Chapter 6 Zhu Di Was Targeted by the Women in the Village

Soon after Zhu Biao entered Xu Da's room, Xu Miaoyun hurried over after hearing the news.

Followed by his younger brothers and sisters.

"Sister, the prince came to the mansion. Is he here to discuss your marriage with your brother-in-law?"

"What marriage! Our elder sister has an engagement with the Prince of Yan, not with the commoner Zhu Di!"

"Of course, how will elder sister live if she marries the commoner Zhu Silang now? The eldest lady of the Duke of Wei's mansion accompanies Zhu Silang to farm? Does Zhu Silang know how to farm? If elder sister marries him, she will have to starve!"

...

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly, "Hui Zu, take them away!"

Xu Huizu did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly pulled away Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu who were making sarcastic remarks and opposing the marriage.

Xu Miaoyun finally had peace in her ears.

Squeak

Soon after, the door opened.

Xu Miaoyun looked at it immediately.

Zhu Biao stepped out and was stunned when he saw Xu Miaoyun...

The corner of his lips moved slightly...

The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back, turning into a slight sigh. What qualifications did he have to force someone to marry the fourth child now?

The fourth child had never held a hoe since he was a child.

Now he is a farmer...

It's good enough to fill his stomach by growing grass and not eating crops.

Zhu Biao forced a smile and comforted: "Little sister, the fourth child is not worthy of you now. Father has chosen another good husband for the little sister. The fourth child..."

Ah!

Zhu Biao sighed and left quickly.

Xu Miaoyun curled her fingers slightly, trying to stay calm, bowed slightly to Zhu Biao's back, turned and walked into Xu Da's room.

Xu Da sat alone at the table, frowning and silent. He looked up when he heard footsteps and forced a smile, "Your Majesty has..."

"Father, I don't want to choose anyone else." Xu Miaoyun interrupted Xu Da.

Xu Da frowned even more, and said distressedly: "But... you will have to endure hardships when you marry him, farming..."

"Zhu Di is really not competent. No matter how much dowry Dad gives you, you will eventually run out of money."

"The dowry is only for once. Even if Dad wants to subsidize you in the future, the emperor will not allow it."

Zhu Di is not allowed to enter the city.

The guards at the city gates have been arranged.

If Zhu Di enters the city the day after tomorrow, he will be beaten out with sticks.

Even the changes in his daughter's marriage have been arranged.

It can be seen how firm the emperor's attitude is.

Zhu Di, who digs for food in the soil, can...

be good enough to support himself!

Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips slightly, and then said firmly: "The three betrothals and six ceremonies have been decided. No matter what happens in the future, my daughter will not change her mind!"

"Your Majesty does not let him enter the city. On the wedding day, my daughter will marry herself!"

Pah!

Xu Da jumped up anxiously, slapping the table, "No! Dad does not agree!"

...

Just when Xu Da and his daughter were arguing.

Lü Ben rushed back home breathlessly.

Lü Ben's son Lü Zhao hurried over and asked with gloating: "Dad, is the news from the palace true?"

"Did the emperor really say that if Zhu Di dared to return to the city on the wedding day, he would be beaten out with sticks?"

"Does the emperor really want Zhu Di to marry a village woman?"

Lü Ben smiled and said, "Of course it's true!"

He waved his hand as he spoke.

Lü Zhao came closer.

"You should immediately arrange for someone to spread the emperor's words to Tuqiao Village, and add some content, saying that Xu Da happily accepted the emperor's arrangement to find another good match for Xu Miaoyun. Make sure Zhu Di hears it and let him give up completely!"

After hearing this, Lü Zhao laughed and said, "Is this necessary?"

"The emperor doesn't allow Zhu Di to marry the Xu family, do you have to be a villain?"

Pah!

Lü Ben was so angry that he slammed the table and glared, "Doing things must be done without leaks!"

"Never give Zhu Di a chance to turn the tables!"

"Similarly, these rumors can also hit Zhu Di mentally!"

"In addition, they can destroy the relationship between Zhu Di and the emperor and the Xu family, making it impossible for them to reconcile, and Zhu Di and the Xu family will never have any contact again!"

Lü Zhao's eyelids twitched, it was too cruel!

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away, and make sure Zhu Di is beaten to a pulp!" Lü Zhao got up and made arrangements.

...

The next day.

"Have you heard? His Majesty has ordered that if the Prince of Yan shamelessly enters the city to marry Miss Xu tomorrow, the soldiers guarding the city will beat him out with sticks."

"Tsk tsk, your Majesty is so hard-hearted!"

"Your Majesty is determined to let the Prince of Yan marry a peasant woman."

"If the Prince of Yan farms, won't he starve? If I were Miss Xu, I would break off the engagement even without your Majesty's order!"

"Yes, anyone who is smart will not jump into this fire pit now. The Prince of Yan is pampered and farms..."

"I suspect that the Prince of Yan can't even tell the difference between grass and crops!"

...

Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks were deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, causing a sensation throughout Jinling.

...

Tuqiao Village.

Beside the dried-up canal.

"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"

Zhu Di shouted slogans and waved his head to clear the silted canal.

