Daming heir

Chapter 560 Hongwu 28th November [-]th
Dark night.

I don't know how many people there are, and they can't sleep at midnight.

bass.

Inside the room, Zhu Yunwen sat up from the bed with staring bright eyes.

"He must be sick!"

After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand what the third child meant when he came to him tonight and said such words.

Must be crazy.

Zhu Yunwen, who was not sleepy, had bloodshot eyes, and looked back at Qiuniang, who was sleeping peacefully, with a warm smile on his face.

Zhu Yunwen's fingers brushed through Qiuniang's hair, and pressed the bedding for her, before he lay down again.

For what will happen tomorrow, Zhu Yunqi began to hypnotize himself.

Silent all night.

The next day is dawn.

Taiyuan City woke up amidst the white smoke all over the city.

In the streets and alleys, there are those businessmen who drive their stalls out of the street to provide bowls of hot food for the people in Taiyuan City.

When it snows in winter, rich people can hide at home and warm themselves by the fire, but all living beings still need to be busy with their daily work.

The snow on the street can't survive at all, it will be trampled by people's feet and disappear after dawn.

In front of the small courtyards, the common people, young and old, hold shovels to clear the snow, clearing a way for the family to go out.

On the streets and alleys, the boilers of the stalls tumbling with water vapor exude a tempting fragrance.

Zhang Hui, just like in the past, put a thick long padded jacket on his long gown, walked outside from his hiding place in Taiyuan City, and followed the familiar route to the road not far from the Li Mansion compound where many people in the city gathered. Street vendors.

It was still where the tea stand was originally located, but the old man stopped making tea after the snowfall in winter, but rushed to the earliest time every day to put several ingredients that Zhang Hui knew or didn't know in a pot Cook it, then add chili.

It's such a pot of mushy stuff, when the lid is uncovered after cooking, the rich and inspirational aroma will always open up the taste buds of all passers-by.

It only costs three pennies to fill a bowl.With two pancakes, the total is five Wen.

This day is considered full.

"Old rules, two bowls of soup, four cakes."

There are fewer people on the street today, probably because people have discovered that Taiyuan City can no longer come in and out at will these days. People can always be keenly aware of some differences, and choose to stay at home honestly, or Buy food to eat at home.

Zhang Hui found a shelter from the wind and sat down where he could see the Li Mansion compound from a distance, took out ten copper coins from his arms, and patted them on the table.

The old man pursed his lips, looking at Zhang Hui with high and low eyes, which was somewhat contemptuous.

But business still needs to be done. With so many grandchildren in my family, I always have to pick out one or two qualified ones and send them to the school to study.

The old man made arrangements very quickly, took the tray and delivered the two bowls of soup and four cakes that Zhang Hui asked for.

When the tray was withdrawn from the table, the ten copper coins also disappeared.

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat all day long. I don't see how much work you do, how much money you earn, and you eat more than others."

The old man was running on habitually, and he probably hoped that Zhang Hui would have more ambition to work hard to make money.

Zhang Hui moved his mouth, he had long been used to such an inconsistency towards the old man: "Then you return the money to me, and I will go to the front to eat at Old Man Liu's."

"Don't!" The old man was anxious, and stared: "Old man Liu's cooked food can be eaten? It's not that he can't eat it, even if the old man is here, he will lose."

Suck, suck.

Zhang Hui hummed and nodded, and had already started to drink the first bowl of soup.

After half a bowl of soup, I started to nibble on the cake, and the whole cake went into my stomach after three or two mouthfuls, and then I drank a few more mouthfuls of soup, and the second cake also went into my stomach.

Zhang Hui didn't drink the first bowl of soup until the two cakes were in his stomach.

Afterwards, he slowly tore the remaining two cakes apart, tore them into small pieces, and threw them into the second bowl of soup.

At this time, Zhang Hui had the time to talk to the old man.

"Left and right are just to fill your stomach, as long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter what it tastes like."

The old man pursed his lips, and looked down on this bastard even more: "You are a boar who can't eat chaff!"

After all, the old man saw that there were probably not many customers on the street, so he hung the rag on his shoulders and sat sideways opposite Zhang Hui.

"Tell me, I've earned some money these days, have you entered any rich family to tell stories?" The old man frowned, and persuaded him in a low voice: "It will be the end of the year in a month or so, so I still have to earn some money." money to take home.

