The smart kid that Zhu Biao mentioned had been having a headache lately.
He seemed to have been targeted by his father again.
Several times when he was eating with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Su found that his father was secretly looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Father, why are you looking at me like that? I haven't caused any trouble recently." Zhu Su raised his bowl and let his mother, Empress Ma, pour him some Crucian Carp soup while looking at Zhu Yuanzhang curiously.
Old Man Jie didn't seem like a good person recently.
" Cough." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks and turned to look at his wife. However, Empress Ma did not even look at him.
"I was thinking that you haven't been out of the palace recently. It doesn't seem like your usual personality. Father isn't afraid that you will cause some small trouble every now and then, but Father is afraid that you will suddenly cause a big trouble for Father?”Zhu Yuanzhang teased.
"What else is there? Teasing a girl?" Zhu Su raised his eyebrows and then raised his head proudly.""Whose daughter can have such good fortune?”
"Sigh, you!" Empress Ma gently pointed at Zhu Su's forehead with her finger and said,""Don't learn from your good-for-nothing second brother.”As she spoke, Empress Ma turned to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to put down his bowl and chopsticks and slip away, and said,"Chongba, you have to issue a decree to warn Second Brother about this matter.”The King of Qin, Zhu Wei, committed all kinds of crimes in Xi'an. He molested the women of the common people, rode his horse to be a hero, killed the servants of the King of Qin's Mansion at will, and even favored the secondary concubine Deng and treated the main concubine Guanyin Nu poorly. These things really hurt Empress Ma's heart.”
"Mother, I was just casually saying. When have I ever done something as bad as second brother?”Zhu Su picked up a quail egg for Empress Ma. He had already told Zhu Biao in private to send a letter to his boorish second brother to restrain his words and actions.
But now, it seemed that Zhu Xiong had completely ignored Zhu Biao's words because he was far away.
After all, Zhu Biao was just an elder brother to Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi. The age gap between them was not big, unlike Zhu Di, Zhu Su, and the other brothers who treated Zhu Biao like a father.
After all, except for Zhu Su, none of the other brothers could speak loudly in front of Senior Zhu.
"It's time for us to take care of this bastard. We originally wanted him and Third Brother to be good examples for our younger brothers. Third Brother was still fine. He did his best to govern the fief and performed well.”Zhu Yuanzhang laughed coldly.
Zhu Su blinked his eyes and suddenly felt that the soup in his bowl was no longer fragrant. He decided to make things difficult for his bastard second brother."It seems like Second Brother has made Imperial Father sad.”
Empress Ma glared at Zhu Su.""No matter how much of a bastard your big brother is, you shouldn't be the one to say it. Silly boy, get out of the palace after dinner and go to the Xu family to apologize.”
"If the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will be implicated!”Zhu Su shook his head and started to eat.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma couldn't help but smile at his joke. Immediately after, Celestial Emperor and Empress looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Their children were all debts from their previous lives.
After the meal, Zhu Su, who was unwilling to take a nap, took a fishing rod in the imperial garden and finished the koi in the pond. When the sun was no longer so dazzling, he brought his mother's personal maid, Yu 'er, to the residence of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, with gifts and paid a visit.
Xu Da's wife, Madam Xie, came out to welcome him with a smile on her face.
"Little Wu, it's been a long time since you last visited auntie. Recently, auntie has heard that His Highness Wu Wang punished the silkpants and avenged the people. He is truly a young hero. These words almost caused calluses to form in her aunt's ears.”Madam Xie held Zhu Su's hand, and Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, and Xu Miaojin followed them to the front hall.
"Hey, Auntie, don't listen to other people's flattery. I just have a stubborn temper. I can't stand seeing that person being more arrogant than me. You don't know, but this time, not only did my father kill me, he didn't even give me a chance to escape and blocked the door in advance…"
Zhu Su was an honest child, which could be seen from the fact that he was not afraid of exposing his scandals.
Of course, in layman's terms, his face was thicker than the city wall.
Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, and Xu Miaojin followed behind their mother and Zhu Su. When they heard Zhu Su talk about his embarrassing story shamelessly, they couldn't help but smile secretly.
More importantly, this guy seemed to be proud of him and kept adding fuel to the fire. When he finally said "my father, Zhu Yuanzhang", his tone was rhythmic, as if he was talking about storytelling.
Mrs. Xie was amused by Zhu Su. She didn't expect Zhu Su to be such a wonderful person.
In contrast to Xu Da's worried expression, in Madam Xie's eyes, the cold and aloof Miao Yun was a perfect match for such a lively husband.
At least he wouldn't feel bored during normal days.
"By the way, Aunt Xie, where's Sister Miao Yun?”Zhu Su was led to the hall by Madam Xie. After drinking tea, he suddenly asked casually.
"Miao Yun, she should be studying at the directorate at this hour. She won't be back until evening. Speaking of which, his aunt was angry. Why did you say that she was a girl? Why did she study so many books? I want to lock her up at home and let her learn needlework so that she won't be despised by her husband's family when she marries someone in the future.”Madam Xie sounded a little helpless. Miao Yun's two brothers, Xu Zengshou and Xu Huizu, were also studying in the Imperial College, but they were not cut out for studying at all. They ran away after they left school. However, Xu Miaoyun was different. She seemed to be born with a love for reading. She often stayed in the Imperial College after school and borrowed the books in Chongwen Pavilion to read.
Hearing Madam Xie's words, Zhu Su did not cater to the elders as he usually did.
Zhu Su, who was sitting in the lower seat, turned slightly in his seat. He looked at Madam Xie sincerely and retorted,""Auntie, I don't think there's anything wrong with a girl studying. The process of reading was the process of opening up the world in one's heart. This was a very wonderful experience, and it was often not enough to tell outsiders. Sister Miao Yun liked to read, which meant that in the process of reading, there were naturally places where she felt happy. No one should interfere. As her mother, her aunt should support her. As for you saying that you want her to learn needlework, it's a bit of a waste of time.
In this world, there were tens of thousands of women who excelled in needlework, but how many were as talented as Sister Miao Yun?”When Zhu Su finished his words, not only Madam Xie, but also Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, and Xu Miaojin who had been fiddling with the purse on her waist all changed their eyes when they looked at Zhu Su.
There was no other reason. A young girl with a beautiful face and a pure temperament was standing outside the door with a book of " Shuyu Ci " in her hand. She looked at Zhu Su, who was arguing with his elders for her. A strange emotion was slowly flowing in her eyes.
Even the youngest Xu Miaojin felt that her sister looked very different today.
Her gaze only landed on the youth occasionally, but even if it was only for a very short moment, in the eyes of others, she was already in high spirits.
Even the young Xu Miaojin couldn't help but exclaim,"For a young and beautiful woman like my sister, when she first fell in love, even just a glance from her eyes could make people notice what a peerless beauty was."
I'm a person who listens to advice. Sigh, the world is big, and the readers have the greatest needs! I never thought of giving a girl to her, but I didn't plan to write a love scene so early. However, there was nothing he could do. After all, a reader had suggested it in the comments. It made me feel that if the main character's emotional scenes were to be delayed, there might be misunderstandings among the readers, so I'll just accept it!
Sigh, speaking of which, emotional scenes were really torturous! I don't know how to write! Therefore, readers, please make do with it…
