People feel sad in autumn and look forward to winter. When spring and summer come, people begin to enjoy the sunny weather.
The sky is as blue as jasper, and countless kites are floating in the gentle breeze and warm sunshine. There are big and small kites, but their shapes are completely different. There are lifelike swallows and animals with wind chimes, stretching out in the sky like flowers.
Fight for beauty.
On the ground, the adults holding the rope were smiling with joy, and the children stretched out their hands and chased after them with smiles.
Two carriages slowly drove out of the city gate of the capital. They seemed to be official carriages, each with two horses, and there were hundreds of elite cavalry guards beside the carriages.
Zhu Gaochi was in the first carriage, and once again carefully looked at the majestic capital city wall through the gap in the curtain. The gaze in his eyes was profound, and the expression on his face was filled with joy and a little sadness.
He didn't expect that the emperor's grandfather actually let them go back. To be precise, the emperor's grandson actually let them go back. But when it came to the end, he was not happy at all. Because he knew that the reason why they let them go back was because
I have a sure chance of winning, I just don't want to make my grandfather feel uncomfortable anymore.
They didn't take Yan Fan seriously at all.
"What will it be like next time?"
Zhu Gaochi sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"If father continues to persist in his obsession, he may come back to Beijing not in a carriage, but in a prison car!"
The carriage was driving slowly. In the second carriage, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui sat opposite each other with their arms folded.
"Boss, why don't you sit with us?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked.
Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes at him and said, "His big body can sit with us, can it be accommodated in this carriage?"
As he said that, Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, the boss is still the treacherous one! You see, pretending to be sick made the emperor's grandfather soften his heart and let us go back to Peking!"
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, and his face looked a little lonely, "It's a pity that I can't go hunting during this season. My father said that during spring and summer, everything grows, and only winter is suitable for hunting!"
"Second brother, you don't have anything else on your mind?" Zhu Gaosui said dissatisfied, "The boss has so many evil intentions. We must be careful in the future and don't let him scheme!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, "Let's go home first, everything else is a matter later!" He laughed, "When I get out of the capital, I will go outside and put on a fast horse. I haven't run a horse in many days!"
"You," Zhu Gaosui said angrily, gritting his teeth, "it's like a chicken talking to a duck!"
"Are you a chicken?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Zhu Gaosui was angry, "You are a duck!"
"Hehe!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly put his arms around the other party's shoulders and said with a bad smile, "Third brother, I found that since you came to the capital, you have been disrespectful to me, the second brother! Have you been itchy because I haven't beaten you in some days?
?”
Zhu Gaosui quickly smiled awkwardly, threw away the other person's arm, and sat aside in silence.
At this time, the vehicle frame in front suddenly stopped, as if someone had stopped them.
Zhu Gaoxu threw away the curtain, overjoyed, and shouted, "Uncle!"
The Duke of Wei's Xu family and his family stopped in front of their carriage. They must have come to see the three brothers off.
Xu Zengshou, the second master of the Xu family, saw Zhu Gaoxu and laughed and said, "Second boy, my uncle is here to see you off!"
Zhu Gaojiu cheered and jumped off the carriage. Zhu Gaosui followed closely behind, also with a smile on his face.
Compared to them, Zhu Gaochi is much calmer.
After getting off the carriage, he bowed respectfully to the Xu brothers and said, "Two uncles, please come here. My nephew is really sorry."
Seeing this nephew who was polite but deliberately kept a distance, Xu Huizu felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to come. He was a minister of the East Palace and had always been deliberately alienated from his brother-in-law, King Yan. But he and several nephews
They are also close relatives of flesh and blood, connected by blood.
"After you go home, study hard!" Xu Huizu thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he said, "Be filial to your mother. Well, you are a sensible child and you have some things to do."
"Brother!" Xu Zengshou said dissatisfiedly from the side, "When a family talks, you can't help but show your bad face? It's your nephew in front of you, not someone else?"
Xu Huizu smiled slightly awkwardly. He was really not good at words, let alone expressing his inner feelings.
"Nephew, remember, when you get home, write a letter to your uncle immediately to say you are safe!" Xu Zengshou looked at the three nephews, as if he couldn't get enough, "Don't be in a hurry on the way, rest when you are tired, don't rush on the road in the wind and rain. Pass.
It’s still cold outside the Yellow River, so be prepared with thick clothes, the wind is no joke!”
"Especially you, boss. Even though you are chubby, you are most frail. Have you brought any medicine for fever and headache? If you are away from home, don't think you are young and have to bear the burden of illness!"
Listening to his ramble, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of intimacy, and there was a bit of sadness in the intimacy.
