Chapter 767
"It's all good on the road!" Xie Zhi smiled.
Lu Yan nodded, and just now rode his horse back to the side of Rong's carriage. Rong was already waiting, and looked at Lu Yan full of nostalgia, "Ah Yan, are you here?"
Lu Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, are you safe all the way?"
After exchanging greetings, Lu Yanfang turned his horse's head and rode side by side with Xiao Xun. The two were talking and laughing, obviously they had only been separated for half a month, as if they had been separated for a long time, and they had endless words to say.
Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Lingsu looked at the two figures in front of her, and couldn't help but said to the servant girl, "Do you think my elder brother is happier when he is with Mr. Lu?"
Xuantao was also saying the same thing to Xie Zhiwei, Xie Zhiwei couldn't help stretching his head and looked outside, wondering if he had a feeling, Lu Yan and Xiao Xun turned their heads to look at her together, Xie Zhiwei felt like he was caught on the spot Feeling stuck, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, I smiled quickly, and retracted my head.
Yanjing used to be the accompanying capital of Beiqi, and it was also a strategically important place. The city wall was tall and towering, reaching straight into the sky, and the interior was magnificent. There was a city in the north of the city, and land and sea department stores gathered in it. Monks live in Buddhist temples, which are crowned in the north, and are beautifully composed, and they are exquisite in the world.
Here, the water is sweet and the soil is rich, and the people are diverse. There are 26 squares in total, which are more prosperous and beautiful than the Shangjing City in Beiqi.
The streets are wide, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the snow has been swept away. As the New Year approaches, the shops on both sides of the street are full of people, such as whip sticks, paper and ink shops, silk and satin shops... There are so many people, hurry up. People with ox carts, people with baskets, families going out together, and women with baskets and children on their hands, looking around wondering what to buy for the new year.
Xie Zhiwei fell in love with this place immediately. Although the winter in the north is very cold, the enthusiasm of the people on the street infected her. Even the maids in the car poked their heads out and pointed at the shops on the street. .
The carriage stopped at Zhaomingfang, the place where Xie Zhiwei and others lived temporarily was on Shuangnian Street, this place was originally a garden of Wan Yanliang, King Hailing of Beiqi Jin Dynasty, not long after it was built, Youzhou was occupied by Xiao Xun, It was renamed Yanjing Mansion, and the garden naturally became Xiao Xun's possession.
The garden is divided into five roads, with seven entrances in total. Except for the main hall on the second left road, all the roads are entered three or four times to form a courtyard. A large garden in the northwest direction, with small bridges and flowing water, strange stones and bamboos, has the characteristics of Jiangnan.
Lu Yan lived in a small courtyard on the west side, and opened a small barbarian gate facing the street, standing side by side with the gate of Xiao's house. After entering the courtyard three times, it leads directly to the garden. A clump of green bamboos at the front door hides a moon cave door. After passing through the door, there is Xiao Xun's meeting hall.
Mrs. Rong lived in the main hall behind Zuoer Road. There are three courtyards in total. The first one is the main hall. There are seven main rooms, which are very spacious. The few bergamot lilacs in front of the door have not yet reached the time of hanging flowers, but they have been accommodated. Shi likes it.
Xie Zhiwei lives in the Sijin courtyard at the back of the middle road, and in front of it is Xiao Xun's outer study, separated by a wall, with rockery, apricot blossoms, white walls and black tiles covering it.
Xiao Ke occupied the front yard of Dongyi Road, while Xiao Lingsu lived in the small courtyard of Xier Road. After leaving the back door, there was a garden. A new, a small lacquered canopy bed was placed in the inner room, and the dressing table was filled with various jewelry, which made all the fatigue of her journey disappear in this instant.
Xie Zhiwei placed Linghua in the Qionghua Building next to the garden.
Yuan Shi was embarrassed to live in Xiao's house anymore, so she bought a house next door to where Xie Zhiwei lived. It was said that a wealthy family named Qiao in Yanjing Mansion bought a dowry for his daughter and sold it to Yuan Shi.
There are two roads in total, five entrances, a big garden behind, everything is brand new, costing three thousand taels of silver, expensive but not expensive, the important thing is that it is next to Xie Zhiwei, and there is an old house next to it, Yuan's simply went together bought it.
Naturally, Princess Dagon had already made arrangements. She entered the Yanjing Mansion, told Xie Zhiwei, and she went to her own house.
As for Mrs. Cui and Haishi, their son Cui Yingqing naturally took them to the house they had prepared for the New Year.
The group didn't settle down until midnight, and the kitchen sent snacks to each yard, and after each used it, they washed up and went to bed.
Although in the new environment, Xie Zhiwei didn't choose a bed, and Xiao Xun was next to her. She was held in Xiao Xun's arms and almost fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the bell of Longfu Temple rang, Xie Zhiwei woke up from his sleep, he saw Xiao Xun's chest, and his breath was full of Xiao Xun's breath.
She didn't know whether her face was hot or shy, it was flushed red, Xiao Xun opened his eyes, saw his wife's delicate face, his impulse was burning like fire, he lowered his head and touched Xie Zhiwei's lips, and held it Her hand hesitated for a moment, but she still gave up that desire.
Wait a second, only half a month.
But even so, the two couldn't help being emotional. When they got up from the bed, the sun had already risen high.
There is no New Year's Eve this year, and the New Year's Eve falls on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is today.
Xie Zhiwei's face was full of pink, and he was wearing a magenta satin jacket embroidered with peonies and butterflies. Before he moved from the inner room to the open room, Zi Mo came over with a list, "Princess, today is the New Year's Eve. I'm asking, how many tables will be arranged for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner? How to worship the ancestors?"
These are all decided by Xie Zhiwei, the mistress of the house. Xie Zhiwei glanced at the Western-style clock beside the ancient shelf, and saw that it was past time, and his face became hot.
She looked at the menu first, and still followed the usual practice, only adding or subtracting a few items, then handed it back to Zi Mo, and seeing Xiao Xun came out, she asked, "Is this year's ancestor worship the same as in previous years? "
"Yeah." Xiao Xun, wearing a royal blue peony chess piece-patterned round-neck arrow sleeves and a pair of powder-soled soap boots, walked up to Xie Zhiwei, tilted his head to look at her, and couldn't help laughing, "Look, why not?" Excuse me? I let you get up early...why don't you dare?"
As she said that, she held Xie Zhiwei's hand, and Xie Zhiwei withdrew her hand hurriedly. There was still a maid in the room, so she couldn't help but cleared her throat and asked, "Are you hungry? You should be busy after breakfast." , I have a busy day today."
The ancestral hall is behind the Zuoyi Road, and it enters the courtyard in front and back. The portraits of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Zhaoyang, and Dingyuanhou and his wife are enshrined in the front, and there are five rooms in the back, which store sacrificial vessels.
Xiao Xun had eaten breakfast, so he went to order someone to open the shrine, to clean it, to pack up the offerings, to invite the gods, and to clean the room, and he personally wiped the leftover image carefully.
After a while, Mohen came, stood aside to help Xiao Xun, and said, "The servant just came from the West Courtyard. I heard that the governor got up early today and is practicing calligraphy."
When Xiao Xun heard it, he couldn't help laughing, and told Mohen, "Stay here and watch, I'll go over and have a look before I come back!"
