As soon as he came out of the deep palace, the fourth prince suddenly became a lively and active naughty child. The last time I came to visit Mrs. Tai in the Zhaoguo Mansion, he and the third prince didn't stay long before they were chased away, and then they were almost chased and intercepted by people with a heart, of course, they couldn't talk about having a good stroll, and at this time, there was no such thing as a burden, and he touched his stomach pitifully when he left Qing'an Hall.

"Teacher, Sister Yingying, I'm hungry."

The third prince simply couldn't bear to look at it directly, although you didn't eat much at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, but before it came out, the Queen Mother still gave you a snack to pad your stomach, how could there be such an unceremonious one? However, before he could say that he would wait for the Queen Mother to come out, he saw Zhang Shou gently flick the head of the fourth prince with his fingers.

"You really don't think of yourself as an outsider! Say, what do you want to eat? Hot pot stir-fry dim sum steamed ...... None at all! The last four words spit out, and seeing that the fourth prince was dumbfounded, he smiled and said, "Isn't that normal?" The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Zhao Guogong Mansion has long ended, and even the reward money for the next people has been distributed. If you are going to be hungry, there is only one thing that is not lacking, glutinous rice balls. ”

Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly turned annoyed into joy, he immediately shouted what stuffing he wanted to eat, and then bargained with Zhang Shou, the third prince only felt that the mood of being messed up these days because of the mess had calmed down unconsciously. At this time, he felt that his head had also been touched, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhu Ying.

"You, sometimes you have to learn from that kid. He pretends to be a prince with his head held high when he needs it, and he treats himself as a child when he doesn't need it, so he doesn't suffer the most. ”

Zhu Ying said, the corners of her mouth gradually curved: "Although Ah Shou always complains that the kid is a bear child who causes trouble, it can be seen that he still likes the fourth prince very much." But children grow up fast, and I don't know how long it will take him to become one of those serious and boring adults, who are calculating in his heart when he has nothing to do. ”

The third prince was silent for a while, and then plucked up the courage to whisper: "Sister Yingying, when there are no provocative people in the future, can you also call me Zheng Rong?" The teacher is too, he has always called the fourth brother Zheng Qiang in private, but he rarely calls me by my name. ”

Zhu Ying was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Okay, what's so difficult about this!" If it is according to my habit, it is too obvious to call Zheng Rong with a name and surname, or call you Ah Rong or Rong Rong is closer! ”

The third prince originally intended to be a little lonely because as the crown prince except for a few people, no one dared to call him by his name, but when Zhu Ying really jokingly burst out those words, he immediately looked extremely embarrassed. Before he could agree or refuse, he saw the fourth prince suddenly pounce.

"Third brother, the teacher said that the filling of the glutinous rice balls in Zhao Guogong's Mansion is not sweet! There are pork and mutton, mushroom and chicken filling, and fish-flavored shredded meat filling...... There are even rice balls that are fried and then fried and eaten! ”

The third prince was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Zhang Shou, who came unhurriedly behind him, said with a smile: "What's the fun of eating exactly the same thing all day long?" Just as learning needs to bring forth the new, cooking also needs to keep pace with the times. Not to mention that the dumplings are salty and sweet, the bean curd, zongzi, and the Youth League of the Dragon Boat Festival can all be handled in this way......"

Seeing that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were just fooling the two most noble children in the world to hug the building back, Zhu Er couldn't help but whisper: "The two of them are really first-class in their ability to deal with children, and they are also good at deceiving those two little ones!" ”

"You tried to cheat?" Zhu Tingfang sneered unceremoniously, and when he saw that people suddenly didn't dare to speak, he said lightly, "Because of their old circumstances, don't look at their young age, but they are the people who know best in their hearts. Yingying and Zhang Shouda treated them as ordinary people from the beginning, and they were consistent from beginning to end, so that they could be truly relied on and trusted. ”

"Replace someone else, even if it is us, after the East Palace has a master, can we still treat them the same as before?"

Zhu Eryi was even more stunned. The third prince became the crown prince, of course he had to pay seven points, and even the fourth prince had to pay three more points, which was absolutely impossible as before. And he looked at his eternally serious father, but he saw that no one even refuted Zhu Tingfang's words. At this time, the stepmother Jiuniang also smiled.

