v100 Chapter 391： Mountains and Rivers Prosperous Fireworks

Chapter 391 The prosperity of mountains and rivers

Baicaoshi has foreseen this, yes, she has such trust in her products.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Wang Yingzhe came out and said, "Queen Mother, the princess has ordered many wives this time. Why don't you let everyone recite birthday speeches for the Queen Mother, and whoever says it best will make the Queen Mother happy, and give it to whoever it is." .”

At the birthday banquet, there were only two princesses, the eldest princess Ying Zhezhe and the eighth princess Ying Zheyun.

As for Mrs. Gao Ming, the ministers watched their eyes and minds, and few came. The space is really limited. Those who are not qualified will not be able to come.

Rong Jinghou was the first to respond: "I would like to report to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the king's proposal is very good. There is a saying that everything is in harmony with the family. If the servants can celebrate the birthday of the wife on behalf of the family, the Queen Mother will give you this beauty and beauty. It's not a bad idea to paint eyebrows and make up in the boudoir."

Someone in the envoy laughed out loud.

This Rong Jinghou is greedy for petty gain, but also greedy for high-sounding.

Sitting next to Emperor Yanwu, Concubine Si tugged at the corner of his sleeve.

Emperor Yanwu couldn't say it out loud, how could a son steal his mother's gift for his concubine?

King Feng glanced at the position of the emperor above, and said at the right time, "Then if this is the case, the concubines in the harem might as well participate. This king has no concubines, so it is great to see all the mothers and concubines showing their beautiful faces."

Baicao Poetry: "..."

How did the birthday banquet turn into a bargain market? Or is it that her time-traveling set meal is so tempting that these princes, ministers and concubines all end up disregarding their face?

The Empress Dowager frowned, the current scene was also unexpected.

Zhe Yu chuckled suddenly, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I have an idea."

"Oh, let's talk about it, but it doesn't matter." The Queen Mother frowned, because Zhe Yu had enough ideas, and he would come up with a better plan.

Zhe Yu said loudly: "I see that there are nursing homes and charity homes in Yanjing, which have taken in many widows, widows, lonely, and homeless orphans. The Queen Mother wants to have fun with the people on her birthday. In my opinion, it is better to auction this set of birthday gifts on the spot. Princesses, concubines, ministers, and even foreign envoys can participate in the auction, and the highest bidder wins. The final proceeds from the auction will be distributed by the Ministry of Households to Nursing Homes and Kindergartens for daily meals, house repairs, and book purchases. Feel good?"

I have to say that this is the most decent and timely way.

Bu Jingwei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, praised on the spot: "This method is very good, and it can benefit the people of Yanjing, so I must participate in it no matter what."

On the contrary, the Minister of the Household Department curled his lips. Does this Minister of Taichang Temple think that the Household Department is not busy enough?

The Empress Dowager raised her sleeves, "Yes."

Following, Zhe Yu announced the rules, the starting price was one hundred taels of silver, and each increase should not be less than fifty taels.

Everyone grinned, looking at Taichang Siqing's integrity, this blackmailer is clever.

Not surprisingly, the first bidder was Li Wang. "Three hundred taels."

This price increase is basically a sniper call, which conveys the confidence that you will win and makes other competitors retreat.

Ying Zhefeng raised his hand high without raising his head, "Five hundred taels."

Baicaoshi suppressed a smile, everyone didn't play their cards according to the routine, or Zhe Yu's pricing was too low.

"Five hundred and five." Bu Jingwei shouted, acting as a support seriously.

At this time, in the envoys of Song Dynasty, Pei Xianzhi, Minister of Honglu Temple, said loudly, "One thousand taels."

In an instant, the focus was on Song Guo.

Pei Xianzhi held his hand, without losing the integrity of the foreign minister, "I have a good relationship with Da Song and Da Yan. After a year of trade, it can be regarded as a fortune for the people. I would like to do a little bit of love for the people of the friendly countries."

There is nothing wrong with it, it is very well said, and it is a strategic place.

Rong Jinghou has already begun to grind his teeth, the price is getting higher and higher, exceeding his psychological expectations, but he is still unwilling to give up. "One thousand one hundred taels."

"Two thousand taels." This time it was Ying Zhezhe. Her eyes were bright, and she said with her lips to Shang Baicaoshi, "It matches your blue and white porcelain very well."

A small auction has achieved overwhelming results. An undercurrent hovered between several bidding forces.

Finally, the price was 12,500 taels, and was taken by Li Wang.

Emperor Yanwu's complexion was not very good-looking.

It is not easy for a prince to spend so much silver. Where does the money come from?

But after all, it was at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so it was not easy for Emperor Yanwu to have a seizure.

Baicao Poetry makes people hand over the gift box to King Li, who has been wronged. She believes that after this incident, Herborist Xiangyi will become the beauty choice that all Yanjing noble girls dream of.

