After tossing for a long time, the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty finally came. For Fat Lu, this is also destined to be an extremely hard day.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he accompanied Wu Yingxiong and his wife and Shang Wanxian and others to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, gave gifts to Wu Yingxiong's eldest son Wu Shifan, who had just turned three years old, and gave New Year greetings to Wu Yingxiong, Princess Jianning, Lin Tianqing and Shang Wanxi, and then returned to his room to receive New Year's greetings from the dogs. After tossing these false gifts, the time was already more than half of the early morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I hurriedly prepared and checked the things that entered the palace the next day to pay New Year's greetings, the time was already Yinshi, and then I was confused on the kang for a while, and before the time came, Lu Fatzi was reluctant to get up from the kang that had just been hot, and while cursing the perverted etiquette of the Tartar court, he washed and changed clothes and prepared to report to Zhengyang Gate.

Because he knew that Lu Fatzi was entering the palace for the first time to participate in the New Year's ceremony, Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing, who were both good at Lu Fatzi, gave kind advice, Wu Yingxiong arranged for someone to send a pair of thick knee pads to Lu Fatzi, saying that the ceremony took a long time, and the ground was cold and biting in winter. Lin Tianqing sent his entourage to send some pitted dried dates to Lu Fatzi, warning Lu Fatzi to drink less water and not eat, he was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and he could use the dried dates hidden in his sleeve to satisfy his hunger. Fat Lu also sincerely thanked him.

"Damn, Kang Xiaomazi's family is really fucking perverted, how did they come up with so many perverted rules?"

changed to another seven-grade sesame official stall for such a thing, and someone helped arrange a good position when he entered the palace to participate in the New Year's ceremony, and no matter how cumbersome and troublesome the etiquette was, he was willing to do it, but who was Fat Lu? As soon as he thought of kneeling for Emperor Mazi for a few hours in the wind and snow at the top of the palace, Fat Lu was angry! Under the anger, Lu Fatzi suddenly had a plan, found an excuse to send Erlang and the Liu brothers out temporarily, and then moved the gift he was preparing for Xiao Mazi, lifted the silk silk, opened his pants and took out the work to pour water on the gift, and there were words in his mouth, "Lord will give you some fertilizer, so that you will be prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, and the generations will ......!" ”

After packing up and dressing up, Fat Lu gave the dogs a day off, and personally went to the gate with gifts to meet Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others. At the same time, Princess Jianning also took Shang Wanzhen out, ready to personally lead Shang Wanyan into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the old witch of Xiaozhuang - Wu Yingxiong was kind enough to pay out of his own pocket and prepare precious gifts for Shang Wanxian, but he also fulfilled the righteousness of the world's brother. It was not until this moment that Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others discovered that Lu Fatzi actually had two gifts, one was a long box wrapped in silk, and the other was a cylinder covered with silk. Lin Tianqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lord Lu, what is your second gift?" Why haven't I heard you say it beforehand? ”

"Back to Lin senior, please forgive me for selling a pass." Lu Fatzi said with a smile: "This is a good thing specially prepared for the emperor, and I am ready to give the emperor a surprise, and then the mystery can be revealed." ”

"Alright then, whatever you want." Lin Tianqing didn't bother to delve into it, but kindly warned: "But this matter is not a joke, it's usually nothing, today's day is special, if it is suspected of committing taboo things, it is best not to send it." ”

"Thank you seniors for your advice, the juniors understand that the juniors won't joke with their heads." Fat Lu replied with a grin. Lin Tianqing thought about it, so he didn't say anything, but went to Wu Yingxiong's mansion with Lu Fatzi to provide a sedan chair, followed Wu Yingxiong's four-carrying silver sedan chair and Princess Jianning's phoenix, and killed all the way to Zhengyangmen.

Halfway through the hour, Lu Fatzi and his entourage successfully arrived at Zhengyangmen, Princess Jianning, who had to enter the harem to pay New Year's greetings, took Shang Wanzhen to Xihuamen and entered the palace, while Lu Fatzi and Wu Yingxiong and others got off the sedan chair outside Zhengyangmen, waiting for the Ministry of Rites to arrange a queue to enter the palace. At this moment, there is already a sea of people outside the Zhengyang Gate, and officials of all sizes continue to pour in from all directions, gathering into a group outside the Zhengyang Gate where the wind and snow are combined, saluting each other and saying auspicious words, which is very lively.

