Chu Tianxiu and his disciples gathered for a banquet. After winning the palace examination, he couldn't help but be happy to drink more wine.

The wine was quite light and it was not much better than beer. He drank a pot of wine before he got drunk.

The disciples were all happy and said goodbye to each other.

He was carried back to Yuyuan by Zuer's back to Prince Ping's Mansion. He was drunk and lay down straight.

However, Zuer excitedly found the princess, "Princess, my son-in-law wrote a new poem called "Search and Search", which is really very nice."

"I've heard Di'er say it, and I've written it several times, which is very easy."

Li Yu smiled and put down the pen in his hand.

Several sheets of paper filled with this poem were folded on the desk, full of beautiful notes.

This poem was written by Xiao Hunhou to satirize Hongmen Inn.

But when she listened, she felt as if she had written her own thoughts.

This new poem about Hunhou has been widely praised by many scholars in the city and Confucian scholars, and has been spread throughout Jinling City.

It has long been heard by the ladies from many wealthy families and is very popular.

The young ladies even love this new word better than those who read.

This is not surprising.

Poems express one's aspirations, and poems express one's emotions.

Most poems are not suitable for women to read, and they forget them as soon as they are read.

However, the graceful and sad beauty of this poem easily touched the hearts of countless ladies, and even burst into tears.

"How can you get dark by guarding the window alone!"

"The sycamore tree is also drizzling, and it is a little bit by bit until dusk."

Every evening, their thoughts are as delicate and sensitive as this poem. After a little chanting, they are simply writing about their own thoughts!

Li Yu was no exception. When he heard this new poem about Hunhou, he was filled with joy and loved it extremely.

The first half of this poem is, "How can you resist him after three cups and two cups of light wine? The wind comes in the evening!" Although he was scolding Hongmen Inn, Xiaohunhou even wrote about his feelings of marrying into his family.

In the second half of the verse, "Yellow flowers are piled up on the ground, haggard and damaged. Who can pick them now?"

What is Xiao Hunhou hinting to her?

spit!

Li Yu's face turned slightly red.

...

Chu Tianxiu fell asleep drunk and woke up slowly in the study in the evening.

An eunuch had been waiting in the Ping Palace for a long time, waiting for Xuan to see Xiaohunhou.

Chu Tianxiu immediately went to see the eunuch.

The eunuch said that, upon the order of the emperor, he sent a letter of appointment of the Danyang County Magistrate from the Prime Minister's Office, and two sets of winter and summer county Magistrate's uniforms. After the New Year, the Lantern Festival was celebrated, he could take office immediately.

The eunuch also brought the emperor's oral message and said tactfully that although Danyang County is a small poor county with a population of only 3,000 households, fortunately it is still at the foot of the emperor and very close to Jinling City.

The little marquis was not happy in Danyang County, so he could go back to Jinling City to live often, which was quite good.

In short, whether it is the emperor or the prime minister's mansion, he has little expectations and requirements for him, the county magistrate.

It is best not to have political achievements or something.

Don’t be like King Zhou, and build a large number of constructions, forcing thousands of households in the county to rebel.

After all, according to Xiao Hunhou's experience of making trouble for Jinling Mansion in the past, his ability to torture people is extremely powerful.

This is the case with the Emperor's feet, let alone Danyang County, which is hundreds of miles away.

It is best to do nothing.

If Xiao Hunhou shalt his hands and do nothing, it would be a great idea. Although the minor officials in the county government office had low positions, they could handle many chores in a small county.

Chu Tianxiu was so amused that he took over the appointment of the county magistrate.

Is this little humble man so discolored?

The emperor actually sent eunuchs to send a message to him, tactfully hinting that he would work less and would rather not work if he lay down.

As a county magistrate who is a parent, how could he eat without hesitation?!

Chu Tianxiu immediately patted his chest and promised that the eunuch would go back and tell the emperor that everything would be left to him, work hard, and take big projects quickly, and do a great job in keeping the custody, and manage this small Danyang County well.

Seeing that he did not follow the emperor's suggestion at all, the eunuch insisted on his own actions, he couldn't help but look bitter and went back to report to the emperor with concern.

...

When Li Yu learned that Chu Tianxiu was appointed as the magistrate of Danyang County by the court, he patted his chest and promised the emperor that he would do something hard. He didn't know for a moment that he should be happy or worried.

From now on, Xiaohunhou will have to work hard in his fiefdom.

I don't know what he is going to do.

Forget it, my husband will not take office after the Lantern Festival after the New Year.

Let’s talk about these worries after the New Year.

"Husband!"

Li Yu said: "After Xiaohan is over, New Year's Eve is approaching, we should prepare some New Year's goods for the New Year. What do you want to buy? Let's go to the street to buy some back."

"Purchase New Year's goods?"

Chu Tianxiu's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.

Spend money!

This is his favorite thing to do.

This is also the first New Year he had traveled to the Great Chu Dynasty that had lasted for the past two thousand years, and of course he had to prepare extremely grandly.

Buy Buy!

"Let's go buy!"

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er took a three-carriage carriage and left Wanghou Lane to the bustling and lively Jinling market to buy New Year's goods.

In the evening, lanterns were hung everywhere in Jinling City, which was the most lively.

When purchasing New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival, it usually starts one month in advance.

Because Emperor Taizu Xiang Yu moved all the wealthy families in the world and more than 100,000 wealthy families to Jinling City, and the imperial city gathered the wealthy people in the world.

Rich and prosperous in the country.

Merchants from all over the country will transport the best goods to the Imperial City of Jinling for selection and purchase in the palace, the top ten clans, court officials, and wealthy families.

There are all kinds of shops and vendors of all sizes on this street.

It is full of rice cakes and snacks, big red lanterns, new silk and satin clothes, new gold and silver jewelry, rouge powder used by daughters, jewelry and jade hairpins, utensils for adults and children to play with, tributes for ancestors, incense and candles... There are so many dazzling arrays that are endless.

In this winter, a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and bacon are bought in advance and hung under the eaves and frozen, so they will not break even if they are hung.

The four of them went to buy separately.

Li Yu took Di'er to buy some new silk and satin to make New Year's clothes, as well as New Year's rouge and watermelon and jewelry. You have to choose it yourself to be satisfied.

Chu Tianxiu took Zuer around and wandered around.

He is looking for Spring Festival couplets, door gods, New Year pictures, window flowers and other objects, as well as firecrackers and fireworks, etc.

However, what disappointed him was that although there were a wide range of goods on the street, there were no firecrackers or fireworks.

The Spring Festival couplets of this era are called "Tao Fu". They are hung on the main gate to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits, and have not been written on it yet.

There are door gods, and the two brothers Shentu and Fanlei guard the gate.
