When I returned home from the Imperial City, it was almost noon.

The sedan chair was blocked by the blank space that had been waiting for a long time in the outer courtyard, saying that it was the freehand father who came to send the opera troupe, and by the way, and the Qiao family, the Sang family, the Li family and other old people who came from Shandong, the shopkeeper of Zhiyongzhai Lu Liang and other artisan elders who relied on Zhu Yuan, the elders of the Humin servant households headed by a certain sack family, the old people brought back from Mingzhou, and the Mu family, the Fan family, the Zhuo family and other tenant heads in the south of the city who returned the land but still recognized Zhu Yuan as the master.

Liubai said cautiously, constantly looking at his adult's face, and emphasized at the end: "My lord, I'm really just here to congratulate you, and ...... also deliberately picked the Fushou Shuangquan full of grandchildren. ”

The concern about white space is also obvious.

There are many etiquettes in big families, not to mention that it is still a royal family, Zhu Yuan said that he only let the Qiao family handle it by himself today, and he didn't plan to hold a banquet in the mansion, but Qiao Wang still took the initiative to come and brought a group of people.

Even if you have roughly figured out your adult personality over the past year, it is inevitable to worry about the blank space.

What if the adults in my family feel that this is the mother's family who came over and deliberately wanted to elevate the identity of the freehand sister, so they are annoyed, what should I do?

Of course, Zhu Yuan, who was leaning on the sedan chair, was not angry.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the rules of concubines in this era, and he doesn't care about it in his bones, but since he is in the current era, he always can't help himself, so he was ordered to keep a low profile before.

Now, since I'm here, of course I'll see you.

So he nodded and said: "It's in the main hall of the second courtyard, you remember to explain, you are not allowed to make any big gifts, just say a few auspicious words." In addition, well, since you come to the door, you must have happy money, and it is also auspicious, you go and order everyone to pack one. ”

Seeing that his own adult said this, he relaxed himself, nodded, put down the sedan curtain, and followed his adult all the way to the main hall of the second courtyard, and instructed his subordinates to take care of him before he went to call someone.

After a while, an old man in brand new clothes entered the door, but the leader was not Qiao Wang, but Qingniang's uncle, who had met him after returning to Jinling, named Li Mingli.

The reason why Zhu Yuan can remember his name is because Qingniang's deceased father is named Li Mingchen.

The name is too distinctive.

Although, in the name of 'famous minister', he has only been a small official in his life, and he married his daughter to someone as a second room, what kind of person can Zhu Yuan probably imagine.

I didn't think much about it now, seeing a group of old men saying hello to him, Zhu Yuan also responded with a smile.

Then invite to be seated.

Speaking of which, in just one year, the families backed by Zhu Yuan, whether they have a deed or not, add up to one or two thousand people, and the power of power can be seen indirectly.

At the moment, each family only selected a total of 10 old people as representatives, and the two sides were lined up in turn, Li Mingli was pushed by Qiao Wang to sit on the left side, and Qiao Wang sat on the right.

The waiter sent tea, and everyone stopped mentioning the affairs of the inner courtyard, Qiao Wang took the initiative to find a word, and said that the opera troupe he found had a good singing voice, and Zhu Yuan also asked about the recent affairs of each family.

Actually, of course I do.

For example, several families from Shandong were previously located in the north of Xuanwu Lake and around the Shogunate Mountain. Especially after Lao Zhu brought 30,000 artisan households, plus the recent arrival of 100,000, the population around Xuanwu Lake has increased dramatically, and it is conceivable that the number of managers needed has also increased.

Zhu Yuan didn't make special arrangements for this, but the identities of each family were there, and if he didn't arrange it, someone would take the initiative to help arrange it.

Be a lieutenant, be a government official, and so on.

For example, the sweeping and sprinkler manager of Jinling University, who is responsible for the daily cleaning and maintenance of the campus, is the uncle named Gu Sanliu.

Zhu Yuan's attitude towards this is that as long as he doesn't go too far, there will be no problem, and in addition, he must also tell him that this is also part of the 'Qi family', so as not to cause trouble among the people around him in the future, and he will not know.

Qiao Wang and the others didn't stay long, chatted a few words, and took the initiative to leave after less than a cup of tea.

He Xuan was in charge of sending each other, as well as the red envelopes he had ordered before.

Zhu Yuan returned to the inner house.

But it is not a courtyard for daily living, but a courtyard in front, the main house has the same seven rooms and two entrances, Zhu Yuan ordered it to be placed into a study before, but after returning to Jinling for so long, the front yard often goes, the back yard lives for a long time, and the third courtyard in the middle rarely comes.

Blank space they have already set up.

