Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 104 Entering the Palace
"Mom, look how well-proportioned I am now. It's not good to be fat. Master said that if you are too fat, you will get sick. As long as you are healthy, you will be fine!"

Yang Xiaoran was like a monkey, he slipped to the ground, took the clothes from the hanger and put them on on his own.

Mrs. Pei frowned slightly, and said: "You should also change this habit, after the Chinese New Year, you will be eleven, you are a big girl, and the daughter of the Duke, how can you dress yourself?"

"Isn't the elder here just to take care of himself and others?"

Yang Xiaoran fluttered her big eyes and said with a smile: "Daughter doesn't want to be a person who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains, that would be a waste!"

Mrs. Pei chuckled, patted Yang Xiaoran on the forehead, pinched her face again, and said, "You, this is the only mouth left, it's strange to say it. It's okay, you can wear it yourself." Come on, lest I become a person who does not work hard in the future and blame me, a mother, for spoiling you."

Yang Xiaoran brought clothes for Mrs. Pei with a smile and said: "But the mother can let the daughter wait for her to dress."

"Ghost spirit, you can say good things to make me happy, and your two eyeballs are staring wildly, what the hell are you thinking?"

"Where is it?"

Yang Xiaoran yelled for being wronged, is he so wretched?The one who rolls his eyes all the time is a mouse, okay?

"Mom doesn't like me anymore..."

Pouted, looking aggrieved.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help laughing again, and said, "How can that be? How can my mother not love you if she is so caring? Okay, okay, mother, come by yourself, you little arms and legs, waiting for you to toss After that, your grandpa and the others should all get up."

"Hey, mother!"

Yang Xiaoran smiled mischievously, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all. In front of her mother, she still acted like a baby when she was seventy.

"Let Qiuju go and get your court clothes, you will wear court clothes to enter the palace today."

Pei's words completely drove Yang Xiaoran into the abyss.The court clothes of the fifth-rank county master are not as good as those of the princess and the princess, but they are also very cumbersome, very troublesome to wear, and very heavy, making them very uncomfortable to wear.Especially those decorations on the head can bend a person's neck, making it difficult for a person to move around.

In fact, this kind of court clothes was originally worn on sacrificial occasions. Since it is a sacrificial ceremony, it must be more serious, how can it be messed up?Afterwards, it becomes a status symbol. Although it is not necessary to wear it every day, when it comes to court meetings, sacrifices and other occasions, the married woman must wear court clothes to show her sincerity.

Li Er, you are too good at tossing!
Walking out dejectedly, Mrs. Pei smiled lightly, and said, "I have to bring an extra suit in, so I can change into it at the dinner party."

"Mom, can you finish talking in one breath? You scared my daughter to death!"

Yang Xiaoran immediately turned around, grinning and said: "I was really scared to death, the court clothes are so heavy, if you want to wear them until tomorrow before going out of the palace, wouldn't your neck be crushed?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Pei said angrily: "How many people want to suffer this crime and can't bear it! It's good for you, but you still look disgusted, and you can't be beaten to death if someone sees you?!"

The mother and daughter went out of the house chatting and laughing, prepared the morning meal, and went to other tasks before Cheng Yaojin and others got up.Some customs of the Tang Dynasty have been lost in later generations. For example, the first day of the first lunar month is New Year's Day, but it is still "Chicken Day". It is not allowed to eat or kill chickens on this day.

There is also the pig day after that, what the hell is there, until the seventh day of the first lunar month, it is the "human day".Yang Xiaoran heard this custom for the first time and felt that the concept of Tang people is really advanced. Doesn't this mean that all things are equal?However, although chickens and pigs are not allowed to be slaughtered according to the corresponding days, it is just a rule. If it is lively, it must be a "human day".

On Renren's Day, every household has to post "Caisheng" to decorate the festival, which is said to be able to ward off evil spirits.Therefore, Mrs. Pei wanted to cut out these colorful wins as soon as possible, and prepare them for that day.Pei's hand is very skillful, and quickly cut a little doll wearing a flower crown, with feet apart, stroked on Yang Xiaoran's head, and said with a smile: "I will wear this on Ren'ri day, and I will wear it in the coming year. Healthy and prosperous."

Looking at that red paper doll, Yang Xiaoran felt so cheating.In the past, the master was not so careful, and even won the lottery for himself, but now it seems that it is not good to have a caring mother? !Do I really want to go out with this thing on that day?

Thinking about that picture makes me shudder.

The couple were talking and cutting Caisheng. Of course, it was mainly Pei who was doing the cutting.Yang Xiaoran seems to have no natural talent in this area, and his hands are very handicapped.So she just messes around, and then her main job is to make her mother happy.

Before he knew it, the sun had already risen high, and Cheng Yaojin had finished his breakfast, brought a few brothers over, and asked, "Ma'am, is everything ready?"

"It's all ready, Tao Fu, the worn-out broom, and the old shoes are all ready. After midnight, I will let the servants at home do it."

Cheng Yaojin nodded, and said with a smile: "Although I suffered some crimes at the beginning of this year, but fortunately, the second half of the year is a year of good weather and a bumper harvest. This year's Grand Court Meeting can finally be easier."

