Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 59: Moving into a new house, the emperor and his ministers came with generous gifts

"Okay, you can release the koi now." With Xiaoyu's command, the koi entered the water and swam happily.

"Swim and swim...Okay, let's go back and move into the new house." Yu Yu turned around and left, preparing to go down the mountain.

When everyone returned to the new house from the back mountain, Xiaoyu clapped her hands and said, "Let's go back and move our things."

Everyone nodded and walked towards Zuixianlou, but when they arrived they found that there was actually nothing worth moving.

Li Hao scratched his head and muttered, "Mom, it seems there's really nothing to move."

Yuyu also nodded in agreement: "We usually live here anyway."

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "In that case, let's just pack up and move into the new house." Qin Huaidao also responded.

Xiaoyu smiled helplessly, "Never mind, just pick out some of your belongings and take them with you, and leave the rest here."

After that, everyone packed up and headed towards the new house.

The sun shines across the capital, and the palace is peaceful.

A secret guard hurried to the imperial study, his expression respectful. "Your Majesty, I heard today that a family has moved into a new house. They have an extremely flat and wide road in front of their house. It looks very special, so I have come to report this to Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Oh? Is this true? Let's go and join in the fun, and by the way, go to Yuyu's house for a meal."

At the emperor's command, the palace suddenly became busy.

The attendants quickly prepared a magnificent carriage, which was exquisitely decorated and the gold ornaments shone brightly in the sun.

Zhang Sun Wuji was handling affairs in the palace. When he heard the emperor summoned him, he was stunned at first, then immediately put down the scroll in his hand and said: "I don't know why the emperor summoned me."

He knew that the emperor's move must have a deep meaning, and he did not dare to delay for a moment: "Forget it, don't think too much, the emperor calls, just go."

He carefully selected a pair of jade ornaments from the storeroom. The jade was smooth and delicate, and the carving was exquisite. "This is a rare treasure for me. It's the perfect gift."

Wei Zheng was reading at home. When he heard the news, he frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "As an emperor, running around every day, what does it look like?"

He has always been upright and honest, and he had doubts about this seemingly casual trip, but he could not disobey the king's order, so he sighed: "Forget it."

He asked his servants to prepare a piece of calligraphy written by himself, with strong and powerful characters.

Fang Xuanling was busy flipping through books in his study. When he heard the call, he immediately stood up and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

He selected a set of rare ancient books from among his many treasures. This set of ancient books was priceless. He carefully wrapped up the ancient books, closed the door and went out.

Cheng Yaojin was in his own martial arts training ground. When he heard the emperor's call, he laughed and responded: "Hahaha, okay, I'm tired from practicing martial arts, just in time to go eat."

He hurried to the storeroom and pulled out a pair of exquisite golden maces, each with extraordinary craftsmanship. "This is a good find I found by chance. Let's take this and go."

Qin Qiong was recuperating, but he immediately stood up after receiving the order.

He chose a breastplate of his own, and it accompanied him through all the battles.

Soon, the ministers came to the outside of the palace and set off with the emperor's carriage.

The carriage and the entourage marched majestically on the avenues of the capital, and the people gave way.

"Where is the emperor going?"

"I don't know."

"This direction doesn't lead to Zuixianlou, where can we go?"

"Don't you know? The emperor rewarded the Yuyu family of Zuixianlou with a new house. They should have moved there by now."

The ministers in the team, carrying their own thoughts and gifts, headed towards Xiaoyu's family's new house.

Xiaoyu's family was busy in their new house, completely unaware of the upcoming distinguished guests.

Yuyu was laughing and playing in the yard, while Xiaoyu was sorting out the few things in the house.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao checked the surrounding environment at the door to ensure it was safe.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and wheels could be heard in the distance. Cheng Chumo looked over alertly and saw a procession of magnificent carriages approaching the new residence, with the emperor at the head.

He ran into the yard and shouted: "The emperor is coming!"

Xiaoyu was also shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took Yuyu out to greet him: "Long live the king!"

The emperor stepped down from his carriage, surrounded by a crowd of people. He looked at the family before him and said with a smile, "Everyone, please stand up. I heard today that you have moved into a new house, so I came to congratulate you."

Yuyu said happily: "The emperor is here again"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that your new house was completed and there's a good road. I was curious and wanted to share in the joy of moving into a new house."

Changsun Wuji was the first to step forward, holding a beautiful jade ornament in his hand. He smiled and said to Xiaoyu, "This is a pair of beautiful jades. Jade symbolizes warmth and peace. I wish your family peace and harmony in the future, and everything goes smoothly, just like this beautiful jade."

Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled Yuyu, and Li Hao bowed and thanked him: "Sir, such a generous gift, I am overwhelmed and will cherish it."

Wei Zheng then stepped forward and unfolded the calligraphy he had written, his expression solemn: "I present this calligraphy to you, hoping that your family will uphold the righteous path and enjoy a harmonious family. The meaning of this calligraphy is my hope for your family."

Xiaoyu accepted it respectfully: "Your calligraphy is precious. I will definitely remember your teachings."

Fang Xuanling held up a rare ancient book and said gently, "This ancient book contains wisdom from ancient times to the present. I hope that the children of your family can learn from it, increase their talents, and serve their country in the future."

Xiaoyu thanked him and said, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. This gift is of great significance and will surely help my son and daughter open the door to wisdom."

Yuyu: "Thank you, Mr. Fang"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and handed over the golden maces: "Haha, I, Old Cheng, don't have any good things. I will give you this pair of golden maces to protect your house and keep you safe and sound."

Li Hao's eyes lit up beside him. Xiaoyu patted him lightly and responded with a smile: "General Cheng's gift is extremely valuable and will definitely protect my family."

Qin Qiong held the heart-protecting mirror, his eyes sincere: "This item has accompanied me in battle. It keeps me safe. I am giving it to you now. May you be free from disaster."

Xiaoyu was filled with gratitude: "Thank you very much"

Yuyu tugged at Xiaoyu's clothes and whispered, "Mom, these gifts are amazing."

Xiaoyu touched her head and whispered to Yuyu: "Don't be rude."

The emperor watched this scene and nodded with a smile: "Hahaha"

He looked at the foot of the door and said, "What kind of road is this? It's so well-built, without even a speck of mud."

Xiaoyu: "Cement road, Your Majesty. It's flat and solid, and very convenient to walk on."

Yuyu blinked her big eyes and said crisply, "Your Majesty, even if it rains, you won't get your shoes dirty if you walk on this road."

Li Hao continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, this cement road is much better than the dirt roads we used to have. The carriages can run very smoothly on it."
