The carriage headed out of the city.
Zhu Yunzhen looked at the burly man in the car.
"You said you are Ma Sanbao, and it was my fourth uncle King Yan who asked you to pick me up?"
He carefully looked at Ma He, who was later known as the Sanbao eunuch, and who had made seven voyages to the West.
I don't quite believe it.
The other party was obviously a eunuch, but he didn't have the feminine aura of an ordinary eunuch. Instead, he had more aura than an average man.
"Ma He, you have heard your name a long time ago. It's like thunder." Zhu Yunxuan was very interested.
He has always wanted to let the Ming Dynasty lift the sea ban and start the age of navigation first. This requires the right people to do it.
And Ma He is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Ma He was stunned for a moment, then showed a bit of shyness and said: "I didn't expect His Highness the Fourth Emperor to have heard of my nickname."
nonsense.
You are so famous in later generations, how could I not have heard of you?
"I just listened to Qian's speech in Jixian Tower, which was very insightful." Zhu Yunxuan complimented.
After all, he is a person who is famous throughout the ages, and his vision and insight are extraordinary and unparalleled.
He hasn't figured out how to win over Ma He yet, so he can only talk to each other.
"The Fourth Emperor's grandson is overly praised. The younger ones are just random thoughts. They are not as talented and far-sighted as His Highness the Fourth Emperor's grandson."
"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so reserved." Zhu Yunzhen said with a smile.
At this time, the little girl next to me spoke up: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful and be able to write such poems on the spot."
"Although I don't know much about poetry, your poems are catchy and comfortable to listen to. I think they are excellent."
She had been staring at Zhu Yunzhen since she got on the carriage.
Zhu Yunzhen ignored her.
This little girl has a very vicious mind. If today's question hadn't happened to be "Three Kingdoms", he would have been unable to step down.
Zhu Yunzhen turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Hey, you're a man, don't be so stingy, right?"
The little girl muttered: "I just heard others say that you have unparalleled talents and can lead hundreds of years of coquettishness. I didn't believe it, so I inspired you to write poetry to see what you are capable of."
She giggled and said, "You are much more powerful than the rumors say."
Zhu Yunxuan snorted coldly.
Ma He said with a smile: "This is the queen of Zhongshan, the little lady of the Xu family, named Miaojin. She admires His Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun very much and must clamor to see you."
"Ahem..." Zhu Yunzhen held his breath and coughed twice.
Is this naughty chatty girl in front of me the famous Xu Miaojin in later generations?
That Xu Miaojin who refused to be a queen and preferred to become a nun?
This is really not noticeable at all.
Zhu Yunxuan still remembered the "hatred" just now and wanted to take revenge, saying: "I heard that your sister is a famous female student. I think you are not bad at all. Why don't I give you a question to test you?"
Xu Miaojin shook her head repeatedly.
"I admire those who are good at reading, but my sister and I are different. I don't like reading. I like practicing martial arts."
Ma He smiled and said, "To be honest, she is practicing martial arts under my sect."
Zhu Yunzhen's interest greatly increased and he quickly asked: "Sanbao, do you still have martial arts skills?"
Ma He nodded and said: "When I was a child, I was taught by a stranger and learned martial arts. Although I am a eunuch, I am full of energy because of practicing this martial art."
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly realized.
Ma Heneng led his army to the Western Ocean seven times. Thinking about his martial arts skills, he suddenly felt itchy again.
When he was about to speak, he saw Xu Miaojin still staring at him, and couldn't help but said: "Why are you always staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Xu Miaojin said: "I think you are quite good-looking."
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes.
He always felt that this little girl's brain circuit was different from that of ordinary people.
"You are so good-looking and can write poetry, so you are very suitable to be my husband."
"puff!"
Zhu Yunzhen spit out a mouthful and coughed violently.
Little girl, are you too fierce?
Did I say I wanted to be your wife?
Although you are good-looking, your fierce temper cannot be easily controlled.
If anyone marries you, he will most likely have a "bad husband" in the future.
Not to mention, you are several years older than me.
Moreover, an eleven or twelve-year-old kid is thinking about finding a husband. How precocious is this?
"You don't have to be happy. You are too young, your body is very thin, and you are not strong enough. These are all shortcomings. I have to consider it carefully." Xu Miaojin said seriously.
"Didn't your father tell you that girls should be reserved?" Zhu Yunzhen said angrily: "Why are you so thick-skinned?"
"My father passed away a long time ago." Xu Miaojin said, his eye circles suddenly turned red.
Zhu Yunzhen was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Fortunately, Xu Miaojin's mood faded quickly, and then he said: "I helped you become famous today."
"Fang Xiaoru has a high reputation among scholars. His recognition of you will definitely cause a sensation."
"From today on, your reputation as a genius is truly confirmed."
"Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"
Thank u?
Thank you for keeping me from stepping down?
Zhu Yunzhen vomited in his heart.
He said angrily: "I am the grandson of the emperor, and I am not asking for fame. I am a scholar who is good at becoming an official. What is the use of such a reputation?"
Xu Miaojin tilted her little head, thought for a while, and said, "That seems to be the case."
But she quickly continued: "Even if you don't care, your grandpa Huang also cares."
"Old Zhu's family has been full of mud-legged people for generations, and there has never been a scholar in his ancestors. He has always been worried about it. Now that he knows that you have such a poetic talent, he doesn't know how happy he will be."
"You can use this as an excuse to ask for a reward from him."
She didn't have much special respect for the royal family in her words, and she spoke very casually.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't want to get entangled with her on this topic, so he looked at what she was carrying on her back and said, "What are you carrying?"
"This is a sword!" Xu Miaojin put the long box on his back on his lap and opened it.
There was a sword three feet long and three inches wide inside.
The sword is still unsheathed, and it is engraved with flowers, plants and animals, which is lifelike.
Zhu Yunzhen tried to reach out and pick it up, but he felt it was extremely heavy and could not pick it up.
Xu Miaojin giggled and said, "I'm just saying that you are so small and in poor health. You can't even pick up a sword."
She reached out and picked up the long sword in its scabbard, turning it around in her hand. The heavy sword blade seemed as light as nothing in her hand.
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but swallowed secretly.
Although he is only seven years old now, from the test just now, he can estimate that this sword probably weighs dozens of kilograms.
But in Xu Miaojin's hands, it seemed to be weightless.
She is still an eleven or twelve-year-old child, a girl, so how strong should she be?
This is not simply lifting it up, but playing it casually in your hands, which requires much more strength.
"How's it going? I'm great, right?"
Xu Miaojin danced for a few times, then stopped and looked at him with an arrogant look.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't want to praise her.
"It's not bad, just as good as the jugglers on the street."
"You can consider performing acrobatics on the street. If others know that you are the King of Zhongshan, they will definitely come to support you."
Xu Miaojin frowned angrily and said: "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. No wonder my sister always says that scholars are the most mean and mean. Sure enough, they are not good things."
"I originally wanted to teach you how to practice swordsmanship so that you can be both civil and martial arts masters. But now it seems that I am just being overly sentimental."
Zhu Yunxuan's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around and said, "I just made you angry on purpose. Your swordsmanship is much better than those jugglers."
"How can they compare with you? Please teach me swordsmanship."
