De is also crazy! Occasionally, Zichen Jingguo, Wuyi Mendi.

There is wine but pouring Zhaozhou soil, who will have this intention?

He did not believe and became a confidant.

The blue-eyed singing is not old, and he is in front of the respect and wipes away the tears of the heroes.

You don't see, the moon is like water.

The monarch must be drunk this night.

And by him, the eyebrows and rumors, ancient and modern are the same.

Why don't you ask about your life experience, just sneer!

Think, start from the beginning, and repent.

One day, the heart is in a thousand catastrophes, and the back of the body is afraid of his life.

However, the promise is heavy, and you must remember.

"Golden Wisp Song, Gift to Liang Fen" Nalan Rongruo

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the streets and alleys of Nanjing, there will always be some lace news, and the Ming army is always recovering lost territory, which can no longer stimulate the nerves of the common people.

"Hey, have you all heard, there was a happy event in our Nanjing City recently, which caused the princes and grandsons to sigh!" In the teahouse, a few idlers were sitting together chatting, although they were not like the children of the Eight Banners fighting eagles and walking birds, but they did not give in to the leisure. "If what you say is the same as what I think in my heart, who doesn't know about it, isn't it that your kid is also jealous of our Commander Deng like those princes and grandsons?"

The other idler's answer was clearly questioning. "Where can it be, Commander Deng is a red man in front of our Long Live Lord, just like our wounded soldiers who retreated, they were all born and died for the Ming Dynasty. Brother, let me say a word from Gao Pan, he is also our comrade-in-arms. ”

"Hey, look at what you can, you still call your comrade-in-arms to the commander?" Another gossip at the same table was sarcastic. The first said, "What's there?" Our brothers have been wounded on the battlefield, and Long Live Lord has not forgotten to give us a pension every month, and the family wants land and land, and there are three big cattle in the brothers' families. What happened to Commander Deng? Can his old man still have our brother to spare? ”

The other nodded and said: "Brother is telling the truth, we veterans who have been discharged from the army, because of their disabilities, are now idle, but Long Live Lord has never forgotten us, not to mention that the fields are distributed to us, and we are also given a monthly pension." To be honest, although I have a broken arm, when I walk on the street now, I am envious in the eyes of the neighbors. Have you ever seen veterans of which dynasty or generation have our treatment? Have you ever seen an ordinary peasant who does not plough the fields and lives in the capital drinking tea and drinking wine all day long? ”

It is said that Zhu Si really cares about these veterans, not only gives them more fertile land, but also establishes a club for these veterans in Guocheng, Nanjing, and the daily management and welfare of these veterans are directly under the jurisdiction of Qin Yiming, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. They don't need to work on weekdays, but once or two a year, they are recruited by the school training guards under Qin Yiming to send the active troops of the Ming army to various places, what are they doing? Explain, mobilize and publicize, and show up for the soldiers of the Ming army on active duty: "You think about how I fought back then, and now I am living a fairy-like life after being injured." "Having such a propaganda team waving the flag and shouting for Zhu Si's great cause of unification is, of course, much better than pure preaching. Even after being disabled, they can still get the best generous pension, which makes most of the Ming soldiers from the bottom of the society more combative.

In Guocheng's club, in addition to all kinds of entertainment, they also like to get together and chat. Qin Yiming also set up a special organization to match these absentees and help them build families. A comfortable life is built between home and club. They all like to play with their former comrades-in-arms in the club, and the brothers of life and death on the battlefield have gathered in Guocheng, Nanjing, with such a large number of veterans, it will also play a stabilizing role in the security and urban defense of Nanjing. Although the veterans have disabilities, there is no doubt about their combat experience and loyalty. With such a large number of soldiers living in Nanjing, Zhu Si can naturally rest assured to conquer the four seas. Once there is a change in Nanjing, these lightly disabled veterans can all be armed in an instant.

The big news in the mouths of the veterans is a wedding. Maybe her wedding to Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, when she was seventeen years old, is still talked about by Nanjing people, but that memory has become an eternal pain in Kou Mei's heart. Zhu Guobi's wedding was not only to marry her, but also to save his face. However, after marriage, in Zhu Guobi's eyes, Kou Mei is still just a singer, nothing more.

Ten years later, Kou Mei will marry again, and he is still married to a popular man in the dynasty, Deng Kai, the commander of Jinyiwei. Originally, she was going to be a concubine when she married into the Deng family this time, and with Deng Kai's financial resources, it was really difficult to give her the same pomp and circumstance as ten years ago. However, Deng Kai's infatuation with Kou Mei is not comparable to Zhu Guobi. The exploits made for the Ming Dynasty are still difficult to erase Kou Mei's former identity, and the so-called Oiran is nothing more than a joke in the party. It's so hard for a woman like her to love someone. It's even harder to get a man's heart. So Kou Mei didn't care too much about fame, she knew that fame was definitely a luxury for her. She was originally a poor person with a humble status, as long as this man can treat herself sincerely, as long as she no longer flatters those stinky men against her will.

Until one day, Zhu Si summoned Kou Mei for the second time on the platform, so that this chivalrous woman finally had someone she wanted to thank and repay. For her wedding, Su Pei, Shu Yao, and Mu Qing all prepared a lot of dowries. Zhu Si also recognized her as a righteous sister and summoned Kou Mei to marry Deng Kai as a flat wife. And like a married princess, she used the royal guard of honor to carry Kou Mei out of Chengtianmen. Although he did this, Zhu Si was also criticized by many people. But Zhu Si is such a person who doesn't value face, but values family, love and friendship more. He is a sentient being, not a saint.

Most of the criticism came from the mouths of scholars and doctors who imprisoned and taught etiquette, and the local people still sincerely sighed at Zhu Si's move. Not only that, Zhu Si also handed over all the restaurants on the Qinhuai River to Kou Mei to operate. These restaurants were all confiscated by the imperial court for their crimes, and after they were handed over to Kou Mei, eighty percent of the restaurants on the Qinhuai River became Kou Mei's industry. With such a large dowry, the sedan chair carried out from Chengtianmen, it is difficult for such a wedding not to be grand. The people of Jinling finally saw a ceremony that was even more grand than the wedding of Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo.

Deng Kai's Jinyi Guard formed a 5,000-person greeting team, and Gao Bizheng, as Zhu Si's Jingwei Army, formed a 10,000-person send-off team. With such a scale, it seems to be catching up with the wedding of Zhu Sisi's wedding. From the thousand-step corridor to Chongli Street, and then to Tongjimen Street. went around from Jiangning County to Shangyuan County, and this wedding was simply too lively. Along the way, the gongs and drums were noisy, the wind music was singing in unison, and Kou Mei, who was sitting in the phoenix, couldn't stop the tears of happiness. The memories that were once unbearable were finally changed because I made the right friends and married the right people. However, it all started with her selfless dedication to her homeland.
