Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

When several generals arrived in the capital, the capital was in a commotion. After all, these generals were all accomplished generals. They followed His Majesty when the incident started. They have been fighting south and north for these years, and they are stationed at the border. Now Returning to Beijing is the highest standard of courtesy.

Let’s talk about the houses first. They are all big houses that were copied from the house before. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started to clean them up. I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the pond is filled with running water. It will not stink after more than ten years, unless the source dry.

Besides, the house is equivalent to being rebuilt. The wood is all good materials, not to mention the furniture. It was made by experienced carpenters, not to mention burrs, but there is no flaw at all, and the places touching the ground are ground flat.

They are all fashionable styles, with three-door wardrobes. Except for the room where the servants live, the room where the general and his family live is as big as the main room of ordinary people. There are tables and chairs in it, and weavers are spread on the floor. A rug woven with coarse wool.

The floor was still tile—it was porcelain!

The tiles are also new, made by some young master, they are easy to break when knocked, and they are not easy to lay on the floor, but they are slippery, but as long as they are covered with carpets, they will be very beautiful, easy to clean and look good.

And it is cheaper than ordinary porcelain firing. I don't know how much less a large kiln can produce at a time. I heard that the young master's family has made a lot of money with this, and now they can live in a large mansion in Beijing.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were excited to speak, and the audience was also excited.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also said: "Just talking about porcelain, it is all good porcelain when it is fired. If you talk about white porcelain, there is absolutely no variegated color. If you say it is flower porcelain, the color must be correct. Besides, pots and pans, these are all Prepared, although bought, but all good goods."

In the end, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs summed it up: "If I can live in that house for a few days, this life will be worth it!"

The listeners were also envious: "Your Majesty is thinking about them!"

"Who said no? I followed His Majesty many years ago. I heard that His Majesty was just a village master at that time, with only a hundred or eighty people under his command."

"Our Majesty is the real dragon emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Beijing with his family and was about to find an inn to stay in. He expected that he had come early, and that the mansion bestowed by His Majesty would have to be cleaned. As soon as he entered the city, an internal official begged to see him outside the carriage, so Zhu Yuanzhang simply jumped out of the carriage.

The neiguan is a handsome man with a fair face and no beard. He is well-born, except for a few fine lines at the end of his eyes. When he smiled, the spring breeze brushed his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your official, Chulin, I have seen the general."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't put up his airs either. He had just arrived in the capital and hadn't figured out the place yet: "Master Chu, do you have something important to do?"

Chu Lin smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered the officials to send you to the mansion, everything is ready."

It is of course a good thing not to have to go to the inn, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Chu Lin got on his horse and led the way, and Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage followed behind.

After reaching the gate, Chu Lin said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty said that the plaque will not be hung until the other two generals arrive."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I know."

He understood what this meant, and he would definitely not hang up the General's Mansion. The plaque would only be hung up after His Majesty bestowed titles on them.

Zhu Yuanzhang went in first with his wife and daughter, and the servants entered the yard through the back door and carried the luggage down first.

As soon as she entered the yard, Aunt Zhu started a fight. She grabbed Ma Shi's hand, her almond eyes widened: "Mom! This room! I've never seen a room like this before!"

The floor is covered with carpet, which is very soft to walk on. Where there is no carpet, there are shiny tiles. The furnishings in the main room are all high-quality goods. The tables and chairs are styles that she has never seen before at the border. She found a chair to sit on. Going down, the bottom of the buttocks is soft, padded, and stuffed with cotton.

"Little lady! Let's go and have a look in the room!" Aunt Zhu hurriedly led her younger sister to the back house to find her boudoir.

After looking at each room, each room felt good, but when they opened the two adjacent rooms together, they couldn't breathe anymore.

"This room...is prepared for us at first glance!" Aunt Zhu closed her mouth wide open, remembering what her friend said, all ladies in the capital speak softly, walk with small steps, and eat with small mouthfuls, although she thinks that is too tiring , but I also feel that maybe I can integrate into the capital by learning from them.

Speaking of which, Aunt Zhu still has some low self-esteem.

She heard the book said that girls from rich families have willow waists, cherry blossoms, and willow-leaf eyebrows. They must speak softly, deal with people generously and decently, and have the restraint of a girl. Housekeeping needs to be learned from an early age. When I was a child, I studied with my brothers. I don’t mean to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but I have to read them.

There is also female red, embroidering flowers must be able to attract butterflies, and cooking must be able to make delicious food that people are full of praise.

Aunt Zhu felt that she would not be able to learn it even if she was reincarnated again.

