Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"Then...then...won't you take me with you?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "If I take you with me, what's the point of training."

Su Lanlan couldn't help but wanted to wipe her tears again, Xiao Qi rubbed Su Lanlan's face gently and said, "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, before I leave, I will entrust my sister-in-law and sixth sister to take care of you, you You can look for them when you encounter anything, you stay at home and wait for me to come back, and in a few years, a brand new, more mature and more responsible Zhen Meng will appear in your eyes again."

Su Lanlan lowered her head and responded. Although she had been persuaded by Xiaoqi in her heart, she still couldn't resolve the reluctance in her heart.

Xiao Qi smiled at this moment and coaxed her: "By the way, I have some good news for you, do you want to hear it?"

Su Lanlan raised her head, her big eyes were full of doubts.

Xiao Qi said solemnly: "My elder brother said that he wants to invite your parents to have dinner at home."

The doubt in Su Lanlan's eyes gradually turned into shock, and then turned into strong surprise.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I can still lie to you, how about this, you pack up, I'll go home with you and have a look."

Su Lanlan nodded repeatedly.

In fact, she has a lot of things to say to her parents. She wants to tell her parents that in the Duke’s mansion, the older one accidentally got lost. She wants to tell her parents that there is a small lake here, where there are always colorful carp swimming. I want to tell my parents that the food here is also very delicious, and there are many kinds, you can eat whatever you want.

She remembered that her parents had enviously chatted with her about the life of the Duke's wealthy family, and even wanted to know what the tables and chairs of the Duke's family looked like, so she wanted to share all these with her parents.

Su Lanlan suddenly asked Xiao Qi cautiously: "I...I...can I bring some gifts back for my father and mother."

"It goes without saying, it must be brought." Xiao Qi said with a smile.

He has always felt guilty towards Su Lanlan's family. Now that Zhen Wu has admitted Su Lanlan, he dares to make up for it openly.

It's just that Xiao Qi didn't expect that when they returned to Su Lanlan's home in the afternoon, Su Lanlan's parents didn't feel that Xiao Qi owed them, but their enthusiasm made Xiao Qi feel a little overwhelmed.

Later, through chatting, Xiaoqi learned that his sister-in-law not only helped Su's father find a vacancy in the artisan bureau, but also helped Su's family buy a high-quality paddy field and a store in the city.

The sudden prosperity of the Su family made the neighbors envious. Even the family of the policeman in the alley used to nod and bow politely when they saw Su's father and Su's mother.

The people in the alley now, who don't know that the daughter of the Su family has entered Zhao Guogong's mansion, and she has a big backer behind her.

This seems to be more affordable for ordinary people.

After Su Lanlan noticed these changes, all the previous minor grievances disappeared at this moment, and she looked at Xiao Qi with more joy than before.

……

Chapter 369 - Han Wang Treats Guests and Coincidentally Meets the Prince

Which one is more likely to change the world alone or be assimilated by the world?

In the evening, Zhen Wu inexplicably thought of this question again.

But before the difference, this time he seems to have found his answer. After so many years, he has finally gotten used to the operating mode of this era bit by bit, gradually ignoring the concept of wives and concubines, and gradually understanding The notion of hierarchy in this age.

Even if there are some things he still can't understand.

But just like when he graduated from university, facing the rules in the workplace, the different developments brought about by different family backgrounds, and facing some injustices in the society, he adaptively began to polish the edges and corners of his body. I have smoothly integrated into this era.

If you want to change the people's popular perception, you can't just shout slogans and change the system.

It has to go through the subtle influence of several generations.

Therefore, when Zhen Wu took Xiao Qi to Chen Mao's house the next day, Chen Mao's reaction to Xiao Qi having a housemate was beyond Zhen Wu's expectations, but somewhat unexpected.

Chen Mao was even more generous than Zhen Wu had imagined, and even complained that Zhen Wu was making a fuss out of a molehill.

In Chen Mao's heart, there is absolutely no need to come to the door to apologize for such a trivial matter.

This made Zhen Wu a little dumbfounded.

Even after Xiao Qi went to find Chen Yu'er, Chen Mao still understood and said to Zhen Wu: "Young people have uncertain temperaments, and the Duke doesn't have to care too much about it, not to mention that since Yu'er is a regular wife, she should also behave like a regular wife." , must not be able to do such a thing as being jealous, the Duke's actions made the humble official a little uneasy."

Zhen Wu opened his mouth and sighed: "Don't think too much, I just treat Yu'er as one of my own, and I don't want to make her sad, and it's always my seventh brother who did something ridiculous, so I should confess my guilt." Here, Zhen Wu said with a serious face: "I will also tell you today that I will strictly discipline the seventh brother in the future, and will not let him wrong Yu'er in the slightest."

