Chapter 39: Court Hall (2)

"Come on, help us dry these radish leaves and dried plums and vegetables!"

On the open space beside Yong'an Palace, the old man who was bent down under the sun with a straw hat, said directly when he saw Zhu Yunxiu, "If you take off your dragon robe, that's not the clothes for work!"

"Grandpa Emperor, don't be tired!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and, under the servitude of Park Bucheng, took off his dragon robe, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted beside the old man.

A bamboo cover curtain was pounced on the open space, and the curtain was filled with dried vegetables with a little water vapor. It was a bit wet after grabbing it.

Zhu Yunxiu carefully spread the radish leaves and continued to smile, "Your waist is not good, so you can't always squat!"

"I can't be idle! I haven't heard of anyone who is exhausted from working!" The old man lowered his head and carefully spread the dried vegetables in his hand, with a focused expression and a gentle look.

"When we were a child, life was still past those years. Your mama would prepare these dried vegetables early. When it was winter was almost the Chinese New Year, take it out and stew it, or mix it with mixed noodles, which would be fragrant!"

As he said that, the old man suddenly sighed, "The same is true when your grandmother was alive. What we posted was not as good as theirs!"

Then, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Yunxiu, sprinkled a pile of dried vegetables, then grabbed them with his hands, and said angrily, "What are you doing? You're so stupid! This is a meticulous job, you have to shake it and then dry it!"

As he said that, he said angrily, "Gengkengkeng, I can't count on you in anything!"

At this moment, Liujin rushed from a distance with his short legs.

"Old ancestor, old ancestor!"

The old man looked up and his face was full of smiles, "Hey, our heart is coming!"

As he said that, he opened his arms and hugged Liujin, who was running towards him.

"What are you running on a hot day? It looks like your mind is full of sweat!"

Liu Jin grinned and immediately saluted Zhu Yunxiu, "My son has seen his father!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded like a strict father, "Can you do your homework today?"

"Return to Father! I wrote twenty big words and read three books!" Liu Jin whispered.

"Don't slack off!" Zhu Yunxiu warned.

"What are you doing?" The old man was dissatisfied again and glared at Zhu Yunxi. "You're sweating. Don't ask someone to bring water to you, but you're scolding me? Don't scold me in front of us!" As he said that, he turned to Liujin and smiled again, "With us here, don't be afraid of him!"

Liu Jin chuckled twice, looking at the dried vegetables on the ground curiously, "Old ancestor, what is this?"

"This is dry vegetables!" the old man smiled, "Do you know what dry vegetables are made?"

Liu Jin tilted his head and thought, "Well, did you feed the animals? The bachelor of teaching said that people eat food, and animals eat hay, vegetables and leaves..."

"Stop!" Zhu Yunxiu was furious.

"Stop!" The old man glanced at him, looked at Liujin, and suddenly laughed, "Our good grandson is right. Isn't this thing just fed animals by rich people?" As he said that, he suddenly took a handful of under Liujin, "Take a chicken for the ancestor!"

"Hahaha!!" Liujin smiled and avoided.

"Go and take our good grandson to a cool place to sweat!" The old man smiled and told Park Bushen.

He smiled and watched Liujin walk away. The old man's smile disappeared. He glanced at Zhu Yunxiu, "What are you going to do about that?"

"You old man will know so soon?"

Zhu Yunxi thought the old man was talking about the case that happened in Z, and said seriously, "If you need to kill, kill, don't be ruthless!"

Unexpectedly, the old man laughed and scolded, "You are your own uncle, you want to kill? We are still alive! You can kill?"

"Are you talking about the fourth uncle?" Zhu Yunyu reacted and smiled, "Did your grandson think you were talking about the case of Z?"

"We know that, you can handle it yourself!" The old man smiled, "We have all come down. Those military and national affairs can only be asked if we can ask. Our Supreme Emperor will be the decoration. If we point fingers, then what do you think of you, the emperor?"

Zhu Yunxiu helped the old man sit down in the shade, "The fourth uncle comes to Beijing, everything is in accordance with the state ceremony. He should give a banquet and give him a banquet, and give him whatever he should give him!" As he said, he paused and smiled, "Of course, grandson should also knock on the places where he should be knocked!"

"Hey, we don't want him to come. Our son knows whether he will come or not, haha! That's all!" The old man smiled, "If he wants to see us, tell him no need, we will disappear!"

These words were beyond Zhu Yunxiu's expectations.

