People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 232 The Mystery Is Revealed, Home Is Where You Are
Zhang Yi came out from Kong's house and returned to Qingxin Temple all the way.

Lao Mo came over and told him that a pilgrim named Chen Ke was visiting, but he turned him away.

Zhang Yi chuckled and said to Lao Mo:
"well done!"

Zhang Yi had expected that Chen Ke would beg to come to the door.

Originally, if he had other choices, he would not fool Chen Ke into setting up an auction house, but with his contacts in Ying Tianfu, only Chen Ke could possibly succeed in such a local snake business like an auction house!
Going to fool Chen Ke is a last resort!

Of course, there is also a reason for this, that is, Chen Ke mistakenly thought that he was the school boy of the Kong family, which was an accident!

Even if Chen Ke knew his identity one day, he didn't care.

It's just that since she didn't find out, Zhang Yile can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the name of a book boy.

If it wasn't for his weak status, Fatty Chen wouldn't be so easy to fool!
The weak have the advantages of the weak, and the strong have the benefits of the strong!

"You guys are busy, I'm going in!"

One of the reasons why Zhang Yi is not afraid that Fatty Chen will recognize her is that she plans not to go out until the end of the year!
During this time, he went to Xu Cunren's home, met his wife and teacher, and also visited Kong Na to talk about the family.

Went to Chang Mansion to comfort Mrs. Xie who was dragged down by her.

After all this is done, it is time to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

As the end of the year approaches, Taoist temples are actually busier!

Deng Zhongxiu, as the only one in the Taoist temple who regarded himself as a Taoist priest, undertook all the work of the Taoist temple years ago.

Although Lao Meng and Lao Mo helped him, he was still so busy that his chest was not on his back.

On the contrary, Zhang Yi is really relaxing.

When he is free, he will teach Meng Yao how to study, or go to the medicine garden to teach Li's sister-in-law how to breed!

Things about breeding have been arranged in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yi's fertile land has also been wiped out.

Taking advantage of the last wave of free time years ago, the tenants of the family made the first batch of soil fertilizers in Ming Dynasty under the guidance of Zhang Yi.

In fact, all kinds of natural organic and inorganic substances are fertilized together according to the distribution ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

The farmers don't understand the principle, but Xiao Mengyao is Zhang Yi's favorite student.

With her small body, she shuttled along the edge of the field and in the medicine garden, commanding in a serious manner.

The tenants also liked the little girl and teased her cheerfully.

Meng Yao often stomped her feet angrily because the tenants were not afraid of her. This scene fell into Zhang Yi's eyes, but felt inexplicably warm.

Although there is no way to be with his family, the existence of Xiao Mengyao makes him somewhat make up for his expectations for his family.

"Master Little Landlord, they are not obedient at all, I told them not to put so much pig manure..."

Little Mengyao couldn't hold back her bowels, and ran back crying.

Her aggrieved appearance really made the tenants laugh.

"Meng Yao, pay attention to your identity!"

Li Shi and Lao Meng are together. These days, she has sufficient nutrition, and with Zhang Yi's medical treatment, her complexion has improved a lot.

After her body recovered, she did not choose to be pampered because she was born as a young lady of a family.

Lao Meng loves her, and she loves Lao Meng too.

At this time, she was helping Lao Meng with work, but when she saw Meng Yao acting like a baby, she raised her head and scolded angrily.

From Li's point of view, everything about the Meng family today was given by that little Taoist priest. Although his Meng family has great kindness, he is also very kind to Meng Yao!
But people need to have a sense of boundaries, the master is the master, and the servant is the servant.

Meng Yao's intimacy with her master is also a kind of harm in Li's view!
Meng Yao was taken aback by Li Shi's yelling, and timidly swallowed the rest of the words.

Zhang Yi glanced at Mrs. Li, and probably understood what this woman was thinking.

Having experienced ups and downs in life, Li Shi's love for Meng Yao made her not want Meng Yao to suffer any of the hardships she has suffered!

