Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 66: Annual banquet

When returning to his house, Mei Changsu felt cold all over his body, unable to support himself, and reluctantly supported him, and arranged for people to pay attention to the actions of speech at any time. Then he relaxed and lay back to the bed dumbly and said to Doctor Yan Sorry.

As for his apology, the old doctor ignored it and applied a needle to the patient and still had a face like a pot bottom, which made Li Gang aside to worry whether he would stick his silver needle in other places that should not be pierced. Out of breath.

After staying in bed for three days, Mei Changsu's spirit gradually recovered.

Maybe the subordinates didn't dare to disturb them deliberately, or maybe nothing really happened. The situation in Beijing during the three days was very calm. Only the emperor issued an edict, saying that the emperor was sick.

According to legends in the palace, the emperor originally intended the Yue Fei to give the ceremony, but the Yue Fei himself wrote the book personally, claiming that the position was later, and disrespected, and proposed that Xu Shufei should be held in accordance with the grade and the length of the palace. ceremony.

This book was written with reasonableness and eloquence, and showed his demeanor, which was greatly appreciated by Emperor Liang.

The news spread that it really made Yu Wang angry.

However, the feelings of despair return to despair, which is also a common occurrence in the battle for back-and-forth battles. The one side is not a big win, and the other side has no substantial losses. At the time of the year, the affairs are numerous, and neither side has entangled any more, biting more.

Of course, Su Zhai also has to prepare for the New Year. This is not something that Mei Chang Su has to worry about. Not to mention that Li Gang is a good housekeeper. Mr. Thirteen also has Mr. Gong Yu who has packed a few cars of new year products, most of them Nowadays, all kinds of new and ingenious gadgets are full, making Fei Liu basically busy from morning to night every day, and playing non-stop.

Others such as Mu Wang Mansion, Yu Wang Mansion, Yan Mansion, Xie Mansion, Commander Mansion, etc. have exchanged gifts, and even the King of Jing also sent Shi Dengmen, the governor of the mansion, to send some greetings.

Most of the gifts Mei Changsu just looked at the gift list and let Li Gang handle it himself. Even the return ceremony was arranged by Li Gang himself, and he didn't even bother to listen.

However, there are the same things that Fei Liu loves very much. These are the seven boxes of fireworks sent by Mu Wang's Mansion, all of which have thick children's arms, which are gorgeous and unusual. Fei Liu must put on half an hour every night. However, before the New Year ’s Eve, it was put in a clean place, and Li Gang sent people to buy it again, only to find that the palace was sent by Mu Wangfu, which was not available on the market.

In order to appease Fei Liu, the first letter of Qilin talent who had recovered from her illness after leaving the bed turned out to give Ni Huang to ask her to buy ten more boxes of fireworks for her.

Only one day after the letter was sent, the carriage carrying fireworks came to the back door of Su Zhai.

Fei Liu was very happy, and Mei Changsu was very happy.

Because he wrote a letter to Nihuang, it was really only Mu Wangfu who sent fireworks again, and there was no other government like Yuwang to hear the news. This shows that Nihuang is indeed strict in governing the government, and the irrelevant news will not Flying around.

New Year's Eve will arrive soon.

The much-anticipated ceremony had caused so many battles and storms in the front and back of the palace, but on the day it was held smoothly and peacefully, there were no unexpected changes. Except for the absence of the queen, the Vietnamese Outside the concubine, it is no different from the previous festival.

After the ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace and began to give candles. The prince's clan and pro-honour ministers knelt outside the Yin'an Gate to receive the reward.

In accordance with the practice of previous years, the rank of Yuci should be princely, followed by the king, the rest of the princes again, and the other ministers of the royal family were different in terms of grade.

This year's general rules haven't changed much, but after receiving the same year gift as other princes, Jing Jing has gained an extra round silver armor.

However, his recent performance is indeed very good. This extra reward is different from the richness of Yu Wang, so it has not caused any special attention from anyone.

At the Xian'an Temple that evening, the emperor went to the Ci'an Palace to ask the Empress Dowager and then returned to the hall to drink with the concubines, princes and clansmen, and to send some of the dishes on the banquet to the important Minister's palace.

