Waste phase tracking handwriting

Chapter 60
Another new year.

Da Chu gave a lot of leave around Yuan Day, so Ji Pu often came to see Wen Yuanzhi and Gou Yue when he had time.

Seeing that he was coming more often, Wen Yuanzhi said with a smile, "Happy for the new holiday, otherwise you won't be able to get away. The Taiwan Academy is approaching the Chinese New Year, so there are a lot of cases to be concluded, right?"

Ji Pu sighed, "That's not true. I don't even have the daily holidays."

"Do you want to enter the palace after dark?"

Gou Yue was following Jin Ge in making flat food. She came over with her hands full of flour and asked Wen Yuanzhi, "Why didn't you say you wanted to enter the palace? Jin Ge, Xiaojiu, and A Ming and I have made a lot of flat food!"

When she came to question him, he had no choice but to bring the rock candy he had just wrapped around a bamboo stick to her mouth.

Gou Yue didn't calm down, "How can I live another year without you?"

Jin Ge listened and closed his eyes tightly.

"Hey, Jin Ge, don't leave, don't be angry!"

Wen Yuanzhi held her hand and said, "What are you doing to coax her? She doesn't want to celebrate the New Year with me?"

Gou Yue used flour to cover half of his face, "You go to the palace, and I will of course celebrate the New Year with Jin Ge and the others."

Tong Ji Pu said, "Is the case between Xue and Song closed?"

He said, "Even if it's over, I'm still going to investigate." Ji Pu glanced at the person sitting opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

She was too lazy to continue asking him about his progress and followed Jin Ge out.

"How can Gou Yue be brought into the palace?" Ji Pu asked.

At this moment, the palace was solemn and busy.

At the time of the Three Yuan Dynasty, the colorful clouds welcome the dawn and the red candles usher in the spring.Many officials will line up according to rank and position tonight to wait for dawn, and the palace will be brightly lit with candles.

Outside the Hanyuan Hall, His Majesty will be crowned and present at the pavilion. At that time, the Queen, hundreds of officials, and relatives of the Emperor will all attend in court uniforms.

The ministers knelt down and worshiped, and there were many etiquettes. Ji Pu had witnessed the momentum of Weiyang in the Wan Guo Dynasty last year. He didn't want to join in the fun this year. Unfortunately, Shen Sang was still in the capital. His Majesty would definitely order him to enter the palace. He would have to follow even if he didn't want to go. go.

Seeing Wen Yuanzhi lowering his head and still making candy, the soup melting on the copper plate in front of him, and he was taking the trouble to make rock candy, Ji Pu reminded, "Are you really going to take her with you?"

Wen Yuanzhi asked, "Why not?"

Every year after that, he would accompany her. He had wanted to do this from a long time ago.

Around Yuan Day, long bamboo poles were erected in the courtyard, with long silk banners hanging from the top.

Gou Yue washed her hands and went to pray to the moon under the flags.

Wen Yuanzhi saw her graceful figure in the yard and said with a smile, "We can let her go out to play in normal times. During the New Year, we naturally have to be together, so that every year can last forever."

Ji Pu followed his gaze and quickly withdrew his eyes.

"Chen Sang will send someone for you in a moment. You need to pack up and eat two flat food mats to cushion your stomach so as not to be hungry when you enter the palace."

Ji Pu said thank you.

Just as he was about to stand up, Wen Yuanzhi said behind him, "Did you forget something?"

Ji Pu didn't understand.

He laughed and said, "When you came to our house today, you only said long live to Gou Yue. On this day, you didn't say a word to me." Wen Yuanzhi turned to stop him and said.

New Year's greetings have different customs in Yan and Chu. Nowadays, everyone greets each other when they meet before and after.

This is the most common saying about meeting someone on the road.

Ji Pu didn't expect that he was still worried about this, and said, "Long live Mr. Xiaowen, long live!"

Wen Yuanzhi replied, "Not sincerely, did you and your brother say the same thing?"

Ji Pu gritted his teeth, and for the sake of your age, he said some auspicious words, clasped his right knee on the ground, and said, "Bless the new day, and celebrate your longevity without borders."

Wen Yuanzhi saw that he was a little annoyed, so he stopped teasing him and took out a five-tael silver note wrapped in floral paper from his sleeve.

"This is?"

"It's considered a gift from the elders to the younger ones."

He refused, "I don't want it." He muttered and left.

Halfway through, he turned back and snatched it from Wenyuan's hand.Wen Yuanzhi could only hold back his laughter at his childlike behavior.

After nightfall, children go out with lanterns and bells and drums ring in the streets to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

Gou Yue met Ji Pu who was returning home in the yard, "Hey, won't you stay up with us?"

"Be careful, Guo Guo is about to enter the palace." He waved his hand and left.

Gou Yue didn't understand and asked Jin Ge what he said.

Jin Ge said, "Mr. Ji is saying that he will no longer keep the New Year's Eve and will accompany his brother to the palace tonight to celebrate the festival."

