Chapter 32: Night Talk Bashan

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine stayed at my grandfather's house for a few years when she was young, and then followed them around, and the food of the southerners was spicy, so I developed this habit."

"I see."

The emperor ate quickly and a lot, and in a short time most of these meals were served.

You could tell he was really hungry.

Lin Wanyi was full of food, and it was not good to rest the chopsticks, so she took the chopsticks in Dong Yuzhong's hand and gave the emperor vegetables.

To say that this cloth dish is also a cloth dish is exquisite.

You have to twist everything a little, but you have to take into account the emperor's taste and choose what he likes to eat.

After eating this meal, Lin Wanyi found it difficult to say what he liked and disliked.

is really the emperor of the world, and even the meals are so balanced.

After eating, the emperor got up and walked away.

Feeling a little strong, I summoned Dong Yuzhong and planned to go out for a walk.

Dong Yuzhong looked embarrassed, pointed to the outside and said.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy outside, and the minions are afraid that it is going to rain. This spring rain is endless, and it will be difficult to stop when it falls, so for the sake of His Majesty's holy body, it is better not to go out. ”

Although he went against the emperor's wishes, Dong Yuzhong was also kind.

Lin Wanyi saw that the emperor's face was a little wrong, and he seemed to want to go out again, but he felt that he couldn't get off the stage.

So he opened his mouth to relieve Dong Yuzhong.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the night rain in Bashan?"

Emperor Yu Wenhong looked at her puzzled.

Isn't this the phrase in "Night Rain Sending North"? What's wrong? ”

"When the concubine was at home, a lot of plantains were planted in the backyard, so every time it rained at night, my parents would take a few of our brothers and sisters to listen to the rain fall in the house, and the family would sit around and talk, which was also very interesting."

"Say what?"

"Say everything, sometimes I talk about the anecdotes that my eldest brother heard in the community, sometimes I talk about the meeting between my father and mother when I was young, or I say that the concubine traveled with my grandfather's family, and there are always endless words to say about the family."

Lin Wanyi mentioned her family, and her eyes became much gentler.

Yu Wenhong could see that the relationship between their family was good.

His eyelids drooped and he didn't say a word.

It's a pity that this kind of warm family atmosphere is what he wants.

Born in the royal family, he is destined to be indifferent to family affection.

Lin Wan saw that the emperor would not reply again, and then looked up, but saw that his face was not very good.

Could it be that I said the wrong thing somewhere?

was worried, so I heard the emperor say lightly.

"Tell me about your travels in the South."

The voice was far away, but he couldn't hear any emotion, at this moment, Lin Wanyi seemed to see a different emperor.

There is no superiority, no majesty, full of loneliness and loneliness.

Lin Wanyi sat quietly on the edge of the collapse, thought about it, and picked an interesting topic to tell the story.

"The family of the concubine's maternal grandfather is a merchant family who has accumulated many years, and since the ancestors have been doing business in the streets and alleys, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have all been great-grandfather's generation, and the family migrated from Lingzhou to Shengjing City, and then they settled down."

"My grandfather has been following my great-great-grandfather in all kinds of business since he was a child, so he knows a lot about business. One year, my second uncle was going to Yaozhou to collect medicine, and it happened that my grandfather was also going to buy medicine, so my grandmother and I went with them. ”

"Most of Yaozhou are local Yao people, and few Central Plains people are seen, so as soon as we entered the border of Yaozhou, we changed into their clothes, and when we talked to strangers, we also used Yao language."

"My grandfather said that if he wanted to eat other people's food, he naturally had to collect firewood to make other people's pots. I thought it was some kind of local slang, but my grandfather actually took us to buy a cart of firewood and went to the local village to find an elder to eat. ”

"When I saw the cart of firewood, I was very curious, and then I entered the old man's house and realized that this was really the local rule. After a lively meal, my grandfather handed over the list of things to be purchased, and my second uncle told me that everyone thought that doing business with Yaomin was the most difficult, but they were actually the simplest and kindest. ”

Lin Wanyi's words made Emperor Yu Wenhong fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he asked.

"So why do those Yao people want firewood?"

"Because those Yao people are actually people of the Huo Yao tribe, they have believed in the god of fire for generations, and they came with firewood, that is the messenger of the god of fire, they naturally sweep the couch to greet each other, and if they want to do things, they will do their best to help."

The Emperor was amazed, and his eyes revealed disbelief.

"How can there be such a thing?"

"Yes, the concubine also thought it was incredible when she heard it at first."

"Then how did your grandfather know about this?"

Lin Wanyi covered her mouth and snickered, this is her grandfather's big secret.

So he moved his mind and deliberately teased the emperor.

"Does Your Majesty want to know the truth or do you want to know the outside world?"

"What about the outside world? Really? ”

"Naturally, my grandfather's family has been in business for many years, and there are many ways to do it. As for that...... really"

Lin Wanyi deliberately dragged out his voice for a long time, which whetted the emperor's appetite, and saw that he was a little anxious, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"When my grandfather was young, he was favored by a girl from the Huo Yao clan, and he was almost asked to be a son-in-law, so he naturally knew some rules of the Huo clan."

After hearing this, Yu Wenhong also chuckled.

I don't know if it was because she "choreographed" her maternal grandfather, and that sly expression reminded him of some of his teenage past.

He also had some happy times before he ascended the throne.

If the emperor loves him as a treasure in his hand, even if the court is busy, he will accompany him to laugh and play.

It's a pity that these have become memories with the death of the former emperor who is seriously ill, and then there is the helplessness and pain of being forced to grow up since he ascended the throne.

There are always people in his ears reminding him how to be an emperor who will go down in history, but no one cares anymore that he is still a handsome young man.

The night was heavy and dewy, and as Dong Yuzhong said, it soon began to rain.

The spring rain is like oil, and it hangs down from the sky like a beaded curtain.

It hit the ground, splashing one small puddle after another, and the branches in the courtyard were also pounded on the ground.

The candle flame casts the shadows of the two on the open window, one listens carefully, and the other speaks interestingly.

From time to time, there will be some laughter, not loud, but it is very relaxing to listen to.

Dong Yuzhong stood outside the door, holding the dust he had used for many years in his hand, and also closed his eyes to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Qiu Ming, who was on the side, walked over, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help asking.
