Chapter 102 New Year's Eve

Chapter 102 New Year's Eve

Although he was a liberal arts student in his previous life, he had no time to memorize any poems. Even if he had memorized them, he had completely forgotten them now. The only two poems he remembered were "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and "Quiet Night Thoughts".The phrase "the lotus comes out of the mud but not stained, and the clear ripples are not demon" was just said by him casually. Although he remembered that it came from "Ai Lian Shuo", he didn't remember the whole article at all, even who the author was. Do not know at all.

Even, he only remembered that Tao Yuanming was mentioned in the poem, and subconsciously thought it was written by him, but then again, there is no "Eastern Jin Dynasty" in the history of this world.

"Ahem, ma'am, don't embarrass your husband. This is just for your husband to say casually. What kind of poetry is there?" A certain Duke of Langya rubbed his nose in embarrassment.The face was slapped, slapped, okay?

The eldest Sun Qingyi pouted, and said coquettishly: "No, the husband is the most eccentric, and I clearly remember that I didn't write it to my concubine. I envy the song "Moonlight on the Spring River" so much, my husband is bad."

"Ah?" Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback by her coquettish tone, Changsun Qingyi had never acted coquettishly with him before, and the sudden coquettish anger made his heart numb.

As soon as the words fell, Changsun Qingyi also realized that his tone was a bit awkward, so she couldn't help herself in shame, and hurriedly lowered her head not daring to look at him.

Jiang Chengxiao actually knew in his heart that she always thought that the song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" was written for Yuchi Sanniang, and he explained it many times, it was used as a door-knock chant.However, the elder Sun Qingyi didn't believe it, and often said that he was biased.

While the two were whispering, King Zhao walked into the main hall dressed in fine attire with a festive smile on his face.Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "See the prince (father)"

Zhao Wang walked to the main seat, faced everyone, stretched out his hand to press down, and said with a smile: "It's all free."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at King Zhao.Zhao Wang said: "Today is New Year's Eve, so you don't need to be too polite tonight, just enjoy it."

"Thank you, my lord (father)"

Zhao Wang turned to look at Zheng Shi and nodded slightly.Mrs. Zheng understood what he meant, and with a smile on her face, she ordered: "Have a banquet."

Two rows of maids walked out of the hall, one row of ten people, each holding a vessel with meals in their hands, and served them one by one.Dining in Dajin is still divided, especially on such a grand festival, basically each person has a table, and the food is also served separately.

The difference is that each person's status is different, and the number of meals is also different.As the head of the family, King Zhao enjoyed thirteen dishes, Jiang Chengxiao enjoyed twelve dishes, and Princess Zhao also enjoyed twelve dishes as the mistress.Le Ping, as his daughter-in-law, enjoys ten dishes, and eldest Sun Qingyi, as Jiang Chengxiao's wife, enjoys ten dishes.For other aunts, those who have children will enjoy six dishes, and those who have no children will enjoy four dishes.The daughter of the concubine enjoys seven dishes.

After the meal was delivered, King Zhao picked up the wine cup and stood up. Seeing this, everyone picked up the wine cup and got up quickly.Zhao Wang said: "New Year's Eve is accompanied by three joys, one joy is a wedding, the second joy is to welcome the new year, and the third joy is a reunion with relatives."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled and said: "There are three wishes for the three joys, the first wish is always peace and happiness, the second wish is brotherhood, and the third wish is that the house will be safe and peaceful."

"May the whole family be happy." Everyone congratulated in unison.Then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Amidst laughter, everyone sat down to enjoy the meal.At this time, the musicians and dancers in the palace filed in one after another, dancing in the center of the main hall.

"I offer a cup to my husband, and wish him good health and happiness." Changsun Qingyi held up the wine cup, covered her jade face lightly, and toasted to him shyly.

Jiang Chengxiao picked up the wine cup with a smile, and said: "I remember it for my husband, and I hope my wife can laugh often. The rest of my life is long, please take care of my wife."

The two drank a glass to each other, put down the wine cups and looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Zhao Wang's guards suddenly passed through the crowd, came to Zhao Wang's side and whispered in his ear, then Zhao Wang quickly got up, waved his hands to let the musicians and dancers in the hall retreat, Zhao Wang said: "Your Majesty's decree, follow I accept the order."

