"As the saying goes, starting a business is difficult. Since the second year of Chuping, Zhou Gongjin and I left Shu County and went to Xiangyang, which has been nine years in a flash. I have been helping you to build this foundation, so I am very lucky." Sun Ce raised his wine glass and said loudly: "It is my honor for me, Sun Ce. Please raise your glasses and drink with me."

"Here!" The ministers answered in unison, and the atmosphere became warmer. After drinking a cup, a waiter immediately stepped forward to add wine. During this period, everyone looked at Sun Ce with a bright look. In an instant, Sun Ce felt a little guilty, and then there was an indescribable excitement. A real man stood in the world and did his best to do something, especially when this great opportunity was right in front of him. Even if there were difficulties and obstacles, he should strive to move forward. How could he be mediocre and a dull life?

"Entrepreneurship is difficult, and it is even more difficult to maintain success, especially when there are small achievements, but peace is not yet reached. There are strong enemies who resist stubbornly, and the gentle land of children who love each other. Only those who can stick to their original aspirations and move forward bravely are true warriors. A scholar is determined to be a Taoist, not to be rich and honorable, and is willing to continue to work hard with you and forge ahead. After a hundred years, he will be worthy of his heart, his descendants, and his descendants."

"Here!" the ministers shouted, raised their glasses again, and drank them all with Sun Ce.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Sun Ce was full of energy and asked the waiter to fill the wine in the glass and raise it high. "I am stupid. I have to be able to have today, thanks to all the talents. Everyone in the hall is the pillars, Zhang Xiang and Yu Xiang, who are my confidants, but there are still many people not here. When we drink wine here and celebrate the New Year, they are wading through mountains and rivers in the mountains and forests of Wuling and Hanzhong, flowing upstream in the surging Yangtze River, climbing ice and lying on the ice and snow in the ice and snow in Liaodong, fighting bloody battles on the battlefields of Qingzhou and Sizhou. Please raise your glasses with me and congratulate these heroes and their families on the New Year. Do it!"

"Damn!" The ministers were extremely excited and shouted in unison. Even Zhang Hong, who had always been happy and angry, was a little moved. He raised his wine glass and drank it all in one go.

After drinking three cups in a row, Sun Ce became more excited. He walked back and forth two steps before the steps, stood back and forth, with bright eyes, and looked around the ministers. Everyone in the hall held their breath and looked at Sun Ce intently. Even the waiter who poured the wine subconsciously relaxed his steps, carefully to avoid making strange noises and disturb the atmosphere.

"After the merchant, the son of the warrior, was not well-educated and shallow in virtue, only had an original intention. In addition to the help of all the great sages, he was also inseparable from the hard work of thousands of people. Please raise your glasses with me and pay the highest respect to the scholars who searched for hidden secrets, the warriors who marched forward, the farmer who farmed fields, the craftsmen with skillful hearts and skills, the merchants who are all the businessmen who are all the world, the doctors who save lives and the wounded, and all the men and ladies. Come together."

Sun Ce turned around and invited Yuan Heng who was sitting upright. Yuan Heng was a little surprised, but she was used to Sun Ce's strange behavior and was also infected by the atmosphere in front of her. She took the wine glass from the maid, stepped forward, and compared with Sun Ce, and raised the wine glass.

"My king, I have a merciless request."

"speak."

"Since the king follows the principles of yin and yang, both men and women are equally important, and there are extraordinary ladies in the army, when congratulating, should there be some heroes among the girls, so that they can be lucky enough to listen to the king's words of gold and jade?"

Sun Ce smiled and turned to look at the ministers. "What do you guys think?"

The ministers looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Sun Ce recommended that men and women should be equally valued. There were Yulin Guards in the army, and there were women as craftsmen in each workshop. There were relatively few in the official offices, and only some specific positions were held by women. Now Yuan Heng asked for women to attend the ceremony with men, which was unprecedented and never in etiquette.

At this moment, Yu Feng stood up and saluted. "King, I think what the queen said is very much. The yin and yang are peaceful at the beginning of the year. If there is a man, there should be a woman, and if there is a king, there should be a queen. I think not only the ladies who have made meritorious can attend, but the wives of all ministers can attend. On weekdays, husband and wife will manage their families together, and receive congratulations together during court congratulations, and share honor and disgrace. This is fair."

When the ministers heard this, they understood it. This is where the wife can attend, who dares to refuse? If this is to be heard, their wife will not turn against each other. If they are not allowed to divorce or remarry, it is possible.

"I'm asking for advice." Someone immediately responded, and then quickly rang out, rushing to the top.

"Since that's the case," Sun Ce raised his glass. "It's accurate! If anyone disagrees, go back to serve the family law. Zhang Xiang, Guo Jijiu, you can't sit still. Do you have any different opinions?"

Guo Jia was stunned and quickly stood up. "I am following the proposal, I am following the proposal, the king Yingming, and the queen Yingming."

Zhang Hong shook and stood up to salute. "I commented on it."

The ministers laughed and raised their glasses, and the king and his ministers all had fun.

