Cheng Yue said: "Great Khan, please wait a while, wait for Erchen and Nangjiazhen to go down to greet the Great Khan first." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Kublai Khan happily agreed, and Cheng Yue took Nang Jiazhen's hand and opened the car door.

Yuxi Timur saw that the car door was about to open, and hurriedly led the guards to raise their arms and shout: "Long live the Great Khan!" Long live the Great Khan! Hooray! ”

The cry resounded in the sky and was deafening, but the first to get out of the car was not Kublai Khan, nor Chabi, but Cheng Yue and Nang Jiazhen!

Yuxi Timur was taken aback, embarrassed, and a little overwhelmed, Cheng Yue immediately signaled Yuxi Timur to continue shouting, don't stop.

Yuxi Timur came back to his senses, glanced at Cheng Yue gratefully, and then led the guards to shout long live, but Kublai Khan really didn't notice it. Slowly stepped down from the imperial chariot and walked towards the palace with Chabi.

Along the way, 2,000 guards were fully armed, swords and guns, lined up on both sides, energetic, and majestic, and Kublai Khan nodded again and again. This kind of formation is even more spectacular than his return from previous expeditions, and it seems that it is indeed appropriate to let Cheng Yue preside over the annual celebration in this palace.

Cheng Yue and Nangjia followed Kublai Khan and Chabi closely with great vigour, and Nanbi and other empresses also dragged behind, looking as comfortable as the crown prince and the crown princess. Compared with the dignified and generous of real gold, Cheng Yue is even more unangry and arrogant, looking at the world, and his momentum is strong, not losing to Kublai Khan at all!

The guards secretly exchanged glances with each other, and some even secretly gave a thumbs up. In the end, it was the God-sent horse who ruled the Southern Song Dynasty and commanded an army of millions!

Kublai Khan gave a thumbs up behind him, all the way to the harem, looked around, it was even more lively, various styles of red lanterns were dotted in every corner, the sound of the musicians playing music in the warm spring pavilion was clearly audible, the harem concubines all came forward with joy to Kublai Khan and Chabi and others to ask for congratulations, and the body was also sprayed with the perfume sent by the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was a strong or light fragrance everywhere.

Kublai Khan was overjoyed, turned back to Cheng Yue and said, "You did a good job, I haven't been so happy in the palace for a long time." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It's just a simple arrangement, and I don't dare to be a compliment from the Great Khan." Great Khan, please go to the Nuanchun Pavilion to rest, and then go to Houzaimun in the evening. ”

Kublai Khan smiled and nodded, and led everyone back to his dormitory.

The dormitory was also newly decorated, and Kublai Khan was very satisfied. As soon as he sat down, Kublai Khan couldn't wait to ask: "Cheng Yue, Wanze and them, when will they enter the palace?" "It's Wan Ze who is asking, but in fact, it's Rou Niang and the legendary Mrs. Gu who are thinking about it.

Cheng Yue didn't know what Kublai Khan had in mind, and replied honestly: "Wan Ze will bring the minister's concubine into the palace after lunch, and the minister has already asked Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen to clean up the residence of Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen in the palace for the minister's concubine to live in temporarily." ”

Kublai Khan was very happy when he heard this, and said, "Is the Houzai Gate also ready?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Yes, the minister has ordered the hundred officials to enter the palace before sunset, and go directly to the thick gate to wait for the drive, and if he is late, he will not be beaten, so he will be punished for sitting outside to eat and drink bars." ”

Kublai Khan laughed, gave a thumbs up and said, "Good way!" But with you preparing the dishes yourself, I don't think anyone will be late. ”

Talahai suddenly asked: "Cheng Yue, I remember that you roasted meat in Alima, and the Great Khan and the ministers have never forgotten it, can you eat it tonight?" ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The Good Pope learned that tonight's main dish is the minister's special barbecue. The ministers killed a thousand sheep for this, not only the Great Khan and the ministers could enjoy it, but all the guards, chamberlains, and palace maids on duty at night could be shared, which was also the meaning of the whole world to celebrate. ”

Talahai clapped his hands with joy, and Bo Yao Wuzhen was about to salivate. She has heard Talahai and others say many times that the barbecue made by Cheng Yue is so delicious that it once caused the ministers to rob wildly, and even Kublai Khan didn't eat enough. And Cheng Yue is not an ordinary minister, Kublai Khan did not dare to order him to send his barbecue to the palace to enjoy, Bo Yao Wuzhen has always wanted to taste the taste of this barbecue, and today he can finally get his wish.

At this time, Cheng Yue clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "Carry it in!" ”

Outside, the voice of the waiter agreed: "Yes, Lord Wang!" ”

Kublai Khan was stunned, and Nanbi asked curiously, "What did you bring in?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly, did not answer Nan Bi's question, and only looked at the door. Soon, the chamberlain outside the door moved in eight boxes and placed them in front of Kublai Khan and the empresses, the boxes were large but looked very light.

Without waiting for Kublai Khan's orders, the attendants immediately opened all the boxes.

When everyone looked at it, there were stacks of red envelopes neatly placed inside, and there were almost 10,000 boxes of eight! Each red envelope is very delicate, with the family emblem of the Tuolei family and a large "He" character printed on it, surrounded by a traditional Mongolian galloping horse pattern, and this year also happens to be the Year of the Horse!

During the Yuan and Song dynasties, there was no custom of giving red envelopes, and if parents gave their children New Year's money, they were all dressed with red ropes, and generally only two or three cents, at most about ten cents, to ask for good luck. But Cheng Yue's dragon money has no holes on it, so it can't be used on strings, Cheng Yue took the lead in giving red envelopes to his generals and wives and concubines, so a new custom of giving red envelopes has appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that it will be popular this year, but Dayuan has not yet had this habit and has never seen it.

Everyone exclaimed, Kublai Khan was overjoyed, pointed to the red envelope and said, "What is this?" It looks so good! ”

Cheng Yue walked in front of Kublai Khan, took out a red envelope from Kublai Khan's box, sent it to Kublai Khan, and said with a smile: "This is a red envelope prepared by the ministers for the Great Khan, which is filled with dragon money, which is sent by the Great Khan to the ministers to take auspicious meanings and ask for a good fortune for the New Year." In the box of the Great Khan, each red package is nine taels of dragon bills, the queen's is eight taels, the queen of Nanbi is seven taels, and so on, until the princess is not ignored, it is one or two dragon bills. There are 1,000 red envelopes in each box, which can be given separately or mixed together by the people below to draw, and how much you get depends on luck. If the Great Khan is happy, he can also sprinkle it on the cloud pavilion as some reward for the people in the palace. Of course, the 45,000 taels of dragon banknotes required were all paid by the ministers, which was another dowry prepared by the ministers for the Great Khan. ”

Kublai Khan was overjoyed to hear this, and the queens and concubines were also excited.

Forty-five thousand taels of dragon bills! It is enough to pay taxes for half a year in most of the capital, and Cheng Yue said that he would take it out! Another windfall!

For the Chinese New Year, who doesn't want to let their ministers and subordinates say a few more good words about themselves? But how can you say that you don't have money? This is good, the money is all paid by Cheng Yue, they only need to be responsible for throwing money, and they can get all the flattery, without losing decency, Cheng Yue's hand is really beautiful!
