Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was still trying to hide something, and Zhu Xiongying who was holding his hand and trying to break up the situation.
Although the Zhu Biao brothers beside them wanted to laugh, at this time, it was a matter of their father's face, so they didn't dare to laugh even if they wanted to.
At this time, Lao Zhu looked at the eyes cast by his sons.
The only thing he could do was smile awkwardly. As for what to say...he didn't know for a while.
"Okay, okay, today's class is over, why don't we go sit at the Huxin Pavilion together. The weather is nice today, and it just so happens that my mother hasn't been able to bask in the sun with you for a long time."
When the atmosphere was about to reach freezing point, Queen Ma finally stepped forward to save the situation.
Her opening immediately freed everyone from their previous embarrassment.
Lao Zhu immediately picked up the great grandson in front of him and said with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, your mother is in a good mood today. Grandpa's good grandson, let's take you to the lake pavilion to go fishing. Grandpa will teach you personally."
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he hugged Zhu Xiongying and ran away without looking back.
Even his figure and back look a little embarrassed.
After he hugged Zhu Xiongying and ran away, everyone still heard a faint voice: You little guy, Grandpa Huang’s love for you is in vain, you know you’re going to poke my ass, don’t you?
After Zhu Yuanzhang disappeared, Queen Ma looked at the remaining brothers with a smile.
Of course, Chu Ze was brought in as well.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh. Your father is just like this. He insists on making simple things so complicated."
"Let's go and sit at the Lake Pavilion."
After Queen Ma finished speaking, she turned around with a smile and walked slowly in the direction Lao Zhu left.
Zhu Biao and others also followed him with smiles.
Zhu Bai also picked up the bamboo branch that his father had thrown away before at the corner.
And he put it in front of Zhu Di and shook it in a showy manner.
Of course, in exchange, Zhu Di suffered a brain breakdown.
"Chu Ze."
On the way to the Huxin Pavilion, Queen Ma, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, then turned around and waved to Chu Ze with a smile.
"The Queen."
After seeing Queen Ma waving to him, Chu Ze was a little confused, but he quickly came to her side.
"Can you find someone to make a copy of the pinyin and numbers you just taught me when I get back? I'm also very curious about what you taught."
When Chu Ze came to Queen Ma, she continued walking towards the Huxin Pavilion.
While walking, I started talking to Chu Ze.
And when Queen Ma mentioned the pinyin and numbers that she had just taught, Chu Ze was not surprised.
Queen Ma herself was born into a wealthy family.
It's not surprising that she would be interested in the things she teaches.
"Empress, what I just taught you is just some basics. In fact, all in all, it is the enlightenment knowledge for children in our future generations."
"And what I just taught is not comprehensive, especially Pinyin. When we learn Pinyin, we first recognize the entire alphabet, and then the teacher will teach me, which are the initial consonants, which are the finals, and what are the pronunciations of them? .”
[Here, I will focus on explaining to those who say that what I write is the English alphabet. When you learn Pinyin, don't you first recognize the letters, and then move on to the sounds, rhymes, and the whole? 】
"Pinyin is a complete set of phonetic notation tools. Generally speaking, it is difficult to learn if there is no one to teach you."
"So, I'm afraid just to make a copy for you."
Although it is not difficult to copy a pinyin table for Queen Ma, the gap between the pinyin glyphs and Chinese characters is really too big.
Moreover, Pinyin is mainly about sounds, not shapes.
Just copying a table is basically useless.
Of course, Chu Ze would naturally not say it out of fear that you wouldn't be able to understand it.
"I know what you are worried about. If you make a copy for me, I can let Xiongying teach me. He is learning from you, and I am learning from him. What do you think?"
Queen Ma looked at Chu Ze who was hesitant to speak, and naturally understood what he was worried about.
As for Chu Ze's concerns, she naturally has her own way of dealing with them.
"Then that's no problem, and if Xiongying can be a little teacher, it can also cultivate his self-confidence. This is a good thing."
