My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 68 Fairy, Return My Grandfather to Me (First Order)

About seven days have passed since the last "clothes delivery" incident, the eldest and the second oldest seem to have been in a state of inexplicable confrontation.

Every time Zhu Gaosui saw this confrontational situation, he always felt a little nervous. As a fence-sitter, he didn't know which side he should lean towards.

As for Zhu Gaoyu, he felt a little guilty.

At this time, he had already reacted a little.

It seems... he said something wrong when he delivered the message.

But then again, Zhu Gaoyu felt that he had expressed his general meaning very clearly.

But why do the words given out give people such a different feeling?

Zhu Gaoyu sat down on the doorstep, frowned, and fell into deep thought...

At this moment, the old man came out from nowhere, picked him up, and said:
"Put yourself in order. Your grandfather wants you to come to the palace."

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe it:
"Only me?"

When Zhu Di talked about this, he also felt a little resentful.

What does this mean, old man?

Just call Zhu Gaoyu and don't call him.

This differential treatment... is really obvious enough.

Feeling unhappy, Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Gaoyu's ear and said in a threatening tone:

"Once you enter the palace, you better behave yourself and don't cause any trouble. Otherwise... when we get home, I'll spank you!"

Zhu Gaoyu chuckled, being extremely bold.

"You're just jealous of me. I understand. No need to explain."

Zhu Di's face turned dark.

This unfortunate kid...really deserves a beating.

……

The imperial vegetable garden in the palace seemed to have grown much bigger and greener after not being seen for some time.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was here, he seemed more approachable.

If it weren't for his imposing aura, Zhu Gaoyu might even have mistaken him for an ordinary old farmer from a distance.

When Old Zhu saw his grandson Zhu Gaoyu, he straightened up, wiped the sweat from his head, and smiled:
"Do you know how to pull weeds? Come and help grandpa."

weed?

Isn't it just pulling out the weeds?
It doesn't sound difficult.

Although Zhu Gaoyu did not have much experience, he still responded confidently:

"coming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

He said that just to tease this guy, but he didn't expect... this guy would actually do it?

A relieved smile soon appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

It’s good to pull out weeds.

Agriculture is the foundation of the world and there is no greater task than this.

In Lao Zhu's eyes, only by experiencing things personally can one gain a deep understanding of them.

Just like Zhu Gaoyu knew how to pull weeds, he was able to understand the difficulties of farmers in the process, and then have compassion for the common people, and be able to put himself in their shoes and think for them.

Zhu Yuanzhang became much happier because of Zhu Gaoyu's actions, and his heart, which had been troubled by the trivial matters in Japan for some days, became calm and clear at this moment.

So Zhu Yuanzhang turned around with a smile, looked at Zhu Gaoyu, and wanted to speak.

But when he saw everything clearly, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly froze.

He gritted his teeth and watched in great pain as his own seedling was treated like a weed. With just a slight grab by Zhu Gaoyu, it was uprooted and lay half-dead on the side.

In an instant, countless efforts were wasted.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that everything before his eyes was just an illusion.

But this illusion was too real, making him feel like fainting.

Zhu Gaoyu raised his head and found that the emperor's face was a little pale, and his heart skipped a beat.

What will happen if the emperor doesn't know how to work?
It's hard to say.

After all, the emperor is old, and he is often busy with paperwork on weekdays. Even if he has free time during his rest time, he works in the vegetable garden...

The more Zhu Gaoyu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't even wipe his hands and directly supported the emperor's body:

"Grandpa! Do you want to call the doctor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at his grandson. In silence, he slowly nodded, and then he spoke slowly, with some profound meaning:
"We should call the imperial physician over, but... Gao Yu, please come to the emperor first. The emperor has something to say to you..."

Zhu Gaoyu didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes were slightly red and his expression was a little sad.

He walked quickly to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt himself being lifted up.

Immediately afterwards, a strong force came from the buttocks.

"Snapped!"

This is much more cruel than my father's.

