In order to appease the Beimang envoy, the emperor finally agreed to Baihua to meet the envoy in the future.
The words were also very beautiful, saying that he wanted the envoys and princesses of Beimang to feel more about the customs and customs of the capital, and to see the lively and prosperous Baihua Day in the capital.
Time has passed by for half a month, and there are still three days left before Hundred Flowers Day.
The cigarette cream and gouache shops, snack shops, and cloth shops in the capital were almost full.
Although Hundred Flowers Day is not a big festival, it is still an indispensable folk custom, including parades on floats, setting off lanterns, and guessing Hundred Flowers Lantern riddles.
Unmarried men and women can wear masks, and if they meet the person they like, they will give the lantern in their hands to them.
If you accept it, it means that you have the intention to keep in touch.
It's like a dating show.
However, three days before Hundred Flowers Day, many unmarried women, aged between fifteen and twenty-three, will be recruited to participate in the Hundred Flowers Election Competition.
The competition is about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In short, we choose the most talented among them.
As the lady praying for this Hundred Flowers Christmas, she is also known as the Lady of Flowers.
From Song Yutong's understanding, the title of Lady of Flowers is still very valuable.
Because the emperor will reward Lady Baihua every time.
Not everyone can have this honor.
Of course, as a Baihua Lady, if she wants to enter the palace and become a queen, she does not need to pass an election. By entering the palace as a Baihua Lady, she can immediately gain the status of a beauty.
Therefore, in the early days, there were many children from poor families who wanted to enter the palace and become empresses. They also thought about winning the first place at the Flower Christmas Festival and becoming the Lady of Flowers.
After all, this Hundred Flowers Christmas is the only place that doesn't look at family status, only talent.
In the first three days of Hundred Flowers Day, the first day is to collect registrations, and the second day is to compete with hundreds of people, and ten will be selected from the hundred.
On the third day, one of the ten people was chosen. The people who voted were the common people, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
In the end, the total votes are added up and the leader is elected as the Lady of Flowers.
Since it is the first of the three days before Hundred Flowers Day, many unmarried women are rushing to sign up, and there are also many unmarried men and women who want to find the right person on Hundred Flowers Day.
They all went to the cloth store to buy good-quality ready-made clothes, or went to the rouge and gouache shop to buy good gouache.
Of course, some people also go to jewelry shops to buy jewelry, and the jewelry here can also be customized.
In addition to being outstanding in the world of clothing, some of the ornaments on clothes, accessories and other gadgets can also be customized in jewelry stores.
Because there were so many people coming out, it was very busy outside.
Liuji Snack Shop, which is famous for its beef sauce, also seized this marketing opportunity and specially organized many discounts on this day, and also prepared many small surprises.
This also attracted many people who came out to buy, whether they were royal nobles or ordinary people, they crowded Liuji's shop for this little surprise, small gift, and various discounts.
The reason why Song Yutong had been in the capital for so long was because she was not familiar with the place and Cheng Hanyan was not in the house, so she didn't go out shopping much for safety reasons.
Now that Mrs. Feng and Yifang are with her, Cheng Hanyan has returned to the capital to work as an errand, and Song Yutong is also in the mood to go out for a walk together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I started shopping, I came across Liu Ji Snack Shop, which was open for sales.
The beef sauce, which has been out of stock, is now available, and there is also a snack called cake, which is said to be made with eggs and milk.
There are also various snacks such as dried fruits and vegetables, which are said to be able to supplement the trace elements missing in the human body.
Of course, there is also something called potato chips.
All these items are available for free trial. If you like them, you can buy them inside.
Mrs. Feng was a little surprised when she saw the items sold in Liu Ji's snack shop.
These things were all made by Song Yutong for her to eat. Mrs. Feng led Yifang forward to try them out.
Then he frowned and turned to Song Yutong, the look in his eyes clearly said, have these people stolen your prescription?
Song Yutong was also surprised and took the initiative to try it.
The taste is indeed the same as what she made, but the texture is slightly inferior.
But when I looked up, I saw that this shop was called Liu Ji Snack Shop, and I heard someone inside shouting that they had some beef sauce, and I immediately laughed.
Before she left the capital, she did give Song Yuqian several recipes, which covered how to make these things, mainly because Old Man Song, Mother Song, Daqiang, Erqiang and Sister Huahua's children all loved eating these snacks.
"Sister Song, did the owner of this shop really steal your recipe? How come he made something that tastes exactly like what you made?"
Mrs. Feng now has a mysterious trust in Song Yutong's craftsmanship and cooking skills.
She felt that as long as someone made something the same as hers, they had stolen Song Yutong's recipe.
Song Yutong smiled and shook his head: "I should have given you this recipe."
Before Mrs. Feng could be surprised, a woman came over with a mocking tone.
"You gave me the recipe? That's really brave to say. Why didn't you say that Liu Ji's snack shop is owned by your family?"
Song Yutong looked at the noble girl who was attacking him inexplicably, with a somewhat innocent look in her eyes.
Where did this clown come from?
"This is the eldest daughter of Yongbo Houfu's family. She has high eyes but low hand. She relies on her marriage contract with the second prince. Her eyes are literally on the top of her forehead. She is used to looking down on others."
Song Yutong suddenly felt a little surprised when she listened to Mrs. Feng's explanation. How could a Yong Bohou Mansion have no real power and get married to the second prince?
She had this doubt in her mind, so she asked.
Mrs. Feng immediately explained, "The current Yong Bohou Mansion is the mother's family of the current Queen Mother. Although it has no real power, it is not someone who can be easily offended."
Mrs. Feng was quietly communicating with Song Yutong.
Over there, Li Wanrong, the eldest daughter of Marquis Yongbo, couldn't hold it any longer, her eyes were wide open and her expression was very coquettish and arrogant.
"What bad things are you whispering about me over there?"
"You didn't hear what we said, so how did you know that we were speaking ill of you?" Song Yutong retorted in a nonchalant manner.
Then he turned to ask Yifang and Mrs. Feng.
"Is there anything you want to buy at Liuji Snack Shop?" If not, she wanted to go shopping elsewhere and didn't want to get into an argument with this unruly rich lady.
"I want to buy a few cans of beef sauce. I finally got the goods, but I don't know if I can get them or not. Since there is a discount today, I will also buy some dried fruits, cakes and so on."
Mrs. Feng is thinking about the Hundred Flowers Day banquet and always prepares some novel food.
"Okay, let's go in and pick some." Song Yutong was busy talking to Mrs. Feng and Yifang, ignoring Li Wanrong who was jumping around.
He really didn't give her any face.
But there are some people who will not provoke you unless you provoke them.
