Chapter 527: Zodiac Signs

A "noble" who wore a wig, a scented white cloth underwear, a rectangular cloak, and spoke with his nostrils. He straightened out the half-tight pants in his crotch, and showed off his shiny white and long sashes he washed, stood up and said, "How come you Chinese are pigs, dogs, and rats? Unlike us, they are all Taurus, Leo, Andromeda..., so majestic! I really don't know what your ancestors thought!"

Old John was translating with his head down. In fact, if Little Awen was next to him, he could understand it. However, the little brother went to pick up his sister-in-law at the city gate, and was not there!

The emperor's face was really bad. He was originally thin and yellow wax wax, but now he has a layer of frustration. It's not that he is afraid of aliens. He is a dignified emperor of a country. After hearing a few jokes, he sent the Gentiles to the Meridian Gate to behead him, which is a bit unworthy.

The civil and military officials here do not want to lift the table and hit the bench and point at the nose of the aliens and scold them. The problem is that we had never thought about what the twelve zodiac signs left by our ancestors meant. This is without any basis and cannot be criticized by classics. How can we refute it?

I can only say that the old-school education method teaches people to death, and only knows how to pass on the inheritance and not create it by yourself. What can you do if you make up for it and explain it? Will the little emperor chop your head because you have maintained the honor of your ancestors?

The generals were also stuffy. They were used to shooting arrows with real swords and real swords, but they had never experienced the tongue in their mouths. When they encountered this situation, they were waiting for the civil servants to fire their verbal swords.

The result was that all the Chinese civil and military officials present did not say anything. They might not have reacted.

A clear and clear response passed through the 9981st steps and rushed into this embarrassing silence...

"Yes, the ancestors of the Chinese are very real. Our twelve zodiac signs are opposite each other, and the six realms of reincarnation reflect the expectations and requirements of our ancestors for us."

A woman who was gradually becoming rich was neatly dressed in the clothes of the princess of the dynasty, and slowly came.

Behind him, Xiao Awen clenched his fists tightly, but his face was calm. On the other side, Ying Wuyi wore a blue shirt, walking as light as a ray of smoke and dust, but his figure was solid and steady.

A big smile finally appeared on the emperor's face, and his princess sister is back!

After A Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to the Golden Palace: "Long live my emperor--"

"Flat!" The little emperor half pulled his body and stood up, his eyes gathered with A Yuan's eyes.

Needless to say, being in tune with one's heart means this moment.

Princess Furui stood up and stood still, immediately turned to look at several aliens who dared to provoke on the Golden Palace. A moving smile was placed on the corner of her mouth, and she opened her lips and asked, "I heard it just now. Do you guys don't understand the meaning of the twelve zodiac signs of the Song Dynasty?"

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became quiet. Since the emperor issued an imperial edict to marry Princess Furui and remarried, there has been a heated debate in the court. Originally, the princess had to withstand the questioning and accountability of the old scholars when she returned to Beijing, but now, who is still interested in paying attention to the matter between the princess and who the couple is?

The old scholars also know that in front of outsiders, the best solution is to "repel foreign powers" first.

On the Golden Palace, the old Shangshu Lu, who was still strong, stroked his beard and stood his ears, and also listened to the princess's rhetoric.

Everyone knows that this princess doesn’t like to play according to common sense on weekdays. Maybe this time, she will just fight back against the arrogance of the aliens!

Old John smiled so hard that his face seemed to be blooming, his voice was rising, and he was performing detailed translations for several "kinds". His eyes fell directly on the bright and vivid cheeks.

"Princess? The Song Dynasty - the princess of the opposite sex?"

The nobles still had an indifferent expression on their faces. Could this little woman who was dressed like a performer, be able to talk about these 100 civil and military officials?

A Yuan nodded to Old John. This is respect for the translator. He asked him to translate well: "For our twelve zodiac signs, the first group is rat and ox. Rat represents wisdom, and ox represents diligence. Wisdom and diligence must be closely combined. If you only have wisdom and not diligence, it will become clever; and if you just have diligence and not thinking, it will become stupid. These two must be combined. This is the expectations and requirements of our ancestors for our first group, and it is also the most important group."

The eyes of civil and military officials suddenly became brighter. Yes, why didn’t we think of it? Isn’t this rat and a cow so wonderfully match? Once the rat crosses the street, everyone shouts to beat him, this explanation will turn into wisdom and intelligence. High, it’s really high!

The young father-in-law had already brought the seat for the princess, but when they were so excited, they refused to sit there.

