Chapter 183 Zhu Biao Went to Tuqiao Village, Zhu Yuanzhang Hinted to Bring Dong
Chapter 183 Zhu Biao went to Tuqiao Village, Zhu Yuanzhang hinted to bring something back
Wang's Pharmacy.
It is a typical front shop and back yard model.
The back yard is divided into the front yard and the back yard.
The back yard is where the Wang family lives.
The front yard is where patients, apprentices and assistants of the pharmacy live.
Lan Yu once lived in the front yard for a period of time.
Mr. Wang had accepted apprentices in his early years and had established himself in the surrounding county government, but after middle age, he never accepted apprentices again.
This time, Mr. Wang accepted apprentices, which shocked many prominent figures in Jiangning.
Mr. Wang also attached great importance to the two apprentices he accepted in his old age.
The standard of apprenticeship is very large.
Front yard.
Wang's family and pharmacy helpers were busy in and out.
Near noon, guests began to arrive one after another, and the singing and shouting of reporting names and gift lists rang out from time to time.
In a room in the east wing.
Chunxiao and Minfeng were wearing brand new Wang's Pharmacy, small-sized medical uniforms.
The two little guys, standing on stools, climbed to the window, watching the people coming and going in the yard.
"Minfeng, my father and uncle have been living in the county these days, right? They will come to see us to learn from the master today, right?"
"Yes!"
"I dreamed of the master and the master's wife last night, and also dreamed of the little junior brother and the little junior sister."
Minfeng, who was a little depressed, heard Chunxiao's dream and turned his head and asked: "What else?"
Chunxiao smiled and said: "I dreamed that the little junior sister was very naughty, and the master's wife had a severe headache, but the master just spoiled her. The little junior brother in the dream was different from now. He was not skinny, but grew into a little fat boy. The master took the little junior brother to the village every day, got up early for a morning run, and the little junior brother met us on the morning walk and chanted, winked at us and made faces for help, and wanted to talk to us and be lazy. The master glared at him, and the little junior brother was scared, stuck out his tongue at us, and then continued to run forward ..."
"Running and running, I couldn't see anymore, and was woken up by Aunt Wang to change clothes..."
"In your dream, are we still this old?"
"Yes."
"What about the little junior brother?"
"Look at the little junior brother's height, he should be five or six years old..."
Haha...
Minfeng suddenly laughed happily, "Chunxiao, when the little junior brother and sister are five or six years old, we are already thirteen or fourteen. In your dream, we didn't grow up, only the little junior brother and sister grew up."
"When we learn Master Wang's medical skills, the little junior brother and sister will be about five or six years old."
...
"Mr. Wang is here, send a piece of high-quality cloth!"
"Mr. Zhang is here, send..."
...
As it gets closer to noon, the outside of the Wang family's house is getting more and more lively.
On the way to Wang's medicine shop.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin came with horses.
Xu Huizu smiled and said, "I am familiar with this road even if I don't ask anyone. Last time, Uncle Lan lost half his life in Tuqiao Village. He was treated in Wangji Pharmacy at that time. My father and I have been here before."
"Mr. Wang from Wangji Pharmacy is said to have great medical skills. It is a good choice for Chunxiao and Minfeng to be his teacher. As for his character, I think my brother-in-law must have understood it before agreeing."
"I am not worried about the character of this Mr. Wang." Xu Miaoyin observed the surroundings and said as she walked, "My sister was pregnant and had several diagnoses with this old man. I am worried about the Wang family. In the silk and satin shop, those yamen runners said that there are also some bastards in the Wang family..."
This kind of thing is inevitable for a slightly larger family.
Going to support the two little guys is to let those bastards in the Wang family know that Chunxiao and Minfeng are not to be bullied at will.
...
As the brother and sister talked, they came to the gate of the Wang family mansion.
The Wang family's offshoot who was waiting at the door to welcome the guests hurried over and asked with a smile: "Who are you..."
Xu Huizu clasped his fists and smiled, "Mr. Xu's family, my sister and brother-in-law are two children, and they were once your master and mistress."
"This is our gift."
As he spoke, Xu Huizu turned around, took three pieces of high-quality cloth from the side of the horse's belly, and handed them over.
"Mr. Xu's family came to congratulate us and sent three pieces of high-quality cloth!"
