"Come here, help us spread these radish leaves and prunes and put them in the sun!"
In the open space next to Yong'an Palace, the old man wearing a straw hat and bending down to work in the sun saw Zhu Yunxi and said directly, "If the dragon robe is taken off, it is not the clothes for working!"
"Grandpa Huang, don't be tired!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, and with Pu Bucheng's service, he took off his dragon robe, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted next to the old man.
A bamboo curtain was placed on the open space, and on the curtain were dried vegetables that still had a bit of water vapor, and they were still a little moist after grabbing a handful.
Zhu Yunxi carefully turned over the radish leaves and spread them out, and continued to smile, "You have a bad waist, so you can't squat all the time!"
"You can't be idle! I've never heard of anyone dying of exhaustion from work!" The old man lowered his head and carefully laid out the dried vegetables in his hands, with a focused expression and soft eyes.
"When we were young, life was still relatively good. You always prepared these dried vegetables early in the morning, and when winter was approaching the Chinese New Year, you took them out to stew or mix them with noodles. They were delicious!
"
As he spoke, the old man suddenly sighed, "It was the same when your grandmother was alive. The ones we posted were just not as good as theirs!"
Then, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Yunxi, who directly scattered the dried vegetables into a pile, then grabbed them away with his hands, and said angrily, "What are you doing? It's so rough! This is a delicate job, you have to shake it apart before drying it!"
After saying that, he said angrily, "Gungun, I can't count on you for anything!"
At this moment, Jin swung his short legs and flew from a distance.
"Ancestor, Ancestor!"
The old man raised his head with a smile on his face, "Hey, our heart is here!"
As he said that, he opened his arms and hugged Jin who was flying towards him.
"Why are you running on such a hot day? Your head is covered in sweat!"
Jin grinned and immediately saluted Zhu Yunxi, "I have met my father!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded sternly like a father, "Have you done your homework today?"
"Go back to my father! I wrote twenty characters and read three books!" Jin whispered.
"Don't slack off!" Zhu Yunxi warned.
"What are you doing?" The old man was dissatisfied again and glared at Zhu Yunxi, "My baby is sweating. You didn't ask someone to bring you water and you taught me a lesson? Don't do it in front of us!" He said, turning around.
To Jin, he smiled again, "As long as we are here, you don't have to be afraid of him!"
Jin chuckled twice and looked at the dried vegetables on the ground curiously, "Ancestor, what is this?"
"This is dried vegetables!" The old man said with a smile, "Do you know what dried vegetables are for?"
Jin tilted his head and thought about it, "Well, are they feeding the animals? The bachelor who taught said that people eat grain, and the animals eat hay and leaves..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Yunxi was furious.
"Shut up!" The old man glanced at him, looked at the jin, and suddenly smiled, "My dear grandson is right, isn't this what rich people use to feed their animals?" As he said that, he suddenly took a handful under the jin.
, "Give me a chicken for my ancestor!"
"Hahaha!!" Jin escaped with a smile.
"Go, take our dear grandson to a cool place to sweat!" the old man ordered Pu Bucheng with a smile.
Smiling as Jin walked away, the old man's smile disappeared and he glanced back at Zhu Yunxi, "What are you going to do about that matter?"
"The old man knew it so soon?"
Zhu Yunxi thought that the old man was talking about the case that happened in place Z, and said sternly, "Kill if you should, no mercy!"
Unexpectedly, the old man smiled and cursed, "You want to kill your own uncle? We are still alive! You want to kill him?"
"Are you talking about Fourth Uncle?" Zhu Yunxi reacted and smiled, "My grandson thought you were talking about the case in Z?"
"We know that matter, you can just handle it yourself!" The old man said with a smile, "We are all down here. Those military and national affairs, if you can't say anything about it, don't ask about it. As the emperor, we can just use it as decoration. If we continue to point fingers, then
Your Majesty, what do you think you are?"
Zhu Yunxi helped the old man sit down in the shade, "When my fourth uncle came to Beijing, everything should be done according to the national etiquette. You should give banquets, give banquets, and reward what should be rewarded!" After saying that, he paused and said with a smile, "Of course, the beating should be done.
Even my grandson wants to beat the place!"
"Hey, we don't want him to come. Our son knows for himself whether he will come or not, haha! That's all!" The old man smiled, "If he wants to see us, you tell him no, and I won't see him.
Got it!"
These words were beyond Zhu Yunxi's expectation.
"If you don't see him, let's see if he can figure it out!" the old man said, looking at Zhu Yunxi with soft eyes.
Missing, it seems unreasonable.
