Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

"I told you that if you save money for another two years, you can build a big house like Shiro's house."

"His eighth aunt and the fourth child in my family also said the same thing. She said that when the local village community is built, we will see how the situation gets better. If it gets better, we will use the money we have saved now to build a house."

"No, speaking of it, following Shiro this year, each of our families will build such a big house. If we work hard, we can still do it, but we are afraid that we will not have such good days in the future, so we dare not spend money lavishly."

…

Three poles in the sun.

As the New Year is approaching, there is rarely anything going on in the village. A group of eight aunts gathered together and looked at the big house of Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

While chatting happily, they talked about their plans for the next few years.

Huh!

At a certain moment, the fourth aunt suddenly let out a sigh and pointed in the direction of the village entrance, "There is a carriage."

The aunts stood up one after another and looked in the direction of the fourth aunt's finger...

A carriage slowly drove into the village.

Inside the carriage.

As soon as Ma Xiuying entered the village, she couldn't wait to lift the curtains and looked outside, looking for the six large houses described in the secret memorial.

It is said to be easy to find.

Chongba laughed and scolded: The big house of the fourth family in Tuqiao Village is the shit of a dung beetle, and it is the only one.

Ma Xiuying thought of Zhu Yuanzhang last night, and envied her for coming to Tuqiao Village, but couldn't help but follow her, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

I couldn't help but laugh and curse in a low voice: "You deserve it!"

"Mother, I found it!" At this time, the little maid who was climbing on the other side of the car window to look for her screamed excitedly.

"Let me take a look." Ma Xiuying hurriedly turned around, while not forgetting to explain, "Next, don't call me empress, remember."

The little maid smiled and stuck out her tongue, opened the window and pointed to the side, "Mother, that's the red house."

Ma Xiuying followed the direction of the maid's finger and saw six large houses.

The signs of brand newness are very obvious.

The red walls and gray roof are very unique.

Although there are no exquisite decorations such as carvings, it looks very grand.

‘The fourth child is also capable and can support a family by working hard with his own hands. ’

Ma Xiuying's face was filled with relief and pride as a mother.

There are so many children at home.

Under the strict requirements of Chongba, they have all achieved academic success. Not to mention that everyone is a talent, at least everyone has an average appearance.

After all, there are so many resources accumulated.

Maybe someone like Lao Si, who separated from the family and worked hard with his own hands for a year, not only persevered, but also managed the lives of ordinary people.

You can still build such a big house!

I'm afraid, the other children in the family can't do it.

"Madam, we're here." The carriage stopped in front of the big house. The young eunuch in charge of driving the carriage asked for instructions in a low voice, and then quickly put the small stool on the shaft of the carriage beside it.

As Ma Xiuying got off the carriage, she ordered: "Go to Jiangning County and wait. Pick me up at noon tomorrow."

The little eunuch responded and drove the carriage away.

Ma Xiuying stood in front of Zhu Di's big house and looked at it carefully.

Aunt Eight and others stood not far away, watching and discussing.

"If you can afford a carriage, you look like a wealthy family."

"I feel a little familiar..."

"I remembered! This lady came here during spring plowing, and took a group of children to Shiro's house to ask for water!"

"Are you here to thank Da Ya?"

…

Ma Xiuying listened to the discussion, smiled, turned around and walked over.

The little maid, carrying a big bundle, followed closely behind.

The eighth aunt was pushed out by the crowd. Seeing Ma Xiuying approaching, the eighth aunt asked cautiously: "Madam, are you looking for Daya and Shiro?"

Ma Xiuying smiled warmly and explained, "Are you the eighth aunt?"

The appearance of several more independent-minded women in the village were mentioned in the secret memorial. Based on their characteristics, she could guess the identity of the woman in front of her.

Aunt Eighth looked at her in surprise and said with a smile: "Daya told me about it last time I came here."

"I am Da Ya's mother. Thank you for helping Da Ya and Shiro live a good life."

Under the leadership of Lao Si, the folks in Tuqiao Village made money and did many things.

On the contrary, without the support of the folks in Tuqiao Village.

Even the fourth child couldn't do these things.

Her gratitude to the folks is sincere.

Da Ya’s mother? !

