There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 378

"Not only Macau, but also Taiwan and Hong Kong are the portals of i portals." Wu Youwei said: "If there are troops stationed there, we will know whoever comes to Ming Dynasty."

Instead of letting Japanese pirates run rampant and pirates rampant like now.

"Not bad!" Wantong put the wontons he had dried into Wu Youwei's plate: "I will think about this matter carefully, eat, eat!"

"Yeah." Wu Youwei took a bite, the prawns were the freshest, and it was really a pleasure to eat them in your mouth.

After enjoying it, the two of them went out for a walk and watched the bustle. Wantong also bought him some snacks. The fishball noodles sold on the street tasted very good, and Wu Youwei ate a bowl.

Wait until noon...he won't be able to eat lunch.

Wantong strictly forbade him to eat snacks, and gave him no snacks, so he drank some hawthorn tea to help digestion, and dragged him from sleeping, and walked around the back garden several times.

He was allowed to take a nap after he had digested well, and he was better at night.

Originally, Wu Youwei had spiritual water, so he could just drink it, but drinking spiritual water for such a trivial matter was a bit wasteful, and Wu Youwei also enjoyed the feeling of being supported by delicious food.

As soon as May is over, Shanghai's new city is being built faster. By June, not only is the new city under construction, but even the crops are growing well. The first half of the year has been smooth.

At this time, the imperial decree arrived.

The person who came was Wang Zhi!

He stood there and read out the imperial decree. The general content was that Wantong and Wu Youwei had meritorious service, and they were specially rewarded with boa robes and jade belts.

The boa robe is a gift from the emperor, and a jade belt is required to wear the boa robe.

The boa robe is similar to the dragon gown worn by the emperor. It is not an official uniform, but a special reward for the envoys, eunuchs and prime ministers in the Ming Dynasty.

It was considered a great honor to receive such a boon.

Because in the Ming Dynasty "Wanli Yehuo Compilation Supplement" Volume [-] said: "The python clothes are like dragon clothes, which are similar to the royal robes of the supreme, but minus one by one claw ears." "Ming History Yufu Zhi": "Eunuchs in the emperor The left and right must be python clothes, embroidered with pythons on the left and right, and tied with luan belts. ..Secondly..........The face of a single python is oblique, and the face of a sitting python is forward, which is especially expensive.There is also the knee you, like Yisa, with python patches on it, and thin cloud pythons woven horizontally at the knees, covering the southern suburbs and mountain hills, so that it is easy to ride horses.Or call to see Yan, the monarch and his ministers don't use robes but use this.The second python has five claws and four claws, and you have red and yellow ears.

From this record, it can be seen that there are single pythons on the python clothes, that is, two rows of python patterns are embroidered on the left and right sides of the skirt.

There are sitting pythons, that is to say, in addition to the two running pythons on the left and right lapels, the pattern of sitting pythons on the front chest and back is added, which is a noble style.

As for Yisa, it is a kind of gown-style clothing, with python patterns on the chest and back, and a horizontal strip of cloud-python pattern decoration on the knees of the gown, which is called knee mi.

But Wu Youwei and the others received a single python suit.

Wang Zhi's explanation is: "I originally wanted to give you a python, but was stopped by the imperial concubine, saying that you two are already eye-catching enough, and the python suit is better.

"Elder Sister, I'm sorry." Wantong nodded, indicating that he understood.

This was the first time Wu Youwei had seen a python suit. Even if it was in later generations, it would be placed in a glass display case, and no one would come close to see it.

In the Ming Dynasty, this thing was something that only some favored ministers had. Who would show it off if they had nothing to do?

They're all bottom-of-the-box babies.

To put it bluntly, it is estimated that only after death will it be taken out for burial.

Now he can touch ", and this thing belongs to him!

"Youwei? Youwei?" Seeing Wu Youwei, Wantong yelled at the python robe, and quickly called him: "Eunuch Wang is exhausted all the way, let's go to the county government to rest first, don't stay at any post, it's just in the county. Let’s settle down in Ya’s backyard.”

Wu Youwei came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Yes, the post station is not as comfortable as my own home."

He really regarded the backyard of the county government office as his own home, but Wang Zhi found it very useful to say this: "Then our family will be disturbed."

