Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 353: Their respective New Year gifts

Yang Xian took a look, looked at Xu Da lying down in front of him and passed out drunk, and shook his head gently.

The Ming Dynasty Military God really likes to drink, but his drinking capacity is really not that good (compared to the monster Yang Xian).

Moreover, he likes to act drunkenly after drinking too much. The way he made Yang Xian cry and cry just now would make his eyes pop out in shock if he showed it to outsiders.

You are a military god of the Ming Dynasty, but your image is even worse.

No wonder I heard that during the Red Scarf Army uprising, one time when Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers were having a party after a great victory, young Xu Da drank too much and insisted on forcing Lao Zhu to drink. After Lao Zhu refused with a smile, this guy picked up A jar of wine was poured directly on Zhu Yuanzhang's head.

I laughed while pouring it, saying that my eldest brother was drunk.

It's just the relationship between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang. If it were anyone else, I really don't dare to say what the outcome would be.

Yang Xian withdrew his gaze, drank the wine in the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth, called the housekeeper of the palace, and said with a smile: "I will leave the king of Zhongshan to you, I will go back first, and when the prince wakes up, you Apologize on my behalf and say that we’ll meet again next time I have a chance to bring some real wine.”

The butler first glanced at his master, who was drunk to death, and then at the wine jars that were lying around on the table. He said with some worry: "Mr. Yang Guogong, how about I call someone to take you back?"

He was really afraid that Yang Xian was also drunk. If something happened on the way back, he, a servant, really couldn't bear it.

Yang Xian chuckled and waved his hand: "It's okay!"

With that said, he strode towards the outside of Prince Zhongshan's Mansion.

For the next period of time, Yang Xian was still tinkering with various things as usual, but sometimes, not only in the newly built laboratory of the Duke's Mansion, but occasionally he would also go to the war bureau in the imperial city with the emperor's twelfth son Zhu Bai was secretly studying something together.

Time passed like this bit by bit.

As the new year gets closer and closer.

The entire capital also became lively, with lanterns and colorful decorations going on from house to house. Although the various material conditions were far from being comparable to those of later generations, Yang Xian could feel a flavor of the New Year that was even stronger than that of later generations.

New Year's Eve.

Zhongshan Palace.

The Xu Mansion family finished the New Year's Eve dinner. The juniors Xu Miaojin and Xu Zengshou took their brothers and sisters to watch the New Year's fireworks in the yard.

Xu Miaoyun sat there quietly, looking a little lonely.

In Xu Miaoyun's eyes, fireworks rose into the sky in the darkness, only for that moment of brilliance to illuminate people's amazed faces, and then turned into blue smoke and flew away.

The fireworks are brilliant and last only for a moment, that's all.

After this night, it will be another year.

at this time.

"Bang bang bang" a knock on the door sounded outside the palace.

The servant guarding the door had a puzzled look on his face. Could it be that there were still guests coming at this time?

He opened the door and saw a man standing in front of the palace gate.

The moment he saw the man, the servant guarding the gate was startled and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, do you need me to inform the prince and the others?"

The visitor was none other than Yang Xian.

Yang Xian smiled, took out a few boxes of gifts from behind, handed them to the servants of the palace in front of him, and said: "I won't disturb you tonight. This is my New Year's gift for the prince, the prince, and the princesses." I’ll ask you, brother, to give it to me as a gift.”

After saying this, Yang Xian turned around and left.

"No trouble, no trouble, it's a small honor."

The servants of the palace spoke repeatedly, but when he raised his head again, he saw that Yang Xian was already riding something he had never seen before, drifting away and quickly disappearing into the night.

I heard a strange noise coming from the front yard.

Xu Miaoyun was about to get up and check the situation, when she saw the previous servant walking in from outside with large and small packages of gifts in both hands, and even one hanging around his neck.

Without the masters having to say anything, the other servants immediately stepped forward to take it.

Xu Miaoyun frowned and said: "Old Wang, you are an old man too. Have you forgotten the rules of Xu Mansion? You cannot accept gifts casually."

As the only king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, he is the emperor's brother.

There were enough people who wanted to give gifts to the Xu Mansion to level the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

But no matter who gave the gift, whether it was Xu Da or Xu Miaoyun, they would not accept it. Even if they accepted it out of affection, they would find an opportunity to return it intact.