The old man looks at your age, there must be more than one child in the family.There are old and young and there are young ones. You can't let the whole family go hungry for the New Year, right? "

The old man is fine with everything.

The brewed tea is not as rough as the roadside tea stalls, and the warming food in winter is also delicious, and it is quite simple and compassionate to the family.

The only downside is that it talks too much.

Long winded.

"I can feed the whole family alone without worrying about it."

Zhang Hui said lightly. At this time, the two cakes had been torn by him, and he began to turn them in the soup bowl with a spoon.

The old man's expression changed slightly, this was the first time the young man in front of him mentioned his origin.

I couldn't help but feel regret and pity in my heart.

The old man moaned for quite a while before he opened his mouth again and said, "That will take more effort. If you earn more money now, go back to your hometown to build a house, and buy a few acres of land, you can always marry To the mother-in-law, gave birth to a few boys.

Although one person is full and the whole family does not have to worry about it, they live comfortably.But when you get older, you feel lonely.

This person must have something to worry about, otherwise he will be like that rootless duckweed, always floating on the water, who knows where he will be washed away by the water tomorrow. "

Zhang Hui's eyes flickered, he sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I'm not suitable for having a family."

What I do is to destroy my morality. If I really have a family in this life, it should be a disaster for my family.

Although most of the people in the yamen are cold-faced and ruthless people, the blood in their hearts is still hot. Over the years, many brothers have had to retire due to various reasons, but everyone also helps them from time to time, so they are not lonely.

He spoke in a low voice, but the old man could hear clearly.

He opened his mouth and didn't speak again.In a blink of an eye, the previous ten copper plates reappeared on the table.

"Something's not right in the city these days. When the stall is closed today, the old man will stay at home and wait for the Chinese New Year tomorrow. Today's dinner is considered an invitation to you, and I don't know if I can see you after the New Year is over. "

The old man sighed for no reason.

However, Zhang Hui pushed the copper coin in front of the old man: "I am not short of money, and I have to go to the Prince Jin's Mansion to tell a story tonight. The steward agreed, and I will give you enough money. After finishing this order, I will not be in Taiyuan City anymore."

"Prince Jin's Mansion?"

The old man was a little puzzled, but he just glanced at the copper plate that was pushed in front of him on the table, but he didn't move. Instead, he regained his original temper and said, "With your appearance, those merchants in the city don't invite you If you go to storytelling, the Prince Jin’s Mansion can call you to tell the story? You don’t know what the Prince Jin’s Mansion is going to do today?”

"Don't you look down on me?" Zhang Hui slurped the mixture of soup and cakes in the bowl, raised his head and stared at the old man: "I wish you a long life, old man, and you have to worry about your great-grandson after you're done with your grandson's work." , great-great-grandchildren!"

The old man raised his chin a little arrogantly: "That's the old man's ability. Seriously, are you really going to the Jin Palace tonight?"

Best, the tsundere old man stared at Zhang Hui with a solemn expression.

Zhang Hui nodded: "Why did you lie to you? Do you want to close the stall now, and I will take you to the palace tonight?"

The old man's eyes widened, a little unbelievable: "You were really called over by someone from the Jin Palace?"

Zhang Hui couldn't help laughing: "Close the stall, I'll help you take it home, and I'll call you when the night comes. I've made an agreement with you, I can't bring your grandchildren in, and I can only take you as a gift." Help."

It is impossible for Taiyuan City to be peaceful today, it is better to get this long-winded but always heart-warming old man back home earlier.

The old man squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Hui silently for a long time.

Finally, under Zhang Hui's suspicious eyes, the old man suddenly leaned in front of him and whispered, "You must be a storyteller, right?"

Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, but his heart suddenly became tense.

The old man laughed: "Look at you, you are just a storyteller, otherwise what else would you be."

After all, the old man also stood up and started to pack up his booth.

"We're not going to do business today. Let's go to Old Man Liu's to eat. His food is better than the old man's."

Zhang Hui took the time to pick the food in the bowl into his mouth, while the old man had already started to pack up, and when a customer came to him, he waved to the old man Liu's booth in the distance.

When Zhang Hui had just finished eating, the old man's voice came over.

"Have you finished eating? Hurry up and don't delay my going home to hold my grandson."

