Chapter 636: A Thousand Years of Righteousness
Yue Qianqiu's "enthusiastic retention" who rushed away did not leave the emperor in Xuandao Hall for that lunch, but only got a laugh and a scolding. Of course, he didn't forget that the little fat man and the uncle and nephew of Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, were still in his own territory, and Ye Guanghan, the second minister, could be said to be a troublesome trio, so he had to ask for instructions again.
And the emperor's answer was as concise and clear as ever: "When you confirm that Chongming is okay, you can ask Ye Qing to escort people back to King Jia's Mansion." As for Shiro...... Heh, you think I'm blind today, and I didn't see that he and you were singing a duet? On this good day when you have just become the head of the house, invite him to have a good meal and drink, and leave him to watch the lights at night, isn't this how it should be? β
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and wanted to say that the emperor was mistaken, and the little fat man and I were actually not that good. However, at this moment, the old lady Yue also coughed and echoed the emperor's proposal.
"Qianqiu, today's Lantern Festival, His Royal Highness is stuffy in the palace all day long, and it is rare to relax. You are a master here, and you don't have to worry about any danger he encounters, just treat him as if you are protecting him and experience the hardships of the people's livelihood. β
Yue Qianqiu almost wanted to moan. The little fat man is stuffed in the palace all day long? Are you sure you're talking about a fat man? This guy comes out and hangs around when he's fine, and he doesn't look up and look down, he has to intervene in everything, and he doesn't think he has enough time outside the palace? If you want to talk about people's livelihood and suffering, the little fat man will have to carry out all kinds of prices in the market, and everything that should be known and what should not be known is very clear!
But he couldn't resist the emperor, let alone his grandfather, so he had to agree. As for the scrutinizing or peeping gazes of Yu Jianzhong and the other guards, it was very natural that he completely ignored the past.
When he returned to the mountain gate after sending the emperor away, he found that all the people he had just sent off were gone. Not a single guard at the high gate could be seen, as if this Xuandao Hall had suddenly changed from the heavily guarded when the emperor came, to everyone could drive straight in. Touching his empty belly, the fire he had just given birth to disappeared, and he immediately resigned himself to the fate of the little fat man and others.
Although the Xuandao Hall was very large, he was quite familiar with this place, and he was even more familiar with Dai Zhanning's behavior and habits, not to mention, when he entered a courtyard, he happened to see the little fat man's guards standing in two rows like javelins, he knew that he had found the right place, and hurriedly went up and pushed open the door. The next moment, he heard the vigilant voice of the little fat man: "Who? β
"Me!" Yue Qianqiu replied angrily, and when he entered the house, he saw Ye Guanghan standing by the bed, Li Chongming was lying there with his eyes closed, and the doctor he recognized who was stationed in Xuandao Hall was writing a prescription by the desk by the window, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly wanted to stand up, he made a gesture to make people feel a little calm, and he didn't care about why Dai Zhanning was not there, so he directly dragged the little fat man out of the door.
Seeing this scene, Ye Guanghan couldn't help but have his eyes flickering, and then he looked down at Li Chongming, who didn't seem to be awake on the bed. If he had followed Old Man Yue's simple and brutal method of treating Pei Xu, he would have woken up Li Chongming a long time ago, but since King Li Yiming was not so anxious, he would not be like this as an outsider. It's just that when he thought of the words that King Jia's Changshi actually reprimanded, he had some palpitations.
What is the life experience of today's only son?
The little fat man was dragged to the outer courtyard by Yue Qianqiu, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Yue Qianqiu: "I asked the emperor, after Li Chongming is better, Ye Xiang will send him back, and you will stay in the Xuandao Hall, and after walking around with us at night to see the lights, we will send you back to the palace to the city tower and accompany the emperor to meet the subjects and the people." β
Although if you do a full set of plays, you should personally send Li Chongming back to King Jia's Mansion, so as to show "deep love between uncle and nephew", and there is no trace of mustard, but to be able to play this role, the little fat man already feels that he has used up his life's acting skills in advance, and Yue Qianqiu's words undoubtedly pushed off a big burden for him.
At that moment, he immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Good for you, you are really angry!" β
Let's talk about fart righteousness, that's what the emperor said, I don't want to keep you!
Yue Qianqiu didn't want this reputation of righteousness at all, but of course he didn't want to tell the little fat man his true thoughts, and after clearing his throat, he asked, "How is the situation of Prince Jia?" β
"Said it hit the head!" The little fat man said indifferently, but in the end, he still knew that there was a Ye Guanghan in it, so he immediately changed his face: "Chongming's head was hit hard, and coupled with excessive anger, the person fainted." Your Xuandao Hall Doctor Xu has already given Chongming acupuncture, and it will be good to wait for a few days to prescribe a prescription. He's young and strong, and he'll be fine! β
The little fat man felt that his words were very simple, and he was very satisfied with his performance, and then said a little eagerly: "Since my father asked Ye Xiang to send Chongming back, then without further ado, you should hurry up and arrange a carriage!" β
Look, it won't take long for your fox tail to be exposed, right?
