Zhu Hongsan entered the mansion, and all his wives, concubines and children were waiting in the mansion, and welcomed the head of the family back.

All kinds of people in the mansion were arranged according to their identities and status, and the princess Ma Xiaofang took him to the King of Chu to greet him.

"I'm waiting to welcome the prince back home!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone is up, everyone hasn't eaten, princess, please inform me and start the meal!"

After the prince's orders came, everyone in the mansion began to take action, and soon two tables of food were placed.

Zhu Hong and the other three had no bad hobbies except lust. If there were any, they would eat it. The dishes in the Ming Dynasty were basically different from those in later generations. Many dishes in later generations were invented in the late Qing Dynasty. However, no matter how great the difficulties were, they could not stop the heart of a foodie. The chef of the King of Chu Mansion was the best chef in Nanzhili. In addition, Zhu Hongsan taught by words and deeds, and the contribution of MSG and soy sauce, now this table of food is as good as a restaurant in later generations.

Zhu Hongsan is now a family, and there are only nine wives. This is because of dysfunction. Two children died of twelve children. The oldest is Zhu Luo, who is fourteen years old this year, and the youngest is Qian Yutingsheng's son. He has only been one month old. He has not yet chosen his name, so he has to wait until his birthday to be named.

He was over 20 or so, and sat on two full tables. Zhu Hongsan looked around and asked, "Where is Zhu Luo? Where is this girl dead again? His father didn't even look at him when he came back!"

Princess Ma Xiaofang next to him said, "Prince, Zhu Luo has been mysterious these days, I don't know what to do. I'll see her tomorrow and talk about her!"

"Hmph! What else can I do? The Nanyang army adjusted its defense a few days ago, and Zhao Hu should have come back. The dead girl should have gone to find Zhao Hu again. If the girl is old, she will not be able to stay!"

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Yu sitting on the small table. The second girl couldn't help but like it. The second girl Zhu Yu was ten years old this year and had become a big girl. She looked graceful and graceful. Sitting there quietly, she looked like a lady from a noble family.

Zhu Hongsan likes long legs and crazy tomboys. But it doesn’t mean he wants his daughter to become like that. That father doesn’t want his daughter to become a lady from a family!

Zhu Hong's three-year Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Little Fish, come here!"

On Zhu Hongsan's table are Ma Xiaofang, Zhu Ma Shi, Qian Yuting and their children. Because these three are valuable, there is no need to say that Ma Xiaofang is, Zhu Hongsan's eldest wife is also enthroned by the court. Because of her identity, Chongzhen's eldest princess, has a noble status. Qian Yuting is also the princess of Hongguang's court, so only the three of them can sit at the same table with Zhu Hongsan.

There are also children, Ma Xiaofang's three children, and the leader is Zhu Hongsan's prince Zhu Hai, the eldest daughter Zhu Luo went out crazy and was not there, but the seats were to be left. In August, Ma Xiaofang got another son, but she had not named her name, so she was held by the nurse. Zhu Moyu's son was just two years old this year, and she sat on the same chair like a young adult, and finally Qian Yuting's son.

The other wives and children do not have enough status, so they have to sit at the second table. Needless to say, the Dong sisters' identities, how dare a malignant daughter compare with those three? As for the other wives, they are either widows or widows, or actors. With the daughter of the prime minister Chen Zizhuang, Chen is a widow who remarries, and they have to sit at the second table because Chen is a widow. As for the children they have given birth, they are also implicated by their mothers and cannot be on the same table with Zhu Hongsan.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan didn't want to treat his children like this. After all, they were all his own blood and they had to treat them equally. However, the Ming Dynasty was a society of etiquette and law. Even the emperor was the emperor's nobles, but he didn't do whatever he wanted. Because of the issue of legitimate birth and illegitimate birth, Zhu Hongsan, Ma Mingyuan, and Ma Jiyuan had many arguments, but in the end, Zhu Hongsan had no choice. He could not fight the entire society by himself.

Men are all rude, and Zhu Hongsan is busy with affairs now, so he gradually adapts to this matter. The eldest son Zhu Hai's identity gradually becomes apart from other children, from monthly expenses to his status in the mansion, etc.

The Dong sisters were very happy to see Zhu Hongsan let Zhu Yu go over and quickly asked Zhu Yu to get up.

Zhu Yu came to Zhu Hongsan, Yingying bowed and said softly: "Zhu Yu pays homage to your father!" Then he bowed to Ma Xiaofang, saying: "Greetings to your mother and all the concubines!"

Seeing his daughter's weakness, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help feeling distressed, and held Zhu Yu's hand and said, "Little Yuer, why are you so thin? You have to come out and exercise more and bask in the sun more!"

Ma Xiaofang next to him was afraid that Zhu Hongsan would blame him for being so flirted with, so he quickly said, "Prince, now there is money in the mansion, and all children have a monthly fee of 100 taels!"

Zhu Hongsan knew about these messy things in the mansion, but he didn't want to care about them now, and ignored Ma Xiaofang. He said to Zhu Yu: "Xiaoyuer, let's have dinner at your father's table in the future. Your father will watch you eat, so you can't lose weight!" After that, he said to Cao Fang next to him: "Old Cao, bring a chair and put it next to Zhu Luo, and Zhu Yu will sit there in the future!" Cao Fang hurried down to make arrangements.

