There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 235
Li Haitang tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth and smiled: "I haven't returned, maybe I'll be back in a few days." That matter is very important, she doesn't know if Yun Jinhai knows about it, so she can only be vague. It's hard to elaborate.

Yun Jinhai frowned, and then said again: "Don't worry."

After a pause, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "After this year at the latest, the dust should have settled."

Hearing this, Li Haitang's heart sank. It seemed that Yun Jinhai knew about it. It seemed that this year was not easy.

After Yun Jinhai said that, he left without looking back, and Li Haitang who returned home also became nervous at this time.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Nanshan Academy began to have a holiday, and Dong Sheng and Liu Yu returned home. Because they would take part in the examination next spring, Dong Sheng and Liu Yu hardly even went out of the yard, and even their meals were delivered to their rooms.

Li Dongmei didn't know what she was busy with, so she didn't go out all day.

As for Li Haitang, there was no smile on his face all day long, so all the servants in Haitang Garden felt unprecedented tension. They dared not even walk and spoke in a low voice.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Haitang gave all the servants a holiday, leaving only some who had no relatives to serve in Haitang Garden, and sealed a big red envelope for each of them, so that everyone could go home and have a good New Year .

The servants opened the red envelopes and found that there were ten taels of silver in them. All of them were so grateful that their eyes filled with tears, and they kowtowed to Li Haitang one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, even if I was worried about Gu Yongjia, I still had to celebrate the New Year.

During the period, the Gu family also sent someone to ask, wanting Gu Yongjia to go back to celebrate the New Year. When he learned that Gu Yongjia hadn't come back, Mr. Gu even came to see if Gu Yongjia didn't want to go home. After returning, he asked Haitang what he was doing in the capital and where he lived. He asked someone to go to the capital to bring him back, but Haitang refused.

Although Gu Tianze was a little angry at Li Haitang's rejection, but thinking that he and his son hadn't reconciled yet, and would have to rely on Li Haitang for some good words in the future, he could only let it go with a green face.

On the evening of the [-]th, every family had a reunion dinner and set off firecrackers. This rare hustle and bustle made the somewhat deserted yard a bit lively.

After dinner is to watch the year.

Liu Yu got up a few days ago and went home to celebrate the New Year, and Aunt Han's family, Li Haitang, also let them go back to celebrate the New Year alone. Now that Qiu Ju has given birth to a child, their family is free and lively together.

The servants were given a holiday by Li Haitang and asked them to celebrate the new year alone, otherwise they would not feel comfortable together. Most importantly, Li Haitang just wanted to spend the new year quietly. expectations.

Therefore, this New Year's Eve dinner was just the three siblings and Nangong Yanruo.

After all, they were children. After Dong Sheng and Dong Mei finished their New Year's Eve dinner, they went to the yard to set off fireworks, while Li Haitang and Nangong Yanruo had serious expressions on their faces, and neither of them spoke.

Both of them knew that at this time, the New Year's Eve dinner was also being eaten in the palace, and it was the emperor who ate with the court officials.

Dong Sheng and Dong Mei played outside until almost midnight before they entered the room feeling a little depressed. They took off their shoes and got on the kang, and squeezed to Li Haitang's side. Seeing their blushing faces, they didn't know it was cold. It was because the two of them were making a fuss outside, and the heaviness in their hearts dissipated a little, and they said to Dongsheng with a smile on his face: "You said you were going to be the No. [-] scholar, after all, you are still a child."

Dongsheng replied with a displeased face: "Who said that you can't play if you take the number one scholar exam? Do you still have to study to become a nerd?"

Li Haitang laughed out loud, and had to say that this kid was indeed not a rote reader, although he hardly ever left the hospital every day, but according to Liu Yu, he combined work and rest, and developed morality, intelligence, physique and beauty in an all-round way.

In the middle of the night, Li Haitang asked Qiu Ge to set off a string of firecrackers outside, and then told everyone to go to bed. There was no one in Haitang Garden these years, and there was no need to get up early tomorrow to celebrate the New Year.

After Dongsheng and Dongmei received the New Year's money from Li Haitang and Nangong Yanruo, they couldn't hold on to their eyelids that were already glued together, and they both went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

And Li Haitang said to Nangong Yanruo: "Master, it seems that there is no news today, you should go back to sleep first."

Li Haitang thought that he would be able to sleep well on the first day of the new year, but he did not expect that before dawn, there would be a government servant beating the gong, waking up everyone from their sleep.

Li Haitang relaxed after hearing the news from his servants. After waiting for such a long time, the dust finally settled, and he almost fainted. collapsed.

The yamen servants did not enter the door, but shouted all over the street, the emperor died of a sudden illness, the third prince obeyed the people and ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Dachang, and stopped all entertainment during the national mourning period.

Li Haitang immediately asked his servants to replace the red lanterns outside with white ones, and replaced all the brightly colored things in the house, even the crimson dress she was wearing, she quickly changed into a plain one.

Li Haitang felt relieved, but Li Dongsheng frowned tightly.

Under normal circumstances, the national funeral is three years, three years without marriage, and three years without examinations. If the imperial court does not issue another decree, then his next year's examination will probably not be held as scheduled.

After Li Haitang knew about it, she didn't care about it. She didn't have much hope for her younger brother. No matter how talented he was, he was just a child. How easy is it to get a champion? Really walk on a single-plank bridge, choose one out of ten thousand.

However, what she didn't expect was that not long after, the imperial court issued a decree that the new emperor was enthroned, and everything was waiting to be done. The trial was held as scheduled, which made Li Dongsheng, who was a little nervous at first, cherish this opportunity even more. , study harder.

Gu Yongjia came back on the third day of the first lunar month.

When he got home, Li Haitang almost didn't recognize him anymore.

Because I lost a whole circle.

However, although he has become darker and thinner, he looks stronger. His already slender and strong side has become more upright and powerful at this moment, and his whole body exudes a different light, which makes Li Haitang a little bit unable to move. open your eyes.

From the moment Gu Yongjia entered the door, his eyes never left Haitang's body. He looked at Li Haitang with shining eyes. In front of Nangong Yanruo, he hugged Li Haitang into his arms and put his head on her neck and shoulders. , greedily inhaling the fragrance of her body.

Nangong Yanruo wanted to speak at first, but Yingzun carried her out of the room.

After leaving for a few months, Gu Yongjia's first words after returning were: "Haitang, let's get married."
