Tianshuijing Hutong is under the root of the southern imperial city of Dong'anmen, and the mouth of the alley faces west, which is a dead end, and the inverted houses of the two standard courtyard houses at the end of the east end are opened up and merged into one.

It was already noon, and Ren Rongrong was concentrating on writing and painting in front of the desk by the window in the east ear room at the moment, and she kept babbling something.

Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed in a round-necked brown and green robe, tiptoed in, and listened to her say without raising her head, "Shi Xing, Mr. is sick again today?" ”

According to Wang Chengen's report, in order to facilitate access to the palace, Ma Xingcijing's mother and son were arranged next door to the new house that Wei Jinzhong had purchased for Ren Rongrong, which meant that Ren Rongrong would take this as an example. At this time, the 'Shi Xing' in Ren Rongrong's mouth is Ma Zheng's youngest son, who is the same age as the fifth brother and is attending a private school.

Zhu Youxiao was silent, and when he went behind him, he happened to see the big pearl earrings on Ruyu's delicate little ears swaying gently, and leaned over to see what she was writing.

Ren Rongrong felt that she was approaching behind her, and she didn't look back, and said flatly, "Stay away from my sister, didn't Mama Xing tell you that 'men and women don't kiss or not'?" But do you want to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots? ”

……

There was no response, Ren Rongrong finally realized that something was wrong, according to Ma Shixing's usual temperament, she should have shouted outside the second door, and was about to turn around, when there was a louder and louder sound of somewhat suppressed breathing next to her right ear, as if she felt a gust of hot air pouring in.

"Ah, you are bold..."Ren Rongrong was frightened and quickly turned her head sideways, but when she saw that the Holy Face of the Son of Heaven was close at hand, she became surprised and inexplicable, "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Youxiao didn't move, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a few white teeth, he first stared at Ren Rongrong's eyes, then his gaze moved down to her pink nose, and then to Yin Hong's small mouth......

Ren Rongrong's cheeks flushed slightly, she turned her head shyly, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Your Majesty ......"

Seeing her shyness, Zhu Youxiao's index finger moved, stretched out his right hand to straighten her chin and straighten her tender face, stared at her eyes, and pretended to be frivolous and said, "Come, give Ye a smile." ”

Ren Rongrong's mind was blank, and she forgot to resist in a daze, and she also forgot that she should cooperate, only feeling that her whole body was sore and weak.

Seeing that she didn't react, Zhu Youxiao was not interested, so he let go of his hand and straightened up, picked up a stack of small white cotton paper on the table that had been cut into the size of B4 in later generations, and wrote some words such as 'October 19: Harvest walnuts and pound a thousand catties, the silver is two hundred and two; Hazelnuts are three catties, and one hundred and three taels of silver are worth three cents.

"You're going to use this to keep accounts? You just keep accounts like this" Zhu Youxiao shook the paper and asked with a frown.

Ren Rongrong took advantage of the Son of Heaven to read the accounts and came back to her senses, got up and stood to the side, before she had time to salute, she looked up and saw that the person she was thinking about day and night was looking at the accounts she had made seriously at the moment, and she wanted to ask for credit, but listening to the frivolous and angry question between him and the two just now, her heart was cold.

"Your Majesty, but there is a mistake in the accounts?"

"This price is much cheaper than that of Dongchang, although the accounts are correct, but this way of accounting is wrong, and it is very wrong." Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to Ren Rongrong's expression, and said to himself, "Bookkeeping should be done in the account book, the page number should be indicated, and there should be a half-print (riding seal) on the side of the book to prevent missing pages...... Didn't anyone teach you any of this? ”

Ren Rongrong had also heard that the 'empty seal case' that happened at the beginning of the country, the case had killed thousands of people, thinking that Zhu Youxiao suspected that he was making false accounts, and knelt down and said, "Every account made by the people has been checked repeatedly, and she has not filled her own pockets, she originally wanted to ask for the account room in a few days, but I don't know the details, so I ask the emperor to surrender." ”

"You...... I didn't say that you have a lot of money, but there are rules for doing accounts, so if you are bound with a single page of records, if you accidentally miss it, wouldn't it be bad if the accounts are not right? ”

"The folk girl knows that she is wrong."

Zhu Youxiao helped him up, "Get up, don't kneel at every turn, there is no one else here." In addition, I don't call myself a people's girl, a people's girl, I listen awkwardly. ”

Ren Rongrong got up, wrung her hands, pouted, and said 'oh'.

