Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 440 From small to big
After the winter vacation, I was finally able to spend all day with my parents. I felt happy and had a smile on my face every day.

He also met many friends in the capital, so Lin Zhaoxia proposed to hold a banquet for him in the palace and invite some children to play at home and get to know each other.

His mother provided him with flower slips, and his father provided him with a list of names. When he was older, he wrote a post to each child seriously, inviting them to come and play at home.

Many children responded to the post that day, saying they would definitely come. There were also some people who said they couldn't come, and they replied with explanations. For the very few who didn't come or reply, Lin Zhaoxia comforted them and told them not to care.

Hundreds of children have been invited, and 80% of them are confirmed to come, which is already very good.

If the identity of the foreign minister is the son of the King of Yue, then naturally there will be another result.

He is just a dragster brought by Princess Yue. It is normal for the children of King Qin and King Chu to look down on him. The prince wanted some of his children to come over, but their mother and concubine wouldn't let them go, so the prince had no choice but to give up.

Early in the morning on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Zhi went to the gate of the palace to greet the little guest, nervous and expectant.

Wearing a brocade robe made of dark red palace satin, a large cloak made of white fox fur, a small corolla inlaid with beads and a hairdo, and a pair of deerskin boots, he looked like a handsome young man.

I wonder if she was fed too much milk and milk powder by Lin Zhaoxia, and she grew taller than other children of the same age. Some people believed her even if she said she was twelve or thirteen years old.

The two boys guarding the door looked at him with flickering eyes.

It's both pride and pity. It would be great if this kind of person and appearance were the young prince of their Yue Palace.

"Brother Changyu, we are here!"

The carriage of Prince Lu's Mansion slowly stopped at the gate. Xiao Pingshuo lifted the curtain of the carriage and called out to Chang Zhi. Immediately, he and his brother were carried down by the servants. The three children were soon hugged together.

When friends meet, they are particularly affectionate.

"We are here too!" Not long after, Jiang Xuyang's two sons and daughters also arrived.

"Little uncle Wang." "Big nephew!" The carriage in the palace also stopped at the gate of the palace. Xiao Guangji also came out of the palace with Emperor Zhizheng's permission.

Not long after, all the little guests arrived. Prince Yue's Mansion suddenly became lively.

"It's still early now. I'll take you to play games first. You can also go to the theater and watch performances..."

"Brother Changyu, have you invited Broken Chest Stone?" Xiao Pingshuo couldn't forget Broken Chest Broken Stone.

"Here you go, there will be monkey performances and all kinds of acrobatics. It's more fun than crushing rocks on your chest. You will definitely like it."

Zhang Zhi looked a little proud. He had made a lot of preparations for today's banquet. He also asked his father to invite jugglers from outside. He and his mother designed many games together, many of which were modern games from Daqi. None of my children have ever played it. The children who came today will definitely like it very much.

"Then let's go quickly!" Xiao Pingshuo pulled Chang Zhi and was about to run.

Changzhi hummed and held him, not forgetting to greet the other little guests.

The guests invited today include children from royal families like King Lu, King Wu, King Liang and King Jing, as well as children from some ministers' families, and even children from low-ranking officials such as Si Nongsi.

The children have different identities, and they are afraid that they will be left out, so when they grow up, they are greeted equally.

The Prince of Yue's Mansion is recognized as the largest residence in the capital. Although it is said that the Prince of Yue was too poor this year to have any money to repair the house, the repaired and open courtyard was enough for dozens of children to play.

Zhao Guangyuan specially asked his servants to clean up two yards and two gardens for these children to play.

All the fallen snow in the yard was swept away, but the fallen snow in the garden was piled into snowmen and animals of various shapes, with noses and eyes, and wearing cloaks, and they were arranged in various shapes. The children screamed and jumped at them when they saw it. Go up.

There are various game areas in the garden, some of which Daqi's children like to play, and some that Changzhi learned from modern places. Xiao Pingshuo and others have never heard of them, but Changzhi immediately ran to each game after explaining them. Played before.

This year, various businesses in Yuewang Mansion have made a lot of money. There are lottery prizes in various games that make the children hang up and refuse to leave. There are also hoop throwing, where you can take away whatever you hit, and the blind box in Huixian Tower!

"Give me ten circles and I will throw the blind box!"

Xiao Pingshuo screamed and stretched out his hand to the boy who was handing out circles. He had been saving for so long, but he was still the owner of Huixianlou. He still hadn't saved a set of cultural creations for Huixianlou. It was so annoying.

