Chapter 320: The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the plum blossoms celebrate the new year

After the Xiaonian banquet, a whole day of conference was held to commend meritorious ministers. This was the first annual commendation meeting for the Prince's Mansion of Longwei County, so the scope of commendation included the 16th year of Zhaowu.

More than 200 people including Chen Luo, Shen Qing, Shi Yong, Hou Xin, Shen Bing, Shi Meng, Shi Gan, Shi Wei, Ma Nan, Xu Tian, ​​Ma Kan and more received the first-class loyalty medal to commend their life and death since they came to the capital, and they never left each other. Each of them received ten glorious points and another bonus of 1,000 taels.

This medal was conquered to more than 300 people who had been killed, and a remembrance of 1,000 taels of memorial pie were distributed.

Chen Luo also received the lifelong honor Medal and was awarded the honor of "Seeing the King, Not to worship" to commend his great contribution in Qin Lei's return to China. He also gave him 100 glorious points and a bonus of 100,000 taels.

Strictly speaking, he was not a member of Qin Lei's mansion, but Qin Lei still gave him the identity of an honorary minister of the government affairs temple, and enjoyed the right to counsel government affairs and share the same salary as Guantao. Chen Luo happily accepted the medals and points, but he refused to accept the prize and the honor of "not worshiping the king". Qin Lei had to give up.

Zhang Jianzhi received the Medal of Excellence in recognition of his great contribution to the establishment of the royal palace during his hard work, overcoming difficulties and struggling during his establishment. He also awarded fifty glorious points and a bonus of 10,000 taels of silver.

Qin Qi, Xue Naiying, Xu Qianshan, Huangfu Zhanwen, Yang Wenyu, Shen Bing, Shen Qing, Shi Yong, Hou Xin, Shi Gan, Xu Tian, ​​Shi Wei and others received the Excellent Service Medal to commend their significant contributions to the royal palace in their respective fields, and awarded ten glorious points and a prize of one thousand taels.

More than 170 people including Shi Meng, Ma Nan, Xu Wei, Chen Qi received the Loyal Service Medal to commend their contributions to the royal palace in their respective fields, and awarded five glorious points and a prize of 500 taels.

More than 500 people received a grand commendation once to commend their outstanding performance in the war in the south. The bonus of two glorious points was 200 taels. More than 300 people who died in the war in the war in the south also received this commendation, and there was another 500 taels of memorial money in addition to the pension.

More than 2,000 people received major collective commendations once to commend their excellent performance in their respective positions, a bonus of glorious points, and a bonus of 100 taels.

The rest of the people received a collective commendation once, with half a glorious point bonus, and their salary doubled that month... The twelfth month is a double-paid month.

In short, everyone was very happy and everyone received rewards. Although there were great differences, even the lowest-grade collective rewards were very generous. Moreover, those who received higher rewards had excellent reasons for winning the award. Others could not say anything strange except envying them.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone said goodbye to the prince, heading north, heading south, and heading south, happily going home for the New Year.

Three thousand soldiers were left to garrison, and Qin Lei also left the Jingshan Camp with a kind of confidant subordinate.

The team turned to the hot spring palace first. After Yun Shang's care, Yongfu gradually gained vitality, so he followed Qin Lei back to Zhongdu.

When I arrived in Beijing, it was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. I went to the palace to worship the Empress Dowager Jin Concubine one by one. When I was about to send Yongfu to Hualinyuan, I was kept by Jin Concubine Jin and asked her to celebrate the New Year together at Jinyu Palace.

When I returned to Qinghe Park, it was already twenty-seven nights. I rested at home for a day, got up in the middle of the night, and got into the sedan chair in a daze to receive the annual torture of ancestor worship. Last year, the wind was warm and the wind was light, but this year it was a cold winter that happened once in 20 years. Under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, a group of dragon sons and grandsons shivered with the northwest wind like a knife. The eight hills were trembling, and many people's noses were frozen into ice.

