Chapter 8: Zhu Biao's Children
Zhu Yunwen's crying immediately attracted the attention of people around him.
When Mrs. Lu saw that the people around her were looking at them, she turned around and glared at Zhu Yunwen fiercely .
"Don't cry, hold it back!"
Zhu Yunhuan pointed at Zhu Yunhuan and cried, saying aggrievedly.
"Mother, he has meat buns, woo woo woo ..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu looked at Zhu Yunhuan with disgust. As soon as she saw the steamed bun crumbs at the corner of Zhu Yunhuan's mouth, she knew that this guy was hiding food.
But there are so many people in the mourning hall now, it is obviously not the time to take care of the children.
If Zhu Yunhuan complained, who knows how much trouble he would get into.
Therefore, she could only put pressure on her son.
"What meat buns or not!"
"Why can't you learn from a good person instead of someone who has no king or father and no manners?"
"I……"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't understand why eating a meat bun made him a bad person. But since his mother had spoken, he could only suppress his overwhelming sadness and chew the meat jerky.
"Mother, I know I was wrong..."
When Mrs. Lu saw her youngest son admit his mistake, she felt a little reluctant and whispered in his ear.
"Xiao Er, be good. I'll have someone stew a chicken for you during your mother's lunch!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he burst into laughter.
"Thank you, mother. You are the best to me!"
Mrs. Lu touched her youngest son's head lovingly, and after comforting him, she continued to kneel on the ground and act as a tool.
The two spoke in a very low voice, and only the children of the Zhu family who were kneeling beside them could hear it.
When Zhu Yunhuan heard what Lu said to coax her younger son, although he seemed to not care on the surface, he actually felt a little sour in his heart.
When Zhu Biao's daughters heard this, they looked at Zhu Yunwen with envy and their eyes became red.
They were also hungry, almost fainting from hunger, but no one ever felt sorry for them...
After thanking his mother, Zhu Yunwen took advantage of Lu's inattention and turned around and made a face at him.
"It's just a broken meat bun. I don't care about it. My mother will make me stewed chicken at noon. Lualualua..."
Zhu Yunhuan ignored his grandson's provocation. It was not because he was afraid of his grandson, but he really didn't want to pay attention to him.
If I make him angry and he starts crying, how can he eat his meat buns quietly?
Seeing that his second brother ignored him, Zhu Yunwen felt bored and soon became obedient.
All children are like this. The more people pay attention to them, the more they show off.
Although Zhu Yunhuan did not make trouble, Zhu Yunhuan still could not eat the meat buns in peace.
Zhu Mingyue, the Princess of Jiangdu, who was kneeling beside Zhu Yunhuan, couldn't help but ask in a low voice when she saw Zhu Yunhuan eating a big meat bun in two bites.
"Second brother, don't you swallow your food?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan looked up and saw a delicate girl staring at the bun in his hand and swallowing her saliva. He immediately took out a bun from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't chew, okay? How can I eat without swallowing?"
Zhu Mingyue got the meat bun, and before she could say thank you, she suddenly heard these words and couldn't help but giggle.
"Brother is right to remind me. It was my younger sister who said the wrong thing, hehe..."
After Zhu Mingyue said this, she shook the bun in her hand towards Zhu Yunhuan and whispered.
"Thank you, second brother..."
Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"You're welcome!"
"We are all unwelcome, so we should respect class feelings and help each other!"
Zhu Mingyue's head was full of question marks when she heard this, but before she could open her mouth to ask, a weak voice came from beside her.
"Second brother, I'm hungry too..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan looked over and saw the younger Princess Yilun, Zhu Minglan. It was obvious that she had not eaten enough in the morning and was hungry at this time.
Since class feelings had just been emphasized, he naturally could not sit idly by in the face of Xiao Minglan's request, so he took out a big meat bun from his sleeve and handed it to her.
After the first and second, there were the third and fourth. Then the third and fourth sisters reached out to him for help.
Poor Zhu Yunhuan, he only got six buns in total, and he gave away four of them at once.
Although Zhu Yunhuan felt a little distressed, he still generously gave it to his sisters.
Because he really couldn't bear to see his sisters starving, and he couldn't eat under the gaze of several hungry eyes.
Seeing that his second brother had shared all his buns, leaving him with nothing to eat, Zhu Mingyue couldn't help but pass on the bun she had only taken two bites of.
"Second brother, why don't you eat this? I'm not that hungry..."
Zhu Yunhuan looked at the bun with two small crescents bitten into it and refused it without hesitation.
"I'm full. Even if you didn't ask me for it, I wouldn't be able to eat any more."
"Just eat in peace. Just think of it as helping me destroy the evidence."
"Thank you, second brother!"
Zhu Mingyue thanked him in a low voice and then, like a little squirrel, buried her head in eating the buns.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling in the first line, turned his head and made small talk in a mean manner.
"Big sister, this is clearly someone else's leftovers, they don't even want to eat it, why are you thanking me for anything! "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingyue rolled her eyes at Zhu Yunhuan, thinking that this little brat was really nosy.
"What do you know!"
"Second brother just ate a big bun in two bites. How could he be full and not hungry?"
"Second brother said this on purpose because he was afraid that we wouldn't feel at ease while eating!"
After Zhu Mingyue's reminder, the three Zhu sisters nearby heard this and hurried to thank Zhu Yunhuan.
Zhu Yunwen saw that his attempt to instigate the enemy failed and instead made the enemy more united, so he could only turn back in disappointment and no longer pay attention to the people behind him.
After distributing four big meat buns, Zhu Yunhuan suddenly looked bored.
Therefore, he couldn't help but stretch his neck and began to observe the scene in the mourning hall.
Simply put, the mourning hall is divided into three echelons.
The first group is of course Lu and her children. With such a good opportunity to show loyalty and filial piety to the outside world, she would of course grab the C position for her children.
The second echelon consisted of illegitimate sons and daughters such as Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Mingyue. They knelt behind the first echelon, and all chances to show their faces were blocked by the first echelon.
In fact, strictly speaking, Zhu Yunhuan should also be considered a legitimate son, and his status is even more noble than that of Zhu Yunwen.
But it was because his mother died early that the Lu family is in power now.
As the saying goes, a child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is a weed.
As the remnant of the former Crown Princess, he could only kneel with a bunch of illegitimate sons and could not even get a chance to show his face.
But there are also advantages, which is that you can eat and do little things without restraint.
Even though Zhu Yunhuan had laid prone on the ground in the morning, no ceremonial officer dared to intervene.
As for the third echelon, it was Zhu Biao’s harem, and they were also the group that cried the most devotedly.
Because according to the rules, after keeping vigil for Zhu Biao, they had to commit suicide collectively and be buried with him.
However, Zhu Yunhuan didn't understand the truth and thought that they had a very deep relationship with their father, so they cried so sadly.
Just when Zhu Yunhuan wanted to take a look at the scenery outside the mourning hall, a simple dragon robe suddenly appeared at the gate of the mourning hall.
When Zhu Yunhuan saw this man, he was immediately frightened and fell forward.
This person is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
He was also the culprit who released kinetic energy on Zhu Yunhuan's butt yesterday, making him scream!
Zhu Yunhuan buried his head behind his sisters and looked through the gaps in the crowd, his heart full of suspicion.
Why is this old man here again? Is he trying to beat someone up again?
