Daming: From the end of Hongwu

This time, the dog didn't care about it and yelled everywhere.

That's it.

After explaining this matter, Zhu Di looked down again at the information about Guilichi that had just been sent over.

He thought for a long time.

Finally he sighed unwillingly.

Forget it, let's admit Guilichi's regime for the time being, and let people go on a mission to see if they can establish a friendly relationship, and if they can be appeased for a few years first.

There are still some unstable factors in the country, which must be properly dealt with first.

……

In the afternoon, the dog brought the things to Duke Zhao's mansion. After Zhu Yuying and Zhang Yuqing received the things, they were a little confused.

Why did the old man suddenly reward something for no reason?

A gift from heaven?

Zhang Yuqing asked Zhu Yuying suspiciously: "Yuying, why did Your Majesty suddenly reward our family with something? Do other families have it? Or is it only ours."

Zhu Yuying was also a little puzzled, she frowned and said, "I asked Eunuch Wang, only our family has it, but why only our family has it, and Eunuch Wang couldn't say one, two, three, it seems to be related to my husband. "

"Boss?" Zhang Yuqing guessed: "Then it should be that the boss has made a contribution again. This is the boss's temperament. Every time he goes out, he can draw something at home."

Zhu Yuying shook her head and said: "I also thought it was my husband who made meritorious service, but I asked Wang Gonggong, and Wang Gonggong looked a little weird. He said that he didn't know whether my husband counted as meritorious service, and whether these count as meritorious service rewards."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuqing was a little apprehensive, mainly because there were too many things sent this time.

Even if she kept it, she was a little uneasy.

Zhu Yuying saw Zhang Yuqing's worry, smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, we will keep these things securely, if the emperor can still harm us, it will be fine, otherwise, I will go to see you soon Take a trip to the palace and ask my queen mother?"

Zhang Yuqing glanced at Zhu Yuying's stomach and said: "Farewell, your belly has been there for several months, it's best not to move, and when you write a letter to the boss later, just ask the boss, yes, there is also the boss. The third daughter-in-law is also pregnant with a child, you should tell the boss about it, these two children, you talk about the world, it is not convenient to communicate with each other."

"become."

Zhu Yuying said with a smile: "Then I will write a letter to my husband in a while, do you have anything to tell my husband?"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head: "The boss has the most correct idea. I said he wouldn't listen, so I didn't bother him anymore. But on the third side, the wives who prepared for the third wife's wife don't know if they have met the third son. Over there, the third child is a careless person, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, and he doesn’t take care of her well, so I don’t have a thoughtful person by my side, so I’m still a little worried.”

"Mother, don't worry." Zhu Yuying said with a smile, "Shi Leng came to the house a while ago and asked him to escort him there. You said that he is a real brother, so can he miss the sister's business?"

"That's true."

The two walked towards the house while talking, leaving behind the butler and his servants to put the rewarded things into the warehouse by category, and the servant girls came and went, those who moved things moved things, recorded the list of records, and were responsible for the arrangement. He was in charge of resettlement, and he was busy showing the prosperity of the government.

At this moment, at the north gate of Nanjing City, a wealthy young man sat on the cornice on the first floor and looked into the distance.

The city gate building was originally built on top of the wide city gate, and the cornices on the first floor were bent into an arc like the wings of a bird, hanging in the air high in the air.

But the young man sat in such a place, and there was no trace of fear on his face.

On the contrary, the city gate general in the corridor on the second floor was frightened and hurriedly persuaded: "Oh, my seventh master, come down from there quickly. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the Duke and Lord?"

This general is called Niu Daxiong, a native of Xiaolingzhuang. His father was a general banner under Zhang Wu's banner earlier. Guard the gate here.

Niu Daxiong is not very old, only three years older than Xiaoliu. When Zhen Wu took Xiaoliu to Xiaoling Village when he was a child, Niu Daxiong and a group of children often circled Xiaoliu.

And the seventh master he was talking about was naturally Zhen Wu's 13-year-old seventh younger brother.

Xiao Qi said without turning his head: "If you make any more noise, believe it or not, I will be scared and fall down."

With this sentence, Niu Daxiong was so scared that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore. Finally, he stomped his feet and ran outside the first floor, looked up at Xiao Qi on the cornice, and tried to save Xiao Qi if something unexpected happened.

Xiao Qi glanced downstairs, then raised his head to look into the distance again, he was silently in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Maybe it's because I'm old and I have my own melancholy.

I don't know how long it took.

As the sun set, a layer of golden sand shone on Xiao Qi's body. Two panting teenagers ran up from the city gate. When they saw Xiao Qi, their expressions relaxed.

"Brother Meng, why did you come here to play here, come down quickly, today you escaped halfway, the master of the school is angry again, maybe he will go to your house."

"Let's look for it, I'm tired, it doesn't matter anymore." Xiao Qi said calmly.

These two teenagers are the children of the generals of the Youjun family. The school they attended together was a school funded by Zhen Wu. Be extra strict with Xiaoqi.

But Xiao Qi is upset today, not because of the school, but because he just heard that Zhen Wu had arranged a marriage for him verbally.

