34. Chapter XXXIV
Zhu Yuanyu saw that Li Zhuangzhuang kept eating lychees, and the plates were full of lychee skins, afraid that he would catch fire, so he had to remind: "Although lychees are delicious, they are easy to catch fire, the so-called three fires for a lychee, do you know?"
Li Zhuangzhuang laughed, randomly stuffed the peeled lychee in his hand into his mouth, swallowed his stomach and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "The last one, no, hehe." ”
Afraid that Zhu Yuanyu would blame, he hurriedly promised: "Just this time, I will go to the kitchen to ask for herbal tea to drink." ”
Zhu Yuanyu glanced at the blank fruit plate, and he was also satisfied.
"Okay, you can go now, you don't have to come here again, come to the palace with me tomorrow." ”
Li Zhuangzhuang smiled happily, "It's the young master!"
When everyone retreated, Zhu Yuanyu kept a candle and did not blow it out, and put down the ancient books before resting.
Nothing happened overnight.
Following.
Zhu Yuanyu washed up and changed his clothes to go out, and Li Zhuangzhuang walked over with a painful expression on his teeth.
As soon as he looked at his expression, Zhu Yuanyu knew what the situation was.
"It's on fire, look at what I said, I won't let you eat so many lychees, but you will eat them all, it's time for you!" Zhu Yuanyu rolled his eyes.
Li Zhuangzhuang lowered his head, "I drank a big bowl of herbal tea last night, why didn't it work?"
Zhu Yuanyu couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded with a smile: "Eat less hot food these days, and it will be fine in a few days, so bear it." After saying that, he ignored him and walked away.
Li Zhuangzhuang touched the back of his head and followed depressedly.
Zhu Yuanyu estimated that his uncle should still be in the imperial court, so when he arrived at the palace, he asked his grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye, and then went to Wang Jinyi first.
Wang Jinyi was bored at this time, and when he saw Zhu Yuanyu, he was immediately happy, "Yuanyu, why are you here? Are you here to find me? Go, I heard that there is a new troupe in 'Qinghui Building', let's go and see, I'm worried that no one will accompany me!"
Zhu Yuanyu took Wang Jinyi's hand on his shoulder and shook his head, "I'm not here to find you, I'm waiting for my uncle to go down to the court to find him for tea, I don't have the time to accompany you to mess around, so I will stay there." ”
Wang Jinyi hugged him and said: "Next time you look for my son to drink tea, when can't you drink tea! But my opera troupe came with great difficulty, and I may leave without knowing when, what a pity to miss it?"
Zhu Yuanyu pulled his hand expressionlessly and said, "Don't make trouble." ”
Wang Jinyi made a heartfelt gesture, looking at him with a resentful expression of "you actually abandoned me, you are a negative man".
"Okay, you can't do it today, let's go with you tomorrow. Hurry up for tea, how to entertain guests!"
Zhu Yuanyu sat down in the Taishi chair at the moment.
chatted with Wang Jinyi for a while, and a little guy came over.
"Young Master Zhu, my lord is invited. ”
"Well, got it. ”
Zhu Yuanyu stood up and said to Wang Jinyi, "You come to me tomorrow." ”
Wang Jin bowed his head, "Of course, you remember to wait for me at home, don't go anywhere!"
Zhu Yuanyu rolled his eyes and walked out.
Wang Guangli's study is not far from Wang Jinyi's courtyard, bypassing a few corridors and a garden.
When he arrived at the study, Wang Guangli was admiring a calligraphy and painting with his hands behind his back.
"Uncle. ”
Wang Guangli turned his head when he heard this.
"Yuanyu, come, come and see this calligraphy and painting, how about it?" Wang Guangli beckoned with a smile.
Zhu Yuanyu observed it and smiled, "Where did my uncle get this calligraphy and painting?"
Wang Guangli smiled proudly, "Someone else gave it away, it's good." ”
"Yes, his calligraphy and paintings are rare on the market, and this one is still of flowers and birds, and there is a poem inscribed on it, which is even rarer, and my uncle is lucky. Zhu Yuanyu praised.
