At that time, not long after Meng Yuanfang was expelled from the Central Plains, Neo-Confucianism and other Central Plains Confucianism were re-emerging, and restrictions on women were relatively loose. But even so, it is considered a novelty for a woman from a wealthy family to leave the house wearing men's clothing, let alone to meet a man like Zhu Su?
No wonder Xu Yungong looked strange just now, and Xiang Deng also hesitated to speak. Wasn't Zhu Su so shocked that he couldn't speak? He wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether to say hello or greet first. In the end, he could only look at Xu Yungong to the left and Xu Miaoyun to the right, with a blank look on his face.
In the end, it was Xu Miaoyun who spoke first. "My lady has met His Highness the King of Wu. I came in a hurry and did not send a message to inform you. I hope His Highness will not be surprised."
"No blame, no blame..." Zhu Su said blankly, turning to look at Xu Yungong on the other side. Xu Yungong explained helplessly: "The Marquis of Ji'an, the Marquis of Yan'an and others were arrested for their crimes, and their families squatted in front of the house day and night. I begged my family to come forward, so my sister and I had to sneak out through the side door, and we couldn’t hit the family carriage..."
Zhu Su nodded. If he couldn't take the carriage at home, he would have to hire a private carriage after leaving the house. That will inevitably lead to public appearances, and it is indeed less eye-catching to dress up in men's clothing.
As if she thought Xu Yungong talked too much, Xu Miaoyun secretly winked at her younger brother. Xu Yungong was excited, and then said: "Your Highness, please talk to my sister. Yungong is waiting outside the door." After saying that, he retreated outside the door with an awkward look on his face, and even closed the door.
Zhu Su couldn't help but laugh. He had known that Xu Yungong was a sister-in-law, but he didn't expect that Xu Miaoyun would be like a mouse meeting a cat. After sending Xu Yungong away, Xu Miaoyun said to Zhu Su, "I heard that His Highness was injured. Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Su replied. Speaking of which, this was his first time alone with Xu Miaoyun, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Especially, after I was forced to "write" the song "Look at the sky at dawn and the clouds at dusk".
Xu Miaoyun's face was also slightly red, and the girl pinched the hem of her clothes uncomfortably. After a while, she finally plucked up the courage and said in a slightly angry tone: "I heard from my father that after the banquet that day, His Highness took dozens of people alone. I immediately went after him. Your Highness’s daughter’s son, I hope you can protect yourself.”
"Then Zhu Xian was born in the Hou Mansion, and he has evil intentions. If he brings more elite soldiers from the Hou Mansion, and His Highness only has dozens of horsemen around him, how can he protect you?"
"Miaoyun is so frightened when he thinks about it afterwards. I hope that His Highness will never take any risks with his own life in the future."
"Even if you don't care about yourself, you should still think about... you should also think about the Queen's love for her son!"
Zhu Su was slightly stunned. In the past few days, many people came to visit him and care about his injury, but Xu Miaoyun was the first to feel scared because of Zhu Su's situation that night.
"Yes. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Zhu Su smiled slightly and made an extremely solemn promise to Xu Miaoyun. Only then did Xu Miaoyun realize that her words had transgressed, and Xiafei's cheeks suddenly touched her again.
She stepped back slightly, as if thinking about what to say next. After a while, she finally said: "Your Highness just told Yungong that you are going to Suzhou?"
"Yes. The affairs in the court started because of me, so my father found an excuse for me to go outside to avoid the affairs in the court." Zhu Su briefly explained.
"So..." Xu Miaoyun showed a hint of reluctance on her face, but quickly hid it. He said to Zhu Su, "Your Highness, does he have something to entrust Yungong to do?"
"Your Highness's knowledge of investigating objects was taught to me by Yungong. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help Your Highness?"
Xu Yungong had asked himself for advice on this matter. Professor Zhu Su's so-called "investigation of things" basically consisted of writing textbooks and then everyone took credit for what they learned. Among them, Li Jinglong only learned a rough idea of everything and was careless; Zhu Tiezhu always hid in his room and kept silent, not knowing the progress; Fang Xiaoru specialized in philosophy and tried to corroborate it with Confucianism, and gained a lot; and Xu Yungong applied what he learned The level is the highest among the four. We can already use the knowledge of physics to design simple equipment such as pulleys and use them in daily life.
Xu Yungong also told Zhu Su that the reason why he learned so quickly was actually because of his sister Xu Miaoyun. After Xu Miaoyun studied various physical knowledge and formulas relayed by him, he could often answer Xu Yungong's questions. With Zhu Su being an incompetent "teacher", Xu Miaoyun can almost be regarded as a private tutor dedicated to Xu Yungong's one-on-one tutoring. It is no wonder that Xu Yungong entered the country much faster than the others.
Xu Miaoyun also came to help improve the Jenny machine, but it couldn't be safer!
"There is indeed something important!" After realizing it, Zhu Su immediately told Xu Miaoyun about Jenny Machine.
"Other people think that cement and glass squares are my greatest use for checking objects. But they don't know that in my eyes, cement, glass and other objects are not as safe as this loom at this stage."
"As long as the problem of spinning a large amount of wool can be solved, the Ming Dynasty people's beautiful vision of 'every family has meat to eat and everyone has clothes to wear' will be half solved."
"Moreover, as long as wool can be produced, the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang will no longer be a tasteless land for the Han people that is 'tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.' In time, Uncle Xu will lead the army to annihilate the Northern Yuan Dynasty. , maybe we can completely bring Northern Xinjiang under the rule of our Ming Dynasty, and achieve unparalleled achievements in transcending the Han and Tang Dynasties and expanding the territory thousands of miles!"
Hearing Zhu Su's solemn words, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but look solemn. "Your Highness entrusts my sister and brother with such a great trust because he trusts his daughter and Yun Gong."
"This is disrespectful. My daughter and my brother accepted it."
Zhu Su smiled. Xu Miaoyun is indeed not an ordinary woman. If an ordinary boudoir woman hears that this matter is so closely related, she will definitely retreat. However, after hearing about the relationship, this woman showed her unyielding side, which shows her inner strength and responsibility.
Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Su with brilliant eyes. In his heart, Zhu Su has been regarded as an ambitious man who cares about the country and the people and has the world in mind.
After getting down to business, the two of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere in the room became increasingly ambiguous. Xu Miaoyun twisted the corner of her clothes and was about to speak again, but Xu Yungong's slightly artificial cough came from the door: "Ahem, Your Highness, sister, are you done talking?"
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows, but Zhu Su wanted to laugh. I'm afraid this sister is sitting on pins and needles standing outside. He immediately greeted Xu Yungong to come in.
Xu Yungong was present, so Xu Miaoyun didn't say much. Zhu Su once again entrusted the Jenny machine to the two Xu siblings, and then took out the drawings and explained his ideas in detail to the two of them. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yungong put the prototype of the Jenny machine on the carriage with great care and said goodbye to Xu Miaoyun.
Zhu Su got out of bed and took the two of them directly to the entrance of the village. Before leaving, Xu Miaoyun bowed to Zhu Su Yingying and sincerely wished Zhu Su a safe and smooth trip to Suzhou. After Zhu Su thanked him, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
But Xu Yungong had a complex look on his face, so he could only pretend he didn't see it.
