The next morning, Zhu Chu tidied up a little and left Ava City with his guards and headed for the capital. Dao Baifeng was also traveling with him. Although he had not officially married her yet - there was no time to hold a wedding, Dao Mudan On the pretext of paying tribute, he went to the capital with Zhu Zhen, taking Dao Baifeng with him.
Also setting off with Zhu Chu was Mu Ang, but Mu Ang was not going to the capital. He came to Myanmar this time to command operations at the invitation of Zhu Chu, and he did not hold any position in Minfan. His official position was Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty. This time he went back to Kunming where he was supposed to work, but this time he was on the same road as Zhu Zhen, so he went together.
On November 12, Zhu Ming returned to Yongchang and took his wife Mu with him to continue his journey.
A few days later, 9 and his wife came to Kunming. Of course it was not good to miss Mu Sheng when they arrived in Kunming, especially since his princess was Mu Sheng's sister, so although 9 and Mu Sheng were very difficult to deal with, he still asked the team to stop here. Next, I, Princess Mu Ang and I entered Kunming to meet Mu Sheng.
Of course, when two people who don't deal with each other meet, they have nothing to say. Even though Princess Min Mu Qingshuang kept adjusting the atmosphere between the two of them, and Mu Ang kept making jokes, it didn't work. Historically, although Mu Sheng's sister Although she was not married to Zhu Zhen, Mu Sheng was able to report Zhu Yunwen's violation of laws and disciplines without hesitation, which is enough to prove how bad their relationship was.
In the midst of embarrassment, Zhu Min suddenly thought of something and asked Mu Sheng, "Where is Xiancai now?"
Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized who he was talking about, and said: "Princess Anqiu is currently in the Third Education Department of Lin'an Prefecture."
"The Third Department of Education is already close to Annan Kingdom, the most southeastern place in Yunnan. Why do you let her stay in a place like this?" Zhu Zhen said.
Mu Sheng was not angry at first, but when he heard Zhu Xi's words, he became angry: Zhu Xiancai is a royal princess. Although almost all the clans do not want to see her, she is still a princess. Can he control her? !You can only send someone to protect her secretly.
But he didn't dare to say this. It involved the royal family. If it only involved Zhu Zhen, it wouldn't be a big problem. But when it involved the princesses of other vassals, he didn't dare to say anything casually. He just bowed his head and said nothing; but everyone can It was obvious that he was very angry.
Mu Qingshuang immediately said: "Husband, my brother is a marquis, how dare you take care of Xiancai. When we come back from the capital, we will pass through southwest Yunnan and go see Xiancai."
Zhu Ming also knew that he was asking a question, so he stopped talking about it when the princess gave him the chance, and turned to talk about other things; but Mu Sheng was still angry and didn't speak.
After a very boring meal, Zhu and his wife left Xipinghou Mansion and prepared to leave Kunming and continue their journey.
When he walked to the city gate, Zhu Zhen suddenly said: "No, I feel that as the only vassal king in Yunnan, I can't ignore Xiancai like this. If Yunhe asks and it's hard to explain, I'll leave it to other vassals." The king’s impression is also not good, as if he doesn’t care about his relatives.”
"Xiao Cui, you take a few people to the Third Department of Education to find Xiancai and see what she needs and give her something. You take two maids and give them to her to serve."
"Yes, Your Highness." Guard Xiao Cui bowed and agreed.
…
…
"Brother Luo, look, there is another Panax notoginseng plant there, pick it down quickly." A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old said to a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walked over and was about to pick it when he suddenly smiled at the little girl and said, "Xiancai, you are wrong. This is not Panax notoginseng."
"Huh? It's not Sanqi? Let me take a look." As he said that, the little girl came over, took a closer look and said, "It's really not Sanqi."
"Then let's go back. It's getting late today. We can't get back to the village if we don't walk now." The little girl said again.
The young man had no objection. He picked up the box containing the herbs and carried it on his back, and walked towards the village with her. Two big men who had been standing by in an upright manner wanted to come up to carry the herbs for them, but the little girl refused.
This little girl was Zhu Xiancai, the fourth daughter of the former King of Qi Zhu Zhu, who became a monk after the Luxie Rebellion two years ago. In order to save the life of his fiancée, Zhu Xiancai finally made Zhu Xianyao agree to let Luo Yi live.
But at that time, Zhu Xianyao also expressed his unwillingness to let her stay in his fiefdom. Zhu Xiancai himself also knew that the clan did not want to see her, so he came to Yunnan with his fiancée and lived with the barbarian people.
Two years later, she had become familiar with these long-term lawsuits in the southeast of Lin'an Mansion, and with the help of the two medical books she took from Prince Qi's Mansion and her family's secret knowledge, Luo Yi had developed a very superb skill in treating trauma. , and became a well-known doctor here.
