Although Zhu Er said that he used a rolling word, of course the old salted fish would not take it seriously, and immediately greeted him with a smile, but regardless of Zhu Er, who was being pestered by Xiaohua and begging for intercession, he came straight to Zhang Shou and Zhu Er. It was only after Zhu Tingfang arrived yesterday that he learned that the so-called Second Prince of Qi was actually the Second Prince of Zhu, the second son of Zhao Guogong and one of the top children of the capital nobles.

However, compared to Zhu Er, who seems to be a human and a dog, but actually talks and does things sometimes stupidly, sometimes magically; Compared with the extraordinary identity, but the scar on his face shows a bit of fierceness Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Mingwei General Zhu Tingfang; compared to the prince who is called the prince, but has a hateful face because of his indulgence in lust and oppression of the people; On the contrary, he felt that the handsome young man in front of him was even more extraordinary.

What's more, he had already recognized that the cold young man had patronized his shop at this time, and immediately asked with a smile: "May I ask ...... childe?"

Although Zhu Er was irritable by the little peanut, when he heard the words of the old salted fish, he still rushed in front of Zhang Shou and said: "This is my brother-in-law......" But when he saw Zhang Shou's smiling eyes, he quickly changed his words: "This is my teacher, Dr. Zhang, Guozijian, but he is also my future brother-in-law!" "It's originally a brother-in-law, is it possible that Zhang Shou still dares not to admit it?

Not to mention that the little peanut suddenly forgot to continue to grind and beg Zhu Er to intercede, even the old salted fish was shocked. Zhu Er's teacher? But is he still his future brother-in-law? This generation doesn't seem right! can think that royal marriages have never been about seniority, and it is expected that the circle of Guijie's children is the same, and the old salted fish is still in awe of Zhang Shou.

To be able to become a doctor of Guozi at such a young age, I think he is a very knowledgeable person!

So, he immediately said politely: "Dr. Zhang, disrespectful and disrespectful." You are coming in and please ...... Uh, no, let's find another quiet place, there are too many kinds of pickled and dried sea fish in my shop, the taste is too big, don't smoke a noble person like you! ”

Zhang Shou saw Zhu Er's eyebrows raised, and an annoyed expression appeared on his face, as if he wanted to say-I also come and go here with you, why aren't you afraid of burning me? He just didn't see Zhu Er's resentment that was like substance, and he smiled and bowed his head slightly.

"I heard that in the past, when the country was short and salt was monopolized, Emperor Taizu couldn't help coastal fishermen pickled salted fish for sale? Therefore, this salted fish may be a little more delicious, but it has really benefited many people, which is really virtuous. ”

Hearing that Zhang Shou actually mentioned the salt industry because of salted fish, and praised Taizu for his virtue, the old salted fish smiled so that the wrinkles on his face seemed to stretch - compared to the initial smile that was a little fake, his smile at this time was obviously much more sincere, and the words he said were also a little embarrassed and melancholy.

"Yes, many people couldn't afford salt at that time, but a salted fish was really enough salt for an adult for several days...... And Emperor Taizu said that the monopoly of salt and iron was only for a while, and it was indeed done as it was done, and it was abolished in a few years. It would be good if such a good emperor could live a long life, and there would be no turmoil and strife in the next 100 years. ”

This kind of topic is often talked about by Zhu Er when he is in the capital. Praising Taizu seems to be the favorite thing for Xungui's children to do, so he was quite speculative with Lao Xianyu before. At this time, he echoed without thinking: "That is, if it weren't for the good foundation laid by Emperor Taizu, and the next few emperors would have ruined the country like that, we would have died early in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Although Grandpa Yingzong and Grandpa Ruizong are also strongmen, it's a pity that Grandpa Yingzong doesn't have a good son, and our Grandpa Ruizong's reign is too short! Grandpa Yingzong reigned for 16 years, worked diligently, and prospered in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to resist his losers. The grandfather of the first emperor Ruizong was even more strong, and he promoted a bunch of talents with his discernment, which is why there is a peaceful life today. ”

Among them, my family's father who has made great achievements in war was promoted!

Zhang Shou now knows that there is not a single son left of Yingzong, most of them died fighting for the throne, and the only remaining king left a son like the heir and the king, and the heir and the king have a son-in-law and two concubines, and the most valued son-in-law Zheng Huaien has now even lost his clan name, so the decline of Yingzong's lineage can naturally be imagined.

In contrast, although Emperor Ruizong said that only one of the two sons survived, the emperor had four sons, the eldest and the second were not angry, and there were still the third and fourth sons behind. What's more, the emperor is still young, and there may be more princes born in the future. Even if you don't look at this, no one is worried about what will happen to people today, who are as honest as quails.

