C13 (1/2)

After hurriedly eating 3 bowls of meat porridge, Second Elder Brother Zhu returned to his room to rest. No matter how anxious he was, he had to sleep. Furthermore, he was mentally exhausted and had a strong control over his body, allowing him to fall asleep at any moment.

The pitiful secret service of the Ming Dynasty youth saw that Second Elder Brother Zhu fell asleep the moment he laid down, swore at him, and sneaked out.

In the main room, Master and Servant Wu and Second Elder Brother Zhu were flipping through the books that Second Elder Brother Zhu had copied. Both of their eyes were filled with shock. He wrote it with a hard brush, and the handwriting was smooth and natural. Even more so, it was written on a piece of white paper. The lines of words were arranged neatly, and it looked extremely beautiful.

”Congratulations old master, second brother is a genius!”

Zhu Yisu was also happy. He reluctantly put down the 'Analects of Confucius' in his hand and said: ”You old servant sure know how to talk. Tomorrow morning I will go to the Continent's Capital to purchase a betrothal gift. I will pay a visit the day after tomorrow. ”

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Yisu went to the window and looked at the starry sky. He sighed with emotion and said, ”My son has such perseverance and determination. As a father, I am lacking in care of Jiro. If we don't help Jiro, with his personality, he might really take the risk and run away. ”

”Second brother understands the meaning of 'Master loves his son with his punches and punches'. If second brother was a bit older, he definitely wouldn't have made things so difficult for the old master. ”

”Forget it, Erlang 1 wants to marry young lady of Lee Family. The marriage between him and the family of generals cannot be left unattended. Tomorrow, this old man will also go to the Continent's Capital. My elder brother had three sons who were good at martial arts, so it was only a matter of time before he would cause trouble for the people. Prepare some gifts, this old man will choose a son to accept under my knee and help second brother. ”

What did he mean by 'all good things are martial arts'? To put it bluntly, he was a group of people who had eaten their fill and were bullying the common people.

Zhao Qi frowned as he bowed and said, ”Master, this is not appropriate.”

The two of them had been together for nearly three years, and their relationship was deep. Zhao Qi naturally cared about Second Elder Brother Zhu, who had grown up.

Zhu Yisu's intention was very simple, to find a nephew to adopt as a son. Then, he would give this new son of his to marry a woman from the Datong Town Clan over, so that he could integrate into the Datong Town system.

It was true that he had integrated himself into the border army system, but this new young master had his own wife behind him, so he would definitely press down on Second Elder Brother Zhu. Maybe Second Elder Brother Zhu would suddenly die or fall into the water or something just for the sake of an heir of thousands of families.

The internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty were all for the sake of attacking the nobles. The eldest son, in order to inherit the title, could slander his son as unfilial and even dare to slander his son as having an affair with his biological father and concubine.

”If Jiro can't even hold a single bastard son, how can he start a new career? You old servant, just wipe your eyes and don't let Jiro capsize. Even as your father, I have the heart to gamble, so you don't have to persuade me anymore. ”

Ye Zichen waved his hand and got Zhao Qi to leave.

Zhu Yisu took a sip of tea and flipped open his son's copy of 'Moderation'. He liked it and shook his head to himself, ”For 'Moderation' to be so sharp, a mere bastard is nothing to worry about.”

He had no other choice. When it came to taking over the Xinping Fort, Second Elder Brother Zhu was unwilling to marry into the family of generals, so his only option was to stay with him. He didn't dare to marry her not because of his dead wife, but for Second Elder Brother Zhu's sake.

If Zhu Yisu were to marry the girl from the family of generals, she would surely be the main wife. Then the child that is born is the second son that is born, this is the existence that will threaten Second Elder Brother Zhu. When the back of his hand was full of meat, how would Zhu Yisu choose?

The teachings of Emperor Taizu were inherited by his direct son. As long as Second Elder Brother Zhu survived, he would not be in trouble. Without a good excuse, even the emperor wouldn't be able to strip Second Elder Brother Zhu of his inheritance right.

Zhu Yisu also wanted to marry his wife. Otherwise, if there was no one in the inner chamber, it would be troublesome to deal with his colleagues.

On the morning of the 41st of June, Master and Servant of Zhu Yisu brought two pebbles of white rice and silver and headed to Daizhou City. Second Elder Brother Zhu ate and drank to his heart's content, then continued to transcribe the remaining five scriptures.

That unlucky teenager, secret service of the Ming Dynasty, brought enough rations for the cat to sleep on the roof beams early today. Father and brother could also be considered as members of the Qi Family Army, so they followed the troops and left for war, dying in the battle of Salten.

Today, the Lee Family was very busy, cleaning up to the point where it was spotless.

Old Man Lee Family did not go out to pick medicinal herbs this day. The Li Brothers were even at home bathing in incense, waiting for Zhu Yisu to come and propose marriage. The two Lee Family Sisters were also in a hurry, waiting until Zhu Yisu didn't come to visit at noon. Even the matchmaker didn't come, so they couldn't help but be anxious inside, thinking that Second Elder Brother Zhu was joking with them.

At noon, Zhu Yisu and his son returned with an ox-cart. Two stones of rice were delivered to his brother's home, not to mention his elder brother's name, when he inherited his father as a first lieutenant, he was one level higher than Zhu Yisu.

The difference of 1 level was nothing, the imperial government had set a limit of 3 stones per year, but it was actually 945 stones per year. However, the family was prosperous. Other than a legal and proper wife, there was also a concubine that had been secretly built. ”This kind of concubine who did not have a clan record jade letter was a black account, and her son was born with a black account number. She would never have the chance to have a clan record jade letter in her life.

There were three legitimate sons, two concubines and three daughters. He also had two wives, so even though imperial duke was a bit taller than ten stones, Zhu Yisu, the eldest brother, and a son lived in poverty. This didn't even count the 3 children who died young …

This trip had also brought back a skinny boy, Zhu San, who was 12 years old and not as tall as Second Elder Brother Zhu.
