Chapter 217 Change of Mind
"We have such a good relationship. I don't have to worry about how to get your father more clothes tomorrow.
Just put this short jacket inside and a pair of knee pads on and you're good to go."
Zhu Di was stunned.
"Eh? Can't I wear this robe tomorrow?"
"……Row."
Xu Yihua looked at Zhu Di helplessly. There was not much deep love between the old couple. They just smiled at each other helplessly in life.
What Xu Yihua cared about was Zhu Di's well-being when he was out, but Zhu Di was also concerned about the inconspicuous illnesses of Xu Yihua.
He tried the socks and knee pads with his palms and couldn't help but praise their exquisite workmanship.
"I feel like your socks are three points thinner than mine. Just wear them close to your feet. I think it's fine."
"My daughter-in-law is really thoughtful. My legs are saved in the cold weather."
While the two of them were praising each other, Zhu Gaochi had been burying his head in the box for quite a while.
“By the way, Dad, Zhiwei probably saw me running to the Master’s place all the time recently, so he also brought a monk’s robe for the Master.
Will you give it to him tomorrow, or will your son give it to him?"
"You can give it to me." Zhu Di replied.
"it is good."
What does this note say...let me see..."
Since it was the first time that Zhu Gaochi opened the treasure chest, he couldn't help but be curious about everything inside.
He unfolded the note and read it out.
"The scraps of fine material were used to make the master's robe, so you must not let this slip.
Besides, the ones used for gifts are all made of inferior materials and cannot be worn next to the body.”
"Pfft."
After listening to this, Xu Yihua laughed and said,
"You two are a perfect match."
Zhu Gaochi was originally here to entertain his parents, so he naturally didn't care about his mother's complaints. He took out two neatly folded packages and placed them on the bed beside him.
"Mom, this is for my brother and sister, please give it to them for me."
"The rest are for rewarding people, about ten pieces in total, divided equally between men and women.
They are all similar to my father's waistcoats, worn by guards and maids, and they are tough whether they are running outside or keeping watch at night."
"Oh, by the way, you can't use boiling hot water to wash clothes. You have to wash them in one direction carefully, otherwise the clothes will... shrink. Ah, they will be smaller after washing."
Xu Yihua listened to Zhu Gaochi's chatter, taking notes carefully and nodding.
"Okay, it's no big deal."
"Dad, I'll go back and copy a copy of this booklet and give it to you."
Zhu Di glanced at the names on the book and said,
"Make two copies."
"Okay, then I'll send them all to the master tomorrow."
Zhu Gaochi stuffed the booklet into his sleeve.
"Then Dad, Mom, my son is gone!
I think the meat is ready to be cooked! I want to eat fresh meat!"
"Okay, let's go. It's cold. Don't catch a cold when you practice at night."
"Mom, don't worry!"
"Who said that? I told you to be careful with your wife."
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Zhu Gaochi left the small courtyard empty-handed.
In the room, Zhu Di and Xu Yihua continued to eat dinner.
It just changed from the daily casual chat to the daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhang.
That night, Zhu Gaochi ate the meat as he wished, and felt satisfied and refreshed both physically and mentally.
The next day, the wind really started to blow.
The north wind whistled through the porch and trees, making a whistling sound.
No wonder people say those who are timid should cross with caution.
The confidence and sense of security that comes from not believing in ghosts and gods are given by modern bright lighting and fire-proof and explosion-proof doors and windows.
If it weren't for the fact that he had opened his third eye through cultivation, Zhang Zhiwei would have really doubted countless times whether there was a crooked-necked ghost standing on tiptoe outside the door, swooping at it with its sharp claws outstretched.
When he measured his body weight on an empty stomach in the morning, he found that his waist had become thinner by another inch and a half. Zhu Gaochi ate an extra bowl of "salad" this morning.
The vegetables mixed with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar unexpectedly made him, a meat lover, unable to stop eating. From time to time, he picked out shredded chicken that was completely soaked in the soup, and he even felt a sense of joy as if he had won the jackpot.
After dinner, he practiced Tai Chi again, squatted in the bathroom for a while, then bathed and changed into the new clothes Zhang Zhiwei had prepared for him. He tied his hat with a rope.
"My lady, I'm leaving now."
Today Zhu Gaochi went to see the eminent monk Daoyan, bringing with him a lot of luggage.
The recent discussion on Zhu Gaochi and Daoyan's new ideas of "New Confucianism and Legalism" has been in full swing, which can be said to be speculative.
Not only had he filled two notebooks, he was also preparing to begin implementing the new policy in Peiping.
Today, Zhu Gaochi even packed up and took with him the annotations he made when referring to classics, as well as the booklets of inspiration he wrote down during his daily discussions with Zhang Zhiwei.
The most important thing in making baskets and rattan baskets is the closing of the mouth. Today, he and Master Daoyan are going to write a few articles to put the final touches on the "Laws" of this "New Confucianism and Legalism".
Zhang Zhiwei saw that Zhu Gaochi was dressed like a bandit and stopped him from escaping.
"Wait a minute, there are so many things in large and small packages. If you don't know, you might think our Kang'an Hospital has been robbed."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei snatched the three cloth balls that looked like bedding rolls from Zhu Gaochi.
He rummaged through the closet for a while and found the leather bag he had sewed when he teamed up with the puppet. He then unpacked the contents of the package one by one, folded them up again, and wrapped them up to make some space between them.
"alright.
This way, it will be neat to hold and the gift you give will also look neat.
Otherwise, if the master sees me as a coward, I will be so embarrassing."
Zhang Zhiwei's method of collecting things was something Zhu Gaochi could not help but marvel at no matter how many times he watched.
From now on, if anyone looks down on the so-called "women's knowledge", the strongman Zhu Gaochi will be the first to punch him.
"Okay, do you have anything else to put on?
Have you finished the tea I packed for you? I'll put two more cans in for you.
When the weather is cold, add some milk and a spoonful of honey..."
As she spoke, the originally somewhat deflated large leather bag suddenly became firm. Zhang Zhiwei stopped her chattering and waved her hand to dismiss Zhu Gaochi.
"Okay, go ahead. Hold it carefully. It's not far, so just treat it as weight-bearing exercise."
Zhu Gaochi picked up the package in his hand and felt the weight.
Ok.
My wife cares about me more today than she did yesterday!
So he opened his arms, imitated Zhang Zhiwei's coquettish manner at night, and said,
"A hug?"
"Hug~"
……
In the front yard, Daoyan, who had read a fortune for himself this morning out of boredom, felt a little nervous.
When the hexagram and its lines change, it is called a changing hexagram.
The Eight Trigrams determine good and bad luck, and good and bad luck determine great achievements.
However, the uncertain good or bad fortune cannot be calculated from the changing hexagrams, and everything depends on subsequent events which are determined by human beings.
The hexagram also shows that this matter has been determined and cannot be changed. The time corresponding to it by humans... is now!
That is, the time he and Zhu Gaochi agreed to continue discussing "New Confucianism and Legalism" yesterday.
So, while Daoyan pretended to be calm and drank the cool tea, listening to the howling wind outside the window, he saw Zhu Gaochi walking towards him with a smile, carrying a leather bag embroidered with a pattern of a dragon in the abyss.
