Chapter 376: Stranger

Today is the second day of the first month of March, the spring of March, everything is recovering, the earliest cherry blossoms and pear blossoms have bloomed, and the peach blossoms are also waiting to be released with a pink bud.

Qingzhou City is dotted with clusters of pink and white tender flowers everywhere, and the green grass is even more outside the city, the spring breeze caresses the willows, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, which is a good day for travel.

However, today, there are many people entering the city at the gates of Qingzhou, but very few people leaving the city, and the faces of the people who enter the city are full of joy, as if they are in a hurry to go to some banquet.

Today is the day of the full moon wine of the four little babies of the Wu Zhi family.

Early in the morning, Wu Zhi's house was lit up, beaming with joy, in the morning, Wu Zhi and the three ladies dressed up with four well-dressed babies came to the front hall, countless VIPs had already arrived at Wu Zhi's house to sit down, according to Shandong customs, before the full moon wine banquet, the host should prepare brown sugar tea and red eggs to entertain guests, everyone must drink this bowl of brown sugar tea to eat a red egg.

So the guests arrived one after another early in the morning, and the entire front hall was connected to dozens of tables in the front yard, whether it was the prince of Zhizhou sitting on it, or ordinary businessmen, they all held a bowl of tea and pinched the half-peeled red and white eggs, took a bite of the egg, and drank a sip of sugar tea......

When drinking sugar tea and eating eggs, it is also the time when the host's little baby officially meets the guests, Wu Zhi and the three ladies hold the four little babies to show the guests at the table, and then after hearing the praise of the guests, they will humbly say a few words about dogs, children and the like.

Ling'er and Master Li had already arrived in the inner courtyard of Wuzhi, at this time they were helping Lin Niangzi and Hua Xiaomei to work in the kitchen, and the wine and food after the banquet in the front hall were transported directly from the proud building.

At this time, Wu Zhi was holding the child and chatting with everyone at the table between Murong Yanda and Wang Ye, Murong Yanda pinched a red egg, Wang Ye held a bowl of brown sugar tea, and a thin middle-aged man was full of red face, and he was letting a kid with sheep's horns and hair in a bun next to him salute Wu Zhi.

"Hello Uncle Wu!"

The kid bowed and hugged him, Wu Zhile patted him hehe, and said with a smile: "Qing'er is really getting more and more sensible, just in time for the opening of Qingzhou College, you go to school there!" ”

This kid's name is Xie Qing, and he is Xie Xuan's only son, the same child that Wu Zhi cured his scurvy before.

"Haha! That's nature! This kid heard that Qingzhou College was opened by his Uncle Wu in Yanggu, so he clamored to come to Qingzhou to go to school! ”

Xie Xuan laughed and said, he only arrived in Qingzhou yesterday, he shouldn't have come to Qingzhou so early, but just in time for Wu Zhi's child's full moon wine, he asked the above for instructions in advance, first came to Qingzhou early and waited, after the above agreed, he first brought his wife and children to Qingzhou, and the rest of his family belongings were still in Yanggu for the time being.

I originally wanted to stay in the inn after coming to Qingzhou, but as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, he learned that Wu Zhi had already prepared a house for him, which had all the furniture, kitchen stoves, housekeepers, and mothers-in-law, and moved in directly!

Xie Xuan was very moved by Wu Zhi's thoughtfulness, but he was not polite to Wu Zhi, and lived in it directly, with his friendship with Wu Zhi, he was not polite, but he resolutely did not want the real estate title deed.

Xiao Xie Qing made a big gift to Wu Zhi again, and then went to play elsewhere, Wu Zhi smiled with satisfaction, the relationship between people is really wonderful, he saved this child, this child immediately became special in his eyes, when he was in Yanggu, Wu Zhi liked to take Xie Qing to play.

The feast of the full moon wine was about to begin, and two rows of tens of thousands of firecrackers had already been hung outside the door of the mansion, extending from the gate to the street.

Cracking sound!

