Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu didn't drink tonight, but he already felt a little drunk.Indulging in this gentle village, he has forgotten countless hidden worries, fears and helplessness. He only feels that the night is too short and he doesn't want to wake up.

... Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to go to the front hall the next day. Anyway, he is a vassal in Yunnan, so he doesn't need to do any serious business, and he won't have any problems.

But he got up in the end, and before going out, he was still a little bit reluctant to leave, and glanced at Yao Ji, whose hair was disheveled and tired, who was lying sideways on the bed.

As usual, Zhu Gaoxu ran with the soldiers first, and then went to Wenlou to watch the warriors study.In the morning, he would also read the residence newspaper sent by the third division, and then chat and laugh with the generals for a while.

Before he became a prince, he had never held a high position or held any power, and he had no experience in this area at all.However, in his previous shallow historical knowledge, he believed in a truth: if you stay away from the crowd for too long, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to control the situation.

From a distance, the reason for the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty is that the specific affairs have been controlled by powerful officials for a long time; Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was a wise emperor with talents in literature and martial arts. All the affairs are handed over to others, and it’s also messed up... The recent story of An Nanguo, whether it is the Chen family replacing the Li family, or the Hu family replacing the Chen family, is all about the king leaving the middle and low levels of civil and military affairs, and power | power | result.

Therefore, even though Zhu Gaoxu was a feudal lord who could let go of his hands and enjoy himself, he hadn't fought for the time being, and he still often hang out with soldiers.

Most of the guards are rough|rough men, many of them say "Cao" and shut up with "You|Mother". All kinds of organs and female relatives are inseparable from their mouths. Ugly man.Zhu Gaoxu played with them for a long time, of course it was not as interesting as staying with the beauties.

However, he didn't think it was time to remove his armor yet!

When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the study, the rough laughter of the warriors, the sound of iron clashing, and the explosion of training firearms still echoed in his mind.He sat down in a chair in a daze.

The eunuch Wang Gui brought tea and put it on the table covered with red silk, then retreated to the door knowingly, and stood there without making a sound.Zhu Gaoxu sat there neither talking nor doing anything, he was in a daze for a while, trying to calm down his impetuous mood a little.

A person spends a period of time quietly alone every day, and is able to think and examine his goals and gains and losses better.

This is what Zhu Gaoxu learned in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't understand this before, and he gambled with his head and seldom thought about it...

In the Ming Dynasty, he knew that each yamen had a second hall besides the office lobby; the state treasury built such a room for each yamen, which had no other purpose but to give officials a place to think, so that place was called : Retreat to the hall of thought.

Zhu Gaoxu's grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang, hoped that after the officials did their work every day, they could quietly recall whether they had done something wrong or whether their conscience ached or not.

After sitting for a while, Zhu Gaoxu felt bored.He got up and picked up the Yanling knife on the knife holder, pulled it out, then let out a sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief and wiped it.He found another piece of butter and spread it on it to prevent rust.

But it is useless to do these things. If a general fights in person, how many knives can be broken in one battle. No matter how expensive the sword is, it is useless.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu put down the Yanling knife, walked to his pair of fine iron cold-forged armor, and wiped the armor there.Because this armor was made by cold forging, it has a rough shape. It followed Zhu Gaoxu from the "Battle of Jingnan". It has experienced no less than a hundred battles, and it has been repaired and repaired so far. It is really strong and resistant to various weapons.

At this moment, he accidentally saw the eunuch Wang Gui at the door, and Wang Gui looked at him in awe.

The movements of Zhu Gaoxu's hands paused slightly, only then did he realize that fiddling with weapons is inherently murderous... But he just wanted to be quiet and bored, so he just found some simple things to do.

(I’m ashamed, I don’t know why I always encountered some broken things recently, and it’s been updated every few days. But the normal update will definitely resume the day after tomorrow at the latest, sorry for the book friends.)

Chapter 292 It's Rarely Confused

Zhu Gaoxu loves to eat sea fish, and it is impossible to have fresh sea fish in Yunnan.But he still ate it at Du Qianrui's place, braised with salted fish.

Of course, dried fish can't compare with fresh fish, and even frozen fish can't compare.Although the dried salted fish is wrapped in a layer of sea salt and dried in the sun, it still has a faint smell.Du Qianrui put onion, ginger, garlic, and fermented soybeans. The subtle smell of fermented soybeans combined with the smell of dried fish made it delicious.Zhu Gaoxu had to admire Du Qianrui's thoughtfulness in cooking.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to go to Yao Ji's place tonight, but he had such a good time last night that he couldn't even get enough of it... Later, he didn't want to neglect Du Qianrui, so he gave up.However, he found that it was good to come to Du Qianrui's place tonight, at least the dinner was delicious.

Du Qianrui asked him if it was delicious, and Zhu Gaoxu said it was good casually.

