"Big brother!"

Zhu Yunxi subconsciously snorted.

In fact, when he came over along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang had already told Zhu Yunxi to the bottom and said that he would take him to see his brother, otherwise he might be in trouble for a while.

and instructed Zhu Yunxi not to reveal his identity for a while.

At first, he thought it was Zhu Yunwen, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

The old man simply told him that he was going to see his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying.

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his brain exploded directly.

His eldest brother Zhu Xiongying?

Didn't he pass away ten years ago? What to see now?

Worship?

But it's not the right direction!

Could it be ......

His eldest brother isn't dead yet?!

Zhu Yunxi was in a lot of trouble, and his head was groggy all the way.

Until I really met Huang Xiongying.

He was stunned for a moment.

It's really his eldest brother who has been dead for ten years, Zhu Xiongying!

Zhu Xiongying is only four years older than Zhu Yunxi, so in his mind, he vaguely remembers the appearance of his eldest brother, although it is a little distant, but it is so amiable and so attached.

"Big brother!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted again, but his voice was choked.

And Huang Xiongying looked at the young man who called him eldest brother with some surprise, and then looked at the old man suspiciously:

"Who is this?"

The old man smiled and replied, "This is your brother-in-law, our own grandson!" ”

"Oh-"

Huang Xiongying was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa, how do I feel that your own grandson looks a little like me!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Hey! Can you not be like a brother? ”

"But ......"

Huang Xiongying was a little puzzled: "But I'm not my father's biological son?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang reacted at this time, his eyes rolled slightly, and said, "This is called fate!" ”

Huang Xiongying didn't think much about it anymore, and said with a smile: "Since it's grandpa's grandson, it's a family, Xiaobao, come and call Uncle Xi!" ”

"Hello Uncle Xi!"

Xiaobao shouted obediently.

Looking at the cute Xiaobao, Zhu Yunxi finally showed a clean smile: "Hello Xiaobao!" ”

Huang Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yunxi and said, "Let's go, don't stand, let's go into the house and sit." ”

With that, Huang Xiongying led a few people into the back room.

"Didn't you have breakfast, old man?"

Listening to Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Our eldest grandson still understands us, we, we have never been picky before, but since I ate our eldest grandson's things, I feel that the things at home have no taste!" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled: "Then blame me?" ”

"That's not it, we can't do without our eldest grandson in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Although this is a joke, but it is not all a joke, Zhu Yuanzhang can obviously feel that since the prince left, he has more smiles when he comes to the eldest grandson than he has in other times combined, and once he has free time, the first thing that comes to mind is his eldest grandson.

Here, he can unload the burden of the emperor, enjoy the happiness of ordinary people, can talk to his eldest grandson about everything, and his eldest grandson can surprise him every time.

This is also the reason why he does not want his eldest grandson to return to his original position for the time being.

Because once his eldest grandson returns, not only him, but even his eldest grandson will no longer speak as unscrupulously as now, and at that time, their identities will carry a lot of things on their shoulders.

It is difficult to be a good emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has a deep understanding, and it is equally difficult to be a good prince, Zhu Biao is the best proof.

So Zhu Yuanzhang thought that while his body was still okay, he would let his eldest grandson enjoy the time of ordinary people.

At this time, how did Huang Xiongying know that Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about this, and asked with a smile: "Then how about we make a cake and eat it?" ”

"Okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard the pancakes.

Generally, only when the old man comes, Huang Xiongying will cook in person, and he knows that the old man really likes to eat what he makes.

Huang Xiongying took Xiaobao to the kitchen.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi were left in the house.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang twice, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Grandpa Huang, isn't he a big brother...... How did it end up here? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then do you think he is your eldest brother?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I feel so!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You feel right, it is God who blesses our old Zhu family, your eldest brother did not die back then, but was saved by a palace guard named Huang Tieniu, we have investigated it in detail, it can't be fake." ”

received Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmative answer, and Zhu Yunxi was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He can still remember that when he was a child, his eldest brother held his hand and looked doting.

It's a pity that his eldest brother left later, and not long after their mother also left, and not long ago, their father also left.

The departure of loved ones one by one made Zhu Yunxi's heart closed little by little.

Although it is said that over the years, the step-concubine Lu has not embarrassed him, and often shush the cold and ask for warmth, but he can feel that it is not sincere, but for his imperial grandfather.

So now that his dearest eldest brother is back, how can he not be happy?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile and said: "Xi'er, although your eldest brother has been living in the people for ten years, his ability has not fallen at all, let's bring you here this time, in addition to letting your brothers recognize each other, I also want you to learn skills from your eldest brother, understand?" ”

"Grandson understands!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded in response......

