The boat docked, and a group of salute officials came to pick it up, Zhu Yuan followed Lao Zhu and got off the boat, and the sound of drums sounded on the shore at the right time.

This was followed by a queue.

Returning to the line, Lao Zhu was at the front, and behind him was a cadre of civil and military entourage, Wen left and right, standing in line according to the grade, because of the large number of people, it took more than a quarter of an hour just to line up, and the drum music finally stopped.

Zhu Yuan was able to rank first among Wenchen by virtue of his own positive three products, and Lao Zhu specially explained.

After all, strictly speaking, he is not among the victorious expeditions.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan also clearly saw a young man who came up for the first time.

Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao, who is only 13 years old this year, is half a head taller than the current Zhu Yuan, with a slightly childish white and round face. Lao Zhu and his wife both have round faces, and the husband and wife are very sufficient, however, Lao Zhu is a knife eyebrow, and the momentum is very sharp, and Zhu Biao is similar to Ma's lying silkworm eyebrows, so the face looks soft.

It is very common for sons to be like mothers.

Speaking of which, there was once an argument that Ma had no sons and only gave birth to two daughters. Lao Zhu's twenty-six sons, starting from Zhu Biao, were all born by other concubines.

Regarding this point of view, whether it was a sworn friend who was a descendant of King Qin, or Zhu Yuan, who was forced to follow and watch too much Ming history, they all had the opposite attitude.

The fourth and fifth are not born to Ma, which is most likely true, but the first three, not to mention that Zhu Biao is obviously biased towards Ma's appearance at the moment, can also be determined by inference based on various records in history.

For example, one.

Lao Zhu married this wife when Ma was 20 years old in 1352, this year, Lao Zhu was 24 years old, just defected to Guo Zixing, and married the goddaughter of the leader in just one year.

Then, Zhu Biao was born in 1355, three years after the marriage of the old Zhu and his wife.

If you count the time of pregnancy, it may only be two years or even more than a year. Moreover, during this time, Guo Zixing was still alive, and Lao Zhu nominally worked for Guo Zixing again. Considering the feelings of the 'mother's family', Lao Zhu, who also attaches great importance to rules and etiquette in his bones, will not get a concubine to get pregnant.

Even, even if Lao Zhu had other women in the meantime, according to the unspoken rules of some inner houses in ancient times, it was impossible for the Ma family to lack scheming and let other women give birth to their husbands first.

On the other hand, although the husband and wife were both older young people at that time, they married super late, but from a physiological point of view, they were both the most suitable age for childbearing...... Both husband and wife are physically fine.

Lao Zhu has twenty-six sons to attest. Ma, since he can give birth to a daughter later, there is no reason why he can't give birth to a son before.

With all these superimpositions, from all levels, Zhu Biao will only be Ma's biological son.

Then, there were Zhu Fan and Zhu Li in a row, the time was right, and during this time, Lao Zhu was still in the rising period of personal struggle, he was a person with enough self-control, and he would not indulge in women.

On the Ma side, after giving birth to three sons, his position was stable, and Lao Zhu's personal career had reached a peak, confirming that he was in a certain invincible position, and he no longer minded other women giving birth to heirs for their husbands.

Moreover, at that time, when Zhu Di was born, Lao Zhu had already gained a firm foothold in Yingtian, and he also got rid of the Guo family, which was regarded as a hegemon.

So you can enjoy it a little bit.

That's why there are the fourth and fifth.

The biological mother of the two brothers is a 'concubine' who has basically left no records, which just proves the stability of Ma's position, so that even if a concubine gave birth to a son during that time, she did not leave much information.

As for the rumors that Zhu Biao's biological mother is 'Concubine Li Shu', not to mention that the time is not right, just think about a certain picture.

Lao Zhu Cai and his wife have been married for more than a year, and they can't wait to accept the daughter of his subordinate Li Jie as a concubine, and soon gave birth to a son, and gave birth to three in a row.

This kind of thing, with Lao Zhu's emotional character, can you do it?

