The Imperial Palace, the main hall. Emperor Hongwu was reprimanding Zhu Yunxi again.

This time, Zhu Yunxi didn't feel sad or embarrassed, her mind was full of her seriously ill aunt, she had no intention of studying, and she didn't care about any gains and losses.

When Emperor Hongwu saw his grandson's stubborn and unrepentant appearance, he became more and more disappointed and walked away.

Zhu Yunxi silently cleaned up the pen and ink on the desk, and Zhu Yunxi came in.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Big brother! Take me out of the palace, I want to go to the Tao to see my aunt. ”

Zhu Yunwen touched his brother's head and sighed, "I'm about to get married, and I have a lot to prepare." In this case, I will send my henchmen to escort you to visit your aunt. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and Zhu Yunxi advised: "After going to the Taoist temple, help my aunt to walk more in the garden, relax, don't always be bored in the house." I have a few new travelogues from the bookstore here to give her to relieve her boredom, but don't mention me, just say that you sent them. ”

Zhu Yunxi wondered, "But it's obviously sent by the eldest brother, why do you want me to lie and deceive my aunt?" ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at his younger brother's eyes without a trace of dirt, and said: "I am about to get married, and after all, there is a difference between men and women with my aunt, if some gossip is spread, I am afraid it will disturb her recuperation." ”

In terms of fame, Chang Jin is Zhu Yunwen's aunt. But in terms of blood, the two have nothing to do with each other.

It was impossible for Zhu Yunxi to think about the two people he believed in and relied on the most in the most unspeakable direction, and said angrily: "Those people have dirty hearts and evil intentions, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will pull out their tongues and cut them with a thousand knives." ”

Zhu Yunxi left the palace, and Zhu Yunxi's heart also flew to the Taoist temple with his younger brother. He really wanted to see Chang Jin, even if he looked at him from a distance, but Chang Jin didn't want to see him, and forced him with his life, saying that the next reunion would be when she died!

Zhu Yunwen will never forget the shocking scene when she took Chang Jin out of the blood water, Chang Jin, who had lost too much blood, was as light as a feather, her face was white and scary, her body was as cold and hard as a zombie, and she could barely feel her breath.

At that time, he was desperate and felt that he had lost her.

The subordinates controlled the stunned little Daogu, and invited a doctor overnight to hide the truth. The next day, Hibiscus woke up briefly, closed his eyes when he saw his face, and said angrily: "I hate you, I hate myself, let's go, don't torture me anymore." ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "Don't do stupid things anymore, death won't solve anything." ”

Chang Jin's eyes were still closed, "The day you and I meet, it will be the time when I die." ”

Zhu Yunwen had to leave.

In the early summer of the first bloom of the new lotus, the eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen got married and married the daughter of Ma Quan, the servant of the princess who was rumored to be a member of the Ma Queen clan.

Ma's ten miles of red makeup, the scenery and scenery married into the East Palace. On Cornucopia Street, the car that greets the relatives is like a giant dragon without its head and tail, and the "dragon head" is the groom official Zhu Yunwen who rides a white horse and wears a big red leather dress.

The people who watched the ceremony surrounded both sides of the road, and Zhu Yunwen's eyes fell on the crowd, and he never saw the woman he was expecting.

Zhu Yunwen laughed at herself: How could she come? It's wishful thinking.

Chang Jin, who was already dressed as a Taoist aunt, sat in the teahouse, the window was half-closed, and the tea in front of her had not moved at all, and it was already cold.

Zhu Yunwen rode a horse past the teahouse, she didn't lean in to look, just sat quietly in place, listening to the hustle and bustle outside, and the music of the teacher playing the festive "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" floated to her ears.

The bustle outside has nothing to do with her.

When Zhu Yunxi went to see Chang Hibiscus again, the lotus flowers in the Taoist pond were already half blooming, dragonflies were flying among them, and Chang Hibiscus was fishing on a lotus picking boat, wearing a jade bracelet on her left wrist to hide the scar on her wrist.

Zhu Yunxi babbled and spoke, "...... The sister-in-law is easy-going and very talented, sometimes the eldest brother plays the piano, and she can use the flute to harmonize it, like flying out of the sky. ”

Chang Jin looked at the buoy on the water, "Oh, that's good." ”

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Recently, there is a doctor who diagnoses the pulse of the sister-in-law three times a day, Concubine Lu personally asks about the sister-in-law's meal, the eldest brother has slept in the study for the past few days, it is rumored that the sister-in-law is pregnant, and the good news will be made public after three months." ”

A dragonfly landed on the buoy, and a shallow ripple spread out in a circle, scaring away the fish that almost bit the hook.

