First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 262 Getting Ready to Return to Beijing
Zhu Biao sympathizes with the suffering people, but he does not have hope for their humanity, let alone naively think that those who come out of suffering will be more considerate of the people at the bottom, maybe they will do more than that, it is not necessarily true, after all, it is suffering It's been too long, and I can't resist the sweetness at all.

Zhu Biao smiled and stroked the little milk cat in his arms and said, "If you grow up to be a tiger, will you still let those cats step on you?"

Zhu Biao walked out of the yard listening to the meowing. It was amazing how the Jiangnan gardens changed from place to place. He hadn't walked a few steps, but when he looked at it calmly, it was a completely different feeling.

Behind him, Liu Jin followed step by step, thinking that the crown prince actually likes cats and dogs, and he should try to find a good one after he can return to Beijing. It is rare for him to have fun, so naturally Liu Jin should do his best. There is a falconer...

Zhu Biao took a few steps and said: "Let those who are secretly protecting pay attention, this is the back residence of the Chen family."

Liu Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and then he understood. It seems that His Highness intends to accept Miss Chen's family into the palace. After a quick promise, he made a gesture, and a voice of promise came from the dark.

After walking not far away, the sound of the qin and the flute began to play again in the small courtyard in the distance. It seemed that the ladies from all sides wanted to fly up the branches and become a phoenix. Find out?
It's not about marrying a princess, as long as Zhu Biao is happy to accept that, it's the same, and the Chen family won't have any objection, as long as he has this attitude, Chen Zhifu can be promoted if he enters the Ministry of Education in the future.

Zhu Biao shook his head, he was not in the mood to choose which color to choose right now, since he wanted to promote the Chen family, it would be better for him to accept the professed daughter of the prefect of Chen, otherwise he would not be worthy of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

I just walked to a pavilion by a pond, which extends from the shore into the pond like an isolated island. The weeping willows on the side are half-hidden, which is very interesting. You can see the school of fish constantly surging in the pond near the railing Red, yellow, and white, they all rushed over when they saw people coming, wagging their tails and opening their mouths as if they wanted to grab food.

Zhu Biao looked interesting, the little milk cat in his arms meowed in fear at first, its little paws tightly hooked Zhu Biao's skirt and kept shrinking back, as if seeing some monster, I don't know if it was afraid of water or this school of fish.

Liu Jin was originally speaking auspicious words, and suddenly saw Mrs. Chen leading Miss Chen's family past in the distance, apparently heading towards His Highness's courtyard, and hurriedly said in a soft voice: "Master, Mrs. Chen has passed, look It looks like they are going to visit you, are the servants going to call them?"

Zhu Biao turned his head and took a look when he heard the words, Mrs. Chen couldn't see it, but the maids following behind were all carrying food boxes, and he was the only one in this house who could let the old lady deliver the food himself, so he nodded,

After Liu Jin got the order, she hurried a few steps to call for someone. They probably didn't know that the crown prince was out for a walk, or maybe they didn't dare to go straight to the crown prince even if they knew about it. The qualifications of the master trend.

Zhu Biao went to the stone bench and sat down, and then he noticed that there was also engraved on the stone table "Zhuangzi and Huizi swim on the bridge of Hao, the debate about the joy of fish" is not only the original text but also pictures, and it really is everywhere. It's a surprise.

After a while, Liu Jin led a group of Mrs. Chen to come. The old lady not only brought her daughter-in-law but also her granddaughter. When a group of people arrived at the pavilion, they knelt down to say hello. Zhu Biao waved Liu Jin to help Mrs. Chen. After all, he is too old.

After the rest of the people saluted, Zhu Biao asked them to get up. Mrs. Chen walked into the pavilion and said with a smile, "I heard that His Highness hasn't eaten yet. This means that my Chen residence has not entertained you well. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhu Biao handed the kitten to Liu Jin and said with a smile: "The old lady is too polite, I don't feel hungry yet."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand lovingly and said: "Your Highness is growing up, even if you are not hungry, you should eat more. Besides, I heard that you have received many people just now, so you just need to spend more time."

The maids on one side hurriedly opened the food box and took out a series of delicate dishes from it, and lightly placed them on the stone table. On the other side, Liu Jin hugged the cat and looked into the distance, until someone came out and made a gesture, Liu Jin Only at ease.

Just as Zhu Biao was about to say that he had to wash his hands after holding the cat, a maid walked over quickly holding a basin. Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, took a few mouthfuls of chopsticks after washing his hands.

Mrs. Chen smiled and winked at Miss Chen, she stood up with a blushing face and walked to Zhu Biao's side to serve him with her own hands. She was dressed in a moon-white brocade embroidered with Suzhou embroidery. She looked pretty and elegant, and Zhu Biao Biao raised his eyebrows and didn't refuse.

This way the atmosphere is more harmonious. Mrs. Chen led the maids back with a smile, while Mrs. Chen was talking homely. Zhu Biao nodded from time to time, and then concentrated on eating. Ms. Chen was a little surprised, she didn't expect His Highness to be so can eat.

Mrs. Chen was very happy. As long as it is not a poor family, it is a good thing for boys to eat. After eating, Zhu Biao smiled at Miss Chen, and the young girl's tender cheeks turned redder. There seemed to be a cloud of misty rain from the south of the Yangtze River in the clear eyes, hazy and moist.

Standing up, he untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her. Liu Jin's face turned bitter. He thought he would give it when he left tomorrow. This negligence forgot to replace the jade pendant around His Highness's waist with a specially made one. Approved, the one worn today is His Highness's favorite.

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and Miss Chen's family was even more at a loss. A young lady like her, not to mention other men, even rarely saw her own father and brother after the age of eight, and looked at her grandmother nervously.

Mrs. Chen said softly: "Silly girl, why don't you kneel down and thank His Highness for your reward?"

Miss Chen naturally understood, she glanced at the smiling Zhu Biao and knelt down, then raised her hands above her head: "My daughter Chen Yunqing thanked Your Highness for the reward."

Zhu Biao put the jade pendant on his white and tender palm, and then said to Mrs. Chen: "I will go back to have a rest, and the old lady will not have to come to deliver the meal in person at night. If the prefect Chen comes back and asks him to come see me .”

After speaking, she went straight away, Mrs. Chen sent her off respectfully and helped her granddaughter up with a smile: "You are a lucky one, as long as you are safe and sound in the future."

After Zhu Biao returned to the house, he asked Liu Jin to get him another jade pendant. As the saying goes, a good gentleman has no reason, and the jade does not get rid of him. This is what he likes. Whether it is collecting jade pendants or giving jade pendants, it is a lot of fun.

When Xu Yungong and Chang Mao came to ask for instructions in the evening, Zhu Biao let them go directly without further instructions. It is estimated that outstanding young people from various families will also attend the banquet tonight, but this level does not require Zhu Biao to go in person.

If someone is really capable, he will naturally be able to walk in front of him, and it will not be too late to get to know him. There are only a few positions in front of Zhu Biao, and there is nothing else to talk about.
