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

Chapter 183 Zhu Biao went to Tuqiao Village, and Zhu Yuanzhang hinted that he would bring something back

Wangji Pharmacy. ░▒▓█►─══─◄█▓▒░

It is a typical front store and backyard model.

The back yard is divided into front yard and backyard.

The backyard is where the Wang family lives.

The front yard is where patients, pharmacy apprentices and clerks live.

Lan Yu lived in the front yard for a while.

Mr. Wang had taken on apprentices in the early years and had already established himself in the surrounding counties, but he never took on apprentices after he reached middle age.

This time Mr. Wang accepted a disciple, which alarmed many prominent people in Jiangning.

Mr. Wang also attaches great importance to the two apprentices he took in in his later years.

The apprenticeship standards are very large.

forecourt.

The Wang family and drug store helpers were busy coming in and out.

As it approached noon, guests began to arrive one after another, and the sounds of singing and cheering were heard from time to time as names and gift lists were announced.

In a room in the east wing.

Chunxiao and Minfeng were wearing brand new Wangji Drug Store, small medical children's clothes.

The two little guys stepped on stools and climbed up to the window, watching the people coming and going in the yard.

"Minfeng, my father and third uncle are living in the county these days, right? They will come to see us today to become apprentices, right?"

"Um!"

"I dreamed about my master and my wife last night, and I also dreamed about my junior brother and junior sister."

Minfeng, who was feeling a little depressed, couldn't help but turn his head when he heard Chunxiao's dream and asked, "What else?"

Chunxiao said with a smile: "I dreamed that the little junior sister was very naughty, and the master had a severe headache, but the master just doted on me. The little junior sister in the dream was different from now. He was not skinny, but grew into a little fat man. The master carried him with him every day. The junior brother was in the village, getting up early for a morning run. When he saw us walking and reciting morning chants, he winked at us and made faces to ask for help. He also wanted to talk to us and be lazy. When the master glared at us, the junior brother was frightened and stuck out his tongue at us. Then keep trying to run forward..."

"Running, running, running, I couldn't see anymore, so I was woken up by Aunt Wang to change clothes..."

"In your dream, are we still this big?"

"yes."

"What about junior brother?"

"Looking at my junior brother's height, he should be five or six years old..."

Ha ha……

Minfeng suddenly smiled happily, "Chunxiao, when the younger brother and younger sister are five or six years old, we will be thirteen or fourteen. In your dream, we have not grown up, only the younger brother and younger sister have grown up."

"By the time we learn Master Wang's medical skills, our junior brother and junior sister will be almost five or six years old."

…

"The king is out and will give you a piece of high-quality fabric!"

"Squire Zhang is here to see..."

…

As noon gets closer and closer, the scene outside the Wang Family Mansion becomes more and more lively.

On the road leading to Wangji Drug Store.

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin came with their horses.

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "This road doesn't matter to anyone, I am familiar with it. The last time Uncle Lan lost half his life in Tuqiao Village, he was treated at Wangji Pharmacy. Dad and I have been here."

"Mr. Wang from Wangji Pharmacy is said to have great medical skills. It would be a good choice for Chunxiao and Minfeng to have him as their teacher. As for his character, I think my brother-in-law must have understood it before he agreed."

"I'm not worried about the character of Mr. Wang." Xu Miaoyin observed the surroundings and said as she walked: "My sister is pregnant. This old man has diagnosed her several times. I am worried about the Wang family. Those government officials said that there are a few bastards in the Wang family..."

For larger families, this kind of thing is inevitable.

The purpose of supporting these two little guys is to let those bastards from the Wang family know that Chunxiao and Minfeng are not easy to bully.

…

The two brothers and sisters came to the door of Wang's Mansion while talking.

The disciples of the Wang family who were greeting the guests at the door rushed to greet them and asked with a smile: "Who are you two..."

Xu Huizu cupped his fists and smiled: "Mr. Xu's family, my sister and brother-in-law are two children, Zeng Jin's master and master's wife."

"This is our gift."

As he spoke, Xu Huizu turned around, took three pieces of fine cloth from the side of the horse's belly, and handed them over.

"Mr. Xu's family came to congratulate him and gave him three pieces of high-quality fabric!"

"You two, please come inside."