The children of wealthy families in the capital were carefully raised from a very young age, and all of them were courteous and courteous. Many children could hit the hoop. The Yue Palace was grand, and the lottery numbers on the ground were replenished at any time. These were things that the children liked, attracting everyone. Throwing circles.

In addition to single-player games, there are also group games. The children also automatically divided into groups and discussed combat strategies in a formal manner.

In addition to this, there is also a scavenger hunt.

It got so long that people placed treasures in two gardens for the children to search for. They also distributed maps and searched according to the maps. However, finding the treasure spot was not enough. You had to answer various questions about the treasure spot to successfully complete the level. Only by successfully completing the level can you get the treasure.

The extremely challenging game attracts almost all children to participate, especially the older children. The younger children were unwilling to pull their brothers and sisters to help solve the problem.

It was lively and noisy in the garden.

Zhao Guangyuan looked through the list of children who came to the meeting today. Lin Zhaoxia sat aside and listened to him explain whose family they were from, who came, and listened to his analysis of each family's attitude towards the Yue Prince's Palace.

"If we knew that the emperor asked His Highness Sixteenth Prince to attend, would there be more children here today?"

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "The world likes to act based on people's faces."

It is human nature to hold people high and put people down. Even if you don't like him or Chang Zhi's identity, the emperor will still give him face.

The long list of invitations was provided by him, and even he, Jiang Wentao, and his staff tested some ministers.

When sending posts to children, the adults in charge of the family will know that some families are eager to send all their children, some only send their concubines, and some do not come. They reply to the post with special explanations, and When it stands again. Some people don’t come and don’t respond.

The children of all the officials from the Sinong Division came, and a few of the handymen who didn't have families even sent their nieces and nephews.

Zhao Guangyuan circled the list and had an idea.

In the garden, Changzhi and the children had fun, shouting and making noises. The palace was almost overturned. In the middle of winter, everyone was sweating from playing.

The servants were afraid that the children would catch cold, so they hurriedly invited the children to rest in the yard, let them drink ginger soup, and invited them to watch juggling and performances.

Many children from wealthy families have never seen street dramas and sideshows.

The streets were noisy and noisy. First, because of their status, they could not do the same thing as ordinary people who crowded around to watch the excitement. Second, the streets were too chaotic and there were many kidnappers. Children as young as several years old had no chance to see them. past these.

Today was a real eye-opener for them.

This was the first time for Xiao Pingshuo to see such a juggling act, let alone Xiao Guangji who was born and raised in the palace. They had heard of the monkey show but had never seen it. It was so fun to see the monkeys doing somersaults back and forth, walking like humans, and performing various actions according to instructions. They would bow to humans to ask for rewards and food, crawl into fire rings, pull carts, and lift sedan chairs. It was so fun!
Xiao Pingshuo and Xiao Guangji's hands turned red as they threw gold and silver beans into the copper plate.

There are also fire blowing, chest breaking of boulders, fairy rope, ventriloquism, magic, and face changing! All of them look good! The children couldn't take their eyes off it and kept shouting, it was really wonderful!
"Wow, one more, one more, one more!"

Ping Shuo and Guang Ji's faces changed so much that they forgot to blink. He looked the same in front of them just now, and they touched it. He had a black face, but why did he turn into a red face before they even blinked?

"One more and one more!"

It was so long that I couldn't laugh or cry, "There are other good programs." Why can't I just watch one program? I have watched it several times.

"Brother Chang Yu, where did Uncle Seventh Emperor invite these people? Can I invite them to my home? I want my father, the queen, mother and concubine to see it, and my maternal grandfather and grandmother, I also invite them Come and watch at home too!”

"I don't know where I...my uncle invited them from. But face-changing and magic will be performed at Huixian Tower during the Chinese New Year. There will also be other performances at that time. If you want to see it, you can come to Huixian Tower to watch. "

Not only Pingshuo, but also many people said that they wanted to invite them home to perform. I even knew that some of them were performers trained by my father himself. He just wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year and perform in Huixian Tower next year.

For example, the face-changing trick was learned by my parents in Hyundai. I have never seen it here in Beijing, and today is the first time to perform it.

There are also some magic tricks that Daqi people have never seen before.

I have never asked my parents for instructions, and I dare not respond when I grow up. "Ask me, my uncle, and I'll tell you later."

"Okay, Chang Yu, don't forget to ask. My family is behind Prince Lu's Palace." Sun Zhantan, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, said.

"And my house!"

"There's me and there's me!" the children all shouted, fearing that they would be late in line.

There are many banquets for wealthy people in the capital. They will also invite some opera troupes to their homes to sing operas, sing and dance performances, etc. However, banquets specially prepared for children are rare. There are also folk operas and juggling. Enter a wealthy family.

