Chapter Eight: Seven Days (8)
"Who is outside?"
Hearing the crying, the old man frowned and said angrily, "What are you howling during the New Year?"
"Emperor, Concubine Han is here!" Park Bucheng whispered.
With a swish, Liao King Zhu Zhi stood up instantly, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Concubine Han is not someone else, but his biological mother.
"It's said that Concubine Han is coming in!" Seeing this, Zhu Yunxiu spoke, and then smiled at the old man, "Grandpa, mother and son are in love. Uncle Fifteen just came back, Concubine Han is in a hurry to see her son!"
"I get annoyed at these girls crying when I drink!" The old man curled his lips slightly, "It made them cry so hard that they were so angry!"
At this moment, two concubines outside the hall came in.
The first one was Concubine Guo Hui, who temporarily commanded the six palaces over the years. The one who cried almost unhappy was Concubine Han, the biological mother of the King of Liao.
"I will meet your Majesty!"
"Don't salute, go see your son!" The old man waved his hand, "The whole beard and full-tailed are back, there are many parts. You can scream twice, don't make the noise too much!"
"My son!"
When Han saw Zhu Zhi crying like rain, he saw the scar on his son's face again, and almost couldn't stand steadily. If it weren't for the support of others, he would have fallen down.
"Mom!" Zhu Zhi took his mother's hand and placed it on her cheek, "My son is back!"
"My son!" Concubine Han cried, unable to speak, and her fingers trembled and wandered on the scars on her son's face. "Does it hurt?"
Zhu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "Mom, a small matter! My son has grown up, these are all small matters!"
"My son!" Concubine Han held her son's hand, and tears fell from the jade plate like beads.
There is no sad conversation between mother and son. It makes people cry when they stand like this.
"How are you doing?" Zhu Zhi asked in a low voice, "I'm going to go anywhere when I come back this time. I'll accompany you in the palace! I haven't been with you forever in the past few years. Let's have a happy New Year!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Concubine Han held her son's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would lose it. She still looked at the scar on Zhu Zhi's face, her eyes full of unconcealed heartache.
"Sit down!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Sit down and talk!"
"Tsk!" The old man was a little dissatisfied, "Why are they here? How can I drink this wine?"
Concubine Guo Hui sat next to the old man and wiped her tears, "Brother-in-law, are you so hard-hearted?"
The old man held the wine cup and sighed, "Men's hearts are softened by women's crying. Besides, we are old and can't stand these things."
"Empress Hui!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile, "The King of Shu, King Dai, and King of Gu are all back. I think it must be on the road at this time!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Guo Hui smiled gratefully at Zhu Yunxi, "The sisters in the harem are all grateful for the kindness of Your Highness, and let the vassal kings return to Beijing for the New Year, so that we, the mothers who miss their sons, can relieve my own pain!" As she said, she smiled, "When my three unhappy brothers come back, we must be close to you!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing.
Concubine Guo Hui was deeply loved by the old man and gave birth to three sons and two daughters for the old man in his life. Among them, the King of Shu was the most virtuous, as for King Dai and King Gu?
It’s okay for King Dai, but King Gu is not a good food for food!
Originally, Zhu Di's troops were at the city of Nanjing, which was the gate he opened first. Then Zhu Di ascended the throne was very good to him, but he was incompetent in the fiefdom and fantasized that the fourth brother who was learning from him would rebel again. The final result was of course to be in a state of terror.
Zhu Yunyu really couldn't get close to such a 25-year-old.
"Don't cry, don't cry, our hearts make you cry without any loss!" The old man said, "Old 15 is here all the way. Before he can eat a few bites of hot rice, you can let him eat first!"
"I haven't eaten yet?" Concubine Han quickly wiped away her tears, looked at the wine and food on the table, and stood up and said, "Play the horse dumplings and put them on the horse noodles. I'll cook hot soup noodles for you!"
As he said that, he went out anxiously despite Zhu Zhi's obstruction.
Zhu Zhi's eyes reluctantly followed his mother.
The old man looked at him and curled his lips, "I said I'm coming back to see us. When your mother comes, there's no way your father is in her eyes!"
"My son respects my father and emperor!" Zhu Zhi said quickly, "I wish my father and emperor..."
"What are you going to wish for when you drink?" The old man held the cup, "Depend to a deeper, stuffy!" As he said, he let out a few more and drank it dry.
Zhu Zhi also raised his head and drank it all.
"Oh, don't take it!" the old man smiled, "In a blink of an eye, these little lambs can drink with us!"
"Brother-in-law!" Guo Huifei smiled while pouring wine, "You scolded Lao Shiwu but brought you all in!"
"Ah?" The old man thought about it and suddenly grinned, "Damn it, it's true!"
At this moment, Park Bushen came in again.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.
"Go back to the emperor, Your Highness!" Park Bucheng smiled, "Wuding Marquis Guo Ying is here!"
"The fourth brother is here?" The old man laughed, "He has a good nose, let him come in!" As he said, he said to Zhu Zhi, "Your father-in-law is here!"
A moment later, Guo Ying, whose hair and beard were white, strode in.
