Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

For many people in the Ming Dynasty during the four years of Apocalypse, there was nothing to worry about except the earthquake.At the beginning, there was an earthquake in Yangzhou, and then Luanzhou, Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places in the capital trembled repeatedly.The houses of the common people were damaged a lot, especially after the Luanzhou earthquake, black water gushed out from the ground fissure, the earthquake in Qian'an was accompanied by huge thunder, and the palaces in the capital were also shaken loudly, scaring the maids and eunuchs to act indiscriminately. lump.

Lidong was so angry that he ordered Lichun and others to beat the screaming maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace with sticks.

This time, the earthquake near the capital lasted for a relatively long time. For example, Qian'an had dozens of earthquakes a day, and Lulong and Luanzhou also lasted for more than [-] days.On the day of the crown prince's full moon, the capital was shaken three times a day, and the people were so frightened that they slept in the streets and dared not return home.

More than [-] prefectures and counties near the capital were within the scope of this earthquake, but it was very strange that the earthquake stopped when the crown prince was full moon.Then, the entire capital area seemed to have never had an earthquake, and there were no sporadic aftershocks.

Lichun hugged the crown prince who was able to raise his head and said to the queen: "My lady, the earthquake kept shaking before Dalang's full moon. But after Dalang's full moon, it has been almost a month. The capital is quiet and there has never been another Earthquakes. But it's strange."

Li Qiu said with a smile: "You are looking forward to someone screaming when the earthquake occurs, so you have an excuse to beat someone."

"Where do I have it? It's because those people are too timid and disturbed Dalang to sleep. Just like what the emperor said, Dalang is the son of a dragon who descended into the mortal world. God reminded you guys by flooding and earthquakes." .”

Lidong immediately nodded Lichun and said: "You can believe whatever the emperor says."

"Isn't the emperor right?"

Lidong didn't want to talk too much with the "fool", so he turned around and went about his own business.Li Xia came over, clapped his hands to the prince, and teased the prince with a smile, "Da Lang, let's go to see the winter jasmine flowers. The flowers are blooming beautifully."

I don't know if the prince understood, or the red silk flowers on Lixia's hairpin attracted him, and he immediately reached out to hug Lixia.Lichun was so angry that he stamped his feet and complained.

"You're here to grab Dalang again! This time it's my turn to hug Dalang, and it's finally my turn."

"It's Da Lang who wants to hug me. Isn't it? I'll return it to you in a while."

"He should go to bed again in a while." Lidong murmured dissatisfied, but the prince was willing to go to see flowers with Lixia, and she couldn't help it.

Babies of this age usually sleep more and wake up less.Pian Dalang is also a very easy child to take care of, he can sleep without talking, he is also very good at eating, and he seldom cries.Go to bed when you are full, and never need a nanny or maid to hug and coax you.When he was about to fall asleep, the nanny went to touch the diaper, even if he changed the diaper and wiped his buttocks, he would not wake up no matter how much he tossed and turned.

The emperor once teased the prince by pointing at the tip of his nose: "I slept like a piglet, and I didn't even know it was carried away."

Just because of the emperor's words, the Kunning Palace has always been led by one of the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and a little maid from the British government's dowry guards the prince.

The British princess said: "At that time, the people who saw your eldest nephew were a big girl and a young girl, and then there were two wet nurses. The prince should add more manpower. You tell the emperor that Zhan Shifu will send it over. The eunuchs and maids of the inner court also have to use it. Otherwise, it would seem that the emperor only trusts the people sent by our house."

The queen hugged her son and smiled, not answering her mother's words.The emperor said earlier that, except for those in the British government, no other courtiers are allowed to stand next to Da Lang.Even Dalang's clothes and diapers were washed by the nanny herself.Regarding matters in the palace, I was right to listen to the emperor.

Being able to give birth to a son in the first child made everyone feel at ease, and at the same time, the queen also felt at ease.She knew that she should listen to her father, and listen to the emperor when she enters the palace. As long as she takes good care of her son, there will be no shortage of glory and wealth in this life.As for what the mother said, just listen to the left ear and let the right ear leak out.

