Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 381 Ruined Old Zhu's Chess
Three Treasures handle affairs safely and swiftly.Zhu Biao entered the yard, only to find that there was an osmanthus tree planted in the yard of the farmhouse, and several potted flowers were placed under the eaves.

The air is tinged with sunshine and flowers.

This courtyard was rented by Sanbao for half a day to satisfy her desire to live a common life.

Zhu Biao smiled, he wants to be a qualified actor today.

Shen knew whether he was standing next to the earthen stove in the house, picking out the beans he bought, adding salt, and cooking briefly, the pot was steaming.

Zhu Biao went in, scooped up the salted beans, chewed them in his mouth, shook the salted water from his hands, looked at her and said, "You're tired of being rich, and you insist on coming here to be a village woman."

Shen Zhishi shrunk his body, dodged his water drops, stared at him and said, "You said to satisfy me for a day, but you complained again."

Zhu Biao picked up the steamed bean curd next to him, scooped it up, and said disdainfully, "Didn't I come here with you?"

"You didn't wash your hands, you are not allowed to eat my tofu flower."

"Just eat."

"No eating."

Zhu Biao took a big mouthful, closed his eyes and said, "Tsk, it's tender and fragrant, so delicious."

Throughout the morning, Zhu Biao sat in the yard and made miscellaneous things. He brought a bunch of mulberry branches to mend wooden baskets, make hoes, mend wooden barrels, chop firewood and feed geese in the yard.

Shen Zhishi sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, watched all this with nostalgia, and helped him make herbal tea and put it on the stone table.

After the sun was setting, she silently got up and went to the kitchen to cook, and asked Zhu Biao to bring her eggs on the way.

As a result, as soon as he got into the chicken coop, he was pecked twice by the geese in the yard.Does Shen know whether standing at the door is trembling while laughing.

Then he smiled and went in to steam the rice, and brought it out for Zhu Biao to eat.

"Is it tasty?"

She sat beside her, holding her chin in both hands, watching Zhu Biao eat, blinking her eyes.

"It's delicious." Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said, "Our family needs money for salt, so save it."

"You eat it up."

Eat up to death... Zhu Biao muttered in his heart: "Okay, I'll eat up."

Shen Zhishi smiled happily, and brought another pot of soup from the house: "Then you drink the soup too."

"...You drink too." Zhu Biao tasted the soup for her.

"I'm sick, I can't drink it."

Zhu Biao nodded, picked up the soup and drank it, then ate up the dishes, and showed her the porcelain bowl: "Do you need to lick the bowl?"

"Need not."

"Your skills are getting better and better." Zhu Biao looked at her with a smile.

The stoves in the north are different from those in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the farmer’s house has pickled vegetables and dried meat, and her craftsmanship is not very good, so she put more salt.

"The life of the common people is like this." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he glanced at her, took her handkerchief, dipped some water, and wiped off the black spots on his face.Simply help her wrap up the knife wound on her finger.

In the afternoon, Zhu Biao took her to the West Market in Xi'an Prefecture, bought meat and rice, and planned to give it to the farmer.

He bought her some hairpins, but she refused.

"Everyone's house is full of wooden hairpins, you can just peel one out of wood and give it to me."

"Then break a tree branch, anyway, you are so beautiful, you can put anything in it to look good."

As soon as he put down the rice, noodles and meat, the original owner of the farmer came back.

Yang Xian and the others had long been standing on the side of the road not far away, waiting to report on the beheading of the Bailian disciples today.

"If you are really an ordinary person, that would be great. I will wash and cook. After you finish your work, I will go to the market with you, go to the fields, and bring water to wipe your sweat."

"Let's go, we have to go back to get down to business." Zhu Biao led her, and the group left.

The 31 counties in the six prefectures of Shaanxi were quickly settled, and a group of people went to the capital.This time there was an extra carriage, and the guilty minister Sun Xuan asked the guards to lock it in the carriage.

After traveling overnight for several days, I finally returned to the familiar capital city. The smell of sesame seed cakes and duck blood soup was overwhelming.

The air in the south of the Yangtze River is more humid than that in the north.

"You follow me directly into the imperial city." Zhu Biao looked at the people around him, and said word by word: "You go home in a few days."

"Want to see His Majesty?"

"See you."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After passing the Confucius Temple, Zhu Biao instructed Sanbao to go down and buy two fish, and specifically stated that he would buy fish from the common people.

After returning to the palace, let Sanbao take Sun Xuan to the Ministry of Punishment.

