21. Chapter 21
Hundreds of officials gathered together at the palace banquet, toasted and drank together, sang and danced, in this happy and peaceful scene, as Zhou Yiyun expected, both of them were reduced to supporting roles, Liu Wu was very satisfied with this effect, and took this opportunity to experience this ancient party, lively and vulgar, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and they were happy. However, Liu Wu saw the other side, presumably everyone was bored, the greetings between each other were perfunctory, the surface attitude was very fake, singing and dancing, there were secretly officials drinking alone, these people should not be taken seriously, just like the desertion in front of their table now, Liu Wu pulled Zhou Yiyun's shirt: "Isn't a woman not going out of the door and not entering the second door?" Why is there a woman at the palace banquet? β
Zhou Yiyun looked around and replied in a low voice: "They are all the daughters of important ministers, and this banquet allows the father and the queen mother to pass by, so that they can marry in the future." Usually they have no chance to ask for their father or mother for such a trivial matter. "Liu Wu pouted This is a blind date in disguise, those little eyes with affection and veins, secretly sending autumn waves, Liu Wu felt that he was in a panic, only he was the only one in the palace banquet who was fortunate to participate, what an honor it was for others? Just look at the flattery of his father Liu Guanzhong. The titular father also changed his target, and Liu Yue was not seen. Looking at Zhou Yifeng and the bag at the lower table, the satisfaction of the big piece of food, this uncle and nephew really have something in common, and the face problem is not a problem, Liu Wu took the wine glass and lightly slipped the table, attracting Zhou Yifeng's gaze, and teased: "Which woman did the father marry you?" I'll give you a look. β
Zhou Yifeng quickly filtered the food in his mouth, raised his eyes and searched around: "The second table from the right in the fourth row should be the one I secretly saw." β
looked at the woman with picturesque eyebrows and a peach blossom face, and she was also well-informed and wise: "Twelfth brother, that woman and you are also a good match." β
Zhou Yifeng glanced at Liu Wu with disdain: "Eleventh sister-in-law, your vision is too low, younger brother, I like the kind of person who I feel sorry for and looks like a fairy of the Nine Heavens." β
"Do you think you are the Jade Emperor, and the Nine Heavens Fairy, the Twelfth Brother, don't talk nonsense and be careful to make people laugh." Zhou Yiyun hit his younger brother without any pressure, and then looked at Liu Wu: "I knew earlier, how good it would be for you to wear those strange clothes, this treatment, tsk, no one noticed that we moved a table and squatted in the corner." Just after saying that, Gonggong Li came to invite Bao Bao, and when he looked at Bao Bao and Zhou Yuhuang talking happily, Zhou Yiyun and Liu Wu bowed their heads at the same time to eat and drink, and now the goal is big. Zhou Yifeng put down the food in his hand and expressed his loneliness: "Brother Eleven, what should I do if your family is going to travel far away, are you willing to leave your handsome and brave brother?" He got up and squatted beside Zhou Yiyun: "Brother Eleven, why don't you go and beg your father and take me too?" β
"It's good for you to stay in the capital honestly, there will be a chance in the future. You're about to get married, and you still want to run around? β
"Brother Eleven, that's not right, you don't care about brotherhood at all." Fingers tapped at Zhou Yiyun's back, reminding his brother of the ruthlessness of his approach.
"If you have an idea, you can go for it. Stay away from me, things have changed now. Looking at Zhou Yiyun with his head down, Zhou Yifeng looked around, hey, this is the rhythm of being an arrow target, everyone who puts sharp arrows in their eyes will win the bid if they are not careful, Zhou Yifeng retreated to his table very interestingly, and continued to eat and drink.
Zhou Yiyun swept everyone's eyes with a smile on his face, as if he inadvertently looked at the bag that was originally beside Zhou Yuhuang, raised his glass and looked at the person who came over, took a sip of wine and pulled the cuffs of the catkins, prompting him to look at the bag, the bag has been transferred from Zhou Yuhuang's side to the queen, lying on the queen's lap and muttering, looking like snow, dignified and noble, phoenix crown and xiaxia, but among the many concubines, there is a trace of sadness, the queen wiped the bag's little face with a silk handkerchief, and the corners of her mouth smiled, whether it was true love or play, really has the temperament of a mother, but I heard the ruthlessness of her two sons, but from the surface at this moment, Liu Wu guessed whether the two had mutated, or had they changed their minds in this battle that could not see the light?
