My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 78 Zhu Gui's "Apology"

As the concubine of Prince Dai, Xu Hui had never even been to Nanjing, let alone seen Zhu Yuanzhang's personal jade pendant.

When she saw the trembling look on the King's face, she was still a little unresponsive:
"It's just a jade pendant of a vassal king..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Gui interrupted her with a red face:
"Shut up!"

Xu Hui was dumbfounded.

After a long silence, she hesitated and wanted to speak, but she saw Zhu Gui, who was standing beside her, had already smiled at his nephew Zhu Gaoyu and said:

"Gao Yu, please open your eyes and take a look. I am your dearest dearest dearest... your dear Thirteenth Uncle! How can we be so formal with each other as uncle and nephew? This jade pendant is too valuable... you should take it back..."

Zhu Gaoyu, however, looked disappointed, with his eyelids drooping:
"Uncle Thirteen, I took a carriage for a month and a half to come to Datong. It was exhausting, but not long after I arrived here, I was bullied on the street. Tell me... is it reasonable for me to punch someone a few times to protect myself?"

Zhu Gui looked at the jade pendant, and cold sweat was about to drip down his forehead:

"Reasonable and reasonable."

Zhu Gaoyu continued to complain:

"It is said that visitors are guests, not to mention that I am Uncle Thirteen's nephew. Why was I not welcomed but beaten? Uncle Thirteen, do you also think I am wronged?"

Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Gui's mouth twitched slightly.

What does it mean to be severely beaten?

Putting aside other things, just looking at Zhu Gaoyu's fair and tender face, you can tell that this guy was not injured at all.

Thinking back to when Xu Yuan came to visit just now, he could hardly speak and his face was covered in bruises, Zhu Gui couldn't help but twitch.

But when he saw the jade pendant in Zhu Gaoyu's hand, he forced a smile:

"Yes, yes, it's Uncle Thirteen's fault. Just wait, Uncle Thirteen will teach you a lesson when he gets back."

After saying that, Zhu Gui's expression suddenly changed. He turned around and slapped Xu Hui in the face with his backhand, saying coldly:

"Bitch! Get out of here!"

Xu Hui was stunned.

Since entering the mansion, Zhu Gui has been quite satisfied with her beautiful face and young body. Besides being satisfied, he did not hesitate to say some nice words and give some gifts to appease her.

Normally, Xu Hui relied on this favor to act unconventionally. Seeing that she did not cause any big trouble, Zhu Gui just let her do as she pleased.

But Xu Hui didn't expect that it was Zhu Gaoyu who beat her brother, but she was slapped in the face for the first time just because she filed a complaint.

The maids around lowered their heads and said nothing.

But Xu Hui had a feeling that everyone was laughing at her.

She was both shocked and angry, and even blamed her own brother and Zhu Gui.

If her brother had not been unable to use her, how could she be just a concubine?

If she could give birth to a prince of the royal palace, how could Zhu Gui lose face so easily?
When Zhu Gaoyu saw this scene, he finally smiled.

Just when Zhu Gui felt relieved, thinking that the matter would be over, and was waiting to coax the child casually in the next few days so that the old man would not know about it, he heard Zhu Gaoyu speak again:
"Uncle Thirteen, you are not kind. You have to apologize and make amends. Don't you think of giving me anything?"

Zhu Gui thought that he was no longer a thing of value.

After all, what Zhu Gui usually does is bullying men and women, forcibly abducting women, occupying land, and cheating people's shops.

When it comes to shamelessness, Zhu Gui dares to claim to be the first and no one dares to claim to be second.

But in front of this kid Zhu Gaoyu...it still seems a little not good enough.

Could it be that this is what it means when the new generation pushes the old generation forward?
Zhu Gui felt aggrieved.

But there is no way!

When he saw the jade pendant, he felt as if he saw the old man.

My legs can't stop shaking!

Zhu Guiqiang smiled and said, "Nephew, tell me, what do you want?"

"Ten thousand acres of fertile land isn't much, but a few dozen shops are okay, just give it as you see fit!"

What is this nonsense!

The corner of Zhu Gui's mouth twitched violently.

Having said that, I certainly can’t give that much with my thousands of acres of fertile land, but if I want to give less... it’s obviously impossible too.

only……

Zhu Gui's eyes turned and another evil idea came up:
"Gao Yu, Uncle Thirteen has a garden here in Datong. You will definitely like it after seeing it..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Gaoyu interrupted him. The boy laughed as if he had nothing to say:

"Hey, Uncle Thirteen, you should talk to my dad about this. I'm just a child, I don't know anything!"

When Zhu Gui heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He subconsciously looked up and saw Zhu Di walking in with big strides. When he saw him, he actually showed a "joyful" smile, which was unusual for him.

Zhu Gui’s legs are now...really weak!
……

In the backyard of the Dai Wang Mansion.

In the past, the most lively place in the backyard was probably the yard where Xu Hui lived.

