Chapter 264 Wanming Bingquan(1/2)
Hu's old house.
Observation deck.
As the crowd gathered around Zhu Yuanzhang and walked up to the viewing platform, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Liquan gushing out from the rockery opposite. His eyes lit up and his eyes widened in surprise.
"It is indeed a wonder in the world!"
Zhu Yuanzhang watched the sweet spring pouring down into the spring pool specially built by Hu Weiyong, and couldn't help but praise it loudly.
Empress Ma and Princess Anqing couldn't help but look curious and talked in low voices.
Zhu Biao and other four princes accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang, all with smiles on their faces. Since they came first, they had already seen this scene. Although they seemed very calm at this time, their expressions of surprise at that time were no less than Zhu Yuanzhang's.
.
Hu Fei stood aside, accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang, and secretly stuffed a piece of fruit into Princess Anqing without saying a word.
This scene happened to be seen by Queen Ma, but Queen Ma did not say anything, she just pursed her lips and showed a smile of relief and approval.
"Father, our Ming Dynasty has now unified the world, and now there is a sweet spring falling from the sky. It has profound meaning and can be said to be a good omen."
"Not only did the Hu family produce a talented man with both civil and military skills, but now Liquan comes from the sky. It seems that God is telling us that with the Hu family assisting my father, the Ming Dynasty will be as stable as a mountain!"
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."
At this moment, Zhu Di, who was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed his hands and said with emotion.
"The time when my father will rule the world is just around the corner!"
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"
As King Yan Zhu Di finished speaking, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, King Qin and King Jin on the side also took the opportunity to echo.
"The Hu family is willing to serve His Majesty and the imperial court till death!"
Hu Weiyong also took the opportunity to show his loyalty.
After listening to everyone's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, nodding his head frequently with a satisfied look on his face.
"Hu Xiang, it's okay to work hard, but don't talk about death. I'm still pointing out that you will accompany me to dominate the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong and said with a smile.
"Wei Chen will do his best to assist His Majesty!"
Hu Weiyong nodded and said decisively.
"You are thinking this way, but I don't know if your son is thinking this way. I have asked him to join the court and serve as an official several times, but he just refuses to let go. I don't know what he is thinking in his heart.
"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, turned to look at Hu Fei, and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"this..."
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Weiyong was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond, because he always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was implying something.
"Your Majesty, would you like to just watch the wonders today and not talk about these things?"
"Since even you say this is a good omen for the Ming Dynasty, why not come and taste the sweet spring water falling from the sky now."
Hu Fei forced a smile on his face, changed the topic, and turned to look at the butler Qin Hai who was standing under the observation deck.
"Old Qin, hurry up and get a bowl for your majesty, the empress, and all your highnesses and princesses to try."
Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei shouted to Qin Hai.
Qin Hai agreed, immediately ordered his servants to fetch a few bowls on the spot, and went to the edge of the rockery with a ladder to pick up a few bowls.
Standing on the observation deck, Zhu Yuanzhang and his family watched bowls of sweet spring wine being brought to the observation deck, with their faces filled with anticipation.
After everyone tasted it, they couldn't help but praise it.
"Not bad!"
"Sweet and delicious, it leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth, with endless aftertaste!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip, he looked at the spring water in the bowl and couldn't help but praise it loudly.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, several others also agreed.
"Your Majesty, in that case, why not give the spring a name?"
Hu Fei smiled, squeezed Hu Weiyong away, got in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked with a smile.
"Name it? Okay!"
"But what should I call it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, and then began to think deeply.
But after much thinking, I still couldn't come up with a good idea, so I turned to look at my four sons.
"Have you guys thought of a name for this spring?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sons and asked slowly.
The four sons looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, they each reported a name, but it didn't sound very special, so they were all rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, the naming task should be left to Hu Fei. He is the God of Poetry in the Ming Dynasty, and Liquan was born in the Hu family's old house, so it is most appropriate for him to name it."
At this time, Zhu Biao hesitated and said with a smile.
"Huh? That's right, Hu Fei, can you think of any names?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, turned to look at Hu Fei, and asked with a smile.
"To report back to Your Majesty, I have indeed thought of a name, but I don't know if it suits Your Majesty's wishes."
Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
"Oh? Tell me."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested and asked loudly.
"Since the fall of the sweet spring from the sky is a good omen, how about we keep our original intention and take the word Wanming first? Ten thousand years will be the brightest day of the Ming Dynasty, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Hu Fei smiled and asked slowly.
"Wan Ming? Ming Dynasty, for thousands of generations?"
"Good name!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise loudly.
"Well, not bad, not bad! As expected of the Ming Dynasty Poet!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and couldn't help but nodded.
"Hu Fei, why do I look at you as if you had thought of this name a long time ago? Did you just deliberately tease me? How about you, in order to show off your talents, let us lose face in front of our father?"
Zhu Di looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help laughing.
"real?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei sideways and asked hesitantly.
"I didn't expect that Wei Chen's little thoughts would be seen through by His Highness King Yan so quickly."
Hu Fei smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said.
Hearing Hu Fei's admission, Zhu Yuanzhang did not mind it, but couldn't help laughing, causing everyone around him to burst into laughter.
"Hu Fei, you just said that you should take the word Wanming first. Does that mean you have more than two words for the name?"
Then, Zhu Di followed Hu Fei's words and continued to ask.
Hu Fei nodded with a smile and winked at Zhu Di.
"More than two words? What is the full name?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested and continued to ask.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after I saw this spring for the first time and saw it flowing continuously and converging into a stream, I thought of the word Wanming, which means that our country, the Ming Dynasty, will last forever."
"Immediately afterwards, Wei Chen thought of using this spring to develop a kind of mineral water and sell it nationwide, so that all the people can have a taste and let them feel the eternal blessings of our Ming Dynasty."
Hu Fei smiled, cupped his hands and said.
"mineral water?"
After hearing Hu Fei's answer, everyone present asked in unison, with curious faces on their faces.
"What is mineral water?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but ask again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the so-called mineral water refers to wild, unpolluted spring water like this. This spring is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the effect of strengthening the body and curing diseases, especially for gastrointestinal diseases."
"If the people of the Ming Dynasty can drink it, they will all be strong and healthy. A strong people will make the country strong, and they will be able to protect our Ming Dynasty forever!"
Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and explained seriously.
"Okay, okay! Not bad!"