The queen touched the little head of the bag and looked at the innocent, lively and cute villain in front of her: "You are the imperial grandmother, why are you so beautiful, like a fairy." The queen smiled faintly, disdainful of the praise of her youth, but she didn't expect that there would be a little doll to praise her when she was old.
"You sue Grandma SΓΉ Huang, why is it called a bag?" The queen thought about the hypocrisy of the palace banquet, and it was as interesting as chatting with this little doll.
"Daddy said I was chubby like stuffed buns." Two little chubby paws held their chubby little faces: "Grandma Huang, do you see that the bag looks like a bun?" β
The queen looked at the cute bag, covered her lips and chuckled: "This name is interesting, and the imperial grandmother likes it very much." β
The bag was overjoyed: "The fairy grandmother is fragrant, and the bag is so like." The queen looked in the direction of her own grandson, her eyes were shrewd at a young age, and she was lucky to be born in a child like him......
Winter goes to spring, the eyes are full of green, quietly, unconsciously time flows, the itinerary has been set five days later, the 6-year-old bag often enters the palace to accompany Zhou Yuhuang during this time, every time before entering the palace, the catkins always remind him, cherish the next time I return to Beijing now, I don't know what year and month, the days of growth Zhou Yuhuang can not participate, make up for the blank of a few years, at least there will be memories. Liu Wu said to Zhou Yiyun: "The clothes you bring on the itinerary are good, and as long as you have silver, you can get anything, right?" β
Zhou Yiyun fully cooperated with his daughter-in-law's ideas and plans, and took effective actions to immediately come and go to the Ten Princes' Mansion. Moved by emotion and reason: "Brother Ten, I don't know when my brother will return, you must take care of yourself." The two of us have established a deep brotherhood from the bare doll, how many maids and daughters I helped you kick when I was a child, and after the death of the queen mother, I dare to go to the soup and fight the fire after your brother, and I am inseparable after the division......"
"Alas, you've already decided to think of me, brother? That's it, if there is anything to write to my brother, the brother who can help must do his best. β
"Brother Ten, you have protected me since I was a child, and I always make trouble to worry you." Zhou Yiyun lowered his head and sincerely criticized himself.
"It's good that you know, you haven't had Brother Ten by your side for a few years, you must have some eyes. Packed up with your belongings? What is missing to tell Brother Ten. Seeing that his eleventh brother was about to leave, Zhou Yici was full of reluctance.
"Is it my brother that I do anything, and my brother supports it?"
Zhou Yici patted his chest: "Of course." β
Zhou Yiyun smiled thiefly: "It's just the idea of support, and there is no practical way to express it?" β
Zhou Yici moved the stool to Zhou Yiyun's side with a hook of his right foot, and asked softly, "Eleventh brother, what do you want?" Let's talk about it. β
"Brother Ten, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." After speaking, he rubbed Zhou Yici's cuffs and told about the hardships: "This trip is very long, I can't see the land for two months, and the cost on this road is also a problem, in order to save my brother, I only took ten people with me, and I don't know the situation of the destination, do I need to make a point, my brother hasn't saved any property on weekdays, this is ......"
Zhou Yici saw that he was embarrassed, opened the box and took out a silver ticket and slapped it on the table, Zhou Yiyun picked it up and pouted: "Brother Ten, you are too stingy, what are you doing with only one thousand taels, how can you get eighteen thousand." β
"Yo, I just saw that you came to see me to tell the truth, you are here to blackmail me."
In the face of Zhou Yici's hindsight, Zhou Yiyun said righteously: "Tenth brother, what kind of blackmail is this, our brothers still use this word?" No, I still have a good brother and a toddler at home. Turning his face, he looked like he wanted to cry without tears: "Ten brothers wronged me, it's a trivial matter, I can't support them, how can I have the face to see you." β
"I owe you." Zhou Yici took a few more photos. Zhou Yiyun counted dozens of them, and was busy currying favor: "Listen to the sound of slapping the table, you know that there is weight, and the tenth brother can really stick a knife in his younger brother." Seeing Zhou Yici smiling and smiling, he immediately said goodbye: "Tenth brother, you don't have to see you off, otherwise my brother is really reluctant to you, and there is still this silver, so I won't pay it back, it's all your reward, my brother will go home first, and you don't need to send it." "Pull out your legs and run away from the evil that is to come.