Yingying is always the same to everyone, like is like, dislike is not like, and Ah Shou can be the same as her, which shows that the two are matched. But on a cold day, don't talk here, and everyone will go to eat a bowl of dumplings to warm up. ”

Zhu Er agreed, and then suddenly found that because Zhang Shou's adoptive mother Wu didn't come at this time, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, who had passed in front of him, were a couple, and the third prince and the fourth prince brothers were barely able to be regarded as companions, plus his father and stepmother, brother and sister-in-law, he was the only one left. Even Mrs. Tai, who has been widowed for many years, is still accompanied by the Queen Mother today!

Therefore, when he came to Baoxia, he finally couldn't help but mutter, "When will my daughter-in-law marry into the door!" ”

Although it was just a small complaint, there were too many deaf and clear-eyed people in this room, so Zhu Er suddenly felt that his eyes fell on him, and he couldn't hide it, so he could only have an expression that I didn't say anything and didn't say anything. What followed was a chuckle from Zhu Ying.

"My future second sister-in-law was taken by Wang Datou for the New Year, and she will come back after the New Year, second brother, you don't have to worry, after February, it will be your turn to marry a daughter-in-law!"

Seeing Zhu Er standing there and only smirking, the fourth prince suddenly snorted lightly, but it was a pity that he couldn't say anything with a soup ball stuffed in his mouth, and it was easy to swallow, so he whispered: "It's not the daughter-in-law I picked with my own eyes, what's there to be happy about." Father and Emperor Lalang are just matched, in case you are managed from head to toe when you turn around, it is too late to cry! ”

Of course, the third prince heard this, and immediately warned angrily: "In the future, you must also find a woman who can control you, otherwise I am really worried that you will either come from your mouth or from your hands." ”

The fourth prince looked at the third brother who had always loved each other dumbfounded, and then hurriedly begged for mercy: "Third brother, I was wrong, can't I be wrong?" It's easy for my father to promise me to let me pick it myself in the future, but don't stuff me with a powerful woman. Especially a ...... like Sister Yingying"

"You, say, what?"

When this small voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the four princes suddenly jumped up like a frightened deer. When he saw Zhu Ying smiling brightly next to him, his first reaction was to hurriedly dodge behind the third prince, but then he felt that it was still unsafe, so he quickly added another explanation.

"Because Sister Yingying, you are such a beautiful and powerful person, only the teacher in the world today can afford to pay for it, and others are like local chickens and dogs, and they will never be put in your eyes!"

Zhu Ying had already planned to teach this kid a lesson, but when she heard this explanation, she turned her anger into joy, lost someone's expression, and then sat back again. And the fourth prince, who easily escaped, touched his chest and exhaled a long breath, and then stuffed another rice ball into his mouth, and said vaguely: "This rice ball stuffed with winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms is delicious!" ”

"Eat yours, talk less!"

The third prince glanced at people, but he could calculate the time, and seeing that the queen mother had not come out of Mrs. Tai for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little worried. It's just that sitting here, there are not so many old gentlemen who remind him how to be, and there are not so many restraints in words and deeds, so he naturally talked about the little fifth prince in the palace.

And Zhu Jing and Jiuniang also interjected from time to time when they saw the fourth prince, and even gave the child who was not yet a full moon a little chubby nickname, and they couldn't help but laugh. Of course, Concubine Yu's move of opening the door to let the brothers visit her younger brother, they also agreed with it in their hearts.

A few people were talking and eating rice balls, but when the four princes and eight rice balls were forbidden to add more, so when the dead skin asked to bring two more boxes back, the queen mother finally appeared in this small hug, although her face was a little tired, but her spirit was not bad. And Zhang quietly said to Zhu Tingfang, and left quietly as soon as possible.

There must always be someone around Mrs. Tai in Qing'an Hall to take care of, at this time, in case the Queen Mother has something to order, that is, it doesn't matter if she is not there, but the rest of the people are indispensable.

