Zhu Bai hurriedly agreed: "What I said is really a golden rule."
Although he knew in his heart that Zhu Bai was trying to make him happy, Lao Zhu still found it helpful and curled his lips: "Then go ahead."
When Erhu saw Lao Zhu coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief: Zhu Bai still had a way.
He hurriedly greeted people, and then followed Lao Zhu and Zhu Bai to the Imperial Garden.
The two father and son started playing with the slingshot.
While Zhu Bai was playing, he told Lao Zhu about his northwest and the interesting things he encountered on the way to Guangdong last time.
Lao Zhu listened silently, neither saying yes nor bad.
Zhu Bai mentioned that Li Jinglong came out to use the toilet in the middle of the night at the Guanya Inn, and was caught by the guards as a thief and kept in the cold all night before he got cold.
Only then did Lao Zhu realize that Li Jinglong was so ill, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This useless thing really fails to accomplish anything but fails."
After ten rounds, Lao Zhu was far ahead.
He bathed in the sunshine and listened to his youngest son's chattering and mumbling. His mood suddenly became brighter, his body became hot, and his stomach became hungry.
Over there, Fugui brought someone over with a food box.
Zhu Bai smiled and said: "Hey, it just so happens that I am craving for roasted pigeon today, so I asked someone to make it and bring it to the palace. I happen to be hungry at the moment, so let's eat some together, father."
Lao Zhu didn't know what he was thinking, but he was really hungry. He couldn't bear to brush off Zhu Bai's kindness, so he said, "Then let's take a bite with you."
Fugui and the others were busy setting up the table and chairs, bringing out the food and setting up a table full of them.
There are seaweed and big bone soup, emerald white jade soup, appetizing pickled cabbage and minced pork, sweet and sour pork ribs covered in brown and sweet and sour juice, and roasted squab that is shiny and fragrant.
Lao Zhu ate three large bowls of rice in one go and called it "adding rice".
Zhu Bai was afraid that he would be overstretched, so he hurriedly gave Fugui a wink.
Fugui replied: "Your Majesty, we have finished eating the rice and have asked Honglu Temple to steam it."
Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied and said, "Why are you so stingy today?"
Zhu Bai smiled and said, "Sir, this was made outside and brought in. It's not dinner time yet, so the meal at Honglu Temple is not ready yet. Would you like another bowl of jade cabbage soup?"
Only then did Lao Zhu remember that what he had eaten was not a main meal but an "extra meal", so he stood up and said to Zhu Bai, "Come on, eat and drink enough, then continue the fight."
Zhu Bai frowned: "Master, I'm tired."
Lao Zhu puffed his beard and glared: "You are a kid with so much energy, how can you get tired so quickly? You just want to be lazy. Hurry up. We will go to court tomorrow, so we won't have time to play marbles with you." You just have a good day playing with us today."
Zhu Bai weakly responded: "Yes."
Lao Zhu Ni tilted his face and said, "Don't be so sad and cheer up. In the worst case, I'll give you a try."
On the first day after Lao Zhu resumed his dynasty, he announced that Wu Zhen would be posthumously awarded the title of Doctor Guanglu, Zuozhuguo, and Duke of Haiguo. He would be given the posthumous title of Xiangyi, a burial place in the shadow of Zhongshan, and a portrait in the Temple of Meritorious Officials.
Wu Zhen's title of Marquis of Jinghai was inherited by Wu Zhen's eldest son, Wu Zhong.
Wu Zhong followed Wu Zhen in the war against Japanese pirates in recent years and made many achievements. Only this time he did not go to Liaodong with Wu Zhen, but stayed on the coast of Zhejiang.
After all, he deserves to inherit the title.
Mrs. Wu said she would take Wu Baoer and send Wu Zhen’s tablet back to her hometown of Dingyuan for worship.
Old June is right.
Zhu Bai heard that Mrs. Wu would be leaving today. When he sat down in the study room of Guanya Bureau, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Wu Mansion.
Although he and Wu Baoer usually couldn't speak a word for the whole day, they still felt a little reluctant to part with each other as friends.
After all, after Wu Baoer leaves, he may never see her again in this life.
Fugui suddenly ran up and said, "Your Highness, Nannan, ah, that's wrong. Miss Wu is here to see me."
Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly: "Yes. Bring her up."
Wu Bao'er came in, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your highness's care over the past few years. Bao'er is going back to Dingyuan."
Zhu Bai: "Well, it's nothing, it's just a casual thing. Don't take it seriously. I also eat the food you cook."
Wu Baoer looked up at Zhu Bai, with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, there is something that Nannan had to hide from you, and now I can finally tell you."
Zhu Bai: "Yeah. You tell me."
Wu Baoer blushed and said: "After I moved into the Guanya Bureau, the Emperor once sent someone to find me and asked me to report everything that His Highness did in the Guanya Bureau, no matter how big or small. I was afraid that if I didn't comply, I would be kicked out. If you go out, you can only agree. Please atone for your sins, Your Highness."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "I have known this for a long time, so you don't have to feel guilty."
If Lao Zhu had not taken this step, Zhu Bai would have wondered how Lao Zhu could tolerate a wild child who came out of nowhere to stay by his side.
Wu Baoer looked up at him. She wanted to ask Zhu Bai whether she was a little different from others in Zhu Bai's heart.
I just thought that if I asked this question, I would probably be laughed at by Zhu Bai, who shines like the sun and is as free and easy as the wind, so I could only swallow it all.
She bowed again, stood up, and was helped by the maid to bow her head and leave.
Fugui smacked his lips behind Zhu Bai: "What a pity."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "What a pity. I have many talents, and I will have many opportunities to meet women in the future. What a pity..."
Wu Baoer and Mrs. Wu returned to Dingyuan with Wu Zhen's memorial tablet.
Lao Zhu sent several people to escort them.
After all, the Japanese pirates hated Wu Zhen so much that they might take their anger out on the orphans and widowed mothers.
Zhu Bai secretly asked the guards from the Guanya Bureau to pretend to be transporting goods and escort them all the way. When they return to Dingyuan, they will come back and report to Zhu Bai.

Hu Fuchang now walks with a slight limp.
Some people knew that he wanted to seize power in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division but was beaten like this, so they took pleasure in his misfortune. Although they didn't dare to laugh in person, they would definitely say sarcastic things behind their backs.
Hu Fuchang often heard gossip, so he became increasingly irritable, irritable, and had low self-esteem and sensitivity.
Now when he heard what others said, he felt that they were laughing at him, and he did not dare to do anything outside. He could only come back and vent his anger on the servants and maids at home.
I used to drink and walk with people, but now I hardly go out, and I only go to brothels when I go out.
Only the people there didn't dare to laugh at him and just said nice things to him when he was given money.
Hu Weiyong also realized that his son had no talent, only the ability to spend a lot of time and waste money.
And now that Hu Fuchang is like this, he feels very guilty and blames himself, so he indulges Hu Fuchang even more.
He told his wife: "As long as he can vent his anger, he is not afraid of beating the servants a few times, and at most he will pay some money. Those women in the brothel are all guilty, and they are not afraid of being beaten to death. I have a way to deal with it."
Hu Fuchang became more and more lawless, wearing gold and silver every day and spending money like water.
Today he heard that there was a new beauty from Xifan in Laibin Building who could dance. He was so itchy that he decided to go and see her.
Asking the coachman to hitch the carriage, he dressed up as fancy as he could, staggered into the carriage and went out.