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Huang Xiongying's baked cakes were also baked, and a pot of duck blood soup was served.

At this time, the people of Beijing all love to eat plate duck, Emperor Hongwu likes, it is said that the famous Peking duck in later generations is the Yan King Zhu Di usurped the throne and moved the capital to Beijing, by the way, he took away a lot of Nanjing roast duck masters, which made the Peking duck.

Therefore, this duck blood soup is also a famous delicacy in Jingshi.

"Well, it smells so good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned his head over, smelling the heat wafting from the duck blood soup, and the corners of his mouth were already grinning.

"Grandpa, you taste!"

Huang Xiongying served Zhu Yuanzhang a bowl of steaming duck blood soup.

"Good, good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took it with a smile, and he didn't care about the heat, he just stretched out his mouth and puffed up a little bit.

"Fresh! Delicious! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few small bites, then put down the duck blood soup, and said with a smile, at the same time, one hand had already touched the baked cake, and it was directly a big mouthful, and a smile of enjoyment and satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.

"Incense...... Fragrant! ”

Before the baked cake was swallowed, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but exclaim.

Huang Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eating baked cakes, and said with a smile: "Old man, eat slowly, you said that you haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and a few baked cakes will make you hungry as if you haven't eaten for a few days!" ”

"What a mountain and sea delicacies, we don't love that thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said while eating the baked cakes: "We just love this baked cakes, they are delicious and full, haha-"

"Brother Tong, don't just watch, eat!"

Saying that, Huang Xiongying was about to serve Zhu Yunxi a bowl of duck blood soup.

Zhu Yunxi snatched the soup spoon and said, "Brother, you sit down, let me come!" ”

first gave Huang Xiongying a bowl, and Zhu Yunxi gave Xiaobao another bowl, and then it was his turn.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and said to Zhu Yunxi: "Hurry up and taste your brother's craftsmanship, this is the best baked cake and duck blood soup we have eaten since your grandmother left!" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded obediently, but Xiaobao pouted and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandpa, you must come often in the future, otherwise Xiaobao won't be able to eat what his father makes!" ”

"Haha-"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this: "Okay, grandpa will come often in the future!" ”

……

A simple breakfast, the grandparents and grandchildren were extremely happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his somewhat bulging belly, and said with a smile: "Eldest grandson, if this belly can't fit in, we still want to have a few baked cakes!" ”

"What's the hurry, it's going to be a long time in the future!"

Listening to Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then remembered something, and said: "By the way, eldest grandson, your mirror, this time it really sold for a lot of money to fill the gap in the disaster relief food." ”

"There is a message from the disaster area, saying that the victims have porridge to drink now, and no one is starving to death, this is the greatest merit, the old man Hongwu is so happy, this is a reward for you!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to Huang Xiongying.

Huang Xiongying took a look at it, and saw that it was written in beautiful letters: 200 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 1 box of jade and pearls, 1,000 pieces of silk, 100 ivory objects, 20 sets of Jingdezhen porcelain, 60 sets of gold, silver and bronze ware, two boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, and one box of tribute ginseng.

"This ......"

Huang Xiongying's eyes widened as he looked at it.

In his impression, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very frugal emperor, but he didn't expect to reward himself with so many things at once.

But think about it, he has indeed made a great contribution this time, and the amount of relief food raised is far more than that, and he deserves these rewards.

"Grandpa, you thanked the old emperor Hongwu for me, but I can't ask for these things!" Huang Xiongying is colorful.

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Huang Xiongying.

Huang Xiongying replied: "First, my grandson is not short of these things, and second, my grandson really just wants to help our Daming tide over the difficulties, and can borrow the hand of his grandfather to help with disaster relief, and his grandson is too late to be happy, and he doesn't want a reward!" ”

"No way!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also made a straight face and said: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded!" Besides, this time it's a great achievement, if you don't want it, Old Man Hongwu will be unhappy! ”

Huang Xiongying: "......"

Seeing that Huang Xiongying didn't speak, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Don't make it difficult for grandpa, okay?" ”

Huang Xiongying nodded.

He knew that the old man was telling the truth, and if he didn't want the reward from the emperor, maybe he would provoke the emperor to think that his purpose was not pure, and he had other plans.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Do you remember what we said?" What should be yours is yours, and you can't be robbed of it, you know? ”

"Grandson remembered!" Huang Xiongying nodded.

"Hurry up Ming'er, let's have people send these things over!"

Huang Xiongying nodded again.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Oh yes, Tie Xuan and Xia Yuanji were recommended by you to Li Jinglong, right?" ”
