Chapter 56: The Story of the Story
It's late at night.
In the distance, the sound of the second watch drum was heard.
As the candle went out, Zhu Hao and Jing Hong went to bed separately.
Even if Jing Hong's psychological quality is good, he still shows loneliness and sadness after leaving home, if it weren't for Zhu Hao by his side, it is estimated that he would be able to cry.
The unfamiliar environment made him extremely uneasy, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and he had to look up at the slightest disturbance outside.
Zhu Hao didn't sleep either.
But unlike Jing Hong, Zhu Hao did not have the habit of going to bed early when he was healthy in his previous life, if he still lived alone, he could find something to kill the boredom, but it was always inconvenient to have Jing Hong by his side.
"Don't worry, no one will come at night, just cover your head and sleep."
Zhu Hao mentioned it when Jinghong got up again to check the situation.
Jing Hong's gaze fell on Zhu Hao, who was a little blurry on the other side of the room.
At this time, Zhu Hao was resting his arms with his head resting on his head, facing the ceiling in a daze, looking much calmer than Jinghong, who naturally didn't want to show his cowardly side...... I have lost a chip in knowledge, but I can't compete with my psychological quality and lose again.
"You came a few days before me, and you seem to be used to it."
Jing Hong said.
Zhu Hao ignored him, and he learned to make all kinds of excuses at a young age, and it was not ashamed to admit that his skills were not as good as others.
Boy, why do you have to tell the winner?
Seeing that Zhu Hao ignored him, Jinghong asked, "You can't sleep either?" β
Zhu Hao said: "Your stomach is rumbling, it's so noisy, I can't sleep." β
Jing Hong glanced at his shriveled stomach.
Or he didn't eat enough at night, or maybe the food in the palace was not suitable for his pampered stomach, and he had a bad stomach, and his belly kept making noise after lying down.
"Don't bite the wooden boxβit's hard-mouthed! If you are homesick, just say it, and blame me for your stomach and you can't sleep? With that, Jing Hong learned Zhu Hao's arms under his head and looked at the ceiling.
It's not fun at all!
He really couldn't understand why Zhu Hao stared at the ceiling for so long?
Zhu Hao said: "I don't want to be at home, after all, it's in vain to think about it." β
Homesick?
Reincarnated as a human being, which home should I want?
This place of peace is my hometown, where is my hometown?
The two were silent for a long time.
Jing Hong broke the silence again: "You said that you have been in the palace for a few days, what did you study before that?" Mr. Sui doesn't seem to have mentioned you today. β
Zhu Hao said casually: "Oh, I had some experience in the palace before. β
"Experience!? What is that? β
"Experience is to experience the world, poetry: the edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold...... Life needs experience, if you don't understand, you are destined to become a master...... I'm talking about being a master, referring to the way of studying and taking the imperial examination, the title of the gold list, and the world. β
It was originally a nonsense remark, but Jing Hong was very concerned when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Then how did you learn?" How...... Is it experience? β
Jing Hong found an excuse for his failure in the selection exam, it turned out that it was not that I couldn't do it, but that I had too little experience, and the kid next to me had a crooked way to practice unfathomable knowledge.
Zhu Hao pouted: "If I can tell you, how can I call it a unique secret technique?" β
The conversation between the two reached an impasse again.
Zhu Hao actually wanted to tell him that the unique secret technique is to die once and reincarnate as a human being, and bring the knowledge of this life to the next life, as for whether it can succeed, I don't know, ordinary people can't copy it.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After a long time, there was no movement on Jinghong's side, Zhu Hao couldn't sleep, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and suddenly had the idea of going out for a walk.
But Jinghong on the couch next to him is very troublesome.
This kid is not only his roommate, but also eyeliner, and he may reveal secrets by whatever he does, especially since many of the things he does are not good for the palace.
"Did you sleep?"
At this time, Jinghong suddenly asked again.
