Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 287 Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival Lantern Festival
Chapter 287 Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival Lantern Festival
"Grandpa, are you stupid?"
Liu Yichen was shocked and speechless.
"I'm just enjoying it, what's the problem?"
"Grandpa didn't ask you to marry a married man."
Liu Zhenghui glared at Liu Yichen and cursed.
The Liu family is also a big family, so how can a direct descendant be a concubine?
However, Fang Yuan is indeed outstanding. He has such achievements at this age, so it is okay to appreciate him.
Not only to appreciate, but also to look at Fang Yuan with a view of learning, so that he can become even better.
"Oh."
Liu Yichen rolled his eyes and was speechless.
She thought about it, didn't want to stay here, and found an excuse to leave.
"I'm ready to leave too."
"Liu Shangshu, you only have three days, I will come again then."
Fang Yuan also stood up.
Today's goal has been achieved, it's time to leave.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites still need to go there, so we don’t have time to stay here for too long.
"I understand, I'll send you."
Liu Zhenghui stood up and said.
Three days is enough.
If you still can't get it done in three days, then you are incompetent.
Fang Yuan declined Liu Zhenghui's personal gift and left with the others after leaving the hall.
After leaving the Ministry of Punishment, Fang Yuan went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites one after another to reconcile with their ministers.
There are no problems in the Ministry of Rites, but there are some bad debts in the Ministry of War, and Hou Junji, the Minister of War, is not here.
Therefore, Fang Yuan and others spent a long time in the Ministry of War, and even after getting off work in the afternoon, they couldn't finish it, so they finally left it until next time.
After leaving the palace, Fang Yuan stretched and got into the carriage and lay down to rest.
I was indeed a little tired today and fell asleep as soon as I got in the car.
After returning to Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan saw Mo Cailing as soon as he got out of the car and was shocked by her.
"Didn't I ask you to show your face less?"
Fang Yuan looked back at the back door and quickly asked someone to close it.
Before leaving for the Criminal Department, Fang Yuan specially asked someone to check who was wanted by the imperial court.
Among them, Mo Cailing's father, Mo Cailing himself, and the ones Fang Yuan saw in Lishan are all on the wanted list, and the portraits are quite similar.
So Fang Yuan was very surprised to see Mo Cailing right at the door. He was worried that she would be recognized and someone would come to Fang Mansion to check.
"I want to ask you to order someone!"
Mo Cailing said sternly.
She approached Du Miaoyan, but Du Miaoyan disagreed.
I had no choice but to find Fang Yuan, so I just blocked the back door and waited for Fang Yuan.
The carriage at the front entrance cannot go in or out, so when you come back by carriage, you have to go back through the back door.
"What?"
Fang Yuan glanced at her and walked toward the backyard.
"I'm going to Lishan to enter Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum and bring out my father's body!"
Mo Cailing said in a deep voice.
My eyes suddenly felt a little moist.
The thought of her father dying inside to protect her made her extremely uncomfortable.
She understood that a dead person could not be resurrected, but at least he had to settle down and take his body out for burial.
"No."
"Lishan is still under the control of the imperial court."
"And I got news that the imperial court once again sent troops to clear out the Bishamon believers and Tang Ling clan's ink on Lishan Mountain."
Fang Yuan refused directly.
The imperial court is looking for Bishamon and Den Ling clan's ink.
Qi Wang, the fifth surname, also issued Jianghu robbery and murder orders against these two forces.
It would be too dangerous for Mo Cailing to go to Lishan Mountain at this time.
"Isn't it?"
"Does your emperor want to be so disgusting?"
Mo Cailing immediately rolled her eyes.
The eyes suddenly lost their color and became dull.
She knew that she was definitely wanted outside at this time.
If you go out at this time, and you are injured, it will be difficult to evade pursuit.
"Oh, you don't have to feel sad."
"When the news is over, I won't stop you if you want to go."
Fang Yuan sighed and comforted.
"It seems like this is the only way it can be."
"Well, can you arrange something for me to do? I want to divert my attention."
Mo Cailing sighed.
Every time she closes her eyes, she thinks of the situation in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.
My father, classmates, friends, etc. all died inside. It was the nightmare of my life.
"Is your injury okay?"
Fang Yuan looked Mo Cailing up and down.
From the outside, it was obvious that Mo Cailing was injured.
She has changed into clean clothes, wearing red cotton or green clothes.
But Fang Yuan remembered that the doctor said that day that she was seriously injured. Although it was not fatal, it was quite serious.
Will it be overwhelming to find something to do at this time?
"I'm fine, I know my body well."
Mo Cailing shook her head and said firmly.
If she didn't find something to cook, she worried she would go crazy.
"Like this"
"You are also a descendant of the Mohist family. Do you know the art of organization?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and asked.
