The wet snowflakes slowly fell, at first just a few thin pieces of fluff, flying in the air, falling slowly. There was only a thin layer on the ground, and it quickly melted and moistened the ground.

It was almost dusk, and a group of carriages and horses were moving slowly, gradually approaching the heroic city that appeared in the distance.

Looking at the familiar and hazy city, Wu Song swallowed hard. If it weren't for his own Alang, he would have run away.

Xu Qilin was also very anxious, but he was still tense, pursing his lips slightly, showing his emotions of joy and excitement.

After walking for so long, I went to so many places, and I packed several large cages from various local specialties and novel games. There were also fragile glass on the car, and the precious sword dedicated to His Majesty Li Er was supposed to be back with a full load.

Calculate the time, the New Year is about to be celebrated in eight days, and I’m just now. I’m ready to prepare and arrange the first Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty!

Well, it is not called the Spring Festival. The Tang Dynasty did not say "Spring Festival". Because the Tang Dynasty only had the lunar calendar, the first day of the Lunar New Year is called "New Year's Day", "New Year's Day", "Yuanzheng" or "Year Day".

So, the holiday will take three days to start, and Xu Qilin couldn't help laughing.

During the Tang Dynasty, the "New Year's Eve" was stipulated every year. There were seven days in total, which were three days before New Year's Eve, and the first day of the New Year (that is, the second day of the New Year), the second day of the New Year, and the third day of the New Year. It is very humane, and it is also time to get you New Year's goods and housework.

Xu Qilin thought that he had approached the commercial and residential areas outside the city.

This was much more lively than when he left Chang'an. Xu Qilin looked around, but saw lanterns lit in shops, brothels, and residences. The colors were different, which looked very beautiful.

Moreover, there are constant pedestrians, either shopping in shops, going to brothels, or drinking in restaurants, which is completely different from the deserted curfew outside the city.

Of course, although outside the city, this is not a place beyond the law. A team of Jinwu Guards walked by, obviously patrolling. If any slut dared to cause trouble, it would be uncomfortable.

Not only Jinwu Guards, but also market management departments, just like the east and west cities in the city. This is also the reason why the imperial court allowed the existence of this commercial and residential area outside the city. It was all under control and could not cause any chaos.

Xu Qilin had already seen it as his own shop and the big lantern hanging in front of the door of the house not far away. The excitement and joy of going home instantly filled his whole body.

Wu Song had already rushed out, but only a few dozen meters away, he could not bear it. He ran to the door and didn't get off the horse. His loud voice rang out, "Open the door, open the door, Alang is back."

After a while, the door was opened, and the doorman and two servants trotted out, bowed and greeted him with a smile on their faces. Although it was flattering, Xu Qilin felt comfortable.

"Alang is back, I've been away for several months..."

"Alang quickly enters the mansion, Xiao Si has already gone to the inner courtyard to communicate..."

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded, turned over and got off the horse. Luda had already taken the reins and led it directly to the horse shed.

"Ah Lang, let's go to the mansion first, someone will make arrangements here." Wu Song grinned and greeted the vehicles behind, "These are transported to the warehouse behind, and these are sent to the inner courtyard. They are all light when moving."

Xu Qilin was relieved to Wu Song, so he stepped into the mansion and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the moon gate in the inner courtyard, a small figure ran out from inside, and threw himself into Xu Qilin's arms with a giggle.

Xu Qilin laughed, hugged the girl and walked around twice in a row, and joked: "Do you miss me? You've grown fat and it's so heavy. It seems that you didn't think about it."

Xiao Zhao raised his small fist, beat the old man's head, and smiled and said, "I just want to hit you, bad guy."

Xu Qilin kept laughing, hugged her younger sister and walked towards the inner courtyard. After crossing the moon gate, he saw two figures running over hurriedly. Needless to say, it was Scarlett's Ajiani.

When Scarlett heard the servant's notice, she was a little behind Xiao Zhao, but she ran very fast. But when she saw Xu Qilin, she didn't know how to speak up her longing and greetings. She just called out and opened her mouth half open and smiled foolishly.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Jiali, why are you stupid? You can't speak anymore?"

Scarlett closed his mouth, smiled and said, "I am so happy that I don't know what to say."

Ajiani blinked her big eyes and grinned non-stop.

Xu Qilin also had that feeling. He was looking forward to going home to meet him, but at first sight, he felt a lot of words and didn't know where to start.