In Xu Miaoyun's opinion, those who are coming to the Xu Mansion to give New Year's gifts at this time must be those who want to climb high, and it is even more unacceptable to accept gifts from such people.

Xu Da also looked over.

If such a principled mistake is made, even the elderly in the mansion must be punished.

"Sir, Miss, if someone else gives you a gift, I will never accept it." The servant named Lao Wang pointed at the gifts and explained quickly. "These were all sent by Yang Guogong personally. I thought about the relationship between the master, the young lady and the Duke, so I accepted them."

Hearing that it was a gift from Yang Xian, Xu Da immediately showed a hearty smile on his face and said, "Brother Yang is here, why didn't you tell me, and where are the others? Why didn't they come in with you?"

"After Yang Guogong put down the gift, he left." Lao Wang's mind recalled the scene when Yang Xian left. Because it was really indescribable, he finally used the word "go".

"I originally wanted to have a good drink with Brother Yang, but it seems that I can only do it next time."

Hearing that Yang Xian had left, Xu Da felt a little regretful, but it was quickly replaced by the joy of getting a New Year's gift.

I saw Xu Da walking to the pile of gifts and found the largest gift among them, which read "Fine wine for heroes, for my brother Xu".

Xu Da opened it and saw that there was a small jar of wine inside. There was red paper on the outside of the jar with the three characters Wuliangye written on it.

Seeing the wine, Xu Da, who loves wine, was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to take it out and said with a smile: "Brother Yang really understands me, but it's not interesting to only give such a small jar of wine. Who can take such a small amount of wine?" Drinking.”

It happened that tonight was New Year's Eve. On such a festive day, Xu Da opened the wine jar on the spot. As soon as he opened the jar, a strong aroma of wine filled the entire yard.

Smelling the rich aroma of wine, Xu Da couldn't help but become energetic.

He first poured himself a glass, and then looking at the eager eyes of the two brothers Xu Yungong and Xu Zengshou, he poured them a glass too.

Xu Da looked at the clear wine in the glass in his hand and marveled. This was the first time he had seen wine in such a good condition.

"Let me have a taste of how delicious the wine that Brother Yang has been talking about before is really good."

After finishing speaking, Xu Da picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, Xu Da frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone on the side thought the wine tasted bad. Xu Zengshou couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Xu Dasi took a breath, turning the burning feeling in her throat into a stimulating pleasure, and praised loudly: "What a strong wine! What a fragrant wine! What a smooth wine! It is indeed a good wine. !”

The reason why he frowned and didn't speak for a while just now was because he was a little choked. He was accustomed to drinking heavily, but he didn't expect that the jar of wine Yang Xian gave him would be so strong. He had never drunk such a strong drink before, and he didn't get used to it all at once.

But after thinking about it, I immediately tasted the deliciousness of this wine.

Seeing Xu Da's reaction, Xu Yungong and Xu Zengshou also picked up the wine glasses in front of them. Finally, under Xu Da's kind reminder, they took a sip. Xu Yungong was okay. After all, he was an adult and had drank a lot in these years. After drinking, Xu Zengshou's reaction was intense.

But even so, both Xu Yungong and Xu Zengshou wanted to take a second sip, which shows the charm of this wine.

After the wine tasting came to an end, the opening of gifts continued.

Xu Yungong received a telescope, Xu Zengshou a book, and Xu Miaojin and others also received their own gifts.

In the end, only Xu Miaoyun was left, and the gift had not yet been opened.

Seeing the looks from everyone, Xu Miaoyun chose to ignore it, picked up her own gift, got up and went back to the house.

Everyone can detect Xu Miaoyun's emotional changes, except Xu Da, who is his father. Xu Da is probably still confused about Xu Miaoyun's sudden desire to go back to the house.

Xu Miaojin followed quietly.

Facing her sister who had followed him into the house, Xu Miaoyun pushed her out.

"Sister, I'm just curious. I'll see what that guy will give you."

Listening to Xu Miaojin's voice coming from outside the house, Xu Miaoyun stood up and opened the door, and then saw Xu Miaojin's little head sticking out, smiling at herself.

But the little girl soon stopped laughing.

"If you really have so much free time, I'll ask your teacher to give you more homework later."

After saying that, Xu Miaoyun closed the door tightly.

Then he returned to the house, saw the gifts on the table, took a deep breath, and then reached out to open them.

