Zhu Xiang said: "People's hearts are insufficient, not to mention that he comes from a humble background, and there are many great sages around him, he always feels that the day is precarious, and he hopes to do his best to slap you." Such a person, if you are a wise man, he is a virtuous minister, if you are a tyrant, he is a minister, and if your descendants can't suppress him, they will be traitors. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "It seems that we must cultivate future generations." ”

Ying Xiaozheng thought of the sons of Da Ying Zheng in the dream, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

My sons will not be as useless as the sons of the great heroes in the dream. As soon as they are born, they will be given to their uncle to raise!

Zhu Xiang was very relieved when he heard Ying Xiaozheng's words.

After most kings understood Li Si, they would think about taking Li Si with him when he died, so that future generations would not be able to suppress Li Si.

Ying Xiaozheng did not hesitate to choose to teach future generations well.

Zhu Xiang could see that Ying Xiaozheng didn't deliberately say what he liked to hear because he was here, Ying Xiaozheng really made this choice confidently.

When Fusu is born, take it with you. I just don't know if that kid will be called Fusu. The nephew in front of Zhu Xiang is still a child, and he imagines his nephew's son.

In winter, Zhu Xiang calculated the time and wanted to go back to Xianyang.

Ying Xiaozheng was puzzled: "Why do you want to go back to Xianyang at this time?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I promised the king that after he is filial, I will cook a big meal for him." ”

Ying Xiaozheng's eyelids and the corners of his mouth continued to twitch: "Just for this, my uncle traveled thousands of miles for nearly half a year, going back and forth from Xianyang and Wu County?" ”

Zhu Xiang rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's head: "Since you have promised, you have to do it." ”

Ying Xiaozheng waved his hand and told his uncle to get out, and he would take good care of his aunt.

Sometimes he really doesn't understand what his uncle is thinking, but now there is nothing wrong with Wu County, and the eldest father has given his uncle the right to come and go freely, and his uncle can go if he wants.

Zhu Xiang took a few jars of sauerkraut to the north.

Although he still did not cultivate cabbage, he cultivated different varieties of greens. There is a lot of sea salt in Wu County, and Zhu Xiang is very extravagant to make kimchi by pickling all the vegetables with high-quality sea salt.

Chili pepper and Sichuan pepper are added to the kimchi, highlighting a spicy and fresh fragrance, which is the favorite taste of the Qin Wang's family.

Zhu Xiang thought that King Qin's filial piety must have been very hard for a year, and with his filial piety to the old King Qin, he would definitely not dare to eat anything delicious. Now bring some Laotan sauerkraut back, you can appetize King Qin.

Zhu Xiang made an absolute long journey back to Xianyang because he wanted to cook a delicious meal for King Qin, and Li Mu and Wang Jian both gave Zhu Xiang speechless expressions.

Lu Buwei and Li Si slapped their thighs in the same way, and learned a lot.

Meng Tian carefully gave Zhu Xiang a package, hoping that Zhu Xiang could help him bring a letter to his family.

Especially for the letter to his younger brother, he specially added a wax seal, for fear that others would peek at it.

Meng Tian and his younger brother were both selected as Ying Xiaozheng's "playmates", but now that he is the only one who follows Ying Xiaozheng, he must be very sad to think about it.

Meng Tian wanted to tell his younger brother, don't be sad, hurry up and study, my brother has made a list of things you need to learn. If you come to Gongzizheng's side, you won't know anything, and you will be Lingchi by Gongzizheng's mediocre gaze every day, then you will be really sad!

Every time Meng Tian felt that he could barely keep up with Ying Xiaozheng's rhythm, Ying Xiaozheng told him with his actions, you are still far away.

Generally, this kind of "speed" behavior is stopped by Zhu Xiang. His proud little master father was carried by Uncle Daxian and forced to rest.

At this time, Meng Tian could breathe a sigh of relief.

He wiped tears from his tears as he wrote a letter to his brother.

It's all bitter tears.

Brother, you must study hard, don't ask me, Gongzizheng may treat your brother and me as fools.

When Zhu Xiang passed by Meng Wu's office, as soon as Meng Wu heard that Meng Tian had written a letter, he unceremoniously opened Meng Tian's letter, and Zhu Xiang didn't stop him.

Zhu Xiang was a little angry: "Meng Tian specially sealed the letter, how can you not leave him any privacy?" ”

Meng Wu was very puzzled: "What privacy does my son want?" Do you want to see it? ”

Zhu Xiang: "Don't look at it! ”

Meng Wule said: "Okay, if you don't look at it, I'll tell you." ”

Zhu Xiang covered his ears.

Meng Wu couldn't stand up straight with a smile.

Sometimes his friend's inexplicable insistence is really funny. Whether it was insisting on not reading or listening to what was written in his son's letter, or going back to cook for King Qin.

After Meng Wu laughed enough, he carefully read Meng Tian's letter and made sure that there was nothing taboo in Meng Tian's letter, so he resealed the letter with wax.

"What about Han Fei?" After seeing that the letter was resealed, Zhu Xiang put down his hand covering his ears and turned around.

Meng Wudao: "I don't know. He runs outside every day, and I don't know where he went. ”

Zhu Xiang frowned: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

He originally asked Han Fei to come to him after he was busy, but Han Fei wrote a letter saying that he had a lot of things to do and would not come to Wu County in a short time.

Zhu Xiang saw that Han Fei had found what he wanted to do, so he naturally would not let Han Fei come to Wu County forcibly.

"I sent someone to protect him, and it should be fine." Meng Wudao, "If there is something, he is the one who caused it." ”

Zhu Xiang: "......"

He raised his fist, which was smaller than a casserole, to beat Meng Wu.