In addition to the sumptuous luncheon, a small stage was set up in the spacious West House.

Zhu Yuan was first served in the east room to change into a set of clothes, and then came to the west room, sat down at the dining table, surrounded by Liubai, Qing Niang, Luo Shui and a group of big and small girls, the same fun, and deliberately called the very edible sycamore over, but the white segmented fur on the body was replaced with a very festive gold today.

Touching the big head of Wutong's hair, looking at the girl kneeling at her feet and waiting to start, Zhu Yuan was curious: "What kind of skin is this?" ”

"Fox skin," Luo Shui said, "My lord, but it's good-looking?" ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Not bad." ”

That's it, a group of girls called Wutong at this time, and they still look like this...... It's really, it's really like a cat or something like that. I have to say that although they have been ruled by Meng Yuan for nearly a hundred years, in this era, the Han people are still very proud, and they still look down on all kinds of barbarians in their hearts.

Compare hundreds of years later, well...... I don't want to spoil it.

On the other side, he waited for Zhu Yuan to finish asking, and asked, "My lord, do you want to start?" ”

"Hmm."

Blank and pointed to the stage outside: "Do you want to put down the curtain?" ”

Zhu Yuan laughed: "I'm not a woman, what kind of curtain to put up, right...... They're all girls, right? ”

Liubai nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuan reached out again and rubbed the big head that Wutong had come over: "Then let's start." ”

Liubai motioned to the other two, and Luo Shui and Qingniang went out together, one passing the dishes and the other passing the play.

Soon, the sumptuous dishes were served, and on the stage, the costumed actors also began to perform, the female singers in men's clothes dressed up as scholars, Yiyi introduced herself in a babbling manner, surnamed Ning Caichen, a person from Mingzhou, Zhejiang, entered Beijing to catch the exam, and met the ancient temple in front of him, named 'Lan Ruo', and planned to rest for one night.

Zhu Yuan was originally not interested in opera, but there was really no entertainment in this era, and it was interesting to listen to it now, even more so with the big and small girls around him, after all, he was locked up in the inner house for too long on weekdays.

It's just that the energy is limited.

After Zhu Yuan finished eating, he continued to read a few folds, and soon became a little tired.

The girls around him skillfully removed the tables and chairs and replaced them with a low couch, Zhu Yuan ordered not to stop, mainly because he wanted the girls around him to finish watching, and he slowly fell asleep in the sound of this opera.

When I woke up again, it was evening.

After taking a serious bath, it was a sumptuous dinner accompanied by a song "Pipa Story", and after the end, I finally came to the back house.

Entering the master bedroom, the red candle shines high.

A few blank spaces didn't follow up, and were replaced by two red-clothed maids who were waiting in advance.

Zhu Yuan didn't look at the maid, his eyes had already fallen on the freehand body next to the bed, dressed in a splendid red dress, full of pearls, and makeup that was very in line with Zhu Yuan's aesthetics, which made people feel excited at a glance.

When he got closer, he picked up the freehand face that he subconsciously wanted to hang down because of shyness, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I just found out that I haven't seen you for a few days, do you want me?" ”

Freehand face was only coated with powder, and at this time it could not hide the rosiness of the cheeks, and after a small pause, he still said obediently: "I want to, my lord." ”

Zhu Yuan felt that his palms were a little hot, he liked to be warm, so he leaned closer and kissed the girl on the lips: "Tonight, I want to call the official." ”

Freehand wanted to nod, his face was still being held, he couldn't move, he could only open his mouth, and called: "Official~"

Sure enough, it was hotter.

Moreover, this sound was soft and glutinous, Zhu Yuan no longer endured it, stepped forward a little more, and pushed the girl in front of him down.

Under the candlestick.

On this night, spring is boundless.

On a new day, Zhu Yuan woke up and found that Nizi beside him was already staring at him. The night has passed, and the pearls and emeralds on the head have long been gone, not to mention others, so it is very comfortable to snuggle up at the moment.

Zhu Yuan opened his eyes, became shy again, and wanted to get up: "Slave waits for the adult to dress." ”

But he was pulled down: "Lie in bed today." ”

So he lay down obediently.

Looking at each other, in the bed, Freehand was bold enough to take the initiative to pull his adult hands to his body, but he didn't speak.

Zhu Yuan could only speak first: "Is there anything you want to ask, for example, why is it the third day of the lunar month?" ”

Freehand hesitated, did not ask, but said, "Slave...... Thinking about it privately, or ...... This is the day when adults go out of the mountain. ”

At this time last year, of course, a little later, they were sent to serve beside Zhu Yuan, plus all the things that followed, Freehand was a smart girl, and if you pushed back a little, you can guess an approximate.

