Chapter 143: Good Days for the People

 The three royal grandfather and grandson, who had vented their emotions, walked out of the side hall together.

The emperor took the lead, probably because he did not want his son and grandson to see his red eyes.

Zhu Yunxi held the two handles on the back of the wheelchair and pushed the prince's father slowly, so that he could be behind him.

Sun Gou'er, the steward of the inner palace, raised his hand several times and put it down again. Seeing that he had no place to intervene, he turned around and went to the side hall, took out a lot of silver and put it in his arms, and then hurriedly followed.

Today, His Majesty, the Prince, and the Emperor's Grandson are out for a trip to the palace. They will definitely have a lot of fun. We don't dare to let the three nobles run out of money while they are playing!

When Jie Jin and the other three people were waiting outside the side hall, they saw the three generations of the Tian family coming out side by side, with disbelief on their faces.

The three of them hurried forward.

"I see your majesty, the prince, and the grandson of the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first: "It's you, the good sons of our Ming Dynasty!"

Then, the prince, who was sitting in a wheelchair in a comfortable mood, spoke: "The prince did not choose the wrong person!"

Finally, Jie Jin and the others looked at the emperor's grandson who was pushing the wheelchair towards the back hall with dull eyes.

Zhu Yunxi seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said with a smile: "There seems to be some memorials in the court, but I have not reviewed them. The three of you will stay here today to sort out your own opinions, and I will not make a conclusion until I return to the palace.



After he finished speaking, he ignored the three of them and pushed the wheelchair directly to the back hall.

Jie Jin and the other three were completely dumbfounded.

Did these three noble men of the Ming Dynasty give up their jobs at the same time?

Before the three of them catch up with Zhu Yunxi, let’s talk about it.

Sun Gou'er, the palace manager with his arms full of money, was already walking as fast as flying, and he stepped in front of Xie Jin and the others.

Sun Gou'er held his bulging belly with one hand and held the hand carrying money diagonally with the other, bowing towards Jie Jin and the others.

"Three of you, our family is going to accompany Your Majesty and the others out of the palace. You three are tired from your work. If you are thirsty or hungry, please order the slaves in the palace to just do as they are told. If anyone is disobedient, I will come back and replace the three of you."

The lesson is..."

As Sun Gouer spoke, his voice became farther and farther away, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Xie Jin and the others.

By the time there was no more grunting noise from the prince's wheelchair, there was no more noise coming from the palace.

Only then did Xie Jin and the other three people react.

The three of you were detained to work!

The three of them looked at each other helplessly again.

Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly: "This..."

Tie Xuan shook his sleeves: "We should take leave today and stay home!"

Xie Jin smiled, waved his hand, turned sideways towards the table piled with memorials not far away, and made an invitation: "You two, state affairs cannot be delayed! Let's get to work!"

……

"Dad, the autumn in Yingtian City looks better today!"

On the crowded streets of Yingtian City, Zhu Yunxi bent down and shouted in Zhu Biao's ear.

As the summer grain has been put into the warehouse, the autumn harvest has just ended. Today is a good harvest year in the Ming Dynasty. The people have surplus grain and money in their hands, and Yingtian City is particularly lively.

Taking advantage of winter's arrival, the people paid taxes, saved food rations, and bought the extra food in exchange for money. They took the money and entered Yingtian City to buy some items for the New Year's Day in a few months.<

/p>

The common people are like this. They are full of urgency every moment and always prepare everything in advance.

And if these common people have women in their families, some men in the same village will work together to buy a few feet of fabric when they have money, and then divide it among each family after they return, so that the women at home can celebrate the New Year.

Put on new clothes.

Under the protection of several Imperial Guardsmen behind Qiao Zhuang, the three men of the Tomorrow family in white dragon fish uniforms now had enough space around them.

Zhu Biao looked at the golden leaves on the street, the joy on the faces of the people, and the merchants standing in front of the street shops sweating profusely.

In the nose, there are all kinds of food aromas wafting from the streets and alleys.

These scenes made Zhu Biao feel more and more comfortable after being seriously ill.