It was already the hour of Hai when we returned to the palace. We forced ourselves to invite the ancestors and ancestors to return to the palace for the New Year in the Huangcheng Palace, and then everyone returned to their homes.

Even though Qin Lei passed by once, he was prepared and still had been tortured for a long time and did not recover until he was awakened until the 30th afternoon, he was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside the window and came out of the bed.

Ruolan, who was working quietly beside her, quickly put down her needle and thread and came to serve him to dress. Qin Lei said strangely: "Didn't you tell you the night before yesterday to come back after the New Year?"

Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I went home yesterday to see it. My family is now living a richer life than the landlord, so I feel relieved." As she said that, she looked at Qin Lei shyly and said softly, "I am worried that I will feel lonely and panic alone, so I will come back."

Qin Lei smiled with emotion, stretched out his arms to bring Ruolan into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said softly: "You are really the flesh of my heart that I Zhileng Zhire." During the Chinese New Year last year, Qin Lei was very depressed. Ruolan guessed that it was probably because of loneliness, so she said this.

After a while of warmth, Qin Lei smiled and said, "I will go to the palace to attend the old farewell banquet later. You can stay at Shi Meng's house first, help Zhuang Die'er, and meet you when I come back." This year, the old farewell banquet for the royal palace was set up in Shi Meng's house, but there was no choice. Who made Qinghe Garden deserted and unpleasant, and no one else got married?

Ruolan nodded obediently, served Qin Lei wearing complex dresses, and then used food. The winter was short and the sky was already dark. Shi Gan and the guards were waiting outside, so he rushed to Da Nei. Qinghe Garden was still half an hour away from the palace, so he had to set off earlier. Because he entered the palace, Qin Lei called Huang Zhao, the general manager of the mansion, to go on the road. After a year of beating, Huang Zhao became more calm and mature.

Qin Lei asked Huang Zhao, who was serving, to open the window and put the sound of firecrackers and laughter along the way in. He smelled the slightly pungent smell of firecrackers, and his expression was a little intoxicated.

Shi Gan asked softly: "Does this smell good?"

Qin Lei's lips twitched slightly, and he chuckled, "Do you think the flavor of the New Year smell good?" He said with some emotion: "It's different, it's really different."

Shi Gan had no choice but to continue asking, "What's the difference?"

Qin Lei narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Today last year, Sishui followed me and went to the palace to attend the old farewell banquet. At that time, I felt mixed feelings, but I didn't feel like the New Year, which was really uncomfortable."

Shi Gan laughed and said, "How bad was our situation last year? There was no place to gain a foothold when I was run, and no one bought our account. Of course, it was not a good idea."

Qin Lei smiled and shook his head, but did not refute Shi Gan's words. Shi Gan could not make a mistake in understanding, but in addition, it was more because of his sense of belonging that he rarely thought about his original world. As a bachelor orphan, he was more likely to accept his current identity.

In this world, he has parents, although he is not very close to him; he has grandma, although he is a little confused; he has grandpa, although he is too close to him; he has a group of brothers and sisters, although the relationship is very strange; he has several confidants, although this is a source of his big trouble; he has a loyal subordinate, although... well, no, they are all impeccable.

In two years, the marks of the original world have almost disappeared. Now, Qin Lei, from the inside to the outside, is considered a complete prince of the Qin Dynasty.

After passing through the bustling north and south city, the carriage drove to the front of the imperial city. When the guards saw the black tiger-headed king Hui, they hurriedly opened the Antian Gate on the left and welcomed His Highness Weilong into the place.

The carriage stopped behind Tai Chi Hall, and a group of eunuchs quickly came up to curry favor with them, making a lot of auspicious words, Qin Lei was so happy that he laughed, shook his hand and threw out a red envelope, and laughed: "Happy together."

