After talking about business, Lao Zhu chatted with Zhu Biao for a few words.
Then Zhu Biao was sent away.
After finishing the things at hand quickly, I saw that it was already getting late.
Lao Zhu planned to go to Kunning Palace to see his sister.
Since the beginning of the Hu Weiyong case, Lao Zhu and Queen Ma have had several quarrels.
In order to save some officials from Lao Zhu, Queen Ma even went on a hunger strike to force him.
Because she accompanied Lao Zhu to conquer the world when she was young, Queen Ma's body was damaged.
After this quarrel and a hunger strike, Queen Ma's body suddenly collapsed.
Although he has gotten better in recent days, Lao Zhu is still worried.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Lao Zhu and Yu'er first learned about Queen Ma's situation.
"Reply to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has gotten better these days, and she even ate half a bowl of porridge today!" Yu'er replied.
"Haha, okay." Lao Zhu felt confident.
Immediately he walked in.
Looking at Queen Ma resting on the bed, Lao Zhu slowly walked to the bed and sat down.
Then he took Queen Ma's hand and looked at his sister quietly.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had looked at his girl so quietly.
The last time seemed to be the day the two got married.
That night, he promised his sister that he would build her a large Chaotian Palace in the future.
At that time, my girl had black hair all over her head and her eyes were full of hope for the future.
But now, what I see in my eyes is not only fatigue, but also fatigue, and there is no longer the glory of youth.
Lao Zhu just recalled every bit of the past between himself and his sister, but he didn't notice that Queen Ma was awake.
"Zhong, Zhongba!"
Queen Ma called softly, pulling Lao Zhu out of his memory state.
"Hey, sister, sister..." Lao Zhu looked at his sister and laughed.
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone get you some food." Lao Zhu said again.
"No, please help me up first and let me lean on you for a while." Queen Ma shook her head and said weakly.
"Hey, okay." Lao Zhu quickly helped Queen Ma up and let her lean on his shoulders.
In this way, Lao Zhu can also hug his sister.
"Sister, you have to take good care of yourself."
"It's my fault that I didn't come over to see you these past few days."
Lao Zhu said softly.
"Chongba, I still say what I said, Zhongshu Province cannot cancel it!" Queen Ma said.
She knew that Lao Zhu didn't like hearing this, but she had to say it.
Because she is the queen of the Ming Dynasty.
To Queen Ma's surprise, Lao Zhu was not angry this time.
"Sister, don't worry, just listen to us."
"We know what you are worried about. No, Biao'er has already helped us think about how to deal with the impact of canceling the Zhongshu Province." Lao Zhu explained.
Barabara…
Then, Lao Zhu repeated what Zhu Biao said.
Queen Ma nodded frequently. She was also a well-read poet and could clearly understand the good and bad of this.
"Sister, you don't have to worry now, right?"
"Chongba, I still say the same thing. As long as I see you doing something wrong, I will definitely say it." Queen Ma said.
"Sure, as long as your body can get better, you can say whatever you want." Lao Zhu said.
"Is this what you said?"
"That's what we said."
Then Lao Zhu chatted with his sister for a while, and then left Kunning Palace.
…
Zhu Biao, on the other side, took Yang Xuan and formed the cabinet within a few days.
With these young officials, Zhu Biao and Yang Xuan felt much more relaxed.
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the thirteenth year of Hongwu.
Queen Ma's health has almost recovered, and Yang Xuan has visited her several times.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Yang Xuan, wearing a big cloak, looked at the falling snowflakes and said softly: "It's snowing again!"
Not far away, several junior brothers and sisters were playing in the snow, laughing constantly.
Bang!
At this time, a snowball hit Yang Xuan.
"Brother, let's play together!" Xu Zengshou smiled provocatively.
"Okay, please don't tell the teacher that I bully you later." Looking at the expectant eyes of his junior brothers and sisters, Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"A manly man, I won't complain!" Xu Zengshou said with his hands on his hips.
"That's what you said."
Soon after, Xu Zengshou cried and found Xu Da, who was teasing his little daughter: "Dad, senior brother, he is bullying others."
"He poured snow down my neck."
"Woooooo~~~"
Seeing this, Xu Da was filled with hatred: "Why did I give birth to a son like you?"
"What does it look like to cry?"
"Woooooo~~" At this moment, the infant daughter next to her also started crying.
Xu Da suddenly became anxious and quickly picked up his daughter, patting her gently and coaxing her.
"Oh oh oh, girl, let's not cry!"
"Daddy was teaching your brother a lesson just now, not you."
"Oh~oh~"
"Be good, girl!"
Xu Zengshou next to him cried even louder when he saw that his father's eyes were all about his sister.
This cry turned Xu Da's efforts into ashes.
"Get out, get out quickly, I'll get upset when I see you." Xu Da kicked Xu Zengshou on the butt.
"Damn it!"
Why am I always the one who gets hurt... Xu Zengshou's little head was filled with doubts.
Yang Xuan was outside listening to the commotion inside, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
He had already guessed this result.
After going in and bringing Xu Zengshou out, Yang Xuan quickly led him to take a shower and change clothes to avoid catching a cold.
Colds in ancient times were not likely to kill people like in later generations.
"Senior brother, you are the best." After taking a shower and changing clothes, Xu Zengshou looked at Yang Xuan with a grateful face.
"You boy, you are so good and fun-loving!" Yang Xuan pointed his finger on Xu Zengshou's forehead and said angrily.
He still had a good relationship with Xu Zengshou. Every time he made him cry, he would be back to his original state in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, hehehe!" Xu Zengshou shook his head and smiled stupidly without saying anything.
As the New Year was approaching, Yang Xuan found a day with nice weather, and he and Xu Yungong took a few junior brothers and sisters to visit the Confucius Temple.
This time Yang Xuan did not go to Goulan to listen to music.
After the Hu Weiyong case, several brothels along the Qinhuai River were implicated, and the girls inside didn't know how to deal with them.
After visiting the Confucius Temple, Xu Zengshou and his children each held a snack in their hands.
Yang Xuan felt very happy when he saw how delicious they were eating.
In his heart, these little guys are no different from his own brothers and sisters.
He was very happy to spend money on them.
Think of it as making up for your younger siblings who didn't get to enjoy the day!
Soon, New Year's Eve arrived.
Yang Xuan followed Xu Da into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Zhu and receive a red envelope by the way.
Back at the Duke of Wei's mansion, Yang Xuan watched his servants hanging lanterns and pasting couplets, and sometimes even went up to help.
Then I went to the kitchen to see what was available.
So uncomfortable!
