Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, the third year of Yongle, December.

Prince of Min, Zhu Xun, stayed in the public housing of the Ministry of Works for another day.

The people from the Ministry of Industry saw him finally leave, and then they began to walk out in groups of three or four.

People from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and other ministries also walked out of their official housing and formed a stream of people walking towards the gate of the imperial city.

When they walked to an open area, they naturally started whispering to each other.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to use all the royal family members?"

"Not only that, in addition to the royal family, there are also eunuchs in the palace."

"Neither Zheng He nor Wang Jinghong can be considered eunuchs."

"Shan Shou, my Lord forgot that I led troops out of Yunzhou and headed north last month to join forces with Wucheng Marquis Wang Cong to inspect the border. The court report was written, and each soldier was given a month's rations. Five cavalrymen were placed every thirty miles to prepare for timely reporting of any situation."

"Eunuchs commanding soldiers, ah, it's out of place!"

"That's his ability!"

"King Min is very methodical. He is a man who gets things done."

"Haha, even if they don't do anything, they still have a good life. Why do they come here to compete with us for a job?"

"It's OK if you don't come here to do anything. Isn't it because the old man said that the royal family's children only enjoy salaries and do nothing? People have proposed it, and the emperor has accepted it, so we have to accept it."

"Who could have thought that the emperor would immediately issue an edict asking the princes to bring their sons to the court?"

"The court is going to be lively. We, who are so helpless, can only watch the fun."

"Master Bai, we have to borrow the genealogy of Temujin from the previous dynasty for a few more days. We really can't finish reading it."

"Master Yu, you are too polite. This thing has been in the bottom of the box for many years. What do you think of it?"

"Don't mention it. The eldest prince said that there seemed to be errors in the Records of the Former Yuan Dynasty and asked me to correct them. I just finished a copy and handed it in. I'm afraid there will be more mistakes, so I have to check it again."

"Master Yu has suffered a lot."

"Not tiring, not tiring, it's quite interesting. This person is so old. You won't know until you see it!"

"Oh, Lord Li, I heard that you are also going to control the flood? Songjiang is my hometown, and I will tell you everything I know about the river."

"Thank you, Lord Wu, for your kindness. I was just thinking of asking the locals for advice. Are you walking by the river?"

"It is my great honor to be able to help you, sir."

Zhu Gaochi stood on the steps, looking at the groups of people below, smiled, and turned into Zhu Di's study.

"The uncles are working very hard."

Zhu Gaochi sat down opposite Zhu Di, and without any courtesy took the bowl of sweet soup cooked by his mother in front of his father and started drinking it.

"Your wife needs your food and drink!!! Ah!!! What's the matter with you coming to my place every day to eat my share?"

Zhu Di's beard was so angry that it was about to be crooked.

He went out for fun with Xu, and Xu was visibly in a good mood. The old couple now had some of the sweet love they had when they were young.

When Xu was free during the day, she would stew a bowl of nourishing sweet soup and send it to the study.

But he doesn't like to drink things that are too hot, so he always puts them aside and waits for them to cool down.

Because of this, Zhu Gaochi noticed him and came to drink whenever he saw him.

"My wife is expecting to have a baby, so I don't have time."

Zhu Gaochi had good reasons.

"roll--"

"I'm really leaving!"

"Get back here—"

"Eh--"

While Zhu Gaochi was rolling around in front of his father, Zhang Xin was also rolling around in front of Bao.

The difference is that one is a fake roll and the other is a real roll.

"You're such a grown-up, are you embarrassed?"

Bao couldn't bear to watch Zhang Xin wrap herself up like a tapeworm and lie on the bed like a worm.

"Mom said it was too cold outside and wouldn't let me go out, but she said I should move around, so I moved around in bed."

Zhang Xin stretched out her voice and acted coquettishly.

"Just do it!" Bao rolled her eyes, stepped forward and patted Zhang Xin's butt, then lowered her voice and asked quietly, "The two princesses haven't decided on a prince consort yet?"

"No, it's not big."

Zhang Xin answered without thinking.

"How can they not be small? The older one was born in the 17th year of Hongwu and is now 19 years old. The younger one was born in the 18th year of Hongwu and is now 18 years old. She has become an old maid!"

It has been some time since Bao and Old Man Zhang moved to the capital.

Girls in the capital get married later than those in Yongcheng, but not that late.

Bao couldn't understand what Xu was thinking.

"How can I be old? Am I old enough to be compared to your daughter? If I could not get married, I would just live off my daddy for the rest of my life!"

Zhang Xin buried her head in Bao's arms.

"Bah bah bah!!! Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough! Why do you stay at home to make trouble for me?"

Bao wanted to pinch Zhang Xin's face, but she couldn't bear to touch it, so she just poked it and let it go.

"My sister-in-law doesn't want to get married, but my mother-in-law is not anxious. Why are you anxious, mother?"

Zhang Xin successfully put his head on Bao's thigh and leaned against it firmly.

"I can't explain it to you!"

Bao curled her lips.

"Someone outside is talking nonsense again?"

Zhang Xin thought about it and understood where Bao's idea came from.

"It doesn't sound good anyway."

Bao now had a rank and an imperial decree, and she associated with similar families in the capital, but these people did not dare to say anything in front of her.

But she and Old Man Zhang occasionally went to restaurants to eat or something.

You can hear a lot of gossip.

They are nothing more than women in the royal family, who do not set an example and behave virtuously.

Those who want to remarry do so, those who don’t want to marry don’t marry, those who want to do business do business, and those who want to open schools open schools.

It is said that the princesses took the lead in changing the trend, especially by opening schools and telling students the cases in the Ming Dynasty legal edicts as popular reading materials.

Let these unmarried girls and families with daughters know that according to the Ming Dynasty Law, girls have no protection at all after getting married, and if they bring a dowry, they are more likely to be robbed and killed.

At this time, the marriage threshold for girls in the capital was getting higher and higher.

Ordinary poor men cannot find wives, and those with a little wealth would rather keep their old daughters and pay fines for overdue marriage than easily agree to marriage.

"Mom, you don't have a daughter, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Xin just wanted to tease Bao.

Zhu Anle and Zhu Zhiming have not yet decided on a prince consort. In fact, Xu did it on purpose.