"Please come in, both of you."
Amid the singing and shouting, someone helped the brother and sister take the horses away and settle them down, and the young people from the Wang family's offshoot enthusiastically invited the two to enter the courtyard.
"I didn't expect that these two rural guys in Tuqiao Village would have such a generous elder."
"..."
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin smiled at each other as they listened to the discussions behind them.
This is exactly the effect they wanted.
Xu Miaoyin asked: "Where are Chunxiao and Minfeng, can we meet them?"
"Mr. Xu! Minfeng, look, it's Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu!"
As soon as Xu Miaoyin finished speaking, she heard a surprised shout from the side.
She looked in the direction of the voice.
She smiled immediately.
Chunxiao climbed on the window, poked her little head out, and waved hard.
Xu Miaoyin walked quickly towards the east wing.
Xu Huizu saw the Wang family branch opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to stop him, and smiled and apologized: "My sister taught the two children for a while, can we meet them?"
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, the Wang family branch smiled and agreed.
...
In the wing room.
Chunxiao and Minfeng looked at Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin in surprise.
They were familiar with each other.
Xu Miaoyin had taught the children.
Xu Huizu lived in the ancestral hall for a long time.
Xu Miaoyin looked at the two children with a look of surprise on her face, and squatted down with a smile, "Don't you know them?"
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Xu Dalang."
The two children immediately smiled and said hello.
The corners of Xu Huizu's lips twitched.
Why is it that Miaoyin is Mr. Xu, and he is only worthy of Xu Dalang?
Chunxiao asked in surprise: "Mr. Xiao Xu, did the master and mistress ask you to come?"
Xu Miaoyin smiled and shook her head, "We are going to Tuqiao Village and passing by Jiangning. I heard about your apprenticeship, so I came to see you and support you."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Chunxiao and Chunxiao thanked him happily.
Today, as a disciple, in addition to their father, Mr. Xiao Xu and Xu Dalang were also present. They suddenly no longer felt nervous or scared.
…
Chatting later.
Xu Miaoyin took out two small pieces of silver from the money bag at her waist and handed them to the two of them separately.
Chunxiao and Minfeng hurriedly put their hands behind their backs and shook their heads: "Mr. Xiao Xu, my wife prepared it for us when we left, really."
As she spoke, Chunxiao lifted up the corner of her clothes and said, "Master and Mistress told us not to show off our wealth and use it when we encounter difficulties. I sewed it in secretly."
"Mr. Xiao Xu, Chunxiao also sewed it here for me." Minfeng also lifted up the corner of his clothes to show it, "Master and Mistress also brought us books."
Xu Miaoyin stretched out her hand and pinched it. Sure enough, it was some small broken silver.
She smiled and put away the money, counted a hundred coins from the purse, divided it into two parts and stuffed them into the hands of the two little guys, "Since sister has prepared money for you in case of emergency, then Mr. Xu will Not for you anymore.
The more of this thing, the better.
Too much will cause trouble.
"Take these fifty coins with you and buy something you like to eat."
…
Not long after, Chunxiao and Minfeng were led away by a woman called Wang's aunt, Mr. Wang's daughter, to prepare.
The apprenticeship session is about to begin.
Xu Miaoyun and Xu Huizu were led to the front yard.
Tables were placed in the front yard.
Because they were Xu Miaoyun's parents, they were arranged to sit at the front table with Fourth Uncle Su and Third Uncle Liu.
"Congratulations from Zhou Shixian, the young owner of Langlang Grilled Fish in Jiangning County..."
"Congratulations from Team Leader Cao of the Zhuang Troop in Jiangning County..."
"Congratulations to Team Leader Liu of Jiangning County's arrest squad..."
"Congratulations from the leader of the soap class in Jiangning County..."
…
"Master Qian from Jiangning County congratulates..."
"Congratulations from the Prime Minister Yang County of Jiangning County..."
"The magistrate of Jiangning County congratulates..."
…
"Is Magistrate Fang here? It is said that Magistrate Fang came from the East Palace!"
"Mr. Wang is so proud that he even alarmed the entire county government by accepting a disciple!"
…
The guests at the banquet exclaimed in surprise when they heard a series of singing and drinking outside.
