"Light a candle and make a wish? What does that mean? "The daughter of a minister with a quick mouth is puzzled and puzzled at the moment. In fact, not only her, but many people are not very clear about this fresh birthday ceremony.

The snow lady smiled, and before she came, the sixth young master told her the allusions in it, and she was full of confidence at this time, and said with a confident face, "Legend has it that in the heavenly fairy world, the people there worship the moon goddess Chang'e very much, and every year they hold a birthday celebration for her, and at the banquet, a cake made of flour and honey is placed, and there are many lighted candles on it. They likened the light of the candle to the clear light of the moon to show their special worship of the moon goddess. Later, when the gods celebrated their children's birthdays, they also liked to put cakes on the table, and many small lighted candles were inserted into the cakes, and the content of blowing out the candles was added. They believe that burning candles have some magical and secret power, and when the birthday celebrant silently makes a wish in his heart, he can blow out all the candles in one go. ”

Artemis in the story was replaced by Chang'e, which was naturally intentional by Yang Chendong. What he wants is that the mainstream culture in the world in the future is the Han culture, even when it comes to immortals, it should be dominated by the gods of the Han people, and this little story is the beginning of a change.

After the story of the Snow Lady was finished, everyone was curious, and Hu Yan in the crowd whispered in Yang Duo's ear, "These things must have been made by him." ”

"Of course. What do you think? In the future, when you get married, you will be happy, he has a lot of ghost ideas, and I guarantee that you will not bring the same thing to your birthday every year in the future. Yang Duo said jokingly. These days, under the care of her sixth brother Yang Chendong, she has become much more lively and cheerful. In the Wang family, there are enough maids around her to call, and she doesn't need to look at anyone's face. Over time, he slowly regained his original temperament, and with Hu Yan, a familiar person, he was able to talk and laugh.

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

In the center of the venue, the three-tiered cake was already filled with fourteen edible candles of different colors, and after being lit one by one, Princess Shandeok crossed her hands together and began to close her eyes and silently make a wish. On the side, the Snow Lady and the fourteen girls who had been prepared for a long time sang softly, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

In the midst of the happy birthday song, Princess Shangde made a wish, opened her red lips under the gaze of everyone, and with the help of the Snow Lady and other women, she blew out the fourteen candles that were lit together, and the surroundings immediately burst into extremely warm applause.

After making a wish and blowing out the candles, the next step is to cut the cake. A suitable cutter had already been handed to Princess Changde, and a piece of cake of the same size and very symmetrical was divided. Princess Changde also gave the first two pieces to her imperial brother Zhu Qizhen and her sister-in-law Empress Qian.

The other women who came to watch the ceremony were also given a small piece of cake according to their parents' official position. Just because they had to be distributed to so many people, a few large pieces of cake were brought in, but even then, everyone could only eat a small piece.

Fortunately, everyone soon knew from the mouths of Snow Lady and Mu Lili that such a delicious and beautiful cake fairy residence had been sold, which was not a disappointment. But at the same time, these ladies also made a decision, that is, after going back, they would immediately send someone to the fairy residence to buy a cake to taste. What if it's not a birthday? Who says you can't eat something so delicious?

The birthday song was over, and the cake was eaten. At this point, this birthday party is already very perfect, at least unprecedented. But this is far from enough in Yang Chendong's eyes, he knows very well why the emperor wants to host this matter by himself this time, it is nothing more than to find his own trouble.

Although he used all kinds of means and novelty to make the other party unable to find an excuse to find his own bad luck. But there is no reason to prevent thieves all day long, so he still decided to give some blood and remove the pressure brought to him by the emperor.

