Aoyama

On the early morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets were foggy and filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.In the attic, on the water bridge, one or two figures who got up early, doing their work, making the quiet city of Lin'an look like a secret place on the moon.

In Pingnanhou Mansion, there were three sounds in front of the door, Qi San yawned, and opened the door unhurriedly to welcome the guests: "Master Han, it's really early, Lord Hou is still asleep in the east room."

Han Shui smiled and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard." Now, everyone in the mansion is familiar with Han Shui, and no one is surprised by the visit of this first rank.

Last night, Han Shui specially cut a simple and elegant green shirt, put it on when he got up early, tied his long hair like a cloud, and simply tied a hosta.He is a first-rank minister in the current dynasty, so there is no need to publicize it.He wants to share a family banquet with Qi Lin, and he will be generous.

In the east room, Master Qi Hou was still sleeping, but in the side room next to him, there were people moving around, and the gold and silver ladles were accompanied by the sound of splashing water.Han Shui wanted to open his mouth to call for someone, but he heard a servant girl and a man having an argument, and they couldn't leave.

The two are fighting over a silver washbasin.The servant girl had a sharp voice and said harsh words: "My son is over twenty years old, and his body is stiff. It is common sense not to be pleasing to others. The Marquis just ordered me not to serve you." Xi Wu's eyes were red, holding a A water basin, stunned in place.

The big servant girl snatched the basin and brought a few young servant girls into the house.Xi Wu hurriedly wiped her face, and said with an apologetic smile: "Nu Wan died, I made Master Han a joke."

Han Shui looked indifferent, and followed into the house.The maid waited on Qi Lin to change his clothes behind the screen, and the sleeves of his clothes fluttered.Han Shui asked: "Why didn't Xiwu show up at the family banquet?"

Qi Lin stood up straight with his arms outstretched, and replied: "My uncle doesn't like masculinity." Han Shui's palm tightened, "In that case, then I don't have to show my face." Qi Lin smiled wryly: "My family has always been upright. , Your Excellency, forgive me." Han Shui smiled.

Although there is no need to go to the yamen on festivals, official business is still pursued in the mansion.The grasslands in the north were severely drought, and it was difficult for Di Rong to survive the winter. Ashina Khan united several tribes and often harassed the border towns.Qi Lin was reading the local military newspaper in the study with a solemn expression.

Han Shui was sitting on the side cutting the lantern paper, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the northern border, the boxes of white phoenix egg yolk mooncakes just sent by King Beiyu are very delicious. I brought them here. My uncle will have a taste tonight."

Qi Lin inherited the mantle of the Qi family, and had never been used to Han Shui's reciprocity, so he mocked: "The honey pomelo that King Nanjing gave is also very good, why didn't you add more points?"

Han Shui raised his eyes and smiled, hung the floral lantern on his wrist, and waved it in front of Lord Hou's eyes: "Does it look good?" Qi Lin ignored it, and only said that it was just right to send those gaudy princes.

Han Shui was not forgiving, sat down on the desk, snatched the military newspaper from Qi Lin, and pretended to be sophisticated: "In the future, when you marry a princess, you will always have to deal with princes. I am teaching you."

Qi Lin was joking in his eyes, and was about to retaliate when the door rang.The servant girl entered the room and said, "Master, the three masters have arrived." Han Shui hurriedly got up and straightened his clothes. Fortunately, the blue shirt was not wrinkled, and it passed by like water.

There is a round table of fragrant wood in the lobby of the Hou Mansion. On the table are ten altars of fine wine and twenty-eight dishes of delicacies, all of which are exquisite, almost catching up with the regulations in the palace.The older generation and the younger generation were playing in the Garden Accord just now, and now smelling the fragrance, they all rushed over.

At the busiest time, San Bo Qi Zhen also arrived.Qi Zhen has a square face with thick brows and a strong physique. He chatted and laughed happily with Qi Lin all the way, asking about his situation in recent years without being polite.

But as soon as he arrived in the main room, Qi Zhen was taken aback, and his smile suddenly disappeared.Others were still standing, but Han Shui was the only one sitting at the table gracefully, holding a pair of thin black chopsticks between his long, white fingers.

Qi Lin smiled and said, "Third Uncle, this is Lord Han, Lord Han, family uncle Qi Zhen." Han Shui stood up slowly and saluted, but Qi Zhen snorted coldly, almost ignoring his attitude, and took his seat.

Qi Zhen will not include any carefully prepared dishes, and Qi Zhen will not discuss any political affairs involving the court.Han Shuiyuan thought that an official of his rank could at least get some recognition.Now it seems that the unruly temperament of the Qi family is inherited in one continuous line.

During the meal, a few interesting peers joked wantonly and tried every means to get close.But Han Shui only cared about Qi Sanbo in his heart.If Uncle San doesn't nod his head, he will never walk the right path in the world.

So Han Shui kept toasting.He didn't drink much, he had only had a dozen or so glasses, his face was pink, and his voice was not the same as usual, a little frivolous.

Qi Lin felt distressed and wanted to laugh, and wanted to drink for Han Shui over and over again, but Qi Zhen finally opened his mouth and said, "My nephew, why bother, Mr. Han is the first rank in the court, and he is not your husband and wife."

Several cousins ​​followed suit.Han Shui smiled foolishly, raised his glass and said, "What's the matter with a man and wife, Han wants to be aboveboard and be a man's wife." Hearing this, Qi Lin snatched the wine from Han Shui's hand, and his expression became complicated.

Wine is a good thing.Han Shui is not drunk, but is using alcohol to play.Qi Lin immediately drank the wine and helped Han Shui to sit down.The members of the Qi family were at a loss and just focused on eating.

