Chapter 9: Son, I'm Your Mother
"Son?"
Zhu Tong was stunned, and Queen Ma also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she said, "Child, sit down and let us take a good look." ”
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Tong carefully, looking at these delicate eyes, she was the happiest mother in the world at this moment.
Zhu Tong thought that he should have heard it wrong.
Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on either side of him.
He was a little confused, he didn't know which one Queen Ma was singing, looking at these two people, he felt indescribably in his heart, a little kind, but a little awkward, he seemed to be their son, and he was not so intimate with his son, like a newborn son......
However, the previous worries have long since disappeared, and it is certainly not a bad thing to look at this situation.
"Mother, you... This is... Why? Zhu Tong asked hesitantly.
Seeing that Zhu Tong was a little puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Queen Ma a look, smiled and explained: "Little baby, don't be nervous, the queen said that she wanted to thank you, this is not to see that you are young, but your medical skills are not ordinary, so I came to see you." ”
"However, don't see outside, you saved our queen's life, and we are just like our own family."
Zhu Tong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only relaxed a little, forget about my own family, how dare I, a grass people, claim to be a family with the emperor, thank you for saving your life, it is reasonable, especially the powerful people are more than one life.
"Kid! What's your name? Queen Ma asked kindly, never leaving Zhu Tong.
"Back to my mother! Grass people Zhu Tong. This sentence is said but it is not at all consistent with the way I am now, when others reply to the queen's mother's words, they are either kneeling or bowing, and I am now completely sitting with the Ming Emperor and the queen like a family.
Queen Ma was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "Who else is there at home?" ”
"Back to my mother! The grass people also have a younger sister who has not yet come out of the cabinet. Zhu Tong replied.
Queen Ma took Zhu Tong's hand again and asked, "Twenty-six years old today, right?" Is there a marriage arrangement at home? ”
Huh? How does Queen Ma know my age, is it by looking at my face? But it's normal for people of this age to guess.
"Niangniang has good eyesight, the grass people are indeed twenty-six, and they have never been married."
Zhu Yuanzhang has not inserted a word since he entered the door, at first he thought, my sister's illness is just right, let's let her talk to Tong'er first, but now he has put our father aside, and we miss our son. Then he snatched the words stiffly:
"Baby! I heard you say that you wandered outside when you were young, and we were also a hard-working baby when we were young, can you tell us how we have come over these years? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were asked to her heart, and she also wanted to know how her son had come over these years, but she was afraid that the mention of the past would make her son sad, so she endured it and didn't ask, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang asked, she wanted to hear it and was worried.
Zhu Tong recalled slightly, and his face was slowly covered with a layer of deep gloom.
Looking at her son's reaction, Queen Ma still smiled and said, "Child, don't embarrass yourself, let's not mention it if we don't want to talk about it." ”
"It's nothing, it's all gone, and I can't talk about it." Zhu Tong said lightly, it can be seen that there have been a lot of hardships over the years.
"Back then, because of the war and my parents were separated in Haozhou, I didn't know anything except that I remembered that my name was Zhu Tong and I was six years old, I didn't know where my home was, and I didn't know where to find my mother."
"Because I wanted to find my father and mother, I didn't know anything, and I had nowhere to go, so I could only beg along the Qinhuai River with the displaced people.
"I almost starved to death several times, went to the grave to steal tribute, and dug up bird eggs on the tree, so I came all the way to Yingtianfu, but I didn't find food in Yingtianfu for several days, and I fainted from hunger, and my father-in-law happened to pass by, saved my life, and gave me a relatively stable home."
When Queen Ma heard her son's miserable experience, she couldn't help crying, "My son has been looking for his father and mother, my son has suffered, and my mother is sorry for you!" I want to talk to you if my mother has a belly, but I still have to endure it, and I just want to tell you directly that my mother is by your side. ”
Queen Ma couldn't help but hug Zhu Tong directly, crying, Zhu Tong looked at the scene in front of her, turned her head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty.... This...."
"Baby, it's okay, the queen was born sentimental, don't care!" Zhu Yuanzhang said this on the surface, but muttered in his heart, she is your mother, she can't dislike your mother! Otherwise, how sad your mother will be!
After a while, Queen Ma's mood gradually calmed down, and Zhu Tong also came back to her senses, glanced at the two of them, frowned slightly, and muttered in her heart: "They summoned me alone to ask questions?" Said that it was to thank me for coming in, and I didn't say thank you, but I was stunned to check the account. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang carefully caught Zhu Tong's doubts, smiled, and explained: "We are not at ease with the imperial doctor, and we want to trouble the baby to come to the palace every day to boil medicine, so we can rest assured." ”
Zhu Tong suddenly realized, it turned out that he was going to trouble me to boil medicine, I thought what was the matter, I was stunned, and when I saw Zhu Yuanzhang so kindly invited, he said, "No problem!" Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma glanced at each other and nodded with satisfaction.
......
"Your Majesty, is there anything else you need to tell the grass people?" Zhu Tong got up and asked, ready to leave, he has been busy in the palace for nearly a day today, and he is really tired.
"There's nothing to do for the time being, go back, rest well, remember to come early tomorrow and boil medicine for the queen's mother" Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Tong wanted to leave, and he didn't continue to stay, after all, this child has been busy for so long, and he is really a little distressed.
Zhu Tong turned around and opened the door and went out, the figure gradually disappeared in the side hall, Queen Ma was still a little reluctant in her heart, her eyes kept disappearing with Zhu Tong, but being able to find her lost son made her very grateful to God.
Seeing Zhu Tong's upright back slowly walking away, shrinking into a small black shadow little by little in the narrow corridor, Xu Da, Tang and the two of them also rushed over, and looked carefully for a while before entering with confidence, just waited for a while, but they didn't dare to easily disturb the reunion between the superior and the eldest nephew.
"Congratulations on the reunion of father and son!" Xu Da, Tang and the two congratulated in unison.
"Sit down!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and after Xu Da and the two took their seats, he said: "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured now, our eldest nephew will honor you well." ”
Queen Ma said happily: "Xu Da, Tang He!" Sister-in-law, thank you both, we finally got this wish, this time we can see our Tong'er every day. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said in his heart: Our Tong'er has suffered so many grievances, we must compensate him well, and his father-in-law has the grace to raise our son, and we can't treat him badly.
"Xu Da! Soup and! ”
"The minister is here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You two go to Tong'er's house now!" Tong'er has any requirements for us to meet! ”