Amidst the singing and cheering, someone helped the brother and sister take their horses away and settle them down. A young man from the Wang family enthusiastically invited the two to the hospital.

"I didn't expect that these two country boys from Tuqiao Village would have such generous elders."

"..."

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but smile at each other as they listened to the discussions coming from behind them.

This is the effect you want.

Xu Miaoyin asked: "Where are Chunxiao and Minfeng? Can we meet them?"

"Mr. Xiao Xu! Minfeng, look, it's Mr. Xiao Xu!"

"Mr. Xiao Xu!"

As soon as Xu Miaoyin finished speaking, she heard a shout of surprise coming from the side.

Follow the sound.

He laughed immediately.

Chunxiao climbed up to the window, exposed her little head, and tried her best to wave.

Xu Miaoyin walked quickly towards the east wing.

When Xu Huizu saw Wang's side branch opening his mouth, he stretched out his hand to stop her. He smiled and apologized, "My sister has taught two children for a while. Can we meet them?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face, so Wang family members agreed with a smile.

…

In the wing room.

Chunxiao and Minfeng looked at Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin in surprise.

They are all familiar with each other.

Xu Miaoyin taught the children.

Xu Huizu lived in the ancestral hall for a long time.

Xu Miaoyin looked at the two children with a look of surprise on her face, and squatted down with a smile, "Don't you know them?"

"Mr. Xiao Xu, Xu Dalang."

The two children immediately smiled and said hello.

The corners of Xu Huizu's lips twitched.

Why is it that Miaoyin is Mr. Xu, and he is only worthy of Xu Dalang?

Chunxiao asked in surprise: "Mr. Xiao Xu, did the master and mistress ask you to come?"

Xu Miaoyin smiled and shook her head, "We are going to Tuqiao Village and passing by Jiangning. I heard about your apprenticeship, so I came to see you and support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Chunxiao and Chunxiao thanked him happily.

Today, as a disciple, in addition to their father, Mr. Xiao Xu and Xu Dalang were also present. They suddenly no longer felt nervous or scared.

…

Chatting later.

Xu Miaoyin took out two small pieces of silver from the money bag at her waist and handed them to the two of them separately.

Chunxiao and Minfeng hurriedly put their hands behind their backs and shook their heads: "Mr. Xiao Xu, my wife prepared it for us when we left, really."

As she spoke, Chunxiao lifted up the corner of her clothes and said, "Master and Mistress told us not to show off our wealth and use it when we encounter difficulties. I sewed it in secretly."

"Mr. Xiao Xu, Chunxiao also sewed it here for me." Minfeng also lifted up the corner of his clothes to show it, "Master and Mistress also brought us books."

Xu Miaoyin stretched out her hand and pinched it. Sure enough, it was some small broken silver.

She smiled and put away the money, counted a hundred coins from the purse, divided it into two parts and stuffed them into the hands of the two little guys, "Since sister has prepared money for you in case of emergency, then Mr. Xu will I won’t give it to you anymore.”

The more of this thing, the better.

Too much will cause trouble.

"Take these fifty coins with you and buy something you like to eat."

…

Not long after, Chunxiao and Minfeng were led away by a woman called Wang's aunt, Mr. Wang's daughter, to prepare.

The apprenticeship session is about to begin.

Xu Miaoyun and Xu Huizu were led to the front yard.

Tables were placed in the front yard.

Because they were Xu Miaoyun's parents, they were arranged to sit at the front table with Fourth Uncle Su and Third Uncle Liu.

"Congratulations from Zhou Shixian, the young owner of Langlang Grilled Fish in Jiangning County..."

"Congratulations from Team Leader Cao of the Zhuang Troop in Jiangning County..."

"Congratulations to Team Leader Liu of Jiangning County's arrest squad..."

"Congratulations from the leader of the soap class in Jiangning County..."

…

"Master Qian from Jiangning County congratulates..."

"Congratulations from the Prime Minister Yang County of Jiangning County..."

"The magistrate of Jiangning County congratulates..."

…

"Is Magistrate Fang here? It is said that Magistrate Fang came from the East Palace!"

"Mr. Wang is so proud that he even alarmed the entire county government by accepting a disciple!"

…

The guests at the banquet exclaimed when they heard a series of singing and drinking outside.

