(0684) Sure enough, after only a while, Xu Xingxia hadn't left Qinfang Pavilion yet, and Niuniu ran over with a gust of wind. Zhu Youzhen staggered behind. Obviously, Zhu Youzhen is not Niuniu's opponent in terms of running speed. It is estimated that the two of them went around in circles in King Zhou's mansion, and they should have run a short distance. As a result, Zhu Youzhen was already so tired and out of breath that he ran and stopped, stopped and ran, and fell far behind Niuniu.

It's a niuniu, and I can't see any tiredness. She used to walk a long way to Helan Mountain to collect medicine. In terms of the kung fu of the soles of the feet, the ten Zhu Youzhen are not Niuniu's opponents. However, Zhu Youzhen was unconvinced, obviously exhausted, but he still refused to give up, and still followed Niuniu. The future Emperor Chongzhen was obviously unwilling to lose to a little girl like this.

"Big brother!" When Niuniu saw Xu Xingxia, she immediately smiled and bloomed. She jumped into Xu Xingxia's arms all of a sudden, and made a proud face at Zhu Youzhen behind her. She raced with Zhu Youzhen and easily got rid of Zhu Youzhen, which made her feel very happy. The more Zhu Youzhen refused to let go, the more positive and happy she became. As for what the other party's identity and surname are, she doesn't care at all. Everything, there is Xu Xingxia, the big brother, covering.

Zhu Youzhen is obviously not very familiar with Xu Xingxia, and he is still a little jealous of Xu Xingxia. He is young, and he naturally doesn't understand much about political matters. However, he also knew that Xu Xingxia was not a person to mess with. He is not easy to mess with, and the white-clothed army under his command is even more difficult to mess with. In case he is angered, many people, including him, will not have good fruit to eat.

Therefore, he staggered to Xu Xingxia, bent over, and kept panting. But his eyes were still staring at Niuniu. Like, Niu Niu didn't want to run away from his hands. I have to say that this little guy really has the strength to not die in the heart of the Yellow River. No wonder he was so rigid when he became the emperor.

Xu Xingxia beckoned to him and said casually, "Come over too!" ”

Niuniu pouted and said, "Brother, don't want him to come over." He doesn't have any skills. He couldn't even catch up with me. ”

Xu Xingxia continued to wave at Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly approached Xu Xingxia.

"Come on!"

Xu Xingxia picked up Zhu Youzhen and happened to have a face-to-face with Niuniu.

Niuniu suddenly stopped doing it, and hit Zhu Youzhen with a fist. Zhu Youzhen naturally can't suffer a loss, so he naturally wants to fight back. As a result, the two children, in Xu Xingxia's arms, continued to play non-stop. Both of them are not very old, and they don't have much strength in their fists, so you punch me and I punch me, which is just a gamble. It is estimated that Zhu Youzhen has never played with him like this before, so he likes it very much, and his face slowly begins to shine.

The entourage and maidservants around him, when they saw the scene in front of them, they all pretended not to see it. The people on the side of the white-clothed army naturally don't feel that there is anything wrong. Is there anything wrong with the elders and children playing and playing? Although the people from Nanjing knew that something was wrong and that some of them violated the rules of etiquette, they didn't dare to say anything. This is Xu Xingxia's territory, Xu Xingxia wants to play with Zhu Youzhen and them, where do they dare to say anything? Zhu Yilan didn't speak. As a result, Xu Xingxia kept holding the two of them and left Qinfang Pavilion before letting them go.

"Don't run!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted. It turned out that he accidentally took another punch from Niuniu. Niu Niu just punched him in the chest. He didn't want to suffer, so he immediately caught up. It's a pity that Niuniu ran fast, and disappeared in two clicks in three clicks, and he couldn't catch up. However, he never gave up the catch-up.

"This Zhu Youzhen ......," Xu Xingxia could only shake his head gently.

It is said that the age of three is eighty, and at some point, there is some truth in this sentence. Zhu Youzhen's surname was already revealed when he was playing just now. He is a lord who is unwilling to suffer, and his surname is still very stubborn. Even if he suffers defeat, he will not admit defeat easily. He'll definitely find a way to make a comeback. He firmly believes that he can defeat the other party.

However, his brain is a little tendoned and he doesn't know how to be flexible. To be precise, he doesn't think from multiple angles and likes to dig into dead ends. Once you're in it, it's hard to jump out of it. In fact, he didn't need to chase at all, he only needed a little coaxing, and Niuniu surrendered. Niuniu, a female baby, is a typical girl who eats soft but not hard, and can't stand the coaxing of others. Others use this trick to deal with Niu Niu, and they have tried it repeatedly.

