Chapter 243 Critically ill
As time passed day by day, Lao Zhang was busy repairing Zhuangzi, and Li Bao and Ding Fengying were not idle.

Li Bao has already started brewing wine. The fruit needed for the brewed fruit wine is harvested from the surrounding villages, and the grain needed for the grain wine is bought at grain shops.

Li Bao tried to go to the village to collect grain, but no one wanted to sell it.I have to sigh that it is really a village that relies on the capital, and no household has ever lived to the point of exchanging food for money.

Mrs. Ding also started to make soap, and the soap molds were made by Master Zhang every day.

Zhuangzi's work is in full swing, and in the house on Huaiyuan Street, Ji Xiang is following He Wen to learn the rules bit by bit.Having been a beggar for so long before, I have left some bad habits on my body.

Chunxiang also brought Ruyi and Rushuang to learn the rules of being a maid.So for the time being, these people have not been given any work. At first, these people were a little scared. They just eat and don’t work every day, and they have meat for three meals a day.

"In addition to learning the rules, you also need to learn some skills. There will be no useless people around my wife." Chunxiang said the words of instruction with a serious look.

"Yes, sister Chunxiang, but how do we learn skills? What skills do we need to learn?" Ruyi asked.

Chunxiang should be younger than Yi Rushuang, but who let Chunxiang enter the mansion?Another celebrity in front of Madam.Chunxiang's behavior in the past few days has amused Zhao Yunlan.

"We are maids, mainly to help the wife tidy up the housework. You must know how to do needlework. It is best to be able to practice embroidery well. The second thing is to cook. We have to go out from time to time, and we have to learn a little bit about cooking. Yes, the most important thing is to read and write, our wife loves to read and write, and from time to time I have to help my wife sharpen ink and pick up books."

Zhu Hongming didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

Li Mingren took Zhao Yunlan's hand and stroked it, not knowing what to think about.

"Father, you are not old, you just need more rest."

Li Mingren: "Brother Zhou told me to wait. I also thought to wait and see, but you may be delayed on your side, Mrs. Zhang. How long will it take for Lao Zhang and the others to finish the work?"

One rainy evening, Li Mingren hurriedly came back from the outside, and took Zhao Yunlan to the back room.

"Call the imperial physician quickly." Seeing his father coughing non-stop, Zhu Hongming felt anxious, and stepped forward to help Zhu Wensheng with his back.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Yes."

After eating a bowl of soup, the old emperor said: "Hong Ming, your father and I are really old!"

Chunxiang: "Yes, madam."

Zhao Yunlan: "There are still ten days left! Are you afraid that if something happens, you won't be able to start the construction?"

"Yes, father." Zhu Hongming stood up and handed the bowl in his hand to the servant.

The imperial physician was already standing in front of the hall, but he did not step forward.

Li Mingren nodded.

The three girls were having a great time teaching. He Wen over there had a big head. This was the first time that he was a teacher, but he was stumped.The most important thing is that this auspiciousness is so detached that I can finally feel the helplessness of my wife and master's teaching servants.

"Chunxiang, teach them a lesson. While the sun is shining now, let's fumigate them a few more times before drying them in the sun."

Li Dashan: "Then I'll go for a run and see if I can store some around."

"In fact, the emperor has been ill for a long time. Let's go before the imperial examination! Maybe it will take longer. I just kept holding on. I couldn't hold it these few days. I fainted yesterday."

Zhu Hongming hurriedly knelt down, there was still a little soup left in the bowl and he poured it on his clothes and didn't care.

"Father, listen to the doctor's advice and take a good rest for a while!"

"The emperor is critically ill!"

"Go wash and change your clothes!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing Li Mingren's worried expression, Zhao Yunlan asked.

Three days later, in the Taiji Hall of the imperial palace, the emperor was leaning on the head of the bed, and the servant beside him was feeding the emperor soup.

The emperor just pressed Zhu Hongji's hand, and took it easy, "Don't call the doctor, I'm fine!"

Unconsciously, another month passed, and Zhuangzi's side was almost finished. I have to say that Master Zhang and the others were very efficient, and of course they also had help from Li Hua's side.In order to train a decent guard team, Li Hua took seven men to Zhuangzi to help them. The heavy and tiring work was covered by these people, which made Lao Zhang feel embarrassed.

Zhao Yunlan whispered, "Zhou Hanwen told you?"

