Chapter 79 Returning to Beijing (2)

The old man stood up and walked out while greeting Zhu Yunxi.

As he got older, the old man started looking for people. It is commonly known that he would panic when he couldn't see the person in his heart.

Zhao Baosheng was by the side. The cleverness that came from this man, who was not sure where he came from, actually stepped forward and held the old man's arm directly.

"You always pay attention to your feet, sliding on the ground!"

The guards next to him were stunned. That was the Supreme Emperor. Who would dare to take action directly? Even if you hold the Supreme Emperor's arm, it would be a ruthless person.

But the old man seemed to be a bit a bit a bit like this, smilingly holding the other person's arm, and joking, "You kid, you can be a servant in the palace, haha!" As he said, he smiled, "It's better outside the palace, lively!"

"Old Master, you're out for a walk. The big market here is not interesting!" Zhao Baosheng smiled. "There is a Lijia Shop twenty miles outside the northwest gate of Yingtian Mansion. Not only does it have a mule and horse market on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month, but also a dog market and a bird market, which is lively!"

"There is a roast goose in the Li family shop, which tastes great! It is soft, fragrant and glutinous. Even if you are old and have poor teeth, you can eat it. My wife's grandfather is over 90 years old, so can she eat half a meal?"

Hearing this, the old man stopped, "Be good, you're over ninety? Whose family? You're so lucky!"

Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, sixty means longevity and seventy means grand celebrations. People in their nineties do not have to kneel down even when they go to the yamen. On the contrary, local officials have to carry stools with their own hands. No matter how old the official is, they have to call the old man.

In this era, people will be respected if they live long.

"My wife's wife's family is an ordinary family. She is a big family in Zhangjia Village 30 miles away from the northern city. Hehe, their family is a little rich!" Zhao Baosheng grinned.

"After ninety!" The old man blinked, "Is there half a roast goose for a meal?"

"Well, I have to drink, it's almost half a pound!" Zhao Baosheng smiled, "That ancestor will eat, drink, and whore all his life..."

"Hahahaha!" the old man laughed, "A blessed person, a blessed person!" As he said, he sighed, "I will play in the world all my life, and I will live a long life. I am a blessed person!"

"That's right, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, all the children and grandchildren knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The ancestor said, "Who is the dark one? I'm dizzy when I look at it!" Zhao Baosheng said with a smile.

The old man's feet are about to cross the threshold, "All his sons are there?"

"Everyone is here, there are quite a few. My eldest son, my wife's uncle, is almost eighty now, and he is strong..."

Before Zhao Baosheng could finish, he felt someone pinch his waist. When he looked back, Park Bucheng looked at him fiercely, his eyes like a nail.

"I'm blessed!" The old man sighed and stood around at the door, "Where is our eldest grandson!"

"Grandpa, grandson is here!" Zhu Yunxiu lowered his head, not daring to let the old man look into his eyes and come out of the corner of the wall.

The old man stood on the steps of the teahouse and turned to Zhao Baosheng, "You said this, we are still energetic. So, it's still early, go to the Li shop you mentioned, and then go to your wife and grandfather's place to see, so let's enjoy the birthday star!"

As he said that, the old man's eyes turned, and the smile on his face instantly frozen when he saw Zhu Yunxiu.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little red, and he deliberately escaped from the old man's gaze. The guards around him also looked at their toes.

"Old man, your side..."

"I won't go!" The old man sighed, "It's getting late, we're going back." As he said that, he ignored anyone, and just carried his hands behind his back, pulled his cloth shoes onto the carriage, "Let's go, go back to the palace!"

He said that he was going back to the palace, but he didn't say that he was going back to Zhuangzi.

The carriage slowly advanced, and the team was a bit heavy.

The old man was in the carriage, and Zhu Yun was outside the carriage. The sun shone brightly in the sky, but his heart was like the cold winter in his heart.

"This is something that cannot be hidden. I will soon submit a memorial to the Zongzheng Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. Besides, I have never seen anything in my life? I just now had my eyes red, so I must have guessed some clues!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand slightly, and Deng Ping quickly walked over from the side.

"Tell the Imperial Hospital that you will go to the palace to serve immediately, and all kinds of life-saving medicines are ready!"

Deng Ping did not dare to be careless and agreed to get on the horse and whip.

Then, Zhu Yunxiu looked behind him again, with a solemn face and a vulgar Xi Yingzhen who was tilted on the shaft of the car.

Mr. Xi felt Zhu Yun's different gazes and slowly sat upright in the carriage. Then he signaled to the old man's carriage with his eyes, which made Zhu Yun's nod slightly.

There was nothing to say along the way, the towering palace city was right in front of you, and the carriage passed through the doorway, with the sound of ruts and horse hooves particularly loud and long.

Outside the palace gate, the old man got off the carriage and did not need anyone to support him. He slowly walked into the corridor of the deep palace with his hands behind his back and walked towards the Yong'an Palace.

The only one who followed everyone else was Zhu Yunyu behind him.

The scent of roses is full of the fragrance of flowers, and a few vines spread out playfully from behind the wall, climbing on the red wall, like a different painting.

The stone road is very clean and can shine with light. In the sun, the shadows of the grandparents and grandchildren are one by one on the wall.

Suddenly, the old man stopped, but did not turn around, "Is something wrong?"

Zhu Yunxiu bit his lip. He didn't want to tell the old man about the bad news, but he also knew that he seemed to be the only one who was the most suitable person in the world, and said these words to the old man.

He took two steps forward and held the old man's arm. Before he could speak, tears were about to slide from the corner of his eyes.

The old man stretched out his big hand, and the old man gently wiped Zhu Yunxi's cheek with a wry smile on his face. Although his voice was trying hard to control it, it was not difficult to hear the trembling in it. "Child, what's the matter? We can withstand it." As he said, he smiled bitterly again, "What else have we experienced in our life?"

The more he said this, the more Zhu Yunxi could not help crying.

He felt sorry for the old man.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Empress Ma left, and in the twenty-fifth year of Crown Prince Zhu Biao left. Then in the past few years, it was Zhu Cheng, King Qin, and now it was Zhu Cheng, King Jin.

A family, a whole family, and only the old man is left.

What the hell do for a man’s life? Isn’t he just living in this family, or his wife and children?

"Tell me!" The old man suddenly grabbed Zhu Yunxi's hand, "Big grandson, you say it's better than others telling us!"

"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Yunxiu slowly knelt down on both knees and hugged the old man's legs.

He looked up at the old man's eyes, and the old man was also looking at him, waiting for the following words.

"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Yunxi's voice choked, "You have to promise your grandson that you can't listen..."

"We are a man of iron!" The old man touched Zhu Yunxi's head, his eyes instantly covered with blood. "It's not time to close our eyes yet, tell me, we can hold on!"

I feel extremely sad, but I still have to say something.

"Uncle San..." Zhu Yunxiu couldn't continue to say it.

"What's wrong with the third brother?" The old man suddenly widened his eyes, "What's wrong with our third brother? What's wrong with our third brother?"

"Uncle San!" Zhu Yunxiu mustered up the courage to speak, but he didn't have the courage to look at the old man in the eyes again, "It's dead!"

"Ah!" The old man shook violently, and then he supported Zhu Yunxi's shoulders with both hands to maintain balance.

"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Yunxi exclaimed and hugged the old man.
