My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 67: Message (First Order Request!)
Zhu Gaoyu was pretending to speak like an adult. If it were any other time, Zhu Gaoxu would have started laughing at him.

But at the moment, after hearing what Zhu Gaoyu said, he didn't know what to say.

Is he...really wrong?

He...is it really true that he doesn't understand things as well as a kid like Zhu Gaoyu?

Xu Miaoyun glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who seemed to be deeply confused, sighed, but said nothing more.

When she saw the torn brocade robe on Zhu Gaoxu's back and the mottled marks of whipping, she finally stopped.

If the fight continues, I'll have to lie down for at least ten days or half a month.

Today is the birthday festival and it just ended. If people heard that Prince Gaoyang was beaten and was recuperating in bed, it would not sound good.

Zhu Gaoyu followed my mother, looking back every step, until she was completely far away and entered the house. Zhu Gaoyu could still see Zhu Gaoxu kneeling in the yard through the window.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, Xu Miaoyun was unexpectedly cold at this time. She actually just sat in the room, not caring whether Zhu Gaoxu was still kneeling under the sun.

……

The sun is strong in the afternoon.

When people kneel on the hot bluestone tiles, they always feel that their knees will be burned and blisters will appear.

By the time it was time for dinner, Zhu Gaoyu was twisting his body from side to side as if he had a sore on his butt. Even when he was chewing on the pork elbow, he couldn't sit still.

Xu Miaoyun was very patient.

She sat comfortably in her seat, eating the crucian carp in small bites. She would spit out the fish bones with a slight sip, and she didn't need anyone to help her at all.

Finally, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but speak:

"Mother... my second brother is still kneeling outside and hasn't eaten yet..."

Xu Miaoyun seemed to have already discussed that Zhu Gaoyu would say such a thing. She did not even frown, but just said calmly:
"Have a meal."

"Oh……"

I am still a little unhappy.

He was so indifferent to his youngest son...

Zhu Gaoyu took another bite of the pork elbow, turned his head quietly, hesitated for a moment, looked up carefully at Xu Miaoyun, and then put several pieces of steamed pork with rice flour and a big chicken leg into the bowl.

Well... they are all based on the taste of Zhu Gaoyu, a carnivore.

However, Zhu Gaoyu thought his actions were very covert, as Xu Miaoyun, who was sitting next to him, had seen them clearly.

She knew what the boy was going to do, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she let him do it.

In order to make Zhu Gaoyu's plan succeed, Xu Miaoyun even lay down on the soft couch after dinner and took a nap with her eyes half closed.

So at this time, Zhu Gaoyu acted like a thief, quietly holding a bowl and a teapot under his arm, and walked towards Zhu Gaoxu who was kneeling outside the house with a lot of bags.

The water in the teapot was warm. Zhu Gaoyu thought of how much Zhu Gaoxu sweated while basking in the sun, and he suddenly had an idea and added a little salt.

When he came in front of Zhu Gaoxu, he took out the things in his arms one by one as if he was taking out some treasure.

Steamed pork with rice flour, chicken legs, glutinous rice balls, two slightly sour apricots, and boiled water with a little salt.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this, he felt as if something hit his heart suddenly. His heart in his chest felt like it was being gripped by a big hand, and it felt sour and astringent, an indescribable feeling.

But there was one thing he was sure of, this feeling... was not bad.

Zhu Gaoyu kept his head down the whole time, and when he put down the bowl and chopsticks, he did so very gently, for fear that his mother in the room would hear any noise.

After doing all this, Zhu Gaoyu said cautiously:
"Second brother, eat quickly. If mom comes out later, we'll be in trouble. If you're not full, tell me and I'll go to the kitchen and steal something to feed you. Don't worry, I'm good at making money and no one can stop me..."

Zhu Gaoxu found what he heard funny and wanted to smile, but his facial expression seemed a little stiff.

He took a bite of the chicken leg, which was already a little cold.

But for some reason, Zhu Gaoxu felt that this was the most delicious chicken leg he had ever eaten.

But as he was eating, he suddenly felt his vision blurry and could not see the details of the chicken leg in front of him.

He wiped his eyes and a trace of water appeared on the back of his hand.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the water marks, dazed and absent-minded.

