The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 69

So taking advantage of the lunch break, Fu Xuechen played double mahjong with Yunzuo - the rules are the same, and the lack of two people will not prevent Yunzuo from understanding and familiarizing with the rules of the mahjong game.

"It's really interesting! It's suitable for the elderly to pass the time." Yun Zuo gave Fu Xuechen an appreciative look, and immediately decided to take this pair of red sandalwood mahjong tiles to the mother and concubine as a reference, imitating the precious material of jade Mahjong tiles or ivory tiles, and then return the rosewood pair to Fu Xuechen.

"Old people should not sit for a long time, this is something to be careful about." Fu Xuechen reminded again, but there is an imperial doctor in the palace, and elderly nobles, especially those with a high status like the Queen Mother, have to ask for their pulse every day, even if Without her reminder, the imperial doctors would worry about the Queen Mother's health.

With mahjong, Concubine Xie's birthday ceremony this year will be settled, and with some other matching gifts that have been prepared, there is really no need to worry about anything.

While Yoon Zuo was happy, he was still troubled: "The concubine's problem has been solved, but I still don't know what I should give! Our juniors congratulate the old man on his birthday, which is nothing more than kowtow and congratulations, I can't write well."

Fu Xuechen was puzzled: "What's wrong with writing? The congratulatory speech is first and foremost about sincerity, and it's not about asking people to take the imperial examination. It needs to show literary talent and character, and you don't even need to hand in the papers. Just read a few words orally, right? "

Yoon Zuo was helpless: "Although there is no need to hand in the paper, the historian will record it. If the writing is not good..."

He didn't go on, but Fu Xuechen sounded like it was probably a matter of being an idol. The princes will grow up slowly. It doesn't matter if they can speak childishly when they are young, but when they reach a certain age, they should have some words. The level is up, if anyone who is ignorant, makes some crude things out to make fun of them, and becomes a prince in the future, these will become their dark history, and it is inevitable that they will always be laughed at behind their backs.

"In my opinion, sincerity is the most important thing. Literary talents are all for outsiders to see. What the Empress Dowager wants most is His Royal Highness's sincere blessing, and nothing else matters." Fu Xuechen recalled Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life The story of the emperor in his fifties entertaining his stepmother and empress dowager in colorful clothes was a bit emotional.

Yun Zuo admired Fu Xuechen's brains very much, and asked, "Do you have an idea?"

Fu Xuechen thought about it seriously: "I seem to remember my father mentioned that the empress dowager is originally from Lingnan?"

"Yes." Yunzuo nodded: "The imperial grandmother moved north with my imperial grandfather to Jinling and settled down after she got married. It wasn't until my imperial father made his capital here that she moved here with us again."

"So, the Empress Dowager hasn't heard her accent when she was young for many years?" Fu Xuechen couldn't help but see that her mother in her previous life was also from Lingnan, and she can also speak Cantonese.

"No." But Yun Zuo said: "The imperial grandmother married many people back then, and among them there are two or three old mothers who still follow around and serve her personally. They often speak the dialect of their hometown, but we can't listen to it. Understand."

It's a bit surprising, I forgot that noble girls in this era always marry with their families and children, unlike the women of later generations, they marry by themselves, the rich are no exception, and there is no such thing as a housekeeper or housekeeper. Those born in the family follow the dowry, and after marriage, most of these service personnel are hired by the husband's family.

But it doesn't matter, Fu Xuechen still said: "Although the Empress Dowager has an old mother who can talk to her old man in a local dialect, they are not her blood relatives after all."

"I think Your Highness, if you can learn a few words of her old man's local dialect to send her birthday speech, she will be very happy and can appreciate your filial piety and sincerity!"

Yoon Jo thought thoughtfully: "Really?"

Fu Xuechen just made a suggestion, and it was up to Yoon Zuo to decide whether to adopt this plan in the end.

Obviously, Yun Zuo was tempted, and he began to think about where to learn the language and what words to learn: "If you want to learn Lingnan Cantonese, it is not difficult to find people from the Liangguang Guild Hall, but Cantonese is not easy to learn, and the Shengshou Festival is approaching." , The time left for me is so short, can I learn well?"

"Oh! It's easy to learn just a few words!" Fu Xuechen said with a smile, "I don't need to find anyone else, I can! Not only can I know, I can also sing!"

"Sing?" Yoon-joo was shocked.

"Yes! Let me sing and you listen..." Fu Xuechen clasped her fists and sang with a smile: "I wish you good luck and longevity, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today, I wish you the best of luck." , congratulations!"

After translating the lyrics to Yun Zuo, Fu Xuechen asked with a smile, "How about it? It's very simple! At that time, you can also let the musicians on the field cooperate with you to accompany you, and the drums and music will make it lively and festive."

This congratulatory speech is indeed straightforward and simple, and it is not difficult to learn. Yun Zuo was amused by Fu Xuechen's festive expression, and couldn't help asking: "How do you understand all these messy things? Who did you learn this from?"

Fu Xuechen rolled her eyes and said, "Is this difficult? There are people from anywhere in Guozixue, Cantonese! It's not difficult to learn a few words casually, and it's easy to sing casually."

"Then do you still remember how you sang just now?" Yoon Joo smiled.

"Remember! It's just two or three sentences, how can you not remember!" Fu Xuechen is not afraid that Yun Zuo will get to the bottom of it. She will teach Fu Yuchen the same when she goes back, because it is too simple, and she is not afraid of anyone who can't learn it.

Yun Zuo immediately learned from Fu Xuechen, it was indeed very simple, Yun Zuo learned it very quickly, because the words were festive and the melody was also cheerful, the two of them felt happy physically and mentally when they sang, and it was wonderful.

Caiyi Yu is one of the 24 filial piety, it existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, in China, where filial piety is advocating, even if you are respected as the emperor, you can sing operas in person, but opera singers belong to the lower class, lowly, but as long as the purpose of the emperor's opera singing is to make his mother happy , it can be regarded as a good story by scholars in the world and highly respected.

Therefore, Yoon Zuo finally decided that on the day of Shengshou Festival, all the underage princes and princesses would kowtow together to celebrate the birthday. Say hello to the court musicians who were in charge of the ceremony and music that day, and let them play music to suit you.

Yun Zuo has settled a concern here, and when Fu Xuechen went back and told Fu Yuchen, Fu Yuchen broke out in sweat.

"I want to learn too?" Fu Yuchen didn't think that this kind of birthday festival, which is celebrated only once in ten years, would still have the opportunity for him to use Cantonese on stage after being celebrated by Fu Xuechen for him this year.

"Be prepared! It's not difficult to learn!" Fu Xuechen insisted that Fu Yuchen would do it too.

Fu Yuchen was helpless, so he had to obediently learn it a few times. Fortunately, he learned it quickly with just a few sentences. Then he spread out a few thin books and pushed them in front of Fu Xuechen.

　Thank you book friends for catching bugs, I have corrected all the flaws mentioned, thank you everyone!
