In Chang'an City, although the emperor had more than two months to go on the eastern tour, the palace was busy preparing related matters, fearing that something would go wrong in a hurry.

At the end of the year, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was ordered to go to Xianling and Zhaoling to worship the deceased grandfather Li Yuan and his mother, Empress Changsun Wende, who died last year.

He already knew that the emperor wanted to go to the east. It was a common practice for the emperor to leave Beijing and the prince to stay in the country, so it was no surprise. It was reasonable for uncles Changsun Wuji and Cen Wenben to stay in charge of the government.

In contrast, Li Chengqian, like Changsun Wuji, was more concerned about who was accompanying him.

News came out of Chengqing Palace that the father only planned to bring King Li Zhi of Jin, Jinyang and Princess Hengshan, and no other concubines or princess accompanied him.

This is undoubtedly good news, which shows that the woman the father loves the most and cares about the most is still the mother Changsun Empress. Other concubines cannot catch their eyes at all, so they naturally have no chance to blow the pillow wind.

As for the prince, he followed his brother and sister-in-law of his mother and his compatriots, and they were still young. I won’t say that the two princesses are. Li Zhi is the younger brother, but he is only nine years old. Li Chengqian never felt that he was threatening. On the contrary, as the elder brother, he has always loved his younger brother and sister very much.

As for the real potential opponent, the fourth King of Wei, Li Tai, stayed in Chang'an Palace to study, while the third King of Wu, Ke, was his chief governor in Anzhou.

The day before yesterday, I heard that a censor impeached him for hunting and trampling on farmland. The father first blamed the chief of the Wu Palace, Shi Quan, for his failure to teach. He did not blame Li Ke at all. If it were not for the advice of the censor, he would not even have the symbolic punishment for cutting off the enfeoffed households.

The key is to say something about making a big deal afterwards, praise King Wu Yingwu, and even compare it with his own hunting.

This made Li Chengqian feel a little unhappy. The words "a certain sub-class father" are of extraordinary significance in the royal family.

For the crown prince, it is a dangerous signal. What's more, the fourth brother, who is very literary and famous, is also a legitimate descendant, which makes people very uneasy!

Li Chengqian sighed lightly, thought for a long time, and asked softly: "Hegan, can there be any news from Chushi come in the near future?"

Hegan Chengji, the leader of the guard of the Eastern Palace, reported: "I returned to Your Highness, a few days ago, there was a letter saying that several young talents were found in Chenzhou, one of whom was a son of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Helan was very cautious and did not dare to make friends with him rashly. The other was from the Xie family in Chenjun, but..."

"But what?"

"Maybe he is indeed a talent, and Hou Junji also likes it very much, but this person is young and has a strange style, and is often as a talented scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so he has not yet been able to..."

Li Chengqian sighed: "Hou Junji has such an attitude..."

"Your Highness, you are in a hurry to come." Hegan Chengji whispered to comfort him.

"Well, that young man...forget it, let him do it!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and sighed: "In contrast, Gu hopes that Helan Chushi can deal with his old father-in-law, at least pave the way for Gu to go out in person."

Hegan Chengji took the order and said, "Yes, I will inform Helan immediately."

...

In Chenzhou City, Xie Yi suddenly sneezes and muttered in his heart: Who is muttering me?

The emperor was going to move, and the prince was worshiping his ancestors. At the end of the year, Xie Yi was also bound to have these two "important things".

To be honest, he really didn't want to move, so he found some reason to delay. He delayed for half a month on the excuse that he was not suitable to move, and also found a group of craftsmen through the Lu family to repair the old house.

Xie Yi's request was very meticulous, and the purpose was to delay time and try to finish the work later. However, the craftsmen were too real, or the Lu family greeted him, so they rushed to work day and night, and specially completed the work before the New Year.

"Mr. Xie, everyone has been cleaned up. We have arrived quickly. Finally, it has not delayed your move back to the mansion in the New Year." The craftsman smiled and had a little intention of seeking credit for rewards.

Xie Yi was angry and didn't make me angry, which ruined my good deeds and wanted to give me money? No way!

"Have my hot kang been repaired?"

"Okay, according to your instructions, only one place was built in the east house. Also, your ancestral hall has been repaired to facilitate your ancestor worship..."

"Yeah!" Xie Yi responded lightly, what should I say? Why should I be so anxious? Why should I always have to "do bad things with good intentions"?

The ancestral hall has been repaired, so the New Year's ancestor worship will naturally be here, and the house will be renovated. I really can't find a reason not to move back.

Looking at the huge courtyard and the numerous rooms, Xie Yi was so depressed. Is the good days of living together and sleeping on the same kang going to be gone forever?

But... Fortunately, there was only one kang built in the yard. The weather was still very cold now, especially at night, hehe!

Just for this, let’s give some rewards to the craftsmen. Bosses who don’t send red envelopes during the Chinese New Year are not good bosses!

...

On New Year's Eve, Xie Yi's family finally moved back to the old house that had been away for two months.

It may not take long, but I feel like I feel like a different life, especially for Xie Yi. In the past, I was a prodigal son, but now the prodigal son turns back and takes back his lost ancestral property and revitalizes his family business. It is of great significance!

