Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 38 Your Majesty, I can’t even catch a single bone!

Ma Xiuying glanced at Mao Xiang coldly, patted Xu Miaoyun's hand, and said comfortingly: "Ignore him!"

Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly, "There is nothing that cannot be said. Silang was reluctant to let me work in the fields. In order to prevent me from working in the fields, he came up with the idea of ​​letting me teach."

“We teach children in the village how to read and write for free.”

"The villagers taught Shiro how to plow the land."

Mao Xiang wanted to understand because his father wanted to know.

It's better to just talk about it.

"Madam, if you look at the whole Ming Dynasty as a woman who preaches and has a career, she is probably the first person in the world!" Mao Xiang complimented, then bit the bullet and continued to test: "I wonder, madam, what expectations do you have for these children?"

"You are proficient in writing, can write a name, and can read a court announcement?"

"Of course not." Xu Miaoyun made no secret and expressed her ideal: "Next year, we will take the children to take the childbirth examination."

"If possible, I hope they keep reading."

"Named on the gold list, number one in high school!"

Everyone was stunned.

A bunch of wild, country kids.

A female gentleman.

Are you going to take the child exam next year?

In the future, do you still want to be named on the gold list?

Top pick in high school?

‘Girl, I’m so excited! ’ Ma Xiuying was surprised and couldn’t help but laugh.

Mao Xiang didn't let Xu Miaoyun speak, and silently wrote down any subtle expression.

At this moment, the twelfth-year-old Zhu Bai was pushed by the fifth-year-old Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Bai glared at Zhu Zhu unhappily and said weakly: "Mother, I'm a little thirsty."

"I forgot to pour water for everyone." Xu Miaoyun patted her forehead, her pretty face blushed slightly with embarrassment, she was so happy that she forgot how to treat guests.

cough……

Zhu Xi coughed slightly and poked Zhu Bai again. ♦✎

Zhu Bai's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he pointed to the apricot blossom tree in the courtyard, "The apricot blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom. Have you made apricot blossom wine?"

puff!

Zhu Jingjing finally couldn't help laughing.

Ma Xiuying glared at Zhu Zhu angrily. As an elder brother, she was embarrassed and pushed her younger brother out? He smiled and said, "Ever since they learned that you were brewing apricot flower wine, they have been trying to brew it themselves in the palace."

"The apricot blossom trees used for ornamental purposes in the palace were pruned to a horrible extent and a lot of rice was wasted."

"Before I came out, I was thinking about the apricot blossom wine you brewed."

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun immediately laughed, "It has been brewed for a month, it should be ready to drink."

With that said, he quickly walked out of the hut.

Open the cellar in the courtyard.

After a while, he returned holding a jar.

Wow!

When the jar was placed on the dining table, the princes and princesses made a splash and immediately gathered around the table, staring eagerly.

Xu Miaoyun prepared wine bowls and glasses.

Cups are for the younger ones.

"It smells so good!" The moment the jar was opened, a group of princes and princesses couldn't help exclaiming, and at the same time stretched their necks to look into the jar.

A layer of pink apricot blossom petals floats on top.

Xu Miaoyun held a wine spoon made of a small bamboo tube and stretched it into the jar.

Gently open the apricot blossoms to reveal white rice grains and sweet rice wine.

The spoon gently opened the rice grains, and then the true appearance was revealed.

There is a layer of steamed rice and a layer of flower petals below, which are particularly beautiful.

After a while, the bowls and cups in front of each little guy were filled with apricot wine.

Apricot flowers are floating on the top, and steamed rice is settling below. s⃞ h⃞ u⃞ x⃞ .⃞ c⃞ o⃞ m⃞

In the middle is sweet and clear rice wine.

Just looking at it makes people very appetizing.

Zhu Jingjing, Zhu Xi and others all looked at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Drink, but you can only drink this one cup!"

After receiving the permission, Zhu Rui and others couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the wine bowl or glass in front of them.

Mao Xiang was dissatisfied and pursed his lips subconsciously.

"Drink!" Ma Xiuying ordered angrily: "Remember, after drinking and returning to the palace, speak more ill of them!"

Mao Xiang bared his teeth in a sneer, and stretched out his hand towards the wine bowl honestly.

Xu Miaoyun looked at it and was secretly amused. It was not easy for the spy chief to be caught in the middle.

He picked up the wine bowl and handed it to Ma Xiuying, "Mother, you, too, have a taste."

