Happy times are always short-lived.

When Zhu Yunxi stood in front of everyone like a mascot, handing the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago to the smiling workers lined up in front of him.

His mission had just begun.

When all the red envelopes have been distributed, Zhu Yunxi's task today will be over.

The workers gathered together and looked at the women who used to be only able to look at them from a distance, and performed for them right in front of them.

When the singing and dancing are over, it's time for free activities.

Tomorrow, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be no visit to relatives and friends on the construction site, and nearly 1,000 people will gather in the canteen, chatting, eating meat, and drinking wine.

Game items, naturally, are gambling.

Lao Jia's family is also celebrating the New Year on the construction site this year.

According to what Xiao Jia said, their family was originally from this Xicheng, and this year is also a New Year at home.

Zhu Yunxi, who had been the mascot all night, hid in the back kitchen and looked at the workers outside who were already in a mess through the windowsill in front of him.

Xiao Jia was busy on the small stove next to him for a while, and then brought a tray over.

The tray is placed on a stool with five dishes in it.

A plate of beef and mutton stew, a plate of cold beef and mutton, a plate of fried vegetables, a plate of lo-mei and a plate of fried peanuts in oil.

Xiao Jia put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and brought a wine jug from the stove on the side.

"Your Royal Highness, this is an authentic Shaoxing rice wine from the business, the small one is just a little ginger and red dates to taste, it has been warmed, can you taste it?"

As he spoke, Xiao Jia poured a bowl of steaming Shaoxing rice wine and sent it to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi took the wine bowl and raised his chin at Xiao Jia: "You also pour a bowl, drink some with me, don't refuse." ”

Xiao Jia hesitated, but looking at the appearance of his grandson, he finally nodded his head with a smile, and turned around to get himself a pair of chopsticks.

Bite.

Zhu Yunxi pushed the wine bowl and bumped it with the wine bowl that Xiao Jia was holding in both hands, and then raised his head and drank it all.

The warm rice wine goes down to the stomach, and it just makes people mix and heat up in an instant.

Spit out the turbid breath in his chest, and Zhu Yunxi picked up a few pieces of cold beef and mutton and put them in his mouth.

Sprinkled with crushed peanuts and coriander, beef and mutton from Daqingcheng, the fat on the grassland instantly filled the entire mouth.

Xiao Jia saw that the grandson drank it all, and he didn't dare to keep the bottom, tilted his head and poured a bowl of wine into his stomach, turned his head and coughed several times, and then suppressed the discomfort in his abdominal cavity with the help of green vegetables.

Zhu Yunxi had already eaten fried peanuts in oil at this time, glanced at Xiao Jia lightly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to stick to any rules, I think you only know hot wine, but you don't drink rice wine much." ”

Xiao Jia nodded: "Wine is expensive...... In previous years, the whole family had to save money to live......"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and explained: "This yellow bar is very peculiar. Some people drink white, one pound or two pounds, and nothing will happen. But once you drink rice wine, maybe you will faint after a cup of stomach.

Some people can't drink liquor, but this rice wine can be drunk as water.

You, drink slowly, don't drink blindly, I'll have to drink alone again. ”

Xiao Jia's face was already red, and when he heard this explanation, he nodded again and again.

Then he filled the wine bowl for Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi was no longer the same as just now at this time, just drinking in small sips and eating the dishes in front of him.

"I heard that your father has already gone to look for the Silver Trumpet?"

Xiao Jia nodded in response: "I went to look for it a few times, and the silver number was very polite, saying that after the food city project is calculated, it can be signed with our family, and the accounts will be handed over to the business." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jia stood up again.

Just listen to a bang and a bang.

Zhu Yunxi watched him bring a plate of meat and put it on the tray in front of the two.

"Jinhua's ham, I forgot to cut it before, His Royal Highness drinks wine, and this ham can stimulate the taste the most."

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, according to what Xiao Jia said.

Stuff a slice of ham into your mouth and take a sip of wine.

Sure enough, it was a taste bloom.

The two of them sat on a small bench and hid in the back kitchen to eat.

Zhu Yunxi is mainly responsible for eating, and Xiao Jia is also responsible for accompanying him, and he mixes one or two dishes from time to time.

As a result, there were more and more stools in front of the two, and there were also more and more trays on the stools.

It wasn't until Xiao Jia's cheeks were red that he looked aside, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with confused eyes: "Your Highness...... Villain...... Actually, there is one thing that I don't know......"

Zhu Yunxi put down his chopsticks and rubbed the peanuts with both hands to stuff them in his mouth.

