Chapter 516: Where to Spend Chinese New Year's Eve?
"Then let the Lord of the Prison Country hold a state banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve on behalf of the princess and minister."
Jun Lingyun said lightly, such an important first-class minister of the prison country can't be put as an ornament, and people should make the best use of it.
Chu Yunxi's lips opened slightly, and after a while, she said:
"Is that really possible?"
Historically, there has been no such precedent. The ministers even regarded it as an honor to be able to enter the palace and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the emperor.
Their Chu family, will they be too ostentatious?
Jun Lingyun looked at Father-in-law Fu, and Father-in-law Fu hurriedly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?"
"I once said in front of the courtiers that I would personally teach the prison state, and I couldn't break my word. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, it was handed over to the superintendent to preside over the royal Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet. ”
Jun Lingyun had an expression of wanting to entrust Jun Zifeng with a heavy responsibility.
"Let him be sure to entertain the emperor's relatives and relatives, and a group of ministers. I and the queen will not be involved. So that the people of the prison country can exercise and exercise. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Gonggong Fu received the order, he listened to Jun Lingyun and the imperial order.
"In addition, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner between Shu and the empress was handed over to the General Chu's Mansion to undertake. You go and spread the word to your father-in-law, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law are tired, so you can prepare a few more bites of food. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Father-in-law Fu was just about to leave, but Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand and beckoned him back:
"General Chu's Mansion, since you are hosting the New Year Festival between me and the queen, you can't let your father-in-law and mother-in-law be tired and break the bank. Ordered to go down, and I and the queen will send everything they need to General Chu's mansion. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will do it."
Gonggong Fu retreated with a smile, and the emperor of the heart said, sure enough, he had eight hundred hearts.
It is clearly a gift, and it is like how tired the General Chu Mansion has been and how much it has suffered.
Chu Yunxi knew that it didn't seem right to do this, but he was happy in his heart. She really, can go back home and celebrate the New Year with the whole family.
Jun Lingyun puffed up his chest and enjoyed his wife's grateful and adoring eyes.
In General Chu's Mansion, Mrs. Chu was chatting with General Chu:
"The children have all started a family, and this year is the most lively year in our house. It's a pity that the whole family is reunited, but Xi'er is missing. ”
Even Brother Sikong, she sent someone to deliver an invitation, but she couldn't invite her daughter home. Mrs. Chu was disappointed.
The feeling of being able to see each other on weekdays and reuniting with the New Year is always different. It's really every festive season.
"Don't think so, madam, we'll be able to see Xi'er in a few years.
The emperor is already impeccable to our Chu family and Xi'er. We must not say that again.
I believe that in the palace, Xi'er will be able to have a good year with the company of the emperor. ”
Mrs. Chu nodded with red eyes, she understood the reason.
She just thought that the whole family was neat and tidy, but Xi'er was not there, so she was sad for a while.
"Master, madam, the emperor's side of the Fu Gonggong is here."
The little guy ran in to report, General Chu and Mrs. Chu hurriedly got up, looked at each other, and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Why did Grandpa Fu come? Could it be that the emperor has some will to give it to the Chu family?
The two hurriedly greeted the courtyard and greeted Father-in-law Fu.
"Father-in-law Fu. Why don't you come in person, please come inside. ”
Fu Gonggong arched his hand:
"General Chu, Mrs. Chu, tomorrow, the emperor and the queen will come to the General's Mansion for the New Year. The special old slave came to pass the word, and hoped that General Chu and Mrs. Chu would not be too troublesome. ”
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she was almost overjoyed and cried.
She really made her wish come true, and Fang also regretted that her daughter couldn't return home, and the good news came immediately.
General Chu cautiously asked Gonggong Fu:
"Father-in-law Fu, the emperor and the queen, don't you have to preside over the royal palace banquet? The emperor and queen came to our Chu Mansion for the New Year, such a great glory, we may be able to afford it? ”
Only then did Mrs. Chu come back from surprise and turn worried.
Yes, the emperor came to their courtier's mansion for the New Year, how should the other ministers feel?
Mrs. Chu still understands the truth of the tree's big move.
But Father-in-law Fu replied loudly:
"General Chu, the emperor knows that preparing for the New Year Festival is really cumbersome and tiring, and it disturbs the general's mansion. I specially asked our family to prepare a New Year's gift to compensate, and General Chu should not shirk it anymore. ”
General Chu's eyes widened, the emperor was shameless, ah no, no, how could the emperor be shameless? The emperor's wisdom and wisdom, he can be regarded as having seen it.
This is to make him cheap and good! General Chu got off the donkey down the slope and hurriedly responded:
"The minister receives the order, and the minister will share the worries of the emperor and the queen. Even if the emperor arranges for more people to come, as long as the minister's general's mansion can sit down, the minister will receive him well and live up to the emperor's trust. ”
Father-in-law Fu had a smile on his face, and he was already sighing in his heart:
Sure enough, it's not a family, and it's not a family. General Chu is really, just a little bit clear, very interesting!
"Bring it in!"
Father-in-law Fu gave an order. In General Chu's mansion, it immediately became lively.
"Cluck, quack, quack, hum, hum......"
General Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at the chickens, ducks and rabbits jumping around in the cage, as well as the wild boars that were tied with hooves and carried in, and the live fish brought in with water in a clay basin. For a moment it was dazzling.
After Mrs. Chu was stunned, she hurriedly ordered her subordinates.
"Come, quickly put these rewards in the stove."
"Yes, ma'am."
The fruits, vegetables, and wine, which were following behind the living creatures, followed them to the stove room.
The next thing that came in was a set of exquisite utensils.
A set of glazed tea cups, a set of white jade wine cups, a set of red gold tableware, and a set of blue and white porcelain vases......
Father-in-law Fu beckoned people to send them in.
General Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at a set of valuables, moved into their general's mansion like flowing water, and glanced at each other.
Is this sure that the emperor is just here for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not for a small stay?
"You guys be careful, this is a good rosewood table, don't bump it. And that screen......"
Gonggong Fu turned around and asked Mrs. Chu.
"Mrs. Chu, where these things are to be placed, you just have to command. The old slave of the province is gone, and you are busy again. ”
Mrs. Chu looked at General Chu, so call the people in the palace, okay?
General Chu nodded, since Gonggong Fu said so, it must be the emperor's signal. They didn't have to excuse themselves, he didn't want to be tired of his wife.
Mrs. Chu smiled at Gonggong Fu at this time:
"That's it, then there's Lao Fu's father-in-law, let people put things in the front hall."
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is to be eaten in the front hall, and if it is in place, there is no need to move it twice.
"You all listen to Mrs. Chu's command, let you put it wherever you want."
"Yes!"
Father-in-law Fu gave an order, and the entourage obeyed the order. Not only carried things to the front hall, but also put them in place in one step.
The liveliness of the Chu family attracted a lot of onlookers. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, whether it is the imperial court or the academy, everywhere has been closed.
Once people are free, they prefer to watch the excitement. No, it's going to be discussed again.
