May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival...

Dragon Boat Festival is a statutory holiday officially issued by the Han Dynasty. This day is also called Dragon Boat Festival and Daughter Festival.

For example, today, all industries are flourishing, and governments in various places have organized dragon boat races on this day, trying to heat up the festive atmosphere, and those businesses have taken the opportunity to hype it up.

Watch dragon boat competitions on Dragon Boat Festival, drink realgar wine, eat rice dumplings, buns, garlic, chicken, and fruits.

Every household gets up early and puts mugwort leaves and cherry blossoms on the doors and windows, and wears Five Poisons Talismans. Especially in the capital, they are more accustomed to decorating their little daughters during the Dragon Boat Festival, and they are extremely beautiful. Married daughters will return to their parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival, so they are used to calling Dragon Boat Festival the Daughter Festival.

Although the capital has changed the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture this year, the newly appointed prefect is still Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and the city's business philosophy has not changed. The capital has not let go of the lively days like the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is very lively. Not only did it organize various counties and towns, as well as various business banks to establish dragon boat teams, and held the capital dragon boat competition on the Dragon Boat Festival Day, major newspapers and magazines also made special editions of the Dragon Boat Festival, some even held poems and essays to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Businessmen still hold big holiday promotions.

The weather in the capital during the Dragon Boat Festival is getting hotter, but it is still prosperous as ever.

Liu Jun specially put the air down on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, changed into casual clothes in the evening, and took the guards out of the palace. In the Sihe yard on Caishi Street, mugwort and Changpu were inserted at the door, and you could smell a unique scent of mugwort, realgar, garlic, etc. from afar.

Lina is now considered a big boss. More than 30 German hotels have been opened, and chain stores have been opened in Jingji, and they have been opened in Nanjing, Luoyang, Lushun, Dalian, Qingdao, Yingkou, Yangzhou and other places.

There are more than 30 chain stores, and the number of employees exceeds one thousand.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Lina gave out several thousand yuan in bonuses. The Dragon Boat Festival officials and students can rest on holidays, but in the catering industry, holidays are the busiest and the best business. Therefore, Lina's store can only adjust the holidays, so employees who work overtime on every holiday can still get double salary.

The hotel now has a dedicated management team responsible for the operation. The new stores are increasing at a rate of two or three per month. The more stores are opened, the bigger the stalls are spreading, but Lina has been much more relaxed.

All day long, she spent her time at home, bought the freshest mugwort leaves, Changpu, put them into each door and window, and made rice dumplings, fried fruits, boiled salted duck eggs and eggs, and fried marijuana flowers.

When Liu Jun came in, Lina looked happy.

"Sorry, it's a bit delayed." Liu Jun's routine lie.

Liu Jun's current identity has changed from being a Hanlin editor to a Senator of the House of Representatives, and his rank has jumped to a fourth rank. He has become more busy with work, so he often has no time to go home and often has to work overtime.

Lina never said anything about this, but she knew in her heart that things were definitely not that simple. The biggest possibility was that her husband actually had another family outside, and she might just be an outdoor room.

This is normal.

A man as outstanding as him, young, but already held a high-ranking official position, how could he marry a widow in the Western Air? However, Lina had already figured it out that the Han Dynasty implemented a monogamous system of multiple concubines. It is normal for men to have many concubines, and it is even normal for them to house private houses outside.

She could understand that he didn't want to show up in front of his wives and concubines.

Therefore, her husband often can only come back one or two times a week, and she can only stay overnight and half a day each time. She is used to it and will not explore anything. As for where his home is, what his wife looks like, how many children he has, etc., although she is sometimes curious, she will not explore it unless one day he tells herself all this.

She is already very satisfied with her life like this now, and her life is very fulfilling. Every week, he can always take one or two nights to accompany him.

"The salty duck egg you pickled is very authentic. Look at the red egg yolks, DC oil, it's awesome. You are a natural gourmet." Liu Jun washed his hands and looked at the Dragon Boat Festival package brought by Lina, and couldn't help but praise him.

The leaves of the rice dumplings are torn open, and the ham and rice dumplings are fragrant. The glutinous rice and ham are both soft, salty and fragrant, and delicious.

