The next day, two of the head of the household department of the sixth grade, one from the five-grade household member Wailang, and the other from the five-grade household department, a group of four people arrived at the Mingzhu Mansion after the early dynasty.

A few people are not stupid, this time Lord Mingzhu is willing to see his group, there must be something he wants to tell him to do. After all, although I have submitted a prayer post and expressed my attitude, I have not yet submitted this petition. Not surprisingly, this time he summoned himself and others into the mansion, which must be related to this.

The porter saw that his lord's guests had arrived one after another, although he was a little disdainful in his heart, but he still respectfully invited them into the house.

On the other side, Mingzhu has prepared a banquet in the front yard, eight hot dishes, four cold dishes, two soup dishes, and ten jars of good wine. It's not a slack, and it can even be said to be preferential. After all, it is still a bit risky to let them do what they want to do this time.

Mingzhu saw that the four of them had already arrived, so he took his second son Nalan Yuxu to the wine table together, after all, this matter is not a big deal for himself, Mingzhu only needs to show his face, and the rest will be handed over to Nalan Yuxu to talk to them.

While walking towards the wine table in the front yard, Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, remembering that in the past, when she was in her heyday, those princes and elder brothers came to their own mansions, and they all took their eldest son Nalan Xingde with them.

It's just a dozen years, and it's already a matter of fact. At the beginning, he was deeply valued by the emperor, but now he is just a chess piece to balance the prince. The Emperor's favor has long been cut off. At the beginning, none of those princes and elder brothers will go to their mansion again.

The amazing and gorgeous eldest son character of the past has now become just a piece of loess on this land. When you think about the past, you can't help but forget it.

Mingzhu showed up at the banquet, reluctantly persuaded a few of the people present, and went back to the study directly, and the rest was all handed over to his second son, Yuxu, to deal with.

How could he not know what his father was thinking? It's just touching the scene, my big brother, hey, I don't want to. Such a wonderful character died so young, I'm afraid it's not jealous of the talent.

It's just that there are still things that need to be done by my father right now, and it's really not the time to be sad. Thinking about it, Yu Xu hurriedly restrained his emotions, and hurriedly pushed the cup with a few people in front of him, and drank happily.

Full of wine and food, the officials of the four household departments also knew that the main event was coming. Yu Xu is not the person who rubs his temperament, so he immediately spoke. "Several adults are veterans of the household department, and I think I have the best understanding of the situation of the household department."

"Last time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made meritorious service, and the household department followed up with a mouthful of soup to drink, but how can a few months of Yulu be compared with a promotion and a knight?"

As he spoke, he paused. There was a hint of solemnity on his face, which was still a little ridiculous just now. "It's just that, as far as I know, that Wei Qi didn't really do anything about that!"

The people present are all smart people, and there is no need to say more, just stop at the point. Seeing that the four of them nodded in understanding, Yu Xu returned to his previous teasing appearance. After chatting with a few more people, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The four of them took a look, this was serving tea to send off guests, and they all picked up a few nice words before saying goodbye and leaving.

Seeing that these four people were obedient, Yu Xu did not embarrass them, and waited until several people left, and then walked to Mingzhu's study. At this time, my father was worried, and he still had to go and comfort himself.

When he entered the study, Mingzhu's eyes were still a little red, and there was some sadness in his eyes that could not be resolved. In the middle of this study is the portrait of Nalan Xingde, every time he thinks of his son, Mingzhu will always come to the study to take a look at this portrait.

The pain of losing a child in middle age is a festering wound in Mingzhu's heart, and it can't be healed.

Looking at his father's already gray hair, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Before the eldest brother died, what a beautiful situation the Nalan family was! The father is a powerful minister, the eldest brother is a favored minister, and all the children of those famous families should avoid their edge.

It's just that after the eldest brother left, the Nalan family began to fall. How many people really regard the Nalan family as a character now?

When he entered the door of the study, the sadness in Mingzhu's eyes was slightly lighter. "Come, come over and have a drink with Amma." Seeing Mingzhu say this, although he had already drunk with those household officials in the front yard just now, he did not shirk.

On the small table in this study, wine and food have already been placed. A small plate of garlic cucumbers, a plate of cooked beef, and a plate of chicken, with a jar of pear blossom white.

As soon as Yu Xu poured pear blossom white into the small cup in front of Mingzhu, he heard Mingzhu Wu say to himself: "In the past, your eldest brother loved to drink this pear blossom white the most. The pear blossom is white, the jade cup, and he also owes the grace of the saint, so he didn't ask him to cut off the Huang family's tribute. ”

Listening to Mingzhu's words that were almost talking to himself, he didn't know how to pick it up. In the past, he was also jealous of his eldest brother, after all, as the eldest son, he was so good, and he shared so much of his parents' kindness.

It's just that he can't hate his big brother. is such a gentle person, it seems that he has poured his whole life into the word love. has always been a figure that he looks up to, although he is jealous, but he wants to be as good as him.

Mingzhu didn't want to answer anything, so he said a word to himself, and drank the pear blossom in front of him. Seeing this, he quickly filled the wine glass. He knew that he didn't have to say anything now, he just needed to accompany his father and let him vent the worries in his heart.

"When is this hatred gone? Dripping empty steps, cold and rain, funeral weather. Three years of long soul dreams, is a dream that should wake up for a long time. The material is also sense, and the world is tasteless. It is not as dusty as the night platform, deserted, and a sad place. The hairpin made a covenant and abandoned it.

If there is a Pisces in Chongquan. I know him well, and he has been bitter and happy all the time, and with whom he depends. I turned from midnight to side, and endured listening to the re-arrangement of Hunan strings. When it is over, he knows it. I'm afraid that both of them will have a thin life, and then they will be saved and the moon will be left in the wind. The tears are gone, and the paper is dusty. ”

was drinking the pear blossom white in front of him and taking two bites of side dishes on the table, when he suddenly heard Mingzhu's somewhat old voice sounding in front of him. Yu Xu knew that this was the eulogy written by the eldest brother.

He was trying to say something to comfort and comfort his father, after all, his father was more worried today than before. It's just that before he could say anything, he heard Mingzhu say softly: "Go down, there is still someone in charge of this family." ”

There was no way to talk about it, so she could only leave Mingzhu alone in the study, drinking and mourning alone.
