After the prince's army entered the city, he sealed the inner city gate.

Hu Yanjin and the others happened to stay in the camp outside the city, and he kept watch in the carriage all night.

Early the next morning, Xiao Gao went to the town of Waiguo, hurriedly found a coffin, and several people drove the carriage to Meihualing outside the Zhongshan Gate.

In the first month, it is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom, the red plum is layered, the clouds are steaming, and the white plum is dotted among them, like a fairy dream. The steep mountain breeze is blowing in the face, carrying warmth and fragrance, and I feel the spring sooner than other places.

This is due south of Xiaoling, which is already the scope of Xiaolingwei's protection. It's just that most of the soldiers and horses of the Xiaoling Guard are still rectifying in the inner city and have not returned, and a few people are shrinking around the Xiaoling Tomb and have no time to take care of it.

Hu Yanjin also took this into account, so he chose to be buried in a hurry at this time.

At the beginning of the twenty-third year of Wuchen Liang Hongwu, he was awarded the captain of Jingwei Zhongxian, and he has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also because of his first official rank, which was awarded by Emperor Taizu, and his allegiance was the heir designated by Emperor Taizu.

Now, burying him next to Emperor Taizu can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

Xiao Gao found two shovels for the fortifications, and the two men dug on a sunny hillside. Hua Qiao and Can'er went to break plum branches and pick petals, and when they returned, the grave had already been dug.

The four people pulled the rope and slowly put the coffin into the tomb, and the moment the soil was filled, Hu Yanjin's tears fell quietly.

Tears mixed in the soil, together with the plum blossom petals as red as blood, buried his lifelong father.

On the way back, the buckwheat gently leaned on his shoulder, and he also rested his head on the buckwheat's head. The two of them snuggled quietly, and since then there has been this wisp of plum fragrance in their thoughts.

"I'm the only one with you."

"I'm where you are."

When they were about to arrive at the Taiping Gate, they happened to see the sergeants of Xiaolingwei, who were already lining up from the city to Xiaoling, and they knew that order in the city should be slowly restored.

Hu Yanjin could not leave Nanjing City until at least the last seven days, so the two decided to enter the palace first and leave after everything was settled.

entered the East Palace, and it happened that Zhang Yue was also there.

Now in the harem, only some old palace maids are still inside, and it is not convenient to live empty. Zhu Zhanji made the decision and found an independent courtyard in the East Palace for Hua Qiao to live in.

"Thank you Brother Prince for your compassion, Hua Qiao also wants a waist card for entering and leaving the palace." Hua Qiao smiled.

Zhu Zhanji knew that Hua Qiao couldn't sit still, so he glanced at Zhang Yue and Hu Yanjin with a smile:

"The waist card can be given to you, but you can't pester the two of them, now there are thousands of things in Nanjing City, and they have a lot of things."

"Am I that unreasonable? Didn't you just say that let me take care of the affairs of the palace for you, I have a lot of things. Hua Qiao smiled and withdrew first.

The crown princess has already arranged for two talented people to come to Yingtianfu to take care of the prince, and she will only leave today, and it will take nearly a month to arrive.

So the prince handed over the management of the harem to Hua Qiao, and it was considered to find something for her to do.

finally waited for Hu Yanjin and Zhang Yue to leave the palace, and Hua Qiao was already waiting for them outside the Donghua Gate.

Zhang Yue's house is not far from Sanshan Street, and there is a jewelry gallery and Shengping Bridge outside the door, which is the most prosperous place in Nanjing. This is a crossroads, and it is only one step away from the Ying Tianfu Mansion.

As the saying goes: it's dark under the lights. This is the best place to hide.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Hua Rong, who was learning swordsmanship from his master. Master Lei is the old guard of Zhangfu, he used to follow Zhang Yu, and later with Zhang Xian.

"Sister...... The princess ......, "Hua Rong hasn't seen Hua Qiao for a long time, and she is so happy that she doesn't know what to call it."

"If you're not in the palace, you're still called sister." Hua Qiao laughed.

Hua Rong's voice has begun to become as low as a man, and he is half a head taller than Hua Qiao, but the smile on his face is so familiar, as if he is still the little boy who always follows his sister and is naughty everywhere.

