Chapter Ninety-Three: Fuwang's Mansion

Every time Zhu Houwei enters the Fuwang Mansion, he always feels a pang in his heart, because he always thinks of the Fuwang who was put into the cauldron by Li Zicheng a hundred years later and burned into a Fulu banquet.

The prince of the Ming Emperor, once he reaches the age of 12, will leave the palace, outside the palace, the emperor will give a mansion as a residence, of course, the prince will live in the East Palace. Since you move out of the mansion, you have to give a title, the previous dynasty was to first seal a two-word king, and wait until the country to be crowned a one-word king, but now it is a step in place, directly sealed a lucky king.

For the title of Zhu Houwei, the Ministry of Rites submitted 6 times but did not satisfy Hongzhi, and finally Hongzhi checked the classics by himself and finally determined this Fu King. Zhu Houwei originally wanted Hongzhi to change it, but Empress Zhang told him that Hongzhi was still checking the classics late at night for him, and he hadn't slept well for 3 days, so Zhu Houwei accepted.

When he moved, Hongzhi's reward to Zhu Houwei was extremely rich, he knew that Zhu Houwei was rich, so he didn't reward too much gold and silver, but gave a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and foreign tributes, Zhu Houwei liked this very much, and Hongzhi knew it. Therefore, many emperors of previous dynasties regarded the calligraphy and painting as treasures and also rewarded Zhu Houwei a lot, such as large-scale court paintings, Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" in the Song Dynasty, Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's "Sunny Post When the Rain is Fast", "Huang Tingjing", cursive "Seventeen Posts", Tang Dynasty Yan Liben's "Bu Yuan Tu", "Xiao Yi Earning Lan Pavilion Tu" and so on.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry when he saw that his father gave his younger brother so many good things, because the next day, a small half of them entered the East Palace, and when Hongzhi heard it, he shook his head, as if he was helpless, but there was a smile on his face.

Fuwang Mansion covers a large area, about 300 acres, pavilions and pavilions are not lacking, and the cornices and walls are all exquisite. When you arrive at King Fu's Mansion, the palace will naturally allocate a set of personnel. Due to Zhu Houwei's request, the housekeeper of Fuwang's Mansion is an old palace maid, 26-year-old Xiao Qingyun this year, you heard it right, 26-year-old is already an old "old woman" in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houwei has a good impression of this Xiao Qingyun, he is serious and meticulous, he absolutely doesn't care about what he shouldn't care, and he is also very good at talking. What satisfies Zhu Houwei the most is that his skin is white and beautiful, convex and backward, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, smile before speaking, and shallow dimples on his cheeks.

As a prince, there is no shortage of eunuchs when he goes to the east and west, no, the palace also sent one, who is in his early 40s, honest and honest, not tall, about 1 meter 60, but he is diligent, very affinity, and it is easy to gain the favor of others. There is a problem, there is no problem with the Daming official dialect that is usually spoken, but when I am excited, I will speak fluently in the Anhui dialect. In short, he is the eunuch of the palace, Steward Xiao is responsible for the affairs of the house, Gonggong Huang is responsible for following Zhu Houwei at any time, and he is the boss of Steward Xiao.

In addition to these two important figures, that is Zhu Houwei's handmaid, one is called Xiaohuan, who is 15 years old this year, really an open age, handsome and generous. The other is called Qingmei, Xiaohuan's own sister, 14 years old this year, but younger than Zhu Houwei, her appearance is 7 points similar to her sister, and her complexion is as snow-white as her sister, pink and tender, and she looks like a small jasper, but after getting along with Zhu Houwei for a long time, Zhu Houwei knows that this is also a restless master, and there is nothing harmful, but she has a bad stomach, and she is the most prankster. It's all small mistakes, it's harmless, Steward Xiao can't punish too much, the most infuriating thing is that everyone else in the house seems to like this girl very much, and they don't get angry when they are pranked. Only when Steward Xiao sees it will he be punished, most of the time it is the "victim" who does not report it, so Steward Xiao is not easy to pursue, Zhu Houwei also likes the two maids, and Steward Xiao has to open one eye and close one eye.

