Order of Heaven

When Yueyin left Qianzhou and returned to Yizhou, the original fresh and elegant water towns had already been decorated with lights, and the flavor became stronger. As soon as Yueyin entered the city gate, he could feel the flavor of the year.

"Hello, Master!"

"The young master is back!"

Yue Yin handed over the horse to Xiao Si, shook his cloak, and went to the gate. The maids and servants who were cleaning the gate and the road all stopped their work to say hello to Yue Yin.

Yue Yin nodded to them with a smile and went straight to the main courtyard. He had been away for a while, and when he came back, he had to say hello to his parents first, so as not to worry them.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Nanny Hua saw him sharp-eyed, and shouted into the room: "Ma'am, the young master is back!" Yin welcomes in.

"Yin'er, you're back." He Caixi stepped forward with a smile, took Yue Yin's hand as usual and walked inside.

"Mother, where's dad?" Yue Yin followed He Caixi into the Nuan Pavilion and sat on the cushion.

"Look at your hands are cold," He Caixi sat on the other side and said to Madam Hua, "Make the charcoal fire hotter."

"It's okay mother, I just came in from the outside, it will be fine in a while." Yue Yin knew that his mother loved him so much all the time, but he could still bear the cold.

"Your father is busy in the wine shop, he probably won't be back until evening, you should stay here to warm up for a while." He Caixi said.

"It's about this time, isn't the business of the wine shop over yet?" Yue Yin remembered that the business received by the wine shop should be almost handled at this time. After all, everyone would buy everything for the New Year in advance, so Waiting for New Year's Eve.

"This year is a little different. It is said that the wine was picked up from the palace. Today your father went to prepare the last batch of wine in person and sent it to the palace." He Caixi explained.

"Inside the palace?" Yue Yin knew that his father didn't like dealing with the palace, so what's going on?

"Yes, this is the last batch. Your dad can rest after he's done working." He Caixi smiled when he said this.

Yue Yin also smiled, and didn't ask any more. Mother never cared much about the wine shop, so I'd better wait for my father to come back and ask.

When Yue Yin went back to his Qianfeng Residence, he passed by the Treading Pavilion. At this time, the Treading Pavilion was not as empty as when the palace was just left. There were people coming and going to clean it, in order to welcome the new year.

Yue Yin glanced in from the gate of the courtyard, he remembered that Gong Que liked to sit at the stone table under the big tree and drink tea, now that Gong Que was gone, the leaves of that tree were almost gone.

For no reason, Yue Yin began to miss the palace, although they had only been separated for a few days, but the longing always came suddenly and violently, he did not enter the courtyard, but returned to Qianfengju.

The cold wind was mixed with low music, blowing from the Qianfeng Residence, and spread to the nearby Treading Pavilion.

Yue Yin sat in front of the window, took out the xun given to him by Gong Que, and played the tune slowly.The tunes played with the Xun are always slightly cool, and Yue Yin blew almost unconsciously, fragments related to the palace flashed through his mind from time to time.

Recalling the scene when he and Gong Que toured the Lake, Yu Yin couldn't help laughing, stopped blowing the xun, closed the window, went to the soft couch and lay down.

Yue Yin had ordered the servant girl to notify him when the master came back, but now she saw that the master had returned, but she didn't know whether to wake him up.

When she went in, she saw her young master lying on a soft couch, dressed in moon white, fast asleep.

"Less—" Just when she was about to call out, Fu Sheng suddenly rushed in from the door. Just as she called out the word "Yue", she was startled by the maid in the room. He didn't expect that there was another person in the room. personal.

The maid didn't expect Young Master Fu to appear suddenly, she was even more shocked than Fu Sheng, the two of them scared each other and woke Yue Yin up.

Yue Yin opened his sleepy eyes, and saw two staring people standing in his room, and immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing that Yue Yin had woken up, the servant girl turned around and said, "Young Master, Master has returned."

"Okay, I see, you go down." Yue Yin sent her out with a smile.

