40 Great Shelves
The horse is the imperial horse in the palace. He is tall but has a very docile personality. Therefore, although Zhang Mingwei had never rode a horse in his previous life, he could still ride it.
However, Wang Erbiao was a little worried and leaned close to Zhang Mingwei to deal with possible situations.
After leaving the palace, he saw Zhang Mingwei looking around and looking excited, so he diligently introduced the surrounding situation. With his attitude, those who didn't know would think they were serving the emperor!
This scene made Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was following behind, wondered: Who is this gentleman? Even the father-in-law in the palace is so attentive. Is it because the emperor values him?
The emperor is not unfair to value people, but there are two different systems inside and outside the palace. No matter how you do, you will never lick the important officials outside the palace. At most, you only respect a little.
He was wondering when he heard Wang Erbiao suddenly say excitedly: "Sir, you'll arrive soon, the largest mansion in front is."
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he looked up.
On the spacious streets here, there are all high-ranking families. According to Wang Erbiao just now, Yan Song and Yan Shifan's residence during the Jiajing period were also here. It can be seen that the people living here are either rich or noble.
But even so, the mansion that Wang Erbiao refers to is the most conspicuous house. The two mighty stone lions at the door are bigger than those in other people's houses.
Thinking about it, this is the house outside the palace where the former Sili Supervisor and the Admiral of the East Factory is not good! However, it is his own now. Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but feel very moved that if he had changed his future generations, he would never come here. In the past ten, he would never be able to afford the house here even if he had worked hard for a lifetime.
He was thinking, and suddenly he heard someone at the door of his house pointing out and looking at it, then turned around and disappeared, but the sound was very loud, and even he could hear it: "... Come, come, the master is here..."
Obviously, this is going to report the message inside.
Zhang Mingwei heard it a little strange, so he asked Wang Erbiao: "Is there anyone inside?"
"Your Highness the Princess has arrived!" Wang Erbiao answered quickly.
When Li Ruolian, who had not spoken, couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, he said, "Who, princess, is this the princess's mansion?"
He seemed to remember that Zhang Mingwei was going back to his mansion, so why did he come to the princess’ mansion?
When Wang Erbiao heard his question, he closed his smile and said lightly: "This is the house of Mr., and His Majesty has just given him."
"..." When Li Ruolian heard this, he was a little confused.
However, the eunuch obviously had an attitude towards him and towards Zhang Mingwei as two people, which was more obvious in comparison. He was too lazy to speak, and he would know the answer later, so he was silent.
The weather in the capital in March is still a bit cold. What's more, the 15th year of Chongzhen is still in the Little Ice Age, so the climate is relatively colder.
Therefore, there are basically no people on this Chang'an Street, and the doors of houses are also closed. Only the side doors can occasionally see servants entering and leaving.
But even so, when these people saw Zhang Mingwei's group, they couldn't help but stop and watch. The man under the guards of a team of Jinyiwei's lieutenant was actually wearing a python suit. Who is this?
After looking for a while, after discovering Zhang Mingwei's place of visit, they disappeared at the door, obviously going back to the house to gossip.
Of course, Zhang Mingwei would not care about this anymore. His group walked slowly and came to the door of his house.
Good guy, just this gate alone can drive three cars side by side. The stone lion is very tall and the threshold is also very high. There is already a "Zhang Mansion" hanging on the horizontal plaque, with dragons flying and phoenix dancing. You can tell at a glance that it was written by a famous artist.
While he was sitting on the horse, he suddenly saw the door slowly opening and a group of people came out of it. Who else could the person in the head besides Princess Kunxing?
However, Princess Kunxing was underage and did not go out, so except for Zhang Mingwei, only Wang Erbiao knew him.
Seeing Princess Kunxing appear, Wang Erbiao did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly turned over and dismounted to greet him: "I have seen Princess Kunxing."
When Li Ruolian behind him heard this, he was shocked. It was really the princess’s mansion, but why was it Zhang’s mansion on the plaque? Is the princess here to visit?
This thought flashed like a flash of lightning in his heart. He did not dare to neglect it. He led his subordinates to immediately turn over and dismount and greet him: "I will command the Jinyiwei and commander Li Ruolian, and have met Princess Kunxing!"
However, what they never expected was that Princess Kunxing ignored them, but instead said to Zhang Mingwei with excitement: "Zhu Mai has met the master!"
The group of people she brought behind also greeted her.
As soon as Princess Kunxing said this, Li Ruolian, who was unaware of this, immediately suspected that his ear had made a mistake. He quickly looked up and saw that Princess Kunxing was really polite to Zhang Mingwei. So, his mouth opened wide and he was stunned...
At this time, only Zhang Mingwei was still riding on the horse. It was mainly because he was riding a horse for the first time. He couldn't be free to move up and down, and he was slow to move freely.
Now, before he got off the horse, he saw Princess Kunxing greeting him, so he reached out and signaled, "It's cold outside, why are you coming out?"
Although he was concerned when he heard what he said, he admitted that he was the princess and master indifferently, which made the nanny behind Princess Kunxing very dissatisfied. One of the older nannies said coldly: "What a big air, he really dared to receive the princess's gift!"
Although the princess had already told them that she was here to be the maid of the husband. However, this kind of thing was unheard of and they did not take it seriously. It is probably speculated that this might be the princess’s future husband appointed by the emperor.
Therefore, seeing Zhang Mingwei's response, he became dissatisfied with the qualifications.
Generally speaking, the princess and princesses are definitely stronger. If the princess is a little weaker, it is not that the princess is strong, but that the nanny is strong.
According to rumors, some princesses and princesses were completely manipulated by the nanny, and even if the couple had sex, they had to be agreed to by the nanny.
The two most famous nannies in the Ming Dynasty were the nurse of Emperor Tianqi; the other one was even more awesome, and they became the emperor's wife. Not only were they fifteen or sixteen years older, but they also asked the emperor to love her only. Such things are rare in later generations.
"That's right, I dare to sit and receive a gift immediately, and I'm unheard of it!" Another senior nanny also spoke coldly, looking very angry.
After they said that, they stood up first and then went to help the princess.
Seeing this, Princess Kunxing hurriedly said to them: "Don't be rude to sir... the master!"
However, her words obviously did not work much.
With the leadership of the two nannies, the other followers also stood up instead of waiting for Zhang Mingwei to speak.
To be honest, Zhang Mingwei was a little embarrassed to face this situation just now, after all, it was the first time. But when he saw this scene, he frowned. No matter what, he didn't want to have a group of people in his family who disrespect him.
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to dismount.
Li Ruolian, behind Zhang Mingwei, saw a conflict and did not dare to speak, pretending not to hear it. After all, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the princess and this gentleman was. As long as the gentleman was safe, he would do his duty.
Even from his heart, it was indeed a bit rude to see Zhang Mingwei facing Princess Kunxing, not only did he receive a big gift, but he also sat down on the horse and was condescending.
Although Wang Erbiao knew the relationship between Princess Kunxing and Zhang Mingwei, did he really think that relationship was true? Or, he was a slave in the palace and actually a servant of the princess. Faced with this situation, he was not qualified to say anything.
At this time, both of them were a little curious. Faced with this situation, would Zhang Mingwei admit his mistake immediately or would he say good things to reveal this section?
