Chapter 27: Iron Between the Hundred Furnaces

readx;

It is said that it should be a good errand to be in charge of the regatta, not only to meet with all the ladies and princes, but also to gain popularity in front of the civil and military officials, but why do few people volunteer?

Yunyang only realized after taking over this job, not to mention that some people volunteered, everyone actually couldn't hide, why?

First of all, there is the huge amount of verification work, which is really unbearable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Starting with the boat of the day, each one, each one, large, small, race, pick-up, plain, decorative...... Piles and piles must be remembered clearly and understood.

Then there is the furniture used for the day, the many tables, how many chairs, and how to place them. Not only must you memorize the numbers, but you must also draw the graphics that are placed, otherwise the little eunuch who is doing the work will not be able to understand it.

After the tables and chairs are arranged, it is time for the guests to use the utensils, gold, silver, silver-plated and copper, white porcelain, celadon ...... They all have to be assigned according to official-level positions, and there is no room for mistakes.

With expensive cutlery, it's time to load equally expensive wine and delicacies. The spicy Xiangquan Brew, the strong Golden Cinnamon Brew, the rich almond Brew, as well as the Yaoquan Brew, Jinbo Brew, and Huatai Brew...... Cold, hot, on the rocks, with ume......

A variety of sweets are also emerging.

Yunyang saw these and sighed in his heart: "I used to brag in front of Mianxi that I was a high-roller in the food, but when I look at it today, I know that I am lonely and unheard." Not to mention the things on this menu, many of them have never been seen before. ”

In addition to these, there are many trivial things that Yun Yang has to worry about, and even if she really conjures up three heads and six arms for a while, it will be difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, most of the palace people in Qiao Palace were literate, and seeing that Yunyang was too busy, he came over and offered to help.

So for several nights in a row, the Qiao Palace, which had passed for a while, was still brightly lit.

The water is steaming in Yifang Zhai, and the mothers are rolling up their clothes and sleeves to prepare for all kinds of nights.

The copper lock and the holding pot sat at the gate of the palace for the night.

In the main hall, the stones, the flat poles, and the people who drank the green were standing or sitting, and each of them was holding a booklet in his hand, either copying or checking. If you can't see clearly, if you can't understand it, you have to run to Yunyang to ask.

Orange and purple sunflower weave through these people, sometimes adding some warming milk tea, and then serving freshly baked yellow glutinous chestnut paste cake and chicken fat sesame cake.

Drinking green is extremely careful, afraid that the smell in the hall will be bad and cause Yunyang a headache, so he put two more lotus buds with green glaze and brown veins in the hall.

The incense is lit with a cool and worry-relieving woody fragrance and a refreshing uri.

Yunyang looked up at the busy palace people in the hall, and really felt a little emotional: "I first entered Hanyang Palace, and I have no relatives and no reason here, but fortunately, the palace people I met are so sensible and sensible, so why not be my blessing." ”

"When I think of Yiguo, although I face the noble Yiguo Hou and the King of Beiwang County every day, one is moody and the other is smoky, but it is not as refreshing and lovely as these palace people."

"I just don't know how Mianxi is now?" Thinking of this, Yunyang's nose was sour: "I just hope that this matter is done, and I can ask the queen to take her in." ”

After a few days of work, he finally sorted out the list of items, and Yunyang thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that the bigger test was ahead.

On this day, Yunyang went to the Imperial Bureau, made a list of guests, and asked the Imperial Bureau to write invitations uniformly, and sent them out one after another.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this invitation was sent out, a wave of trouble rushed over.

First of all, there was a word from the Dadu Protector, saying that Dadu Hu could not be next to the people who belonged to the chicken. Because a senior monk said that this year he had a conflict with a rooster person, if he stayed together, everything would not go well, and at worst, there would be a disaster of blood and light.

Yun Yang listened, and sneered in his heart: "If it is really a high monk, how can he say such a prediction of ghosts and gods? ”

"Most of this metropolitan protector has been cheated by a sanctimonious charlatan for a large sum of gold and silver, and he doesn't know it, but he takes his words as if they were holy orders."

Although Yun Yang thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to respond. For his request, the entire seat list must be completely changed.

Then the hussar general sent another man to say that the seat he was sitting on that day must have gold armrests.

Yunyang patiently explained: "The adults with official positions above the second rank sit on the precious mahogany high-backed chairs, which are worth far more than ten gold armrests. Why do you have to add a thin piece of gold? ”

The people from the General's Mansion waved their hands and said, "My family has never sat in a chair without gold armrests since I was a child. If there is no gold handrail, when you return home, your palms will probably peel off and hurt. ”

Hearing this, Yunyang was speechless, and secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, according to the general's wishes." ”

The people from the General's Mansion left satisfied, but Yunyang had to inform the Hook and Shield Bureau to pull back all the dozens of mahogany high-backed chairs, and the armrests of each chair had to be trimmed with gold sheets. In order not to delay the date, the craftsmen had to rush to work day and night.

But the demands of these two are nothing compared to the one behind them.

Seeing that the sun had set in the west, Yunyang said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return to Qiao Palace. It was here that a handsome little girl came to Dr. Guanglu's mansion.

She entered the Imperial Palace, but refused to speak. was about to drag Yunyang aside, so he quietly told her that it turned out that Dr. Guanglu's daughter had always been devoted to King Rui, but she had no chance to get to know her.

She wanted to use this regatta to impress King Rui.

So he sent Xiao Yahuan to Yunyang to say that she would sit within five steps of King Rui's left hand. The reason is that her right face is relatively good-looking, and King Rui will definitely like to sit in this position.

In addition, the distance of five steps is neither far nor close, which is just enough for Rui Wang to see the outline of the young lady clearly, but the flaws are invisible.

Xiao Yahuan also promised Yunyang that as long as the matter is done, this young lady is willing to give a hundred taels of gold to thank her.

Yun Yang listened to this strange request, and thought to himself: "The position within five steps of King Rui's left hand is Concubine Chen, okay?" Miss, no matter how much you admire and infatuate King Rui, you can't directly top his own mother, right? ”

"Besides, King Rui sits with the royal family, and Miss sits with the ladies of the minister's family. Even if you are devoted to King Rui, you can't help but enter the royal family directly with three media and nine hires, right? ”

Yunyang persuaded him for a long time, but the other party just didn't agree. There was no way, Yun Yang had no choice but to say: "King Rui's seat is facing north, and the left hand side is Xiangyang." ”

"King Wise has to go to the boat race before he can return to his seat. If the young lady sat in the position of his left hand, she would have to spend more than an hour in the sun in the seat before she could see the king. ”

"I'm afraid that the makeup on Miss's face will be dried by then. King Rui sat down and could only see a red ball of green ink, but he couldn't see the true face of the young lady, are you still willing to sit like this? ”

It's so easy to say, Xiao Yahuan sighed and left.

Yunyang picked up the lotus pigment gauze handkerchief at hand, wiped his sweat, and said, "I can think of returning to the palace." ”
