Chapter 43: False Concern
But it is obvious that this year's year can not continue to spend in the boundless, but it is more lively than the boundless, the street is lit up with lights, Xi Feng is in a hurry to go to the street to see when he recovers from a serious illness, and the novelties that cannot be seen on weekdays will only be put on the stall at this time.
There is a custom in the Northern Wei Dynasty that if you go to the street on New Year's night, you must wear a mask to show your mysterious identity, which is actually convenient for the palace to be lively and not discovered.
But this is undoubtedly not a business opportunity for the vendors, no matter what is sold, there are a few masks on the stalls, although they do not mainly sell masks, but each mask is very exquisite, Xi Fengben has no feeling for masks, but he thought of fighting with himself that night.
If there is no mask, then his identity will be exposed in front of Xi Yuelian, or walked to the door of a small stall, carefully selected a fox head mask, the white bottom plate is a fiery red pattern, and the design of the two ears is also chic, as if it was a real fox fur glued on.
Xi Feng put on the mask and looked towards the bronze mirror, as if his eyes had given the mask a soul, and the fox seemed to come to life.
The hawker's shouts kept echoing through the streets and ends of a small street in Pingcheng, and everything was really different from usual, but Xi Feng was not allowed to walk around the streets casually on New Year's night, because she would definitely receive an invitation from His Majesty to the palace for a family banquet.
Of course, this kind of family banquet can only be attended by ministers with outstanding achievements every year, and after the family banquet is over, Feng must accompany His Majesty, who is a little older, to walk around Pingcheng, pretending to be a wealthy merchant and guard of an ordinary family.
It's a bad taste in the Imperial City.
The singing and dancing in the palace was leveled, and Xi Feng only saw Xiyue Song at this time, I don't know if the feng shui of the Northern Wei Dynasty is very good, and Xiyue Song is more and more white and tender.
The two of them sat opposite Xi Feng and watched like this, Tuoba Tao finally set the day of the draft on the tenth day of the first month, originally hoping that the show girls could spend one more year at home, but probably because he was too old to do many things.
The palace is also full of lights, red lanterns are hung all over the palace, and even the dancing girls who are dancing today are wearing new clothes, but it is really announcing the new atmosphere of the year, Xi Feng is taking Yeluda to participate, and there is a grandfather in many people's words may not be too presumptuous.
"Xi Feng, whose girl are you fanciing, grandpa will take advantage of today's New Year to help you win over." Yeluda is kind, the officials who can come to the banquet today are the mainstays of the imperial court, like Xi Feng because of Zhuoda's merits, and Gu Mo seems to have come to make up the numbers.
Xi Feng just looked at the queen today, Tuoba Tao attaches great importance to civil officials, but at the same time hates the collusion of the former dynasty and the harem, so the queen was an orphan girl before marrying His Majesty, and I don't know where Tuoba Tao collected her.
Although the queen has no background, it doesn't mean that other women in the palace won't bully her, His Majesty's harem is much more chaotic than the previous dynasty, but the queen may not have such a hard time, looking at what happened last time, she is obviously Yu Wenhong's person, and she should have a little brain.
If Yu Wenwan wants to enter the harem, he may be in cahoots with the queen, and the harem will be even more unpeaceful at that time.
His Majesty has not yet come, because the ministers will arrive for a stick of incense earlier than the promised time, so His Majesty has arranged singing and dancing in advance to set off the atmosphere.
There are only good tea leaves on the table, and when the lid is opened, it is still exuding heat, and Ah Zhi and Ah Ruo can't be put in the deserted place of the General's Mansion.
"I haven't seen you for many days, General Yelu is well." Listening to the voice, you can know that Gu Mo is here.
"Thanks to the blessing of the Imperial Doctor, this seat is much better." It's better to speak official words in the officialdom, after all, now that he is really a big official, it's always bad to be honest.
Yuwenhong's banquet is always the most active, he had already sat down before Xi Feng Ye Luda came, and the tea in front of him was changed several times, but this time he didn't bring his wife, he just brought Yuwen Wanhua here, and Xi Feng saw Wanhua as if he saw some ghost.
I can't afford to provoke and hide, I always feel that it's nothing good to see this woman, and it has always been and will be.
It was probably just a cup of tea, and Tuoba Tao slowly walked out from behind with his stomach up.
All the ministers knelt down and saluted, because it was the new year, so they had to make a big ceremony that they usually didn't do, to celebrate that the Northern Wei Dynasty could be peaceful in the new year.
But Taiping is too unrealistic, how many people are staring at the throne of the Northern Wei Dynasty now, Tuoba Tao himself has not counted.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, today is the New Year, the widow is widespread, and the soup porridge in Pingcheng is so that all people can eat enough in the new year, which indicates a good omen for the year."
Everyone sat down, Xi Feng still remembered the day when Tuoba Tao just ascended the throne, and it was also in Pingcheng that he gave wide grace to create today's Xi Feng, at that time Tuoba Tao was just a thin young man with a weak crown, and now, he has become rich so far, but everything has changed.
Tiangong Lingle is an indispensable program on this occasion, but unlike last time, Xi Feng finally doesn't have to watch Yuwen Wanru dance anymore, which is simply a pleasure.
The colorful skirt swept over every minister's table, and the little guys carefully but also successively brought the dishes to the table, and suddenly the fragrance overflowed, and even the little guys who poured wine next to them smelled a sweet smell from the wine.
This is really warm, the king is not early, Tuoba Tao lives like this every day, and it is strange that he is not rich.
The sound of the silk and bamboo musical instrument came into Xi Feng's ears, and His Majesty was also staring intently at a certain dancing girl at this time, it is estimated that she may be the first person to be fortunate by His Majesty at the beginning of the new year, Gu Mo and Xi Feng are simply a pure land for the banquet.
There are no ministers who drink too much, and there are no ministers who blush-faced and brag nonsense to each other, and it is estimated that no one dares to be afraid of their aura, and when they sit down, the ministers automatically put them together, and Yu Wenhong still dares to sit on the left side of Xi Feng.
But Xi Feng no longer worries about himself next to Yu Wenhong, this time there is Yeluda, separating the two, even if Yu Wenhong really wants to find Xi Feng to say something, next to one person, he also wants to pretend to be a deaf person.
Every time I sell my daughter at a banquet, can I still have some new ideas, so I can't say another thing to make Xi Feng curious.
