Liu Ruozhu was squatting on the ground with her green dress spread out on the ground, picking up the ashes that had fallen from the incense burner bit by bit into her handkerchief.
When the personal maid came over, she didn't see Liu Ruozhu and Yan Erlang, a handsome couple, standing together. She only saw her wife squatting on the ground collecting charcoal ashes.
Looking closely, the incense burner seemed to be the one used by Yan Erlang before.
The maid was bewildered: "Madam, where is Erlang? Didn't you come here to talk to him when you had the chance?"
Liu Ruozhu replied: "He's gone."
The maid was stunned, stamped her feet, and hurriedly called the young lady to get up, and she came to clean up the charcoal ash. During this time, the maid carefully raised her eyes and saw that her wife had a look of loss on her face.
Liu Ruozhu's long eyelashes were thick and her face was a little red. If you look closely, you can see traces of crying.
But she just smiled at the maid who cared about her: "It turns out that what Grandpa said was right. Erlang has other girls in his heart, and Grandpa told me not to think too much. I still don't accept it... Today is New Year's Eve, and seeing Erlang so anxious to leave, I know that he really has other girls in his heart."
A month ago, Liu Ruozhu asked her grandfather whether he had mentioned marriage to Yan Shang.
At that time, Mr. Liu stroked her hair and sighed, "It's Grandpa's fault. I dragged you into this without asking clearly before. But I vaguely saw that Su Chen had someone in his heart, so you should stop interfering."
At that time, Liu Ruozhu didn't believe it. However, she was a lady from a big family, and she couldn't do such a thing as running out of the house to ask Yan Shang. So until today, Liu Ruozhu saw it with her own eyes, and then she was convinced.
The maid asked, "Did the lady ask who the girl Erlang likes is?"
Liu Ruozhu shook his head.
The maid was anxious: "Madam, are you just giving up like that? What if that girl is not as good as you? Madam, are you not going to fight for it?"
Liu Ruozhu's eyes were as gentle as a river, and she smiled sadly: "The girl he likes must be very good. Why should I humiliate myself?"
The maid was too confused and really didn't understand Liu Ruozhu's thoughts.
In the maid's opinion, if she likes someone and her family is powerful, she can force him to do anything. As the grandson-in-law of Mr. Liu, could she still let Yan Erlang down?
But Liu Ruozhu said, "Of course it's good to be the grandson-in-law of my husband, but you can't force him. Besides, he is my grandfather's disciple. How can I do something like that and cause a quarrel between him and my grandfather?"
Maid: "But the teacher is like a father, how can he not listen to the teacher? This is unfilial."
Liu Ruozhu said in a sweet voice: "But why should I force someone to stay? I can keep the person, but not the heart. Throughout the ages, how many people in powerful families have ended up with a life of love and death because of this reason. Yan Erlang and I are in the prime of our youth, why do we have to force each other to that point?
"I don't want to be a bad girl who bullies others by taking advantage of her power."
The maid looked up at Liu Ruozhu.
She didn't quite understand Liu Ruozhu's thoughts. This young lady with a bamboo-like temperament and a calm mind was personally raised by Mr. Liu. How could such a young lady's knowledge and conversation be comparable to that of ordinary girls? In the eyes of the maid, Yan Erlang was not worthy of her own girl.
The maid said seriously, "Madam, you are right to think so. Madam, you have a broad field and house palace between your eyebrows, clear and long eyebrows, big and clear eyes, full nose wings, and thick and large eyelids... According to the old people in our place, you have a blessed appearance.
"You will have no worries about food and clothing, and your parents will love you. You will be rich and safe, have sons and daughters, and live a long life. The people around you will also be free from illness and disaster, and enjoy your blessings. With a good face like yours, it will be easy for you to find a marriage. You don't have to stick to just Yan Erlang."
Liu Ruozhu was originally feeling melancholy about her own feelings, but after hearing the maid's serious analysis, her face instantly turned red, and she looked somewhat confused and at a loss.
Liu Ruozhu was shy and wanted to laugh. She stamped her feet and said with a red face, "What nonsense are you talking about! How old am I, and you're already saying 'have two sons and one daughter, and live a long life'. I... I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore!"
