The Yuan Day celebration of Kaifeng Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty began with the "Da Wu Yi", the so-called "Wu" is the legendary god who drove away the plague - the god of Wu. The Da Da Ritual is a ritual held by the court to ward off the plague. By the Imperial City Division, the Teaching Workshop Division and the front of the palace classes personally on the field, wearing masks, wearing embroidered costumes, dressed as the town hall general, judge, door god, Zhong Kui, land god, stove monarch and other gods, mighty more than 1,000 people, protecting the pretending god of Wu, blowing and blowing out of the Xuande Gate, along the royal street all the way to the south, go straight to the Nanxun Gate, out of the Nanxun Gate and then go to Zhuanlong Bay, where dig a pit to bury the epidemic ghosts and monsters, called "burying Chong", so far the Dawu ceremony is over.

After the ceremony, it was a gift of congratulations from hundreds of officials and envoys of various countries. The so-called congratulatory gifts of hundreds of officials and envoys of various countries are actually a substitute for the Yuan-Ri court. Song inherited the system of the previous generation, and performed the ceremony of the great court meeting on the first day, the new day of May, and the winter solstice. Set up the throne in the Daqing Palace, set up the Huang Lu to fight inside and outside the palace, and Chen Gongwu in the south of the palace. The group of officials, clans, and envoys obeyed their own services, and the Zhongshu Shilang used the Zhufang Town Table to give the auspicious case to the matter. The emperor's crown and silk robe were congratulated...... In short, there is a lot of red tape, but you can't see the great court ceremony on the Pan Tower, you can only see the hundred officials and envoys passing through the royal street, and the soldiers of the forbidden army are escorted in armor. If it is the year of the imperial examination, there will be children from all over the country to participate, which is a good scenery for the unmarried beauties of Yunying in Kaifeng Prefecture.

However, the ceremony of the Great Dynasty Meeting is not held every year, and there are six situations in which the Great Court Meeting can not be held, namely: 1. The emperor is not in good health; 2. There is murder in the royal family; 3. Restricted by the uniform system (such as wearing filial piety clothes after the death of the Queen Mother); Fourth, there is military action; 5. There is a great calamity, and the people are hungry and cold; Sixth, the weather is not suitable. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty only held a total of 50 court meetings.

This year, because the war in the northwest was still going on, the ceremony of the great court meeting was not carried out, and the emperor was congratulated by the white officials and envoys on the Donghua Gate. However, it is only the emperor who saves trouble, and the officials, envoys and all living beings still have to stay up all night (not to get up, but not to sleep at all), and it is also very tiring to go to Donghua Gate along the royal street to congratulate.

Wu Haogu is not an official, so he is not qualified to participate in the congratulatory ceremony, and before Ji Yi and Zhang Yi arrived at Pan Lou, they had already ordered someone to send a full set of court clothes to Pan Lou. As soon as the ceremony ended, the two of them were going to change into court clothes and go to worship the emperor.

Now the time to worship the emperor has not yet arrived, and the team of Da Da Yi is coming out of the Xuande Gate. From Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate, this royal street avenue along the high ground, or restaurants or pavilions, have been occupied by the rich and powerful people of Kaifeng Mansion, and if someone in the family is sick and difficult to treat, they will put incense case tribute, called "please Wu", that is, the dead horse is a live horse doctor. Others put on side dishes, warm a few wines, or family or friends, get together, talk, waiting to see the civil and military officials, the envoys of Fanbang, and the soldiers of the forbidden army pass through in a majestic manner.

The idle people of Kaifeng City, who don't have so much spare money in their pockets, are crowded along the street, gathered together, and watched with their feet crossed. There are also many vendors carrying baskets and burdens, selling food and steaming tea along this avenue, and some vendors set up colorful tents on the roadside, putting out all kinds of things, such as crown combs, collar wipes, satin, flowers, toys and other things, singing and calling Guan Pu. Guan Flutter is a kind of gambling with commodities as bait, gamblers can gamble with money far less than the value of the goods, if they are lucky, they can get the goods, and if they are unlucky, the money will go to the seller. Every year from the first day to the third day of the new year, the inner city of Kaifeng is full of paving.

Some of the Sanya forbidden army in Kaifeng Mansion have been on duty on the street, don't look at these soldiers who usually don't train much, they are all hangerlang, but today is different, all of them are full of energy, wearing red battle jackets, wearing Fan Yangjia, sabers and guns, standing from Nanxun Gate to Xuande Gate, it looks like a real elite man.

In the Tianzi No. 3 private room in Pan Lou, Ma Zhi had already gotten a lot closer to Ji Yi and Zhang Yi at this time, and he was talking to them about the situation in Yanjing City on New Year's Eve and Yuan Day.

"Yanjing is bitter, even on the eve and the first day, there is not so much food, drink and fun, there is no money, and the rich people don't play outside, there are only groups of beggars outside!"