"Mother, Tao Fu's daughter knows, but what is there to say about this broken broom and old shoes? Why do you need to prepare it?"

Yang Xiaoran looked curious.She knew the custom of posting peach talismans on the first day of the Tang Dynasty, and Master did it too.It is to cut the branches of peach trees into a pair of wood chips and paint them red. One piece depicts God Tu and the other Yu Lei, which is the prototype of the earliest door god.In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it became Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong.

It's just that she has seen Master paste peach charms, but she has never heard of preparing broken brooms and old shoes.

When Mrs. Pei heard this, a sad expression appeared on her face, she hugged Yang Xiaoran into her arms, stroked her head and said, "Poor, don't you know how to burn brooms and bury old shoes on New Year's Eve?"

"Every New Year's Eve, the brooms that have been used in the past year must be put into the fire with firecrackers and burned, and they cannot be thrown out of the hospital. It is said that this will make the warehouse worthwhile. Selling old shoes means that the family will The son of a high official."

The elder brother Cheng Chumo kindly gave Yang Xiaoran some popular science, and Yang Xiaoran suddenly realized, "That's how it is."

He pursed his lips again as he spoke, and said with a smile: "The elder brothers will all become high-ranking officials in the future, hehe, I am lucky to be a younger sister."

"Daughter..."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to go and draw circles. Could it be that his father's title is just a decoration?For the idea that his daughter doesn't want to rely on himself, the big devil said he was very hurt.

Seeing the injured expression of cheap father, Yang Xiaoran stabbed, climbed down from the chair, wrapped Cheng Yaojin's arm and shook it, and said: "Now rely on grandpa, and later rely on brother, hehe, it will not fail at all!"

"puff!"

Cheng Yaojin patted Yang Xiaoran on the head, his wounded heart was instantly healed, and he said with a light smile, "With Grandpa protecting you, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

As soon as this remark came out, Pei immediately complained, "Hmph! My daughter was forced to go to fiefdom. It's pitiful. At such a young age, I need His Majesty's grace to reunite with my family. What do you mean by being a man? Now Let the young lady bear it all by herself.”

Old Cheng Yaojin blushed, and then snorted coldly: "You have long hair, but short knowledge, and retreat is the way to advance. This is His Majesty's way to protect my little lady."

Seeing that Mrs. Pei still wanted to speak, she quickly stared and said, "Are you trying to say that His Majesty is not wise enough?"

Pei Shi stifled, how could he still talk?Who dares to say that the Son of Heaven is not wise?
He couldn't help but glared at Cheng Yaojin bitterly, seeing that he was complacent and depressed, he couldn't help cursing secretly: "Old man, the older he gets, the more rascal he is, he's become a genius!"

"Mother, don't be angry, my daughter is in the fief!"

As Yang Xiaoran spoke, he picked interesting things in Zhuangzi to share with Pei.Cheng Yaojin also sat down, and listened to Yang Xiaoran's talk with his elder brothers. Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was time to enter the palace.

The grand meeting of the Duke and his relatives is naturally very grand, but there are so many Dukes traveling today, what else is there for the prince, the Shengye Square is very lively for a while, and the carriages of all the families are pulled out, slowly towards the palace. door away.

The gate of the palace was wide open, and a group of mighty guards guarded the gate with spears, coming to check one by one.There are many people today, so we must be very cautious. The world is not too rough now. If something goes wrong in the court on New Year's Eve, it will be bad luck.

Yang Xiaoran was wearing court clothes, and Qiuju and Qiaoer were still carrying a bundle in their hands, which contained the clothes Yang Xiaoran would change later and various dressing tools.It's been so long since I've been in the capital, tonight I think all the "ghosts and snake gods" will be able to see their true faces, including the abdicated Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang!

After entering the Tai Chi Hall, today's Tai Chi Hall is really beautiful.Decorated with lights, everywhere reveals the joy of the festival.Everyone stood up one by one according to their own grades, taking the family as the unit, and waited for the eunuch to say "Your Majesty, the empress has arrived", and everyone knelt down to worship.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

After paying homage to the two elders, it was time for the prince to enter the arena.

Li Chengqian was wearing a bright yellow prince's suit embroidered with golden dragons. As soon as he came out, he looked towards Cheng Yaojin's family.Seeing Yang Xiaoran standing beside Pei Shi and looking at him, his cold and serious face softened slightly, and he nodded imperceptibly at Yang Xiaoran.

This move was caught by someone with a heart, such as Cui Yujiao, who immediately tasted it.

With a cold snort, he cursed in a low voice: "Fox!"

"To shut up!"

Cui Gan scolded in a low voice: "If you can't bear it, you will make big plans. If your father plans for you, the position of crown princess must be yours."

Hearing what her father said, Cui Yujiao felt better, and looked at Yang Xiaoran again, frowning.

How come it's been a while since I saw her, but she seems to look a lot better again?

In this winter, when the north wind blows, the skin is extremely dry.But looking back at her, the tender ground seemed to be pinching water, and her face was also flushed, looking at her pink and jade carvings like a doll in a New Year picture.

Just seeing her thin body again, Cui Yujiao couldn't help but feel complacent again. This is a person who has no good looks, and dares to compete with me for the crown prince?Really overwhelmed!