Liu Ruozhu turned and ran out of the corridor. When she got outside, she was startled and felt her forehead was wet. She stretched out her hand and snowflakes fell into her palm.
It was evening and it began to snow.
Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.
Hopefully next year will be a good one.
Liu Ruozhu prayed happily, but couldn't help wondering: Who is the girl Yan Erlang likes? What kind of girl can make a man like him like her?
Although she has decided to let it go...but she is still very curious.
-----
Yan Shang left Prime Minister Liu's mansion and went to find Wei Shu.
He wanted to stay up with Mu Wanyao, but he also knew that Mu Wanyao was in the palace presiding over the ceremony, and she would probably be back very late tonight. Moreover, a man and a woman alone... He always felt that it might not be a good idea for them to be alone together.
It's too suggestive, maybe Mu Wanyao won't like it.
He thought to himself that after all, she was not serious about relationships, and he was afraid that his unnecessary actions would scare her away again.
So I thought of Wei Shu.
Although Wei Shu was from the Luoyang Wei family, he was spending the New Year in Chang'an this year, and he was not going to his elder brother's house, so he must be alone. Wei Shu was still so young.
Yan Shang felt a little sorry for a 15-year-old boy who had just become a censor and offended a lot of people, and had to spend the New Year alone. Yan Shang planned to go and see if Wei Shu was really alone, so he would ask Wei Shu to go to the princess's mansion together to see if he could stay there and wait for Mu Wanyao to come back.
-----
When the snow fell in the evening, the palace banquet began.
This was the first time Mu Wanyao hosted such a grand banquet. She entered the palace at dawn and has been busy ever since.
Seeing the court officials taking their seats one by one and the envoys from various countries being led forward one by one, Mu Wan relaxed the tension in her heart a little bit.
When the royal family came, it was the prince who came with his brothers and sisters.
The prince nodded to Mu Wan, encouraging her for doing a good job.
Mu Wanyao relaxed a little when she saw the prince's smile. The princess, holding her two children and one of the prince's favorite concubines, stood behind the prince and smiled at Mu Wanyao in a friendly manner.
After Mu Wanyao greeted them, she felt like someone was missing. She looked behind the prince, and sure enough, she didn't see Yang Si.
Mu Wanyao asked in surprise, "Is Yang San going to sit with the Yang family tonight?"
That's what I said.
The Crown Princess was speechless for a moment: The Sixth Princess felt that Yang San was like living in the East Palace, and it was actually very strange in the eyes of the Sixth Princess that Yang Si was going to sit at the table with the Yang family.
The prince coughed and said, "It doesn't matter who I sit with. He's not here tonight."
The prince said, "He should have come back, but on his way back, he encountered a snowstorm. According to his letter, he was trapped. I have waited for him all day today, and now I am sure that he will not be able to return to Chang'an. It will probably take a few days for him to come back."
Mu Wan shook her head.
The prince looked behind him and sighed, "I am usually very annoyed with him and think he is causing me trouble. Now that he is not here, I miss him a little bit."
Mu Wan smiled and said, "But I think Yang San must be very happy now."
The prince couldn't help laughing and said, "After leaving my jurisdiction, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. Naturally, he is very happy now. Chang'an is prosperous, but he doesn't like it very much."
Mu Wanyao said, "Then Big Brother should also consider his opinion. If you always keep a wild horse tied to your side, the horse will naturally be obedient, but it will also become useless, right?"
The prince looked at Mu Wanyao thoughtfully. He could not tell whether she said this simply to help Yang Si or for some other purpose, such as wanting to reduce the prince's leverage in Chang'an... The prince just said, "It shows that you still have a good relationship with him. You care about him so much."
As he was speaking, a voice beside him sneered, "You two siblings are quite affectionate."
The Crown Prince, Mu Wanyao and the others turned back and saw the gorgeously dressed Princess Luling approaching. The tail of her skirt trailed behind her, and the maids carefully lifted the princess' skirt. Princess Luling turned her eyes over here, her face painted in gold and red, her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous.
Although she is nearly forty years old, she has been well maintained and looks no worse than a girl in her twenties.
The prince then led Mu Wanyao and the others to pay their respects: "Aunt, long time no see."