For some reason, when he was in the palace, Liu Jun always had an average appetite, but every time he came to this small courtyard, he always had a good appetite. Lina is worthy of being a woman who runs a restaurant and can always accurately grasp his appetite.

"Why didn't you bring your parents and the others?"

"I went back to their side in the morning, and they came over to sit in the afternoon. Seeing that you were busy with work and didn't have time to come back, I sat back and went back." Lina sat on the side, watching Liu Jun eat the food she prepared with great appetite, and smiled. While saying that, he picked up a salted duck egg and cut it into Liu Jun.

"I'm so embarrassed to be too busy at work." Liu Jun said embarrassedly. He said too many lies, and Liu Jun felt that he was not convinced, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. If it were revealed, this kind of warm and ordinary life would definitely be difficult to maintain.

"Linna, some newly developed villa areas in the western suburbs, which are both platoons and single-family houses, all of which are very beautiful. I have signed up and paid a deposit. One day we will go and take a look and choose one." Liu Jun said, buying a villa seemed to be a compensation.

Lina shook her head, "I think it's very good here, and I'm used to living here. The yard is not big, but it's very quiet. I'm used to getting along with my neighbors. Everyone is very good. Today, each family also sent some rice dumplings, salted duck eggs and waited for it."

"It's okay, we buy a villa in Xishan. We spend a few days every year when we have time. It's a vacation, and we still live here. I like it very much," said Liu Jun.

The two sat together and had a sumptuous Dragon Boat Festival dinner, and Liu Jun suggested going out for a shopping trip.

The capital is a city that never sleeps. At night, street lights are on, and people who have worked for the whole day come out, and the streets and markets are extremely lively.

"Okay." Lina replied with a smile.

When he was about to go out, Lina suddenly grabbed Liu Jun.

"I have some good news to tell you."

Liu Jun looked down at her, looking at her look, and suddenly he felt a premonition.

"I took my parents to the Beijing Hospital for a physical examination yesterday, and then I also looked at the doctor, who told me that I had it."

"That's great." Liu Jun smiled, "Have you confirmed it, how many months have you been?"

“It’s been more than two months.”

"Lina, do you like boys or girls?" Liu Jun reached out to stroke her lower abdomen, but it was only more than two months now, and it was still flat.

Lina has been paying attention to Liu Jun's expression. When she saw that he showed a happy expression when she heard the news of her pregnancy, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since she felt that her husband had a family outside and she was probably just an outdoor room, she has been very concerned about some things about the main room and the outdoor room. She has also heard that many husbands were hiding in the golden house outside, and were finally discovered by the main room, and then brought people to the door. Those outdoor rooms that were slapping by the main room usually were miserable.

"I like both boys and girls, but I like girls more, and girls are more intimate with my mother's heart."

"I am the same. Boys and girls like each other. Boys are naughty and girls are even more cute. But no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, that guy is lucky. He has a net worth of hundreds of thousands before he was born. Our German hotel is like a big business, and it will be his in the future."

"No, it may not be all his." Liu Jun said again.

Lina's heart trembled.

"We must have more than one, so we have to have seven or eight of them, so that the children will not be lonely, and have a companion."

Lina couldn't help but slap Liu Jun's arm, "You think I'm a sow, and I still gave birth to seven or eight." However, when she said this, her heart was filled with sweetness, and she couldn't help but fantasize about the lively scene of her family when she and her husband had seven or eight children.

"It seems that we have to step up our efforts to make money and strive to open a hundred German hotels, so that all our children can own shares by then."

With this good news, the two of them were in a better mood. When they went out, they met several neighbors next door who were also invited to visit the night market. It was rare for several men to see Liu Jun and politely invited him to go with him. The neighbors all knew that this neighbor was a senior senator and rarely came back once, but they would not show off their airs at all when they were at home. They often pulled them to drink tea, smoke and chat, and talk about their own life and work. Everyone had a good impression of Liu Jun.

"Together, let's go to Qianmen Street. After the tour, we'll have a late-night snack. I'll treat you to the neighbors." Liu Jun smiled and said to his neighbors. The neighbors living in the streets and alleys of the vegetable market are just ordinary people. Some are those who set up stalls and sell vegetables in the vegetable market, some are those who kill pigs in the slaughterhouse, and carpenters who open their own wooden shops. They are all just ordinary civilians, but living here together, their neighborhood relationships are usually good.

