Chapter 14: Mostly celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
When the Qi army's labor envoy arrived in Dadu, the deposed emperor also arranged for Huang Fu to meet him. The envoy sent a number of gifts to the deposed emperor on behalf of the king of Qi, and then went to the Qi army camp to pay homage to King Wuyou.
The soldiers in Qi's camp were excited when they saw the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts sent by Qi. Lu Zheng and the generals of each camp spent a busy day distributing what should be distributed and warehousing what should be stored.
King Wuyou had already picked up Ying'er early and arranged to live in his tent. King Wuyou and the envoys said some polite words in the commander's tent, arranged to rest in the army, and then ordered Ye Xing to take the envoys there
Look around the military camp. At noon, we go to the capital city to have dinner together.
King Wuyou waited for everyone to go out, and sat alone in the commander's tent, meditating. He arranged for Bao Feng to accompany Qi Lu to explore the terrain around Dadu. They went there for many days. Although news was often sent back, they never found the target.
The place to look for. King Wuyou thought that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he might as well ask Qi Lu and the others to return to the camp first, and it would not be too late to look for it after the festival.
Just as he was thinking about it, the soldiers outside sent a flying letter. King Wuyou opened it and read it. It was the news sent back by Qi Lu: There is no progress yet, and he plans to return to the camp first.
King Wuyou nodded and thought with a smile: This brother can actually endure the hardships these days, following a few Feng Shui watchers to climb mountains and ridges. It seems that he was disciplined by Uncle Shun before he came out! He can do it for himself
His father has shared the burden, and he has grown up.
Although he knew that Qi Lu might end up on the opposite side of himself in future power struggles, King Wuyou felt that being able to see his brother growing up and learning to be tenacious and responsible was a great opportunity for Qi.
A good thing.
King Wuyou stood up and saw that all the troops outside were busy, either training or resting. The entire Qi army camp was full of life and vitality. King Wuyou was very satisfied with the current situation. There was only one army
A dynamic army is a capable army.
King Wuyou walked to Ying'er's tent. Meiming stood outside the tent wearing a soldier's military uniform. When he saw King Wuyou approaching, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
King Wuyou nodded and asked, "What is the princess busy with in the tent?"
Mingliang covered her mouth and laughed, turned back to the check-in room and shouted: "The prince is here!"
King Wuyou shook his head, and when Mingliang opened the curtain and walked in. Inside the tent were Ying'er, Li Long and **. Ying'er was sitting on the bed, hiding something behind her, and the other two were just
Laughing. King Wuyou didn't rush to ask, so he sat on the chair in the tent, and he quickly went over to pour tea.
Ying'er turned around and tucked the things under the quilt, then walked over and asked, "Brother Si, have you handled the military affairs today?" King Wuyou nodded and said, "Ye Xing took the envoys to go to each camp.
, Lu Zheng and the others are distributing things. I want to accompany the envoy to the city for dinner at noon. You and Miss Li should also go together."
Ying'er nodded and said, "Brother Si, do I want to accompany you here? Or should I go to Qi Ci Fang?"
King Wuyou thought for a while and said: "You just came here, take a rest in the camp first, and let ** and the others accompany you to Qi Ci Fang to stay tonight. I have handed over the handover with the envoy, and will send him back and go there too."
I'll stay with you over there. Tomorrow night is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'll take you to watch the moon on the tower."
Li Long first clapped his hands and shouted "Hello". This little girl walked with Ying'er today and saw the scenery along the way. She suddenly became very happy. In the past, she was just at home and occasionally went to some places in Hangzhou.
How could she wander around the countryside like this? She had been away from Hangzhou for several months, and all those troublesome things seemed to have been forgotten. When she heard that she could go to the city tower to admire the moon, she thought it must be good, and she was very happy.
Jumping.
Although Ying'er is about the same age as her, since she got married to King Wuyou, she seems to have become much calmer and no longer as innocent as before. After hearing what King Wuyou said, she also nodded and said, "Okay.
!" Then he took Li Long's hand and said, "Sister Li Long, do you want to live with me or by yourself?"
Li Long said: "I have always lived with my sister. Now that my sister is married, I can only be alone. If sister Yinger is willing to accompany me, that would be the best!"
King Wuyou stared at her, and then said: "You are a big girl now. If you want to go to bed by yourself, how can your sister Ying'er still coax you?"
Li Long said: "I don't have to be so stingy, and I won't compete with you. I know you just want sister Yinger to accompany you. I will give sister Yinger to you, and I will just find a room by myself."
After speaking, he rolled his eyes, and when Ying'er was not prepared, he ran to the bedside, took out the things Ying'er had hidden there, and asked King Wuyou: "Do you want to know what my sister Ying'er is embroidering?"
Ying'er blushed and stood up to fight for it. Li Long was naturally more agile than Ying'er, so she quickly got out of the way, ran to King Wuyou's face, and said as if offering a treasure: "Look, my sister Ying'er is here.
Embroider a child’s bellyband!”
Ying'er had already chased after her, reached out and took it in her hand, then hid it behind her back, lowering her head, too embarrassed to look at King Wuyou.
King Wuyou glanced at her just now and saw it. Without saying anything, he gently touched Ying'er's somewhat hot cheek with his hand and smiled.
Li Long shouted from the side: "You two don't have to be so flirtatious, there are still a few of us here!" ** pulled her and said: "Then you won't go out with me?
!”
