Zhu Huai returned to his home in the small courtyard by Qinhuai River and instructed Ma Sanbao,""Go hire some people to move some things to the new house.”
After Ma Sanbao left, Zhu Huai began to ponder.
Lan Yu was the Duke of Great Ming Liang and the Great General of Breaking the Krupp. Why would he be friendly to him for no reason?
Could it be that Lan Yu was really moved because he saved a few refugees?
Zhu Huai shook his head. This was impossible!
A person like Lan Yu, whose hands were stained with god knows how much blood, had long disregarded life.
He was a general, not a civil official. He wouldn't admire him just because he saved the refugees.
There were so many good people in the world, but how many of them could be admired by people of this level?
Could it be that he was greedy for his salt profits?
This was even more impossible.
Huang Zicheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, could easily seize his salt mountain, let alone Lan Yu.
Zhu Huai rubbed his head. He really couldn't think of any reason to be so close to Lan Yu.
Zhu Huai looked up at the sky. Summer was coming to an end, and the autumn wind was gradually blowing.
It had been a while since he had seen the old yellow head, and he did not know what he was doing.
Usually, the old man would come and chat with him every few days, and Zhu Huai was already used to it.
It had been six or seven days, but there was still no sign of Old Yellow.
Zhu Huai missed Old Yellow Head after not seeing him for such a long time.
At some point, Zhu Huai seemed to have gotten used to having such an old man by his side so that he wouldn't feel too lonely.
However, on second thought, the old man had his own grandson, and he was even close to him. No matter how good his relationship with the old man was, he could not win against the relationship between his grandfather and grandson.
The old man was already so old, and he had to send his son off. It was best if nothing happened to him.
Oh no!
Did something happen?
"Child, what are you thinking about?"
"We've been here for a long time, but you didn't notice?”
Zhu Huai raised his head in shock and stared blankly at Zhu Yuanzhang. Only then did he come to his senses and was immediately delighted."Old Yellow Head, you're here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Huai curiously. Seeing the deep worry in his eyes, he stared at Zhu Huai with a faint smile.
"Why do you look so anxious and worried?”
Zhu Huai scratched his head in embarrassment."What? Oh, I was worried about you. It's been a long time since I saw you. I thought something had happened to you. You're already so old. If something really happened to you, I…I wouldn't be able to find you. I wouldn't even be able to take care of you…"
Zhu Huai did not continue.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned." Are you worried about us? Are you afraid that something will happen to an old man like me?"
Yes, it had been a long time since he last came here.
The last time he saw Zhu Yunwen like that, Zhu Yuanzhang felt guilty, so he went to the Eastern Palace a few times in the past few days, so he rarely had time to come out.
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Huai's worried and concerned eyes. His eyes were a little sore as he said emotionally,"We're fine, very well. There were many things to do in the palace, so we didn't come.”
Zhu Huai nodded. He then thought of something and quickly put on a smile.
"By the way, Old Yellow Head, I bought a new house. The house is very big. It's enough for both of us to live in and can also support a group of servants.”
"When you want to move out, come to my place.”
"You're the first person I thought of sharing this good news with!”
Looking at Zhu Huai's smug expression, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more upset.
Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed and laughed,"Good, good. It's time to change the residence. What about this residence? Sold?"
Zhu Huai shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled." How can you live in two houses alone?" Isn't this too extravagant?"
Zhu Huai smiled." This house has an extraordinary meaning to me. It's also the place where we got to know each other. We have feelings for each other, so I can't bear to part with it."”
Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips and said with a hint of tenderness in his eyes,"Alright, then I won't sell it! Keep it! It's up to you!"
Zhu Huai seemed to recall something and scratched his head in embarrassment. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang,""Old Yellow Head, I'm sorry about last time. I didn't know you had a grandson. I ordered your grandson around.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled." Child, you still remember this?" Are you saying that he isn't normal? What did he dare to be angry about? You're his big brother! It's only right for a big brother to order his brothers around!"
Zhu Huai naturally knew that this yellow-haired old man was probably treating him as his own grandson. In that case, his grandson was naturally his brother.
Thinking of this, Zhu Huai also felt relieved.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed." Speaking of that grandson, sigh, I don't want to see him."”
"Why?" Zhu Huai didn't understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered," Our son has been dead for a while now, and our grandson is still hanging on the corner of his mouth from time to time. Isn't this making things difficult for us?"”
Zhu Huai said seriously," Old Yellow Head, that's not right. Your grandson has lost his father. He has lost someone to rely on. Isn't it normal for him to miss his father?"”
Hearing Zhu Huai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly grinned." Good child, you are kind-hearted and know how to be modest. This is the moral character of a gentleman. I will remember it."”
"But aren't you afraid that we'll stay with him for too long and stop coming to your place?”
Zhu Huai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled."You, as long as you find someone to tell me that you're safe every three to five days, I can't be bothered with you.”
"Little brat!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded.
He looked at Zhu Huai. No matter how he looked at him, he was satisfied.
This child had inherited almost all of Zhu Biao's virtues. He was gentle and modest to his brothers, filial to his elders, and loved them. However, this kid had a strong personality and never revealed his feelings.
However, this was a good thing. After becoming the emperor, how could he reveal any feelings to the outside world?
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was the monarch and father of the people. He was the monarch first and only the father. Therefore, he could not casually show his feelings. Even when Zhu Biao was buried, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was calm and he never revealed his fragile side to the outside world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to test Zhu Huai."Child, I've submitted the memorial you gave me last time regarding the flood-control of the Xin 'an River.”
"If, let's say if." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands and said with a burning gaze," If you were the emperor, what would you do? Those ministers won't listen to you. What should we do?”
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's test.
However, Zhu Huai never took the old yellow-haired man's words as a test. He smiled and said,""If I were the emperor…"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Huai, waiting for his answer.