The Wang family, who had been waiting in the living room for Mr. Wang to come out to complete the apprenticeship ceremony, heard the sudden arrival of the guests, and they all ran out with surprise on their faces to greet the distinguished guests.

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin looked at each other and smiled.

The guests at the dinner thought this was for the Wang family.

But they knew that this was for their brother-in-law.

Xu Huizu saw that the fourth uncle and Su were quite restrained. He turned sideways, smiled and whispered, "Third and fourth uncles, don't be so nervous. Their Wang family is not much more noble than our Tuqiao Village."

"Moreover, the Jiangning County officials are here to support my brother-in-law and the two children." Xu Huizu added in a low voice.

…

Soon, surrounded by the Wang family.

Fang Xiaoru came in with a group of county officials.

The guests present stood up one after another to greet him.

"Fourth Uncle Su and Third Uncle Liu."

Some government servants who knew Fourth Uncle Su and Third Uncle Liu came directly to Xu Huizu's table.

The sharp-eyed guests couldn't help but be surprised when they noticed it.

However, soon, something happened that shocked them even more.

When Fang Xiaoru was dealing with the squire who had a relationship, she accidentally saw Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin, and was slightly stunned, 'Are these two here to support the two children? ’

Then he hurriedly ended his conversation with the squires and celebrities and walked quickly.

Xu Huizu stood up first with the purpose of trying to squeeze Fang Xiaoru. When Fang Xiaoru came over, he pretended to be surprised, "You... you are the magistrate of Jiangning County. Last time you were at my brother-in-law's house, how did you say that you are a traveling student!" "

Fang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took Xu Huizu's hand and pulled him closer. He lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "Young Master, it was Fang who was wrong last time, and your brother-in-law and sister recorded it in the small account. On this occasion, Give Fang some face."

Well, he won't tell the young father-in-law of the Xu family that through his clever operation, Zhu Silang and Xu Daya have settled the account.

Xu Huizu smiled and whispered, "Fang Xizhi, no matter how cunning you are like a fox, you can't escape from the hands of my brother-in-law and sister. You will gain wisdom from every step you take. Don't be that kind of person who cannibalize others and lie to others again." It’s a family matter.”

"Yes, yes." Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly.

Zhu Silang and Xu Daya each have eight hundred thoughts.

He also has a habit of keeping small accounts for others.

If His Majesty and the Crown Prince hadn't asked him to come to Jiangning, he would have stayed as far away as possible.

"Magistrate Fang, Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, my father invites them to go to the living room to watch the ceremony."

Just when Xu Huizu was running against Fang Xiaoru, the eldest son of the prince came to invite everyone.

Xu Huizu and others left and entered the living room.

The guests in the courtyard immediately started talking.

"Who are those boys and girls?"

"I heard that they are the mother-in-law of the former master's wife who had two children."

"It seems that Magistrate Fang is very familiar with the other party."

"When the county government officials came in just now, they went directly to greet the father of the two children. I feel that this time the entire county government came to congratulate, not for the Wang family, but for the two children."

"No, it's directed at Mr. Zhu. It is said that the former Magistrate Jiang highly respected Mr. Zhu!"

"Co-authored, the Jiangning government came to congratulate them and to support their two children!"

…

It’s noon this day.

Both the Jiangning government headed by Fang Xiaoru and the Xu Huizu brothers and sisters kept a low profile as much as possible to give the Wang family face.

But the Wang family goes up and down.

Even the guests who came here knew that these people came to support the two children because of their master and mistress.

Some people in the Wang family branch who were jealous of the two children also stopped their thoughts.

Afternoon.

At the city gate.

Xu Miaoyin looked at the two little guys and said with a smile: "When your wife is finished her confinement, your master will take the college examination. They will definitely come to see you then. Mr. Wang is a nice person. Learn from him." Learn your true skills.”

"Well, Mr. Xiao Xu!"

The two little guys nodded.

Xu Miaoyin got on her horse and looked at Zhou Shixian who was taking the two children out of the city, "Mr. Zhou, please send Chunxiao and the others back to Wangji."

Zhou Shixian nodded cautiously, "I will send the two children back safely."

We chatted briefly.

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin said goodbye and rode away.

…

time flies.

Happy time flies by faster.

But for some people, time goes very slowly.

Morning ends.

Zhu Biao accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to the imperial study.