So far, four rounds of birthday gifts have been presented, and the remaining two rounds were selected from the national treasury after consultation with the Ministry of Rites, and were related to writing, ink, jewelry and jade.

The entire birthday dedication process lasted for more than two hours, and it was already afternoon after the ceremony was over.

The envoys retreated, and the group of officials left. In Changle Palace, there were only the Queen Mother, Emperor Yanwu, Qing Zheyu of Taichang Temple, Minister of Rites Bu Jingwei and Baicao Shi.

"Queen Mother," Zhe Yu reported, "I'm too tired today, so please take a break. As for the fireworks on earth, prosperity and peace you want to see, there is a grand market in the square outside Xiangji Temple, which is Yanjing Fireworks Life." It will last for seven days, and you can go on any day.”

The Queen Mother had heard about this event before, and even asked Eunuch Qin to pick up a copy of the leaflets distributed in the city.

Four words describe it, and I yearn for it.

Don't want to wait for a moment.

"Today is Aijia's birthday, and Aijia wants to watch it today. Axu, Shishi, you two go with Aijia. Aijia also learns from the emperor, and visits in private."

Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi are fully prepared.

Instead, he was walking along the latitude and longitude, and was caught off guard by hearing the royal secret, and his neck felt cold. It turns out that in private, the queen mother always called Taichang Siqing A Xu, isn't this the same as acknowledging the identity of the fifth prince? If he knows the secret, he won't be silenced by the black-bellied Taichang Siqing, right? But thinking that his son has already returned to Yanjing, and he has a long-term friendship with Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi, he finally let go of his hanging heart.

Emperor Yanwu did not want the Queen Mother to go out today.

It’s winter now, the days are short and the nights are long.

Besides, Xiangji Temple belongs to the outskirts of Beijing, and the journey to the imperial palace takes about half an hour. When people arrive, it will soon be dark. "Mother, for safety's sake, it's not too late for you to go back tomorrow. First, safety is the most important thing. Second, when you get there, it's dark and you can't do anything."

The queen mother was very excited, "That's just to watch the fireworks, Shishi, tell Aijia whether there are fireworks."

Baicaoshi shrugged, the market is a kingdom of dreams, and there is everything in it. But looking at Emperor Yanwu's appearance, he was afraid that if he spoke again, he would kill her.

"If the emperor is worried about Aijia, he might as well go with Aijia. There are so many dead men and masters in the palace, how can they commit murder at the feet of the emperor?"

Emperor Yanwu: "..."

He didn't want to go, he still thought about the short spring night with Concubine Si, he...

That's all, Dayan ruled the world with filial piety, and today the queen mother is still the birthday star, so she has her heart.

Finally, Emperor Yanwu and the Queen Mother changed into casual clothes, and the mother and son rode in a carriage. Two great eunuchs, Fu Sheng and Qin Gonggong, were coachmen respectively. All guards and dead men are lurking in the dark.

Baicaoshi rides with Zheyu on the same ride, heading for Honolulu in the suburbs of Beijing. When the carriage drove away, a sea dongqing landed on the roof.

In theory, the distance between Honolulu and Longevity Hill is not far. When the Longevity Palace is built in the future, Emperor Yanwu will be neighbors with monks.

The drive was fast, and after half an hour, we had arrived at Daji.

A group of people got out of the carriage.

In Yanjing in winter, the temperature is cold. At the entrance of the square, on a large banner, there are ten characters written in the first Yanjing Fireworks Life Festival. The flags and flags of the merchants fluttered, fluttering against the northwest wind.

The people wore thick clothes, cloaks and cloaks, and walked around Daji with white breath in their mouths. Even in the afternoon, there are still huge crowds of people, and the enthusiasm of the people remains undiminished.

"There are a lot of merchants in this market, and they are all things I like."

"Not only are there many, but they are also cheaper. They are actually so much cheaper than in the store."

"Ma'am, don't buy any more, the carriage will not hold it."

"I really hope to go to the big market every day, and the small days are booming."

Such conversations kept coming to the ears, and such a busy and steaming scene confused the Queen Mother's eyes.

It was tears mixed with joy, and she saw the prosperous world that she had longed for for a long time.

"Shishi, Ah Xu, is this the temple fair you are talking about?" The queen mother took Baicaoshi's hand, her excitement beyond words.

Baicaoshi and Zheyu expected that the Queen Mother would like it, but when they saw that the Queen Mother was so happy, they felt that the hard work of the past few days was worth it.

"Queen Mother," Baicao Shi yelled out loudly, but was stared back by the Queen Mother.

"Weifu, it's Weifu, it's called grandma."

The corners of Emperor Yanwu's mouth twitched when he heard this. This is in Tian's house, and it is rare to see such a tender moment.

Zhe Yu called out first, "There are so many delicious and interesting things at the temple fair, Grandma, whatever you fancy, Mr. Ying will buy it for you."

Who is Mr. Win?

