Chapter 75: Old Friends
As the spring grew, a gentle breeze blew over the royal court, bringing a hint of fresh grass from the grassland, which was fascinating.
In the royal court, the street is rarely lively, as if the first day, the people sing and dance, and celebrate the birthday of the old queen mother.
The old queen mother is the longest-lived elder of the Huns, and the lifespan of ordinary people is only the year of destiny, and the soul returns to her hometown.
Not to mention the old age, but there are very few, and the old queen mother has always been charitable, she carefully assisted the old Shan Yu, the Xiongnu governance in an orderly manner, and has great prestige among the people.
The people are filled with laughter and laughter, how can the palace be free from vulgarity?
Early in the morning, the palace is full of festive red, and the palace maids and eunuchs are very busy, and today they will feast the ministers, in addition to the competition.
Not only that, the Xiongnu tribes have gathered in the royal court, carrying heavy gifts to the old queen mother to congratulate her birthday, the people who come and go to the palace, the river is endless, the stream is endless, the noisy and boiling cars and horses are endless, and the situation in the downtown is no different.
Of course, it seems to be very lively, but it is not known in the shadows, and there are countless guards and masters guarding the surroundings to ensure that those with bad intentions take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
Fukujugong.
Where the old queen mother lives, just after the early morning, the princes and princesses who come and go to the palace to pay their respects are flocking like family sparrows.
At this time, a kind old woman with gray hair, supported by the palace maid, looked that her legs and feet were not very good, and from time to time there was a sound of coughing, she walked slowly to the hall and sat in the main hall, but saw that the junior cubs were already lined up.
Seeing the old queen mother appear, these little cubs knelt on the ground together and said in unison: "Grandson (granddaughter), I wish my ancestor a birthday, may my ancestor be healthy and live a long life!" ”
As he spoke, a group of princes, princesses, and county lords knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old queen mother for her birthday.
Seeing the juniors under her knees, the old lady showed kindness behind her, and she said happily: "Children, ...... Hurry up! ”
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
For an old man, when he is old, the happiest thing is to see his children and grandchildren around his knees, laughing and talking to himself.
The old queen mother is no exception, seeing the sound of the children's chirping, she is not annoyed, but happy.
For princes and princesses, the older ones have reached the age of standing, but the younger ones are no more than babbling children.
It can be seen that Tou Manshan Yu's vigorous energy, his harem six courts, and there are so many concubines, and so many heirs have been born for him.
After the princes and princesses celebrate their birthdays, they are the harem concubines, who kneel on the ground one after another, kowtow to their ancestors to congratulate their birthdays, and wait for everyone to salute, that is, the juniors of each family send their gifts carefully prepared for the old queen.
"Ancestor, this is the fire rain agate that your grandson prepared for you."
"Ancestor, this is the hundred-year-old ginseng that my grandson prepared for you."
"Ancestor, the gold bracelet that your grandson made for you."
"This is the jade ring that your grandson sent to make for you."
......
For a time, these princes and princesses gave the gifts they had carefully prepared to the old lady, among which there were many famous things prepared, such as: Hetian jade, turquoise, amethyst, chalcedony and other fine products, which can be said to be priceless.
People who can come up with such gifts, except for the royal family, how can ordinary people have such financial resources? Even if it is a businessman, I am afraid that it is beyond the reach of the dust, and I dare not imagine it.
In a short time, in the main hall of Fushou Palace, a dazzling array of rare treasures are presented in front of you, which is really spectacular and impermanent.
However, who is the old queen mother? She has lived all her life, and gold, silver and jewelry have long been outside her body. And she can't afford those ginseng, reishi and other supplements.
Such a great tonic, for an old queen mother, is not a tonic at all, but a poison, her body is getting weaker and weaker, how can she be such a spiritual thing?
Four words are enough to explain everything: "Void is not replenished".
At this time, the queen stood up, she squatted beside the old queen mother, held her hand, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, do you still like the gifts that the children gave you?" ”
(ps: The queen of the Huns should be called Yanshi, many people don't know, so they are replaced by 'queen'.) )
"These are all children's hearts, how can this palace not like it." The old queen mother said.
Rao is old queen mother doesn't like these gold, silver and jewelry, but how can she say it to refute the children's intentions, it's good to have a heart.
"Then I wonder which of the ancestors' favorite gift is?"
Every year, the old lady will choose a favorite gift, and the person who is selected can also get a rich reward from Shan Yu.
The old queen mother looked at those dazzling gifts, all of which were extraordinary, and she didn't know how to choose? Just when she was embarrassed, she suddenly heard a crisp and loud voice outside.
When everyone looked at the voice, they saw that Helan Rongruo's handsome figure was coming into the palace, and when they arrived in the palace, Helan Rongruo immediately knelt in front of the old queen mother, and said: "The road is delayed, the return is long, the grandson Rongruo, here to the ancestor to pay homage to the birthday, I wish the ancestor a smile and enjoy the family forever." ”
After that, Helan Rongruo kowtowed several times before getting up.
