The Forbidden City is already decorating the New Year. The eunuchs from the 12th Prison commanded the palace servants to set up lights and decorate the palace courtyards. Even the eunuch Xiaoli, the palace maids, and others, who were the lowest-grade, wore auspicious clothes with joy.
Another year has passed, but another year is about to begin.
This is exactly what we say about bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
In fact, the year is just an ordinary day, but it has been given different commemorative significance by generations of Chinese people.
Each of our festivals and traditions has its own origins. In addition to being happy, future generations always have three points of respect and awe.
Thinking about later generations, all festivals seem to have changed. Except in the countryside where clans live, men returning home will pay New Year's greetings and ancestors under the leadership of their elders. People in the city have regarded the New Year as spending money at will.
Days.
Some people are even not very enthusiastic about the festivals left by their ancestors, but are extremely obsessed with foreign festivals. And under the promotion of certain forces, these festivals have become shopping and carnival.
But I don’t know what the meaning of such a festival is!
In his previous life, when Zhu Yunyu was a loser, he once said this in his circle of friends.
"I have all festivals, and I have a mine at home!"
A joke, but someone attacked him as if he didn't understand life.
When he was a child, he asked his cousin why the old white-bearded foreign god who was all following in the fun was called Santa Claus.
My cousin said, "The old man used to sell Dali Pills and performed a hammer to smash the gun. As a result, the gun was smashed and only the eggs were left, so he called the old man Zuodan!"

Standing by Le Zhizhai's window, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the scenery outside the window, his thoughts were a little confused, and his eyes fell on the garden and the figures.
In the imperial garden, there are craftsmen who organize winter plum blossoms everywhere. Some people also wrap colorful silks around the trunks of the ancient pine and cypress trees.
The old man held the stove and sat on the chair and watched with a smile. Liujin took two eunuchs and ran around the imperial garden, joining in the fun.
Behind Liujin, there was a lively lion dog, which was round and like a snowball, and each person and a dog were having fun.
"Slow down!" The old man's voice was very cheerful, "Be careful not to sweat! It's not a joke when you sweat when you see the wind!"
After the old man finished speaking, Mei Lianxin and a few eunuchs rushed up and began to check nervously.
"Your Highness, your highness is not sweating!"
"If you don't sweat, keep playing for a while, and if you sweat, take it back!"
"Sisters obey the order!"
"Old Ancestor!" Liu Jin's face was flushed, holding a paper windmill in his hand, swaying his calves and running to the old man, directly pounced into the old man's arms, with his big eyes flashing, "Old Ancestor,
My grandson heard that when we celebrate the Chinese New Year, we play the stage and sing big dramas. Do we sing in the palace?"
"Sing, there is still a reason why our Liujin wants to listen to the opera!" The old man put Liujin on his knees, then covered his house with a blanket, and smiled, "What kind of opera do you want to listen to?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Liujin's big eyes were circling and he thought for a long time, "Last time I followed my mother to Cheng'en Hou's house, and their house was singing a big show, and the people on the stage kept somersaulting...
Whoosh, it's like flying."
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed, "It's easy to deal with! Mei Conscience!"
"I'm here!" Mei Lianxin held the lion dog in her arms that she refused to live and had been struggling to go downstairs and ran away crazy.
"Let the people from the Inner Supervision Office do it. Our Liujin is going to watch the show!" The old man smiled, "Don't make any sluts, how can you get lively?"
"I obey the order!"
"Liujin! You just said Chengenhou, do you know who Chengenhou is your?" The old man continued to tease Liujin and asked with a smile.
"He is the grandson's grandfather!" Liu Jin tilted his head, suddenly grinned, clapped his hands and sang, "pull the big saw and pull the big saw, grandma's house sings a big show, pick up the girl and invite her son-in-law, and the little grandson to go with her!"
"Hi! Look at this kid, how well he sang and how bright his voice!" The old man laughed.
"Old ancestor, our family is singing a big show. Do you also have to take the girl to invite her son-in-law?" Liu Jin suddenly asked seriously.
"This..." The old man suddenly felt a stagnant, and then gently touched Liujin's head, "Good boy, this little bit of humanity is rare!" As he said, he said to the side
, "Su can't succeed!"
