Chapter 68: The Feast of the Flower Mansion (1)

The next morning, Chang'an City was filled with some unusual atmosphere, full of hurried eunuchs and guards, who were busy procuring all kinds of goods, going in and out of the main workshop.

The wharf outside the Chunming Gate of Chang'an is also full of colorful boats, loaded with seasonal vegetables and fruits and delicacies from all over the world, loaded on a carriage, and driving towards the Wubenfang in Chang'an City.

The major dance halls and music workshops have also closed their doors, and they have all received invitations from Taichang Temple, asking them to organize their famous dancing girls to go to Wubenfang at dawn, and at the same time, dozens of famous liquor stores have also closed down, and hundreds of chefs have been invited to Wubenfang.

All the focus is on the Wubenfang, as soon as the morning dawns, the Wubenfang firecrackers are ringing, the drums are noisy, and a team of eunuchs and guards are distributing cakes and sweets from door to door in the workshop.

"Today is the birthday of the third lady, and I am happy with everyone."

This mysterious third lady suddenly became the focus of discussion on the streets and alleys of Chang'an, some people said that she was the new concubine of Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in Chang'an, but was immediately refuted, Wang Yuanbao's new concubine had a birthday, how could there be palace guards and eunuchs to help.

As the insider revealed, the true identity of the third lady gradually surfaced, she is the third sister of the concubine Niangniang, the name Huahua, today the saint specially for her birthday, by the saint personally to hold the birthday, this is the first time since Tianbao, it is said that the invitation was sent out 2,000 sheets, the third lady does not seem to have a view of the door, more than seven court officials, princes and grandchildren, major famous families, various high-ranking officials and the wealthy of Chang'an, are all within the scope of the invitation.

For this reason, the palace sent 500 eunuchs and 1,000 guards to be busy for this birthday, from dawn, the street in front of Yang Huahua's mansion was closed to traffic, and the entire street became a place to park and park horses.

As early as two days ago, the shops in Chang'an East City were doing brisk business, and all the major mansions were buying high-quality silk and precious incense powder jewelry, just to participate in this rare celebrity gathering.

But the most spectacular thing is the gift-giving procession, although the invitation card says that the birthday gift will be given, but there are still many dignitaries who want to please the third lady still rush to give gifts on the birthday day.

Yang Huahua smiled happily, specially opened the side door to accept the gift, for a while, the gift team went out two miles long, all kinds of treasures and antiques, celebrity calligraphy and painting, all kinds of silk and satin, gold and silver treasures, large boxes and small cages, piled up like a hill.

For a whole morning, Yang Huahua spent all kinds of birthday gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of expensive gifts piled up, Yang Huahua picked up this, and couldn't let go of that, for a while her heart was full of joy.

She used to be poor, her husband died early, dragged a son, said that the son was very embarrassed, the desire for money has always been her biggest dream, now, the dream has become a reality, the birthday gift received today is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and the follow-up birthday gift will be sent at least more than 100,000 yuan, her twenty-nine-year-old life will completely change her life.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! I got rich. The room was filled with the sound of Yang Huahua laughing.

She picked up a brocade bag with a tag stuck on it, 'Anzai Nakaro will congratulate Li Qing'an.' ’

"What will this guy give?" She opened the package with a self-muttering statement, and in the package was a set of four treasures of the study, although the texture was high, but it still made Yang Huahua laugh, this guy, how could he send it so strangely, but there was a small box in the four treasures of the study, which filled her heart with curiosity, what could it be?

.........

From noon, there were guests with the surname anxious to come, and spent an afternoon boringly in Yang Huahua's mansion, until the afternoon approached the evening, and gradually arrived at the ** of the guests, and the carriages came from all directions of Chang'an, and stopped on both sides of the road in an orderly manner under the guidance of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.

Most of the guests are bringing their wives and daughters to come, the men are dressed in the same way, dressed in regular clothes, wearing gauze hats, but the women are light and light, although it is a cold winter, but most of the ladies are wearing open-breasted long skirts, with half arms and short undergarments, just a fur on the outside, they are equipped with rings with emeralds, all of them are delicate and moist, the pink light is greasy, looking from afar, the front of Yanghuahua Mansion is a floating green Liudan, dazzling.

Li Qing'an came at the moment when there were the most people, although Yang Huahua repeatedly told him when he sent him an invitation, he didn't need to prepare any birthday gifts, but it was normal for people to give gifts for birthdays, and he didn't want to go empty-handed, so he went to the West Market at noon to buy a few gifts, which were nothing more than the four treasures of the best study, and let the shopkeeper take his own post and send it to Yang Huahua along with the birthday gift.

"Brother Li, General Li!"

When Li Qingan was about to arrive in front of Yang Huahua's mansion, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, he looked back, it turned out that Yang Zhao was coming, he was still limping, but his spirit was much better, it is estimated that he got his wife's understanding last night.

"Brother Yang, why are you here now?" Li Qingan stepped forward and smiled.

"I'm here early, I'm here to wait for you."

"Oh? Is there anything important about Brother Yang? ”

"You come with me!"

Yang Zhao pulled Li Qingan to a corner and said in a low voice, "When will you return those sisters to me?" ”

Yang Zhao thought about it all night, and he hadn't had a chance to taste the pair of sisters yet! was taken away by Li Qing'an.

The more Yang Zhao thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he tried his best to restrain himself, waiting for Li Qing'an's reply.

Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't Brother Yang say it earlier, I thought you didn't want them." ”

"What, what's wrong?" Yang Zhao's heart suddenly sank.

Li Qingan was annoyed: "I don't have a place to place them, so I gave them one hundred taels of silver each, and I sent someone to send them back to their hometown in Youzhou overnight last night." ”

"What!"

Yang Zhao was suddenly furious, he grabbed Li Qing'an's neck and said, "You bastard!" How dare you send them away, and you chase them back for me. ”

Li Qingan pushed Yang Zhao's hand away, and said with a faint smile: "It's just two women, is Brother Yang turning against his younger brother for them?" ”

"Bastard! What are you, can you compare to my two beauties? ”

Yang Zhao was so angry that he almost lost his mind, and he roared regardless of his dignity, "You go!" Chase them back for me, or I want you to look good!" ”

"Alright! I'll send someone to chase it, I don't know if I can catch it back, Yang County Commander asks for more blessings! ”

After speaking, Li Qingan pushed him away and walked towards Yang Huahua's mansion.

"Li Qingan, if you don't return them to me, I'm not done with you!" Yang Zhao jumped behind him and shouted.

.........

Yang Shilang of the household department congratulated the third lady on his birthday, and congratulated Bai Yugui on a pair. ”

.....

"Hussar general, Fan Yang Festival made An Dashuai congratulate the third lady on his birthday, with a gift of five thousand taels of gold and three hundred pearls."

In front of the house, the master of ceremonies sang a roll call, Yang Huahua was a widow, and there was no man in the family, so the brothers-in-law Yang Cheng and Yang Qi stood at the door to receive the guests, in addition, Yang Huahua's eldest sister and second sister also stood at the inner door to receive female guests.

"Five thousand taels of gold!" There was an exclamation at the door, Yang Xuan and Yang Qi greeted him together, and said to An Lushan: "An Dashuai is here in person, we are ashamed to be far away!" Ashamed! ”

The snobbery of the two attracted a look of contempt again, and An Lushan laughed and said: "It's just a little heart, not enough to worry about." ”

An Lushan has staked his future on the Yang family, he knows that promotion and wealth do not have to be much merit, see the opportunity, please the saint sometimes more useful, this time the saint personally gave Yang Huahua a birthday, which means that the saint is the protagonist of this birthday banquet, at this time he does not spend blood, when will he wait?

An Lushan introduced a general in military uniform behind him to Er Yang and said: "This is my general, Shi Siming, the Pinglu soldier and horse envoy, also came to congratulate the third lady on her birthday." ”

Shi Siming is about forty years old, he is also a famous Hu people, formerly known as Gan, he looks strong, brave and good at fighting, especially good at bows and arrows, Tianbao in the early years he went to Beijing to offer prisoners, in front of Li Longji showed a hundred steps through the superb archery skills, deeply appreciated by Li Longji, called him the world's first arrow, given the name Shi Siming.

Shi Siming has been friends with An Lushan since he was a child, won his trust, and became An Lushan's right-hand man together with Cai Xide.

He only escorted 300 Khitans into Beijing yesterday to offer prisoners, just in time for Yang Huahua's birthday, Yang Quan and Yang Qi were rude, and they didn't know who Shi Siming was, so they only arched their hands and expressed their welcome, Shi Siming nodded slightly.

"Yang Yuanjun, I don't know who is the most gift-giver this time?" An Lushan asked in a low voice.

Yang Qi whispered in An Lushan's ear: "So far, An Dashuai has the most, but there is news that King Qing has also prepared a generous gift." ”

"King Qing?" An Lushan was stunned, what does King Qing want to do with the Yang family?

"Dashuai, King Qing is here!"

I saw a gorgeous carriage inlaid with gold and silver coming slowly, and Yang Cheng and Yang Qi greeted him together, "Your Highness is coming, and you will not be welcomed." ”

An Lushan did not enter the mansion, and watched the arrival of King Qing's carriage on the side.

The obese Qingwang Li Cong was helped down, he is the eldest son of Li Longji, the status is respected, it stands to reason that after the second Li Ying was deposed in the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he should inherit the position of the crown prince by him, and many important ministers supported him to inherit the position of the East Palace, but in the end, it was the third Li Hengqi soldiers who killed and took away the position of the prince.

Li Cong was discouraged, he has been indulging in wine all these years, and even Li Longji has a little bit of a complaint about him, but since the outbreak of the Wei Jian case and the Du Youlin case, Li Cong suddenly found that Li Heng's position as the crown prince was actually unstable, and he had a little hope in his heart, maybe he could finally enter the East Palace, he began to change, he washed away the state of wasted silver, no longer indulged in wine, became kind and charitable, Corporal Lixian, and also made friends with a group of important ministers in the court, and even Zhang Yun, the secretary of the household department, secretly supported him, This is the only important minister who can compete with Li Linfu.

Today, Yang Huahua celebrates her birthday, in Li Cong's view, this is naturally an opportunity to please his father, he has long been rumored and will give a heavy gift to celebrate.

Li Cong smiled slightly: "Hehe! The third lady celebrated her birthday, how dare Li Cong not come, and gave a thin gift. ”

The master of ceremonies took the gift list and sang loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qing came down to congratulate, the congratulatory gift is 10,000 acres of land, three farms, and 500 slaves." ”
