Chapter 337: Visiting the Duke of Wei's Mansion

That is, on this day, Zhu Di and Princess Xu, who returned from Xiaoling with Yunxi yesterday, came to the Wei Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The relationship between Zhu Di and Xu Huizu is okay, but his relationship with Xu Zengshou is better, so even if Xu Huizu wants to go to the court and is not at home, only Xu Zengshou is at home, and Zhu Di also goes to the Wei Mansion.

Xu Zengshou welcomed Zhu Di and his wife into the house, and after the guests and hosts sat down, the two sides chatted affectionately. From the interesting stories in Peking to the interesting things in the capital, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Naturally, it's impossible for a character like them to just talk about interesting things. After a while, Concubine Xu said, "Fourth brother, third sister can you be at home?" ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Of course at home. Your Majesty has asked our family to prepare for the third sister's marriage, how can the third sister go out to play with the eldest brother's temperament? ”

Concubine Xu smiled: "Then I'll go talk to the third sister." Later, when I got married, and King An was divided into the place, I could see her even less, and talk more while she was still at home. After speaking, Concubine Xu went to the backyard without waiting for Xu Zengshou's answer.

Zhu Di knew in his heart: Concubine Xu's seemingly reckless behavior was to give him a chance to talk to Xu Zengshou alone.

Sure enough, when Concubine Xu left, Xu Zengshou obviously felt relieved.

Then Xu Zengshou chatted casually for a few more words, and asked, "Your Majesty can say where to seal you?" ”

Zhu Di replied: "I haven't said it yet, I tried it a little and he didn't react." Your Majesty should not be able to understand my hints. ”

Xu Zengshou said angrily: "Why don't you give you a real seal?" I don't think he wants to give you a real seal, and he will guard the north gate of the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life. ”

Zhu Di instead defended Yunxi and said: "You can't say that. There aren't many places next to our Daming that can be sealed. The Western Regions have been sealed, Liaodong has been sealed, Myanmar has been sealed, and even overseas places have been sealed, and it is not easy to find a place to seal it again. ”

"Besides, it is not bad to guard the north gate of Daming and stationed in Beiping. This was originally my father's responsibility to me. ”

In fact, Zhu Di was also entangled in his heart. According to Yun Xi's current posture, it must be a very remote place if it is divided, and Zhu Di is actually reluctant to go to a too remote place. In his opinion, Liaodong is very good, but it is a pity that it was sealed to others, and Zhu Song's sealing to Kaiyuan was decided when Zhu Yuanzhang was still there, and he can't have any opinions because of this.

So Zhu Di is also entangled. In fact, he was reluctant to leave Beiping, but it was basically impossible for Beiping to give him a real seal. If you lower the requirements, you can also go to the nearby area, but there are people in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Daning, and he can't reach it.

And Zhu Di is forty years old this year, and he doesn't know how long he can live, and when he arrives in a new place, he may die before the situation is opened, so it is better to stay in Beiping.

Xu Zengshou didn't guess Zhu Di's thoughts, and continued: "In my opinion, Your Majesty knows that you are capable, and I am afraid that you will not obey orders after you are sealed, so I have not blocked you." ”

Zhu Di was shocked in his heart. He hadn't considered the problem from this angle, Dao Yan didn't know why, and he never analyzed the problem from this angle, so it was the first time Zhu Di heard this.

Then Zhu Di, who was not modest, immediately felt that Xu Zengshou's words might not be unreasonable. He thinks that he is still very capable, and he is still above Yun Xi to deal with things, so it is possible that Yun Xi is jealous that he will not give him a seal all the time.

However, Zhu Di did not continue to speak on this issue, Xu Zengshou also knew that what he had said was actually a little too much, even if the relationship was good, he couldn't talk about such a topic casually, so he also talked about something else.

===========================================================

In the backyard of the Wei Mansion, Concubine Xu was with her third and fourth sisters.

Concubine Xu originally only came to find her third sister Xu Mengyu, but since Yun Xi ordered the Xu family to prepare for marriage, Xu Miaojin, the fourth child who was originally very out of love to stay at home, also spent the last time before marriage with the third sister at home, so the three sisters bumped into each other.

To tell the truth, in fact, Xu Da's eldest daughter, whose real name is Xu Feixu, is not very familiar with her third and fourth sisters. She was born in the twenty-second year of Zhizheng (the year of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Duke of Wei Wei by Xu Huizu), and the third Xu Mengyu was born in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, this year she has followed Zhu Di to Beiping, and then returned to Beijing once in two or three years at most, and her daughter is not like her son who can go out to do business training, so Xu Feixu and Xu Mengyu have not met a few times, in fact, they are very strange.

And Xu Miaojin was born in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and he is even more unfamiliar with Xu Feixu.

But Xu Feixu is very affinity, and after talking for a while, she is already very familiar with her two younger sisters.

Xu Feixu and her third sister said with a smile: "Mengyu, you are about to get married, how do you feel now?" Xu Mengyu was shy and didn't speak.

