Destiny Only Han

Chapter 1058 Liu Ying: I am a friend, do you want to show your respect? (Take out Gatling...

Guanzhong.

It is the twelfth lunar month.

According to the tradition of this period, every year the country will hold a large-scale wax festival on the third Xu day after the winter solstice, which is approximately equivalent to the 25th or 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, to pray for a good harvest in the coming year and for the safety and good fortune of the family. , and a large-scale 'exorcism' ceremony will be held to deliver the flames burning evil spirits to all parts of the country to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.

This event happens every year, and this year is no exception.

It's just that Liu Ying was too lazy to go to Yong County, so he held the wax festival ceremony in Chang'an City.

After all, this was the political center of the Han Empire, and there were countless wealthy households. King Wu could not help but launch a night market economy while holding large-scale events...

There are still two days before the real celebration, but the place in Chang'an City specially designated for vendors to set up stalls is already packed with people...

Of course, these people not only came out to hang out, but also bought some new year's goods to take back.

The twelfth lunar month is December, and in six or seven days, it is the New Year.

Therefore, lanterns and colorful decorations can be seen everywhere on the road, and acquaintances wish each other a Happy New Year in advance after meeting each other.

In the crowd, Liu Ying touched the short beard on her chin, feeling that something was missing.

After a while, he suddenly realized.

music.

To be precise, it's a combination of 'The God of Wealth is knocking on my door' and Andy Lau's 'Congratulations on getting rich'...

Liu Ying thought for a while. Anyway, the tweeters that were used to announce tax exemption for one year have not been removed yet, and now they come in handy!

How was he brainwashed in those years, and now he is going to wash the brains of people in Chang'an!
And it’s not a recording, but a live version…

Next to him, Liu Le, who was holding a marshmallow in his hand, shivered inexplicably and muttered to himself: "It shouldn't be, I'm wearing such thick clothes..."

Zhang Buyu took off his cloak without hesitation and put it on Liu Le's shoulders.

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Le turned his face and responded with what he thought was a sweet smile.

Liu Ying took the opportunity to steal the marshmallow, rolled it twice randomly, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Liu Le was stunned.

On the other side, the trio of Liu Fei, Liu Heng, and Liu Ruyi slowly distanced themselves from Liu Ying, their faces full of contempt.

Zhang Buyu frowned: "Let's just say, can you pay more attention to your image?"

Liu Ying wiped the corner of her mouth and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are either strangers here or people with the same surname as me... Well, although your surname is not Liu, you are a pretty boy who eats soft food. For the sake of it, For my sister’s sake, I can barely be considered one of our own!”

Zhang Buyi: "..."

He glared very femininely and was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Ying. He took a half step back and let Liu Ying see a pair of angry beady eyes.

Liu Le clenched his fists and said nothing.

Liu Ying sneered: "Isn't it just a marshmallow? Don't be so stingy..."

Liu Le wanted to get angry, but for some reason he suddenly laughed, shook his head, and pulled Zhang Buyi towards the vendor selling candied haws on the other side.

After a while, all the Liu people, including Zhang Buyi, had a candied haws in their hands, but Liu Ying was left empty-handed.

"Hmph! I don't like eating those sour things!" Liu Ying curled her lips and walked forward alone angrily.

Liu Le wrinkled his nose at his back and bit off a piece of hawthorn with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Ice and cold, sour and sweet, delicious!
If everyone has it, it will be more enjoyable if no one is allowed to eat it!
....................................

"Look, here we are!"

Liu Ying pointed to a place surrounded by curtains and shouted to Liu Bang and others to come over.

Liu Bang approached, raised his head, and said with some confusion: "The First Han Empire Automobile Industry Exhibition..."

He turned around and looked at Liu Ying: "What is this for?"

Liu Ying explained: "It is to show the latest cars and engines... However, because diesel and gasoline engines are both expensive and difficult to manufacture, the main exhibits are mostly concept machines, and there are also many powered by steam engines. Vehicles."

"For example, the upcoming Northern Prairie Star steam tractor and those giant Kunpeng series engineering vehicles..."

Liu Bang suddenly became interested, but he stopped moving and sighed slightly: "If you had said earlier that you were not hanging out in the market but here to visit this exhibition, I would have sent someone to call you, Uncle Lu, to come too!"

Look, I said there was an affair between the two of them... Liu Ying and Liu Le next to her exchanged a tacit look.

Liu Bang looked left and right, but in the end he walked towards the main entrance of the auto show without saying a word, hands behind his back.

The guard at the door wanted to stop him, but when he saw Liu Ying following behind him, he immediately let him go.

After all, the official exhibition day will be after the December Festival and New Year's Day. No one should be allowed to enter the exhibition today.

But obviously, Liu Bang is not 'anyone'...

Liu Ying ordered people to turn on all the lights and led Liu Bang and others to the central exhibition hall.

There, parked was a strange-looking four-wheeled vehicle.

It was a retro vehicle. Liu Ying had some bad taste. The appearance of the vehicle basically imitated the 'Steepunk' brand sedan in later film and television works...

Well, it’s the kind Chennault sits on!Liu Bang stepped forward, opened the door, and got in very easily. However, when he looked around for the start rocker, he found nothing.

"Set the car on fire! Let's go out for a walk!"

