Chapter 485: Emperor Zhou E's thoughts

The fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival

In the morning light, a few roosters crowed at the top of their throats, waking up the sleeping child and starting to cry.

Jiang Wuniang picked up the child to feed her, and the little girl quieted down and sucked the milk in a big gulp.

Jiang Wuniang looked at her daughter lovingly and stroked her fleshy little feet with her hand. The child is more than four months old, white and tender, and very attractive. As long as Zhao Zizhong is at home, he holds the child every day and is silly and happy, and he also takes his daughter to show off everywhere.

At this moment, the door to the room opened, and Apricot walked in with the dog.

"Mother, are you hungry? I'm going to cook? Apricot asked.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so I don't have to cook in the morning. Yesterday the cafeteria made a lot of zongzi, you can take your brother to eat in a while, and then bring me a few. ”

The dog lay on the side of the kang and looked at the nursing sister enviously, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Wuniang is happy, this stinky boy, what an adult, and I still want to eat milk!

Jiang Wuniang reached out and pinched the dog's face, and the dog was a little unhappy.

"Mother, let go, it hurts."

"Dog, do you want to grab milk with your sister?"

"No, absolutely not, I'm an older brother, I won't rob a little kid."

"Then why are you drooling?"

"Hehe, mother, this is called conditioned reflex, Uncle Zhe taught us."

"Conditioning? What does that mean? Jiang Wuniang was puzzled.

Xing'er explained with a smile: "Mother, this word was taught in the biology class in the school, and the teacher said that Wangmei quenching thirst is a typical conditioned reflex. A person who has eaten plums many times drools when he sees them. This is what he did on the basis of the drooling that he had once eaten plums, it was a conditioned reflex. If none of Cao Cao's soldiers had ever eaten plums, and no one had ever told them that plums were sour, they would not have drooled or had a conditioned reflex. ”

Jiang Wuniang was very happy: "Xing'er, it seems that you have really learned a lot in the school, unlike this stinky boy, who thinks about eating all day long." ”

The dog broke free from her mother's clutches, hid behind her sister and began to bark:

"Mother, you are too partial! It's obviously the conditioned reflex I said first, but you praise my sister. ”

Jiang Wuniang smiled: "Okay, are you all good boys?" Mother won't tease you, Xing'er, you take your brother to dinner. Well, you guys take some more zongzi and come back, and send them to Aunt Zhou later. ”

The two children agreed to come down and go to the cafeteria to eat.

Jiang Wuniang hugged her daughter and quietly thought about her thoughts.

Emperor Zhou E is much more cheerful now than when he first came, and he no longer hides from people. She doesn't go to Cui's house every day to talk to Cui Daoshu's mother and wife; It's to go to the school and communicate with the female teachers.

Zhou Ehuang has a very high level of education and is proficient in music and rhythm, she has become friends with Fu Hongyu, Qi Jiuniang, and Shen Yunu, the head of the line from Bianliang City, and several people often get together to sing and play musical instruments.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Fu Hongyu started preparing as early as ten days ago, everyone rehearsed the show, and in the afternoon they took the stage to perform for the whole island.

And the most surprising thing is that Shen Yunu, a woman, decided to stay on Qishan Island. She moved out of the welcoming building and into a wooden house.

Shen Yunu dismissed several male servants and left two maids. She said that she moved Fu Hongyu again and went to the school to become a teacher.

Fu Hongyu's reaction was also very strange, it stands to reason that Shen Yunu is her rival in love, and she should do everything possible to drive Shen Yunu away, but Fu Hongyu didn't care about Shen Yunu's threat, and even promised Shen Yunu to stay, and let her go to the school to be a teacher.

People all over the island were talking, and everyone thought that Fu Hongyu's heart was really unusually strong, and she left Shen Yunu, probably thinking that Shen Yunu could not threaten her. Even if Shen Yunu, a great beauty, seduced Du Dalei, she was sure to control Du Dalei and make Du Dalei dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

And Shen Yunu seems to have forgotten Du Dalei, never went to him, just taught and educated people in the school, and talked about music and rhythm with Zhou Ehuang, Fu Hongyu, and Qi Jiuniang when he had nothing to do.

The most depressed person is Du Dalei, he is sandwiched between Fu Hongyu and Shen Yunu, and feels that his situation is very embarrassing, the two women don't give him a good face, and the men on the whole island are laughing at him, so Du Dalei followed Zhao Zizhong and hid in Liuqiu.

At this time, the child in Jiang Wuniang's arms was full and fell asleep again.

Jiang Wuniang put the child down and covered her with a quilt.

She walked out of the wooden house lightly, looking at the verdant mountains in the distance, breathing in the warm and moist air, and feeling very comfortable.

Jiang Wuniang scooped some water from the water tank and began to wash the clothes of several children.

When she had dried all the laundry, Apricot came back with the dog.

Both children carried small bamboo baskets with fragrant rice dumplings in their hands.