The Wang family, who had been waiting in the living room for Mr. Wang to come out to complete the apprenticeship ceremony, heard the sudden arrival of the guests, and they all ran out with surprise on their faces to greet the distinguished guests.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin looked at each other and smiled.
The guests at the dinner thought this was for the Wang family.
But they knew that this was for their brother-in-law.
Xu Huizu saw that the fourth uncle and Su were quite restrained. He turned sideways, smiled and whispered, "Third and fourth uncles, don't be so nervous. Their Wang family is not much more noble than our Tuqiao Village."
"Moreover, the Jiangning County officials are here to support my brother-in-law and the two children." Xu Huizu added in a low voice.
…
Soon, surrounded by the Wang family.
Fang Xiaoru came in with a group of county officials.
The guests present stood up one after another to greet him.
"Fourth Uncle Su, Third Uncle Liu."
Some government servants who knew Fourth Uncle Su and Third Uncle Liu came directly to Xu Huizu's table.
The sharp-eyed guests couldn't help but be surprised when they noticed it.
However, soon, something happened that shocked them even more.
When Fang Xiaoru was dealing with the squire who had a relationship, she accidentally saw Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin, and was slightly stunned, 'Are these two here to support the two children? ’
Then he hurriedly ended his conversation with the squires and celebrities and walked quickly.
Xu Huizu stood up first with the purpose of trying to outsmart Fang Xiaoru. When Fang Xiaoru came over, he pretended to be surprised, "You... you are the magistrate of Jiangning County. Last time you were at my brother-in-law's house, how did you say that you are a traveling student!" "
Fang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took Xu Huizu's hand and pulled him closer. He lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, it was Fang who was wrong last time, and your brother-in-law and sister recorded it in the account. On this occasion, Give Fang some face."
Well, he won't tell the young father-in-law of the Xu family that through his clever operation, Zhu Silang and Xu Daya have settled the account.
Xu Huizu smiled and whispered, "Fang Xizhi, no matter how cunning you are like a fox, you can't escape from the clutches of my brother-in-law and my sister. You will gain wisdom after every bite. Don't be that kind of person who cannibalize others and lie to others again." It’s a family matter.”
"Yes, yes." Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly.
Zhu Silang and Xu Daya each have eight hundred thoughts.
He also has a habit of keeping small accounts for others.
If His Majesty and the Crown Prince hadn't asked him to come to Jiangning, he would have stayed as far away as possible.
"Magistrate Fang, Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, my father invites them to go to the living room to watch the ceremony."
Just when Xu Huizu was running against Fang Xiaoru, the eldest son of the prince came to invite everyone.
Xu Huizu and others left and entered the living room.
The guests in the courtyard immediately started talking.
"Who are those boys and girls?"
"I heard that they are the mother-in-law of the former master's wife who had two children."
"It seems that Magistrate Fang is very familiar with the other party."
"When the county government officials came in just now, they went directly to greet the father of the two children. I feel that this time the entire county government came to congratulate, not for the Wang family, but for the two children."
"No, it's directed at Mr. Zhu. It is said that the former Magistrate Jiang highly respected Mr. Zhu!"
"Co-authored, the Jiangning government came to congratulate them and to support their two children!"
…
It’s noon this day.
Both the Jiangning government headed by Fang Xiaoru and the Xu Huizu brothers and sisters kept a low profile as much as possible to give the Wang family face.
But the Wang family goes up and down.
Even the guests who came here knew that these people came to support the two children because of their master and mistress.
Some people in the Wang family branch who were jealous of the two children also stopped their thoughts.
Afternoon.
At the city gate.
Xu Miaoyin looked at the two little guys and said with a smile: "When your wife is finished her confinement, your master will take the college examination. They will definitely come to see you then. Mr. Wang is a nice person. Learn from him." Learn the real thing.”
"Well, Mr. Xiao Xu!"
The two little guys nodded.
Xu Miaoyin got on her horse and looked at Zhou Shixian who was taking the two children out of the city, "Mr. Zhou, please send Chunxiao and the others back to Wangji."
Zhou Shixian nodded cautiously, "I will send the two children back safely."
We chatted briefly.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin said goodbye and rode away.
…
time flies.
Happy time passes faster.
But for some people, time goes very slowly.
Morning ends.
Zhu Biao accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to the imperial study.