"Brother Yue! You're still laughing!" Fu Sheng walked a few steps up to Yue Yin's collapse, and pinched Yue Yin's neck with his hands.

After laughing for a while, Yue Yin woke up completely, pushed Fu Sheng's hand away and sat up: "You said you are not young anymore, why are you still so reckless, you scare people."

Fu Sheng puffed up and sat in the place where Yueyin made way: "You started to train me again, you like to train me more than my brother."

"Well, I won't talk about it." Yue Yin straightened his robe, "Brother-in-law is busy, otherwise it would be my turn to talk about it."

"You're busy too. I don't know where you're going to be happy during this time, and you won't take me with you." Fu Sheng folded his arms and sat down angrily.

Yue Yin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this sentence: "You said you didn't enjoy going to Chenzhou by yourself?"

Fu Sheng thought about it for a while and thought it was true. In fact, Yueyin was always very busy this year and didn't often take him out to play, but he didn't take him out this time, so he got a little tempered.

"Okay, I really had a good time in Chenzhou, brother Yue, where did you go?" Fu Sheng came over again.

"Brother Yue Yue, I'm going out to do business." Yue Yin stood up, "Let's go, go to my mother's place, you haven't come for a long time."

"Well! I miss my Aunt He too." Fu Sheng got up and followed Yue Yin and went out, "Brother Yue, is there anything interesting about you going out this time? Tell me about it."

"No." Yue Yin strode forward, it's a matter of life and death, what's the fun.

"Okay——" Fu Sheng chased after Yue Yin, "Then where have you been, tell me."

"I'm going to look for your big brother Gong." Yue Yin replied helplessly, every time he went out without taking him, he would chase after him and ask non-stop after he came back. After so many years, nothing has changed.

"You went to see Big Brother Gong and didn't tell me!" Fu Sheng chased after him and shouted loudly in front of Yue Yin.

"Didn't you also look for your little bell?" Yue Yin jokingly walked around Fu Sheng.

"I—" As soon as Yue Yin said this, he remembered that when he was in Chenzhou, Quan Ling was clinging to him almost every day, so that everyone knew about the incident between the two of them, and he blushed a little.

"I was also accompanying my brother to do business!" Fu Sheng said loudly from behind.

"All right, all right, you're going to do business." Yue Yin laughed as he walked.

"Hey, brother Yue, wait for me!" Seeing Yue Yin turning a corner, Fu Sheng trotted after him.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the main courtyard. The courtyard was brightly lit, and everyone felt warm once they entered.

Seeing that Fu Sheng was also here, He Caixi immediately dragged him to talk. He heard about him and Quan Ling a few days ago, and even asked questions about this and that, completely leaving the father and son alone. .

Yue Yin and Yue Zhengming looked at each other helplessly and smiled, and went to the side study.

"How about Yin'er going to Qianzhou this time?" Yue Zhengming sat down and asked.

"There is no danger." Yue Yin poured a cup of tea for Yue Zhengming and himself.

"That's good. I heard that Gong Que's child has solved another big case?" Yue Zhengming took a sip of Yue Yin's tea.

"It can be regarded as a solution to the predicament of Qianzhou." Yue Yin said roughly, and did not intend to say anything more in-depth.

"In the situation between you and Gongque, you always get together less and leave more. Now there are undercurrents in the court. I'm afraid the situation of Gongque is not safe. I don't know if it's good or bad to be so sharp now." Yue Zhengming was a little worried, Yue Yin made up his mind to go that way with Gong Que, so he had to think more, after all, he came out of that vortex, and knew how dangerous it was and how difficult it was to be alone.

"It's okay, I believe we can handle it." Yue Yin smiled.

"That would be the best." Yue Zhengming nodded.

"Today, I heard from my mother that the palace wants to buy wine from our Zuixianfang?" Yue Yin asked.

"Yes, I learned about it when I went to Chenzhou to participate in the Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, and I don't know what the wind is blowing this year." Yue Zhengming said.

