In order to please herself, Chen Qiong searched for women from the Chen Dynasty royal family and dedicated them to herself. This is understandable and needs to be affirmed.
Zhu Yunxi would never admit that the people in the city lord's mansion were not well managed these days by those in uniform.
But who could refuse? What he saw when he opened his eyes was young and good-looking women, not tall and thick-looking Jin Yiwei with murderous faces.
Zhu Yunxi quietly stared at the Jin Yiwei standing in front of him.
"Your Highness, someone is coming from Yingtian City."
Jin Yiwei, who never left, just thought about it for a moment and then told the matter in the most vague terms.
Zhu Yunxi didn't understand it at all.
It is not uncommon for people to come to Yingtian City.
For example, gunpowder and some military weapons could only be manufactured in Yingtian Mansion and then specially transported by the imperial court.
Zhu Gaochi asked directly: "But the people from the Ministry of Works, last time I reported to the court and asked the Ministry of Works to send more craftsmen, have they all come?"
Jin Yiwei, who came to report, shook his head.
Zhu Gaochi let out a light sigh, and then said, "Is that someone from the Ministry of War?"
Jin Yiwei shook his head and whispered: "They are from the Zhongshan Prince's Palace..."
"Zhongshan Prince's Mansion?"
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi unexpectedly spoke at the same time.
The two turned and looked at each other in tacit understanding.
The Xu family of the Prince of Zhongshan did not participate in this southern expedition.
Neither Xu Huizu, the eldest son of the King of Zhongshan and Duke of Wei, nor Xu Yingxu, the second eldest son, nor Xu Zengshou, the fourth eldest son, entered the southern expedition.
It's not because the imperial court wants to put aside the Zhongshan Prince's Palace.
But because since the King of Qin Zhu Fang left Qin Fan and returned to Beijing, and later went to Zhejiang Daoqin Envoy to handle affairs, Qin Fan had fewer people to command the frontier troops, so the imperial court specially issued a decree to call the Xu family The brothers who were originally training as frontier troops in Qin Fan continued to stay in Qin Fan to serve as commanders.
This is why this time, in the Southern Expedition Army, which almost included all the nobles and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, there were no people from the Zhongshan Palace.
It's just that someone from the Xu family is here at this time...
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and then smiled slightly: "I think it is the Prince of Zhongshan who is counting the days and feels that it is time to fulfill the deal we made in Yingtianshi with you."
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head: "You mean, the Xu family is here to ask for land?"
It is reasonable for the Xu family to come to ask for land.
King Xu Da of Zhongshan was originally the number one man in the Ming army. Even after his death (the Duke was available), the power of the Zhongshan royal family in the Ming army should not be underestimated.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, lowered his head and smiled: "The Prince of Zhongshan has been greatly favored by the emperor over the years. The Xu family has no less than 10,000 acres of land. If it were transferred to Jiaozhi Road, how much would it be?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and stared at Zhu Yunxi faintly.
In Zhu Yunxi's embarrassed expression, Zhu Gaochi said, "I figured it out, no less than 100,000 acres of land."
Zhu Yunxi hummed twice and curled his lips and said: "A total of more than 32,000 acres, if replaced by Jiaozhi Road, it will be more than 320,000 acres..."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this number, which was three times higher than the number he reported, he couldn't help but was stunned. After a while, he said quietly: "10% of the land of Yingtian Mansion."...
Yingtian Mansion has about 3.4 million acres of land (current data, the number of acres in the early Ming Dynasty was not found).
From 300,000 acres to 10%.
Zhu Yunxi sounded like this.
He couldn't help but think that within a hundred years, there would be families in half a city and families in one city in the Ming Dynasty.
Decades later, most of the Songjiang Mansion belonged to the family of someone who was known as the loyal and loyal pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
It just feels so ridiculous.
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, he heard a burst of footsteps coming from outside.
The teahouse in the back garden is designed to be ventilated from all sides, with bamboo curtains and tulle separating the pillars.
inside and outside.
At the only entrance and exit, there is only a layer of gauze blocking it.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yunxi saw that Zhu Shangbing, who had been either out of the city to train his troops or in the city lord's palace in the past few days, hanging out with the women of the powerful gentry and gentry families in Qinghua City whom he and Zhu Gaochi had found for him, had a look of debauchery on his face. He lifted the veil and walked in.