"Yifeng, it's your first time in the capital, you don't know the rules, don't run around." also took advantage of this opportunity to specially allow Wu Yingxiong, who was wearing a yellow coat, to tell Lu Fatzi: "If you don't understand something, just ask me or Lord Lin, there are too many people, don't get separated from us, and it will be troublesome if you can't find anyone when you enter the palace." ”

Fat Lu nodded and thanked him, and Lin Tianqing over there pulled Fat Lu to an old man wearing a second-grade official uniform, and ordered: "Yifeng, this is Lord Shangshu Huang of the Ministry of Rites, give him a salute quickly, this time thanks to him for arranging a good position for you and giving you a chance to show your face." ”

"Humble Lu Yifeng, please say hello to Lord Huang." Lu Fatzi knew that Huang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was a friend of Lin Tianqing, and respected him as an elder, so he honestly gave Huang Ji a thousand salutes.

"Lord Lu, please get up quickly, outside the palace gate, there is no need to be polite. This official has also admired your name for a long time, and now I can see it, and it is really a talent. Huang Ji picked up Fat Lu with a smile, looked Fat Lu up and down by the light of the lantern, turned his head and smiled at Lin Tianqing: "Old Lin, this Lord Lu is neither your protégé nor your old man, why do you want the old man to take care of him so much?" Tell me honestly, do you want to recruit this famous Lord Lu as your grandson-in-law? ”

"Lao Huang, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, don't teach young people badly." Lin Tianqing and Huang Ji were used to joking, and they didn't think it was against it, they just smiled and said: "It's rare to beg you once, you are so suspicious, if you suspect that the old man wants to cultivate cronies, then how about the old man give you Yifeng and let you recruit him as a son-in-law?" ”

"Get out! You old boy wants to take advantage of me again, a generation higher than me! Huang Ji feigned anger, looked at Lu Fatzi with a smile and said: "However, if it weren't for the fact that the old man's only unmarried little daughter had already made a promise, the old man would really have this thought." - Master Lu, do you know? Just last night, the emperor also took the time to ask the old man, asking if you are going to enter the palace today to pay New Year's greetings. The emperor attaches so much importance to you, Gao Shengzhi is waiting. ”

"Thanks to the blessings of the prince and Lin's predecessors, and also to the kindness of Lord Huang." Fat Lu was honestly polite, "If it weren't for the grace of Prince Pingxi, the wrong love of Senior Lin, and your special favor Lord Huang, this kind of blessing from your humble position?" ”

"Can speak, Lao Lin's vision is not bad." Huang Ji laughed, and was about to say a few more polite words to Lu Fatzi and Lin Tianqing, but a few people came over there, and the first one said to Huang Ji, "Slave Kong Sizhen, please say hello to Huang Tangguan." And Lord Lin, Lord Lu, the slave family also greets you for the New Year. ”

"Sigege, you don't go to the harem to pay New Year's greetings, why did you come to Zhengyangmen?" Lin Tianqing was stunned at first, and then found that Kong Sizhen was wearing a general's uniform, so he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Look at the old man's surname, Sigege, you are also a first-class guard, you should go to Zhengyangmen to Taihe Hall to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor." ”

"Lord Lin, that's wrong." Kong Sizhen smiled, pointed at Lu Fatzi and said with a smile: "Thanks to this Lord Lu, the slave family has been demoted to a second-class guard." ”

Fat Lu shrank his head and didn't dare to speak, Lin Tianqing and Huang Ji over there had also heard more or less that Kong Sizhen had suffered a big loss in front of Fat Lu, and they were also embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything. And Kong Sizhen didn't seem to realize it, just dragged out the people around him to introduce Huang Ji and Lin Tianqing, among them, in addition to Kong Sizhen's house slave Wang Yongnian and others, there were also Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, two unlucky guys, glaring at Lu Fat Man viciously, as if they wanted to tear Lu Fat Man apart - they can't help but hate it, thanks to Lu Fat Man's blessing, yesterday's New Year, Shang Wanyan refused to go to Shang Zhili's house for a reunion dinner, but insisted on staying at Wu Yingxiong's house, and pumped Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong's fat faces with a snapping sound, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, who knew that they couldn't explain to their father when they went home, naturally hated the culprit Lu Fatzi to the core.