Princess Luling sneered: "Thanks to you, it's been a long time since we last met."
The prince stopped talking.
Princess Luling has disappeared from Chang'an for half a year. Now she is taking advantage of the grand ceremony to come out and about, obviously planning to take this opportunity to return to Chang'an.
Neither the Crown Prince nor Mu Wanyao intended to argue with this aunt. After what happened before, Princess Luling was already seriously injured, and now she was just bluffing. If Princess Luling wanted to come back, then she could come back.
As they were talking, the chief eunuch arrived, and shouts rang out behind the drumbeats.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
At that moment, all the people from the Great Wei who were gossiping at the banquet, and the envoys from small countries who were following the officials from the Honglu Temple and speaking in foreign languages, all looked towards the empty space between the two rows of seats.
Look at the red and yellow sedan chair.
On the sedan chair, the emperor wore the court dress that he would only wear for solemn memorial ceremonies. He wore a gilded square crown, a dark-colored robe with a cross collar and a golden dragon pattern, and a crimson gauze covering his knees.
She wore a crane cloak over her dress, and outside the sedan chair, snow was flying in the sky.
Under the pitch-black sky, two rows of eunuchs were holding lanterns in front, and the imperial guards were following with swords. Everyone's eyes were looking up at the middle-aged man sitting on the sedan chair.
That was the Emperor of Wei.
The monarch of the Great Wei, whom the four small countries called "King and Father".
There was silence everywhere, the dense crowd knelt down, and the sound was overwhelming—
"Your Majesty, welcome—"
The sedan chair stopped, the black shoes stepped on the lichen, and the emperor stepped out. With cold eyes, he looked at all the court officials, concubines in the inner palace, children in the outer palace, and foreign envoys.
In front of everyone, he is the only king.
The emperor said calmly: "All the ministers, please stand up."
-----
The door of Princess Danyang's mansion was knocked open, and the steward led Yan Shang and Wei Shu in.
The maids in the inner house came out in a hurry, and when they saw the two people coming, they were a little dazed for a moment.
The words are elegant, Wei Shuqing.
The two of them came out of the snow, walking one after the other on the corridor of the princess's mansion. The proud posture of the young men made people yearn for them. When they looked from the side, their eyes were dark and cold.
There was a smile in Yan Shang's eyes and Wei Shu was as solemn as snow, which made the maids blush and their hearts beat fast.
Qiu Shu, one of the princess' personal maids, came forward, bowed, and said, "Sister Xia Rong has come to the palace with His Highness. I am in charge of the princess's residence tonight. My princess is not here tonight, so I wonder why the two gentlemen are here?"
Yan Shang bowed gently and said, "...It is a bit presumptuous for Juyuan and I to come here. However, both of us have received your grace, and we have nothing to do tonight, so we want to come to your house to visit your highness."
Qiu Shu was surprised and said, "But my princess is not here!"
Yan Shang lowered his eyes: "So... we have to wait."
Without waiting for Qiu Shu to continue to refuse, he said, "On the way here, I saw that the princess's mansion had nothing prepared, and it looked quite desolate. Even if Your Highness is in the palace, you all have to stay at the mansion to celebrate the New Year. Why not decorate it a little? Maybe when Your Highness comes back and sees the mansion that has been renovated and has a New Year atmosphere, she will be very happy."
Qiu Shu was at a loss, thinking that their house never decorated anything during the New Year.
Before the princess was married, the princess mansion was hastily built for her to get married. After that, the princess only lived here for a few months before marrying to Wuman. When the princess came back here again, although she spent two New Years here, she had to go to the palace on New Year's Eve, and the mansion had not been decorated.
Qiu Shu hesitated: "We never decorate... Our Highness likes quietness."
There are no words yet.
After a while, he said, "Look at His Highness' usual preferences... Does it seem like he likes quietness?"
Everyone was speechless after hearing this.
Mu Wanyao usually wears a bright red long dress and has complicated and exquisite makeup, either gold or silver... She is like a magnificent and dazzling palace, and there is really no sign of her having any lonely hobbies.
The people in the princess's mansion were at a loss, but because of the tacit understanding between Yan Shang and their princess over the past few months, and because Yan Erlang was very good at speaking, they were easily persuaded by Yan Erlang and decided to decorate the mansion and wait for the princess to come back.