The fourth Xu Miaojin said: "Eldest sister, don't make fun of the third sister, she is very worried these days." ”

Xu Feisu smiled: "What is there to worry about? Is it because you are afraid that King An's character will be bad? You should have heard what Huizu said, King An is a good person, I have seen it a few times, he is very calm, very good. ’

However, Xu Feixu also knows that this topic is not suitable to talk about, it is not good to say that the two of them are living a good life, although she thinks that Anwang Zhu Ying is good, but she doesn't know much about the preferences of the third sister, if they are not happy after marriage, they may make the third sister complain about themselves if they say too much here, so they are busy changing the topic.

Xu Feisu smiled at the fourth sister Xu Miaojin and said, "It's okay, then let's not talk about the third sister, let's talk about you." ”

"Miaojin, you are fifteen this year, even if Huizu is not in a hurry to marry you, but now it is time to find someone, right? There are not many young talents, and your identity can't be low-married, now it's time to find out. ”

Although Xu Miaojin is usually timid, she is also very shy when she talks about her marriage, and she bows her head and is silent when she hears it.

Xu Mengyu had actually been teased by Xu Miaojin for a while before Xu Feisu came, but this time he had the opportunity to make fun of Xu Miaojin, and immediately said with a smile: "Eldest sister, the eldest brother is indeed looking for someone for Miaojin!" ”

"Not only have the noble families in the capital been pondered, but even the families of those who have hereditary military positions have been explored one by one."

Xu Feixu smiled at Xu Miaojin and said, "Oh, Huizu is still very concerned about your affairs!" ”

Xu Miaojin was even more shy, bowing her head and still not speaking.

Xu Feixu continued: "Our fourth sister is such a good person, with outstanding appearance and intelligence, no matter which family she marries, it is a blessing for their family. ”

Xu Mengyu smiled and continued: "Eldest sister, you don't know in Beiping, Miao Jinke is naughty, although she is talented and beautiful, but it is estimated that the person who marries her will be very nerve-wracking." ”

"When Hongwu was thirty years old, Miaojin sneaked out of the house with four maids and wanted to go to his hometown alone. At that time, the eldest brother almost fainted when he saw her letter. immediately sent someone out to find it, and asked the fourth brother to pursue it personally. Later, when Miaojin came back, he punished her hatefully. ”

Xu Mengyu was still thinking about continuing to speak, and then Xu Miaojin defended: "I haven't been back to my hometown since I was a child, so I want to go back and have a look." Whoever asked the eldest brother to never take me back. ”

"And the road is not at all like the eldest brother and the third brother they say is terrible, and all the shops I met along the way are very good. Plus my sister is quite smart, so didn't she go home safely? Why wait for me to come back, my eldest brother still scolds me like that! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Miaojin probably thought of Xu Huizu's punishment of her, and an angry expression appeared on her face.

Xu Mengyu immediately said, "Pull it down." Except for the store where you ate in the capital, you were really lucky that you didn't encounter a black shop, and the stores after that were all arranged in advance by the fourth brother! ”

"Just when you finished eating from that shop in the capital and were about to leave the city, the fourth brother found your traces. However, the fourth brother did not arrest you back, but mobilized manpower, and all the shops on the way from the capital to Fengyang sent manpower in advance to prevent you from having an accident. ”

"Not only that, but did you notice that there were too many people passing by along the way? That's all arranged by the fourth brother to protect you on the road in advance. And the fourth brother knows that you are still a little smart, and you take turns to change people, just for fear of being discovered by you. ”

"It was under the care of the fourth brother that you arrived in Fengyang safely, otherwise how could you have reached Fengyang?"

"And the fourth brother was taught a hateful lesson by the eldest brother after he came back in order to accompany you to do the show. The eldest brother also said at the time that the fourth brother's actions even shocked the first emperor and His Royal Highness the imperial grandson. The first emperor also specially called the eldest brother into the palace to ask what was going on. ”

According to the eldest brother, the first emperor did not have a different expression after listening to the eldest brother's explanation, but at that time, His Royal Highness the imperial grandson's expression was very surprised, and his mouth did not close for a long time after opening it. Just because of your affairs, His Royal Highness was so surprised, you said how much you added to our family. ”

Xu Feixu and Xu Miaojin were stunned. Xu Miaojin was stunned for a long time and said, "Then why didn't you tell me at that time?" ”

Xu Mengyu said: "The matter has happened, and it was good to see that you had a good attitude of admitting your mistakes after being reprimanded, so the eldest brother didn't say it, and told us not to say it." After all, you were young at the time. ”

Xu Miaojin didn't know what to say. There was no sound of speech at the scene for a while.

Xu Feixu felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and immediately spoke to adjust the atmosphere. She has also experienced a lot in Peking over the years, and a few words have changed the topic to other directions, and the atmosphere in the room has improved again.

The three of them talked about choosing a husband for Xu Miaojin again, although Xu Miaojin blushed and didn't speak, but she kept listening with her ears, and Xu Feixu made fun of it.
