Chapter 208: A Special Gift
"I want to give a special gift, but I don't know what to give!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Xiongying was even more worried, he always wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang a gift that could not only reflect his filial piety, but also not so expensive.
Especially the latter.
Don't look at those rare treasures, they are expensive, but they are not in the eyes of his imperial grandfather.
And in the eyes of his imperial grandfather, those rare treasures are useless except for being beautiful and valuable, and they are not as good as the crops grown in the fields of the common people.
Lan Bin raised his eyebrows, and silently recited the five words of the special gift twice, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him: "Big nephew, leave the gift to me!" Guaranteed to your satisfaction."
"Cousin, you thought of it so quickly? What gift?" Zhu Xiongying was stunned and curious.
He had been worried about the congratulatory gift for several days, and he didn't have a clue in his heart.
And now I told my cousin, and my cousin immediately thought of it.
It's hard for him not to be curious.
"You'll know then!"
Lan Bin pretended to say mysteriously, and said, "Okay, I'm going back to prepare a gift for you, if you want nothing to do, I'll leave first!"
There are only a few days left before Zhu Yuanzhang's Hallowe, and he doesn't know if the gift he thought of can be made in such a short time.
Time was pressing, and he had to seize all the time and not waste it.
"Cousin, what kind of gift is it, tell me first!" The more mysterious Lan Bin said, the more curious Zhu Xiongying became, and he couldn't help but say.
Lan Bin shook his head: "Don't ask, you will know when you ask!"
"Alright! Then cousin, go and get ready!" Zhu Xiongying looked at Lan Bin, suppressed his curiosity, and said a little disappointed.
"Gone!"
Lan Bin touched Zhu Xiongying's head, said hello to the other princes and grandchildren, said hello, said a few words of greeting, and turned around and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as he left the main hall, Lan Bin met Mr. Wu Bozong, who had turned to the main hall, and was slightly stunned, and stepped forward to salute with a little embarrassment: "Hello, sir!"
Wu Bozong was also stunned when he saw Lan Bin at first glance, calculating the time, Lan Bin hadn't come to school for a while.
Although Donggong had greeted Lan Bin, he was very dissatisfied with Lan Bin not coming to study and going to do some chores.
In his opinion, for children of Lan Bin's age, reading and literacy is the right thing.
Everything else is not doing business.
Thinking about it, he said lightly, "Lan Bin, since you're here, if you don't go to the main hall to sit and study, where do you want to go?"
"What, sir, I'm not done yet, and I will be able to go back to the main hall in a few days!" Lan Bin said with a sneer.
Wu Bozong frowned slightly: "So, didn't you come to the Great Hall today to study?"
Lan Bin lowered his head and didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious.
Wu Bozong was a little displeased and said, "Lan Bin, you need to be careful in reading, what can you read if you fish for three days and dry your nets for two days?"
"What the gentleman said is very true, I will finish the business at hand as soon as possible, and then go back to the main hall to study!" Lan Bin followed.
Wu Bozong looked at Lan Bin, squirmed his lower lips, wanted to say something, but didn't say the last word, and sighed: "Forget it, you go get busy!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lan Bin knew that Wu Bozong was for his own good, and unlike other literati, he was not so hostile to Xungui. But he can't help it, he has a lot of things on his hands, and it is impossible to devote all his time to studying.
just lived up to Wu Bozong's kindness.
Wu Bozong didn't say much, waved his hand, and went straight into the main hall.
After Lan Bin saw Wu Bozong enter the main hall, he turned around and hurriedly left the palace, came to the palace gate, and took the carriage and went straight back to the Lan Mansion.
Back at Lanfu, Lan Bin immediately asked people to find charcoal, cut it into a slender charcoal pen, and then took the charcoal pen to the study, and sketched a simple earth.
And according to the appearance of the globe of later generations, it is marked on it in turn.
Of course, this label is only a general label, such as the sea, land, and some countries with names and surnames.
That's right, the special gift that Lan Bin thought of was the globe.
