New Year's Eve arrived amidst the sound of sporadic firecrackers.

Lanqiao slept alone on the empty big bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw a vast snow outside the window.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope this is a good omen and everything will go smoothly next year.

Chunxing served him to get up and waited for him to wash up. When he saw Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi walking into the hanging flower door talking and laughing.

Both girls were dressed in great costumes, like two bright beautiful flowers in the flying snow all over the sky, extremely eye-catching.

Feng Yeling saw Lanqiao come out and smiled and said to him: "My husband is really prosperous now. Do you know how many people are waiting outside the door to come in to greet you New Year? They also brought gifts, and the boxes and packages of all sizes are almost filled with all the alleys."

"That's right, our great hero, and he is worthy of the king. He is really red and purple." Hua Yuxi squeezed his eyes and smiled sly, "There are a few boxes that are quite big and look heavy. I don't know if they are girls inside. We will definitely check it out carefully at that time."

Lan Qiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time he was distressed. Now he has made great achievements in the battle of Juyongguan. He is not only loved by the people in Peking, but also has become the target of favor and favor by officials at all levels. It is annoying.

"Receiving visitors is also your daily job. Young Master works hard." Hua Yuxi smiled again and pulled Feng Yeling out again, "Let's go to Uncle Leng's place first."

Lan Feng also went out and continued to prepare for his money shop. Chen Yuheng accompanied Wang Xiaowan to the embroidery room and garment shop. Ben Yali stayed away today, thinking that she was homesick and had no intention of going out to perform again.

Lan Qiao started to meet the guests who came to visit them one by one after another. He asked Zhu Qingxiao to accompany him, and recorded all the gifts in the book. The gifts were stored and sealed after inspection, so as to prepare for the gifts to be returned in the future.

Hua Yuxi unfortunately said that there was a county magistrate named Zhou Fu in the box with a delicate girl with a red ribbon tied in his body. His jurisdiction was at the foot of Yanshan Mountain not far from Juyongguan. I don’t know where to hear that Lanqiao was "so beautiful". He sent a beautiful woman to his favor and tried to curry favor with Lanqiao and said to him a few good words in front of the King of Yan that "protecting the front line in the battle of Juyongguan" and promoted him.

Lan Qiao frowned when she heard this, thinking that this man might have gone to somewhere to hide, but he had the face to say "protect with strength", pointing at the girl and said angrily: "Take her back, this wind must not last."

Zhou Fu retreated reluctantly.

As for the other large boxes that were suspected of containing people, there were all kinds of strange stones inside. Lan Qiao signaled to accept them and Zhu Qingxiao picked up the pen to record.

He received visitors until noon, and Hua Yuxi and Feng Yeling did not come back. He was supposed to stay at Leng Han’s house for dinner with Leng Han, so he cooked a bowl of noodles for Zhu Qingxiao and all the maids in the house. The people all said they didn’t dare to act, but Lan Qiao laughed and said, “Standing in the kitchen, sitting in the hall more freely.”

The two girls Fenghua came back before the beginning. They knew that they were going to go to the Yan Palace for dinner later, so they were busy preparing to wash and dress up again. Zhu Qingxiao also joined them. The three girls were busy for more than an hour before finally getting rid of their work.

But seeing them joining hands, they are all carefully decorated with pink and jade, as if the humans and heavenly beings in the paintings, from their dresses to the details of their accessories everywhere, all reflect their ingenuity and "little tricks" as beautiful women.

The group walked to the entrance of the alley, and a few children were playing shuttlecocks in a circle. If they wanted to get out of the entrance of the alley, they had to disperse them.

Time still has time, Lan Qiao is not in a hurry. He even used a "scorpion swings his tail" when a shuttlecock flew towards him in the air. He kicked the shuttlecock from behind with one foot, and accurately kicked the shuttlecock back to the middle of several children.

When the children saw it, they all knew that he was a master of this. They forced him to join the circle and kicked the shuttlecock with him for another quarter of an hour. Then they ended with the laughter and cheers of Lan Feng, Feng Yeling, Hua Yuxi, Zhu Qingxiao and others.

