People feel sad in autumn and look forward to winter. When spring and summer come, people begin to enjoy the sunny weather.
The sky is as blue as jasper, and countless kites are floating in the gentle breeze and warm sunshine. There are big and small kites, but their shapes are completely different. There are lifelike swallows and animals with wind chimes, stretching out in the sky like flowers.
Fight for beauty.
On the ground, the adults holding the rope were smiling with joy, and the children stretched out their hands and chased after them with smiles.
Two carriages slowly drove out of the city gate of the capital. They looked like official carriages. Each carriage had two horses, and there were hundreds of elite cavalry guards beside the carriages.
Zhu Gaochi was in the first carriage, and once again carefully looked at the majestic capital city wall through the gap in the curtain. The gaze in his eyes was profound, and the expression on his face was a little sad amid the excitement.
He didn't expect that the emperor's grandfather actually let them go back, or to be precise, the emperor's grandson actually let them go back. But when things happened, he didn't feel the slightest bit happy. Because he knew that the reason why they let them go back was because
I have a sure chance of winning, I just don't want to make my grandfather feel uncomfortable anymore.
They didn't take Yan Fan seriously at all.
What will it be like next time?
Zhu Gaochi sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly a bitter smile appeared on his face.
If my father continues to persist in his obsession, he may come back to Beijing not in a carriage, but in a prison car!
The carriage was driving slowly. In the second carriage, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were sitting opposite each other with their arms folded.
Why doesn't the boss sit with us? Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked.
Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes at him. His big body is sitting with us. Can it be accommodated in this carriage?
As he said that, Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Tsk, tsk, the boss is still the treacherous one! You see, pretending to be sick made the emperor's grandfather soften his heart and ordered us to return to Peking!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked a little lonely when he thought about it. It's a pity that he can't go hunting during this season. His father said that during spring and summer, everything grows, and only winter is suitable for hunting!
Second brother, you have nothing else on your mind? Zhu Gaosui said dissatisfiedly, the boss has so many evil intentions, we must be careful in the future and don’t let him scheme!
Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly and said he would go home first. Everything else is a matter for later! As he spoke, he burst out laughing. When we got out of the capital, I went outside and put on a fast horse. I haven't run a horse in many days!
You...Zhu Gaosui was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "It's like a chicken talking to a duck!"
Are you a chicken? Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Zhu Gaosui is not angry, you are a duck!
Hehe! Zhu Gaoxu suddenly put his arms around the other party's shoulders and said with a bad smile, Third brother, I found that since you came to the capital, you have been disrespectful to my second brother and me! Have you been itchy since I haven't beaten you in some days?
Zhu Gaosui quickly smiled awkwardly, threw away the other person's arm, and sat aside in silence.
At this time, the vehicle frame in front suddenly stopped, as if someone had stopped them.
Zhu Gaoxu threw back the curtain, overjoyed, and shouted, uncle!
The Duke of Wei, the Xu family brothers, and their families stopped in front of their carriage. They must have come to see the three brothers off.
When Xu Zengshou, the second master of the Xu family, saw Zhu Gaoxu, he laughed and said, "Second boy, my uncle is here to see you off!"
Zhu Gaojiu cheered and jumped off the carriage. Zhu Gaosui followed closely behind, also with a smile on his face.
Compared to them, Zhu Gaochi is much calmer.
After getting off the carriage, he bowed respectfully to the Xu brothers and said, "I have troubled my two uncles to come. My nephew felt really sorry."
Seeing this polite but deliberately keeping distance from his nephew, Xu Huizu felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to come. He was a minister of the East Palace and had always been deliberately alienated from his brother-in-law, King Yan. But he and several nephews
They are also close relatives of flesh and blood, connected by blood.
After going home, study hard! Xu Huizu thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say, so he said, be filial to your mother, well... you are a sensible child, there are some things...
....
Brother! Xu Zengshou said dissatisfiedly on the side, you can't help but show your stinky face when the whole family talks? It's your nephew in front of you, not someone else?
Xu Huizu smiled slightly awkwardly. He was really not good at words, let alone expressing his inner feelings.
Nephew, please remember that as soon as you get home, write a letter to your uncle to report that you are safe! Xu Zengshou looked at the three nephews as if they couldn't get enough. Don't rush on the way, rest when you are tired, don't rush on the road in the wind and rain. After crossing the Yellow River,
It's still cold, so prepare some thick clothes, the wind is no joke!
Especially you, boss. Even though you are chubby, you are most frail. Have you brought any medicine for fevers and headaches? If you are away from home, don’t think that you are young and have to carry yourself when you are sick!
