Chapter 0248 Moving to a new house, Zhang's glory, and the limelight!
The Dog Emperor himself designed it.
After all, Zhu Youxiao was the only one who knew how to work as a carpenter in the Ming Dynasty, while Jiajing could make elixirs.
However, can this elixir be compared with Zhaizi?
Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, could reward you with leopards and tigers. If you kept them at home, would you dare to sleep at night?
All in all, the only emperor in the Ming Dynasty who knew how to work as a carpenter was Zhu Youxiao, and the only emperor who could personally work as a foreman for you was Zhu Youxiao.
This is an honor that no one gets.
And Zhu Youxiao also put some thought into it.
Spacious, bright and atmospheric
However, for Zhang Haogu, he really needs a house.
Although Eunuch Wei had previously said that he had given himself a house, this house was still a bit too small.
Later, Eunuch Wei gave him many maids. Sometimes, when the Dog Emperor thought about it, he would also send some maids to Zhang Haogu. Cooks, guards, and bearers all piled up together, which made his residence look very crowded.
.
This is completely incompatible with Zhang Haogu's status as a first-class official in the current dynasty.
When you are an official in the capital, your house is indeed a big deal. As an official, you naturally have to pay attention to your status. The place you live in cannot be too bad, and you cannot live with people from all walks of life. This obviously loses your status. Besides, it is more convenient to go to work.
On the ****** day, Zhang Haogu's house seemed a lot crowded.
Moving to a new home
Now Zhang Haogu also has a large family around him.
Zhang An, the chief steward and captain of the guard, and the various beautiful maids sent by Eunuch Wei before, in addition to a group of women that the Dog Emperor stuffed into his home, and some cooks and so on.
And there is Zhu Qiqi, the foster sister of the Dog Emperor.
Nowadays, Zhu Qiqi can be considered fair and beautiful. She no longer looks as thin as a bean sprout. It was the second year of Tianqi when I picked her up. Now it is the fourth year of Tianqi. She is already fourteen years old.
Zhang Haogu taught her how to read and write every day, and now the relationship between the two is very good.
It is no exaggeration to say that once Zhang Haogu moved, his family's population had exceeded nearly 300 people.
The mansion designed by the Dog Emperor himself covers an area of nearly one hundred acres, with several yards and bricks on the ground. These bricks are not ordinary bricks, but high-quality Qin bricks. There is a saying called Qin bricks and Han tiles.
These bricks were used in the palace.
The front door has three openings, the middle door is about two feet wide, with stone lions standing on both sides, and the threshold is also extremely high.
When Zhang Haogu came over, there were Jin Yiwei standing guard.
The guy standing guard is actually Tian Ergen.
When Tian Ergen saw Zhang Haogu, he immediately saluted: "Master Xiang!"
"Master Tian, why are you here in person?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help but laugh.
Tian Ergen immediately said: "The emperor has given you a new house. It is a humble honor for me to stand here for you for a while!"
Zhang Haogu glanced at Zhang An, who immediately stepped forward to reward him.
If you like money, you just have to think about it.
There is no need to give too much.
Tian Ergen took the money and immediately smiled: "Please, Prime Minister, I humbly resign!"
Immediately, Tian Ergeng evacuated the mansion with Jin Yiwei.
Zhang Haogu and Zhu Qiqi walked in.
As soon as we entered the door, the inside suddenly opened up. There was no patio in the front yard, but it was actually a small lake.
Zhang Haogu took a breath secretly and said that although he often called Zhu Youxiao a dog emperor, Zhu Youxiao definitely had a good aesthetic and artistic vision, and he was very clever in building a house.
Naturally, we are striving for excellence.
This lake is connected to a river outside, ensuring that the water in this lake is living water.
A water gate was set up, and an artificial pavilion was set up in the lake. There is a stone guardrail with a cobblestone path leading to the stone pavilion. The overall layout makes people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this house here, none of the princes of the Ming Dynasty were as impressive as Zhang Haogu.
Speaking of which, this house had some connection with Zhang Haogu. It was the house of Wuding Marquis Guo Peimin. It was an old house for hundreds of years. After the dog emperor ransacked the house, he directly ripped it off and started redesigning it.
Zhu Qiqi was stunned when he saw it, and couldn't help but said: "This house, this house, is too big. There is actually a lake here. Can we raise fish here in the future?"
"You can raise whatever you want, even a bastard!" Zhang Haogu couldn't help but laugh.
"Bastard doesn't sound good and is unlucky!" Zhu Qiqi shook his head.
Zhang Haogu smiled: "It's okay, as long as you like it!"
Zhang Haogu casually asked Zhang An to make arrangements. In the past, the house given to him by Eunuch Wei could only accommodate about a hundred people. It seemed a bit crowded with so many of his servants piled together.
This new house has more than 500 rooms. It has a front hall, a small hall, a flower hall, and a back hall. There are also several attics and small courtyards in the courtyard. It is even more luxurious than the mansions of later generations.
It would be even more perfect if there was an air conditioner.
Zhang Haogu was heartbroken.
Now Zhang Haogu can also see that this thing cannot be made in a short time. It is likely that the Dog Emperor has already started to prepare it. It is even possible that he made it when he went to Shandong.
For a moment, Zhang Haogu felt a little moved.
The Dog Emperor is really very kind to himself.
The glory of the Zhang family is now unparalleled!
Zhang Haogu was quite interested and took Zhu Qiqi to look around. Zhu Qiqi's legs and feet were sore from walking.
After a while, there were knocks on the door.
Then, Eunuch Wei came in person.
Today, the relationship between Zhang Haogu and Eunuch Wei is much closer than before. The two have already agreed to cooperate. It would be okay if Zhu Youxiao really doesn't have any accidents. If the new king really takes the throne,
It's okay that he is the son of the Dog Emperor, but if he is like Chongzhen, it will directly limit his power.
In any case, it is impossible for Chongzhen to truly grasp the real power.
It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two people is closer than before. Besides, Zhang Haogu still led Eunuch Wei to do some cloth business, and Eunuch Wei also made a lot of money in the past two years.
"Brother!" Zhang Haogu greeted Eunuch Wei with a smile, and Eunuch Wei also brought a lot of money to celebrate Zhang Haogu.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a few words, but before they could say anything, they saw Zhang An coming to report that the Dog Emperor was here in person.
He came with his beautiful Queen Zhang.
The Dog Emperor is here in person!
Zhang Haogu was not surprised and hurriedly got up with Eunuch Wei to meet the Dog Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao saw Zhang Haogu, he immediately raised his hand: "Master, please get up quickly. What do you think? Do you like the house I gave you? I designed it myself!"