Chang Jin looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist, the old scar seemed to ache faintly, and said lightly: "Your sister-in-law is very blessed, and she will open her branches and leaves in the first month of entering the door." ”

Zhu Yunxi handed over a few books, "This is what I bought to relieve my aunt's boredom." ”

Chang Jin glanced at the cover, "Another travelogue?" Take it back along with the previous travelogue.,It's written in the same way.,I've been annoyed to read these lately.。 ”

Zhu Yunxi asked, "What does my aunt like to watch?" I'll buy it again. ”

Chang Jin said: "No, I went to the street to buy it myself, and I walked around, which was quite interesting." ”

Zhu Yunxi saw that her aunt's face was a little bloody, and she was in a good mood, so she hurriedly asked again, "When does my aunt plan to return to the East Palace?" I'll pick you up. ”

Chang Jin looked at his nephew with an expectant look, couldn't bear to tell the truth, and said perfunctorily: "When the summer passes, I will go to Haining to watch the tide, see the beautiful scenery of the bright moon on the sea, and then set off for Yunnan." Your second uncle wrote to say that Yunnan is not a place of smoke and miasma as rumored, where the four seasons are like spring, which is the most suitable for winter, and it is also good for my body, so I will return to the East Palace at least until the next year. ”

By the time of next year, there will naturally be new reasons to prevaricate.

In two years, Zhu Yunxi will also say goodbye, and Chang Jin will not have to enter the East Palace at that time.

Thinking that he couldn't see his aunt for more than half a year, Zhu Yunxi couldn't hold back the disappointment in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Grandpa Huang also said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books. And the second uncle, I will prepare some gifts, and my aunt will bring them to him for me. ”

Zhu Yunxi was so sensible and filial, Chang Jin felt even more guilty, and said in a low voice: "Okay, a letter to the family every ten days, don't dislike your aunt and be verbose." If your aunt is not around, you should take good care of yourself, especially when you study in the main hall and listen to the lectures of Confucianism such as Song University Scholars. I know that the emperor is strict with you, and often screws you out to take school homework, you don't care too much about the gains and losses overnight, in short, God rewards hard work, and the emperor can see your progress......"

Zhu Yunxi responded one by one, stayed in the Taoist temple and had dinner with his aunt before hurrying back to the East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen waited for his younger brother under the lamp, pointed to a guqin and said, "This is the guqin of the Song Dynasty, I have personally repaired it in the past few days, debugging the strings, you give it a try." ”

Zhu Yunxi's piano skills were opened by Zhu Yunxi himself, he tried a few tones, and his voice was far away, a rare good piano.

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Zhu Yunxi played the song "Wine Mania", Zhu Yunxi looked at the bright moon outside the window, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked: "I went to see my aunt today, is she in good health?" ”

Zhu Yunxi said while playing the piano: "Auntie is very good, I accompanied her to fish, and the whole fish banquet we ate at night was caught by us personally, and my aunt also stored tea leaves in lotus flowers, made lotus tea, and wrapped two cans for me." Big brother, remember to take a can when you go. ”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the tea cans on the table, "Since it's all for you, why give it to me." ”

Zhu Yunxi said: "Auntie must have forgotten to tell me, since I was a child, everything I have, my eldest brother also has a share, when did she treat you badly?" Big brother, you seem to have been separated from us recently, could it be because you have a sister-in-law? ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "You think about it too much, I'll take the tea, you practice the piano well, don't let down such a good guqin." ”

Zhu Yunxi fled with a jar of lotus tea, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Zhu Yunxi remembered something and said, "Big brother, don't buy any more travelogues." ”

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Okay, then I'll buy some fresh scripts." ”

Zhu Yunxi said: "Don't buy it - my aunt is going to go on a trip and will come back next year." ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, she was not traveling, she was saying goodbye.

Zhu Yunwen returned to the study in despair, his wife Ma came to meet him, Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised, and stopped, "Why are you here?" ”

The study is heavy, and no one is allowed to approach, even the mother-in-law Concubine Lu does not dare to trespass.

Ma Shi gave a salute, "Xianggong, I came here with supper, and they said that you went out, so I waited for you in the study." ”

Zhu Yunwen helped Ma up, "You are heavy, don't come out at night, just ask the palace people to send it." ”

Ma Shi had the shyness of a newlywed woman on his face, and said: "The younger brothers who read at night have already sent someone to send them over, you are my father-in-law, I want to come in person." ”

Ma's work, etiquette and human affection are not leaky, and he is born to help him.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and didn't answer.

Ma couldn't figure out this pillow person, and the woman's intuition told her that her husband had something on her mind, and most of this was related to □□, and from the day she diagnosed Ximai, Zhu Yunwen slept in the study.

Originally, Ma thought that her husband was "hiding in the golden house" in the study, so she found a reason to break into the study, and secretly wanted to be a magnanimous and virtuous wife, and help her husband take this beauty as a concubine, as long as she didn't give birth to a son in front of her, everything else was easy to say.

But don't talk about beauties, the study is so clean that there is not even a picture of a beauty!

