A few days passed in the expectation of the people, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrived.
The people from the yamen went to check the lanterns and candles again, and the merchants started selling small lanterns.
The sellers who carry burdens and walk through the streets sell glutinous rice balls, and Jubiqi stores sell large quantities of glutinous rice balls at a profit of 2%.
The people who are hired to make glutinous rice balls can have a good holiday. They will keep making glutinous rice balls until the end of the month.
The lunch box restaurant replaced the staple rice with glutinous rice balls at noon and provided them at a loss.
"Scholar Wei, you can only eat two. If you eat too much, we have to save you."
The imperial physician performs routine daily inspections, specially reminds and supervises.
"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet. It seems that the imperial court is rich! They are actually decorating Nanjing with lanterns."
Wei Su had already heard from his family about the situation. Countless lanterns were decorated throughout Nanjing. It cost money to find someone to make them, and it also cost money to make candles.
The officials also organized people to set off lanterns and fireworks on the Qinhuai River at night to have fun with the people and throw money at them.
"Where is the money in the imperial court? It all comes from the palace. There is a lot of money in the palace. Even I, the king, can support this Shangyuan Festival."
A voice came from the door, Zhu Ping entered.
"His Royal Highness King Qin." The imperial doctor bowed and saluted.
"Scholar Wei doesn't need to be polite. Let's come over and take him into the palace tonight." Zhu Xi nodded to the imperial doctor and told Wei Su about entering the palace.
"Your Highness, the city gate is not closed?" Wei Su knew Zhu Chong.
"Go in before closing time. After the banquet in the evening, stay outside Donghua Gate. Come back at dawn. You don't need to take care of your children. There are people over there."
Zhu Fang told the other party how to arrange it, and he would not come back at night.
"Isn't the Donghua Gate closed?" Wei Su thought this arrangement was not good. If the Donghua Gate could be opened temporarily, why not the Xihua Gate?
"Donghua Gate is always open, and outside the gate is where the people of Xiaqiu Village live. Closing the gate seems to isolate them from the outside."
"The people from Xiaqiu Village were not in the store? Instead, they ran to His Highness the Crown Prince? And they didn't close the door?"
Wei Su's eyes widened visibly, with a look of disbelief on his face. The Chunhe Hall of the Prince's Mansion was next to him.
Let alone a village, where Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang live outside the door, the door must be closed as well.
Zhu Feng nodded matter-of-factly: "Why should we close it when Xiaqiu Village is guarding it? When the enemy attacked Chaoyang Gate, the people from Xiaqiu Village withdrew into Donghua Gate, creating an extra defensive force out of thin air."
"How can the villagers know how to fight?" Wei Su didn't care whether Zhu Chong was the King of Qin at this moment, and felt that it shouldn't be done.
“The villagers have fifty good firearms, which they reload quickly and can handle skillfully, as well as new gunpowder.
I think Bachelor Wei has heard about it, the Rouge River was blown up with gunpowder, that kind of recipe presented by Xiaqiu Village.
Villagers understand commands and can even help organize and adjust. "
Zhu Fang told Wei Su about the combat effectiveness of Xiaqiu Village, which was a good way to protect his brother.
Risk factor: "..."
He felt that what he said to His Highness the King of Qin was not the same thing. What he wanted to say was to guard against Xiaqiu Village. Qin King Zhu Xi said that Xiaqiu Village would protect the prince.
Moreover, Xiaqiu Village was holding a large number of firearms and gunpowder outside Donghua Gate. Is Your Majesty not crazy? Or you are crazy.
Zhu Feng didn't say anything more and went down to help the students prepare food. He kept a portion for himself and found a place to sit and eat.
The guards gathered around him to eat. He was not picky about food now, and the dishes he gave to the students included both meat and vegetables and were made in a box lunch restaurant.
In the afternoon, he took a short nap and drank a glass of wolfberry water to see how the students were studying.