But the courtyard wall of the Prince Dai’s Palace is like a sieve.

During dinner, what happened in the Cunxin Hall was spread everywhere in just one night. Zhu Gaoyu did not think of asking about it.

After all, even if he is a child, it is not good for him to interfere too much in women's affairs.

On the other hand, Xiao Xu felt a little scared after hearing the news.

At breakfast time.

Zhu Di took the monk Daoyan out early to discuss the method of building the city wall.

Zhu Gui has never liked his first wife, and he lost face yesterday, so he simply decided not to go anywhere and stayed alone quietly.

In comparison, it is Xiao Xu who feels most comfortable here.

At the dinner table, Zhu Gaoyu was holding a big meat bun in his hand, spitting all over his mouth, looking like he was pointing fingers at the country:

"When I took out the jade pendant that Grandpa Emperor gave me, Uncle Thirteen slapped that woman in the face! Aunt, guess what he called that woman?"

When Xiao Xu saw Zhu Gaoyu's energetic appearance, her soft eyes and brows were filled with smiles.

As she looked at Zhu Gaoyu, she secretly hoped that her child would one day be as smart and healthy as Zhu Gaoyu.

Maybe you don't have to be too smart, you just need to be healthy all your life, this is the biggest wish of being a mother.

In response to Zhu Gaoyu's words, Xiao Xu pretended to ponder for a while. Because of her upbringing as a girl from the Xu family, she was still a little euphemistic in her words:
"But calling him by his first name?"

Zhu Gaoyu shook his head in a mysterious manner, and waited until everyone's appetite was whetted before he spoke:
"Uncle Thirteen called her a bitch!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she smiled at first, but she didn't know what she was thinking about and frowned again.

Disliking Xu Hui is one thing, but Zhu Gui, who could do such a thing, is obviously not a good person either.

This was evident from the girl who was abducted by Zhu Guiqiang from the backyard.

Zhu Gaoyu looked at his aunt and began to fall into deep thought again. He blinked his eyes, then lowered his head and started drinking porridge.

He drank the porridge very quickly, along the edge of the bowl, making a "slurping" sound while swallowing the porridge into his mouth at a very fast speed.

Zhu Gaoyu learned this quick way of drinking porridge without burning his mouth from his father.

Although his mother always dislikes the loudness of the voice...

A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind. After Zhu Gaoyu finished drinking the porridge, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, jumped off the stool, turned around and wanted to run away.

Seeing this, Xiao Xu quickly spoke up:

"Slow down! Slow down! Don't rush to run after eating! Be careful or you'll get upset in your stomach again!"

My aunt also means well.

Zhu Gaoyu looks like a devil to the outside world, but he is a man who responds to soft tactics and not to hard ones.

Facing his gentle aunt, even though he was curious about the farm that his father had asked for him yesterday, he still slowed down his pace.

Halfway through the walk, Zhu Gaoyu suddenly remembered something and turned back, waved at his aunt, and smiled:
"Aunt, I'm leaving!"

When Mrs. Xu saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then a big smile broke out on her face.

She raised her hand somewhat awkwardly, and imitated Zhu Gaoyu, waving it vigorously. There was unexpectedly a hint of liveliness in her eyes and brows.

……

"Exit the East City Gate and walk along the official road... No, why is this official road full of potholes? Even if it's not... uh, it shouldn't be like this, right? At least it's not like this in Beiping City."

On the spur of the moment, Zhu Gaoyu almost blurted out the word "cement" that came to his mind.

Xiao Jixiang in the front didn't know how to drive, so he had been serving by the side. However, the craftsmen brought by Kuai Fu from the south played a huge role at this moment.

These craftsmen were originally from the Longjiang Baochuan Factory, and most of the work they did on a daily basis was physical labor.

Although the status of a craftsman was not very high, those who could stay in the Longjiang Treasure Ship Factory all had some skills. In addition, since they worked for the royal family, they could always have three meals a day.

Look, this group of people, each of them is big and strong, and they are serious, and from the surface they look very intimidating.

When it comes to bluffing, the most powerful one among them is Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao had been to the grassland before, and his hands were stained with blood.

When he followed Da Ma, his aura stood out like a crane among chickens, causing the refugees who huddled around him to couldn't help but secretly glance at him several times.

After watching it, they subconsciously moved away from Ma Sanbao.

This old man doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with!
It was for this reason that Ma Sanbao was sent by Zhu Di to follow Zhu Gaoyu and maintain order.

Dad doesn’t have time to play with his son, so let Ma Sanbao take care of the child.

As for what kind of situation the Zhuangzi will be in the end...

To be honest, Zhu Di never expected it at all.

What else can a little kid do?
Let’s make some noise!
Anyway, he has a lot of money on him, so he might as well just give it away.

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, the general outline of a farm not far from the outskirts of the city gradually took shape.

As soon as Zhu Gaoyu saw the well-planned farm and the vast space, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Otherwise, it’s up to dad to step in!

It’s really reliable!