On the Longwan Pier.

Zhu Yuan's thoughts were flying, and on the other side, Zhu Biao was solemnly reciting a large number of congratulatory greetings to his father, and after reading, he was serving wine again.

Zhu Yuan also got a cup.

Then, before it was over, there was another drumming and dancing that lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

And that's not all.

There is also a section to show the captives.

And, in front of hundreds of officials and people, His Majesty the Emperor also spoke aloud. Probably modest, this battle is thanks to the blessing of God, the ancestors appeared, and the soldiers used their lives, not their own work, and then looked forward to the future.

Balabala.

Lao Zhu's words fell, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, all the officials and the people bowed down together to congratulate.

When the ceremony finally ended, more than half an hour had passed.

Zhu Yuan felt a little numb in his legs, his head began to be dizzy, and his stomach was hungry, he thought it could finally end, but he was beckoned forward by Lao Zhu: "Yuan'er, come, see the mark." ”

The two young men who quietly looked at each other more than once and found that the other party had looked at them looked at each other again, and Zhu Yuan was about to bow down, but was stopped by Lao Zhu: "Don't be so polite, let you see the outside." ”

Lao Zhu said this, Zhu Yuan pushed the boat down the river, but he still took a deep look: "Yuan'er has seen His Royal Highness." ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Biao looked at this peer more closely, and stretched out his hand to help: "Hanlin, please get up." ”

"Later...... Oh, I should call uncle," Lao Zhu also felt a little awkward, but still said: "I have already asked people to draw up an edict, and when I am busy with these few days, I should do your salute," so he said, facing the puzzled gaze of the eldest son, Lao Zhu smiled: "Biao'er, Yuan'er is our own family, and the two of them will be closer in the future." ”

Hearing the words 'uncle' and 'grandfather', and then thinking of some of his mother's occasional words, Zhu Biao's eyes flashed, and he nodded quickly.

Not far behind Zhu Biao, the courtiers who rushed to greet him also heard His Majesty the Emperor's words, and their expressions were even different.

This......

What a family.

It's just, it seems...... The seniority doesn't seem right.

Lao Zhu pulled the two children and grandchildren to finish speaking, and did not snub the ministers, stepped forward, starting with Li Shanchang, and Zhu Yuan could only follow patiently.

Soon arrived at a military general, about thirty years old, looking very young, but more than one meter eight, even if he has a long oval face, full of drape, it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit.

Lao Zhu's smile was obviously a little more, and he pulled Zhu Yuan forward again: "Yuan'er, this is Youde, he is also a young talent, he began to lead the army at the age of sixteen, and soon became a captain." ”

Fu Youde?

Zhu Yuan was lost in the lake, and reacted, Fu Youde was still on the front line, and his age was not right, and Lao Zhu was so close, which made him quickly remember another person, Deng Yu.

Deng Yu, formerly known as Deng Youde, is known as Boyan.

Why did you change your name?

Most likely, it's because of a certain name maniac.

Speaking of which, as one of the six founding dukes given by Hongwu in the third year, Deng Yu's military achievements are far inferior to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and even Liao Yongzhong and Tang He, who were feuded as marquises, are not as good as the dukes.

This point is expressed by Lao Zhu in historical materials.

In the past few months, Lao Zhu was recruited outside, and Deng Yu was deliberately transferred back to Jinling to guard, and the trust can be seen.

Moreover, in the later "History of the Ming Dynasty", Deng Yu's biography was arranged in the same volume as Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying, and it is obvious that the historian is also positioned.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan hurriedly shook again: "Zhu Yuan has seen General Deng." ”

Although he was more than a round older than Zhu Yuan, Deng Yu did not support him like Zhu Biao, but hugged his fists and returned the salute, and said with a gentle smile: "The name of Hanlin, the more I have heard of it, I am finally fortunate to see it today." ”

Lao Zhu took Zhu Yuan to meet several other Wenchen generals who he didn't know before, and finally found that his baby twenty-third grandson had a wrong face, reacted, shook his head and smiled: "Your body, forget it, that's it for today, hurry back and rest, well, you don't have to participate in those ceremonies tomorrow, take a good rest." Also, if you are weak, you can also be exempted from the court meeting in the future, so that's it. ”

Zhu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially if you don't have to participate in the morning pilgrimage every day, I have to say that the ancestors are really thoughtful.