He nodded and snorted, "If you ask, I will definitely tell you what I can say." ”

Xiao Jia covered his face with his hands and rubbed it viciously.

"Your Highness, now it's being said that you might ...... Aren't you in a hurry at all? For so many days, I've been staying here. ”

Xiao Jia's voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke, and in the end, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi laughed: "Just for this? ”

"That's it!" Xiao Jia raised his head, widened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Although the villain is not an official, the villain also knows how much His Highness has done for our people over the years. His Royal Highness is a good person, and the villain's family feels that His Royal Highness must be a ...... in the future."

What must be, Xiao Jia didn't dare to say.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile: "Why do you think I'm a good person?" ”

Xiao Jia nodded vigorously: "Your Highness is a good person!" Over the years, many people have said that His Highness has been killing people, but aren't all corrupt officials and bad people killed?

The villain doesn't know anything else, so let's talk about this Xicheng project. As long as the government gives an order, we must move out obediently.

This time, the government clearly said that it is because of His Royal Highness that those of us who originally lived in Xicheng can have a sum of silver compensation.

There were not many people in Xicheng originally, and most of them were left to work on the project to make money.

The old people said that this was something that they would never have dared to think of before.

Not to mention, Your Highness, if you say a word, the person with the silver number will not make reservations and approve the silver for our family. ”

Zhu Yunxi was silent.

The people actually understand everything, but they have not had a voice all along.

If you evaluate yourself by those who can speak out, it is probably a mixed bag, and it is more likely that you still need to be experienced, and you need to be more stable in your actions.

Xiao Jia saw that Zhu Yunxi had not spoken, so he lowered his head and turned the wine bowl.

After a long time.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Don't worry, as long as you say that I am a good person, nothing will happen, and we can still drink wine and eat meat." ”

Xiao Jia raised his head and blinked: "Is it really going to be okay?" ”

"I'm not drunk, how can I tell a lie!"

Zhu Yunxi glared at him, and saw that Xiao Jia was probably used to cooking rice wine.

picked up his wine bowl and shouted at Xiao Jia: "Come on!" Drink! ”

Xiao Jia is a good seedling for drinking.

Zhu Yunxi drank this wine from the night of the 30th night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day of the first month of the 31st year of Hongwu.

The sky was dark.

Outside, firecrackers were already ringing out.

It's an opener.

Because firecrackers are made of red paper, they are also called good starters.

Ordinary people's homes should be hung up, and it won't ring for long.

The most powerful ones have to be the shops in Nancheng and Zhongcheng.

That's one put louder than the other, and it took a long time. Everyone is afraid that their firecrackers will be inferior to other people's homes, and this year's luck will be lost to other families.

And those official eunuchs and powerful families have begun to fire guns in different ways.

It should be good-looking, loud, and wonderful.

To fry a hall full of colors.

Zhu Yunxi listened to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and stood up with a heavy head.

Xiao Jia was already asleep on his side.

It's because there are stoves all around, and there is still firewood in them, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold.

Zhu Yunxi swept Xiao Jia and went out of the back kitchen.

Outside, it's a mess at the moment.

If you want to clean up, you have to wait until noon for the gang to wake up and clean up.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one will do anything.

Walking out of the cafeteria is the fresh air.

Zhu Yunxi crossed his hands on his hips, slowly twisting his stiff back, and breathed in the cold and pure air outside.

Then he opened his mouth and spat out a puff of white smoke.

Then I walked back to my yard by the lake to wash.

After washing, I was just about to go out when I saw a firecracker already at the door.

I don't know who put it here.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, puzzled for a moment, and looked at the south faintly.

After thinking about it, he turned and went into the house again.

Shaoqing, he already had a fire fold in his hand.

Blow the fire breaker, place the hanging firecracker at the door, and light the fuse.

Zhu Yunxi trotted back to the front porch.

A puff of white smoke came out.

This was followed by the crackling of firecrackers and smoke that swirled throughout the courtyard.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi finally became in a trance.

The cloud of smoke in front of me seemed to be emitting a strange light, and countless things were transforming inside.

All of a sudden, it was a high-rise building, and when it turned back, it was the eternal silence, and then it was the strong Han and the Tang Dynasty, and then the Central Plains Lu Shen.

Until the smoke thins out.

It was as if a dark shadow appeared in the smoke.

As a cold wind blew, the smoke cleared.

It was Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin.

However, Zhu Yunxi, who had regained his sight, frowned.

