Chapter 20: Zhu Hu
"Huh?"
Hearing the voice, Zhu Huixuan, who had just woken up from a dream, put down the copper basin and looked up, and when he saw Zhu Hu, he immediately dropped the copper basin, stretched out his arm and pounced on Zhu Hu: "Uncle Lu, I miss you so much, Uncle Hu!" β
"You kid, what do you think of your uncle, I think you're worried about the delicious food in your uncle's house, right?" Zhu Hu stretched out his hand to hug Zhu Huixuan, who rushed over, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's a little heavier again, it seems that Brother Song hasn't given you less food and clothing during this time!" β
"That's right, Uncle Song is kind to his nephew!" Zhu Huixuan struggled to jump out of Zhu Hu's arms, ran to the stone table and pushed the small copper basin vigorously, and said, "Uncle Hu, you see, Uncle Song also specially conjured ice cubes for us!" β
Change? I should say that I took it, right?
Shaking his head, Zhu Hu touched the cold copper basin and said, "Brother Song, you will enjoy it!" β
Zhu Song shook his head and said, "On such a hot day, the two little guys will suffer from heat stroke again, won't it be troublesome then?" β
"Two?" Zhu Hu nodded, looked at the other little guy, and said, "I just wanted to ask, whose family is this child?" Could it be that it's your boy's affair again? β
"Uh......" Zhu Song's head was bruised, and he said in his heart: "This guy looks very elegant, why does he talk so unruly?" It's just a virtue with Zhu Yang! Also, damn it, he wants to say the word 'again' for Mao? β
"Zhang Xuan has seen His Royal Highness King Zhou!" Zhu Song hasn't introduced it yet, and Zhu Zhanji has already begun to introduce himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle Xuan, this is my best friend, Brother Xuan!" Zhu Huixuan was afraid that Zhu Hu would put Zhu Zhanji on the throne, so he hurriedly began to pull the relationship, "Usually I have the best time with Brother Xuan, he lets me do everything!" β
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Huixuan when he heard this, and when he saw the serious look on his little uncle's face, he couldn't help but be deeply moved.
Seeing Zhu Huixuan's performance, Zhu Song also nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that his vision is good, although Zhu Huixuan is a little naΓ―ve, but whoever is good to him, he will be good to whom, this point, many adults can't do.
Look at 'Zhang Xuan' again, although the little guy is a little arrogant, he is still very good to his relatives and friends, just like a few days ago:
The two little guys left the guards and sneaked out to play, and were bullied by a child who was one or two years older than them, 'Zhang Xuan' saw that Zhu Huixuan was pushed by the other party, and immediately went crazy to beat the little guy who dared to bully Zhu Huixuan.
As for the future, good guy, 'Zhang Xuan' actually discounted the right leg of the little guy who bullied Zhu Huixuan, which shows that 'Zhang Xuan' is fierce, ruthless and short-guarding!
And Zhu Song didn't feel that 'Zhang Xuan' had done something wrong, originally, who dared to bully my brothers, my children, my relatives, and my friends, even if they didn't want your life, they would cripple you, make you afraid, and let you have a long memory!
"Oh, is it a good friend of Xiao Huihui?" Zhu Hu nodded and said, "Excuse me, just call me Uncle Hu just like Xiao Huihui!" Oh yes......"
When he said this, Zhu Hu began to dig out his cuffs, and after a while, he took out a jade handle, handed it to Zhu Zhanji, and said, "Your name is Xiao Xuan, right?" Now, when we met for the first time, Uncle didn't bring anything good here, so I'll give you this jade gourd! β
The jade gourd in Zhu Hu's hand, the material should be Hetian seed jade, its volume is only half the size of a baby's palm, the whole body is white and warm, the shape is exquisite, and it comes from the master's hand at a glance.
"This ...... Zhou, no, Uncle Hu, this jade gourd is too valuable, I can't accept it! "Zhu Zhanji is not a fool, he can naturally see that this jade gourd is worth a lot of money, as the so-called merit is not punished, and he can't take other people's things for nothing.
"Xiao Xuan, what you give away for nothing, don't take it for nothing!" Zhu Song didn't say anything polite to Zhu Hu, so he snatched the jade gourd from Zhu Hu's hand, stuffed it into Zhu Zhanji's hand, and said, "Besides, the elder doesn't dare to resign, and you can't call this uncle in vain, right?" β
"Stinky boy!" Zhu Hu looked at the empty right hand, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Xiao Xuan, what Uncle Song said is right, the things that Uncle Song sent out have never been taken back, so you can take it!" β
"So, Uncle Xiao Xuan has thanked Uncle Xuan!" Zhu Zhanji squeezed the jade gourd in his hand tightly and respectfully thanked Zhu Hu.
