The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
With such good weather, there are a lot of people walking on the streets of Lishui County.
Zhu Biao has returned here again, and his mood is much more relaxed.
In the palace, as the prince, he must pay attention to his words and deeds at all times, and Lao Zhu will let him make decisions on many things.
But here, he is just a student. If he has any questions, he can just ask Su Jing directly.
Asking Master Su when in doubt has become Zhu Biao's usual routine.
What Zhu Biao didn't know was that not long after he left the palace, the news that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's family spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at Su Jing's place had spread among the ministers of Yingtian Mansion.
The emperor's family did not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, but went to a commoner's home.
This is very meaningful.
The reactions of the officials were naturally mixed.
Of course, for those who have known about it for a long time, hearing this news is just a bit sad.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
Xu Da has just returned from training his troops. Because the Northern Expedition next year is already a certainty, Xu Da is training very diligently.
I usually only go home every ten days and a half.
"father."
Xu Miaoyun saw Xu Da coming back and immediately went to greet him.
Xu Da was wearing armor and said with a smile: "Miaoyun, everything is fine at home during my absence."
"Don't worry, Dad, my daughter is here and everything is fine."
Xu Miaoyun said confidently.
She is really different from ordinary women. Xu Da attaches great importance to the education of this daughter.
His personality also follows that of Xu Da, he is resolute, brave and thoughtful.
Xu Da nodded and said: "That's good, I'll take off my armor first."
Wearing a suit of armor is still very tiring, but in order to better command and train troops, Xu Da basically wears it every day.
As a general, you should lead by example.
"Okay, Dad, my daughter asked the kitchen to make steamed goose for you."
Xu Miaoyun immediately ran to the kitchen.
Everyone who knows Xu Da likes to eat goose knows that.
Soon, Xu Da started to feast on the steamed goose at the dinner table.
"Dad, have you heard about His Majesty leaving the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Da while picking up food for Xu Da.
Xu Da gnawed on the goose leg, his movements stagnated for a moment, then continued eating, and casually said: "Huh? Is there still such a thing? I haven't heard of it."
Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes at her father and said, "Dad, do you think your daughter is so easy to deceive?"
"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you and Uncle Chang went to the palace together, and then came back with the mooncakes rewarded by His Majesty."
"You must know! You are still pretending in front of your daughter, your acting is too fake!"
Xu Miaoyun exposed Xu Da's lies in a few words.
This made Xu Da a little embarrassed. He didn't want Xu Miaoyun to know about it.
Even though Su Jing is now highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da does not want the relationship between the Xu family and Su Jing to be too deep.
Now his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang is enough, and too much is not enough.
Unfortunately, Xu Miaoyun is not that easy to fool.
"Well, it's not that dad doesn't want to tell me, it's that His Majesty doesn't want to tell me."
Xu Da replied.
What he said was true, but it was not so comfortable in Xu Miaoyun's ears.
"snort!"
Xu Miaoyun snorted coldly: "Dad, are you still afraid that your daughter will leak the secret?"
Although it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Xu Miaoyun was Xu Da's daughter.
Xu Da immediately explained: "Isn't this military training? I'm busy."
Xu Da is really doting on this daughter.
"Then you can eat the goose. My daughter is full and will go back to her room first."
Xu Miaoyun stood up and wanted to leave.
This is a sign of anger.
Xu Da immediately said: "Miaoyun, don't be angry. Isn't dad thinking that our Xu family should not be involved in this matter?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun sat down and said, "Dad, why? Mr. Su is a talented scholar and is now trusted by His Majesty. Why do you keep him at such a distance?"
Xu Da sighed and said: "Daughter, I admit that Mr. Su is a scholar, but your father and I are already the Duke of Wei. The Xu family can be said to be a very human minister."
"Only by knowing how to advance and retreat can we protect the Xu family's long-term future. Miaoyun, remember that it is important to keep a low profile no matter what time it is."
What Xu Da said was very true, and he really hoped that his daughter Xu Miaoyun could understand.
Of course, what he didn't say was that the more Su Jing was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the greater the possibility of being suspected in the future.
Liu Bowen, the sincere uncle, is the best example.
He, Xu Da, had followed Zhu Yuanzhang since the beginning of the Zhan Rebellion. He was still a military general. He, a general, was required to send troops every year, so this was better.
"Dad, my daughter understands."