The seven or eight families, except for the young and old, who were reluctant to go at home, had a group of adults and dozens of children, forming a huge team.

"Call a few cars!"

With so many people and children, Liu Jun thinks it’s good to call a few cars.

"The coachman!"

At the intersection of the street, Liu Jun called out and someone came over immediately.

"Officials, do you use a car?"

"Are there any bigger cars? We have dozens of people. It's better to have two-story large carriages and call three or four."

At the streets and alleys, many of the people who pull carts and wait for passengers, shop owners, and even passers-by are dressed by people from the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and guards. Many of them are even disguised here for a long time and are responsible for protecting the Sihe Courtyard.

When the emperor has requests, he naturally has to do his best.

The capital now has a very developed transportation, with many public carriage routes that run through the city, as well as many rickshaws, of course, there are also many carriage taxis, and many special tourist carriages in the city, double-deckers, which can accommodate twenty or thirty at a time, which is somewhat similar to public carriages.

Renting a carriage is not expensive. Many businessmen or scholars who come to Beijing like to make an appointment with a few friends, rent a sightseeing carriage, and wander around the capital. Especially at night, it is very pleasant to take a carriage to visit the capital at night.

This is like taking a flower boat cruise on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Soon a large carriage came, and Liu Jun was very proud to ask for three at once, enough to get hundreds of people. There were also small bars on these tourist carriages, including maids and wine, and if needed, they could pay to call a song singer, and the rich could also call a music class to play to cheer them up.

The Dragon Boat Festival night is very cool and the streets are even more lively.

The colorful lights are filled with colorful lights.

Shops, stalls, and merchants shouted hard, attracting customers.

As soon as the carriage approached Qianmen Street, Liu Jun heard a roadside stall hawking sound that was very unique, attracting his attention.

"Shuntian Tongzhou, Shuntian Tongzhou, Saibei Leather Shoe Factory went bankrupt."

"Shuntian's largest leather shoe factory, Saibei leather shoe factory, went bankrupt. Boss Yolk He owed more than one million gambling debts, and took his concubine away. We had no choice but to pay the salary with leather shoes. The original price was more than five hundred and six hundred leather shoes, all of which were only two hundred cents."

"All genuine leather shoes, leather, cow, sheepskin, camelskin, are sold for only 200 yuan. Huang He bastards, yolks, you are not a human being. We worked hard for you for more than half a year. If you don't pay the wages, you will pay back our hard-earned money!"

"Repay our hard-earned money!"

This shoe-selling stall surrounded a large number of people, and was attracted by the stall owner's unique hawking. Some people came over for cheap genuine leather shoes, while others sympathized with the boss's run away leather shoes worker.

Liu Jun couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

"Let's go and have a look. If it's really real leather boots, you can buy a few pairs, which can be considered as helping him." said Brother Wang, the neighbor who was slaughtering pigs.

Everyone agreed, so they stopped the car and stopped the car and got off to see it together.

There was more than one stall owner in the stall, but there were more than a dozen people, and there were many leather shoes piled up next to them. They told everyone that they were all workers from Tongzhou leather shoe factory. They worked for the boss for more than half a year, but they didn't get a penny of wages. As a result, the boss suddenly ran away, leaving only some shoes, materials, tools, etc. in the factory. They had no choice but to sell these things to pay their wages.

The shoes they sell are all leather shoes. Those who are familiar with the goods say that they are indeed genuine leather shoes, and the leather is good. Although such leather shoes are not shoes from old brands, they are all genuine leather after all, so it is normal for a normal pair of five or six hundred cents. Now they only sell 200 cents a pair, which is definitely sold for bloodletting.

There were many people watching and many people buying. More than a dozen men selling shoes were busy, and the people who bought shoes were lined up. Wang Butcher and others believed in the situation mentioned by these shoe sellers. They were compassionate and the heart to get cheap, so they didn't care about shopping and were competing to pick up shoes. Not only did they buy it for themselves, but they also bought it for their wives, parents, and children.

Liu Jun looked at it for a while and stepped aside.

"Borrow a fire!" Liu Jun pretended to borrow the fire and walked towards a person on the side of the road.
