In the Panxiang Hou Mansion, many royal relatives and female relatives of the Hou Mansion gathered together, Yingying Yanyan, so lively, among which the most noble identity is the Yu family, that is, the mother of Liu Sheng, the eldest princess of Wuyang, and also the biological mother of Liu Bing, Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of this Yu family, many people are embarrassed and lamenting the unfair fate.

In the third year of Yongjian (128 years), the Yu family was elected to the court together with Liang Yan's aunt and nephew as the son of a good family, and later gave birth to a daughter Liu Sheng for Emperor Liu Bao of Han Shun. In the third year of Yonghe (138), Liu Sheng was named the eldest princess of Xiuwu (Emperor Han Chong succeeded to the throne as the eldest princess of Wuyang). In the second year of Han An (143), the Yu family gave birth to an only son, Liu Bing, for Emperor Shun of Han.

In the first year of Jiankang (144), Emperor Shun of Han appointed Liu Bing as the crown prince. On the sixth day of August of the same year, Emperor Shun of Han died, and Liu Bing, the two-year-old crown prince of the Yu family, became the emperor and was Emperor Chong of Han. After Emperor Han Chong ascended the throne, he honored Liang Yan, the empress of Emperor Shun of Han, as the empress dowager, and Liang Yan was regent in the court.

After Liang Yan's elder brother Liang Ji was good at government and hated other families, and because Emperor Han Shun did not give the Yu family a knighthood, and Emperor Han Chong died early, so the Yu family has been suppressed and has not been able to advance, but is just called "everyone" by people.

Since the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's mother has not been disrespected, and the Yu family can be regarded as breaking the precedent. Although she didn't have a title, everyone didn't dare to despise her, and Zhuo Taijun welcomed her into the house according to the highest etiquette.

When everyone saw each other, Zhuo Taijun first invited everyone into the side hall to sit and rest.

In the past few days, the Panxiang Hou Mansion has also changed greatly, in order to receive good guests, many tables, chairs and benches have been replaced in the house.

It was the first time for everyone to see the circle chair, and at this time, she kept stroking the carvings on both sides of the circle chair with both hands, exclaiming from time to time, and then turned her head and asked Zhuo Taijun, "What is this?" Why I've never seen it before! ”

The most obvious feature of the circle chair is that the circle back is connected to the armrest, which goes down from high to low, and when sitting on it, the person's arms are leaning on the circle-shaped armrest, which makes it feel very comfortable, so people who have sat once immediately like this feeling.

Zhuo Taijun said with a smile: "This is called a nursing chair, which has the meaning of caring for the elderly." It is said that my grandson Wu Yong invented it specifically for his grandmother to rest. ”

Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and asked tentatively: "But when the son of Wu Yong is reading today?" ”

"If it's not him, who else can there be!" Zhuo Taijun said with a smile, and then sighed and said: "It's also pitiful, he was recruited into Luoyang by the Son of Heaven at a young age, I thought that he was the descendant of the five-surname family after all, so I sent someone to take him into the Houhou Mansion to live, and he could be regarded as having a care for him every day." ”

Everyone Yu praised: "You are still kind-hearted, and it can be regarded as unparalleled luck for him to meet an elder like you!" ”

"Haha, you can't say that, it's all our grandparents and grandchildren. Since he lived in the house, the house has suddenly become much more lively. Zhuo Taijun laughed heartily, and then sighed: "This person is old, so I hope that the family can be more lively." ”

This sentence immediately resonated with everyone Yu, and she said with some envy: "You are now a house full of children and grandchildren, and I don't know how many people envy you." ”

Zhuo Taijun smiled and said nothing, she is quite satisfied with the current state of life, although the family is in the middle of the road, but the filial piety of children and grandchildren is more important than anything else.

