Chapter 50: Five Sisters and Six Sisters
The noisy attack case gradually subsided under Zhu Youxiao's abandonment of investigation, under the attitude of Wanli to calm down the people, and under the prince's humble and filial piety and happy attitude of the family. Although this case did attract everyone's attention as the intention of the people behind the scenes, the ending was beyond everyone's expectations. Unexpectedly calmed down.
The three parties that got rid of the troubles united here, gathered their strength, and continued to storm the Donglin Party, and the people of Donglin who were in decline seemed to be unable to resist and retreated completely, and in the following years, their power in the court was almost all swept away, except for one or two of them who were desperately thin, as the eyes and ears of the position.
And Wanli in the deep palace, I don't know what the reason is, seems to be happy to see it, just watching the actions of the three parties, and letting the Donglin Party be swept away. Even, he added a force to tell Donglin to get out of the way as soon as possible. Perhaps, in the case of the striking, he smelled something.
The first of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty came to an end, and what disappeared with him was the political life of the Donglin Party in the Wanli Dynasty. The situation calmed down, and Zhu Changluo, who was in Ciqing Palace, also breathed a sigh of relief, he had a hunch that no one would seem to come to him for trouble in the future.
%22 just, I don't know what will happen to the school. %22 looked at the weathered military building, and he couldn't help but show a hint of concern.
%22Huh? %22 Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and when he looked intently, he saw four small figures looking left and right, sneaking into the guard's station. That cautious appearance is like a thief who picks the lock at the door. What is strange is that the guards guarding the door do not stop it, and it seems that it is not strange.
After carefully identifying it, Zhu Changluo, as a father, quickly recognized that those small figures were his only surviving sons and three daughters.
%22When did their relationship get so good? %22 Zhu Changluo smiled and shook his head, the children are all older.
%22That's fine, that's fine. %22 He sighed with emotion and turned back to Ciqing Palace with his hands behind his back.
%22Brother Taisun, Brother Taisun! %22Seeing that no one noticed him, Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Huiyuan took their two younger sisters and slipped in through the side doors. The familiarity of entering one's own door made the guards watching from the side roll their eyes.
As soon as she entered the door and saw the familiar figure sweating, Zhu Huiyuan shouted, raised her hands, and ran over. The children are simple, she will not understand the tense relationship between her mother and brother, in her opinion, Zhu Youxiao is her own brother, and he gives her delicious food, which is very good to her, and this is enough.
%22 amount. %22 Zhu Youxiao, who was interrupted by shouting, was stunned for a moment, and soon saw Zhu Huiyuan who was running towards him, he smiled, put down the slender and sharp Miao knife in his hand, opened his hands, and caught the little girl who pounced.
%22Brother, brother, I'm here to see you. %22The little girl rubbed affectionately in his arms, screaming happily. Zhu Youzhen also trotted over later, and when he saw him, he saluted respectfully and shouted, %22 Brother Zhu Youzhen has seen Brother Taisun. %22His serious appearance like a little adult made people laugh when he looked at it.
After putting down Zhu Huiyuan, Zhu Youxiao pinched his fleshy cheek playfully, %22 My brother, you don't need to be so polite, you are so polite, don't come in the future. %22
These words made Zhu Youzhen stunned, and he was stained with Zhu Youxiao's light, and he would accept the teachings of the bachelors from time to time and know some etiquette and righteousness. Zhu Youxiao's words were extremely inconsistent with the Confucian education he received on weekdays, but what he couldn't say made his heart warm.
A warm stream of heat flowed back and forth in his heart, making his eyes reddened slightly. He lowered his head and covered it up slightly: %22 brother%2C brother Chen%22 He was a little choked with emotion.
Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression, Zhu Youxiao was stunned, why didn't he expect that just a word of concern would make him like this. How lacking love this child usually is!
%22Okay, okay, big man, cry what to cry! If you are foolish, go and bring them something to eat. %22 scolded lightly, and Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Liu Ruoyu who was waiting next to him and ordered. At this time, he was the only one waiting by his side, and the other two were driven outside by him to run errands.
%22 Yes, sir. %22
Soon, under Liu Ruoyu's greeting, tables, chairs and benches, dried fruit preserves and seasonal fruits were served, and a dazzling array of snacks filled the entire table. Looking at these tempting foods, the eyes of several children were straight, Zhu Huiyuan was the most exaggerated, and at the corner of her mouth, a trace of water could be faintly seen. Zhu Youzhen was the most fun, glanced at the food, showed a greedy look, and then quickly reined in, and whispered silently%22 I am a man, I am a man. %22
But I couldn't resist the temptation of snacks, and looked over after chattering. This goes back and forth three or four times, and it makes people laugh when they look at it. On the contrary, the two little girls who did not speak just now are more normal.
