"Tomorrow is Chongyang, and the return date of the Qing family is imminent, so I wish the Qing family a smooth journey here."

"Thank you, take care."

Before leaving the palace, the sage Li Yuan said goodbye to Xue Lang. I will leave the day after tomorrow, after leaving the palace today, Xue Lang will have no business to enter the palace to face the saint again, and it is impossible to come to say goodbye to the saint before leaving. Therefore, the two monarchs and ministers said goodbye at this time.

Saying goodbye to leaving the palace, Xue Lang, in addition to thanking the saint for his kindness, folded his fingers and calculated, isn't tomorrow the Double Ninth Festival in early September?

Xue Lang is the birthday of the ninth day of the ninth month of September, but this is back to the Tang Dynasty, how should this birthday be calculated? Is this a year older or a year younger?

It feels so sad! Hawkers, don't live this birthday after that, you don't have to worry about it. I also felt a little funny, and couldn't help but smile silently.

When I returned to the house, I saw several carriages parked at the door, and all of them were filled with chrysanthemums. In the front yard, the male servants were moving inside under the command of Chang Jian, and in the backyard, Su Siniang also commanded people to place-

"These chrysanthemums were bought for tomorrow's holiday?"

"Big brother!"

Jiang Lin and his family greeted Xue Lang. Xue Lang nodded.

The Tang people passed the Chongyang Festival, and there was a custom of climbing high to appreciate the chrysanthemum. The latest and fastest update of all the start-ups in the county mansion, although the garden is not bare, but the flowers have not yet grown, tomorrow is the festival, chrysanthemums can only be bought now.

Who knew that Su Siniang was stunned and said, "Big brother's words are wrong, what family will buy so many chrysanthemums during the festival?" These are all sent by other prefectures to the eldest brother. This is sent from the East Palace, this is from the Qin Palace, this is from the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, this is from the Li Shangshu Mansion, this is from Yang Zhengqing of Sinong Temple, this is my Aya......"

"Da Lang, someone from the palace, the sage gave the palace wine and chrysanthemums, and gave Da Lang a holiday to appreciate the chrysanthemums."

Su Siniang hadn't finished speaking, Changjian came to report, and the sage sent chrysanthemums again.

Xue Lang was speechless, Su Siniang smiled, and said: "The eldest brother is a powerful minister, and the cost of buying chrysanthemums during the festival can be saved." ”

Xue Lang thought about it, really, so many people sent chrysanthemums, didn't it save him the money to buy chrysanthemums himself? He laughed out loud, dressed up, and received the gifts of the saints.

It was the small yellow gate next to the saint, and he had several encounters with Xue Lang. The sage Comrade Li Yuan also gave Xue Lang a cart of chrysanthemums, the flowers and branches are displayed, the flowers are colorful, and the flower pots are extremely delicate and beautiful.

In addition to chrysanthemums, there are also chrysanthemum wine, as well as a set of exquisite wine utensils produced by the official kiln. After Xue Lang thanked him, Xiao Huangmen immediately said goodbye and left, looking at the string of carriages following behind him, it was estimated that there were still many families to send.

Sending away the little yellow door, Xue Lang went back to the backyard and said directly to Su Siniang: "As long as Xiuniang cooks some more meals tomorrow, the things for the festival will be complete!" ”

That's what I said! The crowd burst into laughter.

It can only be said that people are more rough and bold in giving gifts, and the measure words are all cars. One car per family...... The county mansion was full. If you receive too many gifts, there will be a headache, that is, return gifts.

Naturally, there is no need to return gifts in the Prince's East Palace, Qin Wangfu, and Sage's Palace, but the gifts sent by Li Gang's Mansion, Yang Zhengqing's Mansion and the Su family are to be returned. Xue Lang didn't have any preparations, so he couldn't buy it outside and give it away, right? It feels so insincere.

