The royal family studies on the east side of the palace occupy a large area from the Purple Mountain to the south, the moat surrounds the campus on the west side, the Purple Mountain on the north side, the military camp of Yulinwei on the south side, and the villa area built for the royal family and the clan family on the east side.

The area of the campus is very large, not only with teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, but also special shooting ranges and martial arts arenas.

Originally, it was only a school for the children of the royal family, but after the children and grandchildren of Emperor Gaozu were divided, all the children of the clan were also admitted to the school.

From kindergarten and elementary school to junior high school and high school, only at the university, these children of the clan will transfer to the university to study with ordinary students.

All the children of the clan, above the rank of the prince of the county, each descendant must be educated in this school, and only the girl can stay in the seat of the palace and not be forced.

Daming has 99 princes' mansions, more than 400 county palaces, and the total number of students here is nearly 4,000.

The teachers here are also elite teachers, and their curriculum is different from that of ordinary students, all men have to learn military command, and all women have to learn housekeeping and financial management.

Therefore, as long as they are not as stupid as pigs, every descendant of the Zhu family can reach a management level above the average level here.

Zhu Cheng, who is in his first year of high school this year, has been the most prominent student in the school since six years ago.

Not only is she smart and smart, she has excellent grades in every subject, and as she gets older, her beauty and fame spread.

Many students of Xiamaqiao High School, as well as the children of Xungui, always like to wait at the school gate here when they get out of school.

Even if there is no chance to contact Zhu Cheng, just a glance from a distance can satisfy them.

Inside the school, as the emperor's beloved daughter, she was born with the title of princess, which is much higher than those county lords and county lords.

In this unequal world, she has always been used to being on top.

But she is also well aware that although Daming now advocates women's emancipation, there are also some women who are engaged in equal rights movements.

But in this world, the productive forces have not been completely liberated, and men still dominate.

As a woman, even if she is a princess, after getting married, she must put down her body and serve her mother-in-law and husband.

In the small talk book, it has always been said that the happiest time for a woman is the time before she is married in the boudoir.

Most of the princesses of Daming are married to noble families, and in order to stay in Yingtianfu for more than ten years, most of them are married to the eldest son.

Because the Xungui family has a fief, and the head of the family is in the army, the prince must stay in Yingtianfu as a hostage.

As long as the head of the family does not die early, the son of the family generally leaves Yingtianfu in the middle of the year.

After the age of twelve, Zhu Cheng has been paying attention to the sons of the same age of the Xungui family, and she thinks that she will marry the sons of Xungui like most aunts and grandmothers.

But the appearance of Zhou Bei gave her another choice.

She is very satisfied with Zhou Bei.

Not only does he have a handsome appearance, but he also has unparalleled abilities and talents.

She also knew that with Zhou Bei's ability, her father would never let him stay away from Ying Tianfu and get out of control.

Then in this life, you don't have to leave Ying Tianfu.

At noon, the school cafeteria was filled with a variety of delicacies, but this was mostly enjoyed by the princes and princes.

Except for the young princesses, county lords, and those who are a little older, they will pay attention to maintaining their figures.

Zhu Cheng only chose a little rice, a little greens, and a large plate of fruit.

As for those high-fat, high-calorie foods, only when they are hungry, they will eat a few pieces like poison.

"Fourth princess, are you looking for us?"

Zhu Cheng looked back and said with a smile: "You pick the food first, I will sit in the old position at the window, and you will come directly in a while." ”

Opposite Zhu Cheng, there were two girls in royal uniforms, one was slightly older, seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was about the same as Zhu Cheng.

Compared with Zhu Cheng's slender figure, both of them are much plump.

A table in the middle window of the cafeteria is the old position where Zhu Cheng has been sitting for five or six years. She's an old-fashioned person and used to sitting here.

Everyone in the school knows that no one has ever occupied this position at noon.

Another girl quickly came over with a plate and sat across from Zhu Cheng.

The tall girl is Zhu Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of Xue Weijun Wang, and the shorter girl is Zhu Mingxia, the eldest daughter of Xue Huang Junwang, both of them are from Sanhe City in Xuezhou County.

Although the population of Trois-Rivières is not large, the economy is quite developed, with two county palaces and one county lord's office, each with a county tax commission.

As a branch, although they are about the same age, Zhu Mingzhu and they are a generation higher than Zhu Cheng, because the descendants are always the largest, and they are the earliest.

However, in the royal family, it is more about strength.

Zhu Mingzhu is a generation older, and in the face of Zhu Cheng, the princess, the two county lords lack confidence.

"Four Princesses ......"

"Sit down, eat first."

The three of them were speechless and quickly filled their stomachs. Zhu Cheng took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and waited for the two to finish eating.