He likes everyone he likes. His father doesn't like these students, so he can use them. After the students fail the exam, the department store will have people who can settle accounts.
The students complained about the accounts given to Jubiqi for three days before, while studying and clarifying them.
You live and eat for free and don’t listen to others. If you are kicked out, where will you find a place to live?
After turning around, Zhu Xiang was satisfied and went to see Wei Su.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!" Wei Sugang just woke up, and it was not the end of time yet.
"If Bachelor Wei has rested, will he enter the palace with me?" Zhu Chong is waiting for Wei Su!
Otherwise, he should go to the box lunch shop to communicate with the children, listen to the instructions from the head, and talk to Hanhan about things.
"Your Highness, I haven't bathed or changed clothes yet." Wei Su touched his hair, which was a bit messy due to sleep pressure.
"I can't see my father now. My father is busy with everything every day. I'll see you at night. He's taking a bath in Xiaqiu Village. The official uniforms of the fifth rank are also there."
Zhu Xi specifically mentioned the official uniform of the fifth rank. This was the original rank of Wei Su, Hanlin Shi Lecturer, that is, Hanlin Shi Lecturer.
The other concurrent bachelor of Hongwenkan has no rank, but has always been held concurrently by people of fifth rank or above.
When Wei Su heard about the official uniform of the fifth rank, he became excited. Was the official reinstated?
He got off the bed tremblingly and knelt down in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I thank you, Your Majesty."
He shouted, his head hitting the floor, and his tears wet a large area.
After he kowtowed three times, the family members next to him helped him up, and they were all very happy.
Wei Su wiped away her tears, and her whole spirit was different again: "Your Highness, King Qin, when will you leave?"
"That's it now!" Zhu Xi couldn't interrupt before, and he didn't kneel to him.
Wei Su thought it was slow for the wheelchair to go downstairs, so he held on to the handrail and walked down. There was no one on the wheelchair, so he could quickly put it down and sit on it when he got below.
He is qualified to enter the palace in a wheelchair. The car that Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded him is now replaced by a wheelchair.
His family sent him across Xuanjin Bridge from the library to Xihuamen. The family stopped and watched him being pushed in.
Once inside, he saw two parallel lines on the ground that should be made of wood? There is a... car parked on the line?
"Bachelor Wei, please get in the car." Zhu Ming helped open the car door, and the guard helped Wei Su to sit down in the car.
Zhu Xi turned around and got on the car from the other side: "Sit tight, Bachelor Wei. You don't need to use force. I will push you."
As he said that, he kicked off and the car moved forward, with the guard trotting beside him.
"Your Highness King Qin, what kind of car is this?" Wei Su put his feet on the pedals and pedaled twice.
"It was originally made for use in mines to pull ore. The bottom is a track and the top is called a mine cart. This cart can load things and push them securely, so many tracks were built in the palace.
The elder brother pushed the dining cart to get meals for the princess every day. When he found something better, he asked for it, and the result was the current cart.
Different levels of people and vehicles have different requirements. Those of lower level must give way when seeing those of higher level. Therefore, those of lower level simply don't take the bus. It is more convenient to walk. "
Zhu Ming was pedaling and talking, and the last sentence came true. The officials found that they were of low rank and always avoided others when traveling, so they stopped sitting.
"That's the truth." Wei Su felt that he was like this, so he gave up and looked at other places: "A lot of palaces have been built in the city?"
"The wood one is more troublesome, but the brick-concrete structure is the fastest. Brick-concrete is a combination of bricks and concrete. It was thought up by Xiaqiu Village and old bamboo is used as the skeleton."
"I know, the building behind the library was built in this way." Wei Su understood.
It was not tiring to move forward and talk all the way, except for the guards.
After walking for a while, the Donghua Gate was in front of me, and another, more beautiful car appeared, coming from the direction of the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Xi quickly braked and shouted: "Brother, is it so early today?"
"It's getting late, follow me." Prince Zhu Biao in front turned his head to look and shouted back.
