Chapter 1561 Missions Enter the City

A small stove and a pot, this is Fang Xing's small stove.

Mo Chou was cooking outside the house, she bent down, her tight back outlined a curve.

Fang Xing stood at the door, looked away from the curve, and said, "Your skills are better than mine."

While frying the sliced ​​celery and meat in the pot, Mo Chou said, "Well, my concubine and my younger brother often cook by themselves, and even learned from the cook."

Fang Xing laughed and said, "But for me?"

The spatula stopped for a moment, and those white and tender ears gradually turned pink.

"It's going to be muddled!"

Fang Xing went over to snatch the spatula, Mo Chou said yes, and then said slightly annoyed: "Master is an important minister of the country, you can't do this."

Fang Xing said nonchalantly: "An important minister of a country! I just like to eat, yes, I am a foodie."

"Put salt, put salt!"

"It's time to cook!"

Fang Xing who was screaming, Fang Xing who was excited...

This is a Fang Xing that Mo Chou rarely sees. What she sees more is a solemn Fang Xing. Even if she is smiling, the smile doesn't reach her eyes.

"Okay, what else do you want to cook?"

Fang Xing turned sideways, saw those curious eyes, and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

Mo Chou lowered her eyes, and a strand of hair fell to the side of her face, reflecting the increasingly white and tender skin.

"No, I didn't see anything."

"The child will."

Fang Xing took the pot down and said seriously: "I will give you a child and teach him well, so that you can be proud of it."

Mo Chou hummed, then blinked her eyelashes, and said in a low voice: "I like children."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "I like it too, so... let's work hard together tonight?"

Mo Chou's face turned red like a big red cloth, she turned around and wanted to run into the house, but Fang Xing grabbed her and hugged her.

Fang Xing's chin felt the warmth of Mo Chou's face, and he whispered: "Don't worry, you are like a shy little daughter-in-law, but when you have a child, you still have to discipline him and restrain him, Don't be shy!"

Mo Chou in her arms nodded and hummed.

...

A large group of people came from Jinling City, with many attendants and a long carriage.

The sergeant who guarded the gate thought it was a caravan, but when he saw an official coming out, he complained in a low voice: "These people took advantage of it. They have to go back after eating and drinking."

The official said loudly: "I am the head of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Wei, and I have ordered to send the envoys of various countries to the sea to make way."

The little flag officer guarding the gate lazily said, "My lord, please come in."

The treasure ship has been stopped, how can these people go back?

And there are so many goods!

As the convoy slowly entered the city, they could see many boxes and even unwrapped silks and satins.

This is the reward of tribute!

An envoy was sitting on the carriage, holding a roll of treasure bills in his hand, talking to his companions triumphantly.

The interpreter in front heard what they said, and said to Xiao Wei: "My lord, they said they will spend all the money in Jinling."

Xiao Wei scolded in a low voice: "Gou Ri's! Does this mean you don't want to come back or what?"

The interpreter smiled wryly: "They have been saying all the way, although they are cautious, but the officials still heard a lot, the weak countries want to come, and the powerful ones don't want to come."

Xiao Wei pondered and said: "That is ambitious, I will go see His Highness later and talk about this matter."

The interpreter looked back to see if there was no one there, and then said, "My lord, these people say that they want to stay in Jinling for a while before they go to sea anyway!"

Xiao Wei turned around and took a look. Seeing those envoys and followers looking at both sides of the street obsessively, he gritted his teeth and said, "Made! They are all greedy for enjoyment. Ask someone to warn you that you are not allowed to buy things for the time being. I will go and see His Highness before we talk."

The interpreter said helplessly: "My lord, I'm afraid it won't work."

Xiao Wei said angrily: "What do you mean you can't do it? You don't even want to come, and you still take advantage of them? The Ministry sent an official here, but they disliked my being too verbose on this matter.

Now that I have recited this name, I will go all the way to the dark! "

Immediately, a small official went over to explain that there was no need to shop for the time being, and immediately the messengers began to clamor.

