Chapter 321: Giving Vegetables
Although Que Haoyi didn't eat all the more than 70 dishes in front, he ate 20 dishes to say the least, and he didn't have much appetite.
But since it is the Ruizhao of Wudang Mountain, it doesn't hurt to eat a little.
So, Que Haoyi asked the eunuch who was waiting for him to put some small clips into the plate, and then put them in his mouth.
Well...... This tastes.
Naturally, it is sweet and sour, and I can't taste what it tastes like.
The most important point is that this is the Langmei Ruizhao of Wudang Mountain, and it is best to give it to a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, so that it can be considered complete.
"Wei Xian, who are the Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain?"
Wei Xian suddenly made a difficulty, there were many Taoist priests who came down from Wudang Mountain in Chaoyunguan, and the acquaintances of the guest hall came down from Wudang Mountain.
However, such a poor and sour thing was sent to people, although it was said to be a plum blossom, it was precious. But it doesn't necessarily make that group of Taoist priests look at it.
"Back to the emperor's words, the Baoji County Order recently recommended a Taoist priest from the Wudang Mountain Langmei Temple, called Jin Yuanjing. Now that he is also in Bianjing, you said that you would see him after the New Year, but he came early. ”
Wei Xian mentioned Jin Yuanjing in a word, of course, just to ask for good luck.
The emperor looked at Wei Xian and suddenly remembered this man who had made meritorious contributions to the fight against smallpox.
He's really old and confused, how can such an important person forget! Ay......
"Really? Then give him this dish, and since you are here, then arrange for the Hajj to be with the vassal king on the third day of the first month! ”
Wei Xian stepped forward and waved his hand to let the little eunuch who was waiting to step down, and he was responsible for continuing to serve the emperor's dishes.
Of course, at this time, it is natural to whisper a few words to the emperor, so that the emperor will completely remember Jin Yuanjing, so as not to make a joke on the third day of the first lunar month.
"Your Majesty, smallpox has gone from the west to the east, and it is not easy for this master to treat smallpox."
Que Haoyi looked at Wei Xian with cold eyes, and Wei Xian hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stepped aside.
Yes, Wei Xian is telling the truth, and Que Haoyi admits that there is no need for him to deny this fact.
In fact, Wei Xian has always been a eunuch who has risen to the throne by sycophancy, and the biggest difference between him and other eunuchs is that he is not afraid of offending people.
The most important reason why Que Haoyi promoted him was that Wei Xian dared to say and do, understood him, and could comfort him from time to time.
The ministers in the court, the concubines in the palace, and the eunuchs in the harem, none of them can compare to Wei Xian.
Of course, he looked at Wei Xian coldly today because Wei Xian said about smallpox on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one is taboo about this matter.
"Go down and get twenty boards, and a fine of one month."
Que Haoyi ordered unceremoniously, Wei Xian was relieved when he heard that he was going to be beaten, and he almost thought that he was going to move his head.
"Slave thank the emperor."
With that, Wei Xian went down, and Que Haoyi's mood suddenly became extremely bad.
The queen watched carefully from the sidelines, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she didn't say anything.
Now, the emperor has punished her favorite Wei Xian, and she dares to say a few words.
"Emperor, today's beautiful day, and the Chinese New Year's Eve, this slave is also the first time to say the wrong thing, how can you be angry with him?"
Que Haoyi didn't speak, and drank all the wine in the wine glass.
And the queen watched the emperor drink this glass of wine sullenly, and her heart was very uneasy.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is your own body, although the government affairs of the previous dynasty are annoying, but the officials of the court are responsible. Do not make yourself unhappy because of the plague of the previous dynasty. In fact, the plague happens every year, and Chaoyunguan is fighting peace every year, maybe there are several plagues in this plague, but now there is only one, which is much better. ”
"Or the queen will comfort me. But...... Even if it only happens once, and the impact is deep, I can't feel at ease. ”
Saying that, Que Haoyi stood up, looked at the hundreds of delicacies that had not yet been enjoyed, and carefully calculated, first the clan relatives gave the food, then the palace people gave the food, and then the ministers and hundreds of officials gave the food, and I really couldn't think of who to give it to.
"Alright, I'm a little tired today."
As he spoke, Que Haoyi stood up, and everyone also stood up to salute the emperor, and Que Haoyi left in the eyes of everyone.
That posture is lonely and unwilling, painful and melancholy.
Yes, such a huge country, with fierce enemies in the north and barbarians in the south.
Everyone in the world knows that the emperor believes in metaphysics, but who knows that the emperor's fatigue is not comparable to ordinary people.
He didn't want to be a dead king, and none of his sons were competitive, so he could only keep moving forward, waiting for a new child to be born, waiting for the child to grow up, and then handing over the whole country to him.
The lonely emperor left the Xilong Hall with emotion and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, without Wei Xian's care, he felt that he was naturally empty, no one could understand him, and no one felt that he was right.
How long can such a Chinese dynasty last, Que Haoyi himself doesn't know.
He could only pray, in this crucial festival, that nothing would happen again......
In the pavilion, the Zhu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also coming to an end, the dishes are delicious, and it is the taste of Ganzhou, and everyone is very happy.
Jin Yuanjing likes to eat sauerkraut vermicelli fried in the night, and he took several bites of glutinous rice.
