"Brother, you are so brave, you dare to reveal this king list."
"Little brother, I advise you to think about it again. Don't be blinded by wealth."
"I heard that Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Prince Yan, was very powerful. Several people were beaten so hard that they couldn't get out of bed..."
In Peiping City, when Li Xiao unveiled the king list, many people around him looked at him as if he were a fool.
After all, if you marry an ugly guy, even if you have glory and wealth, you will lose the joy of being a man.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu is not someone to be trifled with. He might offend Prince Yan's Mansion.
Want to get rich and take a concubine?
Don’t even think about it!
Who doesn't know that in Yandi, Zhu Di always speaks the truth.
If he dares to take a concubine, King Zhu Di of Yan will definitely want his head.
It is a man's tragedy to have to spend his whole life guarding ugly monsters.
But Li Xiao didn't care about these sarcastic remarks. After revealing the king's list, he inquired about the location of Prince Yan's Mansion and walked towards Prince Yan's Mansion.
That's right, Li Xiao finally made up his mind after a series of ideological struggles last night.
So before dawn, we rushed to Beiping Mansion.
When the guard guarding the city gate heard that he was here to unveil the king's list, he looked at him with strange eyes and let him in without saying a word.
"This is Peiping, the future capital of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Forbidden City has not yet been established..."
Li Xiao looked at Beijing hundreds of years ago and couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that in a few years, King Yan would become the legendary Emperor Yongle.
If he could really marry the princess, he would become the consort of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Xiao was still a little excited at the thought of having the opportunity to meet the legendary Zhu Di.
Not long after.
Li Xiao then arrived at the door of Prince Yan's Mansion.
The gate of Prince Yan's Mansion is really grand. The four gates are ten feet wide. The two majestic stone lions at the door declare that this is the most powerful mansion in Peiping!
After explaining his intention, the guard did not dare to neglect and immediately went to report.
After a while, the door creaked open.
A handsome young man walked out from inside, this man was Zhu Gaoxu.
"Are you the one who revealed the king's list?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Xiao, and his first impression was not bad.
His skin is dark and his appearance is as handsome as his own.
The most important thing is to look honest and honest, giving people a sense of intimacy.
"Exactly."
Li Xiao quickly handed over his hand.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: "What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do?"
Li Xiao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied: "I am Li Xiao, from Wanping County, Beiping Prefecture... I am currently working as a farmer at home. What do you call me?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Li Xiao and said, "I am Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan. Come with me first!"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the mansion.
Although it can be seen at a glance that this young man probably has no background.
But this time when recruiting a son-in-law, I didn't originally plan to find someone who was well-matched. I just wanted someone who was really good to the princess.
"yes."
Li Xiao cupped his hands and followed him.
There are many buildings in the mansion, which are grand and magnificent, with carved beams and paintings, mountains and rivers, and roads made of white bricks. You can also see the octagonal pavilion located in a beautiful place.
Li Xiao couldn't help being surprised when he saw such a mansion for the first time.
Compared with his earthen house, it was nothing like clouds and mud.
This is the future King of Han Zhu Gaoxu... that braised chicken... he does look very heroic.
Li Xiao followed Zhu Gaoxu and walked around until he came to a palace.
"Please take a seat."
"Come here, make some tea."
Zhu Gaoxu ordered, and then he sat down on his own. Li Xiao found a stool and sat down.
Soon the maid brought tea and arranged it.
"No rush, let's have a sip of tea first."
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the tea cup without looking at Li Xiao.
"Yes, Prince."
Li Xiao, who was neither humble nor arrogant, picked up the tea cup and began to taste the tea.
I have to say, this is a good tea, with a sweet taste in your mouth and a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.
The two of them just drank tea in silence, slightly silent.
It seems that marrying a princess is not that easy. You have to pass the test of Zhu Gaoxu... Also, how can a dignified princess marry a country man casually?
While Li Xiao was drinking tea, Zhu Gaoxu was secretly looking at him.
People from this kind of imperial family have their own set of standards for looking at people, and they first look at their words, deeds, and actions.
Li Xiao gave Zhu Gaoxu a good feeling.
A farmer doesn't have any great skills, but he has a kind face. I don't know if he can withstand the test that follows.
"By the way, how old are you this year?"
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked.
"This year is twenty-one, and in one month it will be twenty-two."
Li Xiao replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly surprised: "How come you haven't married yet at the age of twenty-two?"
Generally speaking, in this kind of farmer's family, the man gets married and has children when he is seventeen or eighteen years old.
Li Xiao was prepared and said: "Because my parents are in poor health and need to be taken care of, life-long events have been delayed. My parents died a year ago, and they have been delayed again because of filial piety."
"I didn't expect you to be a very filial person."
Zhu Gaoxu's favorable impression of Li Xiao increased.
"Thank you for the prince's compliment, it's just a matter of duty." Li Xiao said.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Drink tea, come and serve tea."
That's it.
It took him half an hour to drink this tea, which made Li Xiao want to go to the toilet.
Half an hour later.
A servant hurriedly entered the hall, and beside Zhu Gaoxu, he whispered:
"I found it... This person's name is Li Xiao. He is from Dashukou Village, Wanping County, under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture. He has been a farmer for generations."
"This person is twenty-one years old this year. Both his parents died of illness last year. Now he is the only one at home."
"I haven't married yet and have children, and my family background is innocent..."
It turns out that Zhu Gaoxu was waiting here, waiting for someone to find out Li Xiao's hometown.
This kind of thing must be investigated clearly to avoid the scum of people who marry and have children and abandon their wives and children in pursuit of wealth.
"Both my parents are dead, I worked as a farmer, and my family background is clean..."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his family background.
After all, her sister was disfigured, and she no longer considered her family background. She was not as powerful as Prince Yan's family anyway, so she just wanted someone who would treat her well.
And such a carefree person can save a lot of trouble.
Of course, the premise is that it can withstand the test...
Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically, he stood up abruptly, stared at Li Xiao and said: "Well, Li Xiao, a mountain villager also wants to climb up to our Prince Yan's Mansion, what is your purpose?"
Is this Zhu Gaoxu's test... Li Xiao was slightly startled.
The other party is the son of the prince, with a noble status. He has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and he looks brave.
Ordinary people would definitely be frightened by such a scolding.
But Li Xiao was mentally prepared last night and thought of various ways to deal with it.
In addition, he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and his psychological quality is not bad, and he quickly came back to his senses.
Li Xiao said calmly: "Prince, this is wrong."
Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said, "Am I right?"
"Of course not!" Li Xiao objected.
Zhu Gaoxu stared, he didn't expect this boy to be so tough?
He actually dared to refute himself, which was infinitely better than the previous few people who were frightened.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Xiao raised his hands toward the sky and said respectfully:
"In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the current sage once said: Everyone says that farming and mulberry trees, clothing and food are the foundation, but abandoning the foundation and pursuing the inferiority, few can save the shortcomings..."
"If you don't farm, you'll have nothing to eat. If you don't work, you'll have nothing to do. Agriculture is the foundation, so how can farmers be called 'mountain villagers'?"
"Such a title is completely contrary to the Holy Spirit's philosophy and is extremely disrespectful!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned immediately.
This guy...does he have something?
Is this really what a farmer said?
