Chapter 57 Good Grandson
When Zhu Di heard it, his heart melted, and he immediately turned around and urged Yishi: "Cakes, cakes."
Yi Shiha didn't dare to be negligent, and ran out in a hurry.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Good grandson, come and tell Grandpa Huang why your mother and concubine are wearing civilian clothes."
Mrs. Zhang quickly kowtowed and said, "Return to Father Emperor..."
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I ask the emperor's grandson."
Ms. Zhang fell silent.
Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Huang, you have grown up so big, it is unexpected that you are not sensible."
"Ah..." Zhu Di was taken aback.
Zhu Zhanji seriously 'taught' Zhu Di: "We are producing gauze. There are so many spinning machines here. My father and mother and concubine have said that you have to wear short cotton shirts here. If not, you can wear long sleeves. It’s inconvenient, it’s about to fall if you’re not careful.”
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Zhanji continued: "Grandpa Huang must study hard in the future and gain a lot of knowledge, so that he can be capable."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud, almost to the point of tears, and said with a stern face: "You little guy, Grandpa Huang knows a lot."
Zhu Zhanji said: "Then grandpa can spin?"
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, but fortunately at this time... Yi Shiha came back in a hurry, carrying a food box, stepped forward carefully, and took out a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Zhu Di took out a piece, and brought it to Zhu Zhanji's mouth.
Zhu Zhanji stared straight at the pastry, his throat rolled, and he swallowed his saliva, but the saliva still flowed out from the corner of his mouth like a waterfall.
"Come, grandson, come and eat."
Zhu Zhanji didn't move, but just stared straight at him.
Zhu Di said: "Eat."
Zhu Zhanji was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva like a monkey meeting tourists in Zhangjiajie.
Zhu Di saw him strangely: "Why don't you eat it, don't you like it? Then what do you want to eat?"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were struggling, and he tried hard to move his eyes away from the pastry, before saying, "The grandson can't eat it."
"Why can't you eat it?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "The concubine mother said... Now that there are so many people in the East Palace, there must be insufficient money and food. To share the difficulties and tide over the difficulties together, both father and concubine mother must set an example. The original three meals, Change it to two meals, the ups and downs will be effective... I... I listen to my concubine the most. If the concubine eats two meals, I will also eat two meals. It is not the time for meals. If the grandson eats, others will see Go, the concubine's words won't work."
When Zhu Di heard this, his body trembled subconsciously.
Then he looked at Zhu Zhanji with a special look in his eyes.
Zhu Zhanji was still swallowing his saliva, but his little head was desperately trying to resist the pastry that Zhu Di was holding.
Zhu Di lowered his head, looked at Zhang Shi and said, "You can't wrong the child."
Ms. Zhang responded: "Father, it is the fault of the minister and concubine."
Zhu Zhanji muttered: "It's not the mother's fault, it's my own idea. The mother and the concubine are saving money, how can a son eat and drink? When the emperor met Emperor Gao and didn't think about tea, Can I still eat and drink?"
Zhu Di seemed to be touched, touched Zhu Zhanji's little head, and muttered in his mouth: "Okay, okay, your question has stopped me from asking, how can I answer you."
As he spoke, Zhu Di's eyes turned red, both distressed and full of emotions: "Grandson, are there many beautiful women in the East Palace? Who bought them?"
"My uncle." Zhu Zhanji said.
Obviously this answer was unexpected by Zhu Di, and he frowned slightly: "Zhang Anshi?"
Zhu Zhanji simply said: "Yes."
Zhu Di said: "I heard that the price he bought is low, is it?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Yes."
Zhu Di showed a bit of displeasure: "The common people sell their sons and daughters... He is fine..."
Zhu Zhanji immediately retorted this time: "No."
"Ah...this..."
Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "Grandpa Huang is not allowed to scold uncle."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Zhanji said: "These people are very poor. When they were bought, many of them had been hungry for many days. When I saw them, they were still barefoot. Uncle said... We have to help with disaster relief , Mother Concubine also said that she will take care of things, it is important to bring people into the palace first, in the East Palace, there will always be a mouthful of food, if it is sent to other places, I don't know what it will be like."
After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly woke up.
He turned his head and saw many maids here. Although they were all wearing cotton shorts like Mrs. Zhang, many of them were very thin. It was obvious that their bodies had not fully recovered, but their complexions seemed to have improved a lot.
Zhu Di nodded his head and said: "Yes, it's my fault. I am impulsive and irritable. If my grandson teaches me a lesson, I will understand. Do you really not eat pastries?"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the pastry again, reluctance flashed in his eyes, and finally said firmly: "Don't eat it, if you say you don't eat it, you don't eat it."
