Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the four portions of pickled vegetables and rice that Sun Cheng carried in his hand, and knew that this was for the prince.
Sun Gou'er, who was scolded, hurriedly bowed and took a portion from Sun Cheng's hand.
He was about to send it to the Zhongji Palace for the Crown Prince, when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already opened the package, was sitting on the threshold stone of the Huangji Gate with a bowl in his hands, and was about to open his mouth to take it. p>
He quickly stopped and muttered with an awkward smile: "Your Majesty...this is the Huangji Sect..."
There is no such thing as an emperor holding a rice bowl and sitting on the stone threshold of the palace to eat.
After Sun Gou'er finished speaking, he looked fearfully inside and outside the Huangji Gate, fearing that the emperor's actions would be seen by the censors of the previous dynasty. Then those ministers would not dare to say anything against His Majesty, but would appoint themselves to be impeached.
I have never given any advice to dissuade His Majesty from his royal behavior.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Sun Gouer with dissatisfaction.
Under Sun Gou'er's anxious gaze, he took another portion from Sun Cheng's hand and slapped it on Zhu Yunxi's hand: "This is our family's territory. How about we have a meal in front of our own door?"
As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi: "In your great-grandfather's generation, your great-grandmother prepared the food, and he would sit at the door of his house with his rice bowl, looking at the crop fields outside, eating the rice, not to mention how fragrant it was.
!"
"Now our family has more land and a bigger house, so what?"
"It's not all our own territory. When eating in front of our own house, we have to behave accordingly!"
"Eat!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang arrogantly grabbed the pickled vegetables and rice in the bowl and put it into his mouth in large gulps. In the blink of an eye, his mouth was full of oil.
Sun Gouer's eyes widened when he saw it. Your Majesty is going to kill him!
Standing on tiptoe and shaking his legs, Sun Gou'er looked down at the pickled vegetables and rice he was holding in his arms to give to the Crown Prince. He gritted his teeth and could only turn around and run towards Zhongji Palace.
On this side, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to follow behind the old man, picking at the pickled rice in the bowl with each mouthful.
On the other end, Zhu Yuanzhang was probably choking. He stretched out his neck and took a long time to breathe out.
“This still tastes right!”
"In the past, when Xu Xingzu was in charge of the food in the palace, he would often make pickles and rice for us to eat. Now that his son has taken over, he is unwilling to cook this dish for us at all. He said all day long that even if the emperor is frugal, he will not do it for us.
You can’t lose your dignity...it’s tasteless!”
Xu Xingzu is an old cook who has been with him for decades and has never insulted him.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu, King Zhu Fan of the Jin Dynasty took over Taiyuan. Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Xu Xingzu to the King of Jin as a cook, but he did not expect that Zhu Fan would whip Xu Xingzu out of anger.
When I turned around, I was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunxi listened with gusto: "Meal is what establishes destiny. Those who do not handle the meal will not be able to do it. The person who is in charge of the meal is crucial."
He was talking about the eleventh year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang knew that after the King of Jin whipped Xu Xingzu, he issued an edict to reprimand him.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "We are just talking about the Xu family's loyalty and filial piety. We will eat whatever they do. Today is a change of taste and reminiscing about the past."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Sun Cheng, who was standing aside with the last portion of pickled vegetables and rice.
"Eat it, the portion in your hand must be left to you by your third master."
He has a sharp eye and knows the purpose of the extra portion.
Sun Cheng, who was pointed at by the emperor, immediately showed fear on his face. He carried the last portion of pickled vegetables and rice and bowed and clasped his fists.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Eat it, it's just for you."
Sun Cheng raised his head, looked at Zhu Yunxi, then at Zhu Yuanzhang, thanking him for his kindness, then carefully carried the pickled vegetables and rice, and hid in the corner of Huangji Gate. He did not dare to sit down, but squatted and hugged Bowl, eat in small bites.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt comfortable after knocking, and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "You know how to be a good man now. We can rest assured knowing that our subordinates will treat each other with sincerity and sincerity."
Zhu Yunxi smiled, showing a smile that revealed a young man's thoughts.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again: "Speaking of which, look at this scene, if we count, we are the rich man Liu of Guzhuang Village back then, and his Sun Cheng is our tenant farmer."
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly spoke: "I am not the rich and unkind Mr. Liu. I founded the Ming Dynasty and served as emperor for twenty-four years. The world supports the elderly and raises the young. In the eyes of the people, it is the kindness of building bridges and roads and opening warehouses to store grain. It’s gone.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile on his face: "Our grandson will say that we are certainly not comparable to that damn Rich Man Liu. That guy is just a thief with a bad heart and a bad heart!"
At this time.
Sun Gou'er, who went to Zhongji Palace to deliver food to the Crown Prince, has already rushed back, carrying a teapot and teacup in his hand.
When he arrived at Huangji's door, he poured tea and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince said that you and your grandson will definitely be thirsty after eating pickled vegetables and rice, so I asked the old slave to bring tea to moisten your mouth."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, cleaned the last few grains of rice from the bottom of the bowl, took the tea from Sun Gouer, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, have you finished eating?"
Sun Gou'er replied: "The prince said that every drop is the sweat of the people, and he will live up to it."
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied and turned to look at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi was excited and hurriedly picked up the rice bowl in his hand. He finished the rest of the meal in a few seconds and asked for tea from Sun Gou'er with his bulging mouth.
Sun Gou'er looked at Zhu Yunxi's appearance, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please slow down, don't choke, there is enough tea."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat aside and smiled happily.
He was born into a tenant farmer, and apart from seeing everything going well in the world, he would only feel happy when he saw his children and grandchildren eating.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi finishing his meal and drinking tea and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped laughing and looked at Zhu Yunxi faintly: "Are you having wine with Na Xie Jin at Jiaofangsi today?"
"Yeah."
Zhu Yunxi, who had just finished eating, nodded his head almost without thinking, and then looked at the old man in surprise with a smile in the corner of his eyes and an ambiguous expression.
"Well...?"
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, who still had rice left in his mouth, mumbling and chewing.
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into hearty laughter again: "Grow up! According to the custom of our Guzhuang Village, when a child grows up, he will get married and start a business. I don't know which girl can take a fancy to a bastard like you!" p>
Zhu Yunxi choked for a moment, stared at the old man who suddenly had a sudden change in topic, and blinked in confusion.
On the other hand, Sun Gou'er's face glowed red and he followed the emperor's wishes and said: "Your Majesty's grandson is pure, filial, benevolent, and heroic. I'm afraid your Majesty will let the news out, and everyone will look back at the birth dates of the young ladies of the civil and military ministers' families.
Your Majesty’s desk will be piled up to the limit.”
Zhu Yunxi finally swallowed the food in his mouth and whispered: "Grandpa..."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Back then, my family had no money and we had to pay bills for twenty-four years. I just married your grandma to get started.
After the creation of the Ming Dynasty, our family has the conditions. Your father will marry your mother and concubine at the age of sixteen.
Now that you are fourteen, you should decide on a marriage first, and you can’t let all the good girls from outside enter other families’ doors!”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang was already pondering.
It looks like he is trying to figure out which girl from the court is worthy of his good grandson.
