The next day.
Huzi took his wife to greet Yang Xuan and Anqing.
The boy's face was full of spring breeze, and there was a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
You could tell he was happy.
An Qing took Lan Xiang to chat, leaving Hu Zi and Yang Xuan alone.
"Huzi, are you satisfied with this wife?"
Yang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
"I'm here, thank you so much, Lord Marquis!"
Huzi blushed and smiled, then bowed and thanked him.
The Marquis said that he would find a beautiful wife for him, but he actually found one.
More importantly, this is the daughter of the former Duke of Liang, Lan Yu.
You know, Lan Yu also has a daughter who is married to the King of Shu, Zhu Chun. Now, he can be regarded as the brother-in-law of the King of Shu.
"As long as you are satisfied. This girl Lan Xiang is my niece. You must treat her well and not let her be wronged." Yang Xuan warned.
"This is natural." Huzi agreed quickly.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan hummed slightly and nodded.
…
In the afternoon, Zhu Gaochi came to the door with his son.
Ask Yang Xuan to help teach his son.
When he heard this, Yang Xuan's head was pounding.
"No, doesn't your son have a teacher? Why are you still looking for me?"
He looked at Zhu Gaochi and said.
I am not the nanny of your old Zhu family, I am responsible for taking care of the children... Yang Xuan muttered in his heart.
"Uncle Master, you are much better than those gentlemen in this regard."
"I think back then, my second brother and I were taught by you too!"
"My second brother and I cannot achieve what we are today without your careful guidance."
Zhu Gaochi said good things.
Yang Xuan felt comfortable after hearing this, with a hint of pride hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Master is very happy when you say these things."
"But, my uncle refuses to help you take care of your child."
Zhu Gaochi's expression paused.
Then I immediately wondered if I had forgotten something?
Two seconds later, he reacted.
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't be without your support."
"Who do you think I am?" Yang Xuan pretended to be angry.
"One hundred taels of gold!" Zhu Gaochi raised a finger.
"It's not about money. I'm getting older and I don't have the energy to take care of my children anymore."
Yang Xuan said.
"Three hundred taels of gold!" Zhu Gaochi increased the price.
"Uncle, I also have difficulties, you have to be considerate!"
Hearing Yang Xuan's words, Zhu Gaochi opened his five fingers.
"Five hundred taels of gold, one price!"
"Deal!" Yang Xuan's face was immediately filled with a smile and he held Zhu Gaochi's hand.
"Oh, look at you. As far as our relationship is concerned, uncle, can you not help me with your work?"
Yang Xuan said enthusiastically.
The corner of Zhu Gaochi's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: What you said is enough to deceive the second child.
Xiao Zhu Zhanji on the side witnessed the whole process and realized for the first time that his great uncle was so thick-skinned.
"Then, Uncle Master, Zhan Ji will have to trouble you in the future." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
"It's easy to say, but the emperor's grandson has other subjects, and I can't teach him every day."
"Just once every few days will be enough." Yang Xuan said.
"Okay." Zhu Gaochi said, approving Yang Xuan's arrangement.
As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Di was also very concerned about his education. He asked Yao Guangxiao to be his grandson's teacher and teach him how to govern the country.
He taught Sun Tzu the art of war, strategy, and the emperor's mind.
It can be said that this grandson bears Zhu Di's expectations for the future.
After discussing the matter, Yang Xuan asked Zhu Gaochi to take his son back.
Lan Yu could not stay in the capital for long. After his daughter Lan Xiang came back, he would have to return to Zhongshan to continue guarding the mausoleum.
So in the next two days, Yang Xuan basically spent time with Lan Yu.
On the third day after getting married, Huzi and his wife came to visit the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The two stayed for a day and went home when it was almost dark.
On the fourth day, Lan Yu's family said goodbye to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan personally sent them out of the capital and also prepared a lot of things for them.
"Brother, take care."
"Take care of yourself!"
The two hugged and separated. Yang Xuan stopped quietly, watching Lan Yu and his carriage go further and further away.
When the carriage disappeared from sight, Yang Xuan withdrew his gaze and returned to the capital.
He decided to teach Xiao Zhu Zhanji in the next two days.
But what to teach is a bit of a headache.
After much thought, he felt that he should take Xiao Zhu Zhanji to experience the sufferings of the people.
The future king of a country cannot be too far away from the people at the bottom.
He did what he said. He went to the East Palace to lead the people out and went to the outskirts of the city.
At the feet of the Emperor, the people here live a better life than in other places.
But the good is limited.
Yang Xuan took Xiao Zhu Zhanji through the villages, telling him interesting folk stories and trivial things between neighbors.
Children are naturally very interested in stories, and Yang Xuan is following his interest.
After completing a circle, Yang Xuan finally brought Xiao Zhu Zhanji to Zhuangzi under the name of Anqing.
There is an experimental field here where seeds brought back by Zheng He from overseas are planted.
But it’s almost March now, and what was sown last year has been harvested.
Some of them can be used as vegetables, and the rest have been tested and are not poisonous, but they are not delicious.
When returning to the capital, Yang Xuan told Xiao Zhu Zhanji why Zheng He was asked to find seeds overseas.
And the importance of this matter to Ming Dynasty.
"Although you can see now that the Ming Dynasty is rich in products, you have to know that more than a thousand years ago, many things were not available on our land."
"Even the staple food is just millet, which only the nobles can afford."
“For ordinary people, it’s already a big deal if they can have a bowl of beans and rice.”
"And the method of processing the ingredients at that time was also very simple. Basically, you just boil it, add some salt and eat it."
“There’s even less seasoning.”
"It wasn't until Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions that our crops became richer."
"The stir-fried dishes we eat today only appeared in the Song Dynasty."
"The world is big and the times are also developing. Zheng He was able to bring back crop seeds that we have never seen before when he went overseas."
"At the same time, communicating overseas allows Daming to understand what other countries are overseas and their development history."
"We don't know whether one day in the future, a certain overseas country will develop and become the enemy of our Ming Dynasty."
"So we have to keep an eye on them all the time."
"Born in sorrow, died in happiness."
"A country is like this, and the king of a country needs to keep this sentence in mind at all times."
"If you are immersed in the beautiful dream of the heavenly kingdom described by your ministers, and you are still reluctant to wake up."
"That will do indelible harm to this country."
Yang Xuan expanded the topic from property to national security.
"Uncle Master, I will remember your words."
Xiao Zhu Zhanji looked serious.
"Well, I believe you."
Yang Xuan gave the little guy a trusting smile.
