Zhou understood what her husband meant, and she was also shocked, if this was the case, then the Fourth Highness was indeed a person worthy of his life.

Zhou had nothing to say, Shen Chunhong felt much more comfortable, sighed, looked at a pair of children, his son was fifteen years old, which was the age of studying, he said, "When my father makes some contributions in front of the four princes, I will fight for you, whether you can enter the Ming Imperial Academy to study." ”

Shen Shen listened to it, he was overjoyed, and his eyebrows danced, "Dad, I heard that Wang Ji and Zhang Ying made a bet with someone, and the day after tomorrow they will demonstrate that two iron balls hit the ground at the same time on the medicine pagoda of Jiming Temple, and my son will want to go and see it when the time comes." ”

The cause of the incident originated from the fact that two days ago, Wang Ji and his former classmates drank together in the Tongfu wine shop, talking about the latest knowledge they learned from the four princes, two iron balls of different sizes hit the ground at the same time, and those classmates were not convinced, so they had this bet.

Shen Shenzhi wanted to see it very much, but he was always afraid that his father would not agree, and now his father took the initiative to mention the Ming Imperial Academy, Shen Shenzhi was very happy, he always felt that learning these principles of things was more useful and interesting than learning them.

"Go ahead!" Shen Chunhong had been detaining his son before, not because he was afraid that he would cause trouble outside, but because he was afraid that someone would target the Shen family and go bankrupt if he was not careful.

Now, with the fourth prince as his backer, he believes that as long as his son doesn't cause trouble, no disaster will befall him.

Shen Chunhong looked at his daughter Shen Ruoxue and said, "Go ahead, I have something to discuss with your mother." ”

Shen Ruoxue thought of something, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and hurriedly went out.

Shen Shenzhi took this opportunity to run happily, the two iron balls hit the ground at the same time, all he thought about was this, his father also said, go back and ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to intercede, let him enter the Ming Imperial Academy, why does he want his father to intercede, can't he go to the exam himself?

The Ming Imperial Academy posted the enrollment brochure, and Shen Shenzhi couldn't wait to look at it.

Zhou was a little nervous and looked at her husband, "Master, is it about your daughter?" ”

"Hmm!" Although it was a little difficult to speak, Shen Chunhong still gritted his teeth and said, "I know that you love Ruoxue and want to find a family for her to be a wife, but what I think is that instead of marrying a man who has no interest as a wife, it is better to let her serve His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Zhou only felt that her eyes were dark, and she resisted the urge to vomit blood, "Master, it's not enough for most of the family wealth to be scattered, you still have to compensate your daughter?" ”

Shen Chunhong didn't look at his wife's face, and said to himself, "I'm thinking about my daughter here, I'm all I say, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter." At the moment, there is no step to compensate for the daughter, and if you and I are willing, the four princes may not be able to take a fancy to their daughter. ”

Shen Ruoxue didn't know what her father was going to say to her mother, although she went out, she didn't go far, but stood in front of the window, and the grandmother who served in front of her mother helped her cover up and let her hear these words.

Shen Ruoxue's face was flushed when she heard this, she didn't dare to listen anymore, she covered her face and walked out of her mother's yard, standing by the lake, full of autumn lotus, the orange sunset sprinkled on the water, the scenery was picturesque, but she had no intention of appreciating it.

I don't know what the four princes look like in their father's mouth, who is so righteous, affectionate, and very capable?

She instructed the maid Chunxiao, "You go to see Shen Tong from time to time, ask, and if you can find out the whereabouts of the four princes, come and tell me." “

Chunxiao was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Girl, is this appropriate?" ”

"What's right and what's not suitable? Don't you listen to me? Shen Ruoxue was originally very shy, Chunxiao pushed her up like this, she suddenly became angry, shook the handkerchief, turned around and went to her yard.

Chunxiao hurriedly followed, not daring to get closer, only following behind, thinking in her heart, how could the whereabouts of the four princes be so easy to find out? She's just worried in vain.

Zhang Fu and Huang Zicheng finally arrived in Yunnan after a lot of hardships, and were welcomed into the Hou Mansion by Xiping Hou Mucheng, and sat down after seeing each other, Huang Zicheng introduced his intention.

Zhang Fu handed the album to Mu Cheng, "Master Hou, take a look, have you ever seen this plant?" ”

Mu Cheng saw that Zhang Fu had come over, which was enough to show how much the emperor and the four princes attached importance to this matter, and he hurriedly called the staff of the house, two of whom were natives of Yunnan and were very familiar with the mountains and rivers here.

"This ...... Hou Ye, this tree has been seen by subordinates, it grows on the side of Banna, in the col, it is so big, cut a knife and flow a lot of water like milk, the locals don't know what it is, it's useless, thick and tall, bearing seeds, the wind blows, the seeds fall, and the seedlings will emerge in the spring of the next year, seeing more and more, and they also said that they want to saw this tree. ”

"Don't saw!" Huang Zicheng was about to cry, and said to the staff, "Brother, can you take me to see?" ”

"Yes, of course you can, since this is the emperor's order, we will naturally do our best!" The staff member bowed to the south.

Mu Chengdao, "Now that things have been settled, this is a good thing, to be honest, I have been in Yunnan for so many years, and I really don't know that there are such rubber trees here." ”

Historically, there were no rubber trees in Yunnan, and the seeds of rubber trees were transported from South America after several twists and turns. But apparently the system has changed a lot.

When Mu Cheng's father Mu Ying was eight years old, he was accepted as a righteous son by Emperor Taizu, and at the age of twelve, he followed Emperor Taizu to conquer and fight. Mu Ying was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizu and regarded Emperor Taizu and Empress Gao as her biological parents.

Mu Cheng has lived in Yingtianfu since he was a child, he was not smiling when he was young, he was quiet, he liked to read, Emperor Taizu liked it very much, and later served as the governor of the right army and the left capital.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Mu Cheng's half-brother Mu Chun, Marquis of Xiping, died, and he had no children behind him, so Mu Cheng was the lord.

When he arrived in Yunnan, the rebel Dao Gan Meng rebelled again, and Zhu Yunwen, who was the emperor at the time, ordered He Fu to be the general of the conquest, and together with Mu Cheng, he broke through the enemy village and captured Dao Gan Meng, and recruited more than 70,000 enemy troops.

After that, Mu Cheng leveled the territories occupied by the barbarians one by one, divided the land he guarded into three prefectures, two prefectures and five governors, and set up a thousand households west of the Nu River, and the land of Luchuan was settled.

In just over three years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Yunnan, and what Mu Cheng didn't expect was that Ying Tianfu had also changed his day.

The hazy moonlight shrouded the back garden of the Xiping Marquis's Mansion, and the palace lamps on the ground echoed with the stars in the sky, reflecting each other.

After the daytime reception, Mu Cheng specially prepared a small wine and invited Zhang Fu to drink together, there are some things, he needs to know from the mouth of the person from the capital that in a flower hall not far from the garden, Mu Cheng asked his staff to invite Huang Zicheng to drink.
