Speaking of New Year’s goods, Zhu Yunxiu laughed.

"What's the lack of you in the palace?" As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong and said seriously, "Although you are a bit suspicious of being attached, you can always think that you are a relative of the Zhu family and a junior of the old man, so you are a little sincere!"

"I am not a little sincere, I am the great sincerity!" Li Jinglong looked solemn, "When my father died, he held me by his hand to warn me. Don't look at my Li family's wealth and honor now and is a great minister, but you must always remember where the wealth of the Li family came from!"

"Without the Emperor, my Li family is just an ant in troubled times. Without the later Prince's promotion and favor, my Li family is just an ordinary relative!"

Zhu Yunxiu listened silently, suddenly felt something was wrong, and said, "No, I heard that when your father left, you were learning to lead troops from the nobles and old ministers in your hometown of Fengyang. He came back to attend the funeral after hearing the news!"

"Finish, I'm talking nonsense!"

Li Jinglong said in his heart, and quickly changed the topic with a smile, "Your Highness said that there is no shortage of ministers in the palace. Whether the palace is lacking is the palace, whether the minister takes care of it or not is the minister's intention!"

As he said, he continued to laugh, "Since ancient times, visiting relatives has never looked like they were empty-handed, let alone the aunt's cousin who broke the bones and connected the tendons!"

"Then tell me, what did you bring?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

"There are 100 chickens outside the mouth and 100 bamboo shoots and geese. This year's new wheat noodles are 100 kilograms and new rice is 100 kilograms..."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "You are so stingy in the New Year's Etiquette? Why, the Li family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's

"Don't be too conspicuous to your highness. These new rice and noodles are all produced in my own farm!" Li Jinglong said loudly, "Since my father was granted the title of Duke Cao, the emperor in his hometown has granted him the title of Duke of Cao. Now I am here to pay New Year's greetings. The new grain grown in the land given by the emperor is also considered as appropriate!"

Zhu Yunxiu thought, "Your gift has profound meanings, and he will definitely be happy compared to the old man!"

"Living things such as chickens and gooses are produced outside the mouth, which is slightly different from the Jiangnan side. There are several generals who commanded the army there, and they were all under my father's subordinates in their early years!" Li Jinglong smiled again, "The things outside the mouth are given to the emperor to taste, one is to try them out, and the other is to say!" As he said that, he smiled again, "It means that my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and the emperor is rich in all directions!"

"You, you are not good at anything else. This skill of flattery is really rare in the world!" Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly, "It is also a saying to give gifts, which is far more than the articles of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, making people feel heartwarming and comfortable."

Li Jinglong replied seriously, "I am sincere to Your Highness and filial to the emperor. The so-called real gold is not afraid of fire, which is naturally more deliberate flattery than others!"

Zhu Yunxiu was already smiling from ear to ear, "Okay, you're still panting when you say you're fat!" As he said, he said, "You're giving this gift to remind me of a person!"

Li Jinglong suddenly became nervous, "Who is it?"

"Princess Anqing's son-in-law Ouyang Lun! Just now, the son-in-law were trembling in front of the old man. Only he was chatting and laughing, and also gave the old man some chicken, duck, rice and flour from home. The old man was very happy!" Zhu Yunxi smiled.

"An old white-faced person who eats soft food!"

Li Jinglong scolded in his heart, but he was still smiling, "I can't compare with my son-in-law. He is a young Jinshi and has learned all over the world. I am a martial artist. In addition to being filial and loyal, I am fighting!"

As the saying goes, Zhu Yunxi knew that Li Jinglong might be a little slandering about Ouyang Lun, the son-in-law, and even not very considerate of him.

Moreover, I heard what Li Jinglong said. Ouyang Lun had nothing to compare with him except for his knowledge and articles. At least he, Li Jinglong, had military achievements.