Among the many juniors, Helan Rongruo can be regarded as one of the most favored people of the old lady, after the old queen mother saw Helan Rongruo, her whole expression changed, she slowly beckoned: "My good grandson, come to the ancestor's side." ”
Helan Rongruo obediently came to the old queen mother's side, the old queen mother gently touched his cheek, excited and about to shed tears, she said: "Grandson, you have been studying for three years, do you know how much the ancestors miss you?" ”
"Ancestor, why don't you miss your grandson? Every year on your birthday, although your grandson cannot return to you, he never dares to forget, and at this time of year, his grandson will fast for a day to pray for the blessing of his ancestors. Helan Rongruo said.
Hearing his words, the old queen mother was even more deeply moved, she held Helan Rongruo's hand, and couldn't bear to say: "It's been three years, you have lost weight, you must have suffered a lot, right?" ”
"Grandchildren are not afraid of hardship, as long as they think of your ancestor, they are not afraid of even if they suffer more." Helan Rongruo said flatteringly, although he knew his flattering words, it still sounded warm.
"Good boy, three years ago, your father resolutely sent you to study in other places, and this palace felt distressed, among the juniors, this palace is most concerned about, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief when I see you return safely."
I don't know if Helan Rongruo is really bitter, he gently wiped the tears that wanted to drip from his eyes, and said, "Ancestor, don't say these sad words, my grandson has prepared a gift for you." ”
"Silly boy, you will be the biggest gift to the ancestor when you come back, and what kind of gift will you bring?" The old queen mother said.
"The grandson knows that the ancestor has the pain of coughing and wheezing from time to time, and it is difficult to sleep every night, and the grandson is heartbroken when he hears the news, and he goes to study in other places, looking for a long time, and finally gets a treasure, or can relieve the pain of the ancestor."
As he spoke, Helan Rongruo took a square wooden box, and after opening the wooden box, a small piece of ash-like object was placed in it.
When everyone heard it, they didn't know what it was, neither gold and silver jewelry, nor copper and iron utensils, but they wanted to be stones, and there was a fishy smell that emanated.
"Grandson, what the hell is this black lumpy thing?!"
"The name of this thing is: ambergris."
Ambergris?!
Everyone was stunned, but they had never heard of this thing, but when they heard its name, it should be an extraordinary superlative.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Helan Rongruo explained: "There is a sea in the big food, there is a dragon in the sea, the dragon sleeps on the rock, the saliva foam floats in the water, and the accumulation can be strong, and the merman explores it as a treasure." The color of this new thing is white, purple for a long time, black for a long time, and it looks like a light stone. ”
"Ambergris can gather smoke ears, burn a baht, green smoke floats in the air, knots but not disperse, smellers, can invigorate blood and qi, and it can be said to be of great benefit to those who dispel cough and wheezing."
"When my grandson learned that there was this miraculous thing, he did not hesitate to look for ambergris day and night, and finally paid off his efforts and bought it from the hands of a merchant in Binhai, just to alleviate the pain of the ancestors." Helan Rongruo said.
After hearing his words, the old queen mother was moved and almost cried.
Immediately, Helan Rongruo took a baht, placed it on the iron plate in public, and lit it with fire, and saw a wisp of green smoke, slowly rising into the air, gathering but not dispersing, which is really magical.
Helan Rongruo picked up the iron plate and turned around the old lady's body, but a faint aromatic smell permeated.
After the old queen mother smelled the smell, she really had a feeling of sudden comfort.
"Ancestor, how do you feel?"
The aroma of ambergris invaded the old queen's body, which really relieved her a lot of pain, only to hear the old queen mother say: "Grandson, this thing is really magical, and the wheezing pain of this palace is indeed a lot more comfortable." ”
Ambergris, since ancient times is a rare treasure, ready to say, more precious than the rare treasure, even if you are wrapped in a thousand dollars, it is difficult to find this thing.
"As long as you can make your ancestors happy, your grandson's gift is not in vain." Helan Rongruo said.
"Good grandson, the ancestor didn't hurt you in vain."
The old ancestor touched his cheek and said lovingly.
Seeing the ancestor so happy, there is no doubt that the ancestor's favorite gift this time must be ambergris.
Seeing Helan Rongruo, the old queen mother thought of Hermione, the two of them were talented and beautiful, they could be regarded as a couple, and asked, "Why don't you see Hermione's girl?" This palace has not seen her for a long time. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Hermione's voice coming: "Ancestor, Min Min is here to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
As she spoke, she saw a playful figure running over, and behind her was Meng Yi.
Originally, he was not qualified as an outsider, but just because he specially blessed him, he let Meng Yi come.
After Hermione's salute, the old queen mother noticed Meng Yi who came here, and she was shocked, seeing Meng Yi was as if she had seen her old friend, Meng Yi.