Zhu Hao turned his head sideways: "No!" Why? β
Jinghong asked, "I want to go to the thatched house, here at night...... Will there be thieves sneaking in? β
Zhu Hao couldn't help but wonder: "In the land of the palace, if the thieves can come in casually, the guards outside don't have to mix...... Could it be that your county government is often frequented by thieves on weekdays? β
Jing Hong thought about it, stopped talking, wanted to call Zhu Hao to accompany him to the toilet, but felt embarrassed, and finally got up stubbornly and went to the thatched house alone.
When he returned, he was out of breath, and it was obvious that he had come and gone in a hurry and had done something hastily.
"Is there a thief out there?" Zhu Hao asked deliberately.
Jing Hong did not answer.
After Jinghong lay down, Zhu Hao said: "I have a story here, called Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, do you want to hear it?" β
Jing Hong said: "Is it the story of the bandit leader? β
Zhu Hao didn't expect Jing Hong's brain circuit to be very big, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he talked to Jing Hong.
"A long, long time ago, there lived two brothers in a city in a country west of the Ming Dynasty, the elder brother was called Gosimu, and the younger brother was called Ali Baba. After their father's death, they each got a limited amount of property, and they separated from each other to make a living......"
This story is obviously not in line with the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, and the truth in many places does not make sense, and Jinghong will interrupt him from time to time.
ββ¦β¦ Gosimus collected gold coins and carried them to the door one by one, ready to carry them out of the cave and return home. When everything was ready, he came to the closed door, but because of his previous excitement, he forgot what his brother Ali Baba told him to open the door, and shouted: 'Open the door, Big Mac!' 'But the door of the cave is closed......
"Oh, this brother is so stupid, isn't it Sesame to open the door?" Jing Hong commented again.
Gosimus panicked and shouted out all the names that belonged to the beans and grains, but he couldn't remember the name 'sesame'...... Oops, it's late at night, go to sleep! β
Zhu Hao yawned and then kept silent.
This is exactly his purpose, to make Jinghong interested in the story, and then whet his appetite, and gradually make him his own fan. For example, the way he tempted Zhu San and Zhu Si was rabbits, marquees and ice cream, and he had to use some means against an arrogant and arrogant son like Jing Hong.
As Zhu Hao expected, Jinghong was deeply attracted by this exotic story.
"What happened? Let's talk a little more! β
Jing Hong had long forgotten about homesickness and begged.
Zhu Hao sighed, talking about Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, he naturally recalled his life in his previous life, since the rapid rise of a certain giant, this story seems to have been extended to other meanings......
"After talking for so long, my throat is almost smoking, and I don't want to talk anymore...... Why don't I tell you the story of Kerry Baba's transformation? β
Jing Hong: "......"
The two of you said a word, and then I don't know when, Jing Hong actually fell asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound in the room.
Zhu Hao found that he was very good at coaxing children, and actually put Jing Hong, who was helpless on the first day of leaving home, to sleep, this kid always wanted to show arrogance, but in Zhu Hao's eyes, he was just a little kid who liked to pretend to be an adult.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
When Zhu Hao opened his eyes, Jing Hong was sleeping soundly, and his snoring was still the same.
There was a commotion in the courtyard, but the guards who kept vigil had returned, and after a brief breakfast, they had to go home to catch up on sleep.
Zhu Hao dressed up and came out to wash, just when Lu Song came in from outside, followed by Lu Bing who was holding a bamboo horse.
From this point of view, Lu Bing's tutoring is really good, at least there is no bad habit of sleeping lazy.
"You are here first, don't run around, I'll take you to the school house after breakfast in a while......"
Lu Song said a word to his son, glanced at Zhu Hao with a slightly warning gaze, and then took a few guards to check the posts everywhere.
After Lu Bing waited for his father to leave, he jumped up and down in front of Zhu Hao on a bamboo horse, and said with a smile: "I'm here." β
Zhu Hao spit out the mouthwash, looked at the elated kid in front of him, and asked, "Why are you so happy?" Do you like to come to the palace to study? β
When Lu Bing heard the word reading, he immediately frowned.
