Chapter 440: Father and Son (2)
Beihai King drank cup after cup, and drank heartily.
Xu Jing really didn't know how much his father drank, and he was a little worried at first. Later, when he saw that the king of Beihai was sober as usual, he was relieved, and he and a few cousins pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank happily.
Emperor Yongming and the crown prince have been buried, and Xu Jing, the new emperor, has also ascended the throne. It is not advisable to drink alcohol on important occasions, but it is okay to drink some in private.
Xu Jing hadn't smelled wine for half a year, and tonight the wine was in his throat, which was particularly pleasant.
The wine came up, and everyone spoke more and more casually.
"Cousin, I'll go back to Xihe County tomorrow." The King of Xihe grabbed the arm of the King of the North Sea and chattered: "Our brothers are far away, and the next time we meet, I don't know what year or month, maybe we will only have the opportunity to meet on the Huangquan Road."
The King of the North Sea smiled: "When people are old, they all have the day when they close their eyes and go west. While you live, live well!"
The King of the West River sighed, "We are all old, and it is a good day to live one more day. The only thing I can't reassure about is this bastard thing."
No need to ask, this bastard is the prince of the king of Xihe.
"The sons are all creditors of Lao Tzu in his previous life, and Lao Tzu has been worried about him all his life." The King of Xihe confided in his heart through the strength of wine: "He has a high spirit, and he has to compete with Chunsheng for the throne. At the time, I said he was delusional. But he has a temper tantrum, and I can't stop him."
"Now Chunsheng has sat on the dragon chair and let him go to the Zongren Mansion on an errand. I told him that he must do a good job as an errand and share his worries for the emperor. You must not be instigated to do anything that you shouldn't do."
"I'm just a son like him. I don't want him to make a big difference, I just hope that he can live in peace. In a few years, I will have an heir and pass on the lineage of the King of the West River."
The King of the North Sea smashed his mouth, tasted the mellow aroma of the wine in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "No one can say what will happen in the future. Don't worry about it all the time. The children are grown up, they have their own opinions, and they have their own way of doing things. We two old things, both go back to the domain. Here in the capital, let them toss it."
This old slippery head doesn't give an accurate word.
King Xihe scolded in his heart, and a smile on his face was piled up: "What my cousin said is true. It's my narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness. Come on, come on, drink."
When the king of Pengcheng and the king of Hanyang saw that the king of Xihe had hit a wall, they each weighed themselves, so they stopped interceding.
Forget it, let's go back and tell my son, be careful and keep your head down!
Drink until the king of Xihe, the king of Pengcheng, and the king of Hanyang are drunk and lie down, and the banquet is dispersed.
Xu Jing also drank a lot, stretched out his hand to support the King of Beihai, and kept reminding, "Father, slow down."
The King of Beihai still has a clear gaze, walking like a fly, walking faster than Xu Jing! Xu Jing had to speed up his pace,
helped the King of Beihai all the way into the mansion.
"It's so late, don't disturb your mother's sleep, go to the study." The King of the North Sea turned around and went to the study.
Xu Jing smiled and boasted casually: "My father and my mother have been married for decades, and they have always been so affectionate."
The king of Beihai raised his eyebrows, smiled smugly, and taught his son his experience: "A manly man, he has made great achievements abroad, and he has to love his daughter-in-law and children at home. Those who are domineering and domineering at home are fools. Your daughter-in-law is of the same mind as you, and she will manage the inner house for your children, how can you be kind to your daughter-in-law."
Xu Jing nodded in agreement: "Father's words are right."
The father and son entered the study, lit the candlestick, and Xu Jing poured a cup of tea and sent it to the King of Beihai: "Father, please drink tea."
The King of the North Sea took a sip of tea with satisfaction, and continued to teach himself the secret of decades of family harmony: "When your mother was young, she was notoriously hot-tempered. After I marry her and enter the door, everything will go smoothly, and she will be in a good mood, and she will not make a fuss."
Xu Jing smiled smugly: "Sister Yue'er is not such a fiery temper. She's much calmer than I am."
The King of the North Sea smiled and glanced at his son, "The more this happens, the harder it is to start a temper. Forget it, I will take care of your own affairs, and I will not care. I told your mother, we'll leave the day after tomorrow. When we're gone, you two will live a good life with little fruit and little flowers."
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Why are you in such a hurry the day after tomorrow? Let's stay a little longer!"
The King of the North Sea smiled: "Don't stay! We've been living in the capital for more than three months, and it's time to go back."
"Chunsheng, you are now an adult, you have a wife and children, and you have become the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. In the future, you will be a good husband and father, and you will also be a good emperor."
"Father can't help you with anything, at least not to be your stumbling block."
Under the bright candlelight, the slightly old face of the King of the North Sea was full of the pride and love of being a father.
Xu Jing's nose suddenly became sour, and tears almost burst out of his eyes: "Father!"
The King of the North Sea seems to be sober, but he is actually drunk. However, when he is drunk, he doesn't mess around with alcohol, nor does he fall asleep, and he looks at the same as usual, but he talks endlessly: "Such a big person, you can't cry like when you were a child."
"Actually, my father can't bear you. However, it is a great blessing that you can inherit the throne in a timely manner. The sooner I leave, the sooner the Queen Mother and the courtiers can rest assured."
"The Zhou family, the Zhu family, and the Zhao family are all in-laws, and they have made great efforts for your throne, don't treat them badly. Give them all a promotion to an official position. Let them be errands with their hearts, and make you cattle and horses."
Xu Jing: "......"
It turns out that my father looked like this when he was drunk!
Xu Jing couldn't help but smile and nodded, "I have written down everything my father said."
The King of the North Sea was very pleased, and continued to instruct, "Your father-in-law is a talented man, but his luck is a little worse. When he was young, he robbed his daughter-in-law and was kicked out of the capital. Otherwise, with his talents, he should have been a waiter a long time ago. Now that you have the throne, he can also return to the capital to be an official in a dignified manner. In the future, you will consult your father-in-law in everything." netIt turns out that my father is cooking dumplings in a teapot, and everything is clear!
Xu Jing couldn't help laughing, and nodded seriously.
The king of Beihai suddenly stopped talking, and looked at his son seriously.
"Why does my father keep staring at me, it's because I've changed my appearance from before." Xu Jing smiled.
The king of Beihai said: "Our father and son are separated, and we don't know when we will be able to meet in the future. I'm going to look at you a few more times now."
Xu Jing's heart was sour when he heard this, and tears were about to come out.
The King of the North Sea was already happy: "Don't cry, don't cry, you are also a father, what do you look like when you cry your nose." Your father is so angry, my father's heart is happy, and you walk straighter than others."
"Chunsheng, you must be diligent in political affairs, cherish the people, and be a wise man. Father is silently watching you in Beihai County and supporting you."
Xu Jing's eyes were red and he nodded solemnly.