He also knew the woman, who was two or three years older than him, Chen Yuer, the granddaughter of the late Jing Guogong Chen Heng, and the daughter of Ningyang Bo Chen Mao.

He swore that he never thought of marrying Chen Yuer.

It's not that Chen Yu'er is ugly, the problem is that when young people first fell in love, who would never imagine that they would meet a woman like a fairy and have a soul-stirring relationship.

Especially a child like Xiao Qi who has been rich since childhood.

The following two teenagers persuaded: "Brother Meng, we know you are unhappy, but this is your brother's decision, what else can you do, besides, I think Miss Yu'er is pretty, last time we went to Chen Zhao's house, Didn’t you meet Chen Zhao and the others, don’t listen to Tan Cheng’s nonsense, they don’t dare to go to Chen Zhao’s house and call their sister-in-law.”

Xiao Qi curled his lips, he just felt that no one else understood his suffering.

Considering his family background, he originally thought that the world's women could be chosen by him.

Now I suddenly know that there is no choice.

No wonder he felt better.

The two teenagers still persuaded: "Brother Meng, come down quickly, the two brothers don't come home so late, and they are taking the risk of being scolded to find you. You can't ignore your brothers for the sake of a woman."

These words are useful to Xiao Qi, the young man is the most loyal, he glanced at the two young men who were still out of breath, sighed, and jumped off the cornice with a vigorous figure, then rolled forward and let go of his strength, Then he stood firm.

Seeing this scene, Niu Daxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xiao Qi walked up to Niu Daxiong and said, "If you dare to complain to my sister about this matter today, I will come to you every day to make trouble."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi greeted the other two teenagers and said, "Let's go."

When the two teenagers heard about it, they hurriedly followed Xiao Qi, and the three of them walked down the stairs while talking.

After Xiao Qi and the others walked away, the soldiers around Niu Daxiong became excited one by one. They gathered around Niu Daxiong and cheered up: "Niu Qianhu, so you really know the son and daughter of Duke Zhao's mansion." .”

Niu Daxiong raised his eyebrows and said: "When did I tell a lie, and didn't I tell you that I and Zhao Guogong's hometown is in the same Zhuangzi. In the past, Zhao Guogong often took Miss Six to play in Zhuangzi. At that time, we were young and ignorant. He even took Miss Six to climb the forest and climb mountains. Speaking of which, you don’t know that Miss Six is ​​also very courageous and dares to follow us anywhere, but every time Zhao Guogong catches her back, she has to be beaten.”

As he talked, Niu Daxiong seemed to see the story of playing with Xiao Liu in Xiaoling Village in the past, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

A soldier boldly asked: "I heard that Zhao Guogong loves Miss Six the most, Qianhu, please tell us, what does she look like, and whether she is good-looking or not."

Does it look good?

How can it not look good!

Even after many years, he can still clearly remember the first time he saw Xiao Liu. At that time, Xiao Liu was wearing a clean skirt, a beautifully embroidered cloud shoulder, and a pair of deerskin skirts under his feet. Boots, soft long hair, sweet and lovely smile.

At the age of six or seven, she looks as good-looking as a little fairy who descended from the sky.

It's just that after a while, he became like a group of dirty children like them, playing with dust all over his body, but he thought that Xiao Liu was the most beautiful.

Niu Daxiong sighed.

He actually knew that it was because of his low self-esteem, and he always felt that Xiao Liu, who had dust on his body, could be closer to him, but even a fairy who fell into the world was still a fairy, and it was impossible for him and her in this life.

The young man misses the face of the beautiful woman by mistake, and misses it all his life.

Niu Daxiong's eyes widened: "Why, it has nothing to do with you whether it looks good or not. Just you bastards, even if you talk about it, you will insult Miss Six. If you break up, go and do what you should do."

……

At this moment, the three of Xiao Qi were walking on the road, Xiao Qi asked casually while pondering: "You guys said, did I appoint to marry Chen Yu'er?"

A young man jumped in front of Xiao Qi, walked backwards and said, "That's not a big deal, who can change what your brother has decided? To put it bluntly, whoever your brother asks you to marry, Bibi you see or touch It’s even more serious than killing a woman’s body, you can’t run away, and you have to be responsible for her life.”

"and many more…"

Xiaoqi's eyes lit up: "What did you just say?"

"What did I say?" The boy was lost in the lake.

"You said you bumped into or touched a woman's body?" At this point, Xiao Qi's thoughts became clear, and he clapped his hands: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, if I touched the body of a girl from a good family , then you can’t be responsible for other people’s life? My brother can’t disregard his reputation and let me abandon him from beginning to end. Besides, my brother has always taught me not to let me oppress good people. You can also pretend that you accidentally touched it, the misunderstanding is so coincidental, my brother can't beat me hard."

"It's just... Where can I find a good-looking girl from a good family who I like and let me touch it. Forget it, I can't control that much. I will look for it in the past few days. It's better than nothing. Marry Chen Yuer. good."

The other two teenagers were startled.

"Brother Meng, you won't come for real...this...this is..."

"What's wrong, it's not that I'm irresponsible. Since I'm in charge, it's my wife. It's no big deal if I touch it in advance. In addition, I warn you two, don't tell me about it, or... hehe, Let me show you how to look good."

