Chapter 527: Zodiac
A "nobleman" wearing a wig, face powder, tight white cloth underwear, a rectangular cloak outside, and speaking with his nostrils smoothed the half-cut pants with a short tight crotch pocket, and showed off the white garter belt he washed by the way, stood up and said: "You Chinese, what kind of pigs, dogs, and rats?" Unlike us, it's all Taurus, Leo, Andromeda...... and how majestic! I don't know what your ancestors thought! ”
Old John was translating with his head drooping, in fact, if Little Awen was next to him, he could understand it, but the little brother didn't go to the city gate to pick up his sister-in-law, not at the scene!
The emperor's face is really not good-looking, he was originally thin and yellow wax, but now, he has added a thin layer of anger, it's not that he is afraid of foreigners, the emperor of a country, after listening to a few jokes, he pushed the foreign envoy out of the noon gate and beheaded him, which is a bit unworthy.
The civil and military generals here, it's not that they don't want to lift the table and hit the bench and point at the nose of the alien to scold, the problem is, we haven't thought about what the twelve genera left by the ancestors mean, this has no basis and no basis, there is no way to quote the scriptures and dictate the scriptures, how to refute it?
It can only be said that the old-school education method teaches people to death, and it will only be passed on, not created by itself. Could it be that the little emperor would cut off your head because you have maintained the honor of your ancestors?
The generals are also bored, they are used to shooting arrows with real swords and real swords, but they have never experienced the tongue in their mouths.
As a result, all the Chinese civil and military officials present were silent, or they may not have reacted.
A clear answer. Walk through the ninety-nine-eighty-one steps. Rushing straight into the embarrassing silence......
"Yes. The ancestors of the Chinese are very real. Our zodiac signs face each other in pairs, and the six paths of reincarnation reflect the expectations and requirements of our ancestors. ”
A woman who was gradually plump, neatly draped in the clothes of the county lord of the dynasty, wore a ring, and came slowly.
Behind him, Xiao Arwen clenched his fists, but his face was calm. On the other side, Ying Wuyi wore a green shirt, walking as light as a cloud of smoke, but his body was solid and calm.
A big smile finally broke out on the emperor's face, and his county lord's sister was back!
After Ah Yuan finished saying this, he bowed down on top of the Golden Palace: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Flat!" The little emperor also stood up half-stretched, and his eyes converged with Ah Yuan's eyes.
Needless to say, the moment is what the heart refers to.
Lord Furui stood up and stood still, and immediately turned his head to look at the few aliens who dared to provoke above the Golden Palace. With a touching smile on the corner of his mouth, he opened his lips and asked, "I heard it just now." Don't you understand the meaning of my Great Song Zodiac? ”
At this time, the atmosphere of the scene slowly quieted down, from the beginning of the emperor suddenly issued a holy decree to marry, let the county lord of Furui remarry, the court has caused a heated debate, originally, the county lord returned to Beijing, is to undergo some old pedant questioning and accountability, but now, who still has the heart to pay attention to the county lord and who is the two of them?
The old pedant also knows that in front of outsiders, it is the best plan to "go outside" first.
On the top of the Golden Palace, Lu Shangshu, who was old and strong, stroked his beard and stood his ears, and also listened to the county lord's talk.
I know that this county lord doesn't like to play cards according to common sense on weekdays, maybe this time, nonsense, can just fight back against the arrogance of aliens!
Old John smiled as if he was about to bloom, his voice was raised, and he was making detailed translations for several "relatives", but his eyes fell directly on the bright and vivid cheeks.
"Princess? The Great Song Dynasty - the lord of the opposite sex? ”
The faces of the nobles still have a look of indifference, this ordinary little woman dressed and singing is not better than these hundred and ten civil and military officials?
Ah Yuan nodded to Old John, this is a respect for the translator, please make sure that the translation is in place: "Our twelve zodiac signs, the first group is the rat and the ox. The rat represents wisdom and the ox represents diligence. Wisdom and diligence must go hand in hand. If you are wise and not diligent, then you will become clever; And just being diligent and not using your brains will become stupid. The two must be combined. This is what our ancestors expected and demanded of our first group, and it was also the most important group. ”
The eyes of the civil and military officials suddenly brightened, yes, why didn't we think of it? Isn't this a wonderful match between a mouse and a cow? Once everyone shouts and beats the rat on the street, as soon as it is explained, it becomes wisdom and cleverness, high, really high!
The little father-in-law had already brought a seat to the county lord, but when people talked about it, they refused to sit at all.
Old John translated Ah Yuan's explanation with a smile, and the "relatives" who grinned and laughed with their big mouths had their expressions a little frozen.
