    Pei Jing brought the cook and servants to help. He Fangzhi set up a banquet on New Year's Eve in the courtyard to offer incense and candles. He and Zhao Hui happily accepted Yu Shu as their goddaughter. From then on, they changed their names and called them godmother and godfather.  Even Pei Jing found a ready-made uncle to cook and couldn't help but smile happily.  Satisfied, Zhao Hui drank the marriage recognition tea from Yu Shujing and gave Yu Shu a jade bracelet heirloomed by their Zhao family on the spot. She was not allowed to refuse, so Yu Shu had to accept it, thinking that Zhao Hui would have a biological daughter in the future.  , she transfers again.  Pei Jing generously gave Yu Shu a gold abacus. He didn¡¯t know where he got it. Each abacus bead was coated with real gold powder. When dialed, it sparkled and looked very beautiful.  He Fangzhi bought twelve jars of Huadiao wine for the occasion and sealed them in the cellar.  The adults did not favor one over the other, and Yu Xiaoxiu also received several gifts. He was not unhappy because Yu Shu recognized her relatives, because he knew in his heart that Aunt Cui would not treat him with care, and she occasionally showed a motherly attitude.  He secretly gave him money to spend. On the other hand, his sister had been beaten and scolded by her mother since she was a child. She had never been treated well, so he was happy for her sister because Zhao Hui, a mother, loved her.  At the dinner table, a real family is now chatting and laughing while eating, without the taboos of a wealthy family.  Pei Jing's wife, Qin, was unable to go to Beijing with them because of illness. Like Granny He, she stayed in Yiyang for the New Year. After He Fangzhi and Pei Jing settled in the capital, they sent letters home together, asking them to go together after the new year.  , packed up his belongings and came to Anling.  It would be March before the whole family could be reunited in the capital, so there were a few relatives missing from the table. As the wine got in full swing, there were inevitably a lot of sighs. Fortunately, with Yu Shu¡¯s lively atmosphere to adjust the atmosphere, we had a peaceful meal.  New Year's Eve dinner.  It was the second watch of the meal, so we took it off and replaced it with soup dishes, rice cakes, crystal dumplings, plum blossom pancakes, candied fruits, lotus sugar, mince balls, longan and melon seeds. Everyone had a bowl of bird's nest porridge, steamed and sweet.  Pei Jing was fine, he ate all this all day long. Yu Shu and his sister had a good life, and they had never seen such exquisite tea snacks. They opened their stomachs to eat tonight, and after the second watch, their bellies were full.  , Jinbao has been greedy for a long time and is lying next to the stove to eat.  Zhao Hui asked Shen¡¯s mother to clean up the guest room and put on clean bedding, leaving Pei Jing to stay the night so that he wouldn¡¯t have to talk to anyone when he went back in the middle of the night.  It is a custom to keep vigil on New Year's Eve, and the people of An Dynasty especially abide by it. They have to stay up until three o'clock in the morning to ensure a safe year. But before the three o'clock in the morning, Yu Xiaoxiu yawned. Yu Shu saw him dozing off, so he asked He Fangzhi for it.  Several strings of firecrackers and two handfuls of candied melon seeds were stuffed into Yu Xiaoxiu's pocket and led him outside to set off the firecrackers.  Zhao Hui hurriedly asked Kidou to follow him with a lantern to prevent them from bumping into each other at night.  There were also children from several families on the street who came out to play. The street was crackling and bustling. As soon as the sparks went out here, the sparks lit up there. It was the first time for Yu Shu to play with these ancient firecrackers. He could clearly see that they were just paper.  The rolled gunpowder powder is tied into a string with thin hemp stems. The long ones have a hundred or ten strands, and the short ones have only forty or fifty.  She saw He Fangzhi lighting it twice in the morning and noon. It was not very powerful, just like throwing a cannon. She was so courageous that she didn't even pick up a bamboo pole. She took the incense to light the fire and even turned it twice in her hand, causing sparks to fly.  When she got up, Yu Xiaoxiu was so frightened that she screamed, but she laughed happily.  "It's almost lost." "Don't be afraid, I'll hold it for you." "Ah, I don't want it." Yu Xiaoxiu is really a quiet child, how could she be naughty? She was chased by Yu Shu in a new dress and ran around in the street with her head in her arms.  , all sleepyheads are gone in the blink of an eye.  Later, as we were playing around, we formed a group with the children nearby. Yu Shu was the oldest and deservedly became the king of children. He led a group of little kids to shoot cannons and catch ghosts, compete in running and jumping high, and even gave out sweets. He took Yu Xiaoxiu along with him.  They ran all over the streets until late at night, when every house came out to look for someone, then they broke up and went back to their homes.  "Xiu, Xiaoyu, you're home." Hearing the shouts of Zhao Hui and He Fangzhi, Yu Shu lit the last firecracker and threw it away. He answered them loudly, took Yu Xiaoxiu's hand, and ran quickly to  A lantern-hung portal in the distance.  Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Yu Shu ushered in her first New Year in the prosperous Da'an.  During the Spring Festival, many officials from Sitian Prison were unable to go home. They lived in Xiyuan with more than 20 Dayi masters who had written this year's examination papers to correct this year's examination papers.  The same test paper needs to be passed through the hands of three people, one of whom will correct errors, the second person will correct it, and the third person will review it. To ensure fairness and accuracy, the examiners who grade the paper are divided into three groups, in different rooms, and do not meet each other.  There is something special this year. The answers to the first subject of Thaumaturgy will be sorted out in detail by the officials and presented to the great mention point for review. Then someone will be sent to notify the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, and servants will be sent to various places to find the missing Prince of Xiang. In addition, the first subject of astrology will be the first subject of the great mention point.  