Chapter 132 Before leaving (1)
Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was half past July, and the disaster relief grain transferred from Nanjing finally arrived. Each vassal king's fiefdom could get 100,000 stones, which might be life-saving food for King Ning. But for Zhu Di, it was optional, because the millet in the field had been harvested. According to the statistics of the grain officials, about 250,000 stones were collected, and later Zhu Di sent someone to send 50,000 stones to his brothers around him.
I heard that when the people in Peking collected the rice dumplings, they all burst into tears and were grateful to Zhu Di. Because Zhu Di not only gave them a harvest, but also exempted them from taxes this year. All the harvested rice dumplings were all in their own granary. If they were to tighten their food, they should be able to survive this year's drought.
The millet was originally ripe twice a year, but now the two dams are only half of the water left. If you plant it for another season, there will probably be no harvest. Therefore, the people are planting some vegetables with short growth cycles in the field. If you only eat millet, your body may not be able to bear it.
Those outsiders who escaped were envious of the prince Zhu Di in Peking. He not only saved the city of Beiping from becoming a disaster area under drought, but also regularly released food to all victims every day. Although there was only one meal, it could save tens of thousands of victims.
The grain harvest was completed, and the people stopped robbing water, so Zhu Neng could go home. This guy hadn't returned home for three months and stayed on the dam, sleeping in the open air, and his beard grew a lot.
I was going home to admit my mistake. After all, three months have passed, and my wife's anger should have been relieved. As soon as she returned home, her wife Liu hugged Zhu Neng and cried bitterly, calling him a heartless person who was so close to home that she hadn't been home for three months.
Liu also said, if you like a girl from another place, just marry her. She is not a stingy person. The Zhu family is so big that it can still tolerate someone.
Zhu Neng was stunned for a long time. If Zhu Yong hadn't pushed him, he wouldn't have known to enter the house. So after three months of separation, an old couple had a good time. Zhu Neng swore that he would never go to the fireworks place again and would treat Liu well for the rest of his life.
When Hu Ye heard Zhu Yong telling his father's story, he suddenly felt that Zhu Neng, a slut, was still kind and loyal, and then patted Zhu Yong on the shoulder. "Your father will have great achievements in the future."
Zhu Yong admired Hu Ye and was so arrogant that he taught him some tricks that time, but this guy secretly ran to Zuiyue Tower to try it, which made the girl scold the little pervert. Since then, he has been respectful to Hu Ye and never demolished Hu Ye's platform again, which has made Liu Pu depressed for a long time.
Zhu Gaoxu's violent temperament has become much more restrained. He listened to Hu Ye telling the story of Journey to the West every day. At first, he was very yearning for Sun Wukong's rebelliousness, but later he was gradually influenced by the master-disciple relationship between Tang Seng and Sun Wukong. He also became more fond of studying. He used to not listen to classes, but now he is the first to enter the school every day, and his studies are the most serious. Hu Ye believes that if this young man with rebellious genes can be made to be lost, he can really be regarded as a great merit.
Xianning and An Cheng are no longer free from Hu Ye. If they don’t listen to Hu Ye telling stories every day, they won’t be able to sleep at night.
Zhu Gaoxi is much better and can do many things she can't do before. She looks much more vigorous. Whenever Zhu Di sees Zhu Gaoxi making fun of these children and playing with Hu Ye, he is extremely happy. Xu Miaoyin next to him lies on Zhu Di's shoulder and crying, making her happy for her son, leaving tears of happiness.
Zhu Gaochi is no longer as fat as before, and now he is not as fat as before. In addition to taking medicine according to the prescription given by Lou Ying, he will also shoot Zheng Erwu twice under Zhu Di's arrangement.
Yingxue can no longer live without Hu Ye. She pestered Hu Ye all day long, asking him to reveal the content of tomorrow's story so that he could show off to Xianning and the others. However, every time he was greeted, Hu Ye rolled his eyes, so he quickly distanced himself from her. This is the Yan Palace, and Zhu Di's eyes could be seen.
Li Yangming was very dedicated and recorded all the stories Hu Ye told every day, and was about to write them into a notebook. He also told Hu Ye that he would bind the story into a book and then take it to publish it. The author was naturally Hu Ye.
However, Hu Ye refused on the grounds that the story is incomplete. He had already stolen Wu Chengen's story. If this story is published, it would be a bit too unkind.
The story is incomplete, so of course it is necessary to complete it. So today Hu Ye unexpectedly called Yingxue over and told Yingxue the finale of Journey to the West tomorrow, asking her to tell everyone stories tomorrow.
Yingxue was very happy at first, but she felt something was getting worse. As soon as Hu Ye finished speaking, she grabbed Hu Ye's arm, "Brother Hu Ye, are you hiding something from me? Tell me quickly, otherwise I won't let you go."
Before Hu Ye could answer, Li Yangming spoke, "Okay, let's finish this class today. I have something to announce."
The little babies all cheered up and listened attentively.
"From tomorrow, Hu Ye will not attend classes with you. He will go to Nanjing to participate in the imperial examination." Li Yangming said.