"What does the princess command? Regarding the news of Yun Shanbo, we really told you everything we knew. ”

"Let's not talk about Yun Shanbo today, you know Yu Youwei, the eldest daughter of the county lord of Lihua!"

The two women looked at each other suspiciously, and said in unison: "Yes." ”

"What kind of person is she?"

Zhu Mingzhu, who was a little taller, pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Lihua has a strong personality, whether it is Yibin or their children, her personality is very gentle. Yu Youwei has a gentle appearance, a gentle personality, a little coquettish, and very simple. Sometimes when we get together, she always listens and rarely speaks. ”

Zhu Mingxia added: "I also saw her during the Spring Festival this year. She looks like the kind of shy bunny who makes people reluctant to bully. ”

"When did she start to have rumors with Yun Shanbo, and what is the attitude of Lord Lihua?"

The two looked at each other. "I should have heard that they were together last summer, but Aunt Lihua objected. When I asked her during the Spring Festival this year, she was shy and didn't answer, but her expression was very sweet. ”

Zhu Cheng sighed, pretending to be distressed: "Could it be that Yun Shanbo likes soft and cute women?" I'm soft enough, but I'm not cute enough! ”

The news that Zhu Cheng was going to be married to Zhou Bei was not officially announced, but it was only spread in a small area, and even in this school, there were many people who didn't know.

Zhu Mingzhu and the others also guessed because Zhu Cheng asked about Zhou Bei's deeds.

Zhu Mingxia said with a smile: "The princess is beautiful and fragrant, how can any man resist your charm!" Yun Shanbo and Yu Youwei are neighbors, they will have that kind of meaning, compared to the princess, she is far behind. ”

"Come, tell me more about Yu Youwei......"

At the end of school in the afternoon, four small trains like sightseeing cars stopped at the school gate.

Two cars traveled east to the clan settlement, and two westbound vehicles passed the palace to another clan settlement at the corner of Purple Mountain and Xuanwu Lake.

Kindergarten and primary schools leave a little early, and middle schools end a little later, staggered times, and four small trains are barely enough to transport students.

But today, Zhu Cheng did not leave with her sisters, but got into a car at the school gate to pick her up.

After getting into the car and throwing away his schoolbag, Zhu Cheng looked at the food box between Kong Dian's thin legs. "How many snacks did you make?"

"Six, two salty flavors that Yun Shanbo liked, and four sweet flavors that his mother liked. In addition, there is a jade Ruyi, which is a meeting gift for his mother, and a jade pendant that you personally give to Yun Shanbo. ”

Zhu Cheng smiled and said a little sweetly: "I don't know if his family gets along well......"

Meng Zhangbin, who was sitting in the front row, looked back and smiled: "The princess is so cute, anyone will like it." ”

Zhu Cheng nodded with her. "I'm going to have trouble with the guests in the future."

"Don't bother, it's the honor of a concubine."

In the community where Yunshan Bofu is located, Zhu Cheng is no stranger. This community is right next to the school, and more than 20 villas are inhabited by adult princes, and they are heavily guarded.

In the past, she came over calmly as usual, but when the car stopped downstairs today, her heart couldn't help but pound, her heart was flustered, and she was nervous with a little tinnitus.

The doorbell rang, and soon the small door opened, and a sturdy and honest young man saw that they were a few of them, and hurriedly saluted: "Hello female officials, may I ask...... What's the point? ”

Meng Zhangbin was in charge of welcoming and sending guests, and he paid the most attention to etiquette, and secretly said that if he was in the palace, such a disciple would have been killed a long time ago.

If it were in other noble mansions, she would definitely reprimand her.

However, this is the Yunshan Bo Mansion that His Majesty attaches the most importance to, and there is an unpredictable Yunshan Bo, who is still the future husband of the fourth princess, and she does not dare to be angry.

Holding back his temper, he asked, "Who are you?" Isn't there a door in the house? ”

The other party was a little ashamed and said: "There is no arrangement in the house for the time being, and it is Yun Shanbo's entourage Xu ...... My lord. ”

A tall and thin figure came out of the courtyard, and when he saw a few people at the door, he immediately reprimanded: "Open the door quickly, the fourth princess has arrived." ”

Huo Yi walked out quickly, hugged his fists and said: "The princess has arrived, and if she misses the distance, she hopes to forgive her sins." ”

Zhu Cheng replied with a half-salute, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Kong Dianbo couldn't help but smile and said: "The princess is a guest now, not necessarily in the future." Why did Lord Huo greet the guests on his behalf? ”

"I will stay here all this time, princess, please come in, Meng Zhangbin, Kong Dianbo, please ......"

Meng Zhangbin was secretly frightened, a Jinyi Wei Sipin Suppression Envoy, and now he actually went to the earl's suit to welcome the guests, and he was not at all unwilling, this Yunshan Uncle's Mansion was really going to be developed.

