Yangshi Bridge.
The willow trees on both sides of the bank are like graceful women, with their long hair hanging down softly, using the water as a mirror to admire their own faces.
Wow.
The paddle stirred the water and broke the mirror. The willow tree was angry and shook in protest.
Tang Sai'er stood on the bridge, watching the ships going south and north, and watching the pedestrians going east and west. His mood was always a little dull, and he couldn't be happy no matter what.
"Saier!"
Zhu Zhanji ran over panting, still holding two bunches of candied haws on a stick in his hand. When he got close, he handed a bunch to Tang Sai'er and said with a smile: "It's not easy to find. The people who make candied haws around here have moved north, so I ran away." I bought it a long way away, try it now."
Tang Sai'er took it, looked at the hawthorn wrapped in rock sugar and said, "The candied haws on a stick is sweet yet sour inside. It's telling us that inside all the sweetness, there's actually sadness, right?"
Zhu Zhanji stepped up the steps and looked at Tang Saier in confusion: "What's wrong with you today? I don't have so much emotion when eating candied haws on weekdays. I'll laugh for a long time after one bite."
Tang Sai'er turned around and looked at the boats on the Qinhuai River: "Tell me, who are they busy for?"
When Zhu Zhanji saw the busy boatmen, the businessmen carrying luggage, the scholars holding scrolls, and the people preparing to carry food, he sighed: "Of course they are busy for their families."
Tang Saier looked at Zhu Zhanji: "Then why are you busy?"
"I?"
Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised and said quickly: "Of course it's for my family and for Ming Dynasty."
Tang Saier looked at Zhu Zhanji and stuffed the candied haws back: "Go for your family!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Tang Saier who turned to leave, confused, and quickly chased after him, but the safety of the second game
The door was closed and he wouldn't open it at all.
"I didn't provoke you. I was just a little late in order to buy you some candied haws. As for that..."
Zhu Zhanji was puzzled. He shouted several times but didn't open the door, so he had to turn around and leave.
East Palace.
Zhu Wenkui was very busy. There were too many facts about moving the capital, and many things required signing of documents.
For example, how much food should be allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, the transfer of officials, the approval of Daoli fees, and even which utensils should be brought to Peking by the Ministry of Rites and which should be left in Nanjing also need to be discussed.
This is also necessary. The Ming Dynasty moved the capital, but did not move the tomb. Taizu is still lying in the Xiaoling Mausoleum on Zhongshan. It will not be easy to entertain him during the New Year and festivals if he is not left with some utensils.
Fortunately, Yang Pu and Yang Rong were both in the East Palace, and Yao Guangxiao also lived in the East Palace after returning, providing a lot of help to Zhu Wenkui in reviewing documents.
After being busy until dusk, Zhu Wenkui breathed a sigh of relief when stacks of documents were taken away.
Han Xiayu sighed at Zhu Wenkui who was rubbing his wrists, somewhat complaining: "The emperor has put too much burden on you. Such a big thing as moving the capital falls entirely on you alone..."
Zhu Wenkui stood up and said with a smile: "My father once said that if Mo Daojun leaves early, there will be people who leave early. Whenever I feel that I got up early, I will remember that my father got up earlier to review the documents. Every time I feel tired and want to When you are relaxed, remember that your father sometimes stays up all night thinking about state affairs. Our tiredness is just saying that we leave early, but we don’t know that there are even more tired and diligent people who leave early than us."
Don't complain about yourself, there are people who have taken the lead before this.
Zhu Wenkui will not complain about the current situation because he has a father who leads by example.
Be a role model.
Han Xiayu arranged the dinner and took Zhu Wenkui to sit down. Just as he was about to use his chopsticks, the chamberlain announced that Zhu Zhanji was here.
Zhu Wenkui and Han Xiayu looked at each other and asked Zhu Zhanji to come in.
Looking at the distracted Zhu Zhanji, Han Xiayu suddenly smiled: "Needless to say, at first glance, it was obvious that he was bullied by Tang Sai'er."
Zhu Wenkui nodded in agreement.
Tang Saier has a good relationship with Zhu Zhanji, but this does not prevent Tang Saier from bullying Zhu Zhanji.
One is a girl who grew up in a den of thieves of the White Lotus Sect and fled alone for thousands of miles. The other is a smart and understanding genius who can do anything at once. The two of them can work together.
Fighting back and forth, no matter who wins or loses, is awesome.
Zhu Wenkui asked: "Tell me, did she leave a dead snake in your bed, or saw off the legs of your table?"
Zhu Zhanji raised his head in confusion, his distracted eyes focused, and then he saw Zhu Wenkui and Han Xiayu clearly, he saluted quickly, and then asked, "When did you come?"
"ah?"
Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised and pointed at his feet: "This is the East Palace."
Zhu Zhanji was startled, and after looking around, he was surprised to realize that it was the East Palace. He was a little unbelievable: "How did I get to the East Palace?"
Han Xiayu was a little worried and looked at Zhu Wenkui: "How about asking an imperial physician to take a look at him?"
Zhu Wenkui glanced at the two bunches of candied haws in Zhu Zhanji's hand, then looked at Han Xiayu, and said with a smile: "No need, go and get my treasured tea."
Han Xiayu understood, got up and left.
Zhu Wenkui motioned Zhu Zhanji to sit down and asked, "Have you gone to find Tang Sai'er?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded repeatedly and said somewhat numbly: "I kindly bought her candied haws, but she didn't appreciate it.
He said a lot of bitter words about why he was so busy, shut the door on me, and refused to open the door..."
After Zhu Wenkui heard Zhu Zhanji's complaint, he asked softly: "I want to ask you a question, did you tell Tang Sai'er personally about your going to America?"
"No." After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he lowered his head: "I don't know how to tell her."
Zhu Wenkui glared at Zhu Zhanji depressedly: "If you don't tell her about this, wouldn't she know about it? Now everyone in the Yan Palace is preparing for this matter, and the Sixth Department, the Fifth Army Commander's Office, and the Navy Commander's Office are all involved. , such a big move, how could she not know about it? Don’t forget, she lives in the Second Bureau of Security, and she also has the right to read the non-confidential information of the Second Bureau."
Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Wenkui doubtfully: "Even if I don't tell her, I won't be so angry, right?"
Zhu Wenkui picked up the chopsticks and said with a straight face like an adult: "In my father's words, you don't regard her as a relative. In the past, Gu and Xia Yu also had a quarrel. He didn't understand her thoughts and got angry inexplicably. I found out later. , it’s not that she is confused, but that there are things that should be said that I didn’t tell her, treating her as an outsider. She is a sensitive person, and Tang Saier is even more sensitive.”
Zhu Zhanji admitted that he envied the relationship between Zhu Wenkui and Han Xiayu. The two were considered "childhood sweethearts". They had never bullied each other. They only supported each other and accompanied each other. He thought they had never had any quarrels, but he didn't expect them to have any. Live unhappy times.
An outsider?
Zhu Zhanji looked at the two bunches of candied haws in his hand, thought of something, stood up and said, "I'm going to find Tang Sai'er right now!"
Zhu Wenkui looked at Zhu Zhanji who saluted and ran out, and looked at him as he walked in
Han Xiayu came and said, "Do you think Tang Sai'er will accept the candied haws of sugar?"
Han Xiayu smiled: "He is rock candy, Sai'er is hawthorn."