"Why, isn't the imperial examination only started in mid-August? There is still one month left, why are you leaving tomorrow?" Xianning stopped doing it, and the story was so exciting that he could make Hu Ye leave like this. Isn't it okay to be a few days late?
An Cheng, who has always been very quiet, started a fuss this time, "Teacher, can Hu Ye stay for a few more days? We don't listen to his stories and can't sleep at night."
Yingxue finally knew something was wrong. It turned out that Hu Ye told her the ending because he wouldn't come tomorrow. How could she do it? She hugged Hu Ye's waist and said in a crying voice, "Brother Hu Ye, I don't want you to leave. Don't you want to participate in the imperial examination, okay? Just stay with us, okay?"
While crying, Yingxue wiped tears on Hu Ye's back and gave a wink at Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu. Both of them also asked Hu Ye to stay.
Zhu Yong and Liu Pu also advised each other, saying that the future is long, so why should I take the imperial examination at the age of twelve and go again next year? Wouldn't it be easier to pass?
Xianning is a ghost elf. Seeing Yingxue hugging Hu Ye's waist, she rushed up and hugged Hu Ye's neck. Hu Ye only felt a fragrance swelling, either pushing or not pushing. This is the princess, and she will become a princess in the future.
"Hu Ye, I order you not to leave, or I will ask my father to break your legs." Xianning also said in a crying voice.
Zhu Di came, but he was not here to break Hu Ye's leg, he was here to save Hu Ye.
"Nothing! Nothing! Get out of here!"
Zhu Di came to the primary school and shouted loudly. Xu Miaoyin, Zhu Gaochi and others were followed.
His words worked very well. Xianning and Yingxue quickly let go of Hu Ye and stood behind with grievance.
"Father, I beg you to let Hu Ye stay. He is still young and has time to go to the imperial examination in the future. Why bother to hurry up?" An Cheng came to Zhu Di, grabbed Zhu Di's arm, and said coquettishly.
Zhu Di reached out and stroked An Cheng's head. This child and Zhu Gaoxi were the two he loved the most. She had never asked for anything to him. She didn't expect that this child would come to ask for him for Hu Ye. Does Hu Ye have such a great influence on his child?
"Yes, Father, Brother Hu Ye is very nice to us. His story is very nice. Just let him stay. We promise to study hard and never make trouble again." Zhu Gaoxi also stood up at this time and begged Zhu Di to keep Hu Ye.
But seeing that Zhu Di had no reaction, he pulled Xu Miaoyin's hand again, looking at Xu Miaoyin with big eyes, hoping that his mother would say something to Zhu Di.
Seeing that his two most obedient children were about to keep Hu Ye, the naughty Xianning cried into tears. Even Zhu Gaoxu, who was the most difficult to serve, seemed to want to speak, and Zhu Di felt in his heart.
Hu Ye didn't want to go to Nanjing, but Zhu Baba's imperial edict had already been delivered, and Zhu Di agreed, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to go. Now even if Zhu Di wanted to repent, it was too late. Could it be that he wanted to write a letter to his father and emperor that his children were reluctant to leave, so he told Hu Ye not to go to the imperial examination?
"Okay, don't mess around anymore. Hu Ye's trip to Nanjing for imperial examinations this time was the intention of your emperor's grandfather, not that I can decide. Besides, he is not coming back, why are you crying?" Zhu Di said loudly.
"We've all dispersed for me. This is the royal palace. What's the point of crying?" Zhu Di decided to cut the mess quickly. Hu Ye had to spy on him when he went there. He couldn't break his plan just because a few children were reluctant to leave.
"Miaoyin, Gao Chi, you guys accompany the child. I have something to talk about with Hu Ye." Zhu Di said to Xu Miaoyin, and then said to Hu Ye, "Hu Ye, come with me to the inner hall, I have something to say to you."
Hu Ye was helpless. It seemed that this trip to Nanjing was inevitable. He turned around and looked at Yingxue, and found that there were still tears in her eyes. He gave her a look and asked them to return to Zhang's mansion first. Then Hu Ye followed Zhu Di's footsteps and walked towards the inner hall of the palace.
The inner hall Hu Ye has been here several times, but this time he feels a little sad. Maybe this is the last time he has come. When he comes next time, this place may not be the Yan Prince's Mansion, and it may have become an imperial palace by then. No, it should be called the Forbidden City.
Hu Ye knew that he went there this time, no matter whether he won or not, he might not be able to come back to Peking in the past few years. If you want to see those people outside again, you probably have to wait until Zhu Di becomes emperor, and you will inevitably feel a little emotional.
"Hu Ye, how confident are you to pass the imperial examination now?" As soon as you entered the inner hall, Zhu Di asked straight to the point.
"Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents. I am just a half-baked student. I really dare not say that I am the one who won the exam." Hu Ye said truthfully.
"Don't be discouraged, just take the exam with your heart. I think even if you fail the exam, your father will use it more. But there are a few things you must not forget." Zhu Di comforted Hu Ye, but then said a little warning.
"Your Highness, please speak, the grass-roots are just listening." Hu Ye answered respectfully. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