The eighth aunt was the first to recover from the shock, and then she greeted her heartily and warmly: "No wonder! It turns out it's Da Ya's mother, Da Ya's mother, Daya and Shiro are teaching the children in the ancestral hall. If you don't mind, Go to my house first."

"I'll have someone go notify Daya and Shiro."

Ma Xiuying looked at Aunt Eight's enthusiastically extended hand, but was obviously wary of her identity, so she paused and retracted it.

So he took the initiative to hold the eighth aunt's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't disturb them, let the young couple teach their children first, and I will chat with you here, okay?"

Ma Xiuying took the initiative to hold the eighth aunt's hand, which made a group of aunts put down their restraints and greet her warmly.

"Of course."

"As long as you don't dislike us, of course we will be happy."

"From Erzi's house, go to my house quickly and bring the teapot..."

…

After a while.

Ma Xiuying looked at the old teapot, dried apricots, home-made malt sugar made from germinated wheat...

I can't help but sigh.

These things are not valuable to her.

But this is what the people of Tuqiao Village prepare all year round and only during the Chinese New Year.

Now they took out these things that were particularly valuable to them and entertained her.

Not at her.

But directed at Shiro and Daya.

Just because she is Daya's 'mother', that's why these folks are so enthusiastic!

This is the heart Shiro and Daya bought for her.

The fourth aunt smiled sheepishly and said: "Big girl, don't dislike it, our conditions here are a bit simple."

"If you don't dislike it, how could you dislike it?" Ma Xiuying's eyes and nose were a little sore. She responded with a smile. At the same time, she picked up a few pieces of dried apricots and gave them to the maid behind her. Then she picked up a few more pieces to taste.

Precious things like caramel should be left to the children of each family.

The people grow wheat.

But all year round.

I am only willing to make some malt and make candy for the children during the Chinese New Year.

The aunts laughed happily when they saw Ma Xiuying eating.

Soon, Ma Xiuying became involved with a group of aunts.

New 𝘹.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The eighth aunt complained: "Da Ya Niang, Da Ya dad is too unkind."

"No!"

"Don't look at Shiro's current situation, but we can see clearly that Shiro is very capable. Dad will definitely regret it in the future if he treats such a wealthy son-in-law like a rag!"

…

After the aunts let go, the chat quickly developed into a denouncement meeting against 'Big Ya Daddy'.

(Xu Da:...)

(Little cotton-padded jacket: Grandpa, don’t be sad. Grandpa is not alone. There is a little cotton-padded jacket to accompany you.)

The little maid squatted beside her, lowered her head like a hamster, and kept stuffing dried apricots into her mouth. In this way, she controlled her strong smile, and at the same time she secretly laughed and said, "The Duke of Wei is wronged. I don't know, the emperor knows this." , what will be the reaction? ’

Ma Xiuying kept laughing and echoing, and finally joined the criticism, criticizing 'Big Daddy' with sharp words.

Under the big tree opposite the big house, it became very lively for a while.

The children who were running home for dinner after school were frightened when they heard the criticism and fighting in the distance, and the laughter and slapstick disappeared instantly.

They looked at each other, made faces, and then quietly went home.

Then he becomes a good boy in seconds.

Feeding chickens, cleaning, boiling water...

The instinctive subconscious drives a group of children to express themselves one after another.

I'm afraid that my mother who comes home with emotions will make me angry...

Aunt Eight and others were chatting animatedly but did not notice the children.

When Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di returned home holding hands and approached the door, they saw this scene...

Ma Xiuying's eyes were red and she wiped her tears with her sleeves. She criticized and accused him unceremoniously, "Da Ya's dad is a stubborn old man! He is overbearing! I'm doing my own thing!"

"At home, he said it must be settled. Even if he is wrong, he will be stubborn and refuse to admit it..."

Xu Miaoyun recovered from the shock, turned her head, looked at Zhu Di, and smiled softly, "Silang, my father is so pitiful. If he could have expected that he would take so much blame today, I'm afraid he would have stopped him no matter what he said. Get me married."

(Xu Da: Breath-leak cotton-padded jacket, stop being so hypocritical!!!)

(Little cotton-padded jacket: Grandpa, don’t cry, little cotton-padded jacket will accompany you through thick and thin.)