He smiled and said: "Okay! Okay! If our Ming Dynasty can have such a grand event every day, we will do it!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the lively scene in front of him and nodded heavily: "There will come a day in the Ming Dynasty when people are tired of going out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was walking in front, turned back and looked at his son and grandson dissatisfied. He had an eagerness to try on his face, as if he was interested in a circus troupe not far away.

"Can you two hurry up? You two are not as good as the old woman in Guzhuang Village!"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes, the old man had let go.

But he had to speed up and push the prince's father to keep up with him.

The Imperial Guards and soldiers guarding the surrounding area were very dexterous, and without anyone noticing, they sent the three of them to the best position in the jugglery circle.

At this time, this juggler trying to make a living was performing a trick of breathing fire to scare children.

The two of them were in the middle and began to perform stunts that broke rocks on their chests.

Drink!

The man holding the hammer gave a low shout, then swung the hammer and hit the stone slab on his companion's chest hard.

There was a click.

The stone slab shattered in response.

This exciting scene scared the timid people around and screamed. The children and little girls even screamed and stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, but two fingers were exposed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it happily, turned back to Zhu Yunxi, and whispered: "When your grandfather and I were still in Fengyang, I was begging for food. I was thinking that if I couldn't get food, I would go to the city.

, also perform this chest-breaking boulder."

Prince Zhu Biao pursed his lips. It was not easy for the old man to start a business. It was difficult to found the country. The Zhu family suffered a lot in those years.

Zhu Yunxi also saw the old man's pity for these people who could only rely on their bodies to make a living, and immediately winked at Sun Gou'er beside him.

"Good life!"

"My old man rewarded me!"

As he spoke, Sun Gouer took out a handful of broken silver from his arms and threw it into the circle.

"Young ladies, I would like to thank the old man, and wish him longevity as long as the Nanshan Mountains, blessings like the East China Sea, and endless descendants!"

Amidst the congratulations of the juggling team, the three people of the Zhu family, grandfather and grandson, had already walked away.

This trip, according to Zhu Yunxi's original intention, was to take the prince's father out of the palace for a walk so that he could be happier. This is what the old man nodded and agreed to.

But unexpectedly, all the way through the city and alleys, the old man was playing and watching happily.

"If you think about it carefully, it has been many years since your grandfather was able to live freely among the people outside the palace..." Zhu Biao sat in a wheelchair and looked at the old man walking in front, asking Sun Gou'er to give out rewards.

He turned back to Zhu Yunxi and explained in a low voice.

The current emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all desperate for their lives.

Zhu Yunxi smiled lowly: "The father must get well soon. Then the son will take his grandpa out to play all day long."

"You libertine! Don't lead your grandpa into mischief while you are doing nothing!" Zhu Biao looked anxious and immediately waved his hand and twitched back.

Zhu Yunxi, who was slapped on the shoulder, was smiling, but his eyes were worried as he looked at the prince's father who had his back turned to him.

After the prince woke up, he did not ask about Lu and Zhu Yunwen in the past few days.

The prince is not that careless person. There is no way he could not have noticed that he had been awake for several days. Why didn't Mr. Lu and Zhu Yunwen come to visit him?

But the prince never asked anyone about this matter, let alone revealed it in front of himself and the old man.

Zhu Yunxi knew very well that his father probably knew in his heart what exactly happened in the palace during the days when he was in coma.

It is precisely because of this that he did not single out this matter.

And it was for this reason that Zhu Yunxi mentioned to the old man yesterday that he wanted to take the prince's father out of the palace to relax.

At this time, it seems to be a good opportunity.

Zhu Yunxi was pushing the wheelchair behind him and hesitantly said in a low voice: "Dad..."

"Hurry up, your grandpa seems to be hungry." Zhu Biao suddenly spoke, pointing to Zhu Yuanzhang who was parked in front of a pickle rice stall.

Zhu Yunxi followed the sound and looked over, and it turned out to be an old man selling pickled vegetables and rice that he met with Sun Cheng in the city when the Chang family's uncle passed away.

