Chapter 68: A Gift for You
Zhang Erzhen was born in the Ming Xianzong period, and although he didn't know much about the things of the saint today, he also knew a little in the past eight years. The third prince is now the eldest son of the saint, the queen has no son, and there is no concubine so far, and the saint's health is getting worse and worse, and the prince has been set up early to calm the hearts of the people. Zhang Erzhen remembered that Zhang Luan said that the saint is a virtuous king, but the heir is difficult. When Zhang Luan said this, their family had not yet left Shuntian Mansion, and at that time, there were indeed not many heirs in the saint, and only the three princes grew up safely to the age of six. After the three princes were established, the concubines gave birth to dragon sons one after another, and now Zhu Youzhi has five younger brothers. The third prince, Zhu Youji, has a very low biological mother position and has been in the position for many years, and his life as a prince can be imagined......
Zhang Erzhen looked at the poor young man steadily, and it wasn't until Second Master Qiu brought her a bowl of steaming ginger soup that she returned to her chair and sat down, drank the ginger soup in her hand, and watched Second Master Qiu carefully feed Zhu Youzhu to drink the medicine. The brown medicinal juice flowed down his fair face, and the seven-foot man of Second Master Qiu could also take the pure white handkerchief and gently wipe it very carefully, and patiently fed the whole bowl of Chinese medicine.
It was already dark, and Second Master Qiu wanted to send Zhang Erzhen back, but Zhang Erzhen shook his head desperately, grabbed the pear blossom wood chair and stool and didn't let go, saying that he would wait for Zhu Youzhen to wake up and ask for a reward. In the end, she is also an old acquaintance, there was no news last time, Zhang Erzhen was a little worried about Zhu Youji's body, and secondly, she really had nowhere to go. Second Master Qiu found a maid to serve Zhang Erzhen, and instructed the maid Mouton to take Zhang Erzhen to rest in the courtyard next to Zhu Youji. Zhang Erzhen wanted to nest on the long-backed chair and wait for Zhu Youzhu to wake up, Li Shaoxi pushed her out, and muttered "The number of six years of teaching and the name of the square, seven years of men and women do not eat together", Zhang Erzhen had to wrap in wide clothes and go to the next courtyard to rest. She was also tired all day, and fell asleep on the warm bed......
The snow stopped on the second day, it seems that it fell all night last night, the thick snow is half a foot, and it creaks when you step on it, Zhang Erzhen got up early, changed into the emerald blue horse-faced skirt brought by Mouton, wrapped in a silver mouse coat, and pedaled with deerskin brown boots on her feet and went to the next courtyard. Zhu Youzhu hadn't woken up yet, only Second Master Qiu was guarding his side, squinting his eyes. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Second Master Qiu saw the round Zhang Erzhen running straight to His Highness's bed and staring at His Highness, so he said in a dumb voice: "The divine doctor came to take a look, and said that he should wake up later." Zhang Erzhen nodded and said, "It's time to wake up, and it's not a way to sleep like this." Second Master Qiu looked at Zhang Erzhen's immature face with a serious face, and said with some emotion in his heart: "Miss Lao is worried, Your Highness will wake up earlier if you know that you are so worried." Zhang Erzhen was a little embarrassed, the tips of her ears were red, don't blame her for having no resistance to handsome guys, it's a pity that such a good-looking prince is lying on the bed.
Zhang Erzhen moved a short Dunzi with a thick cotton cushion to sit on the edge of the collapse, and chatted with Second Master Qiu without a word, basically Second Master Qiu asked her, and she answered a few words. After a while, Second Master Qiu knew that this girl was the eldest girl from the Wuchang Guanghua Zhi County family, who came to her grandfather's house as a guest, but because she was bullied by the poisonous servants in the house, she ran out of anger and didn't dare to go back. Don't want Second Master Qiu to send someone to inform the master of the Jin Mansion, blowing up Mao and saying that if the Second Master Qiu sends someone to the Jin Mansion to report, she will run away again. Second Master Qiu was also a little puzzled when he saw the girl who was bullied by the servants and didn't dare to go back, knowing that Zhang Erzhen didn't tell the truth, but he didn't want to ask again. Zhang Erzhen is also very helpless, who made her not a master who is good at telling nonsense.
