On New Year's Eve, the Luo Mansion was decorated with lights and prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner. There were many servants, slaves and maids inside and outside. However, most of these people were sent from Youzhou after training for 60% and rarely rented locally. In this way, the mansion was disciplined and the news was blocked. It was difficult for outsiders to get inquire about the Luo Mansion.

Luo Zhaoyun was with Ning Muhe and Xiao Yiyi at home and ate dumplings together, staying up all night long. In the cold weather, the snow was bright and the red lights were swaying.

The three of them were waiting for midnight in the front hall. The cold wind outside the window blew from the wooden window frames on all sides, and the formwork was blowing, carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms, giving people a feeling of being truly pure after all the prosperity.

Thanks to Luo Zhaoyun's company, both of the two girls felt that this year's New Year's Eve was particularly fulfilling and happy, no longer having a cold fur and empty tent, and staying alone in the empty room.

The long night was long, and the three of them drank some wine to add to the festive atmosphere. Xiao Yiyi played the piano music, which was melodious and beautiful, while Ning Muhe danced a piece of Yue Girl's sword technique. The hall was full of graceful figures and sword light curtains.

Luo Zhaoyun leaned on the bench, wore a long dress, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and felt like jade. He felt this feeling of family.

………………

Gao Yufei stayed alone in the quiet courtyard, with food, wine and food ready, but she was a little lonely alone. Thinking that the life and death of her own tribe were uncertain, many heroes died, and she felt a little sad.

However, being able to escape from death and reunite with the man she missed more than once made up for the regrets in her heart.

Especially in the past few days, she spent a while alone with Luo Zhaoyun every day. The more she felt that others had outstanding character, both civil and military, elegant conversation, and novel words. She was really different from any man she had seen in the past years. It can be said that she was unique and even more admired. It would be fake if she didn't feel moved.

………….

The New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, the grand banquet was held, the empress, concubine, concubine, beauties and others in the palace gathered together, and the princesses and grandchildren, and princesses also arrived to accompany Emperor Yang of Sui for a reunion dinner.

Because Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to seize power to show off his love and expressed his loyalty, he had few concubines and basically gave birth to Empress Xiao, so there were not many children, and the number of them was small, and the princess died young. Now, the elders are Yang Hung, the eldest princess Yang Caihuan, and the young princess Yang Caiyu.

Although he accepted many concubines after ascending the throne, there were not many princes and princesses in four or five years.

The singing and dancing were graceful and the music was subdued. Emperor Yang of Sui was absent-mindedly watching the singing and dancing performance, and was still thinking about how to arrest the rioters and attack Goguryeo.

The little princess Yang Caiyu looked lonely and felt even more unconscious. She hadn't seen Luo Zhaoyun for many days. The feeling of passionate love, once she parted, suffered a lot, and was tortured, and she would be in the palace all day long, and she had no excuse to leave the palace to go to Luo Mansion, so she couldn't be happy every day.

Queen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally saw that her little daughter was depressed, and knew some of the reasons. She sighed gently, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, would she continue to summon Luo Zhaoyun into the palace? However, when she thought about the embarrassment of meeting each other, as the queen of Mother Yixia, she was indulging in the bed without any clothes. He saw it clearly, and just thinking about it, she felt blushing and uncomfortable all over.

………….

The New Year is a good holiday, and it is the eve of the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

On that afternoon, it was not yet dark, and Luo Zhaoyun came back from the Youxiaowei Mansion Office. The housekeeper told him in the yard that a scholar and doctor came to ask for a meeting and waited in the main hall for tea. He asked about the name, which was Yu Shinan, who had met once in Yang Zhao's mansion.

Yu Shinan's brother Yu Shiji was a secretary of the Inner History and Minister of State who was in charge of the government affairs. He was very favored by Emperor Yang of Sui.

At present, the people of Chang'an City are all rumored that Yuwen Shu, Su Wei, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and Luo Zhaoyun are the six nobles of the court!

"Yu Shinan is a member of the Nine Ministers' Residences, and he is a fifth-rank official. He comes to me, so it should not be a political official."

Luo Zhaoyun walked to the next hall to meet Yu Shinan, while thinking about the other party's purpose.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Yu Shinan wearing a light blue robe and jacket, dressed in a Confucian scholar, without gorgeous brocade furs or jade pendants all over her body. She was ordinary, but she became even more scholarly.

"General Luo, you are back home."

"Yushuren, why do you have free time today and come to your humble house? I wonder what you can do to teach me?"

Yu Shinan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm here to find you, and I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, is there anything wrong?"

"The Lantern Festival is here in two days. Some literati and doctors in the Dongdu plan to gather together to gather together. It is a banquet for enjoying snow, cooking wine, talking about literature and poetry. At that time, many talented people and literati in Chang'an will go. Although General Luo is a military general, his poems have long been compiled, and many good articles have been praised, and many people are still unsatisfied. If you want to communicate in person, please be sure to attend tomorrow."

Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly. When talking about literature, I could hear it. In fact, I wrote poetry and essays, except for memorizing some famous quotes, I could not write poetry and essays by myself, and it was impossible for me to write poetry and essays by these great scholars of the Sui Dynasty.

"I don't need it." Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to participate in this kind of poetry and prose feast, and was worried that he would make a fool of himself.

Yu Shinan said: "That won't work. Before coming, many scholars and officials were asking whether General Luo would participate, which shows his expectations for you. In addition, there is also a mysterious guest who also named him and hopes you can go."

"Mysterious guest? Who?" Luo Zhaoyun asked in confusion.

"This must be kept confidential for the time being, otherwise, there will be no mystery when you say it, and you will not want to go there."

Luo Zhaoyun was hesitant. Although he didn't like to discuss articles, this was indeed a good opportunity to get to know a literati. If he didn't go there, this circle would probably reject him behind his back, saying that he was arrogant, arrogant, and did not take literati seriously. That would be a mistake.

After all, a literati opens his mouth and a branch. Sometimes, attacking one person is enough to ruin his reputation and be infamous for thousands of years.

For example, Cao Cao was an important figure in history. He was a hero in the troubled times, in the corruption of the late Han Dynasty and in the chaos of the world, he relied on his own to gather heroes and seek the country, and at least maintained the stability of the north, so that the areas north of the Yangtze River could stabilize, and the people could recuperate, and even made reserve work to unify the country and protect the orthodox culture of the Central Plains. He made great contributions.

However, a novel by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a literati, describes him as a thief who steals the country and bears the eternal infamous reputation. Do you think it is wronged?

Did Cao Cao steal the world of the Han Dynasty? Why was the Eastern Han Dynasty chaotic? It was because the dynasty was corrupt, the social system and contradictions had been seriously damaged, and a new regime had to appear to replace it. It can be said that Cao Cao took the world in accordance with the historical trend, and the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was just a consequence of his own fault.

However, in the specific historical period of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, later literati, in order to allusion that the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was not orthodox, they longed for the Han people to support the world and overthrow tyranny, so they wrote it from the perspective of Shu Han as orthodox and derogated Cao Cao. There were very complex social reasons and personal feelings in this.

Yu Shinan urged: "You must go, and prepare a banquet, which will be set up in the Yanyu Building of your Luo family!"
