Although Zhu Jingjing said it very plainly, it sounded like a thunderbolt to Princess Ningguo, and she was immediately startled.

At this time, Princess Ningguo was only twelve years old, and Xiao Zhu Jingjing was four years old, and when she was living a carefree life, she naturally felt that death was a very terrible thing.

Therefore, she couldn't close her mouth in shock, looking at Zhu Jingjing still just painting calmly, and finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Why?" Just an ordinary person, is it worth dying for him? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jingjing turned his head to look at his sister and said with a serious face: "To you, he may just be an ordinary person. However, he was my lifesaver to me. If it weren't for him, I would have been dead. What, then, is it strange that I died for him? ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, she showed a happy smile and said: "You don't know, with Brother Fan, there are really surprises at any time, you don't know that his imagination can be so unique!" You can say anything, and you've never heard of it before. He has a unique smell that I like very much. I feel that staying with him is the happiest. If you can't be with him in the future, what's the point of living? ”

Princess Ning Guo was very surprised when she heard it, but she couldn't figure out how strange and attractive her sister's brother Fan was?

Zhu Jingjing saw that she was thinking, and she didn't want to say more, so she turned around and continued to paint.

After a while, Princess Ning Guo came back to her senses and suggested to Zhu Jingjing: "Eldest sister, if you want to play with him all the time, even if your father doesn't marry you to him, you can let him be a eunuch, can't you be by your side?" ”

"Poof", Zhu Jingjing's brush suddenly poked a big stain on the paper, the paper was almost punctured, turned his head, and said a little angrily: "What do you know, do you know what a eunuch is?" ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Princess Ning Guo seemed to want to explain, she stood up, pulled Princess Ning Guo to sit beside her, and said in a commanding tone: "You girl, don't talk nonsense, just paint with me, let me see if your painting has grown!" ”

After Princess Ning Guo sat down, she raised her head a little worriedly and asked, "Eldest sister, don't you die, okay?" If you die, I'll cry. ”

Generally speaking, the small always likes to play with the big one. Princess Ningguo is the second among the sisters, so she usually likes to play with Zhu Jingjing the most. Of course, whether the big one is willing to play with the small one or not is another matter.

When Zhu Jingjing heard this, she couldn't help but touch her sister's head and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely be able to be a colt, and my sister will not die, you are welcome to come to my side as a guest, your brother-in-law tells a very good story, it is really very good, a hundred times better than the ones you have heard!" ”

"Really?" When Princess Ning Guo heard this, she was suddenly a little surprised. But soon, she suddenly became sad again, and said to Zhu Jingjing, "However, the queen mother said that everything depends on the emperor, it seems that ...... It seems that I still like that Korean prince! ”

Zhu Jingjing listened, was stunned, and suddenly said lightly, "Paint", and then didn't care about Princess Ningguo, sat down by herself, changed a piece of paper, and started to paint Zhang Yifan's portrait again.

Princess Ning Guo didn't draw, just looked at the side of the eldest sister. Although she was still young, she could see that her sister looked very plain on the surface, but she was really worried. In other words, she cares a lot about who is the colt. If it weren't for that Fan Ge as a colt, maybe the eldest sister would really die!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown, thinking that without her eldest sister, a lot of fun would be gone.

When I think about it, I can't help but feel sad and want to cry.

Suddenly, she remembered something, hurriedly walked to the door, and whispered a few words to the palace maid over there.

After a while, she hurriedly took a plate of pastries from the palace maid's hand, hurriedly sent them to Zhu Jingjing's hand and said, "Eldest sister, you also love to eat this pastry, you see, if you die, you won't be able to eat such a delicious pastry!" ”

"I don't like it anymore!" Zhu Jingjing listened, turned her head to look at her, and said lightly, "I just want to eat Brother Fan!" ”

When Princess Ning Guo heard this, she was immediately startled. The eldest sister, who has always loved food, has changed her taste, which is too scary, why don't you tell the queen mother quickly?

She was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, and a palace maid immediately appeared at the door, and saw her face with joy, and hurriedly blessed her, and at the same time reported: "Just now, Your Majesty personally decided that Zhang Yifan of Liujia Village is a big horse!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Princess Ning Guo couldn't help but be overjoyed, now the eldest sister finally didn't have to die, she hurriedly turned her head, looked at Zhu Jingjing, and said happily: "Eldest sister, hear ......"

Speaking of this, she paused, and then asked a little worriedly, "Sister, why are you crying?" ”

I saw Zhu Jingjing turn around and look at the palace maid who reported the news, and her tears were like pearls with broken threads, constantly falling.

Hearing Princess Ningguo's words, Zhu Jingjing hurriedly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and then pounced on the plate of pastries, covering up while eating: "I'm hungry...... Well...... Delicious...... It's delicious......"

