Chu Zhen opened the lids on the two bamboo baskets brought by Lin Daiyu, and saw that there were gold, silver, and all kinds of porcelain inside, a small bamboo basket containing red rice, eight eggs on the rice, and three or four catties of various grains.

Then he opened another sacrificial burden, and there were pieces of meat in it, raw deer legs, freshly slaughtered fish, and bacon of the highest color.

Lin Daiyu walked back, and saw that Chu Zhen and Li Qingzhao were looking at the gifts prepared by her family, so she smiled a little shyly:

"These are all eaten at home for the New Year, which makes Uncle Chu and my sister smile."

"Where's the smile?"

Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen so many expensive New Year's goods, and Sister Lin's family is really a rich family." ”

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, the tears in her eyes had already been wiped away, and she walked to Chu Zhen's side, intending to explain to him the origin of these things.

"This is Ota rouge rice?"

Chu Zhen pointed to the crimson rice, which was two or three times larger than what he used to eat, and he could smell a fragrance coming to his face.

"It's rouge rice." Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "My grandmother sent someone from the capital to send it, but my mother was reluctant to eat it, so she kept it for Uncle Chu." ”

After reading Li Qingzhao in the first few chapters of Dream of Red Mansions, I now understand that Lin Daiyu's grandmother is the old lady of Rongguo Mansion.

However, she didn't see the part of the rouge rice.

"I can't bear to eat it!"

Chu Zhen smiled: "Why don't you take it back?" ”

"How can there be a reason to get back the gift that is given?" Lin Daiyu said.

"What courtesy?"

As a man's voice sounded, a dignified man wearing a bright yellow narrow-sleeved round-neck robe and a black black gauze folded scarf appeared.

Lin Daiyu only glanced at him, then lowered her head and whispered to Chu Zhen, walked to the left, opened the bead curtain hanging with her little hand, and walked in.

She didn't even salute.

Because the great defense of men and women is more important than etiquette.

However, Li Qingzhao and Zhu Yuanzhang greeted each other.

Chu Zhen stood up and introduced Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Daiyu to each other: "This is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, Miss Lin, you know...... This one is the granddaughter of Rongguofu of the Dashun Dynasty, surnamed Lin. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she didn't make any corrections, she saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, and introduced herself: "My father's surname is Lin, and he was a flower explorer in the early years of Yong'an in the Dashun Dynasty, and now he is the imperial history of the right capital. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Daiyu looked behind the bead curtain, as if to say, this should be the introduction!

Chu Zhen apologized to her with a smile.

Rongguo Mansion was so famous that he didn't remember that Lin Daiyu was Lin Ruhai's daughter for a while.

"The daughter of Tanhua?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at her a few times through the curtain, "I haven't heard of the official of the Imperial History of the Right Prince, I think it was after the Ming Dynasty that I came to the Shun Dynasty, and the last time I said that my queen died of illness, it was the little girl, right?" ”

"I said that." Lin Daiyu replied.

Chu Zhen was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask about the Dashun Dynasty, so he quickly changed the topic: "You also brought a gift?" ”

Lin Daiyu glanced at him.

"I have faith in my word!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put the two gift boxes in his hand on his table, his face showed smugness, and motioned for him to open it and take a look.

Chu Zhen lifted the yellow satin covering it, and Li Qingzhao on the side suddenly widened his eyes, dazzled by the bright and dazzling gold.

There are ten large gold ingots in the center of the gift box on the right, and there are also various gold foils, golden hairpins, gold locks, and gold collars, which are mostly health mascots.

Chu Zhen opened the gift box on the left again, there were all kinds of jade in it, and there were other things in the study such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., which could be put together with the jade, and the estimated value was not low.

"So much?!"

Chu Zhen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with astonishment, and the Hongwu Emperor smiled happily: "My queen prepared it for Mr. Chu, just accept it!" ”

Chu Zhen picked up a gold ingot, estimated to be more than a catty, and opened the back to see that it was engraved with words:

In the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the household was built, and the full color of gold was twenty and heavy.

Ten ingots totaled 400 taels, more than 10 catties, about 6,000 grams in the less, and the price of each gram of gold in his impression seemed to be about 33.

In other words, just these ten gold ingots, the price of pure gold is worth 2 million!

The value of cultural relics is estimated to be no, after all, it is a gold ingot that travels through time and space.

plus foil gold ornaments, and another box of jade - Chu Zhen doesn't understand jade, but it is conservatively estimated that the gift given by Zhu Yuanzhang is worth at least three million.

With so much money, what else is there to broadcast live!