Zhu Di tilted his head with a smile, "Want to regret it now? It's too late! The debt you owe during this period is enough for you to repay it for a lifetime."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and glared.

The two of them took a deep breath in unison and prepared themselves.

Then he smiled and shouted, "Mom!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying's accusations and criticisms came to an abrupt end.

Turning around, I saw my son and daughter-in-law standing not far away with smiles on their faces, embarrassment flashing across their faces.

He quickly put down the hand wiping his tears.

He smiled and said to his aunts, "Silang and Daya are back. It's getting late. Let's have lunch and continue chatting in the afternoon."

As he spoke, he stood up and tidied his clothes.

The maid lowered her head and suppressed a smile to help.

The aunts took their belongings and stood up to say goodbye. When they passed by Zhu Di, they whispered reminders.

"Silang, Da Ya Niang has a very good temper. She criticized Da Ya Dad severely with us and made you angry!"

"Da Ya, you and your mother are both good-tempered and good women."

"Honor your mother-in-law."

…

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun suppressed their laughter and kept nodding.

Wait until the aunts are gone.

Zhu Di came closer, looked at Ma Xiuying's red eyes, and asked with a smile: "Mom, were you happy with the criticism and accusation just now? Aren't you afraid that my father will know? Aren't you afraid that I, Taishan, will know?"

'Of course I'm happy. This is the first time in so many years that Mom has so happily told others about your father's bad habits. ’

Such an opportunity has never happened before. Ma Xiuying secretly laughed and ventriloquised, feeling very embarrassed.

After all, this was her first time doing such a thing.

It's so happy.

But he was caught red-handed by his son and daughter-in-law!

Ma Xiuying glared at Zhu Di with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun also pretended to be powerful, then glared at Zhu Di, took Ma Xiuying's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't listen to Si Lang's nonsense, my father will not know, and he will not mind if he knows. He knows that what the mother said is Father, as for father, he probably won’t pay attention to such trivial matters.”

Little Cotton Jacket: Grandpa, please accept Little Cotton Jacket’s infinite sympathy for you...

…

at the same time.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the several imperial dishes brought by the palace maid, wiped his hands, couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and said to himself: "We are not envious, this braised lion's head is our favorite!"

When advocating frugality on a daily basis, we must set an example.

He doesn't eat this braised lion's head every day.

"You go to eat in the countryside, and we'll eat our favorite braised lion's head! Xiuying, we don't envy you!"

As he said that, he picked up a braised lion's head and was about to put it in his mouth when he couldn't help but think: "At this time, school should be over. What delicious food will that bastard and Miaoyun give Xiuying?"

‘We haven’t eaten the food cooked by that bastard! ’

Thinking about this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the braised lion's head held between the chopsticks, and suddenly it was tasteless and no longer fragrant...

Putting back the braised lion head with a dark face.

Snapped!

He threw the chopsticks on the table and shouted out the door, "Here comes someone!"

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside heard Zhu Yuanzhang's bad tone and ran in in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered, "Go and call Mao Xiang!"

Soon, Mao Xiang came in a hurry, snooped quietly, and found that the whole plate of braised lion's head had not moved. He wondered and ventriloquised: 'What's going on? Braised lion's head is the emperor's favorite dish. ’

"Collect for us every word the queen said when she went to Tuqiao Village, every person she came into contact with..."

When the voice sounded, Mao Xiang quickly gathered his thoughts and listened carefully...

"We all need to know everything the queen does in Tuqiao Village. Do you understand what we mean?"

Mao Xiang didn't understand very well. He raised his head suspiciously and cautiously asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, I am a little stupid..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared with a dark face, "You have to be meticulous! For example, we all know what Zhu Silang and Xu Daya cooked for the queen!"

Mao Xiang looked at the braised lion's head on the table and suddenly understood. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I'll do it now!"

"Why are you bothering? If you had followed, you would have eaten the food cooked by His Highness himself, and you would have found out that the princess is pregnant. For the sake of face, you made a mistake in every step..."

After Mao Xiang received the order, he immediately went to do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was behind, scolding with a dark face: "Before dark, we need to know everything that happened during the day!"
