Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4 Meeting the King of Qin
A group of people followed eagerly, and after a while, they arrived at the courtyard.

Chopping firewood, lighting a fire, fetching water, kneading dough, it's a lot of work.

"Sovereign, you eat first!"

Although the group dressed like beggars, the first steamed steamed bun was dedicated to Zhu Yixi.

The steamed buns are yellowish white, soft and hard.

As the enshrinement of King Heyang's branch, the nominal suzerain, he is qualified to take the first bite.

"Okay!" Looking at Shisan's dirty face, bright eyes, and joy at the beggar-like crowd, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but bite hard.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Cry for an egg, big head."

A certain thin man couldn't help biting the steamed bun, cursing, "When tears fall on the steamed bun, it will be bitter."

Zhu Datou lives up to his name, with a smile on his simple and honest face, busy eating: "Sweet, the steamed buns are so sweet!!"

"Big one, eat quickly!"

The thin and small man also nodded, grabbed and bit with both hands, and ate from left to right.

"Both the big head and the big one are orphans, they depend on each other for life."

Thirteen said with some pity: "Thirty, and there is no mother or aunt."

"Crack!" Zhu Yixi slapped him on the head with a smile, and said, "I am ashamed to say that you are also an orphan, you are poor, and there is nothing you can do."

"Hey!" The thirteen-eyed eyes rolled and said with a smile, "Don't we have a suzerain? Without you, I would have starved to death."

"It's good to know, let's eat quickly!"

Zhu Yixi waved his hands in a funny way, and began to eat on his own. In front of people, he still wanted to show face, and he didn't gobble up like Shisan.

Eighteen people steamed half a bag of flour, which was about twenty catties, and ten fist-sized steamed buns were made out of one catty of flour, about two hundred.

After everyone gobbled it up, there were less than forty left.

In other words, nine steamed buns per capita.

Looking at the pregnant bellies in October, Zhu Yixi was amazed: "You should eat less, remember, don't drink water when you go back, your stomach will be full."

"Yes!" Everyone supported their waists with satisfaction on their faces.

"Sovereign, this is the most full meal we have ever eaten in our life." Zhu Datou hurriedly said, his face was full of emotion.

"Sovereign, when will we eat next time?" Big Zhu leaned over and asked on tiptoe.

"Next time, I have a chance!" Zhu Yixi waved his hand. These big-bellied men really cannot be supported by ordinary people.

A few people laughed and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

At this time, there were only a few family members who bent over, gritted their teeth, leaned over, and said with shame on their faces: "Sovereign, can you give us a few steamed buns to give mothers, aunts and children some insight."

Zhu Yixi let out a long sigh.

When did eating steamed buns become the most anticipated thing of the clan?
Zhu Yuanzhang, did you ever think about this situation?
"You five, each take five back!"

"Thank you suzerain, thank you suzerain, suzerain has a long life without bounds!"

Several people bent down hurriedly, respectfully said words of blessing, weeping with gratitude.

At this moment, he was as humble as an ant.

"Is Zhu Yixi still there?" At this moment, the dilapidated door suddenly creaked, and a man walked over arrogantly.

He looked like 27, with moccasin boots, a good cotton jacket, and a felt hat on his head. His skin was fair, and his face was full of disgust.

It seems to have entered the yard, as if fallen into a mud pit.

Compared with the imperial clan in the courtyard, they are like natural nobles.

In Zhu Yixi's mind, a memory flashed in an instant - Qin Wangfu was greedy and contemptuous of Guanshi Feng.

"Guard Feng, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yixi cupped his hands without panic, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

"Huh——" Feng Youcai was taken aback. It's amazing why this kid has lost his usual flattery and is not afraid of himself.

"Your Highness calls you over!" Feng Youcai restrained his attitude a bit, and said contemptuously, "Tsk tsk, you are famous in Xi'an city this morning!"

As he said that, he didn't even look at it anymore, he shook his sleeves, covered his nose, and walked on tiptoe. The muddy ground made him extremely uncomfortable, and he was afraid that he might get a little dirty.
A pair of buckskin boots can be worth tens of taels of silver.

"Sect Master?" Thirteen shrank his neck and asked with concern.

As a branch of Qin Fan, the lord of the feudal clan is the King of Qin. Whether it is naming, succession, weddings and funerals, it is basically his decision, equivalent to the patriarch, who can be punished with a word.

The current king of Qin, Zhu Cunji, is still his nephew according to his seniority.

"It's okay!" Zhu Yixi shook his head, thinking about countermeasures: "Don't worry, it's okay, you stay at home."

The rest of the clan, when they heard King Qin's name, were afraid to raise their heads. Only Zhu Datou and Zhu Dagu came forward with their chests upright: "Sect Master, we will go with you!"

"No, the two of you stay and look at the food, don't let anyone snatch it away."

Zhu Yixi didn't panic at all, and calmly ordered: "Go and get two buckets of grain, and exchange them for willow leaves, as much as you can."

"Sovereign, food is much more delicious than willow leaves." Zhu Datou shook his head and said seriously.

"Stupid, the sect wants willow leaves. Naturally, there are uses for him, so let's do it!" Big Zhu patted his head and said angrily.

"Hey!" Touching his head, Zhu Datou smirked.

Thirteen is loyal, the big one is honest and honest, and the big one is smart.

There are only three available people in such a huge clan.

Zhu Yixi looked at it, filled with emotion in his heart.

Immediately, he stepped over the threshold and headed towards Prince Qin's mansion.

The King Qin Palace of the Ming Dynasty was located in the northeast corner of Xi’an City, where the Qin Dynasty’s “No. [-] Fan in the World” was located. Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen was ordered to build the Palace of King Qin on the basis of the former site of the Zhudaoxing Yushitai Office in Shaanxi in the Yuan Dynasty. year.

The palace city is ten miles away, with high and thick walls, deep and wide rivers, and more than nine hundred rooms.

During the walk, it is not much better than the Forbidden City in later generations, but it is less solemn and more interesting.

After passing the Chengyun Hall and arriving at the garden area, Zhu Yixi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chengyun Hall is in harmony with the Fengtian Hall in Nanjing. It is the place where the King of Qin handles government affairs and is more serious.

The garden is a place to relax and relax. Looking at it this way, it is natural to understand that King Qin did not blame too much.

On both sides of the pond, begonias are red, pear blossoms are white, tender pistils are fragrant, and old junipers are green. Among them, "thousand cypresses" have a thousand branches and are very lovely.

And just beside the pond, there was a thin figure, this is the young Qin King Zhu Cunji, fishing.

Zhu Yixi stopped, and the eunuch went over to mutter a few words softly, and then he approached slowly, not daring to breathe.

Zhu Cunji wears a scarlet round-neck gown with four dragons adorning the chest, back and left and right shoulders, so it is also called "Gunlong Robe".

Refer to the Korean royal clothing, the prince, the county king, and the son are all the same.

Clothes were loose, hair was tied up with ribbons, the young King Qin was obviously in a good mood.

"Zhu Yixi greets Your Highness!"

Worshiping with hands in hand, although it is reasonable that King Qin is a nephew's generation, but the status is there.

"Get up!"

King Qin waved his hand, turned his head, with a fair and young face, with a smile in his eyes: "I heard that you gave Sun Chuanting a lot of embarrassment this morning, and asked for money and food?"