Scarlett walked up with a smile, held Alang's arm intimately, and greeted: "Alang, it's hard for you to go into the house and sit and chat."

Xu Qilin felt that this was normal. He walked through the courtyard and entered the house. He put down his younger sister. Scarlett and Ajiani were diligently removing the coat cloak for him and brought him hot water to wash his face.

After tidying up briefly, Xu Qilin leaned into the sofa, Xiao Zhao approached again, looked at his brother, and said with a smile: "It seems to be black! It's much stronger."

Xu Qilin smiled and touched the little sister's face, and said, "You have grown taller and fleshy, and I almost couldn't hold you."

"I've grown up, you've become more vigorous too!" Xiao Zhao pinched the brother's arm and said, "Look, this flesh is hard and tough, and he said he can't hold it, just want to be lazy."

Xu Qilin stretched out his arms, satisfied with the muscles full of strength.

"Alang, what do you want to eat? I let the kitchen open fire and cook." Scarlett walked over and asked.

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "Just make some hot stuff, Wu Song and the others didn't eat it, so make more."

Scarlett smiled and turned to the kitchen to arrange the chef to cook. Although Alang said casually, she still wanted to cook a few more dishes. She remembered what Alang liked to eat!

The room was warm and there was no fireworks at all. Xu Qilin looked at the fire wall and was very satisfied.

"Brother, what good things have you brought back?" Xiao Zhao hugged the brother's arm and said with a bent look: "I like all the delicious and fun things in the letter!"

Xu Qilin patted the little girl's hand and said, "You can't hold on to the delicious food. Just wait until the chef does it. As for fun, the servants can move in later, so you can choose whatever you want."

Xiao Zhao was satisfied this time and turned around and looked outside. Although he couldn't see it, he could hear the sound. The servants carrying the boxes had not arrived yet.

"How is the New Year's goods being delivered?" Xu Qilin asked casually: "It's not been a few days, so hurry up if you should buy it."

Xiao Zhao said: "It's all Jiali who is in charge. It should be almost done. I'm just waiting for you to come back to see what else is missing."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow to hand in the work, and then arrange the work of Dayingku. I will take you to the market to buy."

"I'll go to the opera troupe tomorrow and ask them to prepare for you to act." Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "I haven't seen it, I've finished the fourth installment of "Water Floating Kingsoft".

Xu Qilin is not very interested in this simple drama. After watching too many movies and TV in later generations, the stunts are so gorgeous! Now, even the 50 cents special effects are not, at most one cent.

However, when the girl said this, he nodded and said, "I'm not in a hurry. You can watch it anytime, don't affect others' rehearsals."

"If you want to talk about the influence, it is the Royal Theater." Xiao Zhao was obviously dissatisfied with this and said, "I asked the opera troupe to act for several days. We can only wait here. How annoying you said."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Who makes me the emperor? We can't afford to offend me. By the way, there is no royal theater alone, but there is no royal theater or something?"

"It seems to be there?" Xiao Zhao said unsure and said, "That level is definitely not good. Maybe he has to come and learn from the skills!"

As he was speaking, the sound of Wu Song commanding the transport sounded outside. Xiao Zhao's face was happy and he jumped off the sofa.

"There are a lot of things, you can pick the rest and give it to the princess." Xu Qilin instructed, "I will enter the palace tomorrow and take it there."

Xiao Zhao said, "I will go with you tomorrow. You will go to meet His Majesty and Sister. I will go to deliver things."

"Okay." Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Let A Jiani help you. Some things are heavy, don't shoot them in the foot."

Xiao Zhao waved at Ajiani, and the two girls left the house one by one. As soon as they left, Scarlett ordered the chef and returned to the house.

Seeing that Xu Qilin was the only one sitting on the sofa in the room, Scarlett smiled and showed his original liveliness. He ran to Xu Qilin and sat down, leaning against Alang.

Hehe, Xu Qilin tilted his head and pushed it gently, reached out to put his hand on the maid's shoulder, and gently stroked her hair. The color seemed to be yellower, and it was simply put together and half spread behind her as before.

"Is anyone waiting outside?" Scarlett asked with a smile: "I must have bought a maid, and they are all hidden in the house in Luoyang, right?"

Xu Qilin smiled and joked, "Yes, one is called Daya and the other is called Xiaoye, both of them are hidden and you won't see it."