"Vulgar!" Qin Lei was about to get out of the car when he heard a contemptuous word floating towards the north wind. The black guards were furious and looked along the sound and saw a young man wearing a fourth-rank civil servant's dress passing by with disdain on his face.

The Black Guard was about to come forward to get someone, but Qin Lei whispered and said, "What day is today?" The Black Guard then retreated. On New Year's Eve, it is important to be harmonious, so that you can only get promoted and make money next year. Qin Lei also pays great attention to this now.

Although the little eunuchs were all angry, they did not dare to come forward to ask for an explanation. The Qin Dynasty accepted the lessons of the fall of the Tang Dynasty and strictly restricted the eunuchs. Not to mention that there was a fourth-rank censor with a breast embroidered chest, even ordinary seventh-rank officials, they would not dare to contradict each other, otherwise they would be regarded as "arrogant and illegal" and would have to eat at least forty sticks.

The young man saw that he was overwhelming dozens of people from Qin Lei alone, and couldn't help but feel proud. He shook his sleeves and came to Qin Lei, bowing and saying, "Sir, please see the prince, we finally meet again." Although the etiquette was complete, there was no respect.

Qin Lei was not angry either. It seemed that he wanted to make peace and wealth to the end. He smiled and said, "Your surname is your?"

The young man looked stagnant and said awkwardly: "The prince and nobles forget about things, and the right censor Yi Weiluo, have you remembered it?"

Qin Lei still looked puzzled and said, "Don't you behave like a shame, have we ever met? Why don't you have any impression of it?"

The censor who claimed to be Yi Weiluo's expression gradually became terrible, and he said stiffly: "Your Majesty, don't want to play with me, let's take a look." After that, he was about to sway his sleeves and leave.

But Qin Lei asked enthusiastically: "What are you going to do?"

Yi Weiluo said casually without looking back: "Your Majesty gives you a banquet, so the officials will naturally go to the banquet."

Qin Lei sneered and shouted quietly: "Your Majesty gave him a banquet in Tai Chi Hall. Why are you going to the back hall to do it? Do you want to steal it into the Great Inner?"

The eunuchs suddenly understood, and hula went up to surround the Imperial Censor Yi, yelling to take him to see General Zhuo.

Yi Weiluo had no choice but to turn around and explain carefully: "Xiao Guan has gone to change his clothes."

When Qin Lei heard this, he was furious and said, "You don't change your clothes at home and have to go to the big house to change it. What's your intention?"

Yi Weiluo didn't expect that the prince was so idiotic, so he had to change his words: "The lower official has gone out to pay tribute."

Qin Lei sneered and said, "Why should you go to the main entrance when you leave the palace? Run behind you to enter the palace."

Yi Weiluo shouted in his heart: 'God, is there such a big gap between people?' He said disdainfully: "I'll go to the back and defecate, the prince always understands it, right?"

Qin Lei suddenly said, "Isn't it just shit? Why did you leave the palace and change clothes? You were talking in a mess." Yi Weiluo smiled contemptuously and said, "This is the official, it's not. In the future, try to...be more straightforward when talking to the prince."

Qin Lei smiled and nodded, "I remember that there seemed to be toilet buckets in the side hall of Tai Chi Hall," and said with a bad expression: "You are not at the designated location... Change your clothes, run to the back to do something, I think you have bad intentions." The little eunuchs had long seen the arrogant Yushi Yi disliked him, and they all agreed loudly: "That's right, it's obvious that you want to go to the palace to steal!" Then they stepped forward and pushed, trying to search Yushi Yi's body.

But after all, the palace rules are strict, so I dare not really take Yi Weiluo any more.

How could the arrogant and arrogant Yin Shishi Yi be dirty by these little eunuchs? While dodging, he said annoyedly: "It was your eunuch in the palace who said that the Gongshi room wanted to incense and let me come to the toilet later. Why did you blame me for this?" The little eunuchs shouted: "It is impossible. From the day we entered the palace, we will recite the rules in the palace sooner or later. How could we make such a mistake?"