Zhu Youzhu felt a burst of pain in his abdomen, only to feel uncomfortable, woke up in a daze, and knew that he was back again by looking at the familiar navy blue draping cotton tent on the top. Turning his head to look to the side, he saw a delicate and delicate little face, two bends that seemed to be frowning, long eyelashes drooping down to cover his eyes, a pretty and small nose, and a small red mouth - this is a beautiful female doll, but Zhu Youzhi also felt that this female doll was a little familiar. Twisting his eyebrows and thinking about it for a while, he didn't remember, so he raised his hand and prepared to get up. Because Zhang Erzhen got up early, she almost fell asleep again when she squinted her eyes just now, and when she heard the movement, she opened her eyes suddenly, looked at each other, and said happily: "You're awake! You're awake!"
"Is that you?"
Zhu Youzhu looked at those radiant eyes, and knew who she was in an instant. I haven't seen her for a year, this girl has changed so much, her facial features have grown a little, and she looks taller. Zhu Youzhu remembered that when they rode together, even if they were sitting on the horse, she was too petite to touch his shoulder. Zhang Erzhen was just about to open his mouth to continue speaking, Second Master Qiu Li Shaoxi had already stepped in, Zhang Erzhen hurriedly gave way, Li Shaoxi probed Zhu Youji's pulse and listened carefully for a while, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "The Gu poison is stable for the time being, and Your Highness will be fine if you rest for a while." ”
Zhu Youzhu didn't make a sound when he heard this, he couldn't see his expression, Second Master Qiu was already kneeling on the ground and clasped his fists with his hands and said: "Trapped in danger of His Highness, the villain deserves to die, please punish Your Highness." ”
Zhu Youzhu glanced down at Second Master Qiu, his eyes were like torches, and then he raised his head and looked at Zhang Erzhen fixedly. The gaze was far-reaching and long, Zhang Erzhen was a little nervous, she stammered a little as soon as she opened her mouth, and secretly pinched herself, what a useless person, isn't it the prince, I saved his life, and said: "Your nobleman is fine, I saved you this time, counting last time, you owe me two favors." ”
Zhu Youji's face shook unnaturally, he retracted his gaze, asked Second Master Qiu to get up in a hoarse voice, and waved his hand to signal him to go down. Second Master Qiu went down to prepare the medicinal soup and rice, and Li Shaoxi sighed: "Your Highness, now that you are embattled, you should go back to Beijing as soon as possible." Zhu Youzhu nodded and thanked: "Thank you Doctor Li for saving your life." Li Shaoxi continued: "Your poison has grown with flesh and blood, as long as the Gu Mother does not move, the Gu worms will be fine, and your body will be fine for the time being." Now I've only suppressed the Gu worm, you better go back and find the Gu worm as soon as possible, so that you can be completely cured." ”
"This time, we have found an expert in Gu cultivation in southern Yunnan, and we have sent it to the capital in batches, thank you for the concern of the divine doctor, we will set off today. After Zhu Youzhu finished speaking, he paused and continued: "I know that the capital is dangerous and unpredictable, but I have the cheekiness to invite the divine doctor to accompany him into Beijing, if the divine doctor refuses...... It doesn't stop ......."
Li Shaoxi already had an idea and said: "If you are a doctor, you must first have the heart of a Buddha." The old man is not talented, although there is no Buddha compassion, but there is also a way to learn to be compassionate, Your Highness does not have to worry, the old man followed His Royal Highness to Shuntianfu, and he will bother you all the way. ”
Zhang Erzhen looked at Zhu Youzhu carefully, and tried to recall the knowledge related to this prince in his head, did he finally become the emperor? But his head was empty, and a lot of knowledge had disappeared with the eight years of life in the Ming Dynasty. How much Zhang Erzhen regretted it, she knew that she would have read more history books at the beginning, and now she can hold her thighs safely and securely-Zhu Youzhu felt that the big eyes were looking at him, and slowly straightened up and looked at Zhang Erzhen, the serious and cold face made Zhang Erzhen feel uncomfortable, and said in his heart that this thigh is not easy to hold, and quietly moved two steps back.
"Zhang Erzhen, are you afraid of me?" Gently opening her lips, Zhu Youzhu frowned, noticed that her little feet shrank back a little, and saw her wringed hands again.