At some point.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Tomorrow, will the two of the fourth family be full moon?"
‘Father, is it really unclear? ’
Zhu Biao tried his best to hold back his laughter. As far as he knew, his father was counting the days on his fingers.
"Yes, it's a full moon tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped and turned around...
Zhu Biao was not prepared, and the scene of suppressing laughter was fully seen by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched fiercely, and he asked with a black face: "I heard that you and your wife have decided to go to Tuqiao Village tomorrow?"
Xiuying can go, Biaoer can go!
If the second and third sons are in Beijing, I'm afraid they will go too!
Why can't he go?
Zhu Biao felt a strong sense of resentment and answered cautiously: "I have this plan. If... my father doesn't agree, forget it. I will stay and accompany my father."
General?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned even darker, he threw up his sleeves and turned around, angrily, "When did we not agree with you to go! If you want to go, you can go..."
call!
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly caught up, persuading: "Father, why don't you come too?"
Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly, and the expression of excitement on his face flashed away, "He didn't invite us, what should we do?"
‘Co-author, are you still waiting for the fourth child to invite you? ’
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sneered and shook his head helplessly. What a wonderful occasion it was tomorrow. As a grandfather, he was going to celebrate the full moon banquet for his children. As the father of his children, the fourth child would definitely forgive him even if he was angry.
My father is determined to save face and suffer the consequences.
If you don’t know how to hold on to the steps, just take the initiative to get down.
It will be uncomfortable to be alone in the palace tomorrow.
Arrive at the Imperial Study Room.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the imperial case and warned: "After you go, as an elder brother, you will beat him hard. Three days after the full moon banquet, it will be the college entrance examination. Tell him, don't cheat, this is for our elders." It’s a big matter for the Zhu family to fight for their reputation!”
"If a scholar fails even one exam, don't blame me for tormenting him!"
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly and persuaded: "Father, there are so many scholars in the world, but how many of them actually get the title of scholar? Isn't the requirement for the fourth child in one exam too harsh?"
According to admission ratio.
The most talented person in the academy examination is one in a thousand.
The number of candidates for the provincial examination is one out of five thousand.
The number of Jinshi in the National Examination is one in ten thousand.
Each level becomes more difficult than the last, and the competition increases exponentially.
snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and looked up at Zhu Biao.
There are some things Biao'er doesn't know.
But he knows.
Ever since girl Miaoyun got married, the young couple has been studying every day.
As far as he knew, the books in the old brother's house had been changed eight times in more than a year.
There are several big boxes every time!
In other words, during this year, the young couple read at least a thousand books!
That bastard has a lot of ink in his stomach now!
As a scholar, as long as you fail the test, your attitude is not correct, and he will not accept excuses or refutations!
'If we don't remind Biao'er, will he be embarrassed, eat one, take one, and come back to be filial to us? ’
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and pondered.
Suddenly I felt unconfident.
‘If I were that bastard from the Fourth Brother, I would definitely be able to do it, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to do it like a gentleman. ’
"Xiong Ying is young, so don't follow him. He will be sent to the palace tomorrow. Father will take care of it himself. If there is anything delicious and fun at the fourth son's place, bring some back to Xiong Ying." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered with a straight face.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take Zhu Xiongying to see the countryside, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he had no choice but to agree: "I obey the order."
…
Return to the East Palace.
Zhu Biao told the matter to Crown Princess Chang.
Giggle...
After hearing this, Mr. Chang burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhu Biao looked suspicious.
Chang finally calmed down her smile and asked with a smile: "I really don't see the purpose of the emperor asking us to send Xiongying to the palace?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly. What purpose could the emperor have?
It's nothing more than being afraid that it will melt if you hold it in your mouth, and afraid that it will fall if you hold it in your hands.
He cares too much about Xiongying.
"Father cares about Xiongying, there is no doubt about that." Seeing that Zhu Biao hadn't figured it out, Chang explained with a smile, "But this time, there is another intention. Under the guise of Xiongying, let us bring things back from the fourth brother's house."
Puff!
Haha...
Zhu Biao finally understood and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he shook his head helplessly, "Father, he is just too strong-willed. In the end, he is the one who suffers. You should get ready. The emperor agreed. We will set off tomorrow morning after the curfew ends..."