Therefore, when he heard Zhu Eryou talking about Yingzong and Ruizong by Emperor Taizu, there was both regret and complacency in his tone, so he pretended to glance at the old salted fish casually, and saw that the person's face was as usual, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and the smile seemed to have a trace of indescribable weirdness.

As a result, his suspicion of the old man was seven or eight points, but at this time it skyrocketed to ten points.

When it comes to Emperor Taizu, he is extremely respectful and agrees, and when it comes to the two generations of emperors of Yingzong Ruizong, who are now recognized as quite virtuous, they don't think so, this old salted fish that seems to only be pickled is definitely problematic!

Xiao Peanut is young, and he really doesn't know much about the things that are too far away for the emperor and generals, and he can't understand why the old salted fish didn't mention Xian Yunhe's business, but he said something else at that point, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

However, although he didn't understand what kind of official this Dr. Zhang was, and why he was Zhu Ergongzi's teacher and brother-in-law, he understood at least one thing. That is, this good-looking, gentle and amiable son is likely to speak more effectively than Zhu Ergongzi!

Therefore, he immediately gave up Zhu Er decisively without thinking about it, turned his head and went straight to Zhang Shou, gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground, wanting to hug that thigh. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found that there was a sudden emptiness in front of him, and when he looked again, Zhang Shou had been dragged behind by the cold young man next to him, and the cold young man was looking at him with fierce eyes.

At that moment, he even had the illusion that people were weighing which side of the mouth was more palatable to him.

Although he was trembling with fright, Little Peanut still tried his best to say, "Dr. Zhang, please save Uncle Yunhe!" He is the nephew of his uncle, and he was also forced to a dead end, so he gathered everyone to do things! He said that he hoped that the situation here in Cangzhou could reach the heavens, he was not for rebellion, he just hated it so much that he beat the eldest prince. ”

Zhang Shou was taken aback. The guy who led a group of unemployed workers and cotton farmers to rebel actually beat the eldest prince? Zhu Yi and Zhu Tingfang hadn't mentioned it before! Do they all think it's not important? I'm afraid not, the Zhu family probably thinks that people are doing too much and hurting the royal face, so they have a headache there......

Although Xiao Peanut's voice trembled slightly, because it was not Zhu Tingfang who looked majestic in front of him, he insisted until he finished what he just said. But he found that the cold young man in front of him had no intention of getting out of the way, and the old salted fish didn't say anything, and Zhang Shou was silent and didn't say anything, he couldn't help but gradually despair.

I don't know how long it took him to hear the old salted fish sigh deeply: "I only have one sister and only this one nephew, of course I hope he lives well." But before Yunhe did such a big thing, why didn't he discuss it with me? He should know, no matter what the reason, just what he did was enough for him to drop his head a few times! Alas, little peanut, get up, don't be embarrassed. ”

"I ......"

Little Peanut's eyes suddenly turned a little red, but when he couldn't help wiping his tears, he saw an extra hand in front of him. When he looked again, he saw that it was the young man he felt as if he was very indifferent just now and stretched out his hand to him. Although there was still no smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel that the other party was a little amiable. And then he heard another word.

"Ah Liu came to Cangzhou once a few days ago. On that occasion, the houses of several spinners were burned. He happened to be passing by and rescued two people, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse later. ”

Seeing that Little Peanut looked up at him when he heard the sound, Zhang Shou smiled at him and said: "Ah Liumian is cold and hot-hearted, in fact, he is the most impatient and righteous chivalrous character." As for what you said, neither I nor Zhu Erlang can guarantee help, after all, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, but I can clearly say that if your Uncle Yunhe can't escape the national law, the eldest prince can't escape either. ”

"Huh?"

This time, it was not only Lao Salted Fish who was shocked, but also Zhu Er. Zhu Er couldn't help but shout: "Even if the emperor doesn't like the eldest prince very much, will he really punish him for the affairs of Cangzhou?" ”

"Don't forget that the second prince has been punished with canes twice from the end of last year to the beginning of this year." Zhang Shou smiled and stretched out two fingers, and then said casually, "You can't punish the doctor, you can't pay the courtesy, this sentence Emperor Taizu once refuted it with 'the prince violates the law and the people are guilty of the same crime'." Zheng Huaien, the son of the previous heir and the king, was not only beaten by the board, but also lost his clan status. ”

