Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 196
On the way home, Zhu Zhen saw that it was still early, so while eating candy, he ordered Wang Ma to go to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

"Hey." Wang Defa immediately told the driver to turn to Dengfu Lane across the street.

"Your Highness, here we are."

"So close?" Zhu Zhentang arrived before finishing eating.

"It's so close." Wang De said with a smile: "Perhaps all the meritorious officials would like to be neighbors. Duke Song's mansion and Duke Cao's mansion are not far away."

"Hmm..." Zhu Zhen nodded, somewhat understanding why Liu Bowen knew about Miss Deng's gossip.

It turned out to be a neighbor...

"Get out of the car and have a look."

After the guards placed the pier, Zhu Zhen jumped out of the carriage and looked at the huge and luxurious mansion in front of him.

I can see the high courtyard wall beyond the horizon at a glance.The whole street is the mansion of Duke Wei, no wonder it is called Dengfu Lane.

In front of the gate of the mansion, there is a large flat covering an area of ​​one mu. On the large flat is a magnificent archway, on which are the four characters of "Leaning like the Great Wall" inscribed by the old thief Yubi himself.

There is a dismounting stele on the archway, and civil servants and military generals must dismount when they come here, and he, the prince, is no exception.

Looking at the white marble steps of the gate, there are two big stone lions squatting.Behind the stone lions are three gates with animal heads, and a plaque of "Weiguo Mansion" is hung on the gates.There are a dozen or so fully armed soldiers standing under the plaque, which are the Iron Book Army bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang to the heroes.

The Duke's ostentation is really not covered.

Those Iron Book soldiers were all from Deng Yu's own soldiers, and their vigilance is not covered.Zhu Zhen's carriage stopped for a while in front of Duke Wei's mansion, and a general flag came over to inquire.

"Excuse me, my lord, what can I do?" If his carriage didn't look like a palace, the other party would definitely not be so polite.

Eunuch Wang unhurriedly took out the tooth card from his sleeve, flashed it in front of the other party's eyes and said, "Our Highness is going to school in the street, and I heard that the Duke of Wei's mansion is nearby, come and have a look and identify the door."

"Ah, it's His Royal Highness the King of Chu." The Chief Banner quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Zhu Zhen maintained the reserve of a king.

"I didn't know His Highness was here, so please forgive me. Your Highness is invited to have tea inside. If you are humble, please ask the concierge to report to Second Young Master." Zong Qi hurriedly bowed to invite him.There is no one who knows better than him what kind of guests come and what standards are to be entertained.

"Your Highness..." Wang Defa looked at Zhu Zhen, implying that we should not go in.It's never good to show up without saying hello.

Besides, His Highness came here on a temporary basis, so what are you going to say when you go in?What are you doing?Isn't it embarrassing?

But he underestimated his highness.Our sixth son has been engaged in the two major social cattle industries of busking and begging, and his skin is as thick as the Nanjing City Wall.

"Then go in and sit down." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "We are almost relatives, let's ask for a cup of tea, let's borrow a hut for a while."

"Ah..." Wang De resolutely said, we have prepared a horse for you, wouldn't it be nice to keep the feces and flowers in the palace?

"Your Highness, please." The Chief Banner was well-behaved, he was just a gatekeeper, and he didn't dare to think about the big man's thoughts.

~~
So, with his hands behind his back, Zhu Zhen followed the steward of the porter into the golden lacquered gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion with the steps of a king.

Then there is the Yimen Gate, the front hall, and all the way the main entrance is wide open, and there are servants kneeling to welcome them.

The steward invited His Royal Highness the King of Chu into the front hall.

The front hall of the Duke's Mansion is the hall, which is seven rooms wide and two buildings and nine frames.The roof is covered with black tiles, the roof ridge is decorated with tile beasts, the beams, pillars, bucket arches and eaves are decorated with colorful paintings, and the doors, windows and columns are decorated with gold and black.Every place is strictly in accordance with the regulations, without any overstepping.

When the dynasty was first established, all the rules were the strictest.And with Boss Zhu being such a control freak, normal people would be like this.

So someone like Liao Yongzhong who blatantly violated the rules is definitely not just as simple as being lawless.It also contains a disapproval of the point of 'imperial power is supreme'.

That's what matters most.

While Zhu Zhen was thinking wildly, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy came in from behind the screen...

"Oh, it's really His Royal Highness the King of Chu." The young man quickly knelt down and saluted. "The last general, Deng Duo, pays his respects to His Highness!"

"Hahaha, get up." Zhu Zhen showed the easy-going look of the king again, and said affectionately: "You are the second son Deng, right? This is the first time this king has met you."

"No, the last general is the third child, and unfortunately my second elder brother also went out just now." Deng Duo got up, trying to pretend to be old-fashioned and said: "The last general is only a mere hundred households, and he is not qualified to enter the hall, so he is going to the Daben hall to study with him. "

"I'm only twelve or thirteen years old, and I'm a hundred households, and I still say that I have a low status..." Zhu Zhen secretly despised him, but then thought that he was only three years old and became a prince.

Oh, I despise him even more...

"Haha, it doesn't matter, I don't study in Daben hall anymore." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "I'm now studying in the Bo's residence, and it's the first time I come out today."

"That's a good relationship." Deng Duo said in the next seat with a decent appearance: "I will see Your Highness often in the future."

"That's right, that's right, I fell in love with you when I saw you, I'm committed to you as a friend." Zhu Zhen looked at him with a smile, his eyes were clean and simple.

"It's the honor of the last general." Deng Duo was flattered and said, "My father and elder brother are both on duty today, so the last general is afraid that he will neglect His Highness and offend His Highness."

"Hahaha, how could it be?" Zhu Zhen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Lao Wang also told me just now that it's impolite to visit rashly. But this king feels that everyone is here, and it would be impolite if he doesn't come in. "

"That's right, Your Highness, please don't be polite, you must treat this place as your own home." Deng Duo was also very happy, this was the first time he treated guests as a host.

Two young boys, just like this, started a meeting in human form in the hall of the Duke's Mansion...

~~
As Wang Defa said, all guests visiting the Duke's Mansion had to hand in invitations in advance.Then, according to the importance of the guests, Deng Yu decided that he would still be the eldest son to meet the guests at home.

There is no appointment today, so Wei Guogong and his eldest son went to the Governor's Mansion and the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion respectively as errands.The second child, Deng Ming, was left to look after the house.

At this moment, the sun was already setting in the west, and normally there would be guests coming to the door, so Deng Ming felt relieved and went out to play with his friends.

Unexpectedly, the out-of-the-ordinary king of Chu would come to visit at this time.

The third child, Deng Duo, who was not yet thirteen, had to take the top spot...

The housekeeper was really sweating.I didn't expect that the reception by the third son was quite like that.

That's right, peers should be received by peers.It can be considered a mistake...

After chatting for a while, the two became good friends who talked about everything.

Hearing that Zhu Zhen had a pet cow, Deng Duo also excitedly took him to the back house to see his panda bear...

Zhu Zhenben thought it was a bear that looked like a bear, or at most a bear that looked like a cat.

But when I went to the backyard and saw it, wow, it turned out to be a black and white, fluffy, chubby panda...

Also Nima is free-range...

The prince of the country, can he play so wildly?

"It's capped, it's capped..." Looking at the invincible and lovely giant panda, Zhu Zhen suddenly felt that his Pingtian Dasheng was not good.

Ps. A bug has been modified. It should have said Chongzhen instead of Zhu Youjian before, and neglected the generational poem.
