Chapter 20 Ordinary days also have a sense of ritual

Zhu Di was originally walking slowly towards the door.

He was betting on whether Xu Zilin would agree.

Sure enough, when Xu Zilin saw him walking to the door, he still stopped himself from leaving.

Only then did Zhu Di turn around and return to Xu Zilin, take out a fold from his arms, and put it in front of Xu Zilin.

"Looks like you've been prepared for a long time."

Xu Zilin said as he took the fold and looked at it.

Zhu Di didn't speak, he just kept staring at Xu Zilin.

Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di after looking at it for a while.

"In fact, this has been done well, basically according to the situation of each county, and I have already calculated, the total number is not too far behind, it is feasible."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up at this time.

"If you say it's possible, then I'll believe it."

"Why do you trust me so much? Don't trust the government and the court, trust me as such a county order? ”

Xu Zilin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Di.

He wasn't interested in Zhu Di before, he just thought that Zhu Di was his leek.

But now Zhu Di's unconditional trust in himself has made Xu Zilin interested.

"There's nothing special about it, it's just that you're different from everyone I see on a daily basis."

Zhu Di explained, and by the way, he put away the booklet on the table.

"I'll go first, find a place to stay, and come back to you if there's anything else."

After that, Zhu Di got up and left directly.

This time, he didn't slow down, but arrived at the door in five big steps.

"Dare to walk so slowly just now, just waiting for me to call him."

Xu Zilin muttered, but he didn't blame Zhu Di for saying this.

After Zhu Di went out, he turned his head and glanced at Ji Gang refreshedly.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first, and we'll talk about other things later."

As he spoke, Zhu Di took the first step forward.

The two walked towards the hotel of the county government again.

The clerk saw someone enter the door, looked up and saw that it was a familiar face, so he smiled and greeted him.

"Two distinguished guests are here again, please come in quickly."

The two of them were welcomed into the room again, and compared to the last time they were here, the two of them were already a little familiar with the road this time.

"Okay, you can go down first, don't come over if we don't tell you."

The two walked to the door of the room, and Zhu Di turned his head and said to the clerk.

The clerk nodded obediently and left, and then Zhu Di turned his head to look at Ji Gang on the side.

"Come into the house and say."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he entered the room.

Ji Gang stood in front of Zhu Di and didn't say a word, just looked at Zhu Di silently.

"By the way, the carpet here will be covered in our palace in the future, and there is also the thing called the toilet, learn how to get it, and the palace will also install it."

Zhu Di first opened his mouth to say these things to Ji Gang, and after he finished speaking, he changed his face to a serious expression and stared at Ji Gang in front of him.

"Ji Gang, I want to know one thing, have you ever been dissatisfied with the various things I have done since I ascended the throne?"

Ji Gang looked up at Zhu Di in some surprise when he heard this, and after finding that the expression on Zhu Di's face was so solemn, he suddenly knelt in front of Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not dare, and the minister has never had any complaints about His Majesty's decision-making."

Zhu Di's face changed, and he quickly looked up at the door and window, but fortunately there was nothing unusual.

"You get up first, we are now in Penglai County, and our identity is categorically not known by others, your voice is so loud, do you hope that our identity will be exposed as soon as possible?"

"I... I'm not, I'm guilty. ”

Although Ji Gang stood up, he still lowered his head.

In fact, Ji Gang has indeed been dissatisfied in recent days.

Xu Zilin, a person who didn't know where to come from, all the words he said and the incidents he made were quite loved by Zhu Di, which really made Ji Gang a little unhappy.

"I talked to Xu Zilin a few words today, and there are some things he said that really benefited me a lot."

Zhu Di sighed, and then gave Ji Gang a rough idea of what Xu Zilin said to him.

"Actually, what he said is really good, no matter the monarch or minister, no matter the status, everyone is a human being, and there is a day of dissatisfaction, if this dissatisfaction accumulates more, I am afraid that I will be rebelled again."

"Isn't this Xu Zilin's nonsense! Under the governance of His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, how can there be something that others want to oppose! ”

Ji Gang hurriedly wanted to overturn Xu Zilin's words, but Zhu Di didn't answer again.

And just as it happened, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside the window.

It sounds festive, too.

Zhu Di stood up and looked out of the window.

I saw four people covered with ribbons dancing on the side of the road.

And the lion's head is very realistic, and at first glance, I really thought it was a lion entering the county.

"I know this, isn't this a lion dance?"

Ji Gang, who was beside Zhu Di, suddenly said excitedly.

Zhu Di also nodded slightly.

In Penglai County, which is full of strange objects, I finally saw what I knew.

"What day is it and why is there a lion dance?"

After the two stood by the window and watched for a while, Zhu Di asked Ji Gang.

But Ji Gang is hesitant, but he can't say why.

"Well, let's go out and ask."

Zhu Di shook his head helplessly, then turned his head and walked towards the door.

"Let me ask, what is the day of great joy today, and why is there a lion dance?"

Zhu Di stood at the door of the hotel and asked the clerk who was also watching the bustle.

The clerk turned his head and glanced at it, and only after seeing that it was Zhu Di did he answer.

"You are an outsider, don't you know, on our side, there will be a lion dance every two months, in fact, it is just to select the best lion dancers in the whole county, and let them perform a big show during the Chinese New Year."

Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully.

In this way, today is not a good day, just an ordinary day in Penglai County.

Ji Gang on the side naturally heard the clerk's words.

"It's just an ordinary day, and everyone knows about it."

Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang with some disapproval.

"They can come as they want, and it's not rebellion, it's not murder or arson, what's wrong with having fun on weekdays."

Zhu Di's views undoubtedly attracted the support of the locals around him.

"What this distinguished guest said is right, at the beginning, when our county commander wanted to engage in this thing, everyone didn't dare to do it, for fear of being criticized, but later I found out that although outsiders didn't understand, they never slandered us, and it has been like this since then."

Only then did Zhu Di smile and look at the person who spoke.

After the two chatted for a few words, Zhu Di knew more about Xu Zilin.
