Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 178
It was getting dark after the banquet, and the guests left the banquet for the first time after drinking and eating, still reciting the song "Yijianmei", both thoughtful and admiring.

The Zhu brothers had made an appointment to rest at the Prince's Mansion tonight, but before leaving, Xu Yungong actually walked up to Zhu Su: "Your Highness Fifth."

"My mother invites Your Highness to come to the back house to talk about it."

Zhu Su was taken aback for a moment, and the other brothers all cast ambiguous glances at him.The mistress of the Xu family invited her to the back house for a talk. Although the Zhu family and the Xu family are good friends, the back house is not so easy to set foot in.After all, there is still etiquette.

Calling Zhu Su to the back house directly means that Zhu Su is already regarded as a junior in the family.

As for what to talk about, what else is there besides Xu Miaoyun's matter?
"Let's go, fifth brother. Let's go back to the eldest brother to warm up the bed first!" Zhu Laosi poked Zhu Su's arm with a wicked smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you don't come back..."

Zhu Su rolled his eyes and ignored him.He glanced at Zhu Biao resentfully again.Zhu Biao had a funny face, but still pretended not to see Zhu Su's resentment, and called his brothers to leave the table and go back to the house, allowing Xu Yungong to lead Zhu Su to the back corner door.

"I hope His Highness will treat my sister well."

When passing through the hanging flower gate, Xu Yungong suddenly said something to Zhu Su in a low voice.Zhu Su was taken aback, but couldn't laugh or cry.

When this sister-in-law heard the rumors before, she came to Zhu Su aggressively to "question".This song "One Cut Plum Blossom Rain Beats the Pear Blossom Closed Closed" is really amazing. Xu Yungong was moved by it and started to support this marriage.

The two walked through the room and came to a pavilion in the back garden of Xu Mansion.Wind lamps are hung at the four corners of the pavilion, illuminating the whole pavilion as if it were in daylight.

The mistress of the Xu family, Mrs. Xie, was sitting in the pavilion, besides Xu Zengshou, the second son who was looking at Zhu Su adoringly, there were two other women beside her.Among them, the girl who looked at her curiously must be Xu Miaojin, the second daughter of the Xu family.

And the other girl with reddish cheeks was Xu Miaoyun who had already had a relationship with her.

"Zhu Su met Aunt Xu's family." They met in private, so naturally they didn't call themselves titles.

"Oh, Your Highness Fifth, my son, come and sit down!" Just now, I saw Zhu Su "showing his holiness in front of people", and saw Zhu Su calling him "Auntie". If you are satisfied, you will call your son-in-law directly.

The two families are family friends, she and Empress Ma were still called sisters a few years ago, Xu Yungong and Xu Zengshou's names were all given by Lao Zhu himself.Mrs. Xie called Zhu Su to sit down. "Come on, Your Majesty the Fifth Highness, you haven't had enough to eat just now, so I bought another table in the back house."

"I heard that you are also good at cooking in private. The empress and princess's cooking skills are more guided by you. The restaurant at Huangzhuang even compares to Yingtian's restaurant. I don't know if the dishes I cook are good. It's not to your taste." Just now seeing her leave the table early, she actually went to cook for Zhu Su herself.

Zhu Su was really flattered by this, and didn't even dare to shout.However, Mrs. Xie's enthusiasm was astonishing. After a while, a large bowl of food was piled up in front of Zhu Su.On the contrary, Xu Yungong, who was sitting next to Zhu Su, greeted and sent off the guests who had been with him all day, and now he didn't even have a bowl of rice in front of him, and was completely ignored by his own mother.

Zhu Su even said that enough is enough, and after a while of politeness, Xie Shifang who was busy serving Zhu Su food stopped.She glanced at Zhu Su, who had a face like a crown of jade, and then at the eldest daughter beside her, and nodded in satisfaction.He opened the mouth and said, "My son, I have the audacity to ask you to come here because of some idle business."

"Your knowledge is praised by my master and Yun Gong. Zeng Shou and Miao Jin have reached the age of studying. If you have leisure on weekdays."

"You might as well come around the mansion more often, teach these two children some tricks, and let them get a taste of culture."

"By the way, Miao Yun has always admired your knowledge. Her child likes to study in the house on weekdays. She also likes to think about your knowledge that Yun Gong brought back."

"If you are free, you can also teach her by the way. Miao Yun really likes the song "Plum Cutting" just now..."

Xu Miaoyun, who was already lowering her head, turned even redder. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Zhu Su. Xie smiled and said, "Are you shy? I always want to go to Bifeng Mountain with Yungong on weekdays, so I'll call someone for you today." Come on, why don't you talk?"

Xu Miaoyun bit her lower lip and glanced at her mother.On weekdays, she looked like a lady with a dignified and generous appearance, but she had never seen such a state of mild anger and little anger.

"Your Highness's talent and learning, Miao Yun has always admired." Although she was shy, but she was not an ordinary woman after all, Xu Miaoyun still insisted and bowed to Zhu Su. "Miaoyun does have a lot of ambiguities about the science called 'physics'."

