Chapter 119

"Light a candle and make a wish? What does that mean?" the daughter of a quick talking minister looked puzzled and puzzled at the moment. In fact, not only her, many people are not very clear about this new birthday ceremony.

The snow lady smiled. Before she came, the sixth young master told her the allusions. At this moment, she was full of confidence and said confidently, "It is said that in the fairy world in the sky, people there worship the moon goddess Chang'e very much. Every year, they hold a birthday celebration for her. At the banquet, cakes made of flour and honey are put on, and many lighted candles are inserted on them. They compare the light emitted by the candles to the clear brightness of the moon to express their special worship of the moon goddess. Later, the immortals celebrated When celebrating their children's birthday, they also like to put a cake on the table. Many lighted small candles are inserted into the cake, and the content of blowing out the candles is added. They believe that the burning candles have some magical and secret power. When the birthday people silently make a wish in their heart, they can blow out all the candles in one breath. "

In the story, Artemis is replaced by Chang'e, which is naturally what Yang Chendong intends to do. What he wants is that in the future, the most mainstream culture in the world is Han culture. Even when it comes to immortals, it should be mainly Han immortals. This little story is the beginning of a change.

When the story of snow lady was finished, everyone was curious. Hu Yan also gathered in Yang duo's ear and whispered, "he must have made these things."

"Of course. How about it? You'll be happy when you get married. He has many ghost ideas to ensure that you don't bring a duplicate on your birthday every year." Yang duo said with a joking face. These days, under the care of her sixth brother Yang Chendong, she has become much more lively and cheerful. In the Wang family, there are enough maids around for her to call, so she doesn't have to look at anyone's face. Over time, she also slowly regained her original temperament. She can talk and laugh with Hu Yan, a familiar person.

"Oh, sister duo'er, what are you talking about, annoying." Hu Yan got a big red face and a shy look by this sentence, but only her own heart knows how eager she is to marry Yang Chendong now.

In the center of the venue, 14 edible candles of different colors have been filled on the three-layer cake. After being lit one by one, Princess Suntech crossed her hands and began to make a silent wish with her eyes closed. On the side, snow lady and 14 girls who had already prepared sing softly, "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

In the happy birthday song, Princess Suntech made a wish, opened her red lips under the eyes of the people, blew out the 14 candles with the help of snow lady and other women, and burst into extremely warm applause all around.

After making a wish and blowing out the candles, the next step is to cut the cake. A suitable cutting knife has been handed to Princess Changde, and pieces of cakes of the same size and very symmetrical have been divided. Princess Changde also gave the first two pieces to her royal brother Zhu Qizhen and her royal sister-in-law, empress Qian.

Other women who came to watch the ceremony were also assigned a small piece of cake according to their parents' official position. Just because they had to be distributed to so many people, several large cakes were brought in later, but even so, everyone could only eat a small piece.

Fortunately, the people soon learned from the mouth of snow lady and Mu Lili that such delicious and beautiful cake immortal house has been sold, which is not a disappointment. But at the same time, these women's family members also made a decision, that is, after going back, they will send someone to immortal house to buy a cake to taste. What if it's not a birthday? Who stipulates that such delicious food can't be eaten?

After the birthday song, the cake was also eaten. As mentioned here, the birthday party is already very perfect, at least unprecedented. But it is far from enough in Yang Chendong's eyes. He knows why the emperor ordered himself to host this event this time, just trying to find his own trouble.

Although he said that he used all kinds of means and novel things to make the other party unable to find an excuse for his bad luck, there was no reason to prevent thieves all day. He decided to shed some blood and eliminate the pressure brought by the emperor.

"Next is the gift time. Here is Yang xianma's Thoughts on Princess Changde's birthday. Please accept it." It seemed like a magic trick. Snow lady had a gift list in her hand. After seeing that everyone's eyes moved to herself, it seemed that the eyes of Emperor Zhu Qizhen looked at herself inadvertently, she smiled at first, then waved to the outside, and then spread out a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler, "To celebrate the birthday of the princess of Changde, Yang Chendong washed a horse to send ten mirrors, fifty boxes of transparent glass (four cases per box), perfume one hundred bottles, soap five hundred sets, toilet paper one thousand pieces..."

