C7 (2/2)

He hurriedly brought it over and blew on it. After drinking a mouthful, he finally regained 1 point of consciousness. Li Xiumei had nothing to entertain Second Elder Brother Zhu with. She carried over a plate of fried soybeans and a plate of fried beans before leaving for lunch.

In this era, people usually only ate two meals and saved lunch.

For a meal of white rice, scrambled eggs with leek and fried tofu, these were the only dishes. Second Elder Brother Zhu didn't feel too good about this meal. A man and a woman must have had all sorts of conversations to get close to each other. But in ancient times, people didn't talk when they ate.

It could be said that Lee Yuvniang didn't want to talk much about it, so she decided to find a topic to talk about. Lee Yuvniang just wanted to let him eat instead of having a good chat. After this meal, Second Elder Brother Zhu said in a tone of agreement, ”Sis Yuvniang, from now on, it's not good to come to your place every day to eat. ”How about you give the medicine to Jiro and let him fry it himself.”

”No, second brother is afraid of suffering. If you give this medicine to second brother, then it'll be useless.”

Who would dare to give the medicinal herb to Second Elder Brother Zhu? If he found out that the medicine bag was full of yellow lotuses, wouldn't he be exposed? Besides, there was no problem with the medicine. The girl wouldn't give the medicine to Second Elder Brother Zhu, this thoughtful young man, in case this guy lost the medicine.

Feeling dejected, Second Elder Brother Zhu said in a low voice, ”Then I'll make lunch tomorrow and bring it to Sis Yuvniang when you come.”

Beneath the bamboo hat, the girl blinked in surprise and said, ”Erlang knows how to cook?”

”He's still learning. Yesterday, he gave his father a taste of Erlang craftsmanship. My father was full of praises. I'll also invite Sis Yuvniang to have a taste.

”If second brother is interested, why don't you bring more? Tomorrow, Yuvniang will ask my sister to help second brother out.”

It was just a matter of not knowing each other too much. Second Elder Brother Zhu agreed immediately and said goodbye to Lee Yuvniang as he strolled around the village. Although the village was busy, the villagers were always in the mountains, digging herbs or cutting firewood for food. There were also some hardworking villagers and tenants who were still hoeing the land.

After he left, the Lee Family gate closed and Lee Yuvniang entered the side room to pick up her bamboo hat, revealing a beautiful face. There was a small red mole at the corner of her left eye, she raised the cold tea and took a sip.

This wasn't Lee Yuvniang, this was her sister, Lee Xiuhsing. The only difference was that the two sisters were one year apart in age. They hid Second Elder Brother Zhu because they had nice figures and were both covered in silk and had slightly different voices.

Second Elder Brother Zhu was not close with the Lee Family sisters, and since he was weighed down with matters of the heart, how could he seriously differentiate between Lee Yuvniang's true personality and real life?

The real Lee Yuvniang put down the needle and thread in her hand and smiled, ”Sister, this Second Elder Brother Zhu is still young, but he has a lot of thoughts. No matter how much he changes his mind, he can forget about escaping from us sisters' grasp. ”

Lee Xiuhsing smiled and said, ”Yuvniang, be careful. Second Elder Brother Zhu has a heavy heart today. When you and I can use our veils to cover him, we can't hide it for long. ”

”How can he tell if it's true or false?” Lee Yuvniang said confidently as she sat down at the table and said, ”Sister, there's nothing strange about Second Elder Brother Zhu's cooking, but how can sister tell me?”

”Don't worry, sister. Second Elder Brother Zhu is not a nosy person.”

”I'm just worried. If he spread the news about our elder sister, then our family would be in big trouble.”

Lee Xiuhsing didn't say anything else. She raised her teacup and took a sip, thinking about the way Second Elder Brother Zhu looked at her. Such a gaze was definitely not something an ordinary teenager could possess. The other youths at most only had expressions of curiosity under their veils. Second Elder Brother Zhu's eyes seemed to want to see through her through her veil.

Second Elder Brother Zhu's heart was troubled by the problems of the imperial duke. Due to being plagued by this worry, he did not find out whether the Lee Family sisters were real or fake. It was just strange that Lee Yuvniang, who she came into contact with, was sometimes impulsive and willful, while she was sometimes very sensible and could be called gentle and elegant.

As the days passed, Zhu Yisu's report finally reached the Imperial Clan Court and attracted their attention. The family investigated Zhu Yisu's history of 1 lineage migration. They were a little surprised that one of his branch families, Prince Lu 1, didn't stay in Shandong province to go to Shanxi for?

It was only after the investigation that they found out that Zhu Yisu's 6th generation had participated in the change of the stone fortress with the support of the imperial duke, and that Zhu Yong, the patriarch who had rescued the emperor of the British Sect who was trapped in the stone fortress, had died in battle. After his death, a descendant of Zhu Yisu had moved to the north to guard the tomb.

This matter was somewhat strange, but as it was recorded in the family tree, as the descendants, they could only believe it. Presumably, the sixth generation ancestor who died in battle was also unwilling that the imperial duke was too low, and wanted to rely on his military merits to rise to prominence.

As long as there were ancestors, there would be descendants. Therefore, Zhu Yisu's zeal could be considered as a rule. There was a clan that was willing to give up on imperial duke Lord Lu. This was a good example, thus, this piece of news was given to Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli had been the emperor for 48 years, and his grandfather was the famous Taoist emperor Jia Jing. Jia Jing's eccentric character had put a lot of psychological pressure on the crown prince. Therefore, Emperor Wanli had ascended the throne at the age of ten, but he was only 58 years old now.

There were many old, monstrous subjects of the Ming dynasty who had lived to the age of 78, but not many emperors. At this time, Emperor Wanli couldn't take it anymore, so he had to work overtime to monitor the movements of the seignior.

It was a good thing that some clansmen were willing to give up on him. After looking at Zhu Yisu's records, he realized that his family's reputation was not bad. It was rare for them to fail to bring disaster to their family, and they were even a filial son. They missed the homecoming test twice because of filial piety, and their eldest son's illness ended the homecoming test once.

It could be seen that he was an emotional person. Wan Li waved his brush, and happily gave a big gift to his nephew who had performed meritorious deeds.
