Daming: From the end of Hongwu

"So brave."

Zhu Di became angry immediately, and handed Zhu Zhanji to Xu Miaoyun, and then said angrily: "Is this treating the military household as his private slave? It's really desperate. When you come back to Gao Chi, you tell Gao Chi to investigate carefully." , no matter who is found to support him, they will all be punished by me."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di was still not reconciled: "Such moths harm the foundation of my farmland, which is no less than damage to the foundation of my great Ming Dynasty. A hundred deaths are not enough to atone for their sins."

Xu Miaoyun handed Zhu Zhanji to Mrs. Zhang, and got up to persuade Zhu Di: "The matter has already happened, what's the use of being angry, besides, Gao Chi, you are not ignorant, and you will definitely handle it properly."

Zhu Di nodded, suppressing his breath irritably, but at this time Zhu Zhanji, who had been quiet all along, burst into tears, and even Zhu Di didn't know if it was Zhu Zhanji who cried or why.

At this moment, I felt a burst of heartache inexplicably.

As if something big happened.

At this time, in Zhang Yuqing's courtyard in the Zhen Mansion, Zhang Yuqing, Erxian, and Zhu Yuying gathered in the room and chatted.

Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and aunt, the three enjoyed themselves happily.

Zhang Yuqing was sewing a small tiger-head shoe, and said to Zhu Yuying with a smile: "Yuying, in the future, you must take care of the boss. After you have a child, you can't let him pamper you so much. He is that person." As a mother, I know best, but I will hurt the younger ones. Look at the younger brothers and sisters in the family. Except for occasionally saying a few harsh words to Sanyong, other things have changed their ways to hurt them. If I didn’t always scold them To the point, every one of them has to be pampered."

Zhu Yuying smiled and said: "Look at what mother said, my husband has a sense of propriety, he is not like what mother said, when the husband left this time, sister De insisted on pestering him to play in the army, what happened? , was punished by my husband, you see, she stayed in her courtyard honestly for the past two days, this girl has never been so quiet in the past."

After a pause, Zhu Yuying continued: "Furthermore, even if the husband loves the child, there is still a grandmother with the child, you put on some clothes for us, no matter whether he is a little monkey or a little bastard, he will always become a talent, otherwise the husband Brothers and sisters, why are they all good and promising?"

Zhang Yuqing laughed at the words, and she said with a smile in her eyes: "You are the only one who can talk, but I, an old woman, like to hear this. Our mother and I are destined, but when it comes to Xiaoliu, the boss is the best. It hurts Xiao Liu, I really didn't expect the boss to be willing to punish her, if you don't believe me, ask Erxian, every time the boss loses his smile, only Xiao Liu can make the boss laugh."

Saying that, Zhang Yuqing pointed to the two sages.

Erxian was looking at Zhu Yuying's belly at this moment, with envy on his face, and he didn't know what was going on in his head, when he heard her mother mention her, he panicked and asked, "What?"

Both Zhu Yuying and Zhang Yuqing knew about Erxian's heart disease. They had no children for so many years, so they heard a lot of gossip.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, her eldest daughter, I don’t know why her fate has been so unlucky, she is also her daughter, although the fourth and fifth younger sisters also suffered along with them when they were young, they have never been like the eldest daughter Worked hard, grown up to be pampered by Zhen Wu, and got married smoothly. Let alone the fifth sister who just got married last year, the fourth sister already has a child.

As for Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, let alone, they didn't even suffer a little bit.

They are all compatriots from the same mother, and Zhang Yuqing is really saddened by this different fate.

I don't know if it's because of the hardships and troubles in the eldest daughter's life, or if it's all concentrated in the first half of her life, just to save a big blessing for the second half of her life.

Zhang Yuqing asked worriedly, "The medicine you took recently still doesn't work?"

Erxian nodded with dark eyes.

Zhu Yuying said with concern: "Don't worry too much. A few days ago, I asked my mother and concubine to help me find some prescriptions. I heard that they are all very effective. Come with me to my place in a while. I will take them for you, and you can change them again Try another recipe."

