Fight the Giants

  Chapter 176 Encounter by chance

   Shen Qianzhong took one thousand taels and started his career as a treasurer.

  Before the new year passed, 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 not idle either, busy working on her plan. Now that someone helps her run outside, she has more time to start thinking about the future.

  There is no recovery to slaughter Su Meng, and the night is still young when the lights are turned on.

  This year is the first year that Emperor Yongkang entered the imperial city. There are newcomers and new atmosphere. The palace is full of drums and music every day, and there are constant banquets. However, Concubine Zhang’s Zhongcui Palace is deserted.

   She was grounded.

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

   Find Mama Sun, close the door, and ask: "Is your medicine okay? If you take it, will your body..."

  If the emperor makes any mistakes, even if there is such a great contribution as the master died to save the emperor, no matter how many contributions Wen Bi made, the whole family's head would not be enough to cut off.

"Won't."

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

  Mother Sun leaned into Wang's ear and said, "Whatever you eat 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, and 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 to find them."

   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."

   "The group can't be found."

   "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, 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.

   "Momo, 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.

   "Master, I heard that Concubine Zhang has been grounded. The palace conferred another noble concubine, 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? If it's too late, 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 I'll have to wait until next year." Huo Xi said in a daze, without opening his eyes, half sat up on the bed.

  Mr. Yang was afraid that she would be cold, so she quickly 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. First, they could climb high to overlook, second, they could exercise their bodies, and third, they took this opportunity to bring friends and make friends.

  During the previous dynasties and non-wartimes, the common people could climb the city walls. 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 16th day of the first lunar month every year, the people could climb the city wall for an outing.

   There is also an old saying, "Go to the top of the city when you go to the top of the city" and every family loves to go to the top of the city to strengthen their feet.

  Because it only happens 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 he 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 Yang Shi and Nian'er to go out, the genius just came to light.

   "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 ever climbed the city wall, and Xi'er said that there would be a lot of people climbing the city wall today, so the girl woke him up early because she was afraid that they would not be able to make it.

   "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. If we go late, we may not be able to climb it. 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, it was impossible to move forward.

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

   Another cup of tea time, the team completely stopped moving.

   "Xi'er, are there so many people every year?" Yang Fu bounced around in place, straightened his neck and looked forward, but he still couldn't see where the line was.

   "Well, it's only a little bit more. Fortunately, we came out early, and this place is not far from the Shicheng Gate. We should be able to board it."

  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 reached 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 is 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 all the squares, cities and streets 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, and behind it is Mochou Lake. We live there, 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!"

   "Let's bring them back next year."

"Um."

  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.

  The 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.

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

   Li Yi Kan Er behind him followed the young master's gaze, and also saw Huo Xi and the others. It suddenly became clear in my heart.

   They said that their Xipinghou Mansion was on the east side, and they refused to go to the city gates on the east side. The young master insisted on coming to the west city gate early in the morning.

   But they are happy if the young master is happy.