………

After the sound of firecrackers and the festive smoke spread from the front of Wuzhi's mansion all day long, the entire main streets of Qingzhou suddenly lit firecrackers, and countless shops were as lively as a festival!

This is a great gift from the Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou to Wu Zhi, today, all the stores in Qingzhou, are celebrating for the four little sons of Wu Zhi's family, no matter to any store in Qingzhou to buy things, as long as you say a word to the four little sons of the Wu official's house, such as "healthy growth" and "happiness and health" and the like, all the goods in the store will be discounted by 6%, and there is no limit to purchase, buy at will!

Today is the full moon wine of the four little babies in Wuzhi's family, and it is also a shopping carnival for the people of Qingzhou!

Even some small merchants and hawkers who are not affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce are the same, and when they say auspicious words, the goods are immediately discounted!

Today not only the Wuzhi family celebrates happily, the people of Qingzhou are even more happy, the whole Qingzhou City is lively everywhere, are full of excitement and joy, the so-called celebration is to be happy alone and happy, to put it bluntly, it is to share the joy, the more people are infected with joy, the celebration is complete!

That's what Wu Zhi wants!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the impact of this shopping carnival on Qingzhou merchants and people was too great, so that later on March 2 every year, shops and people spontaneously thought that this day should be discounted, which was the shopping carnival!

On this day, it has become a conventional festival!

In fact, it is understandable that on this day, when people see cheap things, they will definitely buy them in large quantities, and although the shops are a little thinner, they sell more goods than usual, I don't know how many times, and the profit is several times more than usual!

Just like the common discount promotion in later generations, both parties benefit, and they naturally want to have a few more shots in the future!

The name of this day and earth festival is also very auspicious, called "Four Happiness Festival", which means that the four joys in the home of the military officials are coming!

Of course, these are all later words, at present, the Wuzhi family has driven all the officials and nobles in Qingzhou, and the gentry and lords are happy with the people, and they are on the rise, and they can't think too far.

The proud building is also open at half price today, and in front of the proud building also set up a free brown sugar tea and red egg distribution point, if the passers-by are thirsty, they can come over to drink a bowl of good brown sugar tea for free, there are women with children, you can come over to take a few red eggs for free to coax children.

The dyed red color of the red egg shell is extracted from a kind of grass, which is everywhere in Shandong, and there is red powder on the leaves on its head, which can be used directly with pigments, which is non-toxic and harmless, and also contains vitamins, which is absolutely healthy and environmentally friendly!

In Wu Song's military camp outside the city, Wu Zhi also sent good wine and meat to the army, of course, in the name of Murong Zhizhou, in short, everyone is happy together!

In the courtyard, Wu Zhi's descendants, the gang of heroes from the original Liangshan sat at two tables, Song Jiang and Wu Song accompanied Murong Yanda and Wang Ye at the main table, one table was Wu Yongxiao, Jin Dajian, and these group bosses, and the other table was Hua Rong, Lin Chong, Zhu Wu, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and these Qingzhou battalion generals.

It's just that there is a strange face sitting at the table of the military general, Wu Zhi has no impression at all, this person has a beard, looks like he is only in his thirties, born with thick branches and leaves, a wide waist and a round waist, wearing a bareskin suit, and he is a good man!

Although Wu Zhi had never seen this person, they all talked naturally with this strong man frequently and naturally looked at Hua Rong and Zhu Wu, and they seemed to be very familiar.

Wu Zhi was suddenly a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the person who can be brought by Wu Song to participate in this banquet should have a high status in Wu Song's heart, but why didn't Wu Song introduce this person to himself?

The bearded man seemed to notice that Wu Zhi was looking at him, and as soon as he turned his head, he turned his gaze opposite Wu Zhi, this person's eyes were blazing, without the fierceness of the body type, and the eyes of the double eyelids were very gentle and bright, he obviously knew Wu Zhi's identity, and turned his head with a nod of politeness to Wu Zhi.

"Wu Song, come with me."

Stopping Wu Song, who was toasting Murong Yanda, the brothers Wu Zhi and Wu Song complained to everyone at the table, and then found a corner to talk.