"I don't understand."
Mo Cailing shook her head and said.
Although she is also from the Mohist family, she does not understand the art of mechanism.
From the very beginning, the three branches of the Mohist family all knew something about each other.
But as time goes by, as life becomes difficult, you can only make a living by focusing more on the work you are doing.
"It's okay if you don't understand."
"You go to the Mohist Research Institute, live on the tenth floor, and do whatever you want."
Fang Yuan made a decision.
The Mohist Research Institute is remote and no one will check there.
But it can only be on the tenth floor, otherwise it will inevitably be discovered by other staff members and reported.
And with the layout of the tenth floor, it should be no problem to treat Mo Cailing's current psychological scars.
"It's okay, remember to arrange some work for me."
Mo Cailing has no objection.
She probably knows the situation of the Mohist Research Institute.
Going to the Mohist Research Institute is better than staying at Fang Yuan’s house.
After all, Fang Yuan is in a high position, so it is possible that people will come to visit occasionally.
Go to the Mojia Institute to cleanse yourself, and you can do whatever you want, or you can relax.
"Don't worry, I will give instructions to you."
Fang Yuan nodded and said.
Afterwards, Fang Yuan and Mo Cailing returned to the backyard.
Fang Mansion has already started cooking dinner, and you can have it when Fang Yuan comes back.
After night, Juzi and others also came back, and Fang Yuan asked him to arrange Mo Cailing's work.
Naturally, Juzi has no objection to this. It would be great if the Mohist Research Institute has experts in charge.
That night, Fang Yuan slept with Du Miaoyan in his arms and talked about the favors he had obtained from Liu Zhenghui today.
"Husband, will this anger Liu Shangshu?"
Du Miaoyan was a little worried.
The consequences of offending a minister are terrible.
The special thing is that now that his father is no longer here, it is difficult to resist their anger.
"Don't be afraid."
"The difference between the minister and the minister is not very big."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
In fact, the difference is huge.
But this huge gap will not bring much trouble to Fang Yuan.
Even if Liu Zhenghui wanted to use his privileges as Minister of Punishment against him, he would still have to get through the emperor's test.
This is the welfare of a fourth-grade member, and it is no longer something anyone can target if they want.
"Okay, husband, please pay attention."
When Du Miaoyan saw this, she said no more.
If Fang Yuan said it's okay, then it's okay. You don't need to worry too much.
If you have something to worry about, you might as well worry about why your stomach hasn’t responded after so long since they got married?
"Hmm, Miaoyan, let's have another baby-making exercise."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Du Miaoyan's heart skipped a beat and her face turned red.
Fortunately, there was no light at night and it was hard to see, so she was not shy enough to cover her face.
More than half a month passed in a flash.
The third year of Zhenguan ended, and the fourth year of Zhenguan arrived.
The New Year of the Tang Dynasty was not solemn, that is, Fang Yuan took the initiative to have a big meal.
The rest of the people are looking forward to the Lantern Festival. Even Mo Cailing, who is at the Mohist Academy, specially returned to Fang Mansion to celebrate the festival.
The Shangyuan Festival is the most solemn festival in the entire Tang Dynasty. Just like the New Year in later generations, everyone looks forward to it.
On this day, the Fang Mansion was decorated with lanterns and the entire city of Chang'an was bustling with activity. Countless people walked out of their homes early to watch the lantern show.
There is no curfew tonight, people will have fun before going back.
"Husband, is this your first time celebrating the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City?"
Du Miaoyan happily tidied Fang Yuan's clothes.
She also wore a very nice dress tonight, and she looked like a fairy.
Even women like Mo Cailing were filled with envy as they watched, staring straight at her.
"Yeah."
"Be sure to take a good look at the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City tonight."
Fang Yuan nodded and said.
I’m also looking forward to the meeting in Chang’an City.
As the imperial capital, the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be extraordinary.
"Du He and Princess Xiangcheng will come over later, and we will set off together then."
Du Miaoyan said.
When it came to Princess Xiangcheng, Du Miaoyan seemed to take a special look at Fang Yuan's expression.
But Fang Yuan looked natural and there was no change in his expression. He also noticed the change in Du Miaoyan's expression.
Seeing Du Miaoyan's behavior, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighing that Du Miaoyan has not forgotten it yet.
However, although he lamented that Du Miaoyan had not forgotten it, when Fang Yuan heard Du Miaoyan mentioning Princess Xiangcheng, he also subconsciously thought of Princess Xiangcheng's body, and his heart swayed.
But this is definitely not allowed to be known to Du Miaoyan.
Even if concubinage is common in this era, Du Miaoyan will not stop it.
However, Princess Xiangcheng’s identity is destined to make her impossible to become Fang Yuan’s concubine, so Du Miaoyan will have objections.
