There are no foreign ministers in the palace, they are all members of the Zhu family.
The old man waved his hand and told Guanglu Temple to pass on the meal!
The catering for the New Year's Eve in the palace is jointly supervised by the monks and supervisors of Guanglu Temple. After the old man finished speaking, the palace people in colorful costumes filed out, holding exquisite gold and silver utensils that were not seen on ordinary days.
Tables and chairs have been set up in the main hall, and the concubines in the harem are seated one by one according to their rank. The one closest to the old man is Concubine Guo Hui, followed by Concubine Sun, Concubine Zheng and others. After that are the concubines, and at the end is the one with the lowest status.
beauty.
These concubines are of different ages, but the youngest one is nearly thirty years old. Although she is older, she is still beautiful in her dress. After sitting down, she is full of jewels.
The old man and Zhu Yunxi sat at the same table, and Pu Bucheng was waiting beside them.
Your Majesty, this year’s menu is all set by His Highness! Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
Are you afraid that your grandpa won't be able to eat well? The old man smiled and said, his mind is on big things, and these servants will take care of these things!
I'm not afraid that you won't be able to eat well, but I'm afraid that you will be frugal in everything! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The shiny gold and silver vessels were covered with lids, and the palace was filled with the aroma of delicacies. On the concubine's table, there were roasted clams, fried shrimps, frog legs and chicken breasts with bamboo shoots, sea cucumbers, sole fish, shark tendons, fat chickens, and pigs.
The tendons are cooked in one place, in two steaming pots.
In addition to these, they also have salted drum and mustard lamb tripe plate on their table, garlic vinegar and white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, yuan-juice lamb bones, spicy-vinegar paste kidneys, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed gluten, lamb crystal horns, silk
Goose noodle soup and other savory dishes.
In addition, there is a Pepsi Lucky Box, which contains persimmons, lychees, round eyes, chestnuts, and ripe dates. There are also three products of fresh fruits, three products of dried fruits, and three products of wine.
That's quite a lot! The old man looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, can we two eat it?
If you can't finish eating, give the reward to the guards outside, so that they can take it to the family to eat! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Grandpa, the Ming Dynasty is rich and will not lack our meal!
Zhu Yunxi is not a luxurious person, but whether the old man celebrates the Chinese New Year or not, he only has three or four dishes and one soup, which is indeed a bit shabby. Besides, most of these dishes are tributes. In the large treasury of the Shangshan Supervisor, there are mountains of delicacies from all over the place.
.
This table of dishes! The old man held the golden chopsticks and said with a smile, forty years ago, your grandfather would not have dared to think of it. He said, laughing and scolding, he has never seen it before!
Grandpa, try this pot! Zhu Yunxi served the old man a bowl and said with a smile, "While it's hot!"
The old man took it and looked at the dishes on the table carefully, wondering, where are the dumplings? Why are there no dumplings?
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, "Don't worry!" He clapped his hands gently and said with a smile, "The dumplings are here!"
The old man's puzzled gaze saw more than a dozen women in palace attire coming in with smiles on their faces, holding trays.
Father, happy New Year! All the ladies bow down.
Why are you here? The old man asked doubtfully.
These women are all princesses of the Ming Dynasty. First of all, Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Qingyang. First they kowtowed in front of the old man, and then three silver plates were placed on the long table where the vegetables were placed. (The Emperor
When dining with the crown prince, there is a small table, and the dishes are placed separately on a large table, and are served by eunuchs).
Princess Lin'an picked up a few ingot-shaped dumplings with her own hands, knelt down and presented them to her, kowtowing and saying, "My father raised my daughter and waited for decades, but my daughter had nothing to repay. In the past, my mother would make dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but this year my daughters will give them to you with their own hands."
I made dumplings for the New Year, try it. How much does it taste like?
Father, please try it!
Father, this is the first time for my daughter to cook!
In front of them are the daughters who have grown up and are married. Their eyes are as clear as when they were children. The older ones in the front are better, but the younger ones in the back are still as charming and naive when they talk as if they were in the palace.
In his heart, his son is a treasure, and his daughter is also a treasure. Among his brothers, he was the only male left at that time, and they were both men and women. They were all blood of the Zhu family. If he really didn't take his daughter seriously, he would
It's impossible for all the princes-in-law to be in high positions.
Okay! The old man trembled, picked up a dumpling, and put it into his mouth.
Zhu Yunxi looked on, feeling satisfied in his heart.
Satisfied after fulfilling filial piety, which old man in the world doesn't want his children to be around and lively during the New Year? It's just that sometimes the Tian family has to stay apart due to etiquette and law. The old man is getting older, and his heart is about the relationship between the country and the country.
Besides, what I miss most are my children and grandchildren.
During the festive season, we miss our loved ones even more. Not only do the younger generation miss their elders, but the elders miss their younger generation even more.
What you are eating is stuffed with celery. This celery is fresh vegetables that my daughter and sisters went to pick at the imperial village outside the city! Princess Ningguo, who was born by Queen Ma, smiled and said, when making stuffing, she specially found the celery that was originally beside her mother.
The palace servants did exactly the same thing as the queen did!
The old man usually smacks his mouth when he eats, and he eats very quickly.
But now I eat it in small bites, as if I'm afraid that if I swallow it in one bite, I won't be able to taste it.
It tastes like that! It's delicious! Hmm... As he said that, the old man's face was slightly stunned, he opened his mouth and a small gold coin fell out.
