??Bazhou, the sun sets in the west, the snow is covered with silver. Today is New Year's Eve. Smokes are rising in Xiyang City. All the households in Xiyang City gather at home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner and then stay up late to watch the New Year's Eve.

On the northwest side of Xiyang City, in a yard in the Tian family fortress on the eastern foot of Longtou Mountain, Tian family Sect, Changtian Zongguang, sat in the corridor and stared at Xue Jing in a daze. His eyes were dull and his hair was fluffy and his face looked bleak and desolate.

The wine pot on the tray was already cold, and he had no intention of letting the servant take it to relive it because he had never drunk the wine by his side. Tian Zongguang's mind was not here at all but in Xiyang City several miles away.

His son Tian Yilong was imprisoned in a prison in Bazhou and was waiting for death. The male Tian family was hundreds of people who were not afraid of being cut off. However, Tian Zongguang had only this only son and was about to die. In the future, there would be no face in the dead father and his family's ancestors in the future.

That day, Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen sentenced Tian Yilong to death in the lobby and was sentenced to prison. The case had been passed on to the Huangzhou General Administration Office for approval. After no objection there was any objection, he had to be sentenced to appoint a timely sentence. According to the news that Tian Zongguang asked someone to come back recently, the case was proof of the situation, so it was impossible to reverse the case.

"The iron evidence is like a mountain, the iron evidence is like a mountain..." Tian Zongguang murmured to himself for a moment, then his eyes turned red and raised his hand and swung it. With a bang, the wine pot was knocked over to the ground and turned around. The servant who was waiting aside looked like this and then stepped forward and picked up the wine pot.

Since the head of the sect returned from the city that day, the temper of the sect has become much more irritable. On weekdays, the people in the Liwu Fort are cautious in front of the sect. Now they are even more timid, afraid that something is wrong will be vented. Needless to say, the servants are not careful, but they don’t even have life.

After Tian Zongguang knocked over the wine pot, he still sat still and looked at Xue Jing in a daze. The servants continued to wait without saying a word. A moment later, a man hurriedly came and saw him in this way and went forward and said, "Brother."

"A Wu is here?" Tian Zongguang didn't even return. The person who came was his younger brother Tian Zongyuan. Tian Zongyuan couldn't bear to say that he would go to his home to have dinner when he saw his brother Xiaose's back.

"Hey, what can I do when I have the New Year's Eve dinner for your family?" Tian Zongguang sighed and waved his hand and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, every family is reunited, what kind of guest is he, a bad old man, who is going to be a guest.

"Brother, my bastards are still waiting to toast. The whole family doesn't say two words. Isn't it just a pair of chopsticks?" Tian Zongyuan stepped forward without saying a word and pulled Tian Zongguang out.

If he had not moved Tian Zongguang on weekdays, Tian Zongyuan would not have been able to pull it. But now he was not thinking about it, and he was evenly matched with the other party.

Tian Zongyuan was anxious when he saw that the other party was not eating or drinking: "Brother, you have to eat some food to cushion your stomach at this time, right?"

"Yilong is still in prison, where can I eat it?" Tian Zongguang was no longer as majestic as the leader of the sect in the past. Tian Zongyuan sighed and saw that the servants were waiting in the distance, and asked if there was any news.

Tian Zongguang shook his head and was about to speak, but saw the butler rushing over. He took a bamboo tube from the other party and pulled out a note of paper. He looked at it in the dim sunset and then twisted his eyebrows.

"How? What's the matter over there?" Tian Zongyuan asked nervously. Tian Zongguang nodded to him and then walked out with great strides: "Let them eat and drink quickly, and do what they do as soon as the time comes!"

......

Xiyang City, Xiyang County Duke Mansion. In the hall, Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen and his wife Yuchi Chifan sat upright on their heads. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were on both sides of the heads. His stepdaughter Yuwen Eying sat next to Yang Lihua.

The eldest son of the nickname Que Ge was held by the wet nurse and sat next to Yang Lihua, while the eldest son of the nickname Jilang was also held by the wet nurse and sat next to Yuchi Chifan. Now the four, three and seven people are immersed in the warm atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After reading for a few days, Yuwen Wen finally named his eldest son Jilang Yuwen Weining, whose name came from Huaideweining in "The Book of Songs? Daya? Ban". It means national peace. Yuchi Chifan was quite satisfied with his son's name.

Yuwen Wen, a modern bachelor, now has relatives, which is also the second New Year's Eve he has spent in this era. After a busy year, he can finally enjoy the warmth of a reunion family.

Zhang Yu, who is usually in the morning, is now drinking with Lin Youdi and others and guards in the mansion. Sima Yang Ji is on duty with the soldiers in the military camp, not Xu Shao, and two good friends, Hao Wu, clinking glasses in the backyard of the state yard, are on duty by the way.

Zhang Dingfa and Liu Caiyun and his wife lived a two-person world by themselves. Wang Yue and Zheng Tong Yisi's family gathered together for fun. Their companion Yuwen Shiwu and most of the new army generals stayed in the military camp outside the city with the soldiers. Some generals and some soldiers were stationed in the city to prevent any changes.

"Come on, this is my new trick. Everyone can try it!" Yuwen Wen said with a smile at the dishes served by the maids. Although there was something in his heart, he did not show it at all.