"If His Highness can teach you face to face, Miao Yun will be grateful."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhu Su returned the salute, took a peek at Xu Miaoyun and turned his head away.It's a bit too embarrassing to see the misunderstood heroine after I wrote the misunderstood "Yijianmei" just now.He really admired Xu Miaoyun for walking away without hiding her face and still saying these words to her calmly.

This is obviously an excuse for Mrs. Xie to have more contact with Xu Miaoyun in the house.Xu Miaoyun, a woman who can follow along, is indeed not something that ordinary women can do.Of course, there must be reasons why he has a clear conscience because he is really interested in studying things.But looking at the blush on her pink neck, Zhu Su guessed that Xu Miaoyun's heart was not as indifferent as it appeared on the surface.

Xu Da came back after seeing off the guests, and strode to the vacant seat beside Mrs. Xie and sat down.Picking up a bun, he took a bite and said to Zhu Su, "They are all from my own family. Your Highness doesn't need to be so cautious."

"This mansion is no different from His Highness's home. It doesn't matter if you move around a lot on weekdays. If Miao Yun wants to go to Bifeng Huangzhuang, you can ask Yun Gong to take you there. We honored generals are not literati, so we don't have so many rules. "

"Yes, father." Xu Miaoyun nodded.

"It is said that Yun Gong lived in His Highness's house when he was in Huangzhuang? That's not right." Xu Da said again, "Although His Majesty is very close to my family, he can't be so disrespectful."

"I heard that His Highness has built a small building in Huangzhuang. Can my Xu family buy one to use as a separate garden? In the future, if the family members want to go out for an outing in the city, there will be a place for them to stay. I am also very interested in His Highness's method of training soldiers. I will tell you in the future Maybe I have to go to Wen Zhong for advice.”

"Uncle Xu wants to live, so I'll leave you a set. The scenery in Huangzhuang is quite beautiful. If Auntie is bored in the mansion, you can walk around in Huangzhuang and live for a while." Xie's face showed Come smile.Zhu Su paused, with a slightly apologetic expression on his face. "It's just, Uncle Xu, you will..."

What he meant was that as soon as the cut plums came out, the Xu family was bound to him, Zhu Su.In the future, Hu Weiyong will definitely use the name of the Xu family to recruit Huaixi nobles for himself.Xu Da had already had a great influence, and if he was tied up with Zhu Su and Hu Weiyong, the Xu family would inevitably be boycotted by Qingliu in eastern Zhejiang.

He, Zhu Su, is still firmly protected by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, and he is a prince who has no taboos in doing things, but the Xu family must be careful in doing things in the future.It's hard to be targeted by those rumor officials.

And, think a little deeper.Lao Zhu got Hu Weiyong and Xu Da connected through Zhu Su, and he might not have thought of cutting Hu Weiyong's power, and by the way, also cut Xu Da's prestige in the army over the years.

Emperors are complicated and suspicious. It doesn't mean that Xu Dayu was granted the title of king outside the country before, so he is not afraid of his influence in the army.

"It doesn't matter! How can you only think about hiding in the dark when you want to do something!" Xu Da waved his hand indifferently, then looked directly at Zhu Su: "I told His Highness before that in the middle of the game, there is no reason for An to stay out of it. The only thing is to be loyal to His Majesty and concentrate on state affairs."

"Afraid of wolves before and afraid of tigers later, without great ambitions, how can one become a real man?"

Everyone else at the table was at a loss and didn't know what charade they were playing, only Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Su and then at Xu Da, as if he had guessed something.

Zhu Su thought in his heart, this was the second time Xu Da said this sentence, and he always felt that he meant something.The dignified Wei Guogong has such a big family and great career, he still dares to concentrate on state affairs and even guesses that this is a hole dug by the emperor. He is still young, and in this era, he is already in the middle of the game. Want to make a career out of it?
When I hid my identity as a time traveler before, I was under so much psychological pressure that I couldn't sleep almost every day.Later, through the showdown, the traveler was relieved of the burden in his heart.

I have already told Lao Zhu my identity, and asked him to prevent future tragedies when the Ming Dynasty perishes and even the future of China.He is a great man who should naturally shoulder such a heavy responsibility.And in the later generations, I was just a little person who was struggling on the line of food and clothing, so what if I finally got the status of a prince and enjoyed it for the rest of my life?
Aren't you trying your best to leave the seeds of science and prepare to revitalize China?

Why do I still have a sense of detachment, a sense of shame?
If you can't think about it deeply, the pressure of feeling ashamed will become heavier and heavier.Zhu Su lowered his head, and used the action of grilling rice to hide his inner wavering.

Outside, a burly servant turned in from the outside, attracting the attention of the people in the pavilion.The servants of the Xu family stopped him outside the pavilion, and when he saw Zhu Su from a distance, he knelt down on the spot.

"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the village, Mr. Yao, please return to the village quickly."
