Chapter 22: New Year's Day

"That's it." After careful consideration, Emperor Changlong felt that his son could not be wronged, so he gave up the idea of ​​making Du's daughter a princess.
"I will show you again." Emperor Changlong sighed. "When I was as big as you, there were no shortage of people around me."
Only when he didn't hear the next two sentences, the prince got up and paid a big gift to Emperor Changlong: "Thank you father emperor for his compassionate children."
"Although I was born in the Royal Family, I can't do as many things as I want, but I don't want you to find a princess who is bored." Emperor Changlong waved his hand. "If you have a suitable status and you have a woman who likes, you can tell me in advance."
The prince said: "Father and emperor, the children are just a little bit picky about their personal affairs, but they are not obsessed with their children's personal affection. If you want to let the children be affectionate to which noble daughter, it will be difficult."
"Rolling and rolling." Emperor Changlong was angry when he heard this, and waved the prince back to sleep.
"The courtier retired first." The prince was ready to leave with a humor.
"Wait." Emperor Changlong threw a red seal to the prince. "Take it, press the old bag."
"Thank you Father Emperor." The prince left with a New Year's bag.
Emperor Changlong began to sigh again, hoping that by next year, a few more children would have to hold the age pack.
After the crown prince left, the worried old father Changlong Emperor sent someone to send a gift bag to every princess. Dajin has a habit that every new year’s eve, the elders should give the unborn juniors a birthday package. Although he has five sons and three daughters, and he is not too young, none of them are married.
The emperor's family is also annoying the children's love.
The siblings of the Hua family returned to Huafu very late. After washing and lying on the soft quilt, Hua Liuli held her nostalgia for her parents and slowly fell into a dream.
She didn't get up until the next day.
"The plan of a year lies in spring, and the plan of a day lies in the morning." Hua Changli sees that Hua Liuli does not wake up. "Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Do you sleep so late?"
"I can sleep lazy on New Year's Day, which means I can sleep lazy this year, which is a good sign." Hua Liuli finished his breakfast, and his spirit has slowly recovered. "Third brother, go out today and hide at home reading on New Year's Day. , Depending on the year."
"Cross reason." Hua Changkong stretched her hand and flicked her forehead. "I will take you out for a walk."
On the first day of the New Year, it will be very lively. Their brother and sister staying in Fufu are indeed a bit cold. Hua Changkong knew that his sister missed her father and mother.
The two brothers and sisters went out after changing clothes. Hua Changkong knew that his sister was lazy and didn't want to walk. She let her servant set a carriage and took her out.
The street is really full of people, the small business vendors are all smiles, there are naughty children clamoring to buy snacks, and young men and women walking together shyly and timidly, even if there are crowded people around Break the sweet sentiment between them.
Hua Changkong knew that Hua Liuli was greedy and bought some snacks into the carriage like a thief. He whispered: "Don't eat too much, the things outside are not clean."
"My brother's heart, I will cherish it even if I don't like to eat these." Hua Liuli lifted the curtain and smiled softly at Hua Changkong. After putting down the curtain, he ate with the head of the iris.
"Beijing is really a good place." Hua Liuli sighed, "Eastern and southern places, all delicious things can be found in Beijing."
It's no wonder that the people in Beijing have a lot of hearts and minds. When they are too full to eat and have nothing to do with it, don't they just want to find something?
From time to time, there were patrols and bureaucrats in the Jingzhao Mansion on the street. The street vendors were not afraid of seeing the bureaucrats.
Hua Liuli probably understands why his father respects the Holy Spirit so much.
"Walk past, don't miss it. In order to celebrate the Dajin live and catch the second prince, this stall has a 20% discount on noodles, buy five bowls and get one bowl."
"Look here and here, our pies are not ordinary." There was a woman wearing an apron who shouted loudly, "In order to thank Your Majesty the Great, all the pies in this shop are sold cheaply, buy three stuffings Hot tea with cakes."
"The head sellers have spent, the head sellers have spent." There was a child holding a basket of head sellers, "put on the hair here, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole street."
The street vendors in Beijing are different. Even the reasons for discounts are so great. How happy is the ideological awakening of the court and the court.
Hualili was moved by their spirits, and bought a bunch of pies for the people who accompanied her and her brother.
Waiting for the time for people to eat, Hualili got off the carriage and looked around with Hua Changkong. It happened to meet another person.
"Sovereign." Du Xiuying knew Hua Liuli. She looked at the pair of siblings carrying various gadgets in her hand and saluted them with a perfect gift. "Happy New Year."
"Miss Du is good." Hua Liuli returned her salute. "Did Miss Du come to see the excitement too?"
Du Xiuying shook his head lightly: "There is a bookstore in front, I used to buy books."
Hua Liuli was awe-inspiring. The woman who read books seriously one day at the beginning of the Chinese New Year is so amazing.
