Chapter 2836 The New Year is Coming

The new year is approaching, and another heavy snowfall is coming, which heralds a good harvest.

The streets and alleys in Chang'an City are crowded with people, and everyone is prosperous. All yamen are dealing with official affairs urgently, and all important matters must be dealt with before the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Otherwise, if there is a delay, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when the office opens, and many major events will be ruined.

People also went out of their homes to buy New Year goods in the east and west cities, as well as various shops and markets. Otherwise, businesses would close down in the next few days, and there would be no place to buy even if you have money.

The entire city of Chang'an was immersed in the excitement of the year before.

The aristocratic families and officials' mansions are also busy. They take stock of the income of the shops and close the accounts after accounting. The money and grain are put into the warehouse and the goods are sealed. The whole house must be thoroughly cleaned to welcome the New Year. The children from other places return home one after another to worship their ancestors in the New Year. If there is no need for those who stay in Gyeonggi, they dare to return to their hometowns along the land and water routes at this time, and the population flow increases.

At the same time, tributes from all the states, counties and vassal states in the world were also continuously transported to the capital. All kinds of gold, agate and rare treasures were piled up in mountains and entered the warehouse of the royal chamberlain.

In particular, the rare objects collected from overseas by the "Eastern Datang Company" were also transported into the palace one by one.

When Princess Changle arrived at Princess Jinyang's palace, she saw that the main hall was filled with all kinds of boxes and cages, many of which had their lids opened, revealing a dazzling array of rare treasures.

When a little maid opened a brocade box, she accidentally tripped over the box under her feet. She stumbled and her hands were unsteady. The brocade box fell to the ground, and dozens of crystal-clear jade-green pearls as big as pigeon eggs fell out. , rolling around on the smooth nanmu floor, suddenly bursting with jewels.

She was so angry that Princess Jinyang, who was wearing a crimson cloud-patterned Shu brocade palace dress, put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet angrily: "What do you do for food? You can't do even the smallest things well. If you break a bead, I have to do it." Hit you! ”

The little maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly put the brocade box aside and knelt on the ground to pick up the beads. However, the beads were round and the floor was smooth and smooth. When they landed, they jumped and rolled around. How could she pick them up in a short time? I crawled around on the ground picking them up one by one, sweating profusely.

Princess Changle walked in just in time. Her face darkened when she saw this. She looked at Princess Jinyang and said, "It was just a mistake. It was not damaged. Why did you lose such a temper?"

Her sister, who had always been gentle and smart, was now so bossy, which made her very dissatisfied. When palace people do something wrong, they have their own rules and punishments, but as a princess, she should be quiet, elegant and calm. Isn't it uneducated to make such a fuss and boss around?

Princess Jinyang was startled, stuck out her tongue, quickly picked up the train of her skirt, trotted over barefoot, hugged Princess Changle's arm, and said coquettishly: "Why are you so angry, sister? My sister is just talking, she doesn't know how to Beat them seriously.”

"You!"

Princess Changle fondly nodded her sister's smooth forehead, and then asked curiously: "Why are so many treasures not sent to the warehouse, but placed in the main hall instead?"

During every year and festival, His Majesty Li Er always bestows all kinds of treasures to his children. Sizi and Xiaoyao, the two youngest legitimate daughters, are deeply doted on. The treasures he always gives are from others. several times, but these things are not suitable for For those who are well-dressed and well-fed, it is normal to see them. Most of them are just happy for a while and then throw them away in the warehouse. They only choose one or two items that they don’t like and put them in the palace, but they have never seen them like Princess Jinyang. These are all placed in the palace.

Princess Jinyang said matter-of-factly: "All the things my father gave me have been sent to the warehouse. These were brought to the palace by my brother-in-law for me to play with, so naturally they must be placed in the palace."

Princess Changle was speechless.

If you say this openly, aren't you afraid that your father will be offended?

At the same time, there is also a deep worry. She naturally knows that Si Zi and Fang Jun have always been close, but it was no problem when they were young. The closer they are, the more harmonious they are. Now that they are getting older, they are about to have haircuts, and it is almost time to talk about marriage. At the age of marriage, no matter how unscrupulous as usual, it is inappropriate.

Look at the piles of rare treasures that Fang Jun brought in for Si Zi to play with in the hall. They are all priceless. The box of Nanzhu scattered on the ground alone is probably worth tens of thousands of yuan...


I can't help but feel sour in my heart. This stick really loves Si Zi, and he didn't give me so many gifts...