"Yeah." Ma Xiuying smiled and hummed, happily taking the wine bowl handed by Xu Miaoyun.

This bowl of wine was of great significance to her.

It is the result of the hard work of this young couple.

What's more, it made up for their wedding ceremony tea!

'snort! People who are obsessed with saving face cannot drink! ’

“Delicious!”

"It's really delicious. The fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are so good at their craftsmanship."

I don’t know if they were happy after drinking or if they drank too much. After Zhu Zhu and Zhu Bai finished drinking, they forgot Ma Xiuying’s instructions. When they praised them, they called them fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law.

At the same time, he was still staring at the jar eagerly.

"No more drinking!" Ma Xiuying smiled and ordered: "Mao Xiang, take them to see the little wild boar."

"That's right, we haven't seen the little idiot Fourth Brother captured alive yet!"

"Fourth sister-in-law, where is the little idiot?"

After Xu Miaoyun told the little fool the location of the pen.

Mao Xiang wisely took Zhu Jingjing, Zhu Ru and others away.

Who told him to eat people with a soft mouth?

As soon as Mao Xiang left.

Ma Xiuying stopped covering up, held Xu Miaoyun's hand tightly, and said gratefully with a smile: "Girl, I have made you suffer."

"Mother, I'm not bitter. Really, I like my life now!" Xu Miaoyun raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"Seeing that there is light in your eyes and you are living like this, the queen mother is relieved." Ma Xiuying smiled, reached out to touch Xu Miaoyun's hair, and then asked curiously: "Next year, we will let the children in the village take the childbirth examination. You are so confident. Shiro also supports you?"

"Um!"

Xu Miaoyun smiled sweetly and said solemnly: "I want the children to give it a try and become familiar with the imperial examination. Even if they fail to pass the child examination next year, it doesn't matter. There will be the year after that, and the year after that."

"Shiro is very supportive of me."

Xu Miaoyun spoke out their thoughts openly and openly without any secrets.

"My mother supports you, don't be scrupulous, and don't care about the ridicule of some people." Ma Xiuying was very supportive: "You are common people now."

"What the common people can do, you can do!"

"Don't have any scruples!"

"If you want to do it, not only do it, but you also have to do it as openly as you do now!"

"The children's examination is next spring, and the queen is waiting for your good news!"

Xu Miaoyun smiled happily.

Although, the couple did this without any impure motives, and they were not afraid of others being suspicious.

If there was a motive, it was Shiro's intention to prevent her from working in the fields.

But of course I would be very happy if I could get the trust and support of more people, especially my relatives!

The two were in the house again, talking for a while before coming out of the house.

Mao Xiang was observing all the time and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Miaoyun accompanying Ma Xiuying.

If the private conversation was noticed by the Jinyi Guards hiding in the village, he would not be able to help conceal it even if he wanted to.

He is the only one who sees it and can hide it.

Once the report comes to the Zhenfusi Yamen, even if he is the commander, he will not dare to conceal it.

"Queen mother, wait..."

Xu Miaoyun said something and opened the cellar in the courtyard. After a while, he brought out three jars: "Mother, in the jar on the left, the pheasant shot by Shiro is pickled."

"The eel is pickled in the middle."

"On the right is the apricot flower wine. You can take it back and let everyone try it."

Ma Xiuying's nose felt slightly sore and she nodded.

Mao Xiang stood aside and watched, struggling in his heart, silently whispering: Should I tell the emperor about this? If I hadn't said anything, the emperor wouldn't have been able to fish out a single bone based on the empress's grievances.

After Ma Xiuying got in the car, she lifted the curtain and said, "Go back. Queen Mother will take them to the field where the fourth is farming, and then go back. When it comes to work, listen to the fourth, don't tire yourself..."

"Do whatever you want. As long as it's what the common people can do, you can do it too!"

"The Queen Mother is waiting for good news about the childbirth exam next spring."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and winked playfully, lowered her voice, and said with a smile: "Mother, please take your younger brothers and sisters to see it. Shiro is a quick learner and has already learned it."

Ma Xiuying was amused. She smiled and poked Xu Miaoyun on the forehead, "Are you worried and went to see it secretly?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were like mother and daughter, and they seemed to have endless things to say. After talking for a while, Ma Xiuying reluctantly ended and told Mao Xiang: "Let's go to the field where Shiro is farming."
