New Year’s Eve is not just about celebrating the New Year

Zhu Yunyong and Lao Zhu talked about some things. For them, New Year's Eve is naturally an extremely important festival. But for them, such a festival is just a festival, which does not mean that they will definitely ignore many things.

It is possible to talk about political affairs anytime and anywhere, which can be regarded as the character traits of Zhu Yunyong and Lao Zhu. There is no need to make a fuss about them having such behaviors. After all, they are all workaholics and they are all taking the country of Ming Dynasty.

, taking the world of Lao Zhu family very seriously, they all have their own pursuits and ambitions.

It was just that the two of them had a brief chat. After all, they were not in the court, nor were they talking specifically about political affairs.

Xu Miaoqing's status is quite special. Not to mention Zhang Meiren, even Concubine Guo Ning is more cooperative with Xu Miaoqing at this time. This time when the Tian family celebrates the New Year together, Xu Miaoqing is obviously the mistress of the family, because she is the empress of the Ming Dynasty.

.

Lao Zhu was quite pleased, looked at Xu Miaoqing and said, "My granddaughter-in-law is the queen of the general family, decisive in dealing with things, and a good wife to Ying'er."

Xu Miaoqing was polite. She didn't dare to be as shameless as Zhu Yunyong, "The emperor's grandpa is too praised. This is what a grandson's daughter-in-law should do."

"We remember that there is a pair of Ruyi jade in the treasury, let's give it to our grandson-in-law." Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyong and said with a smile, "There are also a few east beads, let's give them to my grandson-in-law so that she can make some jewelry.

"

Zhu Yunyong laughed and said immediately, "Forget it about Dongzhu, my grandson also has some good things in his library."

"In your library?" Lao Zhu was disgusted and said to Zhu Yunyong, "The good things from Nanyang will either be rewarded to you by the people below, or they will be taken away by Yunxi. Don't say anything about this.

Yes, I gave it to my grandson-in-law."

Zhu Yunxi's daughter-in-law, Sang, is a little aggrieved. She is a little grandson-in-law. It's just that her little grandson-in-law doesn't seem to be paid much attention to by the emperor. The emperor only thinks about his eldest grandson-in-law, and he leaves some good things to his eldest grandson.

Daughter-in-law. Little granddaughter-in-law, just the little granddaughter-in-law.

Little Zhu grabbed the longan and handed it to his aunt, "Auntie, longan."

Princess Baoqing took the longan and said with a milky voice, "Prince, my father hasn't eaten it yet."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately said, "You eat, don't worry about us."

All the princes and princesses are sour. This does not mean that Lao Zhu dotes on his young daughter. It is simply that Lao Zhu likes the current crown prince Zhu Wenyin. This is the heart of the Supreme Emperor.

Zhu Yunyong laughed and then said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has been idle recently and asked the craftsmen to think about getting a piece of land. Grandpa Huang, if he has nothing to do, he will cultivate the land. We will cultivate the land in the future.

Whether you can eat green vegetables in winter depends on Grandpa Huang."

Off-season vegetables are actually not very fresh in the Ming Dynasty, but the threshold for such vegetables is also high. Generally speaking, they are only available to the royal family, and they are not widely eaten.

Some extravagant noble families might also be able to get some off-season vegetables.

Lao Zhu originally wanted to tease Zhu Yunyong, but seeing that there were princes and others beside him, it was hard to say anything. He was joking because Zhu Yunyong had left him idle and sent him to plant vegetables. Those princes

Maybe we have other ideas in our minds.

Obviously, there are some things that Lao Zhu would not say to some of his descendants, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

This is the time when the family is reunited, and this is the time to spend New Year's Eve together.

Lao Zhu sat on the main seat without hesitation. Zhu Yunyong declined. He did not intend to sit under Lao Zhu. But the other princes murmured in their hearts that their eldest nephew had already ascended the throne. Lao Zhu also meant the same thing. Usually,

We can just talk about the family ranking for a little bit, but Zhu Yunyong has already ascended the throne, so it is not suitable for others to sit at the top of Zhu Yunyong.

Xu Miaoqing smiled and said, "I'd better go and sit at the same table with the imperial aunts, so that I can feel more comfortable."

Lao Zhu nodded and agreed directly, "That's fine, we still want to drink."

Well, regardless of whether Xu Miaoqing is a queen, in Lao Zhu's eyes, it is just that. If it were not for Zhu Yunyong's face, it is still unknown whether this grandson's daughter-in-law would be qualified to sit on the table.

Just look at Lian Qiongqiong. She is so busy that she is not qualified to sit down now. Including Concubine Guo Ning, Zhang Meiren and others, they are not qualified to sit down. Lao Zhu is not qualified to sit down at this time either.

I hope that others who serve me are family members.

Little Zhu was left behind, being held by Old Zhu, "Yin'er, it's the Chinese New Year, you should have a drink with your great-great-grandfather."

"I don't drink, and dad doesn't allow me to drink." Little Zhu leaned in Lao Zhu's arms and raised his hands, "Great-grandfather, I'm four years old."

