After the New Year, Zhu Wenkui stayed in the capital and did not return to Fengyang to take office, and his two-year tenure as the prefect of Fengyang was completely over.

The two official evaluations are good, which can be regarded as a positive word.

Fengyang's development in the past two years is not too fast, but the foundation is not bad, Zhu Wenkui's envisioned development has just been on the right track and left, Zhu Wenkui himself is not very happy.

If you work for another three years, you will definitely achieve remarkable results.

But there is no way, it is time for him to get married.

In the list of concubines for him, in the end, the honor of the eldest princess fell to a small county order family.

The so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, the imperial front secretary had a good time screening and selection, and only then did he select a girl who was both virtuous and handsome, although she was not from a famous family, but it was also regarded as a three-generation root and innocent family.

On the day of the wedding, Zhu Yunwen was still very uncomfortable, this was the first time he was a father-in-law in two lifetimes, and it was the first time that the eldest girl went to the sedan chair, so when facing his daughter-in-law's kowtow to tea, he was still a little at a loss.

As for his in-laws, Zhu Yunwen did not add extra grace, the county order is the county order, and he can work how he should do his work in a down-to-earth manner, and he can't expect to marry a girl and soar.

When the bride is sent away, the wedding banquet in the canopy hall is officially begun.

"Your Highness."

In the toast of hearty drinking, Zhu Wenkui, who was dressed in red, was also very happy, although it was an arranged marriage with no emotional foundation, but in the end, the daughter-in-law was still very beautiful, and Zhu Wenkui was already very satisfied at this point.

Therefore, at the wedding banquet, Zhu Wenkui's spirit was very good in all aspects, and he kept toasting at each table, and when it was time for Fengyang's old colleagues to come to the table, Yu Qian pulled Zhu Wenkui's sleeve and let the latter sit down.

"Your Majesty, can you say how to arrange the next step?"

Zhu Wenkui shook his head slightly, and then heard Yu Qian whisper: "It is a top priority, Your Highness, don't think about work, giving birth to an heir first is the top priority." ”

In the struggle for the dragon and the heir, you don't even have a son, who dares to put a bet on you.

The advantage of age is always Zhu Wenkui's biggest advantage.

Start a family and a gentleman.

Again, something that doesn't listen to it, or an impossible possibility.

Zhu Yunwen lived as an auspicious man and survived the brothers Zhu Wenkui and Zhu Wenqi to death, to the effect that Zhu Wenkui's son, the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, inherited the throne.

This possibility may not exist.

"Hongu is awake."

Zhu Wenkui patted Yu Qian's forearm, picked up the wine glass and left the table, he still had to salute.

As for the main table where Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet were, Zhu Wenkui did not go, first, his father had already quit drinking, and second, he didn't want to bother.

The topic of conversation at the main table was too serious and not lively at all.

I also went to be trained a lot, and I rushed to the fun of the big day.

The wedding banquet lasted until late in the Huagai Palace, and as soon as it was over, Zhu Wenkui took the chariot to leave the palace and returned to his mansion cave room, no way, who let the position of the East Palace be undecided, in this palace, there is no residence for him, the eldest prince.

And when they woke up overnight, the newlywed Yan'er entered the palace again, and routinely greeted Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui, followed by a lengthy process.

Worship the ancestors of the temple, praise the first.

When everything was over, Ma Enhui took her daughter-in-law back to Kunning Palace to talk about family life, presumably there would be some gifts to be rewarded, and Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Wenkui back to Qianqing Palace.

"It's a bit of a man."

Father and son said goodbye, Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Wenkui, who was a little taller than himself, and showed an old father's loving smile on his face: "Now that your father and I are looking at you, it is difficult to connect you with the broken boy who climbed up and down all day long and ran around more than ten years ago." I grew up and got married. ”

Zhu Wenkui was a little at a loss, he had the impression that he had not heard such words from Zhu Yunwen's mouth for too many years.

It's too much like an old man.

"Sit down."

The father and son sat down at a small round table, and Shuangxi took away the newspaper on the table and put some tea and fruit.

"Your achievements in Fengyang in the past two years, I have seen it, you have done a very good job, although there was a mess in dealing with the affairs of Xu Wangfu, but the trouble was made, and finally forced their family to bow their heads and move, although there are some suspicions of chickens and dogs, it is just ugly on the face, nothing matters."

Zhu Yunwen first definitely encouraged Zhu Wenkui, and then continued.

"I haven't made up my mind about what you'll do next, do you have any places you want to go?"

Can the father let himself choose?

Zhu Wenkui didn't believe it in his heart, so he replied honestly: "Let my father call the shots." ”

Zhu Yunwen also knew the temperament of his eldest son, even if he was allowed to choose, in the end, this problem would still be pushed back, and he groaned for a while.

"You just got married, this focus is still to take care of the family, so let's do it, the work of the Ministry of Rites is relatively leisurely, you go to serve as the right waiter, in charge of the State Guest Department and the Foreign Affairs Department, usher in the diplomatic work sent to exercise it, Yu Qianzhen will be sent back to his hometown in Hangzhou to take up a post."

State Guest Division, Diplomacy?

Zhu Wenkui's heart set off a wave in his heart, and a flush rose on his face with excitement, and he got up and bowed.

"Thank you, Father."

The prince studied diplomacy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a proper succession plan.

In this capacity, he has frequent contact with the main political figures of the Minglian countries, and after he is familiar with each other, will he not succeed to the throne smoothly in the future?

"Although the work of the Ministry of Rites is leisurely, you can't be careless."

Zhu Yunwen still mentioned a sentence: "You have to mediate the relationship between the countries of the Minglian and the contradictions that occur, and the Minglian cannot make any trouble, which is also very important, you are the prince, and some things are not done well under the watchful eye, if the cabinet holds you accountable, I will not be able to excuse you." ”

"Yes, son-in-law is awake."

Zhu Wenkui, who had a bumper harvest in his feelings and career, was full of red face, and naturally he was full of promises, so he almost made a military order.

Seeing that his son was so happy, Zhu Yunwen knocked on the table twice, frowned and said, "Don't get too carried away, I will send you two words, I hope you can remember." ”

"Listen to my father's edict."

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was a little dissatisfied, Zhu Wenkui immediately sat upright, looking respectful, and withdrew all his joy and excitement.

"Stability."

Stable?

Zhu Wenkui couldn't understand the two words given by Zhu Yunwen for a while, but he didn't show confusion, and nodded honestly: "Yes, Erchen remember, you must carefully understand the meaning of these two words, and pursue them in your work, and never let your father down." ”

I made up my mind in my heart, and when I left the palace, I went to discuss with Yu Qian, if it didn't work, in the future, in this Nanjing City, there would be a good teacher to ask for.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Zhu Yunwen saw that Zhu Wenkui was a little unable to sit still, and laughed at the moment.

"I don't want to stay with you for long, so hurry up and pick up your daughter-in-law and go home."

"Hey, hey."

Zhu Wenkui scratched his head and said goodbye: "Erchen retires." ”

"."

Zhu Yunwen scolded with a smile, watched Zhu Wenkui leave with a smile, and sighed as he looked at his back.

"The eldest is married, and the second child is estimated to be soon, and I will be left alone in this Qianqing Palace."

"It's still early for the second prince."

"Huh."

Zhu Yunwen laughed, noncommittal.
