Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 221 Xu Miaojin’s counterattack
It's not that Wang Fu is bragging about his highness, but he really thinks that it is too difficult to find someone better than Zhu Chu.

His Highness is only 14 years old, and he is already capable of all things, both literary and military.

Originally, Zhu Chu's handwriting was still a stain, but now it has become erratic and has become a style of its own.

That is to say, you can’t see any faction calligraphy, but it looks good.

In addition, he has now donated the seeds of high-yielding crops to the imperial court, and he has to make an unparalleled contribution.

Someone better than Zhu Chu?How many people throughout history have done so many things at his age?

At least in the current court, no one can match him.

Even the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen, was actually two years older than Zhu Chu. He only had a distinguished status but no specific achievements.

Yes, although Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Chun's eldest nephew, he is older than Zhu Chun.

Didn't Zhu Biao originally plan to let Zhu Min study with Zhu Yunwen?

This morning, Wang Fu was sweating all over and finally helped Zhu Chu grind the rice.

Then Zhu Chu made the ground rice noodles into the shape of rice noodles, but did not cook them thoroughly, but kept them for later use.

Then let people prepare all the required ingredients.

Although chili peppers have not yet been grown, the flavor can be tempered with pepper, chili pepper, soy sauce, and green onions.

The word soy sauce first came from the Song Dynasty. Su Dongpo also said, "If there are typos on gold paper or fans, use vinegar or soy sauce to dip them in with a new pen, or wipe them with the wick and remove them immediately."

So soy sauce became popular as a condiment in Chinese food as early as the Song Dynasty.

Zhu also knew how to eat rice noodles in modern times, so he went to the kitchen in person and asked people to pick and wash vegetables. He prepared many side dishes and ingredients and put them into a pot, and also put in many slices of meat.

Knowing that Xu Miaojin is a foodie, she prepared a lot of food.

It’s more like a pot of spicy hot pot than a pot of rice noodles.

After finishing preparations, Zhu Chu looked at the sky and saw that it was just about noon.

"I won't be at home for lunch at noon. You can eat by yourselves. I'll go see my sister Xu," Zhu Ming said casually, and then he asked people to carry the pot, get on the carriage and leave.

Now Zhu Chu was already familiar with Wei Guogong's mansion, and he arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion not long after.

As soon as Zhu Chu came up, he saw a car parked nearby, and it wasn't Li Jinglong's car.

Zhu Ming snorted coldly, asked the guard to carry the pot, went up and patted the door knocker himself, and shouted: "Open the door, I am here, why don't you open the door quickly?"

For some reason, Zhu Min suddenly thought of Aunt Xue calling the door. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he might have laughed out loud and even demonstrated it himself.

But it is really outrageous for a grown man like him to imitate Aunt Xue.

At this time, the door of the mansion was opened, and Xu Huizu was seen standing there with a dark face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dian, I think what I said last time was clear enough," Xu Huizu said in a very rude tone.

Zhu Ming sneered and said: "Why, you don't welcome me, but you welcome Li Jinglong, right? How can he be so virtuous? If he can't control it, get out of my way. I'm here to see Sister Xu."

Xu Huizu stretched out his hand to stop him.

As a result, he was not Zhu Chu's opponent, and he was pulled away by Zhu Chu with a casual push.

Xu Huizu was surprised. He was Xu Da's eldest son, and he had Xu Da's expectations placed on him. His name was Huizu, which means glorious ancestor.

So Xu Huizu also had force.

Unexpectedly, he was pushed away by Zhu Zhen so easily?
Zhu Ming snorted softly, and led his guards to rush inside in such a swaggering manner.

Xu Huizu stood there, watching Zhu Chu go straight to his little sister's yard, but he didn't stop him anymore.

Suddenly, a person came out from the side and asked furtively: "Can I leave? No, what does your sister Miaojin mean?"

Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Jinglong.

It turned out that Li Jinglong had been here a long time ago, but he had not seen Xu Miaojin, so he was stopped by Xu Huizu. He was also entertained by Xu Huizu, had lunch, and was about to go back when he met Zhu Chu who suddenly came to visit.

Li Jinglong wondered, what was going on with him?Have you been fooled?
But it seems like the person being fooled is not me?

