Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 323 The boy who came from afar
"Oh! It's already this hour before you know it. Mr. Zhu, please sit down for a while, and I'll cook right away. The two of you can have dinner at the boy's place tonight."

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Rushou hurriedly stopped the topic and stood up, saying that he was going to cook.

But Zhu Youjian raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, just be your brother and sister, and I should go back at this time, otherwise the family will be worried, so I will come to see you next time when I have time. "

Zhu Youjian stood up slowly as he spoke, stretched comfortably and then smiled.

Seeing that Mr. Zhu said that his family members would be worried, Li Rushou couldn't stay any longer, so he could only apologize and said: "That's fine, since the family is in a hurry, then Rushou won't keep Mr. Zhu. Next time, Mr. Zhu next time." Next time, Ru Shou Ding will be well prepared and treat you well.”

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded.

The little girl on the side grabbed the corner of Zhu Youjian's clothes reluctantly, raised her head and looked at Zhu Youjian reluctantly and said, "Brother Jian, are you going back?"

Li Rushou hurriedly said: "Ninny, it's getting late, Mr. Zhu is going home, don't make trouble, come back quickly."

Zhu Youjian waved his hands, knelt down and looked at the little girl with a smile and said, "Yes, Brother Jian is going home when it's getting dark, otherwise the family should be worried."

"Then...then when will Brother Jian come to see Nannan next time?"

The little girl also understands that she can't keep brother Jian, everyone has a home, and she will go home when it gets dark, and brother Jian will also go home.

So I asked about the time of the next meeting.

Zhu Youjian rubbed her little head and thought for a while before answering: "Brother Jian will come to see you after the last day of the Laba Festival."

"okay!"

After getting the answer she wanted, the little girl nodded happily.

After comforting the little girl, Zhu Youjian stood up with a smile, said goodbye to his brother and sister, and then left the yard. Under the watchful eyes of the little girl, he sat in a sedan chair and headed towards the palace.

After the sedan chair disappeared from the sight of the siblings and could no longer be seen, the little nannie counted with her fingers. Li Rushou asked curiously when she saw it, "Nannan, what are you counting?"

The little girl looked up at her brother innocently and asked, "Brother, Brother Jian said that he will come to see us the day before the Laba Festival, so when is the Laba Festival?"

Only then did Li Rushou realize that the little girl was thinking about this, and he shook his head amusedly, stretched out his hands and rubbed the little girl's head, and replied: "Laba Festival, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, today is the first day, after a while Seven days is the Laba Festival."

The little girl fiddled with her fingers immediately after hearing the words, and after a while she was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, I will see brother Jian again in just six days!"

"Well, that girl has to be good, otherwise my brother will tell Mr. Zhu that she is not good, so Mr. Zhu won't like the little girl, but everyone likes good children." Li Rushou frightened his younger sister.

The little girl glared at her brother angrily and said, "Huh! Smelly brother, bad brother, you are so obedient and you say that she is not good, you are too bad, I will ignore you!"

After finishing speaking, the little girl immediately gave her brother a big roll of the eyes, then turned around and trotted back to the yard.

Behind him, Li Rushou looked at his sister's leaving back, showed a warm smile, then pushed up the sleeves on both sides, closed the courtyard door, and walked towards the kitchen.

It's almost time, so if you don't cook anymore, you will have to light up the lights when it gets dark.

Nannan should be hungry too, do it quickly, don't starve my sister.

……

At this end, Zhu Youjian finally returned to the palace before the palace gate fell. When he came back, he saw Wei Zhongxian and rushed over to tell him: "Your Majesty, you elders have been waiting for a long time!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian understood why these people were still waiting for him at this point in time.

Presumably it was because of the snow.

Although there is a saying called auspicious snow heralds a good year.

But too much snow is not a good sign, and it is even more a disaster for the people whose homes have air leakage and do not have sufficient heating.

Today, the snow has been falling since last night until now. Luckily, people have been clearing the palace, and the main roads will also be cleared by city guards and street patrolling Marquis Wu, but in other places, the snow has already reached the depth of a person's knee. Well, this is no longer a good thing for the common people.

