Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 56

Although I haven't heard it for a long time, when the voice came out, it was a little immature, but it also sounded majestic, and the words were crisp and clear. Zhang Yifan could hear it immediately and knew who was coming.

He turned around and saw that the fourth brother was striding into the cement workshop surrounded by a group of guards.

Zhu Jingjing was of course able to recognize whose voice it was, and was immediately delighted. She immediately turned around and wanted to speak.

However, Zhu Di stretched out his hand to stop her from speaking, then stared at Li You and said coldly: "Why, your Li family is interested in this cement business?"

Li You didn't know Zhu Jingjing, but he had met King Yan Zhu Di.As for Zhu Di, because of Li You's background, he has naturally seen it before.

In other words, they know each other.

If someone else came, even if it was Chang Mao, Li You could continue to be arrogant, no problem.However, what he didn't expect was that the person who came in was King Zhu Di of Yan.

Even if the Li family was the first to contribute to the founding of the Ming Dynasty and his wife's uncle was Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, he would still have to be lowered.

No, when Li You saw it, he was immediately startled. He quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, Li You has met His Highness King Yan!"

The county magistrate didn't know King Yan, so he thought what would happen if someone came again. With Li You here, who would dare to ride on the head of the Li family.

As a result, when Li You opened his mouth, he was immediately dumbfounded. It turned out to be His Highness King Yan.So, he quickly followed up and saluted.

On the other side, Zhang Yifan also heard clearly, especially when even Li You was saluting, he was a little dumbfounded: King Yan... Your Highness?
Are these words correct?Putting them together, in the ninth year of Hongwu, it can only be the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

ah ah ah ah...

Zhang Yifan, who was in shock, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Zhu Jingjing, his eyeballs were almost protruding.

Because he suddenly thought that his future daughter-in-law would always call Zhu Di fourth brother, and Zhu Di would also call him eldest sister.

In this way, her identity can be revealed: she is not Chang Jingjing at all, but Zhu Jingjing!And judging from the title, his future daughter-in-law is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang’s eldest daughter who was to be married to Li Shanchang’s family in the ninth year of Hongwu’s reign!

No wonder her sister-in-law said before, oh, by the way, her sister-in-law is the Crown Princess, Zhu Biao's wife, and Chang Yuchun's daughter.

Isn't that right? It was the Crown Princess who communicated with me about the cement. It made sense that the craftsmen she sent came from the Duke Zheng's palace.That Li You could be right if he told Duke Zheng that he didn't know about this!

And, more!
The Crown Princess had said at the beginning that Jingjing's father valued a well-matched family and that he would like a wealthy family. Wasn't it the Korean Duke who was the most important figure in the founding of the Ming Dynasty?If you decide to marry Jingjing, it means offending the most noble family in the Ming Dynasty.This is right too!

After learning these truths, Zhang Yifan was stunned.

Zhu Jingjing just turned to look at him, and found that his expression was very strange, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Because Zhu Jingjing thought that Zhang Yifan had known her identity for a long time, so she didn't know why he was stunned?
On the other side, Li You was already there smiling and saying to Zhu Di: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Yesterday, the official learned from Duke Zheng that someone here was swindling under the name of Duke Zheng's Palace, so he wanted to come and take a look. Only now do I know that it was a misunderstanding!”

After explaining, he quickly saluted again: "Now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, I am relieved. I will resign now!" After saying that, seeing that Zhu Di did not stop him, he immediately took the county magistrate and others with him. leave.

Before leaving, Li You specially stared at Zhu Jingjing. Seeing her and Zhang Yifan standing together, looking closer, his eyes rolled a few times, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as they left, Zhu Jingjing immediately stepped forward and took Zhu Di's hand, saying gratefully: "My fourth brother was kind to me and came to the rescue in time."

Otherwise, she suspected that her father would know about her affairs, which would lead to consequences that she really didn't want to see.

After she finished speaking, she immediately thought of something and asked curiously: "By the way, Fourth Brother, aren't you getting married tomorrow? Why are you still here?"

Zhu Di came over because of Zhu Jingjing's reasons, but more importantly, he wanted to see the legendary magical cement with his own eyes.It doesn't take much time just to take the time to make a quick trip back and forth.

Unexpectedly, this happened.

Of course Zhu Di thought of Zhu Jingjing's concerns.Because of this, he didn't want the matter to get into trouble. For those who dared to threaten Zhu Jingjing, he had to let go without retaliating.

At this time, when he heard Zhu Jingjing's question, he couldn't directly say that he came to see the cement.What's more, he discovered something more important.

Zhu Di scolded Zhu Jingjing angrily: "I told you not to come, but instead of kidnapping my sister-in-law, you came here secretly. You see, after what happened today, once the commotion breaks out, what do you think? Are there any consequences?"

If Zhu Biao had taught Zhu Jingjing, as an elder brother is like a father, she might not dare to talk back.But Zhu Jingjing was not afraid of her fourth brother, whom she had a close relationship with and who was close in age. She immediately stood closer to Zhang Yifan and replied: "My brother Fan won't marry me, and brother Fan won't marry him unless I am. My sister-in-law has agreed to let me take Fan with her." I’ll go back and ask my eldest brother to see me, and ask him to help me.”

At this point, she said to Zhu Di with a shy face: "Fourth brother, you will also help me, right?"

Hearing his words, Zhu Di's face turned dark.

He had already seen this result.This is not the right family, how could my father agree to it?For this reason, he tried every possible means to stop it, but he didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

"Nonsense, you are really nonsense!" Zhu Di reprimanded Zhu Jingjing, hating that iron cannot become steel.

He could imagine how angry his father would be if he knew what happened today.

When Zhu Jingjing heard this, she immediately became unhappy. When she was about to speak, she heard Zhang Yifan say: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? Jingjing and I are in love with each other. Look at how happy Jingjing is. Don't you want Jingjing to be so happy?" Are you living happily?"

The fourth brother who came to his door had thick thighs, so of course he had to hug him tightly.So what if Zhu Di disagrees?Shout first and then talk!

When Zhu Di heard Zhang Yifan's words, he was very angry at first. You, a country boy, abducted Jing Jing and you dared to call him Fourth Brother before you even agreed?

But when he heard the second half of Zhang Yifan's words, saying that he didn't want Zhu Jingjing to live happily, he saw Zhu Jingjing staring at Zhang Yifan's side face with a happy look on his face. Suddenly, the anger in his heart disappeared. Quite a lot.

However, it would be impossible for him to just agree!
