Cheng's ability to write down these names is already very good, she can understand her daughter's mood, and said with a smile, "Mother just listened to your father, your father listened to General Zhang, what is going on, what does your father mean, let you and your brother go to the capital, if those are really good, your father said, let your brother get some back, it can be regarded as creating welfare for the place." “

Mu Ruyan didn't know what her father and mother had in mind, and she didn't think much about it, she just thought that it was a very happy thing to be able to go to Jingshi.

When she was a child, she heard her father talk about growing up in Beijing, the towering city walls, the glorious palace, all kinds of food on the streets, and the merchants from the south and north gathered in Beijing, how lively!

"Okay, mother, when will you leave?"

"Wait until your father and General Zhang get the rubber back from Banna." Seeing the disappointment in her daughter's eyes, Cheng couldn't help but shake her head, feeling sad for a while, "You just pack up first, the queen said that she would stay in the palace for a few days, and the mother asked the needle and thread to make more clothes for you, and she also had to go to the silver building to make more jewelry." ”

"What's so good about the clothes and jewelry here? How does my mother know what jewelry is popular in the capital? It's better for the mother to give her daughter more silver tickets, and when her daughter goes to Beijing and has silver, she is afraid that she will not be able to buy good-looking clothes and jewelry? ”

Cheng thought about it, and he couldn't wait to be divided into two halves, half to stay in Yunnan, and half to follow his son and daughter to Beijing.

She looked at her flower-like daughter, just like the swallow that flew south, in two years, she didn't know whose beam she would nest on, and her heart swelled with sadness.

In the capital, it is already winter, and the chrysanthemums everywhere have failed, but there are always some skilled craftsmen who can advance the flowering period or delay the flowering period.

Mama Tang was accompanying Xu to look at the chrysanthemums sent, the jade flowers were white, with a little rose red mixed with silk, and the jade pot spring with yellow heart and lotus flowers; Yellowstone chrysanthemum with positive petals and golden yellow mixed with green halos; Facing the wind, like a banner, charming with a little domineering handsome flag chrysanthemum......

In the imperial garden, a pavilion has been specially set up for a vacant space, where all kinds of precious chrysanthemums are placed or are ready to be put or bloom brightly, which is very rare in this weather when the snow is about to fall.

The wind raised the cloak behind Xu's back, and she said with a smile, "I don't know where Xiao Si got this ability, I heard that I was going to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, and I didn't have good chrysanthemums, so I asked someone to send these in." ”

Mama Tang joked, "It is said that the four highnesses are capable and filial, what is the matter here, the four highnesses run the most diligently, and they can always help the mother to solve the problem, so they said that this chrysanthemum banquet, if it weren't for these chrysanthemums, the mother was afraid that she would have broken her promise." ”

"You say, did she do it on purpose, or what? I said that she would hold a chrysanthemum banquet before, but she said it in front of so many people, and since I agreed, there is no reason to break my word. She prefers today's matter, tomorrow's matter, and she has to drag it out until she can't put it off anymore. ”

Xu Shi turned his head to look at Mama Tang, "I asked you to inquire about Wei's affairs, have you inquired clearly?" ”

"The slave maid has inquired, and I heard that Wei's mother is a little involved with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the slave and maid only learned about it recently." Mama Tang said.

The Xu family didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she had to wonder what her good daughter-in-law was thinking at this time, to give a person who was involved with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the second concubine?

"Where did you hear that?"

"The slave met Huang Gonggong a few days ago, and when she talked about this Wei girl, she heard what Huang Gonggong said, saying that the Fourth Highness specially said to the Second Highness that Fei County Wei is a descendant of Genghis Khan Temujin, and when the slave and maid heard it, it was not good, so she hurriedly asked Zhang Luoren to inquire, although it was not very true, but this is also an eyebrow."

Xu's body shook, leaned on the railing, and closed his eyes, "Don't talk about this outside, wait a while, the chrysanthemum banquet will open, she brought people here, and I will make arrangements." ”

"Niangniang, at the family banquet that day, since the princess said that this Miss Wei is for His Royal Highness, she will be a concubine for His Royal Highness." Mama Tang saw that Xu's face was not good, and she was also a little anxious.

"I don't know, but you also know how many good things the second child sold in front of me for this girl? He's not too young, it's easy to fall in love with a girl, I don't say how good the girl's family background is, as long as it's a clean family, I'm willing. But if you have something to do with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and become husband and wife in the future, how can you live this life? ”

Zhang is the daughter-in-law selected by the Xu family, at this time, in front of Mama Tang, how much resentment Xu has in her heart, she can't say.

"Where's the little four?" Xu asked, it seemed that when she saw her youngest son, she would feel a little better.

"His Royal Highness led the students to the Medicine Buddha Pagoda today, saying that he wanted to demonstrate that two iron balls hit the ground at the same time in front of the people of Quanying Tianfu."

"What song is this kid playing?" Xu couldn't help but shake her head, and when she talked about her youngest son, there was more smile on her face.

Most of the people who come to Jiming Temple today are some students, Tai students and students of the Ming Imperial Academy, divided into two camps, each standing on both sides of the Medicine Pagoda, and directly opposite is the two umbrella canopies behind Zhu Di, Zhu Di is sitting below, and behind him is the accompanying civil and military officials.

Zhu Gaoxian and his three elder brothers stood beside his father, and on the Medicine Master Stupa were his two protégés, Wang Ji and Zhang Ying, as well as Tai students led by Liao Yong and Fang Zhongxian.

Zhu Gaoxian nodded at Wang Ji, and Wang Ji stepped forward with an iron ball of different sizes in his left hand and right hand, stood in front of the railing, and said loudly, "Everyone is optimistic, these are two iron balls in my hand, one big and one small ......."

He raised his hand and gestured so that everyone could see the iron balls in his hand, one about the size of a bowl, and the other smaller than a baby's fist.

"The big one weighs twelve pounds, the small one weighs two pounds, today's demonstration, on the orders of my president of the Ming Imperial Academy, allows everyone to gamble a little comfortably, there are already dealers present, everyone wants to gamble, you can start buying size."

Immediately, some professionals shouted, "Come and buy, you can buy big and small, you can make a fortune with a small gamble!" ”

At that moment, there were students from the Ming Imperial Academy who bought and landed together, and the Tai students all bought big balls and landed first, and those officials looked at Zhu Di, if the emperor didn't make a move, none of them dared to go first.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian looked at his nose and nose, pretending not to sense his father's gaze, Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh secretly, scolded the rabbit cub in his heart, and told Zhu Gaochi, "Help me buy a big ball and land first." ”
