Chapter 212

In the blink of an eye, June 24 is here.

All the people in the Zhu Mansion got up early and packed up, because today is the birthday of the martial saint, and now Zhu Xun is Jing Zhaoyin, who is in charge of the defense and local affairs of the capital.

According to the practice of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, today is the day to worship the martial saint, so the whole family should get up early, set up an altar and set up incense, worship the martial saint, and bless the safety of the party.

Of course, all military attachés also have to worship in their palaces, and the family sacrifices are small-scale, and the official places of worship are in the yamen of each military attaché.

On this day, the royal family will also hold a worship ceremony in the Guandi Temple that was built, and the emperor himself wrote a prayer and sent it to the temple to be burned to comfort the martial saint.

Wusheng birthday, not only the royal priests worship, the folk also have a lot of large-scale sacrificial activities, Guandi Temple is the most lively on this day, many small traders gather in front of the mountain gate of Guandi Temple, forming a large and small temple fair.

This day is not only the birthday of the martial saint, but also the legal elephant washing festival in Daxia, because the elephant represents auspiciousness, and the same day as the birthday of the martial saint, it is also the meaning of the country and the people.

Inside the Qiangang Palace

Zhou Liang was holding a bright yellow tray of prayer and prayer texts, waiting for the silk texts written by Emperor Yude himself.

Finally, at the auspicious time, Emperor Yude stamped the Dabao red seal, put the Lord's Prayer on the table, and presented it in a tray. Zhou Liang hurriedly passed out of the main hall, handed it over to Yu Linwei, and hurried to the largest royal temple in the capital.

Emperor Yude put down his pen and looked at all the ritual utensils on the table was very pleased, as early as before Jinhua left the palace, he had already explained to the Ministry of Rites, prepared today's ritual utensils, and instructed Qin Tianjian to calculate today's auspicious time.

Emperor Yude stepped down from the dragon bookcase, paced a few steps in the hall, turned his head to look at the small bookcase on the other side, stepped forward a few steps, and gently stroked the bookcase.

Emperor Yude stroked his beard thoughtfully and sighed.

And at this moment, just in time for Zhou Liang to come back, Mr. Zhou hurriedly asked about the acquaintance.

"Your Majesty, isn't it unacceptable to the heat? Why do you sigh? ”

It's okay not to ask, but after asking, Emperor Yude let out a long sigh and stroked the paperweight on the small bookcase.

After touching it, I found that there were a few small words engraved on the originally plain ink jade paperweight, and Emperor Yude picked it up and looked at it.

The paperweight is lightly engraved with "Xing'er Practice", and on the other hand, the back is full of traces of carving, and then look closely, but it turns out that the carved side is the front.

Emperor Yude couldn't help laughing, presumably this was when he first taught Jinhua seal carving, she carved it, this small action revealed the cuteness of his daughter's family.

Emperor Yude held the black jade paperweight in the palm of his hand, paced back his dragon book case, and put the paperweight in his paperweight box, chatting with relief.

Zhou Liang hurriedly took it and helped Emperor Yude put it away, and when he placed it, he also saw the small words on it.

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

"Just look at things and think about people......"

Zhou Liang didn't say anything more, and quickly put away the paperweight.

"This moment, this girl has been away from the palace for more than half a month, in the past, by my side, there were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively, but now this Qiangang Hall is lifeless......"

Emperor Yude shook his head, buried his head in the compromises, and continued to work.

"Didn't the emperor forbid her to leave Zhili, it was better to summon her into the palace and chat and talk." Zhou Liang whispered.

"That's it, she has been lost with her family for more than ten years, so don't be embarrassed for her, now she is no longer a little girl, after two years of marriage, how many times do your parents have to meet? Let's let her reunite with her family with peace of mind. ”

Emperor Yude's feelings for Jinhua are far better than those of monarchs and ministers, more like father and daughter, so when Jinhua left the palace, Emperor Yude was stunned, like taking away a piece of meat from his heart.

Zhou Liang, the chief supervisor of the inner chamberlain, almost witnessed Jinhua's days and nights by Emperor Yude's side in the past few years, and naturally understood that Emperor Yude loved Jinhua very much.

The next day, Zhou Liang ordered someone to go to Zhu Xun's mansion and told Jinhua about the Moyu paperweight. But that's for later.

After Jinhua and his two younger brothers participated in the family sacrifice, after breakfast, they left home with a kind of family and fan, and went to the agreed restaurant to meet Jing Jin.

On the Elephant Washing Festival, a very large number of people gather on both sides of the canal in the south moat every year, and the Elephant Workshop will also send the best elephant trainers to have fun with the people.

Zhu's carriage walked forward, and Jinhua lifted the curtain to look at the street. This street seemed familiar, and Jinhua instructed Fan'er to stop the driver.

Jinhua got out of the carriage and looked around.

"Isn't this a porcelain mouth?" Jinhua asked.

The coachman hurried up to the front and replied.

"It's the porcelain mouth antique street, Miss wants to go shopping?"

"Sister, why did you stop here?" Changyuan also picked it out of the car.

"Tell Changrong to come down too, this is a porcelain mouth antique street, you guys also go shopping, I'll go see an old man."

Jinhua said that he was going to take the fan away, Changrong Changyuan was afraid of being separated from his sister, so he simply took someone to follow.

After several inquiries, Jinhua finally came to the door of "Yuegu Zhai" again, and Jinhua walked in with a matter.

When the guy in the store saw the customer enter the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"The young lady is here, and the flowers are shining! You can look at it as much as you want. ”

Jinhua has taken a turn, I haven't seen it for a few years, and now Yueguzhai is already a big deal, and now the store is full of some quality goods.