At this time, the maidservants happened to serve tea on the table, and Zhuo Taijun personally poured a full cup for everyone Yu, and then said with a smile: "Come and taste this tea, this is Wu Yong took a lot of effort to make it, and it is said to be an immortal drink in Taixu." ”

"Oh, and that said, then I'm going to have to try it!" After everyone Yu finished speaking, he picked up a teacup, took a sip, and tasted it carefully.

After a long time, after a cup of tea, everyone Yu sighed: "This tea is worthy of being an immortal drink, it is really wonderful, it is bitter at first, and it is even a little difficult to accept." But after the second sip, it is sweet and sweet, and there is also the aroma of tea, and the aftertaste is endless. ”

After speaking, she looked at Zhuo Taijun again and pleaded: "I didn't expect that it is the same tea, this tea soup is so different from the immortal drink, and it will definitely be difficult to swallow if I let me drink tea soup in the future." Today, I will ask you, the old birthday star, with a thick face, to go back. ”

"Since everyone Yu has spoken, how dare the old body refuse, you can rest assured that if you lack this drink in the future, even if you send someone to get it, the door of the Hou Mansion will be open for you at any time."

As he spoke, Zhuo Taijun said to everyone in the hall: "If any of you want to drink this drink in the future, just come to the Hou Mansion to get it." ”

When the ladies in the hall heard this, they immediately responded in an uproar.

"Hehe, thank you Zhuo Taijun for your kindness, I won't refuse."

"This tea is so appetizing to me, I was still thinking about how to ask Mrs. Tai for it, but I didn't expect your old man to open his mouth."

"The old lady is righteous, how can we take it in vain, we should return the heavy courtesy, and I hope that our two families can have more contacts in the future!"

……

Everyone here looked at everyone's reactions, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I heard that this Wu Yong is only twelve years old this year, but he can do so many eye-catching things, I really want to see him now!" ”

Zhuo Taijun said with a smile: "I didn't expect so many guests to come today, he followed Zhu Yuan to pick up people and entertain guests at the side of the Houhou Mansion." When the party is over, I'll send someone to call him over! ”

"Haha, it's the first time in so many years that I'm looking forward to seeing a junior so much!" Everyone Yu laughed.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and most of the topics during the period revolved around Wu Yong.

At this time, Chunxiang came over and asked, "Mrs. Qiyu, someone from the kitchen said that the dishes were ready, and asked if the banquet would be held?" ”

"Go tell them to open now!" Zhuo Taijun commanded, and said to everyone Yu with a smile: "All the food today is learned by Wu Yong from the Taixu Fairyland, and I don't know how it tastes!" ”

"Is it too empty to eat? You have to savor it carefully! "Everyone Yu immediately became interested.

So the group came to the banquet hall to worship their birthdays and sit down. Everyone was humble for a long time before taking a seat. Because it was the first time for everyone to sit on a table and chair to eat, and they didn't know what the rules were, Zhuo Taijun let everyone sit at will.

When the people heard the novelty, they found acquaintances to form a table of eight people, and the adults were free, and the children and girls were served by the maidservants who accompanied them.

Zhuo Taijun's banquet and the six princesses, Chunxiang and other maidservants stood behind Zhuo Taijun, and there were other maidservants waiting to serve food and wine, and there were many maidservants waiting at the door to call.

In a moment, a servant girl began to serve all kinds of dishes one by one, and there were endless exclamations all around.

These dishes are an eye-opener for many female relatives who came to participate in the birthday banquet, although they are relatives of the emperor and people in the waiting house, they are accustomed to seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas on weekdays, but every dish today is something they have never heard of and never seen.

"Is this too empty to eat, it's so delicious!"

"I've decided, I'll let the cook in the house learn to cook this too empty food when I go back!"

"Hehe, it's really worth the trip, this little lady must have a full meal today!"

……

At Zhuo Taijun's table, several princesses were also shocked by the food in front of them. Every time the maidservants brought the dish in front of them, they carefully tasted it, for fear that they would make a joke because of the deliciousness.

Chunxiang even took the recipe, and explained the method and eating method for Zhuo Taijun and others for each dish.

