My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 52 What do you want?
Autumn night, cold wind, drizzle.

There was a candle in front of the Buddhist hall, on the futon under the candlelight, Zhu Zhanhe curled up and lay on his side, with his hands wrapped in his sleeves, hugging himself tightly, but still feeling lonely, lonely and cold.

There was a sound of soft footsteps outside the Buddhist hall, and then the door was pushed open, and a girl in a green skirt walked in.

"How did you come?"

Seeing the other party, Zhu Zhanhe also sat up in surprise and asked, the other party was Sun Xiaogong, but the clothes on her body were changed, because Zhu Zhanhe tore her previous clothes into strips.

"The princess asked me to deliver dinner to the crown prince."

Sun Xiaogong said, putting the food box in her hand on the low table next to her, and then took out all the food inside.

"My mother? Is there no one around her? How can I ask you to deliver the food?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked puzzledly.

"The princess said, let me serve by her side temporarily."

Sun Xiaogong girl replied softly.

"Well, the money is gone, and the people are gone!"

Zhu Zhanhe picked up the bowl and chopsticks, he didn't even bother to get angry, so he took a mouthful of rice and said again.

"You go back and tell my mother that I am empty now, and I will live here in the future, and the ancient Qingdeng Buddha will accompany me forever."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Zhanhe picked up the dishes on the plate, and immediately said again dissatisfied: "What about the meat, why are all the vegetables?"

"Puchi~", the little palace lady Sun couldn't help laughing, just now Zhu Zhanhe returned the ancient Buddha with the green lamp, but in the end he was going to eat meat in the blink of an eye, how does this look like he wants to cultivate Buddha?

"What are you laughing at? I haven't heard that wine and meat have passed through the intestines. Did the Buddha keep it in his heart?"

Zhu Zhanhe gave Sun Xiaogong a look and asked back.

"Forgive me, my son, this is a Buddhist hall, so of course you can't bring in wine and meat."

Sun Xiaogong explained.

"Forget it, let's think of it as reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness."

Zhu Zhanhe was also really hungry, and the vegetarian dishes in Wangfu were much more delicious than those in Tianjie Temple, so he ate two bowls of rice in one go, and felt better.

Sun Xiaogong waited for Zhu Zhanhe to finish eating before she began to clean up the dishes.

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked, "I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

Sun Xiaogong hesitated for a while, and finally replied: "The little girl's name is Ruowei."

(PS: Empress Sun did not leave a name, but Daming Fenghua is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so let's use this name.)
"Sun Ruowei? A good name, much better than mine!"

Zhu Zhanhe praised.

"Your Majesty, you are being polite, how can the little girl's name compare with yours?"

Sun Ruowei shook his head and said.

"Why can't it be compared, my name is Zhu Zhanhe, Zhan is looking forward, the valley is a big pit, connected together, it is 'Zhu, there is a big pit in front of you', you say such a bad name, I am Sooner or later you will fall into the pit."

Zhu Zhanhe complained.

Of course, the most embarrassing thing is not Zhu Zhanhe, but Zhu Zhanji. It is hard to bear to look at the above sentence.

Sun Ruowei laughed again when she heard Zhu Zhanhe's explanation. She suddenly found that Zhu Zhanhe was not only a good person, but also very good at making people laugh.

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Sun Ruowei, who was smiling like a flower, and suddenly leaned closer and said, "You have such a beautiful smile, now you are alone in the temple, are you not afraid that I will continue what I did during the day?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanhe mentioned the incident during the day, Sun Ruowei's little face turned red, but she still forced herself to calm down and said, "I know the son is a good person, and I did that during the day just because I didn't want the princess to take me away. "

"That's not necessarily the case. There is not enough time during the day, otherwise I don't mind doing more."

Zhu Zhanhe leaned closer again and laughed.

"cough~"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman's cough suddenly came from outside the window, and then Princess Han walked in, glanced at them and said, "You guys are having a lively chat!"

Sun Ruowei didn't expect Princess Han to be outside and heard their conversation, so she was too shy to raise her head.