Yuchi Chifan looked at the food in the plate in front of him and thought for a while and asked, "Is this what my husband said... intestines... intestines?"

Yuwen Wen nodded and said that it was true. This thing was to grind the rice into rice slurry and pour it on an iron plate to heat it to solidify, sprinkle with minced meat, dried tomatoes, pickles, radish, beans and so on and then rolled. The strips were dipped in seasonings and tasted unique.

The thing he mentioned was a snack from the south in later generations, which was absolutely impossible for a second store to make. The reason why he was trying to make this thing was that simple ingredients were ready-made. The New Year’s Eve dinner prepared in the kitchen was all the ordinary dishes. Yu Wenwen was so unique that he wanted to add some tricks.

Yuchi Chifan hesitated and did not move the chopsticks. The knowledgeable former queen mother Yang Lihua was also a little hesitant. Seeing the two "sisters" performing like this, even Xiao Jiuniang did not dare to move the chopsticks, but the little girl Yuwen Eying picked up a piece of rice noodles in front of her and ate it with relish.

"How, is it delicious?" Yuwen Wen asked quite movedly. His wife and concubine were so cautious that he was quite 'cold'. He was relieved by stepdaughter Yuwen Eying. The little girl instantly eliminated her and then replied: "It's delicious!"

The rest of the people who had the road also tried to speak and then found that it was indeed a unique flavor. Yuchi Chifan naturally had to hold the airs of a woman and could not eat it voraciously. The former Queen Mother Yang Lihua's behavior that had been influenced by the court etiquette for nearly ten years was also chewed slowly. Although Xiao Jiuniang grew up in the folk, her family tutoring has not been left behind on weekdays, so she savored it carefully and didn't even have a clear sound.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there are two kinds of flavors, sweet, salty, which one do you like?" Yuwen Wen asked Yuwen Eying with 'bad intentions', sweet, salty disputes are related to the 'national sport' that must start with the baby.

Yuwen Eying just nodded. Yuwen Wen was relieved to see that the efforts he had made for a long time in the kitchen were not in vain. While the family was eating and chatting, the housekeeper Li Sanjiu came to report that someone outside the mansion had a slap in the door and said that there was something important to ask for a meeting.

"Is there something important? Such a coincidence?" Yuwen Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Yuchi Chifan heard that someone came to the door and looked nervous. Yang Lihua was thinking. Xiao Jiuniang was also a little surprised when she saw the appearance of the two sisters.

New Year's Eve is the day when every household reunites. No one wants to use weapons anywhere in the country, so today is naturally a big disaster. Yuwen Wen's new official took office and has burned many local snakes. Some have been wiped out and some have shrunk to wait for the opportunity. Tonight is a good opportunity.

Seeing his wife and concubine worried, he smiled and said he had nothing to do and got up and walked out: "Sanjiu, let him in."

After half a stick of incense, Yuwen Wen met a man knocking on the door and asking for a meeting in the front yard under escort. He recognized the man as an official in the state yamen.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuwen Wen asked with a smile at the person in front of him. It's popular to assassinate the governor alone and the general manager. So he's ready to succeed unless the other party has modern weapons.

The man saw a group of people surrounding him for a moment and said that he accidentally heard a news that tonight the Tian family fort seemed to be mobilizing people to prepare for swords and guns to be dispatched. Yuwen Wen asked where he heard the news that he had a brother-in-law who sold meat and found a man who bought meat. The Tian family said that he had a flowing table in the fort to eat the New Year's Eve dinner in advance.

"This person accidentally let go of his mouth and complained that he would not be reunited at home tonight..."

"What are you doing? Could it be that he is going to seek death? Did Tian Zongguang drink too much?" Yuwen Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

"Encourt, everything that I say is true. Then Tian's actions must be detrimental to the envoy!" The man said anxiously, "Some people in Xiyang City are resentful and may be responsible for Tian's insults!"

"Insider? What kind of wind do you hear?"

......

In the east of Xiyang City, Bahe City on the east bank of Bakou, the people of the Lu clan were eating the flowing water mat noisy. A young man on the west side was looking up at Xiyang City in the twilight.

No, it is the military camp on the east side of Xiyang City, which is just across from Bakou and Xiyang City.

"Mr., don't you go down and have a feast?" asked a man dressed in a literati next to him. "I heard that a few big fish were caught from the lake today, which is rare."

"Sir, this Yuwen Wen is quite interesting. When I was built at the beginning of the year, I thought it was his fort and never thought it would be a military camp." The young man did not take on the next sentence but started a new topic.

"This person's behavior is not inconsistent with the outside world. Now it seems that it is a false news." The scribe answered the question incorrectly.

"That day, he came to visit. Did the sir see any clues?"

"Either heartless or..." The scribe said suddenly, because he didn't know what sentences to describe it more appropriately. Seeing this, the young man sneered and said, "Is it because he was a scheming person?"

The scholar smiled and said there was nothing to say. The young man didn't say much, and looked west again. After a while of silence, he spoke again: "Sir, is the time almost the same?"

"It's almost done."

"It's great, the debt is only a year, and it's time to see the final record tonight."

"Mr. Lang, there is still time left. Why don't you hurry up and eat something first?"
