Tao Bao's Ancient Happy Life

During the Spring Festival of the third year of Tianyao, at six o'clock in the evening, Emperor Huo Xiaotian brought members of the royal family to Fengtian Hall for a palace banquet.

At this time, the Fengtian Hall was already brightly lit and covered with red carpets. Officials from various ministries outside the Fengtian Hall and foreign envoys had already waited there with their families. When they saw the emperor’s family coming, they immediately knelt down and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!" Long live."

Tao Bao walked on the red carpet with the emperor's family, as if he felt like a celebrity walking on the red carpet. After the whole family went to the highest place of Fengtian Hall, Huo Xiaotian turned around and said, "Everyone is flat, and today is the New Year. Happy." Then he turned around domineeringly and entered the inner hall.

As soon as I walked into the inner hall, I saw that the tables that should have been placed around were now placed in the center of the main hall, and a stage was set up not far under the dragon chair, and because Tao Bao had notified in advance The emperor and his wife asked them not to sit on the dragon chair, but to sit on the front table, so Huo Xiaotian didn't say much, but walked to the right seats that had been set up in advance, and there was a sign on it with the words: Your Majesty the Emperor, Huo Xiaotian was very new to such an arrangement, so he didn't refuse it.

After the emperor and his wife sat down, everyone searched for their seats one after another. For those who didn't know, there were also servants who helped them find them. chair, so that everyone does not need to be distracted to look at the dragon chair.

Then Guanglu Temple placed the pre-prepared fruits one by one, as well as tea and dried fruits. After all these were arranged, the band began to play music. It was the "Spring Festival Overture" that Tao Bao taught these musicians in advance. Very festive.

Tao Bao sat beside Huo Jianhui, the two children had been brought by Huo Jianhui's side, Tao Bao began to lower his head to get food for the children, and Huo Jianhui also occasionally helped, Tao Bao looked back behind him again, His father Tao Ruilin and his wife were sitting on the table behind him.

When the couple saw Tao Bao looking over, Li Xiu smiled. His son's clothes look really nice today, and they are making some clothes for him tomorrow, which looks extravagant.

Tao Ruilin saw that his daughter-in-law was happy today, so he was also happy, and he became a grandfather again today. Just now Tao Bao sent someone to say that Zixuan's surname is allowed to continue, so that the Tao family's incense can continue. After hearing this, he was very happy Grateful, he knew that this was Huo Xiaotian's compensation to Tao Bao and to the Tao family, he no longer hated the Huo family, of course his wife also slapped Huo Jianhui for revenge for the Tao family, this is considered bullshit Flat it!

Tao Bao took a look at the eyes of the people present. These people looked very good-looking. They looked at their table with all kinds of scrutiny. It must be envy, jealousy and hatred in it!Tao Bao ignored him, looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up, he beckoned the master of ceremonies waiting on the sidelines to start, and then saw two very well-dressed young men and women walking on the stage, the musicians in the audience stopped immediately play the piano.

Seeing these two on the stage, they saluted everyone present, and then they both raised their heads. The woman said first: "Your Majesty, my lords, happy Chinese New Year. The first Chinese New Year Tea Party of Tianyao Dynasty begins now."

Tao Bao raised his hand and was the first to applaud, and then the people around him also applauded. After the applause, the male master of ceremonies clasped his fists like Huo Xiaotian and said, "I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor to give you a New Year speech." After speaking, his legs trembled. However, he mustered up the courage to step aside and stand with the hostess.

After Huo Xiaotian heard this, he didn't say anything, but stood up, turned around and came to the stage, everyone also stood up and bowed to Huo Xiaotian, Huo Xiaotian waved: "Everyone sit down, it's Chinese New Year today, don't be too restrained , let me simply say a few words, last year was a year of rapid development for our Tianyao. In this year, we not only realized the state treasury with silver deposits, but also quelled the threat of the chaotic party to our Tianyao harmonious society. Today is the The New Year's Eve is also the beginning of our succession to the future. In the new year, I hope that everyone must thoroughly implement the welfare of the survival and development of the people of Tianyao, so that the people have enough food and clothing, so that their children can go to school and have a family. With enough food to eat, lay a solid foundation for Tianyao's future and realize the grand blueprint of cultural education and survival. Now Tianyao needs peaceful development. We must do something and not do anything to improve the living standards of the people. , the ancients said, "The voice of the great will be loud, and the meaning of the high will be far." In the new year, let us unite as one, work hard with one heart and one mind, and create a more brilliant tomorrow for the development of Tianyao !

I wish you all good health, loving father and son, happy family and good luck in the new year! "

This speech by Huo Xiaotian was written by Tao Bao a few days ago. Huo Xiaotian didn't understand much after reading it for a long time, but he still memorized it according to the meaning.

