"My grandson wishes Grandpa Huang a happy new year!"
"My son wishes my father a happy New Year!"
The Yong'an Palace was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Zhu Yunxi took the lead and led Prince An, Prince Tang, Prince Yi and several other young men to stand in front of the old man, kowtow and salute.
"Okay, okay, everything is fine!"
The old man was dressed in new clothes, sitting on the grand master's chair, holding a bunch of gold coins tied with red strings in his hand, looking very festive.
This is commonly known as money that suppresses evil spirits, bless peace and suppress evil spirits.
In the folk world, red strings are used to thread copper coins, while in the royal family, specially minted colored coins are used.
"Come on, come on, six pounds, you're one year older!" The old man automatically ignored Zhu Yunxi in the front, and instead handed him six pounds behind him and pinched his little face.
"Twenty-two, you are one year older and will soon be married. It's safe!"
"Twenty-three, come on, take care of the New Year's money your father gave you!"
"Twenty-six...don't stick out your tongue and lick..."
With a loving smile on his face, the old man handed strings of money to the children with his own hands.
"Xiao Fu'er, our little girl. Come, my father gave it to you!"
"Father, I want two strings!" Xiao Fu'er hugged the old man's legs and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay!" The old man laughed again, "My daughter can have as many as she wants!"
Then, looking at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui standing at the end of the crowd with their heads lowered, "What are you two doing? Come here and get the money!"
The two brothers had lowered their heads and been cautious from the moment they entered the palace. After hearing this, they hurried forward and said, "My grandson thanks the imperial grandfather!"
"Well, everything is fine!" The old man smiled and handed over the money, "Everything is fine!"
Zhu Yunxi was standing next to the old man, seeing all the dragon sons and grandsons happily taking the old man's money, but he was empty-handed.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Where is my grandson's?"
"You are already my father, why are you trying to squeeze money out of me? Isn't it embarrassing?" The old man glared at him.
"Even if your grandson becomes a grandfather, he is still your grandson!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man smiled, spread his hands and said, "It's useless to say anything, it's gone!" After that, he nodded and said, "Your aunt asked for two portions. If you want it, go with your aunt!"
Here, he smiled and said, "Those who celebrate the New Year must kowtow to pay New Year greetings!"
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at little Fu'er, who was not even taller than his thigh, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
"Brother Xi, would you like to wish me a happy new year?" Xiao Fu'er raised two strings of money in his hands and said with a sly smile.
Zhu Gaosui, who was hiding at the end of the princes and grandsons, covered his mouth and snickered when he saw this, and whispered, "Give me some money!"
Zhu Gaochi gave Lao San a hard elbow, causing him to stagger.

"My son, I wish my father a happy New Year!"
After the old man finished giving out, it was Zhu Yunxi's turn as the head of the family.
The six-pound brat, holding what the old man had just given him, knelt down again and looked at it eagerly.
"Well, I'm a year older after the Chinese New Year, so I need to be sensible!" Zhu Yunxi said with a straight face, showing off the airs of a strict father.
"My son... I wish my father a happy New Year!"
"Okay!" Facing his second son Sijin, Zhu Yunxi was also particularly friendly, "After the Chinese New Year, you will also start studying, and you must be eager to learn."
The second son weighs four pounds and six pounds and is completely different. He behaves like a quiet and well-behaved baby.
"Father, I wish you a happy New Year..."
"Hey, Yaya, come to Father!" Seeing his daughter, Zhu Yunxi's heart melted.
I couldn't help but hold Yaya on my lap, and stuffed two bunches of colorful coins over her, "Father gave you double portions, take it!"
"Giggle!" Yaya laughed happily.
Zhu Yunxi hugged his daughter and glanced to one side, where he saw the happy old man holding Xiao Fu'er.
"It seems like no one has a daughter!" He thought to himself, and then he felt a little uncomfortable.
Just now when the old man was sending money, there was a long line of people. When he came here, there were only two or three kittens.
Suddenly, he saw two brothers, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui, one fat and one thin, standing behind with their heads lowered.