Today was a great eye-opener for the children. The servants urged the children many times to have lunch, but no one was willing to leave. Even though I was hungry, I still wanted to play games and watch performances.

If they watch it once and they are not satisfied, they have to watch it a second and third time. After watching it several times and they are still not satisfied, they have to invite them home to continue watching it.

Changzhi advised: "Let's eat first and let them have a rest. We can continue to play in the afternoon. And our house has prepared a lot of delicious food today, and the dishes in Huixian Tower are available today. Also There are many delicious snacks.”

As soon as he said this, the children all started to slobber and grunt.

"Is there roast goose?" "Is there roast duck?" "Is there any swan cake?"

"Yes, they all are."

"Wow! Let's go eat first and come back to play after eating."

As a result, when the children walked into the dining room, they saw two rows of various foods with tempting aromas. Their eyes were widened and they were drooling, not knowing which one to eat.

"Get your own plate and pick up what you want to eat. You can also ask your servants to help you. Take it again after you finish it. Don't waste it."

"Brother Changyu, is it like the buffet at Wanfu Tower?"

"Yes. Do it yourself. If you can't hold it, ask your servants to pick it up for you."

Older children all know about the buffet in Wanfu Building, and some of them have eaten there with their parents, but most children here have only heard of it and never had the chance to taste it.

Especially the children of low-ranking officials like Si Nongsi, like Du Zhishu, a seventh-rank official, two children in the family, do not have the opportunity to eat in such high-end restaurants.

One meal would cost Du Qianshu half a month's salary, so he could only think about it.

Du Zhishu's daughter, Du Shiwan, was only six years old. She was very sensible and acted like a big sister at a young age. She pulled her four-year-old brother tightly and followed the crowd, "Tell me what you want to eat every year, sister." Let someone pick it up for you.”

Du Shinian nodded fiercely and bit his fingers. He had never seen so much food and snacks before.

The snacks were also made into the shapes of various animals, like piglets, rabbits, ducks, and swans. The little fingers pointed at this and wanted to eat that one.

The younger children couldn't resist the aroma of food, so they played all morning. It was the time when their stomachs were empty. When people are hungry, they want to eat everything. They only regretted that their parents had fewer children.

After a morning of playing, many children have become familiar with each other. The older children will also take the initiative to help take care of the younger children, helping the younger siblings pick up the dishes and serve them, and take care of them in a stylish way.

Lin Zhaoxia often asked her servants to report the news to her.

They are all the treasures of wealthy people. If something goes wrong, it is not easy to explain. I was relieved when I heard that the children were eating obediently, without making any noise or fighting.

Joking Zhao Guangyuan: "It's not enough to let me enter the circle of noble ladies, but you really want to let Changzhi also join the circle of noble ladies."

Zhao Guangyuan smiled and said, "Many of the children here today are the next generation heads of each family. It won't hurt to have more contact with them when they grow up."

There are children coming to the princes' houses, to the princes' houses, to the princess's houses, and to the eldest princess's house. As a foreigner who lives in Prince Yue's house, it is not easy for him to interact with them, and he is also a stranger to him. Refining.

The warmth and coldness of human relationships cannot be explained by others, so you can only experience it yourself.

In addition, many children from various ministers' families came. He also invited the children of the Secretary of Agriculture and some low-level officials. Whether it was perfunctory, flattery, sincere or false, you have to judge by your elders.

In the process, you may be hit or left out, which are essential experiences in the process of growth.

Not only for him, but also for Zhao Guangyuan himself, it was an opportunity to get to know people.

Children are the least able to lie. A child's attitude often represents the attitude of the adults in the family. Zhao Guangyuan wants to use people, and he wants to use his own people. Through growing up, he may be able to find some useful people.

The banquet held specially for the children by Prince Yue's Mansion was lively and lively. The children who attended the party wished they could stay in Prince Yue's Mansion for one night and then continue playing tomorrow. They cried and shouted and refused to leave.

Every child had a great time. They played interesting things, watched interesting things, ate delicious food, played games and all won prizes. When they left, they were given gifts and souvenirs, and everyone was surrounded by them. Asked when there will be another one next time.

This kind of banquet for children, with games and programs specially designed for children, is really popular with children.

Although their parents loved them very much, they never held a banquet for them. They designed games specifically for them, and even invited jugglers and performers to show them at home.

Why are the King of Yue and the Princess not their parents?

The banquet quickly spread throughout the capital. The Prince of Yue's palace loved his children and loved a son with a foreign surname, which caused a lot of discussion.