If the princess comes back angry... Yan Erlang will be there to take care of her.
Wei Shu watched Yan Shang communicating with the maids, and he didn't say anything.
With Second Brother Yan around, Wei Shu naturally didn't say anything. He just watched Second Brother Yan and the maids in the princess's mansion get along well, and Wei Shu's eyes flashed, as if he realized something.
-----
At the palace banquet, envoys from various countries came to congratulate and wish the emperor a happy birthday, and presented treasures from various countries.
In the presence of the Honglu Temple, the small countries' greetings, which were ignorant of etiquette, were all written with great respect, full of admiration for the great country. They were nothing more than "the Celestial Empire" and "we are barbarians", which were understandable to the people of the Great Wei but not to the envoys of the small countries.
Anyway, after the officials from the Honglu Temple finished reading their congratulatory messages aloud, the emperor on the throne ordered people to give rewards.
The treasures bestowed by the Emperor of Wei were several times more than those offered by small countries.
The great Wei wants fame, and the small country wants profit. In this way, both sides are happy.
After the last small country had paid tribute, the dancers in the palace came on stage to perform singing and dancing. Mu Wanyao, who had been watching the entire process from the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in her seat.
At this point, her mission was basically completed. The subsequent performances and exchanges of skills between the small countries and the Great Wei were always much easier than the previous pilgrimages.
All the ministers and concubines began to eat and watch the dance.
An eunuch whispered something in Mu Wanyao's ear. Mu Wanyao turned his head and saw that Princess Luling took the opportunity to lead people to the emperor while everyone was watching the singing and dancing. Knowing what this aunt was going to do, Mu Wanyao just curled her lips and whispered, "Don't worry about it."
The eunuch withdrew.
Where the emperor was sitting, Princess Luling greeted her brother with a very aggrieved look. She looked at the emperor carefully and saw that his face was thin and his expression was cold, but tonight he looked... Is he in good health?
After Princess Luling paid her respects, she was a little flustered when she saw that the emperor only looked at her indifferently. Princess Luling quickly asked someone to present the one-meter-high red coral tree that she had collected with great difficulty.
This red coral tree was cut into the shape of a singing girl with flying sleeves and the red cloth covering it was spread out. As soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
The emperor also looked at it and said, "A red coral this high... is it not good to get?"
Princess Luling felt a lump in her throat, so she fell on the emperor's lap and began to talk about how difficult it was for her. She said that she wanted to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor, but she had no one to help her, and how hard it had been for her over the past six months.
She raised her head, lay on the emperor's knees, and begged, "Brother, Jiaojiao was wrong before, and she has already realized her mistake. Please love Jiaojiao again. I dare not go out now. No one has invited me to any banquet in Chang'an in the past six months... I am a princess, why do I feel like I am in prison?"
The Emperor looked down at her.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Okay, get up. It's not easy for you either. Don't pick on good-looking men anymore. Men have dignity. Who wants to be beaten and scolded by you all day? I don't know how many of your former lovers helped you fall this time. You are so old, but you still make me worry. If you are like this, who will take care of you when I am gone?"
The previous words were nothing, but when Princess Luling heard him say this, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
I actually felt a little ashamed and betrayed.
She secretly exchanged conditions with the prince behind the emperor's back and was imprisoned for half a year, but when the prince ascended the throne, she could at least keep peace. The emperor didn't know this and was still worried about her...
Princess Luling choked up and said, "I hope my brother lives a long life."
The emperor said, "That's not necessary. If I live a hundred years, I will become an old man. In the underworld, Ah Nuan won't recognize me.
"Ah Nuan, don't you think so?"
The emperor looked at the open space next to him.
On the other side, the eunuch Cheng An had long been accustomed to the emperor's hysteria and stood with his sleeves folded.
When Princess Luling saw the emperor fall ill for the first time, she looked at the empty space beside the emperor in horror. She could not imagine that the death of her sister-in-law had dealt such a heavy blow to her brother.
At this time, the singing and dancing below stopped. The singers and dancers withdrew, but an envoy from a small country came out from the banquet and stood in the center. He imitated the etiquette of the Great Wei Dynasty and bowed to the emperor on the high seat.