Yue Qianqiu glanced at Li Yiming, who was anxious to get rid of his burden, and said with a smile: "What time is this?" Master and I just forgot to keep the meal, but chased the emperor out but still refused to appreciate his face, so I can't help it. But now you still want Ye Xiang to escort King Jia's prince back, isn't this too unkind? If you touch your belly, you won't be hungry? β
The little fat man was said by Yue Qianqiu, and his stomach growled very appropriately. His face turned red, and then he pretended to realize it and said, "I just thought that Chongming could take care of it when he went home, and I almost forgot!" Well, you have the food brought over, and we'll eat it here! β
When you're done eating, get in the way, and leave!
The little fat man couldn't bear the pain and decided to give up the opportunity to contact Xiao Jing first, and get closer to Yan Xu and talk about the opportunity to talk about love, what else does Yue Qianqiu have to say? He just did his duty as the new head of the Xuandao Hall, so he came to visit and condole, and at this time, with the decision of the little fat man, he learned that Dai Zhanning was called away by Liu Fangyuan, so he was relieved.
Without Dai Zhanning, Yan Xu didn't know where to invite the doctor who sat in the hall, but he was also a master for a while, plus the guards outside, so he naturally didn't have to worry about the safety of the little fat man, so he went in with a smile and said hello to Ye Guanghan again, and then rushed to the dining hall.
As for why not go to Kingotang...... Because he understands very well that at the moment when everyone is hungry from top to bottom, coupled with the different identities among the guests, that is, the eldest princess of Dongyang and Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, Yan Xu will definitely not be polite, and will definitely pull everyone to the canteen to solve today's lunch problem.
Sure enough, before he reached the door of the dining hall, the oncoming laughter almost rushed him to his headβmore than 100 people gathered together, and the sound was so loud that it almost toppled the roof!
When Yue Qianqiu sped up his steps and rushed to the door, he didn't know who shouted, and the place where he was in a commotion like a vegetable market just now was instantly quiet, followed by a greeting that was bigger than just now.
"I've seen the head of Yue!"
Yue Qianqiu was only slightly stunned, then smiled and clenched his fists in return: "There are many guests today, so most people have not been able to watch the ceremony." But in fact, there is nothing to see, and I am not an outsider, but I used to be a familiar elder brother, and now I am the head. What should be said, I have said it in the past, today is too lazy to talk nonsense, as long as I am here, there will be Xuandao Hall and everyone! β
With his last words, there was another cheer in the dining hall, and in this noise, Yue Qianqiu's voice was still clearly audible: "In a word, everyone has worked hard, this meal is full of food and drink!" β
Such simple words are more reassuring than any other words. When Yue Qianqiu came to the front table in the center, he saw that the chief was unexpectedly empty, and after he was slightly stunned, he went over and sat down. And on the left and right sides of this seat, one is the eldest princess of Dongyang, the other is Xiao Jingxian, even Yan Xu and Zhou Jiyue have to give way, as for the next side, it is Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning.
Yue Qianqiu first greeted with a smile, and then ordered to deliver food to the little fat man, Ye Guanghan and others. As soon as the words came out, Dai Zhanning smiled and said, "Senior brother in charge, don't worry, I have already ordered someone to deliver food." It's just that he thought that the emperor would probably stay, but Sun Li had ordered a meal for three hundred people one step earlier, but now there are a lot more. Although it is cold and the food will not be bad, and you can eat it as soon as it is hot, it is not appropriate to save it for tomorrow if it is a big holiday. β
After taking office, the first thing Yue Qianqiu had to solve was the problem of extra meals, which was really unexpected for him. However, he didn't have the heart to laugh at Dai Zhanning at all, and after holding his chin and thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Put the lights on for a few days, and the heaviest responsibility is the night patrol." β
He paused for a moment and continued: "In the afternoon, everyone sleeps, and at night, everyone works hard, and when they look at the lights, they inspect the security of the lamp market. These meals were taken as supper, packed in four military cooking wagons from our Xuandao Hall, and were not wasted. You must know that last night, Sect Master Zhou and I beat seven or eight thieves who wanted to beat people in the dark alley. β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingxian laughed: "I thought you would ask people to pick up the rest of the food to Yingtianfu Ya, Jiangning County Ya, or give it away to the front of the palace, so as to be a personal favor." β
Yue Qianqiu first raised his hand to signal the others to continue eating, and then he sandwiched a chopstick fish meat, and then said calmly: "After we finish lunch today, there will be at most a hundred or so people's meals left. Besides, the yamen of the imperial court, if they want to condole, it should be their own boss who goes out, what does it matter to me? β
The eldest princess of Dongyang saw Xiao Jingxian smiling and silent, so she then asked, "Then why don't you take it and distribute it to the poor?" β
"Don't tease me! This is the Shangyuan Festival, the most annual festival to promote the prosperity of the peace, the world is happy, and there are not even a few beggars in Jinling City. I don't take people to watch the lights, but I give out meals that don't cost money, but I am afraid that I will not be able to help the real poor, but I will attract the greedy and cheap. When that time causes a commotion, is this a good deed or a cause for chaos? β
Faced with Yue Qianqiu's natural answer, the eldest princess of Dongyang suddenly smiled. And at this time, Yan Xu stood up proudly, held his head high and said: "Mother, you and King Jin don't want to take the school examination for a long time, his ability has already impressed everyone eight years ago, let alone now?" Qianqiu, come, my old head respects you, the new head! β
Although there was no emperor and prime minister at this lunch, and there were not many martial arts celebrities to cheer up, it can even be said that there were no people of the older generation present except for the eldest princess of Dongyang, but the full house of high-ranking friends who were recorded at the time, and those who were fortunate enough to be present at the time recalled ten or twenty years later, they all said that they were staggered and went home happy.
