Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

"He's right."

So they took Zhu Xiongying and entered the thatched shed together.

Both groups untied the horses from the front of the carriage and hid together in the straw shed.

As for the two carriages...

Then put it in the rain and let the rain blow and the wind blow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky and saw that the rain couldn't stop for a while, so he turned around and looked at the old man who gave up his seat, and said with a smile:

"Thank you for giving up half of the thatched hut. If it weren't for this, the few men we brought with us would all be wet."

The old man laughed, waved his hands and said:

"Such a trivial matter, why worry about it?"

"Your Excellency is imposing and imposing, with an extraordinary bearing, you can't tell if you are a mortal at first glance."

"Under Song Ke, may I know your honorable name?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he heard this person's self-introduction:

"Oh? It's Mr. Song Zhongwen?"

"My surname is Zhu. My husband calls me Old Zhu. This is my grandson Zhu Xiongying..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder and said:

"Xiongying, hurry up and call sir."

This surprised Zhu Xiongying a bit.

Song Ke?

Masters of calligraphy in the early Ming Dynasty?

To be able to meet him here... What a coincidence!

Zhu Xiongying remembered that he had heard of this person before he crossed over.

Song Ke, courtesy name Zhongwen, was named Nangongsheng.

Both regular script and cursive script are famous all over the world.

The most unique thing is his handwriting.

Seiko Zhangcao is the first in the world!

Although Zhu Xiongying did not study calligraphy deeply.

But his father before time travel was very good at calligraphy, and the study room at home is full of rubbings by everyone from all walks of life.

Among them, there is Song Ke's masterpiece.

and so.

Zhu Xiongying immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to ask him to say hello.

He opened his mouth and said:

"This junior has met Mr. Nangong."

Song Ke couldn't help laughing at Zhu Xiongying's words, and praised:

"I didn't expect you to know the name of the old man. You are so knowledgeable, my child, that you are not an ordinary person."

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said politely:

"Mr. Jiuwen's reputation, we originally planned to visit you when we had time...Unfortunately, Mr.'s whereabouts are uncertain. Since resigning from office in Fengxiang, Shaanxi many years ago, there has been no news."

This is the truth of Lao Zhu.

For Song Ke, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a good impression.

This master calligrapher is righteous and well-equipped with both civil and military skills. He did a lot of chivalrous deeds at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, when Zhang Shicheng occupied the Suzhou area, he admired his name and wanted to recruit him as a guest, but Song Ke also refused.

Calligraphy is the best in the world, capable of writing and martial arts, he is a chivalrous hero, and he is not afraid of power.

How could Lao Zhu not like such a person?

pity.

Zhu Yuanzhang once made a special decree to ask the people below to find a better official position and invite Song Ke to take up the post.

However, due to the busy state affairs, Lao Zhu made an order and forgot about it.

The people below thought that the emperor didn't pay much attention to this matter, so they casually found Song Ke a small official from the Tongzhi of Fengxiang Mansion in Shaanxi.

Song Ke didn't care.

He felt admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was able to drive out the Tartars and rebuild China, so he happily went there and became a small official.

A few years ago.

Song Ke felt that his health was failing, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.

His boss didn't want to keep him, because even if it was just a small official position, he could reap a lot of benefits.

If he doesn't want to do it, naturally there are many people who are willing to do it.

and so.

After resigning from office, Song Ke traveled all the way, and returned to his hometown, Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture after many years.

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Ke had chatted for a long time, and Song Ke asked:

"Is there anywhere for Mr. Zhu to go in Suzhou?"

"If you don't mind, you can come to the humble house as a guest."

"Although my yard is not big, it should be able to accommodate everyone."

Seeing that Song Ke was extremely hospitable, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed:

"In that case, let's bother."

The two teams formed a team and walked towards Song Ke's mansion in a mighty manner.

Song House.

The Song family is a well-known wealthy family in the local area. Song Ke inherited the family business and also owns many fields and real estate in Suzhou.

It can be said that even if he is not an official, Song Ke can still live comfortably.

At the door, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying looked around.

It was found that the courtyard wall of the Song Mansion was almost endless at a glance.

At first glance, it is the scale that only the rich family has.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"This is still called a humble house. Mr. Zhong Wen is too self-effacing."

Song Ke laughed and said:

"Where are there, there are more rich families in Suzhou Prefecture, and my family is nothing more than that."

"Back when Shen Wansan was still there, the mansion was bigger than ten yards of my house combined."

As soon as Shen Wansan was mentioned, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking.

Zhu Xiongying at the side was interested.

Shen Wansan in history seems to have been sent to Yunnan by Zhu Yuanzhang to serve as an army in the end, and his fate was more miserable.

Some people also said that Shen Wansan was directly executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he never got the chance to be sent to the army.

The whereabouts of the Shen family's huge property was also unknown after Shen Wansan was disposed of.

So where did this wealth go?

Was it really confiscated by Lao Zhu to fill the treasury?

Doubts gradually arose in Zhu Xiongying's mind.

of course.

It is impossible to ask this question outside, it can only be asked when the grandfather and grandson are alone in the room.

Song Ke led everyone to a small courtyard on the side, and said:

"This is the yard specially reserved for our guests to live in. There are all kinds of utensils in it. You are welcome. If you need anything, just tell my housekeeper or servants directly, as if you are at your own home."

Song Ke was so enthusiastic, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you very much."

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhongwen's calligraphy is the best in the world. I don't know if we have the opportunity to make a masterpiece?"

Song Ke stroked his long beard with a smile and said:

"Of course, Mr. Song hit it off with Your Excellency. Since Your Excellency wants to see it, then Mr. Song will make a fool of yourself."

"Please also wish Mr. Zhu to move to the study."

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying, and the two followed Song Ke to the study.

Hu Wei, He Li and others, together with Mr. Zhong, stayed in the guest house and packed their luggage.

On the outskirts of Pingjiang City.

in a manor.

Xu Yi dismounted here with his followers, and handed the reins to the groom waiting at the door.

Immediately, the housekeeper in the manor stepped forward to greet him.

"Is everyone here?"
