Rebirth of Yongle Merry

"Kunwu, fetch that blue satin cloak for me, and return it to Commander Zhang."

Hearing Shen Yunxu's order, Shen Kunwu turned around and went to look through the closet.Zhang Fu casually picked up the drawing on the desk and asked, "What is drawn on it?"

"It's the composition of the house."

Shen Yunxu simply freshened up, because he got up late and missed breakfast, and he didn't care about finding other things to fill his stomach, so he went to find Qi Kan with Zhang Fu with the blueprint.In the flower room, Qi Zhaonan held a small shovel and was loosening the soil for the potted plants according to Qi Kan's instructions.

According to past habits, he should have gone out to inspect the construction site at this time, but today he stayed at home, planting flowers and chatting with Qi Kan, obviously to make up for the disaster he caused yesterday.Although Shen Yunxu was angry with Qi Zhaonan for taking away his servant, he had to admit that this man's character was not bad.As for the uncle and nephew, Qi Kan still loves and tolerates him in his bones.

Shen Yunxu spread out the drawings he brought on the stone table, and Qi Kan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yun Xu, did you draw this?"

"The ones that came out overnight were just sketches." Shen Yunxu nodded, and his fingertips landed on the ink lines on the paper, "I once traveled around Huizhou Prefecture, where the structure of the houses is quite distinctive, with halls upstairs and patios downstairs , there is a partition wall between each entrance. I think based on this, an independent house needs four walls to support it. If three or five households are used as a group, the number of walls can be reduced from two to four, and the number of walls can be reduced by two to four. The cost of each house can be saved by eight to ten bucks. Most of the residents in Nancheng are mainly engaged in small businesses. If the houses are built in two floors, with people living upstairs and shops downstairs, they can also solve their livelihood problems at the same time.”

Qi Kan pondered, "If this plan is adopted to remove King Yan's worries, he can allocate another part of the money from the intercepted disaster funds to fill in the gaps in building the house, and the Qi family's construction team will not be in vain. Still losing money. But I need a more detailed plan to convince him."

Seeing that Qi Kan did not object, Shen Yunxu continued, "I only stayed in Nancheng for a few days, so I drew sketches from memory. If Mr. Qi thinks it is feasible, I can go to investigate and draw an overall detailed drawing."

"Yun Xu, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Kan showed joy, "You have done me a great favor, how can I thank you?"

"When the dragon raised its head, I was also in Nancheng, and I was almost crushed to death by the collapsed bricks and trees. Now I should be able to contribute to the reconstruction." Shen Yunxu rolled up the drawings spread on the stone table, "It's just that the time given by King Yan is too short, and there are less than two days left. I have a lot of difficulties in getting the pattern out."

Zhang Fu, who had been standing by their side all the time, interrupted and said: "This is easy to handle. After I return to the mansion, I will report to the prince and let him have a grace period of ten days. I can do this little thing. Yunxu, you don't have to stay overnight." Sleepless nights rushing to work."

"It's not that I'm afraid of working hard and staying up all night. The sooner the house is built, the people sleeping on the street can have tiles to cover their heads sooner. It's just that the plan is not careful enough, and the king of Yan will reject it, and then Mr. Qi will suffer. Scolding." Thinking of Zhu Di throwing a cup in the study yesterday and angrily scolding the old man Qi Kan, Shen Yunxu couldn't help shaking his head, this Yan Wang became fierce, and it was really not easy to dismiss.

The plan was established, everyone dispersed from the greenhouse, busy with their own affairs.

Shen Kunwu stood on the spot with a thoughtful expression on his face, Qi Zhaonan pulled his sleeve and asked, "Kunwu, what are you thinking about?"

"When did you go to Huizhou, but I can't remember at all?"

Shen Kunwu was quite puzzled, he had followed him since he was a child, and it was impossible for Shen Yunxu to travel far away without him.Could it be that he is only 16 years old and his memory is already so bad?Qi Zhaonan pulled him into his arms, stretched out his hand towards his buttocks, "Kunwu, does it still hurt here?"

"...It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shen Kun and Wu's ears were red with embarrassment, Qi Zhaonan let out a sigh of relief and said, "When we get along next time, I will say sorry to your young master and thank you again. He has done a very big favor to uncle this time. The attitude towards him before was really bad.”

"Brother Qi, if you are grateful to the young master, can you do me a favor?"