There is a kind of suffering called drop! '

"Who made my sister cry?"

Zhang Yi laughed and knelt down to comfort Xiao Mengyao.

Meng Yao was startled, how did she become Zhang Yi's younger sister?

She asked: "Little brother, master..."

"Call me brother!"

"Brother, little landlord..."

"Hahaha!"

Her reaction made the tenants laugh!

Mrs. Li was stunned, and then sighed.

His eyes were full of emotion.

"Come on, let's go eat something delicious..."

Zhang Yi took Meng Yao's hand and went back to the Taoist temple, the eyes of those tenants were full of envy.

"Lao Meng, your daughter is lucky!"

"With the words of the landlord, your daughter will have a better life in the future!"

"Old Meng, does your daughter have a husband?"

"Old Li, are you worthy of thinking about the little landlord's sister?"

The tenants talked to each other, but Lao Meng just smiled honestly:
"From now on, our life will belong to the landlord..."

As everyone said, Li Shi only felt that something fell on her body, which was cold and cold.

"Snowing!"

Snow is falling, this is the first snow since winter!

time flies……

The taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger!

As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang also became busy.

Starting from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, preparations for the Aoshan lanterns and fireworks in the palace began.

night!

Several princes are playing around in the palace!
People in the palace set off big fireworks, and the gorgeous fireworks reflected the smiling faces of everyone.Add joy.

Fireworks exploded in the air.

On a quiet night on weekdays, the common people stepped out of their homes one after another to watch the long-lost fireworks.

In the past ten years, they have not seen such a grand occasion for too long.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the wall of the imperial palace, looking at Yingtian Mansion from a distance.

"This is what you promised Zhang Yi, to have a lively Spring Festival?"

Empress Ma stood beside Lao Zhu, watching the fireworks with him.

"Not only for him, but also for the people of the world!

The world is peaceful, and they should also live a happy life!
Our Daming's foundation is weak, and this hard life is probably going to last for a while!

But I believe that life will get better and better! "

Queen Ma smiled:
"You know the future result from Zhang Yi, so you should do better!
By the way, the gift you gave Zhang Yi should be in time, right?
It's the [-]th day tomorrow, can't we make a joke? "

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:
"Sister, in your eyes, I am such an unreliable person?
Don't worry, I confirmed it today, they have already arrived outside the city gate, and will enter the city early tomorrow morning! "

Queen Ma laughed:

"You are so willful as a child!
Are you already thinking about Zhang Yi's expression when he saw them?

Don't tell me, didn't you mean to scare that kid? "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, but he refused to admit it!
Thirty!
Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

The busyness of the Taoist temple in the past disappeared, replaced by desertedness.

There were not many people living near the Taoist temple, and after Lao Zhu bestowed the land on Zhang Yi, there were even less people.

Those who should go home for the New Year also go home for the New Year!

In the entire Taoist temple, there are only two or three big cats and kittens.

Deng Zhongxiu, Zhang Yi, and the homeless Lao Mo closed their doors early.

"Xiao Mengyao has gone home, and there are only three of us in this Taoist temple, and there is no taste of the year!"

Deng Zhongxiu, Lao Mo and Zhang Yi surrounded the fire to warm up, looking at each other.

Listening to Xiao Deng's complaint, Lao Mo said:
"After all, they have to go back to worship their ancestors, but Li's sister-in-law said that they will come back in the afternoon!

At that time, it will be good for us to have a New Year's Eve dinner at the medicine garden! "

Several people were chatting, and the three heard a knock on the door outside.

The Taoist temple has been closed, and everyone is celebrating the New Year at this time, so no one should come to the door!
"Old Mo, go and open the door!"

Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously, and asked Lao Mo to open the door.

Lao Mo nodded when he heard the words, and took the initiative to walk to the front yard.

