Chapter 14 The first thing is to live

"So, young people, don't be impatient. This Jiang Liu'er is not an ordinary person......"

Zhou Xing had already typed the draft, so he was not in a hurry, and he spoke eloquently, and with a few words, Zhu Gaoxu was appeased.

Regarding the story Zhou Xing said, Zhu Gaoxu listened to it with relish, and talked about Jiang Liu'er in the morning, and when he was talking about meeting Sun Wukong, Zhou Xing stopped and said with a smile: "Second son, now it's time for lunch, second son should go to eat first." How about listening to it again in the afternoon? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'll ask people to prepare food, you continue." ”

He didn't want to waste time at all, and he was listening to it, how could he allow Zhou Xing to eat?

Zhou Xing stood up directly and walked outside, and said, "Since the second son doesn't plan to eat, then I'll go eat." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was furious for a while, this special thing is too shameless for me! He stood up and shouted, "Don't go." ”

Zhou Xing's footsteps did not stop, and said: "The people take food as the sky, second son, do you want to turn the sky upside down?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment, if he wanted to talk about kung fu, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Zhou Xing even if he patted the horse.

He wanted to say a few words threatening Zhou Xing, but now Zhou Xing didn't believe him at all.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu found that he couldn't do anything about Zhou Xing. This immediately made him very depressed.

Zhou Xing paced outside slowly, peeked at Zhu Gaoxu when he turned the corner, and found that he was still standing there with a tangled and confused expression, and immediately felt funny.

"This guy, it's almost ready to be taken. Alas, my original intention was just to live well in this Ming Dynasty, and now it seems that the stall is getting bigger and bigger. ”

first Zhu Di, then the future emperor Zhu Gaochi, and now there is a second son, Zhu Gaochu, who knows all high-ranking officials, and it can be regarded as "no white ding".

When he came back from eating, Zhou Xing was surprised to find that Zhu Gaochu was still there, and there was a food box on the table in front of him.

Seeing Zhou Xing, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said angrily: "It takes you so long to eat?" Hurry back and continue. ”

Zhou Xing burped and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, you should rest after eating, Zi said that he was full of wine and food, and he should sleep." ”

Looking at Zhou Xing's unbeaten appearance, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait to smash it with a fist. But remembering that if he beat this guy up badly, there would be no one to tell him a story, so he had to resist the urge to do it, gritted his teeth and said, "Which son is this?" ”

Zhou Xing pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Zhou Zi is also." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought, am I being tricked by this bastard again?

He was also a little uncertain in his heart, so he had to say with a black face: "Do you want to talk about it?" I'll beat you up if you don't say anything. ”

He felt that this was the last time to threaten Zhou Xing, and if Zhou Xing didn't know what to do, then he would give him a beating. It's a big deal to hold back for a few days and not listen to the story, let this guy recuperate!

I really owe this person a beating.

Zhou Xing has been observing words, and when he found that Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be about to make a move, he immediately stopped joking.

"Haha, I'm just talking about it casually, the second young master is angry, let's continue to talk about it, this will immediately make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace."

In order to whet Zhu Gaoxu's appetite, Zhou Xing did not tell his story according to the original Journey to the West, but advanced the story of Tang Seng to leave sufficient foreshadowing for the havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the suppression of Wuzhi Mountain.

While this may be a bit of a discount in terms of rigor, it doesn't matter.

After all, Zhou Xing was just trying to coax Zhu Gaoxu, and he didn't have the idea of writing the four famous novels.

After saying the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the sky has already darkened, and the day is spent in storytelling.

Sending Zhu Gaoxu away, Zhou Xing suddenly felt dry mouth, poured down most of the pot of tea in one go, and said with emotion: "Those storytellers are really not easy, every day, the skin of the mouth will grind out calluses." ”

After moving his muscles and bones, Zhou Xing felt that his whole body was stiff.

was about to lie down and rest for a while, the fat Zhu Gaochi, with the support of the family, walked over slowly. Zhou Xing suddenly felt depressed, slapped his forehead, and said to himself: "These two brothers, take turns to fight, can't you let me rest and rest?" ”

But there was no way, even if he was so tired that he vomited blood, Zhou Xing had to fight with twelve points of spirit to deal with it.

Although Zhu Gaochi admires Zhou Xing very much now, for Zhou Xing, Zhu Gaochu is far easier to deal with than Zhu Gaochi.

Although Zhu Gaoxu is high-flying, he is immature and easy to be deceived. And Zhu Gaochi looks gentle and harmless, but he is not easy to deceive.

"Zhou Xing, your story is finally finished." Zhu Gaochi came to Zhou Xing with his usual smile on his face.

