Chapter 264(1/2)
The eight of them did not drive, but rode horses and strolled through the streets while talking about various topics of interest, such as kung fu, women...
Because they were all wearing the uniforms of royal children, there were no blind people who bumped into them; Hongwu Street was very wide, so an accident was unlikely.? ?
Even other noble disciples passing by would take the initiative to wait for them to pass by, and no one would provoke them. There was also a passing official who wanted to come up and say a few words to pay respects, but was ignored by them.
I don't care about ordinary officials. But there are exceptions to this.
While they were talking about something, another motorcade stopped on the side of the road waiting for them to pass by. Gao Xu and others didn't care, they were still talking about something; but Zhu Mengjiong's sharp eyes saw that this was the carriage of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and stretched out his hand
He pulled Yunzhen and Zhu Xianyao and said, "Look, over there is the carriage of Duke Zheng's mansion."
Zhu Xianyao said nonchalantly: "What happened to Duke Zheng's palace? Can it be more powerful than our royal family?" He inherited Zhu Su's domineering spirit, and no one cared.
But Yun Sui said: "No, I have to get off my horse and pay a visit. This is my grandfather's house." As Zhu Biao's first wife, Concubine Chang was theoretically all Zhu Biao's children.
Historically, although the Chang family had little power after Yun Wen succeeded to the throne, Yun Wen treated them with "very great courtesy" and did a lot of superficial work.
Yunzhen dismounted and went to visit. Zhu Mengjiong saw that Yunzhen went to visit, so he dismounted and followed him, even though he was older than Yunzhen.
Seeing them dismounting to visit, Gao Xu and others did not want to sit and wait on the horse, so they also dismounted. Even Zhu Xianyao, who had always been domineering, also dismounted and followed, although he would not take the initiative to talk to the Chang family.
Yunzhen walked up to the Chang family's luxurious carriage that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him during his lifetime. The driver immediately saluted and said, "I have met His Royal Highness!" However, although the courtesy was meticulous, he did not look nervous at all.
Yunzhen said to the carriage: "But Duke Zheng is inside? Xiao Wang Mingyi, the master of the palace, is here to pay a visit." Because he has not yet had a formal title, and has not lived in a separate palace, in order not to appear superior, he can only use the palace where he lives.
The name is self-proclaimed.
Although Yun Chen looks like a martial artist, his thoughts are much more delicate than Yun Wen's.
Then the six princes except Zhu Xianyao also said they wanted to pay a visit. It was easier for them to talk, they all had titles, and they could just use their titles to call themselves.
In the carriage, Chang Youfu, the second steward of Duke Zheng's palace, said to Chang Jifeng: "Fourth Young Master, a total of seven princes are here to pay their respects. You have to go down and meet them."
But Chang Jifeng said in panic: "Can't you go out and meet me?"
Chang Youfu could tell at a glance that it was Chang Jifeng who had never met so many princes and nobles at the same time before. He was suffering from phobia and was unwilling to get out of the car to meet. He immediately lamented that this young master still lacked training. If the eldest young master succeeded the clan,
The second young master Ji Yao will definitely get out of the car and chat and laugh with several princes here. Even the third young master Ji Sheng and the fifth young master Ji Zu are better than the fourth young master.
But now Chang Jifeng is the only one in the family here. He can only say gently: "Fourth Young Master, you have to go out and meet. There are several princes outside. Even if the princes don't mind, we can't let them
I feel that our Duke Zheng's government has no etiquette."
When these geniuses of Chang Jifeng came to the palace of Zheng Guogong, Yu Jie, his playmate, was not as panicked as Chang Jifeng. Instead, he said very excitedly: "Your Majesty? I haven't seen the prince yet when I came to the capital!" and then encouraged Chang Jifeng.
He said: "You go down and take a look, and I will follow you to see if the prince is a dragon among men like the legend in the village."
