To everyone's surprise, Zhu Xu was quite interested in Zhu Min's desire to travel, because he himself had longed for the lonely smoke of the desert and the sunset of the long river, as well as the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River and the lychees of Lingnan.

It's a pity that he has been busy with government affairs all these years, and the household treasury is not abundant, so he can only look at the book and sigh, and the southern tour plan has been delayed again and again.

Who knew that this inconspicuous son gave him a big surprise, and he actually thought of a place with him.

After the father and son discussed the scenery in the book for a while, Zhu Xu suddenly looked at Zeng Rong, "Why did I forget you, isn't your hometown also from Jiangnan, come, tell me how your hometown is different from this?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the biggest difference is that there are fresh vegetables to eat in the south all year round, which is ...

"Stop, don't mention food." Zhu Xu interrupted her.

"Back to the emperor, if you talk about the scenery of the four seasons, you can use two words to describe it, the south should be soft, the north is rigid, the south is soft in the wind, in the water, in the clouds, in the fog, in the mountains, in the trees, in every stream in the mountains, in every wild flower in the jungle, in the smoke rising in the countryside, but also in the hazy buildings and pavilions. The north is also in the wind, in the sand, in the trees, in the mountains, in the water, in the kite that goes straight up to the wind, in the grassland where horses gallop, in the rivers that rush down, in the sand that hurts on the face, and on the endless glaciers. Also, the people in the south speak softly, you should have heard the word Wu Nong's soft language? The accent in my hometown is also relatively soft, relatively speaking, the northerners are strong? The tone of his voice is also rigid. Zeng Rong said.

"That? Can I ask? Why do you only mention the smoke in the south, and what is the difference between the north and the south? Zhu Min asked.

"Back to the Fifth Highness, naturally there is? The wind is hard in the north? The wind is strong, and the smoke from the north either bends in one direction or goes straight up? Gentle winds to the south? The smoke is also crooked. Zeng Rong explained.

"Do you prefer the south or the north?" Zhu Min asked again.

"Back to the Fifth Highness? Love the North Side in spring? The scenery to the south is beautiful? But how much rain is there? Often, for a month, it was damp everywhere, things were moldy, and the house was also moldy, so it was almost impossible to prevent mold. And also? Is this kang in the north good? Hot? Is it hard to survive winter in the south? It was damp and cold, and even the quilt was sometimes damp, as if there was moisture. But I don't like the wind from the north? It hurts when it blows on the face, and the wind blows on the face softly, and it also carries the sweetness of grass. Well, let's not talk about it, in short, it's good in its own way. Zeng Rong saw Zhu Xu staring at her again, thinking that she was talking too much, so he hurriedly stopped talking.

"I'm sorry, as far as I know, Miss Zeng's words are biased, most of the southerners in your mouth are actually not real southerners, but the Central Plains people who continue to move south with the historical process, the earliest southward migration of the Central Plains can be traced back to the Qin Shi Huang period, when the Qin expedition to Lingnan Rong Baiyue, there were a large number of Central Plains people left in the Lingnan area. Later, with the southern crossing of the five Hu Chaohua, a large number of Central Plains people fled to the south and merged with the local barbarians. You say, these people have multiplied so far, are they southerners or northerners? Zhu Wu asked.

Zeng Rong was just about to open his mouth, only to see Zhu Heng say: "The third brother also said, the first immigrant was Qin, and the second time was Wuhu Chaohua, these two times are thousands of years ago, these Central Plains people have long been integrated with the local Southern Barbarians, whether it is language, culture, life, architecture and other aspects, it is difficult to find traces of the past." ”

"The second brother is not right, there is also a special system, called the Hakka system, most of the Han people in this system are in the past of the two Song Dynasty, they gathered in the Ganjiang, Tingjiang, and Meijiang Plain formed by the Sanjiang Plain, and most of them still retain their language and customs, forming their unique Hakka system." Zhu Min said.

He likes to study local chronicles and historical books in various places, so Zhu Heng and Zhu Wu are not very clear about what he said, and even Zhu Xu feels novel.

They only know that there is a saying that the Central Plains people crossed to the south, and they also know that many of the southerners today are descendants of the Central Plains, but they don't know that there is a Hakka system, and they don't know that this Hakka system still retains their language and living customs.

"No, there are also many officials in the south in the court, I only know their origins and origins, there are indeed Central Plains people after the southern crossing, but I have never heard of any Hakka system, how did you know about it?" Zhu Xu asked Zhu Min.

Knowing that Zhu Min saw it from the historical books, Zhu Xu looked at this son with appreciation again.

The next conversation basically revolves around Wuhu Chaohua, although this history is a bit heavy, but because it does not involve itself, only talks about history, so Zhu Heng and the three are still relatively relaxed, and the three of them have expressed a lot of their own opinions.

This meal did not end until Youzheng, and after eating for nearly an hour, the dishes were reheated again, and finally, the wine and food were full, and they were happy.

This meal, Zeng Rong felt that Zhu Min should gain the most, Zhu Xu's impression of this son has changed greatly, not only do the father and son have many common topics, but even their views are almost the same.

Zhu Wu should be the most lost of the three brothers, because he was originally the most favored of all the children among the three, to be exact, not only often had meals with his father, but also often talked with his father.

Zhu Heng was still not surprised or pleased, originally he didn't have any expectations, so he didn't care about the loss, but he was very happy at one point, his father recognized Zeng Rong, and actually allowed Zeng Rong to sit down with them for dinner, just for this point, he was a little grateful to his father.

Because it was already dark when he came out of Qianning Palace, Zhu Heng insisted on sending Zeng Rong back to the three inner institutes, and on the way, the two talked about Zhu Min.

However, compared with Zhu Min, Zeng Rong was more interested in Zhu Min's mother, Concubine De, thinking that Concubine De was the only concubine in the harem who gave birth to Zhu Wu three years after the imperial concubine gave birth to Zhu Wu, and after Zhu Min, there were no heirs born in the harem for a few years.

If this kind of person is not right, it will be more terrible and more dangerous, and he will come out and bite when he sees the right time, and this bite will often be fatal.

Fortunately, in the previous life, this Concubine De didn't seem to be inconspicuous, at least Zeng Rong hadn't heard any news about her, but Zeng Rong was sure of one thing, with her friendship with the imperial concubine, she should be very prosperous.