"Guogong is too serious, so it doesn't matter. I have known Guogong for many years in a humble position, and I have always admired Guogong for being a man. Seeing brothers and brothers, I am at ease, so Yu'er is actually a blessing for her to marry. "

Zhen Wu saw that Chen Mao was serious, so he didn't want to say anything more, for fear that if he said too much, it would cause Chen Mao to think wildly, and it would not be good at that time, so he changed the subject and talked about military affairs with Chen Mao.

They chatted until almost noon, when Zhen Wu took Xiao Qi and left.

And when Chen Mao sent Zhen Wu and the two away, he turned his head and walked towards the back house.

On the road.

Chen Mao suddenly thought of some rumors about Zhen Wu in the past, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly for a while, and when he returned to the room, he sighed with his wife: "I used to see Duke Zhao approaching women, and I thought it was Princess Yong'an who was wearing a tight corset." , I didn't expect it to be caused by family traditions, so looking at it this way, Yu'er is really a blessing for her to marry into such a clean and affectionate family."

Chen Mao's daughter-in-law nodded. Oftentimes, the family style of a family is reflected in these details. Just when Xiao Qi had an extra person in the room, Zhao Guogong personally pressed him to plead guilty. This is enough to explain something.

In fact, she and Chen Mao have similar thoughts on this matter. It’s not a big problem for a girl from an ordinary family. her daughter.

However, Chen Mao's daughter-in-law still gave Chen Mao a hard look and said: "Since you know that he has a good family style, even if you don't want to control yourself, then you should also control your sons. They also have people in the house. You don't want to reprimand them any more. Be careful that in the future they will be a little different from other people's temper."

Chen Mao blushed, and pretended to understand half of the sentence: "Don't worry, you must care. I'll teach those bastards a lesson in the evening."

……

On the other side, just as Zhen Wu returned home, the housekeeper sent an invitation.

Zhen Wu was slightly puzzled. In fact, ordinary invitations could not be sent to Zhen Wu at all, but those who could be sent to Zhen Wu were those with different identities, except for acquaintances.

"who?"

Zhen Wu took it while speaking.

The steward said respectfully: "It was sent by the Palace of the King of Han."

Zhen Wu's footsteps paused: "The person who came, do you have anything to say?"

It was beyond Zhen Wu's expectation.

The housekeeper shook his head affirmatively, and then said: "No, just let the little one be handed over to the uncle."

Ah.

The corner of Zhen Wu's mouth twitched, Zhu Gaoxu was really gone.

Don't say to invite him in person, don't say anything, just rely on an invitation to let him go to the banquet?

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu didn't invite people like this.

This time, could it be that Zhu Gaoxu still wanted to have an affair with him because he hadn't looked for Zhu Gaoxu all this time?

interesting.

"Okay, I see." Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Go ahead, if you reply to the post, I will call you again."

The butler left in response.

While Zhen Wu was playing with the invitation, he walked towards his courtyard.

When he returned to the house, Zhen Wu opened the invitation, which contained the content that three days later, the Palace of the King of Han would organize a wedding banquet, and wanted to invite Zhen Wu to join in the fun. After Zhen Wu finished reading, he closed the invitation and threw it aside, then tapped At the table, I began to think about whether to go or not.

Speaking of which, recently Zhu Gaoxu can be said to be full of ambition.

Before, Zhu Di sealed Zhu Gaoxu to Yunnan. Zhu Gaoxu was not happy about it. When he found Zhu Di, he burst into tears and cried, and kept saying, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did I get sent so far away?" ', even if Zhu Di tried to explain well, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't be coaxed well.

In fact, Zhen Wu could vaguely guess Zhu Di's intentions. How could it be a distribution to Yunnan? This move itself carries the recognition and trust of Zhu Gaoxu's ability, because whether it is the fetters of the Nanyang countries or the tenderness of the local chieftains , are all things that Zhu Di values.

It is even exaggerated to say that Yunnan is as important to the southern border as Beiping is to the northern border.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have let his favorite and trusted adopted son Mu Ying go to guard Yunnan, and he went there for many years, and finally died in Yunnan.

Needless to say, Muying's ability also shows the importance of Yunnan.

But Zhu Gaoxu is unwilling, what can Zhu Di do?

Zhu Di thought of Zhu Gaoxu's contributions and hard work when Jing was in trouble, and finally softened his heart, and agreed to Zhu Gaoxu's idea of ​​staying in the capital for a while, but because Zhu Gaoxu had not entered the fiefdom, the three guards according to the prince's practice were not implemented, which made Zhu Gaoxu Found an excuse.

Just a few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu kept running to the palace, and finally got Tiance Guard into his hands, and became one of his guards.

Among the guards of the Great Ming Dynasty, in terms of honor, they belonged to the guards in the capital, and the most noble of the guards in the capital belonged to the Shangzhi Guards directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, that is, the personal guards, and the next few belonged to the Dudufu of the Five Armies Several guards under the jurisdiction of Beijing.

And Tiance Guard was one of the guards under the jurisdiction of the former mansion.

In fact, these are not important.

