The two of them walked along the palace road aimlessly.
Zhu Fang asked Chu Ze: "We heard that my father gave you a big watermelon as a reward. Is this true?"
Chu Ze admitted frankly: "Yes, it's true."
"...Why is your father so stingy?" Zhu Xiang's brows tightened.
He had previously thought that someone in the palace had conveyed the wrong message, and came here specifically to find Chu Ze, just to ask if the matter was true or false.
It turned out to be true...
Zhu Ping was puzzled.
His old Zhu family doesn’t have anything else, but there are always gold, silver and jewelry, right?
As for giving someone a watermelon?
Moreover, this man had just made so many contributions to him.
His father is really getting more and more stingy.
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Ming's unhappy expression and smiled silently.
When Zhu Xi saw him smiling, he became even more dissatisfied.
"No, why are you laughing? Can you still laugh at this?!" I'm afraid it's not a lack of heart!
"Tsk, why are you looking at us like that?" It made him look like a fool.
Chu Ze was a little unhappy with Zhu Xi's eyes.
Zhu Ming no longer concealed his disgusted expression: "These looks are all polite, we didn't directly call you stupid."
Chu Ze: "...Then you'd better use your eyes."
If it doesn't work, just don't look at it.
Seeing Chu Ze's nonchalant expression, Zhu Xi couldn't help but feel angry.
"No, can you make some demands? Do you really want to sell just a watermelon? We all feel bad for you! No, we have to go to our father. How can this be possible?" Zhu Xi turned around and asked. Walk.
Chu Ze quickly reached out and grabbed the person back.
"What are you going to do?"
Chu Ze's voice was a little deep.
Zhu Feng said: "What else can we do? Of course, it is to get some rewards for you."
Just a watermelon, if word spreads about it, it will bring shame on the Ming Dynasty royal family.
"Tsk, we don't mind. What do you mind?" Chu Ze had a headache. He dragged Zhu Ming to the testing site and said, "Don't make trouble. The emperor must have done this because of his motives. Don't worry about it. .”
Zhu Ping was still unhappy, but in the end he stopped struggling.
He asked: "Then tell me, father, what is his intention?"
The intention was simply that because his contribution was too great, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he had evil intentions.
Chu Ze said that this worry was unnecessary.
He just wanted to expand Ming's strength as much as possible and had no interest in becoming emperor.
He doesn't even want to be an official, so why would he want to be an emperor?
He has to go to court every day before dawn, why should he die from exhaustion?
How could I be as free as I am now?
But Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious by nature and cannot change it.
If he didn't doubt himself, Chu Ze would still find it strange.
But he didn't intend to tell Zhu Xi.
Chu Ze decided to fool around.
"Your father, you want us to try something new. We have been away for so long, and we don't know what is going on at the testing site now. Come on, come with us to see if they have made any new progress." Chu Ze changed the subject. It was a bit stiff, but Zhu Xi could see that Chu Ze just didn't want to tell him.
No sense of loyalty!
Zhu Xi pulled a face and reluctantly followed Chu Ze to the testing site.
Before he even got close, he heard a commotion and chatter inside, but Chu Ze was stunned not to hear a single useful word.
His face became solemn, and his entire aura changed.
He walked quickly to the entrance and saw a mess inside, and he was about to start a fight.
Chu Ze was so angry that his Dantian——
"Shut up, everyone!"
The testing ground fell silent.
They were used to being free at the testing ground, who dared to be so cruel to them?
The people in the palace, except for the emperor and the queen, no one else in the palace was respectful to them.
Someone actually dared to yell at them today.
What a courageous person.
Everyone wants to see who this person is, and then...
"Dean?!"
After they saw clearly who was standing at the door, the stern expressions on their faces instantly turned into joy.
The next second, they all ran towards Chu Ze.
"Dean, why are you back?"
"Dean, we never heard when you came back."
"Dean, come and see, we have cultivated new seedlings during this period of time."
"The dean should go and see us first. The trees that the dean asked us to cultivate are now bearing fruit. We can see them and eat them in a few days. When they mature, I will send them to the dean immediately. .”
The shouts of the dean made Chu Ze’s ears numb.
It's noisy, just like a wet market.
"Everyone be quiet." Chu Ze was pulled by them and almost torn into pieces.
If Chu Ze didn't stop, he would probably be the first person to be "cut into pieces".
Seeing them stop, Chu Ze quickly shook off their hands, straightened his clothes, and asked in a deep voice: "As soon as we came back, I heard you guys making trouble here day by day. Is it because we are not around? Want to go to heaven?!”
When everyone saw Chu Ze lose his temper, they looked at each other and said with a smile: "How could that be?"
"We don't dare to mess around."
"If this really goes to heaven, you won't be able to come back."
These people are used to joking with Chu Ze on weekdays, and it is the same now.
You said something to me and made jokes.
Normally, Chu Ze might have joked with them.
But today Chu Ze didn’t want to.
He had only been here for a few days, and these people were already making such a fuss.
If one day he leaves for a longer time, wouldn't it cause chaos?
Chu Ze deliberately bluffed and asked, "Then what were you doing just now?"
Chu Ze's words seemed to have triggered some mechanism. The people who had been peaceful just now were instantly divided into two camps.
The camp on the left consists of people who focus on agricultural cultivation, headed by Lao Chentou. He pointed to the group of people on the right and said: "Dean, when you mention this matter, you can comment on it! We have carefully served the grafted peach for several months. , it took a lot of effort to grow two, but all the chickens he raised were pecked by us! Dean, do you think he should be beaten?"
The people on the right are those who mainly breed animals, headed by Mr. Zhang. Hearing this, he immediately said to Chu Ze: "They are evil people and complain first! Our chicken pecked his peach, then he just comes to us. Why do you want to kill our chickens? Those are the chickens we use for breeding! I don’t know how much effort it took to transport them from other places to Yingtian, and then let them stew them!"
"Then we have been shouting there for so long, why don't you say anything? When we kill all the chickens and you say nothing, you are obviously seeing that the chickens can no longer be bred. I think you are too arrogant, so you can't breed good chickens. Let’s put the blame on us!”
"You fart! It's obvious that the peach you cultivated failed, and you deliberately took the blame for our chicken!"
"You're the one farting, our old Zhang family doesn't have such virtue!"
"Then you'll pay for our chicken!"
"You pay for our peach first!"
"It's obviously you who killed our chicken, why should we pay for it!"
"That's because your chicken ate our peach first, and then we killed the chicken!"
"Come on, no matter how much we argue, we can't come up with a solution. The dean is here, let's let the dean comment and find out whose fault it is!"
"Okay, Dean, tell me whose problem this is!"
Chu Ze: "..."
