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

Chapter 15 Looking forward to tomorrow...

In the hall.

Ma Xiuying sat in the front seat, looking at the white and clean house.

He stretched out his finger and poked at the wall next to him, turned around and asked with a smile: "This looks like white mud, but as far as I know, people have the habit of painting walls with white mud water."

“But white mud itself is not sticky.”

"Before painting the wall, you need to use fine clay as a base, and then paint white mud on the clay layer."

After painting in this way, the underlying clay color still cannot be completely covered.

But the fourth child's house was pure white, with plenty of light coming in during the day, making the whole house look very bright.

After lighting up the lamp at night, it will probably be brighter than an ordinary house, right?

This can only be verified tonight.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and turned to look at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di replied with a smile, "I added some fish glue to the thick white mud..."

Ma Xiuying listened and watched the young couple's eyes interact, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Whether Lao Si and Miao Yun live happily or not can be seen from some inadvertent interactions between the two.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he stood up and asked, "Mom, what do you want to eat? I'll cook for you."

"You can do whatever you want. Mom will eat whatever you guys eat on weekdays. Do you need me to help?"

"No, you're talking to Miaoyun." Zhu Di smiled and walked to the kitchen.

Xu Miaoyun's face was slightly red, and she was embarrassed and said with a hint of showing off her husband: "During this period, Shiro is doing all the cooking and washing..."

"That's what he should do!" Ma Xiuying reached out across the small table to hold Xu Miaoyun's hand, smiling and comforting. Only mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and a little maid were left. Ma Xiuying looked at Xu Miaoyun's bulging belly and asked, "Are you okay with eating and sleeping?"

She has been a mother.

We know how heavy the burden is for a woman during this period.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded, "It's all good. Although the little cotton-padded jacket is noisy at night, it's not too noisy."

"Little cotton-padded jacket?" Ma Xiuying looked at it with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but blush and lowered her head, whispering: "Silang wants a little cotton-padded jacket..."

‘For this reason, I was asked to sign a commitment letter. ’

Giggle...

Ma Xiuying didn't hear Xu Miaoyun's ventriloquism and was already amused. She asked with a smile: "Are you tired? If not, take a good look at your new house."

Xu Miaoyun raised her head, her face flushed, and she shook her head with a smile, "I'm not tired."

…

After a while, I looked at several houses respectively.

Xu Miaoyun took Ma Xiuying to the back of the house, pointed at the wall, and said as they walked: "Mother, the wall behind has a mezzanine fire tunnel in the middle."

"At night, just light firewood in the few stove openings left on the back wall and seal them well. The firewood can burn all night and the whole house will not be cold and damp..."

…

Ma Xiuying looked in the direction of Xu Miaoyun's finger. Sure enough, there was a wood burning stove mouth corresponding to the back wall of each room.

The inner hall is large enough to store a lot of firewood.

The back wall of the house where Miaoyun and Shiro currently live has obvious burnt gray and black marks.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the kitchen window while chatting.

The window was open and the scent diffused from the window.

Shh!

Ma Xiuying smelled the fragrance, made a shushing gesture, and quietly approached with a smile...

Standing on the side, quietly looking in through the window...

Zhu Di was busy in front of the two pots skillfully, with his feet still hooked on the bellows, swinging easily, and blowing air into the stove.

Ma Xiuying looked at it, her eyes flashed with joy, and she couldn't help but blush slightly.

‘Zhu Chongba, you deserve not to be able to eat the food cooked by the fourth child, I’m not done with you! When I get back, I will use all kinds of gorgeous words to describe the food cooked by the fourth child in front of you, and I will crave it for you! ’

While the fourth child was cooking, the smile that appeared on his lips inadvertently showed that he was enjoying himself.

But she still couldn't help but feel distressed.

Fortunately, the fourth child is about to take the imperial examination...

Ma Xiuying took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart.

After turning around, she had returned to normal. She took Xu Miaoyun's hand and walked farther away. Then she smiled happily and said, "Looking at you like this, my mother can really feel relieved this time."

"During this time, the Queen Mother has made some clothes for you and the child. I will take you to see them."

…

When Ma Xiuying took Xu Miaoyun and the little maid to look at clothes in the bedroom.

Zhu Di also prepared a meal.

A dish of grilled fish and a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms. The aunts picked and dried the mushrooms in the mountains in summer and gave them to him and Miaoyun on the day of their move-in.

There is also a dish of cold radish, which relieves fatigue.

And a small pot of millet porridge, soup made with lotus seeds and lotus roots.

Zhu Di put the last staple food on the table, listened to the laughter coming from next door, looked at several dishes on the table, and shouted with a smile: "Mom, Daya, let's eat!"

puff!