Gou Yue ran into the house, running too fast, and the cloak behind her brought a gust of cool breeze, "When are you going to do it?"

"You have to hold these candies for a while."

"Take it where?"

"I want to enter the palace to attend the annual banquet, but we will go back to Wen's house later. I will say a few words and then we will enter the palace."

Gou Yue was overjoyed, "Do you really want to take me into the palace with you?"

"Are there any fake ones?"

She hurriedly ran in, "I'm going to change my appearance and turn into a man to accompany you."

He said no.

Even if they use this face, how many people can recognize it? Even if they recognize it, after all these years, can they do it again?

"Really not?"

He wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief, "I said no, no, just remember three things. The first thing is, when we go to Wen's house, or enter the palace, and meet the elders, we must kneel on the ground. Say some congratulations on the festival. The second thing is, there are several children in the Wen family who like to eat the candy I made, so you can share it with them."

He hesitated to mention the third item, and Gou Yue couldn't help but ask, "What else?"

Wen Yuan's way, "Principle [-], no matter what we see tonight, don't be too surprised, and don't cause trouble."

What's so surprising, Gou Yue said.

Before leaving for Wen's Mansion, she saw the fireworks in the sky and the firecrackers on the street. When she walked out, she realized that every household was having a reunion. She couldn't help but think about the master and his wife. She had been away from home for the past few years and she had been accompanying Wen Yuanzhi during the New Year. , whether he knows it or not, she has been with him for three years since she took over the task of tracking him.

The crackling of firecrackers made Gou Yue feel a little sad. She wrote to her master, but he didn't reply. She wrote that she would return home soon, but no one answered.

She was wearing new clothes and new shoes on her feet. I wonder if the junior sisters and brothers had new clothes.

The more Wen Yuanzhi gave her the warmth of home, the more she missed Wufantang. On the first day of the year, she couldn't wait to return to Wufantang immediately.

The Wen family prepared refreshments, and Gou Yue distributed the candies to the many children of the Wen family according to Wen Yuan's instructions.

But they didn't seem to like it. Wen Yuanzhi thought he had been away for too long and had forgotten the children's preferences.

Wen's family gathered together, and everyone said hello to her. Although she didn't recognize them, she smiled back at them all.If he sees an older person, he will bend his right knee and knock it on the ground.Fortunately, there were not many elders in the Wen family's main house. Gou Yue thought that maybe Wen Yuanzhi avoided them on purpose.

Everyone raised Tusu wine to toast each other.

Gou Yue chewed her gum and whispered, "You won't drink it after just one drink, right?"

"Why, are you afraid that I will cough in the middle of the night and make you unable to sleep?" He smiled deliberately.

Gou Yue was afraid that people would hear their whispers, so she lowered her voice and said, "You are going to enter the palace, and you will definitely drink when the time comes. Don't drink too much now."

He poured her a glass of pepper wine.

He said, "The wine I drank was Yashen Powder, which contains medicinal materials such as rhubarb, platycodon, and aconitum. It can expel evil spirits, detoxify, and prolong life. Don't worry about me."

Wen Yuanzhi only drank with some juniors in the family. Gou Yue waited for half an hour, but did not see his mother coming, let alone his brother.

She didn't want to be depressed about this, but just now a child took her candy, and when he turned around, his mother knocked it away. Although she turned around and saw Gou Yue smiling with her, the smile still made Gou Yue a little disappointed.

Maybe it's not that they don't like Wen Yuanzhi's candies, but they don't like her holding the candies.

After drinking the last cup, everyone drank from the youngest to the oldest. The last cup was dedicated to the good health of the whole family.

Boil the water in a large pot, take out the half-moon-shaped dumplings, and serve them with vinegar and garlic. Wen Yuanzhi ate half the bowl and put it there. He said, "It's time to enter the palace." He sprinkled coriander in the soup. Before Gou Yue left, Said, "You haven't even taken a sip of the soup. The soup is also very fragrant."

He held her hand and walked out step by step, "You like to eat, we can cook more later."

Gou Yue turned around and saw the man in the carriage parked outside the house appeared.

He walked out from behind the screen, took the remaining half bowl of Wen Yuanzhi's food and ate it.

"Ayuan, look -"

"Nothing, let's go."

Wen Yuanzhi never looked back until the door was closed again, and he never looked back.

She got on the carriage, picked up Mrs. Tang and said, "Aren't you curious why your father-in-law and your brother didn't show up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage was stopped.

One hand opened the car curtain and tapped his right knee on the car shaft, "Long live my brother. I hang a banner for my brother and pray for a long life in the new year."

Wen Yuanzhi just said, "No need, just take good care of your mother. He already has an unfilial son. She wants you to see me. She also hates it. You shouldn't come out."

Looking at this face that was somewhat similar to Wen Yuanzhi, Gou Yue was in a trance. There was indeed some resemblance between the brothers. She had felt this way when they saw her from a distance outside the house that day. Now that she is closer, she feels that the two figures look alike. It's poured from the mold.