"Don't be afraid, I'm honored to be remembered by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is brilliant and has good eyes and ears, but you must also pay attention to physical safety, if you lie in the snow for a long time, you will always die." Zhang Erzhen looked at the young man's eyebrows depressed and unhappy, and his expression was awe-inspiring, which was very different from a year ago......
Noticing Zhang Erzhen's surprised eyes, Zhu Youji's expression gradually soothed, and he felt relaxed for a moment. On weekdays, there are murderous opportunities and dangers, and if you accidentally catch the road, you are also on guard against this little girl. Thinking of the gang of assassins yesterday, Zhu Youji's heart swelled with resentment, his slender hands clenched into fists, and his muscles burst out, he was already walking on thin ice, but he was a thorn in the flesh of many people's eyes, if he really wanted to get rid of him, he couldn't let them get their wish!
Zhang Erzhen saw Zhu Youji's hand clutching the gold-rimmed mattress, knowing that he had thought of yesterday's incident, he felt a little unbearable, so he stepped forward with the courage to be cheeky, and persuaded in a crisp voice: "Your Highness has just woken up, don't think about those unhappy things." I fell from a tree during Wuchang that day, and thanks to His Highness's protection of me, I was not killed by those assassins. By the time I woke up, His Highness had already left Gwanghua......" and then said secretly in a small voice: "I will keep Your Highness's jade pendant, it is in the Golden Mansion, and I will return it to you when I have the opportunity." Zhang Erzhen muttered, Zhu Youzhu listened patiently and did not interrupt, this is still the verbose and bold little girl. remembered the way she climbed the wall at that time, there was a smile in her eyes, she raised her hand and gently stroked Zhang Erzhen's sideburns, and said softly: "Although it looks like you have grown up a little, you don't seem to have changed at all." ”
Zhang Erzhen said unhappily: "I see that His Royal Highness has grown in size, in fact, I have also grown, now is the time to run around, now it is about four feet." Zhang Erzhen is very proud, she has indeed grown a lot in the past year, and she no longer has to worry about growing taller at one meter three.
Zhu Youzhu smiled between his eyebrows, listening to Zhang Erzhen's chattering speech again, saying how she saved him yesterday, how heroic and fearless, and awe-inspiring. I hope Your Highness can remember these kindnesses and help her in the future. Second Master Qiu quickly led some small servants in, and served dishes one by one, several white porcelain bowls of eight immortal lotus flowers were filled with clear porridge, stalk rice and red date porridge, glutinous rice and winter bamboo shoot porridge, red bean and japonica porridge, red rice and blood swallow porridge, Zhang Erzhen swallowed a little embarrassed, and she hadn't eaten breakfast yet. Zhu Youzhu was helped out of bed by Qiu Erye, sitting on a rich chair with rounded corners, and wearing a pure white robe like a fairy. Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zhang Erzhen and told Second Master Qiu to fetch a pair of bowls and chopsticks, but Zhang Erzhen sat aside very unceremoniously after hearing this, squinting his eyes and smiling: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness." "Zhu Youzhi didn't like people standing next to him when he was eating, and Second Master Qiu went down with Li Shaoxi after picking up. The room was warm, only the sound of Zhang Erzhen drinking porridge with a porcelain bowl, she didn't seem to have eaten last night, she was too hungry.
"Why did you run out, don't you get in the way if you don't go back?" Thirteen-year-old Zhu Youji's voice was still as elegant as jade, and his words of concern made the listeners cry and the hearers sad. Zhang Erzhen was still eating blood swallow porridge just now, and she also took a radish strip and put it in her mouth. When Second Master Qiu asked her yesterday, she could also smile and fool her, and Doctor Li's concerned eyes didn't move her much, but listening to Zhu Youzhi's cold words, Zhang Erzhen's eyes couldn't help but redden, and her body instinctively began to shed tears, maybe Zhu Youzhi's tragic experience was similar to herself, and she had a sense of being connected to the same fate. What happened yesterday was vivid, and Zhao's fierce eyes made her afraid for a while.
