Zhulan met the fourth prince first, and the fourth prince and the prince had a quartet.
Zhulan said a few words with the fourth prince, and then asked the fourth prince to lead the fourth prince to the yard of the younger son.
When the fourth prince arrived in the courtyard, his face was no longer sullen. Before anyone entered the room, he said, "Changzhong, this prince is here."
Changzhong quickly put on his shoes, waited for the fourth prince to come in, and greeted the ceremony: "I have seen the fourth prince."
The fourth prince waved his hand, "My mother said that we are relatives, you and I don't need to be more polite."
Chang Zhong smiled and didn't answer. The Zhou family and the royal family were relatives three thousand miles apart, so he was really stupid.
The fourth prince glanced at the house, his eyes were very novel, "You have a lot of novel things here. I haven't seen this boat ornament on the market. Where did you buy it?"
Chang Zhongxin said that his eyes are poisonous enough, "My second brother has been stationed in a foreign country for a few years. He bought it abroad. It is said that it was captured by a pirate ship."
Carved from a whole piece of ivory, he is very rare.
The fourth prince also liked it, and abruptly turned his eyes away. This is not the grandfather's home. He rarely goes to the grandfather's home. When he is at the grandfather's home, a look will be sent to him. This is the Zhouhou Mansion, and the mother has been instructed thousands of times. Let him befriend the Zhou family, all for the sake of the prince and the elder brother, and for him to be a free and easy king in the future, so he held back.
Chang Zhong didn't see the reluctance in the eyes of the fourth prince, who is not his own treasure, "The fourth prince, please sit down."
The fourth prince looked at the table on the kang, "You have so many kinds of fruits here."
Changzhong turned on Brother Xuan's mode, "My second brother is willing to spend money, most of which were bought from foreign businessmen. Knowing that His Highness is coming, my mother specially prepared it."
I don't mean to eat it all the time, because I'm willing to take it out because there are distinguished guests.
The fourth prince is also a prince. He has a lot of heart. Naturally, he understands it. He said enviously: "Your second brother is really generous."
It's not like his own brother is still the prince, and he is also very **** his own brother!
"Take it, Your Highness."
The fourth prince is welcome. After the little father-in-law around him has tasted it, he eats it himself. Although he is a direct son, he has a number of cases. The fruits in winter are precious and thrifty, and his division is reduced. It's not easy to eat the mother's queen, and I haven't eaten fruit so happily for a long time.
Seeing that the fourth prince liked it, Changzhong didn't touch the fruit any more, but ate nuts instead, and sighed in his heart that sometimes the fourth prince was not as comfortable as him. As the youngest son in the family, he is spoiled by his brothers, and he has no shortage of food.
In the main courtyard, Zhulan was talking to Tao Shi, Tao Shi said: "I have eaten the food from Hou's house this year, but Wang Wei has got a lot of venison. I just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and I personally sent one over. Make up for it in winter, don’t be reluctant to eat it, I’ll send it back when it’s gone.”
Zhulan, "Don't worry, I won't be polite, but did Wang Wei say when will he be back?"
"I said, I'm ready to leave and come back. They said that the errands they were responsible for have stopped. I don't know how. However, if Wang Wei is back, Yu Lu is still pregnant, so I just want to accompany Yu Lu more."
Zhulan's heart moved, it seemed that there was a change in the northeast border, and the construction project was stopped.
Zhulan thought of her granddaughter, "I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that Yulu has gained a lot of weight recently?"
"It is true that I have gained a lot of weight, and the children are not noisy. My old lady said that the bad one was an obedient girl."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows, "You think she's a girl too?"
Tao Shi sincerely hoped that it was a boy, but he couldn't say it, and said with a smile: "Girls and boys are rare, and our Wang family is also short of direct daughters!"
Zhulan smiled, the old lady and Tao Shi were saying the opposite, "You will know when you are born."
Tao Shi, "Our family is precious Yulu. Since my daughter-in-law became pregnant with Yulu, good things have been sent back to Beijing every month.
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
But don't, there will be no less conflicts when you come back.
Tao shi went back after sitting for a while, and took some fresh vegetables. Tao shi was reluctant to have great grandsons.
I got venison, and because the fourth prince came, I asked the kitchen to prepare some.
When Zhou Shuren came back in the afternoon, Zhu Lan smiled and said, "If the palace hadn't sent someone to urge him, the fourth prince would not have left."
Zhou Shuren, "The fourth prince has been here for too long this time, and it won't be easy to think about next time."
Zhulan smiled, "I just found out that this fourth prince is also a foodie, and everything is good in our family."
"The emperor is a person who sets an example. The expenses in the palace are frugal, and the proportion of the princes is reduced. The fourth prince can eat hard in our family, but he is reluctant to leave."
Zhulan, "In the future, if this fourth prince can leave the palace, he will definitely find Changzhong."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Our son knows that he will not suffer any losses."
"I'm afraid that the emperor will give Chang Zhong a red line."
Zhou Shuren pondered for a moment, "Probably not, Changzhong is the name given by the Emperor Taishang, that's enough."
Zhulan's face lightened, "That's good."
The next day, in Pinggang, Changyi was the official who greeted the envoy. When he arrived in Pinggang, he knew that there would be a wave of force to deter him. He looked at the navy in front of him, tsk tsk twice, the navy's action was big enough.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites brought envoys from various countries to see the stage. When an order was given, the artillery was ignited, and the obsolete fishing boats prepared in the distance were within range, and they sank in a short while.
Changyi's eyes widened. He took the telescope in the guard's hand and raised his eyebrows. Why did he think the range was longer?
The confusion was quickly resolved, the artillery was improved, the range was longer, the power was greater, and it was more accurate.
Changyi and other officials of the Ministry of Rites were excited and proud, which represented the strength of the court.
The faces of the envoys from various countries turned green, and the envoys who were scheming had their faces stiff. This was intentional, and it was even more annoyed.
If Zhou Shuren is here, he will have a meaningful smile Because the artillery is not the most advanced, obviously the deterrence is also reserved.
The way back to Beijing was very quiet, and the envoys from various countries were anxious and felt that the trip would not be smooth.
Changyi felt relieved, sitting in the carriage drinking tea, his demeanor was extremely relaxed, he thought he would have to work hard to deal with the inquiries from the envoys of various countries, but after being shocked, he was as quiet as a chicken.
As for the Zhou Mansion in the capital, Zhulan looked at Jiang Ping worriedly, "Your injury is just a little bit better, and it hasn't healed yet, so can't you wait until it's healed before leaving?"
Jiang Ping felt guilty but had to leave, "Grandma, the court needs information from the two countries, and I'm also worried about Jiang An."
If he hadn't escaped, he lost too much weight, and he was afraid that he would be exposed when he went back. Even if he was injured, he would not go home.
Zhulan felt distressed. She couldn't accept that either of the two grandsons had an accident, but she had no choice but to say, "Bring more medicines, pay more attention to safety, and be careful in everything. The family is waiting for you to come back."
Jiang Ping's eyes were sore, and in the end, between the country and the family, he still chose the country.
