Chapter 662 (1/2)
Because today is the new year's day, the old empress dowager, who had to get up very late, got up early. Then, under the service of the middle-aged palace maid, she put on a very festive red palace dress. She even looked ruddy, and the whole person looked very energetic.
When Zhao Yu stepped into the Lingbo hall, the old empress dowager was leaning against the soft collapse, smiling and whispering with Princess Wu, who was still dressed in white. After returning to the palace a few days ago, Princess Wu had been living in Lingbo hall, taking care of the old lady. At this time, when she saw Zhao Yu, her majestic face also showed a rare smile.
Zhao Yu approached, knelt down respectfully and said, ”grandma, auntie, new year's well-being!”
after hearing Zhao Yu's voice, the old empress turned her head, and her smile became brighter. Then she said:
”get up quickly, Yuer, Xinhong, bring the new year's money!”
”grandma, I'm such a big man, and I'm not a child Do you mind? ”
Zhao Yu got up and watched the middle-aged maiden carrying a brocade plate. There were several big red brocade bags on the brocade plate. She began to smile bitterly. Then the Empress Dowager's serious response sounded in her ear:
”I originally gave money to my grandson at this age, but you are not competitive, so you can only take it first and hand it over later.”
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yu's bitter smile became stronger. Then he came to the old empress dowager, reached out and took the latter's hand, and continued to say:
”today is the most grand new year's day in summer. Grandma, don't bury your grandson. I'm going to put the dinner in Lingbo Hall of milk. I'll ask Shigong to come, as well as rouge's father, Ruyue and Bai Zhining, It's also a big family. Grandma, do you have anyone else you want to invite? I'll make arrangements. ”
After Zhao Yu's voice dropped, the old empress dowager's face flashed a flicker of hesitation. Finally, she sighed and swallowed the word ”Qing” again. She shook her head and said:
”it's OK for you to decide. But grandma, I'd like to have a corner in the evening and drink some Tusu wine. Then this summer's 89 years will be complete.”
”Naturally, this corner and Tusu wine are necessary. I have asked Liang Po to prepare in advance. With his cooking skills, my grandmother must be satisfied.”
Zhao Yu spoke softly. Although his tone was relaxed, she could not see the dark eyes of the old empress dowager. She was full of sorrow and even had some tears. Some of the corner that people must eat during the Spring Festival are similar to Zhao Yu's dumplings in his previous life to express his good wishes for the coming year. The Tusu wine is a traditional medicinal wine, representing the body Well being.
Although the old lady has been deprived of her sense of taste and smell, no matter how delicious the food and wine are, it is no different from chewing wax, but she still wants to pass on these beautiful meanings and protect future generations.
After thinking about it for a while, the old empress dowager suddenly thought of something. She said, ”by the way, don't forget Qian yu'er, the person in our palace. Besides, on the private banquet before, our Palace once promised those banquet guests, but this year's money has doubled.”
Then the old man showed a smile and continued to say:
”although I am old and I have a bad memory, I can't let outsiders think that my words are not true.”
”Granny, don't worry, these are all arranged properly, and after the banquet, not only the new year's money, but each of them has received a bottle of water of life, and their mouths are almost closed.”
”Ha ha ha ha!”
The old empress dowager showed a rather heroic smile. On this day of celebration and reunion of the human race, she was particularly happy to be accompanied by her relatives.