And the Queen Mother waved her hand so that everyone didn't need to be polite, and after she sat down, she said happily: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, I also brought two little ones to disturb your family's reunion, and it is also an uninvited guest, so you don't have to take us too seriously." My sister's illness, I was worried but I could only send medicine to the hospital, and I came to see it with my own eyes today, and I was relieved. ”

Speaking of this, she gradually put away her smile, and then said in a deep voice: "After the New Year, the imperial court will probably spend a lot of effort on shipbuilding, even if there are many people who oppose it, they can't take care of it. Although the Zhu family has never been a naval general, and they don't know anything about shipbuilding, you are also a well-informed person, so you need to pay more attention. ”

Zhang Shou immediately understood the extraneous tone of these words, which was nothing more than a recommendation from the Zhu family. Seeing the doubts and confusion on the faces of the brothers of the third prince and the fourth prince, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, father and son, immediately woke up, and he laughed casually.

"You can learn this kind of thing even if you don't know it well. I think that among the children of the nobles and eunuchs in the capital, they should also choose a few people to study hard, so that there will be successors in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er saw a bunch of people in the room brushing their eyes on him, first flattered, but then immediately frightened, and quickly explained: "I'm afraid of water, and I will get ......dizzy when I get on the boat."

Before he could finish speaking, he received the eyes of Zhu Ying's boss: "Second brother, no one expects you to lead the navy!" What you mean is that if you can oversee the construction of a boat or something, maybe you will be able to do it in a decade or two. ”

Zhu Er laughed embarrassedly twice, but he didn't think so at all. Zhu Gong is already a good farmer is hard enough, if he deals with any more hundred workers, won't he have to die? It is difficult to build such a thing as a French style, and it is not something that ordinary people can understand at all, and building a house is completely different from building a boat bridge, a garden, and a sea boat!

And the Queen Mother did not ignore Zhang Shou's words because of Zhu Ying's ridicule, she bowed her head slightly, and then looked at the fourth prince, and then said earnestly: "Shilang, you are a smart child, you have always been to your third brother, help your third brother, this matter cannot be presided over without the royal people, and now it happens that celebrities and celebrities are gathered in the capital, and there must be sea ships in the middle." ”

"You can learn it, and it might come in handy later."

The fourth prince opened his mouth, and then subconsciously looked at Zhang Shou, seeing that his teacher nodded lightly with a smile, he thought that he still felt a very bottomless future, and finally nodded: "As long as I can help my father and third brother, it's just to learn something, of course I'm willing." ”

Seeing that the four princes nodded, the queen mother's expression was clearly very pleased, and Zhang Shou smiled and said: "The four princes take the lead, and there are naturally people in the capital who are willing to learn." However, if such a division commander intends to settle down in Guozijian, the minister has nothing to say, otherwise if he wants, can he open a separate course in the public school? Or not just the opening of classes, it is not a problem to recruit students. ”

This is just a layer of meaning that the Queen Mother just proposed, Zhang Shou quickly thought of the next plans and arrangements, Rao is Zhu Jing already knew that his son-in-law was not a mortal, and he couldn't help but look at people twice. And Zhu Tingfang immediately echoed without thinking: "Queen Mother, the six halls in the Guozi Prison are all famous, and there are separate courses, but I am afraid that it will ......."

He paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that those prisoners who read the books of the sages wholeheartedly will regard that course as a step into the body, and when the time comes, they will become a wreck that can only talk about it, but really get started but catch the blind." ”

"Therefore, if you really plan to rebuild the big ship and sail all over the world, then the selection criteria must not be based on learning first, let alone the first choice of regional policy, shipping is related to astronomy, geography and hydrology, as well as the drawings of construction, etc., and all aspects of talent must be taken into account. Moreover, even if it is because of the previous events, it is not difficult to convince the courtiers, but the cost is huge, and it is still necessary to worry. ”

The eldest brother is so pragmatic, Zhang Shou naturally feels himself deeply, and naturally says unyieldingly: "That's right, don't look at the words of some elders in the court, the ancestral family law, and the time of the three generations of holy kings, but when they really encounter major events, the biggest reason they come up with is often that the cost is huge and they can't make ends meet." If the big ship goes to the ocean and there is no harvest at all, the result is ......"

"Then the result must be that their saliva will squirt people to death!" The fourth prince hurriedly took a sentence, and then asked with a sparkle in his eyes, "Teacher, you mean, if the imperial court really builds a big ship to go to Haidong, it will have to consider the balance of payments, right?" ”

The third prince saw that the queen mother's face suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly said: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, this is natural." But if Haidong is a wild land at all, then commerce is naturally impossible. If this is the case, is it more convincing to find out what is produced on it and walk back and forth to enrich the treasury? ”
