Chapter 130 The Thirteenth Master’s Visit
This is a surprise inspection. Everyone in the Beijing camp did not receive the news in advance, so what they saw was the most realistic situation.
Although I am not a professional, with the experience of Zhu Jinghong and his two generations, I have also discovered many unreasonable things.
For example, there are major or minor problems in the management and maintenance of guns and artillery, personnel training and equipment.
After some suggestions from Zhu Jinghong, everyone in Jingying learned something and were thinking about how to improve.
In this way, half of the afternoon passed before Zhu Jinghong drove back to the palace.
After returning home, he learned that Zhu Jingyuan was still being pestered by foreign officials and was actually attending a show at the moment.
In order to curry favor with the prince, these local officials did everything within the scope of their power to the limit, and they did not know how much manpower and material resources they would spend.
Of course, these are all tricks played by civil servants. All the military generals of Jiangbei Dusi were squeezed out after paying homage, and they went back to where they were supposed to be.
When Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, he saw Yinglian coming over, holding tea in her hand.
"Thirteenth Master, you have tea"
Taking the tea cup, he sat back on the chair and asked, "You didn't go to see Miss Xue"
< p>"Look, this slave is not going to school anymore. In the past, she just went on the road. Now that she is stationed in the palace, how can she not stay and serve the Thirteenth Master?""How should I serve you?" Zhu Jinghong said He smiled and pulled Yinglian into his arms.
"Thirteenth Master, this is not good in broad daylight."
Yinglian struggled a little, obviously feeling ashamed, because there were more than a dozen eunuchs inside and outside the hall.
Zhu Jinghong looked indifferent, "What's going on in broad daylight? It's not just the two of us."
Hearing this, the little eunuchs didn't understand what it meant, so they exited the hall one after another. .
After letting Yinglian go and letting her get up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Tell me what you have learned in the past two days."
"Tell me what you have learned in the past two days." After reading the Book of Songs, Miss Xue said that it happened more than two thousand years ago."
While talking, Yinglian squatted down and squeezed his legs, making Zhu Jinghong feel particularly comfortable.
After listening for a while, Zhu Jinghong suddenly said, "Miss Xue taught me so well, how can we not thank her?"
"Deng An"
Didn't wait. When Yinglian reacted, Zhu Jinghong shouted outside, and Deng An hurried in.
"Thirteenth Master, your instructions"
"Go to the palace warehouse and choose some good things. I will go and thank Yinglian"
" Ah this"
Even an unprincipled person like Deng An felt that Zhu Jinghong's behavior was a bit too condescending.
Allowing the Xue family to live in the palace is already a great courtesy, so why bother giving them things.
The difference between Deng An and others is that even if he feels it is inappropriate, he will not hesitate to do so.He hesitated to execute, so Zhu Jinghong called him.
"I will do it immediately"
Watching Deng An leave, Zhu Jinghong murmured in a low voice, "Speaking of the last rescue, I haven't officially thanked them yet"
p>
The last time he had a funeral, it was to prevent the emperor from knowing the truth, so that the accompanying guards and local officials would not be punished, and innocent people would be implicated.
Therefore, the contributions made by the Xue family cannot be mentioned, and neither the government nor Zhu Jinghong have commended them.
There are about thirty female members of the Xue family living in a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the palace.
After coming in and working for a long time, I finally put everything in order. Suddenly, another young eunuch came to tell him that Zhu Jinghong would be coming soon.
So everyone in the Xue family, who had not yet breathed, was busy again, cleaning the tables, chairs, utensils, and the corners of the floor two or three times in a row.
As a result, this remote corner became completely new in the blink of an eye.
Now Zhu Jinghong values the Xue family, and he still has the friendship to rescue them before, so Aunt Xue is not worried that this time Zhu Jinghong's visit is a bad thing.
But what worries Aunt Xue now is how her Xue family will welcome the dignified prince Zhu Jinghong.
Xue Baochai also felt uneasy after hearing her mother's worries, but she still persuaded her by saying, "Mom, just kneel down to welcome them all."
They all went out to greet them on their knees. The best that can be achieved cannot be more humble than this.
"That's all it can do"
As for how to entertain, there is no way to think about it. Good tea, good fruits and good pastries can be served.
After cleaning up, everyone in the Xue family gathered together and stood in line at the door of the yard, quietly waiting for Zhu Jinghong's arrival.
I thought I could have a good rest after entering the palace, but no one expected that such a thing would happen.
No matter when, waiting with pressure is painful.
Looking at the sun setting in the west, the half hour of waiting seemed longer than a day.
At this moment, Aunt Xue's back was sore from standing, but she couldn't go in to rest, for fear that Zhu Jinghong would arrive next moment.
The same is true for Xue Baochai, but she is young after all and her legs, feet and arms can still hold on.
"Madam, here we come"
The mother-in-law's reminder shocked everyone in the Xue family. Under Aunt Xue's command, everyone in the Xue family knelt down one after another.
When Zhu Jinghong's sedan chair approached, Deng An opened the curtain for him. Under the leadership of Aunt Xue, everyone in the Xue family kowtowed.
"Kowtow to the Thirteenth Master"
Everyone in the Xue family kowtowed their heads to the ground, once, twice or even three times, and then waited for Zhu Jinghong's instructions.
Zhu Jinghong accepted all this calmly. He knew very well that if he refused, it would only make the Xue family more embarrassed.
Zhu Jinghong did not dress formally, but changed into a gray moire round-neck robe, with only a net on his head.With her hair tied up in a scarf, she looks more casual and at home.
After getting out of the sedan, Zhu Jinghong stood in front of everyone and said slowly, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Master Thirteen."
With Xue Baochai's support, Aunt Xue stood up slowly, and then moved to the left to get out of the way.
Zhu Jinghong did not hesitate. Surrounded by a group of eunuchs, he entered the courtyard, which was not very large.
There are obvious signs of cleaning up inside, and it can be seen that the Xue family has put their best efforts into it.
Zhu Jinghong entered the main hall directly and took the main seat without hesitation, while everyone in the Xue family stayed outside.
The most embarrassing thing was the Xue family's mother and daughter. They were supposed to come in to greet them, but Zhu Jinghong did not summon them, and they did not dare to enter the hall without permission.
"You two are standing outside the door, please come in as landlords."
With these words, the Xue family's mother and daughter came in and saluted Zhu Jinghong again.
"That's all, it's troublesome to kneel down here and there"
"How dare I, how dare you"
Aunt Xue insisted on saluting, seeing how trembling they looked , Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to let them go.
After the mother and daughter kowtowed, Zhu Jinghong said, "Mrs. Xue, please sit down."
"How dare I?"
At this time, Aunt Xue Neither standing nor sitting, I was so nervous that I didn’t even know how to place my hands.
Looking at Xue Baochai, who was relatively calm, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "Miss Xue, help your mother sit down."
"Yes"
Hold himself Mother, Baochai said warmly, "Mother, Thirteenth Master asked you to sit down. Wouldn't it be rude if you refused?"
"Yes, thank you, Thirteenth Master"
Xue, who was originally in good health Auntie, she seems to be hemiplegic at the moment. If it weren't for Baochai, she wouldn't even be able to walk.
Aunt Xue leaned over and sat down, and Baochai stood behind her.
At this time, a young eunuch brought hot tea. He had brought his own food and drink, so the Xue family had no chance to entertain him.
Indicating Aunt Xue to drink tea, Zhu Jinghong put down the teacup, and then said, "I came here this time mainly for three things." Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, find and add books for free You can add QQ group 952868558