Unexpectedly, there was also a seven-grade sesame official in Kong Sizhen's team - the new Fujian Liancheng County Commander Xie Dong, when he was introduced, Kong Sizhen also deliberately complained to Huang Ji: "Huang Tangguan, you really don't give face, this Lord Xie Dong Xie is the protégé of the second prince of Pingnan Wang, and he went to visit you with the name of the second prince, and wanted to ask you to arrange the first foreign official for him, but you refused to agree." Who has such a big face that can compare to the second prince? ”

"This ......." Huang Ji was a little embarrassed, so he had to answer: "Don't blame Si Gege and the second prince, the key is that Lord Lin took the lead and said hello first, and Huang also agreed." So there was no way, Xia Guan had to offend the second prince once. ”

"Sigege, since this Lord Xie wants to stand in the first place so much, then just give him the humble position." Lu Fatzi, who had never cared about the number of people standing in the station, came out to play a round game, and arched his hand to Kong Sizhen and said: "Since Sigege favors Lord Xie so much, I want to come to Lord Xie is also your person, since Master Xie is a person from Sigege, then it is enough to give him the first place." ”

"Lord Lu, you really know how to talk cheaply." Kong Sizhen snorted coldly with a straight face: "The etiquette of the ceremony has long been reported to the emperor, can Lord Huang change it?" ”

"Then it can't be helped." Lu Fatzi scratched his head, feeling that it was really difficult for him to understand the thoughts of officials in this era, isn't it just a team position, and there is no real benefit, at most, he can only let Xiao Mazi see himself, can he fight like this?

"Thank you Sigege for your love, but the etiquette has been decided, and I don't dare to force it." The thirty-year-old Liancheng County, who was white and chubby and not under Fat Lu, made Xie Dong bow his hand, spoke with a Changsha accent, and glared at Fat Lu viciously.

"You can't force it, who told your master that he doesn't have as much face as Lord Lu's master?" Kong Sizhen snorted, looked at Fat Lu without smiling and asked: "Lord Lu, today you are the most conspicuous one among the foreign officials, the emperor will definitely notice you, I don't know what New Year's gift you have prepared for the emperor, can you take it out for us all to see?" Huang Tangguan favors you so much, don't embarrass him. ”

"The humble position is a poor official, and he only prepared a little worthless gift, so he didn't take it out and ask Sigege to look at it." Lu Fatzi Liangliang held the long cloth bag in his hand, and said casually: "The humble post prepared two gifts for the emperor, and the other one was a little heavy, and the humble post was temporarily placed in the sedan chair, and then brought into the palace later." ”

As soon as Fat Lu lit up the long cloth bag, Kong Sizhen immediately recognized it at a glance, the length, width, thickness and thickness were definitely the gift box he used to hold Dong Qichang's authentic works! Secretly happy in her heart, Kong Sizhen didn't ask Fat Lu to open the gift box, but just smiled coquettishly: "Lord Lu is polite, who doesn't know that you are a wealthy businessman in Yunnan, with a rich family property, and you can give gifts to the emperor, and you can prevaricate with worthless things?" That's it, since you don't say it, then the slave family won't ask much. ”

"Lord Xie, what kind of congratulatory gift did you prepare for the emperor?" Seeing that Kong Sizhen was pestering Lu Fatzi, Lin Tianqing, who took care of Lu Fatzi a little, deliberately changed the topic, turned to the Qipin County in Kong Sizhen's team, and asked with a smile: "Lord Xie, you want to occupy the first place among foreign officials so much, do you want to give the emperor something good to make a splash and set a head at the New Year's ceremony?" ”

"Lord Huilin, dare to have such a mind?" Xie Dong also knew that he was robbed of the limelight by Fat Lu, all because Lin Tianqing, an old thing, took the door of the Yellow Machine for Fat Lu, so he didn't have a good voice towards Lin Tianqing, but he didn't smile and brightened a long box wrapped in satin, and said: "The humble position is just a coincidence, and I accidentally bumped into a treasure, and I am ready to dedicate it to the emperor. ”

"Oh, can you open our eyes?" Lin Tianqing asked curiously.