Seeing that Little Peanut bit his lip and was very disapproving, he said lightly: "Nobles are different from civilians, if they are tortured, it is equivalent to losing face; If you lose your clan status, you will have no chance to turn over in the future. After all, even if it was Shang Ying back then, because the prince broke the law, it was just a punishment for the Taifu, and it was not as good as my Chao Taizu. ”

The old salted fish suddenly nodded and agreed: "Indeed, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a person who has been guilty of bullying the common people because of the princes and nobles, and even if he is guilty, it is just a servant receiving the crime. Our court's treatment of the guilty kings and grandsons is the most just in the history of all dynasties. ”

Little Peanut was curious about how the indifferent young man in front of him, Ah Liu, could save people and where the people he saved were, but when he heard the words of the old salted fish, he was speechless to the extreme. Uncle, who the hell are you helping!

And Zhu Er looked at Zhang Shou, and then looked at the old salted fish, there was always an illusion that the two were playing double reeds.

Zhang Shou also felt that the old salted fish was a little too much, as if he knew his tendency and touted it. So, he decisively stopped the topic, and then said in a deep voice: "The drawings of the textile machine before were dedicated to the emperor by me, and the prototype was also made by me." And the eldest prince came to Cangzhou because he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Jiangnan to promote, and the emperor couldn't help but plead, so he used Cangzhou as a test field. ”

These news are all inside stories that ordinary people like Lao Salted Fish and Little Peanut can't get, and the two of them have different faces for a while. If you want to say that you hate the maker of the machine, the old salted fish is old and experienced, so he will not be so extreme, and the little peanut has a good impression of Zhang Shou because of his preconceived ideas, plus he is in a complicated mood at the moment, as soon as the old salted fish dragged him, he stopped talking.

"So after the emperor heard about the Cangzhou incident, he was heartbroken, knowing that other people might not be able to control the eldest prince, so he appointed General Mingwei." Zhang Shou never mentioned that this was his recommendation, and then said lightly, "And because there are ministers who directly admonish him in person, pointing out that the great prince is guilty, the emperor has promised to deal with it strictly according to the law and will never tolerate it." ”

Is it a big crime to have a minister who directly admonishes the prince in person? Wang Datou is not here, who is so black-faced? Zhu Er couldn't help but be startled, and immediately after, he heard a crisp laugh. He subconsciously followed the prestige, and saw a young man in a green shirt riding a horse with a happy face appeared in front of him. With just one look, he couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Yingying, you wear this men's outfit...... It's better to dress up as usual! Think about your face, which is still glamorous even if you don't apply grease powder, even if you transform into a man, it will attract countless eyes......

Zhang Shou just felt that Zhu Tingfang was still angry because of Zhu Ying's audacity to put forward conditions, so Zhu Ying forced the emperor to promise to punish the eldest prince, he didn't say it explicitly, and vaguely used the word Zhengchen. But he really didn't expect that Zhu Ying, the "Zhengchen", not only came, but also came so quickly, and even magically came here with him!

So, before anyone could get closer, he glared at Ah Liu. is usually deaf and clear-sighted, but once you meet Zhu Ying, you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, immediately become a traitor, and help her with everything! Maybe Ah Liu left a mark on the road!

Ah Liu still looked at Zhang Shou with very innocent eyes. The marriage contract of the fingertips, such a noble but good-tempered fiancée, if I didn't give her a little bit, people would have run away because of your cold face and strange temper at the beginning, young master! Besides, my current "Yulu" ...... That was also given by the Zhu family, and the Wu lady in the family still relied on this money to support the family!

Zhu Ying didn't notice Zhang Shou and Ah Liu's eyes, and after coming up briskly, she didn't reveal that the so-called Zhengchen was herself, but coughed lightly and said, "The family is not at ease, so I brought Zhu Hong and them over again." In this way, there is no need to go to the labor camp without anything. The old men of those soldiers are quite big, and their father and grandmother said that Du Heng is not easy to deal with. ”

Ah Liu immediately nodded: "General Du has a very strange temper. ”

Zhu Ying nodded again and again, and the rest, including Zhang Shou, were sweating profusely. You still say that people have a weird temper? Can you blame it?

Zhang Shou saw that the old salted fish and the little peanut were peeking at Zhu Ying, so he could only hand over the person to Zhu Er, and let the second brother explain to her the origin and some ins and outs of the old and the young, and then said to the old salted fish casually: "In this way, you take me to find a workshop for the new textile machine at home, and we can say it on the road if we have something to say." ”

He thought about it, and finally explained Zhu Ying's identity one more sentence: "This is the sister of General Mingwei and Zhu Erlang, the daughter of Zhao Guogong, and my fiancée." ”