Zhu Hongming didn't speak, and brought his father a glass of water. Wen Sheng took a sip and continued: "Hey, this is an old problem of mine. Back then, I had to fight to prevent our family from being bullied. It was inevitable to leave some behind when we fought around. Injury. Luckily, it’s still a success, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to be the founding emperor!”

The matter of the restaurant was handed over to Li Mingyi to watch over, while Zhao Yunlan took care of the feather business.The down that Li Dashan and the others transported from their home to the capital had been put on hold for a long time, and they hadn't had time to deal with it because of the mess in the village, so they had just let it dry in a dry and ventilated place.Now that Zhuangzili can live normally, what needs to be operated must also be operated.

"Ah? This needlework can be learned. I used to sew clothes by myself at home, and cooking is also possible. It's just that learning characters is more difficult than climbing to heaven."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Son, you are the first child of my father. You also know the past situation of our family and the life of the next person. I am not reconciled to your father, so I have been unwilling to let go of the throne."

Li Mingren: "The prince is also helping to supervise some things, and I don't know the specific situation. The emperor's heart is unpredictable!"

Li Mingren sighed, not knowing whether it was rain or sweat on his face.

Zhu Hongming was a little anxious: "Father, don't be brave."

Chunxiang felt a little proud, "Learning characters is a bit difficult for you, but the requirements are not too high for you. Now learn the rules well, and we will do everything."

"Well, then I'll see if I can let Lao Zhang and the others catch up with work. If there is no other way, just wait! Take off those red silks at home first!"

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the weather seems to be less hot before you know it.

Zhao Yunlan thought about it, then turned to look at Li Dashan and said, "Well, it's just that the duck down is still missing."

Zhu Hongming said: "Father, you have done a good job. The common people have lived a good life. Everyone is no longer displaced, selling their sons and daughters."

Ruyi Rushuang: "Yes, Miss Chunxiang."

After all, he let the imperial doctor come to check the pulse, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he dismissed everyone, leaving only the prince by his side.

Zhu Wensheng didn't speak, he just drank the soup fed by his son, not knowing what he was thinking.

Prince Zhu Hongming stood in front of the bed and took the bowl from the waiter.

Zhu Wensheng looked at his kneeling son with loving eyes, "Get up, I didn't say anything! We chatted for a while, father and son."

Zhu Wensheng smiled: "It's been a long time since I heard you call daddy."

Zhu Wensheng: "This is just the side we see, and there are many things we can't see. Or maybe they only show us the side."

The shop is quite big, with six fronts in a row on the first floor. Zhao Yunlan plans to separate two fronts on the side, one for selling her own soap and one for down products.The restaurant part is basically arranged according to the restaurant on the Fucheng side.

The servant has already hurried to find the imperial physician, but the imperial physician has been waiting in the outer room.

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, no wonder it took so long not to be elected as an official, except for those with backgrounds, there are a large number of jinshi stranded in this capital.The head of a country has fallen, and no one is standing up, so the operation is slow?
"Hey, why not let the prince supervise the country?" Zhao Yunlan asked suspiciously, isn't it usually the emperor who is dying and the prince is allowed to supervise the country?

After waking up for half an hour, the emperor felt hungry, but according to the imperial doctor's order, he could not eat directly at this moment, he had to take it step by step.

"What?" Zhao Yunlan asked in shock.

"It's another narrow escape, your father and I are so lucky! Haha~ cough cough cough cough cough."

Li Mingren nodded.

Lao Zhang is very handy now, and having cooperated with Zhao Yunlan so many times, he can completely understand the other party's thinking.

The finishing work on Zhuangzi's side was left to Li Hua and others, and Master Zhang took his apprentices to the shop.

"Father trusts you very much, and has always been, so from the day I ascended the throne, I regarded you as my successor. You did not disappoint Father. You have been diligent and devoted to your duties for so many years, but Father The emperor is in a good position, and he always wants to do his best in this position, but God waits for no one, and now it's time for you to do something for the people."

Zhu Hongming knelt down again, and just as he was about to speak, Zhu Wensheng pulled him up, "I don't want to listen to you anymore, I want to see your mother, go and bring your mother over!"

Zhu Hongming saluted: "Father, yes, I'm going to pick up my mother right now."

After the prince left, the imperial physicians came to the front of the hall again and took care of him at any time.