He opened the door, but saw a woman standing at the door with two children. One was carved in jade and looked very gentle, and the other was still young, being held in the arms of the woman.

The woman was stunned when she saw Lao Mo, and asked:
"Excuse me, is this the Pure Mind View?"

Lao Mo hurriedly said:
"Here is the concept of pure heart, I wonder what's the matter with Madam?"

"That's right, let Zhang Yi come over to meet me, there are still many things in the car, I can't move them!"

Forehead!
When Lao Mo saw her saying that Zhang Yi spoke easily, he couldn't figure out who the other party was for a while.

Until the child holding the lady's hand yells:
"Zhang Yi, your elder brother, I'm looking for you!"

"Zhang Yuchu?"

Zhang Yiben was warming up by the fire in the backyard, when he suddenly heard the familiar voice of his elder brother, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Why is Zhang Yuchu here?

Isn't this guy studying at Longhu Mountain?
When he was still puzzled, Zhang Yuchu continued to shout:

"Why don't you hurry up and get my mother's luggage?"

"Mom, big brother..."

Zhang Yi's heart trembled, is this true?

He strung together all of a sudden and ran towards the front yard at high speed.

Deng Zhongxiu also ran out with Zhang Yi.

"Mistress!"

"mother!"

When Zhang Yi saw his mother, he was still in disbelief.

He was already prepared to be alone in a foreign land, but he never thought that his family from Longhu Mountain would appear here?

"Why are you here?"

Zhang Yi's voice trembled a little. It was not an easy task to walk from Longhu Mountain in winter.

Everyone else is heading back to their hometown, but Mrs. Zhang and the eldest brother and third brother choose to go against the capital?

Mrs. Zhang replied:
"I don't know what's going on, the emperor ordered us to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year..."

"The emperor's decree?"

Zhang Yi was completely confused, Zhu Yuanzhang, this old boy, still manages so leniently?

He even has to take care of where people celebrate the New Year?
Moreover, why did the emperor call his mother and younger brother to the capital? Is this illogical?

Zhang Yi was full of doubts, but he had no clue.

But he was a little happy when his mother and brother appeared here.

Ever since he left Longhushan, he thought it would be many years before we meet again!
Mrs. Zhang came over and pinched Zhang Yi's face:

"you lost weight……"

Zhang Yi: ...

There is a feeling that your mother thinks you are thin!

No matter what the reason is, the emperor in the deep palace seems to have done a good thing!
Zhang Yi called out softly:
"mother!"

"Okay, help my mother with the luggage! This year is Chinese New Year's Eve, why haven't you prepared anything, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and there really isn't a woman's house, so it's just not possible!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhang came in, she automatically entered the role.

She looked around and began to criticize Zhang Yi.

But this sound of scolding, to Zhang Yi, was like the sound of nature.

"I roasted duck and made saltwater duck!
As for other meals, Aunt Li will come to help in the afternoon! "

He roughly told Mrs. Zhang about the matter, and Mrs. Zhang kept a straight face:
"That doesn't work either. How can you prepare these things for the New Year's Eve!"

Before washing away the dust, Mrs. Zhang immediately started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Yi wanted to help, but was kicked out by his mother!
In the afternoon, Lao Meng's family, who went home to worship their ancestors, came back and found that there were many people in the Taoist temple.

Mrs. Li chatted with Mrs. Zhang for a few words, and immediately hit it off.

Coupled with the innocent and cute appearance of Xiao Mengyao, Mrs. Zhang liked it very much. For a while, the lonely Taoist temple became lively.

"elder brother!"

Zhang Yuqing was about the same age as Meng Yao, and he was Zhang Yi's follower on the mountain.

Zhang Yi was chatting with Zhang Yuchu, and he tricked Zhang Yuqing into playing with Meng Yao.

"Did Dad write to you?"

Zhang Yuchu asked Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi shook his head.

Letters from the north are missing some days.

He finally received news from Zhang Normal that he was following Chang Yuchun's army.