In fact, it is a kind of preservation.
If he met, it would be bad to repay the kindness of his father and the filial piety of his son. In that case, King Yan Zhu Di might have other ideas, and Zhu Yunxi would not be happy either.
"Grandpa Huang, you are worrying too much!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I came to Beijing just to talk about my love!"
"We're not dead yet, don't fool us!" The old man laughed and closed his eyes, "Go and get busy! You have a lot to do!"
"In the first year of ascending the throne, things are going on non-stop. Your fourth uncle comes to Beijing, and there will be another imperial examination soon. It's enough for you to keep spinning!"

As soon as the small court meeting in Fengtian Hall ended, the case in Z spread throughout the officialdom of the capital.
Some people are secretly watching, some are secretly thinking, and some are worried. Especially officials who are from Z, and officials who are involved there.
Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's Mansion, the rear residence.
Li Jinglong, dressed in white silk uniform, was lying on a rocking chair on a grape trellis with his eyes closed and meditating. A pretty girl beside him was holding a cattail leaf fan to help him fan himself and drive away mosquitoes.
At his feet, another maid squatted, put his feet on her knees in front of his chest, and carefully cut his nails.
Li Jinglong's feet are very big. Because he has been pampered since childhood, his feet are whiter than ordinary people's faces.
The maid carefully cut off her long nails and wrapped them in a small handkerchief. Her body, hair and skin were protected by her parents, so these things should not be thrown away.
Then, use a silver foil to start slowly rolling it up.
After just two setbacks, Li Jinglong closed his eyes and smiled, then his big feet twisted restlessly.
Stretch forward and touch the maid with your toes.
"Hey! Itchy!"
The maid suddenly had peach blossoms on her face, "Master, don't make trouble, I'm going to do my nails!"
Li Jinglong's feet were still ticking, and he smiled with his eyes closed, "I'm so itchy that I'm not allowed to move. Then next time, when you're itchy, don't beg me to move!"
"The master is evil!" the maid said shyly.
Li Jinglong smiled proudly and said to the side, "Hua'er, feed me!"
A clear hand on the side held the grapes and put them into Li Jinglong's mouth.
"Yeah, sweet!" Li Jinglong took a bite and then held onto the other person's hand, "These grapes are pretty good. They are big and have a lot of water. Come and touch them!"
Touching it, something suddenly felt wrong.
Why did I feel a bracelet and a big ring on the maid's hand?
When I opened my eyes, I was trembling all over and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
Mrs. Li Jinglong, Mrs. Deng, withdrew her hand with a smile, "Why, I am so old and skinny, did you scare me?"
"No!" Li Jinglong stood up and quickly explained, "Um, um, weren't you going to visit relatives?"
"My concubine is back early?" Deng Shi said with a smile. She went to have a wedding banquet today and came back early to save face. But she didn't expect to see this scene.
At that moment, she looked at the two maids coldly and sneered, "Oh, the girl is old and it's time to get married. I'll be in the house later to find two young people for you!"
The two girls knelt down, not daring to express their anger.
When he heard that Madam meant to marry off the girl next to him, Li Jinglong was a little unhappy and forced a smile and said, "You guys go down, Madam is joking!"
Then, just as he was about to say a few harsh words to Mrs. Deng, he saw the other party take out a few gold notes from his sleeves, "The notes from Sheng Dechang bank account, 10,000 in cash! My mother's family gave them to our son! I didn't want them, but they were
My sister-in-law caught up with me and said that our family is getting married to the Jin Wang family and we cannot lose our dignity!"
"Hi! It's true, my uncle! He doesn't come from a wealthy family! The family has just improved in the past few years!" Li Jinglong said, but he quickly took the banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Speaking of which, now
It’s time to spend money. Our son is going to marry the princess, the old man’s direct granddaughter, so we can’t be shabby and careless!”
"We need to expand our mansion and build a garden in the countryside. Money is everywhere inside and outside!"
Mrs. Deng rolled her eyes at him, "Whatever our family has done over the years has not been funded by my mother's family!"
"Look what you said, what's the difference between your natal family and our own family?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Just then, the housekeeper walked over quickly, as if something was wrong.
"Master, the third master is here!"
"What is he here for?" Li Jinglong was stunned.
The third master in the official family's mouth is his youngest concubine Li Fangying.
Because of the merits of her father's generation, Li Fangying has been working as a sinecure these years and has enjoyed her life in Beijing. Outsiders also give her some face because of the Li family.
"Go and take a look!" the butler whispered, "As soon as the third master entered the door, he knelt down immediately!"
