There are few people in the house, which has the advantage of having few people in the house.
In addition, Wang Zi'an didn't like the drama of his servants getting up in the middle of the night to kowtow to him for New Year's greetings. Therefore, although he followed the Tang Dynasty people's New Year customs and observed the New Year for the first time, he canceled Gu Zhong's arrangement.
Let’s have fun during the New Year.
Therefore, he took several apprentices who were also bachelors and spent most of the night beating the emperor quietly.
All the way outside, the sound of firecrackers became louder and louder, far and near, thousands of lights began to light up, the bells and drums on the top of Chang'an City rang slowly, echoing the bells of major temples, and a few people ended the card game with great satisfaction.
.
To be precise, the disciples were still unfinished, and Wang Zi'an - well, let's put it this way, the results of Wang Zi'an's side can be summed up as follows: in the early stage, there was a lot of abuse, in the later stage, there were back and forth, and at the end, there were two small losses.
"No fighting, that's it for now - well, I have to go to the palace to attend the court meeting later, so I can't waste time. Let's go outside and light firecrackers..."
Wang Zi'an slammed the cards in his hand on the table, stood up first, and walked out.
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai looked at the explosive cards in their hands and put them on the table reluctantly. It was a pity that they lost a good card. However, the master was right, business matters were still important.
The two men and Ma Zhou also got up one after another and followed them outside.
Li Yifu, who was walking at the end, saw that no one was paying attention, so he secretly looked at the cards that his husband had put on the table, and then he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. When he was leaving the house, he casually walked across the card table with his arm.
In an instant, the poker cards each held were in a mess.
After leaving the card table, Wang Zi'an turned around and ordered everyone in the kitchen to place a portion of dumplings, and asked Su Feier to call Wu Zetian as well. When eating dumplings on New Year's Day, no one should be missing.
He took several of his apprentices and ran to the yard to continue setting off explosions.
There was crackling, crackling, continuous smoke, and a red light and shadow effect, which gave Wang Zi'an the pleasure of secretly tapping the neighbors' wheat straw piles when he was a child.
While clicking, I also held a long bamboo pole and stirred it inside.
Full of interest.
As soon as there is movement here, people will know that the master is awake. The entire Hou Mansion becomes lively in an instant.
The door opened, and all the maids and servants put on brand new clothes. Under the leadership of Gu Zhong, they went to the front yard to wish Wang Zian a happy new year. Here Wang Zian was leading his apprentices to make explosions, and he smiled and waved when he saw this.
He waved his hand.
"Happy New Year everyone, and may you make a fortune——"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he picked up a few bamboo poles that were not fully burned and looked at the crackling sparks.
"Uncle Gu, each person will seal a red envelope for everyone. It will be regarded as my lucky money for everyone - well, I won't give out more, so I will ask for a lucky draw and send you an 888 message..."
As soon as Wang Zi'an said this, a group of people cheered and thanked him.
888 articles is actually quite a lot.
Before the Marquis came, people like myself could only spend one or two hundred coins in the house for a month.
Seeing everyone happy, Wang Zi'an himself felt very happy.
Different from the miserable situation in his previous life, now he has financial freedom, and money is just a number to him. If Li Shimin hadn't told him privately, he couldn't give money to these servants lavishly, and be careful about Shengmi Endoumi.
Qiu, he thinks it doesn't matter if he sends more messages.
After a while, Xue Rengui and his wife also came over to wish Prince An happy New Year.
Wu Zetian, who had changed into a beautiful cotton jacket, brand new fox fur, and leather boots, also came over under the leadership of Su Feier, and happily wished the prince a happy new year.
Wang Zi'an brought the little one over with a smile, peeled a piece of sorghum candy with his own hands and stuffed it into her mouth, and then invited everyone to eat sweets.
"Come, let's all come together to celebrate the New Year. In the new year, everyone will have a sweet time..."
Several apprentices and Mrs. Liu also laughed, and one of them picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
This sorghum glutinous rice cake is soft and glutinous, and tastes so good that several people couldn't help but praise it.
"Mr. Gu, what kind of good thing is this? Where did you buy it? Why haven't I seen it in the market?"
While Xi Junmai was eating, he couldn't help but curiously asked Gu Zhong, who was waiting next to him.
