Chapter 77: Ending (4)

There were no foreign ministers in the hall, but they were all members of the Zhu family.

The old man waved his hand and told Guanglu Temple to pass on the meal!

The diet for the Mid-year Palace Festival is jointly supervised by the monks of Guanglu Temple. After the old man finished speaking, palace mermaids in colorful clothes came out in a row, holding exquisite gold and silver utensils that they would not see on weekdays.

Tables and chairs had been arranged in the hall, and the concubines in the harem sat down one by one according to their grade. The closest to the old man was Concubine Guo Hui, followed by Concubine Sun, Concubine Zheng and others. Behind were Concubine, and the lowest-ranking beauty was Concubine.

These concubines are of different ages, but the youngest is nearly thirty years old. Although they are older, they are also beautiful and charming when dressed up. After sitting down, they feel aura of jewels.

The old man and Zhu Yun-hyun sat at the same table, and Park Bushen was waiting by his side.

Emperor, this year's menu is all set by Your Highness! Park Bucheng said with a smile.

Are you afraid that your grandfather will not be able to eat well? The old man smiled and said, "I will use my mind to do these things, and those servants will do them!"

It’s not that you are afraid that you will not eat well, but that you will be frugal in everything! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

The glowing gold and silver utensils were taken off the lid, and the hall was filled with the fragrance of delicious food. On the table of the concubines, roasted clams, fried shrimps, chicken legs, bamboo shoots and chicken breasts, sea cucumbers, phignons, shark tendons, fat chickens, and pig trotters were stewed together, and two steaming pots were stewed.

In addition to these, the two men and women also had salty and fragrant dishes such as salted mustard and lamb belly plate, garlic and vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, Yuanju lamb bone, spicy vinegar waist, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed gluten, lamb crystal horn, silk goose noodles soup and other salty and fragrant dishes.

In addition, there is also a Pepsi-Daji Box containing persimmon cakes, lychees, round eyes, chestnuts, and ripe dates. There are also three fresh fruits, three dried fruits, and three wines.

There are quite a lot! The old man looked at the table with vegetables and said with a smile, can we eat it?

The reward was given to the guards outside, and they were asked to take their homes to eat! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Grandpa, the Ming Dynasty is rich and there is no shortage of our meal!

Zhu Yunyu is not a luxury person, but the old man doesn’t care whether it’s the New Year or the New Year, just three or four dishes and one soup is indeed a bit shabby. Besides, most of these dishes are tributes. The delicacies tributed from various places are piled up like mountains of food.

This table of dishes! The old man smiled with golden chopsticks and said, "It was forty years ago, your grandfather dared not think about it." As he said, he laughed and scolded, he had never seen it before!

Grandpa, try this pot! Zhu Yunxiu served a bowl for the old man and said with a smile, while it was hot!

The old man took it and looked at the dishes on the table carefully. He wondered, what about the dumplings? Why are there no dumplings?

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, don’t worry! As he said that, he clapped his hands gently and said with a smile, dumplings are coming!

In the old man's puzzled eyes, he saw more than a dozen women in palace dresses coming in with a tray outside the hall, holding a tray and smiling.

Father, happy New Year! The women bow down.

Why are you here? The old man asked in confusion.

These women are all princesses of the Ming Dynasty. First, they were Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Qingyang. They first kowtowed in front of the old man, and then three silver plates were placed on the long table where the dishes were placed. (The emperor and the crown prince had a small table for dinner, and the menu was placed on a large table, and the eunuch was served).

Princess Lin'an personally picked up a few ingot-shaped dumplings, knelt on her knees, and said, "The father raised his daughter for decades, but his daughter couldn't repay her. In the past, the mother made dumplings during the Chinese New Year. This year, my daughters made dumplings for you with their hands. Do you taste it? How much does it taste like a denominator?

Father, try it!

Father, this is the first time my daughter cooks!

In front of me are the daughters who have grown up and married into women. Their eyes are as clear as when they were young. The older ones in the front are better, while the younger ones in the back are as cute and silly as they are in the palace when they speak.

In his heart, his son is a treasure, and his daughter is also a treasure. He was the only one left of his brothers back then, and he was a man and a man and a woman, both of which were the blood of the Zhu family. If he really didn't take his daughter seriously, it wouldn't be possible that the prince consorts would be in high positions.

OK! The old man trembled and picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.

Zhu Yunxi looked around and felt a sense of satisfaction.

The satisfaction of filial piety is what the elderly in the world doesn’t want their children to be around and don’t want the festival to be lively? But sometimes the Tian family has to be alienated due to etiquette and law. The old man is old and the country in his heart is the most concerned about are these children and grandchildren.

During the holidays, I miss my family more. Not only do I want my elders, but I also want my elders.

What you eat is filled with celery. This celery is a fresh dish picked by my daughters and sisters in the imperial village outside the city! Princess Ningguo, who was born in Queen Ma, smiled and said, when the filling was filled, she specially found the palace servant who was originally beside her mother, and the recipe was exactly the same as the mother's mother!

The old man smacks his lips when he eats on weekdays, and he is very fast.

But now I eat in small mouthfuls, as if I am afraid that I will not taste it if I swallow it in one mouthful.

It tastes like that! It tastes delicious! Well......... As he said that, the old man was slightly surprised and a small gold coin fell out of his mouth.

