393 Wan Xue'er Has Come to Beijing
It is definitely a very happy thing to celebrate the New Year happily.
Whether it is the Goryeo, the Japanese who received the reward, or the people in Little Luzon or the Nanzhang, the Ming Dynasty will celebrate the New Year, and they will also celebrate with the Ming Dynasty on the New Year.
The lonely white crane set up a copper pot at home and prepared mutton, beef tripe and other items.
The water was boiling, and the white crane stared at the boiling water in a daze.
Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and many families are planning to celebrate the New Year. Because they become rich, they naturally have to celebrate the New Year. Many children have put on their New Year's clothes, and there are already sporadic sounds of firecrackers on the street.
Bai Minghe also gave holidays to the guards, Dongchang and others. Naturally, someone arranged for the rotation of the company. Those who were idle could indulge themselves as much as possible. Whether they were pulling out the big table to make a bet or going out, they were allowed. Originally, Bai Minghe's arrangement was to find the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen to have a drink and have a good New Year.
When he walked outside the door of the quiet room, Shu Liang blocked Bai Minghe.
Shu Liang told Bai Minghe: In the extraordinary times, people have been sent to send things for the New Year. Nangong didn’t know about the death of Concubine Hang and the death of the prince, and the chaos in the court was not suitable for Nangong to know at the moment. Bai Minghe’s identity is very special, and it is even more unsuitable to enter Nangong at this time.
Of course the courtiers won’t know, but long live there!
Bai Minghe understood, so he set up a copper pot on the main hall of the intermediate court alone, so he had to celebrate the New Year by himself.
I stared at the boiling water for a long time until Bai Hong came in from outside the door.
"Young Master, the second master is here."
Bai Minghe nodded, and then Bai Hong went to lead Bai Minghe into the house. When he saw his brother, he naturally had to bow. After seeing Bai Minghe gave the gift according to Confucian etiquette, Bai Minghe said, "I will say that you will have a big gift when you meet your brother. Are you tired? But I will not listen to it either. So sit down. I am considering eating mutton or beef tripe first!"
The white-famous Lu smiled faintly. He could not ask any of his brother's worries.
He handed a bag at hand to Bai Hong and signaled that Bai Hong would hold it. Then he said to Bai Minghe: "My mother asked someone to bring a letter from home and gave me two clothes. My mother's letter said that my brother was a high and heavy man, and ordinary clothes were not suitable for wearing. So I learned the wool weaving method and knitted a scarf for my brother."
The white-famous crane took the scarf, which was very exquisite.
It is not woven with thick thread, but with fine wool thread, and a layer of high-quality silk is sewn on the other side.
Bai Minghe stood up and bowed in the direction of Guanzhong: "I thanked my mother."
After sitting back, Bai Minghe asked, "Minglu, do you know why I didn't go to my second uncle for the New Year?"
"My teacher said that my brother is watching every move, countless people are watching, officials in the capital, merchants and people are watching. So even if the brother is in the bustling street market, he is still walking in the desert. Because the brother doesn't have to care about everyone's thoughts in the bustling street market, and the people in the bustling street market will never understand his brother's thoughts."
"It's really a lingering!" Bai Minghe responded with a smile.
In fact, the Baiming He can understand this sentence, just one word, lonely!
As I said back then, it is the word "lonely".
"Brother, many adults went to the teacher's house yesterday. They were discussing the significance of the four ports on the Japanese island. Brother should not just collect more taxes, or have an extra port for shipment."
I heard what the white-famous Heron said. The white-famous Heron became interested.
"What do you think of that heron?"
"My brother should have four pliers to tightly control the trade of the entire Japanese island. Then let the Japanese island start to use our Ming coins, and further control specialties. Let the Japanese island become the real vassal of the Ming Dynasty in decades!" Bai Minglu also thought about these seriously.
Bai Minghe just nodded slightly, but made no comments.
"Bai Minghe, your brother is a talented person!" A hearty laughter came from outside the door.
Bai Minghe quickly got up and prepared to give a big gift. The voice said, "No need to pay tribute today. I just heard that you have prepared a good wine and came over to drink a glass. Why do you drink when you always kowtow?"
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand to support him, and Bai Minghe's waist, which was half bent, straightened up again.
However, Bai Minglu still completed the gift in a regular manner, and then stood aside. Bai Minghe turned a wink and asked Bai Hong to prepare a copper pot immediately and prepare a new dish.
Zhu Qiyu really didn't care about these things. He picked up the chopsticks and picked some mutton and put them in the sesame paste and put them in his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction: "When it comes to food, you white-famous crane can definitely be called the number one person in the Ming Dynasty. The sashimi is quite delicious, and the big red shrimp is even more exquisite!"
"There will be more in the future. The origin of the big red shrimp is still a bit far from the Ming Dynasty. Twenty thousand miles is not a close distance!"
"Sit, sit all!"
