The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the summer.

In the sun, thousands of households always replace the old charms with new peaches.

This is Wang Anshi's "New Year's Day" by the Song Dynasty, which describes the scene of the first day of the New Year.

Today, there are also some children of eight or nine years old who are lit up homemade diabolos everywhere in Chang'an City. From time to time, there is a sudden rumbling on the streets, which can always scare some women who come out to purchase New Year's goods. They can often make a few laughs and scolds from time to time, but they still kindly throw a few copper coins for the children, which can be regarded as New Year's money for them.

The naughty children happily picked up the copper plate and thanked him, still playing with homemade firecrackers with a smile, humming some festive slang in their mouths, and holding the candied haws, crispy cakes and other snacks bought by their parents.

Qinrenfang next to East City, Yu Mansion backyard.

Yu Shinan and Yu Lingyan, who had just finished their snacks, were writing Spring Festival couplets for the New Year in the backyard. There was no way. As the number one person in calligraphy at that time, Yu Shinan not only had to write more than a dozen Spring Festival couplets for his home, but even the Spring Festival couplets in the palace and the palaces of several princes were also handled by him.

Yu Lingyan couldn't let her father write Spring Festival couplets alone for a few days, so she had to imitate her father's handwriting and write Spring Festival couplets for several princes and ministers' homes. Anyway, those people couldn't see it.

At this time, the front yard housekeeper hurried in, secretly glanced at Yu Lingyan, and said in Yu Shinan: "Master, a young man who claims to be the lord of the king presented a gift list to the master, and two of them were given to the lady by name."

"Oh?" Yu Shinan looked at Yu Lingyan, who was writing in confusion, and asked, "Lord Wang? Why do you seem to have heard of this name somewhere? Do you know which young master it is?"

"I don't know, but the person who gave the gift list was General Qin's family general. The old slave had seen him several times and was a personal guard level figure, so he did not dare to neglect him." The butler explained.

Yu Shinan suddenly realized and was confused. He thought that Yu Lingyan might have something to hide from him: "Hehe, Lingyan, the soap workshop's words were made by the Lord Wang Chenggong gave gifts to his father, and two of the gifts were also named to be delivered to you. Do you think you want them or not?"

Yu Lingyan was already immersed in the world of calligraphy. Suddenly, he heard the three words "The Lord of the City", and a dazed and smirked face flashed in his mind, and he said in confusion: "Give it to me? What?"

The housekeeper explained: "It was a box, saying that the lady wanted to open it in person, and there was also a strange square box, saying that it was a firework, and the lady could use it according to the instructions, and there would be unexpected beautiful scenery."

Yu Lingyan was also full of doubts, but also curious. After all, Wang Ye had a lot of good things. He quickly put down his pen and walked over to pull Yu Shinan up: "Let's go, dad, let's go and have a look."

"Haha, Ling Yan seems to be very anxious?" Yu Shinan smiled and walked towards the front yard with Yu Lingyan, asking on the way.

Yu Lingyan's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head and replied, "Dad, I don't know that the lining you are wearing was given by the Lord of the King, and the full-length mirror in Lingyan's room was also given to his daughter. Now that people are kind enough to give gifts, we can't be rude!"

"Oh? Is that right? Hahaha." The old fox had already smelled the smell of holding his grandson.

On the other hand, Qin Qiong brought the gifts from King Li Er and Princess Jiujiang to King, and had just arrived at Tiance Mansion.

After receiving the news, Li Er went out to greet him in person: "Haha, tomorrow is thirty, and Shubao is not ready at home. Why do you have time to come to my house? Is there something big to discuss?"

Qin Qiong bowed and said, "The King of Qin is polite. Qin is indeed a headache when he comes today. I hope the King of Qin can prepare a glass of wine to solve the problem for Qin."

"Oh? Please come in quickly."

"By the way, please call Princess Changsun on the way."

······

Tiance Mansion, in Li Er's study room.

Changsun Wugui couldn't let go of his hands and put down the half-length mirror in his hand, picked up several bottles of perfume beside him, opened them one by one and sprayed them on his wrist, and looked happy after smelling it.

Li Er also smelled several different fragrances of flowers in the air, but he still picked up the gift list that Wang Ye gave to Princess Jiujiang with a confused look on his face.

