(Next, the pig's feet will grow up a little bit, go out alone to brush up on the dungeon, gain experience, and the main plot of the book will slowly unfold.) I used 90 chapters to lay the groundwork and lay the foundation, and I admired myself for myself)

Time flies like a white horse, and it is now the twenty-first year of Hongji (1507). Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the three brothers and sisters have grown up, to be precise, two of them have grown up.

Zhu Houzhao is 17 this year, 18 years old, and his height has reached 1.78 meters, which is already considered tall, although his face is still a little immature, but his figure is already an adult. Let's talk about the little girl, she is 11 years old this year, 12 years old, because the girl developed early, today's little girl has grown into a slim girl, and her height is 1.6 meters. However, Zhu Houwei is more sad, I don't know why, he is 13 years old this year, and he is 14 years old, but he has not yet developed, and he is only 1.5 meters tall, which causes him to raise his head slightly when he looks at the little girl, I have to say, it is very sad. Zhu Houzhao often used this to hit him, although Zhu Houwei was a little depressed, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, sooner or later, it would be long.

Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the weather is slowly starting to get colder, and the first heavy snow has been falling since yesterday, but it can be found that most of the people in the capital are not afraid of the cold, why? Looking at the green military coat all over the capital, you can know what's going on.

In the past two years, the business of Huangzhuang's quilt factory has been very good, and the main focus is winter clothes, one is a green military coat, and a coat is only 5 yuan silver, which is still acceptable for most people in the Gyeonggi area. The other is the copycat version of the down jacket, because there is no way to use the high-end fabrics of later generations, so I have to choose a material that is more windproof and not easy to let the fluff drill out of the fabric. This kind of down jacket has different colors and high-quality fabrics, mainly to meet the needs of the upper class, so one piece costs 10 taels, and some are more expensive.

The styles of these two types of clothes were designed according to later generations, and it was more convenient to put on or take off, so to a certain extent, they also changed the dressing habits of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the dignitaries and nobles are not very easy to change, they basically wear down jackets outdoors, and when they come to important occasions, they still take them off, revealing the Hanfu they are wearing inside.

There are warm clothes outside, and there is a coal stove indoors, as long as it is a family that can afford it, they have installed coal stoves at home, which are installed around the walls, so as not to affect the beauty of the house, and the coal stove is connected to a 15 cm thick iron pipe, which leads directly to the roof. In this way, the exhaust gas can be discharged from the pipe, and it is safe to use. You can also boil water and vegetables on the coal stove, mainly to use honeycomb coal, which is not expensive, and you can buy 2 of 1 Hongzhi Tongbao. Huangzhuang specializes in selling these briquettes, and the cost is 1 copper plate and 6 briquettes. Except for the freight or something, in fact, he can't make a few dollars, Zhu Houwei is taking small profits but quick turnover, there are more than 200,000 people in Huangzhuang, and the two million people in the capital are basically using this now, no matter how small the single profit is, if it is multiplied by the population base, the profit will be a lot.

There have also been great changes in the palace, and the biggest change is that all the rooms have been replaced with sliding glass windows, and as long as there is sun, the rooms are bright.

Hongzhi is 38 years old this year, although the court has been doing small things in the past two years, either the invasion of the south of the Japanese invaders, or the north of the Tartars to fight the grass valley, but they are all small-scale, so on the whole, it is okay, although the temples are a little gray as before, but there is no increase, and the white of the temples also increases the majesty of Hongji.

But in the past two years, Hongji is still more afraid of the cold, and the palaces are very large, so if you want to keep warm, you have to increase the number of braziers, but there are too many braziers, and people feel uncomfortable. At this time, Zhu Houwei stepped forward, for the health of his father, for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately invested in the construction of a new era of housing - a large villa, of course, also for Zhu Houwei's business.

The villa is built in the east of Kunning Palace, basically in the middle of Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace. The design of the house basically reflects the principle of simplicity but not simplicity, low-key but luxury.

The pond rockery in front of the villa is indispensable, and the lawn is also neatly tied. It is divided into two floors, each with a height of 5 meters, and a cement and steel structure, which is strong and durable, and is not afraid of fire. All the windows are large one-door glass windows, and the walls are painted with white paint to turn into white paper, and then the court painters splash ink on them to paint, and the walls are landscape paintings, which look pleasing to the eye. Hongji fell in love with this mural the first time he came.

The whole villa is basically divided into three parts, the east side is connected to the main body in the middle, here is the kitchen, where everything is cleaned cleanly, the ground, the walls are covered with large and small tiles, so that it not only looks beautiful, but also easy to clean. The kitchen is about 15 meters long and 10 meters wide, and it is only one floor, and the chimney is as far away from the main body as possible, so that the smoke from cooking is not easy to drift to Koji.

