Concubine ran away again

Chapter 23 The Old Man's [-]th Birthday
Some of these people are court officials, and some are merchants and rich men.

In short, I came here all to curry favor with this powerful Prime Minister Zuo!
"Greetings to the Prime Minister, I wish the Prime Minister good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Seeing the Lord coming, they all kowtowed to the ground and kowtowed to celebrate their birthday.

Qiao Qingshan waved his sleeves in satisfaction: "I, Qiao, thank you for your kindness, and come to my humble house to gather together! We must eat and drink well today!"

Everyone quickly agreed.

Just as he was about to take his seat, a group of people came in suddenly.

These people are gorgeously dressed, different from ordinary families.

Yes, these are the eunuchs in the palace.

The identity of the leader is even more noble, because he is the personal eunuch Xu Fugui and Xu Gonggong, the personal eunuch of the current Emperor Situ Luofan of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that it was someone from the palace, Qiao Qingshan hurried forward with his family.

"I don't know why Eunuch Xu came here late at night, why?"

Xu Fugui pursed his lips and smiled, then clapped his hands towards the other eunuchs behind him.

I saw them carrying out an object covered with a red cloth.

When the red cloth was removed, everyone was stunned.

Because what appeared in front of everyone was a red blood coral a few feet high!

"Your Majesty learned that today is the prime minister's birthday, so he specially sent servants here to present this congratulatory gift. This is a thousand-year-old blood coral tribute from the East China Sea Kingdom. It can not help but be admired, and it can be used as medicine. I wish the prime minister a long life, prosperity and health!"

Knowing that it was a gift from His Majesty, Qiao Qingshan hurriedly led his family members to kneel down and kowtow to thank him again.

"Long Live My Emperor Long Live Long Live"

Qiao Yuyan was a little curious.

What does this legendary emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, look like?

Will it be a round face?Square face?Or awl face?
Eunuch Xu helped him up, and then said: "Master Prime Minister, Your Majesty told me to tell you that he values ​​you very much! In the future, you must help him more in court matters!"

Qiao Qingshan took a full purse from the housekeeper, smiled and stuffed it into Xu Fugui's cuff.

"I also trouble my eunuch to go back and tell His Majesty, the old minister understands."

After a few more pleasantries, Eunuch Xu left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, the people present began to flatter and flatter even more.

Qiao Qingshan, who has always been the most face-saving person, instantly beamed with joy.

Seeing the opportunity came, Aunt Liu hurriedly led Qiao Yufu forward to celebrate her birthday.

"My concubine wishes the master the sun and the moon to be prosperous, Songhe Changchun!"

"My daughter wishes my father good health and a long life!"

Qiao Yufu's maid, Yingge, also hurriedly led a few maids over, holding a red tray.

I saw her slowly opening the scroll on the tray.

A burst of dazzling light emanated from it.

Everyone looked at it carefully, and then they could see clearly.

It turned out that there were hundreds of different writing styles of longevity characters, large and small, inlaid on the red scroll.

And these different longevity characters are finally pieced together into a huge longevity character!
It was the first time for Qiao Qingshan to see such an ingenious thing, and he couldn't help but look a little stunned.

Aunt Liu is very satisfied with the current results.

Pointing to the picture of one hundred longevity, she explained triumphantly: "My lord, every birthday character on it was written down by my concubine and Yufu going to different temples to pray for the abbot there. There are hundreds of temples. And all of them have been consecrated! The concubine ordered the goldsmith to sprinkle gold powder on it, and finally it can be pieced together into this big birthday character!"
