The emperor's grandson asked you to study in the palace, but look at what you do every day?
You can ride horses, hunt, eat, drink and have fun. When you come to the capital, each of you will bring a group of slaves for your use!
Not only are your studies a mess, you don’t even know how much food the fields produce, or what solar terms to plant and what solar terms to harvest. You guys have grown so big in vain!
The old man put his hands behind his back and scolded the emperor and his grandchildren.
We, the old Zhu family, were born in poverty, and our ancestors were just mud-legged people digging in the fields for eight generations. Now that we have become the world, we must not forget our roots in glory and wealth! From now on, you will all be vassal kings, in charge of the fiefdom, lead the army and govern the people.
People, you have even forgotten the book, how can we rest assured in the future?
All the emperors and grandsons were too frightened to speak. They all knelt on the ground and buried their heads deeply.
If you can't study well or farm well, what's the use? You're still a good man? The old man continued to scold, "I never tire of fine food and fine food, but I enjoy it even more than I do! Your generation is like this, in the future your
Where are the children and grandchildren?
From now on, the children and grandchildren of these vassal kings will become the moths of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi watched with cold eyes, and in his heart he hated these people for not living up to expectations. Speaking of it, the old man's sons may have many problems, but if taken alone, they can stand alone. But these emperor's grandchildren are much worse.
Although Zhu Yunxi had secretly pushed for it, the vassal king was far away from the vassal affairs. But if they really went to the border, these people were far less brave than their fathers, let alone that kind of ability.
When the emperor's grandson and the princes were studying in the palace, no great scholar ever complained to us! The master continued, but you have only been here a few days, and my ears are numb from hearing your bad words.
Yes! As he said that, the old man suddenly cursed, Zhu Gaoxu!
Grandson! Zhu Gaoxu agreed quickly.
I asked you to study, but you complained of headaches all day long. I asked you to ride a horse and hunt, and you were more energetic than anyone else! The old man scolded.
Grandson! Zhu Gaoxu hesitated and said loudly that his grandson aspires to be a horse-riding king like his father, rather than studying. The things in the books really feel to his grandson...
Shut up! Zhu Gaochi suddenly stood up and slapped him on the back of the head. Did he ask you to speak?
You deserve it! Zhu Yunxi smiled secretly in his heart.
The old man was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring. Boss, slap him hard! As he said, he cursed again, are you still competing with your father? Can you compete? Are you still talking back?
As he said that, the old man looked around, picked up the bamboo pole used to repel birds, snapped the two ends with a click, walked over, and followed your father's example, right? Your father used to eat our fried meat with bamboo shoots when he was a child, and his butt stuck out!
Grandfather, ouch! Zhu Gaoxu screamed and rubbed his buttocks.
The old man swung it round, bang bang bang bang.
He slapped him several times and cursed, "If you don't study, you won't be able to fight. You will be a common man and a reckless man for the rest of your life! You will be ignorant and messy all your life!"
Zhu Gaojiu's screams echoed around, and the emperor's grandchildren buried their heads deeper, for fear that if they were not careful, the old man would see them and hit them with a bamboo stick on their buttocks. Especially Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Yunxi saw with his own eyes that his second brother was beaten
When he picked up the stick, he quietly climbed more than a foot to the side.
Grandpa Huang, the nine sons of the dragon are all different! Zhu Yunxi advised, calm down, they are still young, so it is not surprising that they are a little naughty. Besides, they all grew up in fine clothes and fine food, so they can understand even if they don’t understand some things!
Loving a son is like killing a son! The old man continued to slap him twice, and said angrily, no one cares about you in the fiefdom, but here, you should be a good person! After saying that, he threw the stick in his hand and said loudly, starting tomorrow
, drive away all the slaves around you, leaving only two eunuchs to serve you!
We will personally review your homework every day. If you don’t learn well or do not learn well, you will be careful!
Without our permission, you are not allowed to leave the palace to play without permission. Especially you, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Youyi, please restrain yourself. Don't do those unseemly things. I won't bear to beat you, but I will!
I obey the order! All the emperors and grandsons were trembling with fear.
Look, don't you always want to have a family dinner? Why did you still attend? Zhu Yunxi smiled and the old man helped him sit down.
On a rainy day, a big kid should be idle! The old man snorted.
It’s not raining either! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man glanced at him and touched the shoes on his feet. Are you feeling itchy too?
How can you leave some dignity for your grandson? Zhu Yunxi quickly smiled and said, his grandson's academic performance is much better than theirs! After saying that, he turned to the emperors and grandsons and said, haven't you thanked the emperor for his teachings?
Ministers, please thank the emperor’s grandfather for his kindness in teaching! The emperor’s grandsons spoke.
