It was a bright spring day with a clear blue sky, fresh air and clean river water. The forests on a riverside peninsula were lush green, and sometimes birds flew over the water and into the woods, creating a peaceful atmosphere between heaven and earth.
Three men carried a box up the hillside. Veda said, "This is it." They then put the box under a tree and opened the wooden board. The fat man inside immediately made a "woooo... woooo..." sound, and then gasped rapidly, "huffing and puffing", as if he was tired from lying in the box and being carried up.
"Mr. Zheng, please watch over the people first. Wang Bin and I will go over there to dig the hole. We will take turns to rest in a while." Wei Da said again.
Zheng He nodded and said, "Let's follow Brother Wei's arrangements."
So the two men carried the hoes and went behind some trees and started digging.
"Brother Wei, there is something I have been wanting to tell you, but I only mentioned it tod
The black-sailed boat was quietly docked by the river. The cool river water hit the side of the boat from time to time, making a "ding-dong" sound, and occasionally the chirping of birds could be heard around."Wow!" Wang Bin shouted on the deck. When Zhu Gaoxu turned around, he saw a crucian carp hanging on the fishing rod being lifted out of the water.The firewood in the clay stove on the boat was burning vigorously, and white steam was coming out of the pot. Wang Bin grabbed the crucian carp, knocked it against the side of the boat twice, and then took out a knife to start cutting open the fish's belly.Du Qianrui, wearing an old dress and carrying a bamboo basket, also came to the boat. Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to her. Du Qianrui's eyes wandered, but she still put her hand in Zhu Gaoxu's hand. Zhu Gaoxu then pulled her up."What kind of leaves are they? They're not poisonous?" Wang Bin turned his head and glanced at the bamboo basket.
The bright red morning sun had just emerged from the Jiangdong Gate Tower, and a long queue of people and vehicles had formed at the gate. There were already quite a few people at dawn, mostly peddlers and hawkers, and after the sun came out, there were even more people of all kinds.Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui sat in the carriage, Wang Bin drove the carriage, Wei Da and Zheng He each led a horse, and the group lined up for nearly half an hour before reaching the city gate. There were two rows of armored soldiers at the city gate, questioning and searching one by one, no wonder so many people were blocked.The group was stopped without exception, and the general at the door said, "Everyone in the car get out!"Zhu Gaoxu obeyed and walked out of the carriage, then turned around and helped Du Qianrui get out of the carriage. Immediately, a soldier opened the curtain with a tassel and poked his head into the car to take a look.The general asked, "What are y
Outside the temple gate in the distance, the nun who had tripped immediately got up from the ground. From her movements, it seemed that she was furious! She rushed forward and swung her hand at the little nun's face, but she missed and was caught by the little nun.At this moment, the small door opened, and a teacher and several people came out. As soon as the little nun let go, he was slapped by the nun just now. The little nun stood there with his hands covering his face.The fight ended quickly, and a group of people stood there talking about something, but Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hear clearly. Seeing that there were so many people, he moved away from the window a little to avoid being seen.Zhu Gaoxu could guess that the group of people must be scolding the young nun. After all, in the temple, there are also differences in seniority and hierarchy. It was quite difficult for the young nun to dare to go against the elders.After a long time, the group of
The little nun crossed the stone-paved street and walked slowly towards this side. From time to time, passers-by passed by, blocking her figure. Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously tilted his head slightly to look at her.She was tall and well-developed. Women at that time did not have bras to support themselves, let alone padding. Most people looked flat and inconspicuous, but her front was pushed up very high, leaving the waist of her gown empty and looking very ill-fitting. But a woman's age was like the growth rings of a tree, which could not be modified or concealed. Judging from Xiao Ni's childish face and skin, she was not very old, and was estimated to be younger than Du Qianrui.Xiao Ni's face is natural, without any decoration on her body, so pure that she doesn't even have hair, only a layer of light green hair on her head, but she is still beautiful. Her posture is very straight, graceful and calm, and at a young age, she has a bit of wisdom and temperament, whic
Monk Qingyuan came once in the morning and then hurried back.The bright spring day of yesterday was gone, and the sky was gray and the clouds were thick. Two carriages passed through the alley, and Zhu Gaoxu sat in the carriage behind. He lifted the curtain and looked up, thinking that the rain was about to fall.Without a clock or the sun, I couldn't even estimate the time. I could only go by my feeling and it was roughly morning.The gloomy weather makes people feel stuffy and worried about getting caught in the rain. Just like Zhu Gaoxu's mood at the moment, his heart was hanging in the air. He could only bite the bullet, wait for time to pass by bit by bit, and follow the planned steps step by step.The carriage soon arrived at the street where incense and candles were sold. Zhu Gaoxu lowered the straw curtain, leaving only a gap, and continued to observe the scene outside.Almost all people who go to Jilong Mountain on the main road take th
In the noisy restaurant, the three people spoke in low voices, and they could only hear it if they leaned closer. The handsome young man Zhao Hui said, "I will follow Lord Li and surrender to the King of Yan. This is a big event for the entire Yi clan. How will the King of Yan reward us in the future?"This person was young, but very direct, and he quickly started negotiating terms.What Zhu Gaoxu was least afraid of was negotiating terms. He immediately responded in a deep voice, "With such status and great achievements, Lord Li will surely be the leader of all officials in the future! General Zhao will not be treated unfairly either. He will definitely be made a marquis and appointed as prime minister."Zhao Hui smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to be granted a title of lord or prime minister... I have not yet married a wife. I belong to the Song Dynasty clan and do not want to marry a woman of ordinary background. If I can marry a Ming princess,
In the imperial city, Zhu Yunwen walked quickly through the diagonal corridor with a gloomy face. The eunuchs behind him could only keep up with his pace by trotting.Zhu Yunwen walked into the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Gate, walked around the partition, and sat down on a chair. Immediately, a palace maid came in with tea. Wu Zhong took the tea cup from the palace maid's hand, held it in front of the emperor with both hands, and said in a flattering tone, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The dragon body is important."After taking the tea cup, Zhu Yunwen held it in his hand, gently fanned the water with the lid of the cup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and said nothing for a long time.After a while, Wu Zhong left Dongnuan Pavilion and came back. He whispered, "Your Majesty, Huang Siqing has been summoned to see you.""Ask him to come in and talk." Zhu Yunwen said.Huang Zicheng then entered and bowed. Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, "No nee
It is easy to find that the mezzanine was temporarily built after the tile house was repaired. If people sit on it and straighten their backs, they can touch the beams and tile roof.There were no windows, and it was very dark even in broad daylight. Fortunately, there was a small skylight between the overlapping tiles. It took Zhu Gaoxu's eyes a while to adjust before he could vaguely see the scenery on the next floor.Not only is this place short, it's also small. There was a layer of straw spread against the wall and a narrow straw mat on top, which took up almost the entire space. Pillows and a gray coarse quilt were placed neatly on the straw mat. In addition, there was only a rough wooden table placed at the end of the bed, with a few folded clothes placed on it and covered with a piece of cloth.Zhu Gaoxu only took a few glances and immediately discovered that although the upstairs was small and narrow, it was very clean and tidy.He held his br
