Chapter 192 Prince Yan's Mansion! Zhu Silang Has Entered the City!
"Father!"
Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu, who were leading their horses and preparing to go out, ran into Xu Da and subconsciously shrank their necks.
Xu Da smiled and nodded, turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins to the servant, and hurried to the mansion.
"Dad seems a little strange today." Xu Zengshou muttered softly.
Xu Yingxu nodded.
In the past, if he ran into them in broad daylight, not studying or practicing martial arts at home, but running outside.
He would definitely have a stinky face and teach them a lesson.
"Let's go, Lan Chun and the others are still waiting for us. We can't lose the horse race today. If we lose again, we won't be able to gain a foothold on this street." Xu Yingxu reminded.
"Hurry!"
"The master ordered that everything must be bought fresh."
...
When the two brothers were leading their horses and were about to leave, a noise came from the mansion door behind them.
Subconsciously turned his head...
The housekeeper led a group of servants, their faces full of excitement, and rushed out of the mansion in a mess. At the side door not far away, there were people driving several large carts out.
Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu paused and looked at each other suspiciously.
Xu Zengshou whispered: "What's going on? Are there guests coming to the house? His Majesty's visit to the house is not so grand..."
When the housekeeper led people past him, Xu Yingxu grabbed the housekeeper, "What happened?"
"Second Young Master, don't you know?" The housekeeper was surprised and said: "The Duke just heard the news in the palace that the eldest lady and the son-in-law, with two children, set off from Tuqiao Village this morning."
After the words fell, the housekeeper bowed and hurriedly led a group of people to leave in a mighty manner.
"Zhu Silang and Xu Daya are coming back!" Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu looked at each other and murmured in unison.
Xu Zengshou was obviously hesitant, and asked tentatively: "Second brother, are you going to compete with Lan Chun and the others?"
"No." Xu Yingxu rejected it outright, "You can compete with Lan Chun and the others another day. It's a rare opportunity to see Xu Daya make fun of her. Let's go back."
After that, he led the horse back.
The two returned to the mansion.
Tiptoed to Xu Da's study.
Then he heard a hearty laugh.
Haha...
"Your sister doesn't have much conscience, but she still thinks about Daddy and knows to bring the two little guys back to see Daddy."
Xu Yingxu listened secretly and curled his lips.
Xu Zengshou whispered and laughed: "Do you think Daddy is a little bit? He said Xu Daya didn't have much conscience, but he was like a mirror in his heart. But look, Xu Daya has been married for a year, and she only remembered to go home after giving birth to a child. Look how happy he is..."
"Who is muttering outside, get in!" The angry shouting scared Xu Zengshou to stop instantly.
Xu Da stared at the door with a dark face.
Xu Huizu, Xu Miaoyin and their four siblings also looked at the door.
Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu appeared timidly.
"Why are you back? Today we will give you a special permission. You don't have to come back at night." Xu Da looked at the two of them, his face darkened a little, and he gave them a special permission in a very open-minded way.
Xu Daya is back, and they can't even go home? It seems to be a special permission, but the father's face is full of disgust. Can he restrain himself a little?
Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu's faces were full of grievances and indignation.
Xu Da was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Turning his head, he ordered: "Miaoyin, you three sisters, go to the small courtyard where your elder sister used to live, take out the prepared bedding, and take advantage of the good weather to dry it."
"Prepare the piano, pen, ink, paper and inkstone that your elder sister used before. By the way, prepare a set for your brother-in-law as well. They are both people who love reading..."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and nodded, got up, and left happily with her two younger sisters.
When he went out, he glanced at Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu who were standing at the door with their heads down.
Xu Da stood up, "Hui Zu, you and Dad go to the street again and see if you can buy something fun for Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua."
Humph!
When he passed by Xu Yingxu and the others, he snorted coldly.
Xu Huizu followed them out and urged them in a low voice: "What are you standing there for? Follow me!"
These two little bastards clearly regretted it, but they couldn't let go of their pride.
But it's understandable.
They are young.
A year ago, my brother-in-law was demoted to a commoner and expelled from the family tree. The women and children on the whole street laughed at my brother-in-law in private.
His Majesty clearly promised to choose a good husband for my sister.
But my sister insisted on marrying my brother-in-law who was a farmer.
