In Yong'an Palace, Zhu Yunxi also ate with the old man.
Guo Huifei cooked in person and cooked a large plate of young roosters for the two of them, as well as a pot of dried vegetables to stew pork belly. While the meat was stewing, she also put a circle of pancakes on it.
"Hi! Hoo!"
The pancakes are filled with the aroma of stewed meat from the inside to the outside, and the edges and corners are still stained with oily soup. The old man likes to eat hot food, and he doesn't use chopsticks. He just grabs one with his big hands and starts eating.
"Where did you go in the afternoon?" the old man asked while eating.
Zhu Yunxi slowly poured warm rice wine for the old man, "I went to Xu Huizu's house in the afternoon!" After saying that, he put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "It's the house you rewarded to the old Zhongshan King!"
The old man paused for a moment, then grinned and said, "Ha, we remember that Xu Tiande was so scared that he pissed his pants and had someone carry him to sleep in our old bedroom. The next day, he came to see us without even wearing any shoes.
Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and sighed for a while, "Hey, it happened decades ago, but now that I think about it, it still feels like yesterday, so damn fast!"
Seeing that the old man looked melancholy, Zhu Yunxi deliberately made him happy and said, "My grandson regrets not taking you with him this afternoon!"
"You kids are together, why are we going to mix it up?" the old man said, mouthing, "Push the stewed vegetables forward for us!"
"There's something new this afternoon!" Zhu Yunxi stood up and pushed the vegetables and said with a smile, "You haven't seen that the fourth girl of the Xu family, a female classmate, can actually shoot a ten-power bow and almost defeated Li Jinglong!"
"Oh?" The old man was quite surprised and said with a grin, "Shili? A girl's family is so well-behaved, that's amazing!" After thinking about it, he asked, "Then the girl isn't married yet?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't you personally take care of the marriages of the Xu family's children? They are all waiting for you to speak!"
The old man thought for a moment, "Oh!" He said, eating a piece of pancake, "We have met that girl before, she is quite a handsome girl!"
"You are handsome, but..." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "A woman who can shoot a ten-power bow may not be able to be subdued by ordinary people!"
~~
Unconsciously, it was night, and the old man was wearing thick clothes and rocking slowly on the rocking chair.
"Old man, I'm waiting for you to wash your feet!" Guo Huifei came in with a wooden basin in her own hands and squatted down in front of the old man, "Try the water!"
"Hiss!" The old man put his big foot in, let out a sigh of relief, and then asked, "You have seen the four girls of the Xu family, right?"
"We meet her several times every year during festivals and festivals!" Guo Huifei said with a smile, "She is a very good girl!" She said with a smile, "You have forgotten that when I was choosing a wife for the emperor in the early years, the concubine also said
I mentioned that girl. But she was still young at that time, her eyebrows didn't even grow, and she was a little behind in her seniority."
The old man has an impression on this matter.
The difference in age and seniority is actually an excuse. Choosing a wife for Zhu Yunxi is different from choosing a wife for Zhu Biao.
The Ming Dynasty is as stable as iron barrels. It may not be a good thing to find a wife with a strong mother clan for the future successor.
"Why did you remember this?" Guo Huifei smelled it, suddenly paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "Don't you want to...?"
"You are smarter than a monkey!" The old man said with a smile, "You can also enter the palace, it will also be a good marriage!"
Concubine Guo Hui immediately became energetic and said, "Tomorrow I will call the Xu family's daughter-in-law to come into the palace and try my words!"
While he was talking, he suddenly paused.
It turned out to be the old man's big hand, which unconsciously began to stroke her temples.
"You already have gray hair!" said the old man, "there are quite a few!"
"How old are you, my concubine?" Guo Huifei smiled and wiped the old man's feet, "You have to look after the person who is about to be buried, so of course he has white hair!"
The old man carefully hid the white hair with Concubine Guo Hui's black hair, "Don't go back tonight, sleep here with us!" He said with a smile, "When we move out of the palace and live in Zhuangzi in a few days, you will too
Follow!"
"It's all up to you!" Guo Huifei said with a smile.
The next second she was about to bend down to carry the tub, but she didn't want to be hugged from behind by the old man's big hand.
