Zhu Ao didn't pay attention to her careful thoughts, took her hand, looked out the window, and said without knowing whether to be happy or worried: "I'm afraid that his niece is quite beautiful, and her family is afraid that she will be chosen by her father to be a palace maid." ”

Di Linaza lowered her head and said knowingly: "What's wrong with being a palace maid for my father?" Maybe one day she will become the imperial concubine if she is favored by her father. ”

Zhu Ao knew that she was saying nice things, and in view of her daughter-in-law's position being rather embarrassing, she did not delve into her in this regard, and asked, "Have you heard about King Qin?" ”

He is talking about the death of his second brother King Qin, the two princesses were martyred, this matter shook a lot in the circle of vassal kings and magnates, marking the death of the Han people for thousands of years The funeral system began to prevail again, making those women who were still happy for themselves as princesses began to tremble, because the next one may be you.

Such a big thing, Di Linaza has naturally heard of it, to say in her heart, no one wants to die, even if you like a person again, you are not willing to be martyred for him, the big deal is that he will observe the festival for him after he dies, forget it if he has a hard time, what is the matter with the funeral? It's better to die than to live.

It's just that Di Linazha, this kind of major event of the Zhu family, didn't dare to say anything, quietly raised her eyes to look at Zhu Ao, and stammered with a slight trace of trepidation on her face: "The ministers and concubines naturally heard and heard that after the death of King Qin, the voluntary martyrdom of the two princesses is really true and true for eternity." ”

"!" Zhu Ao scolded fiercely, Di Linaza was taken aback by his words, stood up in panic, rubbed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, lowered her head, did not dare to speak, and her expression was very nervous.

Zhu Ao ignored her and said to himself: "Those two concubines were forced to death by their father, and I want them to go down to accompany the second brother." It's ridiculous, what do you know when people are dead? What's the use of burying a mountain of gold in it? ”

Di Linaza didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhu Ao was openly criticizing Zhu Yuanzhang, she didn't speak to either side, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "That's right, the king." Do you think the word seller today will go to Suguo with us? ”

Zhu Ao didn't answer her words, but still made a comment on his own channel, saying: "I only hate the widow and everyone to speak lightly, and I can't persuade my father to change this system, this bad habit is completely smearing my Zhu family, isn't he afraid of his disgraceful stroke in the history books?" I don't care about anything else, and in the country of the widows, this kind of system will never be allowed. ”

Di Lina's heart warmed, she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she has seen countless dignitaries, she knows that these people are very indifferent to life, especially the lives of women, in their eyes it is no different from the life of a cat and a dog, and now her king said this, at least it shows that he is human and warm, so he pretended to be bold and said: "King, do you mean that if Your Majesty dies, it will ...... after his death."

Zhu Ao didn't think about it, and answered impatiently: "Those palace maids and concubines who were selected by him are afraid that they will not be able to escape." ”

Di Lina's heart is also a trace of unbearable, things hurt, those girls who were selected are about the same age as her, most of them are younger than her, and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, he can't live for a few years, so many flower-like women, just withered for an old man? It's a shame.

"Is the king trying to help that girl?"

Zhu Ao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said a little weakly: "Do you remember that the widow discussed Buddhism with that old monk in Jiming Temple? The Buddha is in his heart, do not do all evil, and do all good. The widow has no ability to prevent his father's draft, nor does he have the ability to prevent him from starting the funeral system again. However, since this woman has been touched by a widow, can the widow not care? How great a merit is that a life can be saved with a single effort? How can you not do such a good deed? ”

"Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small. O king, the Buddha will surely bless you. Di Linaza admired his king even more, he not only has power, status, appearance, and figure, but more importantly, he has a benevolent heart, and respects human life, including the life of women who are not valued, knelt down gently, pillowed his head on Zhu Ao's lap, and said quietly.

The next day, Zhu Ao took Di Lina to take a boat in the Qinhuai River for a swim, and there were many rich sons and prostitutes in Jinling City, and many people were wandering in Hanoi with a small boat, spending a lot of money, indulging in wandering, it was really a scene of drunkenness.