There is no golden house to hide Jiao, Ma Shi said tentatively: "The imperial doctor said that the fetus is stable, and Xianggong can move back from the study." ”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to be very happy, "Great, early tomorrow morning, we will go to the queen mother to tell the good news, this is the first great-grandson, and the four generations will be in the same house in the future, and the emperor and queen will be very happy." You go back to rest early, and I'll go back to my room after reading a book for a while. ”

After sending Ma away, Zhu Yunwen's face became gloomy, "Who is on duty in the study tonight?" ”

A eunuch trembled and said, "It's a slave." The princess of the county had to go into the study, but the slave couldn't stop her. ”

Zhu Yunwen didn't even look at the eunuch, and said lightly: "The rod is killed." ”

Before the eunuch could beg for mercy, he was dragged down with his mouth covered and killed with a rod.

When Ma returned to the room, he immediately smiled and instructed his henchmen: "Go and inquire, where did the prince of the county come back from?" Who gave him a tea caddy in his hand? He was reluctant to give it to the eunuch when he helped me up. ”

"Yes." The maid should come down.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen really promised to move back from the study, Ma Shi looked in the mirror, chose an impeccable smile, and greeted the person next to the pillow on his face.

After a long absence, it is better to be newly married, and love for one night, there is no need to elaborate.

The next day, the young couple went to Queen Ma to report the good news, and the four generations were about to be in the same house, and Queen Ma was really happy and rewarded a lot of tonic medicinal materials.

Zhu Yunwen went to the imperial study to accompany Emperor Hongwu, Ma returned to the East Palace, and the maid said in a low voice: "The slave maid inquired clearly, last night the county king came from the study of the king of Guangze County, and the king of Guangze went to see the eldest lady of the Chang family yesterday, took back two cans of tea, and divided a jar of the county king. ”

The king of Guangze is Zhu Yunxi's title.

Ma secretly thought to himself: The eldest lady of the Chang family is determined not to marry for life, take care of the lord of Guangze to grow up, and win the respect of the emperor and queen. Before getting married, my father repeatedly told me to respect this old lady well, but she had just married into the East Palace, and this old lady went to the Taoist temple to live alone due to illness, and I didn't have a chance to meet, maybe I should go and meet this elder in person......

Ma prepared a generous gift and went to the Taoist to watch the elders, who knew that when the people went to the empty building, Chang Jin had already traveled all over the world.

City God's Temple Night Market. Zhu Gaochi rode on Xu Zengshou's neck, and the eight-year-old boy was like an iron tower, so tired that Xu Zengshou was covered with sweat.

Xu Zengshou said: "Good nephew, can you come down and go by yourself?" You are Leifeng Tower, and your uncle is the hard-working white snake spirit, who is pressed under you and can't turn over! ”

Riding on his uncle's neck, he has a wide field of vision, and the bustling and lively night market can be seen at a glance, Zhu Gaochi is at the time of the greatest playfulness, of course he refuses to come down, he flattered and stuffed the leftover half of the mutton skewer into Xu Zengshou's mouth, "Uncle eats meat, and when he is full, he will have strength." ”

Xu Zengshou dotes on his eldest nephew and is willing to give up his life, firstly because Zhu Gaochi looks similar to him, and secondly, because Zhu Gaochi has a sweet mouth and can coax people.

After nibbling on half a lamb skewer, Xu Zengshou was like eating Tang monk meat, and he was immediately refreshed.

Zhu Gaochi pointed to the jugglers who were jumping in the air like a bird in front of him, "Go over there!" The group of Goryeo rope walkers had already started the performance, just a rope, and they walked on it as if they were walking on the ground. ”

Xu Zengshou disagreed, "The Korean people are too vulgar to watch." ”

The children were lively there, and Zhu Gaochi said: "Scholar Song said that the Book of Poetry is elegant, why didn't my uncle listen to it?" ”

Xu Zengshou had to carry his nephew and squeeze into the crowd of onlookers. The group of Koreans still staged inexplicable burlesques, basically conspiring with traitors and favorite concubines to commit adultery, poisoning the king, setting up illegitimate children as the new king, monopolizing the court, fighting against dissent, fabricating charges, and wantonly killing loyal ministers.

Zhu Gaochi was fascinated, Xu Zengshou only cared about wiping oil and sweat, and the "favorite concubine" who was jumping and dancing on the rope in mid-air suddenly fell into the crowd, and it happened to press on the spectators next to Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou turned around and saw the artist wearing the mask of the favorite concubine take out a money bag and an ivory card from the spectator.

Zhu Gaochi, who was riding on Xu Zengshou's neck, exclaimed: "Uncle, this is your money bag and token." ”

Xu Zengshou's token is an ivory card that can pass through the palace, once lost, or this token falls into the hands of gangsters and mixes into the palace, the consequences are unimaginable!

The artist returned the things to Xu Zengshou, "I have seen the thief following you a long time ago, be careful when you come out with the child, there are traffickers who specialize in abducting children." 166 Reading Network