The dishes that can be given by the emperor on New Year's Eve have always been a supreme favor for courtiers. People who are not holy families are generally not honored.

It's just that no one can think that the "gift dish", which is a kind of routine grace every year, will also cause a lot of events.

In the New Year's night of the capital, firecrackers are noisy, flowers and paper are everywhere, every family keeps the age, and the city is full of lights.

Although it is lively, it is different from the Lantern Festival. After all, everyone stays at home and reunites with their loved ones. There are basically no pedestrians on the street except for children in the alleys who place small firecrackers at their doorsteps.

The internal supervisors of "Gai Cai" in Miyagi, dressed in yellow shirts, galloped out in a team of five, drove horses on the unmanned street, and ran towards the well-respected purposes scattered around the imperial city. Ground.

In addition to an internal supervisor with a food box in the middle, the other four companions surrounding him in front and back are holding brightly colored Miyagi glass lamps, and bright red lanterns on both sides of the main road around Miyagi.

But compared to the permeable light of day, these night lights can't make every dark corner clear, and the high walls of Miyagi are still heavy and heavy, and they are still large and dark shadows.

The shock came from these dark, fast whirlwinds like no shadows. Even the victim himself did not see when the deadly cold light flashed and where he quietly retreated.

The weight of the person fell, the mount still ran forward, the blood was cold in the winter night, and the faint screams were also covered by the continuous sound of "cracking" firecrackers, nobody heard.

The splendid fireworks rose into the sky, and it was almost midnight. At the turn of the year, the officers and soldiers of the night watch also stopped, looking up at the blooming flowers in the night sky. Reach the highest point.

With a long incense, Mei Changsu personally lit the largest firework specially left for him by Fei Liu. The skylight flicked across a flame mark in the dark curtain and went straight into the depths of the night. It burst into a waterfall of flowing clouds that almost dazzled half of the sky.

"Chinese New Year! Chinese New Year!" There was a loud noise from the top and bottom of the Su Mansion, and even the always steady Li Gang didn't know where to take out a souvenir, and blew a happy tone.

Several young escorts began to beat the gongs and drums, running around the courtyard.

"Or you should be in the background. At this time, you should blow this and knock on this. If you touch the piano, you will have a bad view." Mei Changsu smiled and turned back to sit on the soft chair under the corridor and took a few chestnuts slowly. Peel off and continue to watch the sky full of fireworks.

The clock leak at midnight finally flipped over, and the whole hospital was already gathered up and down. Even Aunt Ji walked away from the kitchen spoon and walked out. Everyone was led by Li Gang to the front of his own patriarch and bowed to the New Year, leading the way. A red envelope, most of them are personal guards who have followed Mei Changsu for many years, but there are also two or three people who have been staying in the capital and have never taken things directly in the hands of the suzerain. Here, I was laughed at by the seniors rubbing their heads for a while, and everyone was in a mess and very happy.

According to the habit he developed in Langzhou, Fei Liu came to the end and walked over (because he was the youngest), kicked off the prayer blanket, and kneeled directly on the blue brick floor, shouting: "Happy New Year!"

"Be good this year!" Mei Changsu said with a smile, and took a red envelope in his hand.

Although Fei Liu didn't know what was good about the red bag, he knew that everyone was so happy to take it every year, so he also showed a smile.

After the New Year, Mei Changsu stood up in front of Doctor Yan and saluted him. The old doctor seemed to be still angry with him and stretched his face, but he could n’t stretch the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. With a beard, he smiled and patted on Mei Mei's shoulder. He said, "Don't just talk about others, you must be good this year!"

"Yes." Mei Changsu smiled and turned to look at the yard. Everyone had already worshipped me and I was chaotic.

"It's time to eat dumplings! The boys are here!" Aunt Yoshi summoned at the gate of the courtyard, and the flow of people immediately rushed to her.

Mei Changsula took Dr. Yan's arm and led the three of Fei Liu into the room together. Here, several large tables were already assembled, with fruit and wine dishes on it, and a plate of hot dumplings was served. The table, with white air, is full of fragrance.