As for......

Deeper, where did the adults come from, freehand knows, this is not something you can ask, because, if you ask, there is a high probability that there will be no answer.

When Zhu Yuan heard this, he smiled and nodded: "Probably...... At last. ”

'Rebirth' is equivalent to 'going out of the mountain'.

It doesn't seem wrong.

After saying this, Freehand hesitated a little, but still said: "Adult, the slave always feels ...... You, you are still the Ming media is marrying a house, a few slaves, always ...... Always on the table. ”

Zhu Yuan couldn't hear this kind of words at this time, staring at the eyes of Nizi beside him, and a certain hand still grabbed the key point: "Tell me? ”

Freehand shrunk his neck, paused, and then said: "Fake ......" said but still said: "...... The slave is selfish, but he thinks that he can't make adults undignified because of his selfishness, and he still has to say what he should say. ”

Zhu Yuan pinched it a little punitively, listened to Nizi's coquettish voice, and said, "I said it at the beginning, it's not for you, it's just that I want to be free." As for you, as a concubine, you should be obedient, whatever I say, it's what it is. ”

Freehand blinked, and after a while, he unexpectedly insisted: "My lord, isn't the slave Sister Qingniang, ...... in the future?" If an adult has done something inappropriate, the slave should still say it. Although, adults probably won't do anything wrong, slaves can't forget their duty. ”

"Uh-huh......"

Freehand suddenly shrunk his neck again, and suddenly remembered, a little more confident: "This, this is also the mother's explanation." ”

Zhu Yuan looked at the anxious appearance of Nizi beside him up close, suddenly smiled, leaned over and kissed it, didn't say anything more, sat up and said, "Get up." ”

Freehand followed, called, the curtain was opened, and the two girls who were still dressed in red began to serve with red faces.

After Zhu Yuan got dressed, Xi Jiangyue, who had not left last night, carefully held a pair of Bai Juan over, glanced at the little red on Bai Juan, and her freehand face was covered with crimson again, and she still held it in person and showed it to her own adults, and then put it into the mahogany box held by Man Tingfang on the other side as a treasure.

Zhu Yuan has never had certain complexes, and when he encountered this in his previous life, he even felt very troublesome. However, I also know that the girl in this era attaches great importance to this, and when she saw the appearance that Freehand deliberately showed to herself, she cooperated and showed a satisfied expression.

At breakfast, Freehand finally stood by his side again.

On the other side is white space.

Seeing that Xiao Nizi was looking forward to being twisted and pinched, obviously asking her own adults to give another word, Zhu Yuan deliberately hung until the end of breakfast, and then opened her mouth again to confirm that a certain Nizi could start preparing her wedding dress.

I don't forget to emphasize it again.

I haven't forgotten it.

Next month, the third day of the new year.

When the time comes, it will be a new year, the second year of Hongwu.

After the third day of the lunar month, the busy days are still busy.

The first is the second issue of "Daming Monthly", which was officially engraved after Lao Zhu personally reviewed it.

This time it is still a summary of the first year of Hongwu that is about to pass, but it also focuses on a series of recent events.

For example, the determination of the 10th part of the Chinese book includes a series of personnel appointments.

For example, successive Jinling University, National University, Jinling Military University, Jinling Medical University and Jinling University of Technology have been established, and at the same time, after summarizing the approximate data of this year's imperial examination, the imperial court has also officially announced that in the same period next year, the imperial examination will be held again.

For example, the first 'three-year plan', although the details of the plan are still being considered, this time some of the projects have been officially announced to the public.

In addition to these national events, many people pay attention to it, the second part of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the second part of the "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" section are also coming as scheduled.

From the second time, because of Zhu Yuan's limited memory, "Dream of Red Mansions" gradually began to deviate more from the past, which can be regarded as the independent play of the girls around him.

As for the second part of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", Zhu Yuan chose another very famous "Painted Skin" after thinking about it.

However, I don't remember much about the story of the original version, and I still took more movie versions.

Zhu Yuan also gave an intersperse, replacing the former ghost hunter Taoist priest with 'Yan Chixia', which is a special cameo, probably planning to use this 'Li Xiaoyao's senior brother as a resident role.

And so on until the ninth day of the lunar month.

Another important flying pigeon biography in Shuzhong arrived in Jinling.

Following the opening of the Micang Road on the twenty-ninth day of the winter month, Chang Yuchun led the army to drive straight in, and Chen soldiers were under the city of Chongqing on the eighth day of the lunar month. Seeing that he was invincible, the monarchs and ministers of Xia finally chose to surrender, and another short-lived division of Shuzhong in Chinese history was declared extinct.
