Overnight.

Peiping was stained with a layer of hoarfrost.

The wind gradually subsided, and sparse snowflakes fell in the sky.

The people of the royal palace put up lanterns to prepare for the New Year.

"This snow is not coming at the right time." After getting up, Zhu Gaochi ignored the servant girl who was serving him, and looked at the snow on the wall and complained.

The steam engine factory, the fertilizer factory, the iron smelter, the coke refinery, the engineering team, the railway, the iron ore......

With this snow, work was either stopped or semi-stopped.

"I haven't been to greet Mother Ann for a few days." Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of it, patted his head, and forgot about it.

Hurriedly left the Shizi Mansion and went to the back bedroom.

Rear dormitory.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were playing in the snow at the snow resort, not afraid of the cold at all, followed by a group of small yellow doors that were shivering from the cold.

"Big brother."

"Big brother, come and play."

Zhu Gaosui held a snowball, trying to convince the eldest brother to join them, but Zhu Gaoxu's mouth was closed, but his eyes betrayed him.

"Play with it, watch out for frostbite."

Zhu Gaochi has long lost this fun, and in the process of growing up, he will continue to lose the happy things of his childhood.

"You take care of the second and third."

To the little yellow doors, Zhu Gaochi explained.

Just make it look like a big brother.

When the little yellow men heard this, they had a sneer on their faces, and no one dared to slack off.

"Father praised us."

Zhu Gaoxu shouted unconvinced to the back of the eldest brother leaving, and when he saw the eldest brother turn around, Zhu Gaosui nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

The battle of Jingjing is inseparable from Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaochi smiled, "Second brother has made progress." ”

"Father praises us for being a strong general in the future."

"The second brother was on the school ground, riding a horse-drawn bow and shooting arrows, and all ten arrows hit the target, and the father was very happy, and he also rewarded the second brother with a jade wrench."

The jade wrench finger was widely used in the Shang Dynasty, and in the Han Dynasty, as the number of stones in the bow increased, it could no longer withstand the force of drawing the bow.

By the Tang Dynasty, the ancestors did not use the jade wrench much.

The economy of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and some wrenches imitating the Han Dynasty appeared, which were in a variety of styles, and their functions were mainly a plaything commodity.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed the "archaeological system of ceremonial officials and Confucian ministers to smell", so he also wore a retro wrench, which mainly played a decorative role.

In the Qing Dynasty, the jade wrench became a symbol of status.

Zhu Gaochu took out the jade wrench in his purse, his face was full of showing off, and ran to Zhu Gaochi to hold it.

Zhu Gaochi picked up the jade wrench and deliberately waited for a while before returning it to Zhu Gaochu.

Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu was already smiling from ear to ear.

What's wrong with a teenager wanting approval?

"Second brother, practice your skills well, and follow your father to fight in the future, and go into battle with father and son, my father will definitely like it."

Zhu Gaochi thinks it's good.

The father led the troops to fight, and the second brother charged into battle, laying down a huge country and handing it over to himself to govern, what a perfect division of labor.

"Let's practice our skills." Zhu Gaoxu's face was serious.

Being able to get praise from my father and eldest brother shows that I am doing the right thing.

"Yes, ambitious."

The little yellow men on the side, seeing that the three brothers were harmonious, also showed smiling faces, happy and happy for the little masters.

The two brothers stopped playing, and happily followed behind the eldest brother and went back to the palace together.

"The eldest prince is here."

The grandmothers outside laughed.

"Ah, it's big brother."

The third sister, Zhu Yuegui, heard the sound outside, jumped up in surprise, and obediently changed into small steps and walked out under the sight of the princess.

When he saw his eldest brother, Zhu Yuegui complained.

"Big brother, you are dishonest with others."

"Next time, we'll go with you." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, knowing that the third sister was talking about traveling.

He took the lead and handed it over to Yuan Rong to organize later.

Traveling is a fun thing, and the children and ladies of all families are unwilling to be absent, and a rule has been formed, and there is no need for me to take time out to play with them.

"Didn't Yuan Rong treat you well?"

"He, he will only stare at the eldest sister, and the two of them will talk with their eyes." Zhu Yuegui whispered.

Jokes are jokes, but I don't dare to let my mother hear it.

Zhu Gaochi felt movement behind him, turned his head, and sure enough, there was a bulging eldest sister standing behind him, pointing at Zhu Yuegui and saying, "You can't say good things with this mouth, see if I will spare you today." ”

"Big brother, help."

Zhu Yuegui pulled Zhu Gaochi's clothes to avoid the eldest sister, and the two brothers Zhu Gaochu coaxed, and even the little sister ran out.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to stop the eldest sister, "For my sake, spare her this time." ”

"You will favor the second sister."

Zhu Yuying stomped her feet and walked inside.

Although he knew that the eldest sister was not really angry, Zhu Gaochi still followed and persuaded, "Let's talk about Yuan Rong when we go back, it's too unusual." ”

"You've learned badly, and you're angry with me."

Zhu Yuying rolled her eyes and ignored her eldest brother.

"Hee-hee."

"Big brother is good or bad."

Several brothers and sisters entered the inner room, and tacitly agreed not to talk about Yuan Rong anymore.

Princess Yan Xu sat on the couch, in front of which was a flower chair covered with black lacquer and scarlet cushions, and a well-dressed woman was standing.

There is also a young girl, wearing a long skirt of rattan and green trolling, wearing a mirror flower silk shawl, and her small face hangs short hair on her forehead, which looks more and more beautiful.

