Mingruo was curious about what those girls threw into the basket: "Is it a purse?"
"Most of them are purses, but there are also velvet flowers and jade pendants." They come here every three years. Princess Ningping has seen this since she was a child, so she is very familiar with this link. "One year, Tan Hua Lang was very handsome, and he collected ten
There are many baskets of goods in the purse. In the past, three or five baskets would be considered a good harvest."
"This year's flower hunters have also gained a lot. Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, look, the boy has replaced the full basket with an empty one." Princess Ningping pointed downstairs.
"Let me take a look." Mingruo stuck his head out and looked down. Huh? He's still an acquaintance. Isn't this Mrs. Zhu's younger brother Shi Zhongcheng? He is his 'old patient', and he actually got admitted to the top tier.
I saw Mr. Shi wearing a vermilion flying fish suit and a high crown on his head. He looked majestic and much more handsome than the plain-looking number one scholar.
This is an acquaintance, so I need to support her. Mingruo looked at the purse on her waist, Zi Suxin had embroidered it for her, and she couldn’t bear to part with it. The jade pendant next to her was made of fine imperial green jade material, and she couldn’t bear to part with it! As for the velvet flowers, I’m sorry, she
I have never loved him, no...
Mingruo rolled his eyes and saw the rice dumplings on the table. It was the Dragon Boat Festival, so it would be appropriate to send some rice dumplings, right? Mingruo caught the rice dumplings and threw them down one by one. Mingruo had good eyesight, and although the distance was a bit far away, he was still accurate.
some.
At the beginning, Shi Zhongcheng and the boy were a little confused when they saw the rice dumplings falling from the sky - they were not throwing purses and velvet flowers, so why were they throwing rice dumplings?
Shi Zhongcheng grew up in a merchant's family and was very pragmatic since he was a child. He felt that the rice dumplings were much more useful than the purse velvet flowers. When they were taken back, they could be distributed to the beggars to fill their bellies. On the contrary, those purse velvet flowers were neither kept nor thrown away.
It was so tasteless. Shi Zhongcheng didn't know who threw the rice dumplings to him, so he just hugged his fists upstairs.
Everyone found that someone was throwing rice dumplings to Tanhua Lang. Not only was he not angry, he seemed quite happy. This opened the door to a new world for the girls who were not very wealthy at home - they threw tens of coins in their wallets and velvet flowers.
I can’t afford it. But two rice dumplings worth fifteen cents are fine!
For a time, the supply of rice dumplings at the surrounding stalls exceeded the demand. Shi Zhongcheng's two boys were really reluctant to pick up the rice dumplings. After all, the rice dumplings were not as light and heavy as the purse velvet flowers. Moreover, looking at this posture, the empty basket was replaced by another one.
Another one. It is estimated that it will soon break the previous record of ten baskets of gifts by the flower hunter.
"Hahaha..." Princess Ningping couldn't stop laughing, "Sister-in-law of Nine Emperors, are you here to cause trouble?"
"..." Mingruo didn't expect that things would develop like this. Thinking about the number one scholar and the number two surrounded by purses and velvet flowers, Shi Zhongcheng was buried in rice dumplings... It's really... not good...
Si Haochen pushed open the door and entered, followed by Prince Hong.
"Brother Jiuhuang, brother, you are here." Princess Ningping immediately shared with them that Mingruo was teasing people. (Mingruo: I really wasn't teasing Shi Zhongcheng...)
"You are so naughty~" Si Haochen didn't think it was wrong at all for the little princess to play tricks on others, but he just didn't like her throwing things to other people's men, well, not even Zongzhen.
"Ahem." Regarding the result of 'naughty', Mingruo rejected it in her heart, "Do you want me to throw money at him?"
Si Haochen expressed one meaning with his eyes - you dare!
Mingruo spreads his hands and expresses - So, what's wrong with me throwing rice dumplings?
Si Haochen:......
The final of the dragon boat race began. Mingruo and Princess Ningping were lying at the window watching the dragon boat race. On the first day of the year, he came in from the outside and whispered to Si Haochen: "Master, there is a fire outside the North City Gate..."
Si Haochen raised his eyebrows: "What are those locations?"
"Yes." Chu nodded.
Others don't know it, but Mingruo knows it very well. Beichi people have buried a lot of "earth bombs" outside the imperial capital. This time they encountered an open fire...
Mingruo turned to look at Si Haochen, who gave her a reassuring smile. Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that after learning about the power of the gunpowder, Si Haochen personally took people to deal with it.
.
After the dragon boat race ended, people who had been bustling all morning went to the restaurants along the street to have lunch. It soon spread that the fire on the Dragon Boat Festival was a divine punishment from heaven.
Unfortunately, the fire did not cause a large-scale explosion and was quickly extinguished. This 'divine punishment' was nothing to go on.
On the Dragon Boat Festival in Donghuan, it is customary for women to go back to their parents' home to hide in the afternoon. Mrs. Su had sent a post to the palace the day before, so Mingruo took Si Haochen directly to the Duke of Jingguo's palace to have dinner.
Since it was the Dragon Boat Festival, realgar wine was prepared during the banquet. During the banquet, everyone was full of praise for the rice dumplings that Ming Ruo had delivered in the morning. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Grandma Ji took away the remaining seats and arranged them again.
Fragrant tea and fresh fruits were served.
I saw the butler hurried into the dining room: "My lord, the old lady, and Eunuch Zhang from the palace are here."
Mrs. Su's brows twitched. What was the person doing in the palace during lunch? It couldn't be that something happened to Yurou!
Mrs. Su was a little anxious: "Please come in quickly!"
"yes."
Zhang Jinliang quickly came to the dining room and saw Prince Yun at the Duke of Jingguo's residence. His heart skipped a beat - if the emperor knew about it, he would lose his temper again.
The Duke of Jingguo's residence already has a large population, plus Prince Yun and the princess. Today, several generals and major generals are at the residence. They just went out to drink wine. When they heard people from the palace coming, they all returned to the dining room.
Zhang Jinliang didn't care about talking about business. He felt dizzy just by saluting. He thought to himself, maybe the masters of the Duke's Mansion were deliberately trying to trouble him. Wouldn't it be nice if they all sat together? They had to come one by one...
"Eunuch Zhang, let's get down to business." Old Guo Gong knew that his wife was worried, so she was impatient.
"Yes." Zhang Jinliang felt aggrieved. Your family has a large population and you have to rely on me. "There is an urgent report coming from the border. His Royal Highness Prince Xuanyun and the Duke of Guo are discussing matters in the study room."
Zhang Jinliang smiled extremely flatteringly at Si Haochen: "His Royal Highness Prince Yun is also here, which saves me from having to make another trip to the palace."
Border Army Reporter Si Haochen knew this, because before Ming Ming wanted to go on an expedition together, the old Duke also got wind of it.
But the whole show needs to be done. The old Duke said solemnly: "Eunuch Zhang, does he know what the military newspaper said?"
"This old slave doesn't know." Zhang Jinliang said quickly, "Please ask His Royal Highness Prince Yun and the Duke of Guo to enter the palace quickly to meet the Holy Spirit."
"Let me change into court clothes." The old man went back to the backyard to change.
Si Haochen squeezed Mingruo's little hand: "You stay here, waiting for me to come back to pick you up."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded obediently.
Zhang Jinliang was waiting in front of the palace carriage at the entrance of the mansion. He was dumbfounded when he saw Prince Yun and Duke Jing get on their horses. He quickly got on the carriage and asked the little eunuch who was driving the carriage to follow. Eunuch Zhang was almost distracted.
