Chapter 383 Wishing Tree
Imperial City Gate.
Li Shimin stood atop the city wall with his civil and military officials.
To his side, envoys from various countries also stared in astonishment at the brightly lit Chang'an.
Did they really manage to do it?
Share joy with the people, and let all people enjoy it!
"What do you all think of my Great Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin stretched out his hand, his face still dignified, but the slight upturn of his lips revealed his inner pride.
"Unprecedented, unprecedented."
"The splendor of the Tang Dynasty is something we have never seen in our lifetime."
"Your Majesty, how exactly did you manage to do this?"
The envoys from various countries were filled with jealousy.
But it must be admitted that no other country can achieve such a prosperous scene.
Hearing the expected answer, Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"With the ministers united in heart, the people are won over!"
Li Shimin began to boast: "Just as all the countries are of one mind with the Tang Dynasty, everyone will become more and more prosperous!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The assembled officials all bowed in congratulations.
Li Shimin was even more pleased.
"His Majesty."
Just then, Yu Shinan stepped forward and said, "Since the Ministry of Commerce has made such a contribution, I think Wei Shuyu's sixth-rank official position is a bit too low."
"I propose that Wei Shuyu be formally promoted to the fifth rank!"
"allow."
Li Shimin readily agreed.
The ministers, including Changsun Wuji, wanted to object, but seeing that Li Shimin was in such a good mood, they suppressed their thoughts.
Those who are subjects can rebel.
But we can't spoil the fun!
If you spoil the fun, Li Shimin will make things difficult for you.
Not everyone is as resilient as the Wei family.
At this point...
Wei Shuyu has officially entered the ranks of the fifth grade!
at the same time.
Chang'an Subdistrict.
"Sister Xueyan, let's go buy some rouge."
Wu Qiqi took Li Xueyan's hand and led her into a rouge shop.
Wei Shuyu: "..."
Cui Shenji leaned closer to Wei Shuyu and whispered, "Big brother, will the county princess report us?"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"Then why don't you go and flatter them and protect them?"
"That makes sense!"
Choi Shin-ki followed along eagerly.
"Qiqi, Xueyan, let me tell you, I also know a lot about rouge."
"Cuixiang and Xiaolian often talk about it..."
Cui Xiang and Xiao Lian.
Others may not know, but Wu Qiqi has been to the Wan Hua Ge, so she knows, right?
He immediately kicked Choi Shin-ki out...
"roll!"
"..."
What are you doing?
I'm here to express goodwill.
If a girl is that violent, she might never get married!
Choi Shin-ki felt extremely wronged.
After browsing the cosmetics shop for a while, the group resumed their leisurely stroll...
"Look, he's wearing a pole."
Choi Shin-ki roared.
Wei Shuyu looked around and realized it was acrobatics.
The top rod, also known as the top rod.
The pole is placed on the performer's head, and then women or children perform various tricks on the pole.
"Wow, there's even a tightrope walk."
Choi Shin-ki clicked his tongue in amazement.
Walking on a tightrope is the same as walking on a steel wire, except that there were no steel wires in the Tang Dynasty.
The group watched for a while...
There were quite a few acrobatic performances during the Tang Dynasty.
Various acrobatic acts such as sumo wrestling, ball fighting, and jump ball were performed.
"Big brother, how did you do that chest-breaking boulder thing you mentioned?" Choi Shin-ki asked, his eyes wide.
"It's like you're lying on a bench with a big rock on your chest, and I'm going to smash it down with a hammer..."
ha?
Choi Shin-ki's eyes widened: "Then I'm doomed!"
“It’s not pretty to die.”
Wei Shuyu explained earnestly, "In the end, the stone shattered, but you were unharmed!"
cut.
The three of them simultaneously looked at each other with suspicion.
"So even big shots brag, huh?"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head: "Dare to say I'm bragging? Want to try?"
Choi Shin-ki shook his head repeatedly.