As soon as Chang Jifeng heard what Yu Jie said, he temporarily forgot his nervousness and said with a smile: "The legend in our village is not right at all. I have seen the emperor, and even the emperor is not what the folks think, and the princes will not be like that.
.”
Yu Jie still said: "You just go down and take a look, and I will take a look too."
Don't worry, Chang Jifeng followed Yu Jie's lead and said, "Then I'll go down and take a look. Follow me and don't talk."
Yu Jie replied: "I understand."
Chang Youfu breathed a sigh of relief: 'The Fourth Young Master has agreed to go out to meet the princes.' Then he took a deep look at Yu Jie and thought to himself: 'The Fourth Young Master really listens to Yu Jie's words.'
He gave a few more instructions and then got out of the car.
The princes outside the door were all waiting impatiently. Even the Duke of Zheng, Chang Sheng, couldn't neglect them, right? Moreover, Chang Sheng's daily behavior was not like someone who neglected others.
Someone was wondering, when the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a child of only seven or eight years old walked out, followed by an adult in his forties. At a glance, everyone recognized him as Chang, the second steward of Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Blessed; as for the last person who came out, all the princes ignored him.
Chang Youfu saluted and said, "Princes, my fourth young master is going out today, and both the eldest and second masters are not here."
"My fourth young master is still young and has never met anyone alone. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
Chang Jifeng then said according to Chang Youfu's previous instructions: "Chang Jifeng, a young man, has met several princes."
When the eight princes heard this, they knew that this was the recently recovered only son of the former Duke of Zheng, Chang Mao, who had been granted the title of hereditary commander by Yunxi. They heard that Chang Sheng treated him better than his own son.
Yunzhen reacted the fastest. He stepped forward and took Chang Jifeng's hand and said, "So it's my fourth cousin. I'll ask my eldest brother to call you cousin. From now on, we will often interact with each other."
"It's not convenient for me to live in the palace now. When I leave the palace and build a mansion, I will often visit my cousin to play. My cousin will teach you Kung Fu. Even if it is not as good as the Chang family's ancestral Kung Fu, it will still be good for you to gain experience."
Zhu Jiye, an all-rounder, also came up and said, "Brother of the Chang family, I have already opened a house to live outside. You can come and play with me." Although he did not say who he was, Chang Youfu knew him.
Of course Zhu Mengjiong also joined in. As for Gao Xu, he was not used to dealing with strangers, so he didn't know what to say for a moment. When he thought about what to say, he found that the words he had prepared had already been said by others, and it was too late.
I thought about it again and said a few words casually.
The other princes didn't do that well. After all, they were princes. Even if they didn't offend the Duke of Zheng, there was no need to pat the Chang family's horses. But they all came up and said a few words. Only Zhu Xianyao snorted, but nothing happened.
explain.
When Chang Jifeng saw so many people talking to him, he suddenly became at a loss. Chang Youfu had forgotten everything he had taught him. Chang Youfu hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they dispersed and went their separate ways.
Chang Youfu took them back to Zheng Guogong's Mansion and immediately came to see Chang Sheng. After explaining what he had done out of the mansion today, he said: "Second Master, when we came back today, we met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qi.
, and the Prince of Gaoyang... and other six princes and highnesses."
Chang Sheng said: "Then how did you greet them?"
Chang Youfu said: "Second Master, it was the Fourth Young Master who went out to greet us."
Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Oh, Jifeng can also greet guests?" Then he said to Chang Jifeng standing aside: "Not bad, there is improvement."
Chang Jifeng said: "Uncle, I just said a word, and they all came up to talk to me. I panicked and didn't know what to do. The butlers were all greeting me."
Chang Sheng still said: "That's an improvement, I should praise you." He then said to Chang Youfu: "I'll give you a piece of silk from the palace." Then he said to Jing: "Add your monthly salary for a month."
Chang Youfu immediately knelt down and said, "Second Master, the reward is too heavy. It's better to take it back."
