After staying in prison for more than ten days, people outside had already begun to place bets. They all bet on whether the little Duke can come out.
The people in the capital have always been well-informed, and many people bet that Xu Qin would have to shed his skin this time even if he didn't die.
Although Xu Huizu went to the palace to plead for mercy, it is said that he knelt in the palace all night holding the iron ticket to avoid death, and his majesty did not summon him at all.
The young master is finished. From now on, only the legend of the young master will be left in the brothel. Doesn’t that mean you’ll be lonely for a long time?
But those who really know the inside story are unwilling to say more. The Duke of Wei may be returning to the Holy Family.
Sure enough, Xu Qin came out more than ten days later. Not only did he come out, he immediately went to Yingtian Mansion to bring out his slaves.
Moreover, everyone has become fat by visual inspection. This is the first time I heard that people can be made fat in the Jinyiwei Prison. Ji Gang is useless.
The next day after Xu Qin came out, he drove his carriage directly to the prince's house.
He was in prison for more than ten days, and the princess sent someone to bring him food every day, and everyone who ate became fat.
The key is that he also finds fault with other people's cooking for not being delicious. After all this has come out, it is natural to express it.
The vast convoy was carrying food and drink, and of course there were three fat and shabby cooks.
"Cousin, why don't you come and be so polite?" The prince smiled like Maitreya Buddha. The cook and I can be brothers.
Watching the family unload the car. The game from all over the world and the objects in the mountains and the sea made the prince's mouth water.
What made him even more gratified were the large baskets of fresh vegetables. This made the prince greedy.
This thing is not valuable in summer, but it is very valuable in winter.
"What my cousin said, my cousin has people bring me food every day, and I have become fat. My family is not as good as the prince's palace. I only have these little things, so I brought them to you."
Xu Qin said searchingly.
"You can pull him over. In terms of food, your family eats better than my father." The prince stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Qin inside.
"What you said makes me feel chilled. Your Majesty has never eaten anything in my house. All the first vegetables in the greenhouse were picked by the palace. The eunuch in the palace is more familiar with the greenhouse than I am. He knows a few cucumbers."
Xu Qin said helplessly.
As they were talking, an eight or nine-year-old white boy was leading a two- or three-year-old baby with a tiger head hat.
"I've met my cousin." The eldest child is Zhu Zhanji. He is as smart and smart as a young adult, so he is indeed rare.
"Cousin...uncle...uncle..." the child said in a milky voice, still cupping his white and tender little hands to imitate the adult style.
The second son, Zhu Zhanyong, is the little baby on the periodic table of elements in the old Zhu family.
There is also a newly born Zhu Zhanzhen, who is still wrapped in swaddling clothes by his wet nurse.
It was a grand ceremony for the entire family to come out.
Xu Qin naturally made inquiries before coming to the door. Brought gifts to the children.
Zhu Zhanji has a short sword. Every child likes to play with swords. Anyway, Xu Qin felt that he should have a sword when he was a child, which could harm the vegetable fields of the whole village.
Sure enough, Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up.
"Cousin, I heard that you are an expert in making firearms. Please get me a blunderbuss." Zhu Zhanji said enthusiastically.
"You can pull it down, that thing is dangerous." The prince gave up. It's really outrageous to have this thing at home.
"My cousin is wrong. What can a boy do if he doesn't have some fun with fighting and killing? In the future, the Ming Dynasty will belong to him. I don't know how to do martial arts. Another day, my cousin will take you to the Shenji Camp, let alone the fire gun. , even playing with big guns."
Xu Qin hugged Zhu Zhan and said with a big wave of his hand. Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Cousin, please don't go back on your word. I will go to Shenji Camp to find you another day." Zhu Zhanji said excitedly.
"You can stay here for a while. Cousin, don't spoil the child." The prince said politely, but in fact he was happy in his heart.
He thought Xu Qin had made his attitude clear. He regarded his son as the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he must support himself as the prince.
In fact, Xu Qin only knew the future historical direction.
Zhu Zhanzhen was dishonest in his arms, so Xu Qin took out a bag of glass balls with flowers inside. Although it's not absolutely round, it's still manageable.
Children over two years old are just like colors and novelties, and they are as happy as a kitten in their hands.
"Oh, this thing is so valuable." The princess couldn't help but said when she saw the colorful glass balls.
"What kind of family are we? We are a rich family. How can we play with ordinary things." Xu Qin didn't take it seriously.
The gift for the third child was a box of small cotton clothes, including socks and diapers, and even cork teething sticks, glass milk bottles, and glass wind chimes.
In particular, the glass milk bottle was deeply loved by the princess.
"I'll have a couple of drinks with my cousin today, and I won't come home until I'm drunk." The princess told Xu Qin.
"It's okay to drink, but Cousin, I'm not very good at drinking. Please bear with me if I make a joke." Xu Qin put the ugly words first.
The Crown Princess smiled. This cousin even dared to talk nonsense to His Majesty after drinking too much. It was said that he cried and made trouble. The wine is really not that good.
"It's your own house, you can do whatever you want." The Crown Princess said.
"Then I'm really casual. Don't prepare any food for your family. Let me show you my skills today. Xu Fugui is preparing it."
Xu Qin came prepared, and there was no such rule when he went to his home to let guests do something. The prince still wants to object. The Crown Princess said it didn't matter, it was just right that she didn't need to see anyone outside.
Then Xu Qin took Zhu Zhanji to do some cooking. He wanted to roast the whole lamb. He brought the whole package.
