Chapter 361 Good minister, what about mine?
The New Year atmosphere in the palace is still very strong.
Along the way, palace lanterns were hung everywhere, and the big word "Fu" could be seen everywhere. There were several palace gates with Spring Festival couplets posted on them.
Regarding the source of the Han people's Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, it seems that the good ministers vaguely heard that it was founded by Meng Chang, the ruler of the Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and it was later passed down.
At that time, the Spring Festival couplets were not called Spring Festival couplets, but Peach Talismans. Wang Anshi had a poem about Spring Festival couplets, saying, "Thousands of doors and thousands of households are shining in the sun, and they always replace the old talismans with new peaches."
After the Ming Dynasty, Spring Festival couplets were truly introduced to thousands of households. During the Chinese New Year, every household would post Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" and this custom has been deeply imprinted into the bones of the descendants of the Han family.
Spring Festival couplets are not only blessings and expectations for the new year, but also a symbol of the Han people.
What are Han people? People who follow the same civilization, identify with the same culture, and adhere to the same custom are Han people.
If you cannot do this, even if the blood of Yanhuang is shed in your bones, you will not be considered a Han person.
If you enter Hu, you will be Hu, and if you enter Han, you will be Han.
Liangchen remembered that when he was a child, he was having the New Year. Even though his father Wei Jinde didn’t know a single word, he wouldn’t even be willing to use straw paper when he went to the thatched cottage, so he had to spend two copper coins to go to the entrance of the village to ask Master Wu to write a Spring Festival couplet home and hang it.
Why?
Dad can’t tell the big truth, but a simple sentence is enough - “This is passed down by our ancestors.”
Every few days before the New Year, it was also the busiest time of Master Wu’s year, because he had to write Spring Festival couplets for the people in the village and even in several villages. In the past few days, Master Wu was in a happy mood.
Inheritance is to continue through small things.
Cutting off inheritance means cutting off our roots.
...
Along the way, many palace servants and eunuchs were wearing new clothes and congratulating each other happily.
Liangchen saw that many eunuchs who seemed to be of high quality specially carried a red bag with big and small red envelopes inside, but those who wished him New Year's greetings were happy that the big red envelopes were sent.
In addition to eunuchs, palace servants with ministries also distributed red envelopes. Although there are twenty-four yamen in the palace, they are in charge of eunuchs. For example, female officials are responsible for the palace servants. For example, Shangyi, Shanggong, Shangfu, Shangshi and other officials.
Don’t ask how much money is in the red envelope, but what you want is the heart and a joy.
The young man who received the red envelopes and the palace people were laughing. After thanking the eunuchs and female officials, they ran aside and played with each other. Today is the third year of junior high school, and the holidays are on the court. In addition to the necessary staff in the palace, the rest of the people are also on holidays.
During the New Year, no matter how noisy the eunuchs and palace maids are, whether they are in charge of affairs or the concubines and queens above, even the emperor will not blame them. After all, the New Year is celebrated once a year.
Although Zhu Changxun had moved out of the palace, he lived in the palace since he was a child and was very familiar with this scene. He looked at the red envelopes of the eunuchs and female officials in the distance with interest, with a smile on his face.
Liangchen took a few steps behind him, thinking that the King of Fu should not be jealous of money, so he asked his red envelope to hang up and went to greet people for the New Year to ask for red envelopes. If he really could put his figure down, he would be very busy today.
Fortunately, His Highness Fu was a person with status in the end and didn't do that. Although, he looked very enthusiastic.
Liangchen didn't want him to do this, because if he received too many red envelopes, he would not show how heavy the red envelopes were.
Giving goose feathers thousands of miles away is a gift that is light and affection is heavy.
The good minister can point at thirty or two to bribe His Highness, and no matter what, before Wanli dies, this Prince Fu will still be able to roam several times.
My master, he dared not think about it anymore. If this person knows that he has become a fellow Taoist with him, it may be a shock to the mountain.
When he arrived at Yikun Palace, Zhu Changxun originally wanted to take Liangchen in with him, but after thinking about it, he asked Liangchen to wait outside.
The good ministers did not dare to disobey their orders, and stood alone by the palace gate and stood by the palace gate.
There were laughter from time to time in Yikun Palace, which sounded very lively. No wonder Wang Tigan gave herself such a look. During the Chinese New Year, the imperial concubine was in a good mood. When she was in a good mood, she would naturally benefit from the servants.
There are no guards in the palace city, only eunuchs guard. After all, the women living in the palace, whether they are concubines or ordinary palace ladies, are nominally the emperor's women, so how can normal men be called here to be active?
Cuckolding the emperor is not a ruthless person.
Zhu Changxun went in for a while, and he didn't know what the mother and son were talking about. The good minister stood bored and watched the palace maids and eunuchs come in and out.
After a while, a eunuch from Fang came over and called him: "Wei Sheren, the emperor and the empress are you going in."
Liangchen recognized this person. When Wang Tigan took him into the palace last time, he seemed to call him Eunuch Liu, as if he was the eunuch who had to be used by the imperial concubine. He immediately touched a red envelope and handed it on it.
"Ya? The little case leader is so polite."
Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes and accepted the red envelope with a smile, then led Liangchen into the room. Because he knew that the head of the case was very important to the Queen, he received the red envelopes from others. Liu Cheng had a more friendly attitude and said a few gossips to Liangchen.
When he arrived outside the hall, Liu Cheng reported to him outside, and soon the voice of Concubine Zheng came from inside: "Let him come in."
Liu Cheng nodded to Liangchen, who hurriedly walked into the hall, bowed and said, "My dear Wei Liangchen has seen Your Majesty, Empress Imperial Concubine!" After thinking about it, he added, "I wish Your Majesty, Empress Imperial Concubine can make a fortune in the new year and make a fortune!"
"oh?"
Wanli, who was holding Mei Yuruyi in his hand, was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then he stretched out and looked at Wei Liangchen with a smile, nodded sincerely, "Okay, big hair, big hair, these words are festive, I love to listen to them."
"This child is just good at talking." Concubine Zheng laughed, raised her hand to Liangchen, "Go up and talk."
"Yes, Empress."
The good minister hurriedly stepped forward, and then he noticed that in the hall, in addition to the Wanli couple, there were Zhu Changxun, a red-robed eunuch, a green-robed eunuch, a female official, and two children.
One of the children looked afraid of being three or four years old, while the other seemed to have just turned one year old and was held in the hand of a woman.
Could it be that these two are Zhu Changxun’s sons?
It is estimated that Concubine Zheng is Zhu Changxun's biological mother, and these two children are her biological grandson. During the Chinese New Year, the children and grandchildren will naturally gather together.
One of the people inside was afraid that Emperor Hongguang would be Zhu Yousong in the future. Liangchen looked at the fat man who was three or four years old, laughed, and then subconsciously took out a red envelope in his arms, walked to the fat man, took out a red envelope and handed it to the other party.
"This person must be the emperor's grandson. Come on, I will send you a red envelope for the New Year."
The good minister was familiar with him. After sending Zhu Yousong's post, he took out two red envelopes and handed them to the woman holding the child. Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he sent one to the two eunuchs and female officials.
The festive words in my mouth are endless, and congratulations on the prosperity of the hall.
Everyone was stunned to see it, and Concubine Zheng was holding her smile.
