After hearing Zhu San's unreasonable request, Zhu Hao was secretly happy... The more requests you make, the more likely you are to bring your brother here.
"Three cents a piece? Do you think you can find rabbits by chance every time? I have been in the palace during this period. It is not that easy to find rabbits outside the city."
Zhu Hao looked embarrassed at first, but when he saw Zhu San's face full of disappointment, he added, "But I can think of a way later. Why don't you come back tomorrow? I'll prepare the iced sour plum soup and revolving lanterns first."
Zhu Sanxi smiled broadly: "It's a deal."
After a simple discussion, although it is not certain whether she will find an opportunity to come out in the future, at least a normal communication channel has been established.
Soon Zhu San said goodbye and muttered: "I can only sneak out at noon when my husband is not around. It would be terrible if someone discovers me."
Zhu Hao deliberately said: "Why don't you bring your brother over tomorrow..."
"That's not certain. He has been under strict supervision recently. A Bing and I were not allowed to play with him several times." Zhu San did not hide anything and told the Xing Palace's attention to Zhu Houcong.
Perhaps realizing that Crown Prince Xing was being closely watched by the court, especially the royal family, the palace consciously strengthened the security of Zhu Houcong.
"If he doesn't come, there will be a lot of fun things I can't give you, so whatever..."
Zhu Hao deliberately did not explain the situation clearly, but Zhu San actually became interested. She really wanted to know what good thing it was that her brother had to come.
…
…
Zhu San is eight years old, Zhu Hao is seven years old, and Lu Bing is four years old.
Where did a group of children get the fuss and grudges from them?
Novel and fun things are more important than anything else!
At noon the next day, Zhu Hao prepared everything, but when the sun set in the west, Zhu Sancai arrived late. This time he did not bring Lu Bing with him, and the follower behind him became his younger brother Zhu Houcong.
"You two brothers are really here?"
Zhu Hao's eyes widened, showing surprise.
Zhu Houcong, who looked frightened, ran in quickly, turned around, and pointed at the door to Zhu San, who was slowly walking over.
Zhu San scolded angrily: "No one is following me. How scared are you? In the past, it was fine to go out and play. This place still belongs to the realm of the palace. What are you afraid of?"
Zhu Houcong looked dejected: "Third brother, I usually don't have a chance to sneak out. This time I asked Xiao Luzi to pretend that I was sleeping under the covers, so I got what I wanted... Ah, by the way, Zhu Hao
, didn’t you say you want to catch a rabbit? Where is the rabbit?”
When the little guy arrived, he was most concerned about the rabbit.
Zhu San said first: "There is no rabbit. He said he would find a way to get it later, but he didn't say he would have one today."
"ah!?"
Zhu Houcong instantly felt like he had been deceived.
Zhu San looked proud, as if teasing his younger brother was a fun thing to do.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "You guys are here just in time. I just made a bowl of ice cream. Do you want to try it?"
"What is ice cream?"
The siblings looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
"You'll find out when you go in."
…
…
Zhu Hao walked in front and took the two siblings into the room. On the Eight Immortals table in the middle was Zhu Hao's ice cream made by using saltpeter to make ice.
No one knows how to make butter in this day and age.
Zhu Hao used a mixture of egg whites, salt, vinegar, and sugar, stirred vigorously to beat the cream, added it to crushed ice, and then added some sugar and juice to create an ice cream unique in this era.
Although the taste of this stuff is not as delicious as the ice cream produced in factories in later generations, as long as it is sweet and cold enough, it is a great tool to relieve summer heat and quench thirst.
For the Zhu siblings, this is probably a delicacy that no food in the world can compare with.
"tasty!"
Zhu Si didn't feel any defensiveness. He rushed forward, picked up the bowl, and tasted it with a spoon. His eyes lit up, and he started eating it with big mouthfuls.
Zhu San originally wanted to issue a warning.
