723 Collectively pitted
As soon as Cao Cao is said, Cao Cao will arrive.
As soon as I said those old foodies, I didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, I saw several carriages rushing straight towards Liu's mansion, the one headed by the one, and the carriage had a big "Cheng" word written on it, and when I saw the carriage and the formation, I knew that the old demon king Cheng had arrived, and the ones behind were also those partners.
"Hello Uncle Cheng."
"Hello Uncle Wei."
"Hello Uncle Lee"
"Uncle Qin is good"
"Uncle Niu is good"
It is not strange that there are many people who salute, as juniors, Liu Yuan saluted everyone one by one, and Cui Mengyao and they also saluted, but they didn't expect that these five generals either didn't show up, and as soon as they showed up, they came together.
"Yo, where are they? They all ran outside the door to greet me Lao Cheng, and the faces of our brothers are really not small. Cheng Yanjin said triumphantly.
Wei Chi Jingde also said happily: "Everyone is here, hey, the children have been brought." ”
These old guys, big grinning, feel really good about themselves, Liu Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that a few uncles came to see my Liu Xue, what to say is a grand matter" After speaking, he hugged Xiao Liu Xue from Hu Xin's arms, walked to Cheng Lao Demon King, turned his head and teased his daughter: "Xue'er, look, so many grandfathers see you coming, do you see it, this is your Grandpa Cheng." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the child's little hand and shook it, and looked at Old Demon King Cheng meaningfully.
After Liu Yuan looked at it, and Xiao Liu Xue's little hand waved, in the eyes of Cheng Lao Demon King, it was clear that he wanted to ask for a meeting gift, Cheng Lao Demon King's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and then subconsciously touched it on his body, and soon, Cheng Lao Demon King, who had not prepared anything, said a little embarrassedly: "Look, the scattered dynasty has not returned home yet, and the emperor has passed it away." I didn't bring anything, the first time I saw this child, we can't be cold as elders, so let's send someone to send it another day. ”
According to the habit, when the elders and juniors meet for the first time, they should give something as a meeting gift, especially children, and they should not be stingy, otherwise they will be regarded as not intimate or stingy enough. Old Demon King Cheng was in a hurry, and he didn't have anything to do with it, and he looked embarrassed, but the big black face and full beard covered his embarrassment well, and he didn't see whether his old face was red or not.
Qin Qiong gently touched Xiao Liu Xue's head. Then he smiled and said, "Well, that's good." It's cute. Today, the old man did not take advantage of it, and this meeting gift has to be changed another day. ”
"I don't have anything on me" Wei Chi Jingde turned his head and said to Liu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, when will the 100-day banquet be held?" Look at the appearance of this baby and the elf, it's fast, right? ”
100 Days Feast? It's not Wei Chi Jingdeti, Liu Yuan almost forgot about it.
Huaxia is a country of etiquette, and there are naturally many kinds of etiquette. For example, children have a set of birth ceremonies, including "three dynasties", "full moon", "100 days", "first birthday", etc., like "three dynasties" is a congratulatory gift for babies to receive three days after birth, "full moon" is to shave fetal hair, "100 days" feast. Of course, there are many people in China, and different regions also have different customs, so they cannot be generalized.
Liu Yuan calculated, when Liu Xue was born, it was the night of the bloody battle of Xuefeng, and it was also the birth of Xiao Liu Xue Liu Yuan brought luck or something, according to that Chen Zhang's busy, when Xue'er fell to the ground, it was when Tubo blew the horn to collect the army, after Xiao Liu Xue was born, everything became beautiful, first bought Abo. color, successfully escaped from Tubo, joined Cheng Huailiang, returned to Chang'an smoothly, was promoted and knighted, and was really his own little lucky star, recall, from Xuefeng to Yangguan, it took twenty-one days, from Longyou back to Chang'an, stop-and-go, a total of a month and a half months, that is, forty-five days, adding up to just sixty-six days, plus in Xuefeng and Abo. The three days of the confrontation are still today, that is to say, it is just a month away, and a 100-day banquet will be held for Xiao Liu Xue.
If you want to invite relatives and friends like relatives and friends in Qinghe, as well as Cui Tingshi who is far away in Hangzhou, you have to send invitations now, and you don't know it, this father is not qualified, no wonder it is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this is experience.
"Fortunately, Uncle Wei Chi reminded me that the little nephew almost forgot that Xue'er still has a month, which is her 100 days." Liu Yuan said excitedly: "I must be lively." ”
"Liu Xianggong, Xue'er is a girl, just eat casually, it doesn't cost that money." Hu Xin whispered.
