Lao Zhu's heart was covered with a layer of gloom.
The smarter and more capable Su Jing is, the happier he is.
Because only in this way can Zhu Biao learn more and sit in his position more firmly in the future.
But in the same way, Su Jing is also a double-edged sword. If she cannot control it, Zhu Biao will be injured.
The only thing that made Lao Zhu feel more at ease was that Su Jing did not have any power in the court.
Talented and capable, but just a loner.
Don't look at Lao Zhu who usually looks down on Su Jing in front of Queen Ma.
But in fact, it was just because he wanted to reassure Queen Ma.
Queen Ma's love for Su Jing is visible to the naked eye.
"Su Jing, Su Jing, I hope you are really smart enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.
"Chongba, what's wrong with you? What are you feeling about?"
Queen Ma walked towards Lao Zhu carrying a plate of snacks.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Sister, what delicious food have you brought me again?"
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon. The imperial kitchen has made a lot of mooncakes. They look good, so I'll bring some for you to try."
Queen Ma placed the mooncakes in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's table and happened to see Zhu Biao's reply.
"Did Biaoer reply again? What did he write this time?"
Queen Ma reached out and picked it up and started looking at it.
"Just some recent things."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention at all and ate the mooncakes by himself.
A mixture of sugar and oil was always popular in ancient times when supplies were scarce.
Even though Lao Zhu was already the emperor, he had eaten a lot of delicacies.
But the memory of his time as a civilian is still there, and mooncakes are still very delicious to him.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Su would do this in this matter. He is truly worthy of Mr. Su!"
Queen Ma sighed after reading it.
She has always recognized and appreciated Su Jing's abilities.
She also knew that her husband, Lao Zhu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was always very suspicious of the people around him.
Queen Ma can also understand. After all, as an emperor, it is impossible not to be suspicious of many things.
But she also knew the importance of Su Jing to the Ming Dynasty.
She must be a good lubricant between Lao Zhu and Su Jing. Talents like Su Jing must not disappear inexplicably because of Lao Zhu's suspicion.
Whether it's the shoes he made himself, Zhu Biao's jade pendant, or the cloak that Lao Zhu once used.
These are all for the purpose of stacking armor for Su Jing.
Of course, no matter how thick the armor is, for Lao Zhu, it is nothing compared to a word from Queen Ma.
For Lao Zhu, this kind of nostalgia is only for his family.
"Indeed, Su Jing behaves like a general, and Biao'er can learn a lot from him."
Zhu Yuanzhang ate two months of cakes and nodded.
When Empress Ma heard this, she was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Chongba, what's wrong with you? I don't usually see you commenting like this on Mr. Su."
No matter how Su Jing performed before, Zhu Yuanzhang always found several directions to fight against.
Even though Empress Ma knew that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was being tough, it was still interesting that the tough-talking person suddenly stopped being tough.
"Sister, what you said is that I am the emperor, so of course I must be fair. Su Jing has done a good job, what's the matter with a few compliments?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was stern, as if that was really what happened.
Empress Ma covered her mouth and smiled, not bothering about this matter, and said casually:
"Chongpachi, did you know that the main hall has been very lively recently?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately said: "It must be that Kaos. He asked to go to the main hall to study. I'm sure. Those brats must be asking questions around Kaos."
Even if I am very interested in the affairs of Da Qin, how can my sons who are still young be spared?
Queen Ma nodded and said: "Yes, now the royal children pester Kaos after class, but Kaos is very serious in studying. I have asked several teachers, and they all have good evaluations of Kaos. .”
"It seems like he plans to stay in Ming Dynasty for a long time."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said: "Sister, you don't know something about this. The Qin Dynasty where Kaos is located is at war with the enemy country at the moment. Isn't it normal for him to want to stay in the Ming Dynasty?"
"I see, I'm overthinking it."
Queen Ma relaxed a little after hearing this answer.