"Brother Hei, I have brought all these girls here for you."
Zhu Shangbing waved his hand and pointed outside as if he was taking credit, shouting something while he was already sitting on the futon in front of the tea table.
Zhu Yunxi squinted at Zhu Shangbing, who was sitting in front of him without a formal appearance.
Seeing that his face was rosy, there were no bruises under his eyes, his waist was straight and tight, and he looked so happy, I felt a little more at ease.
However, Zhu Gaochi said directly: "How come I didn't see you going to the camp outside the city, and you didn't stay away from me, so why did you come here?"
Zhu Shangbing, who was drinking water, immediately put down the teapot, turned to look at Zhu Gaochi, and said, "Who do you think I am?"
Zhu Gaochi closed his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and refused to talk.
But that expression undoubtedly betrayed his thoughts.
Zhu Shangbing was not angry. He grabbed a bunch of fruits on the table, picked off one and threw it into the air. Then he raised his head and opened his mouth to eat the fruit into his stomach.
After playing it twice, I confirmed that I was still on target.
Zhu Shangbing then hummed and said, "I still understand the rules. These days, brother, I'm just teaching those little girls to sing."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Shangbing's eyes showed a hint of something wrong with his thinking, and he stared at Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly became angry and glared at Zhu Shangbing: "Do you have such a leisurely mood?"
Zhu Shangbing hummed, clapped his hands, puffed up his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xi told me that if we want long-term peace and stability in Jiaozhi Road, everyone in Jiaozhi must speak Chinese and practice Chinese etiquette. I don't understand these, but I think it’s feasible to let everyone in Cochin sing our Ming Dynasty songs.”
Does this guy even know this?
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Shangbing, who was full of pride and pride, with a questioning look on his face, and then looked back at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly and nodded.
Zhu Gaochi sighed deeply on the spot and raised his hand to slap his forehead: "It's true that you did something wrong."
Zhu Shangbing moved his mouth, and it was the first time he could crush Xiaopang in terms of IQ, which also made him sigh in his heart.
He immediately turned around and shouted outside.
"Come in, everyone."
After shouting, the guy didn't forget to put his fingers into his mouth and whistle loudly. ….
He looked exactly like a young boy from the Jiaofang Department, which made Zhu Gaochi stunned for a while.
Zhu Yunxi put his hands on his legs and waited quietly to see what Zhu Shangbing wanted to do today.
And with Zhu Shangbing's voice.
More than a dozen beautiful figures who had been waiting outside lined up, bowed their heads, clasped their hands, and walked in one after another.
The tea room that was originally quite spacious suddenly became crowded and cramped.
Zhu Shangbing seemed to be a different person as he began to point at the women who came in and talk about his speech.
"It's rare for Chen Qiong to do a human job, but we really didn't realize that he has this ability."
As he spoke, Zhu Shangbing clicked his tongue.
"He himself obeyed the order and did not leave Qinghua City, but he was still thinking about Brother Hei's affairs. He sent people to Jianchang City and other places. He had many demands. Fortunately, he found more than ten girls who met the requirements. them."
Follow the explanation of Zhu Shangbing, who seems to have changed his profession at this moment.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi both looked at the dozen girls standing in front of them.
According to Zhu Yunxi's guess, the age difference between the ten people in front of him is less than three years at most, and they all look like thirteen or fourteen.
Probably because of the recent weather, Chen Qiong specially changed their decorations for them.
Under the aqua blue gauze, there is a layer of plain white short-sleeved blouse with some egg yellow. A pair of blue embroidered shoes are waiting under the feet, and the head is decorated with the hair ornaments of the Central Plains women who have not left the palace.
It can be said that it is extremely attentive.
The aqua blue gauze is draped down, and the two straight arms are faintly visible, but the important parts are covered by the plain white yolk blouse.
This has the charm of the Qinhuai girl in March, who is half-hidden and half-hidden, wanting to refuse but still welcoming.
In addition, the dozen or so people were all about the same height, and standing in front of them all made Zhu Yunxi feel like he was in another world, as if he had gone back to the time when he watched those female draft teams.
