Come to Daming with military supplies

"Light a candle and make a wish? What does this mean?" The quick-talking minister's daughter looked puzzled and puzzled at the moment.In fact, not only her, many people are not very clear about this new birthday ceremony.

Lady Xue showed her face and smiled. The Sixth Young Master told her the allusions before coming here. Now she is full of confidence and said confidently, "It is said that in the fairyland in the sky, people there The goddess of the moon, Chang'e, is worshiped very much. Every year, a birthday celebration is held for her. At the banquet, cakes made of flour and honey are served, and many lighted candles are inserted on them. They compare the light from the candles to the moon. to express their special worship to the goddess of the moon. Later, when the gods celebrated their children's birthdays, they also liked to put cakes on the table, inserting many lighted candles on the cakes, and adding blowing candles. The content of extinguishing candles. They believe that burning candles have some kind of magical and hidden power. When a birthday person silently makes a wish in their hearts, they can blow out all the candles in one breath, and the wish will come true."

In the story, Artemis was replaced by Chang'e, which was naturally intentional by Yang Chendong.What he wants is that the most mainstream culture in the world in the future will be the Han culture. Even when it comes to gods, it should be mainly the gods of the Han people. This little story is the beginning of a change.

After the story of Mrs. Xue was finished, everyone was very curious. Hu Yan in the crowd leaned into Yang Duo's ear and whispered, "He must have made these things."

"Of course. How about it? You will be happy when you marry in the future. He has a lot of ghost ideas. I guarantee that you will not have a different birthday every year in the future." Yang Duo said jokingly.These days, under the care of her sixth younger brother Yang Chendong, she has become much more lively and cheerful.In the Wang family, there are enough maids around her for her to call, so she doesn't have to look at anyone's face when she is here.Over time, he gradually recovered his original temperament, and he was able to talk and laugh when he was with a familiar person like Hu Yan.

"Oh, Sister Duo'er, what are you talking about, I hate it." Hu Yan blushed and looked shy at this sentence, but only she knew in her heart how much she longed for it now. Married to Yang Chendong.

In the center of the venue, fourteen edible candles of different colors had been inserted on the three-tiered cake. After being lit one by one, Princess Shangde crossed her hands and began to close her eyes and silently make a wish.On the side, Xue Niangzi sang softly with the fourteen girls who had prepared earlier, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"

Amidst the singing of Happy Birthday, Princess Shangde made a wish, and under the gaze of everyone, she lightly opened her red lips, and with the help of Mrs. Xue and other women, she blew out the fourteen lit candles together. Big applause.

After making a wish and blowing out the candles, the next step is to cut the cake.A suitable cutter was handed to Princess Changde long ago, and pieces of cakes of the same size and very well-proportioned were separated out.Princess Changde also gave the first two cut pieces to her brother Zhu Qizhen and sister-in-law Queen Qian.

The other daughters who came to watch the ceremony were also allocated a small piece of cake according to their parents' official positions.Just because it had to be distributed to so many people, a few big cakes were shipped in, but even so, everyone could only eat a small piece.

Fortunately, everyone soon learned from Xue Niangzi and Mu Lili that such a delicious and beautiful cake was already sold in the Immortal House, so it was not a disappointment.But at the same time, these female relatives also made a decision, that is, after returning, they will send someone to the Immortal House to buy a cake to taste.So what if it's not your birthday?Who rules that you can't eat such a delicious thing?

The birthday song was over and the cake was shared.Ordinarily speaking, this birthday party is already perfect, at least it is unprecedented.But this is far from enough in Yang Chendong's eyes, he is very clear why the emperor ordered him to host this event this time, it is nothing more than to cause trouble for himself.

Although he used all kinds of methods and novel things to make the other party find no excuse to seek his own bad luck.But there is no reason in the world to guard against thieves all day long, so he still decided to shed some blood to relieve the pressure brought on him by the emperor.

"Next is the time to present gifts. The following is Yang Xianma's wish for Princess Changde's birthday. Please accept it." As if conjuring, Lady Xue had an extra gift list in her hand, and when she saw everyone's eyes shifted to her On her body, even the emperor Zhu Qizhen's eyes seemed to look at her unintentionally, she first smiled sweetly, then waved to the outside of the field, and then said in a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler, "He Changde For the princess's birthday, Yang Chendong sent ten mirrors, fifty boxes of transparent glasses (four per box), one hundred bottles of perfume, five hundred sets of soap, and one thousand pieces of toilet paper from Yang Chendong.

