Li Xiuzhu really didn't expect that people would sit at home and reward from heaven.

Just about to have some lunch, Wang Defa came to offer a reward.

Li Xiuzhu, who received the reward, was still a little confused, according to Wang Defa, this old man is a little powerful.

Although he didn't care about any official position, he received this intention.

And the prince, who is really standing on a bridge with his buddies, has to pull himself from time to time.

Li Xiuzhu thought about it, went to the prince's east palace in person, and thanked the princess.

Two days later, on the last day of the old year, that is, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the county mansion, that is, Li Xiuzhu's mansion, everyone stayed in a hall room to play.

There is a small dining table with freshly grilled meat skewers and some dried fruits and special fruits on each seat.

There are basically no fruits in winter, and frozen pears are one of the rare ones.

Apples, oranges, winter dates, not to mention such a few kinds of fruits, among which oranges are sent from Sichuan and Shu.

Li Xiuzhu was wondering if he could build a greenhouse so that he could eat more fruits and vegetables in winter.

And if it is a greenhouse, can it solve the problem of Xiaoice River?

But after thinking about it, Li Xiuzhu still shook his head.

Now if you want to make a greenhouse without plastic, you can only rely on quilts.

But the quilt is not transparent to light, how to do photosynthesis? If there is no incandescent lamp, you can only use firelight, but the light burns the fire?

"What is the husband thinking?"

Li Biyao handed a winter jujube to Li Xiuzhu's mouth and asked curiously.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said jokingly: "I'm thinking about how to toss you at night." ”

Li Biyao's face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at Li Xiuzhu.

"Husband just said nonsense, today is the ...... to keep the New Year" paused, and continued: "Husband is so festive that the festival is coming, and the New Year is coming, what are the verses?" ”

As soon as Li Biyao's words came out, several women on the side looked over one after another, only a few women playing horse hangs and cards not far away were still immersed in their own world and had a lot of fun.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Biyao to mention such a topic.

However, most of his wives are from large families, and there are talented women, so it is normal for them to like poetry.

Li Xiuzhu thought about it in the expectant eyes of several women, and said: "I really thought of a song, but it shouldn't be that good, just listen to it." ”

Suddenly, Shen Youwei's eyes lit up, she had fallen under the poetry of the undisciplined layman.

"Listen to Si Chen on the plum blossom pillow, and wait for the kiss with the gold medal. I like to look at the sideburns of the kind face, and although the hair is sparse, it is not as silver as silver. ”

Straightforward and easy to understand, the sentences are beautiful, and they also rhyme, although they are not eternal sentences, but they are also one of the rare masterpieces.

"The husband is awesome, he deserves to be this year's poet king who does not quit laymen, as soon as this poem comes out, it will definitely be passed on in Beijing."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head, his family knows his own affairs, this poem can only be regarded as good, and he can't stand such praise.

The most critical reason why this poem has been passed on to future generations is because of the character bonus.

"It's not that good, but it's okay."

"By the way, tomorrow is the first day of the New Year, I will go with you and Liuli to meet my father first."

"Are the gifts ready?"

Li Biyao nodded when she heard this, and said: "Things are ready, in the evening, my father and the emperor will have a banquet for hundreds of officials, in addition to the queen, concubines and children will also participate." ”

The banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was held in the evening, and during the day, Li Kuo had to deal with the folds and meet the surrounding envoys.

Although there are not many allies in the Great Zhou, there are several, so it is inevitable to reward the envoys.

At this time, the hundred officials also have to be accompanied.

Although Li Xiuzhu is one of the hundred officials, he is not a hundred officials in the traditional sense, and he only needs to go over with his two daughters-in-law before the dinner party.

At the time of the unitary, Li Xiuzhu, Li Liuli, and Li Biyao came to the outside of the palace in a carriage.

Suzaku Street is close to Qinglong Street, and their house is nearly a kilometer away from the gate of the palace, but they sat and walked for a stick of incense.

"Master Hou, two princesses, we have arrived at the palace gate."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu got up and got out of the carriage, turned around and hugged the two daughters-in-law.

Only then did he turn his head and look at the other end of Qinglong Street.

It was his first New Year, and he was already accustomed to the quieter New Year, and the atmosphere was a bit interesting.

The sound of children frolicking can be heard everywhere, hundreds of opera performances can be seen everywhere, and some people want to make another profit on Chinese New Year's Eve, so as to have a fat year stall vendors.

These stalls not only have all kinds of jewelry, but also rouge gouache, and cloth shops are still open, apparently ready to be sold to migrant workers who are preparing to return home on this last day.

But it's more about selling food, and on this day, anyone's child can get a few copper plates for New Year's money.

You must know that children make the best money, so basically every street is full of all kinds of food stall owners.

The people who sell sugar gourds, sugar paintings, and noodles are the most, followed by those who sell croquettes and fried rounds.

However, fireworks at this time are still controlled products, and no one else is allowed to set them off except for special department personnel.

Of course, in order to give everyone and the children a good experience, there are also some things similar to fairy sticks for the people.

Well, it's just a similar way of burning, specifically a whip-like, very long fireworks, which can burn a full 60 breaths, and it is particularly beautiful to shake.

"Husband, it's time for us to go in, it's not good to go late."

Li Liuli thought that Li Xiuzhu liked to watch the performances outside, raised his head slightly, and said with a little pride: "Husband, there is nothing to see in these performances, and there will be a hundred performances after the meeting is over." ”

"These hundred plays are carefully selected, and each one is very interesting, not comparable to these outside."

"And the exorcism also started from the palace."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"Okay, then let's go in first."

The banquet is set in the Hanyuan Palace, which is different from the place where the banquet is held in the Yizheng Hall at every turn in film and television dramas.

In the center of the Hanyuan Hall there is a huge Persian carpet, which is sewn from ninety-nine small carpets, but from the outside, there is only one large one.

There are four rows of tables and chairs in front of both sides, here the first row on the left hand side is the crown prince and the other princes are behind, the first row on the right hand side is the eldest princess, and the back is the other princesses.

The horses sat with the princess, and the princess's concubine followed the princes.

Although Li Xiuzhu is now a county prince, he still sits with the princess.

On the left side of the two sides is the civil official group, on the right is the military attache group, and there are four seats in front of the hundred officials, two on each side, all of whom are envoys of a country.

Unlike the previous dynasty, the first row facing the stage is the high position of the hundred officials, and the second row behind him will be so on, the difference is that one is vertically lined and the other is horizontally.

Li Xiuzhu and the others were not the latest to enter, nor were they the earliest, when they entered, the crown prince and the third prince were already there, and there were several princesses.

Li Shishi saw Li Xiuzhu and suddenly showed a smile.
