Chapter 244 Face Blindness.
The emperor doesn't even give face, don't the nobles...?
Shang Ming's face was very ugly.
Zhou Ying seemed to be hit hard, even worse than when he broke up with him. This young man is already in a state of confusion: "I just want to do something, what's the matter?"
"Don't think so, maybe they really have something to do?" Wu Youwei's comfort was very pale.
Seeing that Zhou Ying was about to go mad, there was movement at the door.
A young man, with a bad complexion, was supported by a healthy servant and stepped into the door. Behind him, several honorable children in brocade clothes and jade belts followed.
"Brother Xu, walk slowly." One of them was supporting the sick young man with his healthy servant.
"I'm fine, I just got up late today, and I accidentally caught a cold yesterday." Although the young man looked thin, he had a good bearing. He looked up and saw Zhou Ying, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm not in good health. Jia, are you late?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late!" Zhou Ying wiped his face, and the decadent energy just now had dissipated, and Dian Dianer stepped forward to take the place of the healthy servant: "Why are you here? Just send someone here.
"It's the first time you're doing something serious, of course I'm going to come and have a look." The young man saw Shang Ming again, smiled and cupped his hands: "Eunuch Shang."
"My son." Shang Ming cupped his hands: "This is Wu Youwei, Wu's servant, Juren."
"My son." Wu Youwei also bowed his hand, "My son?"I don't know what kind of son it is.
"Wu Juren." Shizi also cupped his hands, still smiling gently: "I'm inconvenient, so forgive me.
"It's okay." Shang Ming put on an equal look: "Please take a seat.
But Wu Youwei found out that he only greeted this prince, and those who followed him...he didn't speak to any of them.
On the contrary, those people bowed hands to Wu Youwei one by one, probably because they were from good backgrounds. No one declared their names, so Wu Youwei had no choice but to bow their hands in return, nodding their heads as a "nodding acquaintance".
When everyone was seated, Wu Youwei realized that these people were "partners": because there were no empty chairs.
Zhou Ying was quite high-spirited now, and he poured tea for everyone himself before he said: "It's to save me face, especially the prince, I didn't expect you to be the one who came here."
"Father said that it's rare to see a man who turns his back on a prodigal son, so I want to help. I just want to join in the fun because I'm still in good health these days. I didn't expect to catch a cold yesterday. I got up late today. Everyone is waiting at home I'm here." Shizi said with a faint smile, "Fortunately, I'm not late."
When he said this, Zhou Ying was really happier: "I thought you guys wouldn't come!"
"Where can it be!" said one of the noble disciples, "We all want to come together!"
The others also chattered a bit, but it could be seen that these people were really playboys, because apart from the eldest son, there was no one to say hello to Eunuch Shang.
As for the identity of Eunuch Shang, apart from the eldest son, only Zhou Ying is able to see it. Others... probably don't think much of it.
"That's good." Zhou Ying pointed to Wu Youwei with a smile and said, "Let's say again, Wu servant, Wu Youwei, Master Juren, he is someone that the imperial cousin values."
With this sentence, everyone looked at Wu Youwei.
On the other hand, Shang Ming expressed his respect for Wu Youwei, and he mainly took the initiative to refill Wu Youwei's half cup of tea.
The way these people looked at Wu Youwei changed.
Shang Ming, Eunuch Shang, is the celebrity around the emperor. To put it bluntly, the queen and the king couldn't even ask him to pour a bowl of tea.
Also served the emperor.
Now he is very respectful to Wu Youwei.
After Zhou Ying was taken aback for a moment, she bowed her hands again and said, "This is the son of Duke Wei, Xu Kuibi."
The young son is the son of Wei Guogong Xu Pu: Xu Kuibi!
Wu Youwei's eyes were straight at that moment!
This is Wei Guogong's short-lived son!
only son!
Wei Guogong's current wife is the stepwife. As mentioned earlier, she is related to Cheng Yunpeng.
At that time, Zhou Ying was worried about Cheng Yunpeng, because the son's health was really not good, if he really hiccuped and caught a cold, the son born to his step-mother would inherit the position of Duke.
