Gao Chi of the Ming River

Woke up the next day.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a while, then slowly got up and sat up, habitually crossed his legs, looked around, huh?Where's daddy?

Went to practice martial arts in the morning?

Zhu Gaochi scratched his head, then remembered last night...

From the beginning of my firm determination not to depend on my father anymore, to the end when I nestled in his father's arms without self-control, and slept in a mess until now...

Zhu Gaochi was worried, how could he stop relying on his father so much if it went on like this?

But... There is another question in my heart, is it true that he doesn't want to leave because he relies on his father?

meditation……

half an hour...

That's it!

If you can't think of it, forget it!

Scratching his head, Zhu Gaochi thought, where did his father go?

Normally his father would practice martial arts, but when he woke up, his father must have returned from practicing martial arts.

"Chi'er..."

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and saw his father holding a large paper bag in his hand, standing by the door and looking at him with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help grinning, got up, and just about to climb out of bed, he heard his father's displeased deep voice, "Little Roubao! If you dare to get out of bed without wearing a coat, try it!"

Zhu Gaochi paused, then slowly withdrew his feet, took the clothes beside the bed, and slowly put them on.

Only then did Zhu Di come over, put the paper bag in his hand on the table, walked to the side of the bed, looked at Zhu Gaochi wearing his clothes slowly with his hands crossed, and said with a half smile, "Chi'er! How can you move so slowly?" Keep tossing, the meat buns won’t taste good if they get cold!”

Meat buns?

Zhu Gaochi looked at the hot paper bag on the table, his eyes lit up, he raised his head, looked at his father, and smirked, "Dad, did you buy meat buns?"

Zhu Di hummed, but still couldn't help but raised his hand to fasten the button on Zhu Gaochi's neck, and said in a low voice, "Sweet buns from Fujing Street."

On Fook King Street?That is one of his favorite Nanjing delicacies! !

Zhu Gaochi quickly lowered his head, put on his shoes, turned his head and smiled at Zhu Di, "Father, let's eat steamed stuffed buns, it won't taste good when it's cold."

But Zhu Di lazily lay on the bed, "Let's eat later. Dad bought this early in the morning, and now I'm tired."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he couldn't help reaching out and tugging at his father's clothes, "Father..."

His father can't get up, how can he eat? ?

Zhu Di secretly smiled, knowing that this kid values ​​etiquette the most, and if he doesn't get up, this kid will never eat.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this emphasis on etiquette, there are good and bad!

Thinking of what happened last night, he felt aggrieved and depressed. He couldn't help but pull Zhu Gaochi, who was pulling his clothes, onto the bed, lay on his body, grabbed Zhu Gaochi's cheek with his hand raised, stared, and cursed bitterly, "Have no conscience!" of!"

Zhu Gaochi's cheeks hurt a little, knowing that his father was unhappy this time, he looked at his father's dark circles again, and asked in a low voice, "Father... why don't you ask Sanbao to buy it?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, of course he has to go for the things given to this kid by himself!

Asking slaves and servants to buy it is nothing!

Hearing his father's cold snort, Zhu Gaochi knew that he had asked a stupid question. When he was in Peiping, no matter how small the matter was, as long as it was related to him, his father would always do it himself.

Ask his father why, his father always said two words, "I like it!"

Because like it?

Zhu Gaochi's eyebrows were curved, his heart was full of joy, he couldn't help raising his hand, and gently covered his father's hand that was pulling his cheek.

The fair, fat and short hands are covered with dark and rough hands.

It was very uncoordinated, but in Zhu Di's eyes and heart, it was... the best scene.

Zhu Di smiled heartily, this kid...

This kid... probably doesn't know.

No son is 13 years old and often sleeps with his father...

No son would sleep soundly and happily in his father's arms in the middle of the night.

Not to mention that there is no son... that would be like this, because his father is so happy after doing some insignificant things...

The smile...is...so soft and satisfying...

Like... when a man gets approval or promise from a woman he loves...

……never mind!

Chi'er is only 13 years old.

Let Chi'er realize it slowly.

Give Chi'er another two years.

Zhu Di let go of his hand, held Zhu Gaochi's hand instead, put it on his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chi'er...let's sleep with Dad."

Zhu Gaochi nodded obediently, then lowered his head and leaned against Zhu Di's chest, and slowly closed his eyes, well, for the sake of his father buying buns for him early in the morning...

Ok……

**************

The streets of Peking are as lively as ever.

At this time, it has entered autumn, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days.

In the distance, two people walked on the street.

A tall, handsome man in his thirties, and a gentle and lovely boy in his thirteen or fourteen years old.

The man's strides are big and he walks fast, while the young man's strides are small and his walk is very slow and leisurely, but the two of them are almost walking side by side.

After careful observation, it can be found that the man seems to be trying to slow down his pace, and even stops occasionally, looking at the things at the roadside stalls, while waiting for the boy.

The man's brows and eyes were slightly displeased, as if the boy was walking too slowly, but the man seemed to be trying to suppress it, but, after the boy caught up, he would raise his hand, pinch the boy's cheek, and say something.Although it seemed to be a punishment, the manner was very intimate, and there was a certain kind of tenderness and helplessness in the man's displeased frown.

And that boy, when he was pinched, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face turned red, as if he was shy and embarrassed to be pinched by a man in such a place, but there was a trace of simple and honest pretending to be stupid in his expression , grinning and seeming happy.

Turning around the alley, the man abruptly reached out and took the boy's hand, and entered a small shop called Yushizhai.

Entering Yushizhai, the owner of Yushizhai saw him, hurriedly greeted him, bowed respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Li Si pays his respects to the lord, to the prince."