Unfortunately, there were no firecrackers and fireworks in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would have been a few thousand sounds at the door to celebrate.

The fat man Lu An came over to help enthusiastically, and threatened, "Sanlang, do you want me to find some servants and maids for you? Your family is so big, and there are few people and are deserted, and no one can serve you... No one can warm up your bed at night."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lu, there's no need to do it for now. Let's talk about it after the New Year. The most important thing now is to reunite the family and have a good New Year. The hot pit in my house is very warm, so let's just warm the couch..." Xie Yi laughed dryly, but he didn't see that Fat Lu had an enviable side. There was actually someone warming the couch...

Although there is a beauty on my kang, it’s a pity that I have never helped me warm up my bed. Compared with Fatty Lu, I’m so angry that I’m so angry!

And... Maybe tonight, the good days of sleeping on the same kang will come to an end, and I will have to sleep alone in the future.

well!

No, no, you must not let such a tragedy happen. As a talented young man with great talent and beauty, how can his life be so sad?

...

After seeing off the fat man Lu An and worshiping his ancestors and his deceased parents and brothers, Xie Yi's family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Du naturally had to take all the money, but Xie Yi claimed that he would cook too and everyone would cook the reunion dinner together.

"Sanlang, gentleman stays away from the kitchen, don't mess around." Du immediately brought out the big truth and stopped Xie Yi from reaching out.

Xie Yiyouyou said: "Don't listen to those old pedantic nonsense, I'll do it with you... Anyway, others won't know about it at home."

"Okay!" But he was entangled, Du had to nod helplessly. He thought that Xie Yi was just looking for a reason to stick to him, but he didn't want to enter the kitchen, but was surprised to find that Xie Yi quickly got started, cutting vegetables and cooking everything, and he became a spectator.

Du said in surprise: "Sanlang, when did you know how to cook?"

"Hehe, is it a surprise? Just wait and eat." Xie Yi smiled softly, fooled him, and poured the dishes on the plate into the pot.

In the winter of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many fresh ingredients and limited seasonings. Xie Yi tried his best to produce only a few dishes. By next year, the seeds in the pink backpack will sprout and grow and produce some more dishes on the table.

Even so, Du was still very surprised, and Xiaoman was even more greedy and drooled.

"How is it? Is it delicious!"

"It's delicious!" Xiaoman picked up the wooden spoon and stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, looking satisfied.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Du nodded and said, "Well, the ginger dishes are also delicious and delicious!"

"Well, that's good!" Xie Yi said: "Some people say that to tie a woman's heart, first of all, to tie her stomach. It seems that I have been half successful."

"Speak nonsense again!" Du suddenly blushed and shy.

The "family of three" had the New Year's Eve dinner, and then sat around the kang to stay up to the New Year. The greedy Xiaoman stuffed a few candied fruit into his mouth. Not long after, he fell asleep and fell asleep. He was too young to survive the night.

So, on such a special and beautiful night, only Xie Yi and Du were left to stay together for the New Year.

Du was rarely not pretending to be asleep early, and sat on the edge of the kang and kept circling his fingers. Especially after seeing Xie Yi lit two red candles, he became a little more "uneasy".

"Sanlang, what are you doing?"

"Don't bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the red candles shine brightly and look more festive..."

The New Year should be festive, but the red candle shines high... It seems that it is more like that, Saburo is like this... When Du thought of the greatest possibility, his heart trembled, and a layer of crimson appeared on his cheeks. Under the bright red candle, it was so beautiful and charming...

"Sanlang, you..."

Xie Yi plucked up his courage and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say... do you understand my thoughts?"

"Sanlang, I understand...but can't..."

"Why not? Don't you look down on me?"

"No...no, but I'm you..." Du swallowed his words back to his mouth. Thinking of those confused misunderstandings back then, this reason was completely unreliable and unconvincing. The reason why she was afraid to accept him was more because... Du opened her mouth, but she still couldn't speak out.

"Since there isn't, then..."

Du couldn't help but exhale a little quickly. She wanted to refuse, but couldn't break free, or she had no desire to refuse in her heart.

She had already accepted him. In the past, she had made a living or repaying her kindness, but now she was willing to do so. But... the knot in her heart was not resolved, and in a hurry...

"Sanlang, don't mess around, Xiaoman... Xiaoman is still there?"

"It's okay, Xiaoman has always been sleeping well, it's not a big deal..."

Du's hasty excuses are a bit crappy, but they are easy to make people misunderstand... He blushed and hesitated: "Sanlang, you can't talk about this matter now."

“Why?”

Du blushed and said hurriedly: "My parents' filial piety period has not passed yet, two months later..."

Xie Yi suddenly realized that February was the death day for the third year of his father's death, and the filial piety period was completely over. By then...

"After two months, I won't refuse?" Xie Yi asked a little domineeringly.

Du was almost embarrassed and couldn't speak, and her heart was even more chaotic. It took a long time to speak Ruo Xiaomosquito and said, "Let's talk about it in two months!"

What does it mean? At least it is a major breakthrough.

Xie Yi smiled and said happily: "Yes, but what about?"

"But what?"

Xie Yi said, "The weather is still cold, and there is only one fire kang in the old house. You still live here, just like before..."