Although Taiyuan has been taken down, there are still wars in various parts of Shanxi.

"It's freezing cold, Daddy, don't worry!"

"You crow mouth, it's better to say a few words!"

The two brothers, you hurt me and I hurt you, but they enjoyed themselves happily.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li came out with food and shouted:
"time to eat!"

For the New Year's Eve dinner, there are no servants on Longhu Mountain to serve, and there is no blessing from the disciples!
But Zhang Yi feels that this year has been more warm.

The people are seated.

Mrs. Zhang pulled little Meng Yao to her side.

Mrs. Li and Lao Meng originally wanted to wait on the sidelines, but Zhang Yi decided to let them sit down!
Lao Meng:

"My lord, this is against the rules!"

"What I said, the concept of pure heart is the rule here..."

Lao Meng and his wife sat down in fear, while Mrs. Zhang watched Zhang Yi's movements, but did not speak.

Zhang Yi, who left Longhushan, has many qualities that Longhushan did not have.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears when she saw the situation in front of her.

"Mother, today is a happy day, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Zhang answered Zhang Yuchu's question:
"I think your brother has grown up, and I'm happy for him, but also inexplicably sad!
Also, mother thinks of your father, he is alone in the cold in the north, and he doesn't know what to do? "

When mentioning Zhang Normal, the Zhang family fell silent.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhang hasn't gone down the mountain for many years, and it's even rarer not to celebrate the New Year on the mountain.

Just when the family was sad, there was another knock on the door outside the Taoist temple.

"Who is this New Year's Eve?"

Deng Zhongxiu muttered something, and suddenly, everyone froze.

"Could it be..."

Brothers Zhang Yuchu and Zhang Yi quickly put down their chopsticks and ran towards the front yard.

The two brothers couldn't wait to open the door.

"Why, are you surprised to see Pindao?"

Zhang Normal is full of travel and dust, but he is full of smiles.

"father!"

Excited, Zhang Yuchu threw himself into Zhang Normal's arms and began to cry.

Zhang Yi didn't rush over, but just stood there.

Lao Zhang comforted Zhang Yuchu and looked up at Zhang Yi.

"came back?"

"came back!"

The conversation between father and son was a little polite.

"With the emperor's decree, I rushed back day and night, just to enter the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, and I finally didn't delay the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Zhang normal tried to keep his tone calm.

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"I said mother and eldest brother, why are they in the capital? It turns out that the emperor gave you a surprise?

But he is also, let you come back sooner, go back to Longhu Mountain!
It's still a long journey, and I will take my mother and elder brother over! "

Lao Zhang shook his head, the child still didn't understand the emperor's deep meaning!
Whether it's him, or Zhang Yuchu and others, it's because of you that they can appear here!

He didn't point it out either, and said with a smile:
"No matter where it is, the place where this family gathers is home!
Go in, Pindao feels cold and wants to drink some wine to warm up his body! "

Zhang Yi nodded, Zhang Yuchu hurriedly pulled Zhang Normal and took him to the Taoist temple!

At this time, fireworks bloomed in the sky.

From the direction of the palace, a lot of fireworks rise!
Even outside the city, Zhang Yi could still feel the sky-shattering sound.

The gorgeous fireworks made everyone in the Taoist temple stop the New Year's Eve dinner and run to watch the fireworks.

"Uncle is right, this year's Chinese New Year is indeed very lively!"

Zhang Yi remembered Huang He's words and muttered to himself.

"Master, Dad..."

Lao Zhang walked into the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Zhang waited to greet him.

The husband and wife chatted a few words, and Mrs. Zhang wiped away tears again.

"Today is New Year's Eve, the world is peaceful, you should be happy!"

Lao Zhang patted his wife on the shoulder, turned around and shouted:

"What are you still doing, come in for a New Year's Eve dinner!"

Zhang Yi, who was in a daze, only came back to his senses at this time, and he shouted:
"Wait for me!"
