The courtyard is not very big. In the huge Imperial City of Zhongdu, the entire courtyard is like a gravel in the sea.

But the courtyard is also full of organs, and for people, it is large. The three-bay main house, built next to the palace wall, has a few green pines growing haphazardly, bending, trying to rise above the palace wall.

On both sides there were miscellaneous houses and rooms, with drying racks in the courtyard, and on the side was a small pavilion that was obviously homemade, and on one side was a bouquet of flowers inserted in a jar on the tea and dinner table with dead wood planed.

The bouquet is the most common wildflower in the countryside at this time, but it is very delicate, and it is obvious that it was only picked today.

Under the red palace wall, there is a firewood pile against the wall, which seems to be to ensure that these firewood will not be exposed to the wind and sun, and a rain canopy is also built on the top.

In the spare space in the corner of the courtyard, there are several cages, in which three or five chickens and three or five ducks peck at the vegetable leaves and rice bran that have been put in.

The sound of chopping wood was constantly coming from the courtyard. The little smoke from the chimney gradually dyed the palace walls.

This is the first meeting since Zhu Yunxi sent the waste people on the ship and saw them off at the East Water Gate Wharf in Yingtian City.

In Zhu Yunxi's sight, the wasted man was wearing a hemp gray dress, which was the dress of ordinary people, but it was very clean after being washed, although there were occasional sewing places.

His hands were a little rougher, but he was quite skilled in chopping wood, and he was familiar with the road, and in a short time, a large circle of firewood of just the right size and size was scattered at his feet.

Zhu Yunxi's first shout did not attract the attention of the wasted people. Sun Cheng, Tian Mai, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu looked at the hands of the wasted people who kept falling, banging, and cutting the axes of firewood one by one, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, and the hands of the four people were tacitly pressed on the handle of the knife on their waists.

Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu were a little surprised and touched. The wasted people really regard themselves as ordinary people, and they live an ordinary life, and they are all hands-on in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The waiters in the Imperial City of Zhongdu, who were waiting on the side, wanted to step forward and shout at the wasted people, but they were stopped by Zhu Yunxi raising his hand.

He was not in a hurry, so he let the smoking chimney and look at the sky again, and it was almost time to eat.

"Erlang, the meal is almost ready, you go pick the green onions and send them in, and then wash the bowl quickly, and we can open the ......" A beautiful woman who was not very beautiful, but also cleaned up, appeared from the room, stood behind the door, and shouted outside, but in the end, when she saw those people who suddenly appeared under the courtyard door, the words stopped, and her eyes showed a nervous and uneasy look.

Peng. A piece of firewood was cracked open by Zhu Yun and landed on the firewood pile scattered by the stack. There was another bang, and the axe was cut into the stack by Zhu Yunwen, and the axe handle was obliquely upward.

"Done so quickly? You ...... hard work" Zhu Yunwen also said hard work as usual, but he looked at the woman's gaze, but he was stunned.

The woman walked out of the room, came to Zhu Yunwen's side, and hugged Zhu Yunwen's arm with both hands.

Zhu Yunwen patted the woman's forehead and turned around slowly.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." Zhu Yunxi said very politely, with a surging smile on his face, looking very relaxed.

The woman beside Zhu Yunwen became more and more nervous, and the uneasy look on her face became more and more obvious. Zhu Yunwen's brows moved slightly, but his eyes did not change at all, he was just silent, as if he had not expected the current scene, and he was unexpectedly surprised by the people who suddenly arrived.

The waiter in the Imperial City of Zhongdu on the side couldn't help but speak: "This is His Royal Highness Taisun, you two should come over to pay respects." "These people are all human spirits, and the imperial grandson is calling the waste person the second brother at this time, and they can't call each other a waste person.

It seems to be because of the reminder of the chamberlain. Zhu Yunxi held the hand of the woman next to him with his backhand, and gently patted the back of the other party's hand to appease, and then stepped forward lightly, still five or six steps away from Zhu Yunxi.

"Grass people......" Zhu Yunxi's face was calm: "Second brother doesn't have to be like this. Zhu Yunwen, who had just given up, really stopped, put down his hands, and continued to hold the hands of the woman next to him.

