Chapter 78 Wisdom (1)
The thick fog in the early morning of winter dissipates with the sunlight, revealing the magnificence of the Forbidden City.
Squeaking, a few red-mouthed blue magpies flew from nowhere, and their cheerful chirping jumped on the branches without green leaves.
The people in Yong'an Palace did not drive away the bamboo poles as usual. Instead, they looked at these little lives with a smile and sprinkled some desserts on the ground.
Such kind-hearted actions made the birds seem a little flattered. They spread their wings and circled in the air, and their chirping became more and more cheerful because of gratitude.
But they did not dare to go out and peck at the delicious delicacies immediately, but instead looked vigilantly at the white marble steps in front of the palace.
On weekdays, the fat orange cat always has its tail upright and follows the old man behind. Its tail is shaking with its red vest, and squints its eyes and basking in the sun leisurely.
It looked at the birds who were excited by the desserts and turned over and looked up comfortably.
The old man's life is celebrated together, and it also includes other creatures besides humans in the world.
The people in the palace were dressed in new clothes and looked happy.
The palace gate of Yong'an Palace opened, and Park Bushen walked out with a few eunuchs.
He put on his long-haired red eunuch's robe and hung a goldfish bag from his early years under the brocade bag hanging on his waist.
His robe is very different from other eunuchs. He has red patterns on his chest and sleeves, making the robe more vivid.
He had a black gauze crown on his head and a long tube of face boots on his feet, demonstrating his transcendent status among the eunuchs.
"Long live the Lord, the Supreme Emperor tells you, the Empress and Your Highness!"
As soon as dawn, Zhu Yunyu brought the queen and eldest son Liujin to Yong'an Palace in great costumes.
"Okay, lead the way!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liujin was already impatiently holding up the shoes in his hand and rushed in with his short legs.
"Old ancestor, six jin is here!"
In the hall, sitting in front of the mirror, looking at the old man who was combing his hair and beard, he heard Liu Jin's voice and looked loving on his face.
His eyes turned to the outside of the hall, the red palace gate opened, a little man in front and an adult in a dress behind. In the winter sun, the golden threads on their dresses emitted a soft and solemn light.
"Slow down, don't fall!"
Seeing Liujin crossing the threshold, the old man smiled.
At this time, under the careful care of the palace people, his complexion was very different from when he just woke up. His head was combed meticulously, his beard was neatly arranged, and his eyes were majestic and powerful.
"The grandson celebrates the ancestor's birthday, wishing him good fortune and longevity!" Liu Jin knelt down and kowtowed, his voice clear and childish voice.
"I know!" the old man smiled.
Then, Zhu Yunxi and Zhao Ning'er came in side by side and kowtowed together, "The grandson (daughter-in-law) bowed to the emperor and wished the emperor a long life!"
"Okay!" The old man sat upright and waved his hand with a smile. "Your family, why do you have to do so much? Get up quickly!" As he said, he smiled, "We have told you a long time ago, don't make such a big show. Look at you, you have to do a birthday celebration, and you know that we are the most impatient with these."
Even though the old man said that, the smile at the corners of his eyes could not be hidden.
"Grandpa Emperor, your birthday is not just your own business, but our Zhu family, the Ming Dynasty, and the whole world." Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Ordinary people have to do a grand birthday. If the children and grandchildren do it well, the elderly will be proud of their faces."
"Not only is the face light, but also the pocket!" The old man smiled, "We don't need to ask, we know that it will definitely cost a lot of money."
Zhu Yunxiu stepped forward a few steps and said with a smile, "Our Ming Dynasty is now at peace and prosperity, and it is not that bad."
"Yoyo, yoyo, look at what you said!" The old man laughed and scolded, "You are a child who sells his land, don't you feel sorry for you. Did you build this Ming Dynasty? Did you save your family? You spent our money to celebrate our birthday, you brat!"
At this time, Zhao Ning'er walked up with her newly made clothes and smiled, "This is the birthday dress made by her wife for you. Do you see if it fits well!"
As he said that, he unfolded his clothes.
It is not a gorgeous material, it is just the ordinary Songjiang white cloth dyed with the pattern of the character "Shou" embroidered on it.
Although it is ordinary, it looks like it is solid and soft to get it.
"There are also shoes, which were made by the mother!" Liujin squatted at the old man's feet and helped the old man put on his shoes. He smiled, "My mother has been sitting for a long time. She slept in Liujin every night. She was still in front of the light and had her fingers tugged several times!"
The great-grandson helped him take off his shoes, and the grandson helped him dress. The clothes and shoes he wore were all from the eldest daughter-in-law's wife, and the old man smiled even more.
After putting it on, I looked left and right in front of the mirror, "We are so lucky!"
Others may not know the meaning of this sentence, but Pu Bucheng, who has been guarding the old man's door since the early morning, knows it very clearly.
The old man wanted to be filial, but his son wanted to support him but his parents were not waiting.
The people who are dreaming about in his heart are not blessed.
Nowadays, the old man has filial sons and grandchildren, and good sons and wives.
"You are tired!" The old man smiled at Zhao Ning'er when he looked at the clothes that were not gorgeous but extremely warm.
The latter saluted slightly, "See what you said, shouldn't you be filial to your wife?"
"Your wife has made new clothes for us, and your son's shoes for us." The old man smiled at Zhu Yunsheng with his hands behind his back, "What are you preparing for?"
Zhu Yunxiu bowed and smiled, "Today is the birthday of the emperor. His grandson exempted the grain tax from Fengyang Imperial Village in the name of the emperor. At the same time, the elderly over 65 years old in the capital will enjoy wine, meat and cloth, and the disabled old army will double."
"In addition, pharmacies are set up everywhere in the capital to help elderly people seek medical treatment. The expenses used by pharmacies are all based on the expenses in the palace. In the future, it will be set as a regular case. Those over fifty years old can be consulted, and the doctor will be selected by the Imperial Hospital!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, the old man nodded and laughed, "This is good! This person is inevitably a headache and fever when he gets old. However, ordinary people are reluctant to give up money and are unwilling to be doctors. The minor illness becomes a serious illness. When they get serious illness, they will lose both their lives and their wealth."
"There are so many pharmacies that can't control all the people in the world, but at least it can take charge of the trouble in the capital!"
As he said that, the old man thought about it and whispered, "But if it is set as a regular example, the future costs may be quite large. We are the common people and know what the common people think. We don't ask for anything that requires money, and those who don't have money are flocking to it, haha..."
"Actually, it can't cost much. The palace is just a name for praying for you. The specific cost is still paid!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.
The old man immediately asked, "Who did you give it to?"
"The pharmacy is to pray for you to increase your life. In addition to our palace, the nobles and relatives of various families, as well as the vassal kings, invest some money in every year!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile, "In the words of Duke Cao Li Jinglong, everyone will follow the old man's blessing."
"Ha, this is led by that boy Li Jinglong?" The old man laughed at the same time, "It's just him!"
As he said that, he thought for a moment, "This is a good thing. Those of the most powerful and rich people in the world will use some scattered silver to benefit the people, which can be considered to be used by the people."
"Being powerful and rich does not bully the people, but instead feeding them to the people. This is a good deed and even more kind."
Zhu Yunyu had a sudden inspiration and said with a smile, "Yesterday, my grandson was still thinking, what good name does this pharmacy give? After hearing what Grandpa Emperor said, my grandson thought, what would this pharmacy need a charity hall?"
