Chapter 494 Anguo Princess Zhu Yurong
The golden stone rhinoceros horn is a tribute item. The rhinoceros horn is a tribute to the evil. There has been no trace of the rhinoceros in the Central Plains for a long time.
This rewarded Wu Youwei with a root.
Wu Youwei originally wanted to go to see the lanterns at night, but Wantong not only dressed him in a very dazzling gold brocade dress, but also forced him to wear a mink cloak and a gilt crown inlaid with night pearls on his head. Even in the bright lights, it is so bright and bright.
When you go out, no matter where you are, the common people will know at a glance that they are either rich or noble. For the common people at the root of the imperial city, eyesight is very important, so they all stay away from such dignitaries.
Not to mention detours, at least they won't get too close, for fear that something will be disliked or punished by the nobles, or even if there is such a young man who is jealous, it will easily hurt Chi Yu.
This kind of Wu Youwei walked out like a moving light bulb, very conspicuous!
Wu Youwei was speechless!
But Wantong insisted on making it look like this, and made the adults and children in the family wear very bright clothes.
Because Wu Youwei suffered an innocent disaster, everyone could understand Wantong's nervousness, but it was so conspicuous... Finally, everyone went out to look at the lanterns, and then took a look at Wu Youwei....
Wu Youwei acted as the leader of the team, but this time none of the children younger than five years old came...
Although the news was concealed, there was a lot of news about Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's collective dispatch. Even in the first month, many people knew about it.
People close to him all came to visit Wu Youwei.
Especially Luo Lun and Li Dongyang thought they were Wu Youwei's "elders", so they couldn't do anything to greet him, so they taught him gently, and when they went out to watch the excitement, they had to follow people around.
Wu Youwei was pierced by the evil voice of the person who cared about him, nagging so badly, Wantong just watched from the sidelines, it was extremely miserable, but unfortunately, no one rescued him.
After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the lantern market ends, everything returns to the right track, and the court begins to write.
On February [-], the dragon looked up.
After the celebration, Renxu, the number of cashiers in the nuclear world treasury.
It is the month, exempting Zhejiang, Shanxi and other places from taxation and grain.
At the same time, all the scholars from all over the world gathered in the capital again, because the exam was about to take place in March.
Xiao Mingde took the exam in April. He took the Tongsheng Exam. He took three exams in a row. If he passed the exam, he would be a scholar.
And this time happened to be the vernal equinox, when Zhang Luo plowed in spring.
All these major events were squeezed together, and the imperial court was at full strength, very busy.
On the other side, Wu Youwei was also working with His Royal Highness to prepare for spring farming and the imperial examination. His Royal Highness has always been very curious about the imperial examination.
However, Wu Youwei left this opportunity to explain to Luo Lun and the others, they were all the people who had passed the examination and passed the first prize.
Sure enough, after a few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not interested in the imperial examination anymore. What he meant was: "The explanations of the gentlemen have already been understood, which is boring."
He's just a teenage curiosity.
It's not an exam like ordinary children.
Wu Youwei smiled happily: "Well, come on, come on, what do you plan to plant in your small vegetable garden this year?"
"Grow garlic!" His Royal Highness has a plan for this: "I heard that if you plant garlic in spring, you can harvest it in summer. It's amazing. I just want to try growing garlic."
"Yes!" Wu Youwei said: "And the land planted with garlic is not easy to grow insects."
This is the experience of the later generations who planted greenhouses for many years. Because garlic is very overbearing, it is usually planted every three to five years in the general land, and there are few insects.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" His Royal Highness thinks that it is suitable to plant garlic: "Then we must plant it and see. When the garlic is finished, we will plant autumn cabbage and eat it as spicy cabbage."
Because of the refreshing taste of spicy cabbage, it has become a new favorite on the dining table of the people of Ming Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Zhou especially likes spicy cabbage and eats porridge; Emperor Xianzong likes fried rice with spicy cabbage.
"Okay!" Wu Youwei was happy to let him know about farming.
Only by understanding the hard work of the people at the bottom can one be a good leader. Look at the leaders of later generations in China, which one has not suffered?Have been to the countryside?Ever planted?
Time passed slowly, Ching Ming Festival, ancestor worship.
In the ancestral hall, Wu Youwei told about Wu Mingde's examination for fame, and prayed to the deceased elders to bless their grandson to pass the examination smoothly.