Before leaving, Hua Yuxi smiled and said, "Xiaoye and I are both proficient in this, but today we are inconvenient to wear, so we didn't show our skills to the young master. Let's get a shuttlecock and play in the yard."

The Yan Prince's Mansion is ten times more grand than the family banquet in Zhang's mansion that day. Not only are the maids and servants wearing newly embroidered auspicious clothes, but windproof red paper palace lanterns are hung everywhere under the eaves of each corridor. As soon as you enter, you can feel a festive atmosphere from the bottom of your heart.

The main hall of the royal palace is very spacious, with four rows of seats on both sides and left and right. Each seat has cups, plates and wine and food, which looks extremely luxurious under the brilliant lights.

There were hundreds of guests from all walks of life who were invited, among which Lanqiao Lan Feng, who thought he was walking with three beauties, was the most eye-catching. Xia Shuang, the maid who followed Feng Yeling to the banquet, saw such a grand scene for the first time. Her little face turned red with excitement, and she kept talking around Feng Yeling.

Ben Yali was also invited to go, but deliberately distanced herself from Lan Qiao Lan Feng and others, giving people a sense of loneliness.

Ling Yufei wanted to go with his wife and children, but he was afraid that the baby would make a joke if he didn't know anything, so he had to keep them at home and go to the city to have a banquet alone.

The seat of King Yan Zhu Di was originally in the middle, and Queen Xu Miaoyun and favorite concubine Zhang Yuting would also be with him. Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu each took one seat, ranking among Zhu Di.

Liu Zongdao, the boss of Zhengdao Money House, was in Peiping and was invited to attend. As the brother-in-law of Queen Ma, he has a high status and sits at a high position after Zhu Gaochi. Bai Xueyin and Zhao Xueying were also assigned to a seat next to Zhu Gaoxu because they were guests from afar.

Zhu Gaoxu was attentive to attract them to the seat and showed excellent demeanor. Many people secretly whispered in secret after watching it. The topic was naturally the "unspoken" behind the second prince of the royal palace's enthusiasm for the white female hero of Tianlian Peak.

The other generals who were familiar with Lanqiao, such as Zhang Fu, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others, also came to the scene and sat in the main hall of the palace, each in order, without any confusion.

There are three tables in Lanqiao's seats. According to the famous brands on the table, he and Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi sat in the middle, Lan Feng sat in the small table on the left, Zhu Qingxiao sat in the right, and the maid Xia Shuang could only sit behind them.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, although his seat was also located in the first row, it was arranged next to his grandfather Liu Zongdao, dressed as a businessman. Liu Zongdao and Lanqiao smiled and greeted each other, but their eyes swept to Hua Yuxi beside Lanqiao from time to time, as if reminding Lanqiao with his eyes. He was still looking forward to completing the "deal" about Hua Yuxi with Lanqiao.

Lan Qiao gritted his teeth and called out "Grandpa", then pulled Fenghua and the other girls to sit down. After sitting down, she deliberately did not look at Liu Zongdao and looked around. She saw several "high-protecting monks" hiding behind the screen. Although Daoyan himself was not present, she knew that he had made the most comprehensive consideration for Zhu Di's safety.

Bai Xueyin and Zhao Xueying's seat happened to face Lanqiao left and right, with an open space of more than ten steps wide in the middle. As soon as they smiled and greeted each other, Zhang Fu hurried towards them.

I thought he was here to talk to Zhu Qingxiao, but he walked to Lanqiao, showed a strange look, and whispered: "The king wants to see you privately, and his wife."

Feng Yeling was stunned, wondering why Zhu Di summoned Lan Qiao alone before the banquet, and called him, nodded slightly, got up with Lan Qiao, and followed Zhang Fu to a small room with bright lights not far away.

Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and Zhang Yuting were all in this small room, which seemed to be the room they were preparing to rest before they officially debuted.

Lan Qiao first knelt down and bowed with Feng Yeling, then clasped his fists and said, "What are the instructions of the king?"

Zhu Di smiled and asked them to calm down: "It's not a big deal, it's just a family matter, I want to talk to you."
