Martial Sage

Chapter 466: The Secret

There are only a few days before the end of the year.

There was a heavy snowfall in Chang'an City last night. The silver-clad imperial city looked like that in a fairy tale world, and it was exceptionally beautiful.

In the streets and alleys of the city, every household puts peach symbols on the door, showing a festive atmosphere with lights and festoons.

The children, dressed like furry balls, chased and slapped in the streets.

From time to time, there was a loud rebuke from the snow-sweeping mother in front of the house.

The bustling people crowded around the meat stall, picking the fat and thin, and bargaining with the butchers.

Over the years, Chang'an City has become the richest place in these countries, and beef and mutton food is no longer a rare commodity.

The young woman is holding the child in one hand and the object in the other. Isn't she looking back and telling the children who are brought out not to run around.

On the street where the flow of people crisscrossed, Tang Hao tightened his fluffy cloak, and walked down the long street with a few guards.

Wu Tong and the housekeeper left and right, and they followed Tang Hao inextricably.

Occasionally, when I saw something I liked on the roadside stall, I stopped to look at it.

After confirming, he waved his hand and said.

"Buy, buy, buy all these."

The housekeeper beside her frowned slightly, her face flushed, and said.

"Master Hou, these silver hairpins are exquisite and small. They are things that women carry. If you buy them like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to use them."

After listening, Tang Hao laughed, glanced at the female steward next to him, and said.

"Since you have said everything, these are the things used by the women, so they are naturally used by the servants and maids in the house."

Hearing that Tang Hao said that, a bright light appeared in the female steward's eyes.

Shaking hairpins, these shining, shining objects, which woman would not like?

The female steward glanced at the stall and reminded softly.

"Master Hou, these are from the Western Regions, they are expensive."

Tang Hao waved his hand heartily, said.

"It's only once a year. I might as well be generous as a reward for you."

After all, Tang Hao waved his hand slightly and said.

"Choose some of these foods, and go home to the maids."

After hearing this, your housekeeper was overjoyed, smiled, leaned over the stall, and started bargaining when she met the vendors.

Wu Tong glanced at Tang Hao and said with a wry smile.

"Master Hou, this time you are so attentive to this servant, but you have thought that there is one more person, and you also have to prepare some gifts."

Hearing the reminder, Tang Hao frowned slightly, glanced suspiciously at Wu Tong, and said.

"who?"

Wu Tongqiu came forward and said with an ear.

"Of course it is today!"

"At the time of the new year, a hundred officials will congratulate them. This is not only the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty, but also the envoys of various countries, and even some of the wealthy merchants from outside the Tang Dynasty."

"At the court meeting in Yuan Day, officials above the third rank must offer their lives to Your Majesty!"

After listening to this, Tang Hao was slightly startled.

It stands to reason that the first day of the first month is the beginning of the year.

Such a beautiful day would have to go to court and present a gift to the king of Tang!

Tang Hao was rather curious when it came to offering gifts to the King of Tang, and asked.

"Then over the years, what gifts have hundreds of officials offered?"

To be honest, the gifts of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries are nothing more than rare treasures, and Tang Hao has seen quite a few.

But the gift that Tang Wang, who was used to seeing rare and exotic treasures, received made Tang Hao a little curious.

Wu Tong groaned slightly and said.

"The king of Tang likes writing and ink. Last year, the jade black Tortoise inkstone sent by the prefect of Liangzhou was loved by the king of Tang."

"There is also a nine-year-old arched moon wall, which symbolizes the prosperity of the royal family and has a beautiful meaning. It has also been praised by His Majesty."

After listening to this, Tang Hao felt even more boring.

It's nothing more than these are some rare treasures, but they are on a higher level than those of the noble family.

It's a unique orphan of the family.

Tang Hao said in a nuisance.

"These rare and precious treasures are not in my house."

"Furthermore, these treasures, even if I encounter them, I am afraid that it is my wealth that will be hollowed out."

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Tong felt helpless, said.

"But now, Lord Hou is an official from the second rank, and this gift will also be ranked first."

"Although our treasure is not rare, it should have some weight."

"Otherwise, it is not only our face that is lost in the court, but also the jokes of neighboring nations."

Mentioning it in this way made Tang Hao feel embarrassed for a while.

At the moment, this rare and exotic treasure will definitely not be given away.

Although the Shijuan copybooks are unique, these birthday gifts have already been used.

This time, if you take it out again, there is no new idea in the first place, and it will inevitably be a little perfunctory in the second.

After a moment of contemplation, Tang Hao suddenly had a decision in his heart, smiled slightly, and said.

"Yes!"

"Since we want to be unique and unparalleled in the world, let's make a change!"

While talking, the housekeeper slowly got up, with a touch of embarrassment, said.

"Master Hou, the slave house is finished."

Looking at the pile of jewelry on the ground, Tang Hao waved his hand generously, said.

"In that case, buy it all!"

I patted Wu Tong who was still in a daze, and said.

"Everyone puts some hands on them, a little bit swiftly."

"We have to prepare gifts for Your Majesty."
