I have to say that Hua Yuerong's policy is feasible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the Chinese Valentine's Day, the people of the entire Chang'an City already knew about the eyebrow pencil of Xifangzhai, and they were proud to get an eyebrow pencil of Xifangzhai.
On weekdays, if those powerful ladies get together, they talk about most of the eyebrows of Xi Fangzhai, if they know who hasn't, they will definitely be made fun of, and even think that being with her is a loss of identity.
And those who don't have eyebrow pencils don't dare to get together with these powerful ladies casually before they get them.
Everyone knows the eyebrow pencil of Xi Fang Zhai, and Xi Fang Zhai naturally made a lot of money from it.
In the blink of an eye, Tanabata has finally arrived.
Qixi Festival is a very important festival in ancient times, and it has become a begging festival, there are actually many activities on this day, but most of them are related to women.
There is a group of playmates who go to the temple to pray for incense, and there are spiders who are kept at home, because at this time there is a saying in Chang'an, saying that if the spider can weave a round web, it indicates that the woman's future married life will be very happy, although there is not much basis for this statement, but the women of Chang'an City still take it for this.
And these behaviors of the women in Chang'an City undoubtedly brought business opportunities to some people, and some hawkers took advantage of this opportunity to peddle spiders that could weave round webs on the street, and the women of Chang'an City actually believed it and bid to buy it.
In addition, there are also people who put river lanterns at night to make wishes.
Of course, these are the activities that folk women often play, and in the palace, the activities of the Qixi Festival are more interesting and competitive, on this night, the ladies in the palace want to play a game, called threading the needle, who completes the game first, it shows that the woman is very virtuous, can be praised by the emperor.
This activity has been around for a long time, so the female dependents who follow the powerful into the palace are more or less clear, and this has become an opportunity for them to perform after entering the palace, both for themselves and for their husbands.
When the sun was setting, the sky was getting late, and the wind was blowing with a hint of coolness, Tang Zhou took Lin Qingsu to the palace gate, at this time the palace had not yet opened, there were many carriages parked at the door, and some powerful officials and eunuchs stood outside the carriage chatting in twos and threes, and in the carriage sat the female dependents they brought.
As soon as Tang Zhou's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Cheng Chumo immediately rushed over, ignoring Lin Qingsu in the carriage, and suddenly lifted the curtain and pulled Tang Zhou out.
"Brother Tang, have you heard, the emperor has set up several game projects tonight, and those who win will be rewarded."
Tang Zhou smiled, he really hadn't heard of this, although the Qixi Night Banquet was good, but he just had the right to join in the fun, he was not like Cheng Chumo, who had nothing to do, and was interested in some palace secrets or something.
But even so, Tang Zhou didn't want to attack Cheng Chumo, so he casually asked: "Oh, what kind of games are they, and what are the rewards?" ”
Cheng Chumo thought that Tang Zhou was also interested, so he hurriedly said: "The first is naturally to compose poetry, although I said that the Tang Dynasty is a martial arts country, but it is still very open in this regard, the first poem, I heard that the reward after winning is a dagger, a dagger with broken hair." ”
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly, thinking that a person with a background like Cheng Chumo, if he wanted a dagger with broken hair, he only needed to give one command, why should he be interested in the emperor's reward?
Tang Zhou sighed, and then motioned for Cheng Chumo to continue.
"The second is the riddle, as for how to guess I don't know, and the reward for the riddle is a jade hosta, I heard that this hosta is very beautiful, and it is worth a lot of money."
When Cheng Chumo said this, his expression was somewhat lonely, thinking that he liked the hosta very much, but he also knew that he was not good at guessing riddles, so naturally he had no chance to get the hosta.
And Tang Zhou saw that Cheng Chumo was like this, and he understood a little more, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to do with this, don't you have a good relationship, and you want to give it to you?" ”
The location of the two was not far from the carriage brought by Cheng Chumo, Tang Zhou knew that Cheng Chumo's wife Chai Mi was sitting inside, thinking that Cheng Chumo had said that about himself in his house before, he also suddenly wanted to disgust Cheng Chumo.
And although Tang Zhou hadn't heard that Cheng Chumo was afraid of his wife, after he said this, Cheng Chumo's expression still showed a trace of nervousness, and the curtain of the carriage not far away also slightly revealed a corner.
"Brother Tang be quiet, what to send, I'm not like you, raising a foreign house."
Cheng Chumo didn't know whether he was really smart or fake smart, when he was talking about raising a foreign house, the voice suddenly became very loud, and the location of the two of them was not far from the carriage where Lin Qingsu was sitting, and this voice was just able to reach Lin Qingsu.
Tang Zhou was suddenly a little speechless, and secretly thought that Cheng Chumo was ruthless enough, and he didn't want to suffer at all.
"What kind of outhouse, okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense with you."
Tang Zhou really didn't dare to joke with Cheng Chu like this, otherwise at the gate of this palace, he would really make a joke.
Cheng Chumo was a little proud, and then returned to his seriousness, and said: "That's the case, my wife is pregnant, it may be a son, I just want to win the hosta back and give it to her, alas, it's a pity that this reward is a riddle, do you say it's annoying?" ”
Tang Zhou never imagined that a person like Cheng Chumo would have such careful thoughts, thinking that although Cheng Chumo spent a lot of time outside, it should be good for his wife.
Thinking like this, Tang Zhou smiled: "With the status and value of your Cheng family, what kind of jade hosta do you want, why do you have to ask for the one tonight." ”
"It's different, it's different, buying it can only show that my Cheng family is rich, but if it wins, it means that I have the ability to do it, right?"
Tang Zhou was a little speechless, in fact, in his opinion, there is no difference between these, as long as he is sincere, what is the difference between buying and winning?
However, Tang Zhou did not continue this topic, and after smiling indifferently, he said: "This poem and guessing riddle are all things played by literati, and the saint will soon win the world, it should not be heavy on literature and light on martial arts, there must be games in the back, right?" ”
Cheng Chumo nodded: "What Brother Tang said is true, the remaining two game items are related to martial arts, but they are a little different, in my opinion, they are also literary, so boring." ”
Tang Zhou smiled lightly and said, "Oh, what kind of literary crepe method, I have never heard of literary crepe in martial arts competition." ”
"I heard that there is a competition in the art of war, an old general will say a kind of battle situation he has encountered, and then let people provide their own opinions, how to send troops, and how to resist the enemy, etc., you see, martial arts are martial arts, but what kind of art of war, this is not a crepe, I think it is simply a paper talk."
Cheng Chumo snorted angrily, and Tang Zhou shrugged helplessly, he felt that this gameplay was very novel, but it was indeed crepe, and it was suspected of talking on paper.
And just as Tang Zhou was about to ask again, the palace gate suddenly opened.
