Chapter 246: The King's Parade
A loud horn sounded from the street outside, and Boro walked to the window and looked outside. The King's procession was not seen passing by, but numerous inhabitants had come to both sides of the road, waiting respectfully.
"Boro!" Xiaolan walked into the room and took Boro's hand, "go down." ”
"Why? Isn't it better to see from above?"
"That's the king, you stand on the third floor and look down, do you want him to look up at you? Lan glared at Boro, "This is a conviction." ”
"Is it because he is the king that all people should look up to him?" said Boro, who became stubborn at this time, "I will look down on him here!"
"Little brat, why do you always like to find trouble?" Xiao Lan couldn't care so much, and took a step forward and looked directly into Boro's eyes.
"What?" said Boro, who felt a faint sense of foreboding.
"Come with me!" Xiao Lan grabbed his ears and pulled him and began to walk outside.
Walking to the first floor, many people in the store saw this scene and hid behind and snickered.
"I said~" Peony approached the two of them, "What kind of trouble are you two?"
"This fool was trying to get himself in trouble again. Only then did Xiaolan notice the eyes of the group of people around her looking at her, especially He, who seemed to be a little envious of herself.
Peony looked at Boro, "That's really time to fix it." ”
"Can you please stop pulling my ears all the time?" Although Xiaolan didn't use much force, it was strange that she seemed to lose her ability to resist after being grabbed by her ear.
"Okay, then it's troublesome for this guest to follow the rules, otherwise ......" Peony smiled kindly.
"Okay, okay, I'll follow the rules next time. "Boro is really afraid of her" How can she be the same woman, Qingxi is not like you at all. ”
Peony looked at Xiaolan and looked back at Boro randomly, "You are also a man, but why are you not at all like Master Xue Ren?"
"His Majesty is here!" shouted someone on the street outside the store, and everyone was transferred.
The trumpet that Boro had heard at first sounded again, and a group of men dressed in red and carrying lanterns left the end of the street.
"Go out and have a look?" Xiaolan asked from the side
"I'm not going, it's the same every year. This year will be no exception. Peony waved his hand and walked back to the third floor, "I'm going back to make up for a beauty sleep, and remember to help me get a spring gift when the time comes." ”
"I'm not asking you. Xiaolan glanced at Peony and walked to Boro's side, "Do you want to go?"
"Look, I'd like to see what the annual King's Parade is all about."
The street in front of the Peony Pavilion was already crowded with people, and Boro only now noticed that there were two rows of fully armed soldiers in front of the crowd, apparently they were specially responsible for keeping the procession safe.
"Look there!" Ran pointed to a tall platform in the distance that slowly emerged from the corner of the street.
Colorful flames burned beneath the golden pattern, and the king sat on it in a festive dress.
A pair of eyes could not see the deterrent effect, but became extremely gentle at this moment.
The red lantern team walked to the Peony Pavilion and did not stop until the high platform reached the main entrance of the Peony Pavilion.
"Your Majesty Hongfu!" all the citizens shouted, kneeling down.
Xiaolan was grabbed by Boro's arm and prevented her from kneeling before the king.
The two of them were the only ones standing on the entire street, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The king looked at them, his eyes resting on Boro's body, "You don't have to make this great salute, I am here today with the Parade Staff. In order to send New Year blessings to everyone. ”
"It's all thanks to your hard work this year, so that the huge gears of our capital can continue to turn. ”
The king raised his hand, and Nara stood up and set off a firework in his hand into the sky.
"Next year, I'll leave it to you!"
More than a dozen wagons drove from the rear, guarded by hundreds of elite soldiers.
"This is a New Year's gift from His Majesty the King! ”
"Capital, it's time for this giant cog to stop time for a while. The king stood up and shouted to the citizens in the high platform: "All the city rejoice!
"Your Majesty is blessed!" shouted the inhabitants of the streets again, but what they were looking forward to was not the three-day holiday, but the spring gifts that the king was about to distribute to them.
Flames erupted from the high platform, and Boro and the king looked at each other. The king smiled at him and sat back on the platform.
The red lantern team started moving again, and the platform moved with it.
Nara followed on foot with a group of nobles, walking in the direction of Tojo.
The carriage procession did not leave, "Unload!"
The general in charge of guarding the Spring Rite shouted, and half of the hundreds of soldiers began to move, walked to the carriage, and took out large boxes from it. There are also some wrapped in cloth, I don't know what they are.
"But everyone who lives in the North City can receive a spring gift! I hope everyone can be realized! Only one per person!"
"Spring Rite?" Bourro saw that Xiaolan was not as excited as those residents, "What is it?"
"If my guess is correct, it should be beef, sheep, pork, and spars. "Xiaolan is really not very interested in these things, so she can only give them to the Spring Festival.
"Meat?" Boro's eyes lit up, after all, he had bought this thing once, and it was extremely expensive.
"It's not like you can't eat these things in the Peony Pavilion. Xiao Lan glanced at him
"But that's all about paying. Borosha said matter-of-factly.
"That'...... I would like to ask...... When did you pay?"
"I sold the recipe for the broth to Sister Peony, and I haven't gotten a penny for 150,000 yuan. ”
"Do you think 150,000 is enough?"
"What?"
"It's nothing, let's go and get the spring ceremony. Xiaolan looked at the group of people on the street, "Alas, they can rest for three days, but we still have to work." ”
"Why, don't you rest?" Bourro looked at her, "how do I think you have the longest rest, you never have to work during the day, you only have to work six hours at night." ”
"But I'm so tired," Xiaolan pointed to her face, "Look, I'm only twenty-five, and I'm about to turn into a thirty-year-old face." ”
Boro stared at it for a long time, but he couldn't see any difference: "What about Sister Peony? Is she going to become an old woman in her fifties?"
"I didn't say it, you said it. Lan covered her mouth and looked behind Boro.
"What's wrong with what I'm talking about, it's ...... again" Boro looked behind him, "Sister Peony!"