"Next is the gift time, the following is Yang Xian Ma's thoughts on Princess Changde's birthday, please smile." As if it was a trick, the Snow Lady had an extra gift list in her hand, and after seeing that everyone's eyes moved to herself, even Emperor Zhu Qizhen's gaze seemed to be inadvertently looking at herself, she first smiled, and then waved her hand to the sidelines, and then a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler came out, "On Princess Changde's birthday, Yang Chendong washed his horse and sent ten mirrors, fifty boxes of transparent glasses (four in each box), one hundred bottles of perfume, five hundred sets of soap, and one thousand pieces of toilet paper..."

After a burst of chanting and singing, there were many eunuchs in the palace outside the venue who carried these things on the gift list into the hall one by one, and soon they were pushed up like a hill.

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

Obviously, this is Yang Chendong's attitude. Taking the opportunity of the princess's birthday, she took the initiative to give gifts and benefits to the royal family. In this way, other courtiers could not say anything, and with these things, whether they were used for their own use, or used to reward the courtiers, or even sold for silver, they could be the masters.

With these gifts being delivered, Zhu Qizhen's mood became very good, and he was determined not to do anything against Yang Chendong. To put it bluntly, he is the emperor, and the whole world is his. The reason why I want to target Yang Chendong is because he is too popular, and he is a little envious. Now that I have benefited, of course, such thoughts are not so serious.

These gifts were naturally surprising to the female dependents, and they all stared at the birthday star Princess Changde with envy and jealousy. It's just that at this time, as today's protagonist, the third princess's eyes are on a small beautiful box that is not much bigger than a palm.

It was a box with a delicate rag doll on top, and when the switch was flipped, the rag doll on the box began to rotate and move its limbs, and a song like a birthday song slowly sounded. To put it bluntly, this is an extremely ordinary birthday music box in later generations, and the market price is only a dozen yuan.

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

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

All the ladies looked at the box with admiration and amazement, and there was a strong longing in their eyes.

"What is this? How can it be so delicate and wonderful? There were women in the crowd who couldn't help but make a strange sound, and when they thought that this thing was given by Dongshuai, they hurriedly asked the snow lady who was holding the gift list.

Today's Snow Lady can be said to be out of the limelight.

Although she used to be an Oiran, in the eyes of many people, she still didn't enter the stream. Especially in the eyes of these female dependents, it is easy to be branded as a vixen, a demon girl, and a prostitute. Maybe he still has some fame in his own garden, but if he really stands with the daughters of these ministers and magnates, it is definitely the object of everyone's shouting.

Even if it was a dream, the Snow Lady never thought that one day she would be surrounded by so many nobles, these female dependents did not dislike her, on the contrary, they also competed to talk to her, and there were even many people who showed goodwill.

All this, in the final analysis, was brought to her by Dongshuai, and at this moment, the Snow Lady was even more determined to follow Dongshuai's footsteps and never abandon her for the rest of her life.

"Yang Ximaguan is called a birthday music box, this box can take the initiative to send out good music, which is suitable for Princess Changde's birthday." The Snow Lady explained to the girls with a smile on her face.

"I don't know if such a good thing is also sold in the Immortal Residence?" After hearing that this was a birthday music box, the ladies were moved and eager to know where to buy such good things.

"I'm sorry, no." Under the gaze of everyone, the Snow Lady shook her head with some regret, "Everyone just said that this is a good thing." In fact, it was Yang Xima who specially brought it from the sea, and just for this one thing, it cost 30,000 taels of silver, which is still priceless? We are Ming, and this is the only one at present. ”

"Ahh It's so expensive. ”

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

"Oh, when it's my birthday, which man can give me one of these things, then I'm really satisfied, yes, yes..."

"Even if you make a promise, you're willing, aren't you? This Nizi is moved by the heart of spring, hehehe. ”

Suddenly, there were all kinds of voices in the crowd, and for a while, some people laughed and played together because of this.

Hu Yan also happened to hear the words of the Snow Lady in the crowd, and a look of disappointment flashed on her face.

When she saw this birthday music box just now, she liked it. I wonder if I can get something like this when I celebrate my birthday. But when she heard that the entire Daming was now the only one, she knew that her thoughts were extravagant.
