Chapter Eighty-Eight: Who the Father Is Really Matters

When the emperor ate, he generally ate three tables of dishes alone.

Sometimes the Empress would sit on the side and eat at another table with a bowl while paying attention to what the Emperor had eaten, and it didn't matter what she ate herself, how it tasted.

Liu Ju often eats with his father and mother, but he can only sit under his mother and eat very simple meals alone.

On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Che's three dining tables are filled with various bronze utensils, as well as lacquer boxes, nine to be exact, which contain all kinds of meat soup, vegetable soup, and barbecue......

There are six dishes on the queen's table, and as for Liu Ju, there is only a simple soup, soup, and rice on his table with a little toppings.

If he wanted to eat something delicious, he had to wait for his father to see that he was pitiful and reward him with a few dishes.

Generally, at the end of eating, it will become more and more dishes on Liu Zhi's table, and there are fewer and fewer dishes on Liu Che and Empress Wei's table.

"Young people should eat more!"

Liu Che looked at his thin son and sighed, and asked the eunuch to bring a dish of meat to his son.

Liu got up and thanked his father, then returned to his seat and began to gobble up.

Empress Wei liked to see the scene of their father's kindness and filial piety, and she picked up her wine glass and said to Liu Che: "According to her, she has grown an inch taller than half a year ago. ”

Liu Che drank the wine in the cup and said, "It's still too thin, alas! For many years, when I was his age, I always felt hungry and didn't have enough to eat, and the emperor often laughed at me, saying that I was a real wild boar!

The food I gave me was gone in a blink of an eye! ”

Empress Wei smiled: "In this way, Your Majesty can be eight feet tall and magnificent." ”

Liu Ju looked up at his father and mother who were talking, gritted his teeth and continued to bow his head to eat the food given by his father, and if he couldn't finish it, he would be unlucky.

The emperor's meal time was very short, especially on the main day, he hated these rules very much, and after a casual conversation with the queen, he got up and left.

As soon as his father left, Liu Ju spread out his limbs and lay on the ground, rubbing his belly and complaining to his mother: "What to do with sunflower soup for me, you know I don't like the taste." ”

Empress Wei sighed and said, "Can't you report to your father and the emperor, and say that you want to keep a few dishes for the emperor's eldest son and subordinates to enjoy?" ”

Liu Ju shook his head and said: "Huo Guang doesn't know how to eat, he never eats in the palace, and Yun's meals are much better than those in the palace." ”

Empress Wei smiled bitterly: "The two meals on the first and fifteenth day of the new year are the food, and the food is the rules.

It's your mother's rules!

The Great Han Dictionary Law makes it very clear that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, your father must accompany our mother and son, which is also grace.

No matter whether the food here is delicious or not, as long as it is given out, it is a great grace to others.

It is also the source of the allusion to my Liu Taizu Emperor Gao, when he enveloped Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, "pushing food and undressing".

Huo Guang's son is gifted and intelligent, born in a wealthy family of the Huo family, and grew up in a powerful family like the Yun family, so it is difficult to be surrounded by small favors.

But what?

The purpose of your actions is not necessarily Huo Guang's gratitude, but to let the world know that it is enough for you to be wholeheartedly good to Huo Guang.

In such a situation, Huo Guang can only be loyal to you, if there is anything sorry for you, it will inevitably be pointed out, which can ensure that Huo Guang can only be used by you to the greatest extent.

Once Huo Guang has your mark on his body, it will be difficult to escape.

This is your greatest advantage as the eldest son of the Emperor, son, you must make good use of your advantages! ”

Liu Ju looked down at the white jade pendant on his waist, nodded and said, "Today, I will reward him with this white jade pendant that I like very much in front of everyone." ”

Empress Wei smiled: "It's not in a hurry, take your time, you have to do it naturally, and there can be no traces of artificiality."

Go, didn't you make an agreement with Huo Guang today to see the Saltless Golden Ball? Remember, don't be tempted by those golden balls to do unseemly things. ”

Liu said with a smile: "The child was born in the royal family, how can a little bit of a blockage be enough!" ”

After saying that, he saluted his mother and strode out of the palace.

Huo Guang always felt that Liu Ju's smile today was very strange.

From the beginning of the car, this guy actually knew to raise his hand and pull him into the car, which is very strange, you know, after Liu Yi used to get on the car, he would usually sit in the middle of the carriage, as for how others sat on him, he always didn't care.

This time, he sat directly by the window, leaving the position by the door to Di Shan and Huo Guang.

