There is a small pond in Ma's house, the radius is only two or three zhang, although the area is not large, but it is used with living water, there is a culvert connected to the river outside, and its practical is the water of the Qinhuai River.

Madu asked the pond to be dug deep and the silt cleared up as a temporary residence for Xiaobai. In such a big place, it's okay to raise a few lotus root koi, but if you want to settle down for Xiaobai, it seems a little small, but you can only temporarily wronged it.

"Lao Liu, how is the river worker you are looking for!" Ma Du held his daughter in one hand, took out a small fish from his hand with the other, and threw it into the pond.

Xiaobai twisted his body and opened his long mouth into his mouth, swallowing it directly into his stomach without even chewing. He enjoyed the fun game, waving his flag and slapping on the water, motioning for Madu to follow. Dongmei was very interested in the big fish in front of her, babbling and stretching out her hands to touch it.

Lao Liu replied: "River work is not a problem, the salary given by the lord is generous, and it is natural to recruit people, the housekeeper is in ten miles and eight townships, and thousands of people have been found, and there are people in the city who want to work." It's just that Hou Ye spends so much money for his pets, and he is afraid of being criticized! ”

Song Shuang also said: "What Lao Liu said is that he is more interested in a fish than his own daughter!" ”

"I told you a long time ago, it's not my pet or a fish, it's my friend, if it weren't for Xiaobai, I might have died in Poyang Lake! As for criticism, I'm not afraid, isn't the imperial court encouraging the reclamation of wasteland now, I just responded to the call of the imperial court, and prepared to transform the barren beach in front of the academy into a paddy field. ”

The muscles on Lao Liu's face twitched, so he couldn't collect the original after a hundred years of reclamation, and as for the commendation, there was no way, and the people in the household department were not blind.

"Giggles...... Song Shuang's smile bent over, "Husband is really different from others, eldest brother used to love to make friends the most, and there are people of all religions and nine ranks, but I have never heard of anyone who is friends with fish, I really laugh to death." ”

"I said, it's not a fish, it's my friend......" Ma Du looked at the intimate ** big fish with a little white head, and said in his heart: "Maybe only big fish can understand." ”

Early in the morning, Madu entered the city, and he did not go to the palace, nor to visit his old friends, but to find the Tuo Timur, now also called Shun Minggong.

On the second day after Tuo Timur arrived in Yingtian, Lao Zhu summoned him, not at the court meeting but in private, to give him face. It's just that I heard that Tuo Timur walked in by himself, but when he came out, his feet were weak and he was helped out by the eunuch, and he didn't have the slightest scar on his body, and he was scared, as for what happened inside, I'm afraid only he and Lao Zhu knew.

Then Lao Zhu issued a decree to crown him as the obedient prince, taking the meaning of conforming to the mandate of heaven, and his temple name of "Emperor Shun" in history was also given by Lao Zhu, which is the same meaning. is not only satirizing Timur's inaction, but also implying that he is the true son of heaven.

After using the king's domineering spirit to deter Tuo Timur, Lao Zhu was generous to him, and gave him a mansion and a reward, and his concubines and concubines were also returned to him, and even allowed him to use eunuchs, which was not unkind.

His mansion is not far from the palace, and the people in charge of the handles are all palace guards, as long as there is something wrong, they can be eliminated immediately. Lao Zhu did not restrict the freedom of Toti Timur, he could go out at any time, but he never went out. Lao Zhu did not prohibit him from socializing with people, but the courtiers were eager to bypass his house when they walked.

However, today, the Shunming Mansion ushered in the first guest, Uncle Ma Du of the Ming Kingdom, Lord Ma. The head of the guard recognized Ma Du and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, don't go in, don't be embarrassed." ”

"Why, the emperor is not allowed to communicate with others under his orders?"

The head of the guard said, "Not really, but you are not allowed to come." ”

"Me?" Madu pointed to his nose and asked, "Why don't you let me come!" ”

"The emperor is afraid that you will be rude to him!"

"Oh, that's it, then you don't have to worry, you just need to report it, and the obedient prince will definitely see me......"

Madu gave the head of the guard a lot of words before he went in to report to Toh Timur, and when he came back he looked confused, "It seems to be quite ...... to invite you in Rejoice! ”

"Of course he is happy, he is very bored at home, even if the enemy comes to the door, it is fun to make a big fuss with him!" Ma Du added in his heart, "What's more, my relationship with him is not so bad!" ”

Timur was utterly decadent, and at this time he seemed to have just gotten up, lazier than Madu, and wore a white silk robe in the hall, motionless and allowed the concubines and maids to wait for him to wash.

This is enjoyment, this is life, Madu has never enjoyed this kind of treatment at home.

"What a rarity!" Tuo Timur squinted his eyes and was half asleep, "It's rare that Lord Ma can still think of me and come to see me at home." ”

Ma Du unceremoniously found a seat to do, "I got acquainted with each other, and I was relieved to see that the obedient man was living so freely." ”

"Huh...... This is the only way to go. Tuo Timur took a sip of tea, "Lord Ma shouldn't have come to me for a small chat." ”

"It's really the Three Treasures Palace!"

"Since there is something to do, let's eat first, now there is nothing bigger than eating in the eyes of my father!" Tuo Timur waved his hand, and immediately an attendant brought a table of wine and feast. "Won't Lord Ma eat together?"

Ma Du shook his head, "No, I ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles on the street just now." The obedient man is not afraid to get tired of eating these things in the morning. ”

Tuo Ti Mu'er swallowed a piece of big fat meat into her stomach, "If you eat one meal this time, you will have one less meal, so naturally if you eat it well." ”

"There is some truth, but your way of eating, I'm afraid that I will have to eat ten meals less, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for long!"

With a shake of his chopsticks, a piece of meat fell directly on the table, and he said with a somewhat panicked face: "What does Lord Ma mean by this!" ”

"Shun Ming Gong misunderstood what I meant, I mean that Shun Ming Gong is sick, and I am afraid that this way of eating is that Lord Yama will come early to ask for his life." Ma Du has read his medical files, and from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no good heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and he has long been hollowed out by wine, Ma Du vaguely remembers that in history he died less than two years after fleeing from Shangdu.

Tuo Timur breathed a sigh of relief, "I have Lao Ma Jue is concerned, I heard that Ma Jue Ma can bring the dead back to life with his medical skills, if my father is really sick, I will ask Lord Ma to help me at that time." ”

"You think too highly of me, the doctor can cure the disease but can't save his life, you continue to eat, at most two years I will come to mourn with paper money!"

Hearing Ma Du say this, it would be strange if he still had an appetite, so he let people pull the banquet, "Lord Ma has something to say, I'm afraid that my father can't help." ”

"It helps!" Ma Du smiled: "I just want to help me design a house." ”

Timur laughed, faintly angry, "You can go to the craftsman for such a thing, why bother to come to me." Although I am not an emperor now, I am also a prince of the country, so why do I have to do that kind of errand. ”

This makes no sense, didn't you do it happily when you were the emperor, but now you feel like you're doing it? Madu understood in an instant that Timur thought he was mocking him, and that rebellion was at work.

"The house I want to build is not an ordinary house, except for the obedient father in the world, I really can't think of anyone else!" Madu took out an item from the box he was carrying, and removed the cotton cloth wrapped around it, "I want to use this thing to build a house, and the less other materials you need, the better!" ”

Tuo Timur's eyes widened, and the fat on his fat face twitched violently, "Are you going to build the Crystal Palace?" ”