Shen Kunwu raised his head and looked over, pure and simple, Qi Zhaonan hugged his waist, and smiled contentedly, "As long as my little Kunwu speaks, I will agree to anything."

Shen Yunxu returned to his room with the drawings, and sneezed twice as soon as he stepped into the threshold.

In broad daylight, who is talking about him behind his back?

The sunshine in March was bright and dazzling. Standing among the collapsed rubble, Shen Yunxu saw from a distance that it was a temporary hut.It has been nearly a month since the dragon raised its head, and the emotions of the people affected by the disaster have calmed down, and life has basically returned to normal, fetching water, cooking, coming and going, children crying, and even some shops have reopened for business. Everything is messy. But full of vitality.

From this point of view, Zhu Di is still quite courageous and resourceful.

He picks up a charcoal pen, writes and draws on the paper, and outlines the composition with concentration.A child ran out from the grass shed and followed behind him.He stopped and smiled at him, and the child stretched out his hand and asked him to hug him in a childish voice.

"Brother, hug."

"Little baby, where's your mother?"

Shen Yunxu put down the charcoal pen and paper, bent down and picked him up.The child looked only two or three years old, with short and round hands and feet, and was wearing a coarse coat. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch his little face to tease him.

Zhang Fu got out of the horse-drawn pavilion and broke up with the two accompanying guards.

Walking along the streets and alleys for a while, what I saw in the middle of the messy ruins was Shen Yunxu, who was dressed in a lake blue robe, playing with a young child in his arms. The laughter lit up the warm spring breeze.

He was dumbfounded on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, he wished he could slap himself.

Obviously, Shen Yunxu was three or four years younger than him, but he was calm and elegant, and his temperament did not match his age at all.

Looking at that handsome and gentle man, he actually had evil thoughts!

"Commander Zhang."

Shen Yunxu had already seen him, put down the child in his arms, and stood there waiting for him to approach.

Zhang Fu walked towards him, that porcelain jade-like face was almost transparent under the bright sunlight, and became more and more clear in front of his eyes.The first time he met Shen Yunxu was also in this ruins. Recalling that he was only wearing a thin inner jacket, standing shivering in the cold spring, every time he took a step forward, the distracting thoughts in his heart Crazy grow a bit.

The moment the dragon looked up, the ground tilted and hundreds of houses collapsed.

Is it just to create an encounter between them?

Standing in front of Shen Yunxu, for the first time in 19 years, Zhang Fu felt that he didn't know how to speak.

"Commander Zhang has official duties, so he's here?"

Shen Yunxu smiled slightly and said, Zhang Fu never thought that being obsessed with horse cranes was something shameful, even his father Zhang Yu couldn't control it.But there were charcoal pens and unfinished compositions under Shen Yunxu's feet. While he was working hard to rebuild the post-disaster house, he was having fun and spending almost all his salary on them.During the three or four years that he was older than Shen Yunxu, he really ate rice for nothing.

You can't say it when you hit the horse hanging, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Zhang Fu cleared his throat, and lied casually, "I'm not on duty today, I'm here to visit my friends."

"What a coincidence."

Shen Yunxu sent the child home, picked up the painting utensils on the floor, and prepared to leave.

Zhang Fu hadn't seen enough of that handsome face, and the reluctance in his heart spread like weeds. No matter what, it would be good to get along with Shen Yunxu for a while longer.

"Do you want me to take you back?"

"Don't bother, Mr. Qi sent a carriage to follow me."

"Are you hungry? How about I treat you to dinner?"

Shen Yunxu laughed, he smiled so beautifully, Zhang Fu felt that he could pick up three bowls of rice just by looking at him.

"It's only time, isn't it a little too early for dinner?"

"Oh."

Zhang Fu's disappointment was written all over his face, he stood where he was, watching Shen Yunxu walk away.The sight of ruins became dull without the figure of that person.His shoulder was tapped twice, and someone behind him said, "Hey, what are you looking at, you look like a fool."

He turned his head and said in surprise, "Your Highness the Seventeenth?"

Zhu Quan was casually biting a string of kebabs dipped in hot sauce, with a clever and sly smile on his brows and eyes.

Where does this person have the aura of a prince?

Zhang Fu asked suspiciously: "Your Highness Seventeen alone?"

Zhu Quan casually pointed behind him, "Nuo, pay for me over there."

