Chapter 60: The House of Goodness
There is an old saying in Beijing, called "the east is rich in the west, the north is poor and the south is cheap", it is said that the layout within the Beijing division, the nobles live in the east city, and the Chongjiao Fang is the boundary of the noble, if it is put now, the housing price is also the same as the center of the imperial capital, so the Chongjiao Fang is often difficult to find, the Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years, and naturally there are countless nobles.

Coupled with the large and small civil officials, a small Chongjiao Fang is obviously not enough to live, so there are some civil officials of low rank, or unfavored nobles, scattered in the Jiaozhong Fang, Wu Chunfang, as well as the south, north and other relatively remote places, and only a few old nobles like Chongxin Bofeijia can have such a large mansion in Chongjiaofang.
But what made Zhu Changluo strange was that the person he was going to visit today, the authentic royal family, Yongnian Bo's mansion was also located in Wu Chunfang, which seemed a little remote.
Although this house is carved with beams and paintings, and the atmosphere is camp, this place is really a little remote, and it seems to be a little inconsistent with the rumors of the outside world!
"Little brother, why, do you have to go to this Yongnian Bofu to beg for a bowl of rice?"
Zhu Changluo was standing next to the stone lion in front of the mansion, looking at the mansion, when an old voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Before he could react, Wang Changxi's little face turned red and embarrassed, since he arrived at the palace, his father let him stay in peace, and even his outfit was changed from silk clothes to green clothes and hats.
In this way, it is natural that people are regarded as servants and the like.
"I'm not ......"
Wang Changxi was about to open his mouth to explain, when he saw Zhu Changluo coming over and asked the tattered old man with a gentle face.
"Old man, this is the first time the boy has come here, I wonder if there is something going to happen here? Why are so many people around? ”
As soon as he came, he noticed that it seemed that it was a bit unfortunate to come today, there were already many people waiting in front of the Yongnian Mansion, and looking at the costumes, most of them were poor people who were dressed plainly or even in tatters, and there were not a few beggars and the like, so many people were in full view, and Zhu Changluo did not force himself to go inside, so he delayed.
"Looking at the little brother's dress, I think I'm here to visit the master's house, right?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Changluo, but he didn't have a scared look, but said with a hearty smile.
He has walked around the Yongnian Mansion a lot, but he has also seen some nobles and the like, but even if these nobles are prominent, they don't dare to spread wild here, and after coming and going, the old man is a little less afraid of such luxuriously dressed people.
Especially although Zhu Changluo is wearing good materials, but they are old clothes taken out of the palace, according to the nobles that the old man has seen, how can their clothes be worn until they become old, so he feels that Zhu Changluo's identity is not too high, and he is a little more casual when he speaks.
"Yes, the kid really wants to visit the master here!"
Zhu Changluo touched his nose and replied truthfully.
"It's unfortunate that the little brother is here, the rules of Yongnian Bofu do not accept outsiders on the fifteenth day of every month, because they want to give porridge to poor families like us, but they don't have time to receive visitors!"
The old man was very satisfied with Zhu Changluo's attitude, and said a few words happily, and when he glanced at the door next to him from the corner of his eyes, he was full of reverence and gratitude.
It's just that these words made Zhu Changluo's eyebrows raise and he became more and more interested.
"Oh? So the kid ran this trip in vain, why don't you instruct the kid, what other rules does this Yongnian Bofu have, and the kid in the province will come again for nothing! ”
"Little brother is polite, don't worry! There are no messy rules in this Yongnian Bofu, the host has a good heart, and every month on the fifteenth day of the month, he will give porridge to help the poor, and by the way, take in some homeless people to work, and he is very busy, so he does not receive foreign guests, and in addition, there are no rules! But usually there are not so many people, because now that it's winter, the old lady in the house has nothing to spend the winter, so the family rewarded a load of firewood, so there are more people, delaying the little brother's business......"
Xu has never seen such a good-tempered noble person as Zhu Changluo, and under the rise of the old man, he chattered a lot.
It's just that the more he said, the tighter Zhu Changluo's brows wrinkled, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt the old man's words.
"Old man, you say this kind of thing happens every month? But isn't this mansion an official eunuch's house? Aren't you afraid that others will say that they invite people to buy people's hearts? ”
It is not uncommon to give porridge to the poor, but most of them are in disaster years, and the higher the official position, the less this kind of thing is done, because it is easy to be perceived as inviting people to buy people's hearts and intentions.
It stands to reason that a relative like Yongnian Bo should pay special attention to this, how can he do the opposite now?
The more Zhu Changluo thought about it, the more puzzled he felt, but the old man in front of him had a strange look on his face, and his tone of voice changed a little.
"Little brother, the old man doesn't look like a treacherous person, how can you think so dirty, Yongnian Bofu soup kitchen is not a day or two, you said that the old man has never seen the matter of inviting people to buy people's hearts, at the beginning there were a few imperial histories who came to ask, I heard that it also made trouble on the emperor's golden palace, but the lord of the house is sitting up straight, this is to pray for the queen's mother, and in the end the emperor and the old man have not been held accountable, you don't have any crooked ideas, otherwise the old man is the first to be unwilling!"
Seeing that the face of the amiable old man changed in an instant, Zhu Changluo also smiled bitterly, arched his hand, and said helplessly.
"The old man forgives his sins, he can't hide it, the kid is a relative of Uncle Yongnian's family, and he came to visit for the first time, and he was afraid of losing his dignity, so he inquired in detail, and there was no malice in the judgment!"
It's just that I sighed in my heart, and there was a burst of anticipation.
It seems that it is not unreasonable for Queen Wang to emphasize that he should come to visit Yongnian Bo, not to mention whether he has the intention of inviting people's hearts in this move, but the performance of this old man is enough to see Yongnian Bo's reputation among the people.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty is the dynasty with the strictest precautions against foreign relatives, and Yongnian Bo is unlikely to have great development whether it is in the military world or in the court.
The reputation of benevolence accumulated over the years may make the emperor have to take care of it!
Queen Wang has been able to sit firmly in the middle palace for so many years, in addition to her own skills and the operation of the palace, I am afraid that the efforts made by Yongnianbo in the outer court are also indelible.
As soon as he thought of this, he was even more looking forward to seeing this Yongnian uncle.
It is also a coincidence, he chatted with the old man for such a moment, the door of Yongnian Bo's Mansion was already open, and an old man with a charitable face walked out in the middle, with a peaceful expression and a noble face, and hurriedly walked out.
As soon as he saw this person, the old man who had just chatted with Zhu Changluo was also surprised.
"Uncle Yongnian, why did he come out in person today!"
"Don't worry, the old man should be looking for the kid, thank you for the old man's guidance, the kid is going!"
Zhu Changluo arched his hand and said.
Although he couldn't take out the honor guard that the king of the county should have, but his identity was there, and he threw himself in, if he didn't open the middle door to greet him, it could be regarded as not knowing the etiquette, not to mention that if he guessed correctly, Queen Wang should have also greeted this side, otherwise Wang Wei would not have come out in person.
After saying that, Zhu Changluo turned around and greeted him, and happened to meet Wang Wei in the open space in front of the mansion gate.
"The old minister Yongnian Bo Wang Wei has seen His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor!"