The various houses and families on the street laughed at my brother-in-law and my sister.
These two little bastards felt that my brother-in-law and my sister made them laugh and lose face, so they complained about my sister and were angry with my brother-in-law.
But now is completely different from a year ago.
Many people predicted that my brother-in-law would not be able to survive in the countryside, but it did not happen.
On the contrary, he lived a prosperous life.
He built a big house and taught a group of children who passed the Tongsheng exam.
He lived in seclusion in the countryside, but the auction of tax packages and local villages and communities he proposed attracted the attention of the government.
Now, he returned to Jinling City because he wanted to take the exam for a scholar.
The whole street, the private ridicule and discussion about my brother-in-law and my sister, has long disappeared!
Moreover, even the emperor who had said all kinds of harsh words at the beginning, is now trying to improve the father-son relationship with my brother-in-law through various "humble" ways.
As for these two little bastards.
The last time my brother-in-law almost left Lan Yu's life in Tuqiao Village, they were in awe.
Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou endured the burning of their faces and followed with their heads down.
The two secretly looked at each other and exchanged glances: This time, should we apologize to Zhu Silang and Xu Daya?
...
Jiangning.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun took Minfeng and Chunxiao to have lunch at Langlang Grilled Fish before setting off.
Xu Miaoyun played with a rattle, teasing Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua, "This is given to you by senior brother Minfeng and senior sister Chunxiao. Do you like it?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he saw the two little guys, their big eyes following the rattle in Xu Miaoyun's hand.
Zhou Shixian held Rhubarb in his hand and whispered: "Mr. Zhu, at the end of last month, Mr. Wang gave Minfeng and Chunxiao a penny each to buy candies. They saved up. Yesterday I went to see them, and they asked me to I took it with me and bought this rattle with the two cents I saved.”
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
They knew that Minfeng and Chunxiao had money.
Except they had it for the two little guys.
After Miaoyin went home, she mentioned attending the apprenticeship ceremony and gave the two little guys fifty coins each.
Unexpectedly, the two little guys used their school money to save up and buy this rattle for Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua.
The meaning is different.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other and smiled. Zhu Di smiled and said: "Shixian, thank you for telling me this."
Zhou Shixian scratched his head and shook his head with an introverted smile.
…
It's approaching dark.
Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the door from time to time and looked at the setting sun in the west.
Then he walked around in front of Ma Xiuying.
"Can you please stop spinning! It makes me upset!" Ma Xiuying raised her head and cursed with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused, turned around and glared, asking angrily: "Are we the biological father of the fourth bastard?"
"We are the biological grandfather of our two children, right?"
"Why can't we go see Gao Chi and Yuying tonight?"
"If he wants to fall behind Xu Da, he is just a father-in-law and a grandfather! Why should he be ranked in front of us!"
Just think about it and make him angry.
The son is his own, and the daughter-in-law is also a member of the Zhu family.
The two grandsons are even named Zhu.
But the family returned to Jinling.
He actually has to wait until tomorrow to see it!
"You don't know what you have done yourself. Let's not talk about other things. What did you do when Miaoyun was pregnant with two children!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's "angry and arrogant" arrogance was instantly extinguished, and Li Kui muttered: "Didn't we know it at the time?"
Ma Xiuying smiled and glared, and said seriously: "Xu Da is having a happy family reunion today. If you go over, what if the atmosphere becomes awkward?"
"Tomorrow morning, the fourth child has to take the exam."
"I will accompany you to the Xu Mansion when the time comes, and I will start with my daughter-in-law as a breakthrough..."
"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands angrily, sat down next to him, and took a sip of water angrily, "After all, we can't go today, right?"
He understands everything.
The daughter-in-law will definitely not show off to him.
Tomorrow, while the fourth child is away for the exam, if I bring Xiuying with me, I will definitely see Gao Chi and Yuying.
Don't look at that stinky face of the fourth asshole either.
"If you can't wait even one night, there is another way."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and stared at Ma Xiuying eagerly, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"There is no one at Prince Yan's Mansion in the Fourth Prince. It's also on that street. We can go to Prince Yan's Mansion. You can step on a ladder and take a peek..."
The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched fiercely.
Too humble, right?
He is the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
He lowered his head, struggled and hesitated for a while, then raised his head, "You are not allowed to tell anyone. In the future, when Gao Chi and Yuying grow up, you are not allowed to tell either!"
