Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Emperor Jianlong was bowed down by his six sons, and they gave advice one by one to press the New Year's money. After the sons thanked him, he went with him to Cining Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother.

At this time, the queen had led the concubines of each palace to stand in the main hall of Cining Palace, and even the Hua concubines, who couldn't go out of the palace gate a few times a year, also came, and mixed in a group of warblers and swallows in a low-key manner. But no matter how low-key she was, Emperor Jianlong still saw her at a glance, and with that look, he couldn't wait for the Queen Mother and the Queen to gouge out his eyeballs together.

The eldest prince and the concubine with a resolute face saw that her son actually came with the saint, and her puzzled expression flashed and was caught by the second prince and the third master.

The eldest prince who escaped unsuccessfully broke the jar and followed his younger brothers to kowtow to the Queen Mother and answer correctly. Because the wives of various prefectures were about to enter the palace to meet the queen mother and queen, Emperor Jianlong's father and son did not stay long and returned to Yishou Palace.

There was still a while before the worship of the hundred officials, Emperor Jianlong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looking at his sons with a smile.

The eldest prince's fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched, just waiting for the third child to attack. Who knew that the third child was silent.

The eldest prince listened to the old thing asking about the seventh and eighth children's homework, and asked him about his body, so that he could rest in the mansion, and said that he was like a loving father of ordinary people!

Until he left Yishou Palace, the eldest prince didn't understand which play the third child played last night, so he had to return to his mansion with hatred. Although the old thing did not issue an order to confine him down, he was not allowed to return to the imperial mausoleum or let him enter the court to do things, only let him cultivate in the mansion, not what the captivity is!

The eldest prince looked at the high-spirited second child, the third child with a black belly, and the fourth child who had no heart and lungs, and he couldn't wait to beat them all to death. He is the eldest son of the emperor, he has the talent to govern the country, this world should be his, his!

When the fourth elder who had been nagging all the way finally entered his mansion, and the boss who had been gloomy all the way also went back and closed the door, the second prince had no time to talk to the third brother, "I can't rest on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the third brother has worked hard." ”

"The younger brother is in danger of the imperial city, and he doesn't dare to relax for a moment." The third master is also the patrol envoy of the five cities, as he said, there is no room for slackness during the festival.

The second prince Lama leaned over to the third brother and whispered, "Just now in Cining Palace, can the third brother see Jiang Zhaorong's face?" It's not just her, but the eldest brother's look has always been wrong. ”

The third master didn't hide it from the second brother, "When there was a fire at Lord Jiang's house last night, the prefectures sent people over to put out the fire, and the younger brother also went over to check. When riding a horse in front of the eldest brother's mansion, the younger brother saw that a person had just stepped out of the gate and retreated, and the figure was very familiar. ”

Anything more, there is no need to say it. The second prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and the spies he planted in the Great Prince's Mansion didn't send a trace of news, how did the third brother know?

The third master explained, "Yesterday, after yesterday, more than a dozen suspicious people gathered outside the southern city, so I sent people to pay attention to the movements of various prefectures, just in case. The fire in Master Jiang's house was together, and there was such a movement in front of the eldest brother's door, so I guessed eight or nine points, but the situation was not clear at the time, so I didn't mention it to the second brother. ”

The second prince was relieved and patted the third brother's shoulder with relief, "Thanks to your alertness, otherwise we will not be able to be stable this year and the next two years." ”

When the eldest prince left the city, he naturally fled to his uncle in the northwest. The northwest is in chaos, how can the court be safe?

The third master nodded slightly, "The second brother has a good location, so be careful not to change him." ”

His palace is close to the eldest prince's mansion, and it is indeed advantageous to occupy the location, and the second prince will understand, "The third brother can rest assured that he will go back to the mansion to rest, and I am here." ”

The third master, who had not slept all night, said goodbye to his carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate. He stopped Chai Yanchang because Mobei was under the control of the fourth uncle, Teng Hu, at this time, and if there was chaos in the northwest, Ning Taifu in the capital would have thoughts that he shouldn't have. The third master doesn't want to be the emperor, but the fourth is definitely not that material, if he goes up, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger.

