"Mother, is the eldest brother here?" Several little radish heads squeezed into the house, led by Zhu Zhang, followed by Zhu Di who had a mouthful of pastry slag and Zhu Di who was ignorant.

Ma Xiuying saw that they were sweating profusely and there were stains on their clothes, so she immediately straightened her face, "Where did you go to peel again?"

Zhu Di pursed his lips, "It's not good, my mother's belly is starting to get bigger, they say that my mother hid her brother in her stomach and didn't play with me." ”

"My brother was afraid of the heat, and he didn't want to come out until it was cool for a while. Ma Xiuying chuckled.

During the period when Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned king, he rarely went out to fight, and spent more time in the house, through his hard work, his wives and concubines became pregnant one after another, and Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui were ecstatic. Li Qi'er is also full of joy, she is already the second child, and she can't imagine that she will have one or two when she is hopeless about having a child.

Two days ago, Ma Xiuying also heard someone tell her that Li Guihua was also pregnant, and couldn't help but sigh at Zhu Yuanzhang's reproductive ability, while considering whether to build a kindergarten in the house in the future.

"Mother, where is the eldest brother?"

The children's shouts pulled back Ma Xiuying's thoughts, she glanced into the inner room, and said, "He is afraid that it will affect me, so he will endorse it inside." ”

Zhu Di said mysteriously: "We have something to do with the eldest brother, can you let him come out?"

Ma Xiuying asked curiously, "Can you tell me something?"

Zhu Fan immediately pulled the hem of Zhu Di's clothes and kept making his eyes, signaling him not to speak.

Ma Xiuying's heart was slightly pantothenic, these little ghosts had their own secrets, and seeing that Zhu Fan was unwilling to say it to his face, he called Zhu Biao to leave with them. She kept an eye on it, and Paixon followed behind to eavesdrop.

A few children found a pavilion in the garden to sit down, and they probably didn't think that Xun Ying was eavesdropping, and the sound was quite loud.

Zhu Fan asked, "Big brother, is my father going to send you back to your hometown to worship your ancestors?"

Zhu Biao nodded, "Yesterday, my father discussed with me, and the specific date has not yet been decided." ”

It turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang became the queen, he planned to let Zhu Biao go back to Haozhou to worship the ancestral tomb instead of himself, and by the way, inquire about the whereabouts of other relatives. This is just his preliminary idea, the specific charter has not yet been drafted, in order not to worry Ma Xiuying, he asked Zhu Biao not to tell Ma Xiuying.

I don't know where Zhu Fan and Zhu Di knew about it, they also wanted to go out of the house to play, but they didn't have the courage to tell Zhu Yuanzhang, so they came to ask Zhu Biao, "Big brother, you go to Haozhou and take us with you, we will go too." ”

"No, it's up to my father to decide. Zhu Biao refused, although he has always been humble to his younger brothers, but he did not dare to promise this kind of big thing.

Zhu Fan immediately complained, "Stingy! Father is eccentric, and he always thinks of the eldest brother first when he is delicious and fun!"

Zhu Biao patiently persuaded: "It's very dangerous outside, you are still young, and when you grow up, your father will let you out." Big brother promises you that I will bring you all kinds of fun things when I come back this time......"

When Xun Ying heard this, she left quietly, as if she was hanging fifteen buckets in her heart, should she tell Ma Xiuying? This matter is very serious, she does not dare to hide it, but if she tells Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying will inevitably be worried. And the prince is only so big, how can the prince rest assured that he will go out alone?

She returned to the house worriedly, although Ni Duan could no longer be seen on her face, Ma Xiuying still sensed a problem from the nervous movements of her constant wringing of clothes, "Do you have something to hide from me again?"

The word "again" frightened Xun Ying's soul, and Ma Xiuying was still angry that she was hiding her injury, so she hurriedly said what she heard.

"What does the prince want to do, Biao'er is so young, he can put his mind at ease!" Sure enough, Ma Xiuying was very angry when she heard it, and when Zhu Biao came back, she directly asked Zhu Biao if it was really something.

Zhu Biao, who was respectful and filial, saw her face with anger, and immediately knelt down and said, "Mother concubine is angry, my father is worried about your body, so I asked me not to tell you about this for the time being." Father is very hard, please don't get me wrong. ”

Ma Xiuying's brows furrowed and she told him to get up, "He can let someone else go, why don't you send you?" You are still young and in poor health, I don't feel at ease. ”

Zhu Biao walked to her side, "Father can't pull away, I am the eldest grandson of the Zhu family, and it is my responsibility to worship the ancestral tomb." ”

This reason made Ma Xiuying speechless, she muttered: "There is chaos outside, how can your father let you go alone? Can't you wait for a few years for the situation to be stable before going?"

"Mother doesn't have to worry, Haozhou is guarded by my army, and I don't dare to make a mess when I am young, and my father also equipped me with elite soldiers and good horses, and specially sent Uncle Yuan and a few guards to accompany me, and it will be fine. Zhu Biao was not half timid, but had a kind of excitement to try.

It is rare to see Zhu Biao moved by foreign objects, Ma Xiuying can't say anything to stop her, she knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is hiding that she sent her son back to her hometown to worship her ancestors because she is afraid that she will not be at ease when she hears about it, and she also knows that her current body is really not easy to run, and she knows that Zhu Yuanzhang's decision will not change easily, so she has to hold back her disappointment and say: "You go to Haozhou to worship the ancestral tomb, and by the way, go to Suxian County to repair your grandmother's and grandfather's clothes and mounds, if they know about it, they should rest assured." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiuying's eyes couldn't help but redden, if her father and mother were still there, seeing that she married a great husband and gave birth to three smart and clever children, she would definitely smile so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

It's a pity that they were killed by the dog officer back then, Ma Xiuying didn't have the ability to recapture the bones of her parents, and Guo Zixing refused to help sincerely.

At that time, the county magistrate of Suxian County heard that he was killed in the rebellion of the rebel army, but it was cheaper for him. Landlord Liu's family is still alive, and Ma Xiuying once swore that she must kill the enemy, so she didn't let the shadow guard move them.

However, Landlord Liu's family has often lost their property over the years, and the official can't find out who did it, so the two of them are so angry that they scold at home all day long, and their lives are very bad. How did they know that now it was only the shadow guards who punished them slightly, and when Ma Xiuying freed up his hands to deal with them, they didn't have time to cry.

"Keep in mind the child. Zhu Biao saw Ma Xiuying crying sadly, and hurriedly changed the topic, "My grandfather and grandmother must be very good to teach a heroine like my mother." ”

Xun Ying, who was standing next to him, almost laughed out loud, ordinary people praise women for being virtuous and dignified, and it is difficult for the son of the world to come up with a heroic word among women to praise his mother. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she was really uncomfortable, so she excused herself to serve medicine to Ma Xiuying, and quickly found a corner where no one was there and laughed loudly.