"Sister Miaojin?" Xu Huizu glanced at Li Jinglong, his eyes filled with meaning.

Now you can still call me "girl" a few times, but you won't be able to call me "girl" in the future.

"Dong Cao Guo, I'm here to see you off," Xu Huizu raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and personally saw him off.

Here, Zhu Lunze walked straight to the door of Xu Miaojin's courtyard as if he was in a deserted place.

'Bang bang bang'.

Zhu Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" the maid asked from inside.

"It's me, King of Dian Zhu Chu. Open the door. Is that boy Li Jinglong inside? Tell him to get out and say hello," Zhu Chu shouted angrily, very angry.

In the yard, Xu Miaojin was sitting there looking at her flower garden in a daze. There were many foods on the table beside her, all of which were her favorite meals in the past.

But today she didn't know she was hungry at all. She didn't even use a bite of the food, and the food was cold.

Suddenly hearing Zhu Xi's voice, Xu Miaojin stood up and looked outside with a happy face.

But immediately she sat down again, biting her lips to hold back her laughter, and said in her heart: "Brother Zhu, it seems that you don't care about girls as you said. I thought you really wanted to do that for the Tujia people." The girl turns a blind eye to the girl.”

"Miss, the Prince of Dian is here," the maid came over and asked Xu Miaojin, "What should I do? Open the door?"

Xu Miaojin smiled reservedly: "That's His Royal Highness the King of Dian. How dare you stop him? Let him in."

Seeing this unwillingness, the maid wanted to drive Zhu Chu back.

But she didn't dare, so she had to walk over and open the courtyard door with a frosty face.

Zhu Ming didn't care to look at the maid's face. When he came in, he looked left and right, looking for Li Jinglong.

Xu Miaojin knew what was going on. In fact, this was just a play. Even Xu Da acted in a play, just for Zhu Xi.

Originally Xu Dacai was unwilling to do such a thing.

But Xu Miaojin couldn't resist Xu Miaojin's begging. Xu Miaojin begged all night yesterday and almost cried, saying that she wanted to try this method.

Xu Da was so angry that he almost vomited blood. At my age, you want me to act like this with you?What about cheating?
But Xu Miaojin said that he just couldn't give in, so he wanted to give it a try. If Zhu Zhen could really be ruthless and cruel and not care about him, then he would give up.

Xu Da was reluctant to do so, and deliberately said a few words to Li Jinglong in front of Zhu Chu in the morning.

Otherwise, if Xu Miaojin really invited Li Jinglong privately, why bother to act like that? Li Jinglong came directly by himself, so where would Zhu Chu know where he was going?

If he didn't know, why would he care in a hurry?
Xu Miaojin raised her little face and raised her slender neck, like a proud little swan.

But she had to be calm, suppressing her proud look, pretending not to care, and asked calmly: "Your Highness, what are you looking for? Don't you think that I, Xu Miaojin, stole someone? Even if I, Xu Miaojin, are in my yard Is there really someone, even if it's another man, who has nothing to do with you? Aren't you looking for me to be my sworn sworn partner?"

Xu Miaojin became extremely angry when she mentioned this, and almost made her mad to death.

I regard you as my husband, and you want to be my elder brother?
Who is this.

Let's just call each other brothers.

Zhu Ming felt strange. Didn't Li Jinglong say he had received an invitation from Xu Miaojin?Speaking of which, there is still his carriage outside. I wanted to cause trouble for that kid before, so I remembered it.

What's going on here?

"Where is Li Jinglong?" Zhu Ming blurted out and asked, "Didn't you invite him here?"

Xu Miaojin narrowed her eyes slightly, her big beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she almost laughed.

Keep pretending, keep pretending you don't care about me.

In the past, even though we only spent less than a month together, I don’t believe that you have no feelings for me at all. Otherwise, how could it be that I was the only one who liked you?

The thing that Xu Miaojin couldn't swallow the most was that in the end, it seemed that she was the only one who had a unilateral crush on Zhu Zhen, and this man actually looked down on her so much.Is it because you don’t look good?Are you really that unbearable?
She was not convinced and didn't believe it.