It involves the survival of so many people, so it's no wonder these elders have been waiting until now.

Although I had anticipated this situation and had already made arrangements, these elders didn't know about it, so I still wanted to meet them to give them peace of mind.

With concerns in his heart, Zhu Youjian immediately ordered: "Okay, where are the elders now, you can lead the way."

"Going back to the emperor, the elders of the pavilion were taken to Dongnuan Pavilion by the servants, and they are still there now."

"Then lead the way."

"Yes!"

In this way, under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youjian went to Dongnang Pavilion.

……

Dongcheng District, Yinbinfang.

Before the end of You hour, the sun had completely set, perhaps because of the winter, it always gets dark very quickly.

Fortunately, due to his quick action, Li Rushou had already prepared dinner and brought it to the table before the sun set.

Tonight's meal is very rich, big white steamed buns with spicy cabbage, steamed buns are white flour steamed buns, cabbage is sent by Zhu Youjian.

It is served with a bowl of hot egg drop soup, a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of vegetables, and then a mouthful of soup comfortably.

Hey, this day is for a god, and Li Rushou doesn't even want to change it!

In the past, the two brothers and sisters struggled to eat a full stomach, so there is no such a good life as today, so Li Rushou became more and more grateful to Zhu Youjian who helped the two brothers and sisters after eating.

The two brothers and sisters are eating happily.

suddenly!

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom...

Suddenly there was the sound of the door knocker hitting the door outside the yard. Is this someone knocking on the door?
The two brothers and sisters who were eating stopped, and Li Rushou even whispered, "It's almost here, who is here?"

I wanted to go back, but I still put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up to open the door.

After her brother left, the little girl thought about it, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and trotted after her brother. She also wanted to see the excitement. Who came to the door suddenly at such a late hour?
Soon, the door of Li's small courtyard was opened, and the brother and sister looked out, and they were all stunned!
Outside the door, stood a young man dressed in tattered clothes, his face was ashen but still very handsome.

Before the two brothers and sisters wondered who the boy was, they saw that the boy's eyes immediately showed excitement after seeing the two brothers and sisters.

The boy tremblingly stretched out his hand and took out half of a rusty copper lock from his bosom, and handed it to Li Rushou. The boy looked at Li Rushou excitedly and shouted: "Cousin! Yes, Jing! There is a severe drought at home, dad I died of starvation, and my father told Er about you before he died, and asked Er to take this and come to the capital to join you."

"Ah Jing?"

Li Rushou was stunned, and after a long pause, he suddenly figured it out. He took half of the copper lock piece from the young man in front of him, and then took out the plate from his arms to close it together. Finally, the two halves of the copper lock piece were tightly seamed into a complete piece. brass lock.

Immediately confirmed the identity of the boy in front of him.

This is the son of my second uncle, my cousin, Li Rujing who is only nine years old this year!
My second uncle actually starved to death!And my cousin, a nine-year-old doll, came to the capital from Shaanxi alone. Just thinking about how difficult the journey is, how many dangers and difficulties we have to go through, makes people shudder!

God is blessing this kid to come here!
With a look of pity in his eyes, Li Rushou hurriedly took the young man's hand: "Ah Jing, hurry up! Come in and have something to eat, this journey must be difficult, you must be starving!"

Feeling his cousin's care, Li Rujing, who has gone through all kinds of hardships all the way without shedding a single tear, couldn't bear it any longer. The tears fell into his cousin's arms and burst into tears. : "Woooooo! Brother! Woooooo..."

……

　Hey, have you guessed who this boy is?Do you want Piaoxue to remind me?
　　Li Rujing, courtesy name Ningyu, is from Shaanxi.

　　Chongzhen changed his name and surname in three years and was accepted as a foster son by his adoptive father. He went through ups and downs all the way, and later became the jade pillar of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was regarded as the backbone of central Yunnan by the people of central Yunnan!
