Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1216

As long as you study hard when you should be studying, the rest of the time is basically free to play however you like.

Fu Qiu was more sensible than the children in ancient times, and he also had to survive in an extremely harsh and dangerous environment.

This resulted in her never having a so-called childhood, let alone having playmates with children of the same age.

Because it was difficult for her to just stay alive, she lived in fear, terror and tension day and night.

Even after returning to the Ming Dynasty, she always pushed herself, forced herself to learn more, and forced herself to become stronger.

Although it was not for survival, but to repay Wei Wu's kindness to her, this is not the life a child should have.

And now, the little guy Zhu Xiongying can be considered Fu Qiu’s first real playmate of the same age.

His appearance made Fu Qiu, the little girl who had been forcing herself for a long time, finally behave like a child.

"Xiao Wu, why... why are you suddenly in a daze?"

Just as Wei Wu was silently looking at the two little guys, Zhu Biao's questioning voice suddenly came to his ears.

Wei Wu came back to his senses and smiled slightly, then looked at Zhu Biao and said:

"Brother, you saw it just now, didn't you? Little Qiu actually laughed just now. This is very rare."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Zhu Biao looked at Wei Wu with some curiosity and asked in a low voice. Then Wei Wu responded:

"Big brother also knows about Xiao Qiu's life experience. After returning to the capital with me, it will be easy except in front of a few familiar people."

"Most of the time she acts like a little adult. I don't know why, but she always forces herself to be sensible."

"Not only that, but I also force myself to study, whether it's practicing or reading, I'm pushing myself to learn more."

Having said that, Wei Wu slowly shook his head and sighed, then continued:

"This is the first time I've seen her playing with people her age and laughing so happily."

"I see!"

After listening to Wei Wu's description, Zhu Biao nodded slowly, asked no more questions, but turned to look at the two little guys who were playing.

Originally, he was going to interrupt the two little guys and call Zhu Xiongying back so that Wei Wu could take Fu Qiu home.

But now he changed his mind. It didn't matter if he spent some time, so he let the two little guys play for a while longer.

In this way, Zhu Biao and Wei Wu stood not far away and watched, allowing the two little guys to play freely in the garden.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened and Wei Wu felt that the time was almost up that he shouted to them.

"Xiao Qiu, it's getting late, we should go home!"

When the two little guys who were playing heard Wei Wu's voice, they realized that Wei Wu and Zhu Biao were here.

Fu Qiu didn't expect Wei Wu to be here, so he immediately started running towards Wei Wu.

Although Zhu Xiongying was a little reluctant, he knew that he could not continue playing, so he ran over with Fu Qiu.

When he came before Wei Wu and Zhu Biao, Fu Qiu politely greeted Zhu Biao first.

"This humble lady greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ok!"

Zhu Biao looked at Fu Qiu kindly and responded, then spoke again:

"Xiao Qiu, I have to thank you for encouraging Xiong Ying. His teacher has been praising his academic performance recently!"

"It's all due to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's own intelligence."

Fu Qiu responded to Zhu Biao, then immediately turned to look at Wei Wu.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Haha, I just happened to come to the palace to report to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When I learned that you were also in the East Palace, I came to pick you up!"

Hearing Wei Wu's answer, Fu Qiu nodded obediently, then walked naturally to stand beside Wei Wu.

Just at this time, Zhu Xiongying had also run over and also greeted Zhu Biao first.

"Father!"

After greeting Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying turned to look at Wei Wu, saluted politely and said:

"Uncle, you're here!"

In fact, given Zhu Xiongying's status, he didn't need to pay respect to Wei Wu even though Wei Wu was his son-in-law and the Duke of Zhenguo.

Except for the ministers who were ordered to teach him, Zhu Xiongying did not have to pay respects to anyone other than the royal elders.

However, when facing Wei Wu Zhu Xiongying, he would always salute politely, and this had nothing to do with Fu Qiu.

Because Wei Wu saved his life, and both Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao taught him.

Whenever you meet Wei Wu, you must respect him like ordinary people would treat their uncle, and be polite and courteous.

Although this kind of education feels somewhat forced, Zhu Xiongying himself does not have any aversion to it.

Because he also likes Wei Wu in his heart. After all, every time he sees Wei Wu, he can always get some interesting things from him.

Secondly, children of the royal family are more sensible at an early age. Zhu Xiongying knew that he had smallpox, and it was Wei Wu who saved him with medicine.

At the same time, he also knew the relationship between Wei Wu and his grandfather and father, and his grandmother valued him more than her own son.

Therefore, every time Zhu Xiongying met Wei Wu, he would take the initiative to greet him, and he had a very close relationship with Wei Wu.

However, Wei Wu was often not in the capital, so the two of them did not have much time to spend together, and therefore they met less often.

As for Wei Wu, he really likes the little guy Zhu Xiongying. After all, who doesn’t like a polite and smart child!

So after Zhu Xiongying greeted him, Wei Wu habitually turned his wrist and took out a set of Huarong Dao gift boxes and handed them to Xiongying.

As soon as the result was taken out, Zhu Biao whispered something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Xiao Wu, please don't give him toys anymore. Every time he gets a new toy from you, he can't let go."

"Brother, you misunderstood me. Most of the toys I gave to Xiongying are actually good things."

Wei Wu turned around and responded quietly, then continued to explain:

"In the future, these are educational toys suitable for children, just like the Huarong Pagoda I'm giving him now."

"The difficulty level increases gradually from beginner to master. Although it is fun, it also helps to develop children's logical thinking ability."

"Playing at the master level will help develop children's strategic planning skills, and it's more than just fun."

"Games, as long as they are played in moderation, are actually not a bad thing for children."