With a thick skin, Zhu Zhanhe got up immediately and said with a chuckle, "Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

"Do you really know what's wrong?"

Concubine Han's anger was almost gone at this time, and she was not willing to really punish her son.

"I really know I was wrong! My son swears here that he will never make the same mistake again in the future!"

Zhu Zhanhe raised his hand and swore.

Even if he wants to commit a crime now, he can't commit it, because he doesn't even have a penny in his body, let alone spend a lot of money.

"Well, let's forget about today's business. I will save your private money for you first, and I will give it to you when you really grow up."

Princess Han finally nodded.

As for Princess Han's words about private money, anyone who has attended a kindergarten class would probably not believe it.

But Zhu Zhanhe could only say: "Yes, yes! My money is mother's money, you can do whatever you want!"

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Princess Han finally calmed down.

"By the way, Ruowei is my maid in name, but in fact she is still responsible for your food and daily life. Don't bully her anymore!"

Princess Han suddenly looked at Sun Ruowei and said.

"Mother, don't worry, my son was just joking just now!"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly explained that although Sun Ruowei was beautiful, she was too young, and he had no interest in this kind of yellow-haired girl who didn't grow up.

Of course, if you say this, others will not believe it. Just saying "You're not interested and you still spend so much money to get him back?" can block Zhu Zhanhe to death.

"Okay, go back and rest, stay at home honestly for me these few days, and don't cause trouble for me again!"

Concubine Han ordered again.

Of course, Zhu Zhanhe responded repeatedly, and then took Sun Ruowei back to the courtyard where he lived. It happened that he also lacked a personal maid, so Sun Ruowei took over.

The next day when Zhu Zhanhe got up, Sun Ruowei helped him to dress, comb his hair, wash his hands, make breakfast, etc. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which was indeed much better than before.

Originally Zhu Zhanhe wanted to listen to the words of Princess Han and stay at home honestly today, but he didn't expect someone to come from the palace suddenly, and Zhu Di called him into the palace.

So Zhu Zhanhe had no choice but to get on his horse, and took Ma An and a group of servants to escort him out.

Along the way, Zhu Zhanhe also murmured in his heart, could it be that it happened in the Qiuxing Competition yesterday, even Zhu Di was alarmed, right?

But after thinking about it, Zhu Di, as the emperor, shouldn't have the energy to care about these trivial things between his children and grandchildren, right?

With a feeling of apprehension, Zhu Zhanhe came to the imperial city and finally entered the Hall of Martial Heroes.

"Grandson Zhu Zhanhe, pay respects to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward to salute.

"Zhan He doesn't need to be too polite, come and see this!"

Zhu Di was also very happy to see Zhu Zhanhe, and casually picked up a memorial book on the table and handed it over.

Zhu Zhanhe felt relieved, it seems that it was not yesterday.

So Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward, took the memorial and opened it to read it.

This turned out to be a letter of good news sent by Zhang Fu who was far away in Jiaozhi. It turned out that the method of preventing cholera presented by Zhu Zhanhe last time had been promoted by Zhang Fu in the army, and the effect was very gratifying.

According to what Zhang Fu said in the document, the cholera epidemic has been contained now, and the situation in the army has improved greatly. More than [-]% of the army has recovered its combat effectiveness, and it no longer needs to rely on the natives recruited locally.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Huang, the cholera has subsided, and with the British government in charge, it won't be long before Jiaozhi can be completely included in the territory of my Ming Dynasty like Yunnan!"

Zhu Zhanhe congratulated Zhu Di immediately.

"Haha~, that's right, Jiaozhi is calmed down, and I've also got rid of a heart problem, and you should be the first to do this!"

Zhu Di laughed out loud, and at this point, he looked at Zhu Zhanhe and said solemnly: "Zhanhe, you say what you want, as long as you ask, Grandpa, I will never refuse!"

"what do you want?"

Zhu Zhanhe blinked his eyes when he heard the words, this question is really hard to answer.