Xu Miaoyun nodded, the anger on his face long gone.
She now understands Xu Da's good intentions.
All other thoughts that were originally on his mind were now hidden.
. . . . .
The Duke's Mansion of the State of E.
Lan also asked her husband Chang Yuchun: "Chang Yuchun, did you know about this before?"
Chang Yuchun didn't hide it as much as Xu Da did. He just nodded and said, "Madam, your Majesty didn't let me tell you. It's not that I don't want to tell you!"
"I originally asked His Majesty to take me there, but His Majesty did not agree to my request."
Go straight, this is Chang Yuchun's style.
Lan said: "Mr. Su has been very kind to you, don't you know how to ask Your Majesty to send you some gifts of thanks?"
this.
Chang Yuchun is a rough man, he really didn't expect this.
It's true that I can't go by myself, but wouldn't it be the same to bring some gifts when I know Zhu Yuanzhang is going back?
"snort."
Lan snorted coldly and said: "You have such a stupid head, you can do nothing but fight."
"Mom, please stop talking about dad like that."
Chang Wan appeared at this moment and said to her mother, Lan: "Dad obeyed His Majesty's instructions. This is what should be done. Dad did nothing wrong."
"Madam, look at what my daughter said. I am just following His Majesty's orders."
Chang Yuchun immediately smiled and said that with the help of the future princess daughter, he was still very confident.
Lan glanced at her daughter and said, "Wan'er, the prince will be an adult next year. Do you have any ideas about your engagement?"
Lan had always been thinking about her daughter's engagement with the prince.
Chang Wan's face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "On matters of marriage, it's up to the father and mother to make the decision. There's no need to ask the daughter."
Upon hearing this, Chang Yuchun immediately said: "What's wrong, Wan'er, don't you think the prince is bad?"
Chang Yuchun was still very satisfied with Zhu Biao, not just because Zhu Biao was the prince.
In addition to his status as the prince, Zhu Biao's performance is also impeccable.
But he still loves his daughter very much. If his daughter Chang Wan doesn't like Zhu Biao, it will be difficult for him.
Lan rolled her eyes at Chang Yuchun and said, "Chang Yuchun, I see you have lost your head in training. Wan'er is clearly very satisfied with the prince. She can't even tell what her daughter is thinking with her eyes!" "
"ah?"
Chang Yuchun was stunned and looked at his daughter again.
He's so big and thick, I really can't tell.
Lan added: "Mr. Su is the prince's teacher. If Wan'er and the prince are getting married, it would be best if Mr. Su can come."
Chang Yuchun immediately said: "Madam, don't worry, His Majesty has promised me this. When the prince and Wan'er get married, I can express my gratitude to Mr. Su in person. Mr. Su will definitely be able to come."
"It's best, you did something."
Lan nodded.
This family only took it for granted that Zhu Yuanzhang went to Su Jing's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, this is not the case with other ministers.
As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Su Jing's home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is a great honor.
Many people have even begun to inquire as to where Su Jing's home is.
Of course, Lao Zhu is still very steady in his work.
The news in Lishui County was tightly sealed, but some things about Su Jing's home were revealed.
Su Jing made many mooncakes and gave them to the guards and servants who guarded Zhu Yuanzhang that day.
This mooncake is said to have been made by Su Jing and Prince Zhu Biao together.
For a time, the price of Su Jing's mooncakes went up.
Fresh meat mooncakes have become even more popular in Yingtian Mansion.
However, the most eye-catching thing is Su Jing herself.
Such a prince's master has never appeared in the court.
What did Zhu Yuanzhang want to do?
But it is undeniable that all ministers agree that Su Jing will appear in the court in the near future.
By then, the layout of the court may have undergone some changes.
The minds of the ministers were surging, and everyone had their own ideas.
Can Su Jing become a thigh? Is it worth hugging?
What kind of person is Su Jing?
Many questions linger in the minds of the ministers, and their hearts are either expectations, dissatisfaction, or resistance.
However, none of these can change reality.
In Chengyi's house, Liu Bowen was watering the flowers at home, and his servants were telling him about Zhu Yuanzhang going to Su Jing's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Liu Bowen's expression changed slightly. He knew more than others.
Even his servants could inquire about this news, so it must have been released by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
"Mr. Su, it seems that His Majesty wants to reuse you!"
