Before the maid could enter the room to report back, Li Yuhua put down the grapes in her hand when she heard the footsteps and hurried out to welcome her third brother back.
A few scattered snowflakes hung on Mu Anzhi's cloak, which melted in the heat of the room. Seeing Li Yuhua wearing a brocade silk and red coat, Mu Anzhi hurriedly held her arm and walked inside, "It's cold outside, what are you doing out here?
It looks frozen.”
"I'm not cold." Li Yuhua's face was flushed, and the corners of her mouth were stained with some dark grape juice, which made it more moisturized. With her red skirt and jacket, she looked pretty and tight.
Mu Anzhi smiled, "Be careful, don't catch a cold on New Year's Day."
The two of them walked into the inner room as they talked. When Mu Anzhi saw there were grapes on the table, he picked one and ate it first. Li Yuhua patted his hand and said, "You haven't washed your hands yet."
"Grapes don't eat their skins."
Mu Anzhi smiled and went to change into a home-made cotton robe. He stretched out and sat on the couch. The maid carefully placed the foot stove on the couch. Mu Anzhi said to Li Yuhua, "Your Majesty has sealed the seal today, and all the yamen have also
on vacation."
While Li Yuhua was eating the grapes brought back from the palace for her third brother, she told her about what happened at Ci'en Palace, and also about how she spoke for Princess Xin'an. Mu Anzhi was very happy to hear this, "
You are happy."
"The Imperial Grandmother specially left a few of us to ask questions. Of course I said what I had to say." Li Yuhua felt that he was justified. "Anyway, I have said it all. Third brother, you have to speak the same language as me outside."
"This is natural." Mu An said, "I also felt that Prince Hu was not worthy of his position as a county horse, so it was not logical for Princess Xin'an to become a monk. It was Prince Hu who should become a monk. However, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was so prominent that I had no choice but to aggrieve the Princess.
Already."
Li Yuhua smiled and said, "If you ask me, you royal family are no different from us ordinary people. It turns out that it depends on which family has the power, not who has the most authority."
"Many times it's not as good as a common people's home."
Li Yuhua disagreed with this statement, "You have never lived the life of ordinary people. If you live a day, you will know how good it is to live in an emperor's family."
Mu Anzhi's experience was unusual. He only wanted to be born in an emperor's family for the rest of his life. Li Yuhua was a common person who admired power and wealth. She wanted to live in an emperor's family for the rest of her life. Even if she was not born into an emperor's family, she would still marry into an emperor's family.
OK.
Li Yuhua always does things if he doesn't do them, and if he does something, he will do it.
Since she supported Princess Xin'an to become a monk, she did not refuse when Huan Li came to give New Year's gifts. She also specifically inquired about Princess Xin'an's current situation, and asked Huan Li to go to the study to greet Mu Anzhi.
The New Year is coming soon, and the Royal New Year is naturally very lively. Li Yuhua can't bear the New Year's wine. Moreover, she not only goes out to eat, she also has New Year's wine at home to entertain relatives and friends. It is rare for her to have such a lively temperament, and Mu Anzhi eats it.
Even though he was tired of drinking, Li Yuhua was still looking energetic and full of energy.
Dr. Xu rode his own donkey, carrying two jars of roasted chicken and two jars of high-quality Shaohuang, and wandered to the Ministry of Punishments to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Zheng. I don’t know what kind of head this man named Zheng has. He has to stay in the ministry every New Year on duty.
.
Even if the ministry wants to keep a doctor on duty, everyone takes turns. As a result, they all bully this good old man. Everyone has a lot of social activities in their junior year, but the man named Zheng is famous for being lazy in socializing, so even if
When it was someone else's turn, as soon as they begged, the one with the surname Zheng changed.
On New Year's Day, even if you don't go out to socialize, it's better to warm yourself by the hot kang in the house than to be on duty in the cold ministry hall.
Dr. Xu truly felt that he was a great virtuous man who had not been seen in a century, so he came over to see this fool on this new year's day.
When they arrived at the gate, Mr. Xu gave the roast chicken and rice wine to the guards. It was not easy for everyone. They had to be on duty at such a big event. Hearing the guards thanking them repeatedly, Mr. Xu waved his hand and clapped back.
Riding a donkey's ass, he wandered to the room where the Criminal Department was on duty to look for Doctor Zheng.
Doctor Zheng always had the habit of getting up early. He had already had breakfast and was writing papers in front of the window. The window rang three times. When Doctor Zheng looked up, he saw Doctor Xu's smiling face. Doctor Zheng
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, put down his pen and wave to him.
Mr. Xu handed the donkey to the young man to tie it up. He entered the house like an old man with his hands behind his back and swaying roasted chicken and rice wine. He opened his mouth and said, "I'm here to pay New Year greetings, so I need a red envelope!"