After the Mobei Army changed its guard in another year, Wuhuan was stationed in Mobei with the Right Jin Wuwei, and even if the eldest prince escaped by chance, it was just in the hands of the third master, a chess piece that allowed Wu Yu to take the opportunity to turn over, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

And in a few months, he will marry Xiao Nuan, how can he let Chai Yanchang add chaos on his big day.

Thinking of Xiao Nuan, the corners of the third master's mouth curled slightly, and he really wanted to see her when she received the New Year's money, and he could wait for her to go back home at this time next year. He didn't know how to learn from his second brother, and threw the princess in Cining Palace and ignored it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers moved Kyushu, and the four seas were jubilant.

Xiao Nuan's family was full of guests, and only stuffed candy cubes for the children who came to pay New Year's greetings, and they stuffed out nearly 20 catties, and Xiao Nuan's smile was stiff. The relatives of the head were almost here, and the stewards of the shops and villages came to pay New Year's greetings again, and after Xiao Nuan sent these people away, he was directly paralyzed on the kang.

During the Chinese New Year, it is really good to be a child, you can wear new clothes, eat delicious food, and get New Year's money. Xiao Nuan is sixteen this year, and she is also said to be a child, but she has long lost the treatment of a child. Although she also took the New Year's money from her mother and second uncle, she did everything that an adult should do.

Tired......

Xiao Nuan turned over and was about to rest for a while, when Xuan Wu came in happily, "Girl, the letter from the third master has arrived, and it was sent by the third housekeeper himself." ”

Xiao Nuan got off the kang in a hurry, asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to help her arrange her clothes and hair, and ordered, "Quickly invite him to the hall." ”

Wang Quanyou first sent the third master's things to Xiao Nuan, and then said, "The third master ate all the dumplings you sent, and drank two bowls of dumpling soup." ”

I ate all 50 dumplings, and one of them was filled with bitter melon. Xiao Nuan curled the corners of her mouth, and after giving the reward, she asked Xuan Wu to take Wang Quanyou down to rest, she couldn't wait to return to the kang in the inner courtyard, wrapped in the quilt and opened the letter of the third master.

She doesn't like to chew words, and the third master writes in the vernacular, only writing at the end: "Your heart, Shengzhi." When you return, cut the window flowers with a few drops. ”

"Return" means to marry. Xiao Nuan put down the letter, rolled around the quilt a few times to calm down, and then opened the things in the bag to read.

A vivid rabbit jade carving should be the New Year's money for rhubarb; Nine grape-sized gold beads are the New Year's money for Xiaocao, this girl is nine years old this year; The last purse was heavy, and inside it were sixteen gold beads and a stack of silver tickets, which was the New Year's money for himself.

Xiao Nuan lay on the kang and stared at the silver ticket for a long time.

The third master really knew that she was short of money here, so he didn't open his mouth, and he didn't take a hand, and now he sent five thousand taels, saying that it was too much money for the New Year, but if it was said that the third master relieved her business tension, it was less.

No matter how much it is, Xiao Nuan will be under pressure to hold it.

The third master didn't say it, Xiao Nuan also knew that the money was given to her by the third master, and she was afraid that she would be wronged by the food and clothing because of the tight shop.

His intentions, how could he not move Xiao Nuan, she was a little eager to marry him now.

Xiao Nuan raised her head and instructed Xuan Wu, "Go and tell Mama Wang that my wedding dress must be perfect, and there is no room for sloppiness; And the same is true of the thousand-step bed, if the craftsman is not enough, please ask again. ”

The third master is a perfectionist character, forget it elsewhere, his wedding dress and the bed he named must always be done, so that he can look comfortable.

It seems that the letters and things sent by the third master were sent to the girl's heart, and Xuan Wu happily responded and went out to find Mama Wang. This is the first time since the marriage that the girl cares about her dowry positively, rather than disgusted that it costs too much money to do a dowry.