Respectfully bidding farewell to everyone around him one by one, Zhu Yuan left the team, and quickly found Zhao Xu in the outer crowd under the escort of a ceremonial officer ordered by Lao Zhu.

Hurriedly walked over.

Zhao Xu led a team of personal soldiers to wait on the periphery, and when he saw the appearance of his own petty officials, he didn't say much, helped line up the crowd, and soon came to a sedan chair on the north side of the dock.

Freehand, blank, Qingniang, Luoshui and sacks, as well as Qiao Wang, Lu Liang and others, when they saw Zhu Yuan, they all greeted him.

Zhu Yuan didn't have the strength to say anything more, so he waved his hand and said simply: "Go home." ”

A few freehand hurriedly stepped forward to help, carefully sent their own little officials into the sedan chair, and the uneasy blank space also came in with them.

After Zhu Yuan sat down, he collapsed directly backwards, felt Liubai coming over, reached out to hold Nizi's small waist, pulled it in front of him, and turned his head from leaning back to rushing forward.

Comfortable.

Then just close your eyes.

The sedan chair was lifted, very stable, Zhu Yuan pulled Liubai to sit down together, like a pillow, holding the fragrance of the full fragrance softly, and quickly fell asleep. I don't know how long it took to hear a soft call in my ear, and then I opened my eyes.

The light is dim.

When I docked, it was already equivalent to the first quarter of the Shen hour at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the triumphal ceremony lasted for more than half an hour, and then I went all the way back to this side, thinking that it should have been past six o'clock, and you were about right.

After sleeping and recovering a lot, Zhu Yuan walked out of the sedan chair after stopping the blank support.

It is the beginning of winter soon, the sky is getting shorter, and under the almost dim night, observing the surroundings, the first thing that attracts Zhu Yuan's attention is a magnificent gate.

For the sake of the new repair, the gate of the three rooms, the red lacquer columns, the painted beams, and the blue tiles, the whole is very beautiful.

Inside and outside the door were men and women waiting respectfully.

There is also a pair of stone lions in front of the door.

Well.

Zhu Yuan stopped and looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "There is no plaque missing." ”

Come to think of it.

I'm here now...... Is it a 'house' or a 'house'?

It seems to be a knowledge point.

However, I can't remember clearly, anyway, I was influenced a lot by film and television works later, such as 'mansion' and the like, whatever is easy to say.

wrote an opinion on the smiling appearance of his own petty official, and then said with a smile: "I haven't hung a plaque yet, and all kinds of details have to wait for the petty official to decide in person." ”

Zhu Yuan nodded.

I didn't rush into the door, and looked around.

At the foot is a small square paved with blue bricks, the area is not large, but it is paved all the way to the lakeside railing, the widest point, that is, in front of the eyes, about two zhang shape, and extends to the left and right. On the left, there is a stone path that leads to several islands to the southwest until it leaves the lake, and on the right, you can see the original pier and the annex on the east side, where the gate has been remodeled into a small gate.

Former annex.

This is also exquisite.

Small households do not open two doors, large households, except for the main entrance, other corner doors must be repaired smaller, from the perspective of feng shui, this is to avoid the loss of luck.

Zhu Yuan still believes in this.

Also, the walls are very high.

Zhu Yuan knew that it was one zhang five, about five meters, and this time there was no painting, compared to the gate, the outer wall was a very simple blue brick appearance.

This was also finalized by Zhu Yuan.

Because, at present, the outer wall of the imperial city in the east of Jinling City is like this, it is not carved and very simple. Even so, he can't make it more fancy than his ancestors, let alone the forbidden red of the Forbidden City later.