"Really?" Du Qianrui asked again.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's stomach was already full, so he put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "The vegetable soup and stir-fried fresh meat have less seasoning, but it just highlights the unique fragrance of fresh vegetables. The dried salted fish has a strong taste, so I put it down." Heavy ingredients are added, which makes the taste of the seasoning blend with the dried fish, which increases the appetite. The most rare thing is that Qianrui remembers my preferences..."

After he finished speaking, he said with some emotion: "The dishes cooked with care will taste different."

Zhu Gaoxu spoke clearly and logically after some serious words, amused Du Qianrui, she laughed and coquettishly said: "I thought the prince was tired of my cooking."

"Where do you start with this?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Du Qianrui said: "Last night, my lord was supposed to come here, so my concubine prepared a meal and waited; I don't want my lord to go to sister Yao Ji's. You can go wherever you like, but my concubine's I was really disappointed for a while, thinking that the prince was tired of this taste and disliked it."

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, "I told you yesterday afternoon that I'm going to Yao Ji's place."

Du Qianrui said "oh", lowered her head and murmured: "Perhaps the prince forgot to say something to the concubine."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly noticed a detail: yesterday, did he really say that he was going to Yao Ji?

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that Wang Gui dared to open his eyes and tell nonsense in front of him.

He was silent for a while, and recalled it carefully, and then he gradually got some impression... At that time, he was busy, Wang Gui asked, probably whether the prince would go to Yao Ji's place tonight; Zhu Gaoxu agreed casually.

At this moment, Du Qianrui said softly again: "I thought that the prince and my concubine have known each other for a long time, and he would probably say hello to this kind of thing, lest I will wait in vain, alas!"

Du Qianrui was right, among Zhu Gaoxu's wives and concubines, Wang Gui first met Du Qianrui.Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu, Wang Gui, and Du Qianrui were all together on the way from Beijing Fuleyuan to fleeing to Peiping; Du Qianrui also said before that the eunuch Wang Gui in the county prince's mansion took good care of her.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard these shitty things, they were all intrigues that he couldn't explain clearly, and it was troublesome to think about it.He was also a little disturbed.

Du Qianrui carefully looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face, and said softly: "My lord, this concubine shouldn't have said these things, is it causing trouble to my lord?"

"It's okay." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said again, "I don't blame you."

He pondered for a moment, and thought: Du Qianrui's means of pleasing people is indeed slightly inferior, and the depth of his mind is not as good as that of Yao Ji.

She secretly attacked Yao Ji, but if the male master doesn't know how to discern, he will hate her instead... People are all about profit, and Zhu Gaoxu is comfortable with Yao Ji, so of course he tends to have a better impression of Yao Ji .

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't do that. Instead, he felt more relaxed with Du Qianrui.After all, if Du Qianrui had something unpleasant, he directly revealed it.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a while, he was thinking: Why did Wang Gui speak for Yao Ji yesterday?

Wang Gui, an eunuch, because he is helping Zhu Gaoxu with his business most of the time, he rarely walks around in the harem, and has little contact with Yao Ji... But Wang Gui seems to have bought a house in Kunming City at the end of last year, and raised a few maids ; Could it be that he was short of money and took bribes from Yao Ji?

Zhu Gaoxu knew about Wang Gui's affairs... because of Dianzhan Hou Hai, this civil servant loves to inquire about other people's private affairs.

Du Qianrui's voice said again: "My concubine heard people say that last night at sister Yao Ji's side, there was the sound of silk and bamboo at a very late hour, and she even sang a ditty. Does she sing well?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to make more trouble, so he didn't say that Yao Ji might not be as accomplished as Du Qianrui.He said casually: "It's very nice. Anyway, I don't know anything about rhythm, so I can't figure out why."

Du Qianrui chuckled and said, "My lord doesn't know skills, but he knows how to appreciate."

Zhu Gaoxu held back the unhappiness in his heart first, and said with a smile: "Qianrui praised me so much, I'm afraid I'll take it for the truth, and make me laugh out loud in the future. I remembered a text... The article is called "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi and accepts advice". "

Du Qianrui said again: "I really think so, I don't want to please the prince."

The matter of the two women is not clear at all.Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to bring up the topic again tonight, but luckily Du Qianrui didn't bring it up either.She called the maids to come in and clear the table, and then she went to make two cups of green tea herself.

Seeing Du Qianrui lowering his head and playing with the ceramic teacup, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Is this porcelain from Jingdezhen?"

"My lord has good eyesight." Du Qianrui was slightly surprised.She has been with Zhu Gaoxu for a long time, and she may know that Zhu Gaoxu is not very particular about many things.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Jingdezhen's porcelain is the most famous...Jiangxi's."

After a while, he asked gently again: "Is Qianrui homesick?"
