Chapter 173: Chinese New Year's Eve Labor Army (First Update)
The next morning, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, in front of Yuan Xi, several maids were holding a long dress, with seven chapters of Chinese insects, mountains, axe patterns, colorful colors, incomparably bright, naked, very deceitful, at a glance, they only dared to pounce on nobles.
"There's no need for that!" After Yuan Xi looked at it for a while, he turned his head to look at Zhen Mi next to him, who looked slightly excited, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
Zhen Mi was also wearing a bright red liuxian dress, and said gently: "Today is a Chinese New Year's Eve feast, the husband wants to meet with all levels of civil and martial arts, since he has been canonized as a marquis by the Son of Heaven, of course he must wear a crown robe, so that he can not lose his identity and be more in awe of the courtiers."
"But it's too troublesome to wear this, you see that the sleeves are about to mop the floor, you also know the habit of being a husband, I prefer to be comfortable, a little casual" Yuan Xi pointed to the huge cuffs of Hou Fu, and said with some displeasure.
"Husband, don't worry about it, you don't have to wear it every day, just wear it during festivals, sacrifices, and ceremonies" Zhen Mi personally took the Hou Fu over and gestured towards Yuan Xi, with a hint of expectation on her beautiful face.
Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, and could only slowly put on this gorgeous Hou suit, several maids hurriedly hung up various accessories, and Zhen Mi personally brought a crown for Yuan Xi.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, when Yuan Xi put everything on and waved his sleeves slightly, several maids were immediately stunned.
The slender and sturdy figure completely supported the Hou Fu, the whole person showed a noble and luxurious atmosphere, the black hair was gathered in the red crown, a vermilion jade hairpin was inserted straight through, bright as the eyes like stars, with a cold majesty, and a kind of mystery that made the intoxication, especially the nobility of the Hou Fu with Yuan Xi's own calm temperament, but also a kind of prestige and charm of the king's arrival.
"How?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.
The maid suddenly lowered her head shyly, not daring to look more, Zhen Mi stepped forward and exclaimed: "Husband, it turns out that the crown dress is the most suitable for you"
"Haha, that's good, the military advisors are still waiting for me, I will go to the army in the morning first, you rest more, and hand it over to Yi Zhen as much as possible" Yuan Xi commanded softly, and the banquet of the female dependents will also be presided over by the female dependents, it stands to reason that it should be presided over by his wife Zhen Mi, but now that she is pregnant, it can't be as convenient as before.
"Husband, rest assured," Zhen Mi replied with a smile.
"Okay" Yuan Xi turned around and slowly stepped out of the bedroom door, only to see Hu Niu'er and Liu Quan waiting.
"Meet the Hou Ye" Looking at Yuan Xi, who was extremely majestic and extravagant, Hu Niuer and Liu Quan immediately shouted excitedly.
Yuan Xi nodded, "Okay, let's go"
"No!"
。。。。。
The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was divided into two parts, the first part was the labor army, and the major armies under Yuan Xi brought a group of elites to compete in horse archery, martial arts, and the now circulating Keju sport, and those who won would be rewarded, and those who did not achieve victory would also be comforted.
The second part is a dinner party, in which Yuan Xi will invite civil and military officers at all levels to enter the New Year together in the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion.
The location of the labor army is located in a military camp outside the city of Jixian County, where a huge circular competition field has been built, and more than 3,000 soldiers can sit in two rows, among which the medals have the priority to choose, and the front position in the center of the two sides is naturally the place where Yuan Xi and the civil and military ministers watch.
When it was almost noon, I saw that the competition hall of Yuanxing was already full of soldiers, shouting one after another, and there was a dazzling flag fluttering in every area, "Iron Guard", "Angry Waves", "Wind Rider", "Blood Tiger", "Shanggu" and so on.