The main part is also where Koji's office and residence are located. It is about 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, which shows the size of the villa. On the easternmost side of the first floor is a reception room, which is used as a place for Koji to summon individual ministers or to discuss state affairs with the cabinet elders. On the first floor, there is also a living room, a dining room, a studio, and a studio in the far west. Adjacent to it is the third part, the flower room connected to the main body, the flower room is made of glass, about 3 meters high, about 10 meters long, about 10 meters wide, which is planted with a variety of flowers, and there is a coal stove in the flower room to maintain the temperature, which makes Hongzhi like it very much, basically every day to come over and take care of it personally, most of the time it is accompanied by Queen Zhang, for the love of the flower room, Queen Zhang is not lost to Hongzhi.

The second floor of the main body is the master bedroom, the guest bedroom and the study, the most classic is that the ceiling of a two-bedroom is made of glass, you can watch the starry sky at night, and you can also look at some illusory world when it rains. There is a fireplace in each room of the main body, and once you feel cold, you will feel warm as soon as you light the fireplace. The floors of each room are covered with large white tiles, which makes it cool in the summer, but now it is winter, so the floors are covered with beautiful, warm carpets.

The kitchen and the roof of the main body have large water tanks, and people need to take clean water sources and add them to the water tank every day, so Zhu Houwei directly drilled a well behind the villa, so that only someone needs to go to the roof of the building every day to pump water.

The most satisfying thing about Queen Zhang in the villa is the bathroom facilities, the toilet is a separate room, and the toilet is installed here, and the toilet only needs to press the water tank, which is very convenient. There are taps in all places where water is needed, and when you turn it on, the water will come out, but this is winter, and the water that comes out is basically cold.

On the day of the villa's move-in, Zhu Houwei personally introduced it, and Hongzhi's family led a team to visit, and the cabinet elders also came to hear the wind, housewarming, a big event. Zhu Houwei was still cheeky and asked the old man for a housewarming gift, a few old foxes diverted the topic and did not change their faces, but Queen Zhang stopped Zhu Houwei and said a few words to him. In short, as the top figures of the Ming Dynasty are amazed by this villa, the reputation of the villa soon resounded all over the capital, and soon, in the eyes of outsiders, it was Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling's two earls of the industry of "IKEA" opened, and soon received orders, and soon made a lot of money. Every customer has only one thought in their hearts: "Black, it's so black." "All the transaction orders are basically more than 100,000 taels, but only this IKEA can build this kind of villa, in order to reflect their own identity, as well as the pursuit of fashion and other reasons, so these dignitaries have to grit their teeth and pay the bills one by one. The reception's salesmen are all women, and they can't stop talking, what "the window uses the only glass window in the world", "the bathroom facilities are simple", "royal enjoyment, you deserve it" and so on, causing these rich people to pay obediently, and then scold in their hearts with a smile.

Zhu Houwei's two uncles also re-lived the life of rich people, joined the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and their status was greatly improved.

The villa in the palace was hung up by Hongji, called "Leisurely House", and now in the dining room, a family of five is finishing a meal. Zhu Houwei saw that everyone had eaten almost, so he said, "Daddy, mother, I'm going to Tianjin Wei in two days." Empress Zhang frowned and asked, "Why do you want to go there, it's been going back and forth for several days." The other three also looked at Zhu Houwei, waiting for his answer. Zhu Houwei had no choice but to say honestly, "No, the warships of the land and water battalion have been built, and they will be launched in two days, so I have to go over and watch." ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "I'll go too." "The voice is not a person's, it turns out that the little girl is also in unison. Hongzhi first asked Zhu Houwei, "How long are you going?" Zhu Houwei thought for a while and said, "About half a month, this time I will go into the water, and I will sail again, and it will not be far, so I will go to Dengzhou, and then come back." Hongzhi nodded, and then said to the little girl, "Er, with your second brother taking care of you, I can rest assured with your mother, but I don't get into trouble along the way, I know no." The little girl immediately said happily, "Er'er must be obedient and won't cause trouble for the second brother, second brother, right?" Zhu Houwei loved this sister very much, and nodded with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Hongzhi expectantly at this time, but he didn't expect Hongzhi's face to be pale, "What kind of mess are you adding, take it with you in the capital, you will get married in the spring next year, and you still don't have a decent one." Zhu Houzhao immediately turned into a frosted eggplant, and he lost his spirit, so he could only look at Zhu Houwei with envy.

Speaking of which, since that trip north to attack the Tartars, the two brothers have not been out of the Gyeonggi area for the past two years, and at most they have only wandered around the capital.

At this time, Empress Zhang said to Zhu Houwei, "Houwei, remember, don't board the ship, this sea is full of dangers, you can't joke." ”

Zhu Houwei was not ready to participate in the short voyage this time, so he nodded, "Don't worry, my sister and I will not go to Dengzhou with the ship." ”

After dinner, Hongzhi wanted to go to the study to continue to review the folds, and Zhu Houzhao also followed to study. The little girl pulled Zhu Houwei and kept asking what to bring with him on this trip, and Zhu Houwei had a big head for a while, but he could only respond one by one, and after a long time, he escaped from his sister's indiscriminate bombardment and rushed to the Fuwang Mansion next to Zhu's mansion.