What's important is that the name Tiancewei is a little different. In just a few days, Zhen Wu heard Zhu Gaoxu say something to others with a grin: "Back then, Emperor Taizong of Tang was appointed Tiance General, but Today, I, the King of Han, have Tiance Guards to protect me. '

Okay.

This dares to be compared to Li Shimin. Why, do you want Zhu Di to stop following Li Yuan's old path, and want Zhu Di to make him the prince directly?

But why didn't he ask Zhu Di if he would accept Li Yuan's script? If Zhu Di gave him a sigh of relief on the spot, it would be considered that Zhu Di felt sorry for his son.

Moreover, Li Shimin's concept of Tiance Mansion is full of talents.

How does Zhu Gaoxu's Tiance Guard compare?

Li Shimin is not as crazy as him.

Look at Zhu Gaoxu's shock, even if he doesn't keep a low profile, there's no need to show off at the mansion, right? I don't know what's going on in his head.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu's brows twitched irritably. He was only regretful that Tian Cewei was not under the jurisdiction of his right mansion, so this matter had nothing to do with him, so he couldn't intervene, otherwise Zhen Wufei would break into Han Wang's mansion go.

But no matter what, now that it has developed like this, what else can I do?

Are you going to this banquet again?

Zhen Wu shook his head. There is no point in going to the banquet. With Zhu Gaoxu's current floating method, if he can listen to his words, he will be damned. Moreover, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi don't know what to think when he goes away like this.

Let's wait for another chance.

At this time, Zhu Yuying, who was teasing her son in the back room, saw Zhen Wu coming back. She coaxed her son twice, walked out, and started talking to Zhen Wu about a poetry meeting, and wanted Zhen Wu Accompany Xiaoliu to play together.

Zhen Wu was just getting annoyed and didn't have the heart to talk to Zhu Yuying.

However, after Zhen Wu echoed a few words, he suddenly realized: "What time did you just say?"

"Three days later, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuying was puzzled.

not very.

It's just that there is a ready-made reason.

Zhen Wu said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, I just have time."

Zhu Yuying didn't doubt that there was him, and said with a smile: "That's it. I'm afraid I won't be able to do what Xiao Liu has to do. Since you have time to play with Xiao Liu, you can tell Xiao Liu later, she will be thinking about it." I have been waiting for a letter for a long time."

"Success." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go and tell Xiao Liu now."

Zhu Yuying nodded with a smile.

And when Zhen Wu told Xiao Liu about this, Xiao Liu immediately jumped up with a whimper of joy. Zhen Wu was very moved when he saw it.

……

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

On this day, Zhen Wu arranged guards, took Xiao Liu and four or five girls invited by Xiao Liu, and went to the Qinhuai River together, and then everyone boarded a second-floor painting boat and started to play.

Today is a lively day, probably this group of little girls have been looking forward to it for quite a long time, as soon as they got on the boat, they started to have fun one by one, Zhen Wu watched these little girls play, unconsciously relaxed Quite a lot.

Among them, Zhu Xiuxiu is the most daring. The other girls were still drinking fruit drinks, so she took out the wine and urged the others to drink with her, and persuaded: "This opportunity is rare today. Everyone in the family knows that we are with you." Liu Dezi and her brother came out together, allowing us to play for a long time, and Liu Dezi's brother is here, it doesn't matter if we are drunk, at worst, we will go home and say that Liu Dezi's brother has agreed, who in the family will You can't blame us."

Zhen Wu's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he said angrily: "Don't use me as a shield, especially Zhu Xiuxiu, I will tell your brother what you just said later."

Zhu Xiuxiu made a bitter face after yelling.

However, in the blink of an eye, she began to signal Xiao Liu to persuade Zhen Wu.

After Xiaoliu's heart was moved, he just looked at Zhen Wu pitifully, but Zhen Wu stared back at him. After Zhu Xiuxiu saw it, he raised his forehead and sighed: "Liu Dezi, why are you so worthless, why don't you Dare to choke your brother."

"Bah, you are not the same in front of your brother." Xiao Liu retorted.

The two suddenly quarreled.

But after a while, Zhu Xiuxiu actually came to Zhen Wu's side, tugged on Zhen Wu's sleeve and begged, "Brother Zhen, you can make the decision and let us have a drink."

Zhen Wu glared at Zhu Xiuxiu, but this girl was not afraid of Zhen Wu, instead she called for several other little girls to pester Zhen Wu.

For a moment, Zhen Wu's head grew bigger.

These little girls all belong to the lord's family in the army, and the family has a good relationship with Zhen Wu, and they are sisters with Xiaoliu. Not to mention being afraid of Zhen Wu, they even dare to hug Zhen Wu's arm and threaten Zhen Wu Wu wants to jump into the river.

After Zhen Wu was so entangled, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I won't do it, but you can only drink a little, don't be greedy, Xiao Liu, please show me, if anyone drinks too much, go home I'll take care of you here, do you hear me?"

Xiao Liu and the others didn't care about the second half of Zhen Wu's sentence, they only heard Zhen Wu's answer, and they cheered and went to play the game.
