After leaving Kunning Palace, we walked towards Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yunxi originally followed the old man in front of him, but when he arrived at Fengtian Hall, he was told that the old man was not there, but in the side hall, where Concubine Shu lived.
So Zhu Yunxi sent someone to inform him again before going in.
Speaking of Concubine Shu, she was also very lucky. She was originally a palace servant with a low status, but because she gave birth to a daughter to the old man, she was directly promoted to Concubine Shu, and she still had to rely on the old man to live.
Not only has his status been improved, but he has also been in the limelight for a while. Speaking of which, many people in the harem are really jealous!
Grandpa Huang, your grandson is here!
After Zhu Yunxi entered the palace, he stood by the charcoal basin and let the heat drive away the coldness on his body.
The old man was in the second door, seemingly bending down to tease the little Fu'er in the cradle.
Are you done talking so quickly? The old man asked from inside.
The grandson didn't have anything to say to them, he just asked a few questions about home affairs! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The old man straightened up beside the cradle and said with a smile, your mother-in-law looks like a shrewd and ignorant woman, but she actually has a kind heart. Your father-in-law looks honest, but she is actually a fool!
The old man must also know about the Zhao family’s concubinage!
Zhu Yunxi knew this very well and felt that the coldness in his body was almost gone. He walked inside and said, "Why did the emperor call his grandson here?"
It’s no big deal? The old man said, putting a cloth tiger into Fu’er’s cradle, and shook it twice with a smile.
When he saw little Fu'er, Zhu Yunxi felt very strange. If he didn't have the throne in his family, he would rather have a daughter for his first child.
What a good girl, but she is too ugly at six pounds. But Fu'er has pretty features, especially her big eyes, which are so black and clear that she looks like she can talk.
This girl is so nice! Zhu Yunxi smiled and reached out to touch Xiao Fu'er's face. She will definitely be a beauty in the future......
Bang, the old man slapped Zhu Yunxi's hand down again.
What girl? The old man said angrily, this is your sister-in-law!
Zhu Yunxi,......................
After a long while, she finally said, from now on, Liu Jin will call her aunt!
Yes! The old man smiled and said, although our daughter is young, she is senior!
The old man is about to become an old naughty boy!
Zhu Yunxi smiled in his heart and said, "Grandpa Huang, please call your grandson. Is there something wrong?"
Two things! The old man didn't look at him, but looked at Xiao Fu'er. You are now a father. The birth of your eldest son is a big event to be announced to your ancestors. After the new year, you go back to your hometown in Fengyang to worship your ancestors.
Fengyang, the central capital, is where the Zhu family's ancestral tomb is located. Over the years, the old man has allocated a lot of money there to build the imperial mausoleum and the imperial city. I heard that the imperial mausoleum there is even more magnificent than my own Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Originally, Zhu Yunxi was not very interested in building the imperial mausoleum and imperial city in Fengyang.
Building the imperial mausoleum and the imperial city is not a small project. It has been built on a large scale three times since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. A large amount of money and food were invested. The imperial mausoleum is acceptable, but the imperial city can only be looked at and is not used at all.
(Fengyang Imperial City later became the place where Zhu Di imprisoned Zhu Yunzhen's descendants, Zhu Yunxi and his descendants. The imperial city was very large, and a lot of investment was made during the Hongwu period, but it was later destroyed by war)
However, people always have to miss something. The old man will always remember this thing all his life. As the emperor, there is nothing wrong with doing so.
You should have gone last year! The old man glanced at Zhu Yunxi displeasedly, but he came back halfway to meddle in other people's business!
After the New Year, my grandson will go! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, go to the ancestor’s mausoleum to worship!
You are a direct grandson, not only do you want to worship him, but you also need to repair it! The old man said again, take a good look, don't do anything improper and wrong your elders!
Worshiping and repairing are very tedious and can even be said to be physical work.
The ancestral tomb mausoleum was built on an imperial scale. The top of the mausoleum is filled with special soil to prevent the growth of weeds and trees. When worshiping, in addition to burning incense, praying and kneeling, you must also climb to the top of the mausoleum along the walls of the mausoleum.
Use a bamboo basket to pick up soil on the top of the treasure, which means adding soil.
Don't worry, your grandson knows! Zhu Yunxi took over.
The last time he gave up the ancestor worship was because he came back to save Lan Yu. Zhu Yunxi knew that the old man had always been unhappy about this matter, so he changed the topic.
What's the other thing?
What's your happy event? The old man smiled and said, Zhang Shan has arrived in Beijing to report on his work.
It turns out that this is the case. The old man has long said that Zhang Shan's daughter is the concubine of the emperor's grandson, and he has already made a decree.
This... Zhu Yunxi hesitated, Ning'er had just given birth, and his grandson had a concubine...
There's no need to waste time! The old man waved his hand and said, "You are so excited, you are still pretending to be honest!" After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi up and down, "Who do you look like with this fake energy? You don't want to marry me."
?
The grandson is entirely at the mercy of Grandpa Huang’s arrangements!
You have to take charge of the government, and you have to have more children! The old man turned around and sat down, and said seriously, while you are at a good age, give birth to me!
~~~
Zhang Shan has indeed arrived and has been staying at the Guild Hall in Hangzhou for a few days.