Tao Bao sat under the stage and watched Huo Xiaotian memorize what he had written on the stage. He remembered very clearly that this speech was a New Year's speech that his father Tao Dewang asked him to help write during the Chinese New Year. , let him look good in front of his brothers. After all, there is a doctoral student in the family, so he can’t be ashamed. But after Tao Bao finished writing, he and his mother despised Tao Dewang for a long time behind the scenes. You said you are a country boy The contractor is still a light worker and not a big boss. What's the use of doing this? Even the bricklayers who do the work don't understand. In his mother's words, it's a waste of work, so pretend!

This time when Huo Xiaotian said it, Tao Bao and Huo Jianhui felt incompatible. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare because he was afraid of being called disrespectful, so it was too uncomfortable to hold back, and his stomach hurt a bit!

Huo Jianhui felt pretty good when he saw what his father said on the stage. They were all true. It is very important to feed the people and dress warmly. This is also the development direction of Tianyao in the future. He saw Tao Bao writing there When talking about this, he thought it was because Tao Bao had suffered in Taojiazhuang, so he had a special understanding of these things, and was able to write such words that were close to the people's sentiments.

And the officials behind them all have a good face, some of them think about the common people, they think about how to exploit the money from the common people, and those with less corruption are regarded as honest officials.

After Huo Xiaotian finished speaking, Tao Bao took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the crowd applauded too. Then they watched Huo Xiaotian happily step off the stage and sat in his seat. Tao Bao raised his hand and the two masters of ceremonies left again. Come on, this time it's the real announcement, the shows are performed one by one, they are very novel, and Tao Bao also rehearsed according to the current Spring Festival Gala format, it went very smoothly and there was no fork.

The program was novel, but the big guys didn’t eat at night, so some people couldn’t bear it anymore. They ate some of the fruits on the table. Tao Bao looked back, looked at the program list, and ordered He waved his head to the officials of Guanglu Temple who were in charge of the palace banquet. The Qing of Guanglu Temple of Guanglu Temple saw him and immediately gave orders. After a while, he saw a group of court ladies walking in with food plates, and in front of everyone There is a bowl, of course, and a plate of side dishes, considering the difference in individual appetite. A large bowl is placed in front of the man, and a medium bowl of size [-] is placed in front of the woman. Before the lid is opened, the There was a strong aroma coming out.

Tao Bao just wanted to wait until this time, these people had been hungry all night, and it happened right now, these people didn’t eat much just now, although there were fruits on the table, but because the female family members wanted to be reserved, and the men wanted to be graceful, this time was exactly when they were hungry. When the stomach is full, so under the leadership of His Majesty the emperor, the big guy started eating. I have to say that this bowl of Malatang really came in a timely manner. The big guy is eating in full swing, but etiquette still needs to be paid attention to. Did not make any indecent sound.

Those foreign envoys were originally complaining that Tianyao's emperor was too stingy, and those who celebrated the Chinese New Year didn't even provide a meal. They really didn't care about drinking tea when they participated in this tea party. They didn't see the meal. Although the program was also very good, but It shouldn't be hungry. Now that there is something to eat, it will eat one by one. After eating it, it is really delicious, and I want to have another bowl!no more?

And those ladies from the official family were a little dissatisfied. Originally, they were all rushing to see the prince come down, but after they came, they didn't see Huo Jianhui's face at all, only the back of his head. Eating food like pig food, the dissatisfaction in my heart became more and more surging, especially when I heard that this palace banquet was hosted by Tao Bao, it was even more displeasing to him, despised, and cast aside was like a sharp sword They also ran towards Tao Bao.

And Tao Bao didn't know about these things yet, he fed the children there, the children liked it very much, mainly because it was fresh, they didn't eat it last time, but this time they were very happy.

Huo Jianhui also helped Tao Bao to feed the two little ones. His actions made those officials' ladies and even the little princes stare at each other. Who said their prince is a murderer? Let's see if this is true. Is this the tender side?But they don't know that the prince in their minds only has warmth for the people around them, and he doesn't bother to care about irrelevant people, and he doesn't even take a look at them.

After everyone finished eating, the maids took away the bowls and chopsticks containing spicy hot pot, the stage was also put away while the big guys were eating, and the curtain was also removed. Huo Xiaotian wiped his mouth and smiled and sat down with the empress on his arm. Sitting on the dragon chair, looking up at the main hall, he could tell at a glance who had eaten Malatang just now and who hadn't. From the bowl he was holding, he knew that empty and full fools could be distinguished. He sneered for a while, I will let you live a few more days for Chinese New Year today. After the Chinese New Year is over, don’t even think about running away. You look down on my daughter-in-law like this. You bastards don’t know that my daughter-in-law is busy with her stomach Afterwards, how tired you are for this palace banquet, if you don’t eat it, forget it, and then don’t eat any more.

