At this time, a coquettish laughter suddenly came from behind him: "Wu Guogong, whose poetry are you chanting?" ”

When Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he hurriedly looked back, only to see Ma Xiuying Shi Ran walking in from outside the door with a cup and plate.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Ma Xiuying said: "Can't I come to this place?" ”

"I can come to the ability, there is no place in the house that Mrs. can't come." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said.

Ma Xiuying smiled "fluttering", ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's poor mouth, put things on the table, and then came over and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to make the table bigger.

"What, why does it smell so good?" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang approached the table, he faintly smelled a strange aroma at the end of his nose.

Ma Xiuying immediately uncovered the medicine cup on the cup and plate and said: "This is a pot of chicken stewed for you according to the method passed down by my mother, you seem to taste it, you haven't rested well in the past few days, eat more to nourish your spirit." ”

As soon as the lid on the medicine cup was opened, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smelled an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.

"Why is there such a strong smell of medicine?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the clear chicken soup and asked Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying handed the chopsticks to Zhu Yuanzhang and said irrevocably: "You take a bite first, and I'll tell you why." ”

"Okay, I'll take a taste and see how the craftsmanship goes." Zhu Yuanzhang felt hungry first, and secondly, the food brought by Ma Xiuying looked extremely attractive, so he couldn't help but move his index finger.

After taking a bite, I found that the chicken had been stewed crispy, melted in the mouth, fat but not greasy, and very delicious.

So Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang ate a few more bites, but after eating half a cup, he felt that the medicinal taste was extremely strong, so he stopped eating.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked Ma Xiuying, "Why is the medicinal smell so thick." ”

When Ma Xiuying heard this, she immediately grabbed the spoon and took a bite, tasted it carefully and said, "Strange, I don't seem to have a lot of medicinal herbs." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Xiuying thought of the reason, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I understand what the hell is going on, I started stewing this cup when I got up in the morning, and I originally planned to give it to you this morning, but you and Li Shanchang talked in the house all morning, and I couldn't come in and bring it to you, so I had to continue to put it on the fire and boil it slowly, and it has been about eight or nine hours now, maybe the medicinal smell has been boiled out by me, so the medicinal smell in the cup is stronger. Why don't I make you another one? ”

As she spoke, Ma Xiuying was about to take the cups and plates on the table away, but Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly went up to stop her and said, "Actually, it's nothing, the medicinal smell is a little heavier, but it can nourish the body." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said as he ate the stew on the table.

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's gluttonous appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab food from you." ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating, Ma Xiuying said to Zhu Yuanzhang while cleaning up the cups and plates: "What do you mean by those poems you chanted just now?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and asked, "What poem?" ”

"It's just what goes around the tree three times, what branches can be followed, it seems to be a bird, I don't understand the next sentence, it seems to be Zhou Gong, what is the world." Ma Xiuying frowned and recalled as she spoke.

"Oh, I know, what I just recited is the poem of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, three turns around the tree, He Zhi can be followed, Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart. It's just a few sentences in it, not a whole poem. Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Then tell me what these words mean." Ma Xiuying asked reluctantly.

"This poem is one of my favorite poems, I seem to have explained it to you before, have you forgotten?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion.

"I'm a woman's family, where do I remember so much, I've almost forgotten it, you can tell me about it again." Ma Xiuying obediently pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang.

As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with her eyes. The gaze is calm.

Since Ma Xiuying married Zhu Yuanzhang, she has been planning for Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly, and everything she has done is for Zhu Yuanzhang's sake. Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of respect for her in his heart, although he doesn't have a lot of love. As the so-called distressed couples, this is probably the case. Therefore, sometimes what others say may not work, and most of what Ma Xiuying said, Zhu Yuanzhang can listen to it.

He saw that Ma Xiuying's expression was calm, as if he was really asking about poetry, and he didn't mean anything else, so he didn't think about it anywhere else.

He knew that Ma Xiuying might have really forgotten, so he casually explained to Ma Xiuying: "Actually, there is nothing difficult to explain, when Cao Cao made this poem, he was about to unify the world with great ambitions, and he felt that his life was short but he had to do an extremely long thing, so he felt that there was a lack of talents and he urgently needed the assistance of talents." The bird in the poem is used as a metaphor for people, so as to refer to the talent attributed to the wise and wise male lord, and Zhou Gong Tubu is to say that when the sage Zhou Gongdan assisted the British Lord, even if he heard that a wise man was visiting during the meal, he would immediately spit out what he had eaten to greet the visitors, and it was because of this that he assisted the British Lord to achieve the royal hegemony. ”

Ma Xiuying nodded and said: "That is to say, when you meet talents, you must respect them, is this right?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and said: "You can think so. ”

Ma Xiuying pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "If this is the case, the concubine thinks that Wu Guogong has done something extremely inappropriate. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I didn't handle anything properly, but it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Ma Xiuying hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that Wu Guogong locked up General Xu Da and wanted to kill General Xu Da, so it is really not the British lord's doing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard this: "What do women know, quickly pack up your things and get out of here." ”

Ma Xiuying replied: "Since Wu Guogong also understands the truth that Zhou Gong vomits and feeds, and the world returns to the heart, please ask Wu Guogong to think about how to deal with General Xu Da." ”

put aside this sentence, Ma Xiuying left with the cup and plate without looking back.

Ma Xiuying came to the kitchen and was about to clean up the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, when suddenly a person flashed out from behind the door and asked Ma Xiuying urgently, "Xiuying, how are things?" ”
