Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 14 Old Zhu and Empress Ma Go Shopping
Wu Wangfu.

"I took a nap and dreamed of your ancestors of the Zhu family, saying that your Zhu family had nothing to do with Zhu Xi. This false foundation made the world laugh at me.

Your Zhu family has your Zhu family’s ancestors, and their Zhu family has their Zhu family’s descendants. The poem by Zhu Xi, the great-grandfather said in a dream that this poem has nothing to do with us.

If it wasn't related, if it wasn't about the love written in that poem, then you, Zhu Chongba, would have become the wild left by Zhu Xi when he searched for flowers and asked Liu..."

"That's too ugly to say, what do we call... species."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, glanced at Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma, and felt a headache with his eyes closed.

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Ma, and the two of them changed their eyes and smiled lightly: "It's a good day, after dinner, the superior should go out for a walk to relieve boredom."

"Yes, Chongba, before you ascend the throne and the people don't know you, let's go out for a walk and feel the life of the people in the city today."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he waved to Ma Shi and said, "Good idea, we just like chatting with the common people."

The two laughed and ate and changed their clothes.

Mrs. Ma was very happy, Chong Ba, a stubborn donkey, liked to listen to Shi Naian's stories, and he only hoped that going to the tavern today would make him give up on Zhu Xi.

As the pillow person, she understands the thoughts of her own man, everyone has a face and wants to be honored, it is normal in the world.

It's just that Hu Weiyong, seeing Chongba's point, forced out old master Zhu Xi.

I believe that after talking all day today, Biao'er also persuaded him before, and she and Li said that he had long been shaken by the matter of Zhu Xi being his ancestor.

Need an excuse and a step down.

…………

Lao Zhu and Ma Shi both changed into plain civilian clothes, talking and laughing as they walked, just like a couple walking.

"Sister, let's see if the mutton is fresh."

"That iron shop's business is good." Mrs. Ma said with a smile listening to the tinkling sound coming from the iron shop.

"The days go by quickly, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few months. At that time, no matter what, let Xiao Si come back to celebrate the New Year." Madam touched the fabric next to him and said, "It feels so good."

"Listen to my sister, our family was poor when we were young, and when it comes to the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, we are happy."

The two of them talked and hummed Fengyang flower drum: "Dong Dong choke! Dong dong choke..."

When they entered Shi Naian's tavern with ease, the two were still singing.

When Shi Naian saw someone coming, he asked Zhu Biao to stay in the backyard. He immediately opened the curtain and went into the back kitchen, ordering Xiao Er to quickly bring dishes to the guests.

Lao Zhu sang the music, but he didn't notice Xiaoer who came behind him with the plate.

Snapped!Snapped!
With two crisp sounds, the plate bloomed in the tavern.

Xiao Er didn't know that it was Lao Zhu and Ma Shi who came here, looked at the broken plate, then at Shi Naian, jumped up and scolded: "What are you doing!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Shi hurriedly apologized.

"Forget it, forget it, Suisui is safe, isn't it?" The middle-aged man next to him came over to persuade the fight.

Lao Zhu took out the money from his pocket and said, "We will lose money."

Xiaoer was about to pick him up, but was stopped by the middle-aged man next to him and said: "They are ordinary people, forget it, this year is a rare good year, be kind."

Mrs. Ma also asked Xiao Er to accept it, and when he heard the middle-aged man's words, he said, "Brother, why is this year a good year?"

"There will be no more wars, and the world will be peaceful. In a few months, the emperor will be enthroned on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The whole world will celebrate together. We ordinary people should be more kind, and quarrels are not worthwhile."

After hearing this, Madam Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang next to him and said, "It's still a few months away, who knows if he is a good emperor or not."

The other guests who were drinking said: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong.

"Under the sun, there are few rich people, but there are many poor people. I heard that the emperor who has not been enthroned has no foundation, and came from the poor. Such a person knows that the people are suffering. He is definitely a good emperor."

Ma Shi and Lao Zhu looked at each other without speaking.

Xiao Er shook his head, picked up the pieces and said, "Brother Zhu, after all, your surname is the same as that of the unenthroned emperor."

The man surnamed Zhu said: "The surname is the same, but I am not a relative of the emperor."

It's an honor to be married to the royal family, and he also took the initiative to tell others that he and the emperor just have the same surname.

Old Zhu stepped forward and said, "Is your ancestor a descendant of Zhu Xi?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am not a descendant of Zhu Xi, I am a facial shave, and my ancestors were poor."

Old Zhu said again: "Zhu Xi is not an ordinary person, he is a learned scholar."

The middle-aged man continued to drink, and said: "No matter how good he is, what does he have to do with me? My ancestors will not misunderstand him. Zhu Xi is definitely not my ancestor."

Lao Zhu glanced at Mrs. Ma, found a table and sat down.

Shi Naian leaned against the door and watched the scene quietly, nodded in satisfaction, the arrangement he made was quite a coincidence.

Let fixed people say what should be said in fixed places.

Then he walked to Lao Zhu and Ma Shi and said in a low voice, "Your honored guest."

Shi Naian arranged a table of wine and food for Lao Zhu and Ma Shi, and accompanied them to talk.

"Superior, empress."

"Mr. Shi, we asked you to help us with things, and you refused repeatedly." Lao Zhu said with a mouthful of food.

"The food is late, the two distinguished guests don't care about it." Shi Naian changed the subject.

"You are not an idler." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks and looked at Shi Naian.

"The honored guest is too high on me. I just read a little, and I'm just proficient in writing and ink."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't laugh or get angry, and said peacefully: "Then I will learn from Mr. Wen Mo?"

Pen and ink will be ready soon.

Lao Zhu and Shi Naian looked at each other, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately made things difficult, and wrote a sentence on the paper: "There is nothing in the small restaurant for three cups and five drinks."

"Haha, the honored guest is saying that I don't have any good things in this store, but the handwriting is good." Shi Naian said.

Ma Shi looked at the two of them and was used to them talking like this.

Shi Naian picked up a pen and wrote his own sentence next to the paper: "The Ming Dynasty ruled all directions without distinction between north and south."

Mrs. Ma stood up and said: "Good words, good words, there is nothing for the Ming Dynasty to Xiaocundian, regardless of north and south."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and asked Shi Naian to write his name on it.

"My dear guest, the people who unify the north and the south don't care about who is a man, but only care about whether he is a good hero."

Lao Zhu didn't speak, and after looking at Ma Shi, he knew the reason, but instead he let out a long breath, as if he had put something on his mind.

Ma Shi said: "Thank you, Mr. Shi."

The two looked at each other and left the Liangshanbo Bistro with a smile.

Shi Naian walked to the back hall, raised his hand respectfully to Zhu Biao, who was studying the Ming wine, and said, "My lord, the two distinguished guests have already left, and I think it will definitely work through the conversations of those guests. "

"The wine is ready, Mister, you must let your apprentice inform me."

"Okay, I'll ask Guanzhong to send it to Shi Ziye."

　Guys, leave your votes.
