Chapter 43: The Credit of Splashing the Sky
"Mother...Mother...!"
Just as Cao Miaozhen was packing some clothes for Deng Jie, Deng Shou and Zhao Ling sat in the hall with a smile on their faces. After less than a cup of tea, Cao Miaozhen had not come back yet.
Suddenly, a female call to her mother came from Deng Shou and Zhao Ling's ears.
This voice stunned Deng Shou, and then immediately stood up and said, "Zhao Ling... Get up quickly, this is the second concubine of the King of Qin who is back..."
"Oh...!" As soon as he heard about the second concubine of the King of Qin, Zhao Ling knew who it was, so Zhao Ling quickly stood up. After a while, he saw the second concubine of the King of Qin, Deng Le'er, walking over from the ceremony hall with King of Qin Zhu Qi.
Deng Le'er knew Deng Shou. When she saw Deng Shou in the hall, Deng Le'er immediately laughed: "Big brother is here too today..."
Deng Shou hurriedly pulled Zhao Ling and knelt down together and said in unison: "Deng Shou (Zhao Ling) pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin, and to the second concubine...!"
Deng Le'er smiled and said to Zhu Qing beside him: "Prince, these two are my father's adopted sons. The bearded one is my elder brother. Now he is Qianhu, and the other one is Brother Zhao. Now he is a hundred-household family...!"
"Oh... OK, let's get up. In this way, we are a family. For the New Year, don't kneel down and sit together..." Zhu Qing smiled and asked Deng Shou and Zhao Ling to get up.
Deng Shou was fine, but after Zhao Ling got together, he saw Zhu Qing's face. Suddenly, his whole body was in a state of excitement, because he seemed to see another person from Zhu Qing, and he thought strongly in his head.
The scene in his mind was frozen in Chenjia Village, the righteous boy.
Zhao Ling always felt that the young man in Chenjia Village looked like a noble man, and Zhao Ling couldn't remember that noble man for a moment. In fact, it was not that Zhao Ling could not remember, but because he didn't dare to think about it. There were three shadows of people in Zhu Lang's appearance together.
Zhu Lang looks four percent like Zhu Yuanzhang, three percent like Prince Zhu Biao, and three percent like Zhu Qing. If you have not seen three people at the same time, it is difficult for you to find Zhu Lang's appearance. But if you have seen these three people at the same time and met Zhu Lang again, then you can be sure that Zhu Langding is not a simple person.
"Brother Zhao...what is wrong with you? You keep staring at the prince. Could it be that there is something dirty on my prince's face?" Deng Le'er asked with a smile.
You should know that Deng Le'er is very smart. She is not accusing Zhao Ling, but helping Zhao Ling resolve the crisis, because there is one thing in the Ming Dynasty that is that you cannot keep staring at the superiors. This way, staring at the superiors is called disrespect.
If Zhu Qing is unhappy, it will be troublesome.
So Deng Le'er reminded Zhao Ling with a joke. After this sound, Zhao Ling quickly knelt down and said in panic: "Please forgive me for your crime. I only saw Your Highness for the first time and admired her in my heart, so I lost my composure."
"Yes, please forgive me. Zhao Ling had been looking forward to Your Highness for the first time when he saw Your Highness, so he had been admiring you for a long time. This is why he had done something wrong just now. Please forgive me!" Deng Shou also knelt down.
"Haha..." Zhu Qing laughed and said, "It's all a family, let's see what a big deal. After all, it's the first time we meet. It's okay, it's okay..." Zhu Qing showed greatness and waved his hands repeatedly to ignore it.
At this time, Cao Miaozhen also packed up his things and came out. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law come together, Cao Miaozhen knew that the two knew that they were in a bad mood, so they came to see him. But it should be more of Zhu Yuanzhang's grace, because if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's care, they would not dare to come to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
"Greetings to His Highness, the Second Concubine...!"
"Oh... Mother, please come up, family, family..." Zhu Qing quickly supported Cao Mianzhen who was about to bow down.
Deng Le'er also hurried to Cao Miaozhen and said, "Mother, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good...very good..." Cao Miaozhen happily patted her daughter's hand, and then said with a smile: "Your Brother Zhao is going to Suzhou soon, and you will pass by Dangtu this time, so my mother asked your Brother Zhao to bring some things over this time..."
"Brother Zhao is going to Suzhou... I'm really envious." Deng Le'er looked at Zhu Qing with a smile and said, "Prince, when can we go to Suzhou? I heard that Suzhou is the richest place."
Zhu Qing smiled and said, "If you have the chance... Next time we go and talk to our mother, we may enfeoff our fiefdom to Suzhou."
"That's great..." Deng Le'er smiled happily.
Cao Miaozhen also smiled faintly, but didn't say much. Soon, Cao Miaozhen spread the topic and put the things he had packed for Deng Jie in front of Zhao Ling, and then asked Zhao Ling to bring these things to Deng Jie.
Zhao Ling quickly agreed, and then took these things with Deng Shou and left the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Because Zhu Qing arrived, they could not stay in the Duke's Mansion for more.
After coming out, Deng Shou looked at the things in Zhao Ling's hand and smiled: "Mrs. Still thinking about her son, but Deng Le'er is really a bit difficult."
"Oh..." Zhao Ling looked at Deng Shou and said, "Brother, can you hear it?"
"I'm not a fool... and Le'er and I grew up together. Her mind is no better than her appearance. You, don't be confused by Xiao En Xiaohui. Remember, you must be far away from Deng Le'er. This is a advice from my elder brother to you."
"Thank you, brother, I understand..." Zhao Ling looked at Deng Shou with gratitude.
"By the way..." Deng Shou said again: "Why did you lose your composure just now? You have been staring at the King of Qin. You must know that the King of Qin is not easy to meet...!"
"Brother..." Hearing Deng Shou's question, Zhao Ling also wanted to find someone to talk to, so he told Deng Shou about what he saw when he was in Chenjia Village, and he emphasized that Zhu Lang's face had three characteristics, His Majesty, His current crown prince and His current Qin King.
These words shocked Deng Shou directly. After looking around, he pulled Zhao Ling aside and asked in a low voice: "Can you be sure?"
"Brother...I'm definitely sure that since I first met that person, I felt that this person looked like a noble person, but I couldn't remember that he was a specific person.
But today when I saw the King of Qin, I was sure that it was wrong for me to feel that that person was like a noble person. He was not like one person, but like three people, so I couldn’t be sure for a while.”
"This is strange. I didn't hear that His Majesty has any descendants now?" Deng Shou scratched his head.
"That's not?" Zhao Ling looked at Deng Shou in disappointment.
However, Deng Shou said cautiously: "You can't be so arbitrary. Do you still remember Dong Zheng..."
"Remember...that guy, fighting is worthless." Zhao Ling nodded quickly, and a big bearded face appeared in his mind. The big bearded man likes to drink the most, but he is also very hard in war and dares to fight for it.
"He is now the prince's guard. After you leave, I will talk to him. This matter is a bit big. We don't want to make a statement now. If you really guess it, then this is the credit for the sky."
After saying that, Deng Shou showed an excited look.
