Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 53

A group of little princes who were not familiar with Zhu Ji were instantly dumbfounded.

Never expected that this new big brother would be so brave.

He even dared to hate his father, isn't he afraid of the soles of his father's shoes?

The ruthless reality soon told them that being the eldest brother does have privileges.Zhu Yuanzhang did not lift his left foot and take off his short boots as they thought, but just stood there, cursing unhappily as before:

"Why don't you hurry up and help your mother to walk inside when so many people say stupid things."

Hearing these words, the little princes were a little curious, and some looked enviously at Zhu Ji's playful smile and approached Empress Ma, who had been watching their conversation with a smile.

They knew that this episode had just passed without pain or itching.

The family's destination is the eating hall of this palace.

Although the size of the Prince Wu's Mansion is not as good as before, but from the main entrance to the eating hall, he still crossed the third courtyard, and after walking about a mile, Zhu Ji could smell the faint smell of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

In the dining hall, the royal chef Xu Xingzu brought up a carefully cooked braised three things, officially announcing the beginning of the family feast.

Although it was a royal family banquet, the dishes were not as luxurious as Zhu Ji imagined.

Seven dishes and three soups, the most precious material is the last stewed three things.Sea cucumber, abalone and shark's fin are slowly stewed together with fat chicken and tendons. The meat is crispy and the soup is thick and delicious.

Others such as steamed shad, stir-fried water spinach, fried bean sprouts with eggs, edamame curd, taro soup, etc. Although they are not home-cooked dishes of ordinary people, they can be seen every New Year's festival.

After being seated in order of seniority, Zhu Yuanzhang happily picked up chopsticks for Zhu Ji, his favorite braised three things.

"We have someone specially dispatched from Guanglu Temple, you have a taste."

Lord Guorui is a real person.

Although the bastard Zhu Ji made him lose face just now, this chopstick dish is really tight.

The soft and rotten tendons were still shaking in the bowl, and the sea cucumber and shark's fin were wrapped in the oily luster of the soup, as if they were waving to Zhu Ji.

It is the first time I have seen sea cucumber and shark fin Zhu Ji of such quality.But looking at the six princes on the table who kept swallowing their saliva with burning eyes, one can see that even if it is the royal family, this stuff is not easy to get.

Seeing the six and a half kids staring at his bowl greedily, Zhu Ji grinned at Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Old man, there's no need to favor one over the other when it comes to a meal. Or, let me do it for you, the old man, for your mother and the seven younger brothers?"

The couple were secretly satisfied with Zhu Ji's easygoing and friendliness.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang nodding his head in agreement, Zhu Ji stopped being polite, and took bamboo chopsticks to put each of the three stewed dishes in the bowls of the other eight people, especially Zhu Zhen and Zhu Mi, who were the youngest. He even picked a few pieces from his own bowl and filled it.

Fair and unselfish.

After all, she was extremely fond of and satisfied with the eldest son from the bottom of her heart, so Empress Ma also saw the goodness of her eldest son from an ordinary snack.

"Okay, now everyone has it in their bowls, so you don't have to blame your father for being partial. The food is getting cold, so hurry up and eat."

Seeing Empress Ma's eyes lingering on that bastard, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive:

"I know how to use my things as favors."

Scolding is scolding, you still have to eat.Zhu Yuanzhang took a piece of glutinous tendon from the bowl, took a bite, and suddenly felt a sweetness in the meat that he had never tasted before.

Well, it is indeed my cub's dish, it is really delicious.

Zhu Ji, who had no idea that his own father was so arrogant, took a bite of the shark's fin. The crisp taste and slightly sour taste in the salty freshness instantly stimulated the secretion of saliva in the mouth and sent it into the throat.

Well, it does taste good.

But without buying and selling, there is no harm.Not to mention that this dish destroys the ecological balance of the ocean, it is also a waste of people and money, Zhu Ji made up his mind to warn the emperor to eat as little as possible later.

If you have to eat, make sure he remembers to call himself.

Apparently, the special chef of Guo Ruiye is a sensible person, knowing that Lao Zhu's family is rich in big-bellied men, so the seven dishes and three soups are full of weight.

The younger brothers did not give Zhu Ji the glorious opportunity to popularize CDs to them. It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a humble background, was well educated on the point of frugal food.

Having enough tea and food, Zhu Xun and the six were allowed to play in the garden by themselves. Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma brought Zhu Ji and Zhu Biao back to the first yard.

Looking at the deserted courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of the hustle and bustle of people here.

"This used to be our yamen gate, but later when we became the king of Wu, the people below said that we wanted to build a Taoist gate in front of it to prevent prying eyes. Then it became the place where the Zhongshu Provincial Committee discusses politics."

Stepping into the second courtyard, there is only one hall covered with bright yellow glazed tiles in the wide courtyard.

"This used to be our palace."

"Back then, the great defeat of Chen Han and the great victory of Pingjiang were the strategies set here. It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. From now on, you two brothers, one in the old house and the other in the East Palace, must watch and help each other. This will not be in vain. Thinking about the country in exchange for it."

This is the place Zhu Yuanzhang is most proud of. Standing at the gate of the main hall, facing the bright sunshine, the lord of the world proudly and emotionally told his two sons behind him.

Although he can still be called young and vigorous now, Zhu Ji's appearance brought him great surprises, and also made him have a lot of worries.

Putting the two in the same position, Zhu Yuanzhang had to remind the two repeatedly that they must watch and help each other, instead of repeating the mistakes of the Tang king as Liu Bowen reminded him.

How could Zhu Ji fail to understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant? He glanced at Zhu Biao who was standing respectfully, and then looked at Empress Ma who was standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, who was looking back at him. Zhu Ji took the conversation with a smile:

"Don't worry, the old Zhu family's world will definitely flourish in the hands of our generation."

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little happy.

But soon he tasted it.

In the hands of their generation, it means that they will not be responsible in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who came to his senses, glared at Zhu Ji angrily, and quickly spat into the air:

"You bastard, you don't have any good things to say. What does it mean to be prosperous in the hands of your generation. What we want is a long-lasting country with generations to come."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang who was delusional like this, Zhu Ji didn't speak again.

The country is long and long, with generations of descendants.

What a realistic yet unrealistic dream.

How could the torrent of history ensure that a dynasty lasted for such a long time.

Even if there is an accident like myself, if you can fill up all the loopholes you think of, how many years can the history of Ming Dynasty be extended?

However, seeing such a Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ji felt a little unwilling in his heart.