Her words were full of happiness, and anyone could hear it, and she was really happy.

"I'll just say, this pastry is your favorite!" Princess Ning Guo obviously didn't understand it yet, and said happily and generously, "This plate is all for you!" ”

She didn't know that Zhu Jingjing shouted frantically in her heart: "I know that Brother Fan is the best, and Brother Fan is the number one talent in the world......"

……………………

On the side of the Imperial Garden, the competition has ended, and Li Qi, the prince of South Korea, must look down on the identity of the prisoner of the country, and has already followed his father; Mei Yin was the same, and followed his teacher; The seven soy sauce makers were very happy, and becoming the prisoners of the country meant that they had the qualifications to be officials. As long as there is a need for officials, they will generally fill the vacancies with Guozi prison students.

Zhang Yifan is here, and he still stayed here and didn't leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhang Yifan's situation, and gave Zhang Yifan a big mansion of the Beijing master on the spot as the future horse mansion, as well as 100 acres of fertile land outside the city, and two servants and five tenants.

This reward is not ungenerous.

Originally, in history, Li Qi became a colt, but there were no such rewards. Of course, the Li family didn't care about these rewards.

Seeing Zhang Yifan kneeling there to thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You will be your own family in the future, you have to remember that you are better to Jing Jing, and if you have any special ideas in state affairs, you can also put them forward at any time." ”

Obviously, some of Zhang Yifan's remarks were very appetizing to him, and even tickled him.

For example, "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace", other courtiers can't say this.

and Zhang Yifan's consideration of the issue of the Japanese Invaders, he actually considered it from the perspective of future generations, which is also an angle that Zhu Yuanzhang and others have not thought about.

Zhang Yifan listened, but before he could speak, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say to him again: "In the future, on formal occasions, you still have to abide by the rules of the courtiers, but on other occasions, it is a family." You don't have a father......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Queen Ma before turning his head, looking at Zhang Yifan and continuing: "...... You just call it Jingjing! ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was immediately happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang is really a calf protector, once he is considered a family, it is really good.

So, he hurriedly began to recognize his relatives, father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, ......, called one by one.

Zhu Yuanzhang should be the reason for his own life experience, attaches great importance to family affection, and after the founding of the country, he generously included the family of the horse in the scope of the seven major families.

These seven families are: the queen's family, the imperial concubine's family, the Donggong concubine's family, the princess's family, the county princess's family, the concubine's family, and the Yibin family.

In addition to the major crime of rebellion, the judicial yamen at all levels are not allowed to take the question or punish the crime of the horse family without authorization, and can only report it to the imperial court.

As far as the Hongwu Dynasty is concerned, there are also two unlucky horses; But obviously, Zhang Yifan would not make the mistake of those two unlucky horses.

As a result, in this Hongwu Dynasty, even in his lifetime, Zhang Yifan can be regarded as living a relatively comfortable life. There will never be a county order to make him kneel anymore.

………………

In the distance outside the noon gate, there were still a lot of people waiting for the results of the candidates.

Most of them are the ones who bet, and then the relatives and friends of each family.

On Zhang Yifan's side, in addition to Zhu Wu's guards, Zheng Jingxue and Liu Wu and others from Liujia Village were also there.

Among them, Liu Wu and Tian Dazhuang and others came early in the morning.

There is no doubt that when these people are waiting, they are naturally discussing the topic of the competition, without exception, they are basically optimistic about Mei Yin or Li Qi. Listening to these two groups of people say their own reasons there, it is very lively. Zheng Jingxue, on the other hand, is very quiet.

When the eunuch came out to get the pen, it attracted the attention of the crowd, and then, naturally, there was a burst of ridicule.

Zhang Yifan's words are not a secret in the eyes of those who have a heart, otherwise, the odds of the casino would not be so open.

Whether it was Zheng Jingxue, Zhu Wu and others, they had never seen Zhang Yifan write with a quill, so they couldn't get up and continued to remain silent, among which Zheng Jingxue still had a sad face.

Zhang Yifan's ten Ming treasure banknotes have already been betted. However, it is basically a wasted deal, although Zhang Yifan said that he didn't need to pay for it, but his conscience has been condemning him, how can he not pay back the money? is even blaming himself, why is he so obsessed with his mind that he really listened to Zhang Yifan's words?

Perhaps, the family needs money too much, right?

There has been a letter from the family saying that my mother is sick and needs money. However, his father Zheng Shiyuan is still in prison!

Zheng Jingxue was frowning sadly, and suddenly a sharp-eyed person saw Mei Yin and others leaving the palace, which immediately detonated the emotions of these people.
