The wooden basin in the house was already steaming, and there were still water stains on the floor tiles below.
Zhu Gaochi was wearing clothes and sitting across from Zhu Gaoxu with big eyes and small eyes. The third child, Zhu Gaosui, was holding a handful of melon seeds, eating them and looking left and right.
After a long time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but coughed twice, "Why do you have to say it in such a hurry? Can't you wait a while?"
"Waiting for you to finish?" Zhu Gaosui said with a smile, "Then do you still have the energy to get up from the bed?"
Zhu Gaochi was furious, "Lao San, are you looking for a fight?"
"I..." Zhu Gaosui quickly leaned to the side, "Second brother, please say something!"
Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "My mother told me before we left that we would listen to you, boss, when we arrived in the capital as before. We entered the city in the morning. I guess it didn't take much effort for others to know that we were coming."
"Those who were told by dad before coming here that they should move around, should they move around quickly?"
"It's up to you, boss, to decide which gift to give to which one. If we brothers don't ask you, who will we ask?"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became angry, "Besides, who knew you would do this so early in the morning, as soon as the sun rose?"
"The day's plan lies in the morning!" Zhu Gaosui, the third child, said with a bad smile.
"Stop talking sarcastically!" Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes at Lao San and said angrily, "As if you haven't...Hey, why am I telling you this."
As he said that, he thought for a while and said, "The first thing I want to send to is my uncle's house. Although he is not close to us, he is still an uncle, so we can't neglect him. My uncle is in Yunnan, and our three brothers have to deliver the gifts to his family in person.
When I arrive, not only do I have to see him off, my aunt and cousin also want to pay me a visit."
"Well, there is also Cao Guogong's Li family..."
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly frowned, "Send it to his home?"
"They are all relatives!" Zhu Gaochi said displeasedly, "When my father was studying in Wenhua Hall, he got along very well with Cao Guogong!"
"Tsk, tsk, they may not be willing to accept gifts from us!" Zhu Gaosui continued.
"If you love to accept it or not, if you don't hit the smiling person with your hand, he, Duke Cao Guo, will throw our gifts away?" Zhu Gaochi said, "Besides, they are all worthless specialties, even if they are walking among relatives, he, Duke Cao Guo, also understands in his heart."
As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and said, "Who else is here?"
"Ask me?" Zhu Gaosui pointed to himself, then spat out a mouthful of melon seed peels, "You are the eldest son, you did all these things, how can I remember clearly?"
"Our family is in the capital and we don't have any close relatives!" Zhu Gaoxu sighed.
Yes, when King Yan was in Beijing, there might have been people who were willing to get close to him before, but now.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi was thankful in his heart, "Fortunately, dad has figured it out, otherwise it would be a dark road. But there are only four of us in the battle, and there is no foreign aid at all!"
"That's right!" Zhu Gaochi thought of someone, "We also want to go to the Queen's natal family!"
The two brothers were surprised, "What's so easy to walk around in their house? I don't even know where the door to his house opens?"
"Don't you know it when you go?" Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes at the two brothers again, "This is what mother ordered, how dare you two not go?"
The two brothers didn't speak and looked at each other.
"Hey, why do I feel that our family is not like the vassal princes, but like poor relatives who came to Beijing to enjoy the autumn wind!" Zhu Gaosui sneered.
Zhu Gaoxu was thoughtful, "Boss, we are in Beijing to celebrate the old man's birthday. What do you think of the family visiting the west? Don't...?"
"Hey, you finally know how to use your brain!" Zhu Gaochi smiled and said before the other party got angry, "Don't worry, the more our family moves around now, the more relieved the palace man is. If no one comes and goes, the palace man will
The person inside will feel that something is wrong."
Zhu Gaoxu became more and more confused and frowned.
"In the past, we didn't have any contact with each other. Dad was trying to avoid suspicion. Now it's clear that even if Dad has some connections, it's all on the surface. Who wouldn't care?" Zhu Gaochi smiled.
Immediately, he stood up and said, "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. You two should go back and rest. We're going to the palace in the afternoon!"