Eat, it's true that I can't eat.
Jin Yuanjing burped and leaned on the Luohan bed, and Runye sat on the other side.
Wei Yuan and Zhu Hongyu cleaned up the plates, and Zhan Ao sang out the words he had read, Runye wanted to reprimand Zhan Ao for frivolity, but thinking that there were no outsiders here, it was okay not to say it.
Zhu Hongyu stood aside and didn't feel inappropriate.
After listening to the glamorous words sung by Zhan Ao a few times, he also sang along.
"The snow on the chest, from the king's bite, the slave family does not dare to raise their voices......"
"Vermilion! Stop singing! ”
Runye originally didn't want to say that Zhanao was obscene, but when Zhu Hongyu sang this song, it was a bit too ...... It's so nasty!
Just hearing this, Runye's face turned red.
"Okay, okay, I'll change it. Full of palace waist slender. The age is the only way to be old. Just been touched by the romance, and the weeping Yang hammerhead ......"
"Sister, don't, stop singing!"
Zhan Ao couldn't help it this time, and hurriedly drank Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu glanced at Runye contemptuously, only to see that Runye's face was the same as Jin Yuanjing's face, red into tomatoes, and thought that Runye was nothing more than that.
In the past, it was said that there was no distinction between men and women, but in fact, it was just a cover-up......
"Amuse you today......"
"Bang bang."
Just as Zhu Hongyu teased that these people had not seen the world, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhu Hongyu and Jin Yuanjing were very vigilant, and Runye also frowned.
It may be that Zhu Hongyu has a psychological shadow about knocking on the door in the middle of the night, she obediently hid behind everyone, hoping that these responsible men would not let her open the door.
Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu and Jin Yuanjing, and hurriedly stood up.
"The Chinese New Year's Eve is in the imperial court again, there must be something important! What are you fooling about? ”
Saying that, Runye hurriedly went to open the door, and Zhu Hongyu watched Runye go to open the door, frowning. She knew what was going on with her and Jin Yuanjing who almost died last time in Kongtong Mountain.
Or the inn of the imperial court, or the door of the imperial court, or the Taoist temple recognized by the imperial court, isn't it ruthless than anyone else?
Of course, Runye has not experienced this, perhaps because the villagers of Peach Blossom Village are not so vicious, and the most important thing is that he is a doctor, and most of the people who knock on the door in the middle of the night are emergencies.
Therefore, Runye opened the door without any scruples, and Zhu Hongyu hid in the house and quietly poked her head out.
Jin Yuanjing was another man in the house, and he knew that he had to protect the family, so he also went out behind Runye.
In the past, Zhu Hongyu felt that men were not important, but now, she feels that having a man is really important...... When you are cannon fodder, it is still incumbent.
Runye opened the door and saw four people standing at the door.
They were wearing lanterns, the lanterns were covered with bright yellow cloth, the people in the back were wearing the official uniforms of military generals, and the two people in front were supposed to be eunuchs.
Runye politely got out of the way and let them in, of course, Jin Yuanjing stood aside.
"Two Dao Leaders, the gift of the Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived, thank you."
Runye and Jin Yuanjing stared wide-eyed, not knowing what was going on, or Zhu Hongyu saw it thoroughly in the back, and hurriedly took out the money from the sale of Bai Qiu, and gave it to the person who came to give the vegetables.
Runye and Jin Yuanjing thanked the front foot, and the four people on the back foot took the money.
For a while, the atmosphere was very peaceful.
Because for the sake of the face of the silver and the face of the two Taoist leaders, the people who came to run errands always felt that they were dipped in joy.
"Chief Rundao, Chief Jindao, thank you too, our family is naturally congratulating you. The two Taoist masters are meeting for the first time, and they can get the emperor's food. ”
The eunuch at the head of this is very good at speaking, and Runye and Jin Yuanjing look at each other.
I don't know what this eunuch is talking about.
"Please also ask your father-in-law to make it clear...... What is the argument for this gift? ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't know, the eunuch thought to himself that he didn't know where the wild Taoist priest came from, but he didn't know about this thing.
But what he thought in his heart, he would definitely not say it, he still smiled, looking at the two of them with neither yin nor yang.
"Every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will give food to the clan princes, civil and military officials, and harem concubines. This is the first time for you two, right? ”
Runye nodded slightly, I don't know what is in it, but this emperor really knows how to play......
"Thank you, father-in-law, we won't keep it here, you go back to rest early after your errand, and I will thank you again with Jin Daochang."
"Alright, let's go. The two Taoist leaders don't forget to rush back to Chaoyunguan in time. ”
After saying that, the people from the four palaces crowded the small door and went out again, and it was a happy event in itself to run an errand for the Taoist priest, and more importantly, there was silver this time.
They were all happy and didn't bother much.
Seeing the four of them leave, Runye and Jin Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief.
"The etiquette of this court is really strict, I am scared to death." Jin Yuanjing carried the food box and did not forget to complain.
Zhu Hongyu listened to it very well beside her.
"Open the food box, let's see what it is!"
Seeing Zhu Hongyu's impatient appearance, Runye laughed and said, "What, there are still things you don't know?" ”
"Nonsense! Isn't this the first time I've come to see the emperor, hurry up and open me to see! ”
