Yuliang dropped two front teeth at once, and he missed a sound when he spoke.

Yuxiu and Yushu kept teasing him, making him angry and anxious, but he couldn't do anything with the two sisters, and his white face was wrinkled into a bun.

In August, the capital is more lively, Emperor Wu's longevity festival, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing since the beginning of the year.

This year is not Emperor Wu's birthday, there are natural and man-made disasters in the north and Shuzhong, but this longevity festival is a little more grand than in previous years.

Local officials from other places went to Beijing to offer auspicious birthdays, and small countries affiliated with Yongding sent envoys or lords to congratulate them in person, and the streets of the capital were bustling.

Yuliang couldn't hide for a few days, and when he heard Sui Yan talk about the excitement outside, he couldn't help but look at it. On the third day, I followed Yuxiu and Yushu to the street to watch the excitement.

The three siblings sat in the carriage, and from time to time they could see foreigners dressed in different costumes. Like a Nanban covered in silver ornaments, he swaggered through the market with a clanging outfit. The dancers in the Western Regions actually showed their arms and legs...... The most fun is the illusion show, where a seed is thrown into a pot and it blossoms and bears fruit at once.

There are some things that even Yuxiu has seen for the first time, and the three of them were dumbfounded, and they regretted that Yudong was not there and couldn't see these excitement. Yuxiu and Yushu thought that the curtain fence was troublesome, and they also made teenager clothes, and went out to pretend to be teenagers like Yuliang, and swaggered on the street.

The family is all managed by Yuxiu, and with her taking the lead, Mama Gong and others didn't dare to persuade at all.

Once, there was a dancer from the Western Regions who took a fancy to Yuxiu's handsomeness and came straight to her, so frightened that Yuxiu's face turned white. Fortunately, Qian Chang and Zhong Youxing followed, so there was no big mess.

Gong Mama talked and laughed in private, and they all said that the eldest lady was really good-looking in women's clothes, handsome in men's clothes, and was born with a good blank.

After that fright, Yuxiu didn't dare to take Yushu and Yuliang around at will.

After watching it for a few days, the freshness has passed.

On the second day of the first month of August, the Luhua balsam powder shop opened, and the three Yuxiu sisters and brothers went to the teahouse opposite Luhuaxiang and asked for a private room, watching the people coming and going in their shop.

The ladies and ladies of various families in Beijing sent servants to compete for purchases, and the guests came like clouds for a while.

At the end of the night, Liu Wu happily closed his mouth, the abacus crackled, and he earned thousands of taels a day, happily urging Mu Hai to arrange people to transport the goods quickly.

The major event of the new opening is over, Yuxiu and Yushu have no other major events for a while, and there is no new excitement on the street. The three of them were at home, Yuliang was busy preparing to practice calligraphy, and Yuxiu and Yushu concentrated on needlework.

Gong Mama is worthy of being a female official in the needlework bureau, the needlework is really good, all kinds of embroidery methods are caught, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects are lifelike.

August 15 is about to face the saint, Yuxiu got a few new pieces of clothing, and wanted to make a new dress for Yuliang.

Mama Gong has been in the palace, and with his guidance, she is not afraid of taboos in the color and pattern of clothes. Yuxiu discussed with her, and finally chose a piece of silver-white fabric to make the clothes, with red piping to decorate the joy, the clothes were embroidered with auspicious clouds, and the collar was decorated with dark lines of bamboo leaves.

In just four days, the three of them rushed to make a set of round-necked robes.

Children always like new clothes, and although Yuliang feels that he has made too many new clothes, he is still very happy to hear that he wants to wear them.

He put on his robe and wore a belt of the same color around his waist.

Yuliang's eyebrows and eyes have not yet fully opened, his facial features are delicate, and his face is still a little baby fat, looking like a boy next to the Bodhisattva. After putting on his new clothes, he walked a few steps in a square step, but he revealed a little calm, like a handsome boy.

"Erlangjun looks really good in this dress. Mama Gong exclaimed, and made a mark on the hem of her waist, this dress has to be made to fit.

The lock plate that Yuxiu bought was sent to the temple to ask the monks to chant the scriptures and open the light.

You can't be too plain when you enter the palace. She took a golden lock and put it on him, and the lock plate had a staggered red and silver thread on the lock plate.

Yushu took out two more jade pendants, and after the comparison, she finally chose a small Buddha hand to hang on her waist. The white jade Buddha's hand is white and shiny, and under the Buddha's hand is a red tassel.

"My little four are so good-looking. Yuxiu let Yuliang turn around a few times, and after reading it, she couldn't help but praise it.

Yuliang saw Mama Gong and the others on the side, and turned around uncomfortably, "Eldest sister, I've grown up." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the baby teeth have been replaced, and I am already an adult. Yuxiu nodded in agreement, causing Yuliang to stomp his feet again.

August 15 is just around the corner.

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Rites sent a carriage to Yan's Mansion and took Yuliang into the palace. Yuxiu and Yushu wore a curtain fence and sent it to the door, pulling Yuliang to give another advice. Yuliang smiled and nodded and listened, not impatient at all. The official from the Ministry of Rites who came to pick up people nodded secretly, it is still rare for an eight-year-old child to be so calm. He was advised again, so he was quite polite, and after the Yan family sisters and brothers finished speaking, he interjected to remind that the hour was coming, and asked the Yuxiu sisters not to worry.

Yuxiu gestured slightly, and Mama Gong stepped forward and handed over a few purses, only saying that the hard-working adults came over early in the morning.

Several people from the Ministry of Rites pinched their purses, their attitudes were more kind, and some people reminded Yuxiu to bring some snacks and refreshing things to Yuliang.

Traditionally, on the Wanshou Festival, the courtiers meet in the morning to congratulate the birthday, then the saint goes to the queen mother's palace to ask for peace, and then the harem concubines and royal relatives congratulate the birthday. In the afternoon, the local officials from all over the country come to the audience, and until the dinner, there are activities such as singing, dancing, instrumental music, and book offerings in front of the emperor.

In this way, Yuliang must not be able to go home until midnight tonight.

Mama Gong knew the rules of the palace banquet in previous years, and Yuxiu reminded her that she had already prepared a few purses for Yuliang. Last night, Li Chengyun made another conversation, saying that he was also at the palace banquet today.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites always have good intentions for this reminder, so Yuxiu naturally thanked him, and took a small bag of snacks for Yuliang to carry.

Ok-su and Ok-sook didn't turn around until the carriage turned and couldn't be seen anymore before turning around and going back home. Yuxiu had never entered the palace in her previous life, but she had always heard that the palace was dangerous, and she would die if she was not careful, and she kept going up and down in her heart.

"Sister, does Xiao Si really want to come back at night? Then let's wait for him to go home and enjoy the moon together, right?" Yushu thought that Yuliang had been shouting to enjoy the moon together a few days ago.

"Okay, make more good food in the evening. ”

"Don't worry too much, two ladies. Erlang Jun performed in front of the emperor, this is a long-faced thing. In the past, on the Holy Birthday Festival, someone offered a book in front of the emperor, and the Holy One was happy and made a Hanlin directly. Mama Gong saw that Yuxiu and Yushu were worried, and comforted.

Yuxiu hurriedly cheered up, "Okay, Xiaosi is the first in our family to go to the palace, maybe you can still see the saint." When he comes back in the evening, we will ask him what he looks like. Today's holiday, everyone in the family has a red envelope, and wine is placed in the front yard and backyard at night, so everyone has a good time. ”

Hearing that there was wine, Qian Chang and the others couldn't help cheering. When Gong Mama and others heard that there were red envelopes, they were also smiling.