Because my master respects this butler very much, Uncle Gu, who is always silent, so these disciples of Wang Zi'an also respect this butler very much. They cannot follow their master and call him Uncle Gu, and it is not appropriate to call him Master Gu, so they call him in a unique way.
He takes care of the elderly.
Gu Zhong refused several times, but to no avail, so he simply let it go.
However, the title is a title, but the rules are never exceeded, and they are even more respected.
"Back to the young master, this thing is called sorghum glutinous rice. We made it according to the instructions of our Lord Marquis. It is the only one in the Marquis of Chang'an. Even if you have money outside, you can buy it——"
Speaking of this, although Gu Zhong bent down slightly, his energy level was much higher than when he straightened his chest.
To put it bluntly, the current Chang'an Hou's Palace has almost become the weathervane of Chang'an's food industry. As long as the Chang'an Hou's products are produced, it will immediately become popular throughout Chang'an.
As soon as these servants of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion go out, a group of people will come up to ask for news, and they want to get some fresh information. Now they are all looking at each other with their nostrils, so don't mention their pride.
Already.
As he said this, masters and disciples Yun Xuzi and Qingxuanzi also rushed over to wish the prince happy New Year.
He also specially gave me two manuscripts of Taoist books.
Wang Zi'an smiled and stood up to greet him. He stretched out his hands to take the scriptures solemnly, turned around and handed them to Su Feier, asking her to put them away carefully.
As for whether he can understand this thing?
Is it important?
He doesn’t look at it anyway…
Seeing that everyone was here, Wang Zi'an also started to give out red envelopes to everyone, and it was much more simple and rude to give to the apprentices.
888 string pocket money per person, plus a set of primary school textbooks.
It's a pity that there is no place to sell exercise books, otherwise he might be able to give away several sets of papers per person.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yun Xuzi and Qing Xuanzi each presented two exquisitely crafted Taoist robes, a fine whisk, and a banner that read "Quiet and inaction, Taoism follows nature".
Wang Zi'an's calligraphy can no longer be described as a piece of gold. Except for a few people who are friends with Wang Zi'an and have received calligraphy works from Wang Zi'an, there are no calligraphy works by Wang Zi'an on the market.
However, from Li Shimin onwards, all the dignitaries and dignitaries highly praised him. Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan and other recognized masters of calligraphy also publicly stated on many occasions that their calligraphy was not as good as Chang'an Hou Yuan.
Those students in the Imperial College who had seen Wang Zi'an's banner became superstitious about Wang Zi'an's calligraphy.
As a result, due to the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the price of Wang Zi'an's calligraphy works has reached an eye-popping level outside. Many people came to buy it at any cost, but Wang Zi'an directly rejected them.
It's not that he thinks he's noble.
Rather, writing and painting is now considered a small leisure hobby for his own entertainment. He does not want his small leisure hobby to become a means of making money.
Because now, I am not short of money or the means to make money, so there is really no need to bother myself for a little money.
Although the two old Taoist priests did not know the value of Wang Zi'an's work, they still had good taste and knew that it was a rare treasure. Therefore, after taking it, they solemnly thanked them again and again.
The breakfast on New Year's Day was actually lackluster.
It’s just one dumpling per person, a stack of Laba garlic per person, and a few delicious side dishes.
However, you can choose the fillings of the dumplings at will.
There are many types of pork, mutton, donkey, venison and of course vegetarian stuffings.
Wang Zi'an ordered a pork and leek dish, mainly because in his previous life, his most extravagant wish was to have a bite of pork and leek dumplings made by his family, but unfortunately he could rarely eat them.
After breakfast, Wang Zi'an began to change clothes and prepare for his first court meeting.
Yesterday, someone from the palace specially came to inform him that he would attend the court meeting today. Wang Zi'an was actually quite new to this. After all, it was his first time to participate in this——
Seeing his master, he changed his clothes excitedly.
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai couldn't help but look at each other and asked cautiously.
"Master, are you really going today?"
While Wang Zi'an was adjusting the jade belt around his waist, he glanced at them sideways and replied casually.
"Ah, otherwise - the emperor specially asked someone to notify me, can I not go?"
Wang Xuance and Xi Jun sighed and fell silent.
Ah, this——
If Master finds out that Shopkeeper Li is actually His Majesty, will he come back to deal with him?
When they thought about this problem, both of them felt their scalps go numb.