Aunt Ji prepared a small dish of scallion and **** vinegar for everyone to dip dumplings, but the boys all put the small dish away, and each person held a big bowl, Fei Liu opened his eyes and looked at it, and changed it to one. Big bowl.

"It seems that only our two elderly people are gentle," Mei Changsu whispered a joke to Dr. Yan. He was pointed at his waist and gasped for a while. He raised the chopsticks and dipped it on the plate. I rushed forward and quickly grabbed the first round of dumplings.

"What do you grab? Reincarnate?" Although Aunt Ji scolded, she saw that the dumplings she made were so popular, her eyes laughed into a slit, and she just brought in the second round of dumplings just cooked. To fill the empty plate.

A large iron pan with a diameter of two feet, full of boiling water and Bai Shengsheng dumplings, she walked around empty-handed effortlessly, and it was surprising to close her mouth when she wanted to change an occasion. No one in the room looked at her more. Everyone's eyes were filled with dumplings. When grabbing, someone took chopsticks and even used the swordsmanship.

"Fortunately, they also know to take care of the elderly." Doctor Yan looked at the group like a wolf and smiled and shook his head.

He and Mei Changsu both put a plate of dumplings in front of each other without joining the battle group.

But looking at it this way, it seemed that the other pots on the table seemed a little more fragrant.

"Come on, Fei Liu eats this." Mei Changsu grabbed a bowl from Fei Liu and put it into Fei Liu's bowl. Although the young man grabbed the world invincible, he was afraid of being hot and ate slowly. After two rounds of dumplings, he I haven't eaten ten of them yet. It is now the gap period of two or three rounds. He can only stare at the empty plate in a daze.

"The patriarch's plate is not hot anymore. It flew and swallowed!" Gilber squinted and encouraged.

Feiliu really picked up the bowl obediently, gently swiped it, put the whole dumpling into his mouth, just chewed, his eyes suddenly stretched out, he twitched his mouth a few times, and spit out a swaying oil The copper coin came and smashed crisply on the table.

A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the room, and many hands stretched out towards Fei Liu to touch him.

The teenager didn't know what was going on. The instinctive reaction flashed, and the man got on the room beam, immediately triggering a chaotic chase. Even Aunt Ji's third pot of dumplings failed to calm down.

But in a room that is not wide, so many people are squeezing around, no one has broken any utensils, and no one can successfully grab a piece of clothing corner of Fei Liu. In the end, Mei Changsu reached out The teenager called back to his side, holding his hand and let everyone come over and touch it to be considered a truce.

"To touch?" Fei Liu looked as if he had learned a new rule, and he was surprised.

"Yeah, we ate this copper coin in Feiliu, the most blessed person this year, so everyone wants to touch you."

Fei Liu tilted his head for a moment and thought suddenly, "Nothing!"

In the room, only Mei Changsu knew what he was talking, and smiled twice: "Last brother Lin Chen spit out the copper money last year, didn't you touch it?"

"Yes!"

"That's why Brother Chen Chen is wrong. Next time we see him, we will fly back and touch it!" Mei Changsu suggested seriously, and someone in the house who knew Lin Chen had already rolled his stomach with his belly smiling.

Feiliu thought for a moment, and shivered involuntarily, shaking his head and saying, "No!"

"Let's eat dumplings quickly, it's getting cold!" Aunt Ji beat a few young people beside him, drove everyone back to the table, and replaced Mei Changsu's plate with new hot dumplings. : "Sovereign, eat two more."

"Almost," Dr. Yan stopped, "Aunt Ji, go take the porridge. Su Gongzi will go to sleep after drinking the porridge. Although it is the new year, don't stay too late."

Mei Changsu was indeed a little tired. He smiled and responded. After slowly drinking a bowl of hot ginseng porridge, he returned to his room to wash and rest.

It was already late in the middle of the night, but the hustle and bustle was still in the capital. Under the glory and bustle, no one noticed that the sky was beginning to float sporadic snow particles.
