Chapter 18 The General's Mansion

Beijing was still very prosperous in 1396. Although there were no high-rise buildings in the 21st century, no luxury cars coming and going, and no various places with bright lights and wine.

But Hu Ye found that Beijing was more down-to-earth at this time and could make him feel like home.

"The trees in the fragrant mountains are red, covering the lush greenery. The cold rain whispered in the autumn wind. The road to welcome guests, the stone steps are covered with calmness. I am happy in the cold autumn wind." Hu Ye looked at the scenery around him and blurted out.

He didn't remember who wrote this poem, but it was engraved somewhere in Xiangshan, Beijing. Last time Hu Ye went to Xiangshan to visit him, he accidentally discovered it. He thought the author's literary talent was good, so he wrote it down.

Hu Ye only remembers this poem about Beijing, and it doesn't sound so grand. It is probably written by the ancients. Because before the Ming Dynasty, Beijing did not build much, and it was only after Zhu Di was about to move the capital, which started a large-scale construction.

Therefore, if it was written by people from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the poems would have been very grand, and at least they would have been as wonderful as describing the Yellow Crane Tower.

"Little brother is really very literary. Could it be that my little brother has been to Xiangshan?" As soon as Hu Ye finished reading this poem, Zhang Fu's figure appeared.

"Brother Zhang Fu, if you call me a little brother, you will see you. I'll call you a big brother. From now on, just call me Xiaoye or Yezi. It sounds too awkward to call me Zhang Fu who suddenly appeared. Hu Ye said casually.

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect that Ye Zi is not only very literary but also a person with a temperament. Then I'm better obey my elder brother."

Zhang Fu likes to be friends with people like Hu Ye. He will not be accustomed to you just because of your official position, nor will he flatter you because of your high position and power. He is a role that even the King of Yan dares to provoke.

"Actually, I have never been to Xiangshan. This poem was just passed down by my master. I heard that the master went to Xiangshan back then, maybe it was my master who improvised it on Xiangshan back then."

Hu Ye casually said, "Anyway, if you have your own master to take care of everything, it will be his reputation that will be damaged if it is exposed, and he will not care about his own business."

"Mr. Ling is indeed a god and has a very high taste. Xiangshan was built in the 26th year of Jin Dading. It has a history of more than 200 years. The scenery on it is beautiful and is one of the must-see scenery in Peking. If you have time, I will accompany you to Xiangshan to ensure that you can linger."

Zhang Fu was very excited and told Hu Ye about the origin of Xiangshan, and also promised to take Hu Ye to Xiangshan for a trip.

Hu Ye also wanted to go there. Although he had already visited Xiangshan in his previous life, Hu Ye was still very interested in what Xiangshan looked like in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was the early Ming Dynasty, the city of Beijing is still very large now. Hu Ye sat in the carriage and shook for a long time. Hu Ye felt that he should have walked for several miles, but the carriage had not stopped yet, so he still had the intention of continuing to move forward.

Pulling his head out, Hu Ye wanted to ask Zhang Fu how long it would take, but saw a soldier reporting something in Zhang Fu's ear.

Hu Ye thought he was a person who likes gossip, so he wanted to ask what the soldier reported to Zhang Fu, but in the end he still held back and didn't ask.

Because he knew that it might be a military secret, and although he was very familiar with Zhang Fu, he was not a member of the army after all, and some secrets were impossible to let him know. Zhang Fu is not a fool like Zheng Er, he can cheat whatever he wants.

"Yezi, Your Highness Yan has arranged your residence just now. It is not far away from the front, only a street from my house. Haha, it will be much more convenient to visit you later. I will take you there now." After the soldier left, Zhang Fu walked up to the carriage and said to Hu Ye with a smile.

Hu Ye didn't know if the soldier just now told Zhang Fu about his residence. Zhang Fu didn't say it, and he didn't ask, anyway, since he had a residence, he would care about what else he did.

So Hu Ye was impatient to go to his residence, so the groom rushed to the car faster.

The carriage ran, and Hu Ye then noticed the groom. Although he was sitting in the carriage, he could still see his burly figure, and his upper body was taller than Hu Ye.

His strong arms were bigger than Zhang Fu's, and he was definitely a killer in the army. Hu Ye was very surprised. Why did he use such a tough guy to drive his carriage? Isn't it enough to find a husband?

Before I could think about it, because the carriage had stopped, Hu Ye jumped down and looked at the big mansion in front of him. The plaque on the gate had been abandoned, and he could only vaguely see some marks cut by the knife.

"Yezi, this is the mansion of a general of the Yuan Dynasty. General Xu Da captured Dadu, which is now in Peiping. This Yuan Dynasty general abandoned his family and fled, leaving behind this mansion."

"Now decades have passed, the General's Mansion, which was once a city-like house, is already deserted, and the gold-edged characters on the large plaque have been taken away by the people. If His Royal Highness Yan had not repeatedly ordered the orders, it would have probably become someone else's nest. Now it's a bargain for you and you have become the new owner of this huge mansion." Zhang Fu said to the General's Mansion in front of him.

"Brother Zhang knows why His Highness Yan King had to keep this mansion instead of rewarding it to meritorious ministers?" Hu Ye asked curiously.

Big houses like this are usually rewarded to those who have made great contributions. Zhu Di guards Beiping, and his subordinates have the most lacking military achievements. I believe that many people have enough military achievements to this house. Why did Zhu Di stay until now?

"Uh, I don't know this, how can we guess the Lord's thoughts thoroughly. Maybe it was just left for you by His Highness King Yan. Maybe he knew a long time ago that a strange man like you would definitely appear." Zhang Fu explained randomly.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes and would not believe Zhu Di even if he beat Hu Ye to death. He would know that a strange man like him would appear. Could it be that Zhu Di is also a time traveler?

Just as Hu Ye and Zhang Fu were talking, several more carriages followed behind him, and dozens of women walked down from above one after another.

Hu Ye knew that they were the women who were rescued by him, but now they completely changed their appearance, their hair was no longer as dirty as they were in the cage that day, and their clothes were neatly arranged.

Hu Ye didn't know where Zhu Di got them new clothes, but when he thought, he wouldn't get a few new clothes if he was the King of Yan?

The women got off the carriage and came to Hu Ye in a little hurried manner. They clearly remembered what the devil Zhu Di said. They thought they would be Hu Ye's people in the future, so it must be right to follow him.

"Haha, Ye Zi is very lucky. I guess it will be a sleepless night tonight. Brother will congratulate you first, haha." Zhang Fu looked at a group of women following Hu Ye's back and smiled. He thought Hu Ye would definitely not be able to control so many women.

Hu Ye really wanted to kick Zhang Fu. Is he the kind of person he thought? Hu Ye felt it was necessary to explain to him.