"Shubao means that the girl Qingcheng has ever been to Tingyu Pavilion?"

"Yes, the King of Qin doesn't know. That day, the saint summoned me into the palace. It happened to be the time when I left before the princess arrived. The daughter of Yu Shinan was also Yu Lingyan, who was walking with me." Qin Qiong explained.

"Well, actually, Qingcheng came to my mansion before. I once pointed out half-jokingly that if you want a mirror, you can go to Zhangjiagou, Jingyang County to find a young man named Wang. I didn't expect that she would go."

Li Er looked at the box next to him, a full-length mirror wrapped in foam, and a strange paper box, and said softly.

Qin Qiong suddenly realized: "No wonder, I wonder why the good princess would go to that remote place. It turned out that everything was because of Your Highness's words."

Li Er touched his nose awkwardly, changed the subject and asked: "By the way, did you just say that the gift list given to Qingcheng by the Lord of the City gave Qingcheng several times more than the gift given to Yu Lingyan?"

"That is, except for the boxes and boxes, there are nine more snack sets, and the bath gift packs are the same. Moreover, the others are half-length mirrors, only the princess' gift list is full-length mirror, and the King of Qin, you look at this mirror, it is three people wide. If the whole face is a mirror, then..."

"Shh... don't let the princess hear it." Li Er quickly stopped Qin Qiong from exploring the topic of the mirror.

"What don't let me hear?" Changsun Wugui next to him had been upset because the two of them were talking softly. At this time, they were even pulled on him. How could they bear it? He hurriedly asked.

"Ahem, don't Guanyin maid try other gifts? Hahaha." Li Er smiled awkwardly.

"Shubao, what can't I know?" Changsun Wugui saw that Li Eryi looked like he was 300 taels of silver here, and directly asked Qin Qiong next to him.

Qin Qiong looked at Li Er with a look of looking at his teammate and explained the matter.

"What, is this a full-body mirror? So big?" Sure enough, it's the same for women to focus on everyone.

"Ahem, Guanyin maid, that was given to the girl from Qingcheng by the Lord of the City." Li Er hurriedly reminded.

Changsun Wugui glared at him hatefully and said, "Since it is for Qingcheng, I will send it directly to the palace. Do you two big men still want to be greedy for Qingcheng's gifts?"

"Cough cough, Guanyin maid is so bad, the main reason is that this gift is not easy to give." Li Er spoke.

Qin Qiong explained: "Princess, think about it, although the lord of the royal city has made contributions to filling the treasury, he has no official position and title. Now he is still a civilian. If the civilian gives gifts to the princess, if the stubborn people in the Ministry of Rites know, wouldn't he have a fuss?"

Changsun Wugui held his chin and pondered for a moment, staring at the bag of Yan's full-length mirror, and said, "Since it was the intention given to Qingcheng by this royal city lord, it would be unreasonable if it was not given to Qingcheng. What if this gift was given by my sister-in-law in her personal name?"

Qin Qiong said anxiously: "No, the princess will offend all the female relatives in the palace by then. I believe you should be very clear about the power of this mirror, and there is also a bathing suit and this box that I don't know what it is." Qin Qiong pointed to a large red wooden box next to it.

"Oh? What if it is in the form of a kinship? I think that since the lord of the royal city is interested in Qingcheng, I will just help me to say that it is together. The empress and the concubine in the harem are not easy to say. The older princesses have engagements and engagements, and those who do not have engagements cannot cause any storm. And since they are talking about kinship, there are also statements of success or failure, how about it?"

Li Er and Qin Qiong looked at each other and saw the color from each other's eyes. Yes, Changsun Wugui came forward and helped his sister to marry in the name of his sister-in-law. Anyway, the two of them had a few levels in the end. Even if they couldn't get married, they would not blame others. In particular, they said that the partner of the kin was the king who had helped the saint fill the treasury. He took the opportunity to label the king as his own, killing two birds with one stone.

"Then please ask Guanyin maid to come for a trip, which can be regarded as giving the royal city lord a good intention." Li Er said with a smile.

"Please trouble the princess." Qin Qiong bowed and bowed.

Changsun Wugui's eyes turned, and his focus was on the full-body mirror. He replied, "It's okay, everything in the house is ready anyway. Fortunately, he went to the palace to gather with several sisters to warm up tomorrow night's poetry meeting in advance."
