Chapter 179 New Year's Day
Mrs. Yan was quite efficient in her work. In half a month, she picked up three suitable families, one was the fourth lady from the Hanlin Academy to attend the bachelor's family, one was the second lady from the head of the Ministry of Works, and the other was the eldest lady from the experience of the Censorate.
After seeing this, Mrs. Yan said, "Let's just be the one who is in charge of the Ministry of Works."
"Mother, a girl with a scholarly family may be better." Mrs. Yan is more optimistic about the lady who is studying at the Bachelor's Family in the Hanlin Academy.
"Xiao Wu's study is not very good. If you find a lady from the Hanlin Academy, you will be disliked by his father-in-law." Mrs. Yan sighed. In the future, Yan Tongxiu was afraid that like Master Yan Wu, he would have to take care of ordinary affairs.
"Then my second brother and sister-in-law will find a day to take Xiaowu to visit." Mrs. Yan smiled.
"Okay." Old Mrs. Yan had no objection, and she recognized Mrs. Yan's vision.
After the twelfth lunar month, the New Year atmosphere became stronger and stronger. The little girls in the yard were busy sweeping the dust. The whole yard was completely refreshed, with the words "Fu", couplets, and window flowers posted, and the atmosphere was prosperous, with a New Year atmosphere.
On the 25th, Fu Zhixing came to Yan's mansion to send New Year gifts. Unfortunately, he met Master Yan Si, who was taken to the study to play chess, but he failed to see his little girl at Yi Nianyuan.
On New Year's Eve, after the New Year's Eve dinner, it was the hour of the year when Yan Huo walked to Princess Nanping, yawned and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy, I want to go back to my room to sleep."
Seeing that she looked so distressed, Princess Nanping hurriedly said, "Go back and rest quickly. She will enter the palace to the palace tomorrow morning." Yan Huo is already the county lord and no longer an ordinary lady in the official family.
Yanhu returned to the yard, but did not go to bed to rest. She lay on the window ridge, looking at the fireworks, and waited for the man who suddenly appeared and surprised her last New Year's Eve. However, waiting and waiting, Yanhu was really sleepy and could not wait for that person to come.
"Fu Wujiu, you hate it." Yan Huo shouted angrily into the night sky, "Bad guy, bad guy, let her wait for the whole night."
"Why do I hate it?" A playful voice rang.
Yan Huo saw Fu Zhixing wearing a black cloak walking over, feeling happy, but asked, "What are you here to do?"
"I'm afraid that if I don't come, someone will be angry for a year." Fu Zhixing smiled in a narrow voice.
Yan Huo curled his lips, "I'm not that stingy."
"Xiaoxiao has always been generous." Fu Zhixing said and walked in, untied his cloak, placed it aside, walked to the smoke cage, baked for a while, dissipated the chill on his body, then walked to the kang and sat down, reached out to hug Yanhu.
"Are you full of your New Year's Eve dinner?" Yan Hu asked.
"I'm hungry now." Fu Zhixing smiled.
Yan Huo immediately said: "We cook dumplings and I bought them myself."
"My Xiaoxiao is really capable." Fu Zhixing kissed her cheek, which she had wrapped in her hand. Even if she wasn't hungry, he wanted to taste it.
Yan Huo got off the kang, put his shoes on, lifted the curtain, "Ginkgo, let the serpentine cook dumplings, cook more, and eat them together."
"I understand, Miss." Ginkgo responded happily.
Yan Huo looked out the window flowers he cut a few days ago, "I cut more than a dozen of these five blessings before I cut them successfully. Take them back and paste them in the room."
"Okay." Fu Zhixing folded it well and put it in his arms.
Yan Huo reached in front of him, "I gave you window flowers as a New Year gift, what do you give me?"
Fu Zhixing grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, "I'll give you my heart."
"Your heart is mine long ago." Yan Huoao said genuinely.
Fu Zhixing hugged her in her arms, and said softly in her ear: "My heart is yours, my people are yours, and everything about me is yours."
Yan Huo pursed his lips and smiled. After a while, the two of them talked intimately, and then the ginkgo came in. Yan Huo had only six bowls and Fu Zhixing had ten bowls. It was late at night and you couldn't eat too much.
After eating the dumplings, Yan Hu urged Fu Zhixing to leave, "It's getting late, I'll go to the palace tomorrow. I have to sleep. You go back, see you tomorrow."
Fu Zhixing kissed the corner of her mouth, "Then I'll leave."
Yan Huo looked at him put on his cloak and went out, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the early morning, Yan Huo was wearing the county lord's costume and followed the palace with Grand Tutor Yan, Old Lady Yan, Grandma Yan, Grandma Yan, Siye Master Yan, and Princess Nanping. Although it has not snowed these days, it is still cold and the wind is biting.
When Yan Hu thought of him, he would suffer from fatigue every year in the future, and felt that being a rice insect in the court was not easy. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.
When they arrived at the palace, Taifu Yan took his two sons to Chengxiang Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor; when the old lady Yan and the other two were going to the Empress Dowager's harem. Concubine De, Concubine Li, Concubine Princess, Concubine Qin, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Qi, Concubine Rong, and Duke Pingguo, all the internal and external destiny wives have arrived.
After Yan Huo greeted the Queen Mother and congratulated New Year, Princess Heyi couldn't wait to pull her aside, "Xiaoxiao, what to do? It's been several months since my mother still refused to let me go."
"What are you anxious about? The news of good news is frequent. It can be seen that the war at the border will be over soon. At that time, the emperor will reward merits and rewards. Qiao Ruyu will definitely be promoted, and your mother will not be able to stop you. Be patient, can you?" Yan Huo was very glad that Princess Qin was watching tightly, otherwise this girl would definitely be hot and run to the border.
"You can't be promoted to the first and second grades even if you are promoted." Princess Heyi said dejectedly.
"Being able to make military achievements and promote his position means that he is a capable person, and there is room for improvement in your marriage. You take advantage of this opportunity today to stay in the palace and find a way to seek help from the Queen Mother and the Queen. In this way, the Queen Mother may be able to issue a marriage decree, and your mother will not be able to object." Yan Huo gave her an idea.
Princess Heyi turned her sorrow into joy and hugged Yan Huo, "Xiaoxiao, you are still smart."
The two were talking, and Tang Zhi came, "Xiaoxiao, it's OK."
"Xiaotanzi, where did you just go?" asked Princess Heyi.
Yan Huo smiled and said, "Little Tanzi, Happy New Year."
Seeing that Yan Hu's attitude towards him did not change, Tang Zhi smiled happily and said, "Xiaoxiao, happy new year."
The three of them sat together and chatted with pastries. Tang Zhi suddenly thought of something, "Xiaoxiao, do you have a cousin named Wei Miaoniang?"
"My eldest uncle's concubine daughter is called this one. She seemed to have a brand left in the last trial. What's wrong?" Yan Hu asked.
"She went to my second brother's palace." Tang Zhi replied.
Tang Xi has not been crowned as a king yet, but is just an ordinary prince. The women around him have no grades and titles. They are lucky. When he is crowned as a king, he may be able to get a concubine. He is not lucky...
"How is she?" Yan Qiu asked.
"I don't know, I'll ask my second brother to ask you about it." Tang Zhi replied.
This second-hand man!
Yan Hu hurriedly said, "No need to ask, no, have you heard?"
"I heard that, if you don't let me ask, I won't ask." Tang Zhi nodded.
Yan Huo gave a few more words, and Tang Zhi repeatedly promised not to ask about Tang Huo and Wei Miaoniang's situation, so Yan Huo was relieved.