Huang Lei and Zhu Houwei entered the gate of the luxurious Fuwang Mansion, and finally came to the destination, the Crystal Residence, I have to say that Zhu Houwei, who has a bad taste, is very terrifying, and the evil thoughts in his heart are so grandiose and public. Of course, no one in Daming knows the special meaning of this name.

The layout of the Crystal House is almost the same as that of the Leisurely House, but the length is slightly shorter, after all, Dad's villa is so big, he can't exceed the limit.

There are not many people living in the crystal, only Steward Xiao and others. Zhu Houwei's room is very large, and the most special thing is the big bed, which is about 4 meters long and 4 meters wide. When the little girl asked him why he wanted to make such a big bed, Zhu Houwei replied, "The second brother is not honest when he sleeps at night, he likes to turn over, and it is not easy to roll down when the bed is big." "The bed is Simmons with springs, which is extremely elastic, and Zhu Houwei has paid great affection for this bed.

Zhu Houwei's bedroom is a suite, and there are two slightly smaller bedrooms in it, where the Xiaohuan sisters live, and next door to the south is Steward Xiao's room, and Huang's father-in-law was sent to the room to the south.

After entering the Crystal Residence, Steward Xiao had not yet slept, embroidering next to the kerosene lamp in the hall on the first floor, waiting for Zhu Houwei to return. Kerosene is the product of coking in the military factory, and the craftsman didn't know how to use it, but after Zhu Houwei saw it, he immediately ordered to make kerosene lamps, 20 taels and one lamp to be sold in Crystal Zhai, and kerosene was 10 taels and one catty.

When Steward Xiao saw Zhu Houwei coming in, he stopped embroidering, got up and smiled and greeted Zhu Houwei, after two years of getting along, people close to him knew that His Royal Highness King Fu didn't like to salute at every turn.

Xiaohuan and Qingmei were patting Zhu Houwei's little accumulated snow, and Steward Xiao took off Zhu Houwei's down jacket. Zhu Houwei said in his mouth, "It's really cold this day, but it's still comfortable at home." "The fireplace in Crystal House is basically burning all the time, so it's very warm in the house. Hearing Zhu Houwei's complaints, the others were all smiling.

Qingmei asked with a smile at this time, "Lord Wang, didn't you defeat thousands of Tartars with hundreds of people a few years ago, such a difficult thing is fine, it is only cold, and the Lord must not take it to heart." Zhu Houwei listened to Qingmei's words to coax the child, so he pretended to be angry and glared at her, Qingmei stuck out her tongue and was not frightened.

Steward Xiao asked softly, "Lord Wang, it's so late, are you hungry, how about the slave maid get you some wine and food to warm up?" Zhu Houwei looked up at Steward Xiao slightly and replied with a smile, "No, by the way, I'm going to Tianjin Wei in two days, you can help me prepare, everything is simple, don't load too many things for me." Steward Xiao was slightly stunned, and then said, "The slave knows." ”

Qingmei is very happy, "You're going out of the capital?" I haven't been out of the capital yet, sister, I'm going to leave the capital. Xiaohuan looked at Qingmei a little helplessly. Zhu Houwei said jokingly: "Did I say that I would take you this time?" ”

Qingmei immediately turned into Chu Chu pitiful, "Lord, the slave and maid are your maids, where the prince goes, the slave and maid will also go." Zhu Houwei smiled, "I can take Xiaohuan there, one is enough, you, it's dispensable." ”

Qingmei was a little anxious now, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "Lord, can you not be a slave, the slave will definitely serve wholeheartedly in the future." Zhu Houwei glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." As he spoke, he prepared to go upstairs. Qingmei wiped her eyes, as if she was wiping her tears, but she hadn't put her hand down yet, her face was already full of smiles, and she winked at her sister, Xiaohuan twisted her angrily, and whispered, "It's just you, be careful that you really make the prince angry." Qingmei didn't care, "The prince is a good person, and he has a good temper, so he won't annoy me." Steward Xiao and Grandpa Huang looked at the quirky Qingmei, and they both smiled, and the longer they got along with this little girl, the more they liked it.

2 days later, Zhu Houwei said goodbye to the palace and Empress Zhang and Zhu Houzhao, who was full of jealousy, and then the little girl was ready to set off, and the destination was Tianjin Weishui Land Camp.
