Early in the morning, Xu Yuyao stayed in the kitchen and began to get busy, the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi, legend has it that when the ancestor was a child, the family was poor, often hungry, his friend originally every time he went to the school to secretly bring some food from home to the ancestor, the original family was not rich, afraid of the elders scolding, he had to pick the leaves in front of the house every time to wrap the rice and hide it in the school bag, when it was time to break the class, he took it out and made a fire by the river behind the school hall to cook it in the pot to eat.

In the memory of the Holy Ancestor, after the glutinous rice wrapped in leaves is cooked, it is the best delicacy, and occasionally they will pick fruits from the mountains and wrap them in the leaves together.

Many years later, the nine saints listened to the story of the Holy Ancestor, in the first year of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone personally wrapped a zongzi for their teacher, according to the memoirs of Emperor Gaozu, it was the first time in Gaozu's life, I saw the tears of the Holy Ancestor, that is, that one tear, so that the nine saints who were sincerely afraid on weekdays suddenly found that their teachers were not as unattainable as they imagined, he was also a person, he would also be sad, who said that ruthlessness is invincible, and the Holy Ancestor who was moved to tears by a small zongzi was not invincible in people's hearts。

For thousands of years since then, the custom of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival has spread to all races, and even today's ethnic groups in the Eastern Continent, and they also regard this day as a festival.

"Try it, it's stuffed with diced meat and red beans. When Liu Chen's morning exercise was finished, Xu Yuyao brought a towel to help him wipe the water stains on his back, and pointed to a plate of steaming zongzi on the table, while smiling: "People have been busy all morning, eat quickly, wait until I go to the library, I have to go back to accompany my father." ”

"I may not come back tonight, you just stay in the Hou Mansion to accompany your father, anyway, there are no classes in the past few days. Liu Chen walked to the table, picked up a slightly hot zongzi, and carefully peeled off the zongzi leaves, the fragrance was refreshing, making his index finger move, and without waiting for Xu Yuyao to serve the table, he began to eat by himself.

"Where are you going to fool around?" Xu Yuyao raised her eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but Liu Chen waved his hand to interrupt her: "A few robes from the Muzi Battalion came to the imperial capital to report on their work, let's talk about getting together together, we may have to drink today, and we will live in the military camp outside the city at night." ”

Anyway, the suffering little monk went to the Jin State Mansion and would not come back for a while, Liu Chen naturally opened his eyes and said nonsense, the imperial capital is so big, and the sea outside the city is even bigger, it is impossible for Xu Yuyao to go to any military camp to find him.

"Drink less wine, our father also knows about our affairs, I was going to let you meet with my father during the Dragon Boat Festival, if you are busy, next time, anyway, Beizhen Fusi is close to here." ”

"I want to meet and go to your house, I won't go to Beizhen Fusi!"

"Why? My father is in Beizhen Fusi every day, and you know that the emperor has not been peaceful recently, so where does my father have so much time to stay at home. ”

"I'm not a prisoner, what did I do when I went to Fusi in Beizhen, people don't know and think that I did something that lost my conscience, and I was invited to drink tea by Langyawei. ”

"Giggles, you kidnapped the daughter of the champion Hou, shouldn't Langyawei invite you to drink tea?" Xu Yuyao saw that Liu Chen ate most of the plates of zongzi one by one, she was a little happy in her heart, she was so busy with all her hard work, as long as he liked it, it was worth it.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, Lao Tzu has soldiers under him, no matter how powerful your Langya guard is, dare to try it in the wooden word camp. ”

"Yes, yes, General Liu is the leader of the troops, and people are so afraid. ”

After breakfast, Liu Chen felt that his abdomen was a little supported, not to mention, the zongzi made by Xu Yuyao was really good, and finally waited until she went out, Liu Chen packed up his bags, and left the academy with Wu Tong one after another.

