In the thirteenth year of Zhengxi, the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival was not held as scheduled, and the examination in the early spring of February was also cancelled.

Today's streets are full of white cloth, and in winter, the cold air is filled with chilling chill.That's because a few days after the Spring Festival, the foundation of a country collapsed, and the emperor died at the age of sixty-three.

As soon as the news came out, white cloth was hung in Capital City overnight, all the red and festive lanterns on the street were removed, all officials in Beijing were not allowed to hold any weddings this year, all birthday banquets and wedding banquets were suspended, and white cloth must be hung in the houseTo express condolences, even their families are not allowed to dress up in gorgeous clothes.

The late emperor's heirs were poor. Although there were more than a dozen concubines in the palace, there were only six children, three daughters and three boys.As the successive sons, he overwhelmed the two brothers above him.

Then the new emperor ascended the throne, and everything was waiting to be done.

It is well known that the old emperor's health has been bad, but no one thought that he would die at this time.The situation between North Korea and China was forced to be disrupted.

Wen Yu knew the news the next day.

However, it suddenly occurred to her that many emperors in history died during the Spring Festival, such as Shunzhi, Qianlong, and Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty.There are different folk tales about the death of the emperor during the Spring Festival, but most of them are attributed to the heavy cloudiness in winter.In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because of the low temperature in winter, disease prevention and control, and the weakened immunity of the elderly is easy to aggravate the disease.

The body is really the capital of revolution, Wen Yu once again praised her good habit of exercising frequently.

When the emperor died, it was announced to the world, and the whole country mourned.All imperial examinations were also postponed for one year.

No matter how the court changes, it has nothing to do with the ordinary people. What should be bitter is bitter, and what should be sweet is sweet. Most of the common people don't care about the change of imperial power, and each family can continue to live as it should.

But it is different for students like Wen Yu who went to Beijing to take the exam. This means that they have to go home and take the exam next year, or stay in Capital City for another year, which also means that they need more expenses.

It is impossible for her to live in Wu Ju's house all the time, two months is justifiable, but it is really impolite to live for a year.

In addition, on the day of the Spring Festival, happened to meet Wu Ge's granddaughter, Wu Zhinan, who was only ten years old.From that day on, the little girl would go to the shabby room to report almost every day, looking at her with big eyes blinking, beating and scolding, making her not know what to do.

It's winter, and Daren County, at the junction of the frontier fortress, is in the northernmost part of the Qi Dynasty. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. Now it is the coldest season of the year, and the north wind howls.

The courier at the post station sent it urgently, but when the news of the emperor's death reached here, it was already the end of January.

The living habits of the Tatars on the frontier are different from those of Daqi. Autumn and winter are the most active seasons for their hunting and patrolling.

The frontier general in Jiren County is Yin Xiaoliang, who is in his early forties, and he is patrolling the army at this time.

The generals on the frontier were stationed 20 miles away from Gairen County, close to the Great Wall, and the soldiers on the watchtower were constantly on guard all the time, guarding against whether the Tatar tribes on the opposite side would come.

The most powerful enemy of the Qi Dynasty is the Huns among the Tatars. The other small tribes are scattered and sparse, and the climate is not enough to threaten them. However, the Huns are still a strong nomadic people after several dynasties.

The eldest princess's marriage ten years ago brought a few years of peace, but in recent years, there have been constant and frequent small moves.In addition, the first emperor's concept was that if he could not fight, he would not fight. As a result, the Xiongnu always thought that the Qi Dynasty's troops were exhausted and vulnerable, and they became more and more rampant.

As a veteran who has led the army for more than 20 years, he has fought countless battles with the Huns.When Yin Xiaoliang heard the news, his brows were wrinkled, his chapped lips were tightly pressed together, and his black eyes were full of worry.

However, it is precisely because the Xiongnu conducted a hunting activity that lasted for nearly two months in autumn, which also means that they will not be easily dispatched in winter for several years.

Yin Xiaoliang let out a breath of cold air, looking at the darkness in the distance, his body glowed.If the new emperor had a cowardly temperament, by the time of spring and summer, the enemies who were staring at him would inevitably want to swallow a few mouthfuls of Daqi's meat, and a fierce battle would be inevitable.

Yin Xiaoliang took a bowl of broth from his subordinate and drank it in one gulp.

every new sovereign brings his own courtiers, the change of political rights, the new emperor Xie Yu, although not as weak as the crown, unexpectedly took control of the real power at the time of the old and new changes in the court, within half a month, three court elders "voluntarily" begged for bones,The positions of many officials have been changed, and the means should not be underestimated.

However, Wu Ju, who is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, has always been in the first place and has not been shaken by half. He is actually the head of the cabinet.

In early February, the ice under Capital City's stone arch bridge gradually melted.

Wen Yu had already resigned from Wu Ju at this time, and was looking for a place to rent outside.

Song Duan, who was supposed to leave Beijing after the 15th day of the first lunar month, also put his schedule on hold due to the death of the old emperor.