"I'm here!"
"Through this year, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the married princesses brought their princesses and our granddaughters into the palace and asked them to return to their parents' home!"
"Abide by the order!"
Hearing this in his ears, Zhu Yunsheng upstairs smiled.
This year's Spring Festival is destined to be very lively. The vassal kings who are going to Beijing to celebrate the New Year have already set off. In addition to the married princesses, the Zhu family will have a great reunion this year.
"Your Highness!" A voice came from behind Zhu Yunxiu, saying that Deng Ping, who had been newly elected to the palace and was his personal bodyguard.
Now that Fu Rang's family is in a mourning family, he cannot enter the palace to serve. Besides, he will have to go down to lead troops in the future, so it is impossible for him to be with Zhu Yunsheng as before.
So, now Deng Ping has replaced the responsibilities of Fu Rang and others in the past.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunhuang asked without looking back.
"The King of Liao is almost here in the capital! The cavalry under the King of Liao Qiansui has sent the news first!" Deng Ping said in a low voice.
He and Fu Rang are people of the same temperament. They are both young and old and never say a word, but they never say a word.
"So fast?" Zhu Yunxiu was slightly surprised. The King of Liao was far away in Liaodong, and he was actually the fastest among the kings.
"The Xinbao said that after the Liao King Qiansui received the order, he only brought a few guards with him, one man and two horses, and rushed towards the capital day and night!" Deng Ping said.
"I understand!" Zhu Yunxiu thought, "You send an order to let the Yulin Guard go to welcome the King of Liao. Tell him not to hurry up and not be tired of sleeping in the open!"
Among the kings, Zhu Yunyu's favorite was the Liao king Zhu Zhi.
"yes!"
Suddenly, two woofs came downstairs, and the eunuch Mei Lianxin's exclamation came.
Zhu Yunxiu looked over and saw Mei Lianxin, who was holding the dog, screaming and dodging. The lion dog at his feet was somehow pounding his calves.
"Why did you get fucked by Maoqian?" Liujin was still questioning loudly.
"I didn't...oh...I didn't mess with you...oh!"
Mei Lianxin danced with her heels, jumping back and forth.
The lion dog seemed to be getting more and more fierce, and directly tore Mei Lianxin's boots apart.
"Haha, haha!" Liujin clapped his hands in the old man's hand, "It's so good! The hairball is hard! It's hard!"
"This unlucky child!" Zhu Yunxiu, who was upstairs, had a gloomy face.
Such a young child can enjoy watching the dog bite the eunuch. If you don’t clean up properly, you will be more than good in the future!
Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard the old man laughing, "Mei Lianxin, don't hide. What can I do if I bite such a little puppy? We Liujin like to see it bite you, so let him bite it!"
"Hey!" Zhu Yunxiu stood by the window and sighed slightly. The old man is here, who dares to deal with that little ancestor!
I turned around and told his mother that I must be strict with discipline.
At this moment, Deng Ping came up again behind him and whispered, "Your Highness, Prince Yan, you have entered the capital and have arrived at the gate of the city!"
~~~
Outside the magnificent Daming Gate, the carriage slowly stopped.
Zhu Gaochi lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the pavilions and towers in his sight, and sighed slightly.
"Beijing City, I, Zhu Gaochi, are here again!"
Then, two heads appeared on both sides of him, one left and one right, both looking outside.
"Brother, what do you mean you are here again? You are not here alone!" The third brother Zhu Gaosui looked outside, and was stimulated by the cold wind and immediately retracted his head.
The other head's owner, Zhu Gaoxu, had endless stubbornness and a hint of impatientness.
"Yingtian Mansion is far inferior to our Beiping, and there is no place to hunt, which is boring!"
"Second, third brother!" Zhu Gaochi looked at his two younger brothers and spoke seriously, "This time we came to the capital is different from the past. We three brothers really want to live under someone else's roof. Do you understand?"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, then shook their heads and nodded.
"Hey!" Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, "Anyway, you two have to remember. Listen to your elder brother, we must be careful and behave. Brother will not harm you!"
"Why are you here? I've been thinking all the way. Isn't it good for us to be at home?" Zhu Gaoxu muttered, "We, our father and mother, isn't it good for us to spend the New Year together with our family?"