Her father once said that she should not eat food from outside casually. As a sister, she must take on the responsibility of supervising him. However, seeing that her brother was already eating, it seemed like she would be at a disadvantage if she did not eat. She quickly went over and used another spoon to eat.
The crushed ice cream in the bowl was shoveled into his mouth.
Soon, the ice cream made by Zhu Hao was shared by the siblings.
"Any more?"
Zhu San and Zhu Si had butter crumbs stuck to the corners of their mouths, and they looked at Zhu Hao with eager eyes like resentful women.
Looking at the empty porcelain bowl, Zhu Hao frowned: "You two are too rude, aren't you? I made it, but I only took one bite. I wanted to ask you to come in and have a try. How about you guys eat them all?"
Zhu San wiped his mouth with the corner of his sleeve and said, "What's the matter? Things are made for people to eat... eh."
Having said this, I hiccupped.
"Third brother, it's really inappropriate for us to do this... Why don't we give him something, is this fair?" Zhu Si cares about face and doesn't want to take advantage of others.
Zhu San scolded: "Are you stupid? He lives in the palace now, eats ours, wears ours, uses ours, and makes us a bowl of ice cream... What's wrong? Hey, Zhu Hao, hurry up and make some more.
We haven’t had enough yet.”
Zhu Hao was unhappy: "You think it's that easy? What can you do without ice? It's hard for a clever wife to make a meal without rice..."
"Really..."
Zhu San looks like a greedy cat at first glance, and he is much more eager to eat than his younger brother.
At this time, Zhu Si focused on the revolving lanterns. He didn't come yesterday, but he just heard from his sister about the exquisite revolving lanterns. Today, Zhu Hao brought new revolving lanterns. Four revolving lanterns were hung in the air with exquisite patterns.
, so ingenious that he could see it without even blinking.
Zhu Hao couldn't help but smile, stepped forward to light the candle in the revolving lantern, and then flipped the outer shell.
Zhu Si rushed forward excitedly, admiring it with wide eyes.
Zhu Sandao: "Zhu Hao, didn't we agree that if I bring him here, you will show us the good things?"
Zhu Hao glanced at her: "You have eaten up all my ice cream. Isn't that a good thing? Zhu Si, don't touch my revolving lantern. If you are not careful, the silk shell will be ignited if the candle tips over."
"oh."
The two siblings had their own thoughts, one was concentrating on watching the revolving door, while the other was staring at the ice cream bowl, licking his lips from time to time, obviously not eating enough.
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside, and the two siblings looked nervous and prepared to find a place to hide.
"It's okay, someone should be here to get something...I'll go out and deal with it." Zhu Hao motioned to Zhu San and Zhu Si to hide for a while, then he got up and opened the door.
However, several carpenters started working and went into the yard to get saws, saws and other tools. When they saw Zhu Hao, they waved their hands disapprovingly and motioned for him to step aside, as if they were a warehouse manager. Of course, this manager had no knowledge of tools and raw materials.
Jurisdiction, but if such a craftsman wants to find tools, he will still ask Zhu Hao to help.
The craftsmen who came this time were all very familiar, and the leaders were none other than Jian Maolu and Lao Song.
Zhu Hao rolled his eyes, glanced around, and approached Lao Song and said, "Uncle Song, several cans of tung oil stacked in the warehouse leaked, and there was a big pool on the ground. What should I do if it hits a spark?"
But this was meant for Jian Mao Dao.
"Did it leak? I'll go take a look... It's really..." Old Song is a real person. Even Zhu Hao, a child who is highly vigilant in the palace, can talk to him. He deliberately entered the warehouse and took a look, and found that just as Zhu Hao said
Word.
Jianmao Dao sneered: "You didn't have lamp oil at night, so you dug a hole to steal it, right?"
Zhu Hao said disdainfully: "I have a lot of candles here, who wants to use tung oil?"