It's hard to believe that Xu Miaoyun, who is usually calm and composed, would have such a reaction.

After the gift was opened, there was a transparent glass bottle with Narcissus perfume written on it.

There is a light plum red pen lying quietly next to the glass bottle?

In addition to these two gifts, there is also a postcard handwritten by Yang Xian, which contains the names of these two gifts and instructions for use.

Xu Miaoyun picked up the perfume, opened the bottle cap, put it in front of her nose, and waved it gently with her hand.

A refreshing aroma hits my face.

Xu Miaoyun's eyes lit up immediately. She then picked up the pen and wrote the word "红色" on a blank piece of white paper.

Yes, the brand of this pen was named Hongyan by Yang Xian.

Of course, it is also launched together with the black fountain pen of the Hero brand.

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers began to sound outside, first in a few houses, and then throughout the city.

Xu Miaoyun opened the window and looked into the distance, raising the corners of her mouth slightly and smiling.

At that moment, it was like a tree full of apricot blossoms falling.

It was just a short cup of tea before and after, but their moods were completely different.

That night, Yang Xian rode his latest bicycle invention. I gave New Year’s gifts to many people.

Pens, perfumes, and fine wines, these three gifts are naturally indispensable for Lao Zhu and Queen Ma in the palace. From the East Palace Prince Zhu Biao's side, in addition to the above three gifts, Yang Xian also gave two children a Rubik's Cube, which happened to Zhu Biao. Xiong Ying and Zhu Yunwen are one person each.

In addition, Shangguan Yu'er was also specially given the latest pastries from Mingji Dessert Shop.

Seeing Shangguan Yu'er eagerly devouring the delicious snacks, Yang Xian wanted to laugh for some reason, because logically speaking, at this time, it should have been the New Year's Eve dinner.

Sure enough, dessert is a woman’s third stomach.

Especially after eating, the other person's face was still stained with residue, and Yang Xian couldn't help but wipe it off with his cute look.

Another point, it was a coincidence that Yang Xian was sending gifts to the palace.

It happened that when Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, gave dishes to the important officials in Beijing, he originally sent the imperial guards directly to deliver the dishes to the ministers' houses.

Now that Yang Xian is here, he just puts it in the basket of his bicycle and transports it away.

After finishing everything, Yang Xian returned to his mansion and had a good New Year's Eve dinner with Wang Yuemin and the servants in the mansion.

Yang Xian carried Wang Yuemin on his bicycle and rode on the main road in the capital, admiring the boundless moonlight and night scenery.

This bicycle was the surprise that Yang Xian had promised to bring to Wang Yuemin.

Wang Yuemin sat on the bicycle the day after tomorrow, stretched out her hands and hugged Yang Xian tightly. The feeling at this moment made her seem to have returned to the scene when she was a child and rode a horse for the first time.

The eleventh year of Hongwu was spent in such an extremely festive atmosphere.

In the spring of the twelfth year of Hongwu.

The ice and snow melt and everything revives.

A high platform was built on the Mongolian prairie.

On the high platform, a young general wearing a white cloak stood upright. He looked majestic, holding a sword in both hands and looking forward.

In front of him was a Ming Dynasty's most elite troop of more than 100,000 horsemen, densely packed into battle formations. At this time, there was no neighing of horses and no noise of human voices.

This also shows the strict discipline of this army and the high prestige of the young general on the high platform.

The person on the high platform is none other than Zhu Di, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers looked at Zhu Di with reverence. In their view, Zhu Di followed the military legend and completed the feat of the Northern Expedition. He was also a legend in his own right.

Yao Guangxiao, a demon monk in black clothes, brought the prepared wine to Zhu Di. Zhu Di slowly held the wine glass with both hands, then moved his left hand forward, spilling the wine on the table, and shouted: "A man should lift three feet in his hand." Swords are used to achieve unparalleled achievements. Now is a great time for everyone to make achievements, gain promotions, and become wives! "

"We want to plant the flag of Ming Dynasty in the far west!"

Zhu Di raised his fists high, mobilizing before going out.

What he told was true. For these soldiers, this Western Expedition was indeed a rare opportunity to change their own destiny.

Because the expansion of fief territory also means more official positions and titles.

Amid the shouts of the soldiers, Ming Dynasty's first Western Expedition also began.