"Li Jinglong, he is here, but it was my eldest brother who invited him to come to the house to talk. What does it have to do with me?" Xu Miaojin snorted and said: "Besides, this is the yard of a girl's house, who can say it casually? Can you come in just by walking in?"

In the end, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her tone.

In fact, she was hinting to Zhu Zhen that you are the only one who can come in if you want, but what do you think of me?

"Sister, there is so much resentment. Why do you act like a resentful woman?" Zhu Ming finally noticed that Xu Miaojin's tone was wrong.

"You," Xu Miaojin gritted her teeth in anger, who was it because of?Because of who?asshole.

She, Xu Miaojin, was also a proud woman of her generation. How could she ever be so full of resentment and even have such designs, as if she was in need of a man?

But he didn't do this. This man really didn't care about himself.

It's already happened now, how dare you say you don't care at all?
The last time it was Zhu Chu who tried to test Xu Miaojin's affection for him.

But this time, it was Xu Miaojin who counterattacked, testing out that Zhu Chu still cared about him.

It was a little fun for the two of them to show off their tricks.

As a smart man, Zhu Chu didn't see Li Jinglong when he came in. He also noticed that there was only one person's bowl and chopsticks on the table, not even a second teacup, and he knew what was going on.

That's why Xu Miaojin seemed to be a resentful woman.

In fact, Zhu Zhen himself found it funny. He was so anxious before. It turned out that he had fallen into this girl's trap. Now it was better. Someone saw his embarrassment.

However, the two of them were very smart and no one made any mistakes.

Zhu Ming also asked the guards to bring the pot to the table, while he sat there and ordered like an uncle in the yard: "Take all these things away, and then take out the stove from before."

"Do you still want to roast sweet potatoes and corn? I've already eaten it, that's it," Xu Miaojin wanted to pretend to be arrogant, but she couldn't help but lick the corner of her mouth secretly.

Zhu Ming funnyly pretended not to see it and said: "It's a pity that there are no corn and sweet potatoes, my father ate them all."

"No more?" Xu Miaojin finally showed a disappointed look. It wasn't really a pity for her. After all, with her status, she could still afford her own desserts.

The main reason is that Zhu Xi baked it for her with his own hands. He baked it, so it is precious.

If nothing else, who can eat something cooked by the prince himself?

Even if it's baked.

"Although there is nothing else, I brought rice noodles, a specialty of Yunnan, this time. Of course, I personally ground the rice at home and brought it to you to try." Zhu Xi took Wang Fu as a matter of course. He took the credit for it and said that it was done by himself.

Xu Miaojin's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, a maid had already taken out the stove, and then asked the servants to go to the kitchen backyard to bring firewood.

After the stove was lit, Zhu Zhen asked someone to sit on the rice noodle hotpot that had been prepared. Of course, he also asked someone to fill it with water.

Xu Miaojin looked at it curiously, wondering what the cooked food tasted like.

But she's looking forward to it.

After Zhu Chu finished doing this, he sat down again.

Xu Miaojin hesitated for a moment, then asked someone to fetch a second teacup, poured him a cup of tea herself, and put it gently over.

Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you. I thought you didn't want me to drink tea."

Xu Miaojin snorted softly: "You still know? You are going to seek sworn sworn vows from me. It's good that I can give you a sip of tea."

Zhu Ming smartly didn't answer to avoid embarrassment for both of them.

After all, he made it so clear and direct last time. He even mentioned Mu Qiu's existence, and his meaning was very clear. He just didn't want to delay Xu Miaojin, nor did he want to wrong Mu Qiu.

As a result, he came today.

It would be pointless to say anything else.

Xu Miaojin also changed the topic smartly and said: "My father mentioned the morning court incident. He said that you donated those corns, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to the court in the morning. I heard that potatoes can produce a thousand kilograms per mu? Is this true? ?"

Zhu Xi nodded: "Actually, this is all conservative. If planted in the right place, the yield will only be higher. It may even reach [-] kilograms per mu."

After all, Zhu Chu's seeds were all purchased from the system. There is no need to cultivate new varieties. They are already the latest varieties, all with high yields.

This year's report once mentioned that the yield of potatoes reached more than 2000 kilograms per mu, which is indeed not an exaggeration by Zhu.