The noise of these people was so loud that the officials in front of the palace were looking at each other. Among them was the chief of Yi Weiluo, the right censor Wang Piyan. Someone joked: "Mr. Wang, does the censor of the Censorate have this hobby?"

Lord Wang turned his head in anger when he heard this, but saw that Qin Lin, who was wearing the clothes of the Dragon Prince, had to take back his threatening eyes and said angrily: "Your Majesty has invited you. I guarantee that it is those eunuchs who frame Lord Yi. If you don't believe it, we will go over and check it."

Qin Lin was quite treacherous. In fact, he didn't believe that the Censor of the Censorate would go to the Great Insider to steal on New Year's Eve. He was about to leave with a few words, but saw one of the eunuchs who looked familiar. He looked closely and couldn't help but smile and said: 'Isn't this the chief supervisor of the Laowu Mansion? It seems that Laowu was involved in this matter.' He was already sure that as long as Qin Lei was involved in it, it would be strange if he didn't make any trouble. Then he smiled and bowed: "Sir, please, it's the New Year. Let's have fun and bet whether Lord Yi has stole the treasures of the Great Insider?"

Everyone laughed and laughed, but no one was willing to go forward to bet, just saying that the court ordered officials to gather to gamble. After all, no one wanted to offend the boss of the Censorate for no reason. Qin Lin asked for boredom and smiled awkwardly: "These officials are obedient to the law, and Xiao Wang admires them."

As he said that, he untied the exquisite copper key from his waist and smiled, "Xiao Wang doesn't have so many rules. I bet with Lord Wang. This is the key to my warehouse. As long as Lord Wang wins, all the things in my warehouse will belong to you."

He was cunning, and it was the key to the warehouse, but it was the key to his grocery warehouse, which was filled with hairy furniture and moldy cloth, and nothing was decent. Even if he lost, he would be the Lord Wang who volunteered to clean up the mansion.

Lord Wang didn't have so many tricks, and thought to himself: "The old man is brave, the second man is wise, the third man is rich, the fourth man is rich, and the fifth man is a bastard." This guy, Curry, is still very active. Thinking of this, he said righteously: "I will thank you for the prince for the victims outside the city."

This year, the north was hit by a locust plague, and the green locusts covered the crops without leaving any links. The three provinces reduced their yields significantly, and some places even lost their yields. When the year of famine comes, refugees will naturally gather in the middle - there will naturally be more opportunities to survive in the best place.

These refugees were originally begging for food or working in the city, and there were also wealthy families who opened porridge shops and served porridge from time to time, but they could barely die.

But as the Chinese New Year was over, in order to allow the people of Zhongdu, or the dignitaries, to have a stable and peaceful Spring Festival and ensure the security of the capital during the festival. As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, Kyoto Prefecture drove out these refugees, not Kyoto household registration, and drove them out in more than ten days to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, basically clearing the whole city.

Anyway, it’s a dead end to go back anyway. It’s better to wait for the New Year and then go back to Zhongdu to make a living. The refugees sleep outside Zhongdu City, lacking food and clothing, and the weather is cold and I don’t know how many refugees are frozen to death.

Qin Lin laughed and said, "What if Lord Wang loses?"

Wang Biyan said proudly: "Impossible."

Qin Lin grinned and said, "You have to place a bet. If you win, it will be no good. Who will bet with you?"

Wang Piyan sneered: "I have said that I should guarantee the reputation of the Censorate. As long as I lose, the Censorate's sign will be given to the prince to go back to burn firewood."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Good, buy it and leave, Lord Wang is not allowed to regret it."

Wang Piyan thrust his neck, looking so angry that he was so angry. He snorted, "I won't regret it." The side was filled with fun, and he laughed and said, "The Third Master is too worried. No one can bear to witness it."
