Rebirth of Yongle Merry

The people who are building the house are eager to welcome the bride to enter the door, so they renovate the entire courtyard.There are winding corridors, courtyards and pavilions, and the houses are connected together. Even if they are not dignitary, they can still be seen as a small rich family.The construction is almost finished, probably due to the delay in the early stage of work, so they temporarily hired people to rush to finish the rest of the work.

Shen Yun carefully measured the distance between the flower garden and the corridor. People who appreciate flowers pass by under the corridor, usually only for a long-distance view, so he thought for a while, and then adopted the irregular arrangement method commonly used in Jiangnan gardens.

The free planting is uneven and scattered, and the layers are divided into distances, distances, and density, and the front and back are hidden. It is a kind of natural beauty when viewed from a distance.

But it was obvious that the man behind him was quite dissatisfied with his planting method.

"There is no distinction between the distance between plants and rows, and there is no emphasis on symmetry and balance. It is simply a mess."

Shen Yunxu straightened up calmly and calmly. It was the first time for him to be criticized face-to-face for his technique. Obviously, in terms of thinking, there was a big gap between him and the people behind him.

When the foreman saw Shen Yunxu being scolded, he immediately dropped what he was doing and came over.

"Qi Guanshi, is there something wrong?"

The man stopped in his footsteps and taught him with a cold face, "Even if you are in a hurry and temporarily hired outside, you have to teach them how to do things! You let him pull up all the flowers and trees that have been planted and plant them again. !"

After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.Shen Yunxu called him from behind, "Officer Qi, could you please move to the corridor and take a look at the flowers and trees I planted, and then decide whether you want me to plant them again?"

The man turned around, his face with a straight nose and thin lips showed indifference and ruthlessness, "If you don't want to go back to work, you can leave immediately, but I won't pay you half of the wages!"

"I can replant."

Shen Yunxu sighed helplessly in his heart, "What is the request?"

The man gestured, "Take this path as the central axis, from big to small, neatly."

Shen Yunxu resigned to his fate and pulled up the planted flowers and trees again.People are supposed to live in a private house, and if you pay too much attention to neatness, you will lack vividness. How is it different from living in a cage?Poor seedlings of those flowers and trees, just planted, were uprooted again.

"Son!"

Shen Kunwu walked over with red eye circles, hesitant to speak.

Shen Yunxu patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry about me, you can do your own thing."

Although it was still spring, Shen Kunwu had done hard work all morning, and his face was covered with sweat.Shen Yunxu felt a little uncomfortable, smiled at him, blinked like a naughty child, and said in a low voice: "Kunwu, when a cow chews peonies, we can't have too high demands on it, can we?"

Shen Kunwu burst out laughing.

The steward surnamed Qi turned his head as if realizing something, and glanced over with two indifferent eyes.Shen Kunwu didn't wait for him to say a lesson, stuck out his tongue at Shen Yunxu, and hurried to do something.

At lunch time, the foreman brought steamed buns, rice soup and pickles.

More than [-] craftsmen gathered together and finished eating in a gust of wind.Shen Kunwu patted his round belly, no matter what, he finally had a full meal.Shen Yunxu saw that there was still a lot of rice soup left in the barrel, so he asked the foreman, "Can I take the rice soup?"

The foreman was already in his early forties. He looked at Shen Yunxu's slender figure. Even though he was in a state of poverty, the boy's demeanor and deeds still revealed good upbringing.He showed a trace of pity, and said tolerantly: "You can take the remaining steamed buns with you."

Shen Yunxu knew that he had misunderstood, so he didn't explain, but just smiled lightly.

After a whole day of work, at sunset, everything that should be done has been done.Shen Yunxu looked at the tidy courtyard, it was neat and tidy, but it was a pity that it was too rigid and lacked some spirituality, and lost the sense of nature and simplicity.He used a porcelain bowl to scoop out the rice soup left over from noon, and sprinkled it evenly on the newly built white stone in the corner.

The foreman looked at him from afar and shook his head.

The rice soup has probably changed from noon to dusk.It was very rare for Shen Yunxu to remain calm when he was in trouble, so when paying wages, he deliberately gave Shen Kunwu ten extra copper coins.

"Buy two more steamed buns for your son to eat."

Shen Kunwu thanked him repeatedly.

"Uncle Li, the Mongols robbed us of all our belongings, and my son and I have to pay for the trip back to our hometown. We will stay at the ruined temple in the alley opposite. If you need help, please remember to take care of me."

That night in the ruined temple, Shen Kunwu picked up some firewood and lit a fire, and used the light of the fire to count the wages he got during the day.