Listening to his ramble, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of intimacy, and there was a bit of sadness in the intimacy.
My uncle's instructions were taken down by my nephew. My nephew is already an adult and I don't dare to bother my parents any more!
What are these words? Xu Zengshou said, how old are you and my nephew, in my eyes you are also a child! As he said that, the old man suddenly had red eyes, look at you three brothers who have been in the capital for so long and haven't even gone home.
It's so lively and lively that your aunt talks about you every day. She told me several times that she asked me to go to the palace and ask you to come and eat dumplings at home, but...
Zhu Gaochi was full of sighs and could only comfort him by saying, uncle, the days ahead are long!
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were also a little sad. Each held his uncle's hand and did not let go for a long time.
Look at me, I’m talking endlessly! Xu Zengshou forced a smile and said, according to your northern custom, you get on the car and get out of the sedan, your uncle has someone prepare it for you, your aunt’s hand bagged it! After saying that, he turned around angrily.
The house slave shouted, "It's my nephew's dumplings!"
After waiting for a while, three bowls of steaming dumplings were served.
While it's hot! Xu Zengshou said with a smile, your aunt gets up before dawn and chops the stuffing, which is made from mutton and green onions.
For some reason, Zhu Gaochi had tears in his eyes. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui cried so hard that they burst into tears. At this moment, the long-standing grievances they had accumulated in their hearts were finally released in front of their closest relatives.
Don't cry, eat while it's hot! Xu Zengshou also touched his face and cried in front of his uncle. He couldn't cry when he got home. He's a man now, so it's okay to feel a little wronged. There is nothing wrong with him in this life.
How can everything go as planned if everything goes smoothly!
The three brothers ate the dumplings with tears in their eyes.
Here, Xu Zengshou directed his servants to move things into the car.
These are all specialties, take them back and try them! Xu Zengshou said with a smile.
Second uncle, I have had enough of these things in the capital these days! Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
You've eaten enough, where are your parents! Xu Zengshou patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder affectionately. Your mother used to love the sweet-scented osmanthus and pine nut candies from Beijing, as well as air-dried chicken, salted duck, and bacon, which you don't have in Peking.
Take it back and give it to your parents to try!
It's getting late! After eating dumplings, Zhu Gaochi saluted and said, "Please come back, uncles. The nephews are also on their way!"
Take care along the way! Xu Hui Zudao.
Xu Zengshou, don’t look too far, and slow down on the road!
Zhu Gaochi and his two brothers were about to get into the car. When they turned around, they suddenly turned around again.
Under the surprised looks of the Xu brothers, Zhu Gaochi pulled the two brothers to kneel down with difficulty.
No way! Xu Huizu exclaimed, although the other person is his nephew, he is also the emperor's grandson. Calling a nephew means he is close, but if the emperor's grandson salutes them, they will never dare to accept it.
In the past year in the capital, my uncles have also felt uncomfortable! Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said, "My nephew, today, I kowtow to my two uncles and thank you for your kindness!"
~~~
The carriage has gone far away, but the Xu brothers still stand and watch.
Seeing that the shadow had disappeared and could no longer be seen, Xu Huizu said, "Second brother, let's go, go back!"
Xu Zengshou hummed, but didn't move. Let me take another look!
After pondering for a moment, Xu Huizu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, I know you are a person who values friendship and family ties. But you and I are ministers first and then elders. As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we cannot distinguish between public and private affairs. If you do this, there is
Times may not be good for them, but...
And you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but I can't bear to let go of my nephew, so I am not loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Xu Zengshou said dissatisfiedly, if you don't get close to your nephew, you can't see me getting close to you? We are their uncles, uncles!
As he said that, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, I know what you mean. You are a minister of the East Palace, and they are the sons of the vassal king. You have your concerns, but I have no official position, so I am afraid."
?They are the only two uncles in this world, you and me. You can be ruthless, but I can’t!
Xu Huizu angrily scolded, "There are some things that you don't know!"
I know, I know it well! Xu Zengshou looked into his brother's eyes, unwilling to be outdone. Sometimes, I really envy the Chang brothers. They will do anything for their nephews. That's what it's like to be an uncle!
Don’t be stubborn! Xu Huizu shouted.
Humph! Xu Zengming sneered, I'm stubborn. I have no power, no power, and no soldiers, so how can I be stubborn? But you, the eldest brother, who is in a high position, are so afraid of being implicated that you don't even care about family ties! After that, no more.