He... is he crying?
……

After feeding his second brother, Zhu Gaoyu began to clean up the dishes and quietly put them in the small kitchen, then tiptoed back to the house.

But when I returned to the house, Xu Miaoyun, who was supposed to be taking a nap, had opened her eyes and looked outside at some point.

Zhu Gaoyu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Mother!

If people scare others, it can be fatal!
But soon, Zhu Gaoyu reacted and showed a simple and shy smile:

"Mom, I remembered that I haven't finished my homework today. I'm going to do my homework first."

As soon as he took a step, Xu Miaoyun grabbed the back of his collar and snorted:
"Why don't you usually study so hard? Today you seem to be thinking about doing your homework."

When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he became excited and started to speak confidently:
"I'm so smart. If I work harder, wouldn't that just undermine other people's self-confidence? But I thought, Mom is unhappy today. If I do more homework, maybe she will be happy."

After saying this, Zhu Gaoyu held his chest and said in a pretentious manner:

"Mom, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything!"

Ha ha.

Little liar.

It’s just…it’s possible to deceive a little girl with sweet words.

Even Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but soften her expression when she heard these nice words.

It's good words, who wouldn't like to hear them?

Especially such sincere flattery.

Thinking about this, Xu Miaoyun rubbed Zhu Gaoyu's head and said softly:
"If you want to give it to the second brother, then eat it. I won't interfere in the affairs between you brothers. Especially your second brother and eldest brother, they are already so grown up. In a few years, they will have children. This kind of thing is not something that I, as a mother, should get involved in."

"I called you so that you can try on your underwear."

Zhu Gaoyu opened his eyes wide and praised him in a particularly respectful way:
"Wow, mother, your needlework skills are truly unrivaled. I can already imagine the scene of me falling asleep as soon as I lay down in my underwear at night..."

While Xu Miaoyun laughed, she couldn't help but start reminiscing.

When Zhu Di and her first got married, was he... also so smooth-talking?
It doesn’t seem so, right?

So...whose personality does this kid resemble?
Could it be that the Zhu family is really a rare flower that is untainted by the mud?

……

a few days later.

Inside Zhu Gaoxu's house.

"Old Four, do you really think this is okay?"

In the room, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the cloth in his hand and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

What kind of a stupid idea is this?

Make clothes for dogs?
Why!
joke!

As the Prince of Gaoyang, would he make clothes for a bald Pekingese dog?
next moment.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up a thread, frowned, and pecked the thread, waiting for it to become moist. Then he aimed it at the source of light, and then picked up the needle in his hand, aimed the thread at the eye of the formation, and gathered strength - a stab!
The piercing is crooked.

Zhu Gaoxu cursed filthy words and then fell directly onto the bed:

"No! I can't do this! A good man should have ambitions in the world. How can he stay in bed and do some needlework?"

Zhu Gaoyu leaned aside and spoke coldly:
"A good man in the world would not be so childish as to cut the hair of a puppy."

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, then his cheeks flushed, and he spoke in anger and embarrassment:
"Let's not talk about this, we are still good brothers!"

Zhu Gaoyu looked hurt:

"I have served you food, poured water for you, shielded you from the wind and rain, so aren't we good brothers?"

Is it really that exaggerated... Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and thought that no matter how he thought about it, the fourth brother only delivered a meal once...

Although he was really moved to tears when he was delivered the meal, he almost swallowed the rice with his tears.

But...can this be said?
If this were to be said out loud, Lao Si would probably float up into the sky, with even his tail sticking up.

We must not let this kid get too proud of himself or even climb over his head to show off his power.

But this dress...

Thinking of the boss's face that day and his eyes full of disappointment, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at the needle and thread at hand and gritted his teeth:

"Isn't it just needle and thread? Since I can hold a long knife, I can naturally hold a needle and thread!"

Zhu Gaoyu was eating the cakes on the table with great relish.

You know what, even though the second child is under house arrest, the pastries in the house are really delicious.

Oh, it’s better to grow up.

Now that you have grown up, you can eat as much cake as you want without having to worry about me limiting the amount.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoyu rarely felt a deep hope of growing up.

……

The days flow slowly.

