Chapter 46: Let's Take You to Fortune
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this side was calm, and he was also relieved, as for Li Wei's poem, he didn't have to guess to know that it was copied by someone in later generations.
After participating in this unpleasant banquet, Li Wei returned home very late.
In the next few days, it is time for human relations, Li Wei has few acquaintances in this Ming Dynasty, and he is not ready to give New Year's greetings to anyone or anything, but others have come to him to pay New Year's greetings, such as Fang Jianbao of the War Bureau, Song Zhong and Wu Yong, Wu Bozong and others in the cabinet, Xue Xiang also sent people to send a post.
Sending a greeting post in Daming is basically equivalent to a group message in later generations, but Xue Xiang is a lot older, Li Wei doesn't give people New Year's greetings, and it is already very face-saving for people to send a greeting post.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao's microsuit out of the palace.
Since driving Meng Yuan away, Zhu Yuanzhang has been working hard to restore Chinese customs, such as the Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, which is one of the things he vigorously promotes.
The ministers all knew that the emperor liked this, so they naturally showed their magical powers, and pasted all kinds of dragons and phoenixes dancing and literary couplets on the door of their homes.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is taking Zhu Biao around each house to see whose couplets are good, so he stopped commenting.
Zhu Biao listened to his father's comments on the couplets of various families with a low level of education, and glanced back at the few craftsmen who followed him from time to time.
"Father, what are we doing here?" Zhu Biao asked.
"We'll take you to get rich later, and you'll know when we arrive."
Zhu Yuanzhang said mysteriously, Zhu Biao was confused.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang came today to go to Li Wei's house to grab the secret recipe of soap, and the people he sent to keep an eye on Li Wei's house still haven't figured out the complete production method of this soap, he can't wait, and decided to turn the dark into the light!
Turning around, the two came to the door of Li Wei's house.
Li Wei also took the time to write a couplet and pasted it, he also liked this custom very much, when he was a child, he couldn't afford to buy a couplet and wrote it himself, but his brush was not very good, and he could barely read it at the beginning, and then he worked, and he used a computer and mobile phone all day long, and he couldn't write a few words a year, and it was even more ugly to write with a brush.
"Great fortune, great fortune and great auspiciousness, new year, new joy and new century."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the door and read it, and then snorted coldly and criticized:
"Cheesy! I know blessing and wealth all day long, and the whole thing is a wealth fan! And this word, ugly to death. ”
“???”
Zhu Biao was stunned, he seemed to have heard his father say that he was going to take him to make a fortune.
"Go, knock."
Zhu Yuanzhang commanded a disguised guard behind him.
The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a few moments, the door opened from the inside, and Rifle poked his head out.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, we are your colleagues in Master Li, we are here to pay a visit, you can go and report it."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not reveal his identity.
"Okay, I don't know what to call an adult?"
"You don't have to worry about it, go and tell Li Wei to let him come out, and you will know naturally."
Laifu glanced at him and felt that he had an extraordinary temperament, and the people behind him were not ordinary. Laifu didn't dare to slack off, said wait a minute, and went to report Li Wei.
Li Wei was on vacation at home at this time, and according to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the holiday was the day of Chaohe, and it was just one day, and the annual meeting had to be held! Of course Li Wei didn't do it.
So he had the right to "time freedom" and gave himself seven days of annual leave according to his own ideas, and he didn't go anywhere.
Hearing Laifu's report, Li Wei's instinct was a sudden burst in his heart, to be honest, he put himself for these seven days of leave and was still a little weak-hearted, although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to ignore him, but the final interpretation of this "time freedom" is still with Zhu Yuanzhang, if he is in a bad mood, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat if he is lazy.
Laifu said that the "colleague" outside the door did not want to be named, and Li Wei felt that it was very likely that Zhu Yuanzhang was here when he heard it.
followed Laifu to the door to take a look, and sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest son were there.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Li Wei waved his hands as a salute.
Hearing Li Wei call His Majesty, Laifu was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted Long live.
"Hehe, no need to be polite, let's just come over and take a look, how about it, the house we arranged for you is okay, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with an easy-going smile, and did not ask Li Wei for his behavior.
"It's good, Your Majesty Xie cares."
"Why, don't you want us to come in and sit down?"
"Your Majesty, please come in."
Li Wei was silent for a while before he said, he always felt that this old Zhu's attitude was a little strange, and it was just a matter of not blaming him for skipping work, and he was still smiling like this, it was not normal!
Zhu Yuanzhang happily entered the courtyard, and a group of people followed in, first Zhu Biao and those guards, Li Wei didn't care, but then there were a few people, which made him feel a little familiar, is it a craftsman?
Li Wei suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to the kitchen when he entered the courtyard, and pointed to the Xiaoqing people who were busy in it as he walked, and asked, "Li Aiqing, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Wei's face changed, and he hurriedly entered the kitchen first: "Stop what you are doing and come to see the emperor!" ”
first asked Xiaoqing and the others to stop what they were doing, and then calmly blocked the door and said, "It's nothing, just make some gadgets." ”
"Oh, what a gadget, take us over and see it!"
Li Wei's eyelids jumped, he seemed to have guessed what Lao Zhu was doing today.
Although Li Wei gave himself a holiday in the past two days, Xiaoqing and others were not willing to be idle, there were few of them, and the soap they made was not enough to sell every day, so they were naturally unwilling to stop and rest without making money, which made Zhu Yuanzhang hit the head.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Li Wei slowly let go of the door.
Xiaoqing and the others had already heard that the emperor was coming, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered, these people hurriedly saluted.
"Today, we are on patrol in micro-service, so we don't have to be polite."
Because what he was going to do next was not very glorious, Zhu Yuanzhang also put down his shelf at this time, and he was very kind.
Zhu Biao and others also followed.
"Li Aiqing, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the soap that was being formed in the mold and asked knowingly.
"Oh, I'm making a kind of soap for washing clothes, it's just some tricks, it's not worth mentioning, Your Majesty, you shouldn't look down on it, right?"
Li Wei said with hope in his eyes, at this moment he is full of hope that Zhu Yuanzhang is a good emperor with golden mouths, and he will resolutely not ask for it again if he says no!
"Of course we don't like it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly, then looked back, and suddenly pulled Zhu Biao behind him.
"But Biao'er is very interested in these little things, you can tell us how this thing is made!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also winked at Hao'er.
Zhu Biao: "??? ”
Li Wei's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, can you carry me on your back when you blink?" ”
"Uh, our eyes are uncomfortable."
Zhu Yuanzhang prevaricated, and then continued to urge Li Wei to speak.
