Zhu Bai took a breath. Now that he has one hundred and one acres of land, he can truly understand the concept of two thousand five hundred acres.
He said, "I'll give it a try. That means it's twenty-five times as big as my piece of land."
Lao Zhu's protective personality is fully revealed here. Even if he treats the second child, he is still reluctant to let him suffer a little bit.
Zhu Chong pointed to the city wall and said: "The city wall is two feet, nine feet and five inches high and six feet wide at the bottom. The female wall is five feet and five inches high. The city river is five feet wide and three feet deep."
The city wall is wide and narrow at the bottom, like an inverted "pin", which is also for defense in case of war.
As he was talking, drizzle suddenly started to fall in the sky.
Zhu Bai looked up and said, "Father always said that in March, children's faces really change at will."
Zhu Xi: "Don't worry, we can go through the corridor and walk all the way to the flower hall. I guarantee you won't get a drop of rain."
Zhu Bai asked: "Second brother's government office took a lot of effort to build."
Zhu Xi introduced as he walked: "This is the hall for guests, and behind it is the palace. There are three gardens, large and small. There is also a temple for sacrifices next to it. Tonight's banquet is arranged in the flower hall by the lake."
Probably to comfort Zhu Xi's homesickness, these pavilions and pavilions were built in the Jiangnan style.
It's still early now.
Weeping willows sway gently by the lake in the garden, and the tips of young lotus leaves are exposed from the water. From time to time, a dragonfly flies and lands on it.
The breeze ripples the surface of the lake, and drizzle is sprinkled on the lake like silk threads. Sitting upstairs and looking at the lake, it really feels like you are in the south of the Yangtze River.
Presumably in three months time, this place will be filled with lotus flowers.
Pu Ying, Zhou Bin and the chief envoys on the left and right came to accompany him and had already arrived early.
Naturally, these people would not be ignorant and come to complain to Zhu Bai at this time.
So there was harmony at the banquet.
The meals at the banquet are all Xi'an's specialties, such as beef and mutton, Guokui, Liangpi and so on.
In order to make Zhu Bai get used to it, he also specially cooked several dishes of Yingtian's taste.
Zhu Bai said while eating: "This is the first time I have eaten Yingtian cuisine since I came out of Yingtian. In fact, it has only been a few months since I left home, but it seems like a lifetime has passed."
Zhu Ming sighed: "Isn't that right? It's difficult to go out after a good day at home. The northwest is bitterly cold and dry. I see that you have lost a lot of weight. You must be acclimatized and suffered a lot on the road."
Pu Ying asked: "I heard that Mr. Li Wenzhong's son came out with His Highness. Why didn't I see him?"
Zhu Bai knew that Puying and Li Wenzhong were also old friends, and he had to care about Li Jinglong both emotionally and rationally.
Zhu Bai smiled and said: "He was not accustomed to the local environment and fell ill a few days after he came out. I was in a hurry to preside over the tea horse trade and did not wait for him. I think he will arrive in Xi'an in a few days."
Pu Ying nodded: "It's really a formidable life. Your Highness and Mr. Li Jinglong were appointed by the emperor to preside over the tea-horse trade at such a young age."
His compliment was definitely sincere.
He came to Xi'an in the fifth year of Hongwu and had no chance to see Zhu Bai's power in Yingtian.
So when he was chatting with Zhou Bin and others about who Lao Zhu would send to take charge of the tea-horse trade, he felt that he would probably pick a safe person from the Ministry of Accounts.
Zhou Bin and others unanimously said that Lao Zhu would definitely send Zhu Bai, because only Zhu Bai could handle it well.
At that time, he was quite dissatisfied: Zhu Bai was so young, how could it be possible?
Most of the time, Lao Zhu was behind the scenes in this officialdom, and Zhu Bai was just showing up.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Bai was actually sent in the end.
Pu Ying and the others finished their meal, sat down for a while, and then left, leaving Zhu Bai and Zhu Ping alone.
Zhu Bai turned around and asked: "Where is No. 7? But in the backyard?"
Zhu Ping: "Oh, I'm sorry. I took it hunting a few days ago, and it didn't know where it went."
Zhu Bai asked: "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just a dog. Maybe he'll be back in a few days. When I get back to Yingtian, I'll ask someone to bring one over to my second brother. Where's Master Hongyuan? Master Zong Li asked me to bring some scriptures." give him."
Zhu Ping smiled: "Master Hongyuan likes to be quiet, so he usually stays in the backyard. I will ask someone to invite him out."
After a while, Hongyuan came out with his head lowered.
Zhu Bai took the scripture from Fugui and personally delivered it to Hongyuan: "Master Zonglu asked me to give this to you."
Hongyuan took it and said: "Thank you Master Zongli. I will recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra today. Your Highness can also read it when you have time."
Zhu Bai nodded: "Very good. I will tell you this for you."
Hongyuan was a little disappointed: it seemed that Zhu Bai didn't hear his secret message, otherwise there would be no reaction.
Zong Lai said that Zhu Bai fell asleep as soon as he listened to the scriptures, and he really didn't know the content of the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
Zhu Bai chatted with Zhu Xi for a few words.
Zhu Xi said: "On our way to Zhongdu, you always said you wanted to hunt rabbits. Now is the fattest time. Would you like my second brother to take you to the grassland outside to hunt rabbits?"
When Zhu Bai heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really?"
Fugui immediately said: "Your Highness, there are still Mongols outside."
Zhu Ming narrowed his eyes at Fugui and said, "Master, when you speak, it will be your slave's turn to interrupt."
Zhu Bai looked at Fugui with schadenfreude and nodded: "Look, I have said it all. I told you to obey the rules, but you didn't listen. When outsiders saw it, they thought I was lax in discipline."
Fugui understood Zhu Bai's hint and quickly lowered his head: "My slave is wrong."
Zhu Xi then put aside his wealth and said to Zhu Bai: "The Mongols are now moving to areas with rich water and grass, and driving their cattle and sheep to graze. They usually only come out to rob things in the autumn. Besides, General Lan and Mu The general defeated them, and the Mongols did not dare to come out easily, so the border will be calm."
Zhu Bai thought for a while and shook his head: "Let's forget it."
Zhu Cang clenched his fists, reminding himself not to be too eager and scare Zhu Bai away.
Zhu Bai added: "Ah, that's right. In addition to inspecting the dental clinic in Xi'an this time, I am also entrusted by my father to bring back Master Hongyuan and his disciples. I will come to Xi'an as a monk."
He felt something was wrong from the moment he saw Hongyuan. Firstly, Hongyuan's spirit was not right, his eyes were dull and his face was pale. Secondly, the disciple who always followed Hong Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
He immediately understood that Hongyuan just mentioned the "Ksitigarbha Sutra". Hongyuan wanted to hint to him that this was hell.
Zhu Xi is an evil ghost.
Zhu Xi must have captured his apprentice and came to threaten Master Hongyuan.
But even if he knew there was a problem, he couldn't directly compete with Zhu Fang.
After all, this is Zhu Xi's territory.
Zhu Ping has the power to mobilize the Xi'an Health Center.
There is no way for dozens of him to escape.
Hongyuan lowered his eyes, concealing his excitement: He understood, this child is really smart.
Zhu Xi nodded: "Okay. I have been with Master Hongyuan for more than a year. Now that Master Hongyuan is leaving, I am a little reluctant to leave him, so I will keep him for a few more days. When the twelfth brother leaves, I personally Send them away with you.”