We're just stubborn, not stupid.
but……
We'll try looking for the remains tomorrow.
"Wei Shuyu, shall we go admire the lanterns?"
"good!"
Wei Shuyu nodded.
The most beautiful night in the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly the night with lanterns.
A variety of lanterns swirl around, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
There were also river lanterns, Kongming lanterns... one by one illuminating the entire city of Chang'an.
"Wei Shuyu, can you make lanterns?"
"Won't."
"You also have things you don't know how to do?"
"I don't know how to have children yet..."
"rogue!"
Wu Qiqi pulled Li Xueyan away in a hurry.
However, he quickly returned and chatted incessantly with Wei Shuyu.
We admired the lanterns for a while.
Wu Qiqi and Li Xueyan each had an extra lantern in their hands.
With Wu Qiqi's intelligence, solving a few riddles is a piece of cake.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere!"
After watching the lanterns for a while, Wei Shuyu suddenly spoke.
"OK."
Wu Qiqi was very happy.
This was the first time Wei Shuyu had suggested taking her somewhere.
After weaving through the crowds and circling two streets, I arrived at a street corner.
This is a huge locust tree.
The locust tree is nearly 20 meters tall, and all its green leaves have fallen off.
But under the locust tree, there was a large crowd of people.
They were holding a strip of cloth in their hands, praying devoutly.
"This is……"
Wu Qiqi covered her mouth.
"It's called the Wishing Tree."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Write down your wishes and hang them on a tree, and your wishes will come true."
In order to suppress superstition.
Wei Shuyu created this wishing tree.
Sometimes people are superstitious simply because they lack a spiritual anchor.
So Wei Shuyu gave them one.
Chang'an is cold, making it difficult for banyan trees to survive; locust trees are the best choice.
"You're lying, aren't you..."
Wu Qiqi pouted, her face full of disbelief: "All the leaves have fallen, it's all bare, it looks like nothing."
"It's only auspicious if everything falls off..."
Wei Shuyu grinned: "When its green leaves cover the branches, and when its petals fall on the cloth of your wish, that is when your wish will come true."
"Really?" Wu Qiqi asked suspiciously.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Wei Shuyu, I'll fight you to the death!"
Wu Qiqi bared her teeth and claws, trying to scratch Wei Shuyu.
But Wei Shuyu stopped him with one hand.
"Don't waste any more time."
Wei Shuyu said, "When everyone else has hung their wishes all over the treetops, you little dwarf will have to climb the tree."
"I want to hang it at the highest point!" Wu Qiqi announced, raising her head.
"You can climb trees?"
Swish.
Wu Qiqi looked at Cui Shenji.
Choi Shin-ki understood immediately: "Big brother, I know how!"
"Make a wish and you'll find your heart's desire."
Wei Shuyu explained, "Only if you pray for it yourself and hang it yourself will it be effective."
I see...
Whoosh whoosh.
The three figures took off and left.
Where are you going?
"Hang up your wishes."
Wei Shuyu shook his head and chuckled to himself.
Near the locust tree, there is a designated place for writing.
The three of them were lying on the table, writing diligently.
"Qiqi, what is your wish?" Choi Shenji sneaked up to Wu Qiqi's side.
"You're not allowed to look."
Wu Qiqi concealed her wishes.
"mean."
Choi Shin-ki pursed his lips.
"So what is your wish?" Wu Qiqi asked.
Oh my.
Choi Shin-ki, hands on hips, laughed heartily: "I want to be the prime minister!"
"Why?"
"Because my family all say I'm a disappointment, I'm going to prove them wrong..."
"My God, you'll always be the boss!"
That's really impressive.
After chatting for a while, the two of them looked at Wei Shuyu.
"Big Brother, aren't you going to write down your wishes?"
mine?
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
After a long while, Wei Shuyu turned his gaze to the locust tree.
Whether it was true or false, I only heard him speak calmly...
"My wish is already hanging there."