Zhu Gaochi glanced twice and then lowered his head.
My marriage is about to be finalized, and I heard that she is the daughter of the commander Zhang Qi's family. His personality and appearance are both top choices, and his mother is also very satisfied.
Probably just waiting for this person to return to Beijing from Jiaozhi Road, maybe they will get married to the other party in Yingtian.
He is the Crown Prince of Yan, and there is no need to think about so many things when visiting the King of Yan. It would be nice to have a princess in charge of the back house.
After thinking about these messy things, Zhu Gaochi quietly glanced outside at Zhu Yunxi who was staring at these girls.
"what are you up to?"
Zhu Yunxi looked away from the women whom Chen Qiong had spent a lot of effort to find, and looked calmly at Zhu Shangbing in front of him.
Zhu Shangbing put his arms on the table and stretched half of his body in front of Zhu Yunxi.
I saw him with a mean look on his face and ambiguous eyes.
"I mean, brother Hei, although you are young, powerful, and mighty, you don't need so many girls to serve you."
There were a few more black lines on Zhu Yunxi's face.
Zhu Shangbing was at a loss and continued: "Besides, I will abide by these rules. Although you are the grandson of the emperor who supervises the country, even if you don't have to abide by them all, you can't go too far. If the emperor finds out later, I'm afraid you will It’s not a good outcome.”….
Half of Zhu Yunxi's face was covered with black lines, and he stared gloomily at the thing in front of him.
But Zhu Shangbing became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "So, I did the math, at most four of you can stay with you. Washing the clothes, making the bed, folding the quilt...dressing...warming..."
There was a muffled sound.
Zhu Yunxi had a dark look on his face, and locked his eyes on Zhu Shangbing with a gloomy look. The murderous look in his eyes was sharp: "Why are you warm?"
"Of course it's warm... hiccup..." Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and hurriedly sat up straight. His eyes moved to one side to look at Zhu Yunxi, and then he dared to whisper: "I want to give these girls to Chen Qiong. We also brought them back and taught them how to sing..."
Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his voice and said, "Is it just for singing?"
"Of course it's just singing...?"
Zhu Shangbing finally reacted belatedly, and his voice became smaller and smaller in the end.
And just then.
Outside the tea room, footsteps were heard again.
The sound is not as dense as before.
It seems deserted and thin.
Before Zhu Yunxi and others in the tea room could react.
Outside the tea room, a cold and angry voice came in.
"My daughter never thought that while the imperial conquest was away, my clan son from the Ming Dynasty was still thinking about listening to music."
woman?
Dare you mock the descendants of the old Zhu family?
Zhu Shangbing frowned and quickly used his hands and feet to turn around and look outside.
Zhu Yunxi frowned.
Zhu Gaochi on the side trembled all over when he heard the voice outside. He looked resentfully at the dozen girls in front of him, and then rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Shangbing with great resentment.
But he was the only one who stood up helplessly, clasping his fists and facing outside.
"My nephew is visiting my aunt. She is far away from Yingtian on Jiaozhi Road. I don't know why my aunt is here, but she has traveled thousands of miles to come here in person."
Brother Chi’s aunt
mother?
Couldn't that be the one from Zhongshan Prince's Palace?
Zhu Yunxi's brows finally relaxed, and he sat upright, staring calmly outside the tea room.
A few moments.
I saw Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan, leaving two servants outside the tea room and walking into the tea room alone.
Xu Miaojin, who came to Qinghua City at this time, probably because of the sea breeze, the skin color on his face was darker than the last time he saw him, but he looked more energetic.
Under the flowing gauze and light-reflecting outer veil, there is a blue and green placket with wide sleeves.
Again, due to the etiquette system of the Central Plains, it was invisible.
Not as charming as the dozen or so girls in the tea room.
However, it is full of charm and durable, and the more you look at it, the more it becomes unsatisfactory.
Xu Miaojin walked up to Zhu Yunxi with tense cheeks. Zhu Shangbing, who was in front of the table, also remembered the other person's identity and moved aside quickly, not wanting to bump into Zhu Gaochi who was bowing behind him.
Zhu Gaochi was already panicking. Looking at Zhu Shangbing's stupidity, he could only frown with a stern face.
This room.