Aunt Zhu can’t just say that embroidery attracts butterflies. She doesn’t like these things, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Shi don’t force their sisters to learn. When they were young, they didn’t expect that when they grew up, they would point to girls to recruit women. Since they are recruiting women, There is no need to learn these things. With Lao Tzu around, how can I save their clothes and tidy up?

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that they would be stronger and able to live in a family house, so that they would not be controlled by men in the future. If they were coaxed by men, the Zhu family's property would become another family's property, and the children might not take the Zhu family's surname, then he would die , and had to sit up from the coffin angrily.

Aunt Zhu looked at the room in front of her. It was very bright. The windows were pushed from side to side, with pulleys installed, and there were curtains. The curtains were made of cotton, but they were well woven and dyed, and they were dyed dark blue. When the sun was good, they were drawn. There is light blue light in the room.

The table was made of wood, but it had also been dyed so well that the original color could not be seen.

Especially the bed, there are no four-corner pillars, and there is no floor on the top, just a big bed with complete sheets and bedding.

In addition to the pillows and cushions, you can tell that they are not soft at first glance. Aunt Zhu turned her head to look at her sister, and walked to the door of the next room, and found that there was no difference between the two rooms except for the color of the curtains and the color of the sheets and bedding. They are all carpeted, the carpet is thick and soft, and it is very comfortable to sit on.

"Let's go see our parents' house?" Aunt Zhu asked excitedly.

Zhu Xiaoniang was also curious and nodded repeatedly.

The two found the largest room, and when they opened the door, they were frightened by the scene in front of them.

This house is bigger than their houses combined!

The bright hall is second to none. The room has a bed, a desk, and a carved wooden table with the eight immortals crossing the sea carved on it, each of which is lifelike.

Everything told them silently that someone had taken care to decorate this place.

When Aunt Zhu and the others had finished watching, they ran back to the main room, only to see that their parents were already eating dim sum.

It turned out that when Chu Lin heard that they had entered the city, he had already sent someone to a dim sum shop to buy freshly baked dim sum. The steamed ones were sweet and soft, but not sticky to the teeth. It was just right to eat a few pieces with tea.

"Come on, dim sum in the capital." Mrs. Ma beckoned to her daughters.

Aunt Zhu led her younger sister to eat one each with Mashi's chopsticks, and was immediately overwhelmed by the taste.

No matter how good the border is, you can't make such dim sum. The capital is indeed the capital.

"Mother, I saw your room!" Aunt Zhu said, "It's almost bigger than this room!"

Ma said with a smile: "Say silly things, whose house is bigger than the main room?"

Aunt Zhu said quickly: "I'm not talking nonsense, really, you can tell when you look at it. There is also a table. You can tell it's good wood at a glance. I can smell the fragrance. There are eight immortals crossing the sea carved on it."

Aunt Zhu felt that her previous years had been wasted!

She took a sip of tea and was so excited that she couldn't sit still. She was already afraid on the road, but now she is not afraid anymore. The strong wind blows away, and my daughter's house is wearing bunts, which is good for work.

In the early years, there were many widows in the border town, and the head of the family left in the early years, and there was no news about whether they were dead or alive.

After waiting for several years and more than ten years, there was no hope of waiting, and some soldiers came over. Many soldiers married widows or girls in the local area, and they have been stationed at the border all their lives.

Even though Aunt Zhu is a girl from the General's Mansion, she doesn't have the habit of going out of the door and not going out. Her mother got off to a good start. When her father was busy, her mother always went to help in the barracks. She and her sister Just take care of things at home.

The servants hired below were also bold, trying to coax the two sisters and coax the two sisters while the head mistress was away, greedy for some money.

The two sisters were inexperienced at first, and were coaxed several times, and then they got angry and turned people to the government. Not only did they spit out greedily, but they were also imprisoned for two years because of the crime of theft and the huge amount of money committed.

The servants think that their big family has a good face. Even if they find out, they will at most send them away. It’s not easy to spread. They feel that they have the confidence. Leave, anyway, enough money.

Since then, Aunt Zhu has known that it is not a good thing to be talkative or face-saving. She has to be like her father, saying that one is one and the other is two, so that others will not dare to coax her and be afraid of her.

Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking tea, looking at the scenery of the garden outside the main room, his eyes were a little dazed, so many years had passed, and his daughter was getting married, but when he wanted to come here occasionally, he still felt that he was still the same as the one who just came out of Huangjue Temple back then. The little monk, wandering and wandering, just for the sake of eating.

If it wasn't for the kindness of other landlords when their parents died, he wouldn't even be able to find a piece of land to bury them.

Who would have thought that he could still be a general now, living in such a luxurious mansion and drinking freshly made tea?

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Ma Shi, Ma Shi seemed to be aware of it, raised his head to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and smiled with his lips pursed.

There are wives and daughters, money and status.

In his life, he was content.
