Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 6

Zhu Ji looked at the woman who was struggling to hold the wooden basin in front of her, and he couldn't bear to go over and take the basin.

"Sister, if you are not in good health, you should rest."

He really couldn't figure out how the old horse, who seemed to be a generous and kind guy, treated his servants so harshly.This eldest sister is so weak that she can't even hold a basin of water to wash her feet, yet she even asks her to wash her feet.

Putting the wooden basin in front of the stool, Zhu Ji took off his mud-stained shoes, and at the same time raised his head and smiled at the woman:
"I was also born poor. I was lucky enough to hug your master's thigh. Speaking of it, although it is comfortable to be served, I am still not used to it."

"At your age, it stands to reason that you should do some leisurely work in this yard. But I'm also a freelancer, and I can't be the master of this house. I can only let you rest when I'm here."

Zhu Ji neither shied away from his despicable behavior of eating free food, nor arrogantly promised to stand up for him. This kind of sincere attitude made Empress Ma feel inexplicably fond of him for a while.

But she didn't forget the business of coming here this time.

Seeing Zhu Ji sticking his feet into the tub, Empress Ma rolled up the cuffs of her coarse cloth clothes, and also responded with a smile:

"The young master is kind. But the old lady still has to do some work, otherwise they will see me when I go out, and I will have to pay a fine."

Without waiting for Zhu Ji's objection, Empress Ma raised Zhu Ji's somewhat stiff right leg, rubbed her hands gently on the bottom of the right foot, looked at the looming traces excitedly, and explained her behavior in her mouth :

"A few days ago, I suffered from the wind and cold, and my body is a little weak. But I have learned the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet from Langzhong Youfang. I am the best at pinching the feet in the whole house. So the master usually asks me to wash his feet. Today, the young master is blessed."

Hearing what Queen Ma said, Zhu Ji was immediately happy.

"Co-author, you still have craftsmanship. But I suggest that your master arrange it this way in the future, and it's best for you to find an excuse to shirk it.

Think about it, if you only wash the feet of your lord alone, and wash the feet of your lord and guests, your status will suddenly become high or low.

Today he asked you to wash my feet, I'm afraid there will be other guests tomorrow or the day after.As the days go by, don't you have to be tired of coping every day. "

Hearing Zhu Ji's crooked move, Empress Ma couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, she has seen everything that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted her to see, no matter the extension of the name lock, or the brocade on the swaddling baby back then, and, most importantly, the birthmark on the sole of Zhu Ji's foot that has not deformed in the past 19 years.

At this moment, she really wanted to hold Zhu Ji and cry bitterly, and tell him all her guilt and miss for Zhu Ji over the years.

But Empress Ma always remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder.

Today, the Great Ming Dynasty is still unstable, and the DPRK and China seem to be calm but undercurrents are surging.If there is an extra eldest son of the emperor rashly, I am afraid that it will cause shocks in the world, and the society that has just recovered may be shaken again.

It will be a long and cautious process for Zhu Jiping to restore his status as prince safely.

Empress Ma held back, but she still couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Ji saw that she was about to cry but was holding back her tears, and felt a little strange but couldn't help comforting her:
"Sister, if you have anything, you might as well tell me. Although I can't help you, but no matter what unhappy things, it's much better to say it than to keep it in your heart. Besides, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same. It's not the same, in case you find that I'm worse than you, wouldn't you be happier?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Empress Ma was still a little sad, this child has to suffer so much to be so distressed.

But after hearing the second half of the sentence, the empress who is the mother of the world couldn't help it, and laughed with tears in her eyes.

This crying and laughing appearance made Zhu Ji feel even more strange, so he simply took the opportunity to take his foot out of Queen Ma's hand, bent down and rubbed it twice, then picked up the linen cloth that was put aside, rubbed it, and quickly put on the Old shoes with mud marks still on them.

After finishing these, Zhu Ji showed a consoling smile to Empress Ma who had just reacted:

"Elder Sister, when you recover from a serious illness, it's the most taboo to be overjoyed and sad. Although I don't know what's sad about you, I still want to say that no matter what happens, as long as you're still alive, the situation won't be worse. Go back and rest first." Come on, let me take a shower, your master is probably getting impatient."

Seeing that Empress Ma didn't seem to make any moves, Zhu Ji helplessly spread his hands:
"Actually, I also want to soak my feet and listen to you talk about your sad things, but after all, I also want to hug my thighs for free, and I still can't make your master unhappy. So, if we have fate, I will be your audience again another day. "

He carried the wooden basin to the door, and seeing the two maidservants still waiting at the door, Zhu Ji handed over the wooden basin to their hands, and then he watched Empress Ma, who seemed a little stupefied, walk out of the house, and he was relieved.