"Mother, you see Dalang knows me."

"Of course. Children who are five or sixty days old can recognize their own mothers. The prince is stronger than your eldest nephew, so he is easier to take care of. You should hug the child more when you have time, otherwise the child will kiss the nanny."

The queen nodded, she wanted to hold her son in her arms except when she was sleeping, but the emperor didn't allow it.The emperor said that children should not be allowed to develop the habit of sleeping in their arms, as it would make the children restless.So I can only hug after waking up.Especially Dalang will raise his head these days, and he refuses to lie down obediently when he wakes up, and always has to stand up and look around.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter scramble to hug and play with the prince.

This made her have to arrange the spring, summer, autumn and winter brought into the palace to hug the sleeping prince in order.After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, who is afraid that holding a child will tire your arms, but you just can't grab it.

But this fat boy can sleep nine or ten hours a day, and besides drinking milk, there is no time left for him to cuddle and play with.

If it weren't for the emperor's strict order not to hug the prince when he was asleep

In Kunning Palace, the oldest ones are the nurses.When the prince was born, Zhan Shifu sent four, and the emperor asked the British government to send in four.After more than a month, the last two nannies left behind were sent by the British government.Because the milk of these two people is good, Da Lang likes to eat it, and the two of them take turns to breastfeed one meal at a time.But every time after feeding, Lidong immediately took the baby back to his mother's side.

Don't worry about putting any lady by your side, these are the old lady's original words.Didn't you know it wasn't to beat them and make them pay more attention.

Outside the window of Kunning Palace, there are some winter jasmine flowers brought by the emperor's order, and they are planted in large vermilion flowerpots encircling them.The tender yellow winter jasmine, covered with branches, blooms gorgeously and dazzlingly.

The queen said for these pots of winter jasmine that there is enough yellow in this palace, and the whole palace is filled with the same color because of these jasmine flowers.

For this reason, Zhu Youxiao specially changed into a scarlet uniform, and stood in the jasmine bushes every day to tease the prince to rush to him.The two-month-old child likes bright red and yellow the most.

So Lichun didn't realize that the prince likes red and yellow.

Lidong was not happy for a while, and the emperor who changed into a red uniform came.The prince immediately left Lidong and rushed to the emperor's side, and Zhu Youxiao hugged the prince contentedly.

Lidong glanced at the emperor's uniform, sighed and backed down.I can only wear a red velvet flower, so can I put on a red palace dress to compete with the emperor and empress for the prince's attention?

Zhu Ciran is cute, and he is the fattest among all the children Zhu Youxiao has ever seen.He hugged Zhu Ciran to look at the winter jasmine flowers, and carefully combed Zhu Ciran's meridians. This fat boy's meridians are inherently wider and tougher than other children. He is definitely a good seed for martial arts.No wonder it is often said that when you buy a pig, you look at the pen.Just look at the men in the British government, which one of the grown-ups is not majestic and strong.The queen's six healthy nephews are rare one after the other.

I hope my nephew can be like my uncle.

The imperial family of the Ming Dynasty needed strong and long-lived genes to join.Is it possible to change the lustful, paranoid, and cowardly vices of the Zhu family since the Tai/zu?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know either.

What is hidden in the flesh and blood is the hardest thing to change.

These words hidden in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he will not tell anyone.

In less than four years, history has been changed a lot by him. Daming's rickety, leaky ship has almost been repaired.Many people who can work are still alive and fighting on the front line of Ming Dynasty.

For example, Zhou Ruqing was supposed to die suddenly from overwork during this year's Lantern Festival.But I suppressed him and didn't let him into the cabinet. Now he is working as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. Although the official is a little small, he can't fully play his role, but it would be better if someone can use him!

There is also this fat boy in his arms, who was supposed to be a stillborn baby born in Dongyue last year, but he was born two months ago tonight, and he is so frolicsome that everyone loves him, he has never seen such a strong baby.