As he spoke, he asked Liu Le to sit in the back seat. It was obvious that he was going to drive a new car and take his black-hearted cotton-padded jacket out for a ride...

Liu Ying shook her head: "This is a show car, and the fuel tank is empty."

Liu Bang stared: "If you don't have gas, just fill it up. Do we still have this little money?"

"It has nothing to do with the oil. It's mainly an engine problem! This car is front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. The engine is arranged in a semi-Ya shape with eight cylinders. It is equivalent to nearly a thousand galloping horses pulling the vehicle to run..." Liu Ying shook her head and said: "It's too fast! So, Dad, you can't drive!"

Liu Bang's biggest characteristic is that he listens to others' advice and does not insist on his own way.

Therefore, he reluctantly touched the leather steering wheel and walked out of the car, shaking his head.

But Liu Le came over with a flattering look on his face: "Brother, dad can't drive because he is old and his reaction is slow. As for me, my reaction speed is really fast! Let me drive for a while!"

Female drivers are scarier than old men, right?Moreover, you didn't buy me candied haws just now... Liu Ying flatly refused: "This is the only eight-cylinder machine made. It is a concept product that I gathered hundreds of 'master craftsmen' to work on."

"To be honest, the performance and parameters of this engine are still unknown..."

"So, if you really want to drive, why not try the Baiju Mini over there..."

Liu Le frowned: "Bai Ju? I don't ride a horse! Tired, annoying..."

Liu Ying smiled and said: "Baiju is not a horse, it is the name of these cars, which means Baiju passing through the gap. This big car is model 710, and the two-door, two-seater car with a reduced size and a four-cylinder engine is Baiju Mini…”

"In the exhibition hall next door, there is also the Baiju 330 version, which is also equipped with a four-cylinder engine, but the engine power is more powerful, and it is a five-door, four-seater..."

....................................

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year.

The eighth year of the Great Sage disappeared amid a burst of crackling firecrackers, and the New Year's Eve party of the ninth year of the Great Sage was about to come amid the roaring of tigers and elephants.

On the imperial road leading to Xuanshi Palace, Liu Ying's car slowly appeared.

After the 360 ​​soldiers, there are twelve elephants with painted bodies to indicate that there are twelve months in the year, and then there are tigers and lions used to ward off evil spirits.

In Huangzhong Dalu, Liu Ying resisted her drowsiness and climbed up to Danbi.

Above him were Lu Pheasant, who had a serious face, and Liu Bang, who was tilting his head and not knowing what he was thinking. Beside him was Lu Yu, who was dressed up. As for the prince Liu Yan, he was sitting far away from Liu Ying. On the Danbi three steps below.

The visitors shouted:
"New Year's Eve, congratulations from all officials! Tianzi Yale, rise up—"

Thus, the New Year's Eve party, which was almost exactly the same as in past years, officially began.

When all the officials came forward to congratulate and praise him in turn, Liu Ying sat upright with no expression on her face, but a person appeared in her mind.

Shu Sun Tong.

This set of Han family rituals was created by Shusun Tong based on the rules and regulations of the Zhou and Qin dynasties. It can be said that he worked hard and devoted himself to his responsibilities.

It's a pity that, for some reason, Liu Ying and he had a "gold cup with you, no mercy"...

But now times have changed, and many of the people who were implicated are no longer alive, and the remaining people will not pose a threat to Xin Xue.

Therefore, Liu Ying felt that it was time to show her magnanimity to the world.

Well, not rehabilitated.

It's just to 'restore the family', that is, to let their descendants inherit their titles again, and to perform sacrifices to their ancestors according to the corresponding titles.

While Liu Ying was considering the list of people to be "restored", the ministers, princes, and foreign vassals all congratulated him.

The visitor in charge of etiquette stepped back, and a loud-voiced etiquette officer stood up, holding the imperial edict covered by Huang Ling in his hand and began to cadence.

The first edict was a commendation to the courtiers and ministers, as well as a reward to Liu Fei, Liu Heng and other kings.

Most of the rewards are gold and jade that symbolize good luck and good luck.

Liu Fei's face was expressionless, but there was a bit of impatience in his eyes.

He didn't care about the rewards, he was just hungry...

After all, Liu Ying could come here at a pinch, but they, the vassal kings, started lining up outside at three o'clock in the morning. The important thing was to prevent him from suddenly feeling the urge to defecate during the greetings, so he started from seven or eight o'clock last night. After having the reunion dinner at Weiyang Palace, I was exhausted!
Therefore, although he is not too cold now, he is still hungry and has stars in his eyes.

Next to him, Liu Ruyi and Liu Heng were slightly better, but not much better.

But soon, the excitement dispelled the hunger.

In the ups and downs of the ceremony officer's voice, they heard that this year's rewards were different from the past.

car.

It was the Baiju 330 version car equipped with a new four-cylinder engine that they wanted to buy but couldn't because it was a concept model!

Liu Ruyi has never been afraid to speculate on Liu Ying with the worst possible intentions.

Just when he was holding his chin and starting to think, the comments from the people around him made him understand.

"Your Majesty is so kind..."

"Exactly, if you are a brother or a friend, your brother will be respectful to you, and if you are a king, you will be a minister. This is a good story..."
