Chapter 372 It’s New Year’s Eve again

Xin You saw that it was Xie Zhangyuan and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you Zhangyuan."

 She has great respect for this master.

Xie Zhangyuan smiled and said: "Thank you for the imperial edict, I want to know some details of promoting the New Deal. My brother-in-law is a rough man, and he is afraid that his lack of flexibility will affect the performance of the storyteller."

Xin You returned to the Hanlin Academy with Xie Zhangyuan, and carefully explained the key points of promoting the New Deal, and finally said: "There is a person here in Xiaguan. He can complete it according to Xiaguan's idea of ​​what effect the actor wants to perform and how the storyteller cooperates. Very good. If Yong Anbo needs it, he can go north with those storytellers and actors."

 This person is the bandit Xiaoba.

 Xiao Ba is mediocre in martial arts and not very courageous, but he is very good at communication and execution. This time the rehearsal between the storyteller and the actors was left to him.

“Of course that’s good, I’d like to express my gratitude to Yong An Bo in advance.”

 “Your Majesty, you are very polite.”

When I returned to Xin's house, I told Xiaoba about this matter. Xiaoba was stunned for a long time and asked in disbelief: "You asked the villain to lead the storyteller to the north?"

Xin You: “…” It’s not really a leader.

“It’s cold in the north. If you don’t want to go, then—”

Xiao Ba quickly intercepted Xin You's words: "I am willing, I am so willing!"

He is a bandit and can lead a group of people to the North to work for the emperor. He is considered a member of the imperial court. This is an honor that he has never dreamed of!

 “Girl, when are you leaving?”

"It's urgent. We'll leave in two days." Xin You said with a smile.

Xinyou expected that Xiaoba was willing to go. But she also has backup options. If Xiaoba doesn't want to go north, she can change someone.

"Two days from now?" Xiaoba was startled, then patted his head, "Girl, is there nothing going on at home today?"

"how?"

"If nothing happens, I want to go to Wuyun Village." Xiaoba's eyes flickered and he tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, "Why don't you say goodbye to Sixth Brother and the others?"

 Go and show off to Brother Six immediately, you can’t wait even a moment!

 “It’s time to say goodbye, let’s go.”

Xiao Bamei responded with a wide-eyed smile, and walked out step by step, humming a little tune in his mouth.

 “Sister Xiaolian!”

Xiao Lian came in with the cooked sweet rice wine and was startled by Xiao Ba's shout.

"Why are you so loud?" Xiaolian rolled her eyes at Xiaoba. After entering the room, she put the sweet rice wine on the table and wondered, "I don't know why Xiaoba is so crazy. He jumps up and down like a monkey when he walks. "

When mentioning monkeys, Xiaolian suddenly remembered: "Girl, do you still remember the monkey in Qianying Mountain?"

"of course I remember."

Xiao Lian sighed: “I don’t know what happened to the monkey.”

  She always felt that the monkey was destined to them, but it was a pity that the girl did not raise it.

Xin You often travels around, and is far more open-minded about this chance encounter than Xiao Lian. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I will definitely live a good life if I return to the mountains and forests that are suitable for her."

The master and servant were chatting about home affairs, while Xiao Ba galloped on his horse and rushed all the way to Wuyun Village.

It was already getting dark at this time. When the Sixth Master heard that Xiao Ba was coming, his heart skipped a beat: Could something have happened?

When he saw Xiao Ba with a happy face, Head Six's heart fell back into his stomach.

“Xiaoba, why are you here at this time?”

"Come and see Sixth Brother!" Xiaoba smiled from ear to ear, "I'm going out in two days, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."

“Going out?” Head Six patted Xiaoba on the shoulder, “It’s almost the New Year, where are you going?”

“Sixth brother, have you heard about the New Deal? The New Deal is advancing smoothly in the south, and the storytellers that the girl has recruited have made great contributions. Long live the storytellers to go north to promote the New Deal and contribute to the court.”

The sixth master narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you going too?" "Yes, the girls who arranged for those storytellers to be sent on errands were left to me. I will take them this time..."

The little boy was talking with lively eyebrows, and the Sixth Master smiled and understood: This kid didn't come to see him, he was clearly here to show off!

 The Sixth Master's first reaction was anger, and his second reaction was jealousy.

 “Xiaoba, you are ready to make a career!”

The sixth master patted Xiaoba on the shoulder hard, causing Xiaoba to stagger.

As soon as he stood firm, he was hit **** the shoulder again: "You have given us Wuyun Village a face!"

 The next day, Master Liu and Xiaoba entered the city together.

After meeting Xin You and having a chance to talk alone, the Sixth Master glanced at Xiao Lian who was standing beside him.

Xiao Lian curled her lips.

This guy is a sneaky dog, does he want to send her out to have a private chat with the girl?

Xinyou nodded towards Xiaolian.

Xiao Lian glanced sideways at Master Liu, turned around and went out.

"Girl, you can't treat one favorably over another!" The sixth head of the house cried out his grievances as soon as Xiaolian left.

 He did feel aggrieved.

Although life in Wuyun Village is comfortable, for a grown man, it is only satisfying to make achievements. Xiaoba was originally his younger brother. If he got an official position in the future and he was still farming in Zhuangzi, where would he put his old face?

“It’s a good thing that Sixth Brother is determined to make progress. There will definitely be opportunities in the future.”

"Seriously?" The Sixth Master's eyes lit up, and he realized that Xin You was not one of his brothers, so he quickly thanked him, "The little man is just waiting for the girl's orders. I promise not to embarrass the girl."

The Sixth Master's trip to show his determination made Xinyou want to send people to sea more and more intensely. However, she knew that the New Deal was just beginning, and it would be unwise to provoke those people further. This matter should not be rushed.

 After that, Xiaoba took a group of storytellers and actors to say goodbye to Xinyou, and was escorted north by a group of officers and soldiers.

　A few days later, it’s New Year’s Eve.

The carriage from the Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion came over. They took Xinyou to the Princess's Mansion first, and then went to the palace together for the banquet.

Princess Zhaoyang hadn’t seen Xin You for a while. She looked at her carefully today and said with a smile, “Fortunately, I’m not tired or thin.”

Xin You also smiled: "With my aunt helping me, I'm not tired."

 She said this for a reason.

The implementation of the New Deal was already full of obstacles. If someone came to the Queen Mother and said something, it would be extra trouble for the Queen Mother to influence the emperor's son.

The task of Princess Zhaoyang is to go to the palace more often to accompany the Queen Mother, and to block the opportunity for some people to follow the Queen Mother's path.

“Ayou, when the warehouses are opened to collect taxes next year, will those places that are trialling the new policy really collect more money?”

Xin You said firmly: "As long as the New Deal is implemented well, it will happen."

“Then my aunt is relieved.” Princess Zhaoyang was mainly worried about the impact of the New Deal on her niece. She was relieved to hear what Xin You said, “If it still doesn’t work in the north, let your cousin try it, so as to save him from tinkering every day...”

 While chatting, we entered the palace and met many concubines on the way to Qianqing Palace.

When the third prince saw Xin You, he walked over quickly and saluted Princess Zhaoyang: "I've met my aunt." Then his eyes were fixed on Xin You's face: "Sister Xin!"

 “His Royal Highness the Third Prince.”

The third prince was a little excited: "Sister Xin, I heard that "Journey to the West" has been put into production?"

Concubine Xian who came over gave her son a helpless look, then entered Qianqing Palace after greeting Princess Zhaoyang and Xin You.
