Chapter 57 Zhu Yuanzhang: The Children Took the Blame for the Master's Wife!
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Huizu stood up nervously and saluted. His tongue was tied. He finally straightened it out and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty!"
"You little brat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "The queen is your aunt, and I am just your majesty?"
Xu Huizu lowered his head and twitched his lips.
To the queen, relying on his young age, he dared to pretend to be silly and call her aunt to add a little affection for his brother-in-law and sister.
But the emperor...
The brother-in-law is the emperor's biological son, and he was demoted to a commoner for a disagreement!
He was also expelled from the family tree!
He didn't dare to pretend to be silly in front of the emperor.
"Scare the child!" Seeing Xu Huizu's nervous look, Ma Xiuying glared at Zhu Yuanzhang unhappily and pulled Xu Huizu to sit down, "Huizu, don't pay attention to him."
"Go on and tell your aunt why you said your sister was in trouble?"
Zhu Yuanzhang twitched his lips and sat down quietly beside him.
Xu Huizu's lips moved, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. When the words came to his lips, he dared not say them.
"Don't be afraid, just pretend that your uncle doesn't exist." Ma Xiuying smiled and comforted him, and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang unhappily.
What a good atmosphere just now!
It's all gone when he came!
Xu Huizu relaxed a lot as Ma Xiuying continued to comfort him.
Thinking about what he saw and heard in Tuqiao Village, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Aunt, Miaoyin and I just entered the village and met the children who were playing the pot-throwing game."
"Miaoyin asked the children why they didn't go to class."
"The children said that their sister considered that they missed their father and brother and couldn't concentrate on the class, so she gave them a day off."
Ma Xiuying nodded slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who pretended to be invisible and listened carefully, nodded.
…
“Miaoyin and I hid outside the window and peeked.”
“Ajie was staring at a book, smiling with a red face, and pursing her lips in worry. She didn’t even notice Miaoyin and I standing outside the window.”
“I think Ajie is completely obsessed with her brother-in-law.”
Haha…
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t help it anymore and laughed: “At first, I really thought that Miaoyun girl was considering that the children couldn’t concentrate on the class, so she gave them a day off…”
“It’s obviously this girl who can’t concentrate on teaching, and she also threw the blame on the children, hahaha…”
“Now these children are young and can’t figure out the twists and turns. When they are older, they will understand that this holiday is because the master’s wife misses the master and can’t concentrate on teaching, and she also lets them take the blame, haha…”
Puff!
Ma Xiuying was originally happy for the relationship between the young couple, and when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's "black pot theory", she couldn't help laughing: "This matter will definitely become a happy story between Silang, Miaoyun and these children, and between teachers and students!"
Even Xu Huizu didn't expect this, and after a brief surprise, he couldn't help laughing.
The eunuchs and palace maids on duty outside the palace heard the noise and secretly looked inside.
They had served the emperor and empress for many years, and had never seen the emperor and empress so happy!
It took a while for Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying to calm down their strong smiles.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Huizu on the shoulder, "Although you, a little brat, are looking down on others and making your uncle very angry, but just because you have good things and you still think of your aunt, your uncle can't treat you badly."
"You can inherit the title of Jinyiwei Baihu."
"In the future, when you inherit your father's title of Duke, you can pass on this title of Jinyiwei Baihu to your other descendants."
Hearing this, Xu Huizu's face changed, and he hurriedly stood up and said in panic: "Your Majesty..."
"Uncle." Under Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes Under the threat, Xu Huizu had to bite the bullet and change his address, explaining: "I sent wild vegetables to my aunt just to let her taste them, and also... also... also wanted to show some filial piety on behalf of my brother-in-law and elder sister."
"In addition, I am young, impulsive and reckless, and I want to vent my anger for my brother-in-law by holding Xiao Hei and parading through the streets to give gifts to my aunt."
"I... I..."
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Huizu did not dare to be clever and said all the purpose of entering the palace to give gifts.
The more he spoke, the more nervous he became, and the more he stuttered.
"I... I... I'm not doing it for myself..."
'If you really want to reward, give it to my brother-in-law and elder sister. This sentence came to the tip of his tongue, but he didn't dare to say it after all.
Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion, pulled Xu Huizu to sit down, and smiled and comforted him: "Your uncle has rewarded you, so you can rest assured and continue."
She was also a little puzzled.
There is nothing wrong with being a hundred households of Jinyiwei.
The expensiveness lies in the word hereditary!
Since the establishment of the Zhenfusi Yamen.
This is the first Jinyiwei hereditary official position awarded by Chongba!
After talking for a while, Ma Xiuying personally sent Xu Huizu out.
When he returned, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang had already untied four bags and looked through the contents.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the footsteps, holding the horse tooth agar in one hand and the wild garlic in the other, looked up and smiled: "This is a good thing. Although it is a wild vegetable, it is very delicious! Let's eat these tonight!"