Qi Zhen sneered, clapped his chopsticks and said, "Old Qi's family is not afraid of power, and does not flatter courtiers. Qi Lin, although your son is named Marquis today, don't forget how your father and Nan Yu died." A bloody blunt statement made all the people present silent in shock.Qi Lin said: "Master Han, he has no evil intentions."

Han Shui flung his sleeves and left, Qi Lin turned and chased after him.After chasing to the dahlia garden, I don't see the fragrance of the day before yesterday, only the moonlight outlines the strange-shaped petals, and the silver is messy and absurd.

Qi Lin frowned, and across the lake and autumn pond, he shouted to the Tsing Yi on the pavilion: "Isn't it just a woman who married a house, and I didn't see you so minding when the lanterns were put on at the Star Lantern Festival."

Han Shui was drunk, and the pink on his face was the only color under the white moon.Qi Lin sighed, and said seriously: "If you really mind, I can wait until you are willing to marry."

Han Shui smiled: "You Pingnanhou is sealed, so there is no reason not to marry. That's all." He didn't know who gave the empress this idea of ​​marriage, he only knew that since ancient times, heroes and beauties can marry A princess is the pride and glory of a man's life.

Yangyue, Mr. Han finally went to court.Yun Bing looked at the courtiers and workers, and said with a smile: "When Mr. Han came, it was very lively, and everyone's expressions were different from before." Han Shui bowed to apologize.Yun Bing said: "Master Han, do you really want to understand?" Han Shui said: "Understood."

On a night when the moon was scarce, the orchid curtains fluttered in the Ziyu Palace, and the maids followed behind the princess with glazed lanterns, like a group of fairy moths flying with the flowers.And Yunyao, with a light body, was chasing a ferret, laughing so hard that her branches trembled wildly.

Yun Bing arrived and was amused seeing this scene: "Little sister is really naughty." Yun Yao calmed down and saluted: "My sister is disrespectful, my sister has seen the emperor."

The two sisters have been in harmony since they were young. When Yun Bing went to Xiling Road, Yun Yao had two braids of ox horns, which had not yet become popular.Now, Yun Bing ascended the throne as the emperor, Yun Yao stood out and became the beauty of the country, and the whole family begs for it.

Stepping down the corridor, Yun Yao held the imperial sister affectionately, and asked with lowered eyebrows: "What is General Qi like? What if he bullies me?" Yun Bing said: "You are such a weird person , What demons and ghosts can't subdue, I don't bother to care about it."

Yun Yao pretended to be pitiful, but she really didn't know how to perfect herself.Hearing this, she only smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my sister will definitely take General Qi seriously and make him hard to escape." Yun Bing said: "I just want to find you a worthy one, but you don't want to marry him." Thinking of going beyond cloud nine."

Jin Nian waited on him, secretly covered his sleeves and smiled.No one in the palace knew that Yun Yao had admired General Qi since she was a child, and she didn't know how many times she had disguised herself as a commoner woman and ran out.

The empress uses power, not to force others to make things difficult, but to be an adult.

The next day, in the imperial garden, Uncle Xiao and his relatives accompanied the Empress Dowager Xiao to admire the flowers and swim in the water, talking about the marriage between General Qi and the princess, they were very happy.

"Qi Lin is a young hero with illustrious military exploits, and he deserves it." Xiao Shi said, "But Ai's family heard that after the death of his wife Nan Yu, this man was addicted to male sex and had no intention of continuing. I don't know. Is it true?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "That's because General Qi has never tasted the taste of a little princess." Xiao Shi frowned: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Yu said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, this matter is on the younger brother's body, it is absolutely suitable Follow the rules."

It's strange to say that it was originally a matter of the Yun clan, Yun'an ignored it, but it was Xiao Guoshu who inquired everywhere and acted as a matchmaker between the two, and was very attentive.

The set in the palace hasn't started yet, so it's done secretly according to folk customs.Xiao Yu secretly asked for the birthdays of both parties, looked left and right, and then called Lin Yun to explain in detail.

Lin Yun squinted his eyes: "This horoscope is offensive, and it is aimed at the film department. It is a bad omen." Xiao Yu said: "It's not your idea to marry the princess." Lin Yun laughed: "It's just a sentence after drinking. Jokingly speaking, Uncle Guo took it seriously, and the emperor also took it seriously."

The wind blows the candlelight, flickering, before the desk with the eight-character bamboo slips, a few wisps of time and people's hearts drift past.Xiao Yu said: "It's difficult to sail against the water, and you can't fight against the trend. In the past, the adults advised you to avoid the edge of Han Qi and Qi, and I will keep it in mind." Lin Yun nodded.Xiao Yu feigned panic: "Now?"

Lin Yunsu shook his fan lightly, and said leisurely: "Nowadays, only Uncle Guo can do this kind of thing." Xiao Yu's face sank: "Old man... Lin Yun stopped talking with a smile: "Don't, Lin is just joking, it's God."

Rumors spread in all directions within a few days, saying that as soon as the spring begins, Princess Najib will be enshrined, and Qi Lin will be the son-in-law.

Officials from the East and West Halls and Six Departments of the Shangshu Province saw Qi Lin from afar, and bowed their hands one by one, and greeted him more enthusiastically than anyone else: "Congratulations!"

Qi Lin was like a spring breeze, with a well-deserved chic appearance, passing by various departments with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Then he sat down in front of the case calmly, and went about his business as usual.

In recent days, there have been frequent reports from the military that if the Di Rong in the northern border is not eliminated, it will become a serious disaster.Qi Lin summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Get ready, let's go out in spring." Jin Yu was stunned: "Aren't you going to get married?" Qi Lin seemed to be joking: "Then let's delay this marriage first, it doesn't matter .”