Some people would rather give gold and silver treasures to eunuchs than settle down in their own homes; they would rather sacrifice people at post stations than take them home to settle down.

In addition to the previous rumors in Beijing, Mr. Wu was drugged by his aunt since he was a child, so he could not have offspring; Mr. Wan was plotted against by Bai Zhen's bastard, and his body was injured.

After careful calculation, it is not the same as their eunuchs, right?

So Wang Zhi immediately felt that Wantong and Wu Youwei belonged to him.

Wantong and Wu Youwei received the imperial decree and rewards at the gate of the yamen. In addition to the python robe and jade belt, there were also thirty carts of things, all of which were rewarded by Emperor Xianzong to Wantong and Wu Youwei. have a share.

Ten cars per person, no more, no less.

In addition, there are [-] carts of things that are rewarded to all officers and soldiers, and they are porcelain bowls made by Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln.

This porcelain bowl is as big as the second bowl, but it is made of apricot yellow, which is already very close to bright yellow.

Because according to the regulations, the crown prince uses apricot yellow.

They are all the same size, but the pattern is a rare dragon pattern, which represents a special gift from the emperor. There are four words written in regular script on the bottom of the bowl: Great Victory along the Coast.

Distributed to officers and soldiers, ordinary families can regard this object as a family heirloom.

Wantong and Wu Youwei invited Wang Zhi back to the Houya, accompanied by Zhang Shen, and when everyone was seated, Wang Zhi continued: "Old Zhang, don't be upset, your emperor in the python robe said, when will you wait?" I've returned to Beijing, and I'll give you a python sitting any time." Hey!Why! Zhang Shen then laughed sincerely: "If there is such a day, even if our family closes our eyes, it will be worth it." "In the entire Ming Dynasty, which eunuch can have python robes?

Wang Zhen did have one thing, but unfortunately, he has left a bad reputation for thousands of years.

But it is said that Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng have several cases... But what is the credit of Eunuch Zheng?Not to mention that there will be no one in the future, but it is certain that there will be no one before.

So those who couldn't afford to fight at that time, and couldn't fight, how could the living fight with the dead?

But it's different now, if the emperor can say that, then he must speak with eloquence, you are not joking!

After Wu Youwei waited for the maids to serve tea and snacks, he took a closer look at Wang Zhi and sighed, "I haven't seen you for many years, and Eunuch Wang has grown up too.

Wang Zhi blushed when he said it: "Our family...our family hasn't thanked Wu Shidu yet."

Because Wu Youwei valued him, he did a good job on that errand, and he caught the eyes of the concubine Wan at that time. Later, Concubine Wan became Concubine Wan Gui, and the servants in his family became more and more prosperous.

This time, because two eunuchs from the emperor's side were ill, and two of them had other uses, they had to come to Zhaode Palace to borrow someone. Concubine Wan Gui pushed him out, saying that he was smart, young and energetic. Son, the emperor likes such a young and energetic person, so he is transferred to his side, and he will come out for a short time to run errands, to gain experience, and when the time is right, let him go out for a few years of experience, and he will be ready after returning to Beijing. Can be of great use.

The eunuchs were very clear about this, so even though Wang Zhi was only an eighth-rank eunuch delivering edicts, many people fawned on him.

This trip out of Beijing did not suffer much.

"Eunuch Wang, we are all acquaintances, so it's easy to meet outsiders with such politeness!" Wu Youwei laughed loudly: "Since you've come to Shanghai, let's take a good look at this place."

"When we came, the emperor also said, let us take a good look at our house, and return to the capital in the future, so that we can learn from the emperor and his old man." Wang Zhi also said with a smile: "And Lao Zhang, your navy, Okay, now when the big guys mention the navy, they give thumbs up, saying that you, the supervisor, are too respectable.

In the past, when anyone talked about Zhang Shen, they all curled their lips, and went to that remote and remote place to serve as a military supervisor.

If they were changed, let alone supervising the army, even the local emperor would not go.

Shanghai County?A place I've never heard of.

It is said that an old man wanted to know where it was, so he went to the Hanlin Academy to check the classics. Okay, after a month of searching, he found a few words that mentioned Shanghai County.

This is almost becoming a joke in the circle of eunuchs in the palace.

How is it now?

Are all faces swollen?

