In the early morning, when we should have welcomed the first ray of sunshine, there suddenly came a dense, continuous and continuous spring rain inexplicably.
When there is rain, there is overcast, and when there is overcast, there is cold.
So this early spring, which was supposed to be warm, was suddenly turned from warm to cold by this cold spring rain.
Once a person is used to warmth, it is difficult to adapt to the cold.
The Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace was filled with the sound of falling raindrops. The raindrops hit the white marble railings, the pure white steps, and the open space.
However, there was only the sound of rain falling, but there were no puddles forming. The falling rain was discharged into the underground river of the Forbidden City through drainage pipes or cracks in the stone road and disappeared.
Zhu Yunzheng was sitting beside the stove, leaning against a lounge chair, covering a blanket on his legs.
The stove was very small and exquisite, and the fire was covered with a wire mesh. The bastard carefully placed a copper pot on the wire mesh and slowly poured spring water into it.
After the water boils, use a silver spoon to take out a few chrysanthemums and a small handful of Pu'er from the porcelain box, put them into the boiling water, then add wolfberry and red dates, and add a small piece of rock sugar.
Not long after, the fragrance of hot tea began to fill the hall.
"Your Majesty, the tea is ready!"
A blue and white porcelain cup with red underglaze was placed in Zhu Yunxi's palm, and heat spread from his arm to his whole body. He still looked at the rain outside the window quietly, as if he was savoring this rare tranquility.
But soon, the tranquility was broken.
On the other side of Duanmen, there was an eunuch holding an umbrella and protecting a minister wearing a python robe, who was walking out of the rain. Although he could not see the person's face clearly, Zhu Yunxi knew who it was by the python robe.
Li Jinglong was the only civil and military man in the entire dynasty who did not like to wear official uniforms and always wore a python robe to show his identity.
"Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, goes to see the Emperor!"
Zhu Yunzheng sat in the slightly empty hall and looked at Li Jinglong in front of him.
It stands to reason that since a eunuch was holding an umbrella, there would be no traces of raindrops on his body. But the fact is that his shoulders and neck were covered with raindrops and were wet. The official boots under his feet were wet and exposed.
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and told the bastard, "Bring him a towel to wipe it with and find him a pair of clean boots." Then he said to Li Jinglong, "Sit next to me and drink. Warm up your body with hot tea!”
"That minister is disrespectful!" Li Jinglong smiled and went to the side first to let the eunuch help him take off his official boots. Then he wore snow-white socks and sat on the round stool next to Zhu Yunxi.
"It is said that every autumn rain comes and a cold comes, but this spring rain does not bring any warmth?" After Li Jinglong sat down, he naturally and smoothly took the task of making tea from the bastard.
He is the children of the family, and the most elegant things are going on.
A set of movements is graceful and skillful. First, put the longan and red dates on the wire mesh and roast them for a while, then put them in the water, put down the rock sugar, and slowly stir them with a silver spoon.
"But this rain came at the right time!" Li Jinglong smiled and poured tea. "Although traveling is a little inconvenient, it is the time for spring plowing. If there is rain in early spring, there will be no drought for a year!" As he said that, he changed a cup for Zhu Yunxi. New tea, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, I have become more and more windy."
"You are always so fresh and refined, don't be ingenious!" Zhu Yunzheng laughed.
"It's God who works for the good, otherwise I won't be able to find a suitable reason to flatter you!" Li Jinglong continued to smile, "The God of God works for the good, but the root cause is that Your Majesty governs the country well, and your benevolent policies move the world!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi wrapped the blanket tightly and said with a smile, "If you keep talking, I will blush!" As he said, he turned his head slightly and looked at Li Jinglong's face repeatedly, "What's the matter with you? Your eyes are black. Look at it.
Haggard, didn’t you sleep well last night?”
"Uh..." Li Jinglong smiled bitterly, as if he didn't dare to face Zhu Yunxi's eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just..."
"Just what?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It's not a small thing that can make you sleep poorly, right?"
"This ...." Li Jinglong stood up and said, "Speaking of which, the ministers, the family is ugly!"
"Oh?" He said this, and Zhu Yunxi, knowing that he was being pretentious, couldn't help asking with interest, "What's going on? Tell me!" He said, waving his hand and saying, "Sit down and talk!"
Li Jinglong sighed and sat down, his face was full of sadness, his eyes were full of complex look, like anger and grievances and interweaving, very vivid.
"It's my useless son!" Li Jinglong sighed, "Yesterday I went to the new house where he and the princess were getting married." At this point, he sighed again, "I wanted to ask him what he still lacks.
Unexpectedly, that scoundrel is picky and picky. One moment he says this is not good, and the next he says it was repaired in a hurry. He is dissatisfied with everything."
Speaking, he shook his head again, "Hey, children are debt!"
Then, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's side face and said, "I thought that he would live in a separate house in the future. Even if I was angry, I suppressed it. I also thought about him living alone in the future, and was afraid that he would be tight, so I gave him some extra money!
"
"It is said that raising children is about paying off debts, but I know it now. The money was the hard-earned savings of three generations of the Li family, but that little beast took it and still felt... it was still missing..."
The expression of his speech fell in Zhu Yunzheng's eyes, making him really want to laugh.
At this moment, Li Jinglong still looks like a Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He is no different from those fathers in later generations who were sucked out of their bones by their sons and suffered from deep hatred. While trying to arrange a marriage for his son, he also complained about his child's ignorance.
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite!" Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly, "But I don't think that kid Li Qi is ignorant, so why is he acting so angry at this time?"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong was shocked.
Hurry up and say, "He is not playing with sex, or ... is ... I am afraid that the county owner will be wronged in the future!"
"How much did you give him?" Zhu Yunzheng bowed his head to drink hot tea.
"This ..." Li Jinglong was a little embarrassed, "500,000!"
"Hey, rich man!" Zhu Yunxi changed his face slightly.
"This is the family wealth of three generations of my grandfather!" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, "Including the various favors the emperor gave me in the early years." He continued, "The early gifts and late gifts are all his.
I also think about it. The county owner is noble, and the couple and the counselor are inevitable that they will be a bit awkward. In the future, they will let them pass by, each one! "
Zhu Yunzheng bowed his head and took another sip of tea. He said slowly, "Being a father to separate from his eldest son, you are also the first one!"
“儿大不由爷!”李景隆笑道,“孩子大了主意正,看着他那样臣就满肚子或想抽他!”
After saying that, he secretly looked at Zhu Yunxi's profile.
Seeing that the emperor had no expression and seemed to have little interest in what he was saying, he felt relieved. He looked around him again and saw that the bastard looked at him in shame, but he obviously listened and felt a little more at ease.
He secretly changed the concept.
The money given to his son was exchanged for his Li family's wealth, and those banknotes deposited in the bank. With this change of concept, the huge sum of money also had a legal identity.
As for the amount of money owed, he intentionally did not say the real number. In fact, it is not important what the number is. What is important is that no one can talk about the origin of the money no matter what in the future.
The savings of the three generations of the Li family, the emperor knows, who can still adjust it?
But the next second, his heart suddenly became anxious again.
"Did you say this to me on purpose?"
"minister......."
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Yunzheng looked up gently, looking out the window, "Xu Huizu and Zhang Ye are here!"