First, he looked at Zhu Zhi, and then politely said, "I, please come to the emperor, please come to the crown prince!" As he said that, he paused, "I bow to the king of Liao!"
Zhu Zhi didn't dare to accept the tribute, so he stood up to avoid it.
"Come here and sit next to us!" The old man smiled, "You can worship us and the grandson. Lao Fifteen, you are your son-in-law, don't treat you hypocritically!"
Guo Ying sat respectfully beside the old man, but Zhu Yunxi noticed that when the old marquis sat down, he slightly fisted at Zhu Zhi.
This action made Zhu Yunxi laugh. Guo Ying was not an ordinary nobleman. She was not only the old man's brother, but also the old man's brother-in-law. She has never caused trouble and formed a clique over the years, which is extraordinary in the old man's heart.
Before the princes entered the vassal state, they had to go back to their hometown in Fengyang to receive military training to lead troops.
The Liao King Zhu Zhi was taught by Guo Ying, and the royal city on the Daling River was originally built by Guo Ying. At that time, the money and grain flow were not easy, so the old marquis also paid a lot of money to make his daughter's wedding grandly.
"When I heard that your son-in-law came back, I couldn't help but come to see him?" The old man teased, "More concerned than our father!"
Guo Ying looked at Liao King Zhu Zhi again for a long time, and said casually, "Your Majesty, your son almost made me a widow!" He said, sighing, "Nannan, since she returned to her parents' home, she has been talking about it every day. If the fifteenth Master had something to do, she would not live."
"Oh, I can't hear this. Every day I feel like I have a knife in my heart!"
"Just heard that the fifteenth Master had entered the city just now, and the girl fainted on the spot!"
"What's wrong with Nannan?" Zhu Zhi asked quickly.
"So too, I don't know if I send someone to the fourth family to report the news first!" The old man cursed with a squinted look.
Then, he held the wine glass and said to Guo Ying, "Having you as your father-in-law is also a blessing for the fifteenth brother."
"I dare not!" Guo Ying whispered.
Then, look at Zhu Zhi, "The war has settled. Will the 15th Master still fight after he returns to his fiefdom?"
"Although the great revenge has been avenged, I am unhappy!" Zhu Zhi's face was a little ferocious, "After returning to the fiefdom to rectify the troops, I will lead the army again, slaughter the other along the way, and see each one kill!"
"Okay, the fifteenth master's move is the true nature of a man! We men, we have a grudge for no matter how long it is!" Guo Ying also gritted his teeth, "Dare to attack us? I will repay the blood hatred ten times!" As he said that, he bowed to the old man and said, "Your Majesty, this old bone is so idle in the capital. Please give me some grace and go to Liaodong with the fifteenth master and help him lead his troops to kill people!"
"Don't show off, how old are you?" The old man glanced at him, "Is this age a mess? Fu Youde has just been a few days?"
As he said that, he sighed, "It's time for our generation to take a break. Some things are for the children to toss. If it really doesn't work, it's not too late for us to take action!"
Several people were talking, and Park Bushen came in again outside.
However, unlike the previous few times, he walked quickly this time.
"What's wrong?" the old man said dissatisfied, "Are you still allowed us to drink?"
"I will give it to the emperor, to the fifteenth master, to the old marquis!" Park Bucheng said with a smile.
The three of them were stunned.
Confused, Park Bucheng continued to laugh, "The Marquis's mansion sent someone to report that Princess Liao had just given birth to a fat boy, and the mother and son were safe!"
"Oh! Damn, all the good things are coming today!" The old man laughed.
Guo Ying widened her eyes, "This is... I just left the house and Nannan gave birth to her? Tsk tsk, this is really lingering!"
The Liao King Zhu Zhi was stupid and smiled foolishly.
"Grandpa Emperor, you have multiple royal grandchildren, please give me a name?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
"Well, we have to take it!" The old man scratched his head with his big hands, his eyebrows were like Sichuan. "Old Fifteen, the genealogy we have given is that Guihao is favored, your son is of Guizi generation."
In the imperial ancestor teachings compiled by the old man himself, each son has a corresponding lineage ranking.
"Your son's name must be with fire..." Looking at the wine and food on the table, the old man was already in deep thought.
It’s just in a hurry, how can you choose a satisfied name?
As he thought about it, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxiu.
If Zhu Yunxiu had known this, his eyes would have wandered outside the sky.
Naming is simple, but according to the old man's rules, radicals are all made of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Who has so many rare words in his belly?
The old man glared at Zhu Yunsheng and continued to ponder.
The hall was particularly quiet, with only the mutton stewed with charcoal on the table making a sound of boiling pot.
"I have it!" The old man's eyes lit up.
When Zhu Yunxi saw the old man staring at the pot of stewed lamb, he thought it was broken. He wouldn't he call Zhu Gui stewed it?
"This, we know the ancient characters!" The old man stroked his beard, "Pang, add a combined character next to the character "Huo"! The son of the fifteenth is called Zhu Guixuan!"
Wan?
Zhu Yunxiu thought for a long time and said that the word "花" means stew the meat!
The name of the son of the King of Liao is translated into modern language, and it is also stewed pork with rutamin!