"I." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with blazing eyes, and after a while, he said again: "As long as Mr. Chu tries his best to rescue, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, these belongings will be paid for Mr. Chu's diagnosis!" ”

Chu Zhen was silent for a while.

All three looked at him.

Just at this time, Li Shimin came.

Chu Zhen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I will do my best, but if I want to rewrite the lives of the queen, the crown prince, and the imperial grandson of a country, I don't know if I can do it." Prevention is the right thing to do! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I understand this truth, and now I don't let my sister be too tired...... Don't talk about this, King Qin, have you finished beating Xue Ju? ”

There is a smile on his face, but his heart is extremely heavy.

It was finally confirmed that in the history books of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, not only his sister-in-law, but even the crown prince Biao'er and the eldest grandson Xiongying left him early, and finally the throne fell to the fourth child.

Why did God do this to him?

The thief let him take the world of the Yuan Dynasty and sit on the throne, why should he be so cruel to his family?!

Chu Zhen couldn't see what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, he looked at Li Shimin, couldn't help laughing, and asked:

"Have you finished beating the Overlord of Western Qin?"

Li Shimin, who was standing in front of a few people, was wearing a purple round-necked robe, wearing a black hat, and carrying two wooden boxes in his hands.

"Don't mention it."

Li Shimin's face was depressed, he handed the gift box to Chu Zhen, saluted and thanked him, and said: "I just heard a voice, I knew that I was coming to Mr. Chu, so I rushed back to the palace from the restaurant and asked the princess to prepare gifts quickly, and now it is really Mr. Chu!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at it, and he didn't know about it.

Chu Zhen told them.

Li Shimin nodded: "It's good that Mr. did it, it made me a little uneasy, and I thought it was because the war ahead was tight." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin didn't lead the army to fight against Xue Ju?"

Li Qingzhao asked in surprise.

Li Shimin's expression was a little more depressed, and when he was asked like this by a woman, he really wanted to ride a horse and run to Longxi and kill him!

"What about Xue Ju?" Chu Zhen asked.

"Xue Ju is in Longxi!"

"Where are the two sides fighting?" Zhu Yuanzhang also asked.

"In the high jaw."

"Where's you?" Chu Zhen asked again.

"I'm drinking in Chang'an."

“……”

"Hahaha!"

Chu Zhen and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, Li Qingzhao also smiled with crooked eyebrows, and Lin Daiyu, who was behind the bead curtain, also covered her face with a fan and smiled.

Chu Zhen smiled and gestured, asked Li Shimin to sit down first, and said, "It seems that the situation has changed, you didn't lead your troops to fight against Xue Ju...... Who led the troops? ”

"My brother leads the troops."

Li Shimin sat on the sofa, raised his hand and picked a lychee from the table and threw it in his mouth, his expression was still sullen.

"Oh, it's Li Jiancheng......"

Chu Zhen nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat opposite Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "What's going on?" Last time, you said that you were going to lead the troops into battle, why did you become your eldest brother leading the troops again? The change of commander before the war, the army's heart is shaken, and it must not be careless! ”

Li Qingzhao lifted the curtain, walked over and sat next to Sister Lin, eating fruits while listening to Chu Langjun and the two emperors talking about military affairs.

“……”

Li Shimin was silent for a while, ate four or five lychees, and drank a cup of tea poured by Chu Zhen before sighing and saying:

"The number of days is like this, and I can't help it."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became solemn.

The number of days is immutable?

Li Shimin said again: "When besieging Chang'an that day, I used the flashlight sent by Mr. Chu to intimidate the general Yin Shishi, who was defending the city, so that he would not dare to kill my fifth brother easily.

Who knew that after the surrender of the Yin Shishi, he entered the prince's mansion and became my brother's staff, he may have told my brother about the city wall that day, I used a flashlight to shine on his eyes on the city wall that day, my brother entered the palace to report, my father called me to inquire, I concealed the affairs of the day, and the result was ...... Alas. ”

Without waiting for Chu Zhen and the others to speak, Li Shimin said again: "Last time I heard Mr. Chu say that the first time I led the army against Xue Ju, I was defeated due to malaria.

After I went back, I was prepared, and ordered the military doctor to prepare medicinal materials for the treatment of malaria, and got the pills and a detailed topographic map of the high jaw from Mr. Chu, thinking that I could break Xue Ju in a battle, who knew that because of the previous events, it was not me who led the army to fight, but my brother! ”

Therefore, he was worried that the Tang Army's first battle against Xue Ju was a battle that had to be lost in the days?!

The key is that this providence is not the wind and thunder, but the fact that he used a flashlight to scare the Yin Shishi that day, which led to a series of things.