…… Xu Xingxia casually walked around the Zhou Palace, and when he walked to the craftsman's workshop, he accidentally found that Dongzi and Zhu Youxiao were actually pondering carpentry. What's even more bizarre is that both of them are bare-chested. It's October weather, and it's already a little cold. But the two of them were in full swing, and they didn't care about the cold at all. On Zhu Youxiao's forehead, there were even faint beads of sweat seeping out. This guy is really energetic.

Dongzi has been doing farm work since he was a child, and he went up the mountain to chop firewood or something, so he is very familiar with all kinds of wood. Liu Guangliang is also a professional carpenter, and he has learned a little bit. In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, Dongzi is definitely the most competent playmate. Most of the other children are perfunctory, but in fact, they have no interest in carpenters at all. Only Fuyuko has a good knowledge of carpenters. It's like he's found a confidant, and he's reluctant to part with Fuyuko anymore.

After being busy for a while, the two and a half big guys got together again, muttering, and they didn't know what they were discussing. Looking at Zhu Youxiao's appearance, his expression was very happy, as if he had found a soulmate. It is no wonder that only on Xu Xingxia's side did he have the opportunity to ponder his carpentry unscrupulously. If it was in Nanjing, it was estimated that most of them would be blocked by palace maids and eunuchs. The emperor's son, the future emperor, is not good at reading and writing, and deals with wood all day long, what is this?

Xu Xingxia walked in slowly and said slowly: "Yes, it's good-looking!" ”

Zhu Youxiao was actually a little nervous in front of Xu Xingxia. For him, Xu Xingxia's identity is too complicated. He is not only his brother-in-law, but also a rebel who started a rebellion, and Xu Xingxia is at least half responsible for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhu Yilan tried his best to defend Xu Xingxia. So much so that Nanjing didn't know how to position Xu Xingxia, and he didn't know it even more. However, he still likes Xu Xingxia's praise very much.

In normal times, few people praise Zhu Youxiao's carpentry skills. The dignified crown prince actually likes to be a carpenter, what is this called? How could others praise his carpentry skills? Several of his teachers were eager to beat him up, so that from now on, he would never deal with the axe, chisel and ink bucket again. He half-convinced, "Really? ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, picked up a piece of tenon that Zhu Youxiao had planed, and said with a solemn expression: "Of course it's true, I never tell lies." Your handiwork is not as good as Fuyuko's uncle-in-law for the time being. Because, you are still too young to have the strength of an adult for the time being. There's some heavy work that you can't do yet. However, I believe that in another three or four years, you will definitely surpass him. As you know, the manual work of a carpenter requires the accumulation of experience. By the time you are twenty years old, I think you will be able to become an excellent Luban descendant. ”

Zhu Youxiao's face suddenly became longing. Seriously, he wasn't interested in anything else except carpentry. Seeing Niuniu and his younger brother chasing each other, he felt that these two little guys were simply wasting their time. It would be nice if they followed suit and learned carpentry. As for being an emperor, in a word, no interest.

Xu Xingxia took a turn in the craftsman's workshop and found that the wardrobes, bed frames, Hu beds, coffee tables, backrest chairs, Taishi chairs, footstools, bedside stools and other things made by Zhu Youxiao were of really good quality. Moreover, if you look closely, you will find that the design of the appearance of the furniture, as well as the carving of the patterns, and the painting of the paint, are quite good. Such furniture, if placed outside, should be able to sell for a good price.

Actually, this is all nonsense. Anyway, Zhu Youxiao is a member of the royal family after all, and his identity is there. Even if he is not doing his job properly, he wants to specialize in carpentry, and the relevant parties must take it seriously. The various materials he uses are certainly the best. Coupled with the craftsmanship that is really good, it would be strange if the things made were not good. As for selling furniture...... Will Zhu Youxiao be short of money? The things he made were piled up, more and more.

Xu Xingxia said with interest: "I like these furniture very much. Why don't you give me all this furniture, even if it's a wedding gift for your sister? ”

Zhu Youxiao was obviously a little surprised, and a little excited, and subconsciously said: "Huh? Is that okay? Do you really like the furniture? ”

Xu Xingxia nodded heavily and said affirmatively: "I really like it." ”

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became excited, and kept rubbing his hands, quite flattered. He said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, take whatever you need." If you need anything, tell me and I'll make it for you. ”

Honestly, there's nothing happier than having your efforts affirmed. For Zhu Youxiao, his carpentry has never been affirmed by big people. His father, his master, and even his sister and brother were all critical of his penchant for the heresy of carpentry. To say that Zhu Youxiao does not have a little pressure in his heart, it must be a lie. It's just that he really likes to be a carpenter, so he can't give up.