Soon, the sun went down, and the clouds in the sky were particularly beautiful, and the reflection on Chang'an City also looked beautiful.
"Master, Madam, Mr. Du and Princess Xiangcheng are here."
The dog comes in to report.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan understood that it was time to go out.
Mo Cailing put on a disguise and followed Fang Yuan with the red catkins and Qingyao.
Tonight, most people in Fangfu will go out to enjoy the Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City.
"Meet the princess."
Fang Yuan and others went out and saw Princess Xiangcheng at the door.
There are so many people, so you still have to pay attention to etiquette.
Today's Princess Xiangcheng is wearing a pink dress, feeling like her first love.
Coupled with her title as the second most beautiful woman in Chang'an City, there was already a crowd of otakus and resentful women at the door of Fang's Mansion who couldn't take their eyes away from her.
It was only after Du Miaoyan appeared that some of the eyes of these crazy men and women turned to Du Miaoyan, and they were also full of surprises.
"We are all friends today, don't worry about false etiquette."
Princess Xiangcheng smiled and helped Fang Yuan and others.
She looked at Du Miaoyan and nodded cordially.
Du Miaoyan smiled slightly, walked towards Princess Xiangcheng, and held Princess Xiangcheng's hand affectionately.
The two of them took the first step, leaving Fang Yuan behind.
Fang Yuan felt at ease, and he and Ju Zi followed slowly.
Except for Hong Xu Qingyao and Mo Cailing, the others slowly dispersed.
Everyone is free tonight, there is no need to follow Fang Yuan, just have fun.
Soon, night fell, and finally there were not so many people staring at Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng.
The streets were lined with lanterns that were lit up, people were passing by in boats by the river, and lantern riddles were placed on the bridge.
People are walking shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively. From time to time, you can see some people doing acrobatics, and some people guessing lantern riddles and cheering.
Fang Yuan walked slowly among them, admiring the liveliness of this moment, as if he were a spectator, with a unique mood.
"Master, shall we also guess lantern riddles?"
Hongxu and Qinggao walked up to Fang Yuan, pointed at a place and said.
The place was hung with lanterns, and lantern riddles were fished on the lanterns. Many people gathered around to guess the lantern riddles.
It seems that the jackpot is so high that it attracts more people to come and try to see if they can guess it.
"I won't go, you can go."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He has no interest and does not have that level.
Officials of the fourth rank have the pattern of officials of the fourth rank. I don’t want to play lantern riddles anymore.
"If you don't go, we will go."
"Juzi, are you going?"
The red catkin and green woman snorted.
Before leaving, he called the giant next to Fang Yuan.
"Let's go, I want to play too."
The giant laughed and followed Hong Xu Qinggao and Mo Cailing away.
Fang Yuan looked at Juzi in astonishment, not expecting that he would still want to guess lantern riddles at his age.
Shaking his head, Fang Yuan walked around on his own, admiring the rare night view of Chang'an City.
The night of the curfew is the Lantern Festival again, and there is only one such opportunity in a year.
He didn't know how long he had been shopping when Fang Yuan was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and at the same time a scent hit him.
"Princess Xiangcheng?"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised.
But what surprises me is not that Princess Xiangcheng is looking for me.
What’s surprising is why Du Miaoyan is not by Princess Xiangcheng’s side.
"Why are you shopping alone?"
Princess Xiangcheng's face was slightly red and she walked side by side with Fang Yuan.
But because the lantern itself is red, you can't see her blushing.
"They went to guess lantern riddles."
"Why are you yourself, Miaoyan?"
Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"Miaoyan. I only have myself, don't you like it?"
Princess Xiangcheng raised her eyebrows slightly.
She finally plucked up the courage to look at Fang Yuan, her breathing becoming slightly rapid.
"Ahem, that's not what I meant."
Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said.
He felt that Princess Xiangcheng's eyes were a little fiery.
But there were people coming and going at the scene, and I had to worry about being seen by Du Miaoyan.
"Then what do you mean?"
Princess Xiangcheng approached Fang Yuan, and the two got closer.
At this time, a pedestrian accidentally bumped into Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan leaned forward and hugged Princess Xiangcheng.
"I know a place where there is no one. Come with me."
Princess Xiangcheng thought Fang Yuan took the initiative to hug her, and her face became even redder.
She gritted her teeth, broke away from Fang Yuan's arms, took Fang Yuan's hand, and walked in one direction.
After walking left and turning right, the number of pedestrians really decreased, and finally disappeared, while the lanterns also gradually decreased, and finally disappeared.
"You, do you want to do something?"
Princess Xiangcheng said in a low voice.
She stared at Fang Yuan with fiery eyes.
Neither of them noticed that someone was plotting a big event not far from them.