After hearing Queen Ma's arrangement, Chu Ze said nothing more.
Being able to make Queen Ma interested in these things is also a good thing for Chu Ze.
"Why are you so slow? Look, we've all caught fish!"
When a group of people came to the lake pavilion in a hurry, Lao Zhu was holding Zhu Xiongying in his arms and holding a fishing rod in his hand.
When he saw everyone coming, he seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassment of eavesdropping earlier, and showed off his achievements to everyone with a smile on his face.
Naturally, Zhu Biao and others also selectively forgot about the previous events.
The people of the Eunuch Palace had already arranged the venue here early, and the tabletop in the pavilion in the center of the lake was now filled with all kinds of fruits.
After everyone sat down, only Qin King Zhu Ping, who looked decadent, stood aside at a loss.
From time to time, his eyes looked at his father with fear, and then turned to look at Queen Ma pitifully with a look of pleading.
However, facing Zhu Ming with a pleading look on his face, Queen Ma responded with a stern look.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xi felt even more sad.
His eldest brother was unwilling to plead for him, thinking that he was so wrong that he deserved what he deserved.
But now, even the queen mother, who usually loved them the most, showed that she didn't want to talk to him at all.
This result can be said to have made Zhu Ping's heart, which was already full of despair, couldn't help but be covered with a layer of frost.
"Chu Ze, you have been very active these days. After leaving the palace, you basically have to run towards the palace every day. How about we arrange a place for you in the palace?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang caught a small fish again, he also lost interest in fishing.
He held his obedient eldest grandson in his arms and sat down among the crowd.
When he first sat down, he did not forget to cast a stern look at Zhu Ming, who was standing beside him.
His face was full of disappointment.
And when he looked at Chu Ze, who was minding his own business drinking tea, he changed the subject and suddenly said such a meaningful sentence.
"Tell us, what have you been busy with lately!"
In Chu Ze's house, everyone from guards to workers to maids.
These people were basically arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chu Ze even suspected that even the several close maids and guards assigned to him by Zhu Biao were arranged by Lao Zhu.
After all, Lao Zhu is almost unprecedented and unprecedented in the field of spying.
The biggest spy leader in the Ming Dynasty is the one in front of him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chu Ze talked in his sleep several times and kicked the quilt several times during the night. As long as he wanted to know, it was definitely just an order.
But under this situation, he took the initiative to ask Chu Ze what he was busy with recently.
This question makes some sense.
"Your Majesty, you already know almost everything about what you are busy with on the surface. There is nothing more to say about this."
"As for those who are busy behind the scenes, they first plan to develop a set of teaching materials. I discussed this matter with Biao today, and Biao agreed."
"Yes, Father, regarding the teaching materials that Chu Ze mentioned, I made the decision without permission and agreed to it. I am preparing to report to you later."
When Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze mentioning himself, he quickly spoke and took over the conversation.
Lao Zhu, who originally had a serious look on his face, suddenly became gentle after seeing Zhu Biao speak.
"Hey, what kind of report are you going to make? You can make your own decision, Biao'er. Don't report everything to us. Just treat yourself as the emperor. We will listen to you."
"Dad, you can't say this nonsense. The prince is the prince. The Ming Dynasty can only have one emperor, and it must be you."
"Besides, my brothers are all here, how can you talk nonsense in front of them! This is against the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."
"And Xiongying and Twelve are still young. You should set an example. How could you..."
"Hey, we were wrong, we were wrong! We won't talk nonsense next time, Chu Ze, go on."
Originally, Lao Zhu just mentioned it casually, but his words made Zhu Biao frown immediately.
Then he told Lao Zhu a lot of truth.
This posture made Zhu Yuanzhang quickly admit that he had said something wrong, and pulled Chu Ze out in front of him.
"Aside from teaching materials, what else are you busy with? I heard that you and the fourth child played in the mud all morning today. What kind of trouble are you going to do again?"