Er Xian summoned up some hope again, and nodded expectantly.

At this time, Zhu Yuying said again: "Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with our family. Look, my fourth sister and I have a smooth marriage. I heard people say that there is a reason for this matter. Otherwise, you will let me go when you turn around." My brother-in-law drank the medicine for a few days to try, not because I want to tell people behind my back, nor is it because we deliberately shirk responsibility. The main reason is that my brother-in-law’s family has weak children. It's of no use."

Zhang Yuqing nodded after hearing this: "Your sister-in-law is right. After all, it is for the sake of having a child. Letting Zhang Wu drink some medicine is also an experiment. Maybe you will, but these words, you need to talk to your son-in-law in the room." Said, you have to take care of his face in this matter."

Er Xian pondered and nodded, thinking that when Zhang Wu came back, he would find an opportunity to talk to Zhang Wu. Although neither her parents-in-law nor Zhang Wu had said anything about her these years, she also knew that they all want a baby.

If it weren't for her natal family being a bit prominent, maybe her mother-in-law would discuss with her and help Zhang Wu get a concubine.

Try again, Erxian thought in his heart, if it really doesn't work, at worst, he will take the initiative to be that virtuous person.

At this moment, Jin'er's joyful voice came from outside.

"Old lady, princess, great aunt, I heard from the front yard that the county horse has returned, and has already entered the gate and is coming this way."

The three people in the room immediately stood up excitedly.

……

Chapter 229 - The King of Yan's Funeral

In the past few years, Zhen Wu often went out with the army, and each time he was away from home for four to five months, and as long as eight or nine months. This was the first time he returned home in just one or two months.

So Zhang Yuqing and the others were a little surprised when they heard that Zhen Wu had returned.

At this time, the sun was slanting to the west, illuminating the room brightly.

After Zhang Yuqing stood up in surprise, seeing that Zhu Yuying was more reactive than her, Zeng jumped down from the bed. Zhang Yuqing couldn't care about the surprise for a while, and couldn't help but jump in his heart, saying: "Hey, why don't you Still got up."

"Mother, it's okay." Zhu Yuying smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how long it's been."

"That's not okay, you sit down for your mother." Zhang Yuqing insisted.

Zhu Yuying looked out of the house pitifully, like a child wanting to go out to play, Zhang Yuqing didn't like this, and pulled her to sit down again.

Seeing this scene, Erxian, who had been in a slightly heavy mood, suddenly became much lighter. Not only did he sigh in his heart that the relationship between his elder brother and his sister-in-law is so good, otherwise his own sister-in-law would never know it. Looking forward to seeing more, I can't hold back.

After such a short delay, there were already hurried footsteps in the courtyard.

Zhu Yuying's eyes were bright, and she recognized that it was Zhen Wu. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant with a child, Zhu Yuying often thought about what Zhen Wu would look like when she found out. She touched her stomach involuntarily, wanting to tell Zhen Wu , she helped him conceive a child, and they had their offspring.

"Mom, I'm back."

Just as Zhen Wu's voice sounded, the person rushed into the room following the sound in two or three steps.

He paused for a while, and after greeting Zhang Yuqing and the two sages absent-mindedly, his eyes immediately fell on Zhu Yuying's body, so full that he couldn't take anything else.

Zhu Yuying smiled and nodded lightly, as if telling Zhen Wu that she was really pregnant.

Zhen Wu's eyes shifted from Zhu Yuying's face to his abdomen, he imagined a baby growing there, and couldn't help but want to yell out of excitement.

Zhang Yuqing had never seen Zhen Wu like this before. In her impression, her eldest son had always been stable, he was not in a hurry when encountering anything, and he was able to handle everything with ease.

It is more reasonable for the youngest to be as excited as today, as excited as a kid.

However, Zhang Yuqing also understood Zhen Wu, thinking that Zhen Wu's father knew it back then, and it was the same after she was pregnant with Zhen Wu.

"I'm going to be a father soon, and you're still in such a panic. Don't you worry about scaring me, an old woman, or your wife and children?" Zhang Yuqing deliberately reprimanded Zhen Wu with a smile in her eyes.