Lao Song knelt down and observed carefully, and said: "The bite marks are obvious, they should be gnawed by mice... The wooden jar itself is not reliable and can be easily damaged. It should be moved later. Most of the materials stored here are wood. If it is touched,
Doesn’t Mars light up at one o’clock?”
"Let's talk about it when we have time! Get to work!"
Jianmao Dao carried the wooden ladder and walked out without paying any attention.
The woodworking technology of the Old Song Dynasty was far better than that of Jianmao Dao, but Jianmao Dao had a higher status among craftsmen and belonged to "administrators".
Since Jian Maoluo said he would solve the problem later, Lao Song could only look at Zhu Hao with an apologetic look, and then led the people away.
…
…
"Does anyone come here often?"
After everyone was gone, Zhu Hao returned to the room, and Zhu San looked out with some fear.
When she thought about it, if anyone knew that she brought her younger brother to play with Zhu Hao, it would be a serious crime and she might be grounded by her father and mother.
Zhu Hao said: "What do you think? This is a warehouse. Who knows what those craftsmen are short of and when they will suddenly arrive? Even if it is the middle of the night and disturbs my sleep, there is nothing you can do... When you come later, just stay
If you don’t leave the room, they won’t come in and look.”
"That's true, who cares about a little brat?"
Zhu San didn't take Zhu Hao seriously at first glance.
The princess has a temper, and her eyes are higher than her head!
"Fourth, it's time for us to leave. We can't be out for too long, otherwise it won't be good if someone finds out." Zhu San saw that the ice cream was finished, and Zhu Hao couldn't bring out anything better, so he wanted to drag his brother away.
Zhu Si quit: "You just came here not long ago, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
When Zhu San heard this, he was about to go over and pinch Zhu Si's ears, and said angrily: "If your father finds out that you are out, will you have a good life? Zhu Hao, if it's possible... next time we come, you can make some ice cream."
“It’s hard to do it if you don’t have capital.”
Zhu Hao showed his philistine side.
Zhu San pursed his lips and said: "I know you are a little stingy... Well, I will ask A Bing to send you dozens of pennies later, but I don't have any more... Old Fourth, do you have any money there?"
Zhu Si shook his head seriously.
Obviously, the palace never let Zhu Si come into contact with the smell of copper, and Zhu San often sneaked out of the palace. He only knew how to save money because he knew how good money was.
Zhu Si is not as shrewd as his sister.
"A few dozen yuan should be enough, let's go!"
Zhu Hao could see that Zhu San consciously avoided Zhu Houcong from having too much contact with him... Maybe her sister realized that she had "bad intentions". Zhu San reminded him not to enter the palace before, and it was also because the people in the palace were discussing how to deal with Zhu.
Hao, she overheard the conversation and sent Lu Bing to remind him.
Knowing that the palace was on guard against Zhu Hao, how could she not have any thoughts at all? Children will understand a lot more things when they are one year older.
Zhu Hao was in no hurry to implement his plan immediately.
It is already an incredible achievement to have Zhu San and Zhu Si come together. The next step is to find a way to get Zhu Si to come alone...
…
…
Outside the city, the Zhu family manor.
Lin Baihu visited late at night.
Lin Baihu said unceremoniously in front of Zhu Jia: "I have inquired clearly and confirmed that your grandson has not entered the inner courtyard of Prince Xing's Mansion. He is now placed in the utility room at the east gate of the Prince's Mansion. There are probably more
Soon they will be kicked out. If the Zhu family wants to spy on the palace’s intelligence, they should find another way.”
Zhu Jia's expression was calm and composed, "It's impossible. My grandson has found out a lot of secret things. If he hadn't entered the inner courtyard of Prince Xing's Mansion, he wouldn't have been able to obtain so much information."
Lin Baihu said: "Then I have to ask your grandson how he learned about it. I have found out that someone in the palace wants to do something wrong to him. If you don't pick him up in time, he may disappear out of thin air...
It’s unknown. You can’t see people alive, you can’t see people dead, and you can’t see corpses. How miserable!”
