To a certain extent, the reason why Zhu Su and Li Jinglong could become friends was because their attitudes towards life were the same in many ways.
For example, how to choose the bottom line of parents 'tolerance.
He jumped left and right, swaying repeatedly as he tried to test the waters.
The main point was to be impudent.
However, Zhu Su had his elder brother and sister-in-law to protect him. Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong…Li Jinglong was waiting to be slapped by his father when he got home.
Even though the summer ended late, the handsome young man Li Jinglong was still beaten by State Duke Cao to the point of making cicadas cry.
It was said that it was the kind of cry that was full of emotions and full of sorrow.
The next day, as expected, Li Jinglong was once again bedridden due to severe injuries.
On the other hand, Zhu Su, who had also caused trouble, was peeling eggs for Empress Ma as if nothing had happened.
"Mother, don't be angry. Son did this because he had no choice.
You also know that those Huaixi dignitaries are drunk. If I don't embarrass myself with them, I probably won't be able to go back in one piece after Li Jinglong has finished speaking and boasting.
" Besides, I was drunk at that time, and I was in the right mood…" Zhu Su couldn't lie anymore, so he put the peeled egg in Empress Ma's hand.
Zhu Su smiled humbly.
Empress Ma recalled his expression at that time and could not help but tease,"So you came to imitate me?”
"Yes, yes, yes. Li Jinglong is filial to me." Zhu Su didn't have much appetite. After having a few mouthfuls of porridge, he stopped eating when he saw his eldest nephew Zhu Xiongying being carried by the nanny. He stood up and came to his nephew's side, shaking his head and making funny faces. Soon, his nephew burst out laughing.
Empress Ma could only shake her head when she saw him like this.
Zhu Biao had already told her and Zhu Yuanzhang last night that the silver notes that Zhu Su had given him were just pocket money prepared in advance for his eldest nephew. Even Zhu Yuanzhang could not find a reason for this.
"Xiong Ying, come, call me Fifth Uncle five times. Fifth Uncle." Zhu Su tried to get Zhu Xiong Ying to call for help.
"Ha ~ ah ~" Zhu Xiongying was amused by Zhu Su, and then he suddenly said,""Hey."
"You brat." Zhu Su's face darkened after being taken advantage of."After receiving Fifth Uncle's pocket money, I don't even know how to call him Fifth Uncle. How can there be such a good thing? Quick, call me Fifth Uncle, Fifth ~ Uncle ~"
"Hey." The smile on Zhu Xiongying's face became even brighter. He kept waving his limbs to express his happiness.
" Sigh, I'm afraid that this child won't be like my elder brother in the future. Instead, he'll be like me…" Zhu Su put Zhu Xiong Ying on Empress Ma who had just finished her breakfast, his face full of worry.
"You, you still know that it's not a good thing for you?”Empress Ma glared at Zhu Su and lowered her head to coax her grandson.
Not wanting to disturb his mother's family happiness, Zhu Su quickly left the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's Fengtian Hall.
Outside the royal study, Zhu Su still hadn't thought of how to explain to his brother and sister. He stood at the door and thought about how to phrase it later, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.
"Brat, get in here!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was still full of energy, but according to Zhu Su's judgment, he should be in a good mood now.
"Father, you're amazing! Your son hasn't even come in, and you already know it's me!”Zhu Su smiled obsequiously and came behind Zhu Yuanzhang with a humble attitude. He started to rub his shoulders and knock his back to please him.
He glanced at the corner opposite him and saw the supreme grade gyrfalcon standing on a rack, preening its feathers.
Zhu Su raised his eyebrows." Father, this is a gift from your son. I'm taking advantage of your good intentions."”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He shook his shoulders and gestured for Zhu Su to stop. He pointed at the porcelain bottle in front of him and said,"Did you make this thing?"
"Ah, hahaha…yes." Zhu Su laughed.
"How long can it be preserved?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.
"About five or six months, but you can't use it when the temperature is too low.”Zhu Su raised his head and thought carefully. He gave a conservative estimate and suggested that the temperature should be taken into consideration.
If he wanted to extract the powdered garlic now, he would obviously need a lot of time to figure it out.
As for artesunate, Zhu Su had already told Xu Da in advance that it was specially used to treat miasma (also known as malaria).
Moreover, the effect of the yellow wormwood to treat the miasma was better the closer to the south. It only needed to be picked during the flowering period, then dried and stored. When it was used, it would be taken out and ground into powder. It would be soaked in cooled water for a few hours before taking it. The effect was amazing.
Xu Da had probably already reported this to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't ask.
"Yes, I know. Later, you should get more of this stuff. Father will need it next spring.”Zhu Yuanzhang did not mention the specific refining method of Zhu Su. In his opinion, Zhu Su probably had the same idea as him. This thing was made by Zhu Su. Zhu Su did not take the initiative to mention it because he was afraid that the method would be leaked.
Although garlic was a rare thing in the grasslands, who said that these barbarians wanted to produce it themselves?
If it fell into someone's hands, it would be another way to make money.
He was too lazy to ask.
Since he needed it, how could Zhu Su hide it?
The father and son had a tacit understanding of this.
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at his absent-minded son and teased,"What? Your Highness Wu Wang, who holds the sun, moon, and stars in his hands, also has something on his mind?”
" Erm, about that…" Zhu Su stammered and finally gritted his teeth and said,""Father, why don't you ask me how I knew that Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang might be in danger?”
"You and mother didn't seem to care about this matter with me?" Zhu Su paused.
Could it be that I've fallen out of favor just like that?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Su's last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh. He finally understood why Li Jinglong and Zhu Su could get along.
"You are even more thick-skinned than the city walls.”Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly. He looked at his son who was standing beside the dragon throne with a straight posture and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
"Father asked you to explain. How are you going to explain? I know that you must have found out about Chang Yuchun's trouble in advance and realized it all of a sudden.
That's why you left in such a hurry.
Su 'er, father had lived for most of his life, and had lived an extremely wonderful life.
He had seen many people and encountered many things, so he understood a few simple truths.
For example, don't look at what a person says, look at what he does.
How could Father not know what you did?
Therefore, I don't really care about whatever excuses you make up now. I'll believe whatever you say.
In the future, as long as you're still the troublesome Zhu Xiaowu, your father will be the same as he is now. He will beat you up when he needs to and pretend to be stupid when he needs to.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Su, who had become silent, with a complicated gaze. His words today were encouragement, consolation, and a warning.
Xiaowu was indeed outstanding, but…
"Then, Father, you won't be thinking about the silver in your son's hands, right?”Zhu Su finally mustered up his courage and asked the question from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's stunned expression, Zhu Su had a look of " I knew it ".
"You're not being kind. I knew you knew that I gave Xiong Ying pocket money, but he's my eldest nephew. It's only right for me to give him pocket money. But you…" Zhu Su wanted to say something but hesitated. His big eyes that could speak were full of vigor as he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang."Father, do I look like your fifth uncle?”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything. He locked his gaze on his unfilial son and slowly bent down. When he was reading memorials, he liked to take off his shoes to work.
Zhu Su once again sensed that danger was approaching!
Zhu Su clasped his hands together. He did not even dare to bow. He slowly faced Emperor Hongwu, whose eyes were burning with anger and whose face was covered in dark clouds. Some people were already trembling.
"Father, father, father, listen to me…Father, put down the things first! Greetings, Father! Your son will take his leave!" Seeing his father pouncing on him like a fierce tiger, Zhu Su immediately fled.