Emperor Yanwu was thinking about it, when he saw Fu Sheng winking at him. Isn't His Majesty the emperor just to win the master? Microservices to the end, full set of acting. Since you are called Grandma, why not Daddy?

The Queen Mother cheerfully said "Yes".

After taking two steps, I couldn’t move anymore.

There is a stall selling sugar **** in front of it. Several people bought them and ate them on the spot.

While making it, the shopkeeper yelled, "Gaojia sugar balls, a century-old brand, have sesame and hawthorn flavors, and yam sandwich flavors. There are also carrot flavor sugar balls, cucumber sugar balls, and cashew nut sandwiches. They are sold at a cheap price of two cents each. "

Baicaoshi noticed that the Queen Mother was salivating, and asked, holding her arm, "Grandma, which one do you want? His sesame hawthorn is the main one."

The empress dowager tapped her finger, tapped again, and clicked all over again. How to break the barrier of choice?

The old lady squinted her mouth and looked at her son Emperor Yanwu.

That means, wrap round.

Emperor Yanwu is going crazy. I've never seen my mother look like this, she looks like a child.

It was still Baicaoshi who said: "Grandma, there are still a lot of delicious food in it. If you are full with just sugar balls, you won't be able to eat any more."

It makes so much sense.

The queen mother agreed with tears.

But no one moved after that, everyone stared wide-eyed.

Zhe Yu said angrily: "Butler Fu, pay!"

Fu Sheng realized that he had become a housekeeper. He took out a silver seed from his pocket and bought a hawthorn and sesame seed for the queen mother.

Walking a few steps, I saw a stand of mutton in a water basin. In the cold season, the mutton is steaming, which is the most heart-warming.

The queen mother suddenly felt that the sugar ball in her hand was no longer fragrant.

Adults' preferences, like the sky in June, change as they say.

When the queen mother saw the ring, she went out and made the shopkeeper cry.

The Queen Mother saw the headgear seller, picked it up and stuck it on the head of Baicao Poetry, Zhe Yu decisively gave Fu Sheng eyes to convey affection.

Fu Sheng wanted to cry, but he was the one who paid for the big man shopping. In a blink of an eye, he could no longer hold anything with his hands.

In the process of walking from one end of the square to the other, Zhe Yu deliberately slowed down, and when he reached Baicaoshi's side, he held her hand.

"Is it cold?" He asked in a low voice, but his eyes were annotating his surroundings, and he could see everything within a hundred meters.

Baicaoshi's face was reddened by the wind, with shattered stars in her eyes, she said "it's not cold".

Zoru hid her hands in her sleeves, "Tell me what you want to eat.

My heart is warm, I want to be held by him forever. "Well, I want to see dance music."

Emperor Yanwu looked at the young couple, they were sweet and sweet, and he didn't know what he thought of, and there was a trace of regret on his face.

"Then go and see."

At this time, the crowd quickly moved in one direction, and floats appeared on the square.

It is said to be a float, but in fact it is covered with paper flowers, which are colorful and beautiful. There are musicians all around the float, and they set up their battles.

Intensive drumbeats sounded, and the familiar melody echoed.

A hundred-member dance and music team kicked off the performance.

The first track, Taizong's "Broken Array".

Emperor Yan Wu recognized it. Except for the beautiful and beautiful woman in red who led the dance, the others were clearly from the palace teaching workshop.

So many people played in unison, as if there was an arm directing it, it was wonderful.

"This woman is amazing. She understands Taizong's dance music at such a young age!" This praise from the Queen Mother came from the heart.

Baicaoshi is sincerely happy for Hongqu, she finally did it.

It’s just that the highlight moment of the red song, why is it missing…

She looked around, and finally saw a familiar figure hidden in the crowd.

Bai Xiaoshu was watching the red song, staring intently. She is so beautiful and charming, with such a slender waist, she can dance to the city. Behind Bai Xiaoshu, twenty meters away, Jun Ke clenched his fists. The girl who belonged to him had a life a hundred times better than his.

After "Broken Array", it was singing, and the vermilion lips of the red song were lightly opened.

The rooster man in the crimson hood sends Xiaoqiu, and Shangyi Fang enters Cuiyunqiu.

Nine Heavens will open the palace, and all nations will wear their crowns and worship their crowns.

She once conquered the whole Yanjing with her singing, and it is the same today. It's just that today, she divided her gaze in half, and she was inferior to the weak crowned man in the crowd. Maybe, she can marry herself without waiting until the day she grows old.

People were all attracted and intoxicated by her ethereal voice, and they all sang softly.

Someone called out "red song".

Then the common people were shouting the name of Hongqu, soaring into the sky.

On this day, Hongqu returned to the top position in Yanjing with one song and one dance.

"Shishi, Aijia saw it, saw Sheng Shi Dayan." The queen mother was excited, and she had forgotten to hide her identity, but it was not important anymore. "This is the best gift Aijia received today."