In fact, since the last time Jieli Khan was captured and received personally by Li Shimin, this problem has begun to trouble the two of them. On one side is the master who is so kind to him, and on the other side is the current majesty.
It’s so difficult——
When I saw these two bitches, they looked at me secretly from time to time, their faces full of anxiety.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel secretly happy, I let you help Li Shimin, that bitch emperor, to smother me, I deserve it!
However, he was not really angry. After all, today's situation was all Li Shimin's fault. It was really difficult for his two disciples to be caught in the middle.
After changing my clothes, I stood in front of the mirror and looked back and forth.
I couldn't help but admire it secretly.
"What a handsome young man——"
Gu Zhong had already had Wang Zi'an's dragon-coloured horse waiting nearby. Wang Zi'an didn't even go down the steps, so he took a slight step and flew lightly from the room onto the horse's back.
That handsome and unrestrained posture almost fascinated me.
With the horse's reins attached, the dragon colt whinnied loudly and turned its head.
Just when Wang Zi'an was about to leave, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai suddenly rushed up from the steps and reached out to grab the reins of Wang Zi'an's horse. Wang Zi'an raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the two cheap apprentices.
"What's wrong--"
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai couldn't help but look at each other and swallowed secretly.
"Master, I'm meeting the Holy Spirit today - if, if I see something weird, I hope Master won't be nervous..."
Wang Xuance carefully accompanied Smiley and tried his best to vaccinate his master in advance.
Master, we can only help you so far.
His Majesty personally ordered not to disclose his identity. What else can we do?
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
joke?
I am nervous?
This time, I went to attend the imperial meeting. Who was nervous? It’s really hard to say.
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Li Junxian, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, each of these idiots pretends to be in front of themselves every day and plays role-playing. This time, they dare to inform themselves
It's really brave to come to attend the Great Court.
This time, I'll see how you play!
A showdown on the spot, a collective death, or some new trick?
Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. If I really want to die, it won't be me alone.
Thinking in his mind, he glanced at Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, who were all worried, with a calm expression, and said with a smile.
"I'm just meeting the emperor, not my father-in-law. What should I be nervous about-"
Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai:...
Ah, this——
Okay, Master, just go all the way!
It's actually very close from Chongrenfang to the Imperial City.
I originally thought that when I entered the imperial city, I would have to inquire about the way. However, when I left my house, I realized that I had thought too much. On the road, wearing official uniforms and rushing to attend the imperial meeting, it turned out to be
There is an endless stream of people, so just follow the crowd.
At this time, in the imperial city, although there were lanterns everywhere, the light was not much better. It was pitch black, and as long as they were not acquaintances, few people would be able to recognize them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, even so, Wang Zi'an still looks a bit dazzling because his dragon colt is so tall, more than a head taller than an ordinary horse.
It's like a Rolls-Royce among a group of Altos.
Walking along the way, it really attracted the attention of many people.
But by now we had arrived in the imperial city, and no one dared to make any noise, but it did not cause much commotion.
Wang Zi'an followed the flow of people and walked silently to the palace gate. At this time, Wang Zi'an realized that he had been hasty, because horses and carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, and others were taking their followers with them. He took his own carriage or horse to the followers.
Just throw it away and you're done.
However, he couldn't do it, he didn't bring any followers -
In the end, I still suffered the loss of inexperience.
He looked around, trying to find an acquaintance, but he didn't know if the people he knew had arrived early and had already gone in, or what. Anyway, he couldn't find an acquaintance. After thinking about it, he found that everyone was decent.
People, no one would steal anything here, right?
So, he took his dragon and colt, found a slightly remote railing and tied it there.
The guards who had been paying attention to his movements from a distance could not help but bared their teeth.
I have been on duty here for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen someone dare to tie a horse at the palace gate. Do you think we are blind——
Which family did this stupid young man come from?
Wang Zi'an looked a little unfamiliar, but the eye-catching purple official uniform of Wang Zi'an made them dare not offend him rashly, so they had no choice but to go over and cup his hands.
"I'm sorry, this——noble man, horses are not allowed to be tied in front of the palace gate. Please move aside——"
Wang Zi’an:……
He looked around and realized that except for himself, there were no horses or carriages stopped in front of the palace gate. Those who came with servants, after sending their master to the palace gate,
He just led the mount away——
Ah, this——
Looking at the two guards standing in front of him, Wang Zian couldn't help but scratch his head.