In addition, some people from Taowen Academy were going to take the imperial examination. Wu Youwei followed them to sacrifice. Taowen Academy has special statues of Confucius, Mencius, and other Confucian immortals, and they have to sacrifice once a year.
It's just that this year is extra grand, Wu Youwei even offered three animal sacrifices, just to ask the sages to bless his disciples with a smooth imperial examination.
Although it's a bit superstitious, who can explain clearly, isn't it the work of ghosts and gods for him to travel through time?
After the sacrifice, all the examinees got ready one after another, and Wu Youwei also asked people to arrange for them, especially the doctor. After the imperial examination, no matter how the body was, the doctor was required to come to check the pulse.
At the same time, this is also an opportunity for people in Xinglin Medical College to practice...
In the third month of Xinmao, Wang Hua and other Jinshi were bestowed, and their backgrounds were poor.
The imperial court's grand ceremony for talents was held lively, while Wu Youwei was concerned about his son's exam.
In April, the childbirth test began.
Like many years ago, Wu Youwei waited at the door for his son to come out.
It's just that many years ago he was waiting for his nephew, but this time he was waiting for his son.
Wantong was waiting with him.
"Are you free from errands?" Wu Youwei was a little surprised, Wantong is usually very busy, why should he accompany him to drink tea and wait for others now?
"Give yourself a vacation." Wan Tong said, "I will take the exam with you."
"Oh." Wu Youwei brought him a piece of red bean cake: "It's boring to accompany the exam, how about we play chess?"
Anyway, idle is idle.
But Wantong shook his head: "No Reversi!"
Wu Youwei is a bad chess player, but Wantong is more interested in military chess than Reversi.
So the two of them waited in the restaurant while playing chess. During this period, Wu Youwei regretted countless moves, and Wantong didn't give him any accommodation.
After several days of exams, he finally passed the exam. Xiao Mingde actually won a small triple.
Wu Youwei was overjoyed: "Not bad, not bad!"
Little Sanyuan, most people can't pass the exam.
However, the Wu family has always kept a low profile, and only Wu Youwei has a higher official position in the court. The others are either county magistrates or magistrates. There is no high-ranking official, so no one pays attention.
As a result, Wu Youwei was only happy for two days when someone came to the door.
"Who are you talking about?" Wu Youwei was a little confused.
"For your eldest son!" The person who came was a famous matchmaker nearby, with a round face in a red dress, and a fat and lucky appearance: "This is a happy event!"
"No, that, I haven't thought about showing my son a wife!" Wu Youwei quickly refused, how old is Xiao Mingde?
Only sixteen years old.
I just passed the junior triple exam, and I'm still a high school student in later generations, daring to have a partner is purely a typical example of puppy love.
Will definitely be invited by a teacher like him to parents!
"It's 16 years old, it's not too young, and if you have a few more children in two years, you will be a grandfather!" The words of the big red matchmaker were really shocking.
Wu Youwei became even more melancholy when he heard the word "grandfather". He is already a grandfather now, but he is a half-way daughter. This son has been raised since he was a child, so this will make him feel old, okay?
I really didn't want to talk about it, so I sent the matchmaker away in a good voice, and the housekeeper gave me ten taels of silver to thank the matchmaker: "Please bear with me, my master loves the young master like an eyeball, but the tutor It's also strict, the Eldest Young Master doesn't consider marriage until he fails to become a Jinshi..."
The big red matchmaker sighed, and accepted the reward: "I didn't say that I didn't even ask which family my daughter is from, so I really don't think about it?"
"We can't talk about this matter, who knows what the master is thinking." The housekeeper smiled and sent him away.
These matchmakers who often walk around the streets are not to be offended, if they get upset and ruin the reputation of the master and the young master everywhere, that would be bad.
After sending them away, Wu Youwei changed into casual clothes and went to Tao Wen Academy to have a look. They had passed the entrance examination for children, so they were scholars.
Jinshi and rank are the most basic. If you want to pass the exam, you can do it, but I am afraid that you will not be able to pass the fourth rank in the future.
So although they passed the exam, they did not relax, but continued to add meals, and there are Juren and Jinshi waiting for them to take the exam!
The teaching of Tao Wen Academy is very rigorous, especially the imperial examination. Because of Zhang Sheng's departure and Wu Youwei's return, Wu Youwei is now the head of the mountain here.
What's more, the relatives of the royal family all attend classes here, and the education work of the princes is especially the top priority.
