Chapter 3: Admonition
A clear and bright voice interrupted the conversation between the county lord and Hu Shanxiang, and the county lord turned to look at the person who spoke.
found a little woman of the same age as Hu Shanxiang, standing next to a young man dressed in a big red python robe, with a pair of dark eyes looking at the county lord.
The county lord stepped forward and looked at the woman and the young man beside him quietly.
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel when you see the emperor's grandson? Do you want to be punished......
At this moment, Zuo Qinyun's figure appeared on the side of the county lord, making the little woman who originally wanted to blame the county lord swallow half of the words hidden in her throat.
"See...... See...... I've seen my father-in-law!"
Zuo Qinyun snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to the little girl, looked at the young man beside her, and nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, are you playing with crickets again?"
Zhu Zhanji snorted, looked at the county lord beside Zuo Qinyun and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know who this good-looking sister is, why haven't I seen you?"
"Presumptuous! You should call her aunt! ”
Zuo Qinyun looked at Zhu Zhanji angrily and said unceremoniously.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the county lord in surprise after hearing this, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Original..... It turned out to be ...... It's an aunt, Aunt Yunzhen, right? ”
The county lord smiled slightly.
"This is the first time we've met?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded fiercely.
"Yes aunt, I've heard my father talk about you before, it's just ...... I just haven't been able to get a chance to see you once. ”
The county lord asked curiously.
"Oh! I don't know what the prince says about me today. ”
Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and smiled.
"Daddy said that your grandparents are the best Aunt Yunzhen, and he said that he was also in Jinling when you were born, so he always loved to look at you, but unfortunately I rarely had the opportunity to see you again when I returned to Beijing."
The county lord sneered when he heard this.
"If you don't learn how to govern the country, where did you learn these words that deceive girls, my aunt won't be used here."
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Auntie can't say that about me, I didn't lie to aunt that she was happy, it's all the truth......
"Okay, tell me, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Zhanji beckoned, and several little eunuchs standing behind him hurriedly brought a few boxes and put them in front of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji was about to open the box with a proud face, and suddenly the county lord kicked the box he held in his hand with one foot and flew out, and with a 'squeak' sound, a mighty cricket instantly got into the grass next to it.
Zhu Zhanji shouted.
"Auntie, what are you doing! This is my greatest cricket! ”
The county lord looked at Zhu Zhanji, who bent down to find the cricket, and scolded sharply.
"Stand up and tell me what's your last name?"
Zhu Zhanji looked at the county lord suspiciously and angrily.
"Isn't that a nonsense to ask, Auntie? I'll call you, auntie, what do you say is my last name? Naturally, his surname is the same as yours! ”
"Knowing that my surname is Zhu, why do you still want to play with these ......?"
The county lord didn't finish a sentence, and the little girl who had been standing beside Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to be able to stand what the county lord was doing, so she directly interrupted the county lord's words.
"No matter who you are? Zhu Zhanji is already the emperor's grandson today, and if you are rude to him, you are despising the dragon power of the current saint......"
'Smack! ’
A crisp sound, it turned out that someone slapped the little girl in the face, and she quickly reached out to cover her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time, but she glared at the person who beat her viciously, but she didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.
"Are you the daughter of Sun Zhong's family?"
Zuo Qinyun looked at the little girl who was covering her mouth and asked softly.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"The lesson of Grandpa Shang is that she is still young and ignorant, you and your aunt don't worry about her, aunt!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at the county lord on the side as he spoke, looking pleading.
The county lord nodded, and Zuo Qinyun took two steps back.
"I don't care about her, but you Zhu Zhanji can't! As a descendant of the Zhu family, after you become the prince of the dynasty, how can you put a mind on this cricket, and if you ascend the throne in the future, will you still ask the ministers below to help you go to the corner of the Ming Dynasty to catch crickets? ”
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly defended.
"Auntie said laughing, I just have my spare time to fight crickets and play, and how can crickets be so terrible that they can be all the time, they are delicate and powerful only in autumn at the end of the agricultural season, where do I have a chance on weekdays?"
The county lord looked down at the boxes under his feet, stretched out his foot and kicked it a few times.
"So what's going on? It's just early spring, and you're a cricket. ”
"This?"
Zhu Zhanji was speechless for a while.
"Say!"
The county lord roared.
Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to ask for a clear explanation.
But it is said that the cricket cricket line is not only nowadays, but thousands of years of folk frolicking and joking people have long been popular entertainment, and then after more than a thousand years of evolution and change, it has long been mature, so there are some connoisseurs who have only a few months of life to extend the life of the cricket so that it can live to the turn of spring and summer of the next year, but this item has some costs, so it is not ordinary people who can afford to play crickets in early spring.
Zhu Zhanji as the grandson of the emperor, naturally there are indispensable people around him, when he was a young man to play, he guided him into the line of fighting crickets, I didn't expect him to play this is not stopped, every year just looking forward to the autumn equinox coming, and then those who have a heart found out about this matter and vigorously searched for treasure for Zhu Zhanji, so that he almost every year has crickets to fight, so Zhu Zhanji has been playing from a young man to death, this is a later story!
