Early in the morning of the 29th of the lunar month, Zhang Wei was woken up and wanted to make a big offering to his parents today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough there is no way to go to the grave, it is still necessary to make a big offering. All the items have been prepared, and Zhang Weilai is just incense and kowtow. According to Zhang Wei's words, sacrifice is an important symbol of filial piety, and it is also the virtue of respecting the elderly.
On the 30th of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, all the palace ladies gathered in the restaurant with Zhang Wei to make dumplings together, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, observe the New Year together, and set off firecrackers together. Zheng Daoyou and others did not have a family, and originally wanted the palace to accompany Zhang Wei for the New Year, but Zhang Wei refused them and asked them to accompany those people in their department who did not have a family to celebrate the New Year, or go to the troops left behind to have a look, or go to various departments to check posts and condolences.
At first, the palace maids couldn't let go, but under Zhang Wei's strong request, Zong Zhenglan and Du Jingyi took the lead, and everyone slowly let go.
The kitchen has prepared the dumpling filling, and the palace maids just mix the noodles and knead them, and then they can wrap the dumplings.
Excluding the palace maids who went home, there were 50 people in the palace, including Chief Fan and other palace administrators, as well as Long Tian and others, a total of more than 80 people, and 8 tables of banquets were arranged.
Zhang Wei ordered: "Wine!" “
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The wine is a good wine produced in Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty, and the wine of this era is all grain wine, so you can drink it with confidence. Small porcelain wine glasses are used, each weighing about 3 yuan. At first, everyone didn't drink.
Zhang Wei had no choice but to pick up his wine glass and speak: "Today is the Chinese New Year, no matter how big you are, I won't blame you if you are drunk." I took the lead in drinking this first cup. “
It was Zong Zhenglan and Du Jingyi who took the lead in drinking, and everyone slowly drank the first glass of wine This is the emperor's toast, and they can't help but drink it, besides, the emperor's toast is a very honorable thing.
Zhang Wei was very satisfied with the performance of the two, so he said: "Zong Zhenglan and Du Jingyi performed well, in order to show praise for the two of you, I have decided, when you go home this time, you can choose a family member with excellent appearance and virtue from your family, or your little lover, and bring it to me to see, I will make corresponding arrangements according to his actual situation after inspection." “
The faces of the two immediately turned red with shame, and they hurriedly got up and saluted Zhang Wei, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" “
Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, if you just get up and thank you and salute, then how can we drink!" “
Everyone looked at the two people enviously, in fact, this is also one of the purposes for them to enter the palace, to have a good relationship with the emperor or ministers, to help the family develop and grow, is the idea that each of them is very eager in their hearts, but I didn't expect that it was such a small thing as drinking, so that the two of them took the lead, and they must perform well in front of the emperor in the future, and strive to get similar rewards from the emperor.
In the following process, drinking is relatively smooth.
After everyone had a drink, the scene immediately became lively.
Zhang Wei thought to himself, these people will either stay in the palace in the future, or they will marry high-ranking officials of the empire, if they have a little lover, they will not be good at beating mandarin ducks, so he asked everyone: "Everyone has to be honest with me, do you have a favorite man?" If there is, I will be the master for you, give you a marriage, if he can't meet your family's requirements for the time being, as long as you have the ability, when the time comes, bring me to inspect and inspect for you, if I am satisfied, I will help them achieve a career, there is only one chance to achieve your good wishes, whoever has a sweetheart should stand up, don't be shy! If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such good thing in the future. “
This is a great temptation, they are shy, and they don't want to miss this opportunity, in the end, there are 3 palace maids who stand up shyly, they are all over 20 years old.
"Anything else? Take advantage of my happiness this time, don't be shy, there will be no such opportunity in the future, and you will regret it if you miss it. Zhang Wei looked at everyone's faces and felt that no one stood up anymore, so he asked: "Why did you still apply for the position of palace maid when you have a sweetheart?" You're old enough to get married, so why don't you get married? “
The three of them explained separately that they were all interested in their classmates, but their families disagreed.
Zhang Wei allowed them to bring their sweethearts when they went home to visit their relatives this time, and gave them staff officers.
At the dinner, Zhang Wei announced to the palace maids that their work in the future will no longer be called palace maids, but the first batch of female soldiers in the empire, otherwise they will not be allowed to wear military uniforms, and the empire will recruit more women to join the army in the future, such as communications, translators, clerks, doctors, nurses, bands, propaganda and many other jobs can recruit female soldiers. In addition, at least 200 women will be selected for military service every year, with at least 100 from high school graduates and at least 100 from university graduates.
When the food is not right, Zhang Wei asked everyone to perform a show, celebrating the beginning of the New Year, everyone can't let go, singing and so on as a lowly profession, ordinary people will not perform in the public Zhang Wei sang a folk song in the previous life Alishan girl to drive the atmosphere, the women are versatile, respectively performed Henan Opera, Lu Opera, Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera and other programs, but after they sang, Zhang Wei didn't understand what it meant, so he had to coax and applaud blindly, However, the atmosphere immediately became lively, and the little girl with a heart also wrote down the girl in Alishan sung by Zhang Wei, and prepared to learn to sing by herself in private. Zhang Wei decided to promote radio and radio throughout the country next year, and then the Spring Festival Gala could be held.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been eaten at 11 o'clock, and the kitchen has dumplings, first to sacrifice to parents, and then by Chief Fan to worship the gods and spirits at 12 o'clock, in front of the Shenwu Hall began to set off firecrackers.
After finishing these, Zhang Wei distributed New Year's money to everyone in the palace, packaged in a red cloth bag, and the red envelope contained 1 small gold ingot of ten taels and 1 small silver ingot of ten taels, and even Yu Linwei, who was on duty in the palace, had the same red envelope, but it was distributed by Manager Fan instead of Zhang Wei.
It wasn't until half past 12 that everyone dragged their tired bodies back to rest.
Zhang Wei returned to the bedroom, kicked everyone out, closed the door, and dodged into the system hall, where Xiao Yuer was bored in a daze.
"Your Majesty, Happy New Year!"
"Xiao Yu'er, Happy New Year!"
"Your Majesty is having fun, but you are happy?"
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "It's okay, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, I've been busy fighting wars for the past year, and it's hard to take advantage of the New Year to relax." “
"Your Majesty, hurry up and upgrade the system to the imperial level, seeing that you guys are so happy, I want to go out and play too, I'm almost suffocated here."
"Soon, I plan to occupy Australia as soon as possible, and we can upgrade to the imperial level, let's wait a few more months!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"
"Xiao Yu'er, can we get married after reaching the imperial level?"
Xiao Yu'er said shyly: "Yes, Your Majesty, but now I am a few years older than you, don't you mind?" “
Zhang Wei went up and grabbed Xiao Yu'er's hand and said, "Our little Yu'er is eternally young, how can I mind?" ”
After chatting with Xiao Yu'er for a while, Zhang Wei went out of the system and prepared to rest, and he had to participate in the pilgrimage of 10,000 people tomorrow morning, but he couldn't go to participate with panda eyes, and it would be bad for the people of the empire to laugh at him.
According to Zheng Daoyou's plan, the 10,000-person pilgrimage was originally placed at 6 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wei thought it was too early, every family needed to celebrate the New Year, get up late in the morning, and after getting up, they had to pay New Year's greetings to the elders first, and finally, the time was set at 10 o'clock in the morning and held in the National Square. To be continued.
