?"Xiaohang~! Where are you going~!"
"Go pick flowers~!"
"Why are you picking flowers~?"
"The flowers you pick can be taken to Yonglefang in exchange for chickens to eat. Didn't you read today's newspaper~?"
"Uh~! I didn't see it. Is it really such a good thing?"
"Of course, but you have to get a copy of "Datang Daily" first, and then go pick flowers. Don't worry, today's "Datang Daily" is free, no need to spend money~"
"Oh~! Then I'll go now!"
Similar conversations take place in almost every corner of Chang'an City. Maybe rich people will not take a piece of chicken seriously, but in any era, rich people are always in the minority. Moreover, now that the world has been settled, the people are far away. People are far less wealthy than the people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so now there are still many, many people who are curious about their portion of chicken.
"Hey hey hey~! I saw this flower first, Ni Zuokai!"
"I saw you fart first!"
In the western suburbs of Chang'an, two naughty children pushed each other over an unknown purple wild flower.
It's not that they are stingy, or that they are too lazy to find other flowers, but that thousands of people who came out of Chang'an City today are crazy. They are like "locusts passing through the border". Wherever they pass, there are "flowers" No, originally in this season, there were a lot of various flowers in the fields in the suburbs, but now if you look around, you can basically only see a few scattered small wild flowers, and it is difficult to put together a bouquet.
"Obviously it was me first!"
"Me first! Me first!"
Just when the two naughty children were about to fight, a middle-aged man carrying a basket came and shouted loudly:
"Ahem~! Why are you two so ignorant? Isn't it just a bouquet of flowers~? I just pulled out two more plants in the mountain. I'll give you one. Stop fighting~!"
When the two naughty children heard this, they stopped immediately. One of them reached out to take the bouquet handed over by the middle-aged man, and then thanked him: "Thank you, uncle, you are a good person~!"
"Yeah~! Thank you, uncle!"
Another naughty kid also echoed.
"Haha~! That's right~! Go and change the chicken you're eating~!"
The middle-aged man scratched his head and laughed.
……………………
"No~! Here it is, boss! These are the flowers I picked. Can you take a look at them?"
Yongle Square, the back door of Li Mansion.
There are already six long queues lined up in this alley. It is really as far as the eye can see. The hot summer cannot stop these people's enthusiasm for "eating chicken".
The person in charge of today's "eating chicken" activity is Ma Zhou. In order to avoid this activity affecting the guests who come to Li's house for the banquet, Ma Zhou specially arranged the place where he can pick up the chicken to eat at the back door of Li's house. This way there will be no congestion at the front door.
"Well, yes, then you can send a blessing to our lord and leave your name on it, and you can receive a piece of chicken for free!"
The man behind the table took the bouquet, looked at it and said.
"Uh~! My name is Wang Dapeng, and I wish Mr. Li a happy wedding! Is that okay?"
The man who came to receive the chicken he chewed spent a long time mumbling and came up with such an old-fashioned blessing. He was obviously uneducated!
The person in charge of handing out chickens for nibbling didn’t laugh at him. He just said: “Okay, here is paper and pen. Do you write it yourself or do I write it~?”
"You write! You write! My handwriting is not pretty!"
The man waved his hands quickly.
"Haha, that's good!"
The person in charge smiled lightly. Apparently he had met many similar people today. He picked up the pen and finished writing in a few "swish, swish, swish" strokes. Then he put the note into the bouquet and handed it behind him. The boy then took out a piece of chicken wrapped in a paper bag and said:
"Okay, this is your chicken. Zhang thanked you for your blessing on behalf of Sir!"
The man who came to receive the chicken was shocked by the polite attitude of the person in charge. He took the chicken and bowed quickly: "No thank you, no thank you! You're welcome!"
"Haha, walk slowly, next one~!"
The person in charge laughed and shouted loudly.
……………………
"Wow~! Another person came out with the nibbling chickens~! How many nibbling chickens have the Li family prepared~!"
exclaimed the people lining up behind.
"I don't know! The newspaper said there is an unlimited supply. You just need to come before four o'clock in the morning. I think there should be a lot of it!"
"Tsk tsk~! Mr. Li County is so grand~! The whole city knows about this wedding. I don't know how much money it cost~!"
"Haha~! What the hell is this? Didn't you see the wedding team brought out by Lord Li this morning? The carriage alone is worth hundreds of thousands of gold, let alone the prince, King Wei, three princes, and a county prince. Everyone came to support us~!"
"What a turtle, the man from Li County is so awesome~!"
………………………
"Xiaosi, please quickly bring a dozen or so people to move the bouquets at the back door to the front yard and place them! The lord will be back with the bride soon~!"
Ma Zhou saw that a large number of bouquets had accumulated at the back door, and he quickly gave instructions to Song Xiaosi.
Li Zexuan worked hard to create a wedding that Han Yuxi would never forget, but in the end it was Ma Zhou who did the hard work!
"Okay, Master Ma! Let's go right now!"
Song Xiaosi didn't dare to slack off and went to call someone.
After a while, when all the flowers at the back door were moved to the front yard, Ma Zhou personally led a few people to the front yard to start the arrangement work. Although he had never studied garden art, Li Zexuan had given instructions on how to arrange them. Pass.
The guests who came to Li's Mansion in advance looked curiously at Ma Zhou and others moving a bunch of bouquets around, wondering what they were doing. However, as time passed slowly, those who did not take it seriously gradually changed. Shocked, they found themselves in a sea of flowers, with colorful flowers trembling in the wind and a faint floral fragrance lingering on their noses. It felt so wonderful!
"Sss~! So beautiful~!"
"It's better for boys from Li County to have fun~!"
"Wow~! It looks good~!"
"Master Ma, Master Cao from Chonghuafang has sent a hundred pots of Luoyang red, and he is outside the door right now!"
At this moment, Song Xiaosi ran over and reported to Ma Zhouhui in a low voice.
Ma Zhou was shocked. Peonies are not cheap, not to mention the more famous peonies - Luoyang Red. These one hundred pots are worth at least a thousand guan!
"Take me there quickly!"
Ma Zhou ordered hurriedly.
……………………
the other side.
Li Zexuan led the wedding team and traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally saw the Chang'an City Wall. He breathed a sigh of relief, finally holding the beauty back in his arms. After so many days of hard work, it was finally not in vain.
"Eh~? Xiaoxuan, when we went there, there were so many people watching the fun at the city gate, why is there no one now~?"
Cheng Chumo covered his forehead with his hands (to block the sun) and looked towards the city gate, only to find that there were not many people there. He couldn't help but curiously patted his horse and stepped forward and asked.
"Haha~! Maybe those people are eating at home right now~! Hey~! Why did you run to the front? Go back!"
Li Zexuan smiled mysteriously, and then expelled him unceremoniously. His current position was exclusively for the groom, and he could chat with the bride at any time. How could he let Cheng Chumo come over?
