Fang Yi was a little stunned, but he understood instantly.
She bumped Liu Anan with her shoulder, "Cousin Wu is very good. He is my cousin. You told me that my cousin and my cousin are close relatives. If getting married is not good for the child, besides, I have always regarded him as my brother. .”
Liu Anan actually told Fang Yi before.
In ancient times, it was very common for a cousin to get married to a cousin, but for Liu Anan, who has a modern soul, it is naturally unacceptable.
So she was worried that during this period, Fang Yi and Huo Jingwu had been in contact for a long time. If they had a good impression of each other, would she give her blessing?
Or a blessing?
bless? She really can't do it.
If she tried to stop him, she would be worried about being sprayed to death. Fortunately, Fang Yi had no feelings for Huo Jingwu.
Otherwise, she really suspected that God sent her here to do evil.
After coming out of Xiaobailou, Liu Anan sent Fang Yi back to Huo Mansion.
He also carefully selected a pearl necklace from Xiaobailou to Princess Qinghe and asked Fang Yi to deliver it to Princess Qinghe.
A necklace made Princess Qinghe very excited, not because of the necklace itself, but because of Liu Anan's sincerity. Princess Qinghe liked this little girl even more.
Children, don’t be greedy, it’s the New Year after Laba.
Laba is here in a blink of an eye, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and Qingyi has come back after a long journey.
Liu Anan has become much more relaxed these days.
The accounts have been settled long ago and the plans for the coming year have been made, so I have to give myself a few days off.
The master and servants were talking in the small flower hall.
Grandma Jin then said: "Girl, on New Year's Eve this year, there will be a palace banquet in the palace. Our Daqi defeated the barbarian royal court, gained another kind of crops, and established a field hospital, so this year's palace banquet will be particularly lively. .”
Liu Anan really knows something about palace banquets. In previous dynasties, there were palace banquets on some major festivals throughout the year.
Not only the royal family members will participate, but also some ministers and family members who are trusted by the emperor will also be invited.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, on New Year's Eve, the emperor held a banquet for his ministers and caroused with them until dawn. Many dignitaries "went to the pavilion to stay up late", sang and danced, and held bonfire parties, which was very lively.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Daqi’s New Year’s Eve palace banquet was held.
"Mommy, do all high-ranking officials from Beijing and other places have to attend the annual New Year's Eve banquet?"
Since he didn't understand the palace banquets of this era, Liu Anan still wanted to ask more questions. The more he knew, the fewer mistakes he would make.
"Girl, according to our Daqi regulations, only officials of fifth rank or above in Beijing are eligible to participate. As for foreign officials, officials with outstanding political achievements will also come to Beijing to participate. Lord Chu will be back this year."
Liu Anan nodded.
The adoptive father was promoted to chief envoy due to his outstanding political achievements, especially the flood in Liujiawan.
I think I will be able to see my adoptive father and mother in a few days.
Mammy added: "As the head of the county, the girl will definitely be invited. The Duke's wife and the eldest lady of our house have orders, so they will definitely attend. As for other officials' wives and children, the Holy Father will usually allow them to be brought." The royal wife and her legitimate children will attend."
Mammy couldn't explain it clearly, but Liu Anan understood it as soon as she heard it.
Like my mother, her current status is too embarrassing, so she definitely won’t be able to go, but it’s better not to go.
Palace banquets are the easiest time to make small moves in private.
In those palace-fighting novels, people would often get their clothes wet, or poison them, or something like that.
Like the last time I fell into the water, this old trick.
Such an old trick is often the most effective method. No matter whether you are old or not, just use it.
Liu Anan really didn't want to attend this banquet or that banquet. Not only did he eat well, there were too many rules, and he even had to risk his life. Thinking about it gave him a headache.
However, she had to go anyway. Not to mention that she was the head of the county, but her father was the Marquis of Dingguo and her grandfather was the chief censor, so she had to go.
Since she is going, Grandma Jin must make complete preparations for her girl in advance to avoid any accidents.
Liu Anan doesn't need to worry about these things, she doesn't know much about them anyway, so the experienced Granny Jin will take care of everything.
Sure enough, three days later, the third brother of the Chu family came, and the adoptive father and others would arrive in Beijing this afternoon.
At this time, it was already less than three minutes later. Liu Anan quickly packed up and followed his third brother to meet his adoptive father and adoptive mother outside the city.
There was a resting tea shed outside the city, and the brother and sister sat in the tea shed and waited.
Seeing a group of people in the distance, the brother and sister both turned and looked over. They got closer and saw clearly, "It's not our father. It looks like he is a military general returning to Beijing."
Third Young Master Chu muttered.
"When will the second brother arrive in Beijing?" Liu Anan asked.
The barbarian royal court was defeated in the Western Region, and the second brother was also commended by the Holy Emperor. He will definitely return to Beijing this time.
"Second brother sent back the news yesterday that he will be arriving in Beijing a few days later. However, my brother-in-law cannot come back this time. Although the Barbarian Royal Court has negotiated peace, they are not convinced. My brother-in-law's secret service camp has a heavy responsibility."
The spy camp was named by Liu Anan. These people were carefully selected and received special training to spy on information about the enemy.
Originally, in the army, the person responsible for this special task was the scout.
When Liu Anan was in the Western Region, he casually said a few words about spies, which were adopted by Lian Sheng.
Third Young Master Chu called his brother-in-law very smoothly.
Liu Anan rolled his eyes, "I even said in Brother Sheng's letter that he has a mission and is doing something big."
Seeing the mysterious look on the younger sister's face, Mr. Chu was also amused.
At this time, the team of men and horses had also arrived, and a white character was written on the big flag in front, "It turns out to be General Bai Mingming, the defender of Liaodong." Third Young Master Chu turned his head and whispered to Liu An'an.
Liaodong guard general Bai Tianming, Liu Anan really knows this name.
General Bai is also a tiger general, but he does not have much interaction with the second brother of the Chu family or his biological father.
So the brother and sister both looked away, and soon the team walked over.
Half an hour later, the Chu Mansion's carriage finally arrived.
Liu Anan came out of the tea shed and ran towards the carriage. Third Young Master Chu, Qing Yi and Lu Yi followed closely behind to protect her.
Sitting in the carriage were Master Chu and Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Zhu.
At this time, Mrs. Zhu opened the car window and saw the little girl running towards the carriage, her face was full of joy.
"Master, it's girl An'an."
Mr. Chu also squeezed to the car window and took a look, hey, my little girl is here!
Liu Anan also saw two friendly faces in the car window, waving his arms and shouting: "Father, stepmother!"
The carriage stopped steadily.
Master Chu and his wife got off the carriage, and Mrs. Chu opened her arms and hugged the little girl who rushed forward.
"Foster mother, I miss you so much!" Liu An'an threw herself into Mrs. Chu's arms, rubbing her little head against her. Mrs. Chu almost burst into tears of joy.
"Humph, don't you miss me?"
Mr. Chu was deliberately stern.
Liu An'an hurriedly got out of her adoptive mother's arms, stepped forward and hugged Mr. Chu's arm again, shaking her back and forth, "Father, An An misses you too, hehe."
"Dad, my son misses you too."
Third Young Master Chu also came up and wanted to hold his father's arm, but was rejected by Master Chu.
Mrs. Chu also had a look of disgust, and she pulled Liu Anan into the carriage, and Mr. Chu followed suit.
Only Mr. Chu was standing on the roadside, blowing the cold wind.