Zhu Biao smiled: "The third brother promised me a Yuewang sword. You didn't want it all the time. Brother wanted to give it to you."

Zhu Di raised his head and said excitedly, "Brother, where is it?"

"Daming Museum, you take Zhiwu to Chengqian Palace first, the two of you are waiting for me there, but you promise that you will not let anyone in until the eldest brother comes back. In this way, the sword is yours."

"Your Highness, I will not cause trouble." Shen Zhi said no.

"It's okay to mess with it." Zhu Di smiled.

Zhu Biao described the Yuewang sword, Zhu Di was elated, and personally took Shen Zhifu to Chengqian Palace.

The vegetable fields in the imperial city are still there, but a large area has been opened up. Lao Zhu still likes to run here when he is free.

Next to the vegetable field, Empress Ma was sitting under a tree talking to Lao Zhu, while the rest of the maids and servants were busy with their own tasks.

It's more than May, and the vegetables to be planted have already been harvested.Lao Zhu sat under a tree to enjoy the shade and played chess, and his left girl played with the right girl.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is back. I'll see you after I'm finished." A servant who was on duty outside the vegetable garden came over lightly, and his voice was also kept low.

"Let him come over."

The chess pieces played by Emperor Zhu's fingers wandered on the chessboard, but there were no pieces left.

"Queen mother, emperor father." Zhu Biao came over with two fish and stood under the tree.

"Biao'er, you are back. Your father has been talking about you a lot." Empress Ma put down the history book and took the two fish.

"Ma Dazu, you're exposing me again. You run to the East Palace all day long, competing with us to bring up your grandson." Old Zhu's gaze was still on the chessboard.

"I used to be called Xiuying, but now I'm called Ma Dazu, good Zhu Chongba, don't try to eat the white flour pancakes I made this afternoon."

Zhu Biao said: "Father."

"Say it." Old Zhu was so arrogant, he glanced at Zhu Biao: "You called your mother first, and you called me later."

Isn't it all the same... Zhu Biao walked over and sat down: "Father, when I went back to the palace, I saw the people selling fish. It was so hot, so I helped the people lighten their burden. I bought two wild fish and boiled them well." You have a taste."

Lao Zhu snorted and continued to watch chess.

The next moment, his chess game was blown into a mess, and Lao Zhu raised his hand angrily to hit him, but when he fell down, he patted him: "Go, pour tea, you ruined our chess."

"Father, I'm here to let you rest and have some tea."

Emperor Zhu's face turned soft, he picked up the cup and drank a couple of sips, showing a look of enjoyment, and praised: "Biao'er, your tea today is better than Yu Yi's."

Empress Ma gave him a blank look: "Obviously I brewed it, you have such a bad memory, don't drink it."

"I want to drink it. Biao'er, pour it for us again." Lao Zhu yelled at Empress Ma while drinking.

The fish soup was ready soon, Empress Ma brought out the sesame seed cakes and said, "He loves sesame seed cakes, and the sisters in the palace call me the queen of sesame seed cakes. This reputation is louder than my big feet."

On a summer afternoon, the hot wind blew and the tree was cool. Empress Ma brushed her wind-torn hair and talked about the day she played with Zhu Yunchi.

"Mother, children are not fun. My son is tired of children these days. Think about it, it's best not to stay."

Mother, quickly ask whose child it is... Zhu Biao said again: "Father, what do you think?"

"Biao'er. On your way to the north, where did you get the child?" Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma asked at the same time.

You two finally asked, but it cost me two fish.Zhu Biao said: "My son still has a child. I think that my father and queen mother will definitely be angry about this matter, so I thought not to keep it."

"Bastard, you only have one son, we still think it's too small, what about that child?" Old Zhu stood up.

"That's right, Biao'er. No matter which girl it is from, our old Zhu's family can't do things that we don't accept. What about the girl?"

Empress Ma felt very guilty in her heart, did she want to abandon this girl all the time?

I brought it back long ago.Zhu Biao disagreed: "I have already planned to send her and the child far away."

"Zhu Biao, how did we teach you? Bring her to Kunning Palace, the queen mother wants to see her." After finishing speaking, Empress Ma poked her son's head with her finger.

"In Chengqian Palace." Zhu Biao said, as long as Queen Ma takes over, she will have her own arrangements.Zhu Biao is relieved.

Emperor Zhu handed over the matter to Empress Ma, and he was going to deal with the matter of Sun Xuan, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture.

"Zhu Biao, come with us." Old Zhu dragged Zhu Biao and left. After all, he wanted to report to Old Zhu in detail about the Bailian Cultists.
