Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 176
Shen Qianzhong took one thousand taels and started his career as a shopkeeper.

Before the new year was over, he was looking for sources of goods everywhere, and he was found everywhere in the inner city, outer city, and suburbs of the capital.

Huo Xi was also busy working on her plan.Now that someone helps her run outside, she has more time to start thinking about the future.

Tu Su Meng without revenge, and the night is young.

This year was the first year that Emperor Yongkang entered the imperial city, with newcomers and a new atmosphere, the palace was full of drums and music every day, and there were constant banquets, but Concubine Zhang's Zhongcui Palace was deserted.

She was grounded.

When Mrs. Wang received the news, her heart skipped a beat.

I found Mama Sun, closed the door, and asked, "Is your medicine okay? If you take it, will your body..."

If the emperor made a mistake, even if the master died for saving the emperor, no matter how many contributions Wen Bi made, the whole family would not be able to chop off their heads.

"will not."

Mama Sun swore: "The medicinal primer is that..." Mama Sun gestured downwards, and Mrs. Wang turned her head in disgust.

Mama Sun leaned into Wang's ear: "Whatever you eat, it will help you. The medicine won't hurt people, but at most it won't work."

"If it doesn't work, you still spend a lot of money to buy it! If something happens to Concubine Zhang Gui, see if I can spare your family!"

Mother Sun plopped down on her knees: "The servants and servants are loyal, so they dare not joke about this kind of thing. I heard that many people hugged each other for three years after eating, and Sijiu came here."

Wang glanced at her, thinking of what she had done for herself over the years, she also felt that her family did not have the guts.He ordered: "You ask Sijiu to ask again."

"Can't find that guy."

"How can I not find it?"

"Sijiu said that if he searched again in a few days, the small courtyard was already empty. He searched all over the capital, but he couldn't find anyone. He spent a lot of money to find out that the group of people were there. In the prison, I dare not visit."

"Ah! Why didn't you say this earlier!" Wang's heart was pounding.

Get up and walk around the room, anxious and restless.

There must be something wrong with the medicine.The empress was originally under one person in the harem and above all the concubines, but before the new year was over, a royal concubine was appointed in the palace, and she was asked to help the queen take care of the harem. I heard that she was very favored.

"Mo Mo, I'll write a letter home to Wen Bi." Originally, Wen Bi was going to return to Beijing to take up a post this year, so don't influence him.

Cheng Mansion on the other side.

"Young Master, I heard that Concubine Zhang Guifei has been grounded. Another Royal Concubine was named in the palace, and all the houses sent gifts to the palace to express their congratulations. Do you want to remind Madam?"

In the study, Li Yi and Mu Yan reported.

Emperor Yongkang came to the throne, no matter how much he loves and respects the empress, a group of ministers will advise the emperor to accept the harem.The emperor's harem influenced the entire former dynasty.

Mu Yan was silent, and said, "Let Madam prepare a generous gift for the palace. Also, Uncle is going to work in Beijing soon, go and see if Madam has found a good house."

"Yes."

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Huo Xi was still sleeping when Yang called her up.

"Xi'er, aren't you going to climb the city wall? No matter how late it is, there will be too many people, and I'm afraid you won't be able to squeeze in."

Seeing that Huo Xi couldn't open her eyes, Yang felt a little distressed. Last night, the family went to see the lanterns, and they didn't return until midnight. The child must have not slept enough.

"Or, don't go, let's go next time."

"Mother, I'm going, the next time will have to wait until next year." Huo Xi said in a daze, without opening his eyes, half sat up on the bed.

Fearing that she would be cold, Yang hurriedly surrounded her with a quilt: "Are you really going?"

"go."

"Then get up quickly, your father and uncle are both up."

The ancient people loved to climb high and climb the city walls. Firstly, they could climb high and look far away.

In the previous dynasties, and in non-wartime, the common people could climb the city wall.However, after the Taizu of this dynasty established the dynasty and raised funds to build the city wall, the people were not allowed to climb the city wall, and the city wall became used to defend against the enemy.

Later, there were many complaints from the people, and after suggestions from all the ministers, it was specially allowed that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month every year, the common people could climb the city wall for an outing.

There is also an old saying, "Go to the top of the city to get rid of all kinds of diseases", and every family likes to go to the top of the city to strengthen their feet.

Because it is only once a year.As a result, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month every year, people lining up to climb the city wall can line up for more than ten miles.

Huo Xi has climbed the city wall more than once, but still likes to join in the fun.When I came back from watching the lanterns last night, I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I specially told Yang Shi to wake her up the next day.

After washing up and saying goodbye to Mrs. Yang and Nian'er and going out, the daylight just dawned.

"Brother-in-law, do you want it so early?" Yang Fu looked like he hadn't woken up.

Huo Erhuai took a look at Huo Xi, neither he nor Fu'er had climbed the city wall, and Xi'er said that there would be a lot of people climbing the city wall today, the girl was afraid that they would not be able to catch up, so she woke him up early.

"Your sister is afraid that there will be too many people, so we won't be able to line up."

"No matter how many people there are, so many city gates, this one won't work. If we go to another city, can we still climb?"

"Not all city gates are open" Huo Xi popularized it to him.

"And not only people from the capital like to climb the city wall, but even people from nearby counties and towns will come. We may not be able to climb it if we go late. If there are too many people, the city wall will limit the traffic, so we really can't go up."

Yang Fu immediately woke up: "There are really so many people?"

"There are many." Huo Xi nodded.Putting the hood together with his little hands, he came out for a while, the cold wind made his face numb.

Sure enough, before it was time for a cup of tea, there were more people on the road, and before it was time for another cup of tea, they couldn't move forward.

Yang Fu moved forward with the crowd in a daze, so shocked that if he climbed a city wall, would the whole family move out?

It was time for another cup of tea, and the team completely stopped moving.

"Xi'er, are there so many people every year?" Yang Fu jumped up and down on the spot, straightened his neck and looked forward, but still couldn't see where the line was.

"Well, just a little more. Fortunately, we came out early, and this place is not far from the Stone City Gate. We should be able to board."

Huo Erhuai held Huo Xi's hand tightly, then went to pull Yang Fu, looked around, there were people everywhere, afraid that the two children would be separated.

When the three of them finally climbed the city wall, an hour passed.

"Wow, so there are so many houses in the capital!" Yang Fu just climbed up the city wall and looked into the city from the crenel.

It was also the first time for Huo Erhuai to climb the city wall. The city wall in Beijing is about five or six feet high. From this distance, you can have a panoramic view of every square, city, and street in Beijing.He was so dazed that he forgot to close his mouth.

"Xi'er, Xi'er, look so good! Look over there, it's the inner city, behind this is Mochou Lake, where we live, and over there is Qionghua Lane! Wow! The capital is so big! What a pity, my sister He Nian'er didn't come, and she didn't climb the city wall either!"

"We'll bring them back next year."

"Ah."

The three of them wowed a few times from time to time, as if they had never seen the world, Mu Yan saw this scene from the watchtower, and that disgusted him.

That little liar is wrapped up like a bear, so cold?Wearing so much, could it be that it was carried on the back?Just like this, you have to climb the city wall?Are you not afraid of being crowded out?Tut tut.

His mouth was disgusted, but his eyes followed the family. Seeing the lively appearance of the little liar, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Li Yikaner behind him followed the young master's gaze and saw Huo Xi and the others.It suddenly became clear in my heart.

Just say that their Xipinghou's mansion is on the east side, and they don't want to go to the city gates on the east side. The young master insists on coming to the west city gate early in the morning.

But they are happy if the young master is happy.