"Come here, you two!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"For the Chinese New Year, family gifts will suffice." Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly.
"According to family etiquette, you have to call me cousin!" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
"Here, I don't have anything for you during the Chinese New Year, just for good luck!" Zhu Yunxi took off two strings of colored coins and said with a smile.
The two brothers were stunned. They were peers, so how could there be any reason to squeeze money out of them?
But even if the emperor gave it to them, they didn't dare not accept it.
"My lord, thank you Your Majesty!"
"Papa!" Yaya smiled in Zhu Yunxi's arms and clapped her hands. Because her teeth had just been replaced, her words were a little leaky, "Father gave them Ya... money!"
Suddenly, both brothers' faces turned blue.
Yaya suddenly went outside again and looked at the two brothers carefully, "Father, who are they?"
"You should call the one on the left uncle, and the one on the right uncle!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "They are all from your fourth grandfather's family, and they are cousins of the emperor."
"Who is the fourth grandpa?" Yaya pondered again, then looked at Zhu Gaochi and said with a smile, "You are so chubby!" As she said this, she even opened her hands affectionately.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi was slightly startled.
But he still subconsciously held it carefully in his arms and supported it with his arms.
"Giggle!" Yaya laughed, stretched out her hand to grab Zhu Gaochi's chubby chin, and rubbed it, "Father, he is so soft!"
"Don't be rude!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Zhu Gaochi held the child and giggled on the spot.
Zhu Gaosui next to him also opened his mouth and laughed like a fool.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. When he looked down, it was Xiao Fu'er who stretched out his hand aggrievedly, "Brother Xi, where's mine?"
"Expressing money?" Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "You are senior, so I can't give it to you!"
"Father!" Xiao Fu'er curled his lips and looked back at the old man pitifully, "Brother Xi doesn't like me!"
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, the old man stood there with a stern look on his face.
"Yes, yes!" Zhu Yunxi said hurriedly, then took out the money string and hung it on Xiao Fu'er's wrist.
But the next second, several young princes also gathered around, each looking at Zhu Yunxi with bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, where is ours?" Zhu Ying started with a wicked smile, and all the young princes winked.
"Go ahead, why are you causing trouble?"
"Who should I let go? They are all your uncles!" As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, the old man became angry.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It seems that there is no reason for a nephew to send money to his uncle, right?"
"They have higher seniority, but which one is not younger than you?" The old man crossed his legs and dangling his cloth shoes on his toes, "I have given you the country, but you are short of these two dollars? Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not?"
Zhu Yunxi had no doubt that if he dared to say no, the old man's cloth shoes would fly over in the next second.
Then he said continuously, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Then, one after another, they said, "We have them all, don't grab them!"
The young princes who received the gambling money cheered for joy, and each of them argued over the colored coins in their hands.
At this time, Xiao Fu'er wandered in front of brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui again, waving the colored coins in his hand without saying anything, and looked at the two brothers with his eyes.
The two brothers felt uncomfortable being looked at. This little aunt was the old man's pet peeve. Who dared to mess with her?
"Um..." Zhu Gaochi thought about it, "You...?"
"Where are you two?" Xiao Fu'er spread his hands, "Squeeze money!"
"Oh!" Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized, and the money he took from Zhu Yunxi was transferred to Xiao Fu'er's hand before he could warm it up.
The latter left with satisfaction to show off to the old man.
l Seeing a pile of shining golden coins in his daughter's hand, the old man laughed and praised, "Ha, you can see that our little girl knows how to live a good life. She knows how to catch money at such a young age!"
Yaya bit her fingers in Zhu Gaochi's arms, looked over there with envy, then turned around and said, "Where's mine?"
"This..." Brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui suddenly stared at each other, at a loss.
"Father!" Yaya curled her lips, opened her hands for Zhu Yunxi to hug her, and burst into tears of grievance, "They won't give Yaya any money!"
"What are you two doing?" Before Zhu Yunxi could say anything, the old man over there shouted loudly, "You're making a child cry during the Chinese New Year?"
