Chapter 1057: Hard Situation

Xu Mingwu left his father's study sullenly, walked through the complicated corridor, and returned to his courtyard.

After staying up all night, early in the morning, it was his mother and father who came in turn, Xu Mingwu was physically and mentally exhausted for a while, and he felt even more bitter in his mouth.

If you haven't brushed your teeth for two days, who can bear it!

He shouted at Xu Fu, Hou's little attendant outside the door: "Is there a toothbrush, I want to brush my teeth!" ”

"Yes, young master!"

After a while, Xu Fu came in with a spittoon, and the maid Xiaoju came in with a set of equipment.

"Really!"

Xu Mingwu found that the toothbrush of the Ming Dynasty was similar to the shape of later generations, but the toothbrush in front of him was made of horsehair inlaid on a finely polished piece of ivory, which looked high-end.

He asked, "Do you know who invented this toothbrush?" ”

Xu Fu replied with a smile: "This little one really knows that the earliest toothbrush was invented by Emperor Xiaozongjing, and it was originally made of pig bristles inlaid on bones, and it has been passed down for more than one hundred and fifty years, and it has been passed down to Europa!" ”

Xu Mingwu was slightly surprised, the toothbrush was actually invented by the Ming Emperor? Or the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhang, who married a wife in his life? It's really up!

Xu Fu continued: "The toothbrush that the young master uses now is improved by the current saint, the pig hair is too rough, so His Majesty has replaced it with soft horse hair, as well as this fine ivory." ”

"However, this kind of toothbrush is expensive, and only princes and nobles like the young master can afford it, and we ordinary people can only use toothbrushes made of pig hair and bones......"

Xu Mingwu listened while brushing his teeth, and suddenly "poofed" and spit out the "toothpaste" in his mouth into the spittoon.

"This is toothpaste, it's just a mouthful of salt!"

Xu Fu looked at his young master in astonishment and reminded, "Young master, this paste is made of salt and spices!" ”

If I go, then the traverser didn't improve the toothpaste?

Xu Mingwu was speechless, rinsed his mouth casually, and asked the second servant to retreat.

Lying on the fragrant bed, his fingers subconsciously caressing the smooth silk surface, Xu Mingwu was still digesting the problem of brushing his teeth just now.

Although the identity of Xungui's son is good, this survival condition is too low!

No electricity, no phone, no computer, not even toothpaste!

At night, I still read a book with a kerosene lamp in my hand, and my nostrils are full of black kerosene ash, which is really like returning to the countryside in the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century!

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Xu Mingwu's lips, do you really want to live in this world for the rest of your life?

It's crazy enough not to go out for a few months during the epidemic, and how to live in the next few decades!

After thinking about it, Xu Mingwu became more determined to have a timely and enjoyable attitude towards life, and made full use of his advantages to carry out the decadent life of the children of the family.

He called Xu Fu and asked, "Do you know how much property our Hou Mansion has?" ”

"The little one only knows a rough idea, you have to ask Butler Feng for details."

Xu Fu looked at his young master directly, not knowing what illness he was committing again.

Xu Mingwu was angry when he saw his eyes, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not sick, you just tell me how much property there is in our house!" ”

As the saying goes, people who are sick say they are not sick, people who are not sick say they are sick, and people with brain disease rarely have self-awareness and often think that they are not sick.

You see, the young master is angry and angry!

Xu Fu didn't demolish him, and replied: "Our Hou Mansion has about 20 shops in Zhili, and there are more than 3,000 acres of land in Jiangning County, a few years ago, Hou Ye took command to conquer Japan, and the imperial court rewarded thousands of acres of land, in the Hou Ye's hometown Shouzhou area......

"What? My dad also beat Little Japan? Xu Mingwu was surprised.

"Young master, don't insult your compatriots, it is now called Dongying Province, and it is the territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

I'll go, the old man is so powerful? Flattening Little Japan?

Xu Mingwu's mind suddenly became active, he didn't expect that Little Japan, which had been tossed for thousands of years, would die in the Ming Dynasty!

Now it's interesting, and you can go to the island visa-free in the future!

Seeing the second young family smirking, Xu Fu thought that he was thinking about the family property, so he reminded: "Young master, the family property of the Hou Mansion has nothing to do with you, you are a concubine, according to the system of the imperial court, the title of the Hou Lord, including everything in the Hou Mansion, is inherited by the eldest young master.......

"What?"

Xu Mingwu seemed to have been pounced on with cold water, and he was not calm in an instant: "It has nothing to do with me?" So what do I have? ”

"You now have five silver yuan a month, three meals are full, there are shopping coupons issued by the imperial court every year, and you can also use the carriages and horses of the Hou Mansion at will, but you can't sell rental ......"

Xu Mingwu exhaled angrily: "What do you mean? Isn't a concubine a son? The court is too lenient! Are there still human rights? ”

Xu Fu persuaded in a low voice: "Young master, the court is not thinking about you." ”

Xu Mingwu frowned: "Think about me?" You know again? ”

Xu Fu said proudly: "As a quarterly outstanding family member of the Hou Mansion, Fuzi I am not only proficient in the rules of the Hou Mansion, but also cautious and conscientious, and I also know a little about the various systems of the imperial court, especially about our nobles!" ”

"Oh? Do you still have what it takes? Come and tell the young master, why is the court good for us? Xu Mingwu felt more and more that this kid was unreliable.

Xu Fu said with a smile: "Young master, that's the case, our current saint is a wise and martial king, abolished the hereditary replacement system of the Ming Dynasty, all of them have been changed to Liujue, and set the rules, all the sons and daughters of the nobles must be errands, relying on military merits or imperial examinations to obtain titles, and the concubines of each family can make an exception to enter the Huangming Military Academy or the National Prison, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have no merit will be half-lu." ”

Good guy, if you cut everyone else, you're left with the emperor!

Xu Mingwu was amazed, and said: "Those noble families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, no one came out to make trouble?" ”

"It's troublesome!"

When it came to this, Xu Fu was energetic: "I heard that the trouble is terrible, what is it called, but those princes and nobles just rebelled, and they pressed the current saint!"

Then the beheadings that should be beheaded, the exiles that should be exiled, some of them were also dug up ancestral graves, and the nobles of several masterminds are still locked up in the Fengyang high wall, I heard that there was a crazy one two years ago, it's really miserable! ”

it! The emperor is a good means! This is what an imperial society should look like!

In the end, Xu Fu reminded: "Young master, it's not that the little one is disrespectful to you, according to your current conditions, if you don't go to the Huangming Military Academy to gild, you can only eat at home for the rest of your life!" ”

Xu Mingwu had a headache, life is always full of hardships and ups and downs, and growth is even more so, even if he ran to the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago and was reincarnated into a nobleman, it is still so troublesome!

Sighing to himself a few times, Xu Mingwu flashed his light and asked tentatively: "I said Fuzi, there are so many beautiful girls in our house, can I find a ...... young master?"

As he spoke, he made a Tai Chi movement.

Xu Fu was surprised, but thinking about the young master's brain disease, it was personally certified by the experts of the East Factory, so just think about it.

He nodded, and also made a Tai Chi movement, saying, "This is okay, but it can't be forced and abused!" ”

Xu Fu explained: "More than ten years ago, there was a general soldier in Shaanxi, who had a little credit to His Majesty, and killed several wives and concubines in the mansion with a rod, and was beheaded by the Holy Order, and even the house was copied, young master, you can't be stupid and even affect the Hou Mansion!" ”

"So miserable?"

Xu Mingwu shrunk his neck, but he still didn't change his heart and said, "Then you arrange one for the young master?" I'll try to talk to her......."