At some point.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Tomorrow, will the two of the fourth family be full moon?"

‘Father, is it really unclear? ’

Zhu Biao tried his best to hold back his laughter. As far as he knew, his father was counting the days on his fingers.

"Yes, it's a full moon tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped and turned around...

Zhu Biao was not prepared, and the scene of suppressing laughter was fully seen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched fiercely, and he asked with a black face: "I heard that you and your wife have decided to go to Tuqiao Village tomorrow?"

Xiuying can go, Biaoer can go!

If the second and third sons are in Beijing, I'm afraid they will go too!

Why can't he go?

Zhu Biao felt a strong sense of resentment and cautiously answered: "I have this plan. If... my father doesn't agree, forget it. I will stay and accompany my father."

General?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned even darker, he threw up his sleeves and turned around, angrily, "When did we not agree with you to go! If you want to go, you can go..."

call!

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly caught up, persuading: "Father, why don't you come too?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly, and the expression of excitement on his face flashed away, "He didn't invite us, what should we do!"

‘Co-author, are you still waiting for the fourth child to invite you? ’

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sneered and shook his head helplessly. What a wonderful occasion it was tomorrow. As a grandfather, he was going to celebrate the full moon banquet for his children. As the father of his children, the fourth child would definitely forgive him even if he was angry.

My father is determined to save face and suffer the consequences.

If you don’t know how to hold on to the steps, just take the initiative to get down.

It will be uncomfortable to be alone in the palace tomorrow.

Arrive at the Imperial Study Room.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the imperial case and warned: "After you go, as an elder brother, you will beat him hard. Three days after the full moon banquet, it will be the college entrance examination. Tell him, don't cheat, this is for our elders." It’s a big matter for the Zhu family to fight for their reputation!”

"If a scholar fails even one exam, don't blame me for tormenting him!"

Zhu Biao smiled helplessly and persuaded: "Father, there are so many scholars in the world, but how many of them actually get the title of scholar? Isn't the requirement for the fourth child in one exam too harsh?"

According to admission ratio.

The most talented person in the academy examination is one in a thousand.

The number of candidates for the provincial examination is one out of five thousand.

The number of Jinshi in the National Examination is one in ten thousand.

Each level becomes more difficult than the last, and the competition increases exponentially.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and looked up at Zhu Biao.

There are some things Biao'er doesn't know.

But he knows.

Ever since girl Miaoyun got married, the young couple has been studying every day.

As far as he knew, the books in the old brother's house had been changed eight times in more than a year.

There are several big boxes every time!

In other words, during this year, the young couple read at least a thousand books!

That bastard has a lot of ink in his stomach now!

As a scholar, as long as you fail the test, your attitude is not correct, and he will not accept excuses or refutations!

'If we don't remind Biao'er, will he be embarrassed, eat one, take one, and come back to be filial to us? ’

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and pondered.

Suddenly I felt unconfident.

‘If I were that bastard from the Fourth Brother, I would definitely be able to do it, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to do it like a gentleman. ’

"Xiong Ying is young, so don't follow him. He will be sent to the palace tomorrow. Father will take care of it himself. If there is anything delicious or fun at the fourth place, you can bring some back to Xiong Ying." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered with a straight face.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take Zhu Xiongying to see the countryside, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he had no choice but to agree: "I obey the order."

…

Return to the East Palace.

Zhu Biao told the matter to Crown Princess Chang.

Giggle...

After hearing this, Mr. Chang burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhu Biao looked suspicious.

Mrs. Chang finally managed to calm down her smile and asked with a smile: "You really don't see the purpose of your father asking us to send the hero to the palace?"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, what purpose could his father have?

It's nothing more than holding it in your mouth for fear of melting, holding it in your hands for fear of falling.

I care too much about Xiongying.

"Father cares about Xiongying, there is no doubt about it." Seeing that Zhu Biao hadn't figured it out yet, Chang explained with a smile, "But this time, there is another intention, under the guise of Xiongying, let us leave from the fourth brother's house , bring something back.”

puff!

Ha ha……

Zhu Biao finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he shook his head helplessly, "Father, he is too strong. In the end, he is the one who will suffer. Get ready. Father has agreed. Let's set off tomorrow morning when the curfew ends..."
