shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 131 Imperial City

After playing for a while, it became more and more lively outside. Xiao Qingyu put down the firecrackers, ran to the gate of the courtyard with a mask in her hand to look around, and found that everyone had already started to revel. The two adults who were eating wine stomped their feet: "Mother! Mother! Have you finished eating? Can we go?"

"Where are you going?" After drinking a few small glasses of champagne, Lin Wanwan was a little tipsy and her face was flushed. Hearing this, she leaned on the food table, stood up, stroked her dizzy forehead, and said, "It's so lively outside. What is this for?"

"Dancing, mother!"

Yunshang smiled and said: "My lady used to live in the mountains. I'm afraid she doesn't know the folk customs. On New Year's Eve, everyone has to burn the courtyard to drive away the Nuo! The family used a broken broom and the little lady wore small shoes. Ready."

Lin Wanwan was at a loss, why did she need a broom and shoes?

However, compared to the modern New Year's Eve, which is less and less desolate and desolate, the excitement of the Tang Dynasty is really gratifying. Lin Wanwan doesn't bother to ask more questions, just join the carnival crowd and play along!

"Okay, then let's go play together."

She grabbed the witch mask that she had prepared earlier, put it on, and asked Xiao Chong in a low voice: "Cousin, did you bring the mask? Without me, there are many here, let you choose."

Xiao Chong drank more than Lin Wanwan, but he also had a better capacity for alcohol than her. At this time, his white jade face was only slightly powdered, and he smiled and said, "That's it, thank you cousin."

After speaking, he walked to the side, picked a tiger mask from a pile of masks, and put it on.

The whole family, big and small, went out and joined the exorcism team outside, leaving only Kunlun and Sun Hoyao to look after the house.

The entire Linjiazhuang was brightly lit, and fires were burning in the yards of every household, and the firelight and the starlight complemented each other, making it extremely brilliant.

Looking at his family wearing a new dress made of silk, the masked daughter dancing behind the young lady at home, and the old mother who was dragged by Hua Nong and also wearing a mask to sing, Sun Heyao's eyes became moist. It became crystal clear.

In this way, he never thought of having the joy of carnival after feeding and warming his family.Even if he can't ascend to heaven with the gods in the future, he still feels that life is worthwhile after only a short moment in this world tonight.

It is a great fortune to think that he, a refugee, can live such a good life.

But Kunlun's idea is much simpler - just eat!

There are so many delicious foods tonight, I can't finish them all!Well, it's so delicious, I'm sweating from eating it!
"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

Bells, drums, and firecrackers sounded from all directions. It was time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and the carnival on New Year's Eve came to an end.

Xiao Qingyu had already been driven by Lin Wanwan to sleep with Yun Chang, and those little servants were also driven down to sleep. Lin Wanwan herself sat in the main hall and watched her servants kowtow to her for the new year.

There was no such thing as lucky money in the Tang Dynasty, but Lin Wanwan prepared a lot of luxurious and inexpensive artificial crystal jewelry bought in modern times, and gave them to the servants.The maids are naturally happy, and the male servants are not unhappy either. You can't bring jewelry by yourself, but you can give it to your family or sell it for money!

Lin Wanwan's side was bustling with excitement, while Xiao Chong had already ridden on his horse and left.Yigao people are bold masters and servants, and they are not afraid of walking at night.

In the Tang Dynasty tonight, there are sleepless houses everywhere.

***
Compared with ordinary people and small local officials who can sleep well the next day, the Beijing officials in Chang'an City are much more miserable, and the bigger the officials, the more miserable they are.On New Year's Eve, not only do you have to enter the palace to watch the year with the emperor, eat wine, recite poems and compose a carnival, but at dawn, you have to go to court!

The Grand Court Meeting on Yuan Day (the first day of the Lunar New Year) is quite a grand meeting. The officials and ministers of the capital must wear grand court clothes and dress up to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. Some dependent countries and local bosses will also send people over. Congratulate the emperor.

There is a poem that records such a situation-a thousand officials pay homage to the dawn of the sky, and the first day welcomes the spring, and everything knows.

Today's Great Court Meeting can be summed up in one sentence - singing praises and bragging.

The emperor lamented to the ministers that the Tang Empire had been thriving and full of vitality under his leadership in the past year, and the ministers echoed the emperor and sent brilliant and festive words to the emperor.

Yuan Day is the first day of the new year, and auspicious words are naturally indispensable. Even Wei Zheng, a minister who likes to argue with the emperor, would not criticize today.

After the routine bragging and flattery were over, the gift-giving began. All kinds of treasures from local dignitaries and affiliated countries were presented together.Among these congratulatory gifts, the gift of Xiao Kai, the doctor of Yubu, is the most special.

What he presented was a small tomato tree bearing red and yellow fruits, and a pot of salt as white as snow.

After listening to Xiao Kai's narration, the smile on the Emperor Datang's face became brighter. Although the small tomatoes are rare, they are rare at best, but the meaning represented by the snow-white salt is quite different.

The emperor looked at Xiao Kai and said slowly: "What Xiao Qing means is that the method of making salt is also the work of Lin Wanwan who brought the prolific rice seeds from the mountains and the prolific sweet potatoes from overseas?"

Xiao Kai said: "Returning to the sage, that's exactly the case. Lin's Wanwan has handed over the method of making salt from the beach to my son's room, and the snow salt presented by my son was made by my son in the salt field opened in Yan County. Finished product."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the servant next to him, and the latter came forward knowingly, and brought a basin of snow salt in front of him.

Li Shimin picked up a pinch of salt and looked at it carefully. After a while, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay! It's really my Tang Dynasty's good fortune that these hermits are willing to go down the mountain to benefit one side. Both Xiao Qing and Ru Zi have contributed to enlightenment.

This woman had presented high-yield rice seeds and high-yield sweet potatoes with a yield of fifteen dan per mu before, which is already a great achievement, and now she has such salt recipes, which should be rewarded heavily!What do you think? "

"Congratulations, my lord. It is the benevolence of the lord that makes the talents from all walks of life show up. I think it is a great reward!"

"My emperor is a sage, and I will reward you a lot!"

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

The group of people in the court hall, wearing court clothes today, looked very festive in colorful colors, and the words they spoke made people feel happy.

His Majesty Li Er looked at everything in front of him, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, and he also greatly appreciated the Xiao family's behavior of not ignorantly spreading salt. This is the kind of minister Li Shimin wants!
"Has the identity of Lin Wanwan been found out?" His Majesty Li Er asked again after all the bigwigs who were qualified to speak in the court had finished speaking.

"Returning to the saint, I have found out that this person is from the Hou Taolin family in Daoshan County in the south of the Yangtze River. He lived in seclusion with other people in the mountains to learn art since he was a child. He is knowledgeable and talented. He also has a brother who likes to travel all over the world."

"If the origin is clear, you can be rewarded!"