My father is so lucky! Princess Lin'an smiled and said, "The daughters made two hundred dumplings, and they only put two coins in them, and you can eat them in one bite!"

Haha, we are all this old, what's the use? The old man smiled, sat down and went to have a meal! Then he turned to Zhu Yunxi and said, "You kid, let's make us happy in different ways!"

I have told you a long time ago that I would let my aunts come for the New Year too! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Where is a family? The reason is to share the New Year!" As he said, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, your son-in-law, grandchildren, granddaughter, come here in the next half a day. Tonight, you will be confused!"

You boy! The old man laughed and scolded again, Park Bushen, pour wine for us both!

It is the Spring Festival of the 25th year of Hongwu. There are only five Spring Festivals left before the old man leaves. One less time, and the old man loves Zhu Yunxi to the core. Isn’t it the same for Zhu Yunxi?

The best filial piety is to accompany the elderly on the last journey. The last path of life allows the elderly to walk happily without leaving any regrets.

In recent years, we have strived to be lively and happy every year, so that the old man will not worry about it anymore. The whole family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.

In fact, after seeing off the old man, the family affection for this life may not be a matter of Zhu Yun's fate. Treating the old man well may also be kind to him.

A day passed in a noisy way. On New Year's Eve, several fires were lit in the open space in front of the hall, and the blazing bonfires illuminated the night sky, accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers. The palace was full of smiling faces.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the dynasty.

Officials above the sixth rank in Beijing must go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The Fengtian Hall is a magnificent and grand atmosphere. There is an incense table on the east side of the main hall, and the Jiaofangsi musicians on the west side. Outside the hall, palace men wearing colorful clothes stand with their hands down.

Bang, with a cannon, all officials slowly entered from outside the Meridian Gate.

Bang, two cannons sounded, and the officials guided the officials to the left and right yemen gates. After entering Fengtian Hall, they stood on the east and west sides of the palace base and stood north.

Bang, with three cannons, Pu Bucheng brought the eunuchs of the twelve prisons into the Huagai Hall next to Fengtian Hall, and asked the old man and Zhu Yun to enter the Fengtian Hall and take the imperial throne.

The two of them were wearing dragon robes and slowly walked up the imperial steps. The old man wiped the dragon chaise, and the golden dragon on it was wide open and full of majesty. Next to the dragon chaise, a round stool wrapped around the golden dragon was placed, set for the crown prince.

Long live my emperor!

The crown prince is thousands of years old!

As the curtain in front of the imperial throne slowly pulled up, the ministers knelt down and shouted under the guidance of the ritual officials. The musicians in the hall played ritual music, and the bells and drums were ringing.

The music fell, and Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Secretariat, submitted a memorial on behalf of the ministers.

The officials and ministers met the official, and the three yangs were prosperous and all things were renewed. I respectfully wish that His Majesty the Emperor would be blessed and will be prosperous forever.

Then, Zhu Yunxiu stood up and was equal to you!

Then, music was played again, and ritual officials guided the ministers to the banquet.

Today's banquet dishes are not as rich as yesterday, but there are red envelopes given by the emperor on every table.

The civil and military officials separated and arranged on both sides of the hall.

When we were serving the people in the early years, the old man spoke slowly in the hall to help the rich families. During the Chinese New Year, they would have to set up a table of hard dishes to reward the workers. You are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and we, the head of the Ming Dynasty, cannot treat you badly!

On the lunar calendar, the whole world celebrates together! The old man continued, "My dear friends, please drink this cup with me. May my Ming Dynasty have good weather and prosperity and a prosperous country for thousands of years!"

After some congratulations, the hall opened.

It was lively, but in such a scene, everyone was a little alienated. In previous years, those generals and nobles must have been toasting, but this year the incident of Lan Yu, everyone was more worried.

Among the military generals, Fu Youde and other old ministers were in front, and the Chang brothers waited behind, and they tried to drink easily, and their every move was quite restrictive.

Park is not successful! Zhu Yunxiu spoke.

Your Highness! I am here!

Please come over by King Chen, King Tang and others?

This... Park Bushen looked at the old man.

Give the feast of the ministers, what are they doing? The old man frowned, you are the crown prince, go down and walk around in a while. Forget others, you have to be like those meritorious ministers!

No hurry, grandson let you always see the joke first! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Not long after, King Shen and King Tang came in with a smile.

First, after greeting the old man and Zhu Yun-chan, a few bad guys walked among the ministers and looked at their uncles with a smile.

Zhao Long, who had just been promoted to the Assistant General of the Five Army, looked at Zhu Ju, the King of Tang who was blinking and smiling at him, and felt upset.

Your Highness!

Even my uncle can only stand up and surrender on this occasion.

Suddenly, Zhu Ju picked up a knife from the table.

Your Highness! The people around him suddenly exclaimed.

Red envelope, big red envelope! Zhu Jun cut his hair with a knife, otherwise he will die!

At the same time, the little princes stretched out their hands towards their uncles.

The huge hall was filled with their tender shouts and red envelopes!

~~~The chapter that connects the past and the future is not my water. Everyone thinks that the description of water requires a lot of information to find it.

I have tried my best to shorten the process of the New Year. And because of the shortening, it has ruined the rhythm. But for you, everything is worth it, oh, buy it.
Chapter completed!