Zhu Youzhu didn't hear the sound of swallowing rice on the side, and looked up suspiciously, the little girl who was as bold as a fighter was quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, Zhang Erzhen was a little embarrassed to donate the silver mouse hair on the cuffs to wipe her tears, and the more she lived, the more she went back, how could she cry like a child in front of a half-year-old child. Zhu Youzhu lowered his eyelids and remained silent, and after a while, he asked leisurely: "Come and listen, I'll solve it for you." Zhang Erzhen originally wanted to blurt out "It's okay", but after seeing Zhu Youji's far-reaching and profound eyes, he swallowed it, and the ghost made the god babble out. Zhu Youzhu continued to eat, but there was no reaction, and finally asked a longer question: "Have you caught that group of bandits and robbers?"
Zhang Erzhen shook her head and said she didn't know, and began to elegantly take the small white porcelain spoon and eat the porridge one bite at a time. Zhu Youzhu glanced at the little girl's listless appearance and said, "You live here first, don't worry about anything else." Zhang Erzhen said sullenly, if she didn't stay here, she would have nowhere to go......
Without Zhang Erzhen's crisp chatter, the two of them finished breakfast in silence. Zhang Erzhen ate too much, couldn't stretch her little belly, so she wanted to go to the garden, and bowed stupidly and got off the dinner table and walked into the yard. The snow outside is very thick, delicate and beautiful, and it is a pleasant beauty that the high-rise buildings in the previous life could not compare. Everywhere is covered in silver, and it is extraordinarily enchanting.
There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, which have led countless heroes to bend their waists! Chairman Mao's poems are always so close to life.
Zhang Erzhen likes the ancient natural environment very much, and always feels that she can't see enough. Zhu Youzhu watched Zhang Erzhen's petite body disappear at the door, feeling a little stunned, and losing the interest in eating, slowly pacing back to the warm collapse. After a while, Second Master Qiu came in, Zhu Youzhu ordered him to close the door tightly, and lowered his voice to instruct, Second Master Qiu knew that it was Miss Zhang's matter and listened carefully, but he was also a little incredulous in the back, a pair of fists and tendons burst out, if it weren't for the master's obstruction here, he would have blurted out and scolded.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter will be handed over to Lao Qiu, and it will be handled properly. ”
Zhu Youzhu said slowly: "If Lord Jin can't do it, and he can't be ruthless, you can help him, and you can't stop doing it-" A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Youji's eyes, and the cold air was overwhelming. Second Master Qiu pushed the door and went out, looking at Zhang Erzhen, who was grinning in the snow, full of sympathy, sighed and walked away quickly and disappeared to the door.
Zhang Erzhen was rolling a big snowball, and at this time she didn't have gloves, so she saved a small one with her bare hands, and then put it on the ground and rolled it bigger and bigger. Roll a big one first, then roll a small one, and with great effort to hold the small snowball onto the big snowball, the cute snowman image appears. Zhang Erzhen turned over the snowdrift again and found dry branches to put out his eyes and mouth, and then went to the small yard where he lived and turned out a fiery red fox fur silver silk long-necked coat and put it on the snowman's body, and turned out a piece of water-red soft satin wrapped on the top of the snowman's head, feeling that this is really a rich snowman, and he is very satisfied with this work.
Zhang Erzhen ran into Zhu Youji's room excitedly, waving his little hand and asking His Highness to come and see. Zhu Youzhu had just laid down, he didn't want to move, he looked at Zhang Erzhen's red and fluttering little face and was also a little interested, he came to the door with his shoes on, and saw a fiery red snow ball from a distance, about the same height as Zhang Erzhen, his eyes were thin and long, and his mouth was big and ugly. You've never seen such a big snowman. Zhang Erzhen couldn't wait to take a group photo with the snowman, waiting to see the look of praise in Zhu Youji's eyes, but seeing Zhu Youzhen enter the room again, Zhang Erzhen didn't ask if she followed, Zhu Youzhen glanced at her cold red hand, and said coldly: "If you don't find a hand stove to hold, you don't need to ask for your hand." It's covered in snow, and my hair is messy, so I don't hurry up and tidy it up. ”
Zhang Erzhen drooped and muttered: "It's not like you haven't seen it, I specially got it for you, just don't praise me, it's still so fierce." Glancing at Zhu Youji, who was still staring at her, he was very dissatisfied and stepped out with small steps. Zhu Youzhu looked through the faint window lattice, and the fiery red snow balls stood quietly in the courtyard, honest and lovely, which he had never seen.