Zhu Gaoxu stood up and strode outside.
Zhu Gaosui, on the other hand, was sitting there eating melon seeds, "I can't sleep!" He said in a strange tone, "How can I sleep when my body is sticky? But no one is wiping my back, so I can't let my second brother rub it for me, right?"
Zhu Gaochi was sitting, and the fat on his fat face suddenly trembled, and he shouted loudly, "Get out!"
"You scolded..."
"roll!"
"Second brother, he scolded me!"
Zhu Gaoxu, who walked to the door, turned around and said, "Third brother, let's go. If you get angry, you can't beat him!"
Zhu Gaosui thought about it and stood up and slipped to the wall. He reached Zhu Gaoxu's side in a few steps. He turned around and said quickly, "I'll tell my sister-in-law when I get back!" After that, he swooped out.
"you......."
Zhu Gaochi picked up the teapot and then put it down while holding back his anger.
"What if I just wash it?" he shouted loudly, "If you want to complain, I'll wash it!" Then he shouted to the door again, "Let those two girls come in and take care of you!"
Then, he took off his clothes in a few moments and plopped down into the tub.
The next second he stood up again, trembling and said, "Grandma, I'm so cold!"

Just after the court meeting ended, Zhu Yunxi returned to Lezhizhai from Fengtian Palace. As soon as he changed into his regular clothes, he heard that the bastard came to report his disgrace and Cao Guogong Li Jinglong asked to see him.
"Let him come in!" Zhu Yunxi sat down on the throne.
Later, Li Jinglong came in and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, come to see the Emperor!"
He was still wearing a python robe, and his appearance was meticulous. The long beard on his chin was carefully combed, and the length was the same size.
"I have something for you." Zhu Yunxi opened a brochure and said while reading it.
"Long live your orders."
"In a few days, before the New Year, I will take the old man back to my hometown of Fengyang!" Zhu Yunxi said, "You will be responsible for the specific matters."
When Li Jinglong heard this, he was ecstatic.
I thought to myself, "This is a great thing to show your face. I am responsible for the emperor and the emperor's imperial guard when traveling. Isn't this one more official position for me?"
Then he said sternly, "Long live my lord, don't worry, I will handle it well." He said with a smile, "When the Emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to his hometown, it was recorded in the history books. This time, I will definitely handle it even more gloriously than the Han Dynasty. All the guards are wearing uniforms."
Jinyi..."
"Privately!" Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, "Don't show off, pretend to be an ordinary member of staff returning home, just have a few carriages and dozens of escorts!"
"Private visit incognito?" Li Jinglong was startled, and then immediately became anxious.
"This is not easy to handle. If we go back in a big way, the local affairs will be covered up and no one will know. But if it is a private visit incognito, what will the old man know? Oh my god, why won't there be a lot of heads?"
It is said that Fengyang has countless military nobles besides the founding emperor, but for the people, this kind of honor has nothing to do with them. On the contrary, because there are too many nobles, powerful slaves are rampant...
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, "Be careful!"
Li Jinglong immediately smiled and said, "I don't have any small thoughts. What I'm thinking about is how to let the old man and the emperor travel comfortably!"
At the same time, he said in his heart, "The emperor's words have come out, and the matter of spreading the news is definitely not possible. Forget it, dead Taoist friends are not dead Taoists, why should I worry about it!"
"In addition, I heard something!" Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial and looked solemn, "How come I heard that you haven't visited your grandparents' tombs in several years?"
"I..." Li Jinglong said immediately, "As a minister, I cannot leave the capital without permission. In the past few years, I have been worshiping at my family temple..."
"Stop looking for excuses with me!" Zhu Yunxi scolded, "Worshiping ancestors' graves is a great human gift. If you don't worship your ancestors' graves, your personal ethics will be bad!"
"The emperor taught me that I should be punished by death!" Li Jinglong kowtowed.
Zhu Yunxi looked at him and continued, "The old man's birthday is coming soon, so I will leave the celebration to you."
Li Jinglong's mood was like riding a roller coaster, sometimes surprised and sometimes frightened.
"I obey the decree!"