Now the prince's position as the crown prince is getting more and more stable, and the prince is indeed outstanding and getting bigger and bigger, but there is no guarantee that other princes will not have that kind of thought.
Ideological and moral education is very important!
Wu Youwei also attached great importance to the education of the princes, giving them lessons in person, and fully developing their various interests, such as chemical experiments, handicraft classes, and so on.
The Emperor Hongzhi in history, and now the Second Prince, he actually likes to read books very much!
His ambition is to educate the barbarians, and I hope everyone can speak authentic Ming Dynasty Mandarin. For this reason, this child is serious about learning pinyin.
And the third prince actually liked foreign languages, so he taught Mongolian and Japanese with the foreign students at school.
The fourth prince is interested in martial arts, but his body is not suitable for martial arts, at most he can only practice self-defense, and he wants to lead troops to fight... It seems impossible.
Since becoming the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no vassal king who leads the army.
The fifth prince...the fifth prince is also interested in military affairs, but he is still young, and he spends more time being mischievous, practicing martial arts more, and less time studying. When he asks about various military books, he becomes confused.
The six, seven, eighty-three princes are still little brats.
The princes have been educated, looked at their sons, and found that they were in a good state of mind. They were not complacent because they passed the junior three yuan exam. They were still studying hard, so they didn't bother, and went back to Moring Villa.
It was only when he was lying in the courtyard at night looking at the stars that Wu Youwei realized that it had only rained three times during this long period of time.
This is obviously a drought!
Fortunately, they have a Moling Lake here, with its own spring, so the surrounding vegetation will be lush.
But crops are not necessarily.
Sure enough, Xia Siyue Gengshen ordered the ministers to repair the province with the long drought and haze.
Wantong came back and secretly chatted with Wu Youwei: "Your Majesty, this is preemptive! Some courtiers even said that the emperor made the emperor sin against himself. What's wrong with the emperor? Why should he sin against himself? There are also members of the Wang family, Wanting the emperor to release the confinement of the queen, even Princess Fengyang went to intercede. After so many years, they still can't understand."
"The emperor is not that kind of person, the more you force him, the more counterproductive it will be." What those in power hate most is being persecuted.
"However, even if they don't intercede, Queen Wang will probably be released soon." Wantong lay side by side with him and looked at the stars: "They are too anxious."
"Huh?" Wu Youwei didn't quite understand.
"Because the princess is about to come out and get married." Wantong said quietly: "The princess mansion has been built."
Wu Youwei was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to pull Wantong: "Good boy!"
Wantong has never raised a daughter, and his son was adopted halfway, but he watched the eldest princess and other four children grow up. The eldest sister has not enjoyed any benefits from the family all her life, so he always wants to compensate the eldest sister. four children.
It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest nephew would become the prince and the emperor in the future. This was a surprise, but that's his nephew, right?
The eldest princess descended from the palace, Wantong started preparations very early,
Wu Qiong in Yunnan alone was chased several times, because Wantong heard that Wu Qiong's perfume was making progress, so he wanted to use the perfume when the eldest princess came out.
And Wu Qiong also wanted to play the golden signboard of perfume when the eldest princess got married.
In addition, the seaside also buys a variety of precious ingredients such as swallow abalone and shark's fin.
Even Wang Zhi and the others sent back a lot of rare and expensive decorations such as corals.
The glass factory is even more powerful, and all the windows of the princess mansion are covered with glass.
Now everything is ready, at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the scenery is just right, the eldest princess's wedding is still ten days away.
"That's right!" Wu Youwei thought for a while: "After all, the queen is the mother of the country."
The status of the eldest princess is also considered special, she is the first child of Emperor Xianzong, and she is born of the imperial concubine. Speaking of it, she should be on an equal footing with Princess Fengyang.
It's just that one is "long" and the other is "di".
"Now, judging by the emperor's appearance, I'm afraid he won't let her out." Wantong gloated, "Who made the Wang family so stupid!"
If the royal family didn't take any action, the emperor would let the princess out of the Kunning Palace due to the eldest princess leaving the palace, but now, it's hard to say.
Sure enough, ten days later, the eldest princess left the palace and descended.
Ten miles of red makeup, talking about the emperor's posture of marrying his daughter, Emperor Xianzong wished to move all his private treasury to the eldest princess. When he said goodbye, Emperor Xianzong finally couldn't help crying: "You are also my daughter when you leave the palace. Go back to the palace often to see your father and your mother and concubine."
