Chapter 213 Staying up late!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and looked at Zhu Jun who was enjoying his meal. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a moment.
"You bastard, what's the second couplet?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Jun was holding a big chicken drumstick in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang asking questions, he turned to look at him and said vaguely: "Father, can't you be sorry?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Jun, "This kid, what are you talking about?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red. If he admitted it in front of so many people, would he still have the face?
"Fart, we already have a second line in our hearts, please talk about your second line first!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Father, you actually can't be sorry at all, right?" Zhu Jun said.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, just stand there!" Lao Zhu became angry in embarrassment.
Zhu Jun was dumbfounded, "Mother, he doesn't keep his word. He promised that if I matched four pairs, I would be rewarded heavily. Now that I can't match the pairs, he is throwing heat on me!"
"Okay, okay, it's just a couple. If it doesn't match this year, it won't be enough, right?" Empress Ma decided directly, "Sixth, come this way to the queen. You can tell the queen the second line quietly. I want to read it.
Let’s see if someone is going to kick me out!”
Zhu Jun smiled, hurriedly moved to Queen Ma, and then whispered the second line to her.
Everyone listened with open ears.
In fact, they didn't get it right and wanted to know what the second line was.
But Zhu Jun's voice was so low that he couldn't be heard at all.
For a moment, everyone was a little heartbroken.
"It's really wonderful!" Queen Ma nodded after hearing this and couldn't stop praising it.
"Royal Grandma, what is the second line?" Little Fatty was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang. He was not in the mood at all after eating this meal. He was thinking about the second line.
"Come here, Grandma Huang will tell you!" Queen Ma waved to Little Fatty.
Little Fatty trotted over, and Queen Ma said in his ear, "Go and tell the others the second line, but remember, don't tell your grandpa Huang!"
Little Fatty nodded and was thinking about the second line. The flesh on his face stretched out and he was as happy as if he had got a beloved toy. "Wonderful, wonderful!"
After saying that, he quickly ran to the ears of others and whispered.
After learning about the second couplet, Zhu Di also frowned, then relaxed his brows and couldn't help but praise: "This second couplet is extremely interesting and really wonderful."
Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and said angrily: "Hide it and tuck it in, it's not like we can't come out!"
Empress Ma snorted, "There are no outsiders here. We must save face and suffer the consequences."
After saying that, she encouraged everyone to continue eating and drinking.
Others got the second line, went to work on something that was on their mind, and ate happily.
But Lao Zhu felt bitter for a while, and the others did not dare to disobey Queen Ma's order, so they quietly told Lao Zhu the second line.
Seeing his shriveled appearance, everyone found it funny.
In this large family, only Queen Ma can hold him down.
After everyone had eaten and drank, Queen Ma took Zhu Jun's hand and said to everyone, "Let's go enjoy the lanterns!"
Lao Zhu is usually frugal, but on big days like the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, he really likes to watch lanterns.
In the past two years, colorful buildings were built in Yingtian City, and tens of thousands of water lanterns were lit on the Qinhuai River, which became a spectacle for a while.
This year it’s not much different. Standing on the city wall, you can enjoy the lanterns.
In the square outside Wumen, a very large lighthouse was built, and countless people came out carrying lanterns.
This is only the New Year's Eve, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year and reaching its peak with the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival.
Zhu Jun looked at the fireworks in the world and felt very emotional.
How beautiful!
However, if this was done in other dynasties, they would still have to recite poems and write lyrics, but the people of Lao Zhu's family... don't even have two ounces of ink in their stomachs.
No one is arty either.
Everyone said: "Oh, damn, look over there, it's so beautiful!"
However, Zhu Jun thought it was quite good. Everyone was eating, drinking, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and playing a small game of pot throwing. Isn't it better than moaning without any illness?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lao Zhu calling his eldest nephew aside and saying something.
"Dasun, I love you the most. Can you tell me the second line of the couplet quietly?" Zhu Yuanzhang whispered.
Zhu Yingxiong said: "Grandpa Huang, it was you who looked down on Uncle Six first. If you want to know the second line, you can do it, but you have to admit defeat first!"
"Bad boy, why do I love you so much?"
"One code, one code, who can't afford it!" Zhu Yingxiong said and ran away.
Old Zhu was so angry that he immediately turned around and saw Zhu Jun looking this way. He snorted coldly and looked away arrogantly, forcing himself to calm down and enjoy the lanterns.
After admiring the lanterns, the women and children were all sleepy, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to rest first.
In previous years, Zhu Yu would stay with him to watch the New Year's Eve, but now everyone was here, and Zhu Yu had not recovered yet, so everyone stayed to stay and watch the New Year's Eve.
The lights in the Huagai Hall were bright, and Zhu Yu couldn't bear to rest any longer. Zhu Jun leaned on his chair and yawned continuously.
Zhu Di was full of energy, and Zhu Yuanzhang also chatted with them, talking about border affairs.
"Second brother, you have been married to Guanyin Nu for so many years, why don't you have any children?"
Zhu Sha said hurriedly: "Father, this is definitely not Erchen's problem, it's that bitch's...her problem. Erchen has also consulted many famous doctors, but to no avail!"
"Humph, do you think we are fools?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "We still don't know what you are doing? What happened to Guanyin Slave, why do you want to treat her like this?
I promised her to you in the first place in the hope that you would treat her better so that when we have children in the future, we can better recruit Wang Baobao.
If Wang Baobao surrenders, all the remaining Meng Yuan troops will surrender, which will save us a lot of effort.
At the very least, there is no need to send troops or waste a lot of food and grass.
Not only that, they can also join forces to suppress Zhang Zhou and threaten Chang'an!"
Zhu Sha lowered his head, "My son, I just don't like her. She smells like sheep and the smell of grassland people, and I can't get rid of it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I would beat you to death!"
Zhu Jun was no longer sleepy. To be honest, his second sister-in-law was very beautiful, gentle and virtuous. She always spoke like a spring breeze and smelled very good.
Coupled with the customs of the Mongolian people, she also grew up on horseback. Her gentleness reveals a wild nature, which makes people feel like they want to conquer.
"Father, even if you beat me to death, I will still say this!" Zhu Hao said, holding his neck: "If you don't do this again, you issue an imperial edict, and I will arrest Wang Baobao immediately!"
"Just you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also furious, grabbed the fruit plate in front of him and threw it, "Is Wang Baobao so easy to deal with?
If it were so easy to deal with, we wouldn't be so roundabout."
He was really angry. He had tried to appease Guanyin Nu and used this as a breakthrough point to recruit An Wang Baobao.
