The twelfth lunar month is here, and I look forward to returning home.
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di got up early that day, first went to Prince Zhou's Mansion to pick up Zhu Youdou, and then took him out of Zhengyangmen, across the Zhonghe Bridge, and to the Guanguan Pavilion ten miles outside the city.
"Uncle Liu, who are we going to pick up?" The eldest son of King Zhou, who was over one year old, was curled up in Liu's arms. Zhu Zhen wrapped him tightly in a sable cloak, leaving only his little face as big as a palm to breathe.
.
"Let's go pick up your dad." Lao Liu smiled and wrapped himself in a cloak to prevent the cold wind from blowing on his delicate skin.
"I still have a father?" Zhu Youdou was very surprised...
"Your mother..." The fourth uncle on the side immediately became unhappy. Others always forget about the fifth child. How come he doesn't even remember his own son? "Don't you usually mention daddy to you?"
"My mother said... Just pretend that I don't have a father." Zhu You said with a milky voice.
"Fuck..." The fourth child couldn't help but curse. "This bitch really needs to be dealt with..."
"Fourth brother, we can't just blame the fifth sister-in-law for this matter." As the sixth brother is a friend of all the sister-in-laws, he must speak for his sister-in-law.
"Originally, the fifth sister-in-law was strongly opposed to the fifth brother's trip. The fifth brother asked me to go there and coaxed and tricked me to get her job done. But it was agreed at the time that I would be there for up to three months.
March after March, how many months have passed?"
"A good man has a home all over the world." The fourth child spoke for the fifth child: "Besides, the fifth child is not going out to fool around, he is going to help the world by hanging his pot."
Well, considering his status as a prince, he is indeed fooling around.
"Fourth brother, tell me, if it were your fourth sister-in-law, would you say similar things to Gao Chi?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lao Si shook his head decisively and said with an arrogant look on his face:
"I will write letters every day and order her not to let her children forget me."
"Hahaha." Lao Liu couldn't help laughing and said, "The main thing is to prevent the fourth sister-in-law from forgetting you, right?"
"Hey, you are a good brother if you see through things but don't tell them." The fourth child did not deny it. He had always been serious about showing affection.
~~
While the two brothers were talking, they arrived at the reception pavilion.
I received a letter yesterday saying that Lao Wu arrived in Beijing today.
But it was hard to tell when exactly they would arrive, so the two brothers came early in the morning to wait in case they missed the pick-up.
Someone from the palace had come earlier and hung up the eight-sided octagonal pavilion with warm curtains. They also lit a charcoal basin and set up tables, chairs and refreshments in the pavilion.
When the two brothers brought Zhu Youdou into the reception pavilion, it was already warm inside and had tea and snacks.
The two brothers took off their cloaks under the service of the palace maid, and then sat by the charcoal basin with their arms on the Zhu Shang Kang, warming themselves by the fire, and eating some snacks.
Lao Liu got up too early and was very hungry at the moment. He finished two plates of snacks in a row and drank a pot of tea before he felt better.
Looking at the fourth brother, he has already done four albums.
So for these big-bodied young men, their esophagus is connected to a bottomless pit.
The sixth child didn't just eat and drink by himself, forgetting about his eldest nephew. He soaked some snacks in milk and fed him spoonfuls of stew, serving his eldest nephew comfortably.
The fourth child's eyes widened when he saw it. "Oh, sixth child, you are really good at taking care of children. No wonder these nephews like you so much."
"Haha, maybe it's because I kept pets since I was a kid." Lao Liu used his fingers to scrape Lard Dun'er's cheeks, and said with a look of enjoyment: "There is nothing more comfortable than petting a human cub..."
"If you like it so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" The fourth child's words sounded like what Xu Miaoyun meant.
"Fourth brother, whose pet do you see is his own?" Lao Liu glanced at him strangely.
"Okay..." The fourth brother originally wanted to persuade him to get married this year, but the perverted answer from the sixth brother made him unable to continue.
Fearing that Lao Liu would express any outrageous opinions again, Zhu Di quickly changed the subject and said:
"Alas, another year has passed."
"Yes, it's really fast." Lao Liu also nodded and said: "Last year we came back from Nanchang, and the second brother and the third brother picked us up at the pier. I still vividly remember it. I don't feel like celebrating the New Year again."
As he said this, he said with some regret: "It's a pity that they didn't come back this year."
He also has a deep relationship with his second brother and his third brother. In the past two years, they have been together less and separated more, and he misses them quite a lot.
"It's a pity that the second brother didn't come back." However, the fourth brother could only agree with half of what he said: "Thank God that the third brother didn't come back. Otherwise, I don't know how he would laugh at me if I was in this situation."
"That's true." Lao Liu could imagine that the third brother would use all kinds of tricks to ridicule the fourth brother who had lost his title. He would be so angry that he would be furious.
"But Third Brother will definitely help you vent your anger."
"That's for sure." Lao Si said depressedly, "But it doesn't stop him from teasing me."
"Haha..." Lao Liu was secretly amused. "Am I the only one who can bully my brother?" What kind of lousy domineering persona.
"Tell me, Father, why don't you let them go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year?" Lao Si asked again.
"Didn't the old man say that they should settle down and take root in the feudal country?" Lao Liu said: "The old man also said that the Chinese New Year is a good opportunity to bond with each other, and they have to be with the soldiers.
"It's really not okay to go back to Beijing early to celebrate the New Year like last year and wait until February or March before setting off to return to China. My father, the Queen, and my mother would come back for their birthdays, and then come back again for the New Year. They would be on the road all year long."
"Well, it seems that after the vassal, it is getting more and more difficult to return to the capital." The fourth brother sighed depressedly: "Your fourth sister-in-law said that unless the emperor summons the vassal kings of other dynasties, they will not be able to do it even if the sky falls.
When we return to Beijing, will we do the same thing in the future?"
"Isn't that necessary? This is a lesson learned through blood." Lao Liu nodded and said, "This will definitely be the case in the future."
"It's really boring to think about it..." After the fourth child finished speaking, he suddenly remembered his current status and couldn't help laughing at himself: "You think I am a commoner, why should I worry about you? It's not that I put too much salt - I'm idle
'?"
"Fourth brother is here again." Lao Liu hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, when all the replacement officers at the Governor's Mansion have taken office, your titles and errands will be back."
"Still doing some errands? It'll be good if I can be safe." The fourth child sighed again: "The sixth child, I have an idea."
"What do you think?" Lao Liu saw Zhu Youdou's expression change and saw him twisting and turning, so he reached in and touched the diaper, and said calmly: "I peed."
"Can you help me tell my father to let me go to Yunnan?" Lao Si said with a longing look on his face: "Even if you are a big-headed soldier, it is better than what you are doing now, hanging around half-dead all day long."
"Fourth brother, listen to my advice," Lao Liu advised Lao Si while changing his diaper skillfully: "You have completely broken up with Huaixi, and you still dare to go to war with them? Don't let them cheat you?"
If you were killed on the front line, I would have no place to avenge you."