Zhu Gaoyu let out a loud roar.

"Grandpa Emperor, you have no moral principles! How can you do this secretly? I'm just a child, why do you do this to me?"

Still asking why?
Old Zhu felt angry and amused at the same time, and decided to teach this shameless guy a profound lesson.

These are the seedlings he had just planted, and they had just recovered from their wilted state!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him again.

Zhu Gaoyu wailed as he was beaten:
"Grandpa Emperor, I will never be number one in the world with you again!"

"Grandpa Huang, are you my real grandpa?"

"Fairy! Please return my kind and amiable grandpa to me..."

After hearing the first two sentences, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to stop.

But when he heard the word "monster", Zhu Yuanzhang felt...well, he still had to fight.

After being spanked and feeling burning, Zhu Gaoyu rubbed his buttocks and grimaced.

Although he was crying and shouting, when he stood up, he didn't shed a single tear.

There's only thunder but no rain.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to beat him again.

He glanced at the boy and suddenly remembered what the fourth brother had mentioned in the letter.

At that time, the fourth child wrote a bunch of words in his mind to scold his youngest son.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bit unconvinced.

No matter how naughty the child is, what can we do?
Even the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen, when facing his grandfather the Emperor, was in awe, fear and respect. How could he be as unscrupulous as Zhu Gaoyu?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly didn't want to curse anymore.

Actually... it's nice to have a grandchild like this. But one is enough, more would be too noisy.

Even Old Zhu was a little overwhelmed when facing a naughty kid like Zhu Gaoyu.

Look...he is now bending over again and beginning to plant the seedlings diligently again.

Zhu Gaoyu sat aside, gulping down water. When he was full, he supported his cheek with his hand and watched the emperor work.

As for himself... because he was always impatient and held back, he had been ordered by Old Zhu to stay where he was and not to move.

However, even when Zhu Gaoyu was sitting, he was still muttering to himself.

"Grandpa Huang, let me tell you something."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was leading the oxen brought by the eunuch beside him, and slowly plowing the one-third acre of land.

Hearing Zhu Gaoyu's words, he asked casually without even frowning:
"what's up?"

"It's a family matter. My eldest brother and second brother had a quarrel. Their relationship has not improved recently. Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen... Although the second brother was excessive, my eldest brother has a good temper. Of course, I don't mean to force my eldest brother to forgive... I just wonder why my eldest brother is angrier than I thought this time..."

As expected, he is a child and his speech is also jumpy.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the hoe in his hand, and his intuition made him ask a question:
"Did you do anything in it?"

Zhu Gaoyu opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief:
"I'm just a messenger, what could happen?"

The message...

Based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of him, the problem was probably with this guy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaoyu with an inexplicable look of pity, and spoke gently:
"When you go back, remember to bring some topical medicine back."

This saves you from getting beaten up when you get back and having to find a doctor and buy medicine.

Zhu Gaoyu was somewhat moved when he heard this:

"Goblin, have you returned my grandfather to me again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: ...You damn child! Why don't you go to heaven?
……

In the Prince of Yan's Palace in Yingtian.

Zhu Di sat at the head of the table with his horse and sword in hand, looking at the rather silent and tense atmosphere below, he finally couldn't help but frowned:
"What's going on with you guys these past two days? You all look so sad, if you don't know, you might think you're..."

When Zhu Di said this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi below did not change their expressions at all. Instead, Zhu Gaosui, who was sitting between them and played the role of "the boundary between Chu and Han", looked around and spoke quietly:
"Big brother..."

Zhu Gaochi was still counting rice grains at this time, and said only one sentence:
"Have a meal."

Zhu Gaosui moved to the other side and said with a flattering smile:
"Second brother..."

Zhu Gaoxu put the bowl down with a bang:
"Have a meal!"

It's already autumn, and the autumn heat has gone, why am I still so angry...

When Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaoxu smashing dishes and chopsticks, although he liked his second son, he did not indulge him at all:

"If you don't want to eat, get out!"

