri is in a hurry, and I don't take a good look at the scenery." ”

Everyone said that it was excellent, Baoyu was a little impatient, and wanted to hurry back to Jia's mother, Baochai smiled, "What is the urgency of this time, it's not too late to wait for my brother to leave the palace and then speak." ”

Xue Pan then called Steward Zhang, telling him to prepare wine, melons and fruits, etc., ready to treat, naturally there is no need for Xue Pan to worry about the East Mansion, Baoyu will naturally go to the handover, Ning Rong Erfu, the most honorable person, Baoyu said that it is the second, no one dares to say the first, with him out of the horse, Jia Mu will inevitably agree, the East Mansion, Jia Zhen likes to be the most lively, and obviously will not refuse this matter.

So agreed, everyone just said goodbye and left, Xue Pan was a little tired today, nonsense, he was busy with this matter in one day, and arranged for An Fuhai to pretend to be a woman to enter Ningguo Mansion, and it was planning the next thing, it was really busy, it was very brain-consuming, and he had to get up early tomorrow, he went back to Aunt Xue, and went back to his yard to prepare for sleep, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he naturally called Yang Zhi, but he didn't expect Yang Zhi to come out, only the little girl Hong'er came out to pour tea for Xue Pan, "What about your sister Yang Zhi?" Xue Pan asked, "Why don't you see anyone?" ”

Hong'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm afraid my sister is embarrassed to see my uncle." ”

"That's what you said, why are you embarrassed?" Xue Pan smiled, "It's not that you did anything unseemly." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Zhi opened the door curtain and came in from outside, she scolded Hong'er with a smile: "You little hoof, what kind of bastard are you talking about, I'm embarrassed to see you there!" She turned her head and saw Xue Pan's eyes looking at her with blazing eyes, and she couldn't help blushing, "I just heard that a guest came to the study, and he and Zhen'er hugged the bedding together, and they couldn't let the people outside sleep on the uncle's quilt." ”

"You think well," Xue Pan nodded with a smile, "I will enter the palace again tomorrow, and the family will depend on you." ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, he blushed and lowered his head again, Hong'er covered his mouth and snickered on the side, Xue Pan was triumphant, "It's cold this day, if you want me to say, you still come to me to sleep together, lest it be very cold on the ground, and it will not be good if you catch a cold." ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, she didn't bother to be angry and ashamed, Xue Pan has always been like this, she didn't pay attention to Xue Pan, and instructed Hong'er, "Hurry up and prepare the package for the uncle to go out tomorrow, the weather is cold, and Da Mao's clothes must be prepared, so as not to suddenly snow in the palace and have no clothes." ”

So there was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Xue Pan went out to Xihuamen to enter Xian'an Palace to prepare to read, and when he arrived in class, before the master arrived, Jin Ning hurriedly greeted: "Yesterday, I wanted to come to Wenlong Mansion to prepare to go out together, but I didn't expect your family to say that you were sick, but I was afraid that you couldn't make the trip, and today will be fine?" He hurriedly admired, "In the end, it is the family lineage of the house, and the medicine is tried and tested." ”

Xue Pan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, laughed dryly, hurriedly sat down with Jin Ning, and asked, "I wasn't there yesterday, is there any news in the school?" ”

Jin Ning quipped: "Brother Wenlong, the Monkey King, is not in Xian'an Palace, but our Xian'an Palace is very peaceful, and nothing happens for a day." ”

"There," Xue Pan said with a smile, "Could it be that I'm here today, and there's something wrong?" ”

A few people were talking and laughing, outside the master Lu Shenglu came in, the first class of today's class was he taught, he looked around the crowd, saw Xue Pan also back, everyone was there, after receiving the greetings from the students, he began to teach.

Obviously, Jin Ning's words are very wrong, after class on this day, there is nothing, in the evening, Xue Pan is also preparing An Fuhai to invite himself to go out at night to teach Tai Chi, but he did not wait for anyone, this night Xue Pan slept beautifully, and on the second day, Rao is Ying Hong and others sneered at him, and did not change Xue Pan's good mood, if there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. Now An Fuhai has not come to make noise about himself, it is really empty.

The life of Xian'an Palace is very busy, so busy that many people forget the time, and on the third day, the political hall issued an order from the emperor, stating that the suburbs on the winter solstice, the prince and the nobles should go with them to the imperial mausoleum to offer gifts.

Xue Pan looked at the newspaper and put it aside casually, this person has already been led out, so it will be up to him next, he said to Xiao Liang, "Last time, Gonggong An sent a lot of people in?" ”

"I sent someone in, but I just knew a rough, specific direction."

"That's it," Xue Pan instructed him, "Go home first, and ask my family to prepare for the poetry club gathering before and after the winter solstice, and put it in Huifang Garden, and then you can send someone in to take a look, just don't have too many hands and feet." ”
