Out of the noon gate, Xu Mingwu returned home with his father Xu Qingshan.

Because of a serious imperial mission, he didn't have to go back to the Huangming Military Academy within this month.

Xu Mingwu was just about to talk to Xu Qingshan, when a very tall and handsome middle-aged general walked over, patted Xu Mingwu on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, your body is pretty good...... Brother Xu, you gave birth to a good son! ”

Xu Qingshan laughed and said, "Brother Li has won the award!" ”

He introduced Xu Mingwu: "This is the Grand Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, Li Yu, Marquis of Jiujiang. ”

Xu Mingwu turned around, smiled and said, "My nephew has seen Uncle Li!" ”

He once heard that this Jiujiang Marquis had fought with his father Xu Qingshan in Little Japan, and the two had a good relationship, so they were not polite, and they came up directly to get acquainted.

Li Yu laughed: "The virtuous nephew is a young man, his knowledge is different, and he will become a great tool in the future!" ”

Some generals who came over to join in the fun on the side also smirked and said some words of praise, quite like a group of old hooligans praising their younger brother, Xu Mingwu had to laugh dryly.

It was already noon when I returned to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, and in the front hall, the servants were busy shuttling around, placing dishes on the table, etc., preparing lunch.

The little follower Xu Fu was the first to pounce and danced around Xu Ming Wuxin, while the maid Xiaoju stood quietly aside, her face flushed slightly, as if she knew the bad intentions of the second young master before......

"Wu'er, go to your yard......"

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Mingwu to reply, Xu Qingshan walked in front.

Xu Mingwu knew that his father had something to say, so he followed him into his small courtyard with a "hmm".

Returning to the small courtyard, Xiao Ju made tea with his hands and feet, and Fuzi Lisuo brought the Taishi chair.

Xu Mingwu instructed: "You go to the gate of the courtyard and watch, don't let people in." ”

The two of them agreed suspiciously, walked out quickly, and closed the door with their hands.

Xu Qingshan glanced at him approvingly, and his face was still calm: "Wu'er, tell me about your situation in the Huangming Military Academy." ”

General Xu Mingwu has been in the military academy for the past two months, except for appreciating the princess's bathing, and he told Xu Qingshan exactly what happened.

Xu Qingshan didn't interject to inquire in detail, but just listened carefully, and only when he heard the crown prince and the second prince did his brows frown slightly.

At the end, looking at the silent father, Xu Mingwu also stopped talking.

"Wu'er, you need to listen to your eldest brother more in the future, he is more mature and stable than you, as for the two highnesses and the cubs of the Chaoguo family, you don't have to pay attention to them."

Xu Mingwu nodded silently, he didn't want to bird these guys!

Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty's summoning of you today is beyond my expectations. ”

"Dad, the child also thinks it's a little too sudden, so just hit Myanmar and directly send a powerful general to sweep it away, why bother to summon my little student?"

Today's audience made Xu Mingwu frightened, not happy at all!

Xu Qingshan said: "As a father, I often face the saint, but I can't see through His Majesty's thoughts, you haven't been in contact with Your Majesty, how can you figure out the holy will......."

"The child understands ......"

Xu Mingwu sat up straight and looked at Xu Qingshan, he understood the meaning of these words, this may be one of the emperor's methods!

Xu Qingshan continued: "Wu'er, my Ming will be like a cloud, my father is getting older, and there is not much time left to fight for Your Majesty, now that you have the emperor's order, you should work hard, and you must not live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and the two cardinals!" ”

Xu Mingwu got up and said to Xu Qingshan: "Father, rest assured, the child will definitely be able to make some achievements, so that His Majesty will be impressed by me and convincing others!" ”

Xu Qingshan looked at this son, Lao Huai was pleased, and secretly said that the Emperor Ming Military Academy was worthy of being a large-scale talent cultivation base, and it was able to train this unobtrusive child so well-behaved and sensible in just two months!

"In a few days, it will be the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, and your marriage with the Qi family can be handled by yourself."

"Huh?"

Xu Mingwu was speechless, he almost forgot about his pockmarked fiancée!

......

The fourth day of the sixth month of the 19th year of Tianwu is the seventeenth birthday of the crown prince Zhu He.

Early in the morning, the city of Nanjing was filled with some unusual atmosphere, full of hurried eunuchs and palace ladies, who were in and out of the imperial city, busily procuring various items.

The Qinhuai River wharf outside the Zhengyang Gate is also full of colorful boats, which are loaded with seasonal vegetables and fruits and delicacies from all over the world, loaded on horse-drawn carriages, and sail towards the imperial city.

On this day, firecrackers rang out in Nanjing, drums were noisy, and the birth of the crown prince became the focus of discussion in the streets and alleys of Beijing.

Almost all the subjects of the Ming Dynasty know that the Son of Heaven dotes on the crown prince, and since the crown prince was fifteen years old, he has asked for the annual birthday of the prince, the princes, nobles, civil and military ministers, all to participate, and celebrate in the East Palace.

To this end, the Forbidden City sent thousands of eunuchs and palace maids to be busy for this birthday, starting from dawn, and the palace forbidden army scattered on Hongwu Street, distributing cakes and sweets from door to door.

"Hahaha! I'm rich! ”

Xu Fu Ji's shop was filled with the sound of Xu Fu laughing.

Because of the "relationship" of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, this time the prince's birthday used Xu Fuji's candy, which made Xu Fu a lot of money!

The candy profit is only partial, and the bulk is the "Huazi" brand toothpaste sold in the shop!

In order to participate in this high-end private party and make a good impression on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other nobles, the noble ministers of the major mansions in Beijing, including their families, purchased a large number of this refreshing and silky Huazi brand toothpaste, which once doubled the price of toothpaste!

For a time, the guests were full, and the queue to buy toothpaste was two miles long in front of Xu Fu Chi.

Since noon yesterday, more than a dozen merchants have taken the initiative to contact Xu Fu to request cooperation and be responsible for the distribution of Huazi brand toothpaste.

Xu Fu didn't dare to make his own claims, and pushed his master Xu Mingwu out, claiming that this was the inventor and had the exclusive right to sell.

Xu Mingwu spent half a day negotiating eight reputable distributors, all of which are powerful businessmen, specializing in precious incense powder jewelry, with a complete industrial chain and fixed customer groups.

Xu Mingwu knew that the production technology of toothpaste was not very difficult, and it would not be long before it would be copied by others, so he held the idea of how much he could make now, sold it wildly, and made a lot of money!

Xu Mingwu also took the opportunity to expand the toothpaste industry chain, and specially took out a few shops from the Hou Mansion to specialize in making and selling toothpaste.

Xu Fu began to become the general distributor of Huazi brand toothpaste from a small family, and became a member of the Beijing business community.

Born as an orphan, he has never seen so many silver yuan since he was picked up by Pingyang Hou Xu Qingshan and returned to the Hou Mansion!

From this moment on, Xu Fu's admiration for his second young master was like a surging river, and it was out of control!
