With good fortune comes good fortune. Just after little Fu'er was born, a light snow fell in the capital.
In winter, snow is auspicious, which means auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
The good news of adding a new child to the palace seemed to have wiped away the worries and worries in the entire capital because of Zhao Mian's stolen goods. The emperor raised his head high and put it down gently, without grabbing many of his comrades as before. .Not to mention shocking torture outside the imperial city.
Some people wonder if the emperor is getting older and has become soft-hearted.
But more people understood that the old emperor was slowly transferring the royal power of dealing with courtiers to the emperor's grandson.
Raising his sword from Huaixi, conquering and killing people, and ruling the world for so many years, the old emperor is tired.
The emperor's grandson is wise and resolute, and has the appearance of a master of the Ming Dynasty. Like the sun's birth, it shines brightly on the Ming Dynasty. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the power of the Ming Dynasty is slowly being handed over. Like the first snow, it moistens everything silently.
A snowfall washes away the impetuosity of the capital and makes the appearance of the capital more vivid.
Different from the snow-covered land in the north, the snow in the south is only a little bit. It does not cover everything on the earth, but is like a pure white and silver embellishment. It hangs on the branches of colorful winter flowers and on the branches of plum blossoms. buds, ancient pines hanging in the mountains.
The contrast between red and white, and the coolness of the snowflakes, carry the color of Jiangnan. The early winter in Jiangnan is very similar to the early spring in the north. It is like a woman covering her shoulders, revealing half of her face, and wanting to say goodbye, full of charm. .
Laojun Temple outside the city is located on the hillside of Qixia Mountain, which is the place with the most beautiful snow scenery around the capital. There are literati and dignitaries. Wearing gorgeous winter clothes, friends gather in groups to enjoy the snow in the mountains and look up at the green pine branches.
Even ordinary men and women are happy to play here. There are young couples who travel together, and they hang out hand in hand when no one is around. The man picks a red winter flower and puts it in the woman's hair.
Looking at the beauty's face again, it is as red as a flower and against the snow, one can't help but look at it.
At this time, there was a young couple, they were newlyweds, and they couldn't get enough of each other. The man held the woman's hand, and the woman lowered her head and blushed shyly. Seeing that there was no one around, the man's eyes became more intense.
He gently exhaled a breath of hot breath, couldn't help but look around, and then slowly stepped forward.
The shyness on the woman's cheeks was even more intense. It was even redder than the plum blossoms in her hair, making her face look like peach blossoms.
The man slowly came closer, and the woman lowered her hands and closed her eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were close to each other, the man tilted his head slightly and moved towards the woman.
What are you doing?
Suddenly, behind the two of them, in the pavilion hidden among the rocks, a loud shout came.
An old man with a white beard wearing a fur coat poked his head out of the pavilion and looked at the young couple with a frown.
Suddenly, the young man trembled in fright. The young woman quickly covered her face.
Then in a flash of lightning, the man took the woman's hand and ran away, leaving messy footprints on the snow.
Hahaha! The old man in the fur coat in the pavilion laughed loudly, looked at the direction in which the beautiful lady was running away, and said with a loud laugh, this boy is stupid, I will scare him away with just one word! If it had been done when we were young, the King of Heaven would I’m here, I’m going to eat it too!
In the pavilion, a young man with a face as warm as jade, wrapped in a fox fur cloak, sighed and rolled his eyes, Grandpa, you are a bit disrespectful!
The old man turned back and said with a smile, "How can this be considered disrespectful? If your grandpa had seen this kind of thing back then, he would have just pulled that stupid man away and put him on the spot..." .... As he said that, the old man also felt that something was wrong. He looked around and saw the statue-like guards five steps away saying, "Why haven't the drinks and dishes we asked for come yet? It's so slow?"
As soon as the voice fell, a bow-legged old man without a beard jumped out from the side. The slave girl went to hurry up!
These grandfather and grandson are none other than the old man Zhu Yunxi who came out to play.
People are in high spirits during happy events. The old man got an old girl, and he seems to be decades younger. He talks and laughs in private and his face is full of joy.
If the ministers saw the old man like this, they would definitely bite off their tongues. Is this still the decisive and decisive emperor in their hearts, who is the king of hell and the Jade Emperor?
After the old man played a prank and scared away a couple, he seemed to have become more playful. He stood in the pavilion and kept looking outside. He looked at the mountains and rivers covered with light snow and the crowds of tourists. Looking at Laojun in the distance, he watched the looming incense.
Grandpa! It’s windy today, don’t get cold!