"Father, do you think there will be any problems here?" Yue Yin always felt that this matter was not simple, probably because he knew that the fourth prince had been coveting the heavenly decree of their trespass, so he was very cautious in everything involving the royal family.

"Father doesn't know either, but the wines that are brought in are all checked by Father himself, so nothing should happen, Yin'er don't worry." Yue Zhengming said.

"Well, Dad, you have worked hard." Yue Yin said and refilled a cup of tea for Yue Zhengming.

A few days passed in a flash, and the long-awaited New Year's Eve finally arrived.

That night, every family gathered together, and the inside and outside of the house were also decorated with joy. The continuous sound of firecrackers was mixed with laughter and everyone's wishes for the new year.

Red lanterns were hung all over the Yue Mansion, and the bright red lights reflected on everyone's faces, making them look even more joyful.Every year during the Chinese New Year in Yuefu, several tables will be set up. There are all kinds of mouth-watering delicacies on the table, and there is also a jar of fragrant wine next to it.The table at the main seat in the hall is for the master of the Yue Mansion, and several tables below are for the servants of the mansion.

This year, Yue Ge married into the Fu family, and the only ones who sat at the table with Yue Zhengming and his wife were Yue Yin, the housekeeper Li Rong who specially asked them to sit up, and the mother Hua Jinyi.The Yue family has always treated their servants very generously. Not only did they usually pay more, but they also gave them extra money to send home during festivals, and everyone had a seat on New Year's Eve.

After Yue Zhengming said that the banquet was open, everyone was free to eat, drink, talk and laugh.When it was time to get excited, some people started toasting to the main table, and they didn't stop the more clanging, and the people who came to the front laughed and sighed indifferently.Most of those people said some words of gratitude to Yue Zhengming, and attached their most sincere New Year wishes, and the whole hall was very lively for a while.

Yue Yin naturally drank a lot at this time, it was rare to be so happy, and no one would worry about how it would end after drinking too much.When a lively New Year's Eve dinner was coming to an end, suddenly a heavy snow fell in the yard, and the maid sitting near the door saw it and exclaimed in surprise: "It's snowing!"

For a while, everyone put down their wine glasses and squeezed to the door to watch the pure white snowflakes fall and land on the glowing red ground.Tonight is to watch the New Year's Eve anyway, He Caixi saw that everyone's interest was so high, so he simply let them all play in the yard, after all, this is also the first heavy snow this year.

The maids and servants who got the permission all ran to the yard cheering, feeling the beauty of the snow for themselves, and because they drank wine, they didn't feel cold at all.When the snow piled up, they each held snowballs and had a snowball fight, or piled up cute little snowdrifts with animal shapes.

Yue Zhengming and He Caixi also put on their cloaks and went to the corridor, looking at the fluttering snow illuminated by the red lanterns, while speaking their own words.

Yue Yin looked at his father and mother's qin and se and singing, so it was not easy to go and disturb him, so he took a jar of his favorite peach blossoms and sat down in the pavilion drunk, watching them play and slapstick, while drinking, he didn't care Those flakes of snow falling on the body.

While drinking, a pigeon as white as snow flew to his feet, fluttered its wings, and shook off the white snow.

Yue Yin put down the wine jar, sat up and gently grabbed the pigeon, found a small bamboo tube on his feet, opened it and saw a letter rolled into a small roll.

Needless to say, this was a letter from Gong Que from Chenzhou to himself, Yue Yin narrowed his eyes and smiled as he opened it.

Snowing.

Yin, I miss you so much.

There are only two lines, one sentence I miss you so much.

Yue Yin held the letter in his hand, looked up at the snow that was still falling, feeling warm in his heart.

It turned out to be snowing.

Me too, miss you so much.

Yue Yin picked up the wine jar and took a sip of the wine, then threw it aside, picked up a branch of plum blossom, went to the courtyard and danced with the branch as a sword.

Plum blossoms are undercurrent, and snowflakes are flying.
