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

Chapter 171 Ma Xiuying plays the emotional card to bring glory to the ancestors of the Zhu family!

"It's been a bumpy ride today. After washing your feet, take the time to rest. I'll call you when it's time to eat. ൠ♦"

bedside.

Zhu Di squatted on the pony and gave instructions while washing Xu Miaoyun's feet.

Xu Miaoyun had not finished eating the candied haws on both hands. Hearing this, she smiled and handed the candied haws to Zhu Di.

Saw the candied haws.

Zhu Di couldn't help but think of that crow's mouth!

It feels like eating this candied haws on a stick is like eating up your own little cotton-padded jacket.

"Don't eat!"

puff!

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help being amused, "You take one, just one, and I will listen to whatever you say."

She discovered it.

Shiro is usually very energetic, but sometimes he is also petty.

Once you are too cautious.

Smaller than a woman!

Let's see, if she doesn't give birth to a little cotton-padded jacket this time, she will meet that chatty hawker again in the future.

The hawker shouldn't even think about making a penny off Shiro!

Zhu Di looked up, smiled angrily and glared.

"You eat, eat one..."

Xu Miaoyun suppressed her laughter and deliberately provoked Zhu Di. No matter where Zhu Di turned her head, the candied haws in her hands always followed.

"Xu Daya, have you forgotten that you have already filled three account books, and half of the fourth one has been filled in."

"Then try to finish the fourth book before the little cotton-padded jacket is born." Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

The words he spoke had a strong "laozi tone".

Dong dong dong...

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhu Di glared, Xu Miaoyun stopped making trouble, took back the candied haws, and started eating it himself.

"Enter."

Zhu Di didn't even look back, thinking it was the waiter who had brought tea.

Ma Xiuying pushed the door open and was slightly stunned when she saw the scene inside the house. Then, a smile appeared on her lips, and she made a hissing gesture to Xu Miaoyun, who was stunned and blushing.

Xu Miaoyun was biting a candied haws.

She watched Ma Xiuying walk in with a smile and sit down at the table in the room.

His face was red, and he wanted to lower his head and hide it.

The beautiful toes moved wildly in the water, reminding Zhu Di.

"Don't move." Zhu Di grabbed Xu Miaoyun's feet and reminded, and then said without looking back: "Just put the tea on the table."

"Um."

Ma Xiuying suppressed her voice, hummed softly, picked up the empty teapot on the table, and deliberately made a little noise.

Xu Miaoyun helplessly covered her face...

I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!

While Zhu Di was helping Xu Miaoyun wipe his feet, he turned his back to the table and said somewhat unhappily: "After you put down your things, you can go out."

The waiter in this shop is so unruly.

Xu Miaoyun kept winking at Zhu Di.

Only then did Zhu Di notice. Turning around, he saw Ma Xiuying sitting on a stool by the table, looking at them with a smile.

After the experience of being bumped into at night last time, Zhu Di had already adapted. He looked at Ma Xiuying and couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, is this fun?"

How can you be an elder?

She is also the queen of a country whose mother is the queen of the world.

He is simply an old naughty boy!

Ma Xiuying glared with a smile, stood up and walked to the bed, "Are you still resenting me? You know someone comes in, but you don't avoid it yourself. Besides, it's really fun."

As she said that, Ma Xiuying smiled.

Every time she got along with the young couple, she found it particularly interesting and happy.

Zhu Di sneered shamelessly, turned his head, and glared at Xu Miaoyun with a smile, "I'll pour the water, and you stay with me."

‘Don’t leave me alone in this embarrassment! ’

Xu Miaoyun blushed and threatened Zhu Di with her eyes.

Zhu Di smiled brightly, picked up the basin, and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Miaoyun sat beside the bed, blushing and not daring to raise her head.

Ma Xiuying sat down by the bed, smiled and grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand. Seeing Xu Miaoyun holding a bunch of candied haws in each hand, she couldn't help but laugh.

Finally, he smiled calmly, changed the subject and asked: "Do you feel any discomfort during the bumpy journey..."

…

Zhu Di went outside to pour water without loyalty, and deliberately went downstairs to order lunch for the children, and then slowly went upstairs.

When he opened the door and came in with a pot of hot tea, he saw his mother sitting by the bed and watching. Miaoyun seemed to be tired and fell asleep.

"Shh!"

When Ma Xiuying heard the sound of opening the door, she immediately turned around and signaled Zhu Di to be gentle.

Get up and come to the table.

Zhu Di poured a cup of tea for Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying asked: "Is Miaoyun a little nervous during this time?"

Seeing Zhu Di nodding, he whispered: "As a man and husband, you have to take on all aspects during this period and do it right..."

Of course Zhu Di knew. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

But still listen patiently.

Those who are willing to teach you life experience and tell the truth are often people who care about you.

Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Di listened seriously, without being perfunctory or impatient. Combined with the daily life of the young couple together, she suddenly felt that there was no need to say anything.

He glared with a smile and asked in a low voice, "After this children's examination, do you have any plans to continue to compete for the college examination, the provincial examination, and then next year's general examination?"

Last year, Gan Ke, a candidate on the South List.

This year, Ganke will be the candidate for the North List.

There is only one chance left, which is next year’s exam.

After Chongba ranked Enke in Beibei last year, he had already decided that the imperial court would not issue Enke again in the next few years.

Nine years after the founding of the country, Enke has been open for several consecutive years.

The imperial court had reserved a group of talents and appeased the scholars, so there was no need for frequent appointments.

