Chu Tianxiu and the others had a banquet, and won the first place in the palace test, so they were inevitably happy to drink more wine.

The wine was rather light, not much stronger than beer, and he drank a pot of wine before he got drunk.

All the sons were happy, and they took their own leave.

was carried back to Yuyuan by Zu'er, he was drunk and lay down directly.

Zu'er found the county lord excitedly, "County lord, my uncle has written a new poem called "Seeking and Seeking", which is really good. ”

"I've heard Di'er say it, I've written it a few times, and it's very easy."

Li Yu smiled and put down the pen in his hand.

There were several sheets of paper on the desk full of the poem, all of which were Juanxiu's notes.

This poem, Xiao Duhou was written to satirize the Hongmen Inn.

But as she listened, it felt as if she had written her own thoughts.

This new poem is now widely praised by the people and Confucian scholars in the city, and has spread all over Jinling City.

It has long been spread to the ears of many young ladies from large families, and they are very fond of it.

The young ladies love this new word even more than those who read.

This is not surprising either.

Poetry is based on words, and words are based on love.

Most of the poems are not too suitable for women to read, and they will be forgotten at a glance.

But the graceful and poignant beauty of this poem easily touched Miss Wuqianjin's heart, and even burst into tears.

"Guarding the window, how can you be born dark alone!"

"The sycamore is more drizzle, to dusk, bit by bit."

In the evening, their minds are as delicate and sensitive as this poem. With a little reading, it's like writing your own thoughts!

Li Yu is no exception, as soon as he heard this new song, he was full of joy and loved it incomparably.

The first half of this poem, "Three glasses and two light wines, how can you be the enemy of him, and the wind is in a hurry late!" Although it was a scolding of the Hongmen Inn, it was also a little faint marquis who wrote his own mood.

In the second half, "the yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, haggard and damaged, who can pick them now?" ”

What is this little Dusk Hou hinting at her?

Spit!

Li Yu's face was slightly red.

...

Chu Tianxiu fell asleep drunk, and in the evening, he woke up in the study.

A eunuch had been waiting in the Pingwang Mansion for a long time, waiting to announce the announcement to the Marquis of Xiao Du.

Chu Tianxiu immediately went to see the eunuch.

The eunuch said that on the order of the emperor, he sent a Danyang County Order Appointment Document of the Prime Minister's Mansion and two sets of winter and summer county order official uniforms.

The eunuch also brought a message from the emperor and said euphemistically, although this Danyang County is a small and poor county with a population of only 3,000 households, but fortunately, it is still at the foot of the Son of Heaven and is very close to Jinling City.

The little marquis didn't stay well in Danyang County, and he could go back to Jinling City from time to time, which was quite good.

In short, whether it is the emperor or the prime minister's mansion, the expectations and requirements for him as a county magistrate are not high.

It's better not to have political achievements or anything.

Don't be as stubborn and unscrupulous as the king of Zhou, build a lot of construction, and force thousands of people in the county to rebel.

After all, judging from Xiao Duhou's previous experience of making trouble in Jinling Mansion, his ability to toss people is extremely powerful.

Jinling Mansion at the foot of the Son of Heaven is still like this, let alone Danyang County, which is hundreds of miles away.

It's better to do nothing.

It would be better if the little dusk marquis left alone and did nothing. Although the officials of the county government have a low official position, they can also handle many chores in a small county.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't cry or laugh, and took over the appointment document of the county order.

How could he be so discolored by this little faint marquis!

The emperor actually personally sent a eunuch to carry a message, euphemistically suggesting that he should work less, and it was better to lie down and not work.

As the county magistrate of one of his parents' officials, how can he have a vegetarian meal?!

Chu Tianxiu immediately patted his chest and assured that the eunuch would go back and tell the emperor that everything was on him, work hard and quickly, take on big projects, keep it and make great achievements, and govern this small Danyang County.

Seeing that he did not follow the emperor's hints at all, the eunuch insisted on going his own way, and couldn't help but have a bitter face, and went back to the emperor worriedly.

...

Li Yu learned that Chu Tianxiu was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of Danyang County, and patted his chest and promised the emperor that he would work hard, but he didn't know for a while whether he should be happy or worried.

In the future, Xiao Duhou will have to toss desperately in his own fiefdom.

I don't know what he's going to do with it.

Forget it, the husband will only take office after the Lantern Festival after the New Year.

Let's talk about these troubles after the New Year.

"Husband!"

Li Yu said: "As soon as this little cold passes, seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, we should also prepare some New Year's goods." What do you want to buy? Let's go shopping on the street and come back. ”

"Buying New Year's goods?"

Chu Tianxiu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

Money!

It's his favorite thing to do.

This is also the first New Year that he has traveled to the Great Chu Dynasty for two thousand years, and of course he has to make extremely grand preparations.

Buy, buy, buy!

"Let's go, let's go shopping!"

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, as well as Zu'er and Di'er, took a three-passenger carriage, went out of Wanghou Lane, and went to the bustling Jinling Market to buy New Year's goods.

In the evening, lanterns are hung everywhere in Jinling City, which is the most lively.

The purchase of New Year's goods for the Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival generally starts one month in advance.

Because Emperor Taizu Xiang Yu moved the world's gate valves and more than 100,000 wealthy households to Jinling City, so that the imperial city gathered the world's wealth.

Fuguan sea, prosperous as brocade.

Merchants from the north and south of the river will transport the best goods to the Jinling Imperial City for the palace, the ten major gates, the imperial court officials, and the rich and wealthy to choose and buy.

On this street, there are all kinds of shops that are popular, as well as large and small vendors.

It is full of rice cakes and snacks, red lanterns, new silk and satin clothes, new gold and silver jewelry, rouge powder used by Miss Qianjin, jewelry jade hairpins, utensils for adults and children to play with, tributes for ancestors, incense candles... It's hard to count.

In this winter, a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and bacon food are bought in advance, and they will not be bad if they are hung under the eaves and frozen.

The four of them went separately to buy.

Li Yu took Di'er to buy some new silk and satin, which he was going to use to make New Year's clothes. There are also rouge gouaches for the New Year, jewelry. You always have to choose your own to be satisfied.

Chu Tianxiu took Zu'er and walked around.

He is looking for Spring Festival couplets, door gods, New Year paintings, window flowers and other things, as well as firecrackers and fireworks.

However, to his disappointment, although there were all kinds of goods on the street, there were no firecrackers and fireworks.

The Spring Festival couplets of this era, known as "peach charms", are hung around the main gate to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and they have not yet been written on them.

There are door gods, and the two brothers, Shen Tu and Fan Lei, guard the door.

If there is no such thing to make a lively scene, there will be no atmosphere for this Spring Festival!
