Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1854, Chinese New Year in Golden Island
Here in the port of East Penglai City, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin came back from the Great Plains. They originally planned to go to the northern border to see the northern fishing ground. Later, I heard that it is winter in the northern fishing ground. It is very cold, and the fishing boats are also in the port. I am preparing for the New Year, even if I go, I can't see anything.

So I went back to Penglai City again, preparing to spend a different New Year here in Penglai City.

"It's really lively and festive."

Emperor Hongzhi disembarked and looked at the port in front of him.

Although it is located in the tropics and the weather is hot, there is no feeling of the cold winter months, but because it will be the New Year's Eve soon, and Hongzhi will be twenty-nine in a few years.

The city of Penglai is still festively decorated, with lights and festoons everywhere, all kinds of Spring Festival couplets and couplets can be seen everywhere, and red lanterns are hung high.

Banners were hung here and there on the high-rise buildings near the port. These high-rise buildings belonged to the major commercial houses, vassal states, and colonies of the Ming Dynasty.

It's the Chinese New Year soon, so it's natural that there will be some excitement.

I saw long strips hanging from the tall buildings, on which were written Spring Festival couplets or blessings to the Ming Empire, blessings to the common people, and so on.

"The First Bank of Ming Dynasty wishes the great Ming Empire prosperity and prosperity!"

"I wish everyone in Ming Dynasty a happy life and a happy life!"

"Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. wishes the great Ming Empire to be strong forever!"

"May the descendants of Yan and Huang be strong and prosperous forever!"

"Ningguo wishes the great Ming Empire prosperity and prosperity!"

"Western United Commercial Bank wishes the Son of Heaven long live, long live, long live, and wishes the Ming Empire to flourish forever!"

"The South African United Commercial Bank wishes the great Ming Empire beautiful, rich, prosperous and prosperous, and wishes our lives to be better!"

"Sangong Commercial Bank wishes all the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in Huangjinzhou to have a prosperous New Year!"

"Xiang Rong, the chief envoy of North Huangjinzhou, wishes all descendants of Yan and Huang in Huangjinzhou prosperity in life and wealth, good health and happiness for their families!"

"."

"It's really good."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the banners and couplets with great interest.

This was the first time in history that Emperor Hongzhi celebrated the New Year outside of the capital city. The New Year in the capital was tired of watching, but the New Year in Penglai City had a special flavor.

"It's not like losing to the capital."

Liu Jin also said with a smile.

At first, I thought it was too hot here, and I didn’t have the feeling of celebrating the New Year in winter, but looking at the bustling Penglai City, which is full of lights and festoons, this strong New Year flavor is not inferior to that of Beijing and Tianjin.

"Indeed, this year is full of flavor."

Emperor Hongzhi also nodded in agreement.

Look at the crowds of children on the street. These children are all dressed in festive clothes, playing and playing in groups of three or four. Chinese New Year is the time that every child looks forward to.

Because at this time, there are not only delicious and fun things, but also lucky money, and during the Chinese New Year, there is generally no beating or scolding, so you can be wild for a few days.

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liu~"

Just as Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were admiring the New Year's atmosphere in Penglai City with great interest, Tian Erniu unexpectedly found the two of them, and walked over with smiles on their faces.

"It's you, Er Niu."

When Liu Jin saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "How do you know we're here?"

"Engong, I calculated the time and thought that you may not return to Daming's mainland so soon, so you will definitely celebrate the New Year in Penglai City, so I specially ordered people to pay attention to the port."

"It's inconvenient for you to go out to investigate. It's going to be the Chinese New Year soon, and all the hotels, inns, teahouses, restaurants, etc. in Penglai City will be closed. At that time, there will be no place to live or eat. .”

"I just want to invite you to my house to celebrate the new year. Why don't you come to the Golden Continent? I happen to be in the Golden Continent. If I know about it, I will treat you well."

Tian Erniu said with a smile.

He actually came to invite Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin to celebrate the New Year in his home.

"Will this cause any trouble for your family?"

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin looked at each other, smiled and said.

There are hundreds of people in the group of Emperor Hongzhi, and after all, he is the emperor, and there are many rules in various aspects. If he lives in Tian Erniu's house, it will definitely bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble to Tian Erniu's house.

At the beginning, I said everything was simple, and I didn’t notify the local government in every place. During the Chinese New Year, it was also deserted. If Penglai City really shut down during the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin will only be able to I can spend a high price to book an inn, hotel or something.

"No, no~"

"It is the highest honor of our family that you come to my home, and it is a blessing that our ancestors have cultivated for countless generations."

When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately shook his head. He knew the identity of Emperor Hongzhi. If the emperor could come to his home as a guest for a few days, it would be a great blessing for his ancestors. separated.