With that said, Li Long was pulled out of the tent. King Wuyou smiled and held Ying'er in his arms. Yinger rested her head on King Wuyou's shoulder, and then handed the embroidered piece of brocade to Wuyou.
The king looked at it. King Wuyou looked at it and saw a cute little tiger embroidered on it. King Wuyou asked, "Is this to embarrass our children? It's for boys, maybe."
Ying'er nodded and said, "I want to embroider another peony flower for girls."
King Wuyou took the brocade in his hand, laughed and asked, "Then you are going to give us a son and a daughter!"
Before Yinger could say anything, a series of crisp laughter burst out from outside the tent.
On the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, King Wuyou first took Qi Lu around the camps of the Qi army. Seeing that the soldiers had prepared sumptuous food and drinks, he drank a few bowls of wine with the soldiers, and then asked Qi Lu
, asked him to accompany the generals in the commander's tent, and said hello to the generals. The generals thought he was going to the palace of Dadu, so they stopped asking him to drink.
King Wuyou and Lu Zheng each went back to their tents and changed into casual clothes, then left the camp and headed to Qi Ci Fang.
The capital city was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and every household was having family reunions. Under the bright moonlight, in front of the twinkling lights, families were reunited. King Ashoka walked on the streets, listening to the laughter coming from every house.
He couldn't help but laugh. He patted his horse and started running briskly. He also wanted to go to his lover and spend this reunion Mid-Autumn Festival together.
In Qi Ci Fang, the shopkeeper and the waiters have already set up a table in the yard. Dozens of people are lively doing tricks, drinking and eating. In addition to the table full of dishes, there are also various fruits and snacks.
King Wuyou and Lu Zheng entered the door. A waiter had already come to pick up the horses, and another waiter went to the yard to call the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of Qi Ci Fang here is called Liu Kong, a lean middle-aged man. He had heard the sound of horse hooves early and had already stood up, signaling to the guys that the boss was coming. Dozens of guys quickly fell silent and stood together.
He stood up and looked at the door. If he left the room blank, he came out and welcomed King Ashoka in.
King Wuyou has been here once or twice in the past. At o'clock, some of the old guys recognized him and hurried forward to greet him. The new guys also came up to say hello. King Wuyou didn't hesitate.
He greeted everyone with a smile and thanked everyone for their hard work. Then he asked the shopkeeper Liu to pour a bowl of wine, held it in his hand, and said to everyone: "Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. For the sake of our store's business, everyone can't go back."
, I would like to thank everyone here. This first bowl of wine is a wish for the peace of our loved ones at home!"
Go ahead and drink it all in one gulp. The clever waiter behind the shopkeeper came to pour the wine for King Wuyou. The shopkeeper Liu waved his hand and poured the second bowl for King Wuyou himself.
When King Wuyou saw that everyone had also drank, he said: "This second bowl of wine is reserved for the shopkeeper and all of you here. I thank you all!"
The shopkeeper Liu quickly handed the wine jar to a waiter, stretched out his hand to take a bowl of wine, first raised it towards King Wuyou, and then said to everyone: "Guys, are you happy that the young master can come to celebrate this festival with us tonight?
!”
"Happy, thank you, Mr. Shaodong!" The guys also shouted in unison.
King Ashoka nodded and drank all the wine in the bowl.
The shopkeeper Liu knew that King Wuyou was going to see the lady upstairs, so naturally he couldn't let King Wuyou drink more, so he said to the guys: "We are taking advantage of the fact that the Young Master is happy, and everyone will join me in offering a bowl of wine to the Master. I wish him the best."
Our business in Qi Ci Fang is booming."
The waiters in the middle also shouted "Hello" together and filled their glasses with wine. One of the waiters also filled up the wine for King Wuyou and the shopkeeper Liu, and everyone started working together again.
King Wuyou handed the wine bowl in his hand to the clerk, and then said: "Everyone has a good time eating and drinking tonight. The shopkeeper will remember to take some silver from the counter tomorrow and make a new set of clothes for each of the clerks in the store this year.
, give each person some money, and let everyone go to the city for a walk if it’s not busy tomorrow!”
The shopkeeper quickly handed over his hand, and then thanked the guys on behalf of the guys. The guys behind him also kept saying: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!"
King Wuyou walked through the courtyard and reached the back building. Ying'er and the others had heard the noise in the yard in front and knew that King Wuyou was back. Ying'er was already standing on the stairs looking around, and when she saw King Wuyou, she waved her hand. Wuyou
King You also smiled at her, waved and walked upstairs quickly.
The room was also filled with wine and food on the table, and Ying'er was leading Li Long and ** sisters to eat slowly. Seeing that the dishes on the table were not moving much, King Wuyou knew that Ying'er and the others must be waiting.
He kept to himself and didn't eat much. He asked everyone to sit down and asked Lu Zheng to come and sit down too. Six people sat at the same table. King Wuyou greeted everyone and told them to eat quickly and make sure to finish all the food on the table.
, so that I have the strength to go up to the tower and admire the moon.
When Yinger and the others saw that King Wuyou was back, they naturally ate with them. King Wuyou looked at Yinger, who was eating the food slowly, and felt that she really looked like a little wife waiting for her husband to return.
Unable to resist, she leaned over and kissed Ying'er on the cheek. When Sister ** saw it, she just chuckled. But Li Long shouted, "Where are you going to eat? The food is on the table!"
King Wuyou glanced at her and said, "What do children know? My Yinger is very pretty!"
