Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 416: Shangyuan Festival Night
Back in the harem, Luo Youdu told Fu Qing'er, Zhou Ehuang, and Zhe Saihua about his thoughts and intentions, and they all found it interesting.

Thinking of my lord working hard day and night for state affairs, it was a rare festive day, with such elegance, I asked for help one after another.

Folding Saihua is skillful. When I was in Fugu, I folded the lanterns myself. The lanterns I made are exquisite and beautiful.

Zhou Ehuang wrote a good handwriting, Luo Youdu was in charge of solving the puzzles, Zhou Ehuang wrote it himself, and at the same time carried the lantern to write the inscription.

As for Fu Qing'er, she looked at Chou Chou to prevent him from making trouble.

The little guy has already started to be mischievous, looking at the colorful lanterns, he wants to tease them.

Chouchou eats well since he was born, looks very strong, has a lot of strength, and tore a lot of things.

If it is broken, it will be aggrieved and pretend to be innocent, screaming "Yeah", "Yeah".

Yeye means what father means, the little guy can speak, but his articulation is a bit slurred.

But "Yeah" yelled very clearly, he was a smart person, and he knew who could cover him.

Luo Youdu helped his cousin take care of the bear child for a few days during the Chinese New Year in his previous life.

The brats of his time didn't have mobile phones and computers, and all they played were brain teasers and guessing puzzles, and they memorized a lot of tricks in their minds.

He originally planned to write it down secretly, and play with him when Chou Chou enlightens.

Today, I was reminded by Wang Pu, and I moved the idea of ​​having fun with the people.

Luo Youdu has worked in Kaifeng Mansion and managed the people's livelihood, and knows how difficult it is for the people in this era. The celebration of the Lantern Festival is the most happy and relaxing day for the people throughout the year.

Shangyuan Festival.

As the most solemn festival of this era.

The whole Bianjing was filled with joy and celebration.

Regardless of high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they all enjoyed the rare festive days in the past year.

Chang Zhuang looked at his son Dagou and daughter Dani who had put on new clothes, happily looking at their reflections in the tub filled with water, with a smile on their honest faces.

He is the most inconspicuous tenant outside the city of Bianjing, with two thatched huts, a wife, and a pair of children, that is all his belongings.

The simple peasant woman brought out the steamed food and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, when we are full, our family will go to the city to watch the lanterns. If you are lucky, you may even get a lai see from the official."

Chang Zhuang took the noodle cake from his wife, glanced at the yellow rolls on the table, and said, "Why don't you use an iron pan, I heard that fried rolls are especially delicious."

The peasant woman rolled her eyes at him and said: "It's been a few years since the good days, so I'm not mean. I bought an iron pan, but where did I get the oil to fry it? According to me, I have to save my money to buy land in the future and get a piece of my own. land, live your own life."

Chang Zhuang shook his head and said: "Not good, not good, it's too dangerous. It's better to follow Huang Dong's family. Huang Dong's family treats us well, doesn't let us do anything harmful to nature, and eats and drinks without worrying about it. We can save a little money for our children. buying clothes."

The peasant woman glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "This is not Dong Huang's family, but the emperor. Dong Huang's family was also a powerful figure back then, and it is said that there were lives in their hands. It's just that they woke up quickly and didn't let the Qingtian master of Kaifeng mansion. caught."

Chang Zhuang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "This is not nonsense, Mr. Huang's family is our food and clothing parents."

In ancient times, the relationship between tenants and landlords was very close.

The owner and the landlord are the parents of the tenant. In a chaotic world, the tenant is the landlord's thug, a willing thug.

Don't think that in ancient times, if you had land and land, you could live comfortably, on the contrary.

People with fields and land often have to bear great risks.

Because the climate is impermanent and the state of the world is impermanent, the fields you have worked so hard may not be rewarded.

Drought, flood, or man-made disasters can damage the harvest in the field.

Landlords can afford losses, but people cannot.

Whenever a disaster strikes, the people with fields and land will face extinction.

Selling children and daughters, selling fields and land.

Therefore, the real poor people are not qualified to own their own fields to cultivate. They would rather sell their fields to landlords at a low price and become tenants themselves than take risks on their own.

This is the case for Chang Zhuang. He doesn't understand why his wife is always thinking about buying land.

Isn't it good to beg for food with Huang Dong's subordinates?
Comfortable and real.

It would have been a bit dangerous before, but now there is the Kaifeng Mansion that pleads for the people, and he is a simple tenant, and does not have to work for the owner, acting as a thug who shares weal and woe.

The peasant woman was silent for a moment, and said: "I heard from the gentleman at the entrance of the village. The husband said that our dog is smart and might be successful. The tenants can support the family without any problems, but if they want to support the dog to study, it will be impossible. The master also said that today's son is benevolent and kind, and if there is a disaster year, he will not embarrass the people."

Chang Zhuang looked at his son, frowned, and said, "I'll think about it!"

Three or five years ago, their family had problems eating.

How can there be any idea of ​​​​discussing the purchase of land?
This can be discussed to buy land, but Chang Zhuang himself didn't realize that life is really different.

It's just that his old thinking hasn't turned around yet.

The family did not continue this topic, but had a meal and happily went to the city to enjoy the lanterns.

In Bianjing City on the night of Shangyuan, colorful lanterns are hung everywhere, just like daytime.

People in the whole imperial street wear animal masks, men wear women's clothes, and advocate excellent juggling, stretching for five miles.

More than 8000 song and dancers dance along the street.

Proud military officials like Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, and Gao Huaide directly sent people to distribute lai sees.

The game of guessing lantern riddles has quietly risen in the streets and alleys.

All kinds of lantern riddles are written on paper strips and pasted on lanterns, and those who guess correctly will get a small reward.

The lantern riddles are thoughtfully categorized, and there are adults and children who can guess the riddles.

This novel entertainment and puzzle activity immediately became widely sought after and aroused the interest of the public.

Chang Zhuang's son, Chang Dagou, got an exquisite little lantern with the words "five grains and harvest" written inside the lantern, which has a very good meaning.

Chang Dagou generously gave the lantern to his sister.

Chang Dani held the lantern in her hand preciously, and her smile never faded all night.

Standing on the Longjin Bridge, looking at the lanterns across the river and thousands of Kongming lanterns flying up, Chang Zhuang looked at his sons and daughters who hadn’t closed their mouths all night, and suddenly said to the peasant woman: “Don’t make iron pots, just save them. Money to buy land. I believe that life is getting better and better. This year, Dagou and Dani put on new clothes today. Next year, I will try to give them a new pair of shoes, and the year after that, I will also change your clothes..."

At the same time, Luo Youdu dealt with foreign vassals, envoys of vassal states, and important officials of the court. He took Fu Qing'er, Zhe Saihua, and Zhou Ehuang with him, and climbed to the highest point of Xuande Gate in Kaifeng Imperial City with Chou Chou in his arms. Night scene, said: "I hope this scene is not only in Bianjing, but in all parts of the world."

Fu Qing'er said: "Your Majesty has the world in mind and the people in his heart, so he will surely get what he wants."

Zhou Ehuang also wanted to say something, but suddenly "vomited"...

　There is something at home, I am late, sorry.