"Haha, you've already said that, so let's go to your house to celebrate the New Year."

"It just happens to feel how the families of ordinary people celebrate the New Year."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Tian Erniu and laughed immediately.

Anyway, I came out to take a look. It seems that it is not bad to go to the homes of ordinary people to experience the taste of Chinese New Year.

"Great! Great!"

"Yuanshan, hurry up and inform the house that it is ready to welcome distinguished guests."

As soon as Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately started to jump up, and hurriedly ordered his son Tian Yuanshan who came with him to inform the family to prepare for the reception.

Originally, he didn't have any hope to invite Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin to his home as guests. After all, what is the identity of the other party? How could he easily go to the home of ordinary people for a few days.

But he didn't expect Emperor Hongzhi to agree, which made him overjoyed and extremely happy.

It is a great honor to invite the emperor and the chief assistant of the current cabinet to your home to celebrate the New Year at home.

"Um!"

When Tian Yuanshan heard this, he quickly got on his horse and hurried to the house.

"Erniu, you have your heart, this time you will cause trouble to your family."

Liu Jin looked at Tian Erniu and said with a smile.

"No, no~"

"Mr. Zhu and En Gong can come to my house to celebrate the New Year. It is the supreme honor of our family and the blessing of our family's eight lifetimes of cultivation."

Tian Erniu shook his head again and said.

Emperor Hongzhi is the son of heaven, and Liu Jin is the chief assistant of the cabinet and his benefactor. Although to Liu Jin, he may be just an insignificant person, but to Tian Erniu, if it is not for Liu Jin, he may still be a farmer , a farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky, eats the last meal but never the next meal, how can there be all this now.

"Then trouble your family."

Liu Jin smiled and said again.

Soon, everyone got into the car and drove towards Tian Erniu's home.

Tian Erniu, as the first group of people who arrived at the Golden Continent, was also the first person to get rich suddenly here in the Golden Continent.

The major immigrant places in East and West Penglai City and Golden Island all have their own real estate. Among them, the courtyard in East Penglai City is the core and most important place of the Tian family, and it is also the place where the Tian family celebrates the New Year.

At this moment, the entire Tian family is busy preparing for the New Year. Tian Erniu's wife, Mrs. Wang, is busy with the family's concubines, daughters-in-law and maids.

Tian's family is now prosperous. Tian Erniu has more than twenty concubines alone, and has dozens of children, big and small. The older ones are already adults. Children, the little ones are still waiting to be fed.

During the Chinese New Year, the whole family, no matter how big or small, had to come back. There were nearly 200 people in a big family, and it was very lively.

"What is Er Niu going crazy this year? He has prepared so many new year's goods, and the furniture and the like are obviously in good condition. Why do they have to replace them all?"

"There are also things in this room. Many of them have only been replaced not long ago. Why do they need to replace them with new ones? This is so different from his previous stingy habits."

Wang knew very well about Tian Erniu. Although Tian Erniu was rich, he was like an old farmer picking and searching. He was reluctant to spend money and rarely exchanged things.

But now it is so generous that they have replaced a lot of furniture and supplies with new ones, and they are all the best high-end products. The sun is coming out from the west.

"Auntie~Auntie~"

At this time, Tian Yuanshan came back in a hurry, and he had already shouted before the person arrived.

"What is it?"

Wang looked at Tian Yuanshan and said.

The Wang family is still very good. Even children born to concubines can be regarded as their own. Therefore, no matter whether the children in the family are born by her or not, they are extremely respectful and respectful to her.

"Auntie, Dad just went to invite a distinguished guest to our house for the New Year, and the distinguished guest agreed, and Dad said that everyone in our family should be ready to welcome the honored guest."

Tian Yuanshan said quickly.

"What distinguished guest?"

"Want to spend the New Year at our house?"

"Do you want all of us to be ready?"

When Wang heard this, he immediately said in doubt.

"Auntie, it's Mr. Zhu and Mr. Liu who were promoted by Dad last time, the benefactors of our Tian family."

Tian Yuanshan said again.

"It's them."

"Let me tell you, your stingy father can be so generous once, and it's actually to welcome distinguished guests to our house for the New Year."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately understood, and immediately ordered: "Go and tell everyone to come to the door to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests. If you can make your father pay so much attention to it, it must be the one who invites everyone who celebrates the Chinese New Year to your home." A real guest."

"Yes!"

When Tian Yuanshan heard this, he immediately started to rule over everyone.

He is very clear about his father's situation. In this Golden Island, the Tian family is a well-known existence, but in front of these two gentlemen, his father is very humble.
