Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Three: Mrs.
Zhu Di patted his thigh and said, "That's what you want, yes, what's wrong with you, a thousand households?"
Hao Fenglou said: "This is the New Year. Everyone is not interested in official business, so nothing is wrong."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "These people claim to be loyal every day, but the true nature of the New Year is revealed. They do things one by one, and they think about the New Year in their hearts."
Hao Fenglou felt that Zhu Di was scolding him, his face turned slightly red, but he said righteously: "Your Majesty said so much. I am used to this ugly phenomenon. The more you see clearly, the more you are all burned. Today, there are too few people who are responsible and willing to be sincere. However... the world is dirty. Your Majesty turns a blind eye and doesn't have to worry about anger. After all, there are only a few people who are willing to do their best to do their best. Just like Wei, I always want to be lazy, but Wei, I always think of Your Majesty's teachings, I have to cheer up."
Zhu Di actually nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
Successfully fooling! Hao Fenglou felt that he had a sense of accomplishment. It was not easy to fool a smart person, but it was actually easy. To put it bluntly, no matter how smart a person was, his brain was not constantly running at high speed. People always had times of relaxation, so it is most important to subtly move. You can't fool hard on major events, and you have to tell the truth. However, when chatting, you can add various personal goods to you. Over time, you will be a bastard and become the cutest person in his eyes.
Zhu Di suddenly said: "There is another thing, did you have an engagement with Lu Yan in the Lu family before?"
Hao Fenglou didn't know why Zhu Di asked this, and hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhu Di said lightly: "Empress Xu means to give you marriage, but this matter must be handled through the Ministry of Rites. It is very complicated, but there is no rush."
Hao Fenglou was shocked, and he suddenly understood why Lu Yan was going to enter the palace. With the marriage grant, the matter was for sure and no one could object. Hao Fenglou could almost imagine how happy his mother would be if she knew the news.
At this time, Zhu Di said again: "Forget it, these are all small things that affectionately affection for children, let's not talk about these."
Zhu Di took a few sips of tea, sighed heavily before continuing: "You will get married and have children in the future. When you have a son, you will know my troubles. You don't understand it even if you say it. The only one of my sons, Zhao is less sensible, but it is not a good thing to be too sensible."
He sighed and became quiet, and he was stunned.
Hao Fenglou knew that Zhu Di had thought about the throne again, so he would not speak at this time. Once he spoke, he might have to talk in depth. He was a small Jinyiwei Qianhu to care about or even involve such a thing, and in the end he was afraid that even the bones would not be left.
After a long time, Zhu Di suddenly said, "If the prince is the emperor in the future, what will happen to him based on your understanding of the King of Han?"
Hao Fenglou's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid of anything he would come to. Hao Fenglou thought for a while and said, "The King of Han is a little arrogant."
Although this answer is just a matter of pointing, it tells the key to the problem. The so-called arrogance actually means that you will definitely not admit defeat. What should you do if you don’t admit defeat? Maybe you will learn from Zhu Di and suffer the trouble. At that time, you will inevitably have to be killed again.
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "How about the King of Han be the emperor?"
Hao Fenglou said: "The prince is the eldest son."
It's time to stop again, and the eldest son cannot become the emperor. Can he swallow this? In the end, he still has flesh and blood.
This is the contradiction between Zhu Di. He knew these two sons very well. As a father, he simply hoped that his brothers would be harmonious. But now it seems that no matter what choice he made, the final result would not be satisfactory.
Zhu Di took a bite of tea. Finally, he patted the tea cup on the table and said, "It's only now that I understand Taizu's painstaking efforts. Don't think about these."
After listening to the play in the back garden, Empress Xu grabbed Mrs. Hao's hand and said a few words of self-interest, then got up and returned to the palace, and Zhu Di naturally followed him back.
The ladies and ladies from each family in the Hao family had different attitudes when they saw Mrs. Hao. Many people became much more enthusiastic. Even Mrs. Yang became cautious when speaking, and what kind of thanks and what kind of show today looked really interesting. It was probably these unnutritious words. Mrs. Hao nodded to her kindly, and finally the guests left happily.
When the dust settled, Hao Fenglou accompanied his wife to the small hall to rest. Mrs. Hao exhaled and said, "I was really shocked today. First, it was Mrs. Xu, and then the queen. I was really afraid of something wrong and I was not very happy about him."
Hao Fenglou asked, "Mother, what did the queen say?"
Mrs. Hao said, "I didn't say anything, it's all trivial matters. There are some things she did when she was a girl. At first, my mother was worried, but seeing that she was easy-going, she gradually let go. Later, I talked about you. Naturally, I didn't dare to say that you were absurd, and I only said that you were well-behaved since childhood. When the Empress heard this, she smiled and said, "I can't see it. Then I asked about your birth date and horoscope, and it was strange. What did the Empress ask about your horoscope? My mother felt that the Empress did not seem to be here to walk around, but she was a bit like not not going to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble."
