Chapter 824 Celebrate the New Year happily

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is just around the corner. The people in Kyoto City are lively as never before, with smoke rising from every household and the smell of meat lingering.

The clean flower garden is decorated with joy, and bright red lanterns are hung in strings. It is even more dazzling at night, with various lanterns lighting up the night sky. Men and women come here together to go shopping, enjoy the lanterns, and guess riddles.

Watching the sideshow is very lively.

Yuantai's second party was also held as scheduled. This year, Hua Jingyun and Wen Mianmian attended together. The Queen Mother also came to join in the fun, and even the emperor appeared at the banquet incognito, wanting to see the excitement of Yuantai.

The stewards came with their own people and their families to participate. Several major theatrical troupes in the city also took turns performing on the stage, and there were bursts of applause. The programs of various major industries made people laugh. Awards for the best shopkeeper and the top ten employees.

When it comes out, the applause can lift the roof.

Although this year's profits have not been announced to the outside world, the overseas trade alone has made more than 700,000 taels. You can imagine how much it will add up to. Even the emperor secretly smacked his lips inwardly, feeling that the old couple really did

It makes money. No wonder the brothers are jealous. No wonder the couple splashed money at this party without blinking an eye.

These shopkeepers received more money than his courtiers.

I also thought that it was time for the couple to make money. You must know that the sixth daughter-in-law didn't get much rest even if she was pregnant. She was busy making money. As expected, hard work will pay off.

The end of Yuantai's party means that this year is over, and the big holiday will come next. It will not reopen until after the 15th day of the New Year, and we will work hard for the new year.

The news that Shu Mian was leading troops to go on an expedition also spread. Of course, even if you wanted to hide this matter, there would always be people from Huya Pass who would bring the news.

Like the courtiers, the common people were not too worried. Their war gods from Dongshu had all gone. What battle could they not win?

Therefore, everyone should eat and drink, and celebrate the New Year happily.

The grain, grass and iron tools prepared by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War have been sent to the front line. Mr. Qin has been praying to gods and Buddhas all day long in the hope that the war will end as soon as possible. The national treasury has just recovered, and it really cannot support a protracted war.

The emperor frowned when he saw the news, and he didn't really rest even on New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Jingyun and Wen Mianmian went to the palace to pay New Year greetings. The sisters-in-law and the Empress Dowager spent the whole day playing cards together.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Yiqing took people to Jinyuan to pick him up early in the morning. He got a soft sedan to carry Wen Mianmian from Jinyuan to the General's Mansion next door, saying that although it was close, the ceremony

Feeling is indispensable.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Jingsheng, Hua Jinghui and other brothers took their families and went to Hua Jingchang's mansion for a day, which officially began the days when the brothers visited each other for a reunion. The relationship between the royal brothers was so close that Beijing

All the families in the house saw it, and they were amazed and envious of the emperor. The brothers who had separated and lived in separate families could only move around when they saw this.

By the time the seventh day of the Lunar New Year passed, the year was actually almost over. The brothers were all busy again. In fact, they had not finished the errands they had done before. They had to finish them and wait for the start of the court.

Their father had an explanation.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, we worship the Jade Emperor. It is said that this day is the day when God visits the world and blesses the world. People have to be extra diligent on this day, so the court also opens on this day.

At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed, and the courtiers are all busy performing their duties, waiting for the good news to come back from the front line.

The craftsmen of the Prince's Palace also began to work. Although there is a secret door between Annan Palace and the General's Palace, it is somewhat inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to open a door between the two palaces openly. There are two doors at the front and back, and each palace has its own door.

The key in charge of your own side is opened during the day and locked at night, also for safety reasons.

Manager Wang also found the teacher and took people to the military camp in the suburbs. The expansion of classrooms and the construction of a martial arts field were also put on the agenda. The twenty horses arranged by Wen Mianmian were also sent there. From then on, the military camp

The school changed from a shotgun to a cannon and became regular.

Tianhai Xinxing gained a lot of fame due to Huabanli's opening two years ago. Most of the merchants at the Goods Festival would choose to hand over their goods to them for escort. For a while, the busy people jumped on their feet and started work again before the New Year was over.

The first batch of new clothes was delivered on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone couldn't wait to put them on that day. Some people didn't want to take them off after wearing them for more than ten days. Fortunately, there were women from the military camp.

With the participation of the girls, the garment shop made rapid progress, and the second batch of clothes was sent over before the 22nd of the first lunar month.

"The second day of February is a good day. We will break ground on that day and it is expected to be delivered in one and a half years."

Pei Yu is very concerned about the new head office and actively communicates with people in Hua Banli, keeping an eye on the progress. Wen Mianmian closed the booklet in his hand and said, "The training will be based on this. Arrange it as soon as possible. We will try to officially start the training in March.

Try your best to recruit people with better eloquence to do this."

With the addition of the Ministry of Commerce, various terms of Tianhai Xinxing began to be improved soon, and the management of Tianhai Xinxing also made rapid progress. Wen Mianmian was very satisfied with this. Her focus this year is to completely smooth out Tianhai Xinxing.

In mid-February, the weather was getting warmer day by day. Many people came to the Wangjiang Pavilion every day to watch the surging river. Qi Kai ordered people to buy a group of ducks and raise them on the river, creating a beautiful scene.

The sight of ducks coming to the spring river as a prophet comes.

Wen Mianmian goes out less often now, and her belly is getting bigger day by day. Counting the days, she will give birth in three months. Grandma Fang is extremely worried, saying that if the baby is born later, it will

If you were born in May, it is a poisonous month and is unlucky.

Wen Mianmian didn't care, saying that he didn't care about it at all, "If anyone thinks it's unlucky for my child to be born under a poisonous moon, just don't have any contact with her."

"Don't force it."

Aunt Fang sighed silently, and quietly prayed to Bodhisattva if nothing happened, hoping that Bodhisattva would bless their little master.

Just when the courtiers were busy plowing the spring, news came from the northwest that General Wen Sheng and his army had driven back the people of Yingyu. In this battle, General Wen Sheng, General Shang and General Liang divided their forces into three groups to attack those in Yingyu.

The people carried out an encirclement and suppression campaign, killing 100,000 people in Yingyu and forcing them to retreat to Longyue.

"I said that there will be no problem if a general takes action. Look, we have achieved such a great victory just a short time after we set out to fight."

"Oh, when the general went on an expedition, the court officials didn't even let the news out. It shows that he didn't pay attention to those small countries and ministries."

"Let's go, it's a victory after all. We still have to celebrate at noon today."

The people were overjoyed because all they got was good news, and the bad news almost made the emperor faint.