As he said that, he continued to murmur, "I have to come to Beijing for the New Year, is this our own home?"
"We are celebrating the New Year in Beijing now to be able to be a member of the group every year in the future!" Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "Otherwise, if we want to be a member of the group for the New Year, others may not allow it!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.
Several cavalrymen from the Yulin Guard of the Forbidden City stepped forward, "Is the Prince of Yan in front of you?"
"Here you come!"
Zhu Gaochi said, tidied up his collar and said loudly to the outside, "That's right! Who is ahead?"
"I'm going to see the prince!" Yu Linwei turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "According to the oral order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the prince of Yan will enter the palace to meet him!"
Zhu Gaochi sat firmly in the carriage, and the fat hand lifted the curtain again, "My minister, follow the order!"
~~
"You... haven't seen each other for a long time, are you not losing weight at all?"
In the East Palace Chunhe Hall, Zhu Yunyu sat on the throne and smiled at Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting in the lower head.
The Chunhe Palace was originally where the Crown Prince Zhu Biao worked and met his ministers.
Zhu Gaochi, brothers three, each sitting behind the square table with dishes. The eldest brother Zhu Gaochi smiled, and the second brother Zhu Gaoxu wandered around. The third brother Zhu Gaosui, his head slightly retracted into his shoulders, and tried his best to make the figures of the two brothers beside him.
Block his side.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid of your highness' jokes. I don't know what's wrong with this body, I'll be fat when I drink cold water!" As he said, he continued to smile, "It's logical that he's galloping all the way, sleeping in the wind and in the open, he should lose weight. But I'm not hiding it.
He said that he not only did not lose weight all the way, but his waist became fatter!"
He was so fat that the fat on his chin trembled as soon as he spoke. He could not see anything except his head or his stomach.
"It's not good to be too fat!" Zhu Yunxiu said as if he was chatting about family matters, "The imperial physicians all said that if a person is fat, his bloodline will not be smooth, and the person's body is strong and bloodline will be smooth. If it is blocked, he will have life worries!
”
"You are still young. You have the strength to move more and lose weight! Otherwise, you will not be able to lose weight even if you want to."
"Control your mouth and move your legs..."
"It would be strange if my boss could control his mouth!" The second brother Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke carelessly, "When I set off, I brought three pounds of cheese, which was not enough for the boss to chew for a day..."
"Second!" Zhu Gaochi frowned and scolded, "Did Your Highness ask you to speak? Why are you insulting?"
"Me?" Zhu Gaoxu was said a few words in public, feeling a little aggrieved.
"It's okay!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "Compared to your steady personality, I prefer your second son's free and unrestrained personality!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu, "In the war in Liaodong, I saw the memorial to report military merits. It is rare for you to be the son of the King of Yan, but you can lead the way and charge into battle."
"The son of the pseudo-Yuan Liao King was severely traumatized and almost became heroic!"
"I am worthy of being a good man from my Zhu family. What do you want? I will come and reward you!"
Although Zhu Yunxiu and Zhu Gaoxu were talking and looking at each other with a pleasant look, they actually didn't have any good ideas.
The purpose of Zhu's brothers coming to Beijing this time is that the New Year is fake and the real is real. In addition, Zhu Di also expressed his intention to bow his head to Zhu Yunxiu.
These three brothers from the King of Yan family are the eldest and the second and the third.
Zhu Yunqiu deliberately praised the second child just to make the second child stand up and turn around and cause trouble for his brother.
He thought so, but he didn't know that these three brothers are no longer the same as before.
Since the Battle of Liaodong, there has been some invisible difference between them and before. Although they still keep shattering their positions in private, they are really in love with each other when facing outsiders.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu has been exploring the brink of life and death several times, and has always matured a little.
"Say, what do you want to give you alone?" Zhu Yunsheng asked with a smile.
"I don't want anything. Killing enemies for the country is the duty of the Zhu family!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "But if your highness really cares about your merits, I would like to ask your highness to be grateful for one thing!"
"You said!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
"I heard that Lan Shuai is in the capital and want to go to Lan Shuai more often!" As he said that, Zhu Gaoxu grinned, "I came from Peking and brought many New Year's goods from Peking to Lan Shuai!"
