Chapter 250: Unpack the lucky bag
The auspicious time has arrived, and Li Haitang is wearing a mask and mingling with the savage husband in the crowd, waiting for the blessing bag from Empress Baihua.
Next to them were Zhang Ruyi and Lu Yuanqing, who followed them as soon as they stepped off the stage, and they couldn't get rid of them.
Licheng is a square tofu block with north and south streets, and the float that Liu Xianer is on will travel from south to north.
The crowd was crowded, and everyone greeted each other, said auspicious words, and waited for the arrival of Empress Baihua.
"I heard that this year Miss Liu was selected as the Empress of Baihua, and Baixiangju also contributed a lot!"
In previous years, the gifts of lucky bags were mostly needles, threads, and daily necessities. This year is different, and there are big prizes.
The luckiest people get a house.
"Such a big deal?"
It was a rumor before, but someone mentioned it, and the people around immediately asked, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. The cousin of my mother-in-law's sister's nephew works as a clerk in Baixiangju. Baixiangju costs a lot of money."
The daughter was elected as the empress of Baihua, and Master Liu, the owner of Baixiangju, invested more than a thousand taels of silver in support of her daughter.
"You also know that the young owner of Tianxiang Tower has a deep affection for Miss Liu Xian'er. No, they have produced a lot of things."
It's no secret that Song Mo likes Liu Xian'er in Licheng. Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, the two are in a competitive position in business, and the common people speculate that Mr. Liu will not marry Liu Xian'er to the Song family.
"Master Liu is just such a daughter, and it hurts to the bone. Maybe he will recruit a son-in-law in the future."
Someone has to inherit such a huge property, not to mention, what kind of talent does Liu Xian'er have to be worthy of her celestial appearance.
The number one beauty in Licheng, the people all hope that she will have a good home.
"Haitang, if Miss Liu is put in the capital, she will be a great beauty as well."
Zhang Ru has a lot of opinions and knowledge. There are four beauties in the capital. Liu Xian'er's appearance is no worse than the four beauties. At present, only Xiao Taohong can surpass her.
"Beauty is beauty, but the status is lower."
It is probably not a happy event for a commoner to have a beautiful woman. If you don't have power, you will be bullied by bullies.
Aunt Lan is an example. The previous Empress Baihua was smart and beautiful, but in the end she couldn't escape her fate and became a concubine for her uncle, Zhifu Xia.
The truth is indeed the truth, Li Haitang touched his face, if she didn't run away from marriage, she might not be where she is right now.
Before the float came over, the common people were talking about the lucky bag. There are rules for grabbing the lucky bag. Whoever picks it up belongs to him.
If someone robs and is reported by everyone, he will have to eat ten days in prison.
The inside of the lucky bag is mostly empty, made of red paper and purse.
"You are from outside, right? The small piece of paper in the lucky bag will write the prize you got."
It may be a copper plate, a box of needles and thread, or a silk flower with small icons on it.
Most of the common people are illiterate, so they use patterns instead, so that everyone can understand.
"Look, Empress Baihua is here!"
The common people automatically stood on both sides of the street, and in the middle, a flower team came slowly.
There is a yamen servant leading the way in front, followed by sixteen young women, marching around the float, and inside the float drawn by tall horses is Liu Xianer, the Empress of Hundred Flowers.
Liu Xian'er was wearing a bright green dress with cuffs like lotus leaves layered on top of each other. The dress outlined her beautiful figure.
All around the floats are decorated with hundreds of flowers, and the wind is ventilated on all sides. People can see the Empress Baihua in every corner.
"Empress Baihua, spread the lucky bag!"
"Bless me, win the jackpot, I want to pray!"
The crowd began to be restless, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the float, thinking about Liu Xian'er's movements.
Liu Xian'er covered her face with a light veil, but it did not damage her beauty in the slightest. She wore a pure white wreath on her head, and her brows and eyes were peaceful, giving people a sense of peace.
Li Haitang thought, such a beauty is nothing more than a fairy descending to earth. Such a beauty, in the end, I don't know who will go for the cheap one.
"Everything goes well and is booming."
Every once in a while, Liu Xian'er would throw out some of the lucky bags. Her voice was crisp and clear, like a clear spring in the mountains, piercing into the bottom of my heart, clear and sweet.
It was the first time for Li Haitang to hear such a comfortable voice, same-sex repulsion, she could not help but have a good impression of Liu Xian'er.
"Haitang, I got the lucky bag!"
There was a rain of lucky bags, and the people bowed down one after another. Li Haitang also had Zhang Ruyi's sharp eyes and quick hands, one for each of them.
"Quickly take it apart and see what we have."
Zhang Ruyi pried open a small crack in the red paper, frowning, struggling with the things on it.
"Little lady, you are lucky to get a dress from Shen Ji Buzhuang."
The chance of winning a lucky bag is not high, and many people got empty ones, and Li Haitang was the first one around.
Shenji Cloth Shop is also a time-honored brand in Licheng, and its main business is ready-to-wear fabrics. It is quite lucky to get a set of dresses.
"congratulations!"
"Same joy, same joy!"
Li Haitang and everyone clasped their fists together to accept their blessings. The Hundred Flowers Festival is a day to pray for blessings. I hope that I will be favored by the **** of luck and not be unlucky again.
"Ruyi, do you have a prize too?"
The float continued to move forward, but the people were still unwilling to disperse. People with good deeds surrounded Zhang Ruyi, wanting to know if she had won the grand prize.
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Ruyi gritted her teeth, spread out the paper, and the uncle next to her took a look and smiled, "Oh, this little lady is a lucky person, she is blessed!"
"What did you get?"
Koufu, isn't it a first-class meal?
"One Wang Ji Big Meat Bun!"
After announcing the lucky bag, the people around laughed in good faith, and Zhang Ruyi squeezed her face. After getting married, her weight skyrocketed. She prayed for a meat bun. Doesn't it mean that she will become a bun in the future?
"No, don't worry, lady, you are a stick at most!"
Lu Yuanqing could only say this in his heart, he and Xiao Lingchuan didn't receive a lucky bag, it was better than nothing.
The float that Liu Xian'er was in was not far ahead, but at this moment, the scene suddenly changed.
In the alley, a carriage suddenly rushed out and headed towards the float where Liu Xian'er was.
"Liu Xian'er, just because you are neither a man nor a woman, you are also worthy of being the Empress of Hundred Flowers?"
The window of the carriage was open, and a young lady sat with red and swollen eyes, screaming loudly, while her horse, which seemed frightened, galloped down the street.
The horse's hoof kicked a passerby and went straight to Liu Xian'er.
Seeing that the carriage collided with the float, which was surrounded by wooden frames without any protective measures at all, Liu Xian'er was in danger.
In an instant, a man in black ran out from the crowd. He stepped forward and hugged Liu Xian'er, using his body as a shield to protect him by his side.
At the moment of the impact, the floats scattered, and the man was also thrown into the wall and rolled to the ground.
"It's Baixiangju's young master, Song Mo!" Someone saw the face of the visitor clearly, and was shocked. After this collision, is there any way for him to survive?