But in many cases it is better to be more conservative, otherwise, if the standard is not met, it will not be true.

"If this is successfully promoted, people all over the world will think of you. This is a great good thing. This is a great feat that benefits the people and the country and the people," Xu Miaojin said while looking at it dreamily. With Zhu Xun.

I just feel that Zhu Zhen can guard the border, defend the country, and benefit the people.

He is so good.

Zhu Ming also became proud and told some things about his time in Yunnan.

For example, when he first went to the battlefield, that is, when he was in Yunlong County, he vomited because he saw beheading for the first time.

"You don't know, that Muchun was just a fool at that time. I asked him to take the person elsewhere to kill him, but I didn't expect him to behead him in front of me. There was so much blood, and the look in his neck, It was all spilled in front of me, not to mention how bloody it was," Zhu Xi grinned. Even today, when he thinks about it, he still thinks it was a nightmare.

That's Xu Miaojin. If it were anyone else, wouldn't he be frightened?
As a result, Xu Miaojin not only was not afraid, but asked curiously: "Is killing really that terrible?"

Although she has practiced martial arts all year round, she has never actually killed anyone, so she became curious.

Zhu Miao looked deeply at Xu Miaojin and said, "It's very scary. After all, you took away a living life with your own hands. It will cause huge discomfort, both mentally and physically."

That’s why we have postwar psychological syndrome in modern times, which is the psychological disease of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Delayed and persistent psychosis occurs when a person experiences or witnesses one or more actual deaths involving themselves or others, or is threatened with death, or is seriously injured, or has their physical integrity threatened. obstacle.

"However, when you get used to it, you will become obsessed with this feeling, as if you have become the master beyond the existence of others and can control the power of life and death of others at will. This will also make you indifferent to life. For example, I , don’t look at me like this, actually I feel like I have become a murderous executioner,” Zhu Zhen showed a wry smile.

This is an era where human life is like a piece of grass. If you don't kill someone, you will be killed.

He could only let himself adapt, and he could only hint to himself that those people were bad and that he killed them because they wanted to rebel.

But obviously, Zhu Zhen also had an overreaction, and his overreaction was self-protection.

As long as they are enemies, he can kill them all without any psychological pressure, even children.

It is better to say that in the process of implementing the reform of native land and returning to local people in Yunnan, he ransacked the houses and asked how many chieftain families were beheaded, including many children.

But he was too numb to care.

This is the limitation and cruelty of the times. It cannot be changed by oneself. Even if it is changed, it will have to wait until he has the strength and status.

Xu Miaojin didn't know why, but she just felt extremely distressed. She once admired force and military merit so much, but now she realized what a bloody fact was hidden behind it.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but reached out and grabbed Zhu Chu's hand, wanting to support him, wanting to make him feel that she supported him.

"You are here to protect your home and country, you are here to protect the Ming Dynasty and its people, and you are also here to protect the country so that we living in the Central Plains do not have to suffer from war. Thank you, Brother Zhu, thank you," Xu Miaojin expressed her deep gratitude With.

Zhu Chu, in turn, grabbed Xu Miaojin's little hand. No words could express his gratitude as much as this sentence of understanding.

Zhu Zhen said in the court before that there is no quiet time in the world, it is all us who are carrying the burden outside to protect our home and country.

It was because those civil servants standing in the court did not understand the dedication and pressure of the generals at all, and they shamelessly allowed themselves to capture Silunfa alive.

In fact, it can be captured alive, but what happens after being captured alive?What if Silun is sent back in order to stabilize the natives?
Those people are safe, and they can talk nonsense very easily while standing in the main hall.

Zhu Zhen really wanted them to go to the battlefield and face the multiple pressures brought by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.

Let’s see if these so-called literati dare to fight to the death and not retreat at the real moment, and if they can also live towards death.

"Brother, tell me the story of that wooden girl again. I want to know how you met and how you got together. Even if the girl is really not as good as her, I still want to know what the difference is." Xu Miaojin suddenly mentioned Mu Qiu.

Zhu Ming was shocked, but finally agreed: "Okay, you eat the rice noodles first, and I will tell you while you eat."