"Lord Huilin, I have to sell a pass." Xie Dong said with a smug smile on his face: "Humble luck, this gift came too coincidentally, even the master of the family didn't report it, and he was ready to give the emperor a surprise, so it will not be displayed for the time being." ”

"Heh, what a good time for your gift? How coincidental can there be a congratulatory gift from Lord Lu? Lin Tianqing sneered, and said in his heart that no matter how good your luck is, you can have the luck of this kid Lu Yifeng - you can buy Dong Qichang's true works for two taels of silver!

"Don't say it, Ao Zhongtang is here." At this time, Huang Ji interrupted everyone's small talk and ordered: "The hour is coming, please prepare everything you should prepare, and enter the palace immediately." Lin Tianqing and Lu Fatzi agreed first, hugged their fists to Kong Sizhen and Shang Zhixiao and others, and went back to meet Wu Yingxiong and others.

"Zhang Wanqiang's side, did you bring the words?" Looking at the backs of Lu Fatzi and Lin Tianqing leaving, Kong Sizhen smiled gloomily, turned to Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili's brother and asked, "And Li Tianyu, have you explained everything?" ”

"Sigege, rest assured, Gonggong Zhang has already sent someone to pass the word just now, and he has already told the emperor the news." Shang Zhili replied in a very low voice: "And when the time comes, if the emperor can't remember, Gonggong Zhang will remind the emperor." ”

"Li Tianyu's side, I've also explained it." Shang Zhixiao smiled and said: "Probably because he saw that the Yunnan governor sent an envoy to fly and hated Lin Tianqing's old thing to the bone, Li Tianyu agreed without even confiscating the silver, and was ready to slap Lin Tianqing's old thing hard at the New Year's ceremony." ”

"Good." Kong Sizhen nodded with satisfaction, smiled fiercely at the back of the fat man Lu, and said in his heart: "Dead fat man, wait and see!" The old lady's cheapness is so easy to take advantage of? At the New Year's ceremony, he took the stolen goods and presented them to the emperor, and he was exposed on the spot, see how you die! ”

………………

With the arrival of Chen Shizheng, the New Year's ceremony of mites that Lu Fatzi hated was also officially started, first according to the shift arranged by the Ministry of Rites, lined up into the palace, crossed the Jinshui Bridge into the Taihe Gate, and stood in front of the Taihe Palace to wait. As a result, as Lin Tianqing boasted, Huang Ji really arranged the best position among the foreign officials for Lu Fatzi, in addition to the prince in front, Baylor and the Beijing officials above the fifth grade, followed by more than 30 foreign officials in Beijing, although there are many five or six officials such as the prefect and the governor, but except for an elderly prefect who was arranged in the first position outside the queue, Lu Fatzi, a seven-grade sesame official, stood in the first place in the first row, and happened to face to face with Xiao Mazi's dragon chair, which made the prefects and governors in the team full of reverence, Dudao Lu Fat Man must be a backstage backer, extremely tough.

Standing in the cold and snowy early morning waiting for Xiao Mazi, of course the taste is not pleasant, and what makes Lu Fat Man feel even more uncomfortable is boredom, not allowed to make loud noises and move around at will, even if he is standing next to him, it is still Liancheng County Ling Xie Dong, who is very different from himself, so that Lu Fat Man does not even have a whispering object, so he can only stand there stupidly, and curse the eighteenth generation of the ancestors and thirteenth generations of the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family in his heart.

At three o'clock, the bell and drum of the ritual music rang in unison, Xiao Mazi climbed to the top of the steps of the Taihe Palace, sat facing south, and accepted the curse of the hundred officials kneeling and Lu Fatzi, followed by the opening of the pen and the opening ceremony, and so on Xiao Mazi tossed like a dance, and then the hundred officials went to the table to congratulate, and there was an official who didn't know what to call to recite the New Year's greetings written by Xiao Mazi himself, and then waited for this male duck throat bastard official (Lu Fatzi language) shook his head and read it for more than an hour, and then it was Xiao Mazi who rewarded the prince of the Eight Banners with a wishful purse... ………

After Lu Fatzi cursed the eighteenth generation of the eighteenth generation of the Luo family and the thirteenth generation of the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family one by one for the twenty-third time, the main drama finally opened, and the civil and military officials stepped forward to kowtow according to the shift to salute the New Year. But it's a pity that Lu Fatzi is not qualified to stand on the first shift, and even Lin Tianqing, who is specially allowed to wear a second-grade official uniform, is not qualified to do so, the first shift to pay New Year's greetings is Shangshu Zhongtang headed by Ao Bai, as well as Wu Yingxiong, Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe, these vassal kings.