All the civil servants below shuddered. The earth dragon is burning in this hall, why is it still cold?The generals didn't think much about it, most of them fought with Huo Xiaotian all these years, they never suffered any hardships, not to mention a bowl of Mala Tang, even when the pigs were starving, they would still eat it just to survive Yes, only those who have never experienced hardship will dislike this bowl of soup. I have to say that a bowl of Mala Tang can directly tell who is a loyal minister and a traitor, and also distinguishes the difference between civil servants and generals.

Huo Xiaotian smiled: "How are you eating, dear friends?"

The generals nodded one by one, expressing that they are very good, most of them are rough people, usually they are not picky about food, but the civil servants all pretended to be very happy to eat, expressing that the taste is very unique, there is no Even the female family members bowed their heads and said that it was delicious after eating something.

Huo Xiaotian sighed at their performance one by one and said: "What I want to hear is the truth, but all my loves, you have let me down, whether it's food or other things, but you dare to say it in front of me." Lie, what do you make me think? You won't do anything bad behind my back, will you?"

The ministers below were startled one by one, those who celebrated the Chinese New Year became angry, especially those ministers who hadn't eaten, their hearts jumped to their heart's content, the emperor's complexion was unusually dark!

And those female family members were so frightened this time, the emperor is too scary, it seems that this palace is not for everyone to stay in, it is impossible to live in this man-eating palace, it seems It is not a good thing to want to marry the prince, so you should make other plans early!

At this time, Empress Li, who was sitting next to Huo Xiaotian, smiled: "Your Majesty, everyone has different tastes, so don't be too demanding. It's better to be happy when it's the New Year's Eve, or it's unlucky Yes, it's not easy for them to be courtiers, so you should calm down.

Also, my lords, you are celebrating the new year too, so just tell the truth and you'll be fine.If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Why do you have to say those things against your will? What are you doing to make the emperor unhappy? "After speaking, he sighed.

Tao Bao almost didn't laugh when he heard this, he was clearly trying to persuade the emperor, but in fact he was stirring up fire!

Huo Jianhui shook Tao Bao's hand under his sleeve, meaning don't laugh, so Tao Bao had to look down at the two children to distract his attention.

At this time, Huo Jianhui said: "For this palace banquet, Zhengjun gets up early and returns home late every day, just to cook a warm meal for everyone. He said that every time the palace banquet is completed every time the dishes are ready, the previous dishes will also be served." It’s cold, and the big guys don’t eat it. What’s wasted, it’s better to cook a hot meal for the big guys, and let the big guys eat something different. I didn’t expect that we ate very good food. In everyone’s eyes It seems that everyone eats better than us! Since everyone has money to buy what we can't eat, let's donate one month's salary to those beggars who can't afford food!"

The officials below all froze, knelt down and no one dared to object whether they wanted it or not, Huo Jianhui and Huo Xiaotian saw that the beating was almost done, Huo Xiaotian raised his hand: "Ordinary people, don't talk about those who are not good at Chinese New Year." auspicious."

This time everyone stood up in a proper manner, and then sat down. The maids poured another cup of tea for the frightened adults. Tribute offered.

Li Xiangwu looked at the faces of these civil servants, and whispered to his daughter-in-law Zhao Xiu'e who was sitting next to him: "Look, this is the face of these villains. They don't even eat such delicious Mala Tang. It's really hypocritical. This girl It’s just that it’s comfortable to be an official in Beijing. If it’s on the battlefield, let alone such delicious hot dishes, even a bowl of hot porridge is something you can’t even imagine. Not bad, the soldiers are all gnawing coarse grain pancakes, they can’t even get a steamed bun, these people really don’t know their blessings.”

What Li Xiangwu said is true. Zhao Xiu'e is also from a family of generals, so I know all about it. When Tianyao was not founded, she and Zhang Caimei had both been on the battlefield. Hearing what her husband said, she nodded her head in agreement with what he said.

Those civil servants and wives are all so angry, what kind of trouble is Zhao Xiu'e, a prodigal bitch, adding to the chaos at this time?Do you have to die a few mouthfuls?

Of course, Tao Bao didn't know about these things, he just gave his own gift to Huo Xiaotian and his wife. As for the mirror he gave yesterday, it was just to honor his mother-in-law. Xuan held a painting and sent it to Huo Xiaotian and his wife.

When Huo Xiaotian saw his grandson approaching, he hugged the child who was about to kneel down, "What gift did your kid give Grandpa the Emperor?"

Child Zixuan said with a smile, "This is given to Grandpa Huang by my father and my little daddy."

After hearing this, Huo Xiaotian opened the painting with a smile, then his eyes lit up, and he sent it to Queen Li's side. Queen Li couldn't help being shocked when she saw it! . . . . . .