As soon as he returned to the main hall of the harem, Yuan Heng was surrounded. Huang Yueying held Yuan Heng's hand and smiled. "So, can I participate in the congratulations in the future?"

Yuan Heng stroked Huang Yueying's hand and said affectionately: "I just spoke for my sister, so I dared to make a fuss. Fortunately, the king was tolerant and did not care about my rudeness, and even approved my request."

"It should have been like this long ago." Huang Yueying glanced at Sun Ce and wrinkled her nose. "Otherwise, I could stand with my father today and see what this first court in Dawu would look like."

"The king had this idea for a long time, but he was too busy for the past two years and didn't have time to discuss with the ministers." Yuan Heng said: "If it weren't for this, how could he agree as soon as I mentioned it. Of course, this matter would have to be Xie Yuxiang. If he hadn't expanded the scope to the official's wife, this matter might not have been passed, after all, it would have violated etiquette."

Huang Yueying nodded repeatedly. She naturally knew how shocking this matter was. If it weren't for Yu Fan's adaptation and using the previous related ancient rituals and extending them, this matter would have caused great criticism. It was precisely because of this that she never made this request. Sun Ce herself would not have any problems, but those who adhere to etiquette would definitely object. This matter was proposed by Yuan Heng, which was also a matter of responsibility for Sun Ce. If someone objected, it could only be said that Yuan Heng exceeded the etiquette and would not say that Sun Ce was in chaos.

This matter was resolved smoothly and gained unanimous support from all ministers. Yuan Heng and Yu Fan both made contributions.

"Can I participate in the next itinerary?"

"Of course, it's not possible if you are not available." Sun Ce laughed and waved his hand. "Everyone can participate, and you can go there. It's so boring to hold it in the palace every day. Let's go and see the great mountains and rivers."

"Can I do it too?" Zhen Mi squeezed over and blinked playfully. "Sister Dajiang is an official, and I am a free meal."

"You want to be an official?" Huang Yueying snatched the white snatch: "Tell me, do you want to come to Mu Academy or to Sister Quan's business? You don't have to go to the tea shop. Those big merchants selling tea are all from Zhongshan."

Zhen Mi was not angry either. She left the crowd and pulled Yin Wei, who was exchanging parenting experience with Mi Lan. "I want to go to Sister Yin's medicine shop."

Yin Wei was confused and confused. Sun Ce could see clearly and knew that Zhen Mi was attracted by the medicinal materials business. People who eat grains and grains can never get sick. The profits of the medicinal materials business are also very rich. Nanyang is a famous treasure house of medicinal materials. There are many mountains and forests in Jiangnan, and it is also suitable for the growth of various medicinal materials. The business of medicine may not be as big as that of tea business, but it is better for a long time and the profit is not small. As the herbal tangs in various places gradually get on track, the progress of medicine and pharmacy research is getting faster and faster, new drugs are emerging one after another, and some special medicines are hard to find. Yin Wei, who holds a medicine business in his hand, is already an invisible rich woman, and has the possibility of catching up with Yuan Quan.

"You want to go to the medicine shop, just go and ask Sister Yin, don't have to come forward." Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows. "You don't want to sell Jinchuang medicine to Yuan Tan, are you?"

"Oh, look at what my sister said, how dare I do it." Zhen Mi abandoned Yin Wei, hugged Huang Yueying's arm and shook it. "Sister, didn't I just beat you a few games last year? As for remembering this year?"

The girls laughed, and Huang Yueying couldn't help laughing and pushed Zhen Mi away. "You can just talk nonsense, am I the kind of petty person?"

"You are not that small, but not big." Yuan Quan held back his laughter and joked: "For the sake of a few feet thick dragon bones, he scolded several big men for half an hour, and the family dared not go back."

"I'm very careful, not a little bit. If the keel bone is one inch short, the entire structure will be affected." Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and patted her forehead helplessly. "This is different from your cooking. You can't rely on your feelings. It's just a few inches. You can't be vague. Nothing can be done if you take a slight measure."

"I'm not a stingy person. Whenever I have the chance, I will make fun of us kitchen women who are confused and don't know how to quantify. Should we have to use a bunch of tiring to cook in the future, and we have to use a caliper to measure the length of the vegetables?"

"That's it." Zhen Mi also spoke with her.

"No, I really don't mean that." Huang Yueying begged for mercy and bowed repeatedly. "Sisters, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I apologize to you. I'll hold a banquet tomorrow and apologize to you."

"This is almost the same." Yuan Quan put his arms around Huang Yueying's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't prepare it yourself. We don't like your skills either. Please invite a few chefs from the Cai family. We have been curious about Cai's dishes for a long time."

"No problem, no problem." Huang Yueying showed some difficulty. "But the Caijia cuisine takes a long time to prepare, and some ingredients need to be transported from Xiangyang. Even if you start preparing now, it will take after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"You don't have to worry about waiting for a good meal. You can eat it before Shangsi. Sisters, do you think so?"

"Yes" Zhen Mi and others raised their voices, and the sound of orioles and swallows spoke in unison.
