Bright Spring

The little eunuch lowered his head, "Big sister is right. My adoptive father's parents in the capital were more than nine years old. They grew their hair and returned to vulgarity. They even went to a private school to study and read. But at the beginning of the fourth year of Jianwen, the adoptive father's family suddenly disappeared, and the house was destroyed." Sold to someone else! I was kicked out of my home, penniless, and I didn’t even bring any clothes.

I remember that it was the first month of the first month, just after the new year.It was also snowing like this year, and I was cold and hungry on the street, and I was about to freeze to death.At this time, my godfather was passing by that street, saw me, and after looking at me for a while, asked me if I wanted to wear warm clothes, eat big meat and live in a big house. Of course, I nodded quickly and followed my godfather for fear that he would regret it.

Later, my godfather told me that there is no such thing as eating and drinking for free in this world. If you want to eat and wear clothes, you must first purify your body and get rid of the root of sin.I agreed at that time... So I became a eunuch. At first, the pain was so painful that I had a goose feather stuck there. I didn't even have to drink water for several days, and I couldn't get out of bed for half a month.But it’s too late to regret…”

When Miao Jin heard this, her face turned pale and she couldn't say a word.In this world, the trees are falling and the monkeys are scattered. Is it really worth the great cause of giving one's life for it?

She thought of her late father again, and ended up as Emperor Yong Le's loyal minister... She blushed for a while and wanted to sigh, but she didn't know what to sigh.

Miao Jinwei looked outside the crack of the door, and the silent snowflakes froze for a while.Behind the curtain of that era, no matter how much hustle and bustle there is, there is always endless desolation behind it.

"Big sister." The little eunuch's voice woke Miao Jin up.

The little eunuch took out a plate of vegetarian dishes and a night of rice from the food box, and said, "I begged my godfather for this errand, just to see my eldest sister. I heard that my eldest sister is a vegetarian all day long, but vegetarians are easy to get greedy." , I secretly hid an egg under the rice... Taoist priests are not monks, can they eat meat?"

Miaojin looked at the rice in front of her, her nose sore, and she almost didn't cry.Looking at Zhang Yan's death from a certain angle, his death protected Miao Jin, so Miao Jin now has mixed feelings when facing Zhang Yan's son.

Her voice was a little strange, "I didn't take good care of you..."

The little eunuch said: "Eldest sister has always been very kind to me. I have become an eunuch, so I have nothing to do with elder sister. There is nothing wrong now."

Miao Jin secretly wiped away her tears, and said with a forced smile: "It's good if you can think about it. Thank you for the eggs. I told people that the master is Zhang Sanfeng from the Quanzhen sect. He was originally forbidden to eat meat, let alone in Taoist temples... But today we don’t care about those rules.”

The little eunuch said: "I don't really understand those rules, and I didn't do good things with good intentions."

Miao Jin shook her head and asked, "What's your godfather's name?"

The little eunuch replied: "Godfather is called Wang Gou'er. It didn't seem to be called this name at first, but it was changed later. I don't have my surname Zhang anymore, so as not to humiliate the Zhang family. Godfather asked me to follow the surname Wang, and I took a name. My son is Wang Yin."

Miao Jin whispered again: "Then from now on, you will only remember yourself, Wang Yin, and never mention Zhang's family members again, understand?"

The little eunuch Wang Yin nodded vigorously and said: "I understand! Big sister will ask someone to tell me what she wants to eat in the future. Godfather is working in the imperial kitchen, so he can get all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas!"

"You just know how to eat." Miao Jin scolded him with complicated emotions.

Wang Yin was scolded so much that he laughed "hehe".

Miao Jin said kindly again: "Then you can eat better with your godfather, you are growing up at this age."

Wang Yin raised his head to see Miao Jin, he nodded vigorously again, and said, "Oh, big sister, I have to go first." After saying that, he turned around, opened the door and ran out.

Miao Jin walked to the door, stared at the little figure, and was dazed for a long time.

For some reason, when she thought of Zhu Gaoxu's concubine giving birth to a son, she felt a little sour.But thinking that Guo Wei is a nice person, Miao Jin felt that he should be happy for her.

What's more, what reason and name does she have to feel sad?Click on Baidu to read the latest chapter of "Daming Chunse Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.

Chapter 287

On the territory of the chief envoy of Yunnan Province, only the mountains can snow, and there is only rain under the mountains.Even in the dry season in the southwest mountain forest area, it often rains.

It was raining in the sky above Yongchangfu City.Under the eaves on both sides of the main street in the city, people of all ethnic groups stood to hide from the rain and watch the excitement. There were also many officials and people wearing bamboo hats and umbrellas in the rainy field.

Groups of soldiers were passing by in formation at the gate of the city, the sound of neatly running footsteps continued, and the muddy water was trampled everywhere.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu, who was wearing armor, got out of a carriage, and immediately a soldier opened an umbrella to cover his head.Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways slightly, and Zhao Ping beside him said in a deep voice: "Take the umbrella away."

Many local civil and military officials greeted Zhu Gaoxu and congratulated the King of Han noisily on his great victory.But Zhu Gaoxu ignored them, because many horse-drawn carriages and mule carts with white flags and coffins came in from the gate of the city at this time.