But actually...... The farts were staggered, and Yue Qianqiu, who had just filled his stomach, saw Yan Xu and the toasters swarmed up, and he knew that it was bad.
Who is he? was not happy to suffer at all, and immediately made an excuse to send Ye Guanghan and Li Chongming away first, and slipped away, and threw Master Yan Xu down to the top tank very unjustly. Of course, the others didn't do it, and Song Pujia even slapped the table.
"Today, I finally seized a great opportunity to fill the big boss, how could I let him run away like this! Sister Zhou, on behalf of us, bring him back! β
Zhou Jiyue was angry and funny, but seeing that Yan Xu did not refuse to come, she was already drunk, so she could only get up and chase after her quickly. But as soon as she stepped out of the threshold of the dining hall, she heard Xiao Jingjing's laughter from behind.
"You can think of it, let Sister Zhou chase Yue Qianqiu, that's not a meat bun beating a dog, is there a return?"
Hearing that he was compared to a meat bun, and Yue Qianqiu was actually treated as a vicious dog, Zhou Jiyue suddenly couldn't help but want to turn around and settle accounts with Xiao Jingjing. But the next moment, more banter came at her.
"Young Palace Master, what kind of analogy are you? Now the head of the Yue family and the sect master of Zhou, this is simply made in heaven, and the door is right! β
Hearing that this was Xiao Jingxian's voice, Zhou Jiyue knew that she would only be doubly ridiculed when she turned her head back, so she could only pretend that she hadn't heard these nonsense discussions, and her feet were three points faster for a while. Soon, she caught up with Yue Qianqiu, because Yue Jiu Gongzi, who was looking for an excuse to slip away, didn't go too far at all, and seemed to be waiting for her intentionally.
"You finally became the head today, even if you are poured a few cups by everyone, you should run, what are you running?"
Knowing that this was not so much a question as a slight anger, Yue Qianqiu tilted his head with a smile and said, "I still have to enjoy the lanterns at night, it doesn't matter if the master is drunk, it's not easy for me to be drunk." Besides, how can I thank you if you're drunk? β
When he said these last four words, he stared intently at Zhou Jiyue's face, and saw that her cheeks gradually revealed a charming pink, so he arched his hand and said: "If you hadn't persuaded me last night, I might have caused a big trouble if I hadn't made a decision in time, thank you here." β
He didn't mention Yue Ying and his experience of visiting the grave in the middle of the night, and continued with a smile: "From now on, I will not only be the ninth prince of Yue, but the head of the family." You, a senior with more experience in being the head of the house, remember to mention me more, especially when I am confused. β
The front is still quite serious and grateful, but the back has become a joke, the red glow on Zhou Jiyue's face that has just been born faded in a moment, and I don't know whether to scold him for being nonsense, or readily agree. At this moment, she suddenly saw Yue Qianqiu looking directly at her, and then her eyes widened and she shouted, "Uncle Ying! β
Startled, she hurriedly turned around, but she saw that there was nothing behind her, and when she looked up, there was still no one. At this time, she realized that she had been deceived.
Yue Qianqiu's conspiracy succeeded, but he didn't have any careless intentions, and after taking a few steps back, he smiled and said, "Uncle Ying is probably sending Pei Xu somewhere, so he doesn't have time to take care of me!" Ji Yue, you are good at everything, but you are still the same as back then, too honest! I will learn from your good experience as the leader, but I will not learn from your honesty! I'll go and send them first, see you back! β