Looking around again, there is fog, and it is a deep twilight moment, the huge back lake is a deep scene, in addition to several other islands in the middle of the lake, you can also see some withered remnants, and then far, the vision begins to be unclear.

The lotus scenery of the lake after summer is a must. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to see it this year.

Can only wait for the rain.

Leave the remnants to listen to the sound of the rain.

When the wind is blowing, I subconsciously want to put my hands together, think about the surroundings, forget it, and keep the image, so I stepped into the door.

A group of people behind him hurriedly followed.

Zhu Yuan approached, and the male and female servants and maids on both sides who basically didn't know each other gave salutes one after another.

Zhu Yuan also knows that it is rare for the gate to be opened once, and in the future, even if it is him, the master, most of the time he will walk through the corner gates everywhere, and today is special, it will be like this.

That's the rule, too.

After entering the door, seeing that the front hall was far away the width of a football field, Zhu Yuan immediately didn't want to leave.

Fortunately, there is already a shoulder on the side.

Sitting up, hugging back and forth, but didn't bother to look around, covered his fur, and squinted his eyes again.

In fact, I have seen it many times on the drawings, and the layout of this mansion was basically set by Zhu Yuan in Mingzhou.

The original island, after a slight expansion of the lake, is about an irregular circle with a diameter of 120 zhang, the center of the circle, is a square layout of the mansion, the length and width are very clever 88 zhang, close to 300 meters, covering a total area of 130 acres.

Inside, it is the compact layout of the Jiangnan courtyard that Zhu Yuan prefers after seeing more.

The east-west five-fold courtyard is the widest in the middle and slightly narrower on both sides.

North-south, the middle is also a five-fold courtyard, the two sides are roughly seven-fold courtyards in proportion, not standard symmetry, the house where Zhu Yuan originally settled in the east, there is a large garden, except for the outer wall, the inner pattern is basically unchanged.

Anyway, this time, there are a total of 392 rooms in the whole house, large and small, and there will definitely be no more crowding when Dinghai was located.

When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived at the inner courtyard of my daily life.

This is the fourth courtyard.

There is also a place for a heavy female roll.,If you have a child in the future.,It's also a place to live in the back.。

At the back, there is a row of photo rooms built against the wall, living or storage, the northwest corner of the light room, or the standard direction of feng shui, is a back door.

Outside the door is a small wharf, which can be reached by boat to Houhu Medical College and Jinling University on the north shore of Houhu Lake, and Zhu Yuan also knows that the family members related to Freehand, Liubai, and Qingniang, as well as a large number of craftsmen who have recently come to Jinling from Mingzhou, are mainly arranged near Hongshan or Shogunate Mountain on the north shore of Houhu Lake.

Therefore, it will definitely be a frequent place in the future.

However, Zhu Yuan has no plans to fill in the lake or build bridges.

It's nice to take a boat.

Earlier, Lao Zhu didn't mention to Zhu Yuan whether he wanted to build a house in another place, such as in the city.

Zhu Yuan chose to refuse.

I still prefer to keep some distance from people.

Besides, the inner courtyard in front of him, not counting the ear room, has seven rooms with a wide roof and two rooms deep, which is also a point that Zhu Yuan heard about the official because of this.

Whether it is a series of seven-room halls from the front hall to the backyard, or an overall hundred-acre mansion, in this era, it is actually the regulation of the prince. The so-called '1,000 acres of the Son of Heaven's house, 100 acres of the princes' house, and 9 acres of the doctor'. However, because it was approved by Lao Zhu, and since the early Ming Dynasty, all aspects of the system have not yet been clarified, so the official can only talk about it.

When he came to the inner courtyard, Zhu Yuan was carefully served by a group of warblers and Yanyan, after eating and bathing, and went to bed early before eight o'clock.

Tired.

Moreover, even if you don't have to go to court or participate in various ceremonies tomorrow, you still have a lot to do.

It's not idle at all.

Moreover, there is the day after tomorrow, it is Lao Zhu's birthday, and he must not be avoided.