Song Duan: "Junior brother, if you really plan to move out—"

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness, it's still not troublesome."

Song Duan walked up to her in a few steps: "little brother, why did you refuse me without saying anything?"

Wen Yu smiled at him, after all, how many times you have hinted at me along the way.

"Isn't it good to live in my house? I won't charge you any money."

Wen Yu lightly turned to the side, brushed off his hand on his shoulder, looked at Song Duan, and said with some helplessness in his tone: "I'd better not disturb, if I bump into other people, I won'tAlright. Brother, thank you. But I'm not a child, so you don't have to take care of me like this."

Song Duan didn't care about the lost arm. Instead, he smiled, causing his chest to vibrate, and then he wrapped his arms around her neck and bumped into his arms.

"Your senior brother is a loner. Let's go, the little junior brother who is not a child, I will take you to find a house."

Wen Yu hammered his abdomen with his elbow: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't move your hands or feet."

Song Duan rubbed his stomach with his hands, pretended to be in pain, and grinned: "呵—I didn't expect that my junior brother is not tall, and he is really ruthless. Yes, yes. I knew it a long time ago, you don't like othersTouch you, I will remember next time."

He is so tall, Wen Yu gave him a sideways glance.Such a big person, how can he be so childish.

I don't know which action caught his laugh, and made Song Duan laugh, making people itch, even his body trembled slightly, his hands covered his face, his head was lowered, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Song Duan lightly licked his palate with the tip of his tongue, his eyes narrowed like a smile but not a smile, the little junior brother really fits his personality, like the milky white cat he raised when he was young, so cute, really want to hug himinside

Wen Yu: "Brother, are you okay?"

It can't be sick.

"It's okay." Song Duan's voice was low and trembling, and the corners of his eyes were stained a little red for some reason.

Wen Yu rented a house with a small courtyard, located in the northern part of Capital City, close to the residences of those dignitaries, the law and order is better than other places.

Yaren collected the money and gave the key to Wen Zhen.

Coincidentally, Song Duan's residence is only one mile away, but a ten-minute walk.

February willow, the branches are warped.Everything grows, with the meaning of spring.

It was still dark and gray.It was about 5:30 in the morning, the biological clock for many years made Wen Yu wake up on time, washed her face, slapped her for a while, and exhaled the foul breath in her heart.

Recently, Wen Yu has two headaches. The first is that spring is here, and the clothes are getting thinner. You have to wrap a few more layers of cloth on them to keep your breasts from protruding.solve.

Mainly the second thing, but it's too late to regret it now.

a week ago.

Moving is a big and labor-intensive event. The day after the move, Wen Yu had to go shopping on the street.

Coincidentally, when I met Lin Xiangzhao, the image of her breaking down and crying in front of him suddenly flashed in Wen Yu's mind. The little girl who was dying for love back then, never thought that this girl would really come to Capital Cityup.

"Master Wen, long time no see."

"Miss Lin, long time no see."

Just when Wen Yu thought she should just leave the field like this, Lin Xiangzhao seemed to have made some major decision, trotting to catch up with her from behind.

Wen Yu looked puzzled: "Miss Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Xiangzhao's face gradually turned red, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally choked out a sentence: "Mr. Wen, you. Can I ask you a favor?"

Her eye sockets gradually turned red, her expression was hurt, and she couldn't hide her grief, with tears in her almond eyes.

Wen Yu carefully considered her tone for fear of hurting her, and said softly, "What do you want me to do?"

"On the third day of March, on the day of Shangsi Festival, I would like to invite you to go outing in the countryside."

Wen Yu was dumbfounded: "Girl—"

Do you know what that means.

Afraid that she would refuse, Lin Xiangzhao was in a hurry: "No, no. I don't mean what you think, I just want you to pretend to meet me by chance, I want to see his reaction, I want to know if he willJealous."

'He', Wen Yu pondered for a while and realized that it should refer to Lin Xiangzhao's cousin, and it should be the familiar Mr. Yuan.Seeing Lin Xiangzhao's almost heartbroken expression, Wen Yu couldn't help but soften his heart.

Lin Xiangzhao wiped away her tears viciously, biting her lip until it bleeds: "I just want to give up completely. Mr. Wen, to tell you the truth, I came to Capital City by myself half a year ago despite my father's objection."

"When I was nine years old, I slipped from a rockery and fell down on my knee. I cried for half an hour alone. He was the first to find me. Since then, I have fallen in love with him.It's been eight years, I've secretly liked him for so long, I really don't want to give up."

"Can you help me? Treat it as a chance encounter. You call me by my name when you see me, walk up to me and smile at me. That's all. You don't need to do anything else. Just this one time, it won't hurtI guarantee your reputation. Wen Yu, I know you have a good character, please help me."

At the end, Lin Xiangzhao's voice became hoarse, and he let out a helpless whimper, and tears fell silently from his eyes.

Wen Yu looked at Lin Xiangzhao who was almost fainting, and nodded.

Love makes people so painful, why indulge in it.Wen Yu didn't quite understand.
