Chapter 288 You don’t have so much face, do you? (1)
Zhu Gaochi stood on tiptoes, stretched his neck, and looked straight at Zhu Yunxi's leaving figure.
It's a pity that his neck is too short, no matter how much he stretches it, it is as thick as one side of his head.
"Pooh!"
When he finally lost sight of Zhu Yunxi's back, Zhu Gaochi spat secretly and cursed in his heart, "What is that? Is that your uncle, an outsider? Damn you, you are so powerful in front of others,
Who are you with? They are all from the Zhu family, who doesn’t know who? What kind of fate are you talking about? You were just lucky enough to be reincarnated into..."
Cursing in his heart, he turned around inadvertently, only to see King Zhou Zhu was still kneeling and sobbing.
He sighed again in his heart, "Oh, in fact, Ji Zi is humane! If I were the emperor, I would have taken action against these uncles long ago. How can I still keep them today? Each of them first cut off all their authority with a soft knife, and then followed
Roll it into a round shape and flatten it like dough."
He took a few steps forward and helped Zhu Zhu up, "Fifth Uncle, please take it easy, take it easy!"
"I...!" There was no outsider here, Zhu Zhu's eyes were filled with tears, feeling indescribably pitiful.
Zhu Gaochi's heart softened again, "Sit down, sit down slowly, and drink tea smoothly!"
"I'm so sorry!" Zhu Tie suddenly wailed.
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand for a moment, "What was it at the beginning?"
"I didn't listen to you, my eldest nephew!" Zhu Zhu stamped his feet. "If I had listened to you earlier, how could I be where I am today? Over there in the Liaodong War, if I had listened to you earlier..."
"Drink tea, drink tea!" Zhu Gaochi was so excited that he almost shoved the tea cup into Zhu Xi's mouth, and whispered quickly, "Why do you mention him about old things? I have forgotten it a long time ago, and you should forget it too.
." He said, snorted, "Fifth uncle, if you really listen to me, my nephew will say one more thing. Don't care whether others know about those old accounts, you'd better hide them in your heart! Otherwise...
Don’t forget that you are still in someone else’s hands! If you make someone unhappy, they will dig out old accounts for you, and you won’t have anywhere to cry!”
After the words fell, Zhu Xi's tears disappeared immediately. He put down the hand wiping his eyes, his eyes were red, and then he sat silently.
"How can there be a good person? How can there be a good person in the Zhu family!" Zhu Gaochi began to curse secretly in his heart, "You just came to the capital from Fengyang, you just met the emperor, and you just had a slight turn of events, and you started to set a trap for me?"
"You didn't mention that bad thing in the past, and you didn't mention it till later, and you didn't mention it until I met Xizi. Are you afraid that I will forget it? Or are you using your words to threaten me?"
"Besides, why are you making such a fuss? Do you really think that I, like the royal family, are being stabbed? Now that you're done yelling, you'll be happy. You've broken the pot, but I still have to live!"
"Damn it, it used to be your palace, but now it's my palace. If I don't give it to you, I won't give it to you. I'll kill you!"
Zhu Rui sat for a long time, then turned around and said in a low voice, "Well... the emperor didn't say how to punish me just now? Am I just going to stay here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi's personal eunuch ran in from outside without paying attention.
"Master, there's a message from the palace!" He nodded and bowed obstinately, like a pug sweating on a hot day.
"Say!" Zhu Gaochi glanced at him.
"Let you!" Goubuli said, "accompany the Fifth Prince to the palace!"
Zhu Ju was stunned, "Is there a palace in the capital? Isn't my father the most disgusted with building palaces?"
Zhu Gaochi's little eyes widened, and he pursed his lips and chattered silently.
If someone can read lips, it will definitely not be a good thing.
"I will accompany you to the palace? No wonder you said before you left that your uncle and nephew were reunited, so why would you wait here for me? He went to the palace to meet the old man, so why should I go? Oh, with the old man's temper, I'll see you later.
His son has been wronged and has no place to vent his anger, why should I give him another kick?"
"You have the guts, why don't you accompany your fifth uncle to the palace? He is also your fifth uncle! You ordered him to be trapped!"
Zhu Gaochi cursed loudly in his heart, but he also knew that he could only vent his frustration by silently cursing. It would not help if he could not change the facts.
So he sighed, "Fifth Uncle, do you want to freshen up and change clothes? My nephew will take you to see the old man right now!"
"No, no, no!" Zhu Ru stood up and said hurriedly, "I have missed my father all the time these days!" As he said this, tears came down again, "I'm sorry for my father, my mother, and all the ancestors of the Zhu family.
..Woooo…”
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Ji, who was wearing gray cotton uniforms with white cuffs. He curled his lips secretly, but still wanted to remind him and said solemnly, "Fifth uncle, my nephew thinks you should change your clothes before going!"
As he spoke, he touched the other party's sleeve and said, "You act like someone has wronged you!"
Then, he smiled again and said, "Of course, it's up to you whether to change it or not. But what the emperor said before he left... you probably haven't forgotten it, right?"
"Ouch, look at me!" Zhu Xi slapped his forehead, "As soon as I heard that I was going to see my father, I was so happy that I forgot about everything. Thanks to my eldest nephew for reminding me, my clothes are indeed too shabby!"
Zhu Gaochi smiled, but there was something dark in his heart.
"The Zhu family doesn't have a damn fuel-efficient lamp!"
~~
In the Villa of the Palace, the old man had just come out of the fields. He threw off his muddy cloth shoes and sat on a wicker chair, letting himself wash his feet.
"You can take a knife and trim my toenails later!" The old man picked up the snack on the table next to him and ate half of it in one gulp. He chewed on it and said, "Damn it, I've been doing this all my life.
It just grows into the flesh! I just took two steps and it hurt!"
"It's not difficult to take out your nails. But you have to apply medicine after they are taken out. You can't walk in the ground with water all day long!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile, "You have to take good care of it for a few days, otherwise the pain will be even worse!
"
"Can the farmers take a break? Can they take a break?" The old man glared, "This little injury is nothing. Isn't it just a toenail? It can't get wet. When we fought, a piece of meat as big as a bowl fell off.
Now, aren’t you still lively and vigorous?”
Pu Bucheng smiled, did not differentiate with the old man, wiped the old man's feet clean, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, the fifth master is back! The letter you just sent is coming this way!"
"Yeah!" The old man was about to take another piece of snack, when he stretched out his hand and his smiling face turned serious.
"Look..." Pu Bucheng asked tentatively, "Are you adding food to the kitchen? Are you adding wine?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Let the kitchen braise the noodles and make noodles. We remember that he likes to eat eggplant meat braised in a wide sauce...right?"
"You have such a good memory. Mr. Wu has loved eating this since he was a child!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile, "In the early years, when the empress was here, he would stay by the pot as soon as the noodles were cooked, waiting for them to be eaten right out of the pot.
The hot pick!”
"Ha!" The old man smiled, with a much softer expression on his face, "As for the wine... forget it!"
"Hey!" Pu Bucheng agreed.
He knew what the old man had said, but there was no need to prepare it. Not only did he not need to prepare Zhu Ju's wine, but he also didn't need to prepare his own wine.
It's not that the old man doesn't want to have a few drinks with his son, but that the old man is afraid that his son will take advantage of the wine...
That would not be good for anyone!
"Did he come by himself?" the old man asked again.
"It's the uncle of the fourth master's family, please come with me!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
"Oh!" The old man nodded, then paused, "The house he lives in now used to belong to Lao Wu?"
Pu Bucheng thought about it seriously, "I really don't know about this. You also know that I usually don't inquire about the affairs of the outer court!"
