Chapter 207 Lively!
Zhu Jun was half full after this meal and drank very little wine. He didn't leave until the end of the day.
He also brought Zhu Jingyan into the palace along with him.
The atmosphere of celebrating the New Year in the palace is quite strong, but there is no extravagance or waste. After all, Lao Zhu's family tradition is frugality.
When we arrived at the Huagai Hall, the tables had been spread out.
Every Spring Festival, Winter Solstice and Lao Zhu’s birthday are celebrated here.
At this time of year, Lao Zhu is in a particularly good mood, especially this year, when all the children who have been away from home have returned.
The whole family gathered together, dressed happily, and he couldn't be happier.
"Where's Lao Liu? Why haven't you entered the palace yet?" Lao Zhu was writing Spring Festival couplets at the moment. This Spring Festival couplets originated from him. In previous years, it was very inconvenient to make peach charms and the common people couldn't afford them, so he got red paper and put it on the door.
The previous post is convenient and affordable, and can be used by thousands of households.
The most important thing is that Lao Zhu doesn't have much ink in his stomach, so he can't write poems or lyrics, but he loves to write couplets. Every year, he writes blessings, spring couplets, and couplets, which are his favorite activities.
"Grandpa Huang, how about I go call Uncle Six?" Zhu Yingxiong said.
"No need, tell the city guards that Shen Shimo will be locked on time!" Lao Zhu snorted, this bastard will definitely cause trouble for him during the Chinese New Year.
Zhu Yu quickly said to the fat eunuch beside him: "Mancang, go and have a look!"
Mancang's original name was Pu Zhengyong, and he was from Gaoli. Because he served Lao Zhu effectively, he was given the name Mancang, and then was given to Zhu Yu. He always took good care of Zhu Yu and gained Zhu Yu's trust.
Mancang nodded and was about to ask the young eunuch to invite Zhu Jun, but a voice came from outside, "His Royal Highness King Wu is here, Princess Lin'an is here!"
Hearing this, everyone looked out. Zhu Yingxiong was overjoyed and ran over, "Sixth Uncle!"
Little Fatty also followed behind. Zhu Gaoxu was still a little reluctant to let go. He was just wondering if he could go to the amusement park in Prince Wu's Mansion to play in the evening.
After all, viewing lanterns at night is really boring.
"Brother Six!" Zhu Zhen also came up to meet him. Zhu Bor and Zhu Stirrup were also moving up like dogs. Zhu Jun was now more confident. He wanted people and money, but he was not as miserable as them.
Ha ha.
Several people gathered around Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun picked up Zhu Yingxiong, then held Little Fatty and walked inside, "Father, eldest brother, fourth brother...I'm here!"
Seeing how popular Zhu Jun was, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Why, do we still have to go over to greet you?"
Zhu Yu pushed the wheelchair over, "Why is it so late?"
"Let's spend the New Year at home first, it's a little late!" As he said this, he asked Xun Busan to put down the gifts he had brought.
There were so many gifts that two carriages were pulled into the palace, followed by eunuchs holding gifts in their hands.
The gifts are divided into three categories, one for the little ones, one for the peers, and then those for the elders in the palace.
Putting down Zhu Yingxiong, he pointed at the gift and said, "Choose whatever you like!"
"Thank you Uncle Six!"
Zhu Yingxiong was overjoyed and ran over quickly. Little Fatty's speed was not slow at all. Zhu Gaoxu slowed down for half a beat and patted his thigh, "Save some good things for me!"
Seeing the three brothers fighting for each other, Zhu Jun laughed and looked at the other kids, "Go and choose, don't fight!"
"Dad, can we go there?" Zhu Sha's eldest son, Zhu Shangbing, looked at him eagerly.
"Everyone else is going, why can't you go?" Zhu Hao looked at his son's hopeless look and became so angry that he slapped him on the head and said in a low voice: "Go quickly, if you don't go, okay
Everything is gone!"
"Brothers, come on!" Zhu Shangbing waved his hand and rushed forward with his younger brothers.
"Slow down, don't fall!" Guanyin Nu reminded.
Although none of these children are her biological children, she has been taking care of them all these years.
Deng on the side sneered: "How can such a big child fall?"
She had always looked down on Guanyin Nu, and with Zhu Sha's acquiescence and permission, and relying on the fact that her father was Deng Yu, she almost sat on Guanyin Nu's head to defecate.
Guanyin Nu remained silent and fell out of favor after marrying Zhu Sha. She stayed in the backyard every day and only had a small square land in her life.
This time when he went to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang asked her to come with him.
Zhu Hao pulled Deng over and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang again. Fortunately, his attention was on Zhu Jun at this time and he did not notice this side.
He lowered his voice and said to Deng: "Be more careful in the palace, my father likes that cheap maid very much!"
Although Deng was dissatisfied, she could only endure it.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang once praised Guanyin Nu: "I will follow the way of women to help my country."
In his heart, his concubine was far inferior to this damn remnant of the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Gang's children were also a little moved. When their father nodded, they also screamed and rushed up.
A dozen naughty kids got together and started making a fuss.
"You bastard, grab my stuff!" Zhu Gaoxu took a fancy to the handsome doll at a glance, but before it even got warm, Zhu Shangbing snatched it away.
These brothers were like bandits, cooperating and suppressing Zhu Gaoxu.
The proud Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold back his anger, and they started fighting, "Brother, use your body to crush them to death!"
When Little Fatty saw his younger brother being bullied, he yelled and rushed over. At that time, several people were knocked to the ground.
All of a sudden, cries, noises, and sounds of triumphant showing off filled the hall.
Several princesses were also surprised and were about to step forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "Haha, let them fight, let them make trouble. A family that celebrates the Chinese New Year without children making trouble will not be prosperous!"
As soon as Lao Zhu spoke, the princesses all retreated angrily.
Mrs. Chang smiled and said: "Oh, the palace hasn't been so lively for a long time!"
Empress Ma was making dumplings at the moment. She was looking not far away while pinching the lace flexibly. For her, it was not a Chinese New Year if the whole family gathered together and did not eat a meal of dumplings.
She looked at Zhu Yingwen, who was being pulled tightly by Mrs. Lu, and couldn't help but said: "Let the child go if he wants to go. Playing with the children will make him grow faster and make him less sick. It's not good to keep the child close to him every day!"
"
Lu was startled and said in a panic: "Yes, I understand!"
Immediately, she let go of Zhu Yingwen and reminded: "The fun must be given to the brothers first, you know?"
Zhu Yingwen, who was unable to speak clearly, could not listen at this time and rushed over babbling.
Mrs. Chang also shook her head secretly. Mrs. Lu was careful and cautious in everything she did, but sometimes she was too cautious.
But she didn't say anything. She looked at Zhu Yingtong who was grabbing the dumpling skin and stuffing it into his mouth, and quickly held his hand, "You can't eat this!"
Zhu Yingtong's hand was pinched and he was so anxious that he started crying.
As soon as he cried, the milkbabies still in his hands started crying too.