Below the viewing platform, the competition field is a square surrounded by a huge runway, in addition to the ring, shooting, etc., is a large area of Keju field, at this time there are many soldiers here, or moving their bodies, or checking weapons, or comforting some commotion horses, in addition to them, there are also some scribes in the order of arranging the appearance.
This competition venue was built by Yuan Xi personally at the behest of the Government Affairs Hall, drawing on some settings from later generations, a bit like the feeling of a sports meeting, of course, it is much rougher.
On the viewing platform in the center, the military generals, Wenchen, and some scholars, wealthy businessmen, and senior masters are all present, only Yuan Xi, Li Ru, Han Yan, and Pang Tong, the four top leaders of Youzhou, have not yet come, and Wenwu Jingwei is divided into two sides, and a long table with a red soft carpet in the center separates them, and this is naturally where Yuan Xi will sit.
"Zilong, how many of you Wind Cavalry participated" Jiao Feng looked at Zhao Yun on the side and asked curiously.
Zhao Yun smiled, "I can't compare with Brother Jiao, there are only sixteen people."
"There are already a lot of sixteen people, Youbeiping has just formed the Zhongbei Army not long ago, Ming didn't expect such a big scene, only nine people participated" Li Ming said with a wry smile, in a few days, the generals are also familiar with each other, and Li Ming is the most compatible with Zhao Yun because of the battle of the Guang Plain, but mainly because of Zhao Yun's character, he is relatively easy-going.
On the other side, Zhen Shu, who had just arrived, sat among the Wenchen, looking at the huge square in front of him and the crowded soldiers on both sides, and exclaimed: "What a big scene"
"Just arranging this place, it will cost more than a thousand gold, and the Hou Ye just wants to have fun with the soldiers" Zhen Yan smiled, the news that Yuan Xi was canonized as An Youhou had spread rapidly, and their names naturally changed.
"No wonder you keep saying in your letter that Xianyi is so noble in Youzhou, just this hand will make the soldiers love him" Zhen Shu looked at the excited soldiers and said with a sigh.
"Hou Ye is eloquent, loves the people, understands the soldiers, and will inevitably fly for nine days in the future, commanding everything, this is just a matter of time" Zhen Yan said with a look of reverence.
Zhen Shu took a look at it unexpectedly, and found that after the incomparable loyalty in his eyes, he suddenly smiled slightly, it seems that the fortune teller for Mi'er really has some means, originally thought that marrying Yuan Xi could not be in the position of any queen, at this time nonsense, now it seems that the former second son, the current Youzhou Thorn History, An Youhou is too deeply hidden.
"This thousand gold, our Zhen family is out," Zhen Shu suddenly said firmly.
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "Uncle Yingming, my Zhen family has been completely united with the Hou Ye, one loss is lost, and one glory is honored."
After Zhen Shu nodded, he said solemnly: "I have to send a few more maids to serve your sister in the inner mansion, and I want the kind of absolute loyalty, Mi'er can't have a little thing to do with this baby."
"Uncle, don't worry, Xiu'er will go to see her sister every day," Zhen Yan said.
Hearing the name Xiu'er, Zhen Shu immediately frowned, and his face was quite dissatisfied.
Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Uncle, in fact, Xiu'er is really good to me, you have also seen it"
"Hmph, if it weren't for you telling me that she was General Zilong's sister, and the promise of the Hou Ye, I would never have allowed her to enter the gate of my Zhen family" Zhen Shu said angrily, the best generation of the Zhen family actually went to a widow as a wife, and they laughed generously when they said it.
Zhen Yan suddenly sighed, it seems that it will take some time for the uncle to accept it.
At this time, after a high horn sounded, at the gate of the test field, suddenly a large number of brightly armored guards rushed out on horses, and then four carriages slowly entered, the leader of the one was obviously much larger than the other three, and it was more luxurious, and the general of the guard battalion, Hu Niu'er, and the deputy general Yu Rui only followed on both sides.
Now it was quiet in an instant, and the soldiers looked over one by one with admiration, and everyone understood that Yuan Xi had arrived.