"Okay, you two little guys go to the pavilion over there to play first, Uncle Lu and Brother Song have something to discuss!"
Zhu Hu came to Zhu Song's mansion, as if he had come to his own home, and after giving the meeting gift, he began to call the two little guys.
"Okay, Uncle Tsuba!" Zhu Huixuan and Zhu Zhanji were obedient, and the two little guys carried the small copper basin together and walked towards another pavilion not far away.
"Yingxiang, I don't need you to serve here, go and watch those two little guys!" Zhu Song waved his hand at Yingxiang and let the two little guys play by themselves, Zhu Song was still a little uneasy, "By the way, don't let the two little guys eat that pot of ice!" β
"Yes, Your Highness!" For Zhu Song's order, although Yingxiang felt very strange, she still accepted it.
β¦β¦
At this moment, only the two brothers Zhu Hu and Zhu Song were left in the pavilion.
"Fifth brother, when did you get closer to Brother Yang in this temperament?" Zhu Song handed Zhu Lu a cup of chilled bean soup and said, "Deliberately split the two little guys, do you have something to say?" β
"Hey, it's really like Brother Yu said, why did you kid suddenly become shrewd?" Zhu Lu took a sip of iced bean soup, smiled, and continued: "How about it, the wedding date is approaching, and in a few days, the people from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian will come, right?" How is the house preparing? β
"How prepared are you?" Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said, "Since the emperor gave me the marriage, where have I had any free life?" Not only do you have a lot of socializing every day, but you also have to prepare a lot of things! Look at our house, as far as the eye can see, it is all a bright red color, where is this marriage, it is clearly the Chinese New Year's Eve! β
Hearing Zhu Song's complaint, Zhu Hu smiled even more happily: "You kid is really in the blessing and don't know the blessing, this time you get married, all the expenses and expenses of the house are allocated by the household department, but the silver in your treasury has not been moved, when we get married, there is no such treatment?" β
"Even if I don't touch the money in my treasury, can't I contribute my own people and efforts?" As soon as he said this, Zhu Song immediately became angry, "Is this fucking marriage or sin?" Every day, people from the household department come to check the finances, my huge Ming Dynasty, is it possible that there is still a shortage of such a little silver? β
"This is also to blame the officials of the Ministry of Households, with the control of our Ming law, they don't have the courage to let you spend money at will!"
While saying this, Zhu Hu seemed to remember something, and said angrily: "Moreover, you kid doesn't want to think about the ridiculous things you did a few years ago, and if you change my brother and me, I don't dare to let you open up and spend money!" β
"Uh......" Zhu Song was stunned for a moment, remembering his bad reputation, and stopped talking.
"Okay, I told Xiao Yang about this, you didn't talk about it once or twice, and I didn't talk about you rarely."
Zhu Lu also knew that his younger brother's temperament was actually pampered by him and Zhu Yan, he took a sip of the chilled bean soup and drank it dry, as if intentionally or unintentionally:
"Brother Song, I heard that you went to Jiaxing Mansion some time ago, I don't know what interesting things happened in Jiaxing Mansion?"
"Oh?" Zhu Song's heart moved, but on the surface, he said without changing his face: "It's nothing interesting, it's just that I met a faint official and caused a little trouble!" β
"That unconscious official's name is Zhang Xun, right?" Zhu Lu said: "I remember that not long after you returned to Yingtianfu, there was a magistrate named Zhang Xun, who was directly ordered by the emperor to exterminate the nine clans, and also implicated Lao Qi, and now Lao Qi is still under house arrest!" β
"Can this matter still involve Zhu Rong?" Zhu Song frowned slightly in his heart, pondering this Zhang Xun, eighty percent of whom were promoted by people from Zhu Rong's faction.
Zhu Rong, the seventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, participated in the Northern Expedition during the Hongwu period, so he is often proud of his military achievements, so there are also some Qiang people under his hands, who are officials and generals in the court.
"Oh, house arrest is house arrest, and he's unlucky!" Zhu Song shrugged his shoulders, anyway, these things have nothing to do with his one or two silvers, what is the love!