His bodyguard, Yao Ping, was arguing with the stall owner in front of the roast mutton stall.Zhang Fu's head was full of black lines, and he went out to buy things with the same whole banknotes. Where is Nancheng?It's no wonder that small businessmen can find it.He walked over and took out the change, and paid the bill for Zhu Quan.

"Next time you come to a place like this, remember to bring some change, you know?"

Yao Ping was taught by Zhang Fu and complained in his heart.The Seventeenth Highness came as he pleased, how could he predict where he would go all day long?

Zhu Quan ate all the skewers of roast mutton in his stomach, leaving only greasy hands.

"Have you brought a cloth towel?"

Yao Ping shook his head, his job was a bodyguard, not a little eunuch pouring tea and water, how could a big man carry such a thing on his body.Zhu Quan pulled up his sleeve, unceremoniously wiped it twice, and said, "I'll pay you back for a piece of clothing."

After eating and drinking enough, Zhu Quan thought of having fun.

Stretching out his hand to hook Zhang Fu's shoulder, he asked kindly, "Brother Zhang, what are some interesting places in Nancheng, please take me to see them."

Zhang Fu glanced at Yao Ping, "...I'm afraid the prince will be unhappy if he finds out?"

Yao Ping quickly shook his hands and said, "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything."

Since he didn't know how to make small reports, Zhang Fu felt relieved.The most he went to Nancheng was to play the horse hanging. If Zhu Quan wanted to play, he could only take him there.

"Is His Royal Highness the Seventeenth interested in playing horses?"

"Handling?"

Zhu Quan tapped the ground with the toe of his boot, and Zhang Fu waited for a long time before he heard him say with his chin up, "I can't."

Zhang Fu was about to say "forget it", when Zhu Quan's eyes flashed a dark and sly look, he said with a smile: "I believe it will not be too difficult, I probably understand after reading it twice."

Originally thought that Zhu Quan was just bragging, but after entering the Ma Diao Pavilion, Zhang Fu discovered that this Seventeenth Highness, who is not the slightest prince, is indeed extremely smart.The technique of playing horse hanging pays attention to "looking around the four sides and listening to all sides". When playing cards, you have to look at the top player, keep an eye on the next player, and guard against the opponent. The status of the cards is used to decide whether to follow, play or catch cards.Zhu Quan casually played three yuan and four happiness, blossomed on the bar, and slam all, as if he could see the opponent's hole cards clearly, and he could draw as he wanted.

When he walked out of the horse hanging hall, Zhang Fu looked listless.His innocence was really shattered this day. First, he met Shen Yunxu, which made him realize that he was playing with things and losing his mind.Then when he met Zhu Quan, he was a poker table killer. Even if he played horse hanging for another ten or twenty years, he would not be able to reach his level.And before this person, he really didn't know how to hit a horse!

Zhu Quan triumphantly counted the money he won, and took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Yao Ping.

"I owe you the clothes, pay them off now."

Then, he hooked Zhang Fu's shoulder and asked, "Brother Zhang, you seem very unhappy?"

Zhang Fu glared at him, the monthly salary he had just received, the white money, were all rattling in Zhu Quan's hands, could he be happy?

"When I met you, the one who was with you was your sweetheart?"

Zhu Quan blinked, and a sly look flashed in his bright eyes.A wad of banknotes was stuffed into Zhang Fu's hand, and he said generously, "Take it to buy a gift for your lover, and if you want to pursue him, please remember to thank me this month old."

The ninth bomb: Yandi's horse.

In the early days of the "Battle of Jingnan", Zhu Di confronted Nanlai opponents in Dongba. At that time, he was riding a green horse and was chased by the enemy to the river ditch. He was about to die. In desperation, he asked the mount : "Can you cross this ditch and let me escape safely?"

The horse let out a long neigh as if it understood human nature, and carried him across three river ditches, leaving the pursuers far behind, and finally died of exhaustion.Because of this lucky escape, Zhu Di was able to take Tongzhou, Jizhou, Dezhou, Jinan, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, and then captured Nanjing and declared himself emperor.In order to commemorate the loyalty and bravery of the horse, after he moved the capital to Beiping, he built a horse temple in Dongba to enshrine the statue of the horse.

It is said that after the establishment of the temple, the plastic horse came to life and often appeared at night.Dongba is also known for its rich water and grass, which is suitable for herding royal horses, and once became the imperial horse garden of the Ming Dynasty.It seems that all the fierce generals who conquered the world have a horse that cannot be neglected, and Zhu Di, king of Yan, is no exception. How could he be so handsome!