"Straight mail to these?" Jinhua is not in a hurry.

Changrong approached her, grabbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Sister, these are worth a lot of money, it's okay." ”

Jinhua looked at his younger brother and smiled, and then looked at the guy.

That guy is used to seeing guests from all walks of life, like these people in front of him, so young, no one in the hall looks down on him, isn't it a big fish? The guy touched his chin and looked at the three young men in front of him carefully.

The guy thought to himself: If it were somewhere else, this is the capital, but there are a lot of hidden people, those who are full of fat, looking rich and full of nouveau riche, may not know good goods, these young people, the tone is not ......small.

"That's it!" The guy punched him in the palm of his hand. "Since the girl doesn't like the mundane things in the hall, then go upstairs with the little one, and there must be a girl who looks at it."

After that, the man led a few people upstairs, and the upstairs was for entertaining dignitaries, and the man brought in, and immediately a handyman brought tea, snacks, and fruits.

Where does Changrong Changyuan understand the doorway of this antique shop, he was startled when he saw the food and drink being served, but he looked at his sister, he was not surprised at all, he just sat down, tasted tea, and sat down and ate tea.

Jinhua picked up the tea bowl, showed that he smelled it, and then put it down again, and the guy saw that she didn't drink it and immediately took a few steps forward and smiled.

When Chang Rongchang arrived, one person ate half a bowl.

"Dare to ask the girl, is this tea fragrant?"

Jinhua gently put down the tea bowl, his face was expressionless, his eyes were looking ahead, and he didn't look at him squarely.

"Tea, it's okay, it's just ......"

"Girl, this is a new tea, isn't it to taste?"

Jinhua chuckled, looked at the tea bowl and then at the buddy.

"I went out in a hurry today, and I only brought a little bit of incense, so let's soak this." After speaking, Jinhua winked at the fan.

Fan Er immediately took out a small enamel tea caddy from his sleeve pocket.

"Sister......" Changrong wanted to say that the tea was okay, but was interrupted by Jinhua waving his hand.

The guy looked at the situation and suddenly felt that something was wrong, it turned out to be a big buyer who knew how to do it, and quickly scolded the handyman for a few words.

"Girl, come to us to read Gu Zhai, it is to see our business, how can you bring your own tea, isn't that a slap in the face."

"It's not that I'm picky, it's just that the boss's tea is the new tea of the last season last year, not the new tea before tomorrow this year, although my own incense tablets taste lighter, but I am also used to it."

When the guy heard this, his palm immediately slapped lightly on his face.

"Girl, I should fight and fight, it's these rough guys who don't know what to see, I personally make a pot for the girl and the son. Wait a minute. ”

"You don't soak it yourself, don't tighten it, it's just that the leaves before the Ming Dynasty are delicate, and when the water is boiled again, don't break out of the lid of the pot." Jinhua smiled calmly.

"Gotcha! The girl is an expert, and the little one is taught! With that, the welcoming man went to make tea.

Chang Rongchang saw that the guy went out and immediately came to Jinhua's side.

"Sister, how do you know that this tea is not this year's new tea?" "Yes, sister, and this boss just made a cup of tea, why are you so cautious?"

Although Changrong Changyuan is raised in Guanlong, most of the time is also blessed with studies, how can you care about these trivial things, and he is too young, and no one has taught him.

"This is the rule of the antique shop, the guests who can go up to the second floor are already considered VIPs, and they are all specially supplied with tea and fruits, especially for large customers." Jinhua explained.

"But sister, it's just a cup of tea......"

"It's these small things that the boss can know what grade of guest you are, if you can't eat the old and new with a cup of tea, then you are at most a nouveau riche, or an upstart in officialdom. It means that you don't know how to do it, and you are not an elegant person. ”

The two brothers looked at each other, and suddenly respected their sister.

"Besides, if you really come to buy and sell, you can't eat a cup of tea, just wait for someone to deceive you." Jinhua smiled and gently tapped the two younger brothers.

"I've seen it for a long time." The two brothers sighed.

Changyuan walked up to Jinhua and dragged the corner of her clothes and shook it, "Sister, these elegant things in the capital still need to be taught to my younger brother and have a lot of knowledge." ”

Jinhua saw that he was coquettish and stretched out his hand to him, "Red envelope!" ”

Changyuan was dumbfounded, and sat back with a sigh of disgust, and Changrong and Fan'er both laughed.

A few people were sitting, and they heard a few people talking and laughing in the backyard, and their voices came from far and near. Jin Hua couldn't help but take a few steps forward and look through the window.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing brocade, a slightly chubby figure, and a two-figure mustache on his face, sending a young man with a white face and very pretentious gestures, probably only seventeen or eighteen.

The middle-aged man who had made a fortune recognized it at a glance as the boss of this Yue Gu Zhai - Wu Caishui, it seems that Boss Wu has had a good business in recent years.

Jin Hua didn't pay much attention to Wu Caishui, but the white young man seemed to be familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he seemed to be very familiar with it.

I saw that in the courtyard, Wu Caishui clenched his fists and smiled.

"Respect, please tell the prince that these batches of goods are still thinking about it and should do their best, please rest assured!"

After that, Wu Caishui took out a brocade bag from his waist again, stuffed it into the young man's hand, and smiled flatteringly.

"I'll keep your share, whether it's successful or not, and please say a lot of kind words."

The young man answered calmly, didn't say much, and walked away.

Jinhua knocked on Lingjue, suddenly! It turned out that the man was ......