Even though Queen Ma and Lao Zhu both looked at Kaos, a foreigner, with a smile on his face, they still had some inner vigilance.
Even because he went to the main hall to study, the number of guards in the main hall also increased a lot.
"It's also a good thing to let them hear more about the outside world. Maybe in the future, my Ming cavalry will have to set foot on the territory of Qin."
Lao Zhu said with great confidence.
Although the Ming Dynasty still had many foreign troubles and needed to use foreign troops almost every year, this did not hinder Zhu Yuanzhang's ambitions.
"Okay, these are not things that a woman like me should get involved in, but there is something I would like to ask Chongpachi for your opinion on."
Queen Ma changed the subject and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lao Zhu frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Sister, why are you half-talking, what is going on?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Chongba, what did you just eat?"
"Mooncake, what's wrong? It's quite delicious."
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up another mooncake and drank it in one bite.
The mooncakes made in the imperial dining room are treasures among treasures.
It has a delicate taste and pleasant aroma.
Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't react like this, Queen Ma pointed it out directly:
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon. What are you going to do with Biao'er and Tie'er? We spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together in previous years."
The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a festival of reunion in this land of China.
Although Lao Zhu only has three days of "paid leave" for officials, including the Spring Festival, Winter Solstice, and the Emperor's birthday.
But when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when officials reunite with their families, Lao Zhu won't be too harsh.
However, he didn't pay attention to it and somewhat forgot about it.
After hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Rui are still at Su Jing's place, which is a problem.
"Just let them come back. How we lived before will be how we live now."
Zhu Yuanzhang said naturally.
This is the case for the royal family. Even festivals have rules and regulations.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, with a hint of anger in her brows: "Chongba, you are really a fool! Mr. Su's parents are both dead and he is not married. It is not easy for him to accept two students. Mid-Autumn Festival Do you just want to pick them up?"
Queen Ma's words also made Zhu Yuanzhang aware of her focus.
Su Jing!
That's right, Su Jing's parents had died in successive wars, and she had no brothers or sisters in the family, and she was not married now.
For other people, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion, but for Su Jing, it can only be celebrated alone.
"What do you mean, girl?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Queen Ma. He knew that at this time, Queen Ma would probably have an idea.
Empress Ma let out a breath and said, "That's right, I think so. Anyway, the princes have admired Mr. Su for a long time, and Mr. Su happens to be alone."
"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, how about our whole family going to Mr. Su's place to spend it together?"
Went to Su Jing's place to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Empress Ma's suggestion did not surprise Zhu Yuanzhang.
If this matter really comes to pass, Su Jing's reputation in the court will probably become even greater.
The emperor went to common people's homes to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, or with his wife and children.
This is definitely a great honor.
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and did not answer immediately, even though it was Empress Ma's suggestion.
Just because he is the emperor, the place he wants to go is Su Jing's home.
These are no ordinary two people.
By then, Su Jing will inevitably become the one that attracts attention.
This is a strong political signal.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still considering the possible consequences of this incident.
"Chongba, I have always believed in Mr. Su's character. If we treat him with sincerity, Mr. Su can also treat us with sincerity."
Queen Ma said from the side.
Of course she knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about, and she also knew that the reason for trusting character was actually very weak.
What is character?
What is it to believe?
For a country, this is nothing.
But Queen Ma still said so.
At this moment, Queen Ma was just acting as an ordinary person and thinking about Su Jing.
As for whether he agrees or not, and what the pros and cons are, that is something that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, should consider.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head and said, "Okay, then our family will go to Su Jing's place to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Then I'll go prepare now. I'm afraid Mr. Su won't be here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I can't trouble him too much."
Queen Ma nodded with a bit of joy on her face and said, "By the way, remember to tell Biao'er and ask him to notify Mr. Su in advance."
After saying that, Queen Ma turned around and left.
Seeing Queen Ma's happy look, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little better.
Went to Su Jing's place to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's really a pretty good proposal.
It just so happens that those sons who are clamoring to see Su Jing can also realize their dreams.