Zhu Fan, who appeared in front of him at this moment, had a knife pinned to his waist, and the hem of his robe was stained with blood.

His hair was also a little messy, not like the dignity of the prince of the country in the past.

Far away.

Outside the courtyard, there was a group of officers and soldiers, wearing armor and leading horses, staring vigilantly at the surroundings.

Even at this time, there will be no idlers in this place.

"Second uncle?"

Even after washing, as soon as Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, there was still a strong smell of wine in his mouth.

Zhu Fan frowned, glanced at the courtyard, and then extended his gaze to the inside of the house.

Although he stepped forward and walked under the porch.

"I heard you haven't been out of here for a long time? Didn't return to the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, and didn't return to the palace last night on Chinese New Year's Eve? ”

Zhu Yunxi moved a bench from under the wall and placed it under his and Zhu Rong's buttocks.

He leaned against the wall and tilted his head to look at Zhu Zhang.

"Second Uncle is dressed like this, it seems that he was not in the palace last night?"

Zhu Fan waved his hand casually: "I just returned to Beijing and entered the city, and when I heard the news, I rushed over to see you kid first." ”

Zhu Yunxi's nose moved slightly.

It smelled of blood.

I think I killed a lot of people.

He said silently: "Last night......"

Zhu Fan just snorted: "A few dishonest bastards, they don't listen to reason, so the second uncle has to reason with them." Fortunately, the result is very good, they are all obedient, and I will listen to them for Lord Yama when I turn around. ”

It's really Chinese New Year's Eve that he is still doing errands, investigating and killing people.

Zhu Yunxi moved his mouth and didn't ask again what the case was.

Zhu Fan tilted his head, frowned and asked, "You kid hasn't answered my question yet." ”

Zhu Yunxi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Just like the news that the second uncle got when he entered the city, my nephew has been living here recently. ”

Zhu Fan pursed his lips and cut off.

"I don't care where you live. Whether you go back to the palace or not has nothing to do with me.

I'm just curious, how good you are to make that person go south alone, and let out a word, never respond to the sky. ”

Zhu Yunxi was silent.

Zhu Fan is talking about that good-looking woman.

Seeing that he did not speak.

Zhu Fan smiled: "Did you hear that?" As soon as the boat left Songjiang Mansion, he began to vomit nonstop. Think for yourself, what the hell is going to happen to this? Do you enter the jade, or do you never ask? ”

Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't be silent.

What I wasn't sure about now seems to be clear.

He was still a little incredulous: "Really? ”

Zhu Fan stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Zhu Yunxi's head: "Can this matter be fake?" Are you really eating dry rice when you are a sect man? Let me tell you, since she left here, there have been people in the Zongren Mansion who have stayed with her to make sure that everything goes well, and it will not be reported back until ten months later. ”

Heaven's business.

Especially the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, at the beginning of this country, it was very important.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head: "Actually, I didn't go back to the palace this time, in addition to the affairs of the court, I was also afraid that I would be nagged by my grandfather and mothers when I went back." ”

Zhu Fan didn't care, but laughed.

"Speaking of which, it's still your kid's best use."

"I heard that the court is choosing a concubine for your father, and I am going to wait for the old man to make me the queen after the old man.

Your dad hasn't done anything yet, and probably won't be happy to say yes. You're a good kid, you really let our old Zhu family spread out.

If that old handsome is still there, you kid will be beaten even if he flees to the New World. ”

The old handsome refers to Xu Da, the king of Wuning, Zhongshan.

That's the real first person in the Ming military.

If you were really alive, let alone beat yourself. Even if he beats Zhu Zhang, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he has to obediently send it to others.

When the fight is over, you have to ask with a smile.

"Are you tired from your old hands?"

Thinking of such a picture scene, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Fan squinted his eyes and snorted: "Now you know that you are afraid?" Why didn't you know when you were obsessed with it? ”

Talking.

He stood up and patted his buttocks, walked into the courtyard, and looked back at Zhu Yunxi.

"Come with me."

Zhu Yunxi stood up suspiciously: "Where are you going, second uncle?" ”

"Naturally, it's back to the palace, do you still want to catch up with the boat going south?"

Zhu Fan rolled his eyes.

Zhu Yunxi frowned.

"Let's go, follow me to the Taimiao, as for whether you go to the palace or not, it doesn't matter to me."

Zhu Fan added another sentence at this time.

After that, Zhu Yunxi took a step.

Follow behind Zhu Zhang.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, he came so quietly and silently. (End of chapter)