“…”
When he heard his father suddenly mentioning him, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned pale.
He went to Chu Ze's house on an impromptu trip this morning, and then he was unexpectedly dragged by Chu Ze to work as a coolie all morning!
How could this have spread to his father’s ears in such a short time?
This is a bit too evil...
Compared to Zhu Di's shock. Chu Ze was much calmer.
Because he knows that these are normal.
So when Lao Zhu said this, he didn't show any surprise.
It was an expected thing, nothing to make a fuss about.
"We are researching a new pen specifically for students to practice writing while reading, mainly to reduce costs."
"It's similar to compiling textbooks. It's all for the same purpose. I plan to open a school in your era to see if I can spread the knowledge I learned later in your era in advance."
"In addition to compiling teaching materials, I originally planned to look for a place on this trip today so that I can open a school in the future."
"By the way, in addition to teaching materials and schools, I also need a group of teachers."
"Of course, the most important thing is that we need money."
"It just so happens that Your Majesty is here today, how about you see if you can approve this matter?"
Chu Ze had no intention of hiding his purpose.
Covering up too much in front of Lao Zhu will only arouse more suspicion in him.
If you have anything to say, it would be best if you say it directly.
"Do you just want to open a school?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard these arrangements from Chu Ze, he frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with what Chu Ze said.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking Chu Ze: Have you finished saying what you want to say? Is that all there is to it?
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, whose eyes were somewhat questioning, Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly...
"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's inconvenient for us to ask, what are the specific details of why you asked the Jinyi Guards to monitor me?"
"Could it be that...when I go to the toilet, there are people listening next to me..."
"Your Majesty, can we not be so arrogant..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior clearly felt that Chu Ze still had something to say.
What Chu Ze has not said yet is the content of his conversation with Zhu Di.
In the pavilion at that time, whether it was Chu Ze or Zhu Di, it was almost certain that there should be no talented people around.
But looking at Lao Zhu's look now, it was clear that he already knew the content of their conversation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept asking.
Although Chu Ze was not particularly disgusted by the fact of being spied on by Jin Yiwei.
But when I think about it, maybe when I go to the toilet to take a shower or something, there are still a pair of eyes secretly staring at you from some invisible corner.
Chu Ze couldn't help but feel numbness in his back.
"Your Majesty, if you want to know anything, you can ask me directly. After all, I know the capabilities of your Jin Yiwei better than anyone else."
"Besides, I'm surrounded by your people, so it's impossible. At the same time, I'm not interested in doing anything fancy."
"Can you please tell Jin Yiwei to stop staring at me like this while I'm doing some private things..."
"When I think about taking a shower or going to the toilet, someone might be watching me. My back can't help but feel numb."
“…”
After hearing Chu Ze's complaint, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang with extremely strange eyes.
It's a bit too much to stare at her while taking a shower and going to the toilet!
When Lao Zhu faced Chu Ze's complaint, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard! When did we let someone monitor you taking a bath and going to the toilet? Why do we know this?"
"Then if you didn't have someone spying on me all the time, why do you keep staring and asking questions!"
"Thankfully, you kid, you still think you are very smart. We are soldiers who never tire of deceiving you. If something happens to you, if you are deceived and you feel guilty, won't you say it out now?"
"No! You kid really has something to do, right? Otherwise, why are you so nervous?"
"."
Brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di on the side watched Chu Ze and Zhu Yuanzhang pull each other after this.
The brothers were amazed when they saw it.
After doing this, they even had the illusion that the people sitting in front of them were not two people at all.
But two foxes, one big and one small!
This one is trickier than the other.
At the same time, Zhu Biao and others suddenly had an illusion.
It seems that Chu Ze comes from later generations, the descendants of their old Zhu family!
This temperament somewhat follows that of his father.
Today, the second chapter is in place. By the way, I will explain the pinyin thing.
(End of chapter)