Of course, the two strong men were sent by Mu Sheng to protect them secretly. But when these people came here, they found that it was impossible to protect them secretly. If they did not reveal their identities, they would be executed as spies by the local indigenous people, but if their identities were revealed, they would be killed. It was impossible to protect them secretly, so they simply 'protected' the two of them publicly. The main thing they did was to watch them when they went out to collect medicine, squat at the door when they went out to treat injuries, and lie on the roof when they went home to rest.
After a while, the group of them returned to the village. This is the Third Department of Education, one of the nine other autonomous ethnic groups in Lin'an Prefecture. The degree of Chineseization is not low. Many people can speak a few words of Chinese. Zhu Xiancai also learned some Miao language. And people who can cure diseases and save lives have always been respected here, so from the entrance of the village to their homes, people kept saying hello to them, and the two of them responded one by one.
Soon after arriving at their home, the two of them put down the bamboo basket, took out the herbs, and put them in categories; then they took out the wild fruits they picked by the way, and brought vegetables from the backyard to start cooking.
When several guards first arrived, they were frightened when they saw Zhu Xiancai cooking in person. They thought that Zhu Xiancai was just hiding temporarily because Zhu Xianyao was angry with her at that time, so she must be well-dressed and well-fed, but they didn't expect that she actually didn't use anything. The servant and Luo Yi worked by themselves.
So now they are numb after seeing this scene, leaving two people to guard the door, while the others go to eat: Long Shangdeng, the Tushe (official name) of the Third Department of Education, does not dare to offend them, and arranges people every day Give them meals.
Zhu Xiancai was eating in the house and said: "Our family has picked a lot of herbs these days, but not many people have been injured these days. There are a lot of herbs in the warehouse at home. I won't go out to pick herbs tomorrow." "
"Then I won't go. The medicinal properties of these herbs will gradually decrease after being picked. It's better to wait until you need them before picking them." Luo Yi said.
"Also, these test-planted cucumbers have finally grown. I never thought they would still grow in November. We ate some, and the rest have been piled at home for a long time and are almost going bad. They are almost rotten with the local Let's change some dishes." Zhu Xiancai said again.
"As long as you decide these things, I don't have any objection to whatever you do." Luo Yi said.
Zhu Xiancai rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the head of the family, how can you not ask questions about anything?"
"You are the head of our family. You are the princess, and I am just an ordinary citizen, so naturally you are the head of the house." Luo Yi said with a smile.
Zhu Xiancai knew that Luo Yi was joking, so she treated it as a joke, stretched out her hand and pinched Luo Yi's leg. Luo Yi pretended to be in great pain and said, "Oh, I know I was wrong. Madam, let go."
Zhu Xiancai took back her hand and said with a smile: "Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense."
Normally, the words would have passed here, but today Luo Yi continued: "Xiancai, I am serious today."
"My relatives are all dead and I have nothing to worry about, but you still have a father who loves you and good brothers and sisters. Don't you think you won't have any contact with them in this life?"
"How come you are talking about this?" Zhu Xiancai said.
"Today we went to pick herbs. I heard one of the guards and another complain that they were sent here by Mu Sheng and would have to stay for at least three years. They couldn't watch their son grow up, and they felt bad."
"I just thought of you. You haven't contacted your relatives for more than two years. Although King Min sent people to see you, and Mu Sheng also came here in person, although they can be regarded as relatives to you, Hongwu Fifteenth
The King of Qi took over Qingzhou when he was young. You grew up in Qingzhou and have never met them a few times and have no family ties. How can you be compared with your parents, brothers and sisters."
"Besides, Mu Sheng sent someone over last time to tell us that your father has become a monk. Don't you want to know why?" Zhu Xiancai said.
"What else can there be? It's just that he felt deeply guilty after a rebellion, so he hid in a temple in an attempt to forgive himself." Zhu Xiancai was not polite when she commented on her father.
"And what about our wedding? You are thirteen this year, and we have agreed to get married when you are fifteen. We will have six ceremonies from next year. Who will be the mother-in-law then? The Tushe dragons here don't dare to climb up.
Even Mu Sheng from Kunming wouldn't dare." Luo Yi said again.
"You can invite Uncle Eighteen to come over. If he can't get away, Aunt Eighteen can come over; or you can invite brother Zanyi from Guilin, why is there no one?" Zhu Xiancai asked with some suspicion: "You are not willing to endure hardship.
Right? I want to go back to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness."
"Xiancai, if I, Luo Yi, are thinking about returning to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness, the sky will strike like lightning!" Luo Yi said.
Zhu Xiancai immediately said: "Why are you swearing?" and held his hand.
"I just want you to know how I feel," Luo Yi said: "I have no intention of going back to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness, but I miss my parents and brothers very much, and you should also miss your brothers and sisters."
Zhu Xiancai suddenly shed a few tears for some unknown reason, but said: "No, I don't want my brothers and sisters, as long as you are by my side."