Sitting at the table, Mu Wan waved her silver chopsticks, and the meatball she was about to pick up fell off the chopsticks. She looked up at the man who walked to the center.
That person glanced at her.
It was Meng Zaishi.
Meng Zaishi spoke in a loud voice to the emperor in the high place, using the Wei dialect that he was not very familiar with: "Your Majesty, I am the new King of Wuman. Wuman and Wei have an alliance. Wei will marry the emperor's daughter to Wuman, and Wuman will stop fighting with the border troops. The two sides will negotiate peace for a hundred years.
"I am standing here today, which means that even if Wuman has a new king, Wuman is still willing to abide by this agreement and respect Your Majesty as the 'king and father'.
“But there is a clause in the contract, which states that the princess of Wei will become the queen of Wuman. This is the true covenant.
“And we Wuman have always had a tradition that when a successor to the Wuman King is crowned, he will unconditionally inherit all the inheritance left by the previous king, including his wife.
"Therefore, I ask my father to marry Princess Danyang to me again. Princess Danyang and I should return to Wuman and live in harmony for a hundred years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall, which had been filled with whispers, fell silent.
The prince suddenly tensed up and couldn't help but look up at his father.
The jade beads were placed in front of the emperor's crown, blocking all prying eyes from below, but the emperor was observing them from above.
Seeing that Wuman King Meng Zaishi was standing tall and straight, and speaking straightforwardly, Wuman probably spent a lot of time thinking about these words;
The ministers were whispering among themselves, and the ministers who had been close to Princess Danyang in the past year could not sit still several times, their eyes showing worry;
On the royal side, Princess Luling didn't care at all and just watched a show. Prince Jin lowered his head and didn't comment. Prince Qin looked somewhat excited, and the Crown Prince's eyes flickered with a slight hesitation.
The emperor looked at Mu Wanyao again.
Mu Wanyao stared at Meng Zaishi with cold eyes.
It seems like he is trying to uncover the truth and is being covered in stone.
The emperor curled his lips, finding it interesting.
-----
The snow was spread all over the ground, as cool as silver moonlight.
In the princess's mansion, maids came in and out, beginning to belatedly prepare the cakes and sacrificial offerings for the New Year's Eve.
The guards were busy in front, hanging red lanterns with Yan and Wei. Yan Shang even went back to his own mansion next door to get things that the princess's mansion didn't have. They were all prepared during the New Year in Lingnan, and his family sent them to him from afar, and now they have all arrived at the princess's mansion.
The two mansions were merged into one tonight, and Yan Shang's servants came and went, helping to decorate the princess' mansion.
For a moment, the princess's mansion really looked brand new, as if it was ready for the New Year.
Yan Shang and Wei Shu led people to hang lanterns in the alley. According to him, the princess should have lanterns to light up the alley as soon as she returned. It should be from the entrance of the alley that everything changed.
Standing in the alley, Wei Shu held a lantern and watched Yan Shang step on a ladder and draw lines on the wall so that the distance between each lantern would be the same.
Yan Shang stood on the ladder and asked Wei Shu below: "Can you see more clearly from below? Is this position accurate?"
Wei Shu suddenly asked: "Do you like the princess?"
Yan Shang froze, and he turned around and looked down at Wei Shu below. With such a big movement, the bamboo ladder was unstable, and his sleeves flew up, and he fell off the ladder.
Wei Shu's eyes narrowed, and when he heard a "thump" sound, both the man and the ladder fell down together and fell on the snow.
The snow on the trees was also shaken off, floating down from the branches and pouring into the alley like rain.
Wei Shu quickly put the lantern on the ground and tried to dig out the person buried in the snow, confused and panicked: "Second Brother Yan? Are you okay?"
Yan Shang's voice was muffled under the snow, softly: "It's okay."
A slender hand holding a ladder emerged from under the snow. Yan Shang sat on the ground and shook off the snow on his face and shoulders.
Wei Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine. The young man squatted beside him, looking at Yan Erlang's embarrassment, and said slowly: "...Are you feeling sorry for me, so you are flustered?"
The alley was quiet, and the lanterns were swaying in the snow, all red. Sitting on the ground, Yan Shang looked up and met Wei Shu's dark eyes.