"If you don't see him, see if he can guess it!" the old man said, looking at Zhu Yunxi with a gentle look.

It seems unreasonable to see.

In fact, it is a kind of preservation.

If you meet, it would be better to be kind and filial to your son. In that case, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, may have no idea, and Zhu Yunqiu will not be happy.

"Grandpa Emperor is too worried!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Going to Beijing is just a storytelling!"

"We are not dead yet, don't fool the fool!" The old man laughed and cursed, closing his eyes, "Go busy! You have a lot of things to do!"

"In the first year of ascending the throne, the land is not stopped. Your fourth uncle came to Beijing and it will be an palace examination again soon, enough for you to make a round-trip!"

~~~~

As soon as the small dynasty in Fengtian Hall dispersed, the cases in Z area spread throughout the officialdom in the capital.

Some people are watching secretly, some are thinking secretly, and some are nervous. Especially officials from Z, and officials who are involved there.

Duke Cao Li Jinglong's mansion, the back house.

Li Jinglong was wearing a white silk dress and lay on the rocking chair of the grape trellis, closing his eyes to rest. A pretty girl next to him, holding a palm-leaf fan to help him fan the air and drive away mosquitoes.

At the foot, another maid squatted, put his feet in front of his knees and chest, and carefully cut his nails.

Li Jinglong's feet are very big, because he has been pampering since childhood, and his feet are whiter than ordinary people's faces.

The maid carefully cut off her long nails and then wrapped them in a small veil. She can't throw these things around her parents.

Then, use silver to start slowly to set off.

Just as he slapped twice, Li Jinglong closed his eyes and smiled, then twisted his big feet restlessly.

Stretch forward and touch the maid with her toes.

"Ho! Itchy!"

The maid's face suddenly had peach blossoms in full bloom, "Master, stop making trouble, I'm going to get my nails!"

Li Jinglong's feet were still hooked and he closed his eyes and smiled, "It's so itchy in my heart. Don't let me move? Then next time, when you're itchy, don't beg me to move!"

"Master is bad!" said the maid shyly.

Li Jinglong smiled proudly and said to the side, "Flowers, feed them!"

A simple hand next to him was holding the grapes and putting them into Li Jinglong's mouth.

"Yeah, sweet!" Li Jinglong bit and then grabbed the other party's hand. "This grape is good, the old man has a lot of water. Come and touch it!"

When I touched it, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why did I touch the bracelet and a big ring on the maid's hand?

When he opened his eyes, he shivered all over and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

Mrs. Deng, the wife of Li Jinglong, took her hands back without a smile, "Why, I'm so scared to you?"

"No!" Li Jinglong turned over and quickly explained, "That, that, haven't you been visiting relatives?"

"I'm back early?" Deng Shi said with a smile. She went to have a wedding banquet today, and she took care of her face and came back early. But she didn't expect that she saw this scene.

At that moment, she looked at the two maids coldly and sneered, "Ha, the girl is old and it's time to get married. I'll go back and find two young people in the mansion for you!"

The two girls knelt on the ground, not daring to show off.

When Li Jinglong heard that the lady was trying to marry the girl around him, he was a little unhappy and forced a smile and said, "You guys go down, the lady is joking!"

Then, just as he was about to say a few tough words to Deng, he saw the other party take out a few gold bills from his sleeve, "The Shengdechang bill is 10,000 yuan in cash! My parents gave it to our son! I didn't want it, but my sister-in-law caught up and said that our family had a marriage with the Wang family in Jin, so we couldn't lose our dignity!"

"Hi! Brother-in-law is really! He is not a wealthy family! The family has just improved in recent years!" Li Jinglong said, but quickly took the silver bill and stuffed it into his sleeves. "To be honest, it's time to use money. Our son is going to marry the princess, the old man's legitimate granddaughter, so he can't be shabby and careless!"

"Our mansion needs to be expanded, and the countryside needs to be built, and there is money inside and outside!"

Deng gave him a blank look, "In the past few years, my parents' money is not what we do!"

"See what you said, what's the difference between your parents' home and ours!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

At this moment, the butler walked quickly, as if something was wrong.

"Master, the third master is here!"

"What are he here to do?" Li Jinglong was stunned.

The third master in the official family is his youngest sister Li Fangying.

Because of the achievements of his father, Li Fangying has been working in idle positions over the years and has lived a good life in Beijing. Outsiders also give some face because of the Li family.