After more than ten days of "fraudulent subsidies" to strengthen his body.

He can easily open the canal without any burden or fatigue.

And it can also ensure that every time a labor action is completed, the net gain of strength reaches the passing line of +0.5.

50% net return rate is very high.

Now clean up the canal, half a month before the spring plowing, flood ten acres of land, and then cultivate.

Don't worry about not having a good harvest!

Zhu Di saw that the remaining canal that had not been cleaned was less than three meters, so he worked harder.

It will be cleaned up today.

He plans to go back to Nanjing tomorrow.

He definitely couldn't marry Xu Miaoyun now, but he wanted to try and ask Xu Miaoyun if she was willing to wait for a year.

A big house was built at the end of the year.

It would definitely be no problem to hire another servant girl.

If Xu Miaoyun is willing, it would be best...

If you don't want to, he won't force it. It won't be sweet if you force it.

After all, the life of King Yan Zhu Di has ended.

Now he is Zhu Di, a common man.

Common people Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun have no fate, which is normal.

From the moment he decided to decline the vassal status, he was prepared for his destiny to change beyond recognition.

He will definitely meet the one who is most suitable for him.

Strive for is a positive attitude towards life.

After struggling and failing, taking it calmly is also an attitude towards life.

When facing life, you must have these two attitudes.

Of course, he may not be able to achieve the latter state yet.

"Oh, how could Shiro clean up such a long section of the canal in one day?" an exclamation rang out.

Zhu Di raised his head, looked at the women walking towards them, and greeted with a smile: "Fourth aunt, second aunt, eighth aunt..."

Several women are villagers of Tuqiao Village.

In the past few days, he has become familiar with the people in the village.

The other party didn't know his identity, so he also changed his name to Zhu Silang.

The fourth aunt, who had a stout figure, stopped with her head tilted, and joked: "Silang doesn't have a wife yet, does he? Do you want me to tell you that in these ten miles and eight villages, my aunt is famous as a matchmaker."

"His fourth aunt, you want to tell Shiro about your Chunni, right?" The second aunt joked with a smile, exposing the fourth aunt's little thoughts.

Zhu Silang was handsome and had ten acres of good paddy field.

Look at the thin skin and tender meat.

Get to work...

Good guy!

Even the elders in their family can't compare!

A single young man actually kept the small house clean, orderly and tidy.

If you marry a girl from that family, your life will never go wrong!

And there is no mother-in-law to make things difficult.

In more than ten days, everyone had a clear understanding of Zhu Silang.

All the families in the village who have girls of marriageable age are staring at Zhu Silang!

They all want to be the first to take action.

Otherwise, if word spreads, families in neighboring villages who have girls waiting to be married will also keep an eye on Zhu Silang.

The greater the competition, the smaller the chances of your daughter.

The fourth aunt glared angrily, "Her second aunt, didn't you catch Shiro's attention? Your orchid can't be carried on your shoulders and can't be lifted by your hands. Who wants it?"

"Our orchid is delicate and frail and is a perfect match for Shiro! Your Chunni looks like you, dark and strong. Would Shiro be attracted to her?"

Zhu Di took advantage of the quarrel between the two women and fled quickly.

The remaining three meters of canal are not dry either.

After running all the way, Zhu Di wiped his sweat in fear, and then smiled, "I didn't expect that I would be so popular one day."

He saw someone in front of him and slowed down.

To avoid being discovered and causing another fight.

Fortunately, the women in front of them were very engaged in talking and chatting, so they didn't notice Zhu Di.

"My men went to town and heard that the emperor demoted King Yan Zhu Di to a commoner and expelled him from the family tree."

"Hiss! Doesn't this mean that although the surname of King Yan will still be Zhu in the future, he will no longer be part of the royal Zhu family, and will not be able to enter the ancestral tomb after his death?"

"There is other news. I heard that His Majesty asked King Yan to farm."

"Zhu Silang? King Yan is also ranked fourth. Could Zhu Silang from our village be King Yan?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Zhu Silang is so capable, I even want to marry my daughter to him. King Yan is spoiled and pampered, how can he be such a capable Zhu Silang!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Capable Zhu Shiro!

This is a great evaluation for Zhu Di, a common man.

Of course, it would be even cuter if they didn't covet his body and didn't want to marry their daughters to him.

It's not that he disdains rural girls.

In his previous life, two generations back, his family was a mud-legged family.

It's just that his thinking is different from that of this era. If he finds another girl from the village, there will be no common words.

The only thing left to live was eating, sleeping and having children.

'Actually, Xu Miaoyun, who has the nickname of "Girls", is quite close to my thinking. ’

Zhu Di couldn't help but think of Xu Miaoyun again.

He fell in love with Xu Miaoyun, not just for her beauty.

He should……

Can be classified as a gentleman!

"Your Majesty said that if King Yan dares to return to Jinling City tomorrow and cling to the high branches of Wei Guogong, he will be beaten out by the soldiers guarding the city with sticks!"

"Your Majesty has chosen another good match for Miss Xu, and Miss Xu has agreed..."

…

The discussion that floated into his ears made Zhu Di's smile freeze for a moment...