Not long after, two servants walked into the main hall. Jiang Chengxiao, who was holding the imperial decree, still recognized him as the servant Jia.King Zhao led a whole family of people to bow and worship, and Minister Jia Nei opened the imperial decree and raised his voice: "The imperial edict, the clan Zhao Wangling, the pillar of the country, is the good minister of the late emperor who comforted me."

The imperial decree Balabala said a lot, the core idea is that King Zhao is very good, and he performed very well this year. He beat off a few sheep herders in the north, and when he came back, he suppressed the situation for me, and then Jiang Chengxiao, although he was young. Quick wit, a rare good material.

According to this, this year, King Zhao's Mansion rewards two dishes, one hundred pieces of brocade, ten dendrobium pearls, one beautiful jade, a pair of jade double uncorked bottles, ten strings of agate, a pair of white jade lotus bracelets, gold.
All in all, the emperor was very generous. This time the rewards were all good things, worth tens of thousands of gold, and he didn't send any boring copybooks. He still valued King Zhao very much.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward." Zhao Wang accepted the imperial edict with a smile, and asked the guards to give the two servants some money for tea, and then sent them out of the mansion.

Immediately afterwards, the guards brought in the rewards from the servants and opened them in front of the whole family.Jewelry may be used to describe the situation in front of Jiang Chengxiao. Gold and other things are trivial things. The key is that those exquisite and beautiful pearls, gorgeous brocades, and even the agates offered by Fanbang make it difficult for everyone to take their eyes off.

Zhao Wang glanced at Jiang Chengxiao, and found that he was not obsessed with it. He felt a little relieved, and then let Mrs. Zheng preside over it, and everyone shared something.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Chengxiao got the best thing, a Wenxiangyu.Touching the finger-sized beautiful jade in his hand, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.He also had one before, but he gave it to Chi Fan, but unexpectedly got another one.

Earlier he was wondering why there was only one Meiyu.The gift of jade is either a whole piece of jade or a pair of jade, how can it be possible to give a single jade.He didn't expect it to be Wen Xiangyu, which has a price but no market, so he can understand that this thing is too rare.

Eldest Sun Qingyi got the pair of white jade lotus bracelets. It turned out that Princess Zheng gave her a pair of jade bracelets from the Nanchen royal family. She thought they were too precious, so she never wore them on her wrists, fearing that she would lose them.No, this time I got another pair of white jade lotus bracelets.

She thought to herself, after all, it was the palace. She had never seen such a precious bracelet when she was at her mother's house.

"This bracelet is in good condition. Jade can nourish people. You are suffering from qi disease. Maybe it will be better if you wear it." Jiang Chengxiao took the jade bracelet from Changsun Qingyi, put it on her with his own hands, and said: "Don't take it off, the bracelet is just It is used to wear on the hand, otherwise what is it called a bracelet.”

Changsun Qingyi nodded slightly. She also liked this pair of white jade lotus bracelets, especially the lotus pattern carved on the bracelets, which made her very fond of it.

The emperor rewarded two dishes, one was crystal pearl fushou silk, and the other was jade green Wanfu Jin'an wings.I don't know what the name means, but to put it bluntly, one dish is fish-flavored pork shreds, and the other dish is braised fried shark's fin.

However, because they are prepared by the imperial dining room of the palace, and because they are dishes given by the emperor, it doesn't matter whether they taste good or not, and it doesn't matter whether they are expensive or not, what matters is the meaning they represent.

"Do you know the purpose of His Majesty's gift of two dishes?" Zhao Wang put the two dishes on the table and asked the people below with a smile.

"Guess is right, there is a reward." He added with a smile.

"I know that the two dishes are related to fish, implying more than every year." Le Ping said with a smile.

Zhao Wang couldn't help laughing, and nodded the ghostly Leping, "You girl, you really came here just by opening your mouth."

After Le Ping finished speaking, other concubine younger sisters stood up and expressed their opinions, but none of them got the approval of King Zhao.

At this time, another younger sister who was a concubine slowly got up.This younger sister, Jiang Chengxiao, has some impressions that she is the very quiet third younger sister.

 Pay off the debt, thanks to love is really tiring, book friend 160215175226605 for the tip.