Four years old, this is naturally a false age. It’s just that this four-year-old little guy has fat little hands deep inside, and you can’t count them from one to ten. This little guy is probably the best at being cute, and his

Monster Daddy is different.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere is quite good, mainly because Lao Zhu is relatively relaxed at this time. Even though Lao Zhu usually has a strict personality, at this time, Lao Zhu is obviously more relaxed.

This is New Year's Eve after all, so of course there is no need to keep a straight face at this time.

"Yin'er, for the dinner, we will go to Fengtian Palace with my great-grandfather." Old Zhu hugged little Zhu and said with a smile, "Today is New Year's Eve, and all the civil and military officials will come to the palace to congratulate you. You will go with us. It will be very lively."

Xiao Xiao Zhu got excited when he heard it. He struggled to get out of Lao Zhu's arms and lay down on the ground.

"Long live the mountain!"

Children's ability to imitate is so strong. Little Zhu has now learned this trick, which also makes old Zhu and Laohuai happy. What kind of grandson do you want to play with? With such a great-grandson, Caiyi plays with you.

This is enough, this is the most important thing.

Zhu Yunyong also stood up at this time and said with a smile, "Then my grandson and Yin'er will pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Huang together."

On the side of the female family members, Xu Miaoqing naturally stood up quickly, and Lian Qiongqiong and Wang did not dare to be careless. As Zhu Yunyong's wives and concubines, they cannot be rude in such an occasion. They have to advance and retreat together. At this time, they also need to pay attention to filial piety.

Lao Zhu sat happily and said, "Okay, the Emperor will give us New Year's greetings first."

Picking up Xiao Zhu, Zhu Yunyong smiled and said, "Yin'er, wait a moment."

When Xu Miaoqing stood up slightly behind Zhu Yunyong, Wang Chengen immediately said, "Bye."

Zhu Yunyong led his wife, concubines and children to kneel down. As for Lao Zhu's children or concubines, they are not qualified to kneel down at this time. They are just standing by and watching. The reason is also very simple. Lao Zhu is very clear about these things. Now it is

The emperor's family paid him New Year's greetings.

Wang Chengen said loudly, "The mountain is calling."

Zhu Yunyong took the lead, with perfect etiquette, "Long live."

"Shanhu!"

"Long live!"

"Shanhu!"

"Long live!"

Xiao Zhu treated it as a game, but completed the New Year greetings in a decent manner. Xiao Zhu Ruyi started crying, which also made Xiao Zhu very anxious. Although she likes to play games with Aunt Xiao Huang, Xiao Zhu also

I know he is the elder brother, but now he is busy coaxing his younger sister.

At the end of Zhu Yunyong's family's centenary, Zhu Yunyong acted as the salute officer. The princes and princesses of Lao Zhu who had not yet left the palace obediently paid New Year's greetings at this time. As for Zhu Yunyong, the special prince who was called temporarily, he was at the end of the New Year greeting queue.

.

After the New Year greetings, they continued to laugh and feast.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi and said with a smile, "Yunxi, do you know why I asked you to enter the palace today?"

Zhu Yunxi usually jumped away, but he didn't dare at this time, "Sun Chen knows that the emperor's brother has just ascended the throne, and Sun Chen is going to go."

"Confused!" Lao Zhu criticized and said, "If you had focused your thoughts on eating, drinking and having fun on business, your imperial brother wouldn't have such a headache. Today's banquet, you have to take the initiative. Your imperial brother has a noble status.

There are some ministers who are not suitable for your royal brother to come forward,"

Zhu Yunxi grimaced and begged for mercy, "Grandpa Huang, Sun Chen can't even recognize all the ministers in the court."

"Look at the look in our eyes!" Lao Zhugang said. Seeing Zhu Yunxi's grimace, he said angrily, "You can't see the look in our eyes. Just be obedient. If I tell you to go, you go."

If your imperial brother asks you to go, just go!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed, looking very confident, "Sun Chen understands!"

Zhu Yunxi doesn't like things that use his brain very much. His little intelligence is basically used for eating, drinking, having fun or doing evil things. He really doesn't want to use his brain to think about other things.

After drinking a little bit, Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunyong were considered to be half drunk. However, they all knew that there was still a big banquet, so everyone knew that it was not the right time to get drunk. They had extremely important things to do next.

There are many things to be done, and each one must be done carefully.

The reason why they were slightly drunk is because the banquet at Fengtian Hall has been prepared. Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu naturally set off with Xiao Zhu. Such a festival, for these people with special status,

It must be done well, and political occasions like this need to be done well. Especially when the new emperor Zhu Yunyong ascends the throne, we must not slack off.

Many people were watching eagerly at this time, because with such a grand banquet, many people could see who was truly favored in the minds of the new emperor, and perhaps the future structure of the court.

Since this is the case, these occasions become even more special. It is natural that everyone pays more attention at this time. No one is surprised. It seems that the monarch and his subjects are spending New Year's Eve together, but many people have other things in mind at this time.

some ideas.

It's normal to have thoughts, and it's human nature to have thoughts. If you don't have some thoughts, that would be worrying.

Zhu Yunyong and Lao Zhu discussed it carefully. Some ministers may want to highlight themselves. But some people may feel disappointed.