Ma Xiaofang was very angry when she saw a illegitimate daughter on par with her own legitimate daughter, but after looking at Zhu Hongsan, she didn't say anything. After all, Zhu Yu was just a daughter and would not marry in the future. Her son Zhu Hai was the most important.

Seeing Zhu Yu sit down, Zhu Hongsan started to eat. Everyone saw that the King of Chu started to move and started eating. After all, it was already dark now, and everyone had been hungry for a long time to wait for Zhu Hongsan to come back.

After letting go of the atmosphere, everyone was very active. A few five or six-year-old children on the table opposite were almost fighting to compete for delicious food. Ma Xiaofang was about to stop him. Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Is this home? You should be like this when eating. Cao Fang, look at what dishes are not enough on the table and let the kitchen cook. I, Zhu Hongsan, are different from before, and how many children can't afford to raise them?"

Zhu Hongsan likes this kind of happy family gathering. Seeing the children playing and making fun, he thought of his previous life. At that time, his family was not well-off, and his mother had to hold any good things into his bowl. When Zhu Hongsan thought of this, the corners of his eyes were wet.

Ma Xiaofang and Zhu Hongsan lived their whole lives. When they saw Zhu Hongsan seeing Jing Shengqing, they knew that he missed his mother. They said from the side: "Prince, do you miss your mother-in-law again?"

"Hey! How good is my mother to be alive? I will be happy to see the mistress now that the children are in groups!"

"The prince is mourning. I think my mother-in-law will definitely like these children!"

Zhu Hongsan listened to Ma Xiaofang's persuasion, wiped his tears and said, "Now there is a war in Huguang. I heard that there are less than 30,000 people left in Wuchang Prefecture. I don't know how my mother's grave is going!"

"I believe that the lucky people only have celestial phenomena, so there should be no problem!"

Zhu Hongsan can't stretch his hands so long now, and he can't help but worry. However, watching his children play and make trouble, Zhu Hongsan's mood improved a lot.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan saw the eldest son, the prince Zhu Hai, on his desk. Now Zhu Hai is ten years old and has already entered school the year before. His teacher is Ma Mingyuan. Sometimes Feng Ruoshu also comes to teach for two days. Now this child is taught by several literati, sitting there without saying a word, like a little adult.

Zhu Hongsan doesn't like his son to become like this. Is it a child? He needs to have a happy childhood. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan asked: "Zhu Hai, how is your academic performance?"

When Zhu Hai heard his father ask him, he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and replied, "By the father, my son has learned the Analects of Confucius."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Don't study hard, go out for more trips. Books are useless, just be sensible." Zhu Hongsan did not want his son to be educated as a nerd. After all, as the eldest son, Zhu Hai had to inherit his family business. If a nerd is, he would not be bullied to death by these stinky old ninths.

"Father, but Mr. Ma taught me that only by reading the books of a saint can one know shame and etiquette!"

"You can't believe everything Kong Lao Er said. Why did he run around like a dog who was chased back then? Your father, I haven't read any books, and didn't he create such a big family business?"

"Mr. Ma said that it is okay to conquer the world like his father, but for long-term stability, it is necessary to educate the saints!"

Zhu Hongsan was very angry when he heard Zhu Hai say this. What did Ma Laoer teach his son? Did he pass the imperial examination and pass the Jinshi?

Zhu Hongsan slapped the table and said, "Is your father unable to control the world if he hasn't studied and killed people and set fire?"

The room was noisy, but when he heard Zhu Hongsan get angry, he was immediately silent. Several ignorant children couldn't stand the tense atmosphere and started crying.

When Ma Xiaofang saw Zhu Hongsan getting angry, she quickly got up and said, "Prince, the child is young and doesn't understand these things. I will educate him in the future! Zhu Hai, I won't apologize to your father!"

Zhu Hai was also frightened by Zhu Hongsan. He had seen Zhu Hongsan get so angry. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Father, my son is wrong. I will never make my father angry again!"

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and asked him to get up. Now that he is so fussy, he can't eat. Everyone hastily ended up and went back to their own houses.

The successors of the royal family education in the Ming Dynasty had their own methods, and they were not just studying. The crown prince had to cooperate with the emperor to handle some simple state affairs after he became an adult. However, Zhu Hongsan was a royal family, which was actually no different from ordinary farmers. How could he know how the crown prince educated him?

None of the scholars and officials under Zhu Hongsan had participated in the issue of prince education before. Feng Ruoshu, who had the largest position, was just the chief minister of Dali Temple. He was so tempted to judge cases, that was one of them. Ma Mingyuan, Ma Jiyuan and others were just local officials, and they had never played with this thing in education.

What should Zhu Hongsan do when he sat on a chair? The education of the heir is a big deal. He is now thirty, and his old friend is seventy years old, so he cannot live forever. If he dies, he will be done.

Zhu Hongsan thought about himself after thinking about it. Since he didn’t know how to educate, he didn’t want to educate. It would be better to throw his children into the social classroom. Didn’t he come here like this when he was a child?