Zhou Xing hurriedly made a move, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "How does the eldest prince know that I am telling a story?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "At noon today, I sent someone to look for you, but I met my second brother, and he said that you went to dinner." And he said, even if you have dinner, I won't let you come to my place, because you have to tell him a story. ”

When Zhou Xing heard this, he hurriedly said, "Huh? And such things? I didn't know at all, and the second son didn't tell me. The eldest prince forgives his sins. ”

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, as if he was also helpless about his younger brother, and said: "That's it, he is such a character, I don't dare to mess with him." ”

Looking at his demeanor and tone, he obviously didn't want to say much about himself, Zhu Gaoxu. Now that he knows what kind of character Zhu Gaoxu is, it is naturally impossible to blame him.

"I don't know what the eldest prince has to tell me when he looks for me?" Zhou Xing asked. Obviously, Zhu Gaochi came to him several times, and it was impossible for him to come to drink tea and chat.

Zhu Gaochi ordered someone to take out a brand-new book and said, "This is the "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" that I ordered people to work on day and night, you can take a look. ”

Picking up the book that still exuded the smell of ink, Zhou Xing sighed with emotion, these thousands of words of the book can be done in one day.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which greatly reduced the time cost and material cost of printing. If before the Song Dynasty, this copy of "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" had been printed and carved page by page with a board, even if ten craftsmen worked together, it would have been completed in a month.

"What is the eldest prince doing here?" Zhou Xing asked. The print is not as aesthetically pleasing as the handwriting, nor is it as easy to appreciate as the scroll, and it may not seem practical. At least for Zhu Gaochi himself.

Zhu Gaochi said: "Have you forgotten? As I told you before, use this to learn from this. ”

The so-called Mongolian learning is the enlightenment of reading and literacy.

When Zhou Xing heard this, he was taken aback. At first, he thought that Zhu Gaochi was just talking about it casually, but he didn't expect this guy to be so concerned about this matter, and even the sample book was ready at this time.

It seems that this Zhu Gaochi is a person who does what he says.

In Zhou Xing's impression, education should be a matter of the government, and isn't there a township school everywhere? Some of this matter is in charge of the court, what do you worry about the son of the prince's family.

But Zhou Xing naturally didn't say this, what he thought was that Zhu Gaochi should have nothing to do with himself if he did this, right?

Reborn in the Ming Dynasty, the current Zhou Xing has learned to be careful in everything. Before being reborn, Zhou Xing once read a book called "Silver Fox", which had a sentence that impressed him very deeply: the first requirement of a person is to live, the second requirement is to live, and the third requirement is still to live...... Zhou Xing felt that his most basic wish was to live well in this Ming Dynasty.

In this era when the emperor wants to punish the nine clans at every turn, it is actually difficult to live in peace and stability. Zhou Xing wanted to maintain a relationship with Zhu Gaochi outside the nine clans.

The three-character scripture says that the nine clans are "high great-grandfather, father." The body is a son, and the child is a grandchild. From children and grandchildren, to Xuanzeng. It is the nine tribes, the humanity of the people. That is, "great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, body, son, grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson". Judging from this, the relationship between Zhou Xing and Zhu Gaochi is not in any of them, but the genius Yongle Emperor, it is said that when he convicted Huang Zicheng, he made a Zhu Shi clan, and this extra tenth clan refers to the teacher-student relationship.

In other words, if Zhu Gaochi is convicted because of this "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", because "Sound Law Enlightenment" is a relationship written by Zhou Xing, it is within the scope of this tenth clan.

Although there are many controversies in history about Zhu Di's punishment of the ten clans, Zhou Xing still adheres to the principle of "it is better to believe it than to believe it".

Can the matter of cutting off the head be considered child's play?

"Eldest Prince, why is there my name on it? The credit for the completion of this book is all due to the eldest prince, how can I compare with him? Zhou Xing pointed to the preface in the book and said.

Of course, in the preface, Zhu Gaochi still gave most of the credit for compiling this book to himself, and Zhou Xing's name was just mentioned in passing.

But these Zhou Xing didn't care, although it sounded glorious to be able to appear in the same preface as the future emperor. But Zhou Xing was not interested in such glory.

Think about the Ming history case at the beginning of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", after Wu Zhirong denounced it, didn't the government arrest people one by one according to the names in the preface?

Therefore, it is better not to have such a thing as a false name. can neither eat nor wear, and can become evidence in court at a critical moment, which is simply harmful and not beneficial.

Once "The Enlightenment of Sound and Rhythm" becomes a Mongolian textbook for rural studies, Zhu Gaochi's name will certainly be well known to the broad masses of the people, laying a solid foundation for his future popularity.

This is one of the reasons why Zhu Gaochi is so enthusiastic.

It is precisely because of this that he did not hesitate to spend a lot of ink in the preface to explain how much effort he had spent on the book. It is estimated that it was written to the end, and I really felt a little embarrassed, so I wrote symbolic words such as "I wrote this article, and I also had Zhou Xing's help" at the end.