Old John translated A Yuan's explanation with a smile, and the "kindergarten" who grinned and mocked her, his expression was a little stagnant.

A Yuan gave Old John a thumbs up, gently shook his spacious embroidered robe, and continued her preaching: "This second group is a tiger and a rabbit. Tiger represents courage, and rabbit represents caution. Brave and caution must be closely combined to be bold and careful. If courage leaves caution, it becomes reckless, and without courage, it becomes timid. This group is also very important, so..."

Her left hand was behind her back, and her right hand was gracefully stretched out a index finger and shook it: "When we show caution, don't think that the Chinese have no courage."

Shangshu Lu hit his palms and shouted: "Okay!"

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to say that if Princess Furui marrys a few more times, he would agree with it, just do whatever she wants! Such a wise and brave princess, do whatever she likes, and don’t talk nonsense!

The translation process of Old John is the process of the civil and military officials falling into deep thought. Little Awen took a few steps forward and stood on the side of Ayuan. The young man's voice was crisp and powerful: "The third group of the zodiac signs is dragon and snake. The dragon represents hardness and snake represents flexibility. The so-called hardness is easy to break, and it is easy to break if it is too hard, but if it is only a soft side, it is easy to lose its opinion. Therefore, the combination of hardness and softness is our ancestral teaching..."

Xiao Awen's eyes were bright, just like when he was very young, he did something right and memorized a passage. He looked at his sister-in-law with a bright look, looking forward to his sister-in-law's praise.

A Yuan tilted her head and smiled. Her right hand stood up from under her broad sleeves. Xiao Awen's right hand was also raised, touching her sister-in-law's palm. This is their unique move of mutual celebration and encouragement.

The little kid has grown up and is the eldest sister-in-law, so he can take a break. A Yuan's hand was led by Yingwu and sat on the seat specially set by the emperor. The couple also smiled knowingly. Yingwu stood openly behind his wife, watching Xiao Awen's extension and expansion...

However, at this time, the civil servants present have truly learned how to interpret the meaning of the twelve zodiac signs, and Xiao Awen can't be more beautiful than before.

Shangshu Lu took the lead in firing: "Sima and the princess should rest first, and I will explain in detail."

This old man is also interesting. Just explain it. What should I do when I use my arms to block the civil servants around me?

"The next zodiac sign is horse and sheep. Horse represents courageous and sheep represents harmony. If a person only cares about himself and goes straight to the goal without caring about the surrounding environment, he will inevitably bump into the surroundings and may not be able to achieve the goal in the end. However, if a person cares about harmony, he may not even lose his direction. Therefore, the courageous nature must be closely combined with harmony. This is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors. Next..."

"Then the next one is the monkey and the chicken..." After all, Lu Shangshu didn't stop other civil servants from showing off. His arms were out of reach. A young civil servant was trying to make his mark: "Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow at regular intervals, representing constant. Flexibility and constant must be closely combined. If you are flexible and have no constant, no matter how good your ideas are, you will not get any harvest. On the one hand, this combination is stable, maintaining overall harmony and order, and on the other hand, it can move forward in flexibility. This is the most fundamental key."

The emperor's yellow face gradually became rosy, and he witnessed another minister standing up and saying: "In the end, it is dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty, and pigs represent easy-goingness. If a person is too loyal and does not know how to be easy-going, he will reject others. On the other hand, if a person is too easy-going and without loyalty, he will lose his principles. Whether it is loyalty to a nation or his own ideals, it must be closely linked to easy-goingness, so that it is easy to maintain a deep balance."

How good it was! A Yuan couldn't help but applaud and congratulate them. Unfortunately, this etiquette had not become popular yet. In the Golden Palace, she was the only one who slap "pa" sounded.

The emperor's voice raised slightly and gently changed directions: "Dear friends who have come from afar, our explanation of the twelve zodiac signs has been completed. Finally, I really want to know what your Aquarius, Sagittarius and other signs reflect what your ancestors' expectations and requirements for you? I hope you can give me advice."

The nobles who were still arrogant not long ago did not speak for a long time, and the audience was silent.

Only Princess Furui, who looked at the emperor, raised his thumbs with both hands. In the Song Dynasty, only this generous woman dared to do this to the emperor at will, without any worries about the taboos he would make or anger the dragon face.

How many disputes have two sisters and sisters of different surnames experienced? Although they have not been together for a long time, they can trust and trust each other.

Not everyone is willing to risk offending the Empress Dowager and ask for the life of an emperor's brother again and again. Not everyone can send their disabled son to raise him without saying hello. Not everyone will immediately raise his body and fight... (To be continued.