Ma Xiuying was holding a small piece of clothing and making famous gestures. When she heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said with emotion: "I really want to stay here with you and never go back."

When the fourth child said, "Mom, Daya, it's time to eat," she felt the strong smell of fireworks and the warmth of a small home.

Here, there are not so many intrigues and worries of being in a high position.

She could have lived to be fifty, but if she lived with Shiro and his wife, she thought she could live to be a hundred!

Xu Miaoyun helped Ma Xiuying stand up and invited with a smile: "Whenever the queen has free time or gets tired of living in the palace, you can come."

"Okay, okay, then it's settled. Whenever your father makes me angry, I will come and join you, the young couple."

Ma Xiuying happily said yes again and again and joked: "When the time comes, you young couple don't be too dissatisfied with your mother."

"No." Xu Miaoyun smiled and shook her head...

Zhu Di saw the two people walking towards each other talking and laughing, and asked curiously: "Mom, what are you talking about? You are so happy."

"Mom, let's talk. If your father makes me angry again in the future..."

Zhu Di immediately became happy, gloating and encouraging: "I support you with both hands!"

The old man tormented him?

Hum!

Whether it is based on reality or history, there is no doubt that the old man cannot live without his mother!

The old man had a quarrel with his mother, so she came to stay with him for a while.

It’s interesting to think about it!

He couldn't wait for it to happen soon.

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head and pursed her lips to hold back a smile, and filled bowls with rice for everyone.

Ma Xiuying glared with a smile, and said with an annoyed smile: "No wonder you don't want a son. You father and son are so kind and filial. It's strange that you don't feel guilty!"

Zhu Di smiled sarcastically, pulled out the chair and let Ma Xiuying sit down.

Looking at the little maid standing aside, she greeted with a smile: "Mingxia, sit down and eat together."

The little maid was so flattered that she waved her hands, "Your Highness, how can I have a meal with your Majesty, Your Highness, and the Princess?"

"Mingxia, here at Laosi, we don't have that much status. Let's sit down and eat together." Ma Xiuying smiled and waved.

After the four of them sat down, Zhu Di gave Ma Xiuying a chicken leg and said, "Mom, try my craftsmanship."

Ma Xiuying tasted it carefully, her eyes lit up, she looked at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "I will definitely tell your father about your craftsmanship vividly when I get back to make him jealous!"

Ha ha……

After a meal, laughter and laughter.

The little maid Mingxia took the initiative to take over the job of washing dishes and cleaning up.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun accompanied Ma Xiuying to talk.

…

It’s time for the children to do their homework in the afternoon.

Zhu Di inquired: "Mom, do you want to go with us to see the children in the school?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and shook her head: "Mom will go tomorrow. The children will do their homework in the afternoon. I want to see you teach your children."

"Your father even asked my mother to take a good look at these children last night."

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

It was obvious that one of the children was attracted by his father.

Pay attention in advance.

They are also worried that if these children want to develop their careers, they will not even have a leaf to shade them.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she saw Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's expressions of unbelievable surprise.

She took this opportunity to convey a message: Chongba had relieved his suspicion of Lao Si.

As far as she knew, in Tuqiao Village, the child named Yang Dongxu was even on the candidate list of caregivers secretly established by Zhongba!

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun both understood Ma Xiuying's hint.

He smiled and said, "Mom, let's go teach the children."

"Go ahead."

Ma Xiuying smiled and sent the two of them out.

Looking at the backs of the young couple walking side by side, he couldn't help but smile happily, "It's great. If there is a chance in the future, after Miao Yun is born, I should live here more and stay away from Zhu Chongba. How can I How many years to live.”

The little maid stood behind her and lowered her head to hold back a smile, "The empress is really tempted, but the emperor will be in trouble." ’

…

In the afternoon, Ma Xiuying continued to chat with Aunt Eight and others, and visited the granary and the horses raised in Tuqiao Village...

As evening approached, I took my maid home early to prepare a dinner for Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun in person.

…

royal palace.

evening.

Mao Xiang was panting from exhaustion. Before the curfew, he received the news and rushed back to Jinling City from Jiangning.

Then, without delaying for a moment, he went straight to the palace.

When he came to the door of the royal study, he saw that the door was closed and asked the maid waiting outside in a low voice, "What is the emperor doing at the moment?"

"Your Majesty is having dinner."

Mao Xiang looked at the secret music in his hand and secretly muttered, "It's better to wait until the emperor has finished his meal before going in to report. Otherwise, the emperor will not even enjoy the dinner. He won't eat at noon, and he will have to do it in the evening." After eating, hey, in the end, I still have to show sympathy to the emperor. ’

"Who's mumbling outside?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappy questioning came out.

The palace maid turned pale with fright.

