Time passed day by day, Lao Zhang was in full swing to repair the Zhuangzi, and Li Bao and Ding Fengying were not idle.

Li Bao has already started to make wine, and the fruits needed for the fruit wine are collected from the surrounding villages, and the grain needed for the grain wine is bought in the grain store.

Li Bao tried to go to the village to collect grain, but everyone was reluctant to sell it. I have to sigh that it is really relying on the villages in the capital, and every household has not reached the point of exchanging grain for money.

Sister-in-law Ding also started to make soap, and the soap mold was made by Master Zhang every day.

Zhuangzi is in full swing, and in the house on Huaiyuan Street, Jixiang is following He Wen to learn the rules little by little. I have been a beggar for so long before, and I have left some bad habits on my body.

Chunxiang also has the rules of wishful thinking and learning to be a maid. So for the time being, I haven't sent work to these people, at first these people were still a little scared, they just ate and didn't work every day, and there was meat for three meals a day, this was simply a fairy day, and it always felt unreal.

"In addition to learning the rules, you also have to learn some skills. My wife is surrounded by people who will not be useless. Haruka said the words of the teachings with a glance.

"Yes, Sister Haruka, but how do we learn our skills? What skills do you need to learn? Ruyi asked.

Chunxiang should be younger than Yirushuang, but who let Chunxiang enter the mansion? It's the red man in front of the lady again. Chunxiang's performance in the past few days has amused Zhao Yunlan.

"We are maids, mainly to help Mrs. tidy up housekeeping, needlework must be able to, can do embroidery is the best, followed by cooking, we have to go out from time to time, cooking is to learn some, the most important thing is to recognize words, our wife loves to read and write, from time to time to help Mrs. grind ink and get books."

"Huh? I can learn this needlework, I used to sew and mend clothes at home, and I can cook, but this literacy is more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”

Chunxiang was a little proud in her heart, "It's a little difficult for you to read and write, but the requirements for you won't be too high, now learn the rules first, let's do the same." ”

Ruyi: "Yes, Sister Chunxiang." ”

The three girls were very happy to teach, and He Wen over there had a big head, and he was stumped for the first time to be a gentleman. The most important thing is that this auspiciousness is simply jumping out of the way, and I can finally feel the helplessness of the people taught by the lady.

Unconsciously, another month has passed, and Zhuangzi's side has almost been completed, I have to say that Master Zhang is very efficient, and of course there is also Li Hua's help. In order to train a decent escort team, Li Hua took seven men to Zhuangzi to help, and the heavy work and tiring work were all covered by these people, which made Lao Zhang embarrassed.

The finishing work on Zhuangzi's side was left to Li Hua and a few people, and Master Zhang took his apprentice to the shop.

The shop is quite large, and there are six stores in a row on the first floor, and Zhao Yunlan plans to separate the two doors on the side, one is used to sell her own soap, and the other is used to sell down products. The part of the restaurant is basically arranged according to the restaurant in Fucheng.

Lao Zhang is now handy, and he has cooperated with Zhao Yunlan so many times, so he can fully understand the other party's thoughts.

The matter of the restaurant was handed over to Li Mingyi to star, and Zhao Yunlan did the down business. Li Dashan: The down they brought to the capital from home has been shelved for a long time, and they didn't have time to deal with it because of the mess in the Zhuangzi before, so they just let it dry and ventilate to dry. Now that Zhuangzi has been able to live a normal life, what should be operated must also be operated.

"Haruka, you teach them. Take advantage of the good sun now, fumigate a few times and then sunbathe. ”

Haruka: "Yes, ma'am. ”

Zhao Yunlan pondered, turned her head to look at Li Dashan and said, "Well, it's just that these eiderdowns are still missing." ”

Li Dashan: "Then I'll go for a run and see if I can put some around around." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Yes." ”

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and before I knew it, it seemed that it was not so hot.

One rainy evening, Li Mingren came back from outside in a hurry, and pulled Zhao Yunlan to the inner room.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Li Mingren's worried look, Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingren didn't know whether it was rain or sweat on his face, and sighed.

"The emperor is critically ill!"

"What?" Zhao Yunlan was shocked.

"The emperor is actually sick for a long time, let's try it before! Maybe longer. It's just that I've been holding on, I can't hold it for the past few days, and I fainted yesterday. ”

Zhao Yunlan whispered: "Zhou Hanwen told you? ”

Li Mingren nodded.