Di Lina Zha has an outstanding appearance, even in the beautiful Qinhuai River, she stands out from the crowd, attracting the frequent attention of the sons and buddies next to her, and quietly asking someone to inquire which family she is, and repaying Zhu Ao with envy, jealousy and hatred.

However, the Ming Dynasty is a legal society, a thorough legal society, especially under the governance of Zhu Yuanzhang, most of those powerful people are people with their tails between their legs, and there are still very few people who blatantly rob the people's women in broad daylight like Yanei.

When I returned to the Yuelai Inn in the evening, the shopkeeper came to Zhu Ao again, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the guest officer, my niece's family said that a thousand miles of marriage are tied by a thread, and it is fate to meet the son today, and they don't mind the woman going to the northwest frontier with the son." ”

Zhu Ao looked at Di Linaza's bulging mouth, and felt happy in her heart, this affair came too smoothly, since she crossed over, not only her identity has changed, but her luck has also changed, and she smiled: "How can you be in Xiade?" Can you be so favored by the young lady? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Childe doesn't have to be too humble, it's been more than 30 years since he opened a shop here, what kind of person hasn't seen it for so many years?" has long practiced a pair of eyeballs that recognize people, not bragging, but any person, walking two laps under the eyes of the bottom, then he can touch him in the next seven, eight or eight. After a few days of observation, I already know that Childe is a heroic personality, a broad-minded person, a heroic spirit, and Mrs. is also very kind, I think she will treat my niece well, so I entrust them to Childe, and the brothers in and below are very relieved. It's just that the other party wants to see the son first, and look at each other, I don't know if it's okay? ”

They? Zhu Ao and Di Linaza were both stunned, and glanced at each other, could it be that there is more than one niece in his family? That's a lot of luck.

Zhu Ao smiled: "That's natural, you have to pick and choose when you buy clothes, let alone find a husband?" ”

The shopkeeper arched his hand and said with a peaceful face: "Then please come with me, they are next door." ”

Came to the door so soon, Zhu Ao was happy, he chose the concubine before, and he liked which woman was his own, although it was very cool, but it could not reflect his own charm, this time someone came to see himself, but it was fresh, he could take this opportunity to test his own charm, and said with a smile: "Please lead the way with the shopkeeper." ”

Then, Zhu Ao left Di Linaza in the room, and followed the innkeeper to the next room, where there were four people, two middle-aged men in their forties sat in the middle, presumably the woman's parents, and on either side of them stood two beautiful women - and they looked exactly the same.

It's actually twins. I'll go, if God wants to be so good to the widow, take a girl to visit the Qinhuai River and actually have such an affair.

Zhu Ao took a closer look at the two beauties, and saw that they were pretty, with melon seed faces and big eyes, slender and well-proportioned, standing there gracefully, with a graceful demeanor, and they were really rare beauties. Such a superb twin sister participating in the draft will definitely be favored by Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu is not a good man, for such a peerless beauty, she must be cruel and fast.

But what about after that? They are afraid that they are about to join Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral army, because Zhu Yuanzhang is almost seventy years old, and at this age, can you still expect him to let his woman have children?

Although Zhu Ao has seen many beauties, but has never seen such beautiful twin sisters, unconsciously looked at the two of them more, it was really slim, I saw pity, plus thinking of their fate after being chosen, I couldn't help but rise infinite pity.

Those two girls were girls who had not yet come out of the cabinet, and after being stared at by Zhu Ao for a while, they suddenly felt embarrassed, and they were too shy.