Mao Xiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and responded: "Your Majesty, this is my lord, Mao Xiang."

"Come in!"

Mao Xiang pushed the door open and entered, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang having a meal.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even raise his head, glanced at Mao Xiang, and ordered while eating, "Tell us, what happened to the Queen in Tuqiao Village?"

I was angry and didn't eat at noon.

He is so hungry!

Mao Xiang shrank his neck and opened the secret record, "The Queen went to Tuqiao Village in the morning and happened to meet the women of Tuqiao Village chatting with her. Chatting with these women, she burst into tears and accused 'Big Ya Dad' of being stubborn and domineering. , I do my thing..."

While Mao Xiang was reading, he quietly paid attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and movements.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stop eating, he immediately bent his knees slightly...

"you sure……"

Plop!

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded, Mao Xiang knelt down with silky smoothness.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Mao Xiang angrily and amusedly, "Are you sure the queen will burst into tears?"

"Yes, the woman from Tuqiao Village said after returning home that the Queen's eyes were red and she was crying." Mao Xiang stuck his buttocks out and pressed his forehead against the ground.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze, 'Have our behavior over the years really made Xiuying so depressed? Were we really wrong? ’

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and glanced at Mao Xiang, "Don't let Wei Guogong know about these things. He will take the blame for us again."

Xu Da:......

"As you command!"

"go on."

Then Mao Xiang began to pay attention to what he said, but did not mention what he had eaten for lunch, wanting to delay it until Zhu Yuanzhang finished his meal.

But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait any longer and asked with a dark face: "We asked you to collect every move the Queen made in Tuqiao Village, not useless details like how many times the Queen laughed."

"What did they eat for lunch?"

Since Mao Xiang, an idiot, couldn't understand the holy will, he asked directly.

Mao Xiang was lying on his knees, almost crying, and replied helplessly: "Zhu Silang cooked in person, and made grilled fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, cold radish to relieve greasiness, and a millet dish, added with lotus seeds and lotus roots, for the Queen. The soup is made, the fish is the plump carp brought by Jiangning County Magistrate Jiang Jinzhong on the day of the housewarming, Jiang Jinzhong especially likes the grilled fish cooked by His Highness, the mushrooms are..."

Thanks to Ma Xiuying's afternoon chatter, she couldn't help but show off her son.

Mao Xiang knew this lunch very clearly.

'Even Jiang Jinzhong can eat the food cooked by the Fourth Brother at any time, and even brings the fish himself for the Fourth Brother to grill, but we can't eat it? ! ! ’

(Jiang Jinzhong:...)

Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually turned dark, and he stared at the imperial meal on the table. Suddenly... it didn't taste good again!

…

"The Empress, while chatting with the women in the village, said that when she comes back, she will vividly describe the taste of Zhu Silang's cooking to 'Big Ya Daddy'."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched.

Mao Xiang, however, was not finished and continued to attack: "The Queen Empress also revealed during the chat that if 'Da Ya Daddy' makes her angry again, she will come to Tuqiao Village to stay for a while, have her grandson Nong Yi, and enjoy a family relationship." joy."

"The women of Tuqiao Village collectively expressed their welcome and agreed with the empress to spin and weave together..."

‘You’re not done yet! ’ Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Mao Xiang, who was prostrate with his butt sticking out, with a dark face.

"The Queen also said that she can live a few more years by living in Tuqiao Village."

Ahem!

"Okay, let's see for ourselves!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore and coughed with a dark face.

Mao Xiang wanted to laugh but was also trembling. He stood up quickly and held the secret memorial in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through the pages, he frowned and asked, "Zhu Silang supervised the children's homework in the afternoon and didn't do anything else?"

Mao Xiang looked up in confusion...

Noticing Zhu Yuanzhang glancing at the rice bowl placed on the table, he suddenly realized it and shook his head hurriedly: "Yes, Zhu Silang supervised the children's homework. He did not grind the rice or grind the flour."

"Your Majesty, I think Zhu Silang will definitely go to grind rice tomorrow..."

"We don't care what he does! He does whatever he likes!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, said with a dark face, "We didn't ask you this, why are you talking so much!"

"Thank you for your hard work today. Go and get the reward yourself."

After Mao Xiang accepted the order, he suppressed his laughter and hurried to receive the reward.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the imperial meal on the table and muttered: "That bastard is just complaining about us, and he also feels sorry for his mother. This fool Mao Xiang's judgment must be right. The bastard should be able to grind rice and flour tomorrow..."

"It's a pity. Grilled fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms... I don't know if that bastard has filial piety, or if he will make one and ask his mother to bring it back to us..."

For a moment, he was a little looking forward to tomorrow.

I haven't felt this way in years.