"I also asked for a wishing flag for my sister-in-law, with ink writing on it, praying to gods and Buddhas to protect my sister-in-law."

Until he said sister-in-law, Gou Yue didn't realize that he was talking about her.

"The pattern of the valerian clips is fashionable in Liangzhu, and the silk threads are very shiny. It was made by my wife herself. I hope my sister-in-law will not dislike our wishing flags," he said to Gou Yue.

Gou Yue was stunned, were you calling her sister-in-law?

This……

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, thank you...thank you brother...no, thank you..." Wen Yuanzhi's brother couldn't be older than her, so what should he call her? Gou Yue was a little embarrassed.

But this embarrassment did not last long. "Brother, walk slowly. If we meet in the palace in the evening, we will say a few more words."

He went and said goodbye to the two of them.

The carriage passed by the house on its way to the palace. When Gou Yue saw Jin Ge standing at the door, she asked the carriage driver to stop.

There was frost on Jin Ge's eyelashes. It was so cold outside that she must have been standing for a while.

Gou Yue said, "Why don't you go inside? Are you going to freeze to death standing outside?"

She handed over a letter, "Girl, I thought you would pass by the door when you came back from Wen Mansion, so I waited for fear of missing the girl."

"What is this?" she opened.

Jin Ge said, "I don't know if it's important, but it says it's written by Gou Yue. Don't worry, girl, this letter has just arrived and no one has opened it."

There was only one short line in the letter, "I accept it, Master."

She told the master all the causes and consequences, hoping that the master would agree to her marriage to Wen Yuanzhi, but she did not expect that the master would agree so easily.

Looking at the four words written in thick ink, Gou Yue was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Jin Ge saw her happy and was happy for her, "Girl, there seems to be another word behind it."

She was reminded and turned over to see.

"Come back after the new year and defeat all the disciples in the master's sect one by one, then you can go out and get married."

Gou Yue could no longer laugh.

"What's wrong? Is it bad news?"

Gou Yue looked at Jin Ge, a little panicked, how could she defeat all the disciples, even Ah Qin had trouble dealing with her.

"The girl only looked at the middle part to see if there was another line of words below. I was a little dizzy when I saw the ink marks."

Gou Yue hurriedly looked down again, and sure enough, there was a line of very small words, so she continued to read with hope.

"If Wenyuan can defeat him, I can become my teacher."

Seeing this, she even grimaced.

The master was not agreeing, but urging her to go back and rejected her request.

Hearing Wen Yuanzhi urging her to get on the carriage, Gou Yue quickly handed the letter to Jin Ge, "Just burn it."

Jin Ge didn't even look at it, "Yes, I understand."

For some reason, Jin Ge always gives people the feeling of being trustworthy, and Gou Yue doesn't understand why he trusts her in everything. Such trust without knowing the details sometimes even shocks Gou Yue herself. She even dares to hand over the letter from her master directly. Tell her to destroy it.

"What's wrong, what kind of letter is that?"

Faced with Wen Yuanzhi's question, Gou Yue avoided the important and ignored the easy, "Oh, it's a letter from my family, asking me to go back after the new year."

"How about I go back with you?" Wen Yuanzhi's eyes were bright. The lantern in the carriage flickered, and his eyes also shone in the light.

Gou Yue thought of her master's last words. She couldn't let Wen Yuanzhi take risks. If the master was serious, she would rather choose the first method.

"No, I'll just go back for a few days...a few months...a few..." She didn't dare to think about it any more. Being able to defeat her senior brothers and sisters within a year or two was considered a blessing to her. She had no internal strength. Therefore, sword energy and sword intention are almost meaningless. Only Qinggong is superior. But what is the use of Qinggong? It can only be used to avoid swords and survive. The highest level of defense is actually offense. She has always understood this truth, but she can never practice it. Internal force.

The master's wife once said that internal martial arts and external martial arts are indispensable, but all those with some reputation in the world have practiced both.

If there is no external martial arts, internal martial arts is just like stagnant water in a pool, no matter how thick it is, it cannot flow. And if there is no internal martial arts, no matter how superb the external martial arts is, even if it is perfect and fast as lightning, it is just a master. A thin layer of iron muscle is made of colored glaze on the inside. If you encounter a master, the iron muscle will not be broken, but the inside will also be shattered.

She didn't know why she couldn't practice internal power. She was obviously practicing internal power with her classmates, and others could achieve results in a year. She had practiced for a long time, but those internal powers could only support her light skill. It was really insignificant when used on a sword, let alone Mentioned to be used in fist and kick techniques.

Otherwise, she would not have been injured by Wan Niang's internal force that day, and had to rest for several days before she recovered.

Even though Ji Pu's sword skills are not as agile as hers, when it comes to internal strength, he is much better than her.

It's just that he didn't have much internal strength, so he never used his internal strength to deal with her once. He only used his wife's ordinary fists and kicks. If he used his internal strength to cross the sword, I'm afraid her tiger's mouth would have been struck by his sword when he drew it. The air was broken.