"Your mother has noticed that you brothers have not had a good appetite these days, and she has been trying to find ways to prepare food for you. Who are you showing off to by making such a sullen face?"

After that, the atmosphere was silent.

Zhu Di suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and was instantly stunned.

The usually unruly Prince Gaoyang now had red eyes. He did not shed a tear when he was on horseback and pierced by an arrow. But at this moment, tears as big as beans fell from his eyes one by one like pearls. When they hit his clothes, the water stains spread out and turned into dark tear marks.

Zhu Gaoxu was really wronged.

His eldest brother treated him that way, his mother treated him that way, and his father also said this to him.

Apart from his younger brother being a little nice to him, he felt isolated and helpless in this family!
He cried so hard that he could hardly catch his breath:
"You all look down on me, so I'm leaving! Yes, I, Zhu Gaoxu, am indeed not a good person. I only like to wield swords and guns. Grandfather Emperor thinks I am extravagant and high-profile, uncle says I am a gangster, father, you think I am looking for trouble, mother thinks I am not respectful to my brothers..."

"Next year, I will get married, and you will all drive me away. I will be alone for the rest of my life! No one will care about me anyway! I deserve it!"

“Woo woo woo woo… I made the dog clothes with my own hands, and there are still needle holes on my hands. If you don’t like it, then don’t like it. Why are you mocking me in a sarcastic way? Although… but… it may be a little ugly… but this is also my intention!”

Zhu Gaochi was completely confused and finally couldn't help but speak:
"When did I mock you? I just said I was unworthy and you're crying like that?"

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that his face turned red.

Even at this point, the boss is still unwilling to tell the truth!

There was still some sobbing in his voice:
"You're talking nonsense! You were obviously being sarcastic, saying that you can't afford my apology."

Zhu Gaochi was anxious: "When did I say that?"

Although the general meaning of these two sentences is similar, it is obvious that the one spoken by Zhu Gaoxu is more offensive.

Seeing that the boss did not admit it, Zhu Gaoxu also became angry:
"I told you this myself, how could it be wrong?!"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

No one knew what they were thinking...

Zhu Gaosui vaguely grasped something and spoke tentatively:
"Brother, what did I say when I was delivering the message for my second brother?"

At this time, the boss also thought of a possibility, and his face became a little strange. Then, he thought hard for a moment and spoke:
"Old Four said, that dog's clothes... do you want them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu almost jumped up:

"Bullshit! I clearly said if you like it, take it...if you don't like it, take it back. After all, I worked so hard to make it. It would be a shame to throw it away!"

Everyone stared at each other.

Even Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di, who were sitting in the first seats, put down their chopsticks at some point and looked at the scene in front of them.

After Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi stared at each other for a long time, they finally shouted in unison with murderous intent:
"Zhu, Gao, 煩!"

……

Zhu Gaoyu had just got off the carriage and stepped half a foot into the Prince of Yan's Mansion. For some reason, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on his back. He felt so cold that even his hair stood up.

He looked around warily.

There is murderous intent!
However, a gust of wind passed by.

Apart from rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground, there seemed to be no other unusual movement.

Zhu Gaoyu slowly put his heart at ease and continued to move forward.

When he arrived in the yard, he touched his stomach and seemed to be able to faintly smell the fragrance of food. As a result, Zhu Gaoyu's steps became faster.

When they arrived at the dining hall, Zhu Gaoyu spoke happily:
"I'm back! What's for dinner today?"

As soon as they heard Zhu Gaoyu's voice, the people at the dinner table turned around and looked at Zhu Gaoyu with smiles on their faces.

For some reason, Zhu Gaoyu's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

He couldn't help but soften his voice a little:

"What are we going to eat tonight?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled gently:
"Stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, do you like it, little brother?"

If his father said stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, Zhu Gaoyu would definitely run away.

But if the person who said this was his eldest brother, Zhu Gaoyu would not be afraid.

My elder brother loves me so much, why would he really spank him?

I guess it’s really fried bamboo shoots with meat!