If the fourth child doesn't impact next year's conference, or his impact during the period fails.

It will be three years later.

Without Encore, a general examination would only be held every three years.

new

Zhu Di was a little embarrassed. He actually planned to pass the college examination and get a scholar status, so he stopped temporarily.

With his status as a scholar, the old man can no longer mess with him.

Moreover, passing the examination as a scholar temporarily appeased the old man.

But looking at the queen mother's appearance now, the old man seemed to want him to try directly.

Seeing Zhu Di's expression, Ma Xiuying understood that she had guessed correctly. The fourth child was planning to use delaying tactics. She smiled angrily and glared: "You think that if you avoid this year's examination, you can delay it for three years?"

"Don't forget, the power is in your father's hands."

"If he wants you to take the exam, he can give you an exam!"

First, scare the fourth child.

As expected, Zhu Di's face instantly turned ugly.

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Now, the officials and dignitaries in Jinling are talking about whether you will continue to hit the imperial examination when you take part in the imperial examination, and at which level you will be stuck at if you continue to hit the test."

"You also know what happened to our Zhu family's ancestors."

"I don't know how many people, on the surface, respect your father, but privately, they laugh at our ancestors as mud-legged people and your father as a beggar and monk."

"If you can directly attack in one fell swoop, you will be named on the gold medal list. People who know your identity will no longer dare to laugh at your father in private. The ancestors of Lao Zhu's family will be proud of you."

…

To frighten the fourth child and kill the fourth child's idea of ​​procrastination, it is time to play the emotional card.

She could see clearly.

This kid is emotional.

If my parents weren't traveling far away.

I'm afraid he had already left Daming with Miaoyun.

"Girl Miaoyun is about to give birth. Is it possible that after the baby is born, you don't want to take Miaoyun back to your parents' home with Fengfeng Guangguangguang?"

"Miaoyun doesn't care about this. If I follow you, you can't help but think about Miaoyun, right? As a husband, you will be a father soon. You can't be so selfish that you only think about yourself."

"My son, Ma Xiuying, wouldn't be so selfish, right?"

Another hat for the fourth child!

The corners of Zhu Di's lips twitched, and he couldn't help crying or laughing.

Thumbs up, "Mom, either you have your father under control, first state the facts, scare me, then play the emotional card, and then when the conversation changes, you give me a big hat..."

After being seen through, Ma Xiuying glared with a smile and promised: "Mom knows that you don't want to become an official for the time being. Even if you succeed in the impact test next year, it will be next year. Mom and your father will not force you to become an official." I just want you to make our old Zhu family feel proud."

Let the fourth child's worries go now, and he will find other excuses later if he regrets it.

"Mom, I can't guarantee that the impact will be successful. It is very likely that the child will fail in the exam. There are many such examples..."

"How dare you!" Ma Xiuying laughed angrily, glared and lectured: "If you fail the Tongsheng exam, whether you are really not capable enough or you did it on purpose, if your father doesn't do anything, I will break your legs first! Niangdiu I can’t afford this man!”

"That's it, it's settled. You give the ancestors of our Lao Zhu family a chance to speak out, and give them a continuous blow. Mom won't disturb you anymore. When you have lunch at lunch, call me mom."

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, got up and sent Ma Xiuying back to the room.

Back inside the house, I just closed the door.

I heard muffled laughter coming from the bed.

When I walked to the bed, I saw someone covering his face and the quilt was shaking slightly.

Zhu Di was immediately amused, "Have you been pretending to be asleep because of your feelings?"

Xu Miaoyun pulled down the quilt, tried hard not to laugh, and joked: "I'll break your legs first!"

"Pretending to be asleep and eavesdropping!"

"Can you blame me? You left me behind so shamelessly. In order to avoid embarrassment, my mother asked me to rest. Of course I have to pretend to sleep!"

…

The sound of laughter and fighting resounded in the house.

At noon, Zhou Shixian brought more than a hundred Langlang grilled fish to Wangxian Tower.

Provided free of charge to every child taking the imperial examination.

Sure enough, the reviews were rave.

After Zhou Shixian saw the response, he asked Zhu Di if he could inquire about the candidates in other inns in the city and provide them to these children at night.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was very supportive of Zhou Shixian's ability to draw inferences.

…

after dinner.

Before break.

Zhu Di supported Xu Miaoyun and went to the children's rooms to check to see if there were any children who were playing so hard that they didn't sleep, or kicked off the quilt.

Go to the last room and settle in.

Just getting ready to leave.

The little green girl opened her eyes drowsily, "Master, Mistress..."

He muttered, his eyelids seemed very heavy, and he closed his eyes uncontrollably.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile at each other.

Really tired.

In the afternoon, Ma Xiuying accompanied Xu Miaoyun.

Zhu Di and Zhou Shixian took this group of children to look outside the examination venue. At the same time, they took a group of children to visit the entire county.

The kids went crazy.

Nervous before an exam and can't sleep? Totally non-existent!

The two quietly walked out of the rooms of several young girls and returned to their own room.

In the next room.

Ma Xiuying saw through the window that the light from Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's room was extinguished, she smiled and said: "Mingxia, you should go and rest too."

Mingxia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are very happy today. Is there anything good you can do?"

"Yes." Ma Xiuying said happily: "The fourth child agreed to continue competing for the imperial examination."

"Really? That's great. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be happy to have an extra job." Mingxia was very happy after hearing this.

…

The next day.

The sky is slightly white.

Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Zhu, are you nervous? Are you confident?"

The first time he opened his eyes, a smiling and joking voice sounded in his ears.