At this moment, the old man was already sitting in front of a stall buying beans.

Sun Gou'er took three bowls of pickled rice from the old man's stall selling pickled vegetables and rice, and took three bowls of bean curd from the young woman selling bean curd.

After Sun Gouer arranged everything, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked behind him impatiently, seeing that his son and grandson were not walking as fast as the old man himself.

The old man frowned and waved.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly pushed his father to the front.

Zhu Yuanzhang has already begun to eat pickled vegetables and rice.

When he saw his son and grandson coming over, he just stretched out a hand and nodded: "It's done for you. After walking all this way and seeing all this, I'm so tired that I'm so hungry."

After taking a mouthful of rice, chewing it and swallowing it, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Why does this taste the same as the one you brought home last time?"

Zhu Yunxi met the old man's gaze. He had already seen the old man buying pickles and rice coming over.

"It turns out to be the young master. I haven't seen you for many days, and the young master is becoming more and more exciting."

The old man cupped his hands in congratulations, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao: "These two are the elders in the young master's family. They are indeed noble people."

Zhu Yunxi returned the favor with a smile: "Last time I ate your old man's pickled vegetable rice, my grandfather had been thinking about it for a long time, but today it happened by chance."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the calloused mouth of the old man's hand: "Have you ever experienced this in the military?"

The old man chuckled and waved his hand: "I don't even remember, it happened many years ago."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Has the government ever been short of your support money?"

The old man shook his head quickly: "The government officials don't dare to be short of this. They send enough people to the children's homes every month. If the government is busy with something, they will make it clear in advance and ask the children to pick it up themselves."
As he spoke, the old man poured three glasses of water for Zhu Yuanzhang and the others. From time to time he kept saying, how good the Ming Dynasty is now, and how kind the emperor is.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were raised high upon hearing this.

The young woman who was buying soy beans on the side brought over a plate of sour beans and said, "Don't dislike it, you three. This is a gift. The salty soy beans that accompany me are the best to drink."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, took a mouthful of sour beans, and drank another mouthful of salted beans.

He stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and took a long breath: "Okay!"

Then, he looked at the woman. Behind the woman's bean curd stall, there was a half-grown boy who was adding firewood to the stove containing bean curd. When he heard that a customer wanted to buy it, he would quickly prepare it for the customer.<

/p>

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "You are the only one with the child at home? Have you ever gone to school?"

The woman nodded and shook her head: "The child's father has been cleaning ditches in the countryside during this period. He said that if there is a good harvest next year, he will be able to save money and send the child to school."

"Okay! Very good!" Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied.

But the woman said: "It's all thanks to our Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the kindness of our Ming Emperor, how could we live such a good life now. We have food, clothing, and save money, so can our children."

Go to school and study."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways at the old man.

I saw that the old man’s face did not show the joyful expression that should have appeared because the people were singing their praises.

The old man probably thought of the people under the tyranny of the former Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi was thinking.

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather and grandson had eaten all the pickled vegetables, rice and salted beans.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and waved and stood up: "We are going home. When we are free in the future, I will come to take care of your business again. I must live a good life!"

The old man selling pickled vegetables and rice and the woman selling bean curd both bowed and bowed.

Zhu Yunxi looked at his father in the wheelchair, and then looked at the old man again.

Seeing that the old man had returned to the palace, he quickly pushed his father to follow him.

Sun Gou'er, who was lagging behind, took out two handfuls of broken silver from his arms, not too much, about a few taels.

"Your family's food is good, and my father rewarded it."

The old man and woman hurried forward and tried to evade: "It's impossible, how much does it cost?"

Sun Gou'er didn't respond, and took two steps back and said: "My old man is the old man you mentioned earlier, our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is a gift from His Majesty, and cannot be refused."

As he spoke, Sun Gouer turned and left with a smile on his face.

The old man and the woman looked at each other in fear.

What you made went into the emperor’s mouth?

The two of them were excited and quickly knelt down.

"The common people thank your Majesty for the reward!"

"May your Majesty be safe and may you live a long and prosperous life!"