After singing for a while, many eunuchs in the palace carried the things read on the gift list into the arena one by one outside the arena, and they were quickly piled up like a hill.

Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was standing not far away, watched these things appear in front of him, and his expression that was still rigid finally became relieved.These are all extremely sought-after items, and some of them are even sold in limited quantities, which belong to the kind that cannot be bought with money.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth 10 taels.

Obviously, this is Yang Chendong's attitude.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the princess's birthday, she took the initiative to give gifts and benefits to the royal family.Such other courtiers can't say anything. With these things, whether they are used by themselves or used to reward the courtiers, or even sold for silver, he can be the master.

With the delivery of these gifts, Zhu Qizhen's mood became better, and he decided not to do anything against Yang Chendong.To put it bluntly, he is the emperor, and the world belongs to him.The reason why they want to target Yang Chendong is that he is too popular, and he is a little envious.Now that I have benefited, such thoughts are of course not so serious.

The gifts brought up naturally amazed the female relatives. All of them stared wide-eyed, looking at the birthday princess Changde Princess with envy and jealousy.But at this moment, as today's protagonist, the third princess' eyes are on a small and beautiful box that is not much bigger than a palm.

It was a box with a delicate doll on it. When the switch was flipped, the doll on the box began to rotate and move its limbs, and a song equivalent to the birthday song slowly sounded.To put it bluntly, this is a very common birthday music box in later generations, and the market price is only a dozen yuan.

But at this moment, appearing here is undoubtedly the rarest and most precious gift.

As soon as the box appeared, especially the function of automatically playing music, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All the female relatives looked at the box with admiration and surprise, and there was a strong longing in their eyes.

"What is this? How can it be made so delicate and beautiful?" A female family member in the crowd couldn't help but make a sound of admiration, and when she thought that this thing was a gift from Dong Shuai, she hurriedly asked the person holding the gift list Snow Maiden.

Today's Xue Niangzi can be said to have stole the limelight.

Although she was also an oiran before, in the eyes of many people, she was still a low-ranking existence.Especially in the eyes of these female family members, it is easy to be dubbed as vixen, witch, and whore.Maybe he still has some reputation in his own garden, but if he really stands with the daughters of these ministers and dignitaries, he will definitely be the object of everyone's shouting and beating.

Even in her dreams, Lady Xue never imagined that one day she would be surrounded by so many nobles. These female relatives didn't mean to dislike her, on the contrary they rushed to talk to her, and there were even quite a few who showed their affection.

All of this, in the final analysis, was brought to her by Dong Shuai. At this moment, Xue Niangzi became more determined to follow Ding Dong Shuai's footsteps and never leave her for the rest of her life.

"Yang Xima calls this thing a birthday music box. This box can actively play nice music, which is just suitable for such a happy day as Princess Changde's birthday." Xue Niangzi explained to the girls with a smile on her face.

"Such a good thing, I wonder if Shenxianju also sells it?" After hearing that it was a birthday music box, the female relatives were moved in their hearts, and at the same time, they were eager to know where such a good thing can be bought.

"I'm sorry, there isn't one." Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Niangzi shook her head regretfully, "Everyone said it just now, this is a good thing. In fact, it was Yang Xima who brought people from the barbarians at sea. I came here, and spent a full 3 taels of silver just for this one thing, so there is still a price but no market? We, Ming, only have this one at present."

"Ah! It's so expensive."

"It's a bit expensive, but compared to its efficacy, it's not too much."

"Oh, when I celebrate my birthday, if any man can give me such a thing, then I'm really satisfied, that's it, that's it"

"I'm willing to make a promise with my body, isn't it. This girl is in love with her, hehehe."

Immediately, various voices came from the crowd, and for a while, some people laughed and fought together because of this.

Hu Yan also happened to hear what Xue Niangzi said in the crowd, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face involuntarily.

When she saw this birthday music box just now, she fell in love with it.I also wonder if I can get such a thing when I celebrate my birthday.But when she heard that there was only one of them in the entire Ming Dynasty, she knew that her thoughts were extravagant.