There was no decree to summon him to the palace, so he met in the capital in the same year, visited the six cabinet ministers, and talked about some local affairs. Although he seemed to have no official duties, he left early and came back late, which was a bit busier than in Jiangnan.
Zhang Shan's daughter Rong'er would sometimes take her maid to walk around the capital to appreciate the customs of the capital. Logically speaking, the daughter of an official family had no reason to wander around the streets at will. But Zhang Shan knew that once his daughter entered the palace,
It's extremely difficult to figure it out, so I'm a little tolerant.
Moreover, this is the future concubine of the emperor's grandson, and the royal guards are also secretly protecting her.
The bustling Chang'an Street in the capital is draped in red and colorful, and the crowds of people are noisy like weaving carriages and horses.
Among the crowd, Zhang Ronger, who was dressed in a plain cotton robe and accompanied by a clever maid with pigtails and a green coat, was looking around.
Zhang Rong has a slim figure, and she has the charm of a Jiangnan woman. The girl next to her has a fair face and strange eyes, making people look twice at her wherever she goes.
Miss, look over there!
The maid's name is Xiao Shunzi. She is the most naughty age when she is fourteen or fifteen years old. It is her first time in the capital, and everything she sees is new.
Pointing to the front, he saw a candy man selling a candy man’s stall and said with a smile, “We don’t have such a big candy man in Hangzhou!”
Although they are masters and servants, they love each other like sisters. Zhang Ronger said dotingly, although our Hangzhou is good, we can't compare with the capital after all! Just buy it if you like, and make people laugh when you yell!
The two girls walked to the stall while chatting and laughing.
Seeing that they were two girls, the stall owner smiled and said, what do the two girls want?
Xiao Shunzi puffed up her cheeks, blinked her eyes, pointed at the lifelike candy figure in the shape of Chang'e flying to the moon and said, "I want this! Where are you, miss? What do you want?" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly fell to the side.
At the sugar-fried chestnuts stall, I suddenly had a problem, why are there chestnuts? They are all sweet, so how do I choose?
Zhang Ronger covered her mouth and said with a smile, "You greedy cat, buy whatever you want. Today, I will let you eat as much as you want!" After saying that, she touched Xiao Shunzi's hair.
Miss, you're the best! Xiao Shunzi clapped and smiled.
First I bought a candy man, and then I bought a pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Xiao Shunzi had the same hand, but he frowned and worried as he walked on the road, which one should he eat first? Miss, look at Chang'e, who is as beautiful as you, how can I say it?
Her innocent look made Zhang Ronger both fond and envious.
Once upon a time, she was also such a girl, but now she is about to enter the palace and become a woman. Although it is the most noble place in the world, she feels a little sad when she thinks that in the future, she will never be like she is today.
Eat the candy first, otherwise everything will fall into ashes soon... Oops!
Before she could finish speaking, she felt something was around her. Before she realized it, something bit her ankle.
My body jumped, and I didn't know when a ferocious pug appeared at my feet. The dog stared at Xiao Shunzi eating food in his hand, and barked fiercely.
Miss, are you okay? Xiao Shunzi asked urgently.
Zhang Ronger was afraid and took a few steps back. She said with lingering fear, "It's okay!" and bit my skirt!
Humph, you stinky dog! Xiao Shunzi scolded.
Let’s go! Zhang Ronger said.
Woof woof! woof woof!
The two of them walked forward, but the pug refused to let them go, and for some reason, barked after them.
Whose dog is that? Why aren’t you watching? Xiao Shunzi shouted in desperation.
The surrounding vendors and pedestrians all looked over.
Woof woof! woof woof!
The dog was still surrounding Zhang Ronger, jumping and barking very fiercely.
With a stabbing sound, the dog bit Zhang Ronger's skirt and started tearing it apart.
Girl, let’s go! This dog is the most annoying. He will bite anyone who passes by here! A street vendor nearby said, waving his hands to drive away the dog, but instead of being afraid, the dog barked even more happily.
Stinky dog!
Xiao Shunzi also went to catch up, but the dog suddenly turned around and ran towards her, scaring her so much that she dropped the candy man and chestnuts in her hand.
Dead dog!
Xiao Shunzi cursed loudly and flew up with a kick, hitting the dog's head.
Woo!
Haba whined and turned over twice.
Suddenly, a respectable woman rushed out of the main entrance of the nearby restaurant and cursed at their master and servant.
Where does this bastard come from, dares to kick my old man!
Girl! The kind-hearted stall owner nearby said anxiously, this woman is unreasonable, you should leave quickly!
Oh my darling! The shrewish woman came out, picked up the pug, and continued to curse, are you foreigners going crazy? You can kill such a small dog and blind your dog.
Eyes, if something happens to my precious baby, can you afford to pay for it?
He cursed people in the street, and pedestrians who saw the excitement immediately gathered around him, talking with each other, and craning their necks to watch.
Zhang Rong'er was blushing. She had a good upbringing and didn't want to argue with this kind of person. She pulled Xiao Shunzi and said, "Let's go!"
But the woman still refused to let me go. She kicked my son and wanted to run away? Bitch!
You are the bitch! Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but shouted back, you are not a bitch, you are a beast!
As he spoke, he shouted in a clear voice, if you were a human, how could you give birth to a dog son? I think you are an out-and-out old bitch!