Obviously, for him, reading is hard work.
The Lu family has high expectations for Lu Bing, but the problem is that he is too young, whether it is the Lu family or the palace, his education is a bit of a seedling.
Zhu Hao poured out the washing water in the basin and walked into the house with the empty basin, while Lu Bing followed behind like a fart.
When I entered the house, I saw that Jinghong had already gotten up and was dressed.
"Zhu Hao, the story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" you told yesterday, did Alibaba kill all the thieves later?"
As soon as Jinghong woke up, he began to dwell on the unfinished story.
Zhu Hao smiled but did not answer.
Lu Bing asked with a puzzled expression, "What story?" β
Zhu Hao continued to be silent.
Until breakfast, Jing Hong was still in a reverie, deliberating what the ending of the story was, and Lu Bing simply ate a few bites and pulled the food into Zhu Hao's bowl - what the family background is, it is clear at a glance.
The conditions in Lu Song's family are obviously better, and it is difficult for women in ordinary families to find work, but the Lu family belongs to "strong women and weak men", Lu Song seems to be a royal pawn with a certain identity and status, but more of a wife's light, who made his wife the nurse of the prince?
"Lu Bing, where is your father?"
Zhu Hao didn't have much appetite either, so he took a bite of food and asked.
Jing Hong, who was on the other side, looked over.
Zhu Hao and Lu Song didn't eat much, while Jing Hong was hungry, so he looked forward to breakfast since he got up in the morning, and he had to try to eat more so as not to be noon.
Lu Bingdao: "My father has something to do, if he doesn't come, I know the way, you just follow me." β
Speaking of which, he was immensely proud.
Although Lu Bing is the youngest of the three, it is obvious that he is not new to the palace, and he has a relationship with his mother, so he must have often come to the palace to play in the past, just like the children in the palace.
"Okay, then you can take me in later, and if you can, show me on the way, where it is and how to get there."
Of course, Zhu Hao wanted to take advantage of Lu Bing's familiarity with the palace to learn more about the surrounding environment.
"Hmm."
Lu Bing nodded heavily.
Zhu Hao was about to go out with Lu Bing to breathe, and casually pushed the bowl in front of Jing Hong.
Jing Hong didn't care about being reserved, and moved his chopsticks and mouth at the same time, striving to eat as soon as possible.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The sun is shining.
Before the three small ones entered the study room in the inner courtyard of the palace to study, Lu Song rushed back.
If there were only Lu Bing and Jing Hong, Lu Song could let them enter on their own, and the guards of the palace would not have any worries, and they could help each other.
But with Zhu Hao here, Lu Song was always at ease, and he had to personally send Zhu Hao, the "plague god", to the palace school.
"Dad, I'm already friends with Zhu Hao and Jing Hong...... Shall I play with them in the future? β
Lu Bing was like a blank sheet of paper in front of the two eldest children, and his words were full of childishness, and his innocent nature was unconcealed, which made Lu Song feel very worried.
Lu Song glanced at Zhu Hao, his face was worried, obviously afraid that Zhu Hao would bump his son's jade into a few scars.
"Lu Dianzhan, when school ends at noon, will we also go back here for lunch?" Zhu Hao tried his best to look more like a child and asked.
Lu Song said: "Whenever you go out of the inner mansion, you must be accompanied by someone, and you must not act alone." β
Zhu Hao smiled and asked, "Even if we know the road when we go back here, we have to find someone to watch?" What if you can't find anyone? β
Lu Song's face was gloomy and he did not answer.
Lu Bing volunteered: "I know the road, I'll just bring you over then...... Dad, leave everything to me, I can do it! β
"Hmm."
Lu Song nodded in approval.
Just now, he felt that his son was too naΓ―ve, but at this time, he suddenly felt that his son had grown up, and he thought that if his son was always staring at Zhu Hao, once there was any trouble, his son should not hide himself, right?
There is such a small eyeliner......
Fine!