"Farewell." Du Xiuying gave another salute.
Hua Liuli hurried back to her salute. On the girl Du, she seemed to see the shadow of her husband, which reminded her of the fear of being punished when she was young.
Du Xiuying nodded slightly, lifted the skirt slightly, and walked across the crowd in the other direction. Her pace is the same, as if measured, even if the surrounding area is full of pedestrians, there is no change in the degree of sidestep shaking.
"This Du girl is really amazing." Hua Liuli sighed. In terms of etiquette, the nobles had many requests, but there were not many people like Du that were as good.
"What are you doing?" Hua Hua saw from a distance that a team of acrobatic performers on stilts twisted their fans and approached this side, reaching out to protect Hua Liuli by their side. "When Mr. teaches you etiquette, if you have this This kind of consciousness is just fine."
"I'm weak." Hua Liuli grabbed Hua Changkong's sleeve, and suddenly his face changed: "Third Brother, it's not right."
She and her 3rd brother are gorgeously dressed, and the average person is afraid that squeezing the accessories on them will lose money. They are careful to avoid them, but this time she found that many people deliberately leaned on this side.
There are no ordinary people in Beijing so careless.
Hua Changkong also realized that something was wrong. He watched the unidentified passers-by who were squeezing closer and closer. He was about to pull out the dagger hidden in his boots, and heard the sound of his sister screaming.
"Help, someone wants to murder the daughter of General Guardian!"
"Grand General's daughter?"
"Who is going to hurt General's daughter?!"
"His grandfather, see I don't want to kill him."
All the passers-by and the street vendors heard the scream and realized that something was wrong and rushed over with blood.
"Protect the daughter of the general."
"Yes, the general guards our country, and we protect his maiden for him."
Those who want to take advantage of the chaos while holding Hualiu's hands haven't touched Hualili's sleeves yet. The street vendor who bought the candied gourd took a bamboo stick and stuck it on the back of his hand.
"Aw!" The man screamed and was instantly pushed over by the people.
Hua Changkong noticed that someone withdrew his weapon, kicked volley, and his weapon was kicked on the ground. When there are many people, the Hua family has a lot of experience. He was worried that these people would hurt the people, and he dared not relax for a moment.
On the contrary, these unintentional people seem to be more accustomed to sneak attacks. When they see the wrong situation, they turn around and flood into the crowd and want to escape. But where are they opponents of the people in the capital, many people gathered around with hands and feet and stopped them from going.
"Please be careful and pay attention to your own safety. These thieves may have weapons on them." Hua Liuli stood in the crowd shaking, her face full of panic and anxiety, and she looked pathetic and helpless, like the scream that rang through the street just now The sound was not what she said.
There are flowers in the sky that are good at fighting on the battlefield. Before the weapons in these people's hands were taken out, he was kicked by him. Coupled with the protection of the people, those who want to take away Liuli in the chaos are afraid to reveal their identity and have no way to start.
A timid girl who does not forget to care about others is more likely to cause passers-by to be protected. So these thieves who were held down and beaten up by the people who were filled with righteous indignation were sent to Jingzhao with a swollen face.
After these thieves were twisted to the government, the brothers and sisters of the Hua family began to thank the people.
The rescue of the daughter of the general made the people very satisfied with their courage and determination. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were outstanding in appearance, they were happy to be close to these ordinary people and laughed: "Thank you, thank you, such a good little girl, those thieves are willing to start, it is really something to cut off the son."
"Not afraid, not afraid." One of the stall's aunts saw Hua Liuli's small face pale and distressed. She stuffed the birthday star tumbler sold in her stall into Hua Liuli's hands. "Come, take this to play."
This is to coax Hualili as a little granddaughter.
When Du Xiuying came out of the bookstore, she saw the Huajia siblings sitting in the wonton shop eating far away. They were all clothed pawns. They even saw Hualili drinking the wonton soup while talking to people.
The food is silent, and the Hua family is a family of military generals who have inherited for many years. How can it not comply with this etiquette?
"What did you say, who were the murderers sent out?" Wu San thought he had a problem with his ears.
"Catched by people and vendors on the street."
"They are killers." May 3 has been silent for a long time. "It is a famous killer on the killer ranking list. You tell me now that they were captured by the merchants. Was their ranking paid for it?"
"Boss." The killer who responded whispered, "You forgot, our killer has no surname."
"Beijing's atmosphere is getting worse and worse, and even the killer rankings are fraudulent." Wusan covered his face. "Don't say they are killers when we go out. Our killer industry can't afford this person."
The killer thought, what else can be lost in their business, is it not a life that can be lost?
"It's all a bunch of useless things." Wu San felt sad and indignant about the sluggishness of the killer industry, and worried about the future of the killer world. He wiped his face solemnly, "Next time, I will shoot for myself."
As the third-ranked predecessor in the killer world, he should shoulder this heavy responsibility.
