Kunning Palace.

It's lunchtime.

All the palace maids were driven out of the door, and were asked to withdraw outside the second palace gate, and covered their ears with their hands.

Several palace maids wanted to listen to the movement inside, so they turned back, but the old mother who chased them out smoked a few bamboo strips.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang's family affairs, can you listen to them? It's a long life, isn't it ......"

As she spoke, the two old mothers skimmed the bamboo strips, and stood straight in front of the red wall, covering their ears with their hands, resting their heads against the wall, and closing their eyes.

Before long, there was a series of ping-pong sounds in the house, and more dishes, pots, chopsticks, etc. were smashed out, food was scattered, and soup was splashed.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang also escaped in embarrassment. He was dressed in casual clothes and was disorganized, stained with a lot of food residue, and his scarf was crooked.

The most important thing is his expression, he didn't dare to get angry, he looked aggrieved, and his hands had nowhere to put them: "Sister! Sister! Don't worry......"

"It's not good to be angry! You, can you relax a little and listen to our explanation? This morning, this was the case! You don't understand, you can't do what you say. ”

"Whoosh" a few times, and two black shadows flew out, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly dodged, but almost cut off his beard.

"I don't understand? I don't understand, do I? Queen Ma's angry shouting came from the house. Good for you! Since I don't understand, what else do you have to explain......"

"I don't understand anyway. I only know that you have been sprayed in the hall and spitted on the face, but you only dare to take some small fish and shrimp to open the knife. I don't even care if my son lives or dies! ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired: "I don't want to hear the explanation, do you?" If you don't want to see us, then let's go? ”

As he spoke, he craned his neck, looked into the room, and stepped back cautiously step by step.

But before he had gone far, he ran back happily, all because Queen Ma shouted in a slow tone.

"Zhu Chongba! You're coming back for me......"

"Huh! It's coming, it's coming. Girl ......"

But before Zhu Yuanzhang entered the door, his ears were pinched. Immediately after, a feather duster greeted him in civilian clothes.

"Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang! ”

In a series of abnormal noises, Zhu Yuanzhang dodged left and right, but he didn't really give Queen Ma a few strokes.

A moment later, the pair swept away a place and sat side by side on the threshold.

Looking up and down at the mother-in-law's disgusted face, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Hehe! It's gone......"

"Humph! I'm going to see. Queen Ma pouted, pushed the person away, and spoke amazingly.

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up and widened his eyes: "Don't!" Alas, you don't get involved in this matter, okay......"

"That place in Yangzhou, is it now that you, a queen, can go over casually? Isn't that nonsense? ”

"I'm a mother, I'm going to visit my son who is away from work, what's wrong?" Queen Ma argued.

Later, she complained: "When I came back from worshipping my ancestors, I wanted to see him!" But you're a heavy eight. not only sealed the second child to Yangzhou to endure hardships......"

I said it a few times and called him and his daughter-in-law back to meet him. You're always pushing, too! What should I do if you make me a mother? Yes! ”

When she spoke, Queen Ma cried again, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe her tears: "You said we." How many times a year don't you see the second child? Now I'm even more ......"

"I almost forgot what he looked like. Is he still sick now? I'm a mother. Not to mention taking care of him, you can't even look at him. Is this still human? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang also choked up, he couldn't see Queen Ma crying the most in his life. "Who dares to say that you are not a good mother, Lao Tzu cut him ......"

He flicked his sleeves and said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead? We don't care what outsiders say, let's go live with the second child for a few days. Oh Boss! Why are you still watching from the outside? ”

Hearing this call, Zhu Biao, who didn't know when he arrived, appeared from the second palace gate with a probe in his head.

"My son is here!"

With his hands behind his back, he also subconsciously beckoned to the palace maids, signaling everyone to be mentally prepared.

Zhu Yuanzhang also rubbed his hands on Queen Ma's shoulders a few times, and said as if demonstrating: "Why don't you come and loosen your mother's muscles and bones, and this place will be cleaned up quickly." ”

Zhu Biao nodded again and again, and when he came to the second elder, he had already ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to remake a table of lunch. Then, he helped his mother up and slowly led her to the royal couch.

While rubbing his mother's shoulders and back, he whispered to her when she planned to leave, how many people she would bring, and what she should prepare.

Queen Ma immediately smiled and said, "Of course, the sooner the better!" As long as someone doesn't stop her, my mother will leave tomorrow morning. As for the entourage......"

"Just bring Mother Li and a few palace maids. You arrange the rest! That's right. Mother, those guys, you have to prepare it for me, I'm going to make a few delicious meals for the second child! ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but envy: "The second child has a good mouth now!" Mother's porridge is a must......"

"Want to drink? Hum. Not for your stupid goose's sake! Unless you're going to get me out there too? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and glared: "You! Sooner or later, I'm going to have to spoil you......"

"I want to too! Can you let it? Do civil and military officials let it? Queen Ma was not happy and sobbed.

"Look at you? This, this, how can this be wronged again. Zhu Yuanzhang was becoming more and more embarrassed at the moment.

Two days later, including Zhu Di and others, the Zhu family saw Queen Ma get into a two-horse-drawn carriage and leave the palace under the escort of a team of soldiers.

Queen Ma's convoy walked slowly for seven or eight days before arriving by land to the Fahai Temple in the northwest of Yangzhou City.

At this time, Zhu Yan and Yang Xian took a cadre of officials and soldiers outside the city to measure the road.

Yang Xian expected that half of the farmland would be replanted this year, and now it has reached eighty percent, and the preparation of burned bricks is also on track, so they naturally began to plan to pave the way.

But now, the conditions for the development of cement are not sufficient.

Moreover, Zhu Yan did not intend to let the entire Yangzhou be too advanced.

Therefore, the main roads in the city are still paved with bluestone slabs according to the ideas of Yang Xian and the craftsmen.

The road outside the city can only wait for the raw materials of cement to be found, and then make this thing, and then do both.

The raw material of cement is mainly limestone, that is, quicklime, which is not so large in Yangzhou.

Zhu Yan has been thinking about how to come up with a reason to let his father transfer this quicklime and iron ore from all over the country for him.

He never dreamed that as soon as he fell asleep, someone came to deliver a pillow.

Even, this time it was Queen Ma who took the initiative to send it to the door......