Duke Wei's mansion, that is the number one noble family in Ming Dynasty!
But in history, Xu Kuibi is not famous because he died young.
His son is quite famous.
But now what he sees is Xu Kuibi, who is really not very healthy, and looks very young, with a faint smell of medicine on his body.
"Your Majesty." Wu Youwei greeted him again, but Wu Youwei grew up in modern times. Although he was in ancient times, he didn't have a strong sense of superiority and inferiority. Therefore, even though the other party was the heir of Wei Guogong, he still looked calm.
This made Xu Kuibi interested, he nodded towards Wu Youwei: "Wu Juren.
"The strawberry is an overseas item that Mr. Wu found." Shang Ming said "lightly" on the side: "Master Wu still has many things like this.
When he called him that, everyone was stunned.
Eunuchs generally only call the emperor "the emperor", but in the palace, especially the eunuchs who serve the emperor personally, they are generally called "father-in-law", and those who grew up with the emperor, or stayed with the emperor for a long time Yes, as long as the emperor likes them, he will call them "companions". If they are older eunuchs who have been taking care of the emperor, the emperor will respectfully call them "big companions".
Why did Emperor Yingzong rely so much on Wang Zhen?
Because Emperor Yingzong came to the throne at a young age, Wang Zhen has always played the role of "father" to take care of the young Emperor Yingzong.
So much so that Emperor Yingzong regarded him as a "false father", and because Wang Zhen was a eunuch, the harem also entrusted him with important tasks and placed high hopes on him.
The result was the disaster of Tumubao.
But now, Wu Youwei, a mere recruiter, is honored as "Master Wu" by the famous man in front of the emperor, Mr. Shang Ming. How can it not make people curious?
"Does Master Wu know a lot about overseas?" Shizi curiously asked everyone's doubts.
"It's okay." Wu Youwei thought for a while: "In fact, overseas is very..."
"So how many things are like strawberries?" One of the dudes couldn't help asking: "Is there really Persia?"
"Yes." Wu Youwei nodded.
"Do Persian dancers really dance without clothes on?" Another dandy's eyes lit up.
Wu Youwei supported his forehead: "What you're talking about is a striptease, it has nothing to do with Persian dancers.
"Is there really this kind of dance?" A few dandies became interested: "What kind of dance does the Persian dancer dance? That little waist twists so ecstatically!"
It is rare for people of this kind of culture to discuss the issue of dancers with them, so of course this opportunity cannot be missed.
And Wei Guogong's son is even more curious. Not only is a person valued by the emperor, but he can even discuss dancers with dudes without blushing?
Zhou Ying wanted to stop them, it doesn't matter how everyone talks about it when they are together, isn't it a matter of business now?
But he was stopped by Eunuch Shang Mingshang.
Shang Ming believed that Wu Youwei could handle this situation, if he couldn't handle it, then he would be ashamed of the emperor's respect.
"That's called belly dance." Wu Youwei explained: "Actually, belly dance is a religious dance.
All dudes choke, religious dance?
"It is said that in Tianzhu, there was a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure. After she got married, she didn't know why she had no children. The painful woman came to the temple to pray. Under the guidance of the mysterious power, she began to cast her feet in front of the statue emotionally. , Twisting the waist, swinging the buttocks, like a dance, in order to pray to the god of fertility to fulfill her wish to have a child. Later, she was really pregnant because of this, and after the temple knew, her dance was used as a sacrificial dance. " Wu Youwei said: "Before the origin of belly dance, it already contained the images of many goddesses such as Milita, Ephrodite, Venus, and Corus. They are all great figures in ancient mythology. Mother Goddess, in charge of hunting, farming, childbirth and other forms of life that are closely related to people
.....
What Wu Youwei said about what was supposed to be a romantic event was tainted with religious coloring, especially Buddhism.
Regardless of what Buddhism looks like in foreign countries, in Ming Dynasty, it is a fasting, few desires, pure heart, and solemn existence.