After a while of drinking and singing, many eunuchs in the palace carried these things read in the gift list into the field one by one, and soon they were pushed up like a hill.

The Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was standing not far away, watched these things appear in front of him, and his original stiff look finally eased. These are very popular things, and some are even sold in limited quantities, which can't be bought with silver. It's not too much to say that they are worth hundreds of thousands of Liang.

Obviously, this is Yang Chendong's attitude. Taking the opportunity of the princess's birthday, she took the initiative to give gifts and benefits to the royal family. In this way, other ministers can't say anything. With these things, whether they use them or give them to the minister, or even sell them for money, they can make the decision.

With these gifts, Zhu Qizhen became in a good mood and decided not to do anything for Yang Chendong. To put it bluntly, he is the emperor and the world is his. The reason why we want to target Yang Chendong is that he is too popular and envious. Now that you have benefited yourself, of course, this idea is not so serious.

These gifts naturally surprised the women's family members. They all stared at the birthday princess Changde with envy and jealousy. Just now, as today's protagonist, the three princesses are looking at a small beautiful box that is not much bigger than their palms.

This is a box with exquisite dolls on the top. When the switch is turned, the dolls on the box begin to rotate and move their limbs, and a song similar to the birthday song slowly rings out. To put it bluntly, this is a very ordinary birthday music box in future generations, and the market price is just more than ten yuan.

But at the moment, being here is undoubtedly the most rare and precious gift.

As soon as the box appeared, especially the function of automatically playing music immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All the women looked at the box with admiration and surprise. There was a strong desire in their eyes.

"What is this? How can it be so exquisite and wonderful?" one of the women's family members in the crowd couldn't help making a strange sound. Thinking that it was sent by dongshuai, they quickly asked the snow lady with the gift list.

Today's snow lady is in the limelight.

Although she used to be Huakui, she still doesn't exist in the eyes of many people. Especially in the eyes of these women's families, it is easy to be labeled as a fox, a witch and a prostitute. Perhaps there is some fame in their own garden, but really standing with the daughters of these ministers and dignitaries is definitely the opposite of everyone's shouting.

Even in a dream, snow lady never thought that one day she would be surrounded by so many dignitaries. These women's dependents not only didn't hate her, but also scrambled to talk to her, and even there were many courtiers.

In the final analysis, all this was brought to her by dongshuai. At this moment, snow lady was more determined to follow dongshuai's footsteps and never give up all her life.

"Yang Xima calls this thing a birthday music box. This box can actively send out good music, which is suitable for Princess Changde's birthday." the snow lady explained to the girls with a smile on her face.

"I don't know if Shenxianju also sells such a good thing?" after hearing that this is the birthday music box, the women's families were excited and eager to know where to buy such a good thing.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing." under the attention of the people, snow lady shook her head with some regret. "As you said just now, this is a good thing. In fact, Yang Xima brought it specially from the barbarians at sea. It cost thirty thousand liang of silver just for this thing. There's still a price but no market. That's all we have in the Ming Dynasty."

"Ah! It's so expensive."

"It's a little expensive, but it's not too much compared with its efficacy."

"Oh, when is my birthday, which man can give me such a thing, then I am really satisfied, that is, that is..."

"Even if you promise each other by example, you are willing, aren't you? This girl has moved her heart, ha ha."

Suddenly, all kinds of voices came out of the crowd. For a time, some people laughed and made trouble together.

Hu Yan also happened to hear the words of snow lady in the crowd, and a look of disappointment flashed on her face.

She fell in love with this birthday music box just now. I wonder if I can get such a thing on my birthday. But when she heard that there was only one Ming Dynasty, she knew that her ideas were extravagant.