All the test papers for this subject were sent to Taixi Hall where they were personally reviewed by Dati Dian, and the top 100-dollar candidates were selected, without anyone else needing to interfere.  On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a palace banquet, and Datiti returned from the palace at night. He took an eight-person green neon chariot and was escorted back by the palace guards.In the Palace of Taixi, a sealed scroll was delivered from Xiyuan. Two officials were waiting outside the building and announced: "To Taishu, the papers for the thaumaturgy subject have been sorted out overnight. After screening,  There are a total of twenty-seven places where manpower needs to be sent, and there are several comments. I need you to take a look before making a decision. "The lights in Taixi Palace are bright, and above the empty and quiet main hall, there is a white jade case with six feet of silver.  Thousands of bunches of lotus candles and bamboo slips and books are arranged neatly from the east to the west. Behind the case is a person, wearing a beautiful moon gown, a purple shoulder and a black ribbon, holding a long scroll in his hand, listening to the report outside the palace and observing its content.  After a cup of tea, a voice from outside the palace said: "Tai Shu, Mr. Shao Jian, please see me." "Let him come in." Not long after, a man in royal robes bowed his head and entered the palace. The person behind the case waved to him: "Qi Ming  "Come and see." "Yes, Taishu." Standing in front of the table, he pointed the scroll in his hand to the visitor, pointed to the line above, and chuckled: "Look, there are still a few in the exam this year.  The person who is alert is here." The visitor looked at it, his expression did not change, and said: "How do you want to arrange it? Do you need to go down to Dingbo Hall to see the King of Xiang?" "No, since the King of Xiang wants to  Concealing it, it will be useless if you continue to search. He said that if the painting is gone, it is gone. Yesterday, I took advantage of the seven stars to be in harmony and leaked the secret. I watched the sky at night and saw that Da'an's misfortune is now in Anling. I am entering the palace today.  Your Majesty, please be patient and calm. It is the time of year when misfortune is at its worst, causing harm to all relatives and friends. Please let him hide for a while until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the moon is full and full of blessings, Jidu will be safe.  When Xing's popularity weakened, he posted an imperial notice in the city to find the whereabouts of the misfortune. "The visitor said: "There is no portrait, and I don't know what it looks like, how can I find it?" Daji shook his head, rolled up the scroll in his hand, and said calmly:  "I had expected that today would be the day. Three months ago, I asked the Ming Sage to send someone to Longhu Mountain to invite the Ninth Prince to return to the court without disturbing others. I calculated the days and it was time for him to arrive. Why worry about not knowing the voice of the misfortune son?"  Sighing, he said: "Tai Shu Shen is clever and calculating, and he predicts things like a god." "Haha, these flattery words make my ears tired of hearing them, please leave my ears quiet," Dati put down the scroll and asked instead:  "How do you like the astrology paper I asked you to mark for me?" The visitor looked serious, with a hint of disgust between his eyebrows. He walked around the table, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Tai Shu, this year's Dayan Examination  "Someone leaked the question." The people sitting there were still surprised: "Oh? Which subject is it?" "It's the astrology subject." He Fangzhi also has a few old friends in the capital to visit.  Due to Zhao Hui's physical inconvenience, she stayed at home and took Yu Xiaoxiu to visit. Yu Shu made an excuse to go to Huixing Street to visit her neighbors. After Zhao Hui's repeated instructions, she went out alone.  In the first few days of the New Year, there were almost no stalls or people carrying sedans on the streets, so Yu Shu walked.  I got two packets of medicine from Xue Rui before, and used it to soak her hands and feet every day, and then applied snake oil ointment. The effect was strange. After three or four days, the frostbite on her hands and feet was swollen, and she didn¡¯t feel any pain after walking for a while.  Feet hurt.  Arriving at the small courtyard on Huixing Street, Yu Shu opened the door and walked around inside. He found no trace of anyone coming, so he exited and was locking the door when he heard someone behind him ask: "Girl, who are you? Why?  Why do you have the key to this house?" Yu Shu turned his head and saw Aunt Xu across the door wearing brand new clothes, holding a basket and standing at the door looking at her. Looking at her expression, he didn't recognize her. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? She had changed her skirts and put on some rouge in the morning.  Yu Shu thought of Zhou Fangfang and spoke in a softer voice to avoid being recognized by Aunt Xu and thinking that they had not moved out of the capital: "I, this yard was sold to my father. I came to take a look today." Aunt Xu believed it was true.  , nodded, and asked: "Then do you know where the Yu brothers who used to live here moved to?" "I don't know that." Yu Shu smiled at her and turned to leave.  I heard Aunt Xu muttering: "What's the matter? I can't find a messenger." Yu Shu was suspicious, turned around and asked: "Auntie, what did you just say?" Aunt Xu is an outspoken person, and she didn't hide it: "Yes.  Such a thing happened. A few days ago, a lady came to the door and claimed to be the mother of the Yu brothers. I didn¡¯t know whether it was true or not. I saw the anxious look on the lady¡¯s face and wanted to give a message to the Yu brothers.  I don't know where they moved to." When Yu Shu heard this, he guessed that the Ji family was looking for someone, so he looked curious and asked, "What did that lady say?  " Aunt Xu curled her lips and told him in a low voice: "She looked very well dressed, but she was cursing and left without hearing what she said. " Yu Shu was now sure that Aunt Cui was here.  , and tried to trick Aunt Xu into saying a few words, but when she saw that she had nothing to say, she left.   She is too lazy to care about the Ji family's affairs now. They can't find her and can't do anything to her.  Di.