Liu Wu took the silver ticket handed in by Zhou Yiyun and nodded: "It's really amazing, go out and get so much back, where did you get the blackmail?" β
Zhou Yiyun stiffened his neck: "How do you learn to speak from Brother Ten?" What kind of blackmail, this is a love offer, what a philistine. β
Five days later, the sky just dawned, there are still sparse residual stars in the sky, Zhou Yiyun and his party of 10 people quietly went out of the city to the east, on the way through the prosperous towns to feast, understand the local local culture, go to the remote place to eat and stay in the dew can also be passed, back to the mountain and water to hunt and fish is also a kind of fun, see the wonders of the spectacle, linger, along the way a few people do not see the wind and dust of trekking through the mountains and rivers, for this kind of unrestrained travel is relaxed and happy.
In the sound of the creaking carriage forward, the catkins lifted the curtain to look at the scenery in the distance, this is not a crowded city, there is no noisy noise of traffic to stimulate the eardrums, take a deep breath of fresh air mixed with the fragrance of grass and flowers, the mood is happy and the corners of the mouth are raised, continuous green mountains, green grass, flowers bloom, neat crops in the field, make people feel comfortable. Looking at the willow trees that occasionally disappear behind the car on the side of the road, I not only read: "Spring comes everywhere in the spring breeze, biased in the willow color of the lake bridge, I see the light yellow into tender green, and I know that the creation has a full effect." β
At this time, Zhou Yiyun, who closed his eyes and recuperated, squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you know how to make poems?" β
He didn't know that Lu You couldn't explain, so he could only play haha: "Do it with the scene, do it with the scene." After speaking, he twisted his head out of the car again unnaturally, and sighed that great men were not something that could be imitated casually. When approaching the destination, the catkins put on thick clothes for the bag, some of them are difficult to adapt to this temperature difference, the scenery here is completely different in the eyes of the catkins and they also feel very desolate, the fields that no one cultivates, and there is no quiet bridge and flowing water, the place where you look is a decay, the scene in front is like life, but this place is death.
"After the war, the people thought of a hundred happy lives and careers were destroyed by other countries again and again." Zhou Yiyun leaned on the shoulder of the catkins and looked out the window.
"It can only be said that this is an attack, and there are often wars here? Ouch, son, take pity on your father's waist. Seeing his father close to him, Bao Bao felt that he was left out, and jumped on Zhou Yiyun's back violently, and came to a stack of Luo Han, and the third layer of catkins cushioned the bottom, and the impact reached his waist. Zhou Yiyun patted the butt of the bag and put it on the quilt: "The last time there was a war was 15 years ago, when the county officials only cared about filling their private pockets, and there was no adjustment after the war, so that the loss of personnel was very strict. β
"No, it's very good here, the poor and the rich have a way to live, and it's better to be free."
Looking at the relaxed catkins, Zhou Yiyun said again: "There is one more thing, the starling brother used to lead troops here. β
Liu Fu was puzzled: "Father, is this asking you to learn from the starling?" Bao Bao didn't like their boring topics, and had fun by himself, his head resting on his father's thigh, his little feet on his father's lap, and the carriage dangling for a while, a small snoring sounded.
Zhou Yiyun pinched his chubby legs: "If you don't do well, you will study." β
"What about surpassing starlings, isn't that proving to others that you are better than starlings? What does the father mean? "Liu Fu is a little fried, cannibalism, will it happen to the Eighth Prince and Zhou Yiyun? frowned and asked: "Last time, the starling brother was plotted, and in the end he only punished the second prince, so simple?" How much are you involved in this? Otherwise, if you mention leading soldiers, your father will allow you to follow the old path of starling? β
"Su'er, I have a relationship with Starling, and I won't go that far."
"Zhou Yiyun." Liu Wu looked at the roof of the shed and sighed: "You are a mystery to me, the only thing I know about you is that you are not as simple as you seem, and your scheming is very deep." β
"Su'er, you have to believe me, my starting point is only to protect the people around me from harm, and status is all empty talk for me. If you want our family to live comfortably here for the rest of your life, as long as you nod your head, I will accompany you. β
Liu Fu smiled and waited, believed, and he was at peace with what he encountered, didn't believe it, took the bag and flew away, everyone in the house was born according to him, the trust of the bag, on the premise that he had not hurt these people, no matter what Zhou Yuhuang's purpose was, at least the two of them were still one, and his own reputation was also branded as the eleventh princess by the world, what can he bring to the bag when he has to go?
