My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 61 Dragon Boat Appearance
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, contrary to his sons' expectations, he did not get angry on the spot, nor did he scold them. He just responded with a few words in a calm manner, as if he wanted to let the matter go.

Judging from the old man's expression, he did not seem to intend to have an outburst on the spot, nor did he mention that the gift sent by Zhu Gaoxu was too extravagant and went against his original intention.

This seems a little counterintuitive.

But after thinking about it, they understood.

Old Zhu still thinks like a patriarch.

As the head of a family, I always remember that family disgrace should not be made public.

Today is Tianshou Holy Day. In addition to our family members, there are also civil and military officials, and even envoys from vassal states and local officials present.

If Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhu Gaoxu on the spot, firstly, he didn't want to lose face, and secondly... he didn't want to completely ruin this grandson.

If he were to have an attack today, it would certainly be recorded in the history books of the future.

Forget it.

I'm getting old.

I will settle this confusing account with this kid after Tianshou Festival.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu meaningfully.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little slow to react at this time, and just felt that something was wrong.

No, he just gave a birthday gift, it would be fine if the emperor didn't praise him, but why do people look at him like this?

It was as if... he was going to die miserably soon!
The most annoying one is Zhu Yunwen. I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. When he saw the boss presenting the birthday gift just now, he looked as if he had eaten a fly. But now when he sees the birthday gift he gave, he smiles instead.

Targeting him?!

Zhu Gaoxu was unhappy.

But now is not the place to lose his temper. No matter how big his opinion is, he can only keep it in his heart.

Got it!
I'll settle the score with them later!

Coincidentally, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang thought the same way.

Because of the Zhu Gaoxu incident, although Zhu suppressed his anger towards this prodigal son, the atmosphere at the scene was still affected a little and became a little weird.

Zhu Gaosui, who was in front, originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to say a few nice words and get some benefits, but when he saw this appearance, he felt lucky not to get into trouble, let alone get any benefits.

After delivering the standard birthday gifts, he slipped into the crowd to reduce his presence.

Now, there is only one person left - Zhu Gaoyu.

Zhu Gaoyu was very satisfied with this.

Strong!
Always the last one to appear!

Everything that happened before was just a prelude, and in the end - it was Zhu Gaoyu who had to come to the finale.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu appeared in front of everyone with his belly protruding and a step that showed he didn't care about his relatives.

Xu Miaoyun sat in her seat, looking at her son's appearance, and couldn't help but smile.

Or maybe it's fun for kids.

How can I not be happy when I have such a little kid?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Gaoyu roared with extraordinary force:

"Grandpa Emperor, Holy An!"

I go!

This shout woke up everyone in the hall who was about to doze off.

Most people were confused, wondering what was wrong with this guy and why he was yelling so loudly.
But Lao Zhu was quite happy.

This kid has a strong voice, and you can tell at a glance that he is a tough kid who can take a beating. This kind of kid is not sickly and is easy to raise!

Zhu Yuanzhang's originally unhappy mood faded a lot, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Your Majesty, be well. Gao Yu, you are shouting so loudly. If you don't prepare birthday gifts later, the Emperor will spank you."

Zhu Gaoyu smiled again in his heart.

Ridiculously funny.

You all look down on me, Zhu Gaoyu, now!

Later, I will show everyone what a real horse, fart, and sperm is!
In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's ridicule, Zhu Gaoyu remained calm and waved to the back calmly.

Xiao Jixiang then took small steps, holding a slightly larger wooden box in his hand, and with an inexplicably uneasy feeling, he lowered his head, looked respectfully, and came to Zhu Gaoyu and handed the wooden box over.

Zhu Gaoyu opened the wooden box and took out his treasure from it mysteriously.

His behavior aroused the curiosity of many people. If it had not been for the fact that it was the Tianshou Festival, they might have even stretched their necks to see the gifts prepared by Zhu Gaoyu at first sight.

It just happened to be a coincidence that the place where Zhu Gaoyu was standing could be easily seen by the Japanese envoy.

When the Japanese envoy saw the wooden boat model that Zhu Gaoyu took out, he almost laughed out loud.

A wooden boat?
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not care about ostentation and preferred simplicity and nature, but on such a critical occasion as the Tianshou Festival, was it a bit too simple to just bring a wooden boat over?

It seems a bit out of place.

But compared to the uncertainty of others, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun seemed much calmer.

Xu Miaoyun simply has a filter for her youngest son.

Zhu Di had a clearer view of Zhu Gaoyu.

When this kid is not in school recently, he goes out early and comes back late every day, hanging out in the Longjiang Baochuan Factory all day. At night, he does not rest early, but instead pulls Sanbao to secretly study something together.

At that time, Zhu Di thought that Ma Sanbao just had a good temper and was tired after a day of work, but when it was almost time to go to bed, he was grabbed by Zhu Gaoyu and forced to work.

But now when he saw the model of the treasure ship, Zhu Di suddenly understood.

Ma Sanbao was not forced to work at all!
It was obvious that he and Zhu Gaoyu had similar interests and they were tinkering with ship models together.

So much energy was spent...If this was just an ordinary wooden boat model, Zhu Di would not believe it even if Zhu Yunwen was beaten to death.

As expected, facing all kinds of looks from all directions, Zhu Gaoyu remained calm. He turned the wooden boat in his hand and something magical happened...

Under the dragon-shaped surface of the wooden boat, the dragon's head, eyes, mouth and claws can all move. When it moves, it looks like a dragon swinging its tail.

But that's not all.

As the dragon boat moved in the hall, more and more people noticed the details above.

It turns out that in addition to the ship itself, there are also a large number of palace buildings inside the dragon boat, and the hollow micro-carving technology is simply breathtaking.

Of course, Zhu Gaoyu was definitely not capable of doing the work of micro-carving.

It's clear that there is a lack of experience.

But listening to Zhu Gaoyu's explanation, it turns out that this dragon boat model, except for the intricate carvings, was almost entirely completed by him.

In this case, there was no need for Zhu Gaoyu to lie.

It is precisely because of this that everyone looks at Zhu Gaoyu differently.

A dragon boat model may not be the most exquisite birthday gift, but if it is carved and designed by a five-year-old child, it is obviously... the best birthday gift.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were burning, as if he could see the Ming navy setting sail through the dragon boat.