Gao Yangzhi raised his eyebrows. This scorched man is quite interesting now. Zhu Yunxi just smiled: "This time I was ordered to return to Fengyang, firstly, to pay tribute to the Duke of Xinguo, and secondly, to see how the second brother is now, but what needs to be improved." Zhu Yunwen still has no obvious expression on his face, it seems that he has now achieved the realm of pure heart and few desires, no quarrel with the world, and nothing will be touched.

He just said softly, "Is that what Your Majesty meant?" ”

"That's what I mean, too." Zhu Yunxi nodded and continued: "I entered the city before, and went to the Xinguo Mansion with the officials of the Central Capital and Huaiyou, and paid tribute, which made people feel a little sad. After running around for days, I wanted to enter the imperial city to rest, and I also came to meet my second brother. The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth moved, looked at the number of people around Zhu Yunxi, and said: "I haven't prepared many meals at home, since I have seen it, please ask His Highness to go back, and the Imperial City of Zhongdu will arrange all kinds of things for His Highness." When he said this, the woman beside him immediately frowned and gently pulled him.

The woman was blessed and whispered nervously: "It's time for dinner now...... Your Highness will go inside and wait for a while, and the women will cook a few more dishes. Zhu Yunwen's calm face finally changed a little, frowned slightly, and glanced at the woman with some dissatisfaction.

This guy is really different. Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi's appearance and reaction, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said: "I think this is the second sister-in-law, and I don't have to worry about the second sister-in-law." The food must have been prepared in the imperial city, and I asked someone to pick it up and send it over, so I used it as a home-cooked meal and used it together. As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant who followed him immediately answered.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, the slave and maid will arrange it." As he spoke, the chamberlain was already out of the courtyard. Zhu Yunxi's face was written with helplessness, and he frowned and looked at Zhu Yunxi twice, unable to figure out why this person was so thick-skinned now.

He was a little puzzled, and he had countless intricate feelings in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, it was difficult to distinguish them.

Zhu Yunwen turned to look at the woman: "Qiu Niang, I'm hungry." Qiu Niang looked left and right, and finally felt that her man's words were the most important, and nodded: "I'll start the pot and start the meal!" Zhu Yunwen said again: "Take out the jar of wine at home." Qiu Niang didn't look back, just walked into the room, and the voice came out.

"That's to be saved for the holidays...... Forget it, I'll give you two sips today......" The woman's babbling voice always calms people's minds.

Zhu Yunxi watched all this silently, stepped forward lightly, he didn't care about Zhu Yunxi, just walked into the courtyard, looked at the surrounding houses, and went all the way to the small pavilion with four pillars and a roof.

"Come and sit down, count it today, but I'm still waiting for dinner." Zhu Yunxi greeted Gao Yangzhi and a few people.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunwen's face twitched a little, and his eyes moved to the side, unwilling to look at someone who had already sat in the pavilion.

Gao Yangzhi and the others entered the pavilion, and after sitting down, they bowed their heads one after another. The matter of the two brothers, the slightest carelessness will affect the pond fish.

"Erlang doesn't know how to get some tea." Qiu Niang walked out of the room with a pot of water and a few lamps, complaining about Zhu Yunwen's lack of etiquette.

The teapot and teacup were placed on the table, and Qiu Niang squeezed out a smile and said, "The meal will be ready soon, Erlang will accompany you." So saying, the woman went into the room again with her hands and feet.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the teapot that was sent out, and the tea leaves were soaked in the pot. This is the favorite way of the villagers, and if they want to brew tea, no one wants it, but it is cumbersome and cumbersome.

He looked sideways at Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting under the pillar in the pavilion: "The second brother is blessed to be able to marry such a virtuous second sister-in-law." ”

"Your Highness came to see the grass people today, and I think you will know about it in the near future." Finally, Zhu Yunwen spoke again, but his face was still calm.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and even Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu couldn't help but look up at the scorched man in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, and simply nodded: "The imperial court will know soon, and it will be printed in the Di Bao and Daming Wen Bao." Zhu Yunwen smiled, didn't speak, just poured a cup of tea for himself.

Zhu Yunxi also poured a cup and took two sips. The tea soup is in the stomach, after all, it is to quench thirst.