It's not that they're not greedy, but they seem to know more about the rules of etiquette. Both came together, a blessing and a gift: %22 sister has seen Brother Taisun, thank you Brother Taisun for your hospitality. %22
The two little girls are quiet and delicate, and they seem to be older than the eighth daughter Zhu Huiyuan. The white and clean little face looks extremely cute, the fine pigtails are tangled together on the head, forming a cute hairstyle, and there is a bunch of loose straight hair on the back of the head, which looks very ladylike.
The other one is smaller, about the same size as Zhu Huiyuan, and she seems to be quite shy, but when she said such a sentence to her brother, her face turned red, and her face was flushed with a little baby fat, reaching the root of her ears, like a red apple, which made people want to take a bite.
At first, Zhu Youxiao also thought that their mother had taught them well, but after carefully looking at the clothes on the two of them, he didn't think so. The palace skirts worn by the two little girls were a little discolored because of the pulp, and at first glance, they knew that they had not been changed for many years.
%22 I'm afraid their life in Ciqing Palace is not easy. %22 Zhu Youxiao thought a little gloomy in his heart, it was not that they wanted to know the rules so well, but that reality made them like this.
%22 The two sisters are polite, and it is also my brother, who doesn't know the names of the two sisters. %22 Zhu Youxiao asked softly, for fear that a big movement would scare these two poor people.
%22No wonder the royal brother, my sister has only seen the imperial brother for the second time. %22After the quiet little girl said politely, she introduced herself, %22 sister Xingwu, named Zhu Huiyan, whose mother is a lady Fu. %22
%22Hmm%22When it was the turn of the shy little girl, she didn't seem to dare to speak, she lowered her head, her fingers kept curling the corners of her clothes, and her body was slightly sideways, hiding half of it behind the quiet girl.
%22 Brother Huang, she is my sister, Xingliu, named Zhu Huijing, she is so natural that she is afraid of people and does not like to speak. I hope the royal brother will not be surprised. %22 Zhu Huiyan hurriedly explained, for fear that Brother Taisun would be angry.
%22It's okay, they're all brothers and sisters, don't be too restrictive. %22 Zhu Youxiao waved his hand absently. He's a lot old, how can he be angry with a little girl.
%22 Yu'er (Jian'er) thanked her brother for his hospitality. %22At this time, the two little people who were patronizing and staring at the snacks seemed to react, and hurriedly came over to greet and thank them.
%22Okay, don't be polite, just feel free to come to me. %22 He said this repeatedly, and finally let the two little girls who came here for the second time relax, Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Huiyuan didn't feel anything, they came here more often, and they were already familiar with it, but it was only because there were two unfamiliar sisters who came with them that they were polite.
%22Alright, go eat it. %22 Looking at a few greedy little faces, Zhu Youxiao didn't hang them anymore, and waved his hand to let them pass.
%22 Oh! %22 Zhu Huiyuan, who was the most lively by nature, immediately cheered when she heard this, and ran towards the food table. The children in the back also ran over in the same way, even the most shy and afraid of people, Zhu Youxiao's warm words made her let down all her guards and bloomed the innocent nature of a child.
Looking at their cheerful appearance, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile slightly, and his mood was a lot happier.
Wang Chengen next to him was also happy when he saw his smile≡ since several princes and princesses often came here to play, the master's smile was much more normal. In the past, it was either a serious face and a bitter hatred, or a strange smile that meant something inexplicably frightening.
It's still cute now.
If Zhu Youxiao knew that Wang Chengen next to him was slandering him like this, he would definitely spurt out a mouthful of old blood. Brother is so old, you can describe it as cute.
Looking at this cheerful scene, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that the slackness and laziness in his heart were swept away, and his heart was full of motivation, and he began to practice martial arts diligently. The movements at hand were much calmer and more powerful than just now.
In the days that followed, the four little ones ran here at dawn, playing and jumping around with him, stretching their instincts to the fullest, and eating directly at him without even going back for lunch. And in Ciqing Palace, it doesn't seem to be in a hurry, so he just lets them go crazy here.
In this case, Zhu Youxiao would not send someone over there to inquire, so he naturally entertained his younger brothers and sisters. Watching the little ones bounce around and be full of energy, he can feel comfortable all day long. When you practice martial arts, you are more patient.
He is talented in martial arts, and at this moment, he has learned almost everything he should have learned, and the rest is to hone and endure by himself. Practicing something familiar every day almost exhausted his patience. But when the little ones came, looking at their cheerful appearance, he was able to calm down again and hone his martial arts.
That's one of the reasons why he welcomes them so much. What's more, the arrival of a few little guys has added a bit of fresh breath to his place, how can he hate it!