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, no wonder she hasn't been elected for so long, except for those who have a backstage, there are a large number of Jinshi stranded in this capital. When the lord of a country falls, won't anyone run slowly?

"Hey, why don't you let the prince supervise the country?" Zhao Yunlan asked suspiciously, isn't it generally the emperor who is critically ill and let the crown prince supervise the country?

Li Mingren: "The prince is also helping to supervise some things, and I don't know the specific situation. The emperor's heart is unpredictable! ”

"So what do we do now?"

Li Mingren: "Brother Zhou said let me wait." I also thought about waiting and seeing, but there may be a delay on your side, lady. Lao Zhang: How long do they have to finish? ”

Zhao Yunlan: "There are still ten days!" Are you afraid that if something happens, you won't be able to start construction? ”

Li Mingren nodded.

"Well, then I'll see if I can let Lao Zhang and them rush to work, I really can't wait! Take off all the red silk at home! ”

Li Mingren took Zhao Yunlan's hand and rubbed it, not knowing what to think again.

"Let's go wash and change your clothes!"

Three days later, in the Tai Chi Hall in the palace, the emperor leaned on the head of the bed, and the attendant next to him was feeding the emperor soup.

It had been awakened for half an hour, and the emperor felt hungry, but according to the imperial doctor's orders, he could not eat directly at this time, and had to come step by step.

The crown prince Zhu Hongming stood in front of the bed and took the bowl in the hand of the waiter.

"Father, listen to the words of the imperial doctor and recuperate for some time!"

Zhu Wensheng didn't speak, just drank the soup fed by his son, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a bowl of soup was served, the old emperor spoke: "Hongming, your father and I are really old!" ”

Zhu Hongming hurriedly knelt down, and there was still a little soup base left in the bowl and poured it on his shirt and didn't care.

"Father, you're not old, you just need to rest more."

Zhu Wensheng showed a loving gaze and looked at his kneeling son, "Get up, I didn't say anything!" We father and son chatted a few words. ”

"Yes, Father." Zhu Hongming stood up and handed the bowl in his hand to the waiter.

"It's another time to escape death, your father and I are really dead! , haha~ cough cough. ”

"Call the Imperial Doctor." Zhu Hongming was a little anxious when he saw his father coughing non-stop, and stepped forward to help Zhu Wensheng with his back.

The emperor just pressed Zhu Hongji's hand and slowed down, "Don't call the imperial doctor, I'm fine!" ”

The chamberlain had already hurried to find the Imperial Doctor, but in fact, the Imperial Physician had been waiting in the outhouse.

Zhu Hongming was a little anxious: "Dad, don't be reckless." ”

Zhu Wensheng smiled: "It's been a long time since I've heard you call Dad." ”

Zhu Hongming didn't speak, brought his father a glass of water, Wen Sheng took a sip of water and continued: "Hey, I'm all old trouble, I had to expose it in order to prevent our family from being bullied, and fighting everywhere always inevitably leaves some injuries. Fortunately, it's still done, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to be the founding emperor! ”

The Imperial Physician was already standing in front of the temple, but he did not come forward.

Zhu Hongming said: "Father, you have done a good job, the people are living a good life, and everyone is no longer displaced, selling children and daughters." ”

Zhu Wensheng: "This is just one side of what we see, and there are many things that we can't see. Or maybe they only show us one side. ”

After that, he still asked the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse, and after making sure that there was no problem, he withdrew everyone, leaving only the prince by his side.

"Son, you are my father's first child, and you also know the previous situation of our family, and you also know the life of the next one. Your father and I are unwilling, so I have always refused to let go of the throne. ”

Zhu Hongming didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.

"My father trusts you very much, and always has been, so from the day I ascended the throne, I have regarded you as my successor. You haven't disappointed your father, you have been diligent and loyal to your duties for so many years, but your father is obsessed with the emperor, and he always wants to do his best in this position, but God waits for no one, and now it's time for you to do something for the people. ”

Zhu Hongming knelt on the ground again, and was pulled up by Zhu Wensheng just as he wanted to speak, "I don't want to listen to you, I want to see your queen mother, go and pick up your queen mother!" ”

Zhu Hongming saluted: "Father, yes, I'll go and pick up my mother." ”

After the prince left, the imperial doctors came to the palace again and watched over them at any time.