Although he was jealous of Xiao Mazi, Ao Bai gave Xiao Mazi a lot of money on the face, and gave a gold jade screen carved with eight flags to enter the customs, which was at least worth 10,000 taels of silver. Wu Yingxiong sent a pearl spelled with the word 'Fu' plaque, Xiao Mazi still returned a jade Ruyi, and most of the other adults were like this, and to Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhixin brothers, the two brothers gave the little fat man a pair of jade jade horses inlaid with night pearls, Xiao Mazi also thanked the eunuch to take it, and was about to return the jade Ruyi, Xiao Mazi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Two Shang Aiqing, I heard that you don't plan to pay tribute to me today is Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" authenticity? What's the matter, I changed my mind at the moment? ”

Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili didn't speak, Xiao Mazi hurriedly smiled again: "Don't care, two Aiqing, I don't mean to force you to hand over the treasure, it's just that I have heard the name of Dong Qichang's masterpiece for a long time and want to see it." If you like it, just keep it for yourself, I won't care. ”

"Back to the emperor, it's not that the slave is reluctant to give up this authentic work." Shang Zhixiao knelt down on his knees, and said with a sad face: "In fact, the slave is planning to present this authentic painting of Dong Qichang to the emperor, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, just the night before yesterday, the house of the slave brother was stolen, and the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" was stolen by thieves! ”

"Oops, it's a trick!" Hearing Shang Zhixiao's words, Wu Yingxiong, who was standing on the side, suddenly exploded with a bang, and immediately guessed the reason why Lu Fatzi could buy Dong Qichang's authentic handiwork for two taels of silver - this is to dig a big pit and wait for Pingxi Wangfu to jump!

"Stolen?!" Xiao Mazi couldn't help but be a little angry, and shouted: "Where is Shuntianfu?" ”

"The minions are here." Yin Li Tianyu, who was standing in the second shift, walked out quickly, trotted to Shang Zhixiao and knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and took the initiative to say: "Back to the emperor, yesterday afternoon, the people in Shang Efu's family have gone to the minion's yamen to report the case, and the minions have also found out the approximate whereabouts of the stolen goods. ”

"That's good." Xiao Mazi put away his anger and snorted: "Then I will give you three days to dare to enter the annex mansion to commit theft, these thieves cannot be spared, and must be severely punished according to the law!" ”

"Cover." Li Tianyu respectfully agreed. Over there, Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing of the second shift had white faces, and they wanted to tell Fat Lu to throw away the calligraphy quickly, but they didn't have a chance.

After this small turmoil, the ceremony continued, and hundreds of civil and military officials stepped forward in turn to say auspicious words for the New Year, and gave Xiao Mazi valuable treasures, among which there were many valuable things, and Xiao Mazi quickly left this little thing behind. And Kong Sizhen, the Shang family brothers, Li Tianyu and others secretly laughed, constantly peeking at Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing's earth-colored expressions, and screamed in their hearts.

Finally, under the indications of Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing to wipe their necks, as well as the sneers of Kong Sizhen, the Shang family brothers, the Geng family brothers, Tu Hai and Li Tianyu and others, the foreign official class was led forward by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the old prefect took the lead, knelt down on Xiao Mazi's knees, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen and others wish my emperor a good New Year, long live." ”

"Zhong Aiqing, flat." Xiao Mazi, who also felt a little tired, waved his hand lazily, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the first person in the front row, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, "This weird Lu Fat Man, what gift do you plan to give me today?" ”

"Weichen Lu Yifeng, I wish my emperor long live the New Year." Over there, Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing were about to become ants on the hot pot, Lu Fatzi was still funny here, when everyone else stood up, Lu Fatzi was still lying there, and read aloud alone: "May my emperor have smooth sailing, Erlong take off, Sanyang Kaitai, four seasons of peace, five blessings, six or six Shun, seven stars shine, eight directions to the dynasty, ninety-nine concentric, perfect, hundred blessings, one emperor through the ages, long live long live, long live!" ”

"Huh? The Ministry of Rites has arranged such a congratulatory message? How did we not know? Most of the people present were in the same place, and Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing were eager to strangle Lu Fatzi to death - the matter of you taking the thief's stolen goods to the emperor to pay New Year's greetings is about to be exposed, what else do you want to show off? I'm afraid that the emperor won't notice you, right?

