In the wind and snow, a group of people came slowly from the distant mountains. The big man at the head opened his coat and let the wind and snow blow on his chest. His body seemed to be made of steel, and his tiger skin hat was buckled crookedly. Above his head, following him was an old man with a terrifying scar on his face. He wrapped himself tightly in a leather robe, as if he was not used to the severe cold in the north. In the carriage behind him was a charming man. The woman stuck her head out of the car window and looked at the vast white land of Guanzhong in novelty.
"Zhong Jian, entering Guanzhong is Yun Ye's territory. I am very worried that he will suddenly attack. These nobles are the most shameless. I don't understand why you risked going ashore?"
The old man has asked this question no less than ten times. As a pirate, he is born with a great fear of Chang'an.
The leading man laughed and said: "Old Hu, in Yangzhou and Lingnan you can indeed see the shamelessness of nobles, but after entering Guanzhong, they are the most law-abiding and good people in the world. You are right, they are indeed He is the most shameless person, doing one thing in front of others and another behind his back. But in the Tang Dynasty, I, Zhang Zhongjian, am also a law-abiding and good citizen. What can he do to me? Although I have killed many people, I have not stained the blood of the Tang people. The ship has been favored by us, and they also hope that I can dominate that sea area.
What's more, my eldest brother is Li Jing, and Yun Ye will call him uncle when he sees him, for fear of what he will do. I even want to take you to Yun's house for a feast, grandma's, and you will never forget the food at his house for the rest of your life. Don't fall off. "
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjian finally gave up, Hutonghai felt relieved. The sea area of ????the cannibals has been very difficult to deal with recently. The cannibals, Ceylonese, and those damn Koreans, and the Japanese are all eyeing that rich land. The sea area has caused raging wars at sea. The Lingnan Navy controls the strait to watch the excitement. As long as they don't enter the strait, the two have nothing to do. Pirates who enter the strait will only die.
Everyone else has naval bases, only the Qiubeards and the others do not. Although those slaves fight bravely and are not afraid of death, the loss of a warship means one less warship. In this game of the sea, the Qiubeards gradually fall at a disadvantage. Gaoyangzi even teamed up with the big cannibals and the Ceylonese to wipe out the Qiubeards in one fell swoop. Under such circumstances, the Qiubeards had no foreign aid and were bound to lose. For the sake of the fate of a large group of pirates, the Qiubeards placed the pirates on a secret island. , I plan to go to Chang'an to meet with Li Jing, hoping to get some support.
Hu Tonghai was supposed to stay and control his subordinates, but the bearded man didn't care. His subordinates were all homeless. No one would take them in except himself, so he was very relieved to sit down with his most elite subordinates. The merchant ship entered the South China Sea. Apart from this, the most important thing is that he wants to keep Hutonghai by his side. Only in this way can he ensure that his pirate group will not mutiny. He does not want to experience the tragedy of brotherhood again, even if the pirate group No more, and he didn't want to be betrayed again.
It was not an easy task for such a group of people to cross the state, but with the caravan of Li Jing's family as cover, there were hundreds of Hu people, so no one pursued them because the guarantor was Li Jing.
When entering Guanzhong, the bearded guests remembered that it was already the end of the New Year. In previous years, when they were floating on the sea, there was no concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Only when they saw the newly replaced peach charms in every household did they remember that it was already the New Year.
There was no one on the Ba Bridge. The willows on both sides had been broken down by the farewell people. Two strong horses came over the Ba Bridge, one black and one red, but they were not Li Jinghongfu.
Unable to wait for the horse to stop, Li Jing jumped off the horse, stretched out his arms and hugged the bearded man who was already waiting for him. Hong Fu also jumped off the horse, waited for the two of them to hug, and then happily saluted the beard man: " How is your second brother always?"
The bearded man grabbed Li Jing's hand and said tremblingly: "Anhao, Anhao"
There were also many guests in the Yun family. Han Cai left with Hannu, but Xitong came with his son. Shan Ying also took Daya and his two children back to Chang'an to visit relatives. Li An wanted to pay homage to his grandfather, He also brought Shi back to Chang'an. This year, all the kings and princes who are away will return to Beijing. The Li family will prepare for large-scale sacrificial activities. The imperial court's suburban sacrificial rituals will also be held after the beginning of spring. Sacrifice is now the most important court activity in the Tang Dynasty.
Ronghuanu also rushed back to Chang'an from Luoyang. Instead of staying at the Yun family, she lived in a post house provided by Honglu Temple. Her activities in Luoyang finally won her the status of an official envoy.
The New Year gift given to the Yun family was very shabby. It was just a tapestry. The craftsmanship was not even up to par. The butler took it and put it in the warehouse. The owner would not use such a rough thing.
There were a lot of polar bear skins this year. Shan Ying, Xi Tong and his son took a trip to the north and saw the sea of ??heat and the aurora. Only then did Xi Tong understand that the aurora appears every year and is not Tian Xiangzi. As I thought, the aurora only existed because I came to the North Pole.
becauseThis time, the purpose was very clear and the preparations were sufficient. Shan Ying and Xitong hunted a lot of white bears in the Arctic. They captured a strange animal with big horns and used it as labor to transport the precious furs back from the snowfield. Xitong, who was wealthy, would naturally come to Chang'an to sell furs. Soon, countless white-fluffed guys appeared in Chang'an. It was the fur of white bears that was worn on the nobles' bodies.
