Ma Dajia went to the imperial dining room, handed over the affairs of the palace to the three of them, set the table and began to serve fruits and cold dishes, seeing that it was almost evening. The first guest had already arrived, and he saw Tuo Timur twisting his fat body and walking over under the leadership of the eunuch.

That's right, how can he be missing from the celebration banquet, the land and city can't be shown off in the palace, but this one can, and it is also a great demonstration of the merits of the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Biao stood at the door of the hall to greet him, he obviously didn't recognize Tuo Timur, and asked Ma Du in a low voice, "Uncle, which one is this?" ”

Ma Du whispered in his ear: "It's obedient to the father." ”

"Oh, it was him." A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Biao's mouth, I don't know if he thinks his father is too bad.

Ma Du arched his hand from afar and said, "The obedient prince came early. ”

Tuo Timur frowned and replied, "How dare you come late." This is the first time he has appeared in public since he arrived in Yingtian, and it is indeed not suitable to be late.

When he turned his head, he saw Zhu Biao in bright yellow clothes, and he didn't need to ask about his identity, only Lao Zhu and his son could wear this kind of clothes.

"Wechen meets the prince!" Properly Timur stiffened his scalp and lifted his hem to perform a bow salute.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to help, "It's important to obey the order, you are a guest today, uncle, please take a seat with the order." ”

Ma Du hurriedly took over and led Tuo Timur into the seat, his position is still the top, who called someone to be the emperor. As soon as he took his seat, he unceremoniously poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, looked at Zhu Biao's back, and said softly to Ma Du: "It's really unexpected that the prince is such a gentle and benevolent person." ”

"You're really realistic, but if you don't bow down, you will say that people are kind."

Tuo Timur said: "Where is it to avoid my kneeling, it is to make my father's heart suffer one less knife." ”

"Then who do you complain about, this kneeling ceremony is not all prevalent in your Dayuan." Ma Du suddenly lowered his voice and quipped: "Just now you said that the prince is gentle and benevolent, the implication is that someone is not gentle and benevolent, which one?" ”

Which could it be? Of course it's Lao Zhu, the meeting between Tuo Timur and Lao Zhu definitely experienced a thunderstorm, otherwise they wouldn't have been helped to come out.

Tuo Timur was so frightened that he covered Ma Du's mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "This is in the palace, you want to kill me!" ”

Madu took his fat hand away, "Okay, I won't joke on you, you can eat slowly by yourself." ”

Tu Timur suddenly grabbed Ma Du and said with an uneasy face: "You didn't tell the emperor that I would dance." "A joke that Madu played him on the grassland, he has always remembered in his heart.

"Don't worry, the emperor doesn't like to watch dances, but he loves to listen to sycophants."

Ma Du returned to the door, and Mu Ying said: "Xuanzhong, why did you talk to the Tartar Emperor for so long, didn't you beat him on the grassland." ”

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, he is not the emperor but the emperor's courtier now, and he and I are also colleagues, so it's nothing to talk casually. ”

It was getting late, and the guests came up in groups, Zhu Biao stood at the door of the palace to greet him, Ma Du and Mu Ying led people to sit down, the seats were not done casually, naturally they had to be divided into positions and merits.

There are not only military generals but also Wenchen, but most of Wenchen came over today to be green leaves, Ma Du led Tao An to sit down, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Mr. Tao said that he would come to my house to thank you, I have been waiting for you for almost two months, and you only threw a bunch of generous gifts over What's the matter." ”

Tao An said with a bitter face: "That day, I heard you say that you were waiting for me to come to the door at home, and the old man was nervous in his heart, knowing that he would be there for the rest of his life after entering the door of your house." ”

On the side, Wang Guangyang held the wine jug in his hand and said: "Brother Jing guessed eighty percent is right, Xuanzhong eighty percent is to blackmail you to ask for retribution to let you teach in his academy!" ”

Ma Du smiled: "I was embarrassed to say, thank you Mr. Wang for speaking for me!" ”

Tao An stroked his forehead with his hand and sighed, "The profound elixir is really not so easy to eat. ”

Wang Guangyang persuaded: "Xuanzhong, the lord respects that brother is still young, but he has just passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, so how about letting him go in the face of the old man." ”

"Brother Chaozong, don't persuade him, if there is no Xuanzhong old man, this life will be gone, since he has opened his mouth, the old man can only take half of his life to compensate him, fortunately, there is Zhu Yunsheng as a companion in the academy."

"I don't dare to ask for the rest of your life, the twisted melon is not sweet!" Ma Du stretched out three fingers, "For three years, Mr. Tao can still recuperate by the way as long as he teaches in the academy for three years, how about it?" ”

Compared with Zhu Shengluo Furen, Tao An is still very young, and his career has not been extinguished, and he can't help but be happy when he hears Ma Du say this, "Okay, the old man will teach you for three years!" ”

Caught another big fish, Ma Du couldn't help but look at Wang Guangyang with joy in his heart, "Mr. Wang also has time to go to my academy to take a look, the scenery of Fangshan is very good, and he must prepare the best wine to entertain." ”

Wang Guangyang was an old drunkard, but he was not moved by Ma Du's words, he shook the wine jug in his hand, "You can eat your medicine, but you can't drink wine, if one day the old man can't afford to get sick, he will go to Fangshan to find you." ”

Ma Du spread his hands, "Then don't think about it, my last elixir has been given to Mr. Tao, and when Lord Yama comes to collect you, don't come to me." ”

Xu Da didn't have the consciousness of being a big name came very early, and as soon as he came up, he pulled Ma Du and said: "I have taken care of all the things at home, and those messy businesses have been closed." ”

"Brother Xu is really extraordinary, he is so neat and tidy. Sister-in-law is okay, I'm not angry with you. ”

"What else can she do, she won't ruin this family for the life and death of a few evil slaves, she should know what is going on when she is the mother of two children. When I have time, I will ask her to visit your house and learn more about housekeeping with her younger siblings. ”

Ma Du waved his hand again and again, "Brother Xu, forget it, the one in my family will only lose, but fortunately, she has another sister in her boudoir, who is the niece of Xu Ben, a famous man in Suzhou, and has been living in my house." She takes care of the trivial things at home, and she is quite organized, so let her and her sister-in-law exchange more experiences when the time comes. ”

Xu Da thumped Ma Du's chest with his fist, "You kid can do it!" Looking at his ambiguous eyes, Ma Du knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't expect the famous general to be so gossipy.

"By the way, my family's business is closed, hundreds of people up and down the family can't sit and eat empty, your family's good business has let the eldest brother enter the stocks, and tomorrow I will let people send you the share capital, the money is not much, anyway, that's all." He patted Ma Du on the shoulder and said seriously: "Money is a good thing, but too much is useless and can only cause trouble, the eldest brother is also for your good, share some for you." Go ahead and get busy, I'll find a seat myself. ”

Looking at the back of Xu Da leaving, Ma Du was very emotional, Xu Da in his mind couldn't be so thick-skinned, he sighed helplessly and bumped into a person as soon as he turned around, very familiar, isn't this the old enemy Yang Xian?