It would be rude to look at it like this, Zhu Ao immediately stood upright and bowed to the parents of the two girls, and said, "The younger generation has seen the two old people. ”

The girl's parents looked at Zhu Ao's appearance, and sure enough, they were Zhou Zheng, heroic and extraordinary, and they smiled at each other and looked at each other, very satisfied, and the girl's father asked: "Dare to ask the virtuous nephew with a high surname, what do you do for a living?" ”

Zhu Ao had already made up the rhetoric, and said with a smile: "The younger generation's name is Qu Zhongxin, originally a person from Shanxi, and later heard that the development of the Northwest Su State is good, so he brought some capital to Su Guo to operate silk, tea, porcelain and other things, after several years of dismal business, gradually gained a foothold, this time to Jiangnan is to buy. ”

The girl's parents smiled and nodded, just listening to him say this, the conditions are good, but he has this achievement at a young age, which is really a little surprising, and said: "Lingzun and Lingtang are also in the northwest?" ”

Zhu Ao knew their intentions, smiled slightly, and said: "The parents below are no longer there, they are doing business with their two brothers, and they are also in Dunhuang, the capital of Suguo. This time, there was not much inventory in the store, and the eldest brother and second brother stayed in the store to take care of the family, and sent the younger generations to Jiangnan to buy goods. The younger generation set up a shop in the east of the city, called Quji Supply, which was specifically responsible for purchasing tea, silk, porcelain, etc. in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

No wonder he has done so much at such a young age, it turned out that there was a brother to help him, the girl's parents were a little bit WeChat, plus he was willing to report the name of the store, it seems that most of it is true, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is really young and promising, but the little girl's lifelong event, we always have to discuss it, how about we meet here in two days?" "Three days later, it will be the day of Zhu Yuanzhang's draft, and they can only drag it out for two days.

Zhu Ao gave a salute and said very politely: "The juniors are waiting for the good news of the two seniors, thank you for the favor of the seniors and the young lady." With that, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the two twins, just in time to see that they were also looking at him with admiring eyes, obviously very satisfied with his husband, and couldn't help but smile at them.

After the two girls saw Zhu Ao looking at them, they were both shy, and the shy girl was really the cutest.

After Zhu Ao greeted the girl's parents, he went out of the room with the shopkeeper, and after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he returned to his and Di Linazha's room.

Di Linaza looked at Zhu Ao's face full of spring breeze, knowing that he had done a good thing, and couldn't help but have some snacks and vinegar in his heart, sour, pouting and muttering: "It seems that the king's banner is victorious, and the concubine wants to congratulate the king." ”

Zhu Ao pinched her little nose and said with a smile: "The widow picked up a treasure this time, I really didn't expect to have such a situation when I came out to go shopping, you are really a widow's little lucky star." Let's say okay first, after you arrive in Suguo, you are not allowed to bully them. ”

"Hmph." Di Lina pouted and snorted cutely, and said mischievously: "How dare the concubine?" They are the king's new favorites, and a few of the concubines dare to bully them. ”

Zhu Ao laughed, hugged Di Linazha's small waist, and said: "The widow knows that the widow's concubine is the most sensible, let's go, I won't live here tonight, let's go back." ”

"Go back?" Di Linaza was stunned for a moment, stared at a pair of big eyes, looked at Zhu Ao with a puzzled expression, and said, "Do you want to go back now?" ”

Zhu Ao kissed her little mouth and said, "Of course, the widow still has something to do." He lied to others that he was Qu Zhongxin, and he also reported his own store, didn't hurry back to find someone to report the news, and let Qu Zhongxin help him to lie, and when people went over to ask, it was not all gangs, so that people knew that he, the king of Su, actually dared to dig Zhu Yuanzhang's foot of the wall, and Lao Zhu was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.

After that, he took Di Linaza back to his home, of course, he didn't check out, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the innkeeper, but just said that he went to visit friends.

After returning home, Zhu Ao immediately sent someone to inform Qu Zhongxin and asked him to help him round out the lie. After that, under the service of Dilinazha, he stayed at home.

At the same time, in the palace of the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen's ancestors and grandchildren were still diligently reviewing the folds, Zhu Yuanzhang was not very satisfied with Zhu Yunwen's performance at the banquet last time, knowing that he still had a strong wariness of the vassal king, and said: "Yunwen, I want to ask you one thing, who is guilty of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms?" ”

Zhu Yunwen put down the fold in his hand, didn't think about it, stood up and arched his hand: "The sin lies with the princes of the Seven Kingdoms, they joined forces to make a rebellion and wanted to usurp the throne, which is a big rebellion. ”