This face-conscious man!
Ma Xiuying was immediately amused and nodded angrily, "Don't tell me!"
"Then go quickly, otherwise all the officials will go to court soon, and it will be too conspicuous for us to go."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang was very low-key, took a detour, deliberately avoided the six yamen, and quietly left the palace soon after.
As soon as it was time to go to court, all the officials set off one after another.
In the past, in order to show diligence to the emperor, they would deliberately leave late when it was time to go to court.
But today, everyone was in no mood to show off. They all wanted to rush back to the mansion to receive first-hand news that Zhu Silang's family had returned to the city.
Three, three, five, five, some riding together or riding in the same car, talking.
"I heard that His Majesty has said that if Zhu Silang is admitted as a scholar, his scholar examination paper will be framed and hung in the ancestral temple."
"Guangzong Yaozu, I understand, I understand. After all, this is the first scholar in your Majesty's family."
"Ha ha……"
"It's still unknown whether you can pass the exam. Don't forget, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites now?"
…
Jinling South Gate.
When Zhu Di appeared driving the bullock cart, a group of brightly dressed half-grown men on the city tower instantly became energetic.
"Zhu Silang is back!"
"Let's go! Go home and report the news!"
…
Talking in low voices, they ran down the tower, got on their horses, and galloped into the city.
Mao Laoliu noticed the group of half-grown children at the top of the city. After approaching Jinling, he secretly resumed his vigilance as the leader of the Jinyi Guard.
Although there are not many people who dare to risk the rule of the world.
But he always insisted on sailing the boat with caution.
He whipped the donkey and caught up with the bullock cart, "Young Master, Young Madam, in order to welcome you, some people in Jinling City have even used the tactics of scouting and sentry sentry."
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile.
In fact, they also discovered it.
However, they don't care.
The oxcart is getting closer and closer to the city gate.
It's almost curfew.
People leaving and entering the city are hurrying up.
For a moment, the city gate was a little crowded.
The oxcart slowly drove into the city gate amidst the flow of carriages and horses in and out of the city.
Xu Miaoyun's thoughts were brought back to the time when she got married a year ago.
Outside the city gate, the people were curious and watched.
Lan Yu blocked them at the city gate.
After a year, she came back with Silang, and she came back with Silang to take the exam for the scholar.
At the same time, there were two more little ones, Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua.
The oxcart drove into the city.
Suddenly, Zhu Di suddenly understood. He turned his head and saw Xu Miaoyun smiling absentmindedly. He asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
His thoughts were interrupted. Xu Miaoyun raised her head with a smile and whispered, "I have thought about a lot. When I married myself to you a year ago, the people were curious and watched. Lan Yu blocked me at the city gate and frightened me."
"A year later, when I come back, I will accompany you to take the exam for the scholar. At the same time, there will be Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua."
While speaking, Xu Miaoyun leaned close to Zhu Di's ear and added in a very low voice, "Creditor, you are so awesome!"
Puff!
Zhu Di was successfully pleased by this sentence and smiled. He smiled and said in a low voice, "You are a debtor, you are good at talking!"
'How am I a debtor! '
Xu Miaoyun blushed and complained in her heart.
Mao Laoliu was behind, secretly watching the young couple talking and laughing, and couldn't help laughing.
…
"Zhu Silang and Xu Daya have entered the city!"
"Zhu Silang and Xu Daya are back!"
…
Just as Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were riding in a bullock cart, chatting and laughing as they approached Zhuzi Lane, a group of young boys rode into the lane at full speed.
Shouting and yelling.
The houses on both sides of the lane were instantly startled.
The men were waiting at home.
They ordered the women and children to go out to watch the excitement and report to them at any time.
The Prince of Yan's Mansion.
It has never been used since it was built.
Zhu Di has never lived here for a day.
A head quietly poked out from behind the wall...
Ma Xiuying stood below holding the ladder, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang sticking his butt out and bending his waist, afraid of being discovered, and tried her best to hold back her laughter...
I saw that everyone said it was too dry. I wanted to finish writing two chapters at noon, but time was too tight and I couldn't finish it, so I could only post it first.
Next, I will speed up the progress.
Thank you all for your support.
Finally, I shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
