great mandate

Shen Wuji coughed lightly: "You are sick, go to bed early—"

"Is the father-in-law available for food in the palace?" Luo Jinyu asked suddenly.

Shen Wuji was startled, before answering, the filial boy Xifeng has already rushed to say: "Godfather must have only drank wine and didn't eat anything. There are many rules in the palace, he doesn't have time to eat, he is always serving others."

The miserable words made Shen Wuji, who came from the palace with a full stomach, speechless for a moment.

At the palace banquet, he was indeed only serving the emperor, entertaining the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, and did not eat anything other than the wine bestowed by the emperor.But after the palace banquet was over, he and his colleagues in the supervisor of ceremonies got the food and wine rewarded by the emperor, and ate to their fullest.

Shen Wuji didn't speak, Luo Jinyu didn't know what to say, he hesitated to speak, after thinking for a long time, finally found a way to exchange greetings, said: "Today's Chinese New Year, father-in-law changed his clothes instead."

On weekdays, Shen Wuji always wears red, like celebrating the New Year every day.

"The rules in the palace are like this every year and festival. If nobles want to wear red, our family will not offend them." Shen Wuji said.

"My father-in-law looks good in blue," Luo Jinyu said.

Shen Wuji snorted, and said: "It's natural. Our family looks good in whatever we wear."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

"Godfather and Mr. Luo are both talented dragons and phoenixes, so it's natural." Xifeng said with a smile beside him, "However, Mr. Luo is in good shape, so he can't blow too much wind, so don't stand at the door and talk. Godfather, hurry up Please come in, my son is going to bring supper, Mr. Luo specially told him to keep it warm."

Luo Jinyu heard the words and said, "Please, father-in-law."

Shen Wuji hesitated for a moment, but still followed into the house.

Xifeng trotted to the kitchen, there were only two people in the room, it was warm, Shen Wuji was about to untie his cloak, when he saw Luo Jinyu came in front of him, reaching out to untie his cloak.

"What are you doing?" Shen Wuji startled him, took a step back, and asked in surprise.

"I think that on weekdays, Xifeng is like this..." Luo Jinyu was also taken aback by his reaction, and stood there dryly, explaining embarrassingly.

Shen Wuji frowned: "He is him, you are you, why do you learn from him? You are not an eunuch."

Luo Jinyu didn't speak for a while.

Shen Wuji realized that what he said was too harsh, so he also started to embarrass himself, untied his cloak uncomfortably, shook it at the door, put it on the hanger, and sat down at the table by himself, not daring to look at Luo Jinyu.

After a long time, Luo Jinyu said: "I was the one who was abrupt."

Shen Wuji said vaguely: "Stop talking, it's Chinese New Year." Luo Jinyu nodded and sat down at the table.

The two of them stared at the candlelight, speechless for a while, until Xifeng brought the food and wine, and offered them one by one.

When Xifeng was pouring wine for Shen Wuji, Luo Jinyu said: "Elder-in-law has already drank wine in the palace, it is best not to drink any more, too much wine will hurt your health."

Xifeng nodded, and said, "Mr. Luo is considerate, but Xifeng is not as good."

When he turned to pour wine for Luo Jinyu, Shen Wuji said: "Mr. Luo is still recuperating, don't pour it for him."

Xifeng nodded, and said, "Godfather is meticulous, but son is not as good."

"Not as good as what? Don't mess around here, I just listen to you." Shen Wuji gave him a white look, "Go down."

Xifeng hurriedly put away the lunch box and slipped out.

There were two more people left in the room, and when they were looking at each other speechlessly, the lights crackled and exploded.

"I heard that the lanterns exploded, which is a good omen." Luo Jinyu looked at the candlestick and smiled.

Shen Wuji looked at him through the candlelight: "Didn't Mr. Luo never believe in mystical words?"

For this reason, Luo Jinyu once wrote an article "Ask the Stone Buddha" to ridicule the dead things of the stone Buddha in the temple.

Luo Jinyu's smile faded, and said: "People will always change."

"Our family doesn't think so." Shen Wuji said, "Our family thinks that people will not change, if it looks like they have changed, it's just the way it is."

Luo Jinyu smiled, did not speak, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up vegetables with chopsticks.

Although Shen Wuji couldn't eat much, seeing Luo Jinyu was eating, he picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and ate slowly.

The two ate in silence, neither of them spoke, but gradually they were no longer embarrassed.

Xifeng waited in the corridor, not long after, he heard his godfather's voice from inside: "Take it."

He hurriedly beckoned the girl to go in, collected the leftovers, bowls and chopsticks on the table one by one, just after he went out, he watched the girl go to the small kitchen, when he turned around, he saw Shen Wuji also coming out of the room.

Xifeng didn't mean it, but he actually blocked the road, refusing to let go, his beady eyes slid from the door to his godfather's face, he put his hand in his mouth, hesitant to speak.

How could Shen Wuji not know what this little brat was thinking, but fortunately he was in a good mood today, so he just raised his foot, kicked his calf lightly, and hummed: "Get out of the way."

Only then did Xifeng get out of the way, and seeing that the door behind him was closed, he followed Shen Wuji, walking in small steps, and said in a low voice: "Godfather, it's Chinese New Year, let's talk to godmother for a while."

"It's half past time, what are you talking about." Shen Wuji looked at him with disdain, and after a while, his voice became softer, and said, "You're still sick."

Xifeng couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing: "Godfather is really considerate and considerate."

Shen Wuji was not at ease, turned into anger from embarrassment, bent his index finger, and slammed on Xifeng's head.

"Ouch!"

Xifeng took a deep breath and looked at him aggrievedly, but this was fleeting, he immediately smiled lovably again, and said, "My son hasn't paid New Year's greetings to his godfather yet."