He quickly dealt with the government affairs memorial in his hand, and wrote a letter to Zhu Biao telling him about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lao Zhu also got up and left Fengxian Hall.
Of course, he did not go to rest, but went straight to the main hall.
At this time, the situation in the main hall was still similar to before.
Kaos was surrounded by a group of princes, but what was different was that Kaos was the one who asked the question.
"Princes, listen up, my question is this. A dying husband makes a will for his pregnant wife. If the child is a son, then one of the three inheritances will go to the wife, and the other three will go to the wife. Two out of three will go to the son. If the child is a daughter, then two out of three will go to the wife, and one out of three will go to the daughter. Finally, the wife gave birth to twins, and the existing inheritance is 3,500 copper coins. How should the money be distributed? More reasonable?"
Kaos slowly said his question to the princes in front of him.
I have to say that Kaos is quite capable.
After only attending school with the princes for a few days, they already became close to each other.
Not only that, he also found that the teachings of the princes of the Ming Dynasty mainly focused on Confucian education.
In mathematics, very little is taught.
So he would tell some interesting Roman mathematics problems and share them with the princes.
Because it was not boring reading, the princes' mood was quite high.
What he is talking about now is a question about Roman heritage.
The questions are not complicated, because too complex questions are too difficult to understand for the princes' mathematics education level.
But such a simple question made all the princes frown.
"If the son and the daughter each get one and two of the three shares, then the mother should not be able to get any money."
The second prince Zhu Xi just thought for a moment and said.
Without waiting for Kaos to answer, the sixth prince Zhu Zhen said: "Second brother, how can you not share it with your mother? Didn't you say you will share it?"
The third prince Zhu Fan also said: "Second brother, if you go by your statement, then this mother should take away all the money. It is definitely wrong."
Hearing what his two younger brothers said, Zhu Ping's face turned a little ugly.
But he's really not very good at this.
The fourth child, Zhu Di, was the calmest. His mind was still on marching and fighting.
He had never thought about this question at all.
It was the Roman fighting methods that Kaos talked about that attracted him very much.
Especially the Trojan horse trick, this kind of trick fascinated him.
Several princes started arguing, and of course the main ones were the second and third sons.
Because now the boss Zhu Biao is not here, and neither is the fifth boss Zhu Chong.
The sixth child, Zhu Zhen, and the seventh child, Zhu Shu, are both only six years old. This kind of question can only be said to be fun to listen to, but the real solution cannot be solved.
As for the fourth child, Zhu Di, he is not under consideration for the time being.
"Third brother, please tell me how best to distribute this property?"
Zhu Xi said a little unconvinced.
Zhu Fan smiled, looked at Kaos and said, "Kaos, I have a distribution plan. You can listen to it and see if it's right."
Kaos immediately nodded and said: "Third Prince, please speak."
After spending so many days with these princes, Kaos recognized the third prince's intelligence the most.
Zhu Fan replied: "The daughter will be divided into 500 strings, the mother will be divided into 1,000 strings, and the son will be divided into 3,000 strings."
"Compared with a daughter, a mother is like two out of three, but compared with a son, it is like one out of three."
After Kaos heard this, he immediately said to Zhu Fan: "The third prince is so smart that Kaos feels inferior to him. It's really admirable."
Zhu Xi was a little dissatisfied, but after listening to Zhu Fan's answer, he really couldn't refute anything.
The sixth and seventh children looked at the third child, Zhu Fan, with admiration.
"This question is exquisite, Kaos, you are the best."
Zhu Fan was not complacent, but said this to Kaos.
Kaos shook his head and said: "The third prince is ridiculous. This question is just what I heard, not mine. However, I have another question. The third prince may try to solve it."
"Oh, tell me."
Zhu Fan became interested.
He was very happy to have this opportunity to show off his wisdom in front of his brothers.
When Kaos was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty voice came:
"If you have any interesting questions, let me listen to them."