"That's also the credit of Master Wan and Wu Shidu, I'm a big brother!" Zhang Shen laughed loudly, he had enough confidence to be proud.

Originally thought that he was not welcome, so he could only sulk slowly and become a competent supervisor here. Who knew that Wantong and Wu Maid were really not mortals.

"Even if others want to gain fame, they are not as lucky as you." Wang Zhi also laughed, he was also as lucky as Zhang Shen.

Can't help but look at Wu Youwei: "Wu Shidu is the same, the emperor often mentions you."

More than often?

Wantong and Wu Youwei are mentioned almost every feast and happy event.

Outsiders don't know, the ears of the close waiters are almost callused.

"Really?" Wu Youwei smiled, he could tell, because from Zhang Shen to Wang Zhi, they all called him "Wu Shidu", not "Wu County Magistrate".

Attendant reading is a close minister of the emperor.

As for county magistrates, small officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, there are not one thousand in the world, but there are eight hundred.

He only remembered now that when he took office as the county magistrate, the official position that seemed to be a servant never said he would resign...

This is interesting.

Because Wang Zhiyuan was a guest, the chef in the kitchen cooked local delicacies from Shanghai County again.

In particular, Wu Youwei ordered big stuffed wontons with fresh shrimp.

There are also special dishes such as drunk crab, salted fish and eggplant, which Wang Zhi has never eaten, but he still thinks it is delicious.

After eating, they enjoyed the cool and chatted in the patio.

When falling asleep at night, Zhang Shen and Wang Zhi were in the same yard, and Wantong naturally followed Wu Youwei. When the two of them left, Wang Zhi turned around, put away his relaxed smile, and looked at Zhang Shen seriously: "The servant Wang Zhi, on behalf of the imperial concubine, asked the eunuch Zhang Shen what to say."

Zhang Shen stood up all of a sudden: "May the lady be well.

"Your Majesty's phoenix body is peaceful." Wang Zhi frowned and said, "My Majesty asked Mr. Wantong if it really has something to do with Wu Shidu...?"

Zhang Shen was taken aback: "Ah?"

"Ah, what?" Wang Zhi said, "Do you think that no one in Beijing really knows about the two of them? It's just that the outsiders who are making trouble now know about it. Is this...appropriate?"

The imperial concubine is worried about affecting their future.

"Don't worry..." Zhang Shen smiled.

No one knew what Zhang Shen told Wang Zhi that night, anyway, the matter was over.

Wu Youwei and Wantong were on the bed looking at the rarity of the python robe and jade belt.

"I watched it all night, isn't it enough?" Wantong couldn't laugh or cry seeing him like that.

"Boa robe!" Wu Youwei curled his lips: "In my era, these things were precious cultural relics. Let alone touching them, you have to look at them from a long distance."

"Really?" Wantong was dubious: "I haven't seen this thing a few times. Some veterans have, but they don't often wear it."

"Oh." Wu Youwei touched his clothes and said, "This embroiderer is really good."

"Is it okay? There are regulations." Wantong laughed and teased him: "Why don't you hug it to sleep at night?"

Wu Youwei glanced at him: "I'll sleep with it, where are you going?"

Wantong laughed loudly, and carried him to wash up.

When the two of them came back, the housekeeper had already taken away the python robe on the bed. Although it was not a confession, it had to be put away properly, and some mothballs were put in it to prevent it from being eaten by moths.

The next day, Wu Youwei personally took Wang Zhi and Zhang Shen as companions, and wandered around the county town of Shanghai.

The first one to go is of course the old city side. The commercial street is already full of people, cars and horses.

Naturally, they were not alone when they went out. When Wang Zhi came, he was also followed by six young eunuchs, and with Zhang Shen's six young eunuchs, there were twelve young servants.

Wu Youwei brought the butler with him, and the butler brought the money bag.

The three hundred guards did a lot of hard work while defending the city. They joined the army and followed Wantong, and now all of them have been promoted and made a fortune.

Wu Youwei sent a letter to Cangzhou again, inviting a guard team of still 300 people, and now he has taken office, so he brought ten of them out.

Wantong went to the navy camp over Wusongkou, but he didn't accompany him.

As soon as Wang Zhi went out, seeing the bustling scene in front of him that was not inferior to the capital city, he was even happier: "It's really bustling!"