As time passed, Yingtian gradually entered deep autumn.

The clothes on Zhu Gaoyu's body also gradually became thicker.

This kid took advantage of the fact that winter was coming and he had more clothes on, so he started eating and drinking as much as he could again.

He also had a particularly logical reason - to gain weight in autumn.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu had just been released from house arrest and walked out of the house slowly.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little excited after not leaving the courtyard for a long time and suddenly came into contact with the outside world. When he heard Zhu Gaoyu say something about "putting on weight in autumn", he almost didn't think twice and replied:
"Putting on weight in autumn? Isn't that what animals do?"

then……

Zhu Gaoxu was once again confined to his house for being a "beast"...

fifteen days.

Fifteen whole days!

is the day.

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door with a solemn expression on his face, and handed a piece of cloth that looked a bit strange to Zhu Gaoyu.

Zhu Gaoyu looked at the thing in his hand. It was a large red background with small floral patterns, and two golden pockets sewn on it with crooked stitches.

He couldn't help but remain silent.

After a long while, Zhu Gaoyu raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a complicated look:
"Brother, is this the fabric you chose?"

Zhu Gaoxu grinned, seeming a little proud, "How about it, my craftsmanship is still pretty good, right? I know that nothing is difficult in the world..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoyu added:
“As long as you are willing to give up!”

"state!"

An iron fist hit Zhu Gaoyu directly on the forehead.

It seems to be very loud, but this punch, just like Zhu Gaoxu's, is just a bluff and is just for show. It doesn't hurt at all.

Zhu Gaoyu touched his head and didn't pay attention to it for a while. Instead, he frowned and looked at the thing with great disdain:

"Pale purple, light yellow, stone blue, which one is not more beautiful than this bright red floral one? What do you think?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became unhappy.

He spent more than half a month on this dog clothes, and it can be said to be carefully designed.

Just like this... the fourth brother still looks extremely disgusted?

Zhu Gaoxu had a cold face, and his tone and manner became somewhat stiff:

"Just give it to him. If you like it... take it. If you don't like it, take it back."

Zhu Gaoyu thought, anyway, this thing won't fit on him, so it doesn't matter if it's a little ugly.

I just don’t know if Big Brother and Little Curly will dislike it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu grabbed the flowery clothes and ran happily to find the boss.

……

"Did the second brother give this to you?"

In the courtyard, Zhu Gaochi frowned, looking at the cloth with several holes in it. For a moment, he didn't know what to say...

When Zhu Gaoyu heard what his elder brother said, he nodded:

"Yeah! Second brother said, this thing, do you want it or not?"

After saying this, Zhu Gaoyu touched the back of his head, feeling a little guilty.

He has forgotten what the original words were.

But the meaning should be roughly the same.

Zhu Gaochi's face changed immediately after hearing this.

However, considering that the person standing in front of him was Zhu Gaoyu, he suppressed his temper and spoke normally:

"Then you can take it back. This thing is good, but I am not worthy of it."

Zhu Gaoyu nodded.

Understand.

If it were him, he wouldn't like this thing either.

Who would you embarrass if you were so ugly?
However, if the eldest brother said this directly, it would definitely make the second brother unhappy.

So Zhu Gaoyu had to make some corrections.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu immediately rushed back.

But on the way back, Zhu Gaoyu rubbed his sore calves, thinking with a smile - does this count as losing weight?

A moment.

In front of Zhu Gaoxu's house.

When the gift Zhu Gaoxu had carefully prepared was returned intact, his face turned green.

Just thinking about the younger brother in front of him, who had "given him a meal", Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his anger:

"What did the boss say?"

Zhu Gaoyu tried hard to recall it and said seriously:
"Big brother said that he doesn't dare to take what you made."

boom!
At this moment, Zhu Gaoyu even had an illusion that he saw a volcano erupting.

Zhu Gaoxu pulled back the dog clothes he had made. Thinking of the pain of the needle pricking his fingers while making them, he felt wronged and angry, and even had an urge to burst into tears.

Why? !

Why treat him like this!

Doesn't Zhu Gaoxu have a temper? !
Woo woo woo... This is the little piece of clothing he sewed stitch by stitch.

Dogs don't wear them!
He wears it!