"My lord, they say that Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom, why are there such restrictions?"

"There are also people who say... Is Daming going to change his attitude towards the vassal state?"

Xiao Wei said disdainfully: "Don't pay attention to them, after you settle down, I will go see His Highness right away."

After arriving at the posthouse, the envoys were all eager to move, probably because they didn't want to take the treasure back.

Xiao Wei found someone, and then gave a bunch of copper coins to the sergeant in the post, expressly saying that these people are not allowed to go out, and then went to see Zhu Zhanji.

...

Ever since he came to Jinling, Zhu Zhanji hadn't been out of the house, so seeing the sky clear today, he asked Fang Xing and Mo Chou to go out together.

Ever since she was carried to Fangjiazhuang by that small sedan chair, Mo Chou hadn't gone out to play, and the two of them were very passionate, so she also called her younger brother happily, and then hid in the house for a while, and when she came out again... …

The lavender skirt and jacket, the woman's bun, the shy smile...

Fang Xing said with a smile: "She is a beautiful little daughter-in-law!"

Yaodi praised: "My young lady is beautiful, there are not many others in Jinling City who can compare to her!"

Mo Chou said in a low voice, "Please don't talk nonsense."

"Brother Dehua, are you alright?"

"alright!"

Fang Xing smiled: "Little daughter-in-law, come with me!"

After seeing Mochou, Zhu Zhanji also praised: "Brother Dehua has unparalleled vision, so let's go to Mochou Lake today."

...

Today is not Xiumu, but the rare sunny day still attracts many people to visit the lake.

Mochou Lake was given to the Xu family during the Hongwu period, and later there were anecdotes about Zhu Yuanzhang playing chess with Xu Da, but most of them were fictional.

In the past, there was no way for idlers to enter Mochou Lake. Unless you had a good relationship with the Xu family, otherwise you could only watch from a distance, not up close.

But now Wei Guogong's family has been dormant, and Xu Qin himself died inexplicably, and he doesn't know why. Therefore, the Xu family kept a low profile, and Mochou Lake began to open to the outside world.

A group of people boarded a boat by the lake, and then slowly sailed into the lake.

The boat belonged to the Xu family, and the housekeeper of the Xu family kept apologizing.

On the boat, Mo Chou and Yaodi were enjoying the scenery at one end, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were at the other end, and the steward of the Xu family kept talking good things.

"Your Majesty's decree arrived the day before yesterday. When my master heard that Juelu was restored, he wanted to go to Beijing on the spot to thank His Majesty for his kindness. He fainted from excitement, and he is still lying on the bed until now, and asked the old slave to come to His Majesty. Plead guilty here."

The steward knelt down while speaking.

Zhu Zhanji pondered. To be precise, the decree was to go to Jinling, where he arrived the day before yesterday, but the envoy talked with Zhu Zhanji for a long time, and ended up delaying his trip to Xu's house until the day before yesterday.

As for Xu Qin's so-called fainting from excitement, this is a bit interesting.

According to Dongchang's report, Xu Qin's health is not very good, he is just struggling. The fainting the day before yesterday, and the entry of the acquainted Lang Zhong later, all indicated that the title of Wei Guogong was about to be replaced.

"Who is in charge of Duke Wei's mansion now?"

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Xu Qin was going to Beijing to congratulate him, but he stayed in Jinling because of an illness, but the woman from Wei Guogong's mansion went instead.

"Your Highness, he is the eldest son Xianzong."

The steward glanced at Zhu Zhanji anxiously, he was worried that the prince who was rumored to be tough would clean up the Xu family.

Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "Who is downstairs?"

When they went up to the second floor of the painting boat, Zhu Zhanji's guards and Fang Xing's servant searched it all, but they came back with a strange look on their faces and did not report.

Seeing sweat on his forehead, the housekeeper said, "Your Highness, it's Young Master Xianzong."