Zhen Wu reluctantly looked away from Zhu Yuying, and joked with Zhang Yuqing with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the wife and children are with you, don't be afraid of being scared."

The three of Zhang Yuqing laughed for a moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Yuqing said, "Look at your dusty body, hurry up and wash it off."

"Yes."

Zhen Wu responded, and then said to Zhu Yuying: "You rest with our mother's second sister first, and I will talk to you later."

Zhu Yuying nodded with a smile, she just felt that she was pregnant with a child and her husband came back, so there is no better life than now.

After Zhen Wu withdrew, he returned to his courtyard, washing his hands while thinking about how to take care of Zhu Yuying in the future.

Eat first.

Pregnant people can't always come with other people's diet, and when they turn back, they will have the small kitchen in their yard cleaned up. Ying will be hungry.

Then, Zhu Yuying's body is a little weak, so it won't work, you have to take her for a walk in the garden if you have nothing to do, you can't let her stay in the house all the time, and the dogs at home need to be tighter, and you can't let these things startle. Zhu Yuying.

Following Zhen Wu's random thoughts, he slowly washed up. When Zhen Wu came to the courtyard, he saw Xiu'er who was busy at the side, and beckoned: "Xiu'er, don't be too busy, let me tell you." something about you."

Xiu'er put down the work in her hand, walked over quickly with small steps and said: "Master Jun, please order."

Zhen Wu talked about what he thought just now.

While talking, seeing Xiu'er holding back a smile, Zhen Wu asked back, "What's wrong?"

Xiu'er smiled and said: "Earlier, the old lady and the princess have told me that the small kitchen in our courtyard has been cleaned up. As long as the princess wants to eat, we can light a fire at any time. The old lady and the princess have prepared a lot of things Woolen cloth."

Zhen Wu rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, Zhang Yuqing and Xu Miaoyun are both experienced people, what they can think of must be more complete than what Zhen Wu thinks, he is more worried, but so what, do you love your wife? , not shabby.

"That's good, that's fine, that's fine, go ahead." Zhen Wu shamelessly dismissed Zuo Xiu'er, then turned around and went to Zhang Yuqing's yard to accompany his wife.

……

Watermelon garden.

It's not a place where watermelons are grown, but Xiaoliu's yard. Since Zhu Yuying married here, Zhen Wu's family has changed their previous style and rapidly evolved to look like a truly prominent family.

First, they forced all the family members to arrange personal maids, and arranged servants to accompany them when they went out. Then, they sorted out the division of labor among the servants in the house. And uniformly divided all the servants into grades.

For first-class big maids, second-class maids, third-class young maids, or the chief steward of the courtyard, the reward and punishment system has also been finely revised, making the entire Zhen Mansion more orderly.

Although Zhang Yuqing had combed before with the help of Dongmei and the other two, but the combing was not as meticulous as Zhu Yuying's.

This made Zhen Wu have to sigh, after all, Zhu Yuying is His Royal Highness who came from the palace. Without Zhu Yuying, his family's rules and regulations would probably take a long time to slowly improve to become like this.

This reminded Zhen Wu of a joke in later generations. Most people in the world, even if they get rich suddenly, cannot live the meticulous and regular life of a real rich family.

This has nothing to do with how much money you have or how expensive your food is.

This is the way and habit of living since childhood.

There are too many rich and powerful days before it can evolve naturally.

Speaking of Watermelon Garden, this name was chosen by Xiao Liu himself. When Zhu Yuying asked Zhen Wu to name each courtyard, Xiao Liu happened to be playing around with Zhen Wu. After hearing this, he had to call this name on a whim. Wu also let Xiaoliu.

And Zhu Yuying asked Zhen Wu to name each courtyard for convenience.

For the sake of avoiding people often saying things like 'Grandpa's Yard' and 'Old Lady's Yard', Zhen Wu's yard is named 'Chengxiang Garden', Zhang Yuqing's is named 'Jufu Garden', as for the third child's, Zhen Wu named it I chose 'Jingyongyuan', so that the third child should not always know how to be fierce and fierce, but to maintain awe of bravery.