Guo Huifei slowly turned around and hugged the old man in her arms.
In the shadow of the lonely lamp and fire, the old couple cuddled up silently.
"We have been dreaming these days!" After a long time, the old man said in a low voice.
"Dreaming about eldest sister again?" Guo Huifei asked, combing the old man's hair.
"No!" The old man raised his head, looked into Guo Huifei's eyes, and suddenly smiled, "We always dream that we are dead!"
"Bah!" Guo Huifei said quickly, "Follow the wind and don't count!"
"Haha!" The old man grinned, "What nonsense? We are already this age, aren't we just waiting for one day!" As he said, he buried his head in Guo Huifei's arms again, "Hey, we know our own body, I guess.
It’s been a long time this year!”
Guo Huifei felt sad, her eyes were full of the old man's gray hair.
As the old man said, life moves too fast. The day I met this heroic brother-in-law for the first time seemed like just yesterday.
"Don't think blindly, live a good life, I will accompany you!" Guo Huifei said softly, "Let's live a long life and enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren!"
"Ha!" the old man said with a smile, "You are wrong about this. If a person lives too long, everything he sees will not be a blessing!"
~~
In Kunning Palace, Zhao Ning'er stared at Liu Jin who was writing big characters with a stern mother's face.
Zhu Yunxi came in directly from outside without being informed.
"My dear father, my dear father!" Liu Jin put down his pen happily, ran over and hugged Zhu Yunxi's legs affectionately.
"Still writing at this late hour?" Zhu Yunxi looked at the pen and ink on the table.
Zhao Ning'er also stood up and came over, "He was too playful in the afternoon, so he had to put off writing the big characters until the evening!"
Liu Jin lowered his head in annoyance and hugged Zhu Yunxi without letting go.
"Today's work is done today, this procrastination problem is not good!" Zhu Yunxi patted his son on the head, "If you procrastinate for a while, you will not procrastinate forever, it will only procrastinate more and more!"
"I have remembered it!" Liu Jin curled his lips, then looked at Zhu Yunxi and then Zhao Ning'er with his big eyes, "My father and mother have something to say, so I will leave first!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Ning'er to let him go, he threw off his calves and stepped out, led by the eunuch to his own bedroom.
"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Zhao Ning'er shouted for a while, and when she saw Liu Jin walking away happily, she shook her head helplessly.
"You brat!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and scolded, "You are quite discerning!"
Zhao Ning'er also smiled and said, "The emperor had dinner at the old man's place?"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "I have something to tell you. Deng Ping said there is a vacancy in the guard department, and I have ordered someone to fill it in for your brother Xiao Shitou!"
"He's still young...can he do it?" Zhao Ning'er suddenly felt happy and worried.
I am happy that my younger brother has a promising future, but I am worried that my brother is too young and will not be able to take on big responsibilities.
"Is this possible?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Being a guard in the palace does not mean that he will go out to lead troops. He is already a young adult in his teens. It is time for him to come out and practice!"
To be honest, Zhu Yunxi, the emperor, quite likes nepotism. But then again, who in this world is not nepotistic?
Besides, it was not without purpose that he allowed Xiao Shitou from the Zhao family to enter the palace. Zhao Sili, the Marquis of Chengen, was in charge of the internal defense of the capital. It was an expedient measure at the time. Now it was time to replace him. He replaced his father-in-law to give his brother-in-law some benefits.
, equal exchange?
"I will replace the little stone..."
"You and I are one husband and wife, so we are heretics!" Zhu Yunxi stood up with a smile.
"Is the emperor leaving?" Zhao Ning'er stepped forward.
"I was delayed in leaving the palace in the afternoon and haven't read a lot of things yet!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Today's work is done today and I have just finished teaching the children. I can't be procrastinating here too!"
As he said this, he turned around.
But the next second, he was grabbed by someone.
"It's okay to drag it occasionally!" Zhao Ning'er whispered in his ear, "You haven't touched it for a long time..."

The recent chapters were not well written, so I apologize to everyone.
Hey...I don’t know why, but I feel very upset. I feel annoyed by everything I look at. Am I suffering from mental illness?