-----
At the palace banquet, Meng Zaishi's words caused a huge uproar.
The prince held a wine jar in his hand and observed secretly.
Among the ministers, one minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as the same princess marrying twice in the Wei Dynasty! In the wild land, the idea that the new king inherits everything from the previous king is ridiculous and the biggest joke in the world! If Princess Danyang is allowed to marry again, and she is the new king of Wuman, it will be a shame for the Wei Dynasty!"
The prince looked and saw that the first minister who spoke for Princess Danyang was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue had been Mu Wanyao's staff member and came from Princess Danyang's residence. Of course, the Minister of Revenue was now loyal to the Crown Prince, but before the Crown Prince, the Minister of Revenue was also Mu Wanyao's man.
As the princess' former aide, it was natural for the Minister of Revenue to be the first to speak up for Mu Wanyao.
Mu Wan raised his eyes and looked at the middle-aged official standing among the ministers.
With the first one, it was much easier for the next minister to stand up: "Your Majesty, you must not agree to Wuman's request for marriage. Even if you marry again, it should not be Princess Danyang. The same princess should not marry Wuman twice!"
But the next minister who stood up sneered: "What you said is absurd. The alliance between Wei and Wuman was signed by Princess Danyang to marry. Since Wuman has its own traditions, we should respect them. You are pedantic and don't want women to remarry! Princesses have the right to remarry!"
The prince looked and realized that the person who was speaking was on the side of the King of Qin.
Of course, the King of Qin hoped that Mu Wanyao would leave and cut off the prince's arm.
Another military officer stood up and said loudly: "The princess should not marry! Princess Danyang's mission has been completed. The marriage to Wuman mentioned in the letter refers to the former Wuman King. There is absolutely no reason for her to marry again."
Another official objected: "The contract between Wuman and our Great Wei can be fulfilled to this point because we abide by the agreement. The King of Wuman has already made a request, and Princess Danyang should marry him for the sake of the country!"
The two sides were arguing fiercely.
The emperor above was watching and thought that Mu Wanyao's position in the court was no longer the same as before.
So many ministers actually stood on Mu Wanyao's side.
It can be seen that Mu Wanyao's ups and downs in the past year have really paid off.
The prince saw that everyone had different opinions and that half of the people on both sides had supported the other side, so he knew that it was time for him to leave. He winked at someone nearby, and an eunuch quietly left the table and went to the center of the envoys.
As the Crown Princess sat trembling with fear beside the Crown Prince, she saw another envoy from a small country standing up from between the seats and laughed:
"Wu Man has asked to marry Princess Danyang! Although our country is small, we also admire the princess's beauty and ask Your Majesty to grant us the marriage!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
-----
On the snow outside the princess's mansion, Yan Shang looked at Wei Shu and said slowly: "Yes, I like her and admire him.
"Juyuan...I'm sorry, but I want to marry her."
Wei Shu was stunned. He didn't expect that someone as reserved as Yan Shang would say such words to him.
Wei Shu said softly: "It's hard to marry her."
Yan Shang covered his eyes with his eyelashes: "I am not afraid of those difficulties. What I am afraid of is that she is unwilling to marry me."
-----
At the palace banquet, everyone held their own opinion.
The ministers were divided into two factions, and there were also some in the middle, such as Liu Xianggong, who did not express their opinions.
The Wuman King Meng Zaishi once again emphasized that he wanted to marry Mu Wanyao.
Three or four envoys from small countries joined in and asked for Princess Danyang to marry their kings.
For a while, there were fights on all sides and it was very lively.
"Bang——" During the quarrel, a glass cup fell out and did not fall on the lichen, but rolled on the blue bricks.
The voice was crisp, and everyone looked at Princess Danyang Mu Wanyao who had thrown the cup and stood up.
Mu Wan looked at all of them and smiled slightly: "It's easy to marry me. What you said makes sense. I am just a princess who was married off. How difficult is it for me to marry again? It all depends on your ability.
"Come and admire me. I will marry whoever I like."
Her eyes were cold and smiling, and she stabbed Meng Zaishi through the crowd: "If you want to marry me, then come and pursue me, come and win my heart. Does King Wuman dare to come?"