……

Chapter 356 - Little Seven and the Girl

There are smart people in this world, and Xiao Qi is undoubtedly this kind of person. He seems to be born with a kind of introverted and transparent thinking, which is different from the reckless and subtle thinking of the third child, and also different from Zhen Wu's sharp intelligence and comprehensiveness made him look a lot like Zhang Yuqing.

Both the mother and the son seem to have an exquisite and clear heart. Although on the surface, they seem to be boring when they talk less, and they are kind-hearted as if they have nothing to do with the world, but most of the things in the world are in their hearts. Showing a clear context and essence, especially after they want to do something, they can often quickly figure out a reasonable charter for doing things.

That night.

Xiao Qi sorted out and planned what he was going to do.

The first thing is to find a few loyal people to help him visit and visit, so that he can choose the girl he likes the most, and the second is how to create a misunderstanding.

It is not difficult for a faithful person.

Xiaoqi is different from Xiaoliu.

Even if Xiaoliu gets married, even if Zhen Wu escorts the servants, Zhen Wu will keep a back hand for them to ensure that he has a strong binding force on these servants, in order to make them After they married Xiao Liu, they had to be loyal to Xiao Liu wholeheartedly, even Xiao Liu's future husband would not be able to bribe her, so the people around Xiao Liu, no matter how loyal they were to Xiao Liu, they would also be loyal to Zhen Wu.

But Xiao Qi is different, Xiao Qi is a male.

Zhen Wu only has two biological brothers, the third and the seventh, and the family will probably not be divided, unless when Zhen Wu grows old, there will be too many children and grandchildren, so the family will be divided, but the house will be divided. But it must be separated.

After Xiao Qi gets married, Xiao Qi will be like the third child, leading the servants in their own courtyards to live, and they need to be responsible for all the affairs of their respective courtyards, including the food and clothing of the servants. .

They will have their own small ledgers in addition to the public accounts. In addition to some of their own salaries, some of the annual income from the family property will be distributed to them.

Therefore, the servants in Xiao Qi's courtyard, especially those who have served Xiao Qi for many years, know that when Xiao Qi gets married, they will be assigned to the third room, and they will depend on Xiao Qi for everything in the future.

And Zhen Wu also hoped that they would be loyal to Xiao Qi wholeheartedly, so naturally he would not criticize them too much, even if someone committed a crime and wanted to be taught a lesson, he would tell Xiao Qi and let Xiao Qi handle it by himself.

In such a situation, it is not difficult for Xiaoqi to find a few loyal people in his courtyard who will not complain.

Xiao Qi thought about the people in his courtyard, picked out a few of the most loyal people, and explained the matter to them, and then Xiao Qi saw that it was late at night, so he put this matter aside for the time being and went to bed.

……

For several days, Xiao Qi was busy with this matter.

Not to mention, Jinling City has been prosperous since ancient times, and some girls from ordinary people's homes are also very good-looking. After some visits and selections, Xiaoqi really found a girl who caught his heart.

This girl is a child of a carpenter's family in the south of the city. Her whole body is as pure as a hibiscus coming out of clear water. When she smiles, it warms her heart like the sun breaking through the clouds.

This kind of weakness is a bit like Zhang Yuqing, a bit like Erxian, and a bit like Zhu Yuying who doesn't lose her temper.

Xiao Qi looked at this girl from a distance, with obsession in his eyes, he didn't know if it was because of the influence of his family, he was extremely infatuated with such a girl, on the contrary, he hated Sixth Sister and Chen Yu'er so much Such a bold and free and easy girl.

Xiao Qidang made up his mind.

That's her.

Su Lanlan.

After that, Xiao Qi began to think about how to create a misunderstanding.

Soon, he thought of a way, pretending to be chased, and then accidentally hugged Su Lanlan, it's better to kiss him again, apologize afterwards, and express his willingness to be responsible for her life.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if Su Lanlan is willing to let him go, her family will not let him go, and according to Zhen Wu's willingness to let the third child marry Shi Nuan, Zhen Wu will eventually nod and let the news spread. He married Su Lanlan.

Xiao Qi went through the plan again in his mind, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he made arrangements.

After arranging things, Xiao Qi put on a smile, not only to escape the fate of marrying Chen Yu'er, but also a sense of satisfaction that she didn't want to see Su Lanlan's hard life again.

How can there be so many fates in the world, most of them are arranged with ulterior motives, Xiao Qi inexplicably remembered what Zhen Wu had said, and was very touched for a while.

On this day, Xiao Qi had been waiting early on the road that Su Lanlan had to pass, but accidents always came quietly. The actors had been in place for a long time, but Su Lanlan still didn't come over.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Qi followed the road and found Su Lanlan's home anxiously.

But Su Lanlan's family unexpectedly closed the door at this time.

Xiaoqi was puzzled.

He has observed in the past few days that Su Lanlan's house has never been like this, which made Xiao Qi walk to the door involuntarily out of curiosity, but what Xiao Qi didn't expect was that he gently put his hand on the door, and the door opened. It turned on.