The man nodded majestically, his fingers still clasping the boy's.

The young man seemed to feel a little embarrassed after entering Yushizhai, and wanted to break free from his hand, but it was in vain, and he didn't seem to dare to break free too obviously, so he had to pretend to be a natural and gentle smile on his face.

"Is something coming?"

"Here we come. My lord, please come here."

Li Si, the owner of Yushizhai, hurriedly responded respectfully. The man, Zhu Di, took the hand of the young man, Zhu Gaochi, and walked towards the backyard.

Zhu Gaochi is no stranger to Yushi Zhai. In the past few years, when his father took him out, he would sometimes come to Yushi Zhai to look at the account books and deal with some things.

Entering the backyard, Zhu Gaochi wanted to go to the next room to look at jade pendants as usual, but his father pulled him to sit beside him.

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled. Usually, his father was the one who took care of things. Did he avoid it?

Thinking that after returning to Beiping from Nanjing, his father suddenly left the palace for several days, and he didn't come back until this morning, and he dragged himself out as soon as he came back...

"Chi'er, it's time for you to do something." Zhu Di said lightly.

Hearing it in Zhu Gaochi's ears, he was shocked.

Time to do something? ? ?

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Si, who was standing respectfully and bent over in front of the two of them, and said with a blank expression, "From now on, the account book will be handed over to the prince. From today on, you will obey the prince's orders." !"

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then respectfully bowed his hands to Zhu Gaochi, "My subordinate Li Yuan pays homage to the prince!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, but with a gentle smile on his face, he nodded towards Li Si.

At this moment Zhu Di said lightly, "You step back first."

Li Si responded respectfully.

After Li Si stepped back, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help asking, "Father...you are..."

"You're getting old too, there are some things that Dad didn't intend to let you touch so soon..." Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and said lightly.

He doesn't want Chi'er to get involved in the storm, it's best that Chi'er will be smooth and safe all his life, and he will bear those ups and downs! !

Because I cared too much, I couldn't help thinking more about him.

I can't wait...to give him the best and safest...

But recently... Dao Yan often insinuates that he should let Chi'er get in touch with these things.

Yesterday, Dao Yan even found the barracks.

Straight to the point, he asked, "Has the prince already given up on his son?"

"Dao Yan, what did you say?"

"If the prince has not given up on the son, the poor monk implores the prince to hand over Yushi Zhai and Chenxiang Building to the prince. The prince is already thirteen! There will definitely be changes in Nanjing in the past two years. Is it possible that the prince wants to let the prince who has never been tempered come to the palace?" Are you dealing with changing times?"

"Dao Yan... I know..."

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

He knows that some things cannot be controlled by himself.

He also knows that the best thing for Chi'er is to let Chi'er have the ability to protect herself!

Chi'er can always hide behind her. For Chi'er, the harm outweighs the benefits. Chi'er is gentle on the outside but stubborn on the inside, and she is unwilling to...

Huang Zicheng's case is the best proof

But the catastrophe that Dao Yan said about Chi'er always jumped into his heart from time to time, it was a thorn in his heart!

Always... remind yourself from time to time...

Danger!Danger!

The plan in his heart is to protect Chi'er when he wins this game of chess and has the most powerful strength, and then let Chi'er hone it...

But in the current situation, I can't help myself...

And Dao Yan's words completely shattered his naive fantasy: "My lord...since ancient times, life and death are farewell...manpower can't do it..."

……

"Now...the situation has begun to change, Chier...I'm afraid you have to learn to deal with these things." Zhu Di said in a hoarse voice, feeling bitter in his heart.

...This is the truth, I am afraid that in the next two years, variables will come...

If Dao Yan's calculation is correct.

Zhu Gaochi listened, but his eyes lit up, and he bowed his hands respectfully and said solemnly, "Father! My son will definitely live up to my father's expectations!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and saluted respectfully, but felt awkward, and thought about all the things that might come one after another... couldn't help stretching out his hand and holding him in his arms, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, but lowered his head and stared deliberately, "Take care of yourself !This is the most important!"

Zhu Gaochi frowned and grinned, "Father! Father and son are always in battle!! Son will definitely fight side by side with father!"

The bright eyes just stared at Zhu Di, shining.

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, would he always go into battle without leaving his father and son soldiers?Fight shoulder to shoulder?

Thinking of what this kid once said, "I want to hold an umbrella for my father", Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi's bright eyes with a soft heart, would he never leave his father and son in battle?That... is not bad!Hugging Zhu Gaochi even tighter, he said in a low voice, "Yes! Chi'er will be with dad..." Fight side by side forever!Forever... Zhu Di secretly said in his heart.

**********

On this day, after Zhu Gaochi had practiced martial arts at Mao, he had just come out of the shower and dressed, when he saw his father sitting on the main seat and playing with the tea cover.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then he stepped forward with a smile on his face, and called out, "Father!"

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi who had just bathed and was standing behind him in a dark green robe, with slender eyebrows, a smile all over his face, and a smile on his face, got up, walked over, and saw that his neck was a little wet. After drying it, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his calloused thumb back and forth.

The action is intentionally or unintentionally tinged with a little provocative meaning.

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment.

My heart was hot, my body was hot, my face was red, I hurriedly avoided it, and my tone was a little helpless, "Father, why are you here?"

Zhu Di smiled heartily.

Pulling Zhu Gaochi away, using his sleeves instead, he wiped away the wetness on Zhu Gaochi's neck, frowning deliberately, "Chi'er, the water needs to be wiped clean from now on. What should I do if I catch a cold?"

water?

wipe it clean?

Zhu Gaochi's heart was suddenly embarrassed, and he swore secretly that next time he would come out clean and fresh! ! !