After hearing the origin of this belly dance, all the dandies lost their appetites, so what will happen in the future?
I don't even feel like watching a dance.
Wu Youwei talked about belly dancing, which made several dudes dizzy, only Xu Kuibi smiled.
Shang Ming Shang Gonggong is like an old monk entering meditation.
Zhou Ying wiped his sweat and said: "Well, today is not the time to talk about this, you all give me a break."
The dandies shut up now.
After introducing Xu Kuibi, the next one was one of the dudes, who asked the Persian dancer: "This is Zhang Lun, the grandson of the British Duke.
"Master Zhang." Wu Youwei cupped his hands.
Zhang Lun also cupped his hands and said, "Master Wu is good!
Wu Youwei took a serious look at Zhang Lun, he remembered that the British government was also a veteran nobleman, and it was the title of Zhang Fu, the son of General Zhang Yu when Emperor Yongle launched an army to pacify the disaster.
Father and son, both of them are the right arm of Emperor Yongle.
The current British Duke is Zhang Mao, the grandson of Zhang Yu, a hero of Jingnan, and the second son of Zhang Fu, king of Dingxing.
He succeeded his father, the Duke, at the age of nine.
He often rode and shot Xiyuan from Emperor Xianzong. He hit three shots in a row, and the emperor rewarded him with a gold belt.
Later, the prince Taifu was added, and he became the Taishi and the prince Taishi.
He died in the tenth year of Zhengde at the age of 75. He was posthumously presented to King Ningyang with the posthumous title of "Gongjing".
And he can remember these, because the British male is really "beautiful"!
It is another majestic mansion after Wei Guogong. It is said that during the Wuzong period, even Liu Jin and others dared not take it lightly.
The pillar of the nobles is the British Duke Zhang Mao.
Historical records: Zhang Mao, heir to the public at the age of nine.
Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty rode and shot Xiyuan.Mao made three consecutive hits and was given a gold belt.
He has been in charge of the camp mansion and accumulated to the Taishi.
Taste the matter of border defense, admonishing the sending of Beijing camp soldiers to build Yuantong Temple.
In the middle of Hongzhi, Li Xing and Peng Cheng, the censors, were imprisoned and tried to save them.
Please stop being a real martial artist, avoid weaving, and call back Dong Zhizhe, a middle official.
When Wu Zong came to the throne, he had sex with a group of young people, and he led the civil and military ministers to remonstrate, and his words were all straight.
However, he is extravagant, and he is quite arrogant to cut down the sergeant, which has been repeatedly corrected by the speaker.
His heir was 66 years old, and he held the military handle for 40 years.
Masanori died in ten years at the age of 75.
Presented to King Ningyang, posthumously named Gongjing.
At that time, he remembered that when everyone was discussing, he especially noticed a sentence: "The heir is 66 years old, and the one who holds the military handle is 40 years old, and he is honored as the crown of honored officials."
In Ming Dynasty, it was very strict to exercise military power. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang deal with those veterans?Why did Zhu Di abolish the military power of the vassal king?
Ming's military power is a very sensitive thing.
And with a noble body, he has been in charge of military power for 40 years. It can be said that there is no other reason except the emperor's trust!
The current British public Zhang Mao is the person in charge of military power.
It is a pity that Zhang Mao's son Zhang Rui failed to survive his father, leaving him only his grandson Zhang Lun, and in the end Zhang Mao's Duke of England was also inherited by Zhang Lun.
Although I don't know if Zhang Rui is still alive...but Zhang Lun is definitely the one who will inherit the title.
I don't know if this is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, or someone deliberately arranged this?
"Master Wu knows me?" Zhang Lun pointed to himself. He felt very strange the way Wu Youwei looked at him just now.
"No, I just want to remember what you look like." Wu Youwei shook his head: "I'm a bit face blind.
"Face blindness?" It was the first time everyone heard about it, and they all expressed their curiosity: "Is it a disease?
"That's right." Wu Youwei said: "I just don't remember what people look like. Now I can sit with you and drink too much. If we go out for a few days and meet each other, it's easy to be ambiguous..."