Hao Fenglou smiled. He wanted to tell the story of the marriage, but he felt that his horoscope was not clear, so he could be happy. So he said vaguely: "I don't know, who can guess the Empress's thoughts?"
Mrs. Hao also smiled: "Yes, she is the empress, Feng Xin is unpredictable, so we don't have to think about it. In short, my mother was proud. Mrs. Yang thought she wouldn't dare to use us for fun again. Alas... I'm really tired, go and have a rest."
The next morning, the Hao family welcomed another good thing. Someone came from the palace and ordered Mrs. Hao to be a third-rank imperial concubine. Previously, Mrs. Hao was from the husband's rank and was originally a fourth-rank imperial concubine, but now she is a "high-rise" step, which is a special courtesy.
The Hao family received the order, and the next day, Mrs. Hao entered the palace to see Feng Jia, which was considered a thank you.
After returning from the palace, Mrs. Hao was in a particularly good mood. When talking about Empress Xu, she specifically said to Hao Fenglou: "Empress Xu's meaning seems to have the intention of having to interact with her mother from time to time. Yes, Mrs. Xu was also in the palace and told her a lot of things. In a few days, would she have to hunt on Zijin Mountain? Alas, the Empress said that the ministers were unwilling to go to Zijin Mountain, and the imperial tomb was there, and it would inevitably bump into the ancestors. But Your Majesty insisted on this, saying that the place was so big that it didn't matter. Besides, Taizu was originally a civil and military proficiency, and his children and grandchildren were hunting there, just to show Taizu's immediate skills. The Empress invited me to go and see the fun, but my mother had never hunted her before, so she was afraid that she would lose her etiquette by staying with Fengjia."
Hao Fenglou thought to himself that even Empress Xu had set off. It seemed that the scale of the hunting was really big, but it was understandable to think about it. Empress Xu was a tiger girl from the general and had been in Peking for more than ten or twenty years with Zhu Di. Not to mention hunting, she had even been there when she was in the battle formation in person. Of course, such a woman could not be treated with common sense.
Hao Fenglou said: "Don't worry, my mother is just joining in the fun. There are so many rules."
Mrs. Hao felt it made sense, so she relaxed.
The special courtesy of the Hao family has spread throughout Nanjing City, and there are all things to say. Some say that the Hao family entrusted the ancestor of the Hao family, the ancestor of the Hao family, was the poorly famous Xu's "Shishou" who was once very friendly to the King of Yan at that time. Therefore, when today, I still remember the favors of the ancestors of the Hao family, I valued them so much.
Some people also say that His Majesty was just a whim.
However, such courtesy is enough to make people jealous, so that the number of people who visited the Hao family has risen sharply recently. Although it is not clear what the Hao family has made recently, everyone has put aside their contempt.
This year is coming soon, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone is on duty.
Hao Fenglou is now sitting steadily in the Qianhu Station. Because of his ability to hunt, Nanjing City is a bit messy. Duke Qi Guo and Qiu Fu, the left governor of the Governor of the Five Army, led 10,000 guards to Zijin Mountain to strengthen the garrison.
Many personal soldiers also dispatched people to Zijin Mountain to serve on duty. Some were responsible for guarding important roads in various places, while others went to set up camps in advance, and there were many things.
The personal soldiers strolling in Nanjing suddenly became much thinner, but at this time, the Thousand Houses in Neidongcheng ushered in a good day.
There are a sharp increase in shops at Donghuamen. Now there are countless shops, and the entire Donghuamen has almost become a large construction site. New shops are built everywhere, and countless merchants are flocking here to try to find business opportunities. The gathering of shops will definitely attract a large number of merchants who travel to business. Because there are many shops here, there are naturally many people. There are tens of thousands of goods sold every day, and the goods of the shop must be replenished on time from merchants who sell goods. Therefore, merchants from all over the country also try to establish business stores there or make a storefront to facilitate contact with other merchants.
Under this situation, the monthly income of Donghuamen Hundred Houses will naturally increase sharply.
When Zhou Siliu stayed up for a few nights and prepared the bill and sent it to Hao Fenglou, even Hao Fenglou was surprised.
"Sir, the Donghuamen is now a place with a cone, and it has been occupied and built with a front door. However, many merchants are still flocking to it. This is not a solution."
Hao Fenglou looked at the account book, especially when he saw the eye-catching new money, he couldn't help but breathe: "What are you afraid of? Donghuamen has no doorstep. There are many in Neidongcheng. This entire Neidongcheng can collect safe money. As long as the merchants are willing to come, everything else is easy to say."
Zhou Sili nodded, but said with concern: "It would be fine if a hundred households collected money for peace, but now it is the entire Neidong City. If so, other yamen will have no food to eat."
Hao Fenglou smiled: "These silver is included in the palace. Why? How dare they compete with the palace for food? Don't pay attention and do your own thing."