Scarlett said with a lip voice: "I know that this name means I have never seen the world. How about it, is it okay to serve you?"

"It's not as good as my Jiali." Xu Qilin told the truth, "If I hadn't been running outside, I would have sent someone to take you to Luoyang."

Scarlett smiled happily and said, "I have learned a lot during this period, and I can handle accounts and housework. Now I can get it. If I go to Luoyang, I can share the burden for Alang."

"There is better than Chang'an there, my feeling." Xu Qilin said: "Maybe you will live there for a long time in the future. There are also shops, which will be taken care of for you."

Scarlett nodded and said, "I'll find the tailor tomorrow. What wool material from Dayingku has sent you? I haven't made clothes for you yet!"

"Have you done yours?" Xu Qilin asked, "I don't know if the materials I gave were enough."

"The little lady made it, and the rest is enough for Almighty." Scarlett said: "The material is very expensive, but there are many people buying it. All the ones in our shop have been sold."

Xu Qilin nodded, thinking that Dayingku should be still there, even if it is a little bit slow, it is still a sub-material, which is very strong and warm.

"Our shop has made tens of thousands of dollars in the past few months." Scarlett said something he knew better and was a little proud of, "If you want to check the accounts, it's up to me."

Xu Qilin smiled and shook his head, saying, "Just make money. I feel most at ease with you to watch the account. I don't want to worry about it. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so take out some money and give some bonuses to the people in the shop. By the way, there is also the workshop in the shop, don't be stingy."

"I have figured out the money I want to pay, so I'm waiting for Alang to nod." Scarlett smiled and said, "And the servants in the mansion have one."

"You can do it, I won't worry about that." Xu Qilin paused and asked, "How is my elder brother's place? Are you still waiting for the election in the Ministry of Personnel?"

"Dalang, you probably didn't become an official?" Scarlett said uncertainly: "If there is news, you still have to pay for a banquet?"

Xu Qilin pondered, and his elder brother passed the imperial examination successfully with Hongwensheng's background. It was a normal procedure to wait for the examination and teach an official at the Ministry of Personnel. But he always felt that Hou Junji was unreliable, so he might just want to vent his anger to his son-in-law and take the opportunity to take revenge.

Who made Xu Qilin regard Hou Junji as a treacherous minister? The guy who dared to rebel with Li Chengqian, the second generation ancestor, must have a bad head!

The key is that Xu Qilin thought this way but could not produce evidence. There were many people waiting to be awarded official positions in the Ministry of Personnel, and Xu Qiqiu was not a famous and outstanding figure.

Did you look for that guy Helan Chushi and hit him? Xu Qilin touched his chin, but had no beard to rub.

"Do you want to give gifts to others during the Chinese New Year?" Scarlett brought the tea to Xu Qilin and asked, "Alang's friends, their elders are all Duchy and Marquis."

Xu Qilin drank the tea and thought for a while, and said, "Prepare a few simple copies, and don't ask them to do anything, just express the respect of the younger generation."

"Then Alang makes a list and write down what gifts to give." Scarlett said with a hint: "I don't understand these things. If there are too many or too few, don't let anyone choose."

"Okay." Xu Qilin nodded and smiled, "It's my first time to learn slowly. Next year, I'll leave it all to you."

Scarlett was very happy. Although she was a maid, her status was getting higher and higher, and she had the power of half of the hostess. The subordinates became more and more respectful, which made her feel very good.

While chatting, the kitchen brought the food and set it on the table. Xu Qilin saw that they were all her favorite food, sat down and ate, and even greeted Scarlett.

Scarlett did not move his chopsticks, but just served him diligently, and ordered his servants to boil water and prepare to let Xu Qilin take a shower before going to bed.

While eating, Xiao Zhao asked the servants to carry the cage in, which she took the rest. Xu Qilin didn't care. He basically bought several copies of the same items. Even if it was a little less, the sister and the princess didn't know.

Xiao Zhao also directed his servants to divide these things into three parts and put them in boxes and cages. They are all the same, so people will not feel that they are favored by one or the other.

"Brother, I'm going to go to bed." Xiao Zhao worked hard for a long time, feeling a little sleepy, covering her little mouth and yawning.

"Go, go!" Xu Qilin said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry tomorrow. I need to sleep a little longer. Anyway, I have to wait until the morning court has passed before I can see Your Majesty."