Meng Wu dodged and said with a smile: "I have almost wiped out the bandits here, if he has something, he must have deviated from the official road and gone to an inaccessible place, this is not self-inflicted." Zhu Xiang, Han Fei is not older than you, how can you take care of him like you take care of Zheng'er? Do you think he's a child? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "My mental age is more mature than him. You really don't have news of him? ”

Meng Wudao: "I got news from him five days ago, and he is still very good. ”

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that Meng Wu was deliberately teasing him, so he glanced at Meng Wu fiercely, and took away a jar of pickles given to Meng Wu.

Meng Wu's face fell, and he regretted teasing Zhu Xiang.

But Zhu Xiang didn't give him a chance to make amends. He could only watch Zhu Xiang leave by boat, and when he left, he made insulting gestures to him at the bow of the boat.

Meng Wu turned around and asked the adjutant general: "Do you think he still looks like a great sage?!" ”

The adjutant general didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Wu. You brought it on yourself.

Zhu Xiang went upriver and entered the Han River.

Unexpectedly, on the Han River, Zhu Xiang actually saw Bashu's grain fleet.

Li Erlang happened to be on the ship in Shu County.

"Uncle! Uncle! Li Erlang was bouncing on the deck, it was a lot darker, but he was still so lively and cheerful.

Zhu Xiang got on Li Erlang's boat and just gave Li Erlang a jar of sauerkraut that was detained from Meng Wu: "Is your father okay?" Is the project still going well? Has Shu County had a bumper harvest this year? ”

Li Erlang replied one by one: "Father is very healthy, the project is progressing smoothly, and Shu County has had a bumper harvest." Everything is fine, Father just wants to be a little bit of an uncle and a son. ”

After Zhu Xiang specifically inquired about the progress of Dujiangyan, he was amazed.

After the site selection time and the opening time are shortened, Dujiangyan may be repaired ten years earlier. After Dujiangyan is repaired, such a great credit should allow Li Bing to enter the court as an official. He may have a chance to meet Li Bing again in Xianyang.

Li Erlang is no longer the young man who yearns for the ranger and is reckless. He has matured a lot, so Li Bing asked him to follow the ship escorting grain to Xianyang to increase his knowledge.

Li Bing also prepared letters and gifts for Zhu Xiang. Although he didn't know whether Zhu Xiang was in Xianyang, he could send the letter and gifts to Zhu Xiang's mansion first.

Zhu Xiang walked with Li Erlang and others, and after visiting the officials who escorted the grain in Bashu, he walked with the fleet escorting the grain, and by the way, he called Li Erlang to his ship to point out the doubts accumulated by Li Erlang in his recent studies.

The officials of Bashu all looked at Li Erlang with very envious and jealous eyes.

They also wanted to ask Changping-kun for advice. But Chang Pingjun looked very kind, and always felt that there was something separated from people, so that they didn't dare to disturb rashly.

Could it be that the alienation they felt was Changpingjun's immortal energy?

Li Erlang quietly smiled at Zhu Xiang and said, "They are all envious of me." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Then you should study hard during this time." ”

Li Erlang shook his head: "Uncle, I know, don't nag." Uncle is still so nagging. ”

Zhu Xiang corrected: "You should call me uncle." ”

Li Erlang said: "Father said that he has fellowship with you, regardless of age. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Then it should also be called uncle...... That's it, you're free. ”

He didn't understand the name either. Maybe because of his high status? Can't it be because of his gray hair?

In fact, Li Erlang was originally called Zhu Xiang's middle father, and then Ying Xiaozheng said to Li Erlang that he didn't like the word "middle father" very much, so Li Erlang replaced it with "uncle".

Zhu Xiang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

Sometimes Zheng'er really doesn't hide his "singularity" at all. Even if he knew that Zheng'er's performance was the same as his mind, he must not be the real Qin Shi Huang. But he always suspected that Zheng'er might know a little bit about the future.

Otherwise, how could he say that he would never reconcile with Lü Buwei and hate the title of "middle father"?

Li Erlang asked: "They said that uncle, you are separated from outsiders by one layer, and you look easy to get along with, but it is actually difficult to approach." But if they ask their uncle for advice, he will definitely answer their questions. They misunderstood their uncle. ”

Zhu Xiang said seriously: "The alienation they see is also true. I just don't want to talk to people I don't know. ”

Who wants to socialize with people they don't know? Even if Zhu Xiang could casually talk to the peasants on the road for most of the day, he didn't want to talk about learning with these officials.

"But if they come and ask me, of course I'll answer their questions." Zhu Xiang blinked slyly and said, "So they better not come to ask me about it." ”

Li Erlang laughed heartily.

He seems to have returned to the happy times when Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng were still in Shu County with his family.

It was certainly one of the happiest times he will remember in his life.

……

When Zhu Xiang went ashore, none of the officials in Bashu spoke to Zhu Xiang.

They felt that they were thick-skinned enough, but they just didn't dare to disturb Zhu Xiang.

They thought they would have a chance after going ashore. From here to Xianyang, there is also a land route.

There's always a chance when everyone is stationed together to rest, right?

Who knows, Prince Chu actually greeted Zhu Xiang on the dock.

Of course, the crown prince Chu did not use the name of welcoming Zhu Xiang, but came to accept and escort this batch of grain sent by Bashu.

But as soon as the crown prince Chu saw Changpingjun and walked over quickly, without leaving the slightest line of sight to the appearance of the Bashu officials, he knew that this was just an excuse.

"It's rare that when I reunite with you after a long absence, you didn't fall ill." Zhu Xiang touched Prince Chu's shoulder with his fist, "It's quite strong." ”

Zi Chu said: "In order not to let you nag, I have been nesting in Xianyang for half a year to maintain my health." ”