1 Chapter Twenty

Compared to the disappointment of other female family members, Princess Shangde was indeed very happy.There is only one copy of such a good thing in the entire Ming Dynasty, which shows the importance of this one. As a result, she became more curious about Yang Chendong who gave the gift.

Why did he give such a valuable thing to himself?

Is it just because she is a princess?But what if the other princesses also asked Yang Chendong to hold a birthday party?What will he do?

Good things piled up like a hill made a perfect sentence for the birthday party, and then, the female relatives used some other food, and went out of the palace in twos and threes to their own mansion.

Hu Yan also returned to the Hu Mansion in a carriage.As soon as he entered the door, the maid Xiaoqing greeted her with a mysterious face, "Miss, miss, go back to the room and have a look. Dong Shuai will send you a big box."

"Big box? It was sent by Dong Shuai." Hearing this, Hu Yan couldn't help speeding up her feet, and returned to her boudoir as if trotting.Then she opened the box with curiosity and excitement, and a birthday music box bigger than the one Princess Shande got was displayed in front of her.

On the top of the box is a rotating wooden horse. When the switch is flicked, the beautiful melody of the birthday song will sound immediately. Hu Yan is so happy that she can't put it down.

"Miss, what is this thing? It can make a sound by itself, and it's so delicate?" Xiaoqing's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Hu Yan, who was startled, turned around and blocked her mouth.She clearly remembered what Xue Niangzi said, the only one in the whole Daming.

Now, with a better birthday music box in his hands, isn't Yang Chendong guilty of deceiving the emperor?

"Xiaoqing, forget everything you saw just now. No matter who asks, you can't say that you have seen such a thing, you know?" Hu Yan said very seriously.Xiao Qingyun, who was listening directly, was in a fog, growing up so big, it was the first time she saw the young lady talking to herself so solemnly.

After arranging Xiaoqing not to talk nonsense, Hu Yan carried the beautiful music box to the bedside, opened the quilt, and plunged into it.By doing this, the voice can no longer be transmitted, and she can also enjoy this wonderful voice to herself.Of course, the sweeter thing is still in her heart. Through this incident, she knows that Dong Shuai's heart is hers, and this is the happiest thing.

When Hu Yan was thinking about Dong Shuai, Yang Chendong had already left the palace and returned to Yangjiazhuang.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of the manor gate, Yang Chendong took off his fifth-rank official uniform, and said to Humang who was beside him, "The news came out that the young master fell off his horse and needed to rest for a while."

"Ah! Young Master, where did you really fall?" Humang was shocked when he heard the news suddenly, and looked closely at Yang Chendong.

"You were with me all the way, where did you see the young master fall off the horse? This is just a way to be quiet." Yang Chendong smiled wryly and shook his head.But I also know that this is because Humang cares too much about himself, so he lost his basic judgment.

"Oh, oh." Humang then smirked, scratched his head with his hands, agreed, and then turned to work.It didn't take long for many people in the capital to know that the sixth young master of the Yang family fell and was injured because he rode his horse too fast.

The matter reached Wang Zhen's ears through Jin Yiwei. He was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "This is hiding things! That's fine, too outstanding is not a good thing. It seems that , but also to let the emperor know."

When Wang Zhen went to see Zhu Qizhen and told about Yang Chendong's fall from the horse, the young emperor quickly figured out the joints, and said with a smile, "It seems that I was the one who told Yang Xima There are too many concerns, and this kind of concern makes him unbearable. That's all, that's it, arrange for an imperial doctor to go and see, just as I said, allow him to take a good rest for a while."

After holding a birthday party and presenting a luxurious gift, he finally got rid of Zhu Qizhen's "concern", and Yang Chendong was able to breathe a sigh of relief.I thought I could take a good rest and do what I wanted to do, but the situation did not allow it. In February of the 14th year of Zhengtong, the leader of the Mongolian Oala tribe also sent his younger brother King Saikan to the capital of Daming as an envoy. Tribute, but actually came to ask for it.

When it comes to Wala, one person cannot and cannot be bypassed, and he is the leader of Wala.

In the third year of Zhengtong, Atai Khan, who had fled abroad, was captured and killed by Tuo Huan, and the Mongolian plateau was reunified in the hands of the Oirats.So far, Tuo Huan has laid the foundation for his son to rule the roost first, and after Tuo Huan's death, he will also succeed to the throne first.
