Hearing the news that Princess Huaining had died, Zhu Youxiao's spirit was greatly hit.

"It's that I'm not blessed, it's that I'm not blessed." Zhu Youxiao grabbed Xiao Wu's arm tightly and muttered in his mouth.

Zhu Youzhen endured the pain in his arm, and while pulling Zhu Youxiao out, he shouted loudly: "Big brother, go, go, go to my sister-in-law's place to eat, I'm about to starve to death." ”

Zhu Youxiao let Zhu Youzhen pull him, and staggered out.

He looked at Zhu Youzhen in despair and pulled him hard, walking awkwardly, walking......

Relying on the power from Xiao Wu, Zhu Youxiao's eyes slowly condensed, his feet became more and more powerful, and his steps gradually stabilized.

Walking outside Kunning Palace, Zhu Youxiao finally regained his vitality.

Zhu Youjian took two heavy breaths, dragging such a heavy individual and walking such a long way, it was really not an easy task.

It's about to enter Kunning Palace, and it's not good to look at the big brother like this again.

Zhu Youzhen let go of Zhu Youxiao's arm.

Zhu Youzhen was just about to enter the palace gate, but Zhu Youxiao grabbed him.

A deep tenderness flashed in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhu Youzhen and said softly: "Little Wu, don't worry your sister-in-law, you know?" ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at Zhu Youxiao's pale face and nodded heavily.

Leaving the palace, until returning to the Xinwang Mansion, Zhu Youzhen still couldn't forget Zhu Youxiao's lonely figure sitting in the shadows.

Is that the price of being alone?

There is no one to comfort even the sorrow, and no matter how painful the heart is, you can only bear it yourself.

That figure is really so bleak and cruel.

No way, maybe the king is destined to be lonely, right?

This phenomenon may be the same in any era, and it will never change depending on the era, right?

Before Zhu Youzhen came out of that sad and lonely mood, Wang Chengen came in to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu and Mr. Tang have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Oh, change the clothes of Lonely, how can you keep the gentlemen waiting?" Zhu Youzhen patted his face, cleaned up his sad mood, and put a smile on his face again.

There's no need to upset everyone, is there?

In the guest room, Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang both got a lot darker and lost a lot of weight. The two of them have been on the construction site for most of the year, and everyone has to become dark and thin, and life on the construction site is too hard.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's dark and thin face, Zhu Youzhen felt very uncomfortable.

Xu Guangqi is an old man in his 60s! If he wants to have something good, then he will be guilty of too much?

"Ahh Zhu Youzhen spat on the ground, and his sad mood was thrown out of the clouds at once.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhu Youzhen entered the door and fell to the ground. He must pay tribute to Xu Guangqi, this old man is so worthy of his gratitude.

Seeing that King Xin entered the door with such a big gift, Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang stood up in shock.

Zhu Youzhen was very fast, and he straightened up on his own without waiting for the two of them to make other movements. He came to Xu Guangqi's side with an arrow, stretched out his hand to support Xu Guangqi, and asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. well?" ”

"Good, good, the old man's body is still very tough. His Royal Highness Lao is worried. Xu Guangqi was greatly relieved, and he slowly sat down with the power of King Xin.

The innocence of the king has not changed at all.

"Sir, please be seated, and you're welcome." Zhu Youzhen greeted Tang Ruowang, who was standing on the side.

Turning around, Zhu Youzhen looked Xu Guangqi up and down carefully. Seeing that although Xu Guangqi had lost a lot of weight, his complexion was really good, so he put his heart back into his stomach.

Zhu Youzhen returned to his seat and explained easily: "For the gift just now, I thanked the two gentlemen on behalf of the tenants of the Huangzhuang Village. If it weren't for the hard work of the two gentlemen, how could Huangzhuang have a better tomorrow. In the future, the tenants of Huangzhuang will have abundant food and clothing, all thanks to the two gentlemen. It is a great gift to thank you, and the two gentlemen need not be uneasy. ”

(Hehe, I can also represent others, Zhu Youzhen smiled in his heart.) ）

"Don't dare." Hearing what the king said, Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang stood up together again. They seem to want to return the gift, but they don't know how to return it.

How to return this kind of representative etiquette seems to be a new topic for Confucianism who preaches etiquette.

Looking at the helplessness of the two, Zhu Youzhen felt very interesting.

Xu Guangqi is just that, how can Tang Ruowang also look like this kind of Confucian, he is very thorough.

"Sit, sit down." Zhu Youzhen's salute just now was really done with sincerity, and it was really not his intention to make the two gentlemen so at a loss.

Clothed?

If it is true that tens of thousands of tenants can live a life of abundant food and clothing, then this merit is indeed worthy of the gift of the king of faith.

Xu Guangqi suddenly woke up when he saw the smile in King Xin's eyes, what kind of etiquette to talk to this master. He beckoned John Tong to sit down calmly.

Seeing that the two of them sat down again, Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly: "Wang Chengen, arrange a meal, I want to invite the two gentlemen to a big meal." ”

Zhu Youzhen carefully instructed Wang Chengen, and then turned his head to Xu Guangqi and said, "The two gentlemen came just in time, I have a few good dishes I want to invite the gentleman to try, and the two gentlemen will wait a while." ”

"I just went home, and I don't know if the two gentlemen have eaten? Make your own opinion, please understand me? Zhu Youzhen sincerely apologized for his arbitrariness.

While speaking, Zhu Youzhen and Xu Guangqi's eyes met, and both of them remembered the new crop banquet at the beginning, and their faces were invariably smiling.

Everything was vivid in my mind, as if it were yesterday.

The new crop has been rolled out in all parts of the country. As long as the water conservancy project can keep up, in the next few years, Huangzhuang will have a bumper harvest of various new crops.

The spread of new crops to the whole country is also just around the corner.

Xu Guangqi stroked the beard under his chin and thought leisurely.

Time flies, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

I wonder if today's new dishes will surpass the deliciousness of the past?

Zhu Youzhen's banquet is still the style in Xu Guangqi's memory, with four dishes and one soup.

It's just that the sitting method has changed from the last time to three people sitting around a table.

In terms of etiquette, this kind of sitting around a table is a bit rude for Zhu Youzhen.

According to Zhu Youzhen's status as the vassal king, it is the right etiquette to treat guests by adopting a separate seat system.

But Zhu Youzhen really couldn't stand the sense of distance between the guests. Since the first banquet with Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youzhen has never used the seating system.

John Tang looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and was shocked in his heart.

In front of you, is there a prince?

There was only one more noble person in the entire empire than him, and there was only one imperial master who lived in that extremely magnificent palace complex.

A noble person with such a noble status eats such a few dishes?

Even those rural nobles in their hometowns will use more dishes for their feasts than they see in front of them.

Is King Shin really so frugal?