Wang Guangli put away the calligraphy and paintings with a smile and said to his subordinates: "Let's all step down." ”
Zhu Yuanyu followed him to the Taishi chair and sat down.
"Chen's business—"
"Not me. ”
"That's good...... It doesn't matter if we're dead, we don't have to worry about it. Wang Guangli sighed.
Zhu Yuanyu was silent.
"When I first learned about Chen's incident, I was shocked, but now it's okay, she is just reaping the consequences, and she is really not wronged...... It's just that she is pitiful for her daughter who has to keep filial piety at a young age. ”
After Chen's death, I'm afraid her daughter's situation will become very embarrassing, but they can't control it.
After chatting with my uncle, my grandfather sent someone to stay for dinner.
"Go back to the old lady, and say that we will go over later. ”
……
After having dinner in the palace, Zhu Yuanyu went home.
Passing by a pharmacy on the way, he stopped the carriage and took out a piece of paper to Li Zhuangzhuang, "You go to the pharmacy and ask them to take a few pills according to what is written on it." ”
Li Zhuangzhuang immediately became nervous, "Young Master, are you sick?"
"No, what are you worried about, it's for you to catch medicine, clear heat and detoxify. Do you want your gums to hurt all the time? ”
"Oh, oh, I'm going!" Li Zhuangzhuang grinned, and then looked pained, looking very funny.
Soon, Li Zhuangzhuang came back with the medicinal herbs wrapped in oil paper.
"Let's go. Zhu Yuanyu said.
After turning a few streets, I finally arrived at Zhu's Mansion.
Zhu Yuanyu got out of the carriage, and the person guarding the door smiled flatteringly, "Young master, you're back!" and then opened the door.
Zhu Yuanyu nodded at him and walked in.
Zhu's mansion is quite big, if it is a female dependent, it is necessary to sit in a sedan chair, of course, there is also a sedan chair of Zhu Yuanyu, but he has never rarely sit, he still insists on walking if he can walk, and a little distance is not challenging for his steps.
The subordinates of the Zhu Mansion are also familiar with this habit of his, and they look strange, and they are accustomed to it.
This made Zhu Facai, who returned at the same time, a little embarrassed.
When Zhu Facai went out, he excused his mother-in-law and wife that he was going to get acquainted with celebrities in the capital, but in fact, he was just going to see what fun and lively places there were in the capital.
Yes, there is, but unfortunately he was penniless and shy, so he complained that Zhu Dafu was stingy and did not provide him with silver consumption, and returned to Zhu's mansion dejectedly.
When he arrived at Zhu's mansion, he held his head high again, proud like a peacock with an open screen, and no one seemed to look down on him, just about to take a sedan chair to let people carry him into the house, who knew that Zhu Yuanyu, the genuine Zhu family, did not take a sedan chair and chose to walk, and he felt a little embarrassed for a while, if he really sat in a sedan chair in front of Zhu Yuanyu, I am afraid that his ass was roasted on the fire.
In desperation, he had no choice but to catch up with Zhu Yuanyu in a hurry.
"Big cousin, wait for your cousin and I-"
In fact, Zhu Yuanyu had already discovered him, but it was better to have more than one thing, so he chose to ignore it, who knew that he still couldn't escape.
"Are you?" Zhu Yuanyu knew who he was, but still pretended not to know.
Zhu Facai ran a few steps, but his face turned pale from exhaustion, and he said unsteadily: "...... I—I'm yours, cousin......"
Zhu Yuanyu looked at his loose fat, the corners of his mouth twitched, will he be fat if he drinks water or is he more able to eat, after arriving in the capital after the famine in his hometown has been exhausted, he can still maintain such a rich state, which can be regarded as a talent.
"It turned out to be my cousin's uncle—disrespectful, disrespectful. Is my cousin going out?" said Zhu Yuanyu.
Zhu Facai wiped his sweat with a thick palm that seemed to be inflated, shook it to the ground, looked at Zhu Yuanyu embarrassedly, saw that he didn't pay attention to his movements, calmed down a little, and said with a smile: "No, I just came back." The capital is worthy of being the national capital, and the prosperity and liveliness are not comparable to other rural places. ”
After saying that, seeing that Zhu Yuanyu was just smiling, he immediately realized that where he couldn't go to play in the capital of a rich man, how could he be like himself, a poor sour man, if he wanted money or not, if he wanted status or not, he was still an inverted door.