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked him to sit down, but the white-known He dared to be with him, but the white-known Hero did not dare.
After tasting it, Zhu Qiyu said again: "White-name crane, why don't you announce the intention of that strategy? But let people guess. Although your brother guessed one or two, it is still far from the real purpose."
"Long live, many adults discuss this matter in the Shanggong, which is also a process of spreading their thoughts. The cabinet can only know it. Too many people know it may not be a good thing. At least wait for the minister to make more preparations. After all, this is a century-long plan, and it is not allowed to make any mistakes, nor can anyone use monsters."
"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. It's interesting to hear a rumor." Zhu Qiyu thought about it and it was. Bai Minghe's idea of the first island chain is definitely at the strategic level of the century. He established a defensive circle for the Ming Dynasty on the sea, and then continued to go out according to this circle, followed by the second island chain and the third island chain.
This idea is not suitable for ordinary ministers to know at the moment.
This genius's general idea is that Yu Qian, the martial arts master, was shocked by it, let alone an ordinary person.
"I heard that Mo Chou, the courtesan in the capital, asked twice to invite him to play a song for you?" Zhu Qiyu smiled.
Bai Minghe also smiled: "Long live the news, but it's not just Mochou. The courtesans in the capital are willing to play a song for me and then change them to me. My music has been priced very high recently."
"The bad fight, the bad fight!" Zhu Qiyu smiled cheerfully.
The depression in my heart passed. The prince had been dead for more than two months and life was still to live. Many memorials before the New Year made Zhu Qiyu very happy. The cabinet's methods also improved the efficiency of government affairs several times. I believe that it will definitely be better after the running-in. The feeling of prosperity in the Ming Dynasty made Zhu Qiyu very happy.
As we were chatting, Hu Yi actually came too.
After seeing the ceremony, Hu Yi smiled and said, "Long live, the old minister's family is in his hometown. I was thinking that Bai Minghe had many disciples who went abroad, but it was almost the New Year's Day. There was a cold pot and a cold stove in the mansion, so I asked Bai Minghe to treat him to at least have a hot meal."
This is obviously false. Hu Yi said it from a first-rank official with many servants at home. How could he be an ice pot and a cold stove in the kitchen?
Although he is the opponent, Hu Yi still likes Bai Minghe very much.
At least even if Bai Minghe did something bad, he would not have any disgusting thoughts about these old ministers. This was praised by the court officials.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty just smiled heartily and was very happy.
Next, many ministers arrived, and no one of the thirteen cabinet ministers was bad. The white-known Lu became a senior servant who was responsible for errands and entertainment. Those who could change plates and add dishes for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could not be ordinary servants. The white-known Lu always believed that this was his honor.
In the afternoon, Bai Hong ran to Bai Minghe's ear and whispered a few times.
"Speak loudly!" He dared to whisper in front of the emperor, which was a serious crime. So Yu Qian spoke directly.
Bai Minghe was a little embarrassed: "It's Wan Xueer who has arrived."
In the main hall, whether it was Hu Yi, Gao Gu, who was over 70 years old, or the young Ming emperor, they could hardly stop laughing. Wang Wen said directly: "It is rumored that Bai Minghe refused Mo Chou to offer songs twice. It turns out that he is waiting for a vacant position. No wonder, no wonder."
The white-famous crane's face was said to be red, but he was still stubborn.
"No, it's just that the New Year is coming. I asked Wan Xueer to bring some people from Nanjing and arrange exquisite singing and dancing to celebrate the New Year!" Bai Minghe was thinking, as if the thing he prepared was not as good as tonight.
"Okay, then I'm waiting to appreciate it!" Zhu Qiyu was also a young man. He was drunk at this moment and was determined to read Bai Minghe's joke. You said it was singing and dancing, but if there wasn't, how would you explain it?
Bai Minghe grinned. Although this was a little different from what he originally thought, it was a rare opportunity.
"Long live, Rong Chen will make arrangements." After continuing to make up his mind, Bai Minghe will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and signaled that Bai Minghe could leave the seat. When Bai Minghe went out, he heard these big men in the house choreographing their scandals.
Bai Minghe left the seat and went straight to the backyard. Wan Xueer was sitting on the warm seat next to her drinking hot porridge. Dozens of young and beautiful women were also standing in the lower heads. Many low-level maids were carrying their luggage into the house.
"It's been hard for you to be so far away." Bai Minghe pushed the door and came in. When he saw Wan Xueer, he said directly: "I need a singing and dancing, and I have to hold on any longer. And..." Bai Minghe said halfway, and glanced at these people. How did Wan Xueer not understand, and then pointed a few fingers: "Let the rest go down and comb it!"
"Yes!" The girls bowed and retreated.
All of these are selected by Wan Xueer. It can be said that each of them is qualified to compete for the No. 1 Courtesan in Nanjing.
Chapter completed!
