My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 35 Cousin!

Since grandpa has said this, Zhu Gaoyu can say whatever he wants.

He bit off a piece of cucumber and began to speak slowly:
"You like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I don't."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the half-bitten cucumber and tapped Zhu Gaoyu's head gently:
"Those are the words of saints. Even if you don't like them, you have to read them. Reading does not necessarily mean you have to learn a lot, nor does it necessarily require you to become a saint. How many people like Zhu Xi have there been throughout history..."

Zhu Gaoyu held his chin for a long while. When he heard Old Zhu's nagging gradually fade away, he spoke:
"Grandpa, what are we having for lunch?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very skeptical whether this kid had listened to what he had just said.

But thinking about what happened yesterday...

Old Zhu still endured it.

"What do you want to eat?"

"pork."

A murderous aura suddenly emerged in the air!
Zhu Gaoyu suddenly felt something was wrong and jumped up, trying to escape.

But the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up this guy and slapped him on the buttocks several times.

This kid!
It’s really infuriating!
Although Lao Zhu doesn't have any big opinion on pork, most people would be more or less cautious in front of him and call pork "彘肉".

But Zhu Gaoyu had been jumping around in Zhu's minefield for a long time. He talked about the vegetable garden, said he didn't want to study, and finally talked about pork in front of him.

If he is not given a meal of fried bamboo shoots with pork, this guy will go crazy, right?
You know, even when facing Zhu Biao, Zhu was not so indulgent!
The eunuch next to him was not standing inside the so-called "Imperial Vegetable Garden", but he could still hear everything going on inside clearly.

The first thought that came to his mind was that His Majesty had not been so happy for a long time.

But soon, the eunuch had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Your Majesty, are you being a little too intimate with the fourth son of Prince Yan?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he received an order from Zhu Yuanzhang.

For today’s lunch, let’s add a dish of braised pork.

It's made of pork.

The eunuch was startled, but immediately adjusted his facial expression and retreated with his head lowered.

……

at this time.

In the imperial vegetable garden.

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the last bite of cucumber and glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, "Are you satisfied now?"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled playfully, "When have I ever been dissatisfied? Grandpa is worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. A spit is as good as a nail!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and laughed:
"You don't need to try to fool us. We all know that you are picking beans and eating pork, and you are not happy about it."

Zhu Gaoyu wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him.

"Gao Yu, Grandpa knows everything about this matter. But..."

Zhu Gaoyu blinked his eyes:
"But understanding is one thing, but what to do is another, right, Grandpa?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that this guy could see things so clearly. For a while, he didn't react.

After a long while, he touched Zhu Gaoyu's head and said, "You are not stupid."

Zhu Gaoyu was delighted and immediately climbed up the pole:

"Grandpa, not only am I not stupid, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are all very smart people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy:
"What do you want to do, kid?"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled brightly:
"Grandpa, I remember you have a painting called "The Great Ming Unification Map"..."

So that's what you were thinking about!
Zhu Yuanzhang refused without a second thought:

"Impossible! This is the only map we have."

Zhu Gaoyu blinked his eyes and said, "Grandpa, I didn't ask for the original one, so just have someone embroider an identical one for me." "If this thing is kept in the home of a minister, his family will be confiscated and he will be beheaded, but who made my grandfather the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Except for some things that shouldn't exist, everything else in this world...whether I can get it or not is just a matter of Grandpa's words!"

The little mouth smacked, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile slightly when listening to the flattery.

"Hey... I'm not here to listen to your nice words."

"But this map cannot be embroidered in a short time. You have to wait for a while..."

Zhu Gaoyu immediately ran over and grabbed Old Zhu's arm:
"Hurray! Grandpa, you are truly the best grandpa I have ever seen!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he pulled the boy's cheek, with a fake smile on his face:

"How many more grandfathers do you want?"

Just at this time, the lunch was served.

Zhu Gaoyu rubbed his cheeks:
"Okay, okay, Grandpa, don't interfere in children's affairs. Come, eat the braised pork! This pork is so delicious!"

Old Zhu's expression became somewhat dark again.

This damn kid.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
It's just to irritate people on purpose!
……

in the afternoon.

As soon as the torture of mathematics class ended, a large group of princes and grandchildren came out of Wenhua Hall, their steps a little unsteady.

When he turned around, he saw Zhu Gaoyu still discussing mathematics with Yang Zhong. Zhu Youyu couldn't stand it and snorted:
"Pretending."

Zhu Youdun tugged at his sleeve, somewhat helplessly:

"Why are you picking on a kid?"

Zhu Youjie never liked his brother who was the crown prince.

They are all legitimate sons. Why can he become the crown prince just because this waste who only knows how to listen to music was born first? In the future, when his father dies, he will be transformed into a local vassal king.

And what about him?
At best he would be a prince in the future.

The resentment in Zhu Youjie's heart continued to accumulate over time, and even now he spoke with anger:

"Child? This kid will turn into a monkey if he gets covered with hair. Have you ever seen a child who can do math at this age? Have you ever seen a child who can attract the emperor's attention?"

When Zhu Youqie said this, the sourness in his tone could no longer be concealed.

You have to know that in front of the Emperor, he was ignored most of the time. Only when he was occasionally remembered would he be singled out and scolded.

Under the comparison between the two, it would be strange if Zhu Youjie didn't feel unbalanced!
……

the other side.

As soon as Zhu Gaoyu came out, he saw Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng beside him.

Huang Zicheng had obviously learned his lesson. Even though he was afraid of Zhu Gaoyu and others, he did not act rashly at this time.

As for Zhu Yunwen...the perceptions of his cousins ​​are obviously more complicated.

He didn't like his uncles, and as a result, he didn't like his cousins ​​either.

But every time he saw these cousins ​​getting along with each other, he felt empty inside.

If... he had brothers to help him, wouldn't he be so caught up in the struggle like he is now?

Just as he was thinking about it, a tall man with delicate features and a dignified look was walking towards him with big strides in the martial arts field not far away.

Zhu Yunwen's somewhat lonely look suddenly disappeared, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"cousin!"