At this time, in the watermelon garden, 14-year-old Xiao Liu listened to the movement outside with his ears upright. After waiting for a long time, Zhen Wu did not come to coax her, and he sat down on the stool angrily and said nothing.

Hongdou, the little maid beside her, asked weakly, "Auntie, the uncle is back, why don't we go and see?"

"Look what, the last time I was punished, I didn't know to look for me when I came back, so I didn't look for him." Xiao Liuyue said more and more angrily, got up and picked up a soft bow from the side, and looked at Xiao Hongdou .

Xiao Hongdou immediately opened all the windows wisely, and then quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Liu put on an arrow feather angrily, then directly pulled the soft bow to its full arms, and shot it out of the window with a whoosh sound, hitting the arrow target not far from the window.

"Hmph, since I have a sister-in-law, she treats me more and more badly. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant with a little nephew, how can he remember that there is a sister like me?"

Xiao Hongdou sighed secretly, thinking that if the uncle knew that his sister was shooting arrows in the house again without telling the uncle whether he remembered this girl, the aunt might be beaten and ran away.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Liu suddenly said, "Xiao Hongdou, go and call me Xiao Qi."

"what?"

"Ah for what?"

Xiaohongdou wondered: "I want to take my anger out on Master Qi again. Grandpa is at home now, and Master Qi will definitely complain to Grandpa."

Xiao Liu didn't listen to Xiao Hongdou, and just stared at Xiao Hongdou.

Xiaohongdou had no choice but to rush to Xiaoqi's courtyard to invite Xiaoqi, but after a while, Xiaohongdou ran back, and she said to Xiaoliu with a bitter face: "Master Qi said he is not at home."

……

There are always these trivial things in the house, but if there are no such things in the house, there will be no fireworks.

On the second day, King Yan's Mansion.

As usual, Zhu Di came to his study, and first dealt with military affairs. After all the matters were dealt with, Zhu Di stood up, looked at the sky and it was almost noon, and thought about going to Zhen Wu's house after eating. voila.

Just as he was thinking about this, San Bao rushed in from the outside.

As soon as Sanbao entered the study, he knelt down and said with a pale face: "Your Highness, something is wrong, the emperor... the emperor has passed away."

Zhu Di didn't believe it at first, he just frowned, but he panicked the next moment, who would dare to talk nonsense about such things!

Sanbao's voice was still ringing in the study: "Nanjing city carrier pigeons sent a message urgently, saying that the emperor's illness gradually worsened in May, until the tenth day of May...to the tenth day of May..."

As he talked, San Bao couldn't speak anymore.

But the meaning has been fully conveyed.

Zhu Di slumped down on the chair all of a sudden, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed by the news.

One day later, Zhu Yuanzhang's edict was also sent to Beiping City. Zhu Di opened the edict tremblingly and looked at it: I have been entrusted with the destiny for thirty years. capital.Those who are not in the order, push this order to do it.

impossible.

Zhu Di's first reaction was that it was impossible, and his mind was full of thoughts, how could his father die, and how could he not let all the sons go to the funeral, he walked up and down on the ground frantically, chanting words all the time.

Until he accidentally fell to the ground, when Zhu Di looked up again, tears were streaming down his face, and he cried loudly: "Why did the father leave suddenly? He was nagging me a while ago, he was still nagging me a few days ago." me."

……

Following the delivery of the edict, the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death also spread in Beiping City, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Wangfu, even Zhen Wu was no exception.

All knew that a new age would bloom.

But the palace has been quiet and there is no movement, and Zhu Di just took Zhu Gaochi's third brother to worship at the palace to mourn Zhu Yuanzhang.

During this period, only Dao Yan came in and out a few times, and no one knew what he said.

Just when everyone thought it would be peaceful forever, however, on this day a week later, Zhu Di suddenly summoned all the cavalry of the guard army, and a total of [-] cavalry marched mightily towards Ying Tianfu.

Eight thousand cavalry marched lightly, along the official road, supplying supplies nearby, and made no secret of the news.