"Haha, God open your eyes, this dead fat man is simply killing himself!" Kong Sizhen and the others were very happy, knowing that this time it would be difficult for Xiao Mazi even if he didn't want to notice Fat Lu.

"Ha, Lu Aiqing." Sure enough, Xiao Mazi really smiled and asked, "Did you think of this congratulatory message yourself, or did the Ministry of Rites arrange it for you?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is Weichen's wish." Lu Fatzi replied respectfully: "This is also the common wish of all the colleagues present, what Weichen thinks in his heart, so he can't help but read it, and hopes that the emperor will forgive him." ”

"The congratulatory message is good, I forgive you for your innocence, get up." Xiao Mazi waved his hand generously, and asked with a smile: "Lu Aiqing, you always like to give me some surprises, this time I entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to me, in addition to this surprise, are there any other surprises?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't dare to boast." Lu Fatzi said respectfully: "But Weichen can use his head to guarantee that one of the two New Year's gifts that Wechen presented to the emperor today is far more valuable than the gifts of your colleagues, and even all the other gifts are not as noble as Weichen's gift!" ”

"Oh, what kind of gift is that?" Xiao Mazi asked curiously. The civil and military officials over there looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this fat man Lu really dares to brag, a gift is more noble than all our gifts combined, it seems that he has no such value, right?

"Back to the emperor, it's this gift." Fat Lu picked up the cylindrical object placed at his feet, deliberately sold Guanzi, looked at the curious eyes of the civil and military officials around him, and then pulled up the corner of the silk silk and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please look - Wan Nianqing!" ”

After that, Fat Lu pulled the silk silk, revealing a small wooden barrel tightly tied with three iron hoops, as well as the verdant evergreen cultivated in the bucket, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no gold and no shellfish, only a pot of Ruicao iron hoop and a bucket of evergreen to dedicate to my emperor!" I wish the Qing Dynasty prosperity and prosperity for thousands of years! ”

"Evergreen!" The hundreds of officials present, including the frightened Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing, all exclaimed, and they regretted it in their hearts - why didn't they think of this good fortune?

"Good! What an iron hoop and a bucket of evergreen! Xiao Mazi stood up, pushed away Zhang Wanqiang, who came up to support him, with a happy face, and said loudly: "So Ruicao, I should come to pick it up in person!" ”

After that, Xiao Mazi really walked down the steps of the Taihe Palace, and in the envious and jealous eyes of the civil and military officials, he personally took the Wan Nian Qing offered by Lu Fatzi's hands with both hands, brought it to the front and admired it carefully, and lowered his head to smell the faint fragrance. After a long time, Xiao Mazi said loudly: "It's so fragrant, it's so Ruicao!" I also thought that the gift that Lu Aiqing received was the first of all the congratulatory gifts today! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials knelt down together, and the mountain shouted long live. Of course, Fat Lu had no choice but to kneel, sneering proudly in his heart, "Can it not be fragrant?" I just watered it with fresh fertilizer this morning! ”

"Come on, reward Lu Aiqing with a jade ruyi and a yellow coat!" On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when he encountered such a good fortune, Xiao Mazi was overjoyed and awarded a reward, and said loudly: "Then pass the decree to the Internal Affairs Office, and the iron hoop and a bucket of 10,000-year-old green columns will be used as a tribute, and the provinces will pay tribute every year!" ”

"Obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The hundred officials shouted again, and at the same time scolded in their hearts - they knew that a young tree that was not even worth ten cents could be exchanged for a yellow coat, and Lao Tzu should also offer such auspiciousness!

"Convinced, the old lady is convinced, this fat man Lu is really full of tricks." Kong Sizhen's mood is even more complicated, both envy, jealousy, and a little sad - how can such an excellent man like to go against me?

Sadness is sadness, Kong Sizhen still didn't forget to disgust Lu Fatzi, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch beside Xiao Mazi, Zhang Wanqiang understood, and reminded the male duck in his throat: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu said that he wanted to offer two gifts, and you haven't seen one yet." ”

"Oh." Xiao Mazi came back to his senses and smiled at Lu Fatzi: "Lu Aiqing, what about your second gift?" ”

"Your Majesty, here." Fat Lu opened the long package, took out the exquisite long box specially ordered by Kong Sizhen, and raised his hands above his head.