"You are one year older than me, so you have the nerve to ask for a red envelope from me." Zheng Langzhong smiled and invited his old friend over, "Why don't you give me a red envelope?"
"Although I'm older than you, I'm younger than you." Mr. Xu shamelessly touched his smooth chin. In order to show his tenderness, Mr. Xu refused to grow a beard even after he was older. It is indeed tender. This one
I was still noisy with Tang Mo when I was young.
Doctor Zheng poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "New Year brings a new year. It's been a year, so it's better to be more steady." He handed the hot tea to him with one hand and a red envelope with the other.
Because they were classmates from the same hometown, Dr. Zheng was often blackmailed by Mr. Xu when he was young. This ridiculous behavior of giving Mr. Xu new year's money even though Mr. Zheng was young actually happened to Mr. Zheng, who was famous for his criminal reputation.
The cheeky Doctor Xu happily accepted the red envelope and glanced around, "Don't tell me, since His Highness arrived at the Criminal Department, you guys are much more respectable than our other three departments."
Zheng Langzhong said, "It's all His Highness' concern."
Mu Anzhi is the kind of person who talks little and does much. Since he took charge of the Criminal Department, everyone in the Criminal Department has changed their guns. He doesn't have much luxury, but just like this small room, it used to be compared to the pig's nest.
, now there is a new layer of cotton sewn on the inside and outside of the quilt, and the cleaning woman comes to replace it every five days. Even the mattress sheet on the bed is the same. There are also used bookcases and clean celadon on the edge of the bed.
The tea set and the black iron stove in the center were polished so brightly that they seemed to reflect the silhouette of a person.
Water was boiling on the stove, and there were a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes on the side. The skin collapsed and the flesh sank. The aroma of sweet potatoes penetrated your nose. Doctor Xu took a piece and asked, "Did you eat sweet potatoes again tonight?"
"I put it on when I changed the charcoal fire in the morning."
Dr. Xu peeled off the soft sweet potato skin, took a big bite and said, "You have a bad appetite, so don't eat this stuff."
Doctor Zheng took out the snack buns and gave them to Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu took a big whiff and said, "This is a palace craft, where did it come from?"
"Your Highness sent it yesterday."
Xu Langzhong still thought it was quite interesting to bring roast chicken and wine. However, who would have thought that at noon, the Third Prince's Mansion sent a food box to Zheng Langzhong. When he opened it, he found six dishes, two soups and two snacks. Come here.
The servant who delivered the food box said, "His Royal Highness said that small restaurants will not be open during the next few days. Large restaurants will only take orders for banquets. Please tell Mr. Zheng not to worry about food. Come back in the evening."
Doctor Zheng quickly thanked His Highness for his kindness.
Grace is a small grace. It is rare to treat a minister with such meticulousness.
Doctor Xu spontaneously put an extra bowl on the table, and brought the roast chicken he had brought to the table. He was stewing the wine and said, "Your Highness, a grown man, would never have thought of being so thoughtful. This must be your Majesty's idea."
Mr. Zheng said, "Isn't it true that the empress also cares about His Highness? It is always Your Highness's grace."
"That's right." Mr. Xu smiled, scalding the wine, and asked Mr. Zheng how much money he had received in the past year. Mr. Zheng was very stern and refused to tell even to the death.
On Doctor Zheng's second day on duty, someone knocked on the grievance drum outside the Criminal Department.
Idle cases are actually not major cases. If they do not fall on the Ministry of Punishments, they usually go to the Imperial Palace first. This case is a major one. The person who beats the drum is not one family but two families. The person being sued is not
He was a civilian, but an official of the fifth rank, and the case involved the Zhou family, which was just concluded at the end of this year. Because he was involved too much and had been involved in the case for too long, the imperial government was unable to cope with it, so he referred it to the Ministry of Punishment.
Originally, they, the subordinate officials, were going to the superior's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Mr. Zheng had to handle both public and private matters at the same time. He had to ask His Highness the Third Highness for instructions on how to handle this case?
When the Zhou family case was concluded years ago, Mu Anzhi expected that the other Zhou family cases would inevitably happen, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and impatient!
Chu Palace.
Princess Xin'an warned her son in a deep voice, "You must meet His Highness Chen San and tell His Highness that about these two families, I know that people have passed by and they have been resettled. In these years, I have not disturbed them. But.
After all these years, I have not been able to find out who was the person who originally placed them. Please pay more attention to these matters, and please be more careful."
"Yes." Huan Li frowned, "Who would cripple Zhou Zhang and pinch these two families like this?"
"There are too many. The enemies of Nan'an Marquis Mansion, your father's enemies, anyone could be there." Princess Xin'an snorted sarcastically, "If I hadn't committed such a sin in the first place, I wouldn't have been able to get hold of anyone.