However, Xu Miaojin put her hands together and bowed in front of Zhu Yunxi gracefully.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Xu, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor."
Zhu Yunxi stood up immediately and wanted to help him, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. ….
All he could do was follow his footsteps, and his outstretched hand could only be waved meaninglessly.
"Aunt Xu is an elder and she is not in the capital at the moment, so there is no need for you to be polite."
Zhu Gaochi also hurriedly stepped forward. His body no longer seemed heavy at this moment, and he was making tea and pouring water at the tea table with very strong hands and feet.
In the blink of an eye, the tea was poured, and the futon mat made by Zhu Shangbing was thrown aside with disgust. He took out a new futon mat from under the table, held the hem of the clothes in his hands and wiped it.
After he finished, he said with a flattering face: "Sit down, my dear aunt, the tea today was brought from Hangzhou. It is the first new tea of this spring, the kind that cannot be drunk in the palace."
This is really my little aunt, the kind that I can kiss.
Zhu Gaochi just felt that he went out today without looking at the calendar. If he had known that his aunt would come, he would have refused to go out. At least he wouldn't have been able to hang out with these ten little aunts here.
Xu Miaojin's face was still calm, and she just glanced at Zhu Gaochi faintly.
Then, she slightly opened her lips and said, "Young Master Yan is very tired. I can drink tea that is not available in the palace today."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned, feeling that he was really suffering and couldn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.
Everyone in this world knows that tributes from various places, especially the new tea from Qiantang each year, will not send the best to the palace.
The tea that can be used as tribute and sent to the palace is the best tea of the year that is first-class or second-class below.
After all, everyone knows, and no one can predict that if the best tea is sent to the palace this year, tea of the same quality will grow next year.
The tea farmers, tea classes, and local officials below know this.
The emperor and nobles in the palace also knew it.
This is the unwritten margin.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the pitiful way that the little fat man hesitated to speak, and was about to open his mouth to explain to him.
He was about to speak.
Xu Miaojin's face suddenly changed, and she became colder. A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes stared at Zhu Gaochi: "Your mother let you stay in Yingtian, and your Majesty allowed you to go to Jiaozhi Road in order to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty." Expand the land, make achievements, and stabilize the people. Are you here to drink tea? Or are you here to let people search for women so that you can listen to music?
When your mother left Beijing last year, she repeatedly told me that she must take good care of you and keep an eye on you. She must not be indolent or arrogant and extravagant.
Don’t you know all this?
Now that the army is out and the affairs of the country and the dynasty are undecided, are you becoming arrogant and extravagant? You are the Crown Prince of Yan, a son of the clan, and your Majesty’s grandson. You must set an example.
Inspire people to do good deeds instead of such nonsense! "
For a moment, the only thing left in the tea room was the gentle but harsh questioning voice of Xu Miaojin, who had just arrived.
Zhu Gaochi's head almost hit the ground, but he didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
The aunt in front of me is indeed about the same age as me, but she is really my aunt, and she is the sister of the Prince of Zhongshan who has the best relationship with her mother.
Zhu Yunxi on the side also looked gloomy and did not dare to speak.
This Aunt Xu is criticizing Sang and Huai.
He is the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country, and this status is higher than the seniority relationship between relatives and relatives.
This is also the reason why Xu Miaojin saluted himself as soon as he came in.
First the king and his ministers, then the elders and the young.
She couldn't scold herself directly, but using her elder status as aunt to scold Brother Chi, her younger nephew, no one could find fault.
Are all members of the Xu family really such smart people?
Zhu Yunxi shouted in his heart.
Because of the solemn atmosphere in the tea room, he could only think quickly, his eyes constantly wandering around everyone.
Finally, Zhu Yunxi's eyes stopped.
sorry!
"Aunt Xu, Zhu Shangbing did this!"
Zhu Yunxi patted the table and pointed to Zhu Shangbing, who was confused and didn't know what happened or what situation he was in.
Without waiting for Zhu Shangbing to refute.
Zhu Yunxi had already shouted loudly: "Aunt Xu, please listen to my explanation."
"Auntie, the things you saw today were all done by Brother Bing!"
"It's none of Brother Chi's...and my business."
"They're all Brother Bing!"
"He is the culprit!".