"Yes, I just want food, Kaifeng Mansion can occasionally see it, but it can't be compared with Yanjing...... Yanjing is a beggar's city! Especially around the first day of the year, the people who asked for food called Hanako were about to crowd the city, and they couldn't get out! ”

"No matter, the Khitan people don't care, a hundred and ten years ago they didn't let beggars enter the city, but now they don't care. Now that the Khitan nobles are eating fasting and chanting Buddha, their hearts are kind, how can they drive Huazi to the ice and snow outside the city? Not only is it not rushed, but all major temples and large households have to open porridge fields from New Year's Eve. But even so, there are still a lot of people who starved to death and froze to death! Every morning you see dead people on the streets! ”

"Hanako are all farmers from outside the city, and they are all customers. There have long been no yeoman farmers in Liao. The land is either for the temple, or for the Khitan nobles, or for the Han and Bohai people. The farmers of the Han and Bohai people are all customers, and they do not have enough food and clothing to work all year round, so they have no choice but to go to the city to beg during the slack time. If you can't go on, you will have to sell your sons and daughters, or sell yourself into slavery, a real hell on earth......"

It turns out that the people in Daliao are really struggling to make a living!

Wu Haogu did not participate in the discussion and did not care about these. He was admiring the fact that he had just been a slave - a beautiful mixed-race beauty, with pale blonde hair, thin eyebrows, big and bright eyes, a high and pointed nose, skin as white as snow, and a very impressive chest, and even better that this mixed-race chick could sing with a nice Gusu accent, which was interesting.

What's even more interesting is that she is still a slave of Wu Haogu...... Sounds wicked!

But that's the case, this girl named Ying'er is not a Song person, but a Japanese prostitute born in Mingzhou, and her father is a white maritime merchant, who has long been missing. This Japanese prostitute was also ruthless, and when she returned to China, she didn't take her daughter away, but sold it to Ji Yi. Because she is not a Song person, it is a commodity that can be legally bought and sold - she is a private slave, not an indentured slave.

In other words, after Ji Yi gave her to Wu Haogu, legally speaking, she will always belong to Wu Haogu, and Wu Haogu can let her do anything......

I already let go of the ink lady last time, but I can't let go of the shadow this time. Wu Haogu looked at the shadow and secretly made up his mind.

It's been so long, and he has become a super rich man in the Song Dynasty, and he still lives like a poor dick...... That is, the house is a little bigger.

No, this time we have to be corrupt! You have to be a corrupt slave owner! Go back and be corrupt!

"Wu Lang, Wu Lang, what are you thinking?" The pretty face of the half-breed beauty Little Shadow came over, and there was a fragrant smell. Wu Haogu only found out at this time that the wine glass he was holding was tilted, and the wine was spilled on the table, obviously distracted for an unknown amount of time.

Ji Yi, Zhang Yi and Ma Zhi had already ended the conversation, Ji Yi and Zhang Yi didn't know when they had changed into court clothes, with curved collars and big sleeves, horizontal shirts under them, leather belts, heads on their heads, and black leather boots on their feet.

This dress should be ready to worship the emperor.

Wu Haogu knew at this time that the Da Wu ceremony had ended, and it was time to let the officials of the Great Song Dynasty play. He hurriedly stood up, smiled and arched his hand at Ji Yi and Zhang Yi, "Zhang Guanren, Brother Yi, I'll send you downstairs." ”

"I'll send you too." Ma Zhi also said.

As he spoke, several people rushed out of the private room, and the shadow little beauty also happily followed behind Wu Haogu. Does she know who Wu Haogu is? And it can also be seen that Wu Haogu is fascinated by himself...... There will be a good life in the future!

Wu Haogu also took two steps and looked back from time to time to look at the little beauty slave he had just gotten...... It's beautiful! My family must have been lucky in the past two days, and my single life has finally come to an end.

When he was proud, he suddenly heard Pan Qiaolian's voice: "Brother Dawu! Why don't you come looking for slaves? ”

Is it Pan Qiaolian? Why is she here?

By the way, this Pan Lou is her family's property......

Wu Haogu looked back and saw Pan Qiaolian standing outside the door of the No. 7 private room with a smile and waving to him.

"Brother Yizhi and Zhang Guanren, there is a bit of mundane business below, so I won't send it. Brother Ma, don't pass for the time being. Wu Haogu greeted Ji Yi, Zhang Yi, and Ma Zhi before walking quickly towards Pan Qiaolian, and his slave Ying followed him happily.

"Hey, what a beautiful girl, new here?" Pan Qiaolian also noticed the mixed-race beauties who followed Wu Haogu, but she didn't mean to be jealous - people with a bit of status in the Song Dynasty had to ask a female singer to accompany them when they went out to drink with friends, so if they were jealous, they had to marry a poor man......

Ying'er probably didn't know the relationship between Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian, and when she heard Pan Qiaolian ask, she said with a smile: "The slave is not Pan Lou's horn trick, the slave is a domestic trick outside the martial arts." ”

Housework?

Wu Haogu's housework?

Pan Qiaolian was stunned now, she hadn't married yet, Wu Haogu actually started to play a trick, and it was a beautiful trick.

"No, no, no, she's not a housekeeper." Wu Haogu saw that Pan Qiaolian was about to be angry, and his heart was weak for a while, "She, she is just a maid, Ji Yizhi just gave it to me, I want her to serve you, eighteenth sister, do you think she can still pass the eye?" ”

"The maid that Ji Yizhi just sent?" Pan Qiaolian was stunned, "Is there such a beautiful maid?" ”

"Pretty?" Wu Haogu said with a blank face, "I don't think so, I don't see it at all...... Actually, I'm a bit face-blind. ”