There are two columns of words written on the white cloth in front of the convoy. On the left is "Loyal Soul of the Ming Dynasty" and on the right is "Heroes of the Dynasty".

Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and bowed to the convoy, and the soldiers around him, as well as many officials who came to greet him, also bowed down following the vassal king.Countless people stood in the rain.

The convoy passed the city gate slowly, and Zhu Gaoxu stood in the rain for a long time, motionless.The rain quickly drenched his whole body, and the accumulated water on the helmet continuously dripped down along the wide-brimmed iron helmet and flowed over his face, making him feel itchy, but he held back and did not move.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu saw Diao Ya, a native translator not far from the side, who was crying and wiping away her tears.No one cared about Diao Ya, after all, there was nothing wrong with her crying in the face of the coffin, as long as she didn't smile.

These soldiers of the Ming army who died in battle were for the benefit of the emerald trade of Zhu Jiafan, the big landlord and wealthy Shen family; Zhu Gaoxu bowed down to salute the corpses of the fallen soldiers, gave them courteous treatment, and comforted their families.

However, this war had little to do with the natives, and it didn't even bring much benefit to the Han people.What is there for a native girl to cry when facing the coffins of Ming army soldiers?

The casualties of the native soldiers and civilians in this battle were more than ten times that of the Ming army. There were countless people whose homes were destroyed and their villages destroyed due to the raging fire.

Zhu Gaoxu thought: Maybe many people are easily influenced by the atmosphere?It is difficult for them to see clearly behind the solemn etiquette, the cruel fight and stand for profit.

... The army entered the city and stationed there for two or three days, and the rain did not stop.In the spring season of the first lunar month in the mountains of Yunnan, sometimes it rains and there is no fun.

Zhu Gaoxu stood under the eaves of the courtyard where the Xingyuan was requisitioned, looking up at the rain in the sky for a long time.

"In this season, what falls in the capital may not be rain, but snow." Zhu Gaoxu sighed casually.The weather in this era is colder than in later generations, and it snows in some places south of the river.

Whenever the weather is slightly colder, he always thinks of Miaojin, perhaps because he met her several times when it was cold.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his palm, which was roughened by the handle of the weapon, to catch the rainwater flowing from between the tiles, feeling its meaningless coldness.His hand stopped there for a long time, and he was in a daze.

A subtle depression and helplessness, with a faint expression of sorrow for the spring and autumn, shrouded his face.

But after a while, his eyes froze, and he took a long breath.At this time, he vigorously shook off the water on his hands, took out a handkerchief and wiped it a few times.

While wiping his hands, Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "I seem to remember a poem about a magical woman in ancient times who can turn into rain and fog?"

Zhao Ping, who was beside him, clasped his fists and said, "What the lord is talking about is Song Yu's? There is a sentence in it: The concubine is in the sun of Wushan, blocked by high hills, morning clouds at dawn, and rain at dusk. Day and night, under the balcony."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu praised: "There is quite a bit of ink in Zhao Baihu's belly."

Zhao Pingdao: "Returning to the prince, the last general was a child student before, and he has read a lot, but his talents are only mediocre."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and said: "You are wronged by only being a hundred households, and I will do everything for you when I go back to Kunming City."

After hearing this, Zhao Ping immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists gratefully and said, "The general thank you for your kindness in cultivating the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: "You have made meritorious service, you should. Get up."

When Zhao Ping captured Sixingfa, the victory of the Great War had already been decided; Zhao Ping actually didn't play a big role in the whole battle, and he was suspected of drilling camps. Zhu Gaoxu was not so satisfied with this matter.

But at the beginning Zhao Ping was willing to go to the Mengyangsi mine, that barren land, and dared to risk all kinds of risks to forge ahead.This is the real reason why Zhu Gaoxu promoted Zhao Ping... It's a pity that the first time Zhao Ping went to Meng Yangsi, he was defeated and captured, and lost the city and land.It is obviously not convincing, and it is not in line with military law.On the contrary, it is the matter of capturing the method of thinking and action, which is a great achievement that can be said.

So Zhu Gaoxu didn't say clearly what merit Zhao Ping had done.

...There is a lot of rain in the south. As long as you go out of the city at this time, the roads are mostly dirt roads, and it is inevitable that they will be muddy everywhere.The ancient saying "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, and it takes half a day to go out" is quite reasonable.If you are a person who lives in the city, it is better to stay at home on rainy days, at least many roads in the city are paved with stone slabs and bricks.

There was a light rain in Yongchang Mansion, and it didn't stop for several days, making the road difficult.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait any longer, and decided to go first with his bodyguard cavalry, leaving a few generals to lead the army, and wait for the rain to stop before setting off.

A group of people rode lightly on horses and trekked from Yongchang Mansion to Dali City, Chuxiong City, and Kunming City. It was almost February when they arrived at Dali Mansion City.

The cavalry rushed to the Duanli Gate of King Han's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care to take off his armor covered in dirt and dust, but just took the helmet, and immediately rode to the Chengyun Gate and headed for the harem.