Ah Yuan gave Old John a thumbs up, shook the spacious embroidered robe slightly, and continued her preaching: "This second group is the tiger and the rabbit. The tiger represents bravery, and the rabbit represents prudence. Courage and prudence must be tightly combined in order to be bold and careful. If bravery leaves prudence, it becomes recklessness, and without bravery, it becomes timidity. This group is also very important, so ......".
Her left hand was behind her back, and her right hand gracefully stretched out an index finger and shook it: "When we show caution, we must not think that the Chinese do not have a brave side." ”
Lu Shangshu slapped his palms and shouted: "Okay! ”
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to say, let the Lord of Furui marry a few more times, he will raise his hands in favor, whatever! Such a wise and brave county lord can do whatever he likes, and no one should talk nonsense!
The process of old John's translation is the process of the civil and military officials falling into contemplation, Xiao Awen took a few steps forward, standing on Ah Yuan's side, the young man's voice was crisp and powerful: "The third group of the zodiac is the dragon and the snake, the dragon represents the fierce, and the snake represents the flexibility. The so-called rigid is easy to break, too rigid is easy to break, but if there is only a soft side, it is easy to lose assertiveness, so the combination of rigidity and softness is our ancestral ......".
Xiao Awen's eyes were shining, just like when he was very young, he did something right, memorized an article, and looked at his sister-in-law with a bright look, looking forward to his sister-in-law's praise.
Ah Yuan tilted his head and smiled, his right hand was erected from under the wide sleeve, and Xiao Awen's right hand was also erected, touching his sister-in-law's palm, which was a unique gesture of mutual celebration and encouragement from their Bai family.
The little baby has grown up, and the eldest sister-in-law can take a break, Ah Yuan's hand was led by Ying Wu, sitting on the emperor's special chair, the husband and wife also smiled, Ying Wu stood behind his wife calmly, watching the extension and expansion of Xiao Awen......
However, at this hour, the civil officials present have really learned how to interpret the meaning of the zodiac, and Xiao Arwen can't specialize in beauty.
Lu Shangshu took the lead in firing the cannon: "Sima and the county lord will rest first, and let the old man explain in detail." ”
This old man is also a little interesting, you can explain it, what are you doing with your arms to protect the civil officials around you?
"Next in this zodiac sign are the horse and the sheep, the horse represents the courage to move forward, and the sheep represents harmony. If a person only cares about himself and goes straight to the goal, regardless of the surrounding environment, he will inevitably keep bumping into the surroundings, and in the end he may not be able to achieve the goal. However, when a person patronizes Heshun, he may not even have direction. Therefore, the courage to move forward must be closely combined with harmony, which is the fourth set of expectations of our ancestors. And then ......".
"Next is the monkey and the chicken......", Lu Shangshu didn't stop the other civil officials from showing it after all, his arms couldn't reach, and a young civil official was trying to stand out: "The monkey represents flexibility, and the chicken crows regularly, which represents constant." Flexibility and constancy must go hand in hand. If you are flexible and not constant, no matter how good your ideas are, you will not be able to reap the rewards. This combination, on the one hand, has stability, maintains overall harmony and order, and on the other hand, can move forward in flexibility, which is the most fundamental point. ”
The emperor's yellow face gradually became rosy, and he witnessed another courtier come forward, and his mouth was like a river: "Finally, there are dogs and pigs." The dog represents loyalty, and the pig represents easy-going. If a person is too loyal and does not know how to be easy-going, he will reject others. Conversely, if a person is too easy-going and has no loyalty, the person loses his principles. Whether it is loyalty to a nation or loyalty to one's own ideals, it must be closely combined with easy-goingness, so that it is easy to maintain the balance in the depths of the heart. ”
What a good story! Ah Yuan couldn't stop applauding and congratulating them, but unfortunately, this etiquette had not yet become popular, and above the Golden Palace, she was the only one who slapped "popping-" sounded.
The emperor's voice raised slightly, and he gently changed direction: "Friends from afar, we have finished explaining the 12 zodiac signs, and finally, I would like to know what expectations and requirements your ancestors of your ancestors embody in your constellations such as Aquarius and Sagittarius?" Hope to teach. ”
The phoenix-like aristocrats, who were still arrogant not long ago, did not speak for a long time, and the audience was silent.
Only the lord of Furui County, facing the emperor from afar, the thumbs of both hands were raised together, such an action, the only woman in the Great Song Dynasty who dared to do it to the emperor at will, without worrying about any taboos and angers.
How many disputes and troubles have two sisters and brothers with different surnames experienced? Although we haven't been together for a long time, we can trust each other and trust each other.
Not everyone is willing to risk offending the queen mother to repeatedly ask for the life of an emperor's own brother, not everyone can send their disabled son to others to raise without saying hello, not everyone once they see the emperor is troubled, they immediately stand up and fight with a stab...... (To be continued......)