I couldn't think of a reason, so I pulled Jiang Lin over: "Ah Lin, you say, how should I give gifts to Li Shangshu, Yang Zhengqing and your father-in-law?" Or buy a cart of chrysanthemums to send to it? ”

Jiang Lin smiled: "Why is the eldest brother so worried? What are the strengths of the eldest brother's mansion that other mansions don't have? ”

Xue Lang thought about it, the customs and methods of the Double Ninth Festival, in addition to climbing the heights and planting dogwoods to appreciate chrysanthemums, it seems that there is also food. Chinese celebrate festivals and are always inseparable from eating. No matter what festival you have, eating and eating in a different way is the point.

So, Xue Lang asked tentatively: "Food?" ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Ah Lin. Chang Jian, come here, go shopping. ”

asked Shang Changjian to go out to purchase, mainly because Xue Lang wanted to buy some good rice wine. If you don't go to see it in person, how can you rest assured! happened to come to Chang'an, and he hadn't done much shopping, so he called Jiang Lin, brought Su Siniang with him, and took the guards with him, and a group of people went shopping.

Let's go to East Market first. It's probably a holiday, there are quite a lot of people in Dongshi today, as soon as he entered, Xue Lang said to Jiang Lin: "It's rare to come out once, Ah Lin will take his younger siblings to go around, and see if he can buy something for his younger siblings." ”

Jiang Lin thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will take the dyeing and dyeing around, Sun Chang, you don't have to follow me, continue to protect my eldest brother." ”

"Whoa."

The group split up. Xue Lang first asked Changjian to buy materials according to the list, while he himself took a string of guards and went to the wine shops one by one to see whose rice wine was better.

It is said that the history of rice wine can be traced back to the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties, although Xue Lang was skeptical, however, there was rice wine sold in the Tang Dynasty.

"Young Sun."

When I was shopping, I actually ran into Li Gang. Xue Lang was sitting in the wine shop, tasting wine with a wine glass. Hearing someone call him, he looked back and saw that it was Li Gang, the old man dressed up today...... It can be described as a flower branch, and a chrysanthemum has been worn on the head wrapped in the head.

Seeing this, Xue Lang smiled and said, "I've seen Li Gong." Li Gong, tomorrow will be Chongyang, and today he will wear a chrysanthemum, which shows that he is quite interested. ”

Li Gang smiled and said, "This is the idea of the great-granddaughter of the family. The old man is already dying, and he doesn't know how many days he can accompany his little granddaughter, so she can let her be happy. ”

Li Gang was considered to be the age of longevity in ancient times...... Xue Lang, a single dog, cautiously asked: "Dare to ask Gong Li, how many generations of granddaughters are yours in your mouth?" ”

Li Gang replied with a smile: "It is the fifth grandson of the old man, who is just three years old this year, which is the age of innocence and childishness. ”

The first grandson is the son, the second grandson is the grandson, the third grandson is the great-grandson, the fourth grandson is the great-grandson, and the fifth grandson...... I feel like I'm losing so badly! Xue Lang, a single dog, receives 10,000 critical damage! Ask for milk and ask for shaman!

Probably because the expression on Xue Lang's face was too obvious, which made Li Gang laugh, and the old man patted Xue Lang on the shoulder while laughing: "My eldest man is at your age, his son is already enlightened and studying, and Youyang needs to work hard." ”

Xue Lang...... arched his hand and said cleanly: "Goodbye Li Gong!" ”

Walking far away, you can still hear Li Gang laughing proudly. What kind of people are these! Laughing at such an inhumane thing for a single dog, doing it so skillfully, who says that Lao Li is upright, Xue Lang will definitely give a pair of freshly baked big eyes.

Probably stimulated by Li Gang, Xue Lang's shopping desire broke out once, and he purchased a lot of things, some of which he would use for tomorrow's holiday, and some of which he was going to take back to Weize Pass.

Fortunately, there is money and silk rewarded by the saints, otherwise, Xue Lang can be turned from a small rich class to a poor middle peasant during the festival. I bought a lot of things in one go and asked the store to deliver them to the county office. After visiting the East Market, I didn't feel like it was enjoyable, so I went to the West Market for a walk, and met a Hu merchant who made grapes well, and Xue Lang bought two jars of wine in one go.