"My uncle's instructions have been remembered by my nephew. My nephew is already an adult and I don't dare to worry about my parents any more!"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zengshou said, "You are my nephew no matter how old you are. In my eyes, you are also a child!" As he said that, the big man's eyes suddenly turned red. "Look, you three brothers have been in the capital for so long.
, I didn’t even go to the lively house. Your aunt talks about you every day. She told me several times that she asked me to go to the palace and invite you to come and eat dumplings at home, but "
Zhu Gaochi was full of sighs and could only comfort him, "Uncle, the days are long ahead!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were also a little sad. Each held his uncle's hand and did not let go for a long time.
"Look at me, I can't stop talking about it!" Xu Zengshou forced a smile, "According to your northern custom, you get on the car and get out of the sedan. My uncle has someone prepare it for you. Your aunt's hand bagged it!" He said, turning around.
Angrily, he shouted to his slave, "It's my nephew's dumplings!"
After waiting for a while, three bowls of steaming dumplings were served.
"While it's hot!" Xu Zengshou said with a smile, "Your aunt gets up before dawn to chop the stuffing, which is made from mutton and green onions."
For some reason, Zhu Gaochi had tears in his eyes. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui cried so hard that they burst into tears. At this moment, the long-standing grievances they had accumulated in their hearts were finally released in front of their closest relatives.
"Don't cry, eat while it's hot!" Xu Zengshou also touched his face, "I cried in front of my uncle, but I can't cry when I get home. We are all men, so it's okay to feel a little wronged. This is the life of a person.
, there is no such thing as smooth sailing, and there is no such thing as everything goes as planned!”
The three brothers ate the dumplings with tears in their eyes.
Here, Xu Zengshou directed his servants to move things into the car.
"These are some specialties, take them back and try them!" Xu Zengshou said with a smile.
"Second uncle, I have had enough of these things in the capital these days!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"You've eaten enough, where are your parents!" Xu Zengshou patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder affectionately, "Your mother used to love the sweet-scented osmanthus and pine nut candies from Beijing, as well as air-dried chicken, salted duck, and bacon from Peking.
Not available. Take it back and give it to your parents to try!"
"It's getting late!" After eating the dumplings, Zhu Gaochi saluted, "Uncles, please come back. The nephews are on their way too!"
"Take care along the way!" Xu Huizu said.
Xu Zengshou looked away and said, "Slow down on the road!"
Zhu Gaochi and his two brothers were about to get into the car. When they turned around, they suddenly turned around again.
Under the surprised looks of the Xu brothers, Zhu Gaochi pulled the two brothers to kneel down with difficulty.
"No way!" Xu Huizu exclaimed. Although the other party was his nephew, he was also the emperor's grandson. He called his nephew close to him, but if the emperor's grandson saluted them, they would never dare to accept it.
"My uncles have been feeling uncomfortable in the capital this year!" Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said, "Today, my nephew kowtows to my two uncles to thank them for their kindness!"
~~~
The carriage has gone far away, but the Xu brothers still stand and watch.
Seeing that the shadow had disappeared and could no longer be seen, Xu Huizu said, "Second brother, let's go, go back!"
Xu Zengshou hummed, but did not move, "I'll take a look again!"
After pondering for a moment, Xu Huizu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I know you are a person who values friendship and family ties. But you and I are ministers first and then elders. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we cannot distinguish between public and private affairs. You are like this,
Sometimes it may not be good for them, but it is "
"Again, you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but I can't bear to let go of my nephew, so you are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic?" Xu Zengshou said dissatisfied, "You don't get close to your nephew, but you don't want me to get close to you? We are their uncles!"
As he said that, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, I know what you mean. You are the ministers of the East Palace, and they are the sons of the vassal prince. You have your concerns, but I have no official position, so I'm afraid
What's more? They are the only two uncles in this world, you and me. You can be ruthless, but I can't!"
Xu Huizu angrily scolded, "There are some things that you don't know!"
"I know, I know it well!" Xu Zengshou looked into his brother's eyes, unwilling to be outdone, "Sometimes, I really envy the two brothers of the Chang family. They will do anything for their nephews, and that's what it takes to be an uncle.
Look!"
"Don't be stubborn!" Xu Huizu shouted.
"Humph!" Xu Zengming sneered, "I'm stubborn. I have no power, no power, and no soldiers, so how can I be stubborn! But you, the eldest brother, who is in a high position, are so afraid of being implicated that you don't even care about family ties!" said
When he was done, he stopped talking, hit his horse and left.
"Hey!" Xu Huizu sighed.
