Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Old Man Zhang was a minor official after all. After his daughter was chosen, he went to his superiors to find out more about the situation.

The royal prince's first wife and the prince's first wife must be chosen from ordinary people's families. A first wife with no background can be completely controlled by the royal family in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics in the future.

However, there is no such restriction for the Crown Prince's concubine and the Prince's concubine, and many people select their daughters to be the Crown Prince or the Prince himself.

This is simply putting your daughter on the fire.

What if Zhu Gaochi married another noble lady as his concubine, with a huge dowry and a strong background? How would Zhang Xin cope with it?

After thinking it over, Old Man Zhang still felt uneasy if he didn't give a dowry.

Since the Zhang family’s background is not good, they cannot let Zhang Xin become the Crown Prince’s consort nakedly.

If the other party doesn't want it, our family can't just shamelessly refuse to give it to them. Besides, this is the foundation of a married woman's life.

Not only does this dowry have to be given, but it also has to be thick and solid, so that people won't look down on Zhang Xin as the Crown Prince's Consort.

But Zhang Xin wanted to be the Crown Prince's Consort, and she was among the royal family members, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and Zhang Xin could not touch any of them.

Old Man Zhang and the people in the Zhang family also thought about it for a long time.

The Ming Dynasty was established for only twenty years, and it was in chaos for such a long time.

Be it the palace or the prince, if things change, who knows what the future will be like. The girl from the Zhang family must have something in her own hands.

In case of unexpected events, it is always better to have something than nothing.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Xin will be the glory of the Zhang family.

The servants in wealthy families always look down on others, so it is easier for Zhang Xin to manage them since she has money in her hands.

Finally, everyone agreed to follow the common practice and privately prepare a dowry for Zhang Xin that would not be registered or named.

So Zhao was sent by her father to her second uncle's house, and then to Yan, where she and her husband helped Zhang Xin manage the land and shops that the Zhang family had given with the efforts of the entire clan.

This matter was done quietly. There were people watching the house at that time. To be on the safe side, Zhang Xin did not explain the whole story to Zhao.

After entering Prince Yan's Mansion, she did not act rashly.

It was not until she explained the matter clearly to Zhu Gaochi that Zhao was informed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xin walked to the bookshelf and took out a storybook he had brought with him. He drew a circle behind the word "Zhao" written on the first page.

The matter of the wet nurse has come to an end. No matter what happens in the future, Zhao should be able to live in peace. If Zhao's man still has an affair one day, haha——

Turning to a page with a bookmark at the back, the name "Yao Niang" is very obvious at the beginning of the sentence.

In the lower right corner of the page, there is a small word - Yao.

Things had to be done one by one. After Yao Niang's business was done, she would have to find a way to meet the black-robed monk.

In his previous life, this evil monk said that Zhanji would not exceed 38 years old, and he really came true.

In this life, she wanted to meet this master in advance.

After closing the storybook, Zhang Xin put it back on the bookshelf, called Wanxiu to tidy herself up, and rushed to her mother-in-law's family dinner.

~~~~

When Zhu Di went on an expedition, Xu would invite everyone to have dinner together every day.

The Yanwang Mansion had few people, and Zhu Di had only four sons and five daughters.

All the sons were born to Xu, except for the one who was not born, who died young.

There was also one of the daughters who was not born to Xu, but her own mother kept a close eye on her, so Xu just let her be.

Zhu Gaochi's elder sister Zhu Yuying was named Princess Yong'an after Zhu Gaochi's wedding last year and married Yuan Rong, the Yibin of the Clan Court.

Zhu Gaochi's second sister, Zhu Yuegui, was also named Princess Yongping in December last year and married Yibin Li Rang.

Married women would not stay in the palace, so they would not be included in the meals.

So although it was a big group, in fact there were only six of us including the Xu family, and we couldn't even fill an octagonal table.

But the remaining few people were relatively young, and the room was full of chatter, making it quite lively.

When we were almost done eating, the news from the capital arrived.

[On the seventh day of the third month, Zhu Di led his army north to the Checher Mountain and encountered the Hu soldiers. He fought with them and captured their chief general, Borin Temur, and dozens of others. He then chased them to the Uriankhaitu City and encountered Kharawu. He fought with them again, and Kharawu was defeated and fled. Zhu Di then returned home.]

"Great! Dad has won another victory!"

Zhu Zhiming cheered.

"Is Dad coming back?"

Zhu Gaosui ate the fastest. He finished long ago and was waiting for everyone, asking impatiently.

"Almost there. Wipe the sweat off your face and your lips. You're so old, why are you still so fussy?"

Xu answered with a smile, then looked at the young eunuch standing behind her son with dissatisfaction.

"Tough work!"

Zhu Gaosui pushed away the towel handed to him by the young eunuch and raised his arm to wipe it.

"You're so dirty!"

Zhu Zhiming, who was sitting next to Zhu Gaosui, turned hostile on the spot.

"I didn't wipe it with your sleeve, humph!"

Zhu Gaosui was always spoiled and never took his sister, who was one year older than him, seriously.

"You are still polite when you are dirty?"

Zhu Zhiming was so angry that he reached out and hit him.

Zhu Gaosui raised his hand to block it, but accidentally overturned the dishes on the table. The soup dripped onto the skirt of his third sister Zhu Anle, and the piece of meat flew to the opposite side and hit his second brother Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder.

They were all teenagers, and the war broke out immediately.

The brothers and sisters left the dinner table and started fighting.

Xu, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin were quite calm. The three of them took their own bowls. Someone in Xu's palace quickly prepared another table for them to sit down and eat.

By the time they finished eating, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had also finished fighting.

Zhu Zhiming and Zhu Anle, who were cheering for them from the side, consciously went to the corner to face the wall first, followed by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

"Today is all one hour."

Xu announced the duration of the punishment while drinking tea.

No one dared to answer.

When the three of them had eaten their fill and moved to another location, Zhang Xin looked at the four little guys sitting upright and thinking about their mistakes, and asked tentatively:

"Mom, I'm afraid it's past bedtime."

"You won't die if you get less sleep."

Xu answered promptly and clearly.

Except for the eldest son and daughter, the remaining children were all born in Yan.

Zhu Gaosui was the youngest. When he started his education, the eldest and second sons were called back to the capital by his father-in-law to study. Only he was left with Xu's family to grow up. It would be a lie to say that he didn't favor the eldest son, who was always under Xu's nose.

The fourth daughter was also pampered, and Zhu Di would give her everything she wanted.

She was in charge of all the affairs in the palace and was very busy.

So as they grew up, the younger son and daughter both had their heads a little crooked. Now that Zhang Xin is there to share some of the burden, she wants to straighten the children out as quickly as possible.

【Small Science——Dibao;

The Dibao, which flourished in the Song Dynasty, was interrupted by the Yuan Dynasty and was restored in the Ming Dynasty. Although the "Di" department no longer existed, the name of Dibao continued. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the official name of the Ming Dynasty, "Jingbao", appeared. In 1638 (the th year of Chongzhen), Dibao began to use movable type printing.
