Chapter 485: The Lord of the Villa
Mingyue Villa covers an extremely wide area, the pavilions and pavilions inside are scattered, the flowers, grasses, insects and birds are full of vitality, because there are very few servants in the village, and there are no diners, so it is relatively quiet on weekdays, it is a rare garden mansion in Tianjin City, a good place for health.

On this day, it was past noon, and a slave hurriedly walked to an octagonal pavilion, and stood ten meters away from the pavilion, looking at the top floor of the octagonal pavilion, where there was an old man with a long beard and a white chest fluttering and a bit of fairy wind and bones painting.
After a long time, the old man finally finished the last stroke, silently looked at the landscape map he had just drawn, nodded and said, "Is it the ancient style?"
The middle-aged slave who had been standing below immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, master." "That person is Gu Feng, who was met by Ji Li at Yumen Pass a few months ago, and brought back to the villa to become a subordinate.
"Is there something wrong?" the old man asked softly, this person was Ji Xun, the owner of Mingyue Villa.
"The young master has just returned!" Gu Feng replied with a bow.
"Oh......" Ji Xun took down the painting he had just painted, rubbed it in his hand, and the painting had turned into countless tiny pieces in a blink of an eye, twisted into a ball and thrown into the paper basket next to him, "Tell him to go to my study!"
"Yes!" Gu Feng retreated, and went straight to Ji Li's bedroom, but on the way, he ran into Ji Li about to go out, scared into a cold sweat, if he came a little later, Ji Li was afraid that he would be gone away again!
"Young master, the master told you to go to his study!" Gu Feng hurriedly shouted.
Tianjin, with a long history, called Zhigu Village in the Southern Song Dynasty, is the earliest name of Tianjin, to the Yuan Dynasty, Zhigu Village became the transshipment center of grain transportation, was renamed Haijin Town, and set up the Dazhigu Salt Transportation Division, to manage the production and marketing of salt, to the Ming Dynasty, Haijin Town was renamed Tianjin, and gradually developed into the military base of the Ming Dynasty. The name of 'Haijin Town' was changed to 'Tianjin', which contains a piece of history.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, died in the West Palace of Nanjing, and Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the second son of the crown prince Zhu Biao, ascended the throne and changed the name of Jianwen. After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he advocated the Confucian theory of benevolent government, changed Zhu Yuanzhang's strict administration and harsh punishment, turned the people into benevolent government, changed the laws and regulations, vigorously corrected the unjust and wrong cases during the Hongwu period, exempted the arrears of rent and taxes in various places, provided disaster relief to the people, ordered the government to redeem the people who sold their sons as slaves, limited the number of land occupied by monks and Taoists, and distributed the remaining land equally to the common people.
However, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang's power gradually expanded, and one by one he coveted imperial power and threatened the rule of the central court. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in the name of 'Qing Jun's side', crossed the Grand Canal south from Haijin Town, the center of Caoyun, in the second year of Jianwen, and entered the Beijing division to seize the throne, which is known as the 'Battle of Jingyan' in history.
In order to commemorate the 'Battle of Jingyan', Yongle Emperor Zhu Di changed the name of Haijin Town to Tianjin on November 21, 14o4 of the Gregorian calendar, November 21, the second year of Yongle, and December 23, 14o4 of the Gregorian calendar. As a military important place, in the small Zhigu area southwest of the Sancha River estuary, Tianjin began to build a city and set up a guard, called Tianjin Wei, and since then Tianjin has begun to unfold.
In the third year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu of Daizong rewarded Ji Xun for his meritorious service in welcoming back the emperor, rewarded a manor, and gave the name 'Mingyue Villa'. The location of Mingyue Villa is exactly in Tianjin, and it is very close to the official envoy's office, which shows that although Zhu Qiyu rewarded Ji Xun on the surface, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
It is rumored that Ji Xun is surprisingly high in martial arts, which is why he can enter and exit the army of tile spurs three times as if he were in a no-man's land, fortunately, although Ji Xun has superb martial arts, he is also modest, and he does not leave home on weekdays, so that those factory guards can save a lot of worry.
Ji Li, who was dressed in dark purple clothes and carrying a long knife on his back, his face changed, his mouth pursed, and he grinned and scolded: "You won't wait for me to go out?" That being said, Ji Li didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly went to Ji Xun's study.
Gu Feng in the back did not have the slightest depression of being scolded, but had a hint of schadenfreude on his face, through a few months of contact, he knew more or less Ji Li's temper, he was uninhibited, don't look at the scolding just now, in fact, it was just to scare and scare him. However, although Ji Li is not afraid of heaven and earth, he does not dare to disobey the owner Ji Xun in the slightest.
Ji Li carried a long knife through the hall on his back, and the knife on his back was wrapped in a cloth bag, and the scabbard was invisible, but judging from the handle of the knife that looked like a crouching tiger with a black glow all over his body, this knife must be extraordinary, and leaning on Ji Li's back, the cloth bag was stretched tightly, and it looked extremely heavy. But even so, Ji Li's footsteps were inaudible, and when he came to a certain study, he was careful not to make a sound, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but heard a voice from inside: "Come in!"
Ji Li pursed his lips, his mouth opened, although he didn't make a sound, but judging from the shape of his mouth, it was the words 'come in'. Just before Ji Li gently pushed the door open and walked into the study, the cynical expression on his face was gone, replaced by a rather cautious and respectful appearance, which was like two people.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Ji Li said.
"Hmm!Sit down!" Ji Xun was sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"Ah......" Ji Li didn't react for a while, right, he asked me to sit? In Ji Li's impression, this is absolutely impossible to give birth, but it just happened.
"What's wrong?" asked Ji Xun.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing!" Ji Li immediately sat on a chair and followed Ji Xun's words in everything, even if he suffered a loss, he would not suffer a loss in front of him, this is the experience that Ji Li has summed up over the years.
"What are you doing outside during this time?" Ji Xun asked unhurriedly.
Ji Li's mind turned sharply, it seemed that this time he definitely didn't just ask casually, but he had to answer well: "These days, the child is still the same as before, walking around the rivers and lakes, and occasionally visiting some famous and decent families. ”
"Of course, it's okay to visit some fellow people in the rivers and lakes, but don't always visit those fireworks places, as the saying goes, gentle township, hero mound, you remember it for me!" Ji Xun spoke unhurriedly, revealing a majesty.
"Yes!" The corners of Ji Li's mouth twitched, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father!
"What's the situation in the rivers and lakes lately?" Ji Xun continued.
"The rivers and lakes are still very chaotic! I heard that the Hundred Poison Gate has been making a lot of trouble in Jiangnan recently, and it seems that there is a tendency to affect the Central Plains, and the Lihate Palace has also become quite active!" At the mention of the rivers and lakes, Ji Li's eyes lit up slightly.
"The rivers and lakes are getting more and more chaotic, you go to the Central Plains, be careful!" Ji Xun sighed.
"Yes!" the Li family responded, but then was stunned, "What, go to the Central Plains?"
"Don't you want to go?" (To be continued.) )