He suddenly became a little annoyed, and in his heart he was even more jealous of a hairy boy like Zhu Yuanyu who grew up with a golden key, he didn't have any fart skills, but he was just a loser who cared about eating, drinking, and having fun, and wasting food.
If he was born with such a posture, he would have been famous a long time ago, and he would not be a famous figure in history in the future.
In the end, just think about it, reality is reality, he is just a pitiful worm who mourns everything in middle age.
Looking at Zhu Yuanyu's noble style, even the little guys around him looked good, compared to the clothes that didn't fit very well because he was made in a hurry, he lowered his eyelids to cover the darkness under his eyes.
"Uncle cousin?"
He came back to his senses and forced a smile: "It's nothing, let's go, it's not good to stand under the head of the lie for too long." ”
Zhu Yuanyu smiled thoughtfully, the people of this family are really interesting, and the negative feelings on their faces are blind and can't be seen!
……
Wang Chunmei was dealing with Guo Hua'er impatiently, and saw her son and Zhu Facai walking in together, talking and laughing together, so she wondered, this family is really good at picking time, and they all met their sons one by one.
"Yo, my eldest cousin is back! Come and sit down and serve tea!" Guo Hua'er's tone seemed to be the master of this Zhu Mansion, and the shelves were full of display.
The mother-in-law on the side of the house hasn't spoken yet, why are you an outsider embarrassed to interject first?
Wang Chunmei pursed her lips, and when she walked towards Zhu Yuanyu, her face changed to a smile, "Did grandpa leave you food?"
Zhu Yuanyu smiled, "I really can't hide anything from you, my mother......"
"That's right, you were born to me, I don't know you yet, go to your grandfather's house, can you refuse his old man's heart?
Zhu Rumei's eyes rolled, her eyes widened slightly, pretending to be very innocent, and said to Zhu Yuanyu: "Cousin went to your grandfather's house...... Can you bring me with you next time? I don't have many friends when I first came to Beijing, so I really want to make a few sisters......
Wang Chunmei sneered in her heart, this little girl is even more powerful than her mother, she is a pig who eats a tiger, if people are not careful, they may be bitten by her fangs.
"That's difficult, Yuanyu doesn't have a granddaughter in his grandfather's family......"
After Wang Chunmei finished speaking, she stared at Zhu Rumei with a smile on her face.
"That, forget it......" Zhu Rumei lowered her head, looking like she had been wronged.
She wondered in her heart, Zhu Yuanyu's grandfather's family should be an official eunuch's family, how could there be no granddaughter, aren't all officials with three wives and four concubines? She suspected that Wang Chunmei didn't want her to go to the palace to find a bad excuse, but unfortunately she couldn't refute it.
"By the way, I just saw your eldest cousin and your little servant carrying a few packets of medicinal herbs, is anyone sick?" Zhu Facai suddenly asked.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't know what he meant, so he said straightforwardly: "It's nothing, it's just a medicine for detoxification." ”
"What?!Yuanyu, what's wrong with you?!Tell your mother!" Wang Chunmei thought it was a medicine for Zhu Yuanyu, and immediately asked nervously.
Zhu Yuanyu smiled helplessly, "Mother, look at you and worry again, I am very healthy, he eats more lychees and is on fire, and the medicine I asked him to catch is for him." ”
Wang Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him with disgust.
The other three people immediately felt uncomfortable when they heard this, last night's lychee was such a precious rarity for a lowly subordinate to eat, and it had to be eaten a lot to get angry, isn't this an insult!
Guo Hua'er couldn't get angry, and suddenly said in a weird way: "I said big cousin, my cousin knows that you treat your subordinates well, but they are slaves in the end, how can you give such a precious thing as lychees to your subordinates to eat? I didn't eat enough yesterday! Who are your relatives who are related by blood? Isn't it authentic for you to do this, I say!"
As soon as Wang Chunmei heard this, she had good food and shelter for you, and she actually blamed the master's family in turn, is there such a person?
"What do you mean by that?!!Make it clear to me!"