Zhu Di was very emotional, his tone eased a lot, and he said to Zhang: "Get up quickly, it's not easy for you."
Mr. Zhang remained calm all the time, and made another big gift: "Thank you, Father."
After finishing speaking, she stood beside Empress Xu.
Empress Xu was very happy. Although she never said a word, she had been observing in secret all the time. At this time, she took Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "Come, take a look at this material. Let me, a mother, try spinning too."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Zhu Di, she sat next to Zhang's spinning machine just now, and Zhang was handling it carefully, telling her the secret of spinning.
Zhu Di didn't insist on letting Zhu Zhanji eat the pastry, and handed the pastry back to Yi Shiha. He hugged Zhu Zhanji and kissed him, and said happily: "Good grandson, I will definitely boost my family business in the future, better than your father." .”
Zhu Zhanji frowned: "Grandpa Huang's beard hurts me."
"Okay, okay, it's the emperor's fault." Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji, very happy. He was usually fierce, but now he rarely showed a cautious expression.
"Grandfather, are you going to see the new maid?"
"Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then put Zhu Zhanji down, and said with a smile, "Let's go, take Grandpa Huang."
"Grandfather, come."
Zhu Zhanji excitedly took Zhu Di's hand, dragging Zhu Di all the way, through the palace gates, to a corner of the East Palace, where there are mostly low buildings, row after row.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji broke away from Zhu Di's hand, crossed his hands and said, "These people came in the day before yesterday. My concubine and my uncle said that Songjiang was the hardest hit, so they buy more from Songjiang. They haven't adapted yet...Grandpa Huang ..."
Zhu Zhanji looked up at Zhu Di eagerly and said, "I can't understand their accent. They are more timid than me, like frightened birds..."
Zhu Di was silent when he saw the new 'Gong'e' one after another.
Some of these people came out to fetch water from the patio in the middle of the house, and some were washing clothes. Because they just came here, they still don’t know how to operate the spinning machine, so let them get used to it first.
Zhu Di was startled when he saw the women with dull eyes, cowering, and withered and yellow complexions like yellow wax. There were also a few women with distended stomachs, but their exposed arms seemed to be Like a dead branch.
Zhu Di took a few steps forward, and a palace lady who was close was trying to hide.
Zhu Di stopped her: "What's your name?"
Gong'e said something timidly, but Zhu Di didn't understand.
Zhu Di said: "Speak slowly."
"Chen Wenya..."
Zhu Dican raised his eyebrows: "There is a name and a surname... Has anyone in the family read books?"
"Yes Yes…"
"Where's your father and brother?"
After hearing this, the woman felt grief from her heart, her bulging belly rose and fell, her face became more and more sallow, and tears poured down from her lifeless eyes: "They are all dead, my father was washed away by the flood, two brothers... elder brother Lost, the second brother robbed people for food and was beaten to death."
Zhu Di has been in the army for a long time, and naturally he has seen the scene of thousands of miles of red land after a military disaster, but at that time, Zhu Di was a general with a hard heart, and everything was for the purpose of victory.
When I saw this woman today, I was silent for a long time.
After a while, he said: "Come here... are you okay?"
The woman lay on the ground, curled up, and kowtowed like garlic: "His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess, if you don't buy me, I'm afraid I'll be eaten by wild dogs..."
Zhu Di thought that this woman also came from a scholarly family, but in a blink of an eye, she fell to such a point, took a breath, and said: "Is there any relief from the government?"
"They... they said they would save..."
Zhu Di seemed to understand something, and said furiously, "A bunch of **** officials!"
The woman trembled with fright.
Zhu Di quickly held back his temper, and said, "I'm not scolding you. Hey..."
Sighing, he glanced at the woman who was still trembling again, said nothing more, took Zhu Zhanji's hand and turned away, while teaching Zhu Zhanji: "Good grandson, remember, you must know how to be a son of man." Filial piety can be a king, but you must know how to see the details, and you must not let people fool you, the human heart is sometimes more terrifying than a beast."
Zhu Zhanji said very seriously: "Sun Chen understands, who dares to lie to Sun Chen, Sun Chen is his mother!"
Because it is serialized, what everyone thinks is unreasonable may actually be explained in later chapters. The author cannot explain everything by adding thousands of words every day.
However, the countdown to the storm is about to begin. In the past two days, the new book period is annoying everyone, and so is the tiger.
