During dinner in the evening, Princess Rong Zhao also talked about this matter.
In special times and special circumstances, everyone is not so particular and eats at a big table.
The seventh prince has Liang Ci on his left, Lu Xingyue on his right, Shen Lansui and Rong Zhao sitting together.
Rong Zhao said: "We can only celebrate the New Year in Wanguan City this year. Is there anything you want? I'll ask people from Yangdu to send it."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Lansui.
Shen Lansui pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have anything in particular, but if possible, I would like to buy more fireworks from a nearby city."
Rong Zhao's eyes lit up, "Yes, after this catastrophe, we must have a lively and lively celebration, set off more fireworks, and make the people happy."
"Well, let's buy some more materials to make Kongming lanterns and put them up together. It may only happen once in a lifetime. We want to leave some special memories."
Shen Lansui had even imagined the spectacular and beautiful scene in his mind, with a hint of yearning in his eyes.
Rong Zhao nodded, "After dinner, I'll have someone prepare it."
The two of them were studying hard, while the other three men looked on with smiles.
The Seventh Prince thought for a moment and said, "We must have a good meal on New Year's Eve. Regardless of whether we are king or minister, the three of us will not return home until we are drunk!"
Lu Xingyue and Liang Ci looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.
If other princes said this, they would definitely think about it.
But they had clearly seen the seventh prince's character during this period, and knew that he simply regarded them as friends when he said this and had no other intentions, so they happily agreed.
After eating, the Seventh Prince and Rong Zhao made a list and sent people to buy things needed for the New Year.
He also submitted a memorial to Emperor Hui'an, detailing the situation in Wanguan City, explaining the reasons why they could not come back, and asking about the health of Emperor Hui'an and the Queen.
After reading this, Emperor Hui'an nodded happily, and immediately waved his hand to send carts of New Year's goods to Wanguan City.
After this period of treatment, there are fewer and fewer people in the isolation area, and more and more people have recovered. After recovery, those who are capable have also joined the ranks of helping, cooking and washing clothes for the patients.
Everyone was enjoying themselves and the previous decadence was gone.
On New Year's Eve, everyone started moving before dawn.
Shen Lansui opened her eyes and found that there was no one around her. She hugged the quilt and sat up, shouting. The person who came in was Liu Yan. She was holding a set of sapphire blue clothes embroidered with gold thread in her hand, with red ones on top. cloak.
"Ma'am, you're awake."
Shen Lansui yawned sleepily, "Where is your Lord Marquis?"
"The Marquis took people to see the house early in the morning, and he went door to door pasting window grilles and blessing characters."
Liu Yan put the clothes beside the bed and said with a smile: "Slave, please help Madam change clothes?"
Shen Lansui came to her senses and nodded, "Okay."
After putting on new clothes and sitting in front of the dressing table, she subconsciously picked up the silver hairpin she used every day. Liu Yan quickly stopped her and said, "It's thirty this year, so I have to dress up more festively. Madam, please don't wear this hairpin. Weirdly shabby.”
Shen Lansui couldn't help laughing, "Pure silver, how can it be so shabby?"
"It's too plain!" Liu Yan opened the jewelry box and said, "It's okay to be a little plain in normal times, but today is such a great day, I have to look like I'm celebrating."
As she spoke, she picked out a few exquisite and noble hairpins with beads and flowers.
"Yes, then let's dress up properly." Shen Lansui thought about it and thought it made sense, and then said: "I'll take out the rouge and gouache later, and then we'll put on makeup. After putting the makeup on, we'll put the things in my medicine box. I'll Take it out."
"Ah?" Liu Yan was puzzled, "Why did Madam take the rouge and gouache out?"
Shen Lansui looked at the radiant beauty in the mirror and smiled, "Let's put on makeup for everyone."

When Shen Lansui went out, Princess Rong Zhao hadn't gotten up yet, so she went to the quarantine area without calling her.
The common people had also gotten up early. They were lighting fires and hanging lanterns. They were very busy. When they saw her, they stopped to say hello.
Many people were so amazed that they couldn't take their eyes away.
Shen Lansui responded with a smile and walked straight into the isolation room.
When the people inside heard the movement, they all looked around, and their original chatter and laughter suddenly stopped.
The sun fell from behind Shen Lansui, shining on her red cloak, creating a soft and bright halo, which made her complexion look great. With the bright and delicate tassels on her head, she looked very noble. As she moved, the cloak spread slightly, revealing a bit of royal blue clothes.
His face was still the same, but his temperament was completely different. For a time, no one dared to speak loudly for fear of startling this god-like person.
However, when Shen Lan smiled, she was the familiar Doctor Shen again.
"How are you feeling today?"
A young girl said: "It's much better, I don't have a cough today."
Shen Lansui walked over and touched her head, and said with a smile: "How about my sister give you a nice make-up today?"
Love of beauty is natural and has nothing to do with age. The little girl immediately became happy, "Is it true?"
Shen Lansui turned to look at the others and said: "Today I brought rouge and gouache. It's the Chinese New Year. We must have a new look and a good complexion. Anyone who wants to be transformed can come and line up next to me. Don't be embarrassed. Women are not only for If you like your appearance, you can be beautiful for yourself and feel comfortable looking at yourself."
"well said."
Rong Zhao's voice came from outside the door, and Shen Lansui was startled when he saw her coming in carrying a basket covered with red cloth.
The people knew she was a princess and stood up to salute.
Rong Zhao waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I am just like you today. We are a family that shares weal and woe. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority."
She opened the red cloth and found red velvet flowers inside, which were lifelike and very beautiful.
"How can you not wear flowers on New Year's Eve?" Rong Zhao walked up to Shen Lansui and looked at her, then took out a flower from the basket and inserted it on Shen Lansui's temples, "Do you think it looks good to you? "
"nice!"
The little girl applauded and looked at Rong Zhao expectantly, "Sister Beauty, can you give me one?"
"Of course, everyone has a share." Rong Zhao took out one and inserted it into the little girl's pussy. After looking at it, he felt it was asymmetrical, so he took another one and inserted it into the other side, and then he was satisfied.
"You're welcome, there are many velvet flowers, one for each person is more than enough." Rong Zhao put down the basket and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of royal guards came in from the door, each holding a basket.
Seeing this, everyone became excited and stepped forward to receive a red flower and put it on, then queued up to Shen Lansui's side to wait to put on makeup.
The entire quarantine area became lively.
It's steaming outside, the smell of meat is overflowing, and there's laughter and joy inside.
After a busy morning, the girls arranged flowers and painted flowers when they went out, looking in high spirits.
In the afternoon, Wanguan City was almost fully decorated, with endless colorful silk lanterns and happy words on the windows everywhere. At this point, Shen Lan finally felt a little more like celebrating the New Year.