Princess Jinyang asked: "Sister is dressed so formally, are you leaving the palace?"

Princess Changle hesitated and nodded.

She was invited by Princess Gaoyang to go to the Fang family's manor in Lishan to soak in the hot springs today. She originally wanted to take Sizi with her, but when she saw the treasures in the palace, she hesitated whether to go with her or not. Let Si Zi and Fang Jun continue to be as close as before?

Princess Jinyang was already excited and said: "Sister, please take me with you. It's so boring to be bored in the palace all day long!"

What else can Princess Changle say? As long as I see my sister's innocent and pitiful eyes as clear as a deer, my heart will turn to water and I will never be cruel again.

Fortunately, Princess Jinyang had already dressed up early in the morning, and now she only needed to put on a snow-white fox fur coat. The two sisters left the palace hand in hand, took a four-wheeled carriage, crossed Baqiao, and headed eastward to Lishan Mountain.

……

Hot springs with a temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius gush out from the spring, steaming up, wrapping the entire body in it, then overflowing from the bathtub, flowing along the drain, and the remaining heat increases the geothermal temperature of the greenhouse outside.

Generally speaking, this kind of water temperature is slightly higher, and extra cold water will be poured in to adjust it. However, Fang Jun is most proud of this kind of water temperature. The boiling hot spring water makes his skin red, and the pores all over his body are opened, and sweat drips. The whole person has a kind of addictive comfort.

After soaking for a while, I stood up and walked out of the pool. I suddenly plunged into a cold pool nearby. The alternation of hot and cold stimulated the skin all over my body to tighten, and instantly cheered up my somewhat lazy spirit.

Wipe off the water droplets on your body, put on cotton underwear, and a round-neck Hufu outside. Let the maid tie up your hair at will. She walked out of the bathroom with her wooden clogs and came to the flower room not far away, sitting on a wicker chair. Make a pot of good tea and sip it slowly, making your whole body feel refreshed and refreshed.

Sunlight shines in from the glass ceiling above the head, and all kinds of flowers and trees are lush and green, which contrasts with the snow-covered scene outside the walls inlaid with glass. There is a table next to a banana tree, and Wu Mei Niang is taking a golden Shengman kept flipping through a stack of more than a dozen account books and drafting a gift list for the New Year.

Both of them were wearing light gauze clothes, one was charming and delicate, the other was full of youth. Their two pairs of snow-white and slender bare feet were wearing wooden clogs, which gave them a fascinating charm.

There was chatter and laughter behind him.

Fang Jun turned around and saw Princess Gaoyang, sisters Changle and Jinyang walking out of the bathroom on the other side. They were also wearing wooden clogs and thin gauze clothes, and their three fair faces were steamed by the hot spring water. White and rosy, moist and tender.

When Princess Jinyang saw Fang Jun, she immediately separated from her two sisters and trotted over to sit next to Fang Jun. Probably because the heat in her body had not dissipated, her pretty face turned bright red and she slapped her face with her plain white hands. He fanned himself, opened his ruddy mouth slightly, and reached out his hand to pick up some tea on the coffee table. He picked up an ice-cold apple and put it into his mouth. The cool and sweet pulp entered his mouth. He narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. He followed Fang Jun's example and slumped down on the wicker chair. His pair of beautiful slender feet simply kicked off their clogs and stood up like that. , flashing in front of Fang Jun's eyes, somewhat dazzling.

Fang Jun:......

This girl has not yet grown in stature, but she has the charm of "a little lotus showing its sharp corners". She has a slender figure and beautiful eyebrows, and she is already a little beauty.

Inexplicably, Fang Jun felt a little emotional and a little lost, as if something had gone with the wind and would never return.

She is no longer the little girl who could put her feet deep into his bed to warm her feet...

Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle walked over slowly. Princess Changle was a little dissatisfied when she saw Princess Jinyang's "romantic" appearance, especially when she saw this girl slumped on the wicker chair so defenselessly, with her skirt randomly wrinkled. He stood up, revealing a section of his slender, white calves, and his little feet were still swaying. He didn't care at all that there was a man sitting next to him...

"My majestic princess, what's the difference between sitting down and not sitting down?"

He walked forward and patted the girl gently.

"Ah!"

Princess Jinyang reluctantly stood up and sat up straight, muttering: "Brother-in-law is not an outsider, what do you want from those rules?"

Even though he said this, he didn't dare to disobey at all. (End of chapter)