Zhu Ciran half-lyed in the arms of the emperor, facing the warm spring sun, squinting his eyes comfortably and enjoying it.Occasionally he would raise his head and stretch out his hand to scratch the winter jasmine branch. Every time he was just a little bit close to reaching it, but he just couldn't reach it.But he wasn't annoyed either. On his white and tender fat face, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth brought out a slight smile.

"My lord, you see Da Lang seems to be smiling."

Seeing the father and son enjoying themselves among the flowers, the queen walked over quietly.

Zhu Youxiao slowly withdrew his internal strength, and wanted to hold the child up, so he inevitably sent it forward a little.But with such a little leeway, Zhu Ciran made a decisive move—his little chubby hand was as fast as lightning, and he caught a winter jasmine in one fell swoop, and then quickly retracted it, clenched into a fleshy fist, and put it in his mouth deliver.

"Oh, Dalang, this is not edible."

The queen hurried forward, trying to pick the winter jasmine flower out of her son's hand.Before his mother could succeed, Da Lang burst into earth-shattering cries, which startled Zhu Youxiao.

"My darling, are you going to be so frightened that your father accidentally throws you away? Huh?"

Zhu Youxiao stood Dalang up and hugged him, patted the fat boy on the back and gently coaxed him.

"My lord, look at Da Lang, before I picked out the tweed in his hand, he started to feel wronged." The mother was also frightened by her son's crying, and complained wrongedly to her son's father.

"Gu Shi. It seems that this kid has a bad temper. You see, what he wants to put in his mouth in the future, others must never touch it."

"This bad temper."

The queen had to give up her plan to pick out the flowers from her son, and turned to the emperor's side, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his son's tears.

"Dalang, look at this flower, it's even better than the one in your hand. Look at it."

Lixia shook the branches cooperatively, attracting the prince with the winter jasmine flowers all over the branches.The prince seemed to be attracted by the branched and bright winter jasmine flowers passing by in front of him. He stopped crying, lay on Zhu Youxiao's shoulder with eye-catching tears on his cheeks, and stretched out his hand towards Lixia.

Zhu Youxiao thought he would loosen the tweed flower he was clenched in his fist, but the villain stretched out his other hand and ran towards the red velvet flower on Lixia's head.If it weren't for Li Xia's many years of martial arts practice, his subconscious reaction was also very quick, and he hid for a while, and he almost got his way.

Zhu Youxiao kissed his fat son on the forehead.

"You are quick. Let's go, let's go back to drink water."

In July, the ancient channel of the Yellow River, which took a lot of manpower and invested a lot of money to dredge, came in handy in the torrential rain.Most of the water in the rolling Yellow River flowed into the sea along the ancient river channel.A small number of those who flowed to the Huaihe River failed to break free from the shackles of the river again, bringing floods to the Xuzhou area.

After the autumn floods passed, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they did not have to face floods this year.Otherwise, after the earthquake disaster, there will be another flood disaster of a common scale in the past few years, and the emergency money reserved last year will not be enough.

But even so, there is not much money left under the name of the emergency fund.On the first day of September, there was another earthquake in the Shanghai area. Although the houses collapsed and the earthquake was also felt in Changshu, Jiangsu, it was still not as wide-ranging as the earthquake in Yangzhou and Gyeonggi areas in the spring, and the number of people affected was more.

Zhou Jiamo listened to Li Qiyuan, the Minister of the Household Department who had been in office for nine months, give a report on the annual financial settlement. Hearing that there were 12 taels of emergency money left, he nodded slightly.

This money has been set since the emperor ascended the throne.For the first time in several years, there is a balance.It is also the first time that there is no need to embezzle other funds.

God bless Daming, from now on no more emergency relief money will be used.

The old Shangshu secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

Yellow River Burst in Xuzhou

In July, the Yellow River burst through Kuishan embankment in Xuzhou, in the northeast of Guanzhou City, where the water depth was one foot and three feet.The river flows from the south gate to Da'an Bridge in the north of Yunlong Mountain and enters Shigou Lake, and flows from the old branch southeast to Deng Erzhuang. It reaches the small river in the southeast of Zugou, and exits Baiyang, still connecting with Huanghui.Xu Min gathered money and moved the state to rule in Yunlong Mountain.