"Mother, we got back three kinds of zongzi, and we didn't put anything, some were wrapped with lean meat, and some were wrapped with jujubes. Am I very capable? "The dog takes credit for himself.

"Yes, my puppy is the most capable, hurry up and pack up and go to school with my sister, otherwise I'll be late again."

Jiang Wuniang sent the two children to the school, and then ate a few zongzi. After washing, she wrapped her daughter in a cloak, then lifted the bamboo basket and went to visit Emperor Zhou E.

When she came to the wooden house where Zhou E Huang lived, she saw Zhou E Huang practicing Tai Chi in front of the door.

Since his health was better, Emperor Zhou E asked Jiang Wuniang to return the two women who took care of him and live here alone.

She is now learning to take care of herself, do simple household chores, and live like an ordinary commoner.

People who knew the identity of Emperor Zhou E were surprised, she was the queen of a country, and she used to live a life of slaves and extravagance. Now she wears a jinghai cloth skirt every day, eats canteen meals, washes clothes by herself, and cleans up the house, which makes it impossible to see that she is a woman from a noble background.

Seeing Jiang Wuniang holding her daughter in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, Zhou Ehuang came up and took the bamboo basket in her hand.

"Jiang Niangzi, this zongzi smells so good, is it made in the canteen?"

"Yes, this zongzi is still hot, you can eat it quickly."

Emperor Zhou E let Jiang Wuniang into the house, Jiang Wuniang put the sleeping child on top of the kang, and then began to peel zongzi for Emperor Zhou E.

"It turns out that the zongzi are peeled like this, and they were only served before the maid peeled them, but I really haven't seen it." Zhou Ehuang's eyes widened, and he carefully watched Jiang Wuniang's movements.

Jiang Wuniang smiled: "It's not difficult, you're so smart, you should learn it after watching it once." ”

Emperor Zhou E also picked up a zongzi, learned Jiang Wuniang's technique, and began to peel it up.

The two of them each peeled two zongzi, and Emperor Zhou E wiped his hands and said, "Jiang Niangzi, these are enough for me to eat, and the rest will be kept for lunch." ”

Jiang Wuniang also wiped her hands and watched Emperor Zhou E eat zongzi slowly.

Emperor Zhou E's action of eating zongzi is very elegant, showing the demeanor of a queen of a country.

At this time, the child on the kang woke up and began to cry.

Jiang Wuniang hurriedly walked over, untied her clothes, and began to breastfeed the child.

Zhou Ehuang looked at the white and chubby child in Jiang Wuniang's arms, frowned, put down the chopsticks and stopped eating.

Jiang Wuniang looked at Zhou Ehuang's sad appearance, and knew that she was missing her child.

Jiang Wuniang comforted her softly: "Sister Zhou, you don't have to be so sad. Your eldest son is fine now, he can eat and sleep every day, and he is in good health, so you don't have to worry about him. ”

Emperor Zhou E's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Jiang Niangzi, how do you know about Zhongyu?" ”

"Sister Zhou, you should have guessed it, we have an inside line in the palace, otherwise how could we steal you out smoothly. Just a few days ago, news came out from the inside of the palace that your son was doing well, and Li Yu valued him very much and sent many people to serve him, so you don't have to worry. ”

Emperor Zhou E's brows furrowed: "That's good, that's good, Zhongyu will be eight years old soon, he has been very strong since he was a child, there shouldn't be any big problems." ”

As a woman, Jiang Wuniang knows a mother's concern for her child. He asked in a low voice:

"Sister Zhou, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

"Jiang Niangzi doesn't have to be polite, I'll listen to you."

"Sister Zhou, since we can steal you out of the palace, we have a way to bring your son here. I don't know if you want him to stay in Jinling City, or if you want him to come here. ”

"Ah," Zhou Ehuang exclaimed in surprise, she covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Wuniang, "Is this possible?" Can you really bring Zhongyu here? ”

"It's not a problem to bring your son, the key to the matter is whether you want him to stay in the palace and inherit the throne in the future, or come here to be a commoner. It's up to you to choose. ”

Emperor Zhou E lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The child in Jiang Wuniang's arms fell asleep again, she gently put the child down, tied her clothes, and looked at Zhou Ehuang quietly.

After a long time, Emperor Zhou E raised his head and said firmly:

"Jiang Niangzi, please ask Mr. Zhao to rescue Zhongyu from Jinling City as soon as possible. I know that you spent a lot of money to save me, and you also used a few miracle pills to cure my illness. These elixirs are certainly rare treasures, and although I don't know how much they are worth, they should definitely be priceless treasures.

But now I don't have anything to lose, and I don't have any money, so it's a bit hard to talk about. But I'm afraid that if Li Yu marries another woman in the future and has a few more boys, then Zhongyu's situation will be difficult, and it will even endanger his life. So this matter, please leave it to you and Mr. Zhao. I, Emperor Zhou'e, have nothing to repay in this life, and in the next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will repay you for your great kindness. ”

Saying that, Emperor Zhou E knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Wuniang.
