Section XVII New Year
In the wind and snow, a group of people and horses slowly walked from the distant mountains, the leader of the big man opened his mind, let the wind and snow blow on his chest, his body seemed to be cast of steel, a tiger skin hat was crookedly buckled on his head, followed by him was an old man with a terrible scar on his face, he wrapped himself tightly with a leather robe, it seemed that he was not adapted to the cold of the north, and a charming woman in the carriage behind poked her head out of the window and looked at the white land of Guanzhong in a new way.
"Zhong Jian, entering the Guanzhong is Yun Ye's territory, the old man is very worried that he will suddenly attack, these nobles are the most shameless, the old man doesn't understand why you want to risk going ashore?"
The old man's words have been asked no less than ten times, as a pirate, he was born with a great fear of Chang'an.
The man at the head laughed and said: "Lao Hu, in Yangzhou, in Lingnan, you can indeed see the shamelessness of Xungui, but in Guanzhong, they are the most law-abiding citizens in the world, you are right, they are indeed the most shameless people, one set in front of people, one set behind them, but in Datang, I Zhang Zhongjian is also a law-abiding and good citizen, what can he do to me, although Lao Tzu killed many people, but not stained with the blood of the Tang people, how many Tang people's sea ships have received our favor, they also hope that I can dominate that sea area."
What's more, my eldest brother is Li Jing, he Yun Ye has to shout uncle when he sees him, I'm afraid that he will do something, I even want to take you to Yun's house for a full meal, grandma's, his family's meal will never be forgotten for the rest of his life. â
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjian finally gave the bottom, Hutonghai also put his mind at ease, the sea area of the big cannibal has been very difficult to mix recently, the big cannibals, the Ceylonese people, and those damn Koreans. The Japanese people are eyeing the rich sea area, causing war at sea, and the Lingnan sailors control the strait to watch the excitement, as long as they do not enter the strait, they have nothing to do with each other, and the pirates will only have the fate of death when they enter the strait.
Everyone else has a naval base. Only the bearded guest did not have them, although those slaves fought bravely and feared death, but the loss of one warship was one less, in this sea game, the bearded guest gradually fell behind, the high mountain goat even joined forces with those big cannibals and Ceylonese to prepare to exterminate the bearded guest in one go, in this case, the bearded guest had no foreign help. For the fate of a large group of pirates, the bearded guest placed the pirates on a secret island, and prepared to go to Chang'an to meet Li Jing, hoping to get some support.
Hu Tonghai was supposed to stay and control his subordinates, but he didn't care, his subordinates were all homeless, except for himself. No one would take them in, so they were very relieved to enter the South China Sea on merchant ships with their most elite men. In addition to this level of thought, the most important thing is that he wants to keep Hutonghai by his side, only in this way can he ensure that his pirate group will not mutiny, and he does not want to experience the tragedy of fratricide again, even if the pirate group is gone, he does not want to suffer betrayal again.
It would not have been easy for such a group of people to cross the state through the state. But with Li Jing's caravan as a cover, there are one hundred and ten Hu people, and no one will pursue them, because the guarantor is Li Jing.
After entering the pass, the bearded guest remembered that he had reached the New Year's Pass, and in previous years, he was floating on the sea, and there was no concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter. When I saw the newly replaced peach charms in every household, I remembered that it was already the New Year.
There was no one on the Baqiao, the willows on both sides had been broken bare by the people who sent them off, and two healthy horses came over from the Baqiao, one black and one red, but it was not Li Jing, who was the red whisk.
Can't wait for the war horse to stop, Li Jing jumped off the horse, stretched out his arms and hugged the bearded guest who was already waiting for him, Hongfu also jumped off the horse and waited for the two of them to hug and happily saluted the bearded guest: "Second brother has always been good?" â
The bearded guest grabbed Li Jing's hand and said tremblingly: "It's okay, it's okay......"
There are also a lot of guests in the Yun family, Han Zhe left with Hannu, but Xitong came with his son, Shan Ying also took the eldest girl and his two children back to Chang'an Province, Li Dian because he wanted to worship his grandfather, and also returned to Chang'an with the Emperor, this year the princes who are outside will return to Beijing, the Li family will prepare large-scale sacrificial activities, and the suburbs of the imperial court will also be carried out after the beginning of spring, and the sacrifice is now the most important court activity in the Tang Dynasty.
Ronghua Nu also rushed back to Chang'an from Luoyang, and did not live in the Yun family, but lived in the post house provided by Honglu Temple, and her activities in Luoyang finally won her the status of an official envoy.
The New Year's gift to the Yun family is very shabby, that is, a tapestry, the craftsmanship can't even catch up with the satisfactory, the housekeeper takes it and puts it in the warehouse, such a rough thing, the master will not use it.
This year's polar bear has a lot of bear skins, Shan Ying and Xi Tong and his son went to the north, saw Atami, and also saw the aurora, Xi Tong then understood that the aurora appears every year, not what Tian Xiangzi thought, the aurora is because he came to the North Pole to save zĂ i.
