Chapter 178: Ancestor Worship

Yun Xi waited until Lao Zhu was seated, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, wait for your time." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm already hungry. ”

Lao Zhu said: "Who told you not to set up a banquet in the Qianqing Palace, but in another palace." Look, I'm hungry. Zhu Song and others also made fun of it.

Xi Yao came over to say hello at this time. Lao Zhu immediately stopped joking with Yun Xi, asked Su Huaien to help her up, and said, "You are already nine months old, what are you doing with this big gift!" Get plenty of rest. ”

Xi Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang has already exempted me from the monthly provincial designation, and His Royal Highness will not let me take care of the major affairs of the Wenhua Palace, and I have rested a lot, so it will not hinder me to bow once." ”

But Lao Zhu still said: "Come in quickly, I don't need you to serve here." Xi Yao also knew that Lao Zhu would definitely not let him serve on the side, so he said a few more words and went back.

Yun Ying also came up to salute. Lao Zhu because she was also pregnant, although the days were only five months, she also said: "You also have a body, don't stay at home longer, what are you doing in the palace!" You are doing well, and you are the greatest filial piety to me. ”

Yun Ying smiled: "Grandpa, it's okay, I don't eat much." And all the way by car, but I walked in from the Wenhua Gate, and it was fine. Then Yun Ying returned to her seat.

Then the meal was officially opened. But just as the meal was served, a man ran in from the door, panting and said, "I'm late." When everyone saw it, it was Zhu Yi, the twenty-fifth king of Yi.

Lao Zhu frowned and said: "I used to be better when I was in the palace, but since I let you go out to live in the palace at the beginning of this year, I have become more and more unpresentable, like a live monkey, restless all day long." Ying Tianfu has already told me a few times about you bullying the people. ”

"As a prince, if you don't study well all day long, I should be treating you fiercely! After you go back today, if you dare to bully the people again, see if I don't discount your legs! ”

Zhu Yi didn't dare to talk back, and stood up and agreed. The others were so frightened that they sat in their seats and didn't know what to do. Yun Xi saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, what about today's holiday, what are you waiting to talk about tomorrow." He said to Zhu Yi again: "Twenty-fifth uncle, you also have a soft word with your grandfather." ”

Zhu Yi said: "Father, I know. I don't dare. ”

Yun Xi said again: "Grandpa, on today's happy day of the festival, let the twenty-fifth uncle enter the table." ”

Lao Zhu snorted and did not speak. Yun Xi hurriedly glanced at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi quietly entered the table.

Yun Xi was busy gagging again, and the atmosphere gradually improved. At this time, Zhu Mo, the king of Shen, said: "Yunxi, you are now a poet who is known as the emperor of the past dynasties second only to Wei Wu among the literati, why don't you write a poem today?" ”

Yun Xi suddenly wanted to drag Zhu Mo out and beat him! This poem can be "done" casually! It depends on whether he has it in stock! I wanted to excuse myself, but Lao Zhu listened to Zhu Mo's words on the side, and also said: "Now you are more famous than Chun'er in the literati circle, and the land of Bashu has not been peaceful these years, otherwise he would come to the capital to compete with you." ”

"Since Mo'er has already said it, you can make a poem."

Now that Lao Zhu has spoken, Yun Xi can only secretly reprimand Zhu Mo in his heart, while racking his brains. Lao Zhu also knew that poetry was not easy to do, so he didn't urge it, but just talked to other children and grandchildren.

By the time it was almost over, Yun Xi was about to give up, but at that moment he remembered a poem. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandpa, I'll recite a poem." Immediately the people turned their heads to look at him.

Yun Xi glanced at the already open osmanthus planted by Xi Yao in the Wenhua Palace, and said:

"The Dragon Boat Festival of the Xunfeng Palace, Shen Tanjiao under the blue screen window. The small fan is slightly cool, and the summer days are long.

The savage is very interesting and does not ask Yan Liang. The old garden is good for cultivation, and the osmanthus blooms in May.

The name of the word brand is Bodhisattva, and the name is called the Dragon Boat Festival Song Osmanthus. (Note 1)

Most of the people present have some ability to appreciate poetry and literature. After savoring it carefully, Zhu Song said: "Yunxi, this poem is different from your previous poetry style, it used to be bold, how did this one become a graceful school!" And the standard is also a little worse. ”

Yun Xi said with a smile: "The previous poems and texts were all inspired by feelings, but today's ones are hard to hold, of course, there is a gap in the level." As for the style, the previous ones were all Yongwu generals, or refuted something, but today it is Yong Osmanthus, how can it be the same. ”

The others were right, so they stopped talking.

After a while, the meal was finished, and the people dispersed. Yiwang Zhu Yi also ran away while Lao Zhu was not paying attention. Lao Zhu didn't care about Zhu Yi either, and said to Yun Xi: "You help me go back to the Qianqing Palace." Yun Xi then instructed Wang Bu and them to clean up the mess, and he took Wang Xi to help Lao Zhu go back.

Halfway through, Lao Zhu said: "Last night, I dreamed of my late father, that is, your great-grandfather. ”

Yun Xi didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Lao Zhu continued: "He told me that the money in the underground is not enough to spend, and said that since our family has such a big family business, we should burn more things for him." Then the eldest brother talked to me again, saying that since Wen Zheng is guilty, he will die, and don't treat Shouqian (Wen Zhengzi) badly. This is the first time I have dreamed of big brother. ”

"Then the second brother and the third brother talked to me again. Later, my mother came out to talk to me, and she said, 'Si'er, you should come here too, and you must find someone more reliable to inherit the family business.' The Yunxi you chose is not bad, we are all watching it underground. ’”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu was already full of tears, and Yun Xi hurriedly helped him to rest in the corner tower.

Lao Zhu continued: "Then they said a lot to me, I can't remember it clearly. Then my grandfather came out and talked to me. He said, 'The place you have chosen for your grandfather's new grave is good, so hurry up and fix it.' It's strange that I haven't seen my grandfather, but when I see him, I know it's my grandfather. ”

After saying a lot, Lao Zhu finally turned his head and said, "Yunxi, I want you to go to Fengyang and Sizhou to worship my ancestors on my behalf." My father, grandfather, mother, and brothers all dreamed of it, and if I hadn't died, I would have gone myself. ”

Yun Xi was taken aback. Lao Zhu is likely to have passed away recently, and now he is going to worship his ancestors, what if Lao Zhu dies before he returns. He thought carefully about "Taizu Benji", but he couldn't think of such a thing in history.

Lao Zhu should know what he was thinking, and said: "Yunxi, from here to Fengyang and Sizhou to worship the ancestors, it will be enough for ten days if you are fast." Although grandpa is not in good health now, he can't die in ten days! ”

Yun Xi could only agree: "Yes, grandpa, I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
