Chapter 675 Reunion
"Where is this going?" After walking for a while, Zhu Jingyu realized that this was not the direction to enter the palace, so he asked with a frown.

Eunuch Xu responded with a smile, "Your Highness is not in the palace today."

Zhu Jingyu's brows were furrowed, and he knew from Eunuch Xu's expression that he wouldn't talk much, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just drove forward in silence.

After a while, the group turned out of the bustling market and entered a quiet alley.

When Eunuch Xu, who was ahead, asked people to stop, they had already stopped in front of a house.

In the courtyard, there were faint flowers and trees protruding from behind the towering blue brick wall. Several regular guards in front of the door clasped their fists in salute to them. Zhu Jingyu even saw a few strange things when he looked around. Sure enough, there were hidden guards hidden in the dark. .

Of course, with Eunuch Xu here, besides the father, it is impossible for anyone else to see him.

But... Sitting high on the horseback, Zhu Jingyu looked at the courtyard gate in front of him, but still frowned, and his eyes darkened.

"Young master?" Eunuch Xu had already dismounted, and seeing that Zhu Jingyu hadn't moved, he stopped in front of the door, turned his head and looked over, with a smile on his face and a hint of questioning.

With a serious expression, Zhu Jingyu got off his horse and walked into the gate first.

It doesn't look obvious from the outside, but after entering the courtyard gate, bypassing the screen wall, the more you walk in, the more you feel that the courtyard is very well-organized.According to the style of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, the landscape is built with five steps, one pavilion, ten steps and one pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, curved bridges and corridors.In this season in the garden, there are still clusters of flowers, the flower brook circles around, and there are many artificial hills. In the middle of the lotus pond, although there are only remnants of lotus left, in the reeds, a few cranes are flying around.

There is a wall of mandarin duck vines on the other side, which is lush green, facing the wind, and the gold and silver flowers are trembling slightly, and there is a person sitting under the tree.

Dressed in regular clothes, with a light robe and belt, half lying on the grand master's chair, with a pot of green tea and some refreshments on the table at hand, he looks very leisurely.

If it's not King Ning, who is it?
However, the scene in front of him made Zhu Jingyu feel uncomfortable. His father was really overwhelmed by the letter of victory and the words of praise in the court. At this moment, he is so leisurely?Do not!In fact, in his memory, he had never seen this side of his father.

He stood there for a while, not daring to approach.

King Ning noticed his coming, looked up and saw him sticking to the side like a log, he couldn't help laughing, "Jing Yu is here? Why is he sticking there? Come, come and sit!" He said, raising his hand to the side The brocade tree pointed.

Zhu Jingyu lowered his eyes and stepped forward to salute.Seeing King Ning's friendly face, he sat next to each other on the brocade tree, but his back was still straight.

King Ning smiled and gossiped with him, let him drink tea and eat snacks, what he said and did was just like an ordinary father.

But when Zhu Jingyu responded, he always said "yes" or "it's okay" in a cautious manner. Compared with the usual booing and asking for warmth, he is more used to talking about business with his father and king, and that is the relationship between father and son. Between ordinary.He no longer needs those greetings.Even the conversation between him and his father really increased when he participated in his father's "business affairs", so besides those business affairs, he really didn't know what else to say to his father.

King Ning obviously noticed it too, and after talking for a while, the smile on his face faded.At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him, and before Zhu Jingyu could turn his head, he saw King Ning standing up and passing him to meet him, with a genuine and gentle smile on his face, "I said let the cook do it, but I have to do whatever I want." Do it yourself, the kitchen is smoky, don't tire you out for a while."

These words made Zhu Jingyu's guesses that had been lingering in his mind when he came to this courtyard come to the fore, he stood up silently, and turned his head silently.

As far as he could see, King Ning was holding the hand of a beautiful woman.That beautiful woman's homely attire was not as good as the hairpins she had seen in her memory. The rich clothes and brocade clothes were as fresh and elegant as if all the lead was washed away. She raised a pair of red phoenix eyes and looked at King Ning with a lotus face. He smiled contentedly, "I'm not tired. I haven't cooked by myself for many years. Both of you father and son are here today. Whatever I say, I have to cook two dishes for you to feel at ease."

While talking, a pair of beautiful eyes looked in Zhu Jingyu's direction with a bit of anxiety.

Zhu Jingyu stood with his hands folded, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, his body was as straight as a stick of bamboo, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of indifference.

There was an indifference all over her body that rejected people thousands of miles away, and the smile on the face of the beautiful woman, Madam Geng, couldn't help but faded by two points.

King Ning noticed it, so he also looked at Zhu Jingyu, and naturally saw the indifference on his face.He pondered for a while, but raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Jingyu, today is your birthday, and in a blink of an eye, you are so old. It was impossible in the past, but now, we can finally reunite as a family and celebrate with you It's your birthday. Your mother also specially cooked two dishes for you. Today, we father and son will not return home if we are not drunk!"

Zhu Jingyu frowned, "Father, my son, there are still many military affairs waiting to be dealt with in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you. Since the father is very interested, let's drink to our heart's content. I'll take my leave first." When he said this, he didn't even look at Mrs. Geng, and naturally he didn't see Mrs. Geng's pale face and King Ning's face livid with anger. He bowed his hands and turned around. to go.

"Stop for me, my lord!" Just now, in front of his son, he said that he was amiable, saying "I" every time, and when he got anxious, "this lord" also came out.

And Zhu Jingyu naturally had to stop.

Madam Geng smiled again, but after all she forced herself a lot, she raised her hand and tugged at King Ning's sleeve, with a pleading expression on her face.

King Ning patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and then took a step forward, approaching Zhu Jingyu, staring at him with burning tiger eyes, "What is so important about military affairs that you don't even have time for dinner? If you You're so busy, why don't I send someone to ask my second brother to help you?"

Zhu Jingyu raised his eyes and glanced at King Ning very quickly, then lowered his head again.The deep meaning in these words is naturally well known to both father and son.

Zhu Jingyu didn't speak anymore, so naturally he didn't leave.Only then was King Ning satisfied, and he turned his head and smiled at Mrs. Geng, who was staring at Zhu Jingyu with some uneasiness, and said, "It's getting late, and I'm a little hungry, can't I make a meal?"

Mrs. Geng glanced at Zhu Jingyu again, then opened the corner of her mouth and said, "I'll go and have a look." As she spoke, she turned her head and walked away.

Zhu Jingyu was just like when he came here, standing aside like a wooden stake, he didn't seem to notice Madam Geng's eyes at all, and didn't glance at her.

As soon as Mrs. Geng left, the smile on King Ning's face disappeared, and he turned to stare at Zhu Jingyu and said, "Third brother! You must know that the reason why this king values ​​you is not only because you are my son, but also because you are This king's favorite woman is the flesh and blood of this king, and the truth of loving the house and the crow, I don't think I need to tell you any more."