After tossing and turning, it was only ninety copper coins, but he was obviously very happy, and smiled happily at Shen Yunxu.

"My lord, if we earn money and save some money, we will soon be able to make up for the travel expenses back to Jiangnan."

"Do you really want to go back to your hometown so much?"

Shen Yunxu sat down beside him, rubbed his hair and said, "Kunwu, you've worked all day, you'd better go to bed early."

"I'm not a child, why do you keep rubbing my hair?"

Shen Kunwu protested a few times in dissatisfaction, leaning against Shen Yunxu, and soon fell asleep.

It started to rain in the spring night, and the drizzle hit the dilapidated doors and windows, and Shen Kunwu's simple and straightforward face was reflected in the dancing firelight.Listening to the sound of the rain, Shen Yunxu sat quietly until the light from the fire went out, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It rained all night and did not stop until dawn.

Shen Yunxu asked Shen Kunwu for a few copper coins, bought a bamboo bone paper umbrella at the entrance of the alley, and went to Beihai alone.

In the past, the imperial city of Dayuan was built around the water, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, and palaces lined up.After Zhu Di, king of Yan, took over Beiping, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the palace here as his residence.Standing on the imperial road, Shen Yunxu looked at each other from a distance, and what caught his eyes was the water of the Jinyong River flowing down from the Western Mountain.The prince of Daming is the first class under the emperor, and Zhu Di is the head of all kings. It is impossible for him to enter the palace of Yan Wang, let alone enter, and even take half a step forward.

In the misty world, waves of desolation and helplessness surged.

Shen Yunxu drooped his shoulders dejectedly, with a majestic purple aura and long dragon veins. Compared with the majestic and majestic Miyagi, he seemed so small and insignificant with only one person and one umbrella.Why on earth can he naively think that he has the ability to change everything?

On the royal road, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and a resounding "Prince Returns to the Mansion" rang in his ears, and then in front of Shen Yunxu's eyes, the gates of the palace city opened slowly, first the Lingxing Gate, and then into the first level. Chengtian Gate, one after another, the palace gate at the end can't be seen all at once, spreading out like flowing clouds.

The guards riding the horses opened the way ahead, waiting on both sides of the gate with red lacquer and copper nails, and then came down, and for the first time in his life, Zhu Di's figure fell into Shen Yunxu's eyes.

Brocade clothes with wide sleeves and belts like the wind, if it is a moonlit night in front of you, both Yujie Bailu and Haoyue Qinghui will be overshadowed by this extraordinary man immediately.The scarlet cloak fluttered in front of his eyes, and the dark pattern of the sun, moon, and heavenly dragon embroidered on the robe was clearly visible. With power and status, he was the most glorious and proud son of heaven in the world!

The paper umbrella in Shen Yunxu's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and was blown away by the river wind in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Di had already rode his horse to the gate of Lingxing through the rain, but turned his head at the last moment when the horse's hooves were raised.With faint purple eyes, clear and distant, through the dense spring rain, she looked at Shen Yunxu who was standing on the royal road like a wooden sculpture.It was just an inadvertent look back, which completely extinguished all hope in Shen Yunxu's heart.

He walked back to the ruined temple drenched in the rain, and the silky spring rain still fell silently, completely soaking him from the inside out.

"Young master, why don't you even hold an umbrella?"

Shen Kunwu rushed out the door and pulled him under the eaves.

Shen Yunxu smiled bitterly, and with his cold fingers, he pulled open his collar, took out the purple jade hanging close to his chest, and handed it to Shen Kunwu.

"Drop it, let's go back to Jiangnan."

"...This is a family heirloom left by the madam to the young master."

Shen Kunwu took Ziyu in his palm and raised his head uneasily.Shen Yunxu closed his eyes weakly, a tear slid down the side of his face. "Even if I die, I hope that the bones can be buried on the land of my hometown, Kunwu, let's go home."

After being drenched in rain for most of the day, Shen Yunxu developed a fever that night.

When he woke up the next morning, when Shen Kunwu touched his forehead, it was scalding hot.He took out the purple jade that Shen Yunxu gave him, and he hesitated at first, but this time he might not be able to keep it.He carried Shen Yunxu on his shoulder and led him away from the ruined temple.

The illness was severe, and it was already two days later when Shen Yunxu woke up.

Shen Kunwu pawned Ziyu, found an ordinary inn to settle down, invited a doctor and decocted medicine for him, and waited by his side every step of the way.Shen Yunxu's high fever subsided, and he left the inn to find the local cavalry.They don't have enough money to hire a special carriage to return home, but they can save a lot of travel expenses by traveling with the horse team that transports goods south.