"This is your second aunt and cousin."

Serious relatives, Zhu Gaochi knows everything, since they don't know each other, they are either distant relatives or side relationships.

"Second Aunt Ann."

"Cousin Ann."

"Great Prince, Wanfu."

"Cousin Ann." The girl followed her mother, standing upright respectfully, with her hands in front of her clothes, bowing her knees slightly.

The glutinous voice sounds soft.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at the girl, and the girl lowered her head in fright, and could see that the roots of her ears were already red.

"You are his elder, not an outsider, just call him Brother Chi'er."

Princess Yan said with a smile.

The woman smiled in response, but did not dare to change her words.

Princess Yan was not reluctant, looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "You and your father are both busy people, and you can't see anyone all day, so you remember to come to me today." ”

"Mother laughs at us."

There were outsiders, and Zhu Gaochi stood in front of the collapse and did not sit down.

"Is my father out?"

"I took people out of the house early in the morning, and I didn't say where to go, you two fathers and sons." Princess Yan sighed.

Zhu Gaochi stopped talking when he heard this.

The boss didn't talk much since he was a child, and now he is even more taciturn, Xu knows the character of the eldest son, and takes the initiative to say.

"You're here, the guests are uneasy, say hello and go back."

"The mother began to dislike her son."

"Then you stay."

Princess Yan said simply.

Zhu Gaochi laughed as he walked, his footsteps did not stop, "I don't dare to disturb my mother and second aunt chatting about family life, and my son will come back next time." ”

When he got outside, Zhu Yuegui blocked the way.

"You'll leave before you come."

"What's the matter with the third sister? If you need us to buy something back, just let someone tell us that as long as there is something on the street, we can buy it back with you. ”

"Don't try to buy me."

was reluctant to let the eldest brother leave, Zhu Gaochi saw this, sat down on the stool in the outer room, and leaned against the table.

"Who's in the room?"

"I don't know."

Zhu Yuegui sat down beside the eldest brother confidently.

Zhu Gaochi ignored the third sister and turned his head to look at the eldest sister.

Zhu Yuying shook her head and said softly: "Recently, there have been many people coming to the house, and they are all relatives who have never seen each other. ”

"Big brother, drink tea."

The little sister personally brought the tea.

"Beware of the burns." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly took it, "Don't do these things next time, it's not good to get burned." ”

The little sister nodded vigorously.

Zhu Gaochi felt a little strange, where did he have so many relatives in the family, most of them were in Yingtianfu.

As for the father's side, that's even more impossible.

But these things are trivial, since you can't figure it out, then you don't want to.

Taking a sip of tea and putting down the teacup, Zhu Gaochi got up, "Let's go." ”

This time, Zhu Yuegui didn't stop again, just looked at the eldest brother with blank eyes, and the same was true for the little sister.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a while, and promised: "Next time we go on a trip, we will definitely participate." ”

When they heard this, they immediately rejoiced.

"Big brother has to count when he speaks." Zhu Gaoxu emphasized.

The two brothers went to play with their eldest sister once, and they haven't fallen off ever since.

"Hmm."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and left.

Leaving the palace, on the street, the shops of each family swept the snow in front of their houses, and the servants of the government swept the snow on some of the streets that no one cared about.

The snow road was slippery, Zhu Gaochi did not ride a horse, and chose to travel by carriage.

Something is about to happen in history.

For example, Sapphire will die.

Father, their various speculations and analysis of affairs, Zhu Gaochi felt that what should be revealed was still to be revealed.

Yao Guangxiao is a good person.

Keesu Temple.

There are quite a few pilgrims in the temple.

Those who seek peace, wealth, marriage, children, future, and the Buddha statue can manage anything.

The little novice led the nobleman into the backyard in front.

Yao Guangxiao personally greeted him at the door.

"Master, long time no see."

"The little prince can wait to come to the small temple and make the small temple shine." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and had a very good attitude.

The people in the house are called the eldest son, because Zhu Gaochi is not the prince yet, and there are two sons and three sons, so they can't be called indiscriminately.

The relevant people outside did not have this scruples, and knew that the prince had already identified the eldest son, so he called the little prince in advance.

It's also a sign of attitude.

"Eldest Prince, please." Yao Guangxiao stepped aside.

"Master first, please."

Yao Guangxiao's intelligence and prediction of people's hearts are undoubtedly among the world's first-class people, and Zhu Gaochi will not underestimate him.

And Zhu Di's rebellion can be said to have hesitated for a long time.

This person's encouragement at least played a lot of roles and strengthened Zhu Di's confidence.

Confidence.

Sometimes it's important, just as much as morale.

is Zhu Di's strategist, and Zhu Gaochi will not slack off.

Yao Guangxiao was very happy that the eldest prince treated him with courtesy, and the recognition of himself by two generations, and his status in the Yanwang Mansion was unshakable.

"Regarding the matter of Yanshan's left guard, I don't know if the master can give me some advice."

After taking a seat in the monk's room, Zhu Gaochi asked.

Although the project was stopped, the manpower should be prepared in advance, and the construction would start after the beginning of spring.

Put the left guard in your hands in advance, don't delay it for a few years like in history, so that the left guard did not play its due role in the battle of Jingjing.

Zhu Di and they are not in a hurry, because they don't know history, and they don't know that they will be cut down and asked for their lives in a few years.