After all, everyone Yu has lived in the palace for many years, and although they are surprised that these dishes are exquisitely made, they are only a superficial taste.

When he was young, the dishes had been offered four times, and the soup began to be one, and this feast also came to an end. Zhuo Taijun instructed the maidservants to remove the dishes and chopsticks from the table and offer tea and snacks. At the same time, he asked people to invite Zhao Bo and Ah Qing to perform shadow puppets for everyone.

After a while, Zhao Bo and Ah Qing entered the living room with their bags, and a sturdy woman helped build the stage, and another maid pulled up the curtains to block the light outside.

While speaking, a maidservant girl closed the door, the hall began to dim, and Zhao Bo and A Qing also began rehearsals, first playing "The Legend of the White Snake", and then "Tianxian Pei".

Everyone was immersed in the ups and downs of the plot, until the maidservants opened the curtains and opened the door, only to find that the sky outside had unconsciously reached evening.

At this time, everyone also woke up and began to find acquaintances to talk about their feelings at the moment.

"Is this the recent "Legend of the White Snake" in Luoyang? Bai Suzhen is so infatuated, she is desperate for the pursuit of love, and she is really a model for women like us. ”

"I like to watch "Tianxian Pei" so much, when can I find a Langjun like Dong Yong!"

"This is a shadow puppet show, what was rehearsed before, the plot is too boring, and it makes people drowsy after watching it for a while."

……

After reading this, everyone Yu was a little sentimental on their faces, and asked Zhuo Taijun quietly: "Are these really written by Wu Yong?" ”

"It's definitely not wrong, these are all written by him to relieve the boredom of his sisters, and that Zhao Opera Master is also a clear proof, all the scenes are rehearsed by him." Zhuo Taijun replied.

Everyone Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this case, ask someone to invite you." I didn't see this little Langjun today, and I was a little unwilling. ”

"Go and call Wu Yong!" Zhuo Taijun turned around and ordered Chunxiang.

Chunxiang agreed, and when she came to Wu Yong's side, she saw that he was watching a hundred opera performances with Yuan Shao and others, so she pulled him away.

Wu Yong came to the hall with Chunxiang, and when the afterglow swept by, he didn't squint, walked straight to Zhuo Taijun, and said, "Grandmother, why did you call the boy." ”

"Can't I call you to see me if it's okay?" Zhuo Taijun scolded with a smile, then pointed to the Yu family around him, and said, "It's this one who wants to see you!" ”

"I've seen a nobleman!" Wu Yong hurriedly saluted. At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Zhu Yuan introduced him to everyone in Yu.

"It's really good!" Everyone Yu smiled.

After speaking, he pointed to the other people on the table: "These princesses must not need me to introduce them!" ”

Wu Yong immediately saluted and said, "I've seen your Royal Highnesses the princess!" ”

The three princesses of Emperor Shun had a good impression of Wu Yong and praised them one after another. Although the three princesses of Emperor Heng had a holiday with Wu Yong earlier, after many things happened today, their impression of Wu Yong has also changed greatly, and they also greet him with a smile.

Next, Zhuo Taijun introduced him to the ladies in the hall. There are also people who have seen them, but most of them have never seen them, and they all praise them in unison.

After some introduction, Wu Yong returned to his original position. At this time, everyone Yu also smiled and said: "Come over and let me take a closer look, your Zhuo family grandmother praised you to the sky, and those who don't know think that you are a heavenly immortal." ”

When Wu Yong got closer, he asked some things about studying in the palace, and then praised: "You have such a talent and insight at a young age, no wonder you can be a servant of the Son of Heaven." ”

As he spoke, everyone Yu took out a piece of jade pendant from his body and handed it to Wu Yongdao: "This piece of jade was given to me by the first emperor when he was alive, and I will give it to you today, I hope you can make more contributions to the Jiangshan Society of the Han Dynasty in the future." ”
