Lao Zhu is a wonderful, everyone wants family reunions for the New Year, but he wants to break people up alive. After driving Ma Du away, it was just to tell their godson that he would not need to have the surname Zhu in the future, and he could restore his original surname.

I don't know what the reaction of others is, but it is definitely a bolt from the blue for Mu Ying. Lao Zhu has so many righteous sons, but there are few who are really raised by Ma Dajia's side, Mu Ying is the youngest and has been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side for the longest time, and the relationship is naturally not comparable to other righteous sons.

"It is very important, and the middle palace loves him deeply" is enough to show the feelings of the old Zhu couple for him, when Ma Dajia and Zhu Biao died one after another, Mu Ying also used two mouthfuls of old blood to prove that he is indeed worthy of such feelings.

"There's nothing wrong with not having the surname Zhu, at least next year, when the New Year comes, I don't have to give you any more New Year's money, if it's a few hours earlier, I won't need it this year."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly, "When is it, Xuanzhong is still making fun of me about this matter." ”

Ma Du smiled: "It's really not called uncle?" ”

"Don't call it, and there will be no New Year's money after you call it."

"As long as you call, I will definitely pay it back next year. Although you don't have the surname Zhu anymore, you are still the child of the prince and the princess, so it's okay to call me uncle. ”

Ma Du patted Mu Ying's shoulder with a loving face, making Mu Ying cry and laugh.

Mu Ying ran to Ma Du to obviously ask for comfort, but at this time, she didn't say anything to comfort. Ma Du made a gag, but Mu Ying really didn't cry anymore, and seemed to have a lot of explanations.

Ma Du asked curiously, "By the way, is your family's surname Mu?" ”

Mu Ying said: "How do you know that the prince will give me the surname 'Mu'?" ”

"Well, the prince told me before."

Mu Ying put down the wine bowl, "It's right not to call your uncle full of firewood." ”

At the dinner table just now, Lao Zhu asked him his original surname, but he insisted on not saying it, and only said: "Bathing, father, queen mother, and concubine are as kind as heaven and earth." Lao Zhu took a "Mu" character as his surname, if Lao Zhu told Ma Du in advance, it would be a god.

Ma Du hated his quick mouth just now, and said with a haha: "Don't talk about this, let's go out and watch them put Kong Ming lanterns!" ”

After Mu Ying came, Song Shuang took her sisters down from the table. There were no fireworks, so Guan Jia made several Kong Ming lanterns.

When Ma Du pulled the drunk Mu Ying out, there was already a rise slowly rising into the air, which caused the surrounding loli to exclaim jubilantly. It's just that the Kong Ming lantern doesn't fly high, and the Kong Ming lantern follows wherever the little fish goes.

"Brother, come and see my Kong Ming lantern!" Xiao Yu'er walked up to her, and Ma Du saw that she was holding a ball of thin hemp rope in her hand.

"Why don't you tie it with a rope and don't let it fly away!"

Guan Jia replied: "Back to the master, the little ones are afraid that Kong Ming lanterns will fall in the city, and it will not be good if they burn down other people's houses during the New Year." So I connected the wire and tied the hemp rope on the top of the small one, so that it would not fly away. ”

After Guan Jia finished speaking, he continued to put Kong Ming lanterns, and after a while, everyone had one, even Song Shuang and Xu Xiaopei had them, and they were suspended in the sky above the courtyard one by one, not to mention that they were really good-looking.

Guan Jia was right, it was true that tying it with a rope would not burn other people's houses, but he didn't expect that it would be easy to burn his own house.

Kong Ming lantern is not a kite, but the little fish is pulling the rope and running around, a tilt Kong Ming lantern is on, falling on the roof of his house, thanks to the roof of his house is tiles, otherwise this must be a prosperous Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mu Ying didn't go home either, she sat in the hall and accompanied Ma Du to celebrate the New Year, and the two listened to Mu Ying chatter about the old things about living with Lao Zhu and his wife while drinking. It wasn't until the clock rang that the two fell asleep in the hall in a daze.

I don't know how long he slept, Ma Du only felt that someone was pushing him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Guan Jia, and he saw that his eyes were red and he didn't seem to have slept all night.

"Master, it's time for you to go to the court."

"How do you know?"

Guan Jia yawned, "Madame ordered her before going to bed, she said that she couldn't get up, so let the little one call you." ”

can't have too high requirements for Song Shuang, and being able to do this step can be regarded as virtuous.

Ma Du woke Mu Ying up, "It's not too early, it's time to go to the court!" ”

Mu Ying rubbed her head, "My head hurts!" ”

Can you not have a headache after drinking so much wine yesterday, in fact, Ma Du was also dizzy, so he simply asked the servant to go to Mu Ying's house to get the official robe, and the two washed their faces with cold water and ate some dumplings, and then went out together.

Not far from the palace, the two of them walked directly with a lantern, and the icy chill made their heads sober up a lot. Working for Lao Zhu is hard, and he has to go to work before dawn.

He thought that he and Mu Ying were early, but he didn't expect that at the main gate of the palace, there were already a lot of people here, yawning and stomping their feet one by one, and when they saw someone coming, they had to say "Congratulations on the New Year" whether they knew it or not.

"Come here!" Hearing Yuhe's voice in the dark, he must have seen the lantern that Ma Du was carrying.

Ma Du and Mu Ying followed the sound, and saw Tang He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang and others gathered together, and many of them he didn't recognize.

"You guys are here so early, Wen Ying and I wish you all a good New Year!"

Tang He waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, no one will give you New Year's money anyway." He suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "You both went to the palace yesterday?" ”

Ma Du and Mu Ying nodded in unison, "Go, what's wrong?" ”

Tang He asked, "What didn't the prince say to the two of you?" ”

Mu Ying smiled: "I said, and said that you used to peek at the widow's bath!" As soon as the words were finished, everyone burst into laughter, and Mu Ying inevitably had to be hit by the soup and kicked.

"It's not big or small, who asked you this. Didn't the prince tell you two about knighthood yesterday? ”

Ma Du and Mu Ying looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, yesterday Lao Zhu said a lot at the wine table, but he didn't mention half a word about the knighthood. But Ma Du knew that Lao Zhu had indeed given knighthoods to three other people in addition to Liao Yongan before the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, and they were all dukes.

Tang He suddenly asked, it must not be groundless, but Lao Zhu didn't say it himself, so Ma Du naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Tang He said again: "If the prince is knighted, the reward document must be drafted by Song Lian, he is your teacher, and when he comes, you can ask him." ”

This kind of mentality, Ma Du, who has received exam-oriented education, can understand it best, just like he is anxious to know the results after the exam, and he doesn't dare to ask the teacher, so he has to ask the classmates who are responsible for copying the transcripts.

Li Shanchang waved his hand, "Xuanzhong, don't ask, if there is a reward, if there is a reward, if there is, it will only take an hour or two at most, don't let others think that we Huaixi people can't hold their breath and have no backbone." ”

Tang He said angrily: "Even if you don't ask, anyway, I don't have my share of the old soup!" In the past few years, he has been guarding Changzhou, although it is a strategic place, but there is no opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but it is smaller than being hated by Lao Zhu.

He finally waited for the opportunity to attack Zhang Shicheng, but he didn't expect to be injured, speaking of which, it was not as great as the credit made by his son Tang Ding, so the knighthood naturally did not have his share.

Ma Du's heart suddenly jumped, and he remembered what Lao Zhu said to him when he was separated from Lao Zhu yesterday, "Remember to come to the court meeting, it will be your benefit." ”

Could it be that the knighthood also has my share?!