Immediately, she thought that this was the prince's house, and the twenty-four villas here were all prepared for the adult prince who had not yet been divided, and she was even more sure when she arrived.

Inside the house, Zhou's mother, who had already received the news, hurriedly greeted her, and the three women who came in, two middle-aged, and the young one was naturally the fourth princess.

Looking at the photos, I already feel that the four princesses are beautiful and fragrant, and now seeing real people adds a sense of aura.

Mother Zhou's heart was excited, she didn't dare to look at it more, and saluted: "The old body Zhou Liu, I have seen the four princesses." ”

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to let her salute, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou's mother's arm. "The old lady doesn't have to be polite, Ben...... The concubine took the liberty to come to the door, and I hope it is not rude. ”

Zhou's mother saw Zhu Cheng's pretty face closely, and she was very happy in her heart, because of the twists and turns of her childhood, the marriage had not been decided, and she had been worried in her heart.

Some time ago, her marriage with Yu Youwei had twists and turns, which made her even more worried.

But I never thought that now there is a better one.

Seeing that she is clever and humble, the more Zhou's mother likes it.

In the courtyard, two big men in brocade clothes and guards were originally checking for security loopholes, but at this time they drove their cars out of the courtyard and parked on the road in the community.

The duke's car, which was riding in the vermilion pot, stopped in the courtyard in order to prevent someone from installing explosives.

Zhou's mother looks at Zhu Cheng and likes it more and more, and Zhu Cheng looks at Zhou's mother, and she is getting closer and closer.

She does not have the graceful atmosphere of an ordinary nobleman's immediate mother, but her face is kind and her smile is sincere.

Zhou's mother was originally only a descendant of a military family, but because the eldest brother and Zhou Duo were colleagues, they introduced the two to get married.

Although she looks outstanding, she is a village girl.

It's just that over the years, with Zhou Duo's ability, he has gradually been promoted, and now he has a five-grade and five-grade pleasant official body.

Dongzhou is far away from the Ming Dynasty, where the people are fierce and simple, which is very different from the Zhongzhou where everything is exquisite.

There is no custom like a mother-in-law setting rules for her daughter-in-law.

Several women took a turn on the first floor, let Zhu Cheng get familiar with the layout, layout, and environment of this house, and went up to the second floor.

The second floor is where Zhou's mother and Zhou Bei live, Zhou's mother knew what Zhu Cheng wanted to see, so she deliberately opened her son's room and let Zhu Cheng see his study and bedroom, and then sat down in the small living room.

At this time, Kong Dianbo sent snacks and gifts specially prepared for Zhou's mother.

After learning about the situation of the Zhou family, Zhu Cheng became more and more satisfied.

Zhou Duo has a residence in the Liuhe Automobile Factory, and his aunt and concubine live there.

Both Zhou Dong and Zhou Nan were assigned houses and moved out.

Now only the third brother Zhou Xi is left at home, and he also lives in school, and it is rare to come back.

Only Zhou's mother stayed here to help Zhou Bei's housekeeper.

said that she was a housekeeper, but the population was simple and there was nothing to do, mainly because Zhou Bei had to go to school, and she stayed at home to help Zhou Bei socialize.

The population is simple, Zhou's mother is kind, Zhou Bei is not the eldest son, and he doesn't have too many affairs, so he can marry in the future and be the master of the house directly.

After chatting for a while, I heard movement outside, and saw Zhou Bei, who was wearing a school uniform, and two brocade guards entering the courtyard.

When the girls went downstairs, Zhu Cheng saw that Zhou Bei, who was wearing a school uniform, looked more and more erect, and he was too shy to look at it, which made Kong Dian smile with thin eyebrows.

She is Zhu Cheng's subordinate official, and she is destined to marry with Zhu Cheng in the future. The better the relationship between the two, the more relaxed she will be when she stays in this house in the future.

Zhou Bei stepped forward to salute, Zhu Cheng hurriedly returned the salute, and seeing the interaction between the two, the faces of the onlookers showed an aunt's smile.

After Zhou's mother and others finished the ceremony, they couldn't wait to pull Zhou Bei upstairs and show him the jade Ruyi brought by Zhu Cheng. "This gift is so heavy, and there is no corresponding return gift at home, what should I do?"

The Ming Dynasty also valued nephrite, especially Hetian jade. This jade Ruyi is made of Hetian jade, the jade color is warm and full, and it is obviously very valuable.

The Zhou family is a small family, even if they have silver, they don't have much accumulation, and they don't have a suitable return gift.

Zhou Bei groaned for a while, turned around and entered his room, took out a silver ticket of 10,000 silver coins, came out and handed it to her and said, "Mother, don't worry, you call Hou Guiqiang and ask him to enter the city immediately and choose an appropriate return gift." ”