At the moment, Zhu Zhanji deliberately concealed something, only saying that this was the first time he played with crickets in early spring this year, and he would not dare to play greedily in the future, and he also begged his aunt to spare the remaining few crickets, and he would definitely study the book of sages in the future, and live up to his aunt's earnest teachings today.
After listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, the county lord raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Your aunt and I came here from you at this time, don't say it's the imperial brother, I even lied to your grandfather, do you think you said something good today, I will believe it?"
"It's burning!"
The county lord turned his back to Zhu Zhanji and snorted!
"Don't ......!"
Before Zhu Zhanji could stop it, Zuo Qinyun just lightly swiped his right hand in front of him, but the few sandalwood incense boxes under him had turned into powder, where could I still find the crickets inside.
"You?"
Zhu Zhanji glared at Zuo Qinyun angrily, and was speechless for a long time.
Zuo Qinyun nodded slightly.
"If Your Highness thinks that what I did is not appropriate, you can chase it out now and go to your imperial grandfather to sue me, if Your Highness thinks that what I did is okay, then listen to your aunt, go back and study hard, the peace in this world is not a fight of crickets, do you know?"
"...... me?"
Although Zhu Zhanji was angry in his heart, he also knew in his heart that even if he was the head of the East Factory in front of him, he had to give up three points, not to mention that with his aunt here today, he couldn't hurt his aunt's heart, so many words were choked in his heart.
"Father-in-law, don't blame Your Highness, if you want to say that there are more mistakes, in fact, those of us who accompany Your Highness, we did not stop Your Highness, but we still accompany him...... If Father-in-law rebukes the Holy Master, please punish me! ”
Zuo Qinyun and the county lord looked at Hu Shanxiang, who had been silent all along.
The county lord walked up two steps and stood in front of Hu Shanxiang, and carefully looked at the little girl.
"Hu Shanxiang? Do you know that this matter can be big or small, if you are small, you will be scolded if you don't understand the rules, and if you are big, you will be conniving at His Highness, ignoring the society, ignoring the people, and even causing chaos in the government, this is ...... This is a capital crime to destroy the Nine Clans. ”
Hu Shanxiang's body trembled slightly after hearing this, but he still replied stubbornly.
"The county lord is right, it's just ...... It's just that if Your Highness can get rid of this cricket's preference, I'm willing to ......."
The county lord shouted to stop it.
"That's it! You must know that those in power also do something and do nothing, he, Zhu Zhanji, as the grandson of the emperor of the East Palace, must have the importance of the society and the suffering of the people as soon as possible, and the people of the world are his foundation. ”
After the county lord finished speaking, a pair of eyes stared straight at Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a while and hurriedly bowed down to reply.
"What my aunt taught me is that my nephew has listened to it in my heart, and I must remember it!"
The county lord took a deep breath, a sudden pain in his chest, coughed incessantly in front of Zhu Zhanji, and even red blood hung on the corners of his mouth.
"County Lord!"
Fan Li'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of the county lord's mouth, and then tied the cloak on the county lord's body and wrapped her tightly.
"It's time for the county lord to go back!"
Zuo Qinyun whispered in the county lord's ear.
Zhu Zhanji was a little stupid for a while, why did his aunt, who was just fine, suddenly become sick and almost fell in front of him.
"Auntie, are you okay? Do you want me to ask the Imperial Doctor to help you take a look! ”
The county lord shook his head, and turned to leave with the help of Fan Li'er.
"Zhu Zhanji remembers my words, be a good emperor in the future, don't live up to the world, and ...... Stay away from this little girl next to you, but you can get closer to this Hu Shanxiang. ”
Then the county lord turned his eyes and glanced at the girl surnamed Sun next to Zhu Zhanji, and then looked at Hu Shanxiang for a long time with a smile on his face.
Hu Shanxiang smiled back and nodded slightly.
"Humph! It seems that he is dying, a person who should not have appeared, and suddenly appeared...... What a thing, huh! ”
The little girl beside Zhu Zhanji looked at the three county lords who were far away, and there was a burst of muttering and abuse in her mouth!
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth!
"Don't scold, be careful of slapping you again!"
This little girl remembered how could Zuo Qinyun's slap just now calm down, and said arrogantly: "You are the emperor's grandson!" You don't dare to go back when people beat me, I'm ...... I'm so uncomfortable, you're going to be close to her in the future, just like the damned county lord said? ”
When he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Hu Shanxiang three steps away with angry eyes.
Hu Shanxiang ignored it in his eyes, and walked straight to Zhu Zhanji to salute.
"Your Highness, you should remember the teachings of the county lord, after all, what she said is reasonable!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Hu Shanxiang and nodded with a smile but did not speak, and then a pair of eyes kept falling on the little girl beside him, Hu Shanxiang didn't say much in his eyes, so he retreated and left, not bothering.