Father, you are so lucky! Princess Lin'an smiled and said, "My daughters made two hundred dumplings, with two coins in them. You can eat them in one bite!"
Haha, we are all this old, what is the use of this? The old man smiled happily, everyone sat down to eat! Then he turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, you kid, try your best to make us happy!
I have told you a long time ago that your aunts will come to celebrate the New Year! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, how can a family share the meaning of celebrating the New Year! He said with a smile, Grandpa, your aunts, grandsons, and granddaughters, for the next half a while
Come here on time. Come tonight, I’m sure you’ll be dazzled!
You kid! The old man laughed and scolded again, "Pu Bucheng, pour us two glasses of wine!"
It is the Spring Festival of the 25th year of Hongwu. There are at most five Spring Festivals before the old man leaves. One less year after the other, the old man loves Zhu Yunxi to the core, so why is Zhu Yunxi the same?
The best filial piety is to accompany the elderly on their last journey. Let the elderly walk happily and without regrets on the last road of life.
In the past few years, I strive to be lively and happy every year, and don’t let the old man worry about it anymore. Everything in the family and the world will be prosperous.
In fact, after sending the old man away, Zhu Yunxi probably has no chance of family affection in this life. Treating the old man well is not like being kind to himself.
A noisy day passed. On New Year's Eve, several fires were lit in the open space in front of the palace. The blazing bonfires lit up the night sky, accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers. The palace was full of smiling faces.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is Zhengdan.
Officials of sixth rank or above in Beijing must go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
Fengtian Hall has a majestic atmosphere of the heavenly family. There is an incense table in the east of the hall, and there are musicians in the west. Outside the hall, palace people in colorful clothes stand with their hands hanging down.
Bang, a cannon sounded, and hundreds of officials slowly entered from outside the Meridian Gate.
Bang, two cannons were fired, and the ceremonial officer guided the officials to go through the left gate and the right gate. After entering the Fengtian Hall, stand on the east and west sides of the palace platform and face the north.
Bang, three cannons were fired, and Pu Bucheng led the twelve eunuchs into the Huagai Hall next to Fengtian Hall, and invited the old man and Zhu Yunxi to enter Fengtian Hall and take the throne.
The two men were dressed in dragon robes and slowly walked up the imperial steps. The old man's dragon chair was wiped clean, and the golden dragon on it had wide eyes and was full of majesty. Next to the dragon chair, there was a round stool with a golden dragon wrapped around it, as a sign of honor to the emperor. Designed for the grandson.
Long live my emperor!
The grandson of the emperor is a thousand years old!
As the curtain in front of the throne slowly opened, the ministers knelt down and shouted loudly under the guidance of the ceremony officials. The musicians in the palace played ritual music, and the bells and drums rang in unison.
When the music fell, Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, played the lyrics on behalf of the officials.
Officials and ministers, etc., this is the first day of the lunar month, the three Yangs are prosperous, and all things are new. I respectfully express my sincere gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for his blessings, and may God provide eternal prosperity.
Then, Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked over to celebrate, and was the same as Qing!
Then, music was played again, and the officials led the officials, and the officials went to the banquet.
Today's banquet dishes are not as sumptuous as yesterday's, but there are red envelopes given by the emperor on every table.
Civil and military personnel were separated and lined up on both sides of the main hall.
When we were working for the people in the early years! In the main hall, the old man spoke slowly and helped the wealthy families. During the Chinese New Year, everyone would prepare a table of hard food to reward the workers. You are the servants of the Ming Dynasty, and we, the head of the Ming Dynasty, , I can’t treat you badly!
On the New Year's Day, everyone is celebrating together! The old man continued, dear friends, please drink this cup with me. May I have a great Ming Dynasty, good weather and good weather, and may my country be prosperous forever!
After some congratulations, the banquet began in the main hall.
It was lively, but in such a scene, everyone was somewhat alienated. In previous years, those military officers and nobles would have made a fuss and toasted, but this year, after the Lan Yu incident, everyone had more worries.
Among the generals, Fu Youde and other veterans were in the front, while the Chang family brothers were in the back. They drank only lightly and behaved very restrainedly.
Pu Bucheng! Zhu Yunxi said.
Your Highness! Your servant is here!
Invite King Shen, King Tang and others to come over?
This... Pu Bucheng looked at the old man.
You are giving a banquet to all the ministers, what are they doing here? The old man frowned, you are the crown prince, go down and walk around in a while. Forget about others, you have to be a good example for those meritorious veterans!
Don't worry, my grandson will let you see the jokes first! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Not long after, several bad boys like Shen Wang and Tang Wang came in smiling.
After first paying tribute to the old man and Zhu Yunxi, a few bad boys walked among the ministers and looked at their uncles with smiles.
Zhao Long, who had just been promoted to the post of Chief Minister of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, felt his heart pounding when he looked at Tang Wang Zhu Kuang who was winking and smiling at him.
Your Highness!
Even my uncle could only stand up and bow to me on this occasion.
Suddenly, Zhu Huang picked up a knife from the table.
Your Highness! People around him suddenly exclaimed.
Red envelope, big red envelope! Zhu Huang used a knife to cut his hair, otherwise, his uncle will die!
At the same time, each young prince extended his little hand to his uncle.
The main hall of Nuo University was filled with their childish shouts and red envelopes!
~~~The chapters that connect the previous and the following are not my water. Everyone thinks that the description of water requires a lot of information to find out.
I have tried to shorten the process of celebrating the New Year as much as possible. And because it is shortened, the rhythm is ruined. But for you, everything is worth it, buy it.