Liu Bowen sighed slightly, but there were not many congratulations and congratulations in his words.
Being reused by Lao Zhu was not a good thing in Liu Bowen's heart.
Especially people like Su Jing who have extraordinary talents.
If she ends up like this, Su Jing is afraid that it will be even worse.
But Liu Bowen is helpless, he can't do anything now.
Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.
Hu Weiyong was visiting Li Shanchang, and the two were talking about the news.
"Wei Yong, Su Jing should be entering the court soon. You should be careful then."
Li Shanchang told Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong immediately said respectfully: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Weiyong will keep his integrity. Mr. Su is a man of great talent, and he deserves to be reused by His Majesty."
I have to say that Hu Weiyong was still very well-behaved and obedient at this time.
Although his inner ambition is not small, he has never made any oversteps.
In the Ming Dynasty, the principle of keeping a low profile and never making enemies or leaving any excuses was upheld.
It can be said that the current Hu Weiyong shows no sign of the willful arrogance and arrogance of the future dictatorship.
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong, nodded and said: "Weiyong, I am assured of your ability, but what I want to tell you is that you don't have to worry about some things, wait slowly, and what is yours will eventually be yours."
Li Shanchang, who had supported Hu Weiyong all the way, was well aware of Hu Weiyong's desire for the position of prime minister.
Hu Weiyong lowered his head and said: "Prime Minister, you are worrying too much, but Yong is self-aware."
Su Jing has strong momentum now, and Lao Zhu stands strong.
Hu Weiyong is not stupid. At times like this, he knows how to keep a low profile.
"Okay, since you understand, there's nothing more to say. You can go back. If there is nothing important, don't come to my place again recently."
Li Shanchang said calmly.
"Yes, Weiyong understands."
Hu Weiyong immediately turned around and left.
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong's retreating back and thought of Su Jing again, feeling that the Ming Dynasty's court was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Su Jing."
Li Shanchang muttered something, shook his head slightly, and stopped thinking about anything else.
"Master Su, the student is back."
Zhu Biao came to the small courtyard again and said excitedly.
"Brother!"
Hearing Zhu Biao's voice, Zhu Xi ran out of the house quickly.
Su Jing also appeared and smiled at Zhu Biao: "Have you settled all the family matters?"
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Yes, Master Su."
"Just take care of it, it's no big deal."
Su Jing asked again.
"No."
Zhu Biaogang answered no, but after thinking for a while he said: "Nothing big, but there are a few small things that I want to teach Master Su."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Su Jing became interested.
Zhu Biao's doubts are generally quite interesting.
Zhu Biao took out a piece of paper directly from his arms and handed it to Su Jing:
"This is a question asked by a Roman named Chaos. He also asked Diophantus' question last time. Master Su, can you solve it?"
Su Jing took it, which was quite unexpected.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao immediately gave him a math problem when he came.
After opening it and taking a look, Su Jing saw that the questions were becoming more and more complicated. After thinking for a while, Su Jing smiled and said:
"This is a Mathematical Olympiad question. These Romans are really interesting."
Mathematical Olympiad question?
Zhu Biao heard some doubts and asked: "Master Su, what is the Mathematical Olympiad question?"
Su Jing smiled and said: "It's a question that tests the logic of thinking. It looks confusing at first glance, but once you understand the core, it's not difficult to solve."
Not difficult!
It was not difficult for Zhu Biao to hear this sentence, and he immediately said: "Master Su, do you mean that you have solved it?"
"That's right, but it still takes a little calculation to get a specific result."
Su Jing nodded.
Just kidding, this compulsory elementary school-level Math Olympiad is not difficult for Su Jing.
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded. He had also read this question, but for a moment he really had no clue.
Kaos was even more confident, and Zhu Biao thought it would take at least some time for Su Jing to solve it.
Unexpectedly, I already knew how to solve it just by looking at it.
Even though Zhu Biao knew that Su Jing was awesome, he didn't expect him to be so awesome.
Su Jing directly handed the question in her hand to Zhu Xi and said: "It's just right. This question can be used as an expansion exercise for you. Take a good look at it, Niu Su."
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Xi took it immediately and studied it carefully.
Su Jing said to Zhu Biao again: "Okay, you just came back, rest first, I will ask you to have dinner later."
Zhu Biao was still a little confused.
Is this question really that simple?
So you let your brother do it?
