Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1222

Then she reached out and patted Zhu Di's arm, then pulled Zhu Di up and looked towards Wei Wu.

Wei Wu happened to have entered the main hall at this time. He approached quickly, smiling and greeting, saying:

"Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to visit me. I've indeed kept you waiting for a long time. Actually, you don't have to wait for me all the time."

"I'm not at home. Just let the servants know. I'll come visit you when I get back."

After greeting them, Wei Wu had already come in front of the two of them, and Zhu Di also spoke.

"It's okay, it's okay. Miaoyun just happened to come to the capital, and I haven't seen Yuxuan for a long time. It's a good opportunity to catch up."

Zhu Di had already gone to Beiping to be enfeoffed as early as the 13th year of Hongwu, and Xu Miaoyun, as the princess, naturally followed him to Beiping.

It was because of Wei Wu's appearance that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to be called back from Peking a few years ago.

However, although Zhu Di returned, Xu Miaoyun did not come back, but stayed in the Prince of Beiping's Mansion to look after the family.

After all, Zhu Di's three eldest sons had already been born at this time, and Xu Miaoyun must raise the children at home.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Miaoyun should have just arrived in the capital and then followed Zhu Di to visit his home.

After all, Wei Wu treated Xu Da and stayed in his house for more than ten days, but he never saw Xu Miaoyun appear.

Although it was the first time they met, Wei Wu did not act unfamiliar. After Zhu Di finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Xu Miaoyun.

"Although this is my first meeting with Fourth Sister-in-law, her name as a female scholar is well-known in the capital!"

"Xiao Wu is already a Duke of the Ming Dynasty at such a young age, and he founded the Academy of Science and Technology, which is world-renowned."

Hearing Wei Wu's praise for herself, Xu Miaoyun Wan'er smiled and responded in the same way.

After some greetings, Wei Wu came and sat down next to Zhu Yuxuan, and looked towards Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

It was only then that he discovered that Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun did not sit down, but slowly walked in front of him.

"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Looking at the two people's actions, Wei Wu asked with some confusion, but then he suddenly jumped up from his seat.

Because after Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun stood still, they actually bowed to Wei Wu together, and it didn't look like a bow.

Fortunately, Wei Wu reacted quickly enough. When the two men took action, he stood up first and grabbed one of their arms with both hands.

He used his powerful strength to stop the two men's movements, and then said helplessly:

"Fourth brother, you are the prince, and my sister-in-law is the princess. What are you doing? You almost scared me to death!"

Although Wei Wu was the son-in-law of the emperor and also the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, his status could not be compared with Zhu Di and others.

Even the princess Xu Miaoyun is much higher in status and position than the Duke Wei Wu.

Even if the two of them had just paid their respects to Wei Wu, it would have been considered an act of usurpation by Wei Wu, not to mention that they were doing more than just paying their respects.

Although Wei Wu was not good at martial arts, he was very strong. He supported two people at the same time without any pressure and stopped him.

Seeing this, the couple looked at each other, finally gave up struggling, and slowly stood up.

In fact, Zhu Di could still struggle, but what they wanted to do was obviously not suitable for wrestling with Wei Wu.

After standing up, Zhu Di did not speak. Instead, Princess Xu Miaoyun looked at Wei Wu and spoke first:

"Xiao Wu, the main reason I took the liberty to visit you this time is to thank you for saving my father's life."

"My father had already contracted a serious illness while in Peking, but no doctor could cure him, no matter how many he sought."

"When Your Majesty summoned my father back to the capital to recuperate, I worried day and night, fearing that even the imperial physician would be unable to treat my illness after he returned."

You should know that Xu Da has recovered now, and all he needs to do now is wait for his body to recover naturally.

But even so, when Xu Miaoyun said this, her eyes began to turn red, which showed that she was really worried.

Zhu Di looked at his wife's appearance and quickly took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to her, but Xu Miaoyun shook her head.

Then he looked at Wei Wu and continued:

"These days, I have been writing letters home to inquire about my father's condition, but I learned that his illness is getting worse."

"I was able to move around freely in Peking, but after returning to Beijing, I couldn't even get out of bed and even fainted several times."

"I rushed to the capital this time because I thought my father's time was running out and I would never be able to fulfill my filial duty by his bedside again."

Having said that, Xu Miaoyun looked at Wei Wu with eyes full of gratitude, and a smile curved at the corners of her mouth.

"Xiao Wu, thanks to you, my father is now gradually recovering. I don't know how to repay you for saving my father!"

"Hi!"

After listening to Xu Miaoyun, Wei Wu waved his hand and then said:

"Sister-in-law, you are being too formal. You are Fourth Brother's wife, and I am Yuxuan's husband. To put it bluntly, we are all family."

"Since we are one family, why should we talk behind each other's backs? In public, Uncle Xu is a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and the cornerstone of our nation."

"Personally, our two families are related, and I respect Old Man Xu. Since he has the ability, how can I just sit back and watch?"

After hearing Wei Wu's words, Xu Miaoyun shook his head and said:

"Being able to save and being willing to save cannot be equated. The grace of saving my father is as great as the sky and must be remembered. However, Xiao Wu, since you are unwilling to accept my great gift."

Having said this, Xu Miaoyun paused for a moment, then took two steps back and bowed solemnly to Wei Wu.

The so-called solemn bow is actually similar to the bow. Both are etiquette used by women, but the solemn bow is more serious.

The movements are similar to the Wanfu ceremony, but the requirements are stricter. The right hand is clasped and the left hand is clasped in a fist, the body is bent with a greater degree of bending, and the eyes are always looking downward.

Apart from the kowtow ceremony, this can be said to be the most important etiquette for a woman. Xu Miaoyun's identity is princess and sister-in-law.

Wei Wu was both a minister and a younger brother, but Xu Miaoyun still chose to do this, which shows how sincere her gratitude was!

In fact, Wei Wu didn't want to accept this gift, but Zhu Di was right next to him and grabbed him, preventing him from making any movement.

Helplessly, they could only stand there and accept the greeting, and then the four of them returned to their seats.

After the four of them sat down, Wei Wu was about to speak, but Zhu Di spoke first:

"Xiao Wu, I'm about to return to Beiping to guard the border. I'd like you to take care of my father-in-law!"

Wei Wu was stunned and quickly asked:

"Return to Beiping to guard the border! Is war about to begin?"