He opened his mouth and said: "The imperial court is implementing a new policy, and although I have often covered it up in the court over the years, it is inevitable that the importance of the attack will be known. Grandpa Huang didn't want my family to have a fratricidal thing. And I think that my Ming Zhu family will not be like the former Tang Li family. Zhu Yunwen had a smile on his face, but he didn't look good: "So, you came here to do this drama to appease the hearts of those people." As soon as the report is issued, those who are uneasy in their hearts will see His Royal Highness's brothers, friends and brothers. The world can also know that His Royal Highness is not a ruthless murderer. ”

"Not really." Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and refuted Zhu Yunxi's speculation. Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu and others on the side were already beating drums in their hearts at this moment.

Is this something you can hear? I really want to get out of the palace. Zhu Yunwen also showed a puzzled gaze, looking at Zhu Yunxi, hoping that he could give a different explanation.

"The dish is ready...... this is, if there is Qiu Niang's happy voice in the room. Then, under the gaze of everyone, I saw that Qiu Niang was shrouded in a cloud of white smoke, and walked out of the room with the prepared meal.

"The folk women are not skilled in their craft, and the family is also a little poor, just a few ordinary dishes, fortunately the palace eunuch takes care of them, and the oil and water are enough." Qiu Niang was talking and explaining, but her hands were busy with work, taking out the rice bowls and dishes that were packed in the sieve and placing them on the dining table.

Zhu Yunxi and the others looked at the meal that had been set up by Qiu Niang, and then couldn't help but look up at the woman who walked to the room again to get wine.

There are only five dishes on the table. However, it is clear that the latter two were added on an ad hoc basis. In addition to the first three home-cooked side dishes, the last two dishes should not be cut so thick bacon, and the large scrambled eggs mixed with chopped green onions.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi silently: "It's always been so bitter? Before Zhu Yunwen could speak, Qiu Niang had already come out again, holding a pot of wine and a bowl of oil beans.

Bang bang bang. Several bowls were lined up, and Qiu Niang opened the wine jug and divided the wine in turn. In an instant, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of wine.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the side and stretched out his head involuntarily, as if he wanted to confirm how much was left in the wine jug.

Qiu Niang poured wine for a few people and got up. Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his head and said: "Second sister-in-law, sit down, don't be stubborn." Qiu Niang glanced at Zhu Yunwen and waved her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead: "The women don't understand what you're saying, just let my Erlang accompany you, there is still some work to be done on the women's side." With that, he was leaving.

Zhu Yunwen immediately spoke: "Sit down, work hard to cook a meal, and always have a full stomach before talking about anything else." Qiu Niang was stunned, but her face was still with that simple and somewhat nervous smile.

Waiting for Qiu Niang to sit down, Zhu Yunwen said: "Life is not hard, it is far better than those people outside the city." Zhu Yunxi frowned and said: "Xinguo Bus is in those fields of the second brother...... Zhu Yunxi reached out and grabbed Qiu Niang's restless hands hidden under the table, and looked sideways at Zhu Yunxi: "Because I saw that those people were living harder, the land was given to them to plant." With that, Zhu Yunwen took a sip of wine, ate two oil beans, and chewed bacon.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Then how do you live?" Qiu Niang looked at the look in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The palace has food every year, and some meat will be sent over at four o'clock and five festivals." There was some open space in the north of the imperial city, and Erlang and the women asked someone to grow some vegetables, so that it would be enough for the two of us to eat and drink. ”

"What about the usual use?" Zhu Yunxi couldn't help asking. Qiu Niang wanted to continue to explain, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Qiu Niang can make sugar water, and I also learn to help people do some carpentry work, and I can always get some money to save every day." "The Moderate Imperial City is really strictly enforcing the matter of imprisoning and guarding the wasted.

Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly, took a sip of wine, and motioned to Gao Yangzhi and a few people to move quickly. At this time, the chamberlain of the Moderate Imperial City also brought people and sent the palace to get the news today, and began to prepare a meal for the imperial grandson.

Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi would give away all those fields to the people, but he learned carpentry.

In the past, the royal nobles can now do such ordinary things, even Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunxi twice.

However, Zhu Yunwen's face was always calm. He just held Qiu Niang's hand tightly, drank wine quietly, and ate the food silently.

Only after all these things have been done. He would take the time to speak.

"Zhu Yunxi, you are really amazing!" ……………… Recommended commuter passes