Chang Sheng said: "I said I would reward you, just accept it with peace of mind." Chang Youfu accepted it. Yu Jie didn't think of refusing from the beginning, and when he saw Chang Youfu accepted it, he felt at ease.
Thank you very much.
Chang Sheng said a few words to Chang Jifeng about his "alone" leaving the house today, and then asked him to leave.
When returning to the courtyard where Chang Jifeng lived, Yu Jie said to Chang Jifeng: "Your current home is really luxurious. There are so many servants in the house to serve me and I still want it. So much money is said to be a reward." He just came.
I haven't been to Beijing for a long time and I'm still not used to it.
Chang Jifeng said to him: "Ordinarily, my uncle and third uncle take good care of me now, and my mother (Chang Mao's wife Feng Shi) is also very good to me, as if I am her biological son. The family is well-dressed and well-dressed."
, I never imagined such a good day when I was in the village."
"But sometimes I want to go back to the village, play in the mud with my friends, get covered in mud, and then get scolded by the adults, strip myself naked and throw it into the river to take a bath. Sometimes I want to go back to the village.
"
Yu Jie said: "Well, me too, I always want to play in the mud, but I never let you go, and I won't let you stay naked. It's really frustrating." Yu Jie nodded vigorously, as if to tell Chang Jifeng that he had something to do.
How much I want to play in the mud with my bare buttocks.
Chang Jifeng looked at Yu Jie speechlessly. He wanted to tell Yu Jie his feelings, but Yu Jie always changed the topic to other directions and could not understand his feelings at all.
But Chang Jifeng still felt that only Yu Jie could talk and play with him.
==================================================
=====
The news about Yu Jie being rewarded spread in the Duke of Zheng's palace, which immediately made two more people dissatisfied. Chang Ji Yao and Chang Ji Sheng said: "The second uncle is too partial. Jifeng just came out to meet a few princes, and he didn't even say anything."
To put it bluntly, the second uncle actually rewarded the second housekeeper and the little book boy from Jifeng! How can it be like this!"
Chang Jisheng also received: "That's right, even if Jifeng is the only child in the uncle's family, he can't be so partial. Let's talk to the eldest brother."
Chang Jiyao said: "Pull him down and talk to the elder brother. Then he must say that we have no brotherly love. He is the future Duke of Zheng. He doesn't worry about anything. He is different from us."
Chang Jisheng said: "I just think it's unfair. How about setting him up to make a big embarrassment?"
Chang Jiyao said: "If you are not afraid of having your butt beaten by dad, then you can go ahead, but don't say you told me."
Chang Jisheng said discouraged: "I'm afraid too."
The two brothers were speechless and could only leave with reluctance.
==================================================
======
In the next few days, the blood transfusion and strong alcohol cleaning proposed by Yun Xi spread in the capital. Contrary to what Yun Xi thought, everyone was mainly concerned about the blood transfusion, not the strong alcohol disinfection as he thought.
Yunxi later understood that at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang severely restricted the use of grain to make wine, and what everyone drank daily was fermented wine, not the distilled wine that became popular in later generations. Therefore, there were very few distilled wines that could be considered spirits, and ordinary people could not drink them.
Since then, like blood transfusion, it is something that has nothing to do with the common people.
And blood transfusion is so sensational, it attracts much more attention than strong alcohol cleansing, so everyone is talking about blood transfusion.
As for the family of military generals, they are even more concerned about blood transfusions. Even for generals, it is inevitable to be injured in battle. Maybe they are unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow and bleed to death. If blood transfusions really work, there will be more of them.
The certainty of staying alive during a war.
Every family is looking for doctors to ask if it is true, but the doctors, including the imperial doctor at Taiyuan Hospital, don’t know, and they are very annoyed by the questions.
Others asked Yunxi directly. That afternoon, after Yunxi finished reviewing the essays at hand, Bai Xiguang, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, came to see Yunxi.