Liu Yuan said in surprise: "What, it's not good? ”
Cui Mengyao whispered: "It's really not good to work and move the crowd, when the eldest son of the prime minister is born, we will have a lively and lively operation." ”
Liu Yuan only remembered that in ancient times, there was not only the idea of patriarchy, but also the distinction between concubines and concubines, like in ancient times, a family had several brothers, and each married three wives and four concubines or something, if the people were prosperous, they encountered a special year, and there were ten times and eight hundred day banquets a year, which not only cost a lot, but also a kind of torture for those relatives and friends who were far away, so there was a distinction between primary and secondary, such as eldest sons and grandchildren, and children who were very favored would have such treatment.
Hu Xin has no identity as a princess, naturally there is no so-called equal wife treatment, if you are ranked in order, only ranked fourth, you can be regarded as a concubine, although she gave birth to Liu Yuan's first child, but it is just a girl, not only Cui Mengyao is against it, but Hu Xin also feels that it is not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful, it is estimated that in Tubo, girls are not to be seen.
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "This matter is decided, no matter which one is born in the future, whether it is a man or a girl, it will be done." ”
"Xianggong, you see that several uncles have been standing at the door for so long, it is better to invite them in first, and these things will be talked about later." Cui Mengyao saw that Liu Yuan's attitude was so resolute, and it was difficult to persuade him for a while, and besides, so many people watched, if they argued, it would make people laugh and be generous, it was better to change the topic, and then slowly persuade Liu Yuan in the future.
Now except for Hu Xin, who "came ashore first late", the rest of the women, including Cui Mengyao herself, have not moved for the time being, and it is estimated that the next child is too early to say.
"Yes, yes, uncles, please." Liu Yuan woke up at this time, and the old demon king and the others were still standing at the door, and hurriedly welcomed several generals in.
At the suggestion of Cheng Lao Demon King, Liu Yuan took the people to the side hall, and after the maid sent the wine, cakes, and fruits, Liu Yuan signaled the subordinates to retreat, so that several people could say something important.
As soon as the door closed, Old Demon King Cheng immediately said unhappily: "Xiaoyuan, you are not kind to do this, you have sold a few of our old guys." ”
What does Uncle Cheng mean by this? Did the little nephew do a bad job there, or did he behave badly somewhere? If so, please correct it, and the little nephew will definitely change it. Liu Yuan was startled and hurriedly asked.
"Don't you know what you're doing wrong?" Wei Chi Jingde said lightly while drinking, Liu Yuan felt that the corner of his eyes was a little unfriendly.
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "The little nephew didn't do anything, if there is anything, a few uncles might as well say it directly." ”
Old Demon King Cheng said loudly: "Okay, let's talk about it Lao Cheng, Xiaoyuan, let me ask you, did you get rid of your share of the cement used in Chaoyan?" ”
"It is true, I don't know"
Before he finished speaking, Li Jing said lightly on the side: "Several of us are all participatory, what is the matter, in fact, it is not too late to discuss it and then make a decision, you don't accept that share of the silver, it is a donation for the country, this is a good thing, no one will stop it, but if there is another matter, you can discuss it with us first, lest it seem that we are not conscious enough, and secondly, we will lose the room for negotiation, no matter what it is, is it better to act in unison?" ”
"Understood" Liu Yuan nodded, and said to a few people with a somewhat gloomy face: "Uncles, were you summoned by the emperor to let you reconcile or settle accounts or something, and then hinted that the little nephew was highly conscious, and took the initiative to give up the silver, so he should donate it to the country or something, with the so-called leader of the little nephew, all the uncles were unwilling to give up the benefits they deserved, right?" ”
"Yes, you have donated everything, we old guys, we can't even compare to you, there is no indication at all." Niu Jinda said helplessly.
Come on, Liu Yuan finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from your uncles, in fact, it was the eldest grandson Sikong who first set this example, and the emperor said that the treasury was difficult or something, the two of them sang and harmonized, and the little nephew couldn't donate it, that's the case, I didn't expect several uncles to be like this, hehe, it's all over." ”
Cheng Lao Mo was excited, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, is this serious?" ”
Liu Yuan patted his chest and said, "With so many uncles here, how dare the little nephew lie to you?" ”
It's a big deal, so many people, they were collectively pitted by Li Er. (To be continued......)
