The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 29 Zhu Ying's Defense

"Grandpa, have you eaten earlier?"

Zhu Ying asked the old man with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I didn't rush here just to eat your breakfast."

Zhu Ying said helplessly: "Old man, look at what time it is, it's already sold out."

"When I didn't say it last time, I arranged for someone to notify me in advance, so I can reserve it."

"If you like it, you can leave an address, and I'll send it to you as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words and argued: "It's early, of course it's delicious when it's hot out of the oven. When your people deliver it, it's cold and there's no taste at all."

Zhu Ying paused slightly.

Good guy,
Do you already know about food delivery?

Immediately ordered the housekeeper: "Arrange the cook, and make a few more and come earlier."

"Yes, Master."

After Zhu Ying finished explaining, she said to the old man, "It may take a while."

"It's okay, let's not rush, just wait slowly."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is not here earlier.

As an emperor, he has never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas.

This time I came here just to meet my grandson.Ever since he knew that his eldest grandson had appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang kept talking about it even when he was going to bed at night.

If it weren't for the fact that the prince died of illness earlier, he hadn't been in court for a while, and the government affairs were piled up.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to wait two days to deal with urgent affairs before coming here.

Now just seeing the eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that all the exhaustion in his body had disappeared, and his whole body was full of cleanliness.

"Old man, I think you are quite busy too, I guess you just came out early after morning."

"I don't know what kind of errand the old man is in the palace."

Zhu Ying asked.

In Ming Dynasty, asking about other people's official position was not rude, but a kind of respect.

Appellation is the most basic etiquette, and it is very impolite to call people by their names.

Zhu Ying learned that Zhu Yuanzhang called himself Zhu Guorui.

If you call him respectfully, it's Mr. Zhu.

To be kinder, it is to call the old man directly.

If you call the old man.

That is equivalent to cursing in later generations.

Even ordinary old people will politely call out that they are old people.

If there is an official title, it is called the official title.

For example, Huang Zicheng, who was studying with the Eastern Palace, was a Hanlin bachelor, and his colleagues called him Huang Hanlin to show respect and politeness.

Hearing the eldest grandson's question, Zhu Yuanzhang was also unambiguous, and said directly: "We are just a small official. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, we have been given the title of Grand Scholars."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying was in awe.

A bachelor of the Diange University, an official of the fifth rank, this rank is really nothing in the capital.

But the content of the position is equivalent to the emperor's secretary, who helps the emperor handle government affairs and has a respected status.

Except for the six ministers of Zheng Erpin, other officials are not able to meet His Majesty every day.

Moreover, Diange University Bachelors are generally selected from the Imperial Academy to serve as Hanlin Bachelors with sufficient experience.

At present, during the Hongwu period, he was still suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang and had little power.

But in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Di developed into a cabinet, he was almost equivalent to a prime minister, and it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand.

"The younger generation is rude." Zhu Ying got up, bowed slightly and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "My father and I are not so particular, but your behavior makes us feel a little alien."

"Okay, listen to the old man." Zhu Ying said with a smile, at this moment he also felt the closeness of the old man to him.

Although it may be because he looks like his grandson.

"We heard that your hometown is Huai'an?" Zhu Yuanzhang tried to ask.

Zhu Ying became a little vigilant, he didn't have Huaixi's accent, so to be able to ask such a question must have done an investigation on his identity.

"That's right, I'm from Huaixi. It's just that I've been doing business with my father since I was a child, and I rarely go home."

Hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang keenly felt Zhu Ying's sensitivity.

Just smiled heartily, and said directly: "You child, you are too vigilant, we did go to the Yamen to investigate."

"It's just that you and our grandson who died young are really too similar."

Zhu Ying didn't expect the old man to be so grand, and he didn't hide such things, so he said it on the spot.

Zhu Ying, who had some gaps at first, was relieved all of a sudden, and her favorability for the old man increased a lot.

"Please don't take offense, old man. I have lived in barbaric places like grasslands for a long time. I just arrived in the capital not long ago, and my temperament may not have changed all of a sudden."

Zhu Ying said frankly, since he has been investigated.Things about the grassland will definitely be known.

And there are Jurchens in his teahouse.

Although they all speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, and even entered the Daming household registration.

But those with a heart can easily detect it.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed a little.

His eldest grandson didn't know how much he had suffered before he made a fortune on the grassland.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the hardships of being able to meet myself today.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself has come through hard times, and he understands the difficulties and sufferings better than anyone else.

Especially on the grassland where jackals are everywhere.

The grassland does not pay attention to the etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame of the Ming Dynasty. It is completely the law of the jungle. Zhu Yuanzhang has a deep understanding of this.

"It's hard for you child."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said with some tears.

In his opinion, the eldest grandson, who was supposed to be a nobleman by nature, was living such a miserable life not to mention living abroad. Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little choked up when he thought of the memory of his eldest grandson acting like a baby in his arms.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying frowned slightly.

He felt that the old man now regarded him as his grandson.

However, he didn't like this feeling.

This feeling is like cheating the old man.

Just seeing the state of the old man, Zhu Ying felt a little unbearable.

Although Zhu Ying wanted to use the old man's idea in his heart, he was not ashamed to use deception to achieve his goal.

In this life, Zhu Ying has done many things that she has not done in her previous life.

To be able to grow to the level of a hero today, some shady methods are naturally inevitable.

But so far, he has always adhered to the bottom line and principles of being a man.

Sensing Zhu Ying's silence, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted.

There is some loss in his heart, the feeling of being close to his grandparents that Zhu Yuanzhang urgently needs now.

But he felt Zhu Ying's defense.

"When people are old, they always like to recall the past, but don't dislike us as an old man." Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

"What's the old man talking about? I'm just afraid that the old man will be disappointed." Zhu Ying replied.

How clever Zhu Yuanzhang is, he immediately understood what Zhu Ying meant.

I also want to say a few words to ease it.

It was at this time that the servant downstairs came up with breakfast.

"What is it that smells so fragrant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but speak.

He has been ignoring that Jin Yiwei was able to find Zhu Ying because of the delicious breakfast.
