Chapter 415 Hu Shanxiang 6
Knock knock knock——
A slightly impatient knock on the door sounded in her ears.
Shanxiang turned over and pretended not to know.
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, knock knock knock...
Hu Shanxiang sat up from the bed with a somersault.
How would it feel to be pulled out of bed early the next morning?
Hu Shanxiang said, thank you for the invitation, I am tempted to kill.
However, when she opened the door with dazed eyes and looked at the culprit who woke her up, she suddenly woke up.
The little snotty-nosed eunuch was crying so hard that Shanxiang suddenly suspected that she had put the wrong pill in and killed the old emperor.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. But the little snotty girl who had served the emperor for many years did have red eyes at this moment, and her voice was obviously dull, obviously she had been crying.
"Miss Hu, you are finally awake. The Emperor wants you to come over."
As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and four maids filed in from outside the door and bowed to her in unison: "Greetings to Miss Hu."
"Ha, ha... get up, get up. I can do that myself. You all... go out first."
Hu Shanxiang quickly took a long step and stepped aside, avoiding their greetings. Seeing that everyone was just looking at her without saying anything, she quickly looked at Xiao Bishen: "Didn't the emperor call me? Don't keep him waiting for too long."
"Then I will wait for you outside."
Little Nose then bowed slightly and led the four maids out again, not forgetting to close the door considerately.
When she pushed open the door, she was greeted by the flattering smile of Little Nose. To be honest, it was a bit scary, but Hu Shanxiang, who probably guessed the reason, calmly adjusted her cloak, held a folding fan in her hand, and cupped her fists towards Little Nose: "Shall we go?"
"Hey, please go first."
Before Hu Shanxiang even crossed the threshold, the old man's hearty laughter resounded in her ears like a loud bell: "Hahaha, old monk, I'm afraid you will die before me in the future."
As he said this, he turned his head and saw Shanxiang coming in. The smile on his face became more obvious: "Hu girl is here, come and take a look."
Shanxiang walked forward and saw that the wrinkles on Zhu Di's face were obviously less and his spirit was much better.
The most noticeable thing is his originally gray beard and hair, which now look as if they were specially dyed, and are so shiny black that the prince is so envious.
To be honest, he looked a few years younger than the Crown Prince. Of course, this was also because the Crown Prince was in poor health and overworked, which made him look particularly old.
"The Emperor is full of vigor and vitality. I think he is indeed much younger than the wizard."
"Hahahaha, well said, you have good vision!"
As the user himself, Zhu Di was the one who was most aware of the changes in his body. The feeling of renewed vitality was no different from the day he ascended the throne and felt that the vast territory was in his hands.
"Come, have breakfast with me, old man."
Although he was an emperor, Zhu Di was indeed a relatively frugal person in his daily life. Even when he lived in a temple, he would prepare vegetarian food.
There were four simple dishes, three soups and three staple foods on the table. This was because the emperor was in a good mood today. If it were in the past, there might not be these.
Hu Shanxiang, adhering to the mentality of respecting the elderly and loving the young, first served two bowls of shepherd's purse and tofu soup to the emperor and the old monk as a gesture, and then sat down at the emperor's signal.
Zhu Di ate too much for the first time today. It is probably difficult for young people to imagine what it is like to grow older and have eating become a burden.
Of course, before this, Zhu Di was actually in very good health, a bit like the old Lian Po who relied on a bowl of rice for a meal, and was a hundred times stronger than many young and strong people.
But what if you compare yourself with yourself?
It's different after all.
After dinner, the emperor and Shanxiang sat opposite each other on a futon. Yao Guangxiao poured tea for them and began to read the book in his hand.
"How many years have you followed Taoist Zhang?"
"Ten years."
"What has he taught you in these ten years?"
Shanxiang spread his hands and said, "It's hard to say. The old Taoist always teaches whatever he wants. He teaches whatever he thinks of. One day he was talking about astrology and the next day he was talking about farming. Even now, I don't know how much he has put into my head."
"How can you teach a child in a haphazard way? It doesn't sound very methodical."
Zhu Di was a little uncertain. He didn't think that Zhang Sanfeng taught too much. After all, a proper royal education required no less than this. However, there had to be a system. If he taught whatever he thought of, he was afraid that the child would learn too much.
"You're right. Later, when my parents went to visit me in the mountains, they felt that this wasn't going to work, so they begged the old man to let me learn to read first."
Zhu Di: “…”
Zhu Di: "You can't even read, what's the point of him teaching you? Well... then you don't have anything you're good at?"
"Well... I play the flute well, and my calligraphy is also OK." Shanxiang said two things carefully. Seeing Zhu Di just nodded, she suddenly clapped her palms with her folding fan and said, "I'm also good at raising things. Look -"
As he spoke, he took out a small pendant from his collar and blew gently into the bone whistle. The sound was not harsh.
Zhu Di's eagle eyes instantly looked out the window, and saw a big buzzard (kuang kuang) flying in from the window. It flapped its wings and blew the books on the table to the ground, then folded its wings and landed steadily on the table.
What a desktop cleaning master.
Shanxiang glanced at the scattered Buddhist scriptures on the ground and gave the old monk a flattering smile: "A Tian is still a child, and his temper... is a bit naughty."
"I'm so sorry!"
He quickly got up from the mat and packed up carefully. Shanxiang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after being forgiven by the old monk, turned around and saw A Tian jumping onto the emperor's lap and pecking the ring on the emperor's hand twice without any hesitation.
Plop—Gululu—
The pigeon egg-sized turquoise on the ring fell off and rolled to Shanxiang's feet.
"This leopard is really well-fed. Ha, it's really strong. If it bit a human, I'm afraid it would be missing a piece of meat."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I haven't taken care of it these days. It's angry with me now."
Shanxiang looked at the big fat chicken and raised his voice slightly: "A Tian?"
Hearing that something was wrong, A Tian jumped down knowing the situation. The room was filled with various furnishings. The large bird of prey with a wingspan of more than one meter and a body length of more than seventy centimeters could only use its two legs to stagger to Shanxiang's side. It also picked up the turquoise and put it in Shanxiang's hand with a tactful look.