"Lord Zhang, Brother Huyan! This morning, officers and soldiers came to board the plane, and we reported false names according to what the adults had explained. ”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Got it." On the upper floor of Gaoqiao Gate, the crown prince's arrow solved the problem. In the future, as long as the stuffing is not exposed, no one will know that Uncle Hua is the master of flowers. ”

"Where's Daddy?"

"He's been painting in his study for days!"

Hu Yanjin smiled unconsciously: "The master can actually paint?" Looks like I have a lot to learn. ”

"Then I still have to apprentice."

Zhang Yue is still thinking about this matter.

Hua Rong was about to say when Hua Qiao stopped him: "Don't tell them, let them see for themselves." ”

In the study, Hua Youcai was drawing something on the drawing table, and when he saw a few of them coming in, he hurriedly straightened up and smiled:

"You're back? After a night of trouble last night, I guess you should go into town together. Did Yi Chengjin catch that kid? I'm worried that Ah Jin, you will rush ahead of everything, he is now crazy, you must pay attention to protect yourself. ”

"Don't worry, master, you'll catch it. Although he was allowed to run away this time, the government had already announced to the public that he was a pretending royal family, and the guards who had been recruited and trained with great difficulty were dispersed, and his public identity was gone, so it would be difficult for him to find a helper in the future. ”

Hu Yanjin saw that there was an indescribable warmth in the master's heart, maybe he had just buried his father, and he felt particularly precious to the elders who cared about him.

"Daddy! You only care about him, and your own daughter forgets. Hua Qiao couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"How could you forget? Come and see, what did Daddy draw for you? ”

It turned out to be a painting for the buckwheat, and now, even Xiao Gao followed up to see what was going on.

I saw a four-foot piece of paper spread out on the painting table, and a complete skeleton was drawn vertically. Hua Qiao smiled "poof", because it was too unexpected, Zhang Yue and Hu Yanjin looked at each other.

"The wooden skeleton model I made before was too big to carry, and it was already given to the owner of the pottery village when I was in Wanhu Villa. Drawing on paper, you can also mark all the names, and it is easier for others to learn.

Daddy has been studying Daming's medical books for the past few months, and found that Chinese medicine is good at treating diseases, but not injuries, so I want to write you something simple and useful in terms of healing injuries. ”

Hua Rong hurriedly said: "My sister is now a princess, what's the use of her learning this?" ”

"She's a princess, don't marry in the future? Your senior brother is from the sword to the sword, and she saves his life, isn't it the same as saving herself? You also said that you will be active in sword dancing, and you will be sleepy if you are asked to study medicine! ”

Hu Yanjin listened to the master's words, and was already so moved that he couldn't speak. Hua Qiao took the opportunity to say to Daddy:

"Daddy, didn't you say before, if you have the opportunity, you would like your martial arts skills to be passed on to the guard, isn't Zhang Yue in the guard? Why don't you also accept him as an apprentice, won't your wish come true? ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

What kind of daughter is this, I'm looking for trouble for myself.

"My three-legged cat kung fu, where will Master Zhang take a fancy to it? Don't ......."

"The younger generation can't ask for it! The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. ”

When Zhang Yue heard Hua Youcai's words just now, he already felt that the old man in front of him was extraordinary, but he didn't expect Hua Qiao to ask for this opportunity for himself.

He fell on one knee and saluted:

"Zhang Yue will not stay in Jinyiwei for a long time, and he will also carry a gun to the front line. There are Mongolian harassment in the north of the Ming Dynasty, there is Annan in the south, and there are Japanese robbers in the east. ”

Hua Youcai had no choice but to help him up: "I will take you as a 'master', and I will not have the slightest reservation, but you don't have too high expectations." I'm ranked by age here, you are the oldest, and you will have to take care of Ah Jin, Ah Qiao, and Ah Rong in the future. ”

Zhang Yue almost didn't laugh out loud, he was the last to enter the door, and he became a senior brother! He hastened to say:

"Master, then don't accept apprentices older than me in the future, that will shake my status in the rivers and lakes."

"You have to say this to your junior sister, she gave me to get it home!"

Big brother? Uncle?

How do you feel a little lost?