Zhang Hui rolled his eyes, put the copper plate on the table into his sleeve, took the bowl to the old man's boiler, filled a ladle of water, rinsed the bowl and spoon and put it in the basket, and began to help the old man tidy up Get up the booth.

He looked at the busy old man, and knew in his heart that the old man had noticed something strange and understood that he was not a storyteller.

But this old man.

Really, the older you get, the more refined you become.

"This is the old man's home, you have to remember, don't forget to come and pick up the old man to go around the palace at night. I have never even entered the yamen in this life, so I never imagined that I would still have the opportunity to visit the palace."

Outside a certain courtyard in the city, the old man put his own stall in a corner, pulled Zhang Hui and whispered, with joy and anticipation on his face.

Zhang Hui nodded: "Don't worry, wait for me to come and find you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hui exited the yard and watched the old man enter the inner room.

Only then did he reach the base of the wall, reach out and take out a silver ingot from his pocket and throw it away.

There was a bang in the courtyard.

The silver ingot fell into the old man's pile of things.

After doing all this, Zhang Hui was relieved.

There are no eggs under the covering nest.

Tonight's Taiyuan City does not know what kind of chaos will happen, what kind of chaos will occur.

The old man is an honest man. He has been a good man all his life. He shouldn't have lost his good family before his grandson grows up and starts a family.

When he walked out of the alley where the old man's house was located, two subordinates were already waiting at the entrance of the alley.

Zhang Hui suppressed the bamboo hat on his head, and said in a low voice, "Send two people to watch over here tonight, so that nothing happens."

The subordinates who were waiting here were a little puzzled, the Baihuguan didn't seem like such a compassionate person.

However, Jinyiwei's interior is the most disciplined and strict, with clear hierarchy.

The two immediately nodded: "This subordinate understands."

When the three of them walked to the main street in the city, they saw that it was already very lively.

Even though Taiyuan City was currently sealed off by the emperor's grandson, the official government office in Taiyuan City still paid enough attention to the birthday of King Jin's Mansion.

There are lights and festoons everywhere on the street, as if celebrating the new year ahead of time.

Today is also a beautiful day with no clouds in the sky.

The bright red lanterns were hung high, and they lined up on both sides of the street all the way to the majestic Prince Jin Mansion.

It was just after noon at this time, and officials, gentry, and merchants in the city had already started driving carriages, sending carts of congratulatory gifts to Prince Jin's mansion.

Too many people, too many gifts.

As a result, congestion began to appear in some areas of the city.

The three of Zhang Hui were walking close to the side of the road, and he suddenly said: "The wife of Wen Feiren is also pregnant, and I don't know what will happen in the city tonight, so let's send someone over to watch it, so there won't be any surprises."

"Subordinates obey."

After telling the matter, Zhang Hui was relieved.

"Let's go, let's go to Prince Jin's Mansion and wait."

……

Outside Taiyuan City.

While patrolling the north in the Chinese army's large tent in the camp, Zhu Yunxie had already changed into the bright yellow uniform that the old man rewarded him for a rare occasion.

Outside the account, some of the selected civil and military officials have assembled with a group of thousands of households under the leadership of the cabinet ministers Gao Yangzhi and Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen.

in the account.

Zhu Yunxi, who rarely wears such a suit, opened his arms and let Tian Mai serve him to tie the jade belt on him.

"Send someone to watch at the other end of the secret passage, and nothing will happen before tonight."

Tian Mai nodded: "I have already arranged the manpower, just wait for the signal from Jin Palace tonight, and the army in the battalion can rush into Taiyuan City."

"Where are the three guards and horses of Third Uncle Jin's Palace now?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at himself in the bronze mirror with deep eyes, and asked in a low voice.

Without hesitation, Tian Mai said, "The news was sent this morning that the three guards of Prince Jin's Mansion have arrived near Qizi Mountain, only forty or fifty miles away from Taiyuan City."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "So we can go outside the city tonight."

Tian Mai hummed, and repeated worriedly: "When the signal is sent out from the city tonight, the Zhenyuan Gate will come up with a written order prepared in advance to take over the Zhenyuan Gate.

Regardless of what happens in the city tonight, His Highness can no longer go into battle in person, and the ministers will swear to the death to protect His Highness' safety. "

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dim.

But he nodded his head very simply.

"Don't worry! I will never put myself in danger!"