"Daughter remember." The eldest princess bowed again: "Father and emperor take care of the dragon body, mother and concubine take care of the phoenix body."
Wan Zhen'er also burst into tears: "Hey, you and your son-in-law need to live a good life."
That's right!
Emperor Xianzong was willful again. He didn't let the Queen Wang out, but let Wan Zhen'er sit in the high hall of his parents.
But because the eldest princess was born by Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er is now an imperial concubine, she is the deputy queen, and holds the Phoenix Seal on behalf of the queen, so it can barely be justified.
So now it is thanks to the father, mother and concubine, not the father and mother.
Emperor Xianzong bestowed on the princess the title of "Princess Anguo" on the spot.
This is an amazing title.
Because there are generally three kinds of titles for princesses, the first one is named after the country, such as Princess Ning, Princess Huo, Princess Qi, Princess Chen, etc. in history, they represent the princess of the "country", which is the emperor. Appreciate and affirm them.
The second type is like Princess Fengyang, whose title is named after the place, and generally their food town is also there. The historically famous Princess Guantao, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had her fiefdom in Handan Guantao, which is located in the present day. Guantao County, Handan City, Hebei Province, so it is also called Princess Guantao.
The third and most common is to use a good name: named after various commendatory words, such as Princess Taiping, Princess Wencheng, Princess Anle, Princess Ningding, etc. in Tang Dynasty, which means to place good wishes.
In addition, Princess Anguo was given the boudoir name "Zhu Yurong" and the word "Yinghua".
The eldest princess is a filial child. After thanking her father, queen, mother and concubine, she went to Kunning Palace and bid farewell to the "mother queen" at the gate.I went to Qingning Palace again to bid farewell to the emperor's grandmother.
She gave a set of summer clothes to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Rong'er made a summer shirt for the imperial grandmother, using cloth and silk woven from spices, to avoid mosquitoes and insects, and the imperial grandmother can also go out to see flowers and plants in summer." , so as not to be disturbed by mosquitoes."
"Okay, good boy!" The Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't bear to part with the eldest princess. This child is sensible, just like her mother and concubine. She is always so caring and gentle.
If the Zhou family didn't have a suitable candidate, she would have wanted the Zhou family to be the master.
When she returned to Zhaode Palace from Qingning Palace and bid farewell to her father, mother and concubine again, the Eldest Princess put on her red hijab and got on the chariot.
Wantong personally escorted them, Li Dongyang and the others were the ones who presided over the wedding, Wu Youwei was there to watch the excitement, and the one who pressed the sedan chair was the current Crown Prince.
Wu Youwei had a great experience of the luxury of "the emperor marrying his daughter". Compared with when he married his younger sisters and daughters, it was ten blocks better!
The dowry alone continued from the gate of the palace to the gate of the princess mansion.
Wu Youwei also added two boxes of makeup: a box of very tacky gold, about 1000 taels;
In addition, there are ten bolts of triangular cloth of various colors shipped from Shanghai.
But walking this way, everyone smelled a fragrance of flowers.
Afterwards, someone inquired and found out that the "perfume" came from Yunnan as a tribute.
After Wu Qiong's perfume was produced, none of them were sold, and all of them were used for advertising.
The wedding of the eldest princess made Yunnan Perfume a success. Afterwards, the noble ladies and daughters in Beijing and China went crazy for the perfume.
The perfume that Wu Qiong made in Yunnan was very impressive, and the military force of the Ming Dynasty was strong enough. The Mu Palace in Yunnan even specially wrote a memorial to Emperor Xianzong, praising Wu Qiong.Of course, Mu Wangfu also made a lot of money.
For this reason, Emperor Xianzong promoted Wu Qiong again...He directly became the Chief Envoy of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan!
The original chief envoy was transferred back to Nanjing, where he was honored as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing.
There are thirteen Daoists in the whole Ming Dynasty, but there are only thirteen political envoys. Wu Qiong is so young, and he has assumed the post of a provincial chief envoy!
The Chief Envoy, also known as Fantai, is in charge of the wealth and personnel of a province.
Is the governor's deputy.
Although it is from the province of Yunnan, but the official position is high, from the second rank.
Let's put it this way, Wu Qiong is now roughly equivalent to the deputy governor plus the director of the finance department and the director of the personnel department.