Imperial Grandfather! Zhu Gaochi said with a cup of his hands, his grandson is the eldest son and he failed to fulfill his responsibility to teach his younger brother. I feel guilty! From now on, my grandson must discipline his younger brother well and never let you worry about him again!
Now he behaves like an elder brother! The old man nodded and said, among the emperors and grandsons, the second and third children in your family are the most naughty. From now on, if they disobey, you can just slap them, and we will make the decision for you!
Yes! Zhu Gaochi said loudly, my grandson obeys the order!
Zhu Gaojiu rubbed his butt, looked at his eldest brother, then at the old man, with a sad face. Zhu Gaojiu, on the other hand, quickly moved towards his eldest brother.
Get up and eat! The old man waved his hand.
What we ate was not a good dish, just a big pot of mutton stew.
The cooking method is somewhat different from that used in the palace in the past. The stewed mutton is divided into individual casseroles. In the milky soup, the skinned mutton is tumbling. There are also white radish, sugar cane and other items.
Each person has a pot, which is about a pound. The mutton in the pot is fat or lean, and there are also side dishes such as tofu, green vegetables, and yam.
The eunuchs pushed up a table with various dipping sauces in small bowls.
The emperor and his grandchildren were all sitting obediently. Zhu Yunxi was holding a bowl and mixing the dipping sauce at the table. "Grandpa Huang, please give me more pepper oil!"
Well, Sichuan peppercorns go well with mutton, and add more southern milk! The old man spoke, and then he took the soup Pu Bucheng served and took a sip, wondering what he was doing, eating!
All the emperors and grandsons stood up again to thank them, and then they were busy making dipping sauces and other things.
There is still more in the pot than is enough to eat. You have to eat enough, but don’t leave anything behind. The old man watched his grandchildren devouring it, and a smile appeared on his face. Mutton is easy to digest. When we were young, we ate three kilograms in one meal!
As he said that, the old man sighed again, "It's not that I want to beat you up or scold you. Your great-grandfather's generation would never dare to think of this mutton, and it has never been seen by his mother. You now have the best food and the best clothes."
OK, but don’t take everything for granted!
Go and see among the people. What do the people eat? If you have two taels of meat, you will celebrate the New Year! Remember, our ancestors had a hard time conquering the world. You who dominate the world cannot eat and drink freely and be arrogant and lustful. Let alone forget that our ancestors’
difficult!
The ministers must remember the teachings of the emperor's grandfather! The emperor's grandsons quickly saluted again.
Grandpa Huang, please try it! Zhu Yunxi sat down next to the old man, fished out a few pieces of good meat and gave it to the old man with a smile.
The old man lowered his head and looked at the bowl, um, get us the sheep's hooves!
There is meat here, why do you need to eat that?
What do you know? The old man hummed, the most chewy thing!
The old man couldn't resist the stubbornness, so Zhu Yunxi asked someone to fish out the sheep's hooves for him. The old man didn't mind the soup, so he grabbed it with his hands, took a bite, and said with a sigh, it's watered down!
There are dipping sauces here! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
If the old man glances at him again, we will eat it!
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, How about I give you a sip?
Well! The old man nodded immediately. There is nothing wrong with pairing sheep hooves with white wine!
Just one cup, don’t drink more! Zhu Yunxi ordered the palace servants to get the wine.
The other emperors and grandsons were eating silently, and saw that the two of them were enjoying themselves, with extremely rich expressions on their faces. Most of them were envious. They were also the grandsons of the old man. They did not dare to talk to the old man like this. Nor would the old man be so affectionate to them.
.
Seeing the wine, the old man smiled even more. Look at Zhu Yunxi, don't you want some?
There are still memorials on my grandson’s side that I haven’t read yet! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Take things slowly, don't be hasty! The old man said, don't be tired! After saying that, he turned around and said, Pu Bucheng, please pour a glass of wine for our eldest grandson too!
The faces of other emperors and grandchildren were even more envious.
Give them some drinks too! Zhu Yunxi smiled at the old man and said, today's family dinner, my grandson will join these brothers and have a sip with you!
Okay! The old man laughed, and then told everyone with a straight face, "You have borrowed the honor of the emperor's grandson!"
Thank you!
Just as Zhu Yunxi was about to speak, he saw the blind man holding Huang Feng's memorial in the distance and running towards him quickly.
He quickly stood up, greeted him, took the memorial and read it carefully.
What's wrong? The old man shouted from a distance.
Zhu Yunxi frowned and looked lonely. The Yellow River in Henan Province has burst!
The old man paused with his chopsticks, lowered his head and looked at the mutton in the bowl, and said in a low voice, there is another disaster! The people.........