"What kind of baby?" Xiao Mazi was curious to open the wooden box, but saw that the wooden box at the bottom of Huang Aya contained a beautiful smoking gun made of silver, and a jade box. Xiao Mazi picked up the cigarette gun in one hand and the jade box in the other, and asked suspiciously, "Lu Aiqing, what is this?" ”

"Why isn't it "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing"?!" Kong Sizhen, the Shang family brothers, the Geng family brothers, Wu Yingxiong, Li Tianyu and Lin Tianqing and others were all dumbfounded, and then Wu Yingxiong and Lin Tianqing all breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone in their hearts finally landed, and Kong Sizhen and Shang Zhixiao and others almost didn't shout out, "What about our "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" sticker? Where did it go? That's a good thing worth thousands of taels! ”

"Back to the emperor, this is a smoking gun and Eight Banners Fushou ointment." Lu Fatzi said solemnly: "When Wei Chen was studying Western works, he accidentally discovered that if this hibiscus is used to suck, it can cultivate the essence and nourish the body, strengthen the body, avoid all diseases, stay away from medicinal stones, and also have magical effects such as beauty and beauty, refreshing and analgesic, strengthening the brain and marrow!" Western dignitaries, scholars and wise men are all proud to smoke this hibiscus, which is extremely precious. Although the hibiscus paid tribute by the Western feudal states in the Qing Dynasty has been handed down to the world, most of the people in the world use it for medicinal stones, and few of them are used for smoking. Weichen dared to offer such a divine object to the emperor, just to ask the emperor to try to raise the dragon body for thousands of years. ”

"Ah Furong, I have also seen it in ancient books, it is indeed a rare and good medicine, but it is used to smoke it, and there are so many effects, I have never heard of it." Xiao Mazi nodded, and asked curiously: "But Lu Aiqing, why do you call A Furong Eight Banners Fushou Ointment?" ”

"Back to the emperor, how can such a noble elixir be passed down to the world and allowed to be used by ordinary people?" Lu Fatzi said respectfully: "So Weichen has the courage to change the name of this medicine to the Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, which is to hope that the world will remember that this thing is noble and cannot be abused by the people, and it can only be enjoyed exclusively by my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, helping my Eight Banners soldiers to be strong and strong, skilled in bows and horses, win a hundred battles, and dominate the country for thousands of years!" ”

"I see." Xiao Mazi nodded, thoughtful, and after a while, Xiao Mazi said: "Then I will let people try it first, if there is really such an effect, then I will issue a decree to officially name this medicine Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, and list it as a special thing for my Eight Banners soldiers." ”

"We're thanking you." Lu Fatzi kowtowed, and kindly suggested: "Your Majesty, Wechen heard that the Empress Dowager Lafayette has a stubborn migraine, and there are many old injuries on Ao Zhongtang's body, and he often can't sleep at night when he has an attack, and asks them to take two mouthfuls of Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, if it doesn't work, Weichen is willing to accept the crime of bullying the king." ”

"And this?" Xiao Mazi became more and more interested, raised his head and smiled at Ao Bai who was not far away: "Ao Zhongtang, do you hear it?" Interested in trying it? ”

"The minion does have a lot of old wounds on his body, if this medicine does have such a miraculous effect, the minion really wants to try it." Ao Bai nodded, and smiled at Fat Lu again: "Lord Lu, send me some another day, if it is really so effective, the old man will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Yes, I remember my humble duty." Lu Fatzi agreed - to give Aobai these people Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, this is a great thing that Lu Fatzi can't ask for.

"Damn, why didn't this dead fat man give "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing"? Where the hell did that copybook go? Seeing that Lu Fatzi was left and right, Kong Sizhen and others were inevitably even more jealous and very strange - where did Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" go?

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has a distinguished gift for my emperor." Seeing Lu Fatzi talking eloquently in front of Xiao Mazi, Liancheng County Ling Xie Dong, who was standing next to Lu Fatzi, finally couldn't hold it back, and saw that Xiao Mazi was in a very good mood, so he had the courage to pick up the gift box in his hand and said loudly: "Wechen Xie Dong has heard the emperor's Danqing pen for a long time, especially likes Dong Qichang's calligraphy, Wechen exhausted his family resources, and purchased Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" authentic, please the emperor to reward it!" ”