"Okay, there's so much nonsense. Come in with the orphan to meet the old man!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

Li Jinglong lowered his hands solemnly, "Abide by the order!"

~~~

"This New Year, we call you all into the palace, so that you can't be filial to your parents, and we are arrogant!"

In the hall, the old man smiled and talked to the princes.

No matter how good he feels in his heart, he still has a hard mouth. But he is really kind to his sons-in-law.

"After thirty and after the lunar calendar, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's find a day to set up a few tables in the palace, and you will bring your parents into the palace!" The old man smiled and said, "Although they are in-laws over the years, they can count the slaps when they are!"

The princes bowed their heads and thanked them, but they were still a little too formal.

Only the prince-in-law Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "Is your majesty true?"

The old man glanced straight, "When will we say it in our life?"

"When I went back and told my parents, I wonder how happy they were? Especially my father, I must be showing off my clan and I will have to drink and have a meal with the emperor!" Ouyang Lun smiled, "When the time comes, I might even take me to go to the ancestral grave to worship!"

"Hahaha!" The old man was in a very smooth mood. He laughed and said, "How is your father's alcohol?"

"Three meals a day!" Ouyang Lun said, "Drink breakfast and dinner. Before going to bed at night, you have to make some side dishes and three shochus. He said it was relieved, and I advised him not to drink too much, but every time I persuaded him, I was scolded for being so bloody!"

"He is lucky!" The old man smiled, "We want to take a sip, grandson is very careful!" As he said that, Yu Guang happened to see Zhu Yunxiu who had just come in, "What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jinglong's figure appeared from behind and he knelt down directly.

"My minister Li Jinglong, please see Your Majesty!" As he said that, he kowtowed a few times.

Before the old man could speak, he stood up first, then knelt down. This time, kowtowed was a little more solemn than last time. "Suncle Jinglong, kowtow to my uncle and ancestor. May my uncle and ancestor live longer than the pine trees in the south mountain, and prolong life!"

While saying that, he kowtowed with great sincerity.

Several princes and princes were stunned for a moment. They had never seen this before.

The prince-in-law Mei Yin is better. She once teamed up with Li Jinglong and curled her lips slightly and said to herself, "The face is thicker than my butt!"

The old man looked at Li Jinglong kowtow repeatedly, and the initial doubt on his face turned into joy, "Get up!" As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong again, "It's good that you are here, you are not an outsider!" As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong again, "Every time I see you, we want your father to come. Although we are our nephew, we have raised him as a son since we were young!"

"The Emperor!" Li Jinglong choked up in an instant and said, "When my father was alive, he often said these things. He said that he followed his grandfather to Chuzhou to join you, and he was nervous all the way, thinking that you would not take him as his nephew, and he was a little unfamiliar. After all, he had never seen you. But when he saw you, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself."

"The father also said that when he saw that your appearance was somewhat similar to that of his grandmother, he pulled your sleeve and cried. You hugged your father, and your uncle and nephew burst into tears together!"

The old man smiled bitterly, "Hey, he is a good boy, but he is so lucky!" As he said that, he suddenly thought, "Your son is quite old too?"

"My legitimate son is fourteen years old. Last year, he was given the honor of the emperor and gave him the title of "Qingchewei!" Li Jinglong replied.

"Woo!" The old man thought, "The fourteenth is not young anymore. He will become a father in two years. Will he get engaged?"

Li Jinglong was shocked and quickly shouted, "It should have been decided long ago, but this matter must be decided by my parents. My father died early, and my mother was already a little confused. So, I thought to report to the emperor when he was fifteen years old. After all, in terms of seniority, he would call you "Old Ancestor!"

The old man seemed to be very happy with the call of ancestors, but he shook his head and said, "It's enough to recognize our ancestors, but you can't call him. In this world, only our great-grandson can call him ancestors!"

As he said that, he looked at the son-in-law, "So, let's make the decision today. Which of your daughters is the same age as the children of the Li family? Let's see, you might as well kiss them!"