Zhu Yunxi walked over slowly, helped the old man tighten the leather straps, and said with a smile, why don't we find a place to shelter from the wind?
The pavilions are scattered in the mountains, ventilated from all sides, and slightly dilapidated. When the two of them were traveling in the mountains, the old man fell in love with this place for some reason and wanted to rest here.
The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Today we and I will learn from those scholars and enjoy the snow and drink wine!" Then, look around again, where are the wine and food? They haven't come yet?
At this time, Pu Bucheng commanded several people on the winding mountain road, carrying a bunch of things on his shoulders and trotting over. After a while, busy work began in the somewhat broken pavilion.
Some of the palace guards wrapped a blanket made of wool around the pavilion to block the wind. However, it could not block the view of the two masters, and it was necessary to allow them to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
While the two men were at it, a yellow peat stove was lit. On the red charcoal fire, there was a smoking casserole. When the lid was lifted, the fragrant aroma of winter melon and mutton meatballs filled the boiling white soup.
On the low table next to the casserole, there is a jade pot with hot wine, and other dishes are filled with various condiments, chopped green onion, coriander and other items.
Zhu Yunxi served the old man a bowl with his own hands and said with a smile, "Grandpa, be careful because it's hot!"
The old man didn't care, he blew a big puff of hot air casually, and then he frowned because it was so hot. After a long while, he let out a breath of comfort, so comfortable!
After saying that, he took another bite and said with a sigh, the east melon was too soft and I couldn't eat the top. Why don't you use radish to stew the mutton?
Zhu Yunxi poured wine for the old man again and said with a smile, winter melon is the best and most nutritious to eat in this season!
Ha! The old man smiled, grandson, you are wrong. As the old saying goes, eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer. These two things are more nourishing than ginseng. After harvesting radishes, put them in the cellar. Eat them in winter, they are crispy. It’s sweet and much more fragrant than this winter melon!
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass next to him, but did not drink it. Instead, he looked askance at Pu Bucheng, "What the hell is this?"
Pu Bucheng timidly looked at Zhu Yunxi and said, Your Majesty, this is some warm rice wine for you!
You want us to drink the cooking stuff too? The old man said angrily, where is our soju?
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi quickly said, Grandpa Huang, the imperial doctor looked at you a few days ago and said that it would be better for you to drink less alcohol!
People should pay attention to maintenance when they are old. Every two months, Zhu Yunxi will ask people from Tai Hospital to check the old man's pulse, take a look at his body, and prescribe some treatment prescriptions. The old man has no serious problems, but after all, he is old and has some blood.
Not smooth. So the old man wanted to drink today, so Zhu Yunxi secretly signaled and changed it to less strong rice wine.
That's not the case! The old man was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't get angry with his eldest grandson. He muttered, "We can't get used to drinking rice wine. Don't think it's light, but I get a headache after drinking too much. Besides, it's snowing, so let's drink it."
Warm yourself up with some soju, what's up?
Grandpa Huang, my grandson is thinking about your health! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, the wind is strong in the mountains. If you drink soju and blow the wind when you go back, you will easily get sick!
Hearing what the eldest grandson said, the old man didn't say a word even though he was unwilling to do so.
He looked at the wine in his hand with disgust, threw it aside, and said angrily, "As we get older, drinking is no longer good!"
Try these mutton meatballs, with pepper added in them! Zhu Yunxi filled the old man's bowl with a smile and said, "It's not that I don't let you drink it. Ordinary people pay attention to health care. They should eat light meals and eat small meals often!"
The old man came from a poor background. Even though he is very old, he still loves meat that is rich in oil and salt. And every meal must be extremely full, with clean dishes and no leftovers. If he is a working man in his prime, there is no problem eating like this, but
For the elderly, it is still somewhat unhealthy.
You should dare to have sex with us! The old man said displeasedly, "You are not allowed to drink wine, and you are not allowed to eat meat. What's the point of this day?"
My grandson is looking forward to your healthy old body and strong bones! Zhu Yunxi continued to smile and said, you are in good health and live a long life, so that your children and grandchildren will be blessed and have hope!
After hearing this, the old man remained silent.
It seemed that he thought of the little girl who had just turned one month old, and the young princes in the palace who were not yet underage. A smile appeared on his face, he took the soup bowl and started eating in small bites.
Maintaining health for the elderly is not necessarily for longevity.
But to live as long as possible and see our children and grandchildren.
At this time, Pu Bucheng, who was waiting on the side, suddenly let out a sigh and said in surprise, over there, Duke Cao Guo?
The two men turned their heads and looked around. On the mountain road, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was running this way with disheveled hair. Several young people behind him were chasing after him.