When Zhu Ji appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang again, Zhu Yuanzhang looked kindly in front of him, and seemed to be somewhat satisfied in his examining eyes.This scene is exactly the same as seeing him when his father was not dead.

Zhu Ji faintly had an ominous premonition.

Could it be that Lao Ma wants to be my father?
No, absolutely not.The father of the gold master who hugs his thighs and eats free food is not a real father, even if he adds money.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't know how Zhu Ji slandered him at all, was really happy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

The mother and son were heart-to-heart, and Empress Ma, who had rushed over just now, threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, her words were full of complaints about Zhu Yuanzhang.But no matter how much he scolded him, he fully expressed one meaning——Zhu Ji is really Zhu Yuanzhang's cub.

It would be a lie to say he was unhappy.

So although he still can't recognize Zhu Ji in name, in his heart Zhu Yuanzhang has completely agreed with this son.

He just regrets now, when will he be able to pave the way for Zhu Ji, and let Zhu Ji recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors without affecting the Ming Dynasty.

Then, let this bastard kneel in the ancestral hall and let him whip a few times to vent the anger he has been aroused by this kid these days.

In the Ming Dynasty, in terms of narrow-mindedness, no one can compare with Guorui.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something, but suddenly found that the sky suddenly darkened.Sitting in the living room for a while, he couldn't see the situation in the courtyard, and the Mochou Lake, which was originally very calm, suddenly became full of people's voices as the sky changed, and the piercing sound of gongs sounded, and Zhu Ji could only hear someone shouting loudly outside. shouting:
"Tengu is eating the sun, everyone go home quickly."

At the same time, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang stand up "squeaky" and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard.

Outside the living room door, the two guards were shaking like chaff.

If it wasn't for the emperor in person, I'm afraid they would have been paralyzed on the ground because of fear like many people outside.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang rushing out from the living room, one of the guards spoke with a dry mouth and trembling:
"Your Majesty..."

"Ok?"

Reminded by Zhu Yuanzhang's cold snort, the guard's frightened heart almost didn't stop beating. He resisted the gradually amplified fear and hurriedly changed his words:
"Master, the tengu eats the sun, shouldn't we go back...to the camp, um, to stabilize the morale of the army."

Zhu Ji couldn't understand why these people would be so afraid when they saw the solar eclipse, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that at this time, all the officials in the court must be on their way to the palace, and there would be some confusion in the future. .

After humming lightly, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Ji.

Originally, I wanted to explain a few words to Zhu Ji, and then I went back to the palace to appease the panicked ministers.How could he know that the middle-aged man behind him didn't feel panic at all because of Tiangou's eclipse.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being a little curious.

Even if he is now the son of heaven, he suddenly feels a little flustered when faced with such a vision. Why is he so calm and calm as a half-child who has not experienced much in the world.

"You are not afraid?"

The guard's performance of respecting the sky and fearing the gods was undoubtedly ridiculous in his eyes, and it was even more ridiculous for Zhu Yuanzhang to pretend to be calm and ask him why he was not afraid.

"It's just the most normal celestial phenomenon. There's nothing to be afraid of. But you, Ma, pretend to be so calm, are you panicking?"

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to speed up the speed of paving the road, and the whip in his hand was already hungry and thirsty.

Seemingly sensing Zhu Yuanzhang's malice, Zhu Ji grinned, put away his arrogance, and said solemnly:

"Although I don't read much, the secret of this eclipse happens to be within the scope of my knowledge. Don't worry, if the sky doesn't fall, there won't be any disasters. But I have to wrong you officials, Let’s do a prayer to appease the people.”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help sucking his teeth. Although Zhu Ji's calm attitude made him extremely satisfied, his lack of awe in the face of such visions also made him a little worried.

He is not afraid of the sky, but he is afraid of the emperor.

If it was someone else, he would definitely find a reason to pull it out and chop it up.

But after all, this is his own cub, and he hasn't even called his father yet, so he really can't beat him or scold him.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had the same expression, Zhu Ji smiled awkwardly: "I think you'd better listen to the guy at the door and hurry up and sit in the camp."

"Those rough guys usually only know how to fight and kill. When encountering this kind of vision, I'm afraid there will be a riot. I'm afraid you won't have to be implicated by the two people I mentioned before, the emperor The Lord will drag you out and chop you up."

While speaking, the sky was bright again, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Ji several times, seeing that he really did not panic at all during his breathing, and the calm just now did not seem to be fake at all, so he nodded solemnly:
"You're right, I should go back and suppress it. But you bastard, when this is over, you have to tell me what the solar eclipse you know is all about."

These words were solemn and dignified. It was the first time for Zhu Ji to feel the murderous aura crawling out of the pile of dead people from this Wangnianjiao.

　It feels like a stand-alone machine, but it doesn't look like it. I still talk to myself and ask for collection and recommendation. Thank you, everyone.
