Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 316: Three Dynasties: Kongming Lantern
In the next few days, Zhang Sui became quite busy.

Firstly, he had to purchase supplies with Li Ru, Xu Rong, Zhen Hao, Huang Han, Zhang Sheng and others to prepare for the three dynasties for the soldiers in the barracks.

Secondly, he also needs to buy supplies himself.

In addition to food and drink, Zhang Sui also prepared some special gifts.

For example, the square table and benches.

He had given some of this to Yuan Shao before.

Now, he also wants to give it to Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Yan Liang, Zhang He and Qian Zhao.

Of course, Zhen’s store will also give it away.

This land has been a society of human relationships since ancient times.

Only by giving each other gifts can you deepen your relationship.

The reason why we have to give a square table and benches is simple.

In the late Han Dynasty, desks were still widely used.

The table is too low and there is no room to place a stove underneath to keep warm.

Build a square table with eight corners and put a stove under the table. It will definitely keep you warm in such cold weather as Sanchao.

In addition to the square table, Zhang Sui also prepared gifts for the women.

He connected them together with Saeki paper to form a large portrait, and then drew a sketch on it.

Afterwards, Cai Wenji and Zhang Chunhua were asked to color these portraits.

In total he painted eight plus one portrait.

The eight portraits are: Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua, Hongyu, Liu, the second lady Zhen Mi, the eldest lady Zhen Jiang and Yuan Shao.

These eight portraits are all dignified and dignified, and can be displayed.

The other portrait was of himself.

In this portrait, Zhang Sui himself is naked, standing on the edge of the bed.

Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua and Hongyu were lying naked on the bed, talking and laughing about something.

Cai Wenji and Zhang Chunhua both looked a little strange when they were coloring the painting.

However, they could accept it.

After all, Zhang Sui is such an unruly person.

Zhang Sui hung the portrait directly at the foot of his bed.

In this way, when you lie on the bed, you can see this exciting scene.

Finally, Zhang Sui made more than twenty Kongming lanterns.

There are also portraits painted on Kongming lanterns.

There is a sketch of a person and a blank space on each Kongming lantern.

These blank spaces represent the blessings for the coming year from the person depicted on each Kongming lantern.

In addition to Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua, Hongyu, Tian Feng, Liu and others who each received one Kongming lantern, the servants in Zhang Sui's mansion also each received one.

Zhang Sui made the Kongming lanterns and asked his servants to take them to find the owners of the portraits one by one. He asked them to write inscriptions and invited them to his residence on the night of the Third Court Session to spend the Third Court Session together.

Zhang Sui and Hongyu personally rushed to the Zhen family shop.

In addition to sending Kongming lanterns with inscriptions and inviting the eldest lady Zhen Jiang and the second lady Zhen Mi to celebrate the third dynasty together, Zhang Sui also sent an octagonal table, benches, and some meat.

Firstly, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang and the second daughter Zhen Mi are both the daughters of the Madam. Now that he and the Madam are together, he must take care of them.

Secondly, Zhang Sui was from the Zhen family after all.

Miss Zhen Jiang obviously didn't expect that Zhang Sui would come here specially at this time and bring so many things.

Especially after listening to Zhang Sui's explanation of how to use the square table, Miss Zhen Jiang's eyes changed when she looked at Zhang Sui.

She could now understand why her second sister liked this man.

After Zhang Sui finished explaining how to use the square octagonal table, he sent two decks of cards to the Zhen family shop and asked Hongyu, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang and a maid to play cards together for a while.

Zhang Sui wrote two prayers on the two Kongming lanterns he sent.

The eldest daughter Zhen Jiang is a married woman. She wrote the following prayer: May my husband have a successful career and my children grow up healthy.

The second lady Zhen Mi just sent someone to pass the message out, and her inscription was blank.

Zhang Sui did not force it.

He didn't go out of his way to look for the second young lady, Zhen Mi.

After having lunch at Zhen’s shop, Zhang Sui took Hongyu back.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Sui woke up from Yuan Mi's room, and rode to the military camp, greeted the cooks, and made sure that the evening dinner was ready.

Li Ru and Xu Rong are in charge of guarding the military camp today.

Zhang Sui and they determined the program schedule for the military camp.

He rushed back to the city at noon, but did not go back to his hotel, but went to the government office.

The Three Dynasties is the Spring Festival of later generations, which was the biggest festival for the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Today is not just a day of celebration for the common people. All officials who do not have urgent matters to attend to must gather at the government office to celebrate the Three Dynasties with Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou.

After a quick lunch at noon, everyone gathered in the government office to talk about the developments of the past year.

Compared to the first time Zhang Sui attended the morning meeting and no one paid attention to him, this time there were many people who came to talk to Zhang Sui in Sanchao.

Yan Liang, Zhang He, Qian Zhao and others all came.

As it was approaching dusk in the afternoon, the officials, led by Yuan Shao, prayed for the emperor and the Han Dynasty.

After the blessing, the banquet officially began.

First, Yuan Shao gave a speech, imagining the future, and then there were dancers and officials feasting.

Zhang Sui ended the banquet early, said goodbye to Yuan Shao, and immediately rushed to the military camp.

The celebration in the military camp had already begun.

The soldiers gathered in an open space, eating meat with big mouthfuls, watching the prostitutes who had been hired at high prices dancing ambiguously and watching the soldiers themselves perform.

Zhang Sui toasted each of the generals in the barracks, checked the patrol to make sure there were no omissions, and then returned to his home.

Zhang Sui's house was also full of people at this moment.

This year, there were no desks at the banquet at Zhang Sui's residence. Instead, they all used four-corner octagonal tables, benches, and a stove.

When Zhang Sui arrived, Tian Feng and his wife also arrived and sat at the first seat in the hall drinking warm wine.

Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua and Hongyu sat at the same table.

The eldest daughter Zhen Jiang, her husband, two children and the second daughter Zhen Mi sat at the same table.

After Zhang Sui came back, everyone carried the Kongming lanterns out to the hall.

Everyone lit up Kongming lanterns and watched the lanterns with their portraits and their blessings for the coming year flying high into the sky.

The second lady Zhen Mi watched the Kongming lanterns fly high into the sky, then looked at Zhang Sui.

Looking at Zhang Sui surrounded by Yuan Mi, Cai Wenji, Zhang Chunhua and Hongyu, he lowered his head.

Tian Feng, who was always serious, stood with his wife.

The two old couple watched the Kongming lantern with Tian Feng's portrait painted on it fly high into the sky. They laughed out loud while talking about something.

Zhang Sui's movements also attracted attention from other places in Yecheng.

Yuan Shao, Liu Shi, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan, Gao Rou and others gathered in the courtyard of the governor's mansion.

Liu looked in the direction of Zhang Sui's house and saw dozens of Kongming lanterns flying high into the sky. She hurriedly took out her own Kongming lantern and lit it.

Yuan Shao looked at Liu's cheerful expression and said to Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan, Gao Rou and others with a smile, "Learn more from Bo Cheng!"

"In just three dynasties, he has come up with so many tricks."

Liu smiled and said, "Then General, I will bring some gifts to visit the Third Miss tomorrow."

Yuan Shao smiled dotingly and said, "Go, go, go if you want to go. I don't have as much time as you do! I can only rest tonight. Tomorrow, I have official business to attend to."

Then he looked at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan and Gao Rou and said, "You should go too and learn more from Bo Cheng."