Ma Xiuying walked over, snatched the wild vegetables from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and put them into the bag.
Moved the bag from in front of Zhu Yuanzhang to behind him, and then sat down again.
A series of actions, neat and tidy...
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his empty hands, then looked at the four bags behind Ma Xiuying, "What do you mean?"
"This is what Huizu gave me!" Ma Xiuying said unhappily.
Bang!
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he slammed the table, and then smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, it's for you, but you can't eat so much..."
"Tell me, why did you confer the title of hereditary centurion to Huizu? Was it just because you were happy, or was there some other purpose?" Ma Xiuying stared at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Are you angry about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, we confer the title of hereditary centurion to Huizu, not targeting that bastard Lao Si."
"First of all, I'm happy!"
"Secondly, Huizu is a kid I like. He likes to eat wild vegetables and dares to show them openly. Unlike many people, they think wild vegetables are not worthy of their status. Humph! At the beginning, when they were so hungry that their eyes were green, they didn't even have wild vegetables to eat!"
...
"This little guy is smart and sentimental. Now I'll show him a favor and let him work hard for Biao'er in the future."
"Thirdly, Xu Da has made great contributions and hard work over the years, but he can't be conferred any more titles. Take this opportunity to give the title to Huizu."
"Now, I'm qualified to eat, right?"
As he said, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the bag.
After confirming that the reward was not aimed at Zhu Di, Ma Xiuying smiled and glared unhappily...
...
Without waiting for the court to end.
The news that Xu Huizu was awarded the title of hereditary centurion of the Jinyiwei spread.
"The first hereditary centurion of the Jinyiwei, the emperor actually gave it to Xu Huizu?"
"Although the official position is small, it is a precedent! It is of great significance!"
"What did the Xu family boy say to the emperor and the empress in the queen's bedroom?"
"Wild vegetables are so good? Zhu Silang and his wife's four bags of wild vegetables were given to the brother-in-law, and a precedent-breaking hereditary official position was obtained?"
...
After hearing the news, all officials were stunned, and then they began to discuss it in a sour tone.
...
Xu Mansion.
Without waiting for the court to end.
Xu Da hurried back to the mansion, threw the reins to the servant, and immediately asked: "Where is the eldest master?"
"In the study."
...
Study.
Xu Huizu was restless.
The incident was unexpected, making him very uneasy.
Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou looked at him with some envy.
When did wild vegetables become so valuable?
Carrying four bags of wild vegetables, going to the palace as gifts, and making a disgraceful appearance, he got a hereditary position of a hundred households in return?
At this moment, the neighbors on the whole street were jealous and envious!
Squeak!
The door was opened from the outside.
Xu Huizu looked up and when he saw Xu Da, he hurriedly stood up, "Father..."
Xu Da glanced at Xu Yingxu and the others, and said in a deep voice: "You two go out."
Although Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey, and went out with their heads down.
The door was closed, and Xu Huizu said nervously: "Father, why did His Majesty reward me so much? I am very uneasy..."
After Xu Da sat down steadily, he comforted him: "Don't worry, tell me in detail, what did you say and do in the palace."
"This is what happened..." Xu Huizu suppressed his uneasiness and relayed the story to Xu Da as detailed as possible.
When he heard Xu Miaoyun sitting in front of the window, she was sometimes blushing and giggling, and sometimes pursing her lips in worry.
Xu Da couldn't help but laugh, and muttered unhappily: "You are so good, Zhu Silang, it's only been a short time, and you let Daya be like this!"
Haha...
When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks about "children taking the blame", Xu Da couldn't help laughing again: "Your sister used to be so smart, what happened! If you can deceive children for a while, can you deceive them for a lifetime? When her students grow up and understand that she took the blame for her master's wife when she was a child, she will be laughed at by her students!"
Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Father, don't just laugh, His Majesty will reward you I, did I do that to my brother-in-law...”
“Don’t think about it!” Xu Da made the final decision, “Accept the reward peacefully, do what you should do, but remember the kindness of His Majesty to our Xu family.”
“As the eldest son of the Xu family, you will represent the Xu family in the future to repay His Majesty’s kindness.”
“Ask the kitchen to cook a table of dishes with the things your sister brought back. Last time, other people in the family didn’t eat it, this time the whole family can try it.”
“Okay!” After confirming that everything was fine, Xu Huizu immediately relaxed, smiled and responded, and left in a hurry.
…
Just when the entire Jinling City dignitaries were jealous of a few bags of wild vegetables, their eyes turned red, and they said sour words.
Before the evening came.
Zhu Di and his party took a shortcut and finally arrived at the gathering point of the laborers in Jiangning County…
Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, investment, and follow-up reading.