The prince was amazed, do you still use these things to roast a whole lamb? Look at this fork, grill, and this wire mesh?
Why do you still need a brush when there are so many seasonings?
"Father always said that my cousin loves to scratch when he eats. I really believed it when I saw him today. Good guy, are you really particular about your charcoal?"
The prince listened to Xu Qin explaining to Zhu Zhanji how to roast a whole lamb. He couldn't help but feel saliva flowing under his tongue, which was an eye-opener.
"This little cousin, it seems like he is just joking, but he actually has a lot of meaning." The princess said.
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand. He reacted a little slowly and thought slowly.
When the whole lamb was roasted, Xu Qin asked Fugui to bring out a big box. Take out various wine glasses.
The commercial network laid out by Mr. Xia recently is finally operational. He knew that the young master loved delicious food, so he naturally brought back various delicacies and fine wines from various places.
"Hey, good guy, what are you talking about?" The prince looked at the various wine glasses and couldn't help but open his eyes. I was shocked when I visited today.
Some know it, some don't.
Xu Qin laughed very proudly, not hiding his pride at all.
"Look, this is the rhinoceros horn cup for drinking Guanwai Baijiu, the luminous cup for drinking wine, the bronze cup for drinking sorghum wine, the glass cup for drinking wine, the jade bowl is of course amber light, the ancient rattan cup is of course Baicao wine. The ancient porcelain cup is of course It’s Zhuangyuan Red, and the emerald cup is of course pear blossom wine…”
Xu Qin's introduction was eloquent. He not only brought wine glasses, but also the corresponding good wine.
"Hello, Grandpa Huang..." Zhu Zhanji's crisp voice sounded from behind.
"I have met Your Majesty..." the Crown Princess's voice said.
"Oh, my eldest grandson knows how to roast a whole lamb. How about that wicked guy teaching you to do this servant's job?" Zhu Di's rich voice sounded.
Xu Qin felt like a light on his back, this old guy must be looking at him.
"It's over. Is it still too late for me to collect it now?" Xu Qin looked at the prince and asked.
"I'm disgusted by what I saw. How about we two admit it." The prince said deeply.
"Of course you admit it, these things are mine, mine. Didn't you read the almanac when you went out today? Why is Your Majesty here?" Xu Qin was about to cry but had no tears.
"Nonsense, why do you need to tell me when my father comes to my house?" The prince stretched out his hands and quickly showed a smile.
The two people quickly turned around to greet Zhu Di. Zhu Di stretched out his hand to pull Xu Qin away and went straight to the big table with wine behind him.
"Oh, my dear, what a wine pond and meat forest. It's so luxurious. I, the emperor, don't even have the money for you to play with."
Zhu Di picked up the tall glass and said drunkenly.
"This is the first time I have met my cousin. He is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I am amazed at how unparalleled he is."
Zhu Gaochi sold Xu Qin unceremoniously.
Xu Qinxin said that it was indeed the case, the prince's face was as thick as his body.
"Well, I believe this. The prince's duty is to be frugal. He is not like some little bastard. His knowledge of food is unparalleled in ancient and modern times." Zhu Di rolled his eyes at Xu Qin.
"Your Majesty has wronged the ministers. These were originally intended to be given to His Majesty, but the Crown Prince persuaded me. He said that Your Majesty, the co-owner of the world, is rich all over the world, and there is no shortage of these things. Let me stay in the Prince's Mansion and he can enjoy them slowly. .”
Xu Qin backhandedly slandered the prince.
"Nonsense, I don't know what my son is like. Don't be too extravagant at a young age. You can't control it. I will keep it for you. Don't leave Wang Zhong behind when he leaves."
Zhu Di didn't grab it directly. Fortunately, he gave an excuse this time. This is great progress.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I remember it clearly. There are thirteen kinds in total..." Wang Zhong replied.
Xu Qin finally accepted his fate and was at odds with Zhu Di for the rest of his life.
"By the way, where is my statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties?" Zhu Di held a tall glass and Wang Zhong poured a glass of wine for him.
"The drawings haven't come out yet. Your Majesty, please ask the court painter to come up with a drawing. A few more Buddhist ones."
Xu Qin asked Zhu Zhanji to leave and roasted the whole sheep himself. Zhu Di and the prince sat on the side with wine glasses and watched, while Zhu Zhanji was drinking secretly.
He drinks secretly at the age of eight or nine, and this adult doesn't care.
"There are both pros and cons. Although it can get money from the monks, it can also easily unite their hearts." Zhu Gaochi said.
"I ignored the feelings of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Japan already has it, so how could the Ming Dynasty not have it? They just cheated money and forgot about the national pride."
Xu Qin said while brushing the sauce and turning the mutton.
"National pride?" Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi chewed on this sentence. Both of them were outstanding people, and the more they thought about it, the more profound it became.
"Tell me more about this national pride!" Zhu Di was still not finished, thinking that this little bastard really had something else.
Xu Qin looked at Zhu Di, at Zhu Gaochi, and at Zhu Zhanji who was caught stealing wine.
"How lucky I am to face the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The right time, the right place, and the right people are all here. So just say a few random words."
Xu Qin said as he cut off a piece of roasted mutton, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Plan to hand it to Zhu Zhanji.
This kid obviously has a sore throat from drinking, so please let him go. But he handed it over with the knife attached, and Zhu Zhanji was sitting on Zhu Di's lap.
Wang Zhong's heart was in his throat, and he said, "You just finished talking about three generations of emperors, and you're going to show off your knife."
You are truly the only one in the ages.