Zhu Youxiao was a little unbearable when she saw her aggrieved appearance, after all, she was still a yellow-haired girl, she should find a teacher for her, and felt that her tone was a little too heavy just now, but she didn't mean to apologize, so she turned around and called out, "Wang Chengen, go and see Master Xing." ”

"Your Majesty, you are specifically here to see the people...... Mine? Ren Rongrong didn't seem to go next door when she heard the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and her heart suddenly became sweet again, and she asked boldly.

"No, it's too."

Ren Rongrong lowered her head as soon as she finished asking, she was originally a little shy, but now she turned into doubts, tilting her head and blinking her sparkling eyes, which were full of doubts.

Zhu Youxiao put down the bill, pulled the chair, sat down with a big horse golden knife, crossed Erlang's legs, supported his head with his left hand on the desk, and asked without answering, "What?" Not welcome? Then I'll go. ”

Ren Rongrong smiled happily at Zhu Youxiao's lips but didn't mean to leave, and then shook her hands and said, "I didn't mean that, it's too late for people to be happy." ”

Although Ren Rongrong's voice was weak in the second half of the sentence, Zhu Youxiao still listened to it really and explained, "Today's birthday, the gentlemen said that they would talk about it for a day, and they originally wanted to be lazy and sleep back to the cage, and they didn't want the officials to salute, so they didn't sleep." Later, I heard that Song Yingxing had settled in Beijing and was placed in the Taiji Factory, so I walked out. When you arrive at the Taiji Factory, Wang Chengen said that your new home is not far away, so you will come. ”

Although Ren Rongrong didn't know who Song Yingxing was, she knew that the Taiji Factory was in the south of Wangfujing, and it was only two miles away from here.

Zhu Youxiao was speechless at Ren Rongrong's undisguised appearance, and said loudly, "I said, it's my birthday today." ”

"Ah, Rong Rong knows, didn't the emperor issue an edict 'The Emperor is in the funeral, and the celebration of Halloween is exempted'?"

"......" Zhu Youxiao was full of black lines, got up and approached Ren Rongrong, and gently poked his finger twice on her head, "Don't look at the hour, I'm hungry." ”

"Ahh......h Ah, Your Majesty, you haven't eaten yet. ”

"What nonsense, hurry up and order someone to send some food."

Ren Rongrong nodded fiercely, rushed out, went back and forth after a while, leaned on the door, exposed half of her head and asked, "Your Majesty, have you eaten Shou noodles?" ”

Zhu Youxiao showed signs of going violent, crossed his hands on his hips, and exhaled a breath of turbidity before he asked in a bad voice, "What do you say?" ”

Boom, boom, boom, there was the sound of Ren Rongrong's footsteps moving away from outside the door, Zhu Youxiao found that Ren Rongrong seemed to be a different person, far from the previous image of a little adult, and he didn't know what the problem was, so he had to smile wryly and shake his head and sit down again, staring at the accounts on the table in a daze.

Now in the world, the surname is Zhu, and his relatives are the most, but Zhu Youxiao can no longer experience family affection except from his fifth brother, and it is all Chiguoguo's interest entanglement.

Just a few days ago, Zhu Youxiao sent six departments to the fiefdoms of King Heng, King Xiang, and King Lingchuan to be canonized according to the rules, and ordered his son-in-law to attack the knight; And Li Ruhua, Zhou Jiamo and other ministers of the court also completely ignored the last orders of the first emperor, and when they encountered the impeachment of the officials, they wrote to ask for reprimand, so that he was in a dilemma.

So today, after he went to Renzhi Palace to worship the emperor, gave delicacies and Changchun wine to the auxiliary ministers, he once again went out of the palace under the escort of Wang Chengen, Ji Yong, Zhu Yuanchen and others.

After a while, I heard Wang Chengen report outside the door, "Master, Mrs. Ma is no longer in the house, do you want to go back to the palace now?" Li Niangniang, they are still waiting. ”

Zhu Youxiao got up and walked out of the ear room, came to the West Cross Courtyard, looked up at the palm-sized sky, but thought of his family and friends in the future, and wondered if he was okay......

"Send someone to deliver the decree, I will have dinner with the aunts in the evening, and I will be here at Rongrong at noon."

Wang Chengen wanted to persuade, but when he saw the Son of Heaven's gloomy face, he remembered that it was rumored in the palace that the Son of Heaven and the aunts were not harmonious, and he thought that he might miss his biological mother buried in Xishan on this special day, so he stopped persuading, and said 'The slave obeys the order', and then quietly turned around and retreated.