Shen Yunxu turned over and got out of bed, and stretched out his hand to push the window open.

The spring in Beiping is dry and windy, and the trees in the courtyard have gradually spit out fresh green shoots.

He missed the misty rain and peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, and smiled faintly, a ray of vitality rising in his chest.Anyway, he still has nine years, doesn't he?The coolness came from under his feet, and he suddenly realized that he was barefoot and didn't wear shoes.

If Shen Kunwu sees him, I'm afraid he will have to nag him again.

Shen Yunxu was about to turn around to look for shoes to put on, when the ground under his feet suddenly began to tilt, and the house shook accordingly.

In an instant, he realized that it was the dragon raising his head. Before he had time to think about it, he climbed and rolled over the window and door, and ran to the open area of ​​the courtyard in one breath, while the house behind him had collapsed!It was only so close that if he had been lying on the bed instead of standing by the window, he would have been buried alive under the rubble by now.

He climbed over the collapsed rubble, and the street was already in chaos. Countless passers-by rushed out like him, screaming and crying. There were collapsed houses everywhere, and the sky was full of dust.He walked from one end of the street to the other, and Shen Kunwu hadn't come back yet, so he must find him as soon as possible.

Against the crowd, Shen Yunxu kept searching among the ruins.

The situation became more and more chaotic, and some people took the opportunity to start looting the goods of the shops, and injured people were also excavated from the rubble.He didn't know how long he searched back and forth, his feet were cut by sharp rubble and bleeding red, but he never saw Shen Kunwu.

A clear line of troops marched from the intersection, spreading out on the street like a net.

The chaotic situation was immediately stopped, and passers-by retreated to both sides. Shen Yunxu stood among the rubble, watching the man with the golden crown on his head and cloud boots galloping towards him.

It was only a short period of time since the dragon raised its head, but Zhu Di was already in white robes and silver armor, and he led the army to inspect the disaster in a heroic and unrestrained manner.He got off his horse not far in front of Shen Yunxu, and then, accompanied by Zhang Fu and several guards, stepped into the rubble-filled street.

"Are you scared?"

He stopped suddenly, and Shen Yunxu paused before realizing that he was talking to him.

The ups and downs in his life, he would never have expected that the man who ordered the killing of Fang Xiaoru's ten clans nine years later and implicated his innocence, was standing in front of him amidst the rubble after the dragon raised his head. Speak to him in front of you!With lavender eyes, a wise and daring expression, at such a short distance, he can reach it with just a stretch of hand... Shen Yunxu slowly shook his head.

"Zhang Fu, find him a coat."

Shen Yunxu ran out of the room. Not only did he not wear shoes, he didn't even wear a coat.He was only wearing a thin coat, shivering in the slightly cold spring breeze.Zhang Fu took off his cloak and put it on him, patted his shoulder and smiled, then followed Zhu Di who had gone away.

For a moment, I didn't know what kind of feeling came to my heart.

"Master! Master!"

Shen Kunwu crossed the street and ran out of a narrow alley.Shen Yunxu turned around suddenly, and he had already crashed into his arms, and the two of them were weeping in the rubble.

"Kunwu, I've been looking for you!"

"I'm fine. I went back to the inn and saw that the house had collapsed. After asking all the way, I found out that you had already escaped."

Scattered rubble fell all over the ground, and two teenagers of the same age embraced each other and wept. At this moment, the sunlight refracted the dazzling light, and the young life bloomed like a flower.

Zhu Di looked away, and Zhang Fu, who had fallen behind, had already caught up with him.

"Let's go ahead and take a look at the disaster."

"Yandi Luantan (both historical data and gossip)" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The sixth bomb: Yandi Zhilu.

As the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was named the king of a border, and Zhu Di's treatment was 5 shilumi per year, plus 25000 banknotes.Banknotes were issued by the central government of the Ming Dynasty at that time. It is difficult to tell clearly about the ups and downs in value, but according to the situation at that time, 25000 guan banknotes can buy about 25000 Shilumi.Compared with his sisters, the princess and son-in-law receive 2000 shilumi per year, Zhu Yuanzhang favors sons over daughters, and he treats his sons much better.

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were 1013 counties in the country, and the annual income of Zhengqipinzhi County was 90 Shilumi.It can be calculated from this that among Zhu Yuanzhang's 42 children, the treatment of each pair of children is equivalent to that of the ten most important founding fathers, equivalent to fifty or sixty prime ministers; every ten pairs of children is equivalent to the treatment of almost all counties in the country. total official income.

Horror, this bunch of princes and princesses are really eating mountains and landslides, drinking seas and seas, which shows how necessary family planning is in ancient times!