At noon, Wuyi Lane has long been full of traffic, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the civil and military officials are resting, the cars and horses who come to visit in Wuyi Lane are almost crowded with this street, and the habit of coming and going during the New Year's festival is really valued by the human race.

Liu Shayun, dressed in green clothes, stood under the archway at the end of the alley, watching a carriage come out of the Cangguo Mansion from a distance, swaying past him, he squinted, staring at the wheel of the car without blinking, the wheels wrapped in copper skin rubbed on the ground with a crisp sound, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop in front of the door of the Champion Hou's Mansion.

The crowd in front of the door saw the car of the Duke of Cangguo, and immediately cleared a road independently, and those who were originally a little impatient because of the entertainment of the Hou Mansion waited until the carriage drove to the gate, the moment the Duke of Cangguo Liu Zhi got off the car, everyone's faces immediately became a flattering look, and without waiting for the spread, the gate of the Hou Mansion slowly opened in the earth-shaking gongs and drums.

Liu Zhi, who was about to step into the Hou Mansion on the steps, paused slightly, turned his face to look at Liu Shayun in the distance, and saw Liu Shayun smiling, Liu Zhi nodded lightly and walked into the Hou Mansion.

When Liu Zhi disappeared, Liu Shayun turned around and walked towards the Cangguo Mansion, where Liu Fengfeng was already waiting for him.

"What do you need me to do?" Seeing Liu Shayun appear, Liu Jingfeng opened his slightly closed eyes, and said with no expression on his face: "No matter what, I hope you can guarantee your own safety and Yi'er's safety." ”

"It's time for you to go back to Cangzhou!" Liu Shayun didn't answer his words, but just found a chair and sat down at random, picked up a fruit and played with it.

"More than 20 years ago, I went back first, and as a result, the second child embarked on a road of no return, ten years ago, I hesitated a little, and almost let my own nephew fall into a place of no return, now, I only have one brother from you, Yi'er is finally found, Lao Jiu is also in the center of the storm in the imperial capital, you let me go back now, can I go back?"

Liu Jingfeng's tone was very light, these past events that hurt the bone marrow in his heart, so simple to say, just like chatting about homely things, Liu Shaoyun looked sideways at his slightly old eldest brother, although he is a holy lord and is the spiritual belief in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in Cangzhou, but at this moment, he also seems so helpless, those pains, perhaps no one can feel it more clearly than him.

"Do me a favor then. After thinking for a while, Liu Shayun sighed lightly, compared to Liu Qing, his temperament is more quiet, and it is impossible to be ruthless to say something serious to his eldest brother, his parents have been missing for many years, and the second uncle died of illness more than 20 years ago, there is no elder in the family who can handle things, his eldest brother carried the banner of the Liu family early, and raised his brothers and sisters to grow up, when Liu Qing died, the eldest brother fought for his life, was angry, and even crazy, when Liu Zhi took over, the eldest brother was even more disagreeable, and personally helped the youngest cousin on the horse, and led him to the throne of the national prince。 Those past events that made the Liu family ashamed were all pressed on Liu Jingfeng, he didn't complain, and he didn't justify, the eldest brother is like a father, but that's it.

"Okay!" Liu Shayun's refusal made Liu Jingfeng feel good, and there was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, but when he saw the gray of his third brother's two temples, the smile that had just risen suddenly became a little stiff, and he remembered the autumn of the eighteenth year of Longqing, that Liu Qing, who was so young that he was a little unseen, "If he is still alive, maybe he will be old." ”

As if knowing what Liu Jingfeng was thinking, Liu Shayun put down the fruit and stood up, walked behind Liu Jingfeng, reached out and pressed his shoulder, kneading it gently, wanting him to relax, "Big brother, help me go to the palace, you haven't seen Your Majesty for many years, he owes you, I should give you an explanation, today is a festival, and there is no one left at home, it's better to let him treat you to a meal of newly wrapped zongzi in the imperial dining room!"