Because the purpose of this time is very clear, and the preparation is also sufficient, Shan Ying and Xi Tong hunted a lot of white bears in the Arctic, a strange animal with big horns was caught by them as labor, and those precious furs were transported back from the snow field, and Xi Tong, who was wrapped in a thousand waists, would naturally come to Chang'an to sell fur, and soon, there were countless white velvet guys in Chang'an, and the fur of the white bear was worn on Xungui's body.
Yun Ye didn't want the skin of the white bear, he left the moose, the milk of the moose is said to be the supreme nutrition, the people he befriended are all elderly people, and they need these things very much, these old guys are the treasures of the Yun family, where do they dare to lose one lightly.
He collected the best nutritional products all over the world, hoping to keep these old guys for a few more years, because there are too many old guys who have left in the past few years, and they can't afford to lose anymore, and Lao Cheng and them have all been automatically upgraded to old people.
"Master Hou, the bearded guest has entered Beijing, do you want to arrest him again and send him to an even more desolate island?" Liu Jinbao came over to report this matter.
"No, arresting Li Jing in Chang'an will go crazy, we shouldn't know, this is Chang'an, not Lingnan, we don't want to make ourselves uncomfortable during the New Year."
Yun Ye and Xin Yue are drawing up a list of New Year's gifts, they don't need to send it to Li Yuan this year, they have saved a lot of money for the Yun family, Lao Qian's report one by one, and Yun Ye's writing from one family to another, and they haven't finished it all morning, Yun Ye is a little irritable, and most of the nobles need to be dotted in this way.
"Husband, don't be impatient, this kind of relationship can't be asked for by others, so write patiently, there are few left." Xin Yue had already discovered that her husband was lazy, and the words on the name card were getting fewer and fewer.
"I just need to have a name, why do I have a name? I admit the etiquette for the royal family and the elders, Wei Zheng's old puppet has hurt me countless times, does such a guy also want to give gifts? Why? â
Xin Yue rubbed Yun Ye's wrist and cheered him up: "It's all your colleagues, if you give it to others, you can't say anything to the Wei family, it's all a small friction, you just forgive him a lot, the Wei family is poor, and you can't open the pot, just do good deeds at that time, the Wei family can not receive many New Year's gifts, and there are only a few households." â
Listening to Xin Yue's pitiful words about the Wei family, Yun Ye nodded with satisfaction, it would be good if Wei Zheng said so in person, a little bit of money, just pack more items.
Other people's families go to the elders' house on the first day of the New Year to pay New Year's greetings, Yun Ye needs to take the whole family into the palace, that day, the bell is not qualified to go, the children must bring it all, the eldest girl is not qualified to marry, and the little girl wears her favorite red dress and happily goes to see the concubine.
Li Er's family is so big, offering a New Year's gift, Li Er didn't even look at Yun Ye with his eyes, pointed to the side hall and asked him to sit with those sons-in-law, and he happily took Yun Shou's fat hand and asked east and west.
"Another one is here to dine in the side hall," the eldest grandson Chong squatted on the soft couch and greeted Yun Ye in a strange manner.
"The royal son-in-law is not as good as a dog, you can bear the worms." Yun Ye sneered at each other.
"The dog can't spit out words, you think you are not the royal son-in-law, the eldest children are twelve years old, and the younger ones are five years old, and they have more children than my legitimate son-in-law, and they have the face to laugh at others." Xiao Wei was the oldest, and he was the boss on this occasion, so he smiled and scolded and handed Yun Ye a glass of wine.
"It's just that the brothers don't have the ability to make the princess a mistress, and it's also because of the ridicule, in other words, Xiao Ye, you weren't kind enough back then, so why didn't you tell us in such a clever way, let's also marry the princess to the earth king, and then kill the earth king, and finally hook up with the princess to adultery, so that the face is all there, only when such a horse is enough, unlike now, you have to live in the princess's mansion, sometimes I can't figure it out, is the princess marrying us, or we are marrying the princess." Tang Yizhi was taught very strictly by the supervisor of Yuzhang Gong, and he drank two glasses of wine and complained.
"There's no way to say, marrying a princess is not called marrying, it's called Shang, even if we marry a princess, this Shang word is still understood thoroughly by Xiao Ye, and the brothers have misunderstood, and they all deserve it today."
It's all about burdens, and there is no scruple when it comes to talking, Cheng Chumo jumped out to relieve Yun Ye and said: "Drink well, and complain less about the New Year, both in the main hall, in case you hear it, I don't care about Lao Cheng, the timid ones will suffer, don't think about finding yourself unhappy during the New Year." If you want to brag nonsense, out of the palace, it's not too late for Yan to come to the building to brag. â
Chai Lingwu went out to look at the main hall and said to a group of people in annoyance: "Why is it not over yet, it was all over at this time last year, where did you come from so many things to say this year." Send the princess home, let's play tricks. â
Yun Ye grabbed Chai Lingwu and asked him to sit down and said with a wry smile: "There is a big sacrifice this year, Your Majesty and the ladies have a lot to explain to their daughters, naturally there are a lot of words, our group of worthless sons-in-law should wait a lot."
