Chapter 721: Easy as Pie
Liu Ji only said a few words, and everyone on the field knew that he was married, with a wife and a child.
Moreover, he and his wife loved each other very much, and they had made a vow to be together forever.
The couple that only existed in the storybooks appeared in front of them, and the unmarried men were so envious and jealous.
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to borrow the silver ring to have a look, and planned to prepare a pair for his future wife in the future, but Liu Ji refused to give it to her.
He also said: "This is a token of love and amulet given to me by my wife. I have promised my wife that I will never take off the ring even if I die."
With his wife's mighty momentum, if he dared to disobey, he would definitely be beaten on the washboard three times!
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng had to give up in disappointment.
But!
"Brother, raise it up for everyone to see."
This is OK, Liu Ji readily agreed, raised his right hand high, and proudly let them see it.
Sikong Jian originally just wanted to pay attention to what Liu Ji and others were doing in the crowd.
But he was not on guard at all, and listened to his and Qin Yao's "great love story".
Coincidentally, he saw Liu Ji provocatively flashing the silver ring on his fingertips towards the city wall.
Provoking me?
Sikong Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that this country bumpkin saw through his trap?
But his conspiracy was originally open and aboveboard, so what if he saw through it!
It's easy for a princess to want a man.
Looking at Liu Ji showing off in the crowd, Sikong Jian soon had a new idea in his mind.
The sky gradually turned pale.
After the welcoming delegation quickly went through the process again, at the first quarter of the morning, eight flag bearers led the way, the imperial master's carriage led the way, and the welcoming delegations were accompanied by two columns on the left and right, and the ceremonial guards of the Ministry of Rites followed, and a group of people drove out of Beidingmen in a mighty manner.
At the same time, the Kyoto garrison also began to block the road to prepare for the reception of the Northern Barbarians delegation.
All the forks leading to the main street were guarded by soldiers and runners, and the people were strictly prohibited from approaching the main street.
People who wanted to join in the fun could only stand in the alley and look at the main street from afar.
However, there was a loophole in the teahouses and wine shops on both sides of the main street - the front door was blocked, but the back door was not closed.
Although she went to bed late last night, it was not difficult for Qin Yao to get up early.
She still understood that she had to get up early to join in the fun.
If she went late, she would not have a good seat.
As soon as the sun rose, the Qiu family next door was in commotion. For such a big event as the Northern Barbarians' envoys entering Beijing, even if Mrs. Qiu was paralyzed in bed, she insisted that her children and grandchildren carry her to the main street.
Qin Yao got up to the shouting of Mrs. Qiu next door.
But everyone in the family got up earlier than her.
The four brothers and sisters of Dalang had already written a leave request and asked Yin Lezhong, the middleman, to help send it to the school.
As for why they didn't send it themselves?
The reason is also very simple.
Because they could no longer let the elders in the family "die", they wrote the real reason - they wanted to see the delegation enter Beijing.
Si Niang could not guess what the reaction of the head of the female courtyard would be, but Master Fan would definitely scold Da Lang, Er Lang and San Lang.
Since the ending has been guessed, why bother to be scolded in person?
Anyway, I will go to the school tomorrow and I will make up for this scolding. Let's have fun today~
Perhaps because they have seen the free and easy life of their father and mother, the four brothers and sisters have been very open-minded about such trivial matters at a young age.
Awang simply made some food for Qin Yao and her son to fill their stomachs. After eating, it was getting late, and the twins stood at the door and shouted.
"Aniang, Senior Sister Le, Uncle Awang, hurry up, everyone is leaving!"
Yin Le responded: "Here we come!"
Helping the master to tidy up the last messy hair, the master and apprentice closed the door and walked out.
Finally, Awang was responsible for checking the door locks at home. After confirming that they were correct, the three adults and four children followed the crowd rushing to the main street.
After all, they were still children. Dalang and Erlang led their younger brothers and sisters to jump for joy and ran ahead of the adults.
Once they found something new, they would turn around and tell Qin Yao loudly, for fear that A Niang didn't know the latest gossip.
The family lived close to the main street and Beidingmen. They only needed a good position to be the first wave of people to see the delegation entering the city.
Qin Yao weighed the heavy purse. It was time to show her ability to use money.
"Dalang, come back! Let's go this way." Qin Yao shouted forward and called back the four brothers and sisters who wanted to continue to rush into the crowd.
Pointing to the narrow alley on the left, he entered from the back door of the teahouse and asked for a private room facing the street.
There was a big window in the private room on the second floor. When you open the window, you can see the complete Beidingmen and the entire long main street.
The four siblings rushed to the window impatiently. Dalang turned back and reported in surprise: "Mother, the view here is so clear!"
"Of course." Qin Yao smiled. This is the perfect panoramic seat she specially selected.
Of course, you can't choose this private room without some strength.
Money is really a good thing!
After telling Dalang and Erlang to pay attention to the twins and be careful not to fall out of the window, Qin Yao asked Awang and Yin Le to sit down at the tea table after getting the serious response from the two brothers.
She took the menu from the waiter, ordered a few signature snacks, returned the menu to the waiter, and asked: "Bring another pot of your good tea."
Although she doesn't like drinking tea, she must pretend to be cool.
Tea and snacks were served quickly. In a short while, all the private rooms by the window of the teahouse were full of people. Even the windows downstairs facing the street were crowded with people.
You must order a pot of tea to enter the store. Even if you are short of money, many people will pool their money to order a pot of tea in order to see the princess of the Northern Barbarians.
In the enthusiasm of the people of Shengguo, the sun gradually rises, adding more enthusiasm to the people of Shengguo.
Outside the city, the sound of the flags and bells of the ceremonial guard came slowly, and the guards on the city gate suddenly announced loudly:
"The Northern Barbarians have arrived at the city!"
Suddenly, under the scolding of the officers and soldiers, the noise suddenly subsided, and people unconsciously quieted down and looked forward to it.
In the teahouse, Qin Yao, Awang Yinle and the other three adults also stood up and stood in front of the window, looking curiously.
Erlang asked in a low voice: "Mother, can we see my father?"
After Qin Yao nodded in confirmation, the four brothers and sisters looked at each other, full of expectation and excitement.
When they write back to the village, they must write that their father is also in the welcoming delegation, and tell Jin Bao Jin Hua, so that they will be very envious.
The quiet crowd downstairs suddenly broke out in a commotion, and someone shouted: "Here they come!"
Everyone looked up at Beidingmen.
They saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Shengguo who were holding the ritual chess walked in in an orderly manner.
Then followed a luxurious four-horse carriage.
The gauze curtains on the carriage fluttered in the wind, and the figure of the state teacher in a black robe was looming.
The crowd was excited!
The personal worship of Si Kongjian by the people of Kyoto seemed to be engraved in their bones. Even if the officers and soldiers kept threatening and stopping them, they could not stop the excited calls for the state teacher. (End of this chapter)
