Tomorrow is Zhu Xiongying's sixth birthday. In the past few years, the Duke's Mansion had not made any noise or made any big arrangements. It was just that the people in the mansion were lively and lively, plus Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Xiongying actually didn't know when he was born, but Zhu Yuanzhang set a date for him, counting it as his birthday, and Zhu Xiongying didn't bother to care about it anymore.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor said when he was born is when he was born!
"Huaiying! Look, I brought you something good!" Xu Jinghan ran over excitedly, holding a bag of things in his hand.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at him lightly: "What?"

"Nu Su Tang!" Xu Jinghan raised the things in his hand in front of Zhu Yuanzhang as if asking for credit.

The nougat that Xu Jinghan mentioned is somewhat similar to modern nougat. The two of them ate it once when they were out of the house last time. Zhu Xiongying casually said something delicious, but Xu Jinghan actually remembered it in his heart.

This nougat candy is only sold by a 70-year-old lady on the street. It has a secret recipe, and no other family can make this taste.

Zhu Xiongying: "..." Brother Xu Jinghan deserves it!

"Tomorrow is your birthday, and I don't have anything to give you, so I ran out early in the morning to buy you nougat..." Xu Jinghan was a little embarrassed as he said that.

Zhu Xiongying patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter what you give, I don't have anything missing, the most important thing is your kindness! I appreciate it!"

"Come on!" Xu Jinghan happily embraced Zhu Xiongying's shoulders and was about to walk in.

Suddenly a group of people came, and several strong men came in with big mahogany boxes.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Jinghan were at a loss when Xu Da came out with his wife.

A man with the appearance of an eunuch stood in front, glanced at Xu Da, and looked at Zhu Xiongying without any trace.

Zhu Xiongying didn't have much impression of this eunuch, but it looked like a "mud-legged man".

"Eunuch Zhu." Xu Da greeted him.

"I have met Wei Guogong." Zhu Lide blessed his body slightly, with a rather polite look.

"Excuse me, Eunuch Zhu. I don't know why Eunuch Zhu is here today?"

Zhu Lide smiled: "Why is the Duke so confused today? I naturally came here following the emperor's order."

Xu Da glanced at the big mahogany box behind Zhu Lide, understood it, and nodded.

Zhu Lide: "The emperor is here today to give gifts to the young master of the Duke's family."

Xu Da clasped his fists: "My minister thanked His Majesty on behalf of my grandson."

Then, the housekeeper began to count the gifts from Zhu Yuanzhang.

"A table with cloud pattern of nanmu, a tall and ancient Buddha table carved in elm, a black lacquer piano in elm, a chair inlaid with beech wood, a phoenix play peony blanket with a camel bottom, and a piece of water orchid brocade, plain yarn Su, Luolong silk, crimson silk, cloud silk, cloud brocade, song brocade, Shu brocade, velvet circle brocade, Kesi, soft smoke Luoqing cicada wing cloud silk..."

Xu Da's face changed when he heard this, this ceremony...

Open another box, which is full.

"Given by Your Majesty, a palace lantern with round sheep's horns and five consecutive pearls, a Changxin palace lantern, an enamel-colored porcelain candlestick, a nine-color phoenix and phoenix lantern, a crane soaring cloud, Ganoderma lucidum panflower candlestick, a jade hook cloud pattern palace lantern, and a magnetically engraved mandarin duck, tripod and phoenix. A tripod of incense burners, a pair of red sandalwood bases and filigree enamel beasts, a gold-lacquered ear furnace with green dragons and eight orifices, a tripod of incense burners, a tripod of cloisonné three-legged elephant trunk incense burners, and a tripod of incense burners inlaid with red stones..."

Xu Da and his wife looked at each other, their eyes changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gift is too generous...

A few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave it away, but I have never seen such a big show.

Zhu Xiongying was in a fog when he heard it, but he felt that he couldn't finish reading these things.

Xu Jinghan's jaw dropped in shock.

It took a full two sticks of incense to read the gift list.

The servant girls in the Duke's mansion could hardly keep their mouths shut.

This is not a gift, it is simply rewarding the entire Duke's mansion.

"My minister thanked His Majesty." Xu Da thanked him calmly.

"Your Majesty will come in person tomorrow, so please thank Your Majesty again." Zhu Lide smiled after speaking.

Xu Da nodded.

"Eunuch Zhu, go slowly."

Seeing off Zhu Lide, Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief.

The duke's wife was full of sadness: "What does your majesty mean?"

Xu Da shook his head: "I don't know, why did you suddenly engage in such a big show today?"

Zhu Xiongying's birthday was actually set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and this date is the same day as Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty...

Xu Da was very shocked when he heard about Zhu Yuanzhang's decision at the time, but seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind, he had no reason to object any more.

It's just that you have been "low-key" in the past few years. Why is it suddenly so high-profile this year?
Zhu Xiongying was confused by Xu Da's ambiguous eyes.

What are you looking at me for?Do I have flowers on my face?
Xu Da shook his head again.

Zhu Xiongying: "..."

The next day, with the first chirping of birds in the morning, the entire Duke's Mansion began to get busy.

Hanging lanterns hanging lanterns, cleaning cleaning, preparing all kinds of meals.

Zhu Xiongying felt that today was New Year's Eve, but it wasn't true.

In previous years, even if it was my own birthday, the Duke's Mansion didn't spend so much time and effort, and made a big fuss, why does it seem like "ready to fight" today.

When the sun was about to set, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived.

"Grandfather!" Zhu Xiongying rushed over.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked him up with some difficulty: "Huaiying has grown stronger and stronger, Grandpa Huang is about to be unable to hold him."

"Then Huaiying won't be hugged by Grandpa Huang anymore?" Zhu Xiongying said "considerately".

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "That can't be done, as long as Grandpa Huang can hug her for a day, Huaiying will be hugged by Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and laughed a few times, which almost melted Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the Duke's mansion to play with Zhu Xiongying again, and the "family" enjoyed themselves happily.

Flying flower orders, drinking orders, crossword puzzles, throwing pots...

Played all kinds of small games and gadgets.

Although Zhu Xiongying couldn't eat cakes and blow out candles like in modern times, this form also made him very happy.

"Yesterday, Grandpa Huang gave Huaiying so many things. Huaiying took it as a courtesy and gave something to Grandpa Huang." Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Huh? Then what is Huaiying going to give to Grandpa Huang?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Bring a pen and ink." Zhu Xiongying said to the servant beside him.

The servant brought the pen and ink, Zhu Xiongying scolded Fang Qiu, and wrote a line of big characters on the paper. The writing was extremely beautiful.

Canglong is still raining at dusk, and old trees bloom more in spring.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, little Huaiying really wins my heart!"

Back in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to hang the words mentioned by Zhu Xiongying in the palace.