Yun Ye didn't want the skin of the white bear. He kept the moose. The milk of the moose is said to be the supreme nutrition. The people he is friends with are all elderly people who need these things very much. These old people Everyone is the treasure of the Yun family, how dare you lose one of them so easily.
He collects the best nutritional supplements from all over the world, just hoping to keep these old guys for a few more years, because there are too many old guys who have left in the past few years, and they can no longer afford to lose them. Lao Cheng and the others have already automatically Became an old man.
"Master Hou, the bearded man has come to Beijing. Should we arrest him again and send him to an even more desolate island?" Liu Jinbao came here to report this matter.
"No, arresting people in Chang'an will make Li Jing go crazy. Let's just pretend that we don't know. This is Chang'an and not Lingnan. We shouldn't make ourselves uncomfortable during the Chinese New Year."
Yun Ye and Xin Yue are drawing up a list of New Year's gifts. They don't have to give them to Li Yuan this year, which saves the Yun family a lot of money. Lao Qian's family reported the numbers one by one, and Yun Ye's family wrote each one. They didn't finish it all morning. Yun Ye Ye was a little irritated. If this continues, most of the nobles will need to be taken care of.
"Husband, please don't be impatient. No one else can ask for a relationship like this. There are not many people who have the patience to write." Xin Yue has already discovered that her husband is lazy, and there are fewer and fewer words on the name card.
"It's enough for me to have both names. Why do I need to have both names for my birthday? I'll accept the etiquette given to the royal family and elders if they are more thoughtful. Old man Wei Zheng has tricked me countless times. Does such a guy also want to give gifts? Why?"
Xin Yue rubbed Yun Ye's wrists and encouraged him: "They are all your colleagues. It's unjustifiable to give it to others but not to the Wei family. It's just a small friction. You can forgive him as an adult. The Wei family is so poor that they can't open the pot." , just do good deeds at that time, the Wei family can only accept a few annual gifts, there are only so many households."
Hearing that Xin Yue said that the Wei family was pitiful, Yun Ye nodded with satisfaction. It would be great if Wei Zheng said so in person. For a small amount of money, just pack more items.
Other families go to their elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so Yun Ye needs to take the whole family into the palace. At dusk that day, Ling Ding is not eligible to go, and all the children must be brought. Da Ya is not eligible to marry, and Xiao Ya is not eligible to go. Wearing her favorite red dress, she happily went to see Concubine Yin.
Li Er's family was so big that as a New Year's gift, Li Er didn't even look at Yun Ye. He pointed to the side hall and asked him to sit with his sons-in-law. He happily took Yun Shou's fat hand and asked questions. West.
"Another person came to dine in the side hall," Changsun Chong squatted on the soft couch and greeted Yun Ye in a sinister manner.
¡°The royal son-in-law is worse than a dog, you just have to bear with the bug.¡± Yun Ye retorted.
"A dog's mouth cannot speak human words. You think you are not the royal son-in-law. The eldest child is twelve years old and the youngest is five years old. You have more children than me, a real son-in-law, and you have the nerve to laugh at others." "Xiao is the oldest, and he is the boss in this situation. He smiled and cursed and handed Yun Ye a glass of wine.
"It's just that my brothers didn't have the ability to make the princess a mistress. They deserved to be laughed at. Speaking of which, Xiaoye, you weren't kind enough back then. Why didn't you tell us such a clever method? Let's also tell them. The princess married the earth king, then killed the earth king, and finally hooked up with the princess and became an adulterer. This way, she had all the honors. Only being such a consort was enough. Unlike now, she has to live in the princess's house. , Sometimes I can¡¯t figure out whether the princess marries us or we marry the princess.¡± Tang Yoshi was very strictly disciplined by Princess Yuzhang, so he drank two glasses of wine and complained.
"There's no way to say it. Marrying a princess is not called marriage, it's called Shang. Even if we are marrying a princess, Xiaoye still understands this word Shang thoroughly. My brothers all understood it wrong. They all deserve today."
They were all carrying burdens, and they had no scruples when speaking. Cheng Chumo jumped out to help Yun Ye and said, "Drink well, and don't complain a few words during the Chinese New Year. We are all in the main hall. If you hear me, Old Cheng It doesn¡¯t matter, the timid ones will suffer, don¡¯t think about making it difficult for yourself during the Chinese New Year. If you want to brag nonsense, leave the palace, it¡¯s not too late for Yan to come upstairs and brag.¡±
Chai Lingwu went out to look at the main hall and said to a group of people in annoyance: "Why is it not over yet? It was already over at this time last year. How can we have so many words to say this year? It is only right to send the princess home and let us go play."
Yun Ye grabbed Chai Lingwu and asked him to sit down. He smiled bitterly and said, "There will be a big sacrifice this year, and your majesty and ladies will have a lot of sacrifices."If you have to explain to your own daughter, you will naturally talk a lot, so we worthless sons-in-law should wait a little longer. "