Huo Guang shook his head puzzled, and finally asked Liu Ju: "Your Highness has prepared a hundred gold today?" ”

Liu Ju said with a smile: "What are you going to do to spend money today, and you actually want so much money?"

If we want something, we give it a command, and naturally someone will send it back, so why bring money? ”

Huo Guang smiled: "I just want to see the difference between one hundred gold and eight hundred gold, and after a while, His Highness will also take a good look."

The Wuyan clan's show off of wealth this time is really a grand event in our Han Kingdom, and it also lets the turtles who entered Beijing see how rich Chang'an City is. ”

"Your Highness......"

Di Shan shouted Liu Ju, and handed the notebook in his hand to Liu Ju, Liu Ju glanced at the notebook and said to Huo Guang: "Master Di Shan hopes that we can keep our hearts and not be confused by external objects."

He also said that money is only a thing outside the body, and you can't eat if you're hungry, and you can't drink if you're thirsty. ”

Huo Guang arched his hand towards Di Shan and said: "What Master Di said is very true, but money is true for individuals, but for the country, it is blood in the blood, if there is no blood in our veins, how can people live?"

As the family teacher often says: the country cannot be without money for a day! Without money, the army cannot do a single step, without money, the officials cannot carry out their lives, and if the army and officials cannot do it, the country and society are in danger.

His Royal Highness can despise money, but he can't help but understand the importance of money, and only when he has money and is good at using money can he be regarded as mastering the essence of money. ”

Di Shan nodded again and again when he heard this, and raised his thumb to say good.

He said to Liu again: "This is ...... Great goodness! ”

Liu Ju nodded seriously and said, "I wrote it down." ”

Huo Guang saw that the news he wanted to convey had been passed on to Liu Ju, so he no longer talked about money, but talked about some interesting things about the Yun family, which provoked Liu Ju, and Di Shan often laughed.

"Do the servants of the Yun clan often fight?"

Liu Ju wiped the tears from his laughter and asked Huo Guang.

Huo Guang pointed at Di Shan and said with a smile: "The servants of the Yun family are all people who have encountered great difficulties, so they are very tough, and it is common to do things when they don't agree.

My wife wanted to clean up the family style more than once, but she was stopped by the family teacher, saying that once I had a bad relationship with Confucianism at Northwest Polytechnic, I would use these servants to save my life. ”

Di Shan smiled: "You...... Northwest Institute of Technology is also a Confucian ...... Branch! ”

Liu Ju naturally would not participate in the dispute between Northwest Institute of Technology and Confucianism, but only urged Huo Guangkuai to say how the Yun clan would use a fierce servant to deal with Confucianism.

"The tutor said that once he angered Dong Gong and was hit by him, he would send the servants of the family to fight to see if Dong Gong could gain the upper hand in the foul language of the servants!

If Dong Gong has the upper hand, my family's servants will undress and splash to see how Dong Gong responds! ”

Di Shan shook his sleeves and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense! ”

Liu Ju couldn't laugh anymore, and fell on the mat and slapped the carriage hard, almost out of breath.

Talking and laughing along the way, the carriage has already arrived at the bazaar.

Because of Liu Ju's arrival, the people in the bazaar had been dispersed early, and the originally lively streets were empty, but the shops on both sides were crowded, one by one stretching their necks and waiting to see the eldest son of the emperor of the Han Empire.

Liu Ju got out of the carriage, and the arrogant head of the Wuyan clan, Zhan Chang, greeted him, and the steward of the Wuyan clan standing behind him, the servants knelt on the ground, and even the idlers on both sides of the shop knelt on the ground to greet His Royal Highness the eldest son.

At this time, Liu Ju was really worthy of the four words Wen Ruyu, first returned the gift to the head of the Wuyan family, and then waved his hand and said: "All the ministers are exempt!" ”

Huo Guang watched this group of people move with Liu Ju's every move, remembered what the master said before, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "It's really important who my father is." ”

Seeing Liu Ju talking and laughing with Wuyan Zhan, surrounded by people left and right, Huo Guang was extremely emotional.

Suddenly heard a low whistle, Huo Guang followed the voice, and saw Zhang Anshi holding a teacup, standing in front of the window on the second floor of a restaurant with a smile and looking at him.

In just an instant, Zhang Anshi retreated again.

After walking a stone's throw away, Liu Ju, who was talking to Wuyan Zhan, saw eighteen huge golden balls shining in the sun, even Liu Ju, who had just said that he had no high desire for money, was distracted for a moment.
