Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 14

At this time, three ox carts had arrived, and all the villagers rushed over happily.

The items belonging to Zhang Yifan, such as quilts, salt, towels and washbasins, were the first to be taken out, and Daniu and Erniu helped him move them in immediately.

Zhang Yifan followed them into the house without taking any action, then watched them leave to distribute their things, then closed the door.

After walking back and sitting down by the bed, he opened the brocade box that Zhu Jingjing gave him.

What surprised Zhang Yifan was that there was a pair of bracelets on top of a stack of Ming Dynasty banknotes!
He picked up the pair of bracelets, stood up again, walked to the window, and looked at them with the help of light.

Zhang Yifan discovered that this pair of bracelets were gold bracelets, and such a thin bracelet actually had a pattern of flying dragons and phoenixes, which was very exquisite.

He doesn't have much idea about jewelry.But if you think about it with your toes, you can estimate that this is definitely not cheap!

So, the question is, what does this mean?
Zhang Yifan was a little confused: The amount of Ming Dynasty treasure notes underneath was not large, so he used this pair of gold bracelets to convert money?

Otherwise, why would a grown man like me want this bracelet?

This girl, really, there is no need to care so much, she even used the gold bracelet to redeem it!
With this in mind, Zhang Yifan walked back to the bed, put the gold bracelet on the bed, then took out the stack of Ming Dynasty banknotes at the bottom and started counting them.

After counting, he was a little dumbfounded: the total of these Ming Dynasty treasure notes amounted to 1000 taels!

You know, a house in Nanjing is the kind of house that an ordinary family can live in, and it only costs about 30 taels.

An official embezzled 60 taels of silver, and Zhu Yuanzhang decided that this amount was to be used as fodder!

More than 1000 taels of silver, save some money, ordinary people can live a lifetime!
I'm afraid this girl doesn't come from a family like a prince, right?

Maybe it's one of the six dukes, or one of the forty marquises? (Among them, twelve marquises were conferred in the 12th year of Hongwu, but he remembered wrongly)
Thinking of this, Zhang Yifan was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, he had a really good impression of this pair of brothers and sisters, especially the girl, who even showed her affection for him; however, now it is discovered that their identities may be very high, and it is very likely that they are at the level of a prince Yes, then in the future, it will be easier for Zhu Yuanzhang to miss him.

If you have a relationship with them, you might be implicated in the future!
Looking at the brocade box in his hand, Zhang Yifan hesitated for a while and decided to find an opportunity to help them to see if they could avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife!

After making a decision in his mind, he put the gold bracelet back into the brocade box, then hid the brocade box in the loess under the bed, and then went out to look outside and divide things.

........................

Under the setting sun, a group of knights rode their horses and galloped. After finally reaching the city of Nanjing, they slowed down their horses and entered the city.

"Fourth brother, when will you be there tomorrow?" Zhu Jingjing turned to ask Zhu Di without blushing.

Zhu Di immediately understood the implication of her words and wanted to follow her.So, he laughed and said: "I have to go find Po Wen tomorrow. There are also a lot of things to deal with. Maybe my father will also come to see me. There is no fixed time!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jingjing pouted, obviously a little unhappy, and quickly explained: "Actually, you are repaying your kindness by going today, right? By the way, didn't you save him and give him money?" , it’s enough from every aspect. Right?”

"Fourth brother, what is my saving lives? There is no real danger..." There is no real danger?Then you are a girl from every family, and you still jump over to hug him?With such thoughts in Zhu Di's mind, he hastily interrupted Zhu Jingjing's words and had to remind him: "I heard that my father is already considering your marriage. If you want to see other men more often, my father will be unhappy!"

He purposely spoke the last few words with emphasis.

It was okay if Zhu Di didn't tell him about it. When he heard about it, Zhu Jingjing immediately became anxious.

In her eyes, except for Zhang Yifan's life experience, in other respects, she always liked him.As for life experience, could it be worse than her father's?

To be honest, she doesn't care about her life experience at all!
Therefore, if she was allowed to choose by herself, she would never marry Zhang Yifan in this life!My savior, I pledge myself to you, there is nothing wrong with me!
However, she also knew in her heart that she could not make the decision on her own marriage and had to listen to her father.

And she also knew that her fourth brother was right, her father must have been considering her marriage.

Once her father makes a decision, it is a done deal and cannot be changed.

For this reason, if she wants to have a chance to marry a man she wants, she can only make efforts before her father makes a decision, let Zhang Yifan come into the sight of her father or her family, and consider Zhang Yifan as his consort!

However, it is also very difficult to achieve this.To be honest, she felt that it would not be easier than her father to conquer the world!
Zhu Jingjing knew that it was useless to be anxious.

She thought for a moment, stared into Zhu Di's eyes and asked, "Fourth brother, tell me truthfully, what is your impression of this Zhang Yifan?"

Zhu Di originally thought that his girl would make trouble, but unexpectedly, she just asked questions calmly. Of course, he also saw that Zhu Jingjing was serious.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally looked back at the girl's eyes and said equally seriously: "So far, I have only seen that he has extraordinary skills in rescuing people who are choking. If I am not wrong, he is also very good at giving birth to women. , and also has unique insights. To a certain extent, he is a medical wizard, right? If he can further his studies in the future, he may be a famous doctor!"

"What else?" Zhu Jingjing was obviously not satisfied and asked again.

After hearing this, Zhu Di shook his head and said, "That's all for now!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jingjing still staring at him, her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, revealing that she was not satisfied, so he had to continue: "The conversation is extraordinary, not like ordinary people. In addition, the way of speaking and some words, It’s a bit weird. Also, he gives me the feeling that he likes to tell lies. However, for the time being, I have found no conclusive evidence that he tells lies!”

Zhu Jingjing had been listening quietly. After waiting for a while, before Zhu Di could continue speaking, she just said lightly: "Fourth brother, there is no need to send him off. I will go back by myself!"

After saying that, she pinched the horse's belly, sped up, and left.

Zhu Di looked at his eldest sister's back and was a little confused: Zhu Jingjing's reaction was beyond his expectation. How could he be so calm?Do you want to go together again without making a fuss?
Based on his understanding of Zhu Jingjing, he was sure: there was something weird!
However, as long as you don't get into trouble with him, then you'll be fine!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di went back to the mansion by himself.

On the other side, Zhu Jingjing has been riding silently.Her maid Qiu Ju obviously understood her and approached her.

Sure enough, Zhu Jingjing had something to say: "Fourth brother didn't tell the whole story. He didn't tell it on purpose. But I know that he still has a good impression of Zhang Yifan!"

Speaking of this, she suddenly became excited again, and immediately ordered: "Let's go and have dinner tonight!"
